Wow! I think that it has a lot to do with the losing recall effort in Wisconsin, as well as polls showing an across the board erosion in Obama’s support, even among black voters. This makes me wonder if union leaders are working on the inside, using their economic and manpower leverage to bring about a major shift in Democratic support to Hillary, either as a replacement for Biden, or even the top of the ticket.

I remain skeptical, I can't see them pulling a Lautenberg at this point, it is a logistic nightmare and IMHO they loose the American of African Decent vote forever if they do.

They have screwed the pooch with running this horse and they are gonna have to suck it up until November. Besides IMHO he won't leave the whole Malignant Narcissism thing ya know...

True, but this is a seismic shift in the campaign landscape. The likelihood of Obama not being the candidate is miniscule, but Biden adds nothing, is universally acknowledged as a doofus, and could be easily replaced with someone who has broad appeal with white working class union people. I’m not sure that is even a remote possibility of Biden actually being replaced either, but I’m sure there are whispers of the sort. Just pray that Obama’s slide continues, and the next 21 weeks should be very interesting!

...they loose the American of African Decent vote forever if they do.(sic)

Really, the 'Black Vote' is highly overrated. Their entire population is only about 14% of the populace, and that's counting babies, older children and the aged and infirm. Of that group, how many actually show up at the polls on election day? They may be concentrated in urban areas, but as for the rest of the country, they are relatively diluted to the point of being just another vote in a sea of electorate. That's one reason the Democrat Party had really ignored them for decades, politically, because targeting funds to a small group of people that will essentially be in your back pocket is not efficient use of funds. ....
