Biden Can Still Run for Senate

It seems that Joe Biden can continue his run for senator from Delaware as well as be Barack Obama’s running mate.Biden has been a senator since 1972. He was reelected in 1978, 1984, 1990, 1996, and 2002… bringing him up for his seventh election in 2008. In some states he’d have to drop his Senate bid in order to run for vice president. But not in Delaware.
