>>>Anyone else seeing an analogy here between Obama 08 and McGovern 1972? If he gets desperate enough, like 10 points+ down in the polls, do you think Biden wold resign for personal reasons and Hillary be placed on the ticket? I'm thinking it's a real possibility.

But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight."

I would much have preferred Hillary over Obama for defense and national security and foreign relations. I really would like the world to view us in a better light but I have more confidence that Hillary would protect our nation's interests than I do Obama. If the world prefers Obama then the world can have Obama...
