Second: It may be a smart move for Obama but a bad one for Hillary.

UNLESS, via the Chinese mafia, something happens to Oboma. She'll be all set for the next 4 years, and then she'll be running as an incumbent in 2016.
If Oboma does throw 'ol Joe under the bus, he's seriously taking quite a gamble.

Think Marcy Park. The Clintons have an "impressive" death list behind them. They don't take prisoners.

Biden better keep his eye out for any baseball bats.


Nah. I just think he will go the “I’m tired and want to spend more time with my family” route.

If Obama wins re-election, the economy will be stagnant for the next 4 years, and the deficit will exceed $20T.

Hillary's too smart to have that albatross hanging around her neck.

“I don’t think Obama’s ego is going to turn Hillary loose so close to him...”

If one thinks Bambi is calling the shots, then you may be right. But if Bambi is just the puppet of some Marxist...err I mean Socialist group then all bets are off. Hello, hello George is that you?

Having Clinton on the ticket would switch the VP and P debates from the USA economy to world affairs. Though Romney might have some moxie about foreign affairs (and would be well served to get a person with such experience including military on board and out front) I don’t believe Romney would get much help from Ryan when it comes to Hillary.

I doubt it, but this guy and his missus are having too much fun being royalty. It would be pretty unusual to do this, but IIRC, it has been done before (didn’t FDR ditch someone, or did they die?)

Bork was nominated but not confirmed by the Senate.

The fact that Clarence Thomas was confirmed by the Senate was almost a miracle.

John Roberts was nominated and he was confirmed. Harriet Mears Dubya’s first choice would have been an easy confirmation.

Recent history tends to show that elitists suchs as the Bushes tend to nominate other elitists and even though the Senators may blow smoke they are satisfied with the confirmation.

Orrin Hatch voted to put Sotomayor on the federal bench in the late nineties even though he was pretty much forced to vote against her confirmation to the Supreme Court.

The Senate has CONFIRMATION and history tells us that is MORE important than appointment.

I agree with you. His ego would never tolerate it. No way.

The LAME stream media was trying to say Ryan is overshadowing Romney. What would they say about Hillary?

Here's your choice America:

Romney-Ryan = President & Vice President

0bama-Clinton = Race Card & Gender Card

If this happens, Romney needs to pull a star power move and announce that Donald Trump would be our Commerce Secretary!

I think people are always going to be a bit nervous without understanding the dynamics of a presidential race.

Hillary is in her 60s, and hasn’t run a campaign where she actually won after a tough fight.

The Senate seat in NY was gifted to her, and Obama and Co. hounded her right out of 2008 with accusations of being a racist.

Hill would never run as a 2nd banana. Clintons don’t do that. If she did, there would be tension and fissures the whole way through overwhelming any message Obama might want to project.

And top of that, the economy will still suck.

We had better hope Newt will forgive how he was treated in the primary.

I haven't forgotten what a terrible campaigner Noot is. If your wish is to lose this election, then put N. Leroy Gingrich on the ticket.

"It's the economy, stupid."

People vote with their wallets. Ryan can run rings around hillary when it comes to domestic issues. I think Americans would put America first.
Hillary, like her husband, would want to raise taxes like her husband, but Bill had Reaganomics to cover for the revenue loss. All Hillary has is Obomanomics, so there's no money left to cover up the losses. Oboma has already lost us 5 trillion. We can't afford a tax increase this time.

“A friend of mine actually works at the printing shop where those signs are made. He called me the day before yesterday and told me they’re printing Obama’s signs. He said “you ain’t gonna believe it. I wish I could tell you but I’m sworn to secrecy as per the contract. You’ll know sonner or later”

If true, and assuming he is a Patriot, he should sneak a sign out of the shop. Then get it to a Republican operative and blow the lid off this before Bambi can make the announcement. (big momentum loss for him) Sure he loses his job, but he would be well taken car of. Think of the old lady that was obused on that school bus. Whats she up too... half a million of Paypal donations??

I’d like to see Hilary defend obama ‘s policies. I still think she ‘d be no match for Ryan.

I think you are right. Obama will do anything to stay in power.And throw anyone under the bus.
This is really bad news for our side if this happens.Its over.
I think today is the “first offer” to Hillary. The Clintons will shake him down for anything they want and get it.
I predict two or three days days before the republican convention will be the announcement.

They will be good cop bad cop. Anything that Obama does that polls really bad. Hillary can take a position of opposing it.

Makes her look moderate and Obama dosen’t care he has nothing more to run for.
And then when she runs in’16 she can say she stood up to Obama as VP.
To me its a no brainer.

"Then where did Hoodat get the Obama/Clinton sign? Obviously they're already out there."

That is Photoshop. You can put your own name there too.

*shudder*

"Romney needs to step down. Only one person can handle the Clinton. We had better hope Newt will forgive how he was treated in the primary."

Ooooookay.
