While in New Hampshire, Veep Candidate Joe Biden made the statement that “Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America”, and “She’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America and, quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me”.

Well, those are interesting words from the man recently chosen to be the second in command.

One has to wonder, were these just off handed candid remarks, or are the Dems playing at something here?

If you’ll permit me a moment of indulgence… a theory.

Biden was chosen as the party’s Veep because of all the things he’s not. He’s not different from the norm. He’s not a very provocative figure. He wouldn’t stand out in a crowd of politicans. He’s another older white guy politician.

After Biden is named, the Reps turn around to make their own choice, and in part to capitalize on the disenfranchised Hillary voters, they pick Palin. Their own version of “something different” plus the “women scorned” voters from the Hillary fall-out could be picked off while the wounds of their choice not being anywhere on the ticket are still fresh.

Now Biden says that Hillary might’ve been the better choice. The bitterness of the Primary battle between Obama and Hillary is starting to fade, and the party is uniting.

Something comes up, Biden withdraws from the ticket under whatever pretense makes everyone feel most comfy, and then… Hillary comes back into the fold. In the battle between the two women, Hillary being the more experiences politician and better fighter blazes right past the lighter-weight Palin. Counting on the quality oratory skills of Obama to carry him through McCain, the Dem ticket comes out looking unstoppable and handily picks up the roles of Prez and Veep.

Or, he could’ve just been rambling. Who knows?
