Terry's Elections Guide and Predictions: Delaware

DE-AL (Republican-held)
Mike Castle (R) 55 - Dennis Spivack (D) 44
This race is not competitive; Mike Castle is a Delaware institution who's been in Congress for 14 years and was governor before that. That said, Castle had an ostensibly minor stroke in September and hasn't held any public events since. Why this isn't a bigger issue is beyond me, but I do think Spivack (or some other Democrat) will be a serious contender in this Democratic-leaning state in 2008, regardless of whether Castle runs again. (AL stands for At Large, proof that Delaware has fewer people than Rhode Island.)
