Wanted: Food Taster for Joe Biden

I have been camping for a week. No papers, no radio - Loved it... but, back at it now.

It has gotten interesting since the Palin pick. It appears to me that BHO is in a big sort of trouble. The Conservatives are jazzed. The feminists are looking at Sarah going - hey, yah - you CAN be a mommy and a working woman. Of course, they are pissed it took the Republicans to make this move. And after watching the Dems diss on Hill - they are doubly pissed.

Biden was a 'safe' choice for BHO, at the time. But, now, Sarah has become the game changer. You can sense the Libs are in an abject panic. They tried attacking Sahah (still will) - but you get the sense they know it was a lost cause. You had BHO defending his experience against that of Sarah. But, of course, he is not running against her - or at least he shouldn't be.

A friend of mind postulated that BHO may throw Joe under the bus (Gramma, is there still room under there?) and replace him with Hillary. Now, this struck me as highly unlikely, but.... It would shake the race back up. It might bring back some of the Hillary supporters. Though, after everyone knows she is not his first choice - one suspects it might not have the desired, positive, effect. It would work (maybe) to quash the 'feminist' gap. It could re-ignite the excitement on the Dem side - after the Sarah pick sucked all of the Oxygen out of the race.

But, I don't think she would do it. Why? Well, if she sees BHO going down in flames, why help him out? She wants to run for POTUS is 2012 - she would not want to prop him up. Unless...unless she thinks she could unseat him somehow. What could do that? Well - the way 'under-reported' flap about BHO's country of birth, his phony birth-certificate, his adoption by an Indonesian citizen. Anything that brings doubt on his being a 'natural born citizn)--> THAT would the potential of causing a Constitutional 'crisis'. If Hill thought it was REALLY strong enough to actually unseat BHO and launch her directly to the top --- maybe, long-shot maybe she does it.

So, if you see Joe suddenly check into rehab, develop a sudden case of food poisoning, or have an un-explained 'family crisis', or a plane, or car crash (Ted Kennedy, call your office) in the next 60 days --- you will know Hill thinks she has the goods on BHO and is making her move.

Otherwise - look for Hill to have a good seat to watch the BHO campaign go up in flames.

Went camping eh? Well you missed the greatest convention ever. From Fred Thompson letting the poor bastards know there's a damn good reason why they are poor abd to quit complaining about it, to Sarah Palin who showed the courage to mock "community organizing" (organizing poor people, what a dumb idea that is)and stand-up for teenage pregnancy (finally we have someone telling its ok to be 17 and pregnant so long as you plan to marry and have the baby), to our fearless leader John McCain who understands that war is the only way to maintain our supremacy. By the by, it was excellent to see McCain stick it to Obama about being a meverick. After all it was McCain who was the one who set the mark about being different and it doesn't matter that he agrees 90% of the time. Its the ten percent that counts.

Go McCain/Palin!
