obama supposedly needs biden this time around for the foriegn policy/security experience- but that would be a moot point for a sitting president, and biden will be 70 years old.
having hillary run as veep at that point could then put in her in great position for 2016- although she'll be 69 at that point- but women generally age better/live longer than men do.

8. i wouldn't see him as being all that interested in a 2016 run at age 73.
74 if he were to take office.

2. Maybe Joe would like to be VP for another 4 years? Maybe Obama
would prefer that too?

19. i'm sure that your boss will be happy to hear that.
i certainly hope that you're not driving a vehicle in my neck of the woods...
and i assume that all of your bills are on autopay?

btw- what good does thinking about nothing but 11/08 really do? doesn't it ever get even a little bit boring? :shrug:

10. Unless Biden has health problems
I see him in the VP role of Dick Cheney (well, what Dick was supposed to be)... that is, a steady counselor to the President who doesn't really see himself as running for the office.

I expect 8 years of Obama / Biden and then a free for all again.

OTOH, Joe seems pretty energetic for an "old guy" right now, so who knows?

13. Biden Isn't Much Older Than Hillary
He was born in 1942...Hillary in 1946...Joe was elected to the Senate at 29...many of us think he's old because he's been in the Senate forever. However, even after 4 years, he'll be 69...still younger than Gramps...and in 2016, he'll be 74...and while I don't think he'll want the top job at that age, it's still the same age as Raygun in his second term.

Right now I'm more concerned about winning him and Senator Obama a FIRST term.

Cheers...

18. hillary was born in 1947. and women generally outlive/outlast men.
just look at mcshitheads mother at 95- there's no way he's going to be that lucid if he gets anywhere near that age.

16. What is with this Hillary obsession anyway?
We have more important things to worry about like taking the criminals in the White House out of circulation.
Distracting people with an imaginary election 4 years hence when this election hasn't happened yet is counter productive. To say nothing about the very real possibility of them stealing this election again.
