He's been in the senate since 1973. There is virtually no chance that he will lose in any primary. He is also young enough that he could be around for another 20 years or so.
He isn't a DINO. That word gets thrown around way too much. He is still quite a bit better on most domestic issues. Zell Miller is a DINO and maybe Ben Nelson but all the other senators are at worst moderates.
It would be better though if Paul Sarbanes was the ranking democrat on Foreign Relations. Then, people wouldn't care what Biden has to say on foreign policy and Sarbanes is much more liberal. Biden could become ranking democrat on the Judiciary Committee but I don't know if I would want him there either.
