Apparently Hugh Hewitt has the inside dirt on what's going to happen in 2012; Vice President Biden will be replaced on the ticket because 99% of the public see him as:
... the permanently discounted, the immediately dismissed.
Let's just assume that Mr. Hewitt received his polling numbers from the local teabagger chapter in his neighborhood and move on to the more important point. When it comes time for President Obama to pick Biden's replacement, what would be the most important thing to have on his/her resume?
Which brings us to the most interesting question of all: If you are a Democratic senator or governor nursing the dream of being asked to replace Slow Joe on the ticket in three years, do you vote for Obamacare or work for its passage if you don't have a vote?
Or do you cast a no vote, take some heat, but put down a serious marker that distinguishes you as someone who saw it coming and tried to help the president by preventing the passage of the bill that became a political burden of enormous weight? [...]
Obamacare is splitting the Democratic Party before our eyes, but the most interesting ramifications from September's votes won't be who isn't invited to the White House in late 2009 but who is invited in 2012. The short-term pain of a "no" vote now could bring independent Democrats valuable political capital for years to come.
You would be hard pressed to find a more ham-handed example of concern trolling. Anywhere.
And kudos to Politico for offering Hugh Hewitt the platform to spread this nonsense. It's very fair and balanced of them.
