What are the chances Obama is becoming nervous enough to switch VPs? If he did, would it be political suicide or mad genius?

No way, don't be silly. He made a good choice even though I am a disgruntled Hillary lover. For the good of everyone, I have jumped onto the Obama-Biden bandwagon and will support them.

In MHO, it would be political suicide! I'm assuming you are thinking he would then ask Hillary to be his VP?
As an Independant, leaning right, I would only see it as even more unstable for the Democrats than I do now. I watched and listened while Obama and Hillary went at each other. For him to change his mind and partner with her now? I don't think it would be a good call.

I think it would be a big mistake and may portray him as undecisive or weak in his decision making.

He blew it by blowing off Hillary and picking a man that is the epitome of everything people hate about Washington - blowhard, capped teeth, hair plugs and eye lift.

I would have to believe that the idea has passed through the Dems' minds more than once.

Say they put it all on Biden, made him the fall guy by him saying he opted out, not Obama changing his mind. Same outcome?

Biden's little statement yesterday was intentional. If he steps down for the GOOD OF THE NATION, he can be a hero. The seed has been planted for such a move.

Is that why I love his smile? I always thought he had a killer smile. Hey, I like Biden, I always have. Even though he's a Washington type, I think he's mostly a stand up guy, with a few snafus here and there. But, in general, I'm glad he's on the ticket.
