The article doesn’t suggest that Baraq himself is going to be the candidate. It says they are waiting to torpedo Hillary and insert Biden or Warren as Baraq 2.0.
I’m thinking the Wookie.
Que martial law, and blam - it isn’t lifted for 4 years, and he remains in office.
Biden is likely. Or even Moochelle. Notice how BOTH of them have been as detached from Barack as humanly possible the past few months? Remember the same with Hillary for the many months before she announced she was running? No association with Barack whatsoever, EXCEPT FOR THE 3 OR 4 SECRET MEETINGS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
If Obama/Jarrett had a plan wouldn't they have a candidate ready and waiting?
Somebody better than Biden? Maybe they had a shot with Warren, but she didn't take it.
It's too risky to go after the front runner without a really good candidate available. It opens the door to defeat.
No I think Obama is feeling "Après moi, le déluge" right now -- After me, who cares?
