IMHO this won’t happen. It would be political suicide for 0bama, and for Hillary.
The Clintons aren’t that stupid.
Sometime between Nov 5, 2008 and January 21, 2009 (provided Opossum wins)
On October 5, they won’t even have to go with the aneurysm story. It’ll be dementia, and everyone will believe it!
(Why do you think they call it dem-entia??)
Biden will stay. If they ditch Biden and choose Hillary, people will be FURIOUS. It is beneath Hilary, she’s been tossed. To beg her to come back??? Not going to happen.
Interesting analysis but remember, you’re talking abt New Jersey! With all due respect to NJ Freepers, the folks in the highest taxed state just LOVE to pay out their a**es. So any Dem’ll do...All the folks in “fly over country” hopefully know better - we can only pray to God and grease the guns...
Spot on. Replacing Say-It-Ain’t-So Joe would put Osamabama right square behind the McGovern 8-ball. Don’t think McQueeg would win 49 states, but he’d be into the 40+ range for certain.
I sure wouldn’t want to be the chap who’ll have to fix that bus’s tranny.
Not quite right. Suicide will not evoke sympathy. Now if he died of “natural causes”........... But that might seem too convenient. So if some “right-wing nut-job” did it, well that would get Osama Big Ears a lot of sympathy votes and Hitlery could step in. So Joe, better watch your back.
You know, once upon a time that idea would never have entered my mind, now it would not surprise me at all.
Easy. A Rat judge would legally change Hillary's name to "Hillary Joe Biden Clinton" for about 2 weeks...
I didn’t think it would happen, but the so called rift is very supicious. Now I don’t know what to think. Those democrat bastards are capable of anything.

I agree! Hillary does not want to be VP. Revenge is a very powerful emotion and I think the Clinotn’s have a bottle of bubbly waiting for a McCain victory come Nov. President Clinton is on Greta tonight, do you think it is a coincidence that he is making the media rounds and saying both are good people but only mention that McCain is ready to be President?
Exactly, Eagleton was pulled 1 Aug. This is way to late to hope to get away with such a move.
Someone mentioned this, and I think it’s correct: I think the ballots have already been printed, and it’s too late to change.
It will be 2 days after the VP debate. Hillary won’t want to be seen next to Palin in front of the cameras. First it will be leaked, then a press conference with Obama and Biden will be scheduled where he will graciously accept Bidens “resignation” from the ticket and announce Hillary at the same time so it will appear as a smooth transaction to avoid Chaos.
But Obama can blame it on Biden’s health! That Biden has a life-threatening cancer needing immediate treatment, therefore it is unfit to be the VP.
The MSM will be very sympathetic and Congress will be most accomodating.
If Hillary replaces Biden, BObama is done. It would be a move of absolute panic, something the polls don’t portend at this time. The real winner would be Hillary, re-elevated to the national spot-light for the setup to her run in four years.
I don’t think it is going to happen.
