If the polls don’t improve, there a switch would not surprise me at all. Some lame excuse will surface, so it will seem like Biden’s fault, not Obama’s. The fly in the ointment? Hillary may just leave Change-boy twisting in the wind. At this stage, she might rather see him destroyed and pick up the pieces in 2012, with 4 years for her & Bill to say I told ya so.
And, yes, a switch at this stage would look like pandering to the extreme and cast lots of doubt on Obama’s judgement.

Why would not Hillary have the leverage to ask for the top spot?
=)
If Biden steps down it will be for “health reasons”.
Of course, then he would have to explain why he’s keeping his Senate seat....
Yeah, I think Hillary has much bigger and faster ideas. Her fundraising friend in Philadelphia, lawyer Philip Berg, is getting very little press on his legal challenge to Obama’s Constitutional eligibility to run for President, but that little gambit is chugging along very nicely. Something is afoot.
