Obama Has Plenty of Time to Drop Biden
Weeklystandard.com ^

Posted on 08/15/2012 9:52:22 AM PDT by Perdogg

President Barack Obama has slightly more than 22 days to drop Vice Presidential Joe Biden from the 2012 Democratic presidential ticket, according to lawyers familiar with the party nominating process. That is, Democrats have until September 6 to formally nominate their presidential ticket which will then be qualified for the 50 state ballots

why did he chose him in 2008?

You can figure this out...

A STRONG leader needs STRONG minds around him.

A WEAK leader needs .....

I don’t see how it hurts her if they win reelection. She would then run in 2016 (presumably she’s going to run then regardless) as the incumbent VP and “heiress apparent”. It hurts her if they lose but not if they win IMO.

If the Democrats were going to dump Biden, they would have done so by now (I'll bet, however, in hindsight, they wish they had.) To get rid of him at this late stage in the campaign would be seen as an act of sheer desperation by a campaign that knows it's in big trouble. I think the Obama team will stay the course, but try to limit Biden’s exposure from this point forward.

I was listening to John Gambling on the radio this morning and he was talking to a newspaper columnist who was talking about how Joe Biden has had two aneurisms and he thinks it has affected his brain. He was also saying Biden should step down (I think the columnist was Michael Goodwin, but I’m not sure).

Seems like the stage is being set.

[more than 22 days to drop Vice Presidential Joe Biden]

Think of those banners, posters and bumper stickers etc they would have to have done, can that be done in time?

It would be cutting it pretty close.

My theory at the time was the reason Obama picked Biden was the Russian invasion of Georgia—he suddenly thought he needed someone with some foreign policy credentials on the ticket. (Of course Biden had a history of being wrong on foreign policy pretty much all of the time, but that’s not how it appeared to Democrats.) So it was Putin’s fault.

Hitlery, who’s been having lots of spackle and putty jobs on her face these past few years will ride to the rescue of the ticket.

You obviously haven't seen any recent pictures. Hillary has simply "stopped giving a d@mn about her personal appearance."

Obama’s instinct for self-preservation is too keen for him to pick Hillary as VP. He knows she'd destroy him in a heartbeat to get to presidency.

She is beyond disgusting these days. Greasy hair, canvas dresses, fat hanging from her jowls like a harvest sow.

Inept, imperious, clueless, disgusting.

“Biden may be the only Democrat that’s dumber the Obama.”

Bingo! that’s how he ended up on the ticket in the first place.

Obama is a drag to Obama, Biden is irrelevant.

I don’t see how it hurts her if they win reelection.

If Obama wins, after 4 years anybody connected to the Regime will be radioactive.

Because then Biden can beg off the ticket, apologize for being the crazy uncle in the attic.

Ding-ding-ding! Winner!

Dems suddenly decided they need a worthy opponent to debate Ryan, and arranged for Slow Joe to eliminate himself.

You all are thinking too small here. Ever see the movie “Dave”? Here’s how I’d do it:

Biden sets himself up to take a beating from Ryan in the debate, then fakes a stroke on-stage. Instant sympathy and the ability to blame a callous and meanspirated Ryan while also allowing replacement on the ticket.

I drop Joe Biden every morning. But Barry can’t. Really, he can’t. I mean, technically, legally, he could. But as a practical political and personal matter, he can’t.

The posts I have read on here say that HRC would not want to attach her name to BHO and a potentially losing ticket.

Hillary is nothing if not a political animal. If the Democrats want her to run, she'll run.

I think all Romeny has to do is to show up at the debates and convention and not drool on himself and he will be elected President.
