It is not game over.

You have to understand what a winning campaign means. It means you are set for life. If you are a senior campaign staffer and you win, you’re going to assistant secretary of commerce for whatever specialty for two or three years and from there you will be hired as either a lobbyist at $450,000/yr or a VP for some relevant company at $450,000/yr plus stock options.

That’s what victory means to a campaign staff. They will be set FOR LIFE.

And so . . . they aren’t going to let it happen. Dumping Biden and getting Hillary will happen or not happen depending on one thing and one thing only . . . do the internal polls show it helps.

Principle means nothing. It’s a lifetime of luxury if you win vs . . . looking for work in a cubicle. McCain must NOT build a big lead. A small lead lets them imagine they should not take the Hillary risk.

You sound like you know what you are talking about but seriously, if Obama dumps Biden when he’s already clearly behind couldn’t he lose both houses for the D’s?

Yes, but dumping Biden would be a major admission of a BIG mistake... something that Obama cannot bring himself to do!!

They can’t dump Biden. He was the one nominated and is on the ballot. That’s all there is to it.
