I assume you mean Biden will be off the ticket for November? If so, I agree. If it's a close race, Obama has little reason to keep Biden around. Biden adds NOTHING to the Democratic ticket, as Obama is going to win Deleware with or without Biden. The only thing is that dumping the VP appears desperate, and Obama may not want to appear that way. But if they framed it as a health issue for Biden, Obama can claim that he had no choice but to replace him.

I see no reason for keeping Biden. None.

Agree, he has used up his usefulness for the administration.

I'm thinking Hillary might be his choice. Bill is starting to get
involved with Obama's re-election and Hillary is supposed to
resign Sec.of State end of term.

If Obama wants a pick for mass-appeal, Hilary is the logical choice. The downside is that I'm guessing he doesn't like her. His other option is a popular up-and-comer in one of the swing states, in hopes of capturing that state. Obama needs Ohio, Nevada, Wisconsin. There is no reason to keep Biden around, all he is, is a liability.

On the GOP side, I still say Rubio is the best choice, but lately, I've been hearing the name Condaleeza Rice thrown around. In my opinion, that's a superb pick, because she's experienced, brilliant, talented (classicly trained pianist and a world-class figure skater to boot), and a nice lady. Downside is that she's probably too closely tied to the Bush administration, and the nation is still suffering from Bush fatigue. But I really like her.

We've got a real chance in November, and I never thought I'd say that. Not with (1) Obama's cult status, and (2) the way the media is in the tank for him. But even with that, he's done such a God-awful job, he's vulnerable.

I don't know Jim, even if he hated her if he thought he could win, he
would choose her. Then there is 2016 where she would be set for
Presidential election.

Gotta agree on Condaleeza Rice, bright,experienced and above the
fray with class.

I think Obama's cult status is pretty much gone, he let them down
with most of his campign promises, except of course the other pschyics
that can read minds.

She is also semi-Pro choice... which would make her a tough pick for the right. The So-Con's will be up in arms...

I think Hillary will sit for 4 years and then run in '16. It will be BHO-Biden, unless it comes out Biden has the big C or something....
