Book: Obama's Inner Circle Wanted To Dump Joe Biden For Hillary Clinton!

A book that's coming out this month will take certainly have the folks in Washington, DC talking.

Double Down recaps the 2012 Presidential Campaign.

There's a claim by the members of the president's election team that if they were going to win, they thought about dropping Vice President Joe Biden for then secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

The president however rejected the notion of having this happen. But it was talked about, though!

When Biden stole the thunder out of the president's awaken, Obama had to make a swift endorsement of gay marriage.

Also in this book there were reservations in the perennial loser Mitt Romney campaign. Before he picked Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan for the Republican ticket, he was concerned about New Jersey governor Chris Christie mainly because of his potential for scandals and his weight.

A potential bestseller.

According to John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, they set the national conversation on fire with their bestselling account of the 2008 presidential election, Game Change. In Double Down, they apply their unparalleled access and storytelling savvy to the 2012 election, rendering an equally compelling narrative about the circuslike Republican nomination fight, the rise and fall of Mitt Romney, and the trials, tribulations, and Election Day triumph of Barack Obama.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews with the people who lived the story, Heilemann and Halperin deliver another reportorial tour de force that reads like a fast-paced novel. Character driven and dialogue rich, replete with extravagantly detailed scenes, Double Down offers a panoramic account of a campaign at once intensely hard fought and lastingly consequential. For Obama, the victory he achieved meant even more to him than the one he had pulled off four years earlier.

In 2008, he believed, voters had bet on a hope; in 2012, they passed positive judgment on what he’d actually done, allowing him to avert a loss that would have rendered his presidency a failed, one-term accident. For the Republicans, on the other hand, 2012 not only offered a crushing verdict but an existential challenge: to rethink and reconstitute the party or face irrelevance—or even extinction. Double Down is the occasionally shocking, often hilarious, ultimately definitive account of an election of singular importance.
