I believe I read some stuff on NATO, Russia and the Bush Doctrine.

She will not be content with living at Number One Observatory Circle. She wants back in 1600 Penn. <BR/><BR/>Biden's exit would be easy to orchestrate. Twenty years ago, at age 45, he had two aneurysms (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,409941,00.html). The pressures of the campaign, along with the problems his son and brother are having legally (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/23/AR2008082302200.html?dbk) would be enough to push anyone with such a health risk over the top. His health could be used as the excuse to go back to playing conductor on the Metorliner. <BR/><BR/>If that happens, and Hill bows out for '08, then it is anyone's guess as to who will be the pick. It is interesting to note that Intrade has Palin dropping out at 4.9, but Biden is 9.9, up 5.9 points. <BR/><BR/>This is really getting to be fun now.Shofarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797039592108775302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-71126940804702933402008-09-10T22:18:00.000-05:002008-09-10T22:18:00.000-05:00Hey guys.. put down the pipe and stop smoking the ...Hey guys.. put down the pipe and stop smoking the wacky stuff.

I can't imagine - with all the speculation about Palin attracting Hillary voters and swinging the numbers in McCain's favor - this being a good thing for the Republicans.

Hillary would have been an electoral choice, helping Obama crush McCain in the election but stabbing him in the back in office with her eyes on a future run.<BR/><BR/>Obama knew both Hillary and Biden well enough to know how he would get along with them in a governing capacity, and went with his heart. McCain had only met Palin twice and went with what was politically expedient.Vox Populihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174941325997674801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-57049164334940047442008-09-10T20:08:00.000-05:002008-09-10T20:08:00.000-05:00No matter how the Dems try to engineer Biden's exi...No matter how the Dems try to engineer Biden's exit so as to try to avoid the impression that he is being dumped....<BR/><BR/>I have to think that it will be obvious to all that he is being tossed overboard for political reasons.<BR/><BR/>And I wonder if that would be devastating to Obama's candidacy much as it was to McGovern's in 1972.<BR/><BR/>Even if Hillary replaces Biden.<BR/><BR/>I would think that by the time that would happen, Palin will have had another successful rollout (beginning this Friday on 20/20), and Hillary would be standing at the station, watching that train head down the tube.<BR/><BR/>Also, because it's Hillary, who is one of the poster children for obviously crass political calculation, Obama's true nature as a typical Dem politician will be laid bare for even more to see.<BR/><BR/>I just don't see how Obama can make the calculation that dumping Biden for anyone else would do anything but bury him.Covenant60https://www.blogger.com/profile/00778037319510838719noreply@blogger.com
