My understanding was that J. Caleb Boggs was going to retire in 1972 but that Nixon, wanting to keep Pete du Pont in the House and prevent a likely GOP Senate primary between Du Pont and a former congressman, leaned on Boggs to run for one final term. Had Nixon stayed out of it, Du Pont would have been elected to the Senate in 1972. That would have meant that (i) Joe Biden may have never become a Senator but (ii) Du Pont would have never served as governor or Delaware; history certainly would have been very different.

But, yes, had Pete du Pont run against Biden in 1984, Biden would have been gone for good. Well, maybe Biden would have run against William Roth in 1988, but he probably would have lost then as well.

Or Biden will announce he’s stepping down and ask Romney to be Obama’s VP

It also didn’t help matters to have the weak liberal RINO incumbent Governor, Russell Peterson, on the ticket. He went down to defeat (51-48%) to Democrat ex-Lt Gov. Sherman Tribbitt, in a year that no Republican should’ve had to sweat (he later switched to the Democrats in a fit of pique during the Clinton impeachment era). Tribbitt was later obliterated by duPont by a 14% margin in ‘76, when the latter ran for Governor (which to this day remains the worst defeat for an incumbent Governor in DE history).

The Drudgereport claims, "Secret Service agents overheard on flight full of Republicans...", but the linked report states, "The Drudge Report cited sources Tuesday saying that Secret Service agents have been spotted in Tampa telling people that they are doing advance work for Biden’s trip."

So it's not clear if the SS were simply doing their advance work in preparing for Biden's now-confirmed trip or whether they just had loose lips on the plane, and if the latter, was it incompetence or deliberate.

Well done, as usual, FM!

NFHale: What happened to Plugs is tragic. However, that doesn’t give him the right to ruin our nation.

FAUSTO SAY: “If Obama came up for impeachment and I was in Congress I’d have to vote no, seriously.”

ROBERTO SAY: FAUSTO, you f**kin’ crazy. You take out your enemy when given the chance. Besides POTUS Sloe Joe = free beer for all!!! First thing he does is sign an EO eliminating any drinking age requirments.

The GOP should follow him around with “Welcome Taliban Joe!” signs and banners for his photo opportunities.

Republicans should also drag around loud chains while laughing at the commie race baiter. “I need a job, Joe!”

Someone needs to post a picture of Biden with a big smile on his face. The caption “Barack told me that I get to go to the first convention, then he would go to the second one.”

“..What happened to Plugs is tragic. However, that doesn’t give him the right to ruin our nation....”

I hear you loud and clear, brother. He’s the enemy, through and through. No disagreement whatsoever.

All I’m saying is I know from personal experience that tragedy does strange things to peoples’ minds - and their hearts. Twisting the details of his story to help his election chances, etc., is just beyond scummy.

Don’t worry bro...Hale ain’t going “softy” not no-how!!! Ha!

Fausto likes Sarah Kustok, local sports reporter. She left town for NY. Made Fausto sad.

As for Solidad, Meh, CNN would have to do better to get Fausto (Bob Dole is gonna stop this for the time being) to watch their crap network. I don’t even watch Fox much. I didn’t even follow my girlfriend (she didn’t know about the relationship) Kiran Chetry when she left for CNN. I see now from her wiki page that she left CNN a year ago. I wonder what she’s up to.

He also made some other rather strange comments regarding his late wife, one in that he implied missing her (or rather missing sex with her) because of her “Playboy Playmate” body.

He said that? Out loud to somebody? Poor guy.

It's too bad (for the country, great for him and his sons obviously) that he found another wife to get him interested in the art of screwing over the people again.
