Yea guys threadsh**t all you want but the fact that someone as high up as a Chief of Staff is publicly admitting to having serious discussions about replacing a sitting Vice President is notable.

And no, we didn't know this.

Read this, Mr. Kemp.

And? He just shifted into reverse...

IIRC and I'll find it if need be, David Ploufe (the architect) also denied this.  I have no doubt they talked about it, but I'm not sure how seriously.

So we now take spin at face value?

Ok maybe it wasn't a "serious" notion but let's not act like denials should be taken at face value.

I don't think I was taking anyone at face value.....excessive hyperbole by all sides is the hallmark of politics.
