My dear Freepers....
Palin’s suggestion is the fresh version of Limbaugh’s famed OPERATION CHAOS.
Funny stuff.
If O's handlers actually decide to do this, the DNC press organs will suddenly about-face and tell us what a genius move this is.
Srah Palin, and now McCain have inoculated the race against the entry of Mrs.Bill as the kenyan’s VP. I suspect that was the goal.
I just love how someone they dismiss as stupid and irrelevant can give them all a collective seizure without raising a sweat. This one is a classic: “If Sarah Palin says it’s good for the Democrats, it isn’t.” There’s some in-depth analysis for you. Maybe she should tell them to vote for 0bama.
The great Gov. Palin short circuited Obama and the left. By calling out for Obama to do this, she increased the odds that it would not be done.
I would never want to play her in poker.
Biden is a substantial idiot. That’s why Obama picked him. Call it insurance, or call it racial balance. Either way, Obama has his white, court jester. That doesn’t mean he has to keep him, especially when his fool is costing him votes. There are plenty of slow-witted, white idiots in the Democratic Party. My advise to Obama is to drop Biden, and pick a Hispanic. He should keep Hillary as his incompetent Secretary of State. Then we can say Rainbow is the new Red, although gay is getting pinkish Red, so maybe he should pick a gay Hispanic, with a Hindu background. Obama’s supporters could be called the pinko coalition.
Sarah Palin got em with the ol’ “George Costanza” OPPOSITE strategy
(In one episode of Seinfeld, George decides that every decision he has made in his life has been wrong, so determines to do the opposite of what he thinks he ought to do...and starts experiencing success)
So if Sarah told them they should nominate Hillary - she knew they would do the opposite

Picking Biden was a mistake in the first place, and would have been a mistake whoever McCain picked for his running mate. Sarah just made it a lot more painfully obvious. But once picked, they weren’t going to drop him during the last campaign, they weren’t going to drop him once he got elected, and they’re not going to do it now. Not unless he has an incapacitating stroke or something. And even then, they might do a “Weekend At Bernie’s” campaign with him. Stroke-muted Joe might actually be a safer bet for them than healthy Joe. But short of that, it’s not happening. It was a dead idea from the beginning. Palin and Mav just helped made it double-dog dead or maybe triple-dog dead. I’m surprised the administration bothered to make any answer other than laugh. I figured they were smarter than that.
And even if they did swap out Joe for Hillary (again, they’re not, but just for Joe’s brains and giggles, if they did) they’d just be trading one set of problems for another. Actually, two sets, hers and Bill’s. And on her own merits, rather than on the basis of being the candidate’s/Attorney General’s/Governor’s/President’s wife, she’s really not all that. She’s not as astute, politically or otherwise, as her formerly adoring press would have indicated. She’s not that compelling of a stump speaker. She’s not all that endearing a retail politician (that’s Bubba, not her). She’s not even all that physically attractive (oh, did I go there? yeah, I did). Other than that, she’s a great VP pick. Long story short, that swap either has no effect on the Obama campaign, or hurts it even more than Joe did.
