I have read that “O” has 22 days to get rid of Biden... so if the drop-dead date is that close, it will certainly get interesting here, pretty soon.
“O” could still drop Joe on some pretext or other... but NOW it would look VERY contrived!
Joe is a boat anchor around “O’s” neck... and “O” ain’t doin so hot anway!! :)
I still think Biden will come down with a serious medical issue and won’t be able to run. obammma won’t ask Hillary, who would be acceptable, his wife, jessie jackson, anyone from msnbc, Romney’s dog?
First there is the Torricelli Maneuver, where an embarrassing Democrat can be replaced on the ballot in violation of election laws. Second, since the Electoral College does the actual voting it doesn't matter who is on the ballot. If Slow Joe is replaced in October and there isn't time to change the ballots, Obama can still run with someone else and let the Dem electors vote for the new VP candidate. Even states with laws requiring electors vote for who they were told to vote for might not apply if the candidate is no longer running and they would only be able to apply punishments after the fact anyway.
