Dem's October Surprise? Obama to drop Biden?
Poper:
This came via e-mail and I cannot vouch for the source. Sounds flaky to me, but stranger things have happened and Obama has shown he is able to stoop very low, IMHO. Tried to Snopes this thing, but no luck.

Let me share some info with you that I have gotten from excellent sources within the DNC:
On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.
There have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info. generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible. I have already seen a few short blurbs about this - the "health problem" cited in those articles was aneurysm. Probably many of you have heard the same rumblings.
However, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like this Obama strategy will be a go. Therefore, it seems that the best strategy is to get out in front of this Obama maneuver, spell it out in detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.
So, let's start mixing this one up and cut the Obamites off at the pass - send this info out to as many people as you can - post about it on websites and blogs - etc. etc.
If such a stunt by Obama/Biden/Clinton were to happen, would it be effective? Or would it be seen by the masses for what it is/was?

Interesting that there is a bunch of speculation about both parties dumping thier Veep choices. Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.
Perd Hapley:
I believe Obama will accept an offer to be McCain's VP. They will handily defeat the Palin/Biden ticket.
TommyGunn:
I will believe that Obama will drop Biden when they arrive at the next debate in a black helicopter .......

Actually, if there's ANY chance of this happening, it would be a pretty sharp move by Palin to say, during the VP debate "Joe, I'm really glad you're here . . . there was a lot of nonsense on the Internet saying that you were going to drop out and use ill health as an excuse, just so Obama could put Hillary on the ticket, but nobody would seriously think either you or Obama would be so sneaky and underhanded. Good for you, Joe!"
