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)...

If that was to happen we then have to remind everybody that she holds the very same views as Obama, her Supreme Court picks would be the same, they both support infanticide at every level, they are both NON Christian

“Biden was given the position to keep him quiet, he didn’t want Obama for the candidate...said he “wasn’t ready.” “

Biden was given the position because he was 1) white, 2) male, and 3) Catholic.

Worked on all fronts; don;t think it will work on any of them this time around.

It makes sense to the extent that Biden has no constituency and would have 0 chance of being elected president in 2016.

He’d be more likely to run with Ru Paul.

If it happens, he wins. It’s his Sarah Palin, on the left, of course.

If the ship is sinking that badly, she will run, not walk, away from it. She is so much smarter than him.

biden was “chosen” last time because he was the only one dumb enough to run with zero. No way the beast is dumb enough to make the same mistake as middle-class slow.

I just had a horrible thought !

What if he dumps Biden for Hitlery and then at the Convention, Biden attacks him and beats him to death with the podium, and the Secret Service shoots and kills Biden to stop the beating ?

What would happen then ?? Other than Boehner being POTUS for the remainder of Zero’s term, I mean.

“Michelle won’t allow it...” EXACTLY. Otherwise, it probably would happen for two reasons:

1. If Obama loses, all the Dems could say it was all because of Obama in ‘16 and that Hilary is the perfect candidate;

2. If Obama wins, and has another inevitable disastrous 4 years, the only Dem candidate who could say, “If I were in charge, I would have done it completely differently” would be Hilary - and she’d be set up perfectly better than anyone else in ‘16.....

If O’Bozo is running too far back in the polls after the Democrat Convention I expect Biden to have a major medical problem, like a stroke or heart attack.

He will then withdraw for medical reasons and Hillary will selflessly sacrifice and step into the breach.

Hillary will be the Democrats candidate for president-—When they dump Obama or put him aside in some way. That’s what I have been predicting for years! She will be selected at the convention and “reluctantly” serve for the good of the party. The only question I have is who she will pick for VP? The only question is HOW will they get Obama and Michele out of the White House? Look for this sign—when Hillary starts to wear a dress—watch out!

Obama has doomed himself—he even said if he couldn’t fix the nation in four years he should be a one term President—he will get his wish—BUT Do the Democrats want to go down to flaming defeat? they are a practicably guided lot (unlike idealistic purists on the right) who will do any dirty deal to keep the power in the party-—I believe they will set Obama aside when the polls show him as a loser—They will tell him to resign or they will leak scandal data to the GOP. Look to see the next 7 months as the wildest, most dramatic in US History—2013 will be nothing like 2012.

Go ahead and do the home improvements. If the country goes down you’ll at least have a decent place to hunker down. And you won’t have to worry about paying for it. Nobody will have any money so nobody will be paying.

Whenever someone suggests Hilary as a candidate, I remind them theat she stole the White House china when they left the People’s House the first time.

If she joins the ticket, I’ll begin to remind them of some of the details from Gary Aldrich’s book, especially including security breaches and their ideas for appropriate Christmas tree decorations.

The true believers on the left seem to think she has beena good SoS; but every time I ask for examples, they dummy up...
