Why fabricate a reason? He's nuts, same as Eagleton was. And this would have the same result as replacing Eagleton did.
Ugh. Sure to be a thorn in all our sides, esp McCain/Palin, until she can launch her own presidential campaign. I can't see any amount of Reaganesque reaching across the aisle as working to soften her hard line. But then, lol, Byrd will be there forever.
I don’t think those rules apply to Democrats.
Here in San Francisco - yes Virginia there are FReepers in San Francisco - I had seen nothing but Obama stickers for MONTHS.
A couple of weeks ago I saw a “Nobama,” then, one more.
Today I saw my first “McCain-Palin.”
I don’t have one. I don’t have a death wish. I drive around with little kids in my car, and the dems are feral here.
And yet - don’t you think that even if Biden “withdrew” himself, the majority of people will see right through that and BHO is still pretty screwed? See, even if that did happen, Hillary supporters may be offended as well and vote for McCain, because we all (and they) know that if JSM wins, HRC can (theoretically) come back in ‘12, whereas if BHO wins, she well may have to wait 8 years.
O/O '08...
Obama's, Hillary's, and Hillary's .....?
Lautenberg - bait and switch at the last minute.
GROSS.
I agree. It would be seen for what it is: a desperate political ploy; and it would demonstrate Obama's poor judgement in choosing Biden for the VP slot.
Oh, if only! Imagine, she already has ‘O’ magazine! Oh, the love fest continues. And her audiences will lose all control, they’ll need paramedics on hand to help the ladies cope. Oooooh, O/O ‘08! She would love that. If not now, then surely for his second term! (The tabloids speak of tension between Oprah and Michele, hmmmmm....)
Cheers!
“Either way, Obam-uh-uh-uh loses.”
RM - please, from your lips to God’s ear.
What if Biden drops out, and Obama names BILL Clinton to be his Veep?Can't. The VP must meet the qualifications for Prez. Bill is term-limited out.
No one here is thinking outside the box.
What if the Clintons were planning to take out nObama himself? If they set it up to look like some racist did the deed, they could put Hillary in the top spot and play up the emotions of a "national tragedy" and ride that wave right into office. "Those damn racist Republicans couldn't stand the Chosen One so they killed him."
They might even get nObama in on the plan with him thinking they're going after Biden during a joint appearance.
I don't believe this will happen, but from my perspective it is one of the only ways for Hillary to get a sure win. nObama isn't going to get elected no matter who the running mate is and Palin in the VP role would seriously damage Hillary's chances in 2012.

Hillary won’t do it...the PUMA’s won’t buy it. They HATE Obama...she will not sully herself or risk being on a losing ticket..that’s NOT how she wants to go out...I cannot see that happening.
Kennedy was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald. An angry, violent and bitter communist who was hated Kennedy.
Many people simply do not want to accept this because it seems so wrong that a nobody like Oswald can strike down a President such as Kennedy. Nobodies are not supposed to drive human events that way.
Case Closed by Gerald Posner is probably the most comprehensive study on this.
That would be too transparent by half. They will have to be a little more drastic with Biden to make it believable.
I must confess...it was ME on the grassy knoll that day. I was aiming for Governor Connolly because I knew that he would push Nixon to adopt price controls all those years later.
