Will Obama Pull an Eagleton?
That's the question this story has some (jokingly) asking.
Joe Biden said Wednesday that Hillary Clinton “might have been a better pick than me” to be Barack Obama’s running mate.So are they considering the Geraghty Scenario?The Delaware senator was responding to an audience member at a town hall meeting in Nashua, N.H., who criticized Clinton and said it’s a good thing Obama chose Biden over her.
“Make no mistake about this, Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Lets get that straight,” Biden said in Clinton’s defense.
“She’s easily qualified to be vice president … and quite frankly, might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate. I mean that sincerely. She is first rate. So let’s get that straight,” he said.
Unlikely, for a very simple reason. Replacing Biden would be an admission on Obama's part that he made the wrong choice. From what I've seen of The One, the next time he admits he was wrong will be the first.

I'm picturing Hillary snickering over in the corner watching all this going on.
Just watching, just waiting.
