HILLARY CLINTON TO REPLACE JOE BIDEN?

How afraid are the Democrats of Palin. This afraid -- from Steve

HILLARY CLINTON TO REPLACE JOE BIDEN?

I was the main source on the Internet discussing the story that Hillary Clinton -- early in October, it appears -- would replace Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket.  I stand by this revelation because I believe it's true.  The Houston Post-Chronicle recently printed a story suggesting such a "V-P Switcheroo" could be coming.  One development you've been hearing little if anything about is the effect Sarah Palin's tremendous popularity is having on congressional races.  Because of Palin's popularity, many Obama Democrats are now afraid they may lose their seats.  That has added to the desperation in the ranks of the Party's far-left wing.  Many of the members of Congress most worried are those who truly need their "job" and have been on the federal dole for many decades  Outside Congress, they would essentially be unemployable.  Thus, they despise Sarah Palin because she threatens their livelihoods. 

So, look for a growing number of calls for Obama to: (1) "get tougher" -- to sling more mud and be more negative than he already is; (2) get rid of Biden and replace him with Senator Clinton (or perhaps even someone else). 

I hope all the thousands of bloggers and other onliners who are supporting McCain-Palin will highlight the "Hillary" story.  That's exactly what Obama, Axelrod, Brazille, and Dean don't want you to do.  Discussion will shed light on developments the Obama Campaign would rather spring on Americans at the last moment.  Note: If you start hearing more stories, as we did last week, of Senator Biden's "health issues" (in actuality, he really doesn't have any), you will know the time is drawing nigh for Joe to exit Left. 

My predictions for the Oct. 2 V-P debate (if Joe makes it that far)?  She will mop the floor with him.  His antics and windbag nature will turn off a huge number of women voters.  Sarah will continue to look more "presidential" than Obama.

In the 1972 presidential election, George McGovern named as his V-P pick Senator Thomas Eagleton (a fine man, by the way).  Then it came out that Eagleton had once undergone electro-shock treatments for depression.  Calls came in from Party leaders to get Eagleton off the ticket.  Senator McGovern famously said he was behind Eagleton "100% -- no, 1,000 percent.  The next day McGovern dumped Eagleton, replacing him with Sargent Shriver (JFK's brother-in-law). 

In November, 1972, McGovern lost 49 states.   

Keep in mind the date October 5 (three days after the debate) in mind. :-)

I've heard this rumor for a while, but I didn't really take much stock in it. However, you raise some valid points and I really wonder whether something like this scenario is in the works.

One thing that I considered after reading this piece is how it will affect Hillary personally. It's awfully difficult to pin the Clintons to anything because they are very calculating in a political sense.

I see as many reasons for Hillary refusing the offer as much as I see them for Hillary accepting. If she accepts, it could very well propel Obama to a narrow victory (right now I see McCain winning by at least 5-6%). That would definitely help the Democrats in the short term.

However, does it help Hillary in the long term? She's in her early 60's right now and if Obama gets two terms, she'll be in almost the same position that McCain is right now, agewise.

In addition, a VP replacement at this point also opens Obama up to the charge that he's indecisive, something that will not help his campaign (I mean, if he can't make a decision for VP, then what will he do in a truly serious situation?).

It is entirely possible that Obama would risk it, and I would agree with you that if it does happen, it'll be after the VP debate.

How can any Hillary supporter support Sarah Palin? I am stumped. Her policies are the complete opposite of Hillary's for the most part. Even if you take away the lies and rumors, there are a LOT of problems with Sarah Palin. She is attractive but the power is an illusion. The McCain camp controls everything she does. And just for a refresher, here are the problems: lack of wildlife protection, backwards climate change views, extreme right (more right than some Muslim countries) abortion stance, possible cronyism, lies about the bridge and earmarks, the Troopergate investigation, attempt to ban books, rumored attempts by her church to "convert" gays, lack of eduction and informed world view, etc. I just don't see how any of you who were for Hillary can be for this woman. It makes no sense.

I agree with Matt. How can you cut off your noses to spite your faces when it is presumably your core values and principles that propelled you to support Hillary Clinton? Are you so bitter that you would rather sacrifice the economic and social interests of yourselves and your families just because Hillary isn't the nominee? It is sad. If McCain/Palin win, we will have you to thank and you will have no one to blame but yourselves. And we wonder why women are always referred to as too emotional and lacking good judgment and reason...wow, maybe they're right.

The stategy to replace Biden with Hillary on or about October 5th is Obama's "bait and switch" technique. Notice the speeches that Biden has commented that Hillary is better qualified....and he has also referred to his health problems. Biden is setting the stage for Hillary's appearance on the ticket which will be after the Oct. 2 debates........from sources within the DNC

Apparently the Demecratic party didn't have much faith in Clinton to start with and now they see their chances slipping away and will try whatever they can to win. The Democratic party isn't thinking about the this country they just want to keep all their cozy jobs. McCain/Palin might not be the best choice but Obama/? is definitely not the right choice for America. We as a nation cannot have an undecisive party running this country. Palin has more experience than Obama in the first place. Besides, experience in the Congress or Senate now days is bad experience, and we don't need bad experienced leadership we need new leadership! Someone that is going to help break bad habits. I can't believe that people Dem or Rep would even consider putting a Muslim in charge of our good old "In God We Trust" nation.

This rumor of Obama being a Muslim is still going around? Really? The problem with blogs and forums is that stupidity really travels fast. Just sickening.

I'm not for the Republican ticket this time around, but even if I was, I would make sure I was informed about what is true and what isn't. I know it's easy to just spew out what your talking circles say but take it a step farther and check things out before spreading wrong information.

Oh My goodness, How on earth would you want to vote for Hillary and NOT Sarah Palin. We need a woman who is not afraid to stand up to the issues. This nation needs to turn back to the roots that this country was founded on. IN GOD WE TRUST. Yes we need pro life, yes we need to turn gays around, yes we need a whole lot of what this woman has to offer and obtain. How can people be more concerned about WILDLIFE and NOT HUMAN LIFE!!!!
WOMEN STAND UP AND BE COUNTED.
YES IN GOD WE TRUST AND IT IS GOD WHO HAS CHOSEN SARAH PALIN TO BE EXACTLY WHERE SHE IS AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

If you listen to video's from OBAMA himself he clearly states he IS A MUSLIM...ooops and then says oh um Christian. I have never stumbled in stating what faith I am.

[Barry James Brown]

Gee... why would we wonder if the son of a muslim with not 1, or 2, but 3 muslim names that attended a muslim school ... MIGHT .. be a muslim. But, who cares if he favors muslimism, he attended the hate-whitey church for 20 years! So which is it, muslim or hate-whitey. You choose, regardless, this man has no business in the White House.

Hillary is a woman role model for many of us, a woman of decision and take up arms, enterprising, industrious, hardworking, intelligent, I congratulate you on your work and political weight.
