Beau Biden characterization[edit]

This article currently classifies Beau Biden as an "Iraq War veteran." At this moment, at most, he is currently serving in Iraq. It's possible he hasn't left basic training yet, so he may still be in the US. Either way, he's not a veteran yet. Based on this article and Mr. Biden's biography, it appears his political supporters are quite eager to add Iraq vet status to his resume. @grog_beta (talk) 06:51, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've restructured the article a bit, and in doing so I've made more clear Beau Biden's status. Wasted Time R (talk) 13:54, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Much better, but the sentence "Potential Democratic candidates include Beau Biden and Carney." isn't supported by it's referenced source. Is that your opinion? Why didn't you include Coons or Governor-elect Markell? 72.94.21.90 (talk) 05:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Have added cites, have added Coons. Didn't see anything for Markell running, would seem very unlikely. Wasted Time R (talk) 13:25, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well done. Thanks for that. @grog_beta (talk) 05:52, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Republican candidate[edit]

The Christine O'Donnell article indicates that she is the Republican candidate, but this page says 'TBD' instead. Is there any doubt that she is the candidate? Are sources needed? Please clarify, or update the page. --DThomsen8 (talk) 16:34, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where does that article state that O'Donnell is the Republican candidate? I think both articles are clear that she is a candidate, pending the primary. – Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 19:15, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know where this reader is getting that idea from either. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:11, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake, I did not see the rather obvious fact that the primary is in September. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:41, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Campaign "nastiness"[edit]

The article's section on the Republican primary currently contains a quote from Tom Ross targeted at Christine O'Donnell as the only example of the "nastiness" of the campaign. Should there be at least a paragraph devoted to this, given some of the extensive nastiness in the race from all sides? This article at Politico, for example, points out that one of O'Donnell's supporters made a web ad claiming Mike Castle was gay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martian bob (talk • contribs) 19:15, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've now imported some material that goes into this. Wasted Time R (talk) 04:17, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've already tried requesting a photo of Coons[edit]

I've tried to get an image of Coons cleared for our use (via WP:OTRS) by contacting the Coons' campaign, but have been ignored. I mention this just to save someone else effort that probably won't prove fruitful.Bdell555 (talk) 07:22, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Section on republican upset[edit]

From Larry Sabato: "Despite motivating new conservative voters across the country, the Tea Party cost Republicans Senate seats in Colorado, Delaware, and Nevada."

I think it would be a good idea to add a section quoting some analysis on whether the Republicans could have won had Michael Castle been the candidate. Cas5nq (talk) 18:09, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Witchcraft[edit]

Wasn't this the campaign where she was accused of witchcraft and it turned in to a big deal? How is there no mention of that here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schnapps17 (talk • contribs) 15:21, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
