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.

It seems the Dems will pull a Lautenberg and dump Biden for Hillary...and it will be okay with him because Dems know that their party will do anything to win.
I think putting Hillary on the ticket will then cost Barry Hussein the election and would be doubly sweet because it would be the end of her politically.

The liberal dems don’t care about cynical, they just want the presidency no matter who they have to send up there to get the job done.
Yo, Lucifer, the Dems are calling ya.

He can’t “compete” with Sarah Barracuda?

No way can they just shuttle players in and out like a football team.
This would be a disaster for Obama’s effort if it happened.
Lots of junk gets floated around in an election.

It does appear that Biden has a drinking problem, but that shouldnt matter since he is a Dem.I believe it was Nixon who also had a drinking problem. He had a liquor cabinet in the White House. He gave one of the honor guard the key to the cabinet and told the honor guard that he was under strict orders to allow Nixon to have only one drink a day.

We'll know when Obama claims he's a "thousand percent" behind binBiden.

Called it two weeks ago. There is no way Obama can have Joe on the ticket with Sarah running against her. Watch for the switch. I really wonder how it would play with the voting public.

One would think that something like this would also bring up questions about Obama's judgment and ability to make decisions, eh?

Obama - Hillary?
Why would Hillary do this? What is in it for her?
I think 2012 may well turn out to be a Hillary v. Palin contest.

Not sure how theyd replace him.How ever George McGovern replaced Thomas Eagleton when it was revealed he had undergone electroshock therapy.
The McGovern/Shriver ticket went on to carry Massachusetts and the District of Columbia with 17 electoral votes in 1972.
Biden has two extra holes in his head, so anything is possible.

Looks like the Messiah is going to get a “Do Over” on his first big decision as Nominee for POTUS.
The compliant Drive-By Media will go along with it, but will the American people? I can see it now: President Bush got a “Do Over” when he appointed Harriet Meiers so why not give the Messiah one?

Absolutely. I think Obama - after last night - is shaking in his shoes. He knows he is in a no-win situation and is desperate.... NOW he wants a woman on the ticket... He wants a particular woman and will make a very foolhardy choice in selecting Evita. He wants in the WH that bad and will compromise every shred of conviction he has (if any) to accomplish that victory.
Think of it, two of the MOST venal and self serving individuals in American public life in the WH together. It is a blueprint for chaos. The DNC will bring its very own brand of flimflam, waste, corruption, incompetence, arrogance, greed and immeasurable baseness to the WH. It's over for the Liberals.

I saw something on the AOL homepage about Biden’s son or daughter being arrested during a protest at the Repub convention.
I didn’t read it,but when I went back to look for it...it was gone.
Something about a drunken rampage.
Did anyone else see this?
