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)...

When Hillary wears a dress, it’s going to have to be a Moo-moo.

I do not think this will happen.
Clinton has refused to campaign for obamma this year and said she would not.
And second, her husband reportily wanted her run against obamma in a primary race this year.
That being said, I look for obamma to possibly replaced Biden this year on the ticket. Biden has foot-in-mouth disease, not only that, he is truly nutty.

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.

My solution: Lock 'em all in a room with one loaded pistol.

Then shoot whoever comes out.

Palin would energize Romney’s campaign, just like she did McCain’s. She’s the perfect complement to Romney’s moderation.

Come on.

Romney, working remotely and deniably through his sooty-hearted "Children of the Corn" staffers whom he "lent out" to McCain, backbit, backstabbed, burned and stuck envenomed needles in Sarah Palin for three long years, R-Money's white horse's path to make straight. And now she's going to come because he crooks his finger?

She won't run with R-Money, not now, not ever. He's poison.

I have reminded some Hillary supporters of the Bosnia sniper and assassinationgate. They didn't have answers, but shrugged it off. I had the impression this was not enough to stop them from voting for her. That's why I believe we need to take on "Clinton's economy" head on, because that's what she and the Dems will lean on.

Yep, and the press is beginning to fall in line. Looking in today's local rag, an article from Gannett by Richard Long saying the Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton is being lauded for her work and influence in renewing friendships in India. Vintage HIllary. Cinton's Global Reach. Part tough talking diplomat, Part back-patting politician.

What a suck up puff piece. I actually threw up a little in my mouth...
