Heck, this convention could be via email text-messaging.

After. Once Obama is down to 3 weeks before the election, and he switched Biden, over half the absentee votes will already be cast. So then his change will have no effect.

But, but.....

This prompts tons of questions, but here are some key ones I think about:

1. We’ve been told, by Dems. and Republicans alike, that the first presidential decision made by a candidate is who he picks for his running mate. They all say that says a lot about the candidates judgement, and what areas the running mate can help him in. If Obama replaces Biden, what does that say about his judgement in picking him in the first place then?

2. If he dumps Biden and puts Hillary on the ticket, isn’t that an obvious response to Sarah Palin running with McCain? And doesn’t it show the Dem. party in a bad light if they didn’t pick their woman to start with?

3. If he dumps Biden, what will the reasoning be? He can’t just say that because of all the excitement about Sarah, and the polls going South, that he needs a woman on the ticket too.

4. A career politician with ambition such as Joe is not going to just voluntarily withdraw, would he?

5. With only 50+ days to do, several days of headlines would be devoted to the weakness of Obama replacing his running mate. That’s not going to be good publicity for the Democrats.

I saw this coming. Joe Biden is about to become “ill” and needs to get off the campaign trail “according to his doctors.” I hope the “media” tapes Obammie groveling at Billy and Hillary’s feet. I won’t hold my breath.

Who’s Joe Biden?

He's Hussein's attempt to broaden and balance the ticket,,,,

with a far-left wing, northern liberal, Washington-insider, lawyer, and career senator with no executive or private sector experience.

Oooopppps, never mind. I just described Hussein himself....lol

I don’t think Hillary will come to Obamas’ aid. She knows that this campaign will destroy any chance he has of running again and will leave the way to 2012 free and clear for her. AWB

The bigger problem is the top of the ticket.
