Will Sen. Joe Biden be dropped from the Democratic Party ticket before Election Day?
Television pundits, talk radio personalities and blogs have been buzzing with speculation about a last-minute VP switch for the party.
On Fox's "Hannity & Colmes" last night, Sean Hannity asked Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., "Will they replace Biden with Hillary?"
Rendell replied, "No, absolutely not. Joe Biden is here to stay. Next vice president of the United States."
However, according to recent polls, Biden's popularity is not as high as Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Results from a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. national survey released yesterday have Obama and McCain virtually tied – Obama has 49 percent while McCain has 48 percent. But Sarah Palin has surged ahead of Biden on popularity with 55 percent to his 44 percent. Her favorability rating is also 6 percent higher.
Following Sen. Joe Biden's recent statement that Hillary Clinton might have been a better choice for Obama's running mate, a popular online trading exchange website is taking wagers on whether Biden will be withdrawn from the ticket.

Dumping Biden now would be political suicide.
So, I hope they do it.

George McGovern tried something like this in 1972, and we all know how that worked out.

Sure sounds like Michelle ma belle did not want "that woman" on the ticket.
I think at this point hillary will tell Nobama to stuff it.

My fantasy is this. Biden gets dumped from the ticket, and Hillary is asked to join. Obama wins, but then realizes he has his Brutus in the form of Hillary Clinton. He sets the Justice Department after her quietly but vigorously investigating the Clintons' crimes, and after a year or so they both go off to jail for the rest of their natural lives. Obama uses this to prove that he's against corruption.
Hey, I can dream, can't I? Of course, the fly in the ointment is Obama being the President.

Biden was insufficiently vetted and hastily chosen.
To: Cedric
I hope they dump him too; because with another woman other than Hillary, they will lose.

So Silly. Obama is going to admit that his first big choice was a mistake, but he will do better as POTUS?
Silly!

I believe Joe is "history." (The 'RATS love "history.")
I'm looking at these three in this order.
1. Sebelius - Kansas
2. Napolitano - Arizona
3. Rodham Clinton - Wherever.

No, no, no … Biden will suddenly come down with some strange medical problem that will allow him to step down gracefully (full recovery after the election) … allowing Obama to ask Hillary to join his campaign. IMHO ;-)

Yeap, Eagleton was dumped after it was found that he had undergone stock treatment for depression.

I’m betting on Neopolitano. That’ll get pulses running. (sarcasm)
