Sarah Palin and John McCain to President Obama: Drop Joe Biden For Hillary Clinton!
by Free Britney at .One of the political world's favorite rumors received fresh legs after both Sarah Palin and John McCain openly encouraged President Barack Obama to drop V.P. Joe Biden from the Democratic ticket in favor of Hillary Clinton.
McCain and Palin, the Republican 2008 ticket, both brought it up this week after Biden's controversial speech in Danville, Va., during which he told a crowd that a Mitt Romney presidency would "put y'all back in chains."
Although he predicted it would not happen, McCain said it would be wise for Obama to take the Vice President off the ticket and replace him with Clinton.
"I think it might be wise to do that but it's not going to happen obviously, for a whole variety of reasons," McCain said in an interview on Fox News.
"I'm not sure if I were [Clinton] I would want [that] ... I think her ambitions frankly are for 2016 and I'm not sure that would enhance that likelihood."
McCain's former running mate Palin has called openly for a Biden-Clinton swap, though she hopes it won't happen, as it would help Democrats win.
Of the "chains" quote controversy, McCain said Biden "continues to say things that are unacceptable in American politics," and "crossed the line" this time.
"Yet he seems to get away with it because it's always sort of a joke," McCain said.
The Biden-Clinton rumor surfaced earlier this year with Obama struggling mightily in polls and some suggesting it would reinvigorate his reelection bid.
What do you think? Should Obama drop Biden for Clinton?

@EYESLIKELIGHTNING- Couldn't you just see Joe Biden as President! His John Gotto Italian Pinstripe suit. Cuban Cigar, Hair greased back with a Gold Rhinestone studded PIMP CUP on his desk. Standing at the podium giving his world famous evangelistic speech! Meanwhile OBAMAS only giving interviews to people magazine and othe celebrity magazines. His own white house reporters can't get a word. I honestly beleive this clown believes he can actually get to election day without talking about the economy.
