What is not clear is this, if Biden suddenly became president, would America be worse off than it already is?

Biden’s erratic statements certainly should make Team Obama nervous.

0bama makes me nervous. The Commie in Chief needs to be evicted from the People's House.

Sam Goldwyn was the legendary Hollywood producer who was known for malapropisms

Sam Goldwyn had been successful in a real managerial job with a profit-making company. What Democrat politician can claim that?

Obama is between a Barack and a hard place. If he dumps Biden, it would cause political Mayhem for the Obama Campaign with the Election only 82 days away. And, Obama would have to admit that he made a mistake in choosing Biden. Narcissists just don’t admit mistakes. But, a Hillary VP slot cold energize the Dems. I hope he keeps ol’ Joe.

I find it hard to believe that Biden's blundering could be any worse than the intentional sabotage being done by Obama.

They may be setting up a scenario wherein people are expecting him to fall flat on his face in front of Ryan only to come off as “appearing” sane and rational and therefore wins the expectations contest and the debate by extension

Sam Goldwyn was the legendary Hollywood producer who was known for malapropisms (“A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on”).

The example seems to me to be an example of sly wit rather than a malapropism -- that is, a verbal contract obviously isn't written on paper, so the value of that non-piece of paper is nothing, which means that a verbal contract is less than nothing... the exact point Goldwyn was apparently trying to make.

Worse off? How about Different Off. Idiocy versus Evil.

Biden will stay on the ticket, but I expect his campaigning will be confined to small, friendly crowds and they may saddle him with a teleprompter to be safe.

That’s going to put the major burden of campaigning and fundraising on Obama’s shoulders. Obama already looks exhausted and if he doesn’t get in his golf games, he gets cranky.

Biden sealed his #2 spot on the ticket this cycle when he deliberately snarked Bam-Bam on the gay marriage issue.

If Obama dumps Biden, he infuriates the gays. They won’t vote for Romney, but they’ll stay home.

Biden is also one of the few persons in the White House with strong ties to organized labor. They are very upset about Charlotte.

All wrong.....the demoncrats will dump Biden by this Friday, late... replacement will not be Hidlebeast aka Cankels, Honorable Senator from NY but...... Elizabeth Lieahwahtha Warren. Warren is losing in mASSachusetts so pulling her out saves the coming defeat for Kennedy seat again and gives the demoncrats two minorities and an ovary carrying, shrilly, known socialist on the ticket with a proven ability to lie and both know “you did not build that”. The demoncrat Dream TEAM!

The pissstream media will go nuts for this ticket...

I wonder if Biden has something wrong with his brain (an actual ailment). Should be an interesting next couple of months.

My more liberal Facebook friends are worried about this election. I can see it in the tone of their posts. Paul Ryan has them very concerned.

I’ve never seen a state of affairs with a cast of characters that even approach this. There might be one here and there but this whole cast is a mess.

My first reaction is that the blundering doofus is more harmless than the malicious ideologue.

My second reaction is that the blundering doofus becomes, in effect, President Soros.

You are absolutely right on this. This will be the winning ticket and the only way Obama can win. I was surprised that Sarah Palin said this last night on Greta’s Program. I know that Palin cant not stand Rommney. She also knows full well that with Hiliary on the ticket, Obama will be a second term president. Why would she say that. If Palin wanted to run she should have put her name in the pot.
