#1 More than the Beast, it is Bill who wants the access, the power. Once the dog has tasted the delicacies of the chicken house, he's doomed.

#3 I don't think she wants it. Not with Champ, at least...

She'd do it. If she can stay married to Bubba she can do anything.

#4 Not a big fan of Biden, but did any of you read the story?
It's like anything else. Until you've been where he's been, and I have, you won't understand where he's coming from. For once, Joe nailed it pretty good.

#5 Eating your own foot does not count.

At any rate, if he is going to get thrown under, there are at least two contentions:
1. It would prove as a mistake for Champ, having to admit he is fallable.
2. Hillary! has said as much she is done; also a number of the foreign policy wtfs have been placed on her rightfully or wrongfully. She is not the force she was in '08 even if an improvement over Uncle Joey.

#6 I believe Team Obama will insist on keeping Biden, because BO needs a foil. A harmless old man succumbing to senile dementia is about the only type who won't steal BO's thunder. The contrast of Hillary would shine a spotlight on his incompetence.

#7 tu3031, yes I agree, but also remember the crocodile tears in his debate performance.

If they want to replace the veep, the only option to do so without loss of face to Champ is to create him so emotionally unstable as to have no other choice; for his own good dontchyaknow?

#8 Joe could always clutch his chest.

Or, more believably, his head.

#9 Vice President Biden is the only real politician of the bunch. They need his instincts, the kind that would lead him to tell such a personal story to exactly the people who needed to hear it. Our esteemed secretary of state has no such instincts, and I don,t see her husband coaching her behind the scenese to help the man who kept him from returning to the White House.

#10 Hillary will be blamed for Obamas loss if she signs on to be vp. Biden would not be a seikus candidate next go around if Obama loses. Few vps actully go on to winon their own. Hiary would be a fool to accept the position.

4 to 8 years from ow she will be the only name in the game. Mitt will have done the dirty work required to fix thd economy and tbe American people will be tired of him. She will allow herself to be drafted at that point.
