It seems World Net Daily is over a month behind the rest of us, eh? …. that’s very unlike Joe. But glad they’re finally catching up. Actually didn’t see anything new in their “breaking” story that Steve Diamond hasn’t already brought out on his website over a month ago.

JERUSALEM – In spite of Sen. Barack Obama’s claims to the contrary, the Democratic presidential nominee had a close working relationship with former Weathermen terrorist leader William Ayers when the two served alongside each other on a hundred-million-dollar education foundation, according to the group’s own archived records.

The records also show Obama’s and Ayers’ foundation granted money to radical leftist activist causes.

You see this rumor of Hillary replacing Biden isn’t new. I first got that email back on Sept 10th-11th. Scott did a post on the long shot of it happening on the 10th.

But Texas Fred’s opinion that Hillary “would literally jump at the chance to step into the VP slot, that is a known fact, regardless of what she or her husband say” is pure conjecture on Fred’s part, and I think without sound political backroom strategy. I am curious as to how he can state what Hillary feels with such convictions. Especially when Teflon Bill’s making the rounds announcing differently to a large audience.

Remember, if Obama is to let Biden go, he has to have Hillary safely in his pocket first. That means negotiations have to be going on now. Bill’s interview does not suggest this to be the case.

My own opinion is also conjecture. But I’m assuming that when Bill Clinton says Hillary wasn’t particularly thrilled about being Obama’s running mate, he’s speaking the truth. And I believe that. The Clinton’s aren’t back seat kind of people…

The other is the political reality that if Obama loses this, the DNC will not rerun him in 2012. And unless something major comes down between now and 2010-11, Hillary would be the likely shoe in.

Does she want to relegate herself to the back seat in the WH to possibly 2016, and depend upon the DNC winning a third term? Or would she like to see Obama fail by his own hand and judgment, and walk away with a good shot at the driver’s seat in 2012.

Nope… Hillary’s not literally leaping at a veep spot.

What the real question is, if Obama tries to back her into the corner as his and the DNC “saviour” with a last minute offering, can she dodge it without appearing the spoiler?

I think this is just a rumor as well, but if they are stupid enough to try to pull it off, I think it will hurt Obama’s campaign more than it will help it. People aren’t THAT stupid – they’ll see right through him.
And I also agree that if Biden SHOULD step down, he should also step down from his seat in the Senate.

While I doubt he’d pick Hillary, or that Hillary would agree (hang… she’d be in better shape if Obama lost), there might be someone out there that can re’stimulate their base.
