And if Hillary was the VP choice we would not be having this argument, but her ambition was simply too much, the chemistry between them and with Bill lurking in the shadows would not have meshed.

With Biden, he knows he is VICE Pres., not PRES.

Ok I'm getting annoyed.... Obama/Biden need not be so shaken up by the republican ticket. They need to hammer on with their agenda and let the chips fall where they may. Sarah Palin is a diversion from real issues. And in a few days, she's gonna be old news.

Okay, let's take you all and him at his word. Here's the problem.

If he is telling the truth, then should he not step aside and let Hillary run with Obama?

If he really believes this, then why did he not council Obama to select her instead?

If he does not believe it, then he is lying with a bold and bald face.

If he does believe it, and did not council Obama to select her, then he is not only stupid but a selfish, egotist and scoundrel.

You all think that is refreshing? This guy is less disciplined talking in public than a high school football coach that loves the media.

This is one of the many things I have always liked about Biden - he isn't full of himself.

In this less than one-minute video Biden hesitates — as though he knows he shouldn’t say it — and tells a crowd to their surprise that “Hillary Clinton would have been a better pick for vice president than me”

Video.
This is a preemptive speech so that Biden can come forward and say "I am sick" or some lousy boo-hoo type story and then drop out/get kicked out as VP.

Or maybe this is Obama already starting to push Biden off the ticket.


Either way, If Obama now puts Hillary in the ticket, she will basically run the White House, as this will be sign that Obama is weak and innefective, needing Hillary to "rescue him".

Michelle Obama must be pulling her lovely hairs out right now!! You know how much she just "loves" Hillary.

BIDENs comment was a snide attempt to insinuate that the only reason for Palin was for the woman issue.

Try watching the talk on utube before deciding what he said and why. He even said it sorta under his breath like it was an after thought. yeah right...if it was an afterthought it was calculated.

It's obvious. I think HE's just as mad as OBAMA.
