Is Biden Being Dumped For Hillary?
Normally I wouldn’t mention what looks to be an obvious email fabrication, but I’ve received several emails (you may have too) alleging that a high ranking DNC official (of course) leaked that Senator Joe Biden will cite health concerns, possibly related to an another aneurysm, as his reason for stepping down as the vice-presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket, to be replaced by Senator Hillary Clinton soon after the VP debate.
Such email rumors aren’t uncommon; remember the one in 2004 claiming Bush was about to dump Dick Cheney? And more recently, that McCain was about to replace Sarah Palin? In fact, there hasn’t been such a swap since McGovern did it in 1972 (with disastrous results).
I know, anything’s possible, but I wouldn’t put much stock in the idea. The Dems probably realize that whatever boost they might enjoy with a switch to Clinton could be offset by making Obama seem a weak, indecisive, vacillating presidential candidate.

Has to be a rumor. Obama wouldn't be that stupid. Biden may be a jerk, but this would be disastrous for Obama on many levels.
I would love to see this happen and watch Obama's campaign implode.
Fake!
Why isn't the Hulk running? I would vote for him. Now THAT would be "change"!
I think this must be just a rumor. No one in their right mind would change horses this close to the election.
Want to inject a load of "FUD" into the election? This would do it!
Hulk For President!
Warning to America's enemies:
"Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!"
Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk!
