An Obama/Biden Prediction

Okay, I hit my head on the shower door this morning and had a vision of the future that I thought I’d share with you, just for fun.

Let’s assume that Barack Obama is presently thinking (in light of the Palin wave) that he made a dreadful political mistake in NOT choosing Hillary Clinton for the number two spot and would now like to rectify that error.

Here are three things we know for sure:

1. Biden has been strangely quiet for a few days. 
2. Obama is having a meeting with Bill & Hillary for undisclosed reasons. 
3. Biden said publicly yesterday, “Hillary probably would have been a better choice.”
   

Here’s my prediction for what may occur in the next few days:

Biden will announce that he is voluntarily withdrawing from the ticket “for the good of the party.”  This will protect both his honor and Obama’s honor (though I believe the idea will not have come from Biden).  Hillary will then be named to the number two spot to pull the independent female electorate back away from Palin.

I see two things that could keep this from happening:

1. Hillary may refuse.  After all, as it is, she can run again in four years.  If she joins the ticket she will likely have to wait eight. 
2. Obama’s advisors may talk him out of it, seeing a danger of such a move backfiring by giving the Republicans ammunition for attacking his judgment and decision-making ability. They may also warn him that such a move would even be too jarring for his base.

If Biden resigned, I think it would have WAAAAAY better results for the McCain camp than for Obama's. I think they'll realize that and stand pat.
