If Obama wins and picks Joe for VP, or Sec. of State.
Then Carney has the appointment to the U.S. Senate seat.
He will not promote Jack for primarying him, and Beau is forbidden by federal election law to be appointed to the seat.
Rumor I’m hearing is that between election day and When Carney is sworn in (presuming he wins) RAM will appoint herself to the seat to hold it for Beau until he returns from serving our country. Your thoughts?
i guess being brilliant means you over think things…my question was will he be too old to run? meaning he will have 46 years of elected experience, and coming off a 46 year old like obama as president, will the trend be for younger presidents?
That’s a different question! I don’t know if there will be a trend toward younger Presidents, but over 70 seems a little old. Maybe because my parents are that age and even they admit that it’s too old.
If Joe Biden is the Vice Presidential nominee, he’ll probably think that he has a good shot against Hillary Clinton for the 2012 Democratic presidential nomination to run against President John McCain. 🙂

National Guard? Minner could have him recalled from active duty, and do the appointment.
I wonder if he could pass the bar exam over there on the first try
*zing*
beau biden being deployed helps beau biden
Bigger scenario?

P.S.
Maybe you could post this as QOD? I’m hearing a strong rumor about this.
If federal law prevents appointing a son – how could it not prevent appointing yourself?
If joe biden became vp for 2 terms and then ran for president he would be 74…would he be too old?
VPs running for President is so 2000! 😉
arthur,
Yes.
If Biden is the VP, he will not run for President in 2016.
Nothing prevents you from appointing yourself to the Senate. But I doubt Minner would do it.
If Minner want to appoint a placeholder, she would appoint Danberg again or someone else.
i love how wingnuts think they are going to use gotcha questions….
I could see artie’s mind working….
OOOOHHHHHH, I know how I can catch these guys in a lie…mmmwwowoooooohahhahahah

Jason, nothing prevents him from appointing his son, Beau is barred from being appointed while on active duty.
It will be Tim Kaine not Biden. That is my fearless prediction which is worth nothing but the 30 sec. it took to type it.
