Is the Obama Campaign planning to get rid of Biden?
Google the subject and you will get all kinds of speculation on the subject.
Here is a blog that claims inside info on the subject and suggest a possible "surprise" switch right before the VP debates.

If Obama was to replace Biden he would have to make it appear that he had no choice but to do so and not just that he changed his mind or made a mistake. So it would have to be a "health" emergency or aneurysm scare with Biden.
Remember that last week Obama met with Bill Clinton in a one on one meeting and why was Hillary so quick to get out of an event that put her anywhere near Palin? Also remember the strange comments from Biden last week about how "Hillary might have been a better choice". It all makes for great conspiracy theory talk.
If it was to really happen though, it would be a huge gamble on Obama's part, as it would be so transparent, but to be honest I don't think voters would care. They would look the other way and the democratic base would be so energised that it just might work. However, it could go horribly wrong with voters seeing through it and perceiving deviousness, weakness and or indecisiveness. The race is so close, that I wouldn't think he'd take such a big risk unless he really thought he was going to lose otherwise.
Anyway, this whole election has been so ugly and strange and I question whether either side would do almost anything to win. The nature of politics these days I guess. I see it getting worse every four years and I am afraid that the next presidential election might get so bad that we have fighting in the streets. I feel that violence is possible after this election under the right or should I say wrong circumstances. Ironic since both sides seem to morph more and more into each other. But I will leave that for a future blog. Let's hope that things don't get that bad!!!
What do you think??
