Bill Kristol still pushing Hillary to replace Biden as Obama's VP

Still amazes me that the right is still pushing for Hillary to replace Biden as VP, claiming Biden ultimately hurts Obama while Hillary would help. I'm also so overwhelmed that Kristol would actually try to help Obama, (snark).

Hey Bill, give it a rest buddy, it ain't gonna happen.

on numerous occasions. In fact, he's been reliably wrong about almost everything; I'm just amazed that he is ever asked by anybody for his opinion on any topic at all. Why he hasn't been laughed right off the face of the earth is beyond me.

will not work but it does debase Biden just because a replacement, and a woman at that, it mentioned time and time again.

in Juneau, Alaska. Standard editors William Kristol and Fred Barnes then lunched with Governor Sarah Palin ... Kristol appeared on Fox News on June 30, 2008, confidently predicting that McCain would select Sarah Palin and as a public display of support, oil prices would miraculously fall ...

Hillary has forgotten more in one morning while sipping coffee than most of them has learned in a lifetime.
