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.

No,you’ve got it wrong, Obama is going to have a breakdown
and Hillery! will take the reins. A simple injection or two
and Barrack is in lala land, babbling about magic unicorns
and evil witches of the north...Then joe has a car accident
and Bill slips into the Veep slot and it’s Camelot all over again on a bridge to the 22nd Century.

A shame, he was such a promising young man too.......

The biggest question: Would Hillary be willing to take the risk of going down with the sinking ship that is Obama.

He won’t just dump Biden. Biden will withdraw for health reasons or a family crises or something. He will put Hillary on the ticket and it won’t seem strange because she would be the most logical choice. Of course all of us will see through it but the crazy moonbats won’t. They are his base anyway. We may lose some of the Hillary voters we picked up, though.

Biden would withdraw his name in order to save himself.

If anyone can convince Biden that Obama is going down in flames, Biden would seek a way out to save himself.

We have to be SMART ENOUGH to let him out without repurcussions. (sun tzu and all that)

Of course the question is who would be willing to step in? Hillary? not if obama is self destructing. It has to be a far left woman to be the “me too” to palin.
