"The potentially fatal consequences of a ruptured brain aneurysm were recently underscored by the untimely and wholly unexpected death of Congresswomen Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Fortunately, for the newly-named Democratic vice-presidential nominee, his prognosis is excellent but, once again, because of the gravity and importance of the position he is aspiring to obtain, special circumstances supervene."
Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.
maybe what biden needs is bodyguards, and that park in DC needs a 24 hour patrol.
The Dems are stuck with Bidet, and it drags them down.
I sent the article to Drudge. Maybe he will run with it.
Wait a minute. If Obama / Biden are elected, and then Biden resigns due to health, Obama would nominate a new vice-president at that time. It wouldn’t automatically be Nancy Pelosi. She might want to stay as Speaker of the House rather than become VP. Obama could choose her but he isn’t required to.
The Speaker of the House is 3rd in line for the presidency but does not automatically move up in the event those ahead of her don’t fill out their terms of office.
It’s a scary thought!
I think they are looking for a way to bring Clinton on board. The Dems will do anything.
Wouldn't there be an outburst from the MSM/DBM like never was heard before in the NYC/Washington DC mega-media corridor???
Hillary as VP insures that the President would have a very short life expectancy. Would even Obama be that stupid?!
Absolutely.
It would exceptional if he did not.
He's not the brightest bulb on the string to begin with, and being blinded as he is or inevitably will be with arrogance, he can be counted upon to continue to push the envelope of bad judgment.
They will dump chia pet in a heartbeat if it helps them win, or at least think they can win. I wonder if Intrade will be trading on Biden abortion.
Well that would give a whole new definition to “being a heartbeat away from the Presidency”. If Hillary got as close as VP, nothing would stop her.
How do you think that's polling with their focus groups? It seems like a bad idea to me, but I'm not a typical focus group participant.
Concern for Joe Biden’s brain “because of the gravity and importance of the position he is aspiring to obtain,...”
What about Obama? I guess because he hasn’t got a brain there isn’t any concern?
I think the Democrats’ internal polls are telling them something the that “news media” polls aren’t telling us. I believe Biden was chosen as a temporary VP to see what McCain would do. Obama is going on 60 Minutes tomorrow night to tell us why he chose Biden. They might have to do an update now that McCain has announced Palin as his VP pick.
Oh My Land! How scary! That would put Nancy Pelosi in the presidency if something happened to Barack!
2008
Man, that would be the end of Obama if that happened.
Why would it be the end of Obama?
