Is Rodham-Clinton Still in the Mix?

Ticket to Run


I awoke in the middle of the night and listened briefly to the radio to a discussion about Senator Hillary Rodham-Clinton on a late night talk show. The host and guest were speculating about whether Hillary might be inserted into the struggling Obama-Biden Democratic Presidential ticket.

It was reported this week that Senator and Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden told a campaign audience this week that she (Rodham-Clinton) was a better candidate to be either VP or President. Is he preparing to quit the race in light of all the apparent excitement generated by the GOP vice presidential candidate? There may be something there. After all, Biden got 9 K votes compared to 18 M for Rodham-Clinton.

I predict that Biden will resign by the end of September and that Obama will request that Rodham-Clinton join him as Vice President. The good news for Obama is that it increases his chance on winning the election, but the bad news for Obama is that it also increases his chances of not completing his term if elected.
