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

Well, it wouldn’t be the first time. Biden had brain surgery back in 1988 for two berry aneurysms, one on each side of his brain. Maybe he’s faking it this time to give a reason for a graceful departure because he’s already been told he doesn’t cut it for a second go-round.
Clinton would be a big lift to the Dems game.

Maybe if they get it out there now it makes it look more of an act of desperation for ghettobama since an illness will not be believable from slow joe?

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

America would be decidedly better under Biden. He’s an idiot and he’s white so maybe the RINOs would consider impeaching him.

What do your liberal friends have against Romney and Ryan? They don’t support a pro-growth, pro-America reform ticket? Why not?

Obama/Democrat party not-too-bright. The old adage, “Be careful what you wish for, you may get want you want”. So.....the Obamabots jumped for joy when Mitt Romney selected Paul Ryan as his VP, choice. In their glee, they overlooked the impact & fact that the Ryan selection would have on the number one buffoon and dummie, not only in politics, but...in the entire universe, Joe Biden.

Now....old racist, Joe is front and center in competition with Ryan, who will eat his lunch every single day!!! Now....the Democrat Party still has time to dump Biden under the bus and replace him with someone like Hillary Clinton, but.....the real problem for the Democrat Party is not Joe Biden, but...Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama is the one the Democrat Party needs to dump, which they will not do!!! And....if Hillary comes on board, she, too, has a major screw loose, teaming up with Obama, who hate the Clintons. The Dems have boxed themselves with a pure and total moron!!! Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving group of American traitors!!!

I've thought for some time that Biden would be replaced on the ticket with 90 days to go. We're a bit past that, but I still think Biden will go. Team O won't even have to mention any of Joe's screw-ups if they replace him. By now, Biden is a joke, and many people are wondering if he is becoming senile. This latest absurd "chains" comment will get so much attention that it will be what the talking heads cite as the last straw.

As for Biden's replacement, there probably aren't any viable hispanic or black VP choices for the Dems, so they will probably go with a woman. O has nothing to gain from Biden anymore, and will probably seek to strengthen his take of the female vote, which Romney/Ryan would erode over the course of the campaign.

This long standing idea of replacing Joe Biden with Hillary Clinton doesn’t make much sense to me. If she is interested in 2016, why would she become more closely associated Obama? Second terms are rarely that great anyway.

I have not heard even a single mention of the First Family taking a well deserved summer vacation on Martha’s Vineyard or anywhere else. Just a coinkydink, I’m sure.

I didn't know that. Interesting.

They are not going to replace Biden. The time to have done that was months ago when it wouldn’t look like a desperation move or a reaction to Ryan, whom they have been acting like was a great deal for their side.

Biden serves as the idiot for Obama to supposedly look brilliant, and to deter anyone from getting cute and wanting Obama gone.

I was talking on the phone to someone who gets Boston channels on his cable and he said there are all kinds of Masshole Dems that are supporting Scott Brown over Sheliesalot Warren and they are vocal about it - making Scott Brown TV commercials.

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.

You know, I wish that everyone would STFU until Biden is actually nominated to be the Veep candidate again. We WANT him to be in this slot again, so that we can attack the idea of a 2nd BO administration based completely on lack of competence. Does ANYONE here want the H'Beast on the ticket? I'm dead serious - first, it'd make it a lot more likely that BO would win, and then we'd have H'Beast actually be a serious candidate in 2016 - but not so on either score for Plugs.

Team BO could easily dump him, but the excuse would be "health-related issues." They'd toss him under the bus, mentioning his anyeurisms and connect it with his idiotic statements (though any examination of his record will show that he has ALWAYS been an idiot).

Seriously, everyone STFU about Plugs until after the Dem convention. Let's not make it easier for BO.

0dumbsh_t is pure unmitigated evil as well as being stupid. Biden is a big dumb doofus, the dumbest guy in Washington DC. Give a choice, I would rather have dumbest guy in the WH versus the current RAT bastard evil commie pig, 0dumb0!

America would become even more of the laughing stock of the world than 0Bamma and Biden have already made it. Let’s face it folks, who really takes Joe Biden seriously... He’s nuttier than chunky peanut butter and as squishy as creamy peanut butter.

But, by all means, please keep Biden on the 0Bamma ticket.... After all, if nothing else, Mr. “Stand Up Chuck, oh what was I thinking” Biden is truly fun to watch!

I’ve no doubt that some Democratic strategists would love for Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to swap jobs and bolster the Democratic ticket with a little Clinton magic.

Last time I looked the Vice President of the United States was an ELECTED position. How does that fit with "Democratic strategists would love for Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to swap jobs"? Is that even possible?

Regards,
GtG

Obama already looks exhausted and if he doesn’t get in his golf games, he gets cranky.

Why would he be exhausted? It's not like he walks the course.

Palin cut off Hillary and put Othugga in a corner... while giving an elbow to Romney. Othugga can’t win, checkmate to Palin, Hillary is too beat down and drunk to run

Any changes now will be scene as palin directed and regardless of how the changes are made, the pissstream media will support with a full throat bark... Everyone else will just shred on them and rightfully so as..

Joe Biden will be just like the Libyan bomber next week and live for years afterwards... just saying

I respect your opinion but, that’s a bit harsh when you’re among FRiends.

The standard, run-of-the-mill Democrat talking points. The usual blather about throwing the middle class and poor under the bus, blah, blah, blah.
