The inimitable Ms. Palin provides campaign advice to The One:
Sarah Palin has said that Joe Biden’s controversial ‘put y’all back in chains’ comment should be the ‘nail in the coffin’ for his career and suggested Barack Obama replace him on the 2012 ticket with Hillary Clinton.
She added that she hoped Obama would not take such a step because ‘an Obama/Clinton ticket would have a darn good chance of winning’.
She's right - Obama would get Hope, Change, and the Clinton money machine. Of course, Bill and Hillary would upstage Obama and dumping Biden would be an admission that picking Biden was, hmm, not a mistake, no, not at all, but a brilliant choice for a very different time. And now Hillary is an equally brilliant choice for these new times because Team Obama is utterly out of ideas and their campaign message of "Vote For Obama Because He Can't Work With Republicans And Doesn't Want To" has not caught traction.
It was an appalling statement. Especially since there is a tremendous amount of evidence and express declarations supporting the more accurate statement that Dems have sought to keep minorities in chains via education and other destabilizing policies. And now they are coming after anything that creates independence in US citizens.
Shame at so many levels.

Sununu on FOX giving kudo's to Doug Wilder for saying that Biden's racist comment is racist. Excellent.
Sununu says that the comments were intentional and congratulates Wilder for saying that the comment was intentional.
Sununu says that it is no mystery that Obama is justifying the comments of Biden. Says Obama wants those racist comments out there because he's basically got nothing else.
Nice job Sununu.

Juan Williams on FOX this instant says he will not denounce the Biden comments. Sez he hears no racist undertones in that Biden comment at all.
Says that Romney mentioning "shackles" sounds the same.
He says "the Repub party is a White Party."
The opposing gal says Juan you are wrong to equate "shackles on the economy" with Biden's "chains" comment.
Juan now says something against Ryan about Medicare and both the Host and the opposite guest both immediately retort and answer that what Juan Williams is saying is untrue.
So just a question of minimal importance today:
Is Juan Williams simply ignorant and believes what he says, or is he smart than that and spouts what he knows is false in order to help his political side?
Me personally, I think Juan Williams is stupid. Without question he is cocked and loaded to spout Dem talking points but I think he is seriously stupid enough to believe what he spouts. So I don't hit him for venality , but I do hit him for stupidity.

The owner of the "Eat My Pie" desert seller was on FOX this morning explaining why she would not accept Food Stamps for her desert pies. Very well spoken, confident and courageous. Sounds exactly like any of you JOM gals here.
Suspect she will take an awful lot of incoming, but she did an excellent job of justifying why she did not want US Taxpayer money used to purchase her desert pies. Said those should be used for more nutritious products, available at the food market she works at, and and where she is legally allowed to accept or to not accept Food Stamps.
Nice job gal. I think Chick-Fil-A has awakened a beast.

Posted by: J.R. | August 16, 2012 at 08:06 AM
Biden's "chains" remark wasn't a gaffe, like yesterday's "20th century". It was a spur of the moment bit of red meat he tossed out (imo at the spur of the moment) while looking down and to his right at a group of wildly enthusiastic African American supporters gathered there. It was unscripted and stupid, but Obama's "You didn't build that" was scripted and much more stupid.

CCal,
Thanks for that excellent link about the Bakery deciding to not accept Biden's patronage, and the Secret Service boys saying in effect "nice job'. Seems like that meme of bravery is catching.
Even better, when I first clicked on your link it was an Anti-Romney ad criticizing Romney for earning $20 Million from some Bain deal but only personally paying 14% in Taxes---which immediately undercuts Harry Reid's attack that Romney hasn't paid taxes.
I can't currently get the ad to reappear, but if any of the rest of you do and it contradicts Reid's Talking Points, please give the particulars. I will keep trying to get it to pop up again.
Posted by: daddy | August 16, 2012 at 08:24 AM
At least Biden's advance team sought the bakery owner's permission before showing up. The owner of the IA State Fair beer tent Obama used as an unannounced photo op claims that pr stunt cost him $25,000 in lost business. Obama couldn't care less, as shown by his tendency to pull these stunts and leave without paying.

Dumping Biden at this point would be seen as an act of desperation. They could make some medical excuse, but no one would buy it. Whatever damage Biden can cause (probably not much at this point, it's all been done already), replacing him would be worse. Of course he should be replaced for the good of the country, but if Barry cared about that he would not be running.

Per exit 2008 polling, the Party ID skew was 44D,37R, 18I. The skew for this poll was 50D, 37R, 12I. In 2008 Independents went for Obama by 58/39. This poll has Independents going for Romney by 46/26.
The poll reports Obama with a 5 point lead in Pennsylvania. Reality reports a tie with an edge to Romney.

An excellent portion from this first link:

Obama: "It's like somebody goes to a restaurant, big steak dinner, Martini, all that stuff, and then, just as you're sitting down they leave.."

If you thought you could oppose one black guy on the ticket without being a racist . . . well, now we gots two.
"I didn't leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left me"
--stuff Colin Powell (will have) said
All of a sudden, military experience would be the most important thing to have on a presidential ticket. And the media would make sure that you darn well know it.
Sure Powell is 75, but Cheney looked like he was 85 by the time he left office.

After 10 months of stitching together evidence on the firm’s demise, criminal investigators are concluding that chaos and porous risk controls at the firm, rather than fraud, allowed the money to disappear, according to people involved in the case.

I like all the Biden to be replaced stuff. It's great to push the meme that Obama's campaign is in disarray, floundering, desperate.
But I certainly don't want Biden to leave.
So, I think we need to devise a very substantive-sounding, legal-constitutional (seemingly) based argument that if Biden leaves the ticket past the formal nomination deadline, Obama is required legally to put the person next in line of presidential succession on the ticket.

Palin's statement is designed to keep the spotlight on Biden. Obama won't replace him on her advice and she knows it. But it certainly doesn't help the Dem ticket to have everyone talking about what a moron the VP is, especially when everyone is already talking about what a badass the Repub VP candidate is. It also counters some of the negative attention on Ryan coming from the Dems.
Lastly, it's a teensy weensy flip of the bird to those (on both left and right) who got the vapors at the notion of VP Palin when she was introduced to the world four years ago.

I don't think Biden will go to State. I think it will be announced that Obama has insisted that Biden be available in Obama's second term in a special advisory role. Whether or not Obama-Clinton prevails, the Dems will find a nice sinecure job for Biden. I don't know who will be the new Sec. of State. I can't see Kerry resigning his Senate seat to take the Sec. of State job now, given the uncertainty that there will be a second Obama term. Perhaps Colin Powell will agree to step in as Sec. of State.

Palin is one of the right's most prominent intellectuals, so when she speaks it's probably a good idea to listen to her.
All this is moot because once Team Obama rolls out their new ad with Paul Ryan talking about his plan to turn Medicare into a voucher program and Swiss Mitt claiming he'd sign that shit in a heartbeat(compounded by the new lower Tax rate for Millionaires and Billionaires)...... it's over.
Let Mitt and Paul stumble over what plan they're bringing to the Whitehouse, the only thing the electorate will believe is the Original Ryan scarefest. He's right...we need this debate.

I don't think Obama will replace Biden - especially not with Hillary. I don't see Hillary running for elected office (or considered for a position requiring confirmation (?)(someone is bound to misconstrue that)). The VP debate is on foreign policy. It would be fun to watch Hillary squirm trying to position herself for 2016 by distancing herself from Obama's foreign policy whilst avoiding The Full Booker. It would be more fun watching Obama trying to deal with questions about why he took Palin's advice. Again.
A Ryan/Clooney debate would be . . . interesting . . . but Maureen Dowd should moderate. Grayson would "win" a Ryan/Grayson debate, not only by Sheen's Standards but because Grayson would not only repeat himself more often, but he would also be louder and more offensive. Isn't that "winning" in LeftyWorld?

In addition to Hillary's private meeting, the Daily Caller has this:
Obama, Biden to share lunch after two days of gaffes - TheDC

Dick kept saying today that the tea party guy who was supposed to win accd to the polls lost to Tommy Thompson.
I don't recall any of that.

I don't know why the obvious answer hasn't occurred to anyone yet...Michelle Obama will graciously step in to fill Biden's shoes.
Actually, Sue, I suggested it a couple days/threads ago, since Obama was complaining about how FLOTUS doesn't get a salary - and elevating her to VP would cure that.

Sue, what happened to Nolan Ryan's Express Train? Derailed by the Bronxies! I hope it's only a temporary setback, and the 2012 will be the Year of the Rangers!

I wonder if they will be having lunch at Katie's Restaurant.

No, I don't think, Hovde was ahead of Thompson, at any time, henry would know
Sabato should just change his name to Vizzini
and be done with it;

C,
Well see? Great minds do think alike.
TC,
Don't talk to me about them right now. I'm sulking.

The trustee for MF Global sent us a check this week. He says we've been paid 80% of our account, but it's actually 50%.

It appears that once again, Obama 'didn't know the facts' but decided to comment anyway:
Obama: Gee, maybe Biden could have phrased it differently
Can we question his judgement now?

Of course they get their own cublicle at Minitrue;

This is the guy they sent to look for the "Vaporized" money? Looks like he is carrying on the "Vaporizing".

If Hillary wanted to be VP she would already have the job. She chose SofS.
