Biden or bust?
So, I think that Biden will come up with some illness and have to withdraw from the race. Obama will, or may be trying to, get Hillary to be the VP. I think they see this as the only way to save their sinking ship. The question is, will Hillary sign on to be VP? I think she wants the top of the ticket and she will get the chance in 2012 if Obama loses. Just do not be supprised if he backs out for some reason. Let the pandering begin.

DNC Convention
WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton's name will be placed in nomination along with nominee-in-waiting Barack Obama at the Democratic convention in Denver, an emblematic move intended to unite the party after a divisive primary fight.
Democrats will officially nominate Obama at the convention but the state delegations will do a traditional roll call for his vanquished opponent as well.
The arrangement — which the rivals-turned-allies agreed to after weeks of negotiations — is intended to help the Democratic Party heal after a bruising primary while mollifying still-disgruntled Clinton backers and acknowledging the former first lady's groundbreaking presidential run.
"I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton's historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion," Obama, an Illinois senator, said in a joint statement.
Added Clinton, a New York senator: "With every voice heard and the party strongly united, we will elect Senator Obama president of the United States and put our nation on the path to peace and prosperity once again."
Some 35 million people participated in the Democratic primary, and Obama and Clinton said they wanted to "honor and celebrate these voices and votes."
We all know that the Clintons and their followers do not like Obama. Hillary will still try and take the nomination and may well succeed. Obama's poll numbers are falling fast and Hillary will not hesitate to point this out.
Get your popcorn ready. Denver may well be messier and nastier than Chicago in '68.
