Well, this is a post I did not want to put up, but if I had not, someone surely would have called my attention to this story from HuffPo which resurrects the Hillary-Biden switch scenario - at least in part.

D.C. Coffee House Chatter: Hillary for VP
Posted: 9/25/11 06:22 PM ET
Chatter in the coffee houses of Washington, D.C. is about what President Obama can do to win a second term. The chatter is from Democratic supporters of the president who don't necessarily think his team is following the right path to reelection. It is from Obama Democrats who Hillary's supporters in 2008 said, "Drank the Kool-Aid."
On a recent Sunday morning, a very prominent Democratic insider stated unequivocally, "Mark my words, on the podium in Charlotte, NC on the final day of the Democratic Convention, the hands held high will be that of Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton." Everyone within earshot looked at him and asked, "Is this inside information?" He responded with a resounding NO but then stood by his prediction nonetheless.
So let me get this straight. The very same Obama supporters who yelled in our faces and called us terrible names in 2008 now want our girl to save their failing, ineffectual boy. Is that it? And putting her name on the ballot is supposed to bring back the votes. Do I have that right? They are so dedicated to a failed POTUS that rather than replace him with the competent figure on the horizon, they will take her and use her like a band aid on a festering wound. Is there no extent they will stop at to prop him up?
He has had more than two-and-a-half years to bring about his change. There is no hope. His "style" is to outsource all the hard work. "Bring me a bill I can sign," and then to collapse and fold before Tea Party and GOP demands ... in some cases before the demand is even made (putting the social safety nets on the table before the GOP mentioned them).
Why on earth anyone should want him to have a second term to do further damage I cannot fathom.
I can only end this one way:
Hillary 2012! Top of the Ticket! Yes! SHE can!
