What would be the consequences if Obama tried to replace Biden with a woman?

I am not sure if intrading is trading on the Proposition that Obama drops Biden for Clinton or Sibelius, but what would be the political consequences if he were to attempt to do it?

Could he actually do it and get away with it?

Or with Hillary?

He’d look like a fool and a panderer.

Political suicide. It would be viewed as a desperation move.

I like it.....

For the MSM it would be “Change we will believe in”

That would effectively be the end of the election for Obama. He can’t give people the impression that he couldn’t he even get his decision on a running mate in the correct column. It would be too late, and the hope of getting a new pick out into the public eye would be massively shrouded by the story of Biden getting dropped.

Put it this way, if he dumps Biden, he’s telling the country, “I think I’m going to lose”, and, frankly, people don’t vote for losers.

I think it would look to the people that he was in a panic and he would only do it to win, not to do the right thing. I also believe that his wife stopped him from appointing Hillary. They hate each other.

Like Rudy said, “Fitty Watt” Biden needs to get the Veep offer in writing.

He could try. The media would applaud it. As things stand, he's toast. Pumpernickel.

When you have Obama on the ticket, why would you need another girl?

I think it is more likely that Biden replaces Obama with a woman...

He could get away with it with his acolytes and disciples.

That includes the MSM.

But not with anyone outside that group.

That dog would not hunt.

And that pig would not oink.

Had he chosen a more inspiring running mate, it would have partially blunted the impact of the Palin nomination. However, it's way too late now. If he did this, he would look like an opportunistic flake.
