Christine O'Donnell, the 2008 Republican nominee for Senate who lost to then-Sen. Joe Biden (as he concurrently ran for re-election to the Senate while he was on the Presidential ticket) by a margin of 65-35, has announced that she will run for the Senate again in 2010.
She will be running in the special election for Joe Biden's Senate seat, which is currently held by placeholder Ted Kaufman. State Attorney General Beau Biden--the Vice President's son--is expected to run on the Democratic side, and will face little to no opposition in the primary.
O'Donnell's entrance in the race decreases the likelihood that Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE)--the NRSC's top recruit to run for the seat--will jump in the race, as he will not likely want to tussle with someone like O'Donnell in the GOP primary.
O'Donnell is seen as a much weaker candidate than Castle, and if she is the Republican nominee facing off against Beau Biden, the Democrats should hold the seat with ease.
