Relevant section:

It was the governor's race for 2016 that naturally inspired most of the sticker shock.

The best office in the state will be open as Jack Markell, the Democratic governor, bumps up against the two-term constitutional limit and joins Pete du Pont, Mike Castle, Tom Carper and Ruth Ann Minner as Delawareans barred from running, along with convicted felons.

The governor's race actually got going in the spring, when Beau Biden declared he would not run for a third-term as the Democratic attorney general this year but for governor.

There was a "Beau" sticker. There was also Beau, riding in the parade not with the political set but with the National Guard, where his heart is. He looked like someone who is still convalescing, but coming along, all these long months after he went to the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas for what a doctor there called a "small lesion."

There was also a whimsical "Biden '16/Schwartzkopf" sticker, pairing Biden with Pete Schwartzkopf, the Democratic speaker. It was roundly disavowed by both of them.

"Return Day is a place where rumors are born," Schwartzkopf said.

> Hi folks, had a great trip down to Return Day. Before we even got down there, Molly and Joe sent pictures of stickers that were floating around with "Biden/Schwartzkopf '16" on them. Made by a good friend of ours and Pete's. Jon Starkey tweeted about them:

Just as we arrived, the DNG a Humvee was pulling out of the staging area, and Beau and Hunter hopped in and stood with Gen Vavala. People were waving and cheering like crazy. Certainly the best reception the DNG Humvee has ever received. As Ron said on our ride home, an incredible showing of love and support for Beau. Pretty awesome to see. The pictures made the front page of delawareonline.com and a in the photo gallery as well. http://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/politics/2014/11/06/live-coverage-return-day/18591387/

> After the parade, Beau, Hunter, Ron and I went to the Byrd Group's reception. Beau spoke with a handful of legislators and friends. Everyone was buzzing about how great it was to see him. Beau did talk briefly to Ceilia Cohen. She asked him about the Biden/Schwartzkopf stickers. We ended up leaving just as the NJ and AP reporters were walking up. Perfect timing. /ja 302-598-1885 (cell) Sent from my iPhone, which is responsible for any typos.
