I think Obama may pick Hillary if he kicks Biden to the curb. There are some stories (after the one you link) that state Biden is staying and Hillary has been passed over again Obama still has about 20 days to change his mind however"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

kelpdiver 2 #3 August 16, 2012 the chances of this are equal to the chances of the Tea Party proposing a 10% hike in the marginal tax brackets. Or of bin Laden rising from the dead with Arab Jesus (aka, Mohammed) I suspect the subject is being pushed in an attempt to deflect some of the hostile attention from the left towards the Ryan pick.

quade 4 #7 August 16, 2012 No. This is just a fantasy cooked up by folks who have nothing better to chat about. The only way Biden isn't Obama's running mate is if Biden keels over.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is far from the sharpest tool in the shed, but then again, neither is Obama (or Romney, or Ryan.) Yes, Biden has foot-in-mouth disease. But Obama was on the law review at Harvard law school. Romney has a joint law/MBA degree from Harvard. Ryan has a BA from Miami University (Ohio). These are very bright guys. I'm not sure where you are coming from with this comment.

kelpdiver 2 #9 August 17, 2012 Quote Do you think Biden is capable of assuming the role of President if something were to happen to Obama? We survived Ford. We had the prospect of Qualye or Chaney for 12 years. (neither were incapable, but Chaneys' view on Presidential reach is not one I'd like to see him have tested further) Biden has been on the leadership side of the DNP for decades. If we were talking about Conyers or Waters, that would be a different matter, but you don't see them in positions of real power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nelson Rockefeller, who was Gerald Ford's appointed VP, was dropped as Ford's running mate in the 1976 election in favor of Bob Dole. Of course the Ford-Dole ticket lost to Carter-Mondale. But it's not quite the same situation as there was never a Ford-Rockefeller ticket--indeed, neither of them were on the ticket in 1972."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lincoln, Jefferson, Grant, and Cleveland also had more than one vice president (and I might be missing others). I was only looking at successful presidential campaigns, so I am not sure about reelection bids that lost. I totally forgot about Ford, as mentioned above. That was such a unique situation in many ways. Several presidents have also served without Vice Presidents for part or all of their term."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
