Joe Biden To Step Down October 5th- Unproven!

The Truth:  
This is a widely circulated eRumor that started in September, 2008, during the presidential campaign.

There is no source cited and there has been nothing to substantiate it.

The email builds upon hopes that Hillary Clinton could still end up on the Democratic ticket and speculation that presidential hopeful Barack Obama regrets not putting Clinton in the vice presidential slot, especially after the appearance of Sarah Palin as the running mate of Republican John McCain.

Although there are no known grounds for the rumor, it has been noted that nothing about it has appeared on Senator Obama's "Fight the Smears" web site.  That is a portion of his campaign site that was set up to battle Internet rumors that have circulated about Obama, most of which have not been true.

That has led to questions about whether there may be some truth to it.

On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.

There have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info. Generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible. I have already seen a few short blurbs about this - the 'health problem' cited in those articles was aneurysm. Probably many of you have heard the same rumblings.

However, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like this Obama strategy will be a go. Therefore, it seems that the best strategy is to get out in front of this Obama maneuver, spell it out in detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.

So, let's start mixing this one up and cut the Obamites off at the pass - send this info out to as many people as you can - post about it on websites and blogs - etc
