14. The alternative was to give one other candidate a foot up.
I don't know who else in Delaware is interested in the seat, but I have to assume there is more than one person other than Beau Biden. So the governor should have picked one of them so that Biden wouldn't be the only one with name recognition? Then every other potential candidate would be screaming even louder.
At least this way, every candidate comes in to the 2010 election with what they've got going for them already, rather than the governor bestowing an advantage on one particular candidate.
