From DelawareOnline:
It’s race weekend in Delaware, with about 100,000 NASCAR fans converging on Dover to watch fast cars on the Monster Mile.
A bit farther south, in races with decidedly less velocity, hundreds of Republicans will meet in Rehoboth Beach for the GOP’s annual convention, which begins tonight and continues Saturday at the Rehoboth Convention Center.
Only a couple of races will be contested in Rehoboth — mainly the one for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democratic Vice President Joe Biden for 36 years, and the one for the U.S. House of Representatives seat held by Republican Mike Castle since 1993.
The other statewide seats have only one GOP contender — Tom Wagner for auditor, Colin Bonini for treasurer — or none at all, as in the race for attorney general, where no one yet has offered to run against the Democratic incumbent — Biden’s son, Beau.
