Show of hands: Who here still thinks Vice President Joseph R. Biden will be on the 2012 ticket?
Really? All of you? So wrong. The Great One, Sir Barack Hussein Obama, will replace the bumbling, buffoonish Mr. Biden with Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, maybe at the Democratic convention, maybe just before, in a last-ditch effort to win re-election.
The wild and crazy move is all the talk outside the Beltway. One state Democratic leader even tells me the bumper stickers are already printed, sitting in a warehouse in (where else?) Little Rock, Ark. Another party bigwig says she is “99.9 percent sure” the increasingly desperate president planned the whole thing from the beginning. (“C’mon, Hill, be Secretary of State for one term and I’ll make you veep the next!”)
Step back a minute: What does the president get from keeping Punxsutawney Putz on the ticket? Zippy the chimp. But if he bails on Mr. Biden, picks a woman — bam, base enthusiasm goes through the roof, women come out of the woodwork to vote (for Mrs. Clinton, not for Mr. Obama), and it’s 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. for another four years. (Plus, Joe becomes Secretary of State, because, really now, he wouldn’t know what to do if he wasn’t living off the government teat, would he?)
Back to the president’s desperation. As The Washington Times laid out last week, Mr. Obama’s re-election is no lock. “Many models show President Obama with a likely base of 252 electoral votes out of the 270 needed to win,” the paper said. Nice lead. He’s got a hold of the West Coast, the Northeast minus New Hampshire, plus most likely Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Hawaii (although some of those are still considered in play)...

Saul Alinsky won't let this crisis go waste.
Run Sarah Palin in opposition.
Just saying.
And they thought Sarah Palin was polarizing!
nope.....
Inauguration pre-party @ Fort Marcy park.
She’s not going down on a sinking ship with a Captain she can’t trust.
Agreed. (Not that there were bristles on that leftist broom anyhow; more like rotted twigs.)
The most dangerous place on planet Earth would be between Hillary and one heartbeat away from the presidency.
Michelle won’t allow it, read The Amateur.

If anything, I think it more likely that 0bama resigns for ‘health reasons’, Stand Up Joe is sworn in, and HE picks Hillary for VP at the convention.
Don’t let crazy Joe fool ya, he may be the master of the faux pas, but he is a political street fighter that takes no back seat to anybody, not even the Clintons.
Biden was given the position to keep him quiet, he didn't want Obama for the candidate...said he "wasn't ready." They promised Biden the VP position to shut him up. Obama never really cared to consult with or give any importance to Biden. He was left to flounder and make a fool of himself. So...this time why bother to have a VP at all? I just wouldn't be surprised if the Narcissist Occupier of the WH wants to change the rules. Dictators don't have and don't want a "spare." If Obama wants to do this, he will find a way around the requirements for a VP. Just like he has gone around Congress so many times during his tenure.
the commie obama played the race card on the first black president, and now the black first guy will play the usurper card on the first homo-usurper commie guy.
Agreed. Tho she may be pushing for it. Just about theb only thing bho could do to lower his chances would be Hillary on the ticket. Not after the last 4 years of foreign policy muck-ups. He may replace Biden but with sonmeone attractive to voters.
Or Natural causes.
Moochelle’s not going to like it.
