Sounds crazy, but I would not be surprised.

In order for this to work, Biden would have to resign, citing ‘personal reasons’, or some such. Obama can’t be seen to reject him. But, one wonders, wasn’t it Governor Palin that everyone was betting on Intrade would be the one to drop out. Even if Biden ‘quits’, it will be seen that Palin has scared Obama.

1. Yes, she’s changed the dynamics of the race.

2. Barry shouldn’t have picked Bozo the Biden in the first place. That said, having picked him anyway and touted him as undoubtedly ready to be president if necessary, I think it’d be difficult if not impossible to dump him at this point. And even if he did bite the bullet and do it...everybody still saw him pick Biden in the first place, and it’s too late to unsee that genius move.

If Fauxbama flips his VP now, he basically is done. The VP pick is the first serious decision he’s had to make and if he calls for a mulligan on it, he’s done.

The Dems have made their bed. Why should Hillary run in and save Fauxbama? She wants President not VP.. she’s quite happy to sit back, watch him crash and burn and then run virtually unopposed as the president. Let the anti-Hillary folks learn their lesson and come crawling back in 12.

There is no net gain for HillBilly to save Fauxbama.

Did you hear Rudy’s comments about Obama’s pick for VP.

Rudy said that, considering Obama’s pattern of changing his mind, Biden should get the VP offer in writing. ha!

Not a chance. Obama could no more drop Biden at this stage than McCain could drop Palin should some unforseen issue come up. For better or worse, both presidential candidates will rise or fall with their vice-presidential picks.

Too late. He’s stuck with a brainless, loudmouthed, plagarizing jackass who’s been in the Senate for 35 years. Plus, he’s stuck with Biden’s son and brother, who are currently being sued for fraud, and his daughter, who was arrested for assaulting a cop. So much for “change”.

One of the reasons Obama picked “President” Biden was because his (Obama’s)own résumé was so shallow in comparison to McCain’s... and now we know shallow in comparison to Palin’s experience/achievements also.

Obama needed someone to prop him up.

The solution would be to replace community “organizer” Obama...

Unfortunately for the rats... it’s too late!

Before leaving for work I saw Biden on CNN. For the umteenth time he repeated his canned response, “missing in her speech was health care, social security, education, etc.” BUT then after praising her delivery admitted he does not think he could win a debate against her. My jaw dropped.

Will Obama Dump Biden Off the Ticket?
September 4, 2008

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: We'll start in Memphis with Chris. Nice to have you.

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Mega US Air Force dittos to you. It's an honor.

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate that.

CALLER: Hey, I think we need to take a little bit of time here to thank Barack Obama for bringing about the change that we've been hoping for.

RUSH: (laughter)

CALLER: Had he picked Clinton, we would have Sarah Palin, and he may have single-handedly breathed 12 years of life into the conservative movement that he didn't intend to, which I think the irony is just beautiful.

RUSH: That's an interesting perspective you've got out there, Chris. I have to applaud you for that. Had he chosen Hillary, yeah, we'd have gotten Lieberman or somebody. You know what I think is funny? All these people talk about how long is it going to be before McCain has to dump her. You know, they're thinking about at the Obama campaign, "We gotta get Hillary on here somehow. We gotta." Believe me, when CNN starts asking people about it, a lot of other people are thinking about it besides CNN.

CALLER: Well, you know, I just additional I really appreciate him because him being a change agent like he is, you know, he just really...

RUSH: (laughing)

CALLER: He really did infuse a lot of change into this campaign. But my wife, she said she had to get a point in here, too. She said, "You know, the new face of conservatism might be wearing a skirt and makeup."

RUSH: (laughter) And lipstick!

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: All right, Chris. That's great. Obama: Finally, change we can believe in. (laughing) I just love turning all this back on these people. I loved Rudy Giuliani last night. Rudy was as good as I have heard him, and he had a smile on his face the whole time -- and his teleprompter screwed up. Rudy was fabulous last night. Fred Thompson was great. This thing has just exceeded everybody's expectations. Muskegan, Michigan. A sad day in Michigan today as the mayor of Detroit has had to quit. He's going to go to jail for 120 days and be fined some money, admitted to two felonies. So he's going to have to seek future elective office in Washington, perhaps as mayor there. Bob in Muskegan, welcome to the program.

CALLER: Mega Iraq war dittos, Rush.

RUSH: Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.

CALLER: I was calling because I watched the Palin speech, and it was magnificent. And the thing that's going to make, I think, surprise a lot of people is when the media goes after this woman because she dares to be a woman who is successful and is not a liberal. She's a feminist, but she's pro-life, pro gun. She has children. She loves her husband. I think John McCain won by putting her on the ticket.

RUSH: No question. There's another factor about her that you have to remember Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal pointed this out today. The one thing that will never be said of Sarah Palin is that she's a victim. Hillary Clinton makes herself a victim and tries to play on that. Other women, a lot of liberal feminism is based on victimhood. A lot of liberalism period is based on victimhood. Sarah Palin does not go into victim mode. In fact, she doesn't complain. She just doesn't seem to complain. Yep. She fights back, is the point. She doesn't take it. I'll tell you what, as a mother with five kids, she's not going to sit here and watch those kids be destroyed by these little gnats in the media.
