But... if the SCOTUS declares Barry ineligible due to the Natural Born Citizen issue, then McCain is President. This will set off an obvious fire storm. The Democratic Senate will have to approve any VP selection (remember when Nixon selected Ford after Agnew resigned?). The Senate will only approve a Democrat because the won the popular vote. This situation has happened in the past where we had a president from one party and a VP from the other so its no constitutional issue.
Hillary is now positioned to be S of S (fourth in line) but she can't get that appointment until Barry is sworn in. That won't happen so McCain is forced to select Hillary. McCain won't pick Pelosi or Ried because CLintons have it worked out with McCain. Only Hillary can keep the Democrats from exploding. Biden gets to keep his safe senate seat (whew, hey Joe?)
mCain is a one termer because of his age. Hillery gets the White House in 2012 Palin is toast here. They knew about Barry's situation before the election. I think that's why McCain's people started to push Palin away right after the election. All is fair in love and war.
So... its McCain/Hillery and McCain has always been very accommodating to Hillary so this Grand Coalition is the best thing the establishment can do to ward of the expected civil commotion. Most of Hillery's people are in place. Sec. Gage will work well with McCain and Hillery will be very active in international issues, as will McCain.
Bush and everyone else has been super accommodating to Barry so as not to look like conspirators. But, they all know he's getting the boot.
Michelle is invisible. I think she knows what's coming down and she's withdrawing. The MSM is now starting to write about the birth certificate issue. Ready to blame the right wing kooks if Barry is booted.
It is all starting to make sense. Pay attention on December 5th.
And to be fair, I'm not that thrilled about McCain but that in itself is another issue entirely.
holy crap, batman. that makes sense.
This is a great theory and it really ties up the loose ends.
However, it begs the question as to why the DNC would promote a Presidential candidate they knew from the beginning was Constitutionally ineligible.
The article below supports your statement.

While many Democrats hope that Obama will reassure them once he gets into office, Jodie Evans, a well-known activist, told the Politico website last week that the president-elect was already “violating the people’s mandate”. Nor have Democrats been encouraged by Republican applause for the president-elect’s appointments. Max Boot, a foreign policy adviser to Senator John McCain, said last week he had previously been sceptical of Obama’s “moderate posturing”, but had been “gob-smacked” by an Obama team that was “stunning in its moderation”. Boot added: “Most of these appointments could just as easily have come from a President McCain.” (emphasis mine)
Joseph Lieberman, the conservative Democrat from Connecticut who infuriated his party colleagues by sharply criticising Obama and supporting McCain for president, last week apologised and declared that Obama’s actions had been “just about perfect”.
Most dispiriting of all for devotees of Obama’s mantra of “change” was a qualified thumbs up from Karl Rove, the Machiavellian mastermind behind Bush’s election victories. Rove declared that Obama’s economic team was “reassuring”, and that “he has generally surrounded himself with intelligent mainstream advisers”. One Democratic strategist noted, not entirely facetiously: “If Rove likes us, we must be in trouble.”

April....you’re having a DREAM!! Wake up! NO ONE...NONE...NADA....not the Supremes... not ANYONE is going to disqualify Obama....he’s a BLACK man and cities would burn and people would be KILLED.
Wow. . .
You need your own PoliBlog.
However, I dissent with you on Palin’s ability to unseat Hillary if McCain steps aside in 2011. If McCain goes in, then implements liberal policy and then decides to run again, he will be strongly challenged by conservatives in the primaries like Palin, etal. Never again will we be saddled by the results of democrat-lite policies as we have been by W.
Ping me with any more of your enlightening ruminations.

April...IMHO...Hillary finally got a copy of his birth certificate....
“But Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton hugged, kissed and joined forces in Orlando last night to launch a concerted three-day push to win over undecided voters in the key swing state.....”

but probably not until October!
Wow. I’ll have whatever you’re having!
If Juan McCain didn’t pick Sarah there will be a firestorm.
