Rumblings about Biden’s “personal issues” requiring more of his attention
Rumblings | 9.04.08 | rumblings

Posted on 09/04/2008 7:05:51 AM PDT by rface

I am starting to hear rumblings that Biden has “personal issues” that have to be dealt with. There is no word on what these issues might be – but it might require more attention than he can now give to these “issues”

People familiar with this situation are beginning to speculate that Joe Biden might withdraw from the Democratic ticket as early as the middle of next week.

Hillary insiders have indicated that Hillary is available to step into the vacant slot “for the good of the party.” There are trial balloons already being floated to party officials suggesting possible scenarios on how this might happen without embarrassing Barak Obama, but it is too early to tell what kind of effect a Obama / Hillary ticket might have on the base of the Democratic Party. Very early indications are that a Obama / Hillary ticket would be well received

Look in the coming days…. Possibly Friday evening…. For serious questions about Bidens ability to serve as VP.

The Palin selection was a surprise to the MSM, the Dems, and most of us. I am sure that the Obama campaign were surprised by it and were not prepared for it.

Correct. The dems were prepared for another wrinkly old white guy. Sarah has them befuddled.

And I agree with someone else here who said that this Biden rumor is just a way of lowering expectations.

You’re dreaming. And it’s dangerously dismissive.

Agreed. I think it’s a big reason for the hissy fit they’re throwing now. They were completely blindsided.

The MSM is just PO'ed because McCain didn't leak the name to them as being on his "shortlist" so the MSM could "vett" Palin. That is what the "she wasn't properly vetted" is all about. As a reaction to that, half the tabloid jounalists and every lefty newspaper is filling every seat on flights to Anchorage to did for dirt.

I think it’s been established that we disagree.

How did I know this was coming. Oh well, Hillary doesn't hold a candle to Palin.

Apparently, Obama didn't vett Biden well enough, he should have had the judgement to make sure his veep pick didn't have issues that would take him from the race.

OBAMA NOT PROPERLY VETTING HIS VP PICK, POOR JUDGEMENT AND A PRECURSOR OF HOW HIS DECISION MAKING ABILTY IS VERY SUSPECT

Thats my headline and that is point that will have to be driven home if the Dems pull this stunt!

Do you see this will be the ultimate proof that Obama is not capable of making good decisions, now he wants a do over.

He will ruin himself if he pulls this stunt.

Just stay strong. They'll keep Biden. But they'll make this thing unfathomably ugly before it's over.

I hope you’re right about Biden. I’d love to be wrong on this one.

I know you’re right about the second part.

Hillary knows this and that’s why she won’t do it.

This means that the Obama vetting committee, Caroline and friends, did not properly do their job, incompetence displayed by Obama from the very beginning. He couldn’t even pick a reliable team to vett the candidates.

We all know Biden, so we know they could not of missed any of this.

Obama is incompetent in picking his staff which also makes him incompetent, too much so to be POTUS.

As much crap as Obama and his followers in the MSM gave McCain over his Palin pick, should come home to roost.
