Yup

Good post potlatch

He’s been campaigning since he got in the Senate

Last year he started using some of the $100 million that was to go to all those poor Chicago public school kids with the 60” plasma TV on their living room wall

Grades never went up - Annenburg dropped any future bleeding heart funding

And Obama met George Soros through an heiress

I wonder how much Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac actually put in the pot for Obama’s campaign

I must have missed something. Was Biden given the questions in advance? The VP debate is still 2 weeks away.

I'm saying that if the Dem strategy is to have Biden drop out after the VP debate, that is no excuse for Hillary still having a debate.

Obama was organized

The others proved in the primaries they were not

Yes! David Horowitz is someone I admire greatly! Interesting that you mention him, I was just moving some audiobooks onto my iPhone tonight to listen to again, and one of them was his book Radical Son

GREAT BOOK!

We ALL have some liberal past...I was as conservative as they come (I was completely on the side of RIchard Nixon and his administration when I was 11 years old...I thought John Dean should have been hung for treason when I was 15 or so...:)

When I was in college, I thought sociology was the most amazing thing. Now I see it is all liberal socialist claptrap.

I guess we all eventually get mugged...:)

If Biden did this, it would cause chaos in the democratic party and would look awful to independent voters. It would be terribly unlikely because it would lead to almost certain defeat, no matter who would replace Biden. Democrats get away with this in places like New Jersey, but nationally, it is a non-starter. It will not happen.

I wouldn’t blame them if they switched running mates. Biden is a real crummy vp pick, so I think either way it makes Obama look not very smart.

What I was saying is that given Hilly’s history the only way she would agree to the rules of a debate under rules agreed to by Biden is if those rules were rules she would agree to; which is to say that she new the questions in advance.

Could just be speculative rumors.

Wouldn't it be illegal to switch names on the state ballots this late in the political campaign?

Isn't there a 60 day time limit to switch candidates.

Paper ballots have been printed. Software has been programmed.

Short of the death of a candidate, I would think it would be illegal somehow.

They say one should have the heart of a liberal when young and the mind of a conservative when mature.ha.

An infected plug???

Maybe some of the plugs were planted upside down. This could explain some of his "hair"-brained comments.

If Biden quits, the race is over. Any excuse would be transparent. BO would seen incapable of making good decisions if he didn’t vet his own running mate’s health.

Heh, yeah, probably. :’)

Thanks Berosus.

This rumor about Plugs was circulating last week too, I think there was a FR topic on it. Too lazy to check.
