Show of hands: Who here still thinks Vice President Joseph R. Biden will be on the 2012 ticket?
Really? All of you? So wrong. The Great One, Sir Barack Hussein Obama, will replace the bumbling, buffoonish Mr. Biden with Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, maybe at the Democratic convention, maybe just before, in a last-ditch effort to win re-election.
The wild and crazy move is all the talk outside the Beltway. One state Democratic leader even tells me the bumper stickers are already printed, sitting in a warehouse in (where else?) Little Rock, Ark. Another party bigwig says she is “99.9 percent sure” the increasingly desperate president planned the whole thing from the beginning. (“C’mon, Hill, be Secretary of State for one term and I’ll make you veep the next!”)
Step back a minute: What does the president get from keeping Punxsutawney Putz on the ticket? Zippy the chimp. But if he bails on Mr. Biden, picks a woman — bam, base enthusiasm goes through the roof, women come out of the woodwork to vote (for Mrs. Clinton, not for Mr. Obama), and it’s 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. for another four years. (Plus, Joe becomes Secretary of State, because, really now, he wouldn’t know what to do if he wasn’t living off the government teat, would he?)
Back to the president’s desperation. As The Washington Times laid out last week, Mr. Obama’s re-election is no lock. “Many models show President Obama with a likely base of 252 electoral votes out of the 270 needed to win,” the paper said. Nice lead. He’s got a hold of the West Coast, the Northeast minus New Hampshire, plus most likely Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Hawaii (although some of those are still considered in play)...

Her broom has lost its’ bristles. Not gonna happen.

Saul Alinsky won't let this crisis go waste.
Run Sarah Palin in opposition.
Just saying.
And they thought Sarah Palin was polarizing!
nope.....
Inauguration pre-party @ Fort Marcy park.
She’s not going down on a sinking ship with a Captain she can’t trust.
Agreed. (Not that there were bristles on that leftist broom anyhow; more like rotted twigs.)
The most dangerous place on planet Earth would be between Hillary and one heartbeat away from the presidency.
Michelle won’t allow it, read The Amateur.

If anything, I think it more likely that 0bama resigns for ‘health reasons’, Stand Up Joe is sworn in, and HE picks Hillary for VP at the convention.
Don’t let crazy Joe fool ya, he may be the master of the faux pas, but he is a political street fighter that takes no back seat to anybody, not even the Clintons.
Biden was given the position to keep him quiet, he didn't want Obama for the candidate...said he "wasn't ready." They promised Biden the VP position to shut him up. Obama never really cared to consult with or give any importance to Biden. He was left to flounder and make a fool of himself. So...this time why bother to have a VP at all? I just wouldn't be surprised if the Narcissist Occupier of the WH wants to change the rules. Dictators don't have and don't want a "spare." If Obama wants to do this, he will find a way around the requirements for a VP. Just like he has gone around Congress so many times during his tenure.
the commie obama played the race card on the first black president, and now the black first guy will play the usurper card on the first homo-usurper commie guy.
Agreed. Tho she may be pushing for it. Just about theb only thing bho could do to lower his chances would be Hillary on the ticket. Not after the last 4 years of foreign policy muck-ups. He may replace Biden but with sonmeone attractive to voters.
Or Natural causes.
Moochelle’s not going to like it.
Okay - just for grins let’s assume it ends up being Joe and Hillary. Do they win? Somehow I can’t see BO turning over his warchest of $ to them. I am still getting emails in my “Possible SPAM” in-box from Bill asking for financial assistance to pay off Hillary’s bills left over from her last run. How do you see all of this shaking out?
Hillary would be better off without Obama on the ticket. Maybe she’ll challenge him at the convention.
From a homosexual to a lesbian.
I agree completely, what’s the upside for her. Zero loses she loses, Zero wins the country’s so screwed up she takes part of the blame.
If I’m her (a horrid thought believe me) I roll the dice and help Zero ......lose and get to look like a star in 2016.
Teh Awesome would have to admit he was wrong. And Teh Awesome is never wrong.
Actually, with the right ads, Romney could get some mileage out of this. This would make Obama seem even more desperate and incompetent than he already is.
completely and totally off topic, but does someone have that web hubble morphing into chelsea clinton pic?
Exactly. The Clinton’s didn’t want him to win in 2008 and nothing has changed.
We need to prepare ourselves for the very real possibility of facing an Obama/Clinton ticket in 2012. Posting conspiracy theories won't stop it. We need to have answers ready.
It’ll happen. It’s a done deal. The signs are everywhere. And it might work.
they write the script, and the movie really sucks.
If Barry did this he would be lucky to see January 21st 2013.....
Palin would be the perfect counter.
Seriously. She’s naturally likable, relatable, even gritty. She’s not as Beck framed it “a monocle away from being the Monopoly guy”. Romney is, unfortunately.
Romney also is, smart. He gets winning.
Palin is the anti-Romney. She’s about individualism. Sensibility. Doing what is right. She’s patriotic, and she’s downright INSPIRING.
Palin would energize Romney’s campaign, just like she did McCain’s.
She’s the perfect complement to Romney’s moderation.
It is my understanding that the House of Representatives counts and confirms the Electoral college votes for President and the Senate counts and confirms the Electoral College votes for Vice President. If there are no electoral college votes for a Democrat Party candidate for VPOTUS then the Republican Party candidate will win the VPOTUS office because that candidate will have the most Electoral college votes for that office. It is possible to have a president and vice president from different parties, or from no established parties. It all depends on who can win the most electoral college votes. Right now though, the two main political parties have a lock on those EC votes and have had control of those votes for a rather long time.
These are my thoughts, as well.
Running with Hillary will surely kickstart the anti-Rmoney segment of voters on the right. Maybe even around here ;)
So if its not Hillary and its not old Joe.... who will it be?
Scares the crap out of me....because it could work. A demoralized party and all those disaffected Hillary supporters will come charging back. And Mittens would get steamrolled. Putting off any substantial home improvements and other big expenditures until after November 6th. If he’s re-elected, we as a country are toast.

The country is lost if this happens. They are the same.

So very wrong. Run Condelezza Rice in opposition.
She is ancient, and I do mean ancient history.
If it happens, Barry better have someone tasting his food.
For anyone who is ‘certain’ that Hildebeast will be on this ticket, they can make 20:1 odds at Intrade...

I thought in 2008 that the selection of Biden would sink the Obama candidacy. I was wrong then, but Crazy Joe, who knows lots of things that just aren’t so” is still a very, very weak partner for Obama.
