Conservative bloggers are having a hard time figuring out which they are enjoying more — Vice President Joe Biden’s latest gaffes or speculation that Hillary Clinton could replace him on the ticket. “Their man has clearly let them down and the inadvertent comedy of Joe Biden screaming that Republicans are going to ‘put y’all back in chains’ isn’t helping.”

 The Chicago Tribune’s John Kass wrote, “Is it too late for President Barack Obama to pick up the phone, call Hillary Rodham Clinton and dump Vice President Joe Biden for playing the race card against Republican Mitt Romney? He’s not even clear in which century he’s living. “The week’s misadventures for Sheriff Joe have some wondering whether he’s medically qualified for the job, and speculation rising anew that the possessor of that hygienic heartbeat may want to find someone else to square off against Paul Ryan in the October debates.”

 Choosing Clinton, Morrissey continued, “might be exactly what Obama needs.” But Morrissey doesn’t think it’ll happen since former Alaska Gov. “Biden’s erratic statements certainly should make Team Obama nervous,” wrote the National Review’s John Fund. “I’ve no doubt that some Democratic strategists would love for Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to swap jobs and bolster the Democratic ticket with a little Clinton magic. But there’s no evidence that Hillary would take that deal. If she wants to run, she is already the front-runner for the 2016 Democratic nomination and would gain no advantage by being yoked to Obama, her old adversary, for the next three months if they lost or the next four years if they won.” 
 
 PJ Media’s Roger Kimball speculated that Democrats are growing weary of Biden, especially this week. It’s likely that by the time this campaign ends, a lot of people will be more nervous about Joe Biden being a heartbeat away from the presidency than about Paul Ryan.
– Joe Biden's "put y'all back in chains" comment has sparked plenty of calls—from Republicans including John McCain and Sarah Palin—for President Obama to boot Biden off the ticket and replace him with Hillary Clinton. But the White House insists there will be no such switcheroo, and spokesman Jay Carney couldn't resist a dig at McCain yesterday, reports Mediaite. "I have great admiration for and great respect for and a long relationship with Sen. John McCain, but one place I would not go to for advice for vice presidential running mates is to Sen. McCain," he said in response to a question from a Fox correspondent. But Obama-Clinton speculation continues at many conservative blogs and a growing number of liberal ones, Politico notes. Many pundits agree that Clinton would give the ticket a boost, but doubt she'd be interested in replacing Biden. "If she wants to run, she is already the front-runner for the 2016 Democratic nomination and would gain no advantage by being yoked to Obama, her old adversary, for the next three months if they lost or the next four years if they won," writes John Fund at the National Review.
