BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: There's talk about Bite Me being thrown off the ticket.
We've talked about this before. The news is that it's gonna be Hillary. They're gonna put Hillary on the ticket, that Clinton wants Hillary back on the ticket. Hillary's tired of not wearing makeup. She wants to wear makeup again, being on the ticket would mean makeup, hairstyling, all that kind of thing. The theory is that you get rid of Biden, you put Hillary on the ticket and you immediately take care of whatever erosion there has been from Obama on the female side. And don't doubt me. There has been some erosion on the female side in polling data for Obama. Hillary would take care of that. I, frankly, would not be bothered if they do this. I know a lot of people on my side of the aisle are still very much afraid of the Clintons. In fact, Romney is mentioning Clinton a lot now, and he's doing so in contrast to Obama. He's comparing Clinton, who was, by comparison, responsible in his spending and his budgeting and so forth.
It's pretty clever what Romney is doing. And Hillary on the ticket would explain Bill's sudden willingness to campaign for Obama. Clinton is out saying all kinds of things that are not helpful to Obama, but he is campaigning for him, which makes sense if there is a behind-the-scenes undercurrent, an attempt to get Hillary on the vice presidential ticket. So a lot of people on my side of the aisle still fear the Clintons just like they fear the Democrats in general. And I would like to offer a soothing note on this point. Hillary's numbers are at 65% right now, and this is one of the reasons Democrats are thinking Hillary might be a good addition to the ticket, and one of the reasons why Republicans are a little frightened of her.
But the reason she's at 65% is because she's not talking. I'm not trying to be funny, even though I'm one of the nation's most naturally funny people, not trying to be funny here. The fact of the matter is that if you go back and look, Mrs. Clinton's poll numbers go up or down in proportion to how much she says. The more she talks the lower her numbers go. The less she speaks, the higher her numbers go. Well, if she's put on the ticket, she's going to have to speak a lot. There's also the Michelle (My Belle) Obama factor if you put Hillary on the ticket. So it's not a done deal, but the undercurrent, maybe I should say the undertow because it involves Biden, is increasing in intensity, and the desire to get rid of Biden is becoming much more obvious.

Yep.
And at the very last possible second, too.
Either one of those two would kill if they felt they would garner some political gain. We might just be in for the old Mexican stand off.
I think she will take it, if offered.
She has been a good little suckbutt for Obama.
Not if he’s aware of all those cases of “Arkancide” back in the day...
He makes himself look weak. He’ll look like a real loser who can’t win on his own unless he puts her on the ticket.
not openly, but behind the scenes they might. However, I don’t see Obama giving up without a big fight.
Scares the crap out of me..because it could work...even if the worst President this country has EVER seen is at the top of the ticket.
If it did happen, I agree that it would be at the last minute. Nothing would surprise me with the democrats.
DUMP ROMNEY and replace him with a stellar Dark Horse.
IF Romney is probably going to lose to Obama, THEN it is incumbent upon the RNC to intervene and declare an OPEN Convention, regardless of the Primary delegates that Romney has.
Continued accumulation of Primary delegates in the remaining State Primaries is the key to improving Pauls chances of forcing the GOP-E to hold an OPEN Convention in Tampa.
Paul will then have completed his main task in this Primary: giving the delegates the freedom to DUMP ROMNEY!
My goal is to defeat the insanity of Keyensian Economics in both of our very sorry political parties THIS YEAR!
This can be accomplished by the Delegates choosing a stellar Dark Horse Nominee, such as R-Rep. Allen West of Florida, to slaughter Obama in a November Landslide.
It is not enough to beat Obama, he must be smashed in a huge landslide to repudiate his Marxist ideas for America!
Romney is not Warrior enough to do so.
The key is to FORCE the GOP-E to allow for an OPEN Convention in Tampa. Without an OPEN Convention the SOS of INSANE Federal Over-Spending will keep America on the same crowded track with Greece, and Kalifornia.
There are over 15, 000, 000, 000, 000 reasons why spending more money this year than was taken in during the previous year is an INSANE path to financial destruction.
Neither Obama or Romney have presented a plan to spend our Federal dollars in a non-insane manner.
For example, the GOP Elite have stood in line to endorse Romney, to endorse The Ryan Budget, and to compromise-away every opportunity to reduce Federal Spending.
I included the Ryan Budget, because Rep. Paul Ryan himself says that his Budget will balance in 30 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, I added those exclamation points, because both you and I know that Ryans budget will NEVER balance, and thus will never be a fact. The exclamation points are just for volume emphasis.
______________________
The main point of my post is as follows: In order to DUMP ROMNEY there must be an OPEN, or Bartered Convention.
Ron Paul, Santorum and Newt are our best hopes to achieve an OPEN Convention because they have the most Delegates to force the Romney Delegates to approve of an OPEN Convention.
Since RP is the only active Candidate left standing, he has the best chance of forcing the RNC to have an OPEN Convention in Tampa.
With an OPEN Convention, NONE of the Primary Candidates stand a chance of becoming the Nominee, except Romney.
That possibility must be countered by a stellar Dark Horse, that is someone that has not run in this years Primary Campaign.
Otherwise Romney will follow the same stupid path as McCain and lose to Obama much to the surprise of the GOP-E.
Ron Paul, Santorum and Newt were rejected by Primary voters, and would be re-soundly rejected by the voters in the National Election. Thus, their main value is to force an OPEN Convention.
The Convention Delegates then would have a chance to choose a Nominee who could easily defeat Obama.
I had earlier supported R-Sc Sen. Jim DeMint, but he will not leave the Senate. Now I support R-Fla. Rep. Allen West. Rep. Allen West is a retired US Army Colonel, straight-talking Conservative, AND is the only non-welcome member of the Congressional Black Caucus, (the Libs hate him).
There are many other Republican non-RINO Dark Horses who would make excellent Dark Horse Nominees.
The DUMP ROMNEY Campaign requires an OPEN or Bartered Convention in Tampa.
Make your voice and vote count towards an OPEN Convention in Tampa, Florida!
BTW, Nominee Allen West WOULD be Floridas favorite son in November - - - .

Lessee now, Hillary’s sixty-six now, not getting any younger. She waits until 2016 she’ll be older than Ronald Reagan was at his first term. But the last incumbent prez who dumped his VP was Roosevelt in 1944. The last candidate to dump his runnning mate was McGovern in 1972 (”I am behind Tom Eagleton one thousand percent!”).
Barry won’t do it because the idiot Joe Bite Me makes Barry look intelligent. He’s too arrogant as well. George W. Bush showed class when he chose Dick Cheney, who was instantly perceived as a VP who could competently assume the Presidency if the need arose. Dubya’s ego wasn’t threatened by Cheney’s gravitas. Not true with this clown.
Scares the crap out of me..because it could work..
Robert Mugabe II and Madame Mao II in 2012! A winning combination!
Not weak, just reality. Understand your point, but many people will vote for him no matter who is VP, HC might even bring in more than are driven away. Like it or not, not all voters pay attention.
There's a lot to that line of thinking. I'll bet if she were tapped to replace Biden real news of Obama's past would start leaking out daily. All of the sudden, the media sources that go out of their way to protect him would be open to "unnamed sources" from all over the place.
I really think Rush is just phoning it in these days. If he can’t see the deadly dynamics that would be unleashed between Team Obama and Team Clinton were they to pair up like this, then he truly hasn’t been paying attention in a very long time.
There was a power struggle in the Democrat party in the 2008 election between the old guard and the new. The old guard were skillful and crafty, but they were from a more idealistic, tie-dyed era. The new guard are hip, urban, and as ruthless as the Crips. They’re in sync with real terrorists, despots, and violent radicals around the world. The old guard isn’t, although they feign admiration for them.
If Obama’s going to dump Biden for a running mate who can excite his base, it sure as hell won’t be yesterday’s worn out, washed up, hippie dippy coat-tail rider, Hillary. It will be some new, fresh face from the new guard.
Hillary also comes with far too many negatives for Barry to seriously consider her for replacement VP. Just the personality conflicts alone, take her off the list, and let’s not even mention the Mooch Dilemma. You think Hillary’s going to willingly sign up for that abuse? Do you think Mooch would even allow it? I don’t.
Then there’s Hillary’s overall demeanor. She’s consciously begun ‘letting it all hang out’ over the last two years. Any astute observer would conclude that she’s given up any pretense of being a real player any longer, and is just running out the clock until she can retire from the game forever. She’s even said on record that she’s not interested in seeking higher office after her current hitch. On more than one occasion, I might add.
I could be wrong, but I think all this fevered speculation about Hillary jumping back into the big game, is just that. Fevered speculation, based upon little evidence.
