Hillary Clinton will be the 2012 veep candidate
The Washington Times ^ | May 20, 2012 | Joseph Curl

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)...

Scares the crap out of me....because it could work. A demoralized party and all those disaffected Hillary supporters will come charging back. And Mittens would get steamrolled. Putting off any substantial home improvements and other big expenditures until after November 6th. If he’s re-elected, we as a country are toast.

The country is lost if this happens. They are the same.

“Run Sarah Palin in opposition.

Just saying.

So very wrong. Run Condelezza Rice in opposition.

Why do you think Hillary would add anything to the Democrat ticket?

She is ancient, and I do mean ancient history.

I thought in 2008 that the selection of Biden would sink the Obama candidacy. I was wrong then, but Crazy Joe, who knows lots of things that just aren’t so” is still a very, very weak partner for Obama.

Understatement of the year.

Doesn’t matter, they are both useless marxist morons, and one of them is really, really ugly, while the other is just incredibly dumb and has funny looking hair.

No one is running back to the Democrats to get Obama reelected.

His problem isn't with the hard core Democrats, his problem is with Independents and they aren't to care about Hillary.

Works just as well for me!!

Palin would be my first choice, but I've long believed in Rice.

Before you print up bumper stickers though, her name is spelled Condoleezza.

:D

No way!

If she thought she had the slightest chance of being on the ticket, she would not have “let herself go”! It is my contention that she has no further plans to run for public office, so she is free to be herself, which is a radical feminist, marxist, and child of the sixties.

I bet that the Obama’s and the Clinton’s can’t stand to be in the same room together.

Thank God she does not want it. If she did, we would lose and lose big. Democrats would be enthusiastic again. It would be the biggest disaster for Republicans ever. I am glad that she will NOT do this.

The Shakedown Central Committee is behind the Massachusetts Mandate-Man. So she’d only agree to run with Mandate-Mitt, as part of the Phony-Party facade.

Obama can’t dump Biden. Beau Biden has Obama by the short hairs.

I'm not so sure it would be that easy to get rid of Biden. It all depends on why Biden was chosen the first time and I think it was blackmail. If he was able to blackmail Obama the first time around he would still be able to this time.

Why do you think Hillary would add anything to the Democrat ticket?

She would add the memory of "Clinton's economy" and "the peace and prosperity of the Clinton years" to the ticket. I understand you would never go for that, and neither would I, but many would. Accept it or not, the Clintons are still popular. It wouldn't matter if she doesn't add anything of substance to the ticket, because the "promise" of another Clinton in the White House might be enough.

It could work for them, if we don't have answers to "Clinton's economy" ready.
