On Michael Medved show, Biden said Hillary Clinton may be more qualified than him to be VP, and might have been a better pick than him.
Underestimating her is Obama’s biggest gaffe. And her supporters are clueless as well.
Not a bad tactic, believable and maybe even true.

Actually Rush called this last week. Rush is a seer or something.
It's not just Rush. There's been several vanity posts lately about the idea of Biden stepping down.
Here’s the plan. Hillary takes over for Biden then Obama discovers some overriding need to step down in favor of Clinton. She picks Nancy Pelosi as a running mate and Murtha takes over as majority leader. Obama gets the Ambassador job to Kenya. You heard it here first! ;^)
Remember, only a few weeks ago, he was touting his ability to run a successful campaign as one of his strong qualifications for the presidency.
.
You forgot Cindy Sheehan being named Secretary of State and Al Sharpton as Secretary of HUD.
I’ll go one furthur and say if Biden stepped down and Clinton stepped up, the majjority of the dems would actually breathe a sigh of relief. Their ticket has been screwed up ever since Obama picked Biden and they would think all was right in their world again.
It’s not likely that Obama would make the switcheroo. He can leave that to someone else; say, Biden himself.
This is much ado about nothing. This is Biden pandering to women - that’s all. There is no switcheroo coming. Sheesh.
Let see...In the past twenty-four hours:
Obama calls Palin a pig.
Biden tells a guy in a wheelchair to stand up and take a bow.
Biden tells an audience that Hillary would have been a better VP pick than him.
South Carolina Dem chairperson says that Palin’s only qualification for VP is that she’s never had an abortion.
Sounds like a pretty well run campaign to me.
I’m impressed - guess that community organization training was a little light in the organization part - huh Barry.
Of course you know the media will spin it that it wasn’t Obamas’ fault and the Republicans are just attacking Obama. I actually heard them calling McCains ad about Lipstickgate an attack ad against Obama.
No way does Biden step down. No way. Not even for Hillary. This is like a Fortune 500 company dropping their CFO before earnings are released. Shareholders run for the hills. Voters would do the same, here.
First and foremost, Obama would be admitting he couldn’t even make a wise decision when picking a running mate.
Secondly, Biden dropping now would send the message he’s afraid to debate Palin. I don’t think his ego would allow that.
Thirdly, it’s too late and, frankly, holding up Hillary to Sarah would be a disaster for the Democrats. All Sarah Palin would do is magnify the hideous personality and political acumen of Hillary Clinton.
Fourthly, what’s worse than one egomaniac on the Dem ticket? Answer, TWO egomaniacs! Independents would move en masse to McCain. Big loser: Obama. Big winner: McCain.
My guess is that Obama and co. are trying to shift media focus away from McCain by stirring the pot a little here. I don’t think they have any intention of dropping Biden from the ticket. If they want that, they may as well save the rest of their campaign money and forfeit right now.
No, this is just trying to create headlines and intrigue where none should exist. I think Rush is flat wrong on this.
I don't think so. Unless they do something really bad to Sarah.
Why not? John Edwards told us that Democrats would have gotten Christopher Reeve out of his wheelchair.
