As President Obama sinks in the polls, Democrats and liberal pundits inevitably are searching for a scapegoat. The most likely victim appears to be gaffe-prone Vice President Joe Biden, who has become the focus of speculation that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just might replace him on the 2012 Democratic ticket.
Former Virginia Gov. Doug Wilder, his state's first African-American governor, touched off the controversy. Writing at Politico.com last week, Mr. Wilder argued that Mr. Biden's tenure has been undistinguished and chock full of "too many YouTube moments." He charged that Mr. Biden "has continued to undermine what little confidence the public may have had in him."....

The Veep rarely matters much.
The final chess-piece clicks into place.
Ain’t gonna happen. Hillary WANTS the Top Spot!
Heck, if I were His Highness I’d be wearing the kevlar vest full time, just waiting for the stiletto in the back. Mrs. Clinton is very bright, but dangerous as hell.
Colonel, USAFR
Glen Beck was predicting Obama as a one termer with Hillary stepping in and in comparison looking like Ronald Reagan. Oy!
I think this is likely strategy and fairly good one for Obama. The talking point from Journolist/StateMedia would be that this would be a new ticket and CHANGE. “Dream ticket” would probably the term Journolist were to distribute.
Hillary is much more popular than Obama.
As Obama continues down the road of irrelevancy, I suspect the Clinton machine will be in full campaign mode by 2011.
Hillary will be the Ted Kennedy to Obama’s James Earl Carter in a sequel to 1979-1980.
She’s old, ugly, and has a fat ass. Airforce one would have to be retrofitted to haul that carcass around, and I don’t think we have the money.
Bambi would need more food tasters.
I don’t think Hillary would accept this. If Obama’s ratings fall below 40, she will challenge him in the 2012 primary for the top spot.
EXACTLY.
Besides, “Plugs” is a comic relief to Obama’s very depressing anti-American agenda.
Have you looked at the back side of the first lady lately and she seems to fit in on AF One.
It would be a disaster to have Hillary as VP. The Clintons have been in power too long. Strange that will all the Clintons grasp for power, Chelsea married into by far not the best of families.
0bama won’t make Hillary his VP. The last thing he wants is to have to hire professional food tasters and to always watch his back.
As I've been saying for many years, I'm worried about VICE President Clinton.
Think of it:
• Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
• Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
• The Glorious Hillary!™ Decade begins
• Hillary uses the Patriot Act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
• At the end of the Glorious Hillary!™ Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
• Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 1st, 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed
• By the time the National Emergency is over all the 'improved' source code for the touch screen electronic balloting will be in place......
Just as an aside, with the Clinton's well known love of 'ethnics', Obama is very expendable, isn't he?
HRC as VP might be the only component that can save a 2nd term for TPOTOS - after which, with all that foreign policy experience - she will be unbeatable in 2016.
And...the Journ0listers will owe HRC big time!
D*mn they plan ahead!!!!!
