My high hopes dashed.... for Biden Jr.....

Young Beau Biden seemed so unlike his infamous Dad. He didn't dodge the draft through five deferments before he discovered he had asthma as a child, he served his time in uniform in an all volunteer force (even if it was as a REMF lawyer) and he apparently is doing a fairly good job in Delaware in his state attorney general seat.

However, genes will out, I reckon.

Beau Biden, the son of the Democratic vice president, went "off script," as he called it, to fire a shot a Republican Mitt Romney but hit North Carolina Dim Gov. Bev Perdue at the same time.

At the N.C. Democratic Party's annual fundraising dinner, Biden mentioned that Romney didn't seek a second term as Massachusetts governor, suggesting his failed economic policies hurt him. "I've never met a successful politician who didn't run again," said Biden, the Delaware attorney general.

The crowd collectively groaned. Biden's line sounded similar to what Republicans say about another governor who isn't seeking re-election: the Dem's convention hostess, North Carolina Democrat Governor Bev Perdue.

I hope Joe's Beau doesn't wear a size 12 EEE shoe!! It will be hard to remove.
