Pat Buchanan, Eleanor Clift Predict Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden to Swap Roles at White House

Now here's a peculiar prediction, especially considering that it comes two Washington media figures that are consistently on the opposite ends of the political spectrum.

On the July 17 broadcast of "The McLaughlin Group" during the predictions segment, both Newsweek columnist Eleanor Clift and MSNBC political contributor Pat Buchanan made astounding predictions about what the situation would be in a post-2010 election cycle.

"After the Democratic in November, there will be a push to put Hillary Rodham Clinton on the ticket in 2012," Buchanan declared.

One could be skeptical and say Buchanan was just throwing an outrageous prediction out there since he's conservative and opposed to a lot of President Barack Obama's policies. However, his panelist, a very pro-Obama Eleanor Clift agreed.

"And she may trade places with Joe Biden and Joe Biden may be the next Secretary of State," Clift added.

"Exactly," Buchanan added.
