Will Biden Leave the Ticket?
September 10th, 2008
After reading this report I’m not so sure it isn’t under discussion.
ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe reports: Sen. Barack Obama’s, D-Ill., vice presidential nominee, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., Wednesday said that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., might have been a better pick for the position than him.
At a rally in Nashua, N.H., a man in the audience told Biden how glad he was that Obama picked him over Hillary, “not because she’s a woman, but because, look at the things she did in the past.”
“Make no mistake about this,” Biden responded. “Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight.”
I’m telling you, the polls must look bad for Obama. He seems desperate and this is a gentle way to ease Biden out for Clinton. But won’t it look transparent?

I really don’t mean to laugh..but.
Yes, it will look transparent to some of the electorate but to those who supported Hillary this may give them reason to move back to the Democratic ticket.
This has been the strangest presidential election in a very long time. More twists and turns and rumors than most I can remember.
We’ll just have to wait and see I suppose but I do hope that the tickets stand and there is no further disruption in this election.
Probably much ado out of nothing here.
Senator Biden’s lines were probably taken out of context.
Or – maybe Senator Biden stole the lines from someone else.
