The nation's first state is one of its smallest, and with its own senator running in this election, odds are Delaware will go to the Democrats this November. Sen.

Odds are Delaware will go to the Democrats this November.

Biden has a strong following in his home state and Delaware has been reliably Democratic in the last four elections.

Sen. John McCain won the state's primary en route to the Republican nomination but it probably won't mean much as the Obama-Biden team looks to lock down their home territory of Illinois and Delaware to focus on nearby battleground states such as Pennsylvania.
