I like the symmetry to Beau taking the seat, but I do hope he has a primary opponent. It's only fair. Via Ben-
Two Democratic sources tell me that Ted Kaufman, a longtime Biden adviser, will be named to fill his Senate seat.
UPDATE: A Delaware source says that Kaufman would likely be a "placeholder," spending two years in Biden's seat as a cap to a long, loyal career as a key Biden deputy. He could vacate the seat in time for Biden's son, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, to run for it in 2010.
UPDATE: The Delaware governor announces the Kaufman pick, with both she and Kaufman saying he would merely serve out the remainder of Biden's term, and not seek reelection.
