As vice presidential nominees Sarah Palin and Joe Biden prepare to debate tonight, Palin isn’t alone in being the subject of speculation about whether she can or will go the distance. An unsigned e-mail message making the Internet rounds has Biden leaving the Democratic ticket on or around Oct. 5 for health reasons, supposedly to allow Barack Obama to pick either Hillary Clinton or Kathleen Sebelius. That’s far-fetched in the extreme, but as Los Angeles Times blogger Andrew Malcolm put it: “Either one would throw off the Republican strategies and be a potential game-changer.”

Rhonda,
Then it would be good to be after the debates, since Sarah has even more foreign policy experience than the Queen of Kansas.
Are you seriously spreading such easily guffawed rumors on this blog. I put this one down with gusto last week on mine. It started on the Huffington Post. ‘nuf said.
See my blog post for an analysis of this as Democrat Disinformation.
I stand by my original take on adding Sebelius to the Democrat ticket. Rulers of that party think that common people in the U.S. are ignorant bigots. Therefore it is already a stretch to ask them to vote for a black man. Upping the ante to ask them to vote for a black man and a white woman would simply be too much in their eyes.
“An unsigned e-mail message making the Internet rounds ”
Nuff said.
The calls for McCain to dump failin’ Palin are considerably louder and NOT anonymous.
For EITHER candidate to drop their VP would be a disaster. Remember Eagleton?
McCain & Sebelius?? A huge step forward for him!
Obama should select Tina Fey as his running mate. :)
That would make a really fun debate!
I have to admit she does a killer impersonation…I’m sure she wants Mccain to win, it’ll be mean at least 4 years of gainful employment!
What?
Biden the experienced one is predicted to smash Palin tonight.
Now the Press is talking about ditching Biden for a woman?
Remember how the Press pounced on James Watt for saying:
The panel, he said, had “every kind of mix you can have. I have a black, I have a woman, two Jews and a cripple.” And, the Secretary added, “we have talent.”

NOW, the PRESS is, for the sake of diversity, trying to put a politically correct mix of political candidates on the ticket.
In effect the Press is doing the very same thing they criticized James Watt for doing years ago.
Don’t put candidates on the ticket based on their experience or any real credentials, put them on the ticket based upon their sex and skin color.
If the Press could find a black, atheist, lesbian, woman in a wheelchair, they would have their PERFECT candidate.
Yup, the Press and Society as a whole, as truly ‘evolved.’
bth: In what respect, Charlie? :)
Either one ditching their VP’s at this point would be a disaster for their campaigns
That’d be a great idea. Look at how awful the Obama-Biden ticket is doing:

That’s due in large part to the financial crisis, but I’m not so worried about that anymore. You see, I just a got an email from a relative of this Nigerian general needing to get hundreds of millions out the country.
I’m a millionaire now! WHOOPEE!
“I have decided I need to spend more time with my family, especially my genetically-damaged son and my knocked-up daughter. Therefore, I have decided to quit the McCain campaign.”
Rage – I like your map …
DavidB,
It is my considered opinion that you are a total dumb ass. You add nothing of value to this discussion. You make such stupid, pithy little comments that I must question your intelligence. Go back to dailykos or what ever sub human web site you used to hang out at.
Hillary will make her comeback.
If Obama does dump Biden then he clearly wasn’t being honest with the American people when he picked him. Says a lot about him.
