If that happened, Bill Richardson would have to go into the Witness Protection Program.
But if Obama could be convinced to cheerfully take the VP slot as a "co-president," and could sell it in the 'hood, that just might work. They get the dough (left-overs are Obama's property, legal fair and square), and they keep the Black vote on the plantation.
Such a deal! And look at the credit Obama would get as a hero of the party. OK, so he's president next time. He's young. He'll get over it.
Alternate scenario: a real scandal bomb drops on the Golden-Tongued Anointed One, something with low down dirty sex and drugs ... what happens then?
It’s hard to believe a sex scandal could bring Obama down, but that being a Communist wouldn’t. Have we let so many illegals into this country to vote that we are in danger of electing and out and out Communist? The evidence is overwhelming. I remember hearing when I was young that the only way to elect a Communist was for them to run as a Democrat. I remember hearing about persecution of Christians when I was young and I thought it could never happen here. Now I see how we are frighteningly close to it and wonder what can be done to stop this trainwreck. We seem as vulnerable to real extremists as Post WWI Germany.
