Hillary to replace Joe as VP ????
 

When Joe Biden recently said Hillary would be a better choice for VP, I looked at my wife and said, "It's begun. The democrats are scared to death Obama's going to lose it and they are setting the table for Biden's exit."

The blogs, conservative and liberal, are alive with chatter that it will happen in October. Obama, Clinton and the dems, have to figure out how not to make it a decision driven by the meltdown of the campaign and how to make it look like Obama's first big decision was not a bad one, especially after their attacks on McCain for Palin.

The possibilities are boundless and certainly make this the most important and interesting election in my lifetime. I'd like to keep the thread on what the Obama-Clinton team will do to election dynamics. Interestingly, many bloggers on the right hope it happens. Will it happen? What do you think?

Will Joe have a mysterious malady which can be linked to being over-65, causing him to reluctantly pass the baton to Sen. Rodham-Clinton and simultaeously "oh, by the way" showing that America should have younger people at the helm than those whose qualify for senior citizen discounts "for the sake of the country" ? ? ?

That would be extraordinary theater and worthy of an Oliver Stone novel. That being said, nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to either politics and baseball.

This wouldn't surprise me in the least. One marxist and one socialist. Scary thought.

Steve. Agreed but at least in baseball you know who's on first.

Flip Flop on his VP ?????

How about that old grey liberal lady herself.....The New York Times.
Of course many would argue that the paper is nothing more than a way liberal Democratic blog.

I saw Biden on the news stating that he wasn't the best choice and that Hillary would have been a stronger choice. There's no BS about this one. I had the same thought. Joe's on his way out and Hillary is waiting to replace him.

This is being done on purpose. Democrats are feeling the heat with Palin and believe they will now lose the election unless they choose Hillary.

So it really isn't about change, then is it? It is just about winning, as always!

How much time does Obama have to change his running mate?
 

I would think that there would be time constraints and how much time Obama has to change his pick for Vice President with the various paper ballots and all the bureaucracy involved with the November 2008 election. Does not anyone remember the hanging chads?

If a Vice Presidential pick gets seriously ill or otherwise incapicitated I can understand changing your horse when you are almost at the other bank but this would really confuse a lot of voters if a Presidential candidate can just write someone else in at the last minute??

Puh-leaseeeeeeeeee!
 

Are you people kidding? The heat of Palin???? :1rotfl: I don't think so. Palin's fizzling out. Although I would love to see Hillary on the ticket, I really think this is a stretch. But if it does happen, more power to Obama! :MOJE_whot:

If Obama changes his V.P. at this time it would be just one more example of the indecisive leadership that he is calling "change".

I do agree he will be good at change, he has displayed his ability to do so whenever it is politically convenient.

I am so disappointed, I really wanted him to be the breath of fresh air that we need so desperately, but he is just another politician.

That's great, I am going to have to remember that one.:laugh:

I guess you don't read the news or watch TV or browse the Internet much. Palin had taken Obama from a huge lead to now being 5 points behind in the polls. Hopefully there are more Democrats who think she is nothing to worry about and will stay home on election day.:)

Really?
 

I guess you don't read the most recent polls that say Palin's popularity is down 10%. She was just a blip on the screen. Trust me, the Dems will be out in droves! :a040:

It appears that the Democrats need to counter with the Playmate of the Month as the VP candidate to get more media coverage.

I looked at all of the links provided. All I can say is context. They say that he was responding to an audience heckler about Hillary Clinton. Do I wish he hadn't "gushed" so effusively? Absolutely. Does he probably regret expressing himself that way? Sure. Do I think it means he is thinking about stepping down? No.
We all need to remember context. I know McCain was attempting to make a joke (a very, very bad one) when he sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." I know he really didn't mean we'd be in Iraq 100 years. There is context to consider. But, if Republicans want their people's words considered in context, Democrat's statements should also be considered in the same light.
Thank you for posting the links. I appreciate it.
