The only way, aside from Biden having a real medical issue, is for Biden to ask to drop out. Obama then goes through the motion of trying to keep Biden on, then after even more drama, for Obama to reluctantly accepts Biden’s resignation from the ticket.

I think Hillary would have taken the VP going into the convention, she could have run BO for 2 years and then Fostered him. Now she is more than will to wait knowing full well this campaign will destroy BO’s chances of running for POTUS again.AWB

I don't think Biden would leave voluntarily. The Clintons will arrange an Arkancide and then Hillary will step in.

“It’s totally possible .
I would watch Howard Wolfson carefully , as he is as close a reflection to what the Klinton’s are thinking as we will see in public. He has been very kind to Barry lately , which is quite telling . Something is in the works”

Heh.

What if Biden drops out, and Obama names BILL Clinton to be his Veep?

That makes no sense at all. Hillary would be stuck as VP for 8 years. Then she’d simply be too old (or dead)to run for POtUS in 2016

"Her $$$$ raising capability is gone She is damaged goods The MSM will make her a nonperson and build somebody else up--They are Clinton weary "

4 more years of Republican rule will heal and hard feelings between the Clintons and MSM. She runs virtually unopposed in 2012.AWB

You could be right, but it won’t stop her from campaigning.

I will be disappointed if the McCain/Palin campaign doesn’t head this off proactively. Rudy Guiliani’s comment isn’t enough groundwork...they need to start making more jokes/comments/etc about it. Although they have to be careful on the medical side, they should bring that up—since the fake medical problem seems to be the way the Dems can dump Biden without Obama looking like he makes poor decisions—along with being able to hint at questions about Sen. McCain’s health at the same time.

This is just a Democrat minion''s foolish dream. It'll never happen!

First, Hillary wants Obama to lose. If Obama wins, Hillary will never have a chance to be President. If Obama wins, he will run a second term and she would then be to old to run and win in 2016, especially after the destruction Obama would leave behind. If McCain wins he will only be President for one term, then Hillary can run against Vice President Palin in 2012.

Second, Hillary would be smart enough to know that if Biden is booted, it would be to late for even her to save Obama's lame posterior.

What about the possibility of Obama offering a one term presidency if Hillary accepts the number 2 position now? That would set her up even better in 2012. Otherwise she may have to wait two terms and run in 2016.

The problem is this,there are thousands and thousands of people, maybe millions that dont have cable TV, and we all know that ABC, CBS, NBC will show it as an awful turn of fate, and wont know any better!! The word needs to get out, that this may be coming!! The “Chosen One” knows he is failing, and its up to us to get it out that this may be coming!!

Far fetched, but the media would give Nobama enough cover to pull it off. In fact, they’d be orgasmic.

That would be suicide for Obama. Jihadists usually wear a bomb vest and take as many out as they can.

Seriously, Bill Clinton is history. His only chance of getting into the WH is as first lady/man.

Yep, I have been dreading, waiting with baited breath, for her highness to rush to the rescue of the DNC. It won't matter how lame, how tit-for-tat it will be adding a female VP to the Dem ticket, how misleading to the delegates who didn't choose her, the MSM will have nothing but more praise. And sends a sort of back handed message (if it materializes) to McCain with the 'older' Biden backing down. Sigh. October surprise? Yeah, about as 'surprising' as the Stock Market Crash of 1929 or the Mini crash of 1987. I hope it doesn't happen. I hope we can make it through October without any 'surprises'.

I just don’t see them being able to wait until 2012, and by 2016 the age of clinton will be gone.

If Barry wins, Hillary would have to oppose him in 2012 which would be repeat of this year.

When McCain/Palin win, Hillary will have to face a very tough, experienced, and univerisally loved Sarah Palin, as McCain will bow out for 2012.

The only option the Clinton machine has left is to maneuver Hillary into the top spot.

Oh yes, let’s wait to hear that Joe has a bad heart, or the asthma he suddenly developed to get out of the Vietnam War, has returned

That's no excuse, Obama can supply him with 'breathalysers' and 'inhalators'.

It can’t happen. This is the goofiest thread I’ve ever seen.

Something like that is just too desperate and would be political suicide for Hillary, AND for the democrat party in general.

Any hope or chance of Hillary for VP ended when Obama picked bidden, RATS voted and the DNC convention ended.

There is a month and a half roughly left til election day. The only “October suprizes” we will see from the RATS now will be smears and slander.
