The Big Switch (Hillary to replace Joe?)
American Thinker ^ | January 14, 2012 | Albin Sadar

Posted on 01/14/2012 8:09:32 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Now that the 2008 idea to "make history by voting for the first African-American president" is yesterday's news, what will be done to spice up the current election season? Two more white guys running on the Republican side? Not a chance. But a woman as a running mate for the Democrats? Now, that could do it. And not just any woman, but the woman who was left high and dry the last time around. The woman currently ranked more popular than Oprah. Yes, a "reluctant," hope-we-can-convince-her Hillary Clinton.

And, best of all, having Hillary replace Joe Biden on the ticket would be the perfect way for a do-over, a way for voters to atone, to collectively tell Hillary: "We're sorry!" Many are regretting that Hillary didn't get the nod for the top spot four years back. Now they'll be perfectly willing to enhance their race-oriented vote of 2008 with a gender-targeted one in 2012, even if it does mean resigning Mrs. Clinton to second chair.

On Bill O'Reilly's show a few nights back, a couple of pundits were arguing that replacing Joe Biden on the ticket would be tantamount to the Democrats admitting that the Obama/Biden ticket is in trouble. Although true, these pundits failed to realize that the yellow-stream media would spin a Biden jettison in a positive way. He's graciously taking one for the team, they'd say, and, pointing to his long and noble years of public service, they'd tout his well-deserved, well-earned retirement.

These same O'Reilly analysts also asked, "Why would Hillary want to leave her current role as secretary of state? It's a terrific position of power and influence." But what is the truest desire of both Hillary and Bill Clinton? The historic First Female President trophy....

Hitlery is every bit as evil as he is. She’s Marxist to the core.

I don’t know about anyone else but I wouldn’t want to be the heartbeat between Hillary and the Oval Office.

This is Obama’s secret weapon. I have grave misgivings that no matter who the Republican nominee is, Obama will switch Biden for Hillary and sweep in enough dissatisfied Democrats and independents to win.

The question will be one of timing...would he do it early or would he keep this option in reserve and if he’s really in trouble, pull it off as an October Surprise? All it would take is for Biden to suddenly develop “heart problems”, making way for Hillary to ride the tide into November.

Consider too, with Hillary in the veep spot, Obama’s eligibility suddenly becomes an issue and she slides into the nomination. Maybe his records will turn up just like the billing records.

and maybe just maybe that’s why Jarret Inc will never ever permit hillary clinton on the ticket

Its not about the party for those folks, it’s about the revolution and they need barry as a figurehead

So what does Hillary gain from this? If she is VP she still has to wait 4 more years to run for president.

It's always a gamble but a necessary one if she wants to run in 2016, which I firmly believe she does.

She and her pimp-daddy are as power hungry as anyone can possibly be and nothing's going to stop them until they're back in the white house again.......

I agree with you. But he’s too narcissistic to realize danger when it’s so obvious. Anyone trusting the clintons is a fool.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. The only reason they’d make the switch is if they suspect that Zero won’t be eligible to run. Otherwise I think this is just the same teaser that goes up every so often.


BINGO!...hill KNOWS he is ineligible. The walls are closing in on zero. When he takes the “walk of shame”..hill gallops to the rescue to save the party and the nation..criss/cross.

Keep repeating it whether it's likely to happen or not.

It must drive Biden crazy.
