If not Biden, who in 2012?

By: William Kristol 07/05/11 10:18 PM
Will President Barack Obama replace Joe Biden as his running mate in 2012? I’ve always thought it’s a real possibility. Biden was perhaps useful in bringing experience to the ticket of candidate Obama in 2008, but he does nothing for incumbent Obama in 2012, whereas a fresher and younger face might add some zip and energy to the re-election effort.

By: Susan Ferrechio 03/31/11 8:49 AM
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, threw a bit of cold water on the so-called budget deal the two parties are discussing.
