So despite tepid assurances by the Obama camp today that Biden is still on the ticket, I'm thinking that they are putting Biden on ice for now and are putting together a secret committee to vet another running mate. They only have about three weeks to make their move.
I don't think it will be Hillary. She'd be a fool to take it and if she did take it, I don't think she'll help the ticket as much as some here seem to think she will. Also, with the size of Obama's ego, do you think he'd really select somebody that will take all the attention away from him? He'd also need to hire a full time food taster and double his Secret Service detail.
Obama will likely select an adult that is not slobbering all over himself like Biden but not somebody who is overly smart or telegenic who will upstage him. He'll go with a boring, safe pick who won't upstage or embarrass him. Somebody like Mike Beebe of Arkansas.
Let’s predict what the reason will be for Biden’s untimely exit:
1. Spend more time with the family.
2. Prostate cancer.
3.
4.
5.
The media would be too busy grovelling to ask them anything.
