Rumors persist that Biden will step down and Hillary step in

The rumor mill is churning out that Sen. Joe Biden will step aside for medical reasons* and that Sen. Hillary Clinton step in as VP. Never mind that her husband just said yesterday that Hillary never wanted to be Vice President.

Obviously, Sen. Obama wasn't thrilled with the idea either, or he would have picked her. (The thought of a Hillary VP, who only has presidential aspirations, is daunting.) Besides, wouldn't that be the ultimate flip-flop? That Obama couldn't even make up his mind on who to pick for VP?  No, I think Obama is just stuck with Biden and his bloopers. (They have added a unique bit of entertainment to this election.)

Plus, Governor Sarah Palin stole Sen. Clinton's thunder by being the first Republican** woman nominated for VP.

But in politics, you never know what will happen next. Time will tell. 

 

*Not so serious that they keep him out of the senate though. 

**Correction: I did not mean to forget Geraldine Ferraro. She however did not generate the same excitement and anticipation that Palin has as a possible presidential candidate in the next cycle.

My Two Cents   

If this flip-flop happens, it will be the ultimate in bad decisions for a presidential candidate.  How many other bad decisions or choices will Obama make as president???  During this campaign, Obama has repeatedly changed his stance.  He has repeatedly "clarified" his comments.  As president, you don't have the luxury of changing your mind. Can you imagine the behind the scenes bickering between a president and a two-man vice presidency that he didn't even want?

By the way, I think Sarah Palin is the first REPUBLICAN woman nominated as VP.

Kyle's reply: Thanks for the correction!
