Hill of a ticket
Made popular 403 days ago in Politics
nypost.com — It was a serious mistake, the result of a class-warfare strategy followed to a fault by a zealous Democrat. But inadvertently, one Hilary’s blunder could open the door to the other Hillary’s rise.
We speak of the attack on Ann Romney by Hilary (one L) Rosen. The fallout raises the odds that Hillary (two L’s) Clinton will end up as Barack Obama’s running mate.

Rosen went way over the line carrying out the White House message that Mitt Romney is waging a “war on women.” Rosen’s accusation that Ann Romney “never worked a day in her life” is the biggest unforced error by Team Obama so far.

(Snip)
Rick Santorum suspended his campaign, meaning the general election has started with an Obama goof. Two polls showed Romney with a slight lead even before Rosen chimed in.
For the White House, the irony is as thick as the fog of damage control it spewed. In undercutting one of Obama’s biggest advantages — his lead among female voters — Rosen makes it more likely that Clinton, the political Wonder Woman and still a frenemy of Obama, will be tapped to save the day.

If the economy turns south, and if Mitt Romney makes inroads among women, Obama will have to give the switcheroo real consideration.
The numbers explain why.
According to data compiled by Rutgers University, the number of women voters has been higher than men in every presidential election since 1964. While a majority of men tend to vote Republican, women usually lean Democratic and with bigger numbers. They went for Obama by a huge margin in 2008.
Over 70 million women voted, against 60.7 million men, and women gave 56 percent of their votes to Obama and just 43 percent to John McCain. Men split almost evenly.
By comparison, Democrat John Kerry got 51 percent of a lower turnout among women in 2004 and lost to George W. Bush.

Is Biden going under the bus with the rest of the Obama sacrifical goats?
Yes, but if he gets Hil Clinton he had also better up his life insurance.

Maybe, she is not nearly the clown that Biden is. More evil, yes, but not as prone to gaffes.

No, Obama knows that Biden draws attention away from his disasterous policies where as Hil's policies are much more centrist.
