I am starting to hear rumors of an October surprise of massive proportions. the rumors are being fueled by Joe Biden canceling campaign appearances to deal with an illness in his family. The rumor is that Biden is about to step down with Hillary Clinton to replace him.
No matter how unlikely what would your opinion of such a move be? I think Obama would be making a mistake of seismic proportions. He's in the cat bird's seat. To use a sports analogy he is up by a field goal with two minutes left to go in the game, McCain has no time outs and Obama has the ball. If his VP is replaced that would be like carelessly passing the ball instead of running the clock out and winning the game. Such a move would have to be seen as one in unneeded desperation.
