I don’t think so. He already has too much of a reputation of being an indecisive empty suit. That would confirm it. But he does need Hillary to campaign hard for him. She shouldn’t. It will be interesting to see what she decides to do.
Has anyone noticed FR is really slow? Do you think it has anything to do with everyone posting vanities? Honest question.
It was my first thought after she spoke in Dayton. Hillary won’t get on this sinking ship (though, maybe she will, since Palin represents her death along with Obama’s), but Kathleen Abortion might.
They have to be seriously considering it. Biden was a major blunder. It won’t help them though, other than to get them into a news cycle or two, along with comparisons to McGovern.
Lunchpail Joe could always suffer another convenient brain aneurysm and have to withdraw.
The Dems might want to dump Biden but Bambi would NEVER do so because, that would mean he has to admit he made a mistake, and as we have seen with The Surge, Bambi’s huge and fragile ego prevents him from doing that.
I doubt it. At least with Biden, Obama knows he doesn’t ever have to fear Ft. Marcy Park.
Plus, Hillary knows that if Obama wins, he’ll be a one-termer, regardless of whether or not she’s his VP. So why would she want to be on the ticket of a one-termer, when we’re sure to win in 2012?
IMHO, Hillary wants to be President now; not VP.
Obama can’t afford to make a move against Biden. After such a public (and dramatically heightened) announcement of Biden as his running mate, were he to dumo Biden now, it would confirm what we already know - Obama makes bad decisions and isn’t ready to lead. He has made his bed and has to sleep in it.
McCain/Palin has spectacularly outmaneuvered the Obamessiah and it is game, set and match. Obama is done.
If Mr. Obama replaces Mr. Biden, Mr. O is toast.
It will be seen as a sign of bad judgement and indecision(which would be true).
Mr. Zero wants the gig too much to drop Mr. Biden at this juncture.
OBAMA-SHEEHAN!!!
It would create more problems than it solves for Obama.
It comes down to debates now.
Obama is used to giving prepared speeches - he has not done much debating in the US Senate, none in the IL state senate, and has no courtroom experience as a lawyer.
Senator McCain has been mixing it up in the Senate for years and speaks decently on his feet.
Biden is a seasoned debater - but he specializes in nasty gotcha moments, a tactic that will make him look like an arserag in a debate with Governor Palin.
After the dust from the RNC settles, the main poll movers will be the debates and any last-minute scandals or revelations that the MSM can cook up.
Dan Rather's incompetence compromised the MSM's ability to convincingly do the latter.
They threw everything they could find at Palin this week.
If people think Hillary will step in, doubtful. Hillary hated Tipper Gore and Hillary was top banana in that relationship. Can anyone imagine Hillary or Bill playing second fiddle for 4 years to Obama and that scowling Michele? Even Obama couldn’t keep up with the Clinton ego. And she would be sabotaging her 2012 run which is underway.
#3, yes FR is slow at least on this end.
The way I see it is Obama’s screwed if he does drop Biden and he’s screwed if he doesn’t.
Nah....put Biden in a dress and put his plugs in a bun....the liberals will think he’s a mighty good looking liberal lady.....
The strangest thing to me about the Dems defense, they’re acting like Obama is running against Palin. I’ve not heard one comparison of Biden and Palen, but of Obama and Palen. When are they going to remember that Obama is running against McCain. Arguing experience against the VP is not a great strategy, but if that’s all you’ve got, guess you’ve gotta use it.
And then you’d see that Giuliani “I’d get that in writing” clip playing over and over and over again.
After Rudy telling Biden “ to get that VP thing in writing “
I don’t think he dares.
A friend said that Biden better bring his “ A “ game to the debate.
I replied- Biden doesn’t have an “ A “ game.
And let’s be honest- neither does Barry.
Hillary would have been a stronger, savvier and smoother candidate than both of these two buffoons put together.
The adults in the Democrat party must surely realize this by now.
Last night Rudy mentioned that “Biden better get that VP thing in writing.”
Personally, I think this was more than just a random stab, but a pre-emptive strike to make such a thing even more difficult for Obama. There was some talk on FR the other day about Biden being a little sauced at a PA rally. And I did some searching to find there are some rumors about that kind of thing. (I doubt any of it is substantiated). However, it hit me that this could be a way to replace Biden with Hillary. But, like others have said, that would be a huge sign of desperation so I doubt it would ever happen.
biden makes up for those teeny little shortcomings of the one. Where the one is without experience, No. 2 has lots of it. Shucks to here him tell it he was the one who taught algore all about the Internet.
Even the socialist who have taken over the democrat party are smart enough to back away from what is about to envelope that group of traitors.
I watched pmsnbc last night—1st time in 4 or 5 years— I was looking for a little shadenfreude, and I got it. As Mark Steyn has written, the media attack on Sarah backfired big time. I knew she would knock it out of the park (just as I know she will kick Biden’s ass when the time comes) and I wanted to see the nbc turds treatment of her speech. You could tell they were aghast and had turned very, very worried. All in all, it was a pretty nice feeling.
