I'll vote for an Obama/Edwards ticket. Nobody I know, including myself, would ever vote for a Clinton/Edwards ticket– and Edwards is a fool if he gets in bed with the devil (The Clintons). Not because we don't like Edwards– we like him. But because we loathe Hillary– and we'd never vote the Clintons back into the Whitehouse. Two families have been running this country for 24 years– The Bushes and The Clintons. It's time for a new family to enter the Whitehouse. No more status quo. It's time to take this country in a new direction and UNIFY ALL AMERICANS. Obama '08! That's the only way.

No one can agree on every issue. I think Edwards is more close to my hopes for the future. On the issues not personality. I am voting for Edwards. I have been and will keep reading and studying. I want to make an informed decision. We are in bad shape.

this sucks eggs

A Hillary nomination gives us four years of Romney or McCain. If you're a Republican, I certainly can understand why you're pulling for Hillary. If you're a Democrat, I am truly puzzled in light of every poll which shows Hillary to be the easiest Democrat to beat in the general election.

we had to deal with 8 years of the worst administration in modern history. now let the republicans deal with the clintons for 8 years. it cant get worst than bush's era????it is only fair.

PERFECT TEAM!!!!

HILLARY AND EDWARD (P/VP) OF USA

On a more direct note on the issues, someone above asks. "No one is talking about OUTSOURCING OUR AMERICAN JOBS.!!! What about that (?)" Here's answer…No one knows. Our entire economy is so invested in managed global capitalism (that's not neccessarily bad) that almost no one can think of a away to avoid outsourcing a lot of our old, industrial/manufacturing jobs without tanking the economic system that demands that we do. The only solution we can think of, protectionism and demanding higher standards in other countries to keep their costs up, will either blow up in our faces (protectionism) or make goods much more expense for us (higher standards). That is, of source, if other countries didn't simply refuse to raise their standards, which they would probably do.

Here my question: the policy for posting reads: "Comments are moderated by CNN, in accordance with the CNN Comment Policy, and may not appear on this blog until they have been reviewed and deemed appropriate for posting." How is that so much clearly racist and sexist material makes to the comments site? Does inappropriate only mean sexually explicit? C'mon CNN, have some basic standards and exclude people who dmake disparaging sexist comments about Hillary Clinton and racist comments about Barack Obama.

If Hillary took Edwards in from the cold (poor dear) and made him VP, that would give my opinion of her a significant boost. From "meh" to "might actually vote for her with some enthusiasm".

Hillary Clinton was disgraceful during the debate. She would make a horrible president. As a white woman voter, I am put off by her. Obama won the debate for me.

I think Edwards teaming up with HRC on ANY thing would show him for the hypocrite he truly is. Remember that "status quo" speech? He took a right jab and HRC, and her supporters were all over this site calling Edwards everything but the Antichrist. Now, since Obama came out swinging after being backed into a corner defending all of the allegations HRC and Bill have taken at him, Edwards, who got 4% in Nevada and is no real threat, takes the "high road?" Puleeze! As far as debates go, Cheney cooked Edwards' grits in 2004, in case anybody forgot.

This country will never pull behind HRC in a general election. A lot of the Obama and Edwards supporters are voting anti-Hillary, so his going over to the dark side would show him to be a conniving charlatain.

As long as Obama's you know what is pointed to the ground and he's black, he will NEVER get a free ride from the press, white people, or his own people. The comments made about him by Bob Johnson, Andrew Young, and even our "distinguished former president" Bill Clinton is hitting below the belt-way below the belt. If Obama had not defended himself, the same HRC supporters that are calling him a whiner would be calling him a wimp. Obama can't win with some people, because, unlike other supporters, most of Obama's supporters are well-versed people who have done their research. I didn't have to research far-I remember the devisiveness and scandal the Clintons brought to the White House. Everyone here has convenient amnesia.

If Edwards keeps teaming up with HRC, he will prove to a lot of people that he is a slimeball that will say anything-and I mean ANYTHING-to get into that White House.

Obama 08!!!!!! On last night the debate we feel was incredible. Yes allowing their to really show who they are is what the American people needed to see. We are all human and it shouldn't be any different showing emotions just because you are running for President. So I feel that Obama held his ground and Hillary just reacted after the responses that was given….You know a lot of Americans have seen the worse of the Bush Administration and right now we should all be rallying for a change.
Sometimes experience is not always for the good of us……we need to evaluate what is good for the American people and Obama is the man that can make things happen.
We are in New Orleans and we want a President that will be concern about the citizens that are still here homeless, jobless and poor in education. We need a President that will work and lead this nation.
President Clinton was an awesome President and we will always remember that but Obama is the man for change….
Go OBAMA!!!!!
WE GOT YOU HERE IN NEW ORLEANS, LA

Edwards is "sitting on the fence" trying to decide who to be nice or nasty to. He wants in on whoever wins.

I just thought the explanation given by Obama on his vote on 30% interest rate was laughable and truly speaks of his lack of experience..its just scary I want a democrat to win and take the office next year and get the economy up..

Let me throw out a reason for voting for Edwards over the other two rock stars.
…We go to the convention, neither Obama or Clinton have enough delegates to seal the nomination . . . do you think that either one will concede to the other . . . not on your life. Delegates are only pledged to their respective candidate for the first round. . . In comes the third candidate, Edwards, and he wins because it will be a real brokered convention.
Maybe I'm dreaming, but boy would I love to see it come to that!!!!

Hillery's got my vote !!!

Ev en though I would like to see Hillary win the nomination, Edwards won this debate hands down. He would have been a major contender from the start if he wasn't playing suck up to Obama all along. This is the debate where John Edwards have finally found his voice.

It is now conclusive, Obama is better when a teleprompter is infront of him than on a debate stage.

All this talk about a Clinton/Edward ticket is stupid. Do anyone remember Edwards getting his but kicked by Dick Channey in 2004.

I am for Hillary. She will be a great president ! I like her because she is tough ! That should be the characteristic of a president. I trust her and I know she will do what she preached. Bill Clinton did an excellent job during his presidency, and I know she'll do a terrific job too !

This would be a great team. From my understanding while Bill was in office Hiliary was running the white house the whole time. Clinton/Edwards 2008 Wonderful!

The meeting means nothing. But sure both canidates are reaching out to Edwards, Edwards message is more complete, more about the change that is needed and more for the people of the country then either of the other two. They will all end up with about the same platform but Edwards is clearly the one more able to come to the table with real plans of change. My only problem with Mrs Clinton is that a ticket with her on the top invites the Republicans to campaign as the change of the norm canidates. Bush Clinton Bush - anyone else, is way to easy to sell in the fall. We need to becareful. She is a great canidate but this is bad timing. Maybe Edwards/Clinton or my favorite Edwards /Obama. Either ticket will win the Whitehouse, But Edwards / Obama represents a real change and a chance for the people to get the Whitehouse back on their side for the first time in 30 years.

Commenting on Ainslie Schmidt:

"… Senator Obama may have spent time boning up on who our enemies are. He also needs to know who our friends are."

It is very questionable to talk about countries as friends/enemies. People can be friends, but not countries. Countries have interests and collaborate if it seems advantageous. To me, the dilatoriness of Obama about that question seems not dull at all, just the opposite.
Even if you accept this terminology, do you think the US made that many real friends in the last years?

The I-have-ready.made-answers-to-all-questions habitus of Clinton is ridiculous, Obama seems a much more thoughtfull person. Sadly, I have to admit that Clinton is the better tactician and succeeds well in forcing Obama in the game of throwing mud.

Hey, how come no one has called on Obama for making his racist remarks such when he refered to Bill Clinton being the first black President and also a couple of time when he refered to Edwards as the white man? Hillary Clinton and John Edwards will not be able to get away with those kinds of statements.

Mike, Fort Washington felt that Bill Clinton damaged the country by lying about a woman and disgraced the oval office….which is of course not nearly as damaging as lying to the country about WMD and killing American soldiers in the process! W - has disgraced the oval office.

Clinton/Edwards 08!

I was disappointed with the cat and dog fight and was very pleased with Senator
Edwards. Hillary and Obama should stick to the real issues that affects working
people like me. Health care, economy, bringing our soldiers home and job in America. No one is talking about OUTSOURCING OUR AMERICAN JOBS.!!! What about that.

I think that Lou Dobbs from CNN, is being ridiculous by saying that he doesn't think that any candidate on either side are addressing the issues that confront America. That is obviously ridiculous! All of the candidates on both sides have been talking about the economy, jobs, education, health care, etc. How in the world can he say that they haven't been? He may not like what they have to say on the issues, but that is very different than saying that they haven't been talking about the issues, when the obviously have been. What in the world does he want them to say about the issues that they haven't been saying anyway? I wonder!

I think it is very clear that Hillary is the only candidate to bring on the best toward our economy and national security. No doubt. And I strongly encourage each of you to pay attention to Hillary's position on national healthcare. Obama stumbles more over this topic than others, but clearly stumbles when it comes to offering empirical evidence about his accomplishments, as well as, any sound plans to pursue a goal that is right for our country and as a world leader. Our nation is in trouble from the Bush administration, and Obama simply isn't experienced enough, or sharp enough to fix it. Its a shame. He simply is not ready. Hillary is more than ready. She has the experience and the moxy to put it to the table.

Here's a thought; if Hillary doesn't get the Dem ticket, I know thousands of folks who will overtly switch their ticket to John M. I'm one of them. Its about needing strength and experience that collectively can remedy the horrible position we're in.

Go Barack! Go John! The Dem's WINNING TICKET: OMABA /EDWARDS '08. Remember, in order to get the WH (BACK) you NEED to get 270. With any other ticket, you will lose the WH (for 8 YEARS, not 4, don't kid yourself), the senate (55-45, AGAIN!) and of course the Supreme Court (a Conservative court, nonetheless 7-2 yup, KIDDOS, it's gonna be 7-2! ) MARK MY WORDS. But the saddest part is gonna be that: YOU,as a voter, YOU could've CHANGE the (WASHINGTON'S) RULES once and for all but you decided that you were better than that. What a shame, what a shame…INDEED.

That's not truth Billy, did you watch the debate? Hillary started it with Obama's comment on Ron Reagan's administration. look, i am from the deep south, i don't care what you all say—my family and i are voting for Obama. i think he is honest and he is defending his record. No more vote for Washington Lobbyists and business as usual guys in Washington..

Obama/Bloomberg in '08

As a man, I am extremely proud of Hillary and her performance at the debate. Obama came charging at her without rhyme or reason, and like a true Amazon, Hillary counter-charged and prevailed. She held her head high on hostile (almost disrespectful!) territory. Obama got the beating last night and he needs to go quietly and lick his wounds. Edwards is only doing the right thing - rightly differing to the front-runner.

Obama will never get my vote..he is the worst of the worst

If Hillary win's the nonmination I and many others will vote for MCcain

Comments on this blog suggest that Hillary actually accomplished her GOAL:
Make Obama look and sound LIKE me (Hillary) so that everyone will turn out to HATE him just as they hate me (Hillary).

Next day: go out there are tell the world that Obama is equally as diversive.

Make Edwards look good in the debate, and then join forces with him AGAINST Obama after the debate. Does anyone recall the brief meeting between Clinton and Edwards after the debate?

Well, the Clintons have fooled you again, idiots!!! and you have indeed fallen for it!!!
Good luck because she cannot fool Independents and moderate Republicans, only dumb democrats! This is up to the Democrats to lose this race by putting Hillary out there!!!!

We just say GO HILLARY…….
The Big Test is for the last day on November.
Thanks Hillary for your effort .
God bless you.

Change is what we all need. Time of the old politic is over. We hear people today talking about experience here and there. We do not need people who built up their experience in the 90's but some people who come up with some fresh Ideas. The whole world is corrupted, especially the white house. Everyday we hear things happening in other countries, especially in Africa, a continent that has been bleeding God knows for how long and I am not sure how long more it will take until it dies. Letches (lobbyists) have been sucking the resources out it for how many years. Do you know why we don’t react ? Wars are caused there almost everyday by not only the Africans themselves but the people behind all these reasons Lobbyists, dictators, people who take power under coup d'etat etc…What kind of exemple are for this democratie we talk about when we welcome these murderers in our country as president of Nations after they have committed murders and genocides in their home country. People have the guts today to run for presidency in this country with the "Lobbyist experience". Taking money from Lobbyist is no different than participating to death a lot of innocent civilians in these poor countries. This world need a second chance to change. I would rather vote for Lou Dobb who keeps it real every day and tell these politicians the truth than wasting my time hearing what people like Bill-lary have to say. I Hope that John Edwards understands that there is no room for VP for him associating with Bill-lary. Then what change was he talking about ?? Maybe the change of mind ? After seeing that debate last night, I realized that Bill Cliton is actually doing all the work for his spouse and she is just the puppet waiting for him to tell her what to say.

Keep it real the media, you guys are doing a good job.

Peace to the world and end to corruption. Viva those all those who believe in change.

Obama is an engima….and he doesn't necessary tell the truth…as with Hillary, John and the other candidates he's got skeletons in his closet as well. Michelle sat cushioning on the board of Wal-Mart's largest supplier to the tune of $51 thousand…she only got this little gig only after Obama reached the senate…hmmm………and what about that land deal with an indicted poltical fundraiser…

He needs to stop whining…when his wife tooks jabs at Hillary….remember the remark…if you can't run your house…how can you run the white house. Come on Michelle…you know…like all women and mothers know…when you brag on your hubby and your children..the pedestal always seem to topple. If Obama get the nomination…I'm sure the Republicans will test you…to see if you live in a glasshouse. I can hear the glass shattering…

I could see the stars in Obama eyes ….that magnificent speech became his drug of choice…and he was hooked on the applaud…and being embraced by people from all walks of life at the Dem convention… The man is a gifted orator…and it helps to have someone who really knows how to write a speech. This guy has not demonstrated any great accomplishments. Except a great slogan about change. Change is not a Plan….Hope is not a Plan. Check out his voting records in the US Senate ….he' is famous for his NV which he has accumulated lots of them…almost as many times on the uphill as he was in Illinois….come on Obama supporters….follow the yellow brick road …lift up a stone or two… check out his records….

Obama started the "cat fight" and Hillary proved that she could take him on and spank him some. She really is a tougher candidate than you would think. I heard answers from her when everything from Obama's stuttering mouth didn't make any sense. It was as if he was trying to compose one of his "fairy tale" speeches that he has become so popular for. I am telling you people if you want to get the White House back to being Democratic, you must NOT vote for Obama. He is NOT electable! I am liking a Clinton/Edwards ticket or even a Edwards/Ticket.

Edwards is just playing politics - he is not attacking Hillary as much… he does not have his own side. He was siding with Obama when it appear Obama was going to win now he appears to be courting Hillary.

A vote for Edwards is a vote for himslef.. he is just in it for the political gain … I will not waste my vote on a person who stands to gain politically …. I hope few people do also…

If Clinton wins the nomination Edwards would be the clear choice for VP- which is great. I hope that Obama would not be her VP only because it would be best for him to remain his own man and not be tainted by the inevitable problems and vitriol that will plague Hillary if she were to become president.

CLINTON/EDWARDS DREAM TEAM —- POWER COUPLE IN THE MAKING!

Edwards has clearly stated he will not be anyone's vice-president. But he will keep fighting against poverty and corporate control of our government, and by winning delegates in every state he is accumulating some power to make change.

I was really disappointed in H. Clinton. I thought she showed her true colors tonight. She is just obsessed with the negative game. She sounds like the present White House. I was strongly lóoking at both Clinton and Obama. But after the last debate, I feel H. Clinton is just another Washington Know it all. What a shame. What do I do now if she gets the nomination?

Disgusted Democrat,

Joe McCormack

How about an Obama/Bloomberg independent ticket should he not get the nomination?

Hillary is one strong woman and she will win!!!!! Obama does not have the experience and is using race to try to recoop strength. He needs to focus on his change and come up with a plan. Hillary has the experience and plan and her husband was one of the best presidents we had as far as economic growth goes. People need to remember that. Hillary was behind him and I think she is one smart lady!!!! She has my confidence and vote. Go Hillary!!!!!

If it's a Clinton's/John Edward ticket then Obama could run as a Independent. Republicans would win 2008 and the Independent Obama would win in 2012.

hrc supporters here sound like degenerates, some of the most vile and angry comments on here are being made by hrc supporters, obama supporters make way more sense, lord help us!

Make that EDWARDS/CLINTON '08!

I'd like a Clinton/Edwards ticket but it would be politically more sensible to get a someone from the midwest or Florida. Edwards is not going to be able to deliver Southern red states like NC, he wasn't able to in 04. I'd look at Ohio and Florida for VPs..

Well why don't you tell us what actually happened, since that's your job! Really, it was just that a meeting, nothing as crazy as a running mate deal, it's just too soon b/c really anytime Edwards double teams he is assumed to be a running mate or making a deal to be the running mate so this means really nothing,

Edwards is NOT a King/Queen maker, his numbers and support are so low, his leaving the race will make no difference, just like him.

I'd go for Billabama though.

the conversation probably went something like this

hillary "if you drop out i am finished"

edwards " i know, by the way , who does your hair?"

hillary " please john , the last time i was asked about my hair, i cried to get votes, do you really want that again?"

LISTEN. We democrats lost the last two elections. Clearly, we don't have the base we need to win without appealing to crossover repubs and independents. Is Hillary the candidate who can do that? I think not. She's virulently hated by the majority of conservatives and many on the left. You want another "almost" or a recount? Or do you want a post-partisan candidate who reaches out to those on the other side and represents a fresh start?

Hillary, how much of your vaunted "35 years of experience" did you come by the hard way, i.e., strictly on your own merits? None of it. Absolutely none of it. Not one iota.

Edwards, I've always thought you were a nice but ineffectual lightweight, and now I'm disgusted that you'd let yourself roll over for a sleazy insider like HRC.

He is a war monger who along except for taxes agrees with all of Bush's Policies.

John was wanting to know who did Hillary's hair……..

Can't anyone just shake hands anymore, exchange a plesantry every now and then, tell a dirty inside joke or just laugh without the media making some sort of issue out of it.

Dirty laundry…. tube's full of it…

Did any one have a response to my 2:09 pm posting today? There was a typo error in there should have read "Everyone has to take paycuts AND lower price…

Like to hear your response

A depressed Michigander

Look ya'll. They are politicians. They are supposed to debate one another. Not play nicey, nice.

Edwards ganged up with Obama, against Hillary in New Hampshire. Now, in South Carolina he tended toward Hillary's positions. He is trying to stay above the fray…. not favoring any one candidate all the time. He's a smart man.

As for this "meeting." Bumping into someone back stage is not a "secret." Secret meetings happen in hotel rooms….. geesh.

Clinton / Obama as VP is an unbeatable choice for Democratic Nomination as Fiedel Castro expressed earlier.

This is the last stand for Edwards. As for Hillary she is always scheming - has lots of dirty tricks as does her husband. Obama needs to stay on point and hold his head up high. Being the person that Obama is I know he will.

To Wolf and Schneider All that is left for the two of you to do is to put on your cheerleading uniform for Hillary.

How is Mccain exactly like Bush

It would be great to see a web page that shows the actual positions for each candidate on all major and several minor issues in grid form. Have each candidate specifically address how they would correct the problem including how to pay for it when applicable. Next point out the differences, in addition to the potential pros and cons of each plan. It would certainly help us make a better informed choice on election day, while leaving the candidate's personalities out of the equation. Does anyone know of such a site?

Clinton\Edwards ticket would be a disaster for the democrats, black folks simply won't show up to the polls and the dems can't win it without us.

Furion - when did "black folks" show up in droves before and where were you when this country elected Bush for a preposterous second term?????

Hillary is a tactician who is trying to draw Obama into dirty partisan political spit fights. She is not genuine. Bill and Hillary are power hungry and only care to be in a position of power for their own sake. Obama/Edwards ticket would be a genuine effort of a President/VP that will care about uniting the people of America.

Time to wake and unite the USA…go Obama go!

Hillary won't choose Edwards as her VP. Too much has happened between the two. She won't make that mistake.

You can bet your money on Richardson being her VP. He's latino, has the experience and worked for Bill Clinto as a Secretary of State. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be her VP on the ticket.

How can any true Democrat or Independant say they would rather have McCain (LIL BUSH) over Clinton or Obama, is beyond me.

By the way, Independant means GOP in sheeps clothing. The Independant as it was initially brought about is history. The majority of Independants are Republicans united to screw with the Democratic Party, made possible by the outdated procedures we use in the party.

Attention everyone–John Edwards will not be on the ticket as VP. It's all or nothing for John Edwards this time, and he knows it.

Bottom line, we've had 8 years of a very partisan, fudging-the-truth president. Why would anyone think we need another polarizing figure like Hillary Clinton? Do her supporters actually think she can win in key states like Florida, Ohio or Pennsylvania? McCain will destroy her in a general election, even when many independents and Republicans are abandoning the Republican party.

Lighten up folks. Hillary will win, and she'll pick Obama as her running mate. She is far too intelligent not to understand the ramifications of not doing so, and besides, they are ideologically identifical (although they may differ on procedure and specific policy).

Edwards would make a great cabinet member. There is room for all three of them in the new administration.

Si Se Puede, Si Se Puede, Si Se Puede

Clinton/Obama

Why does Obama not just publsh his voting records for all to see if there are no issues. "Seems he doth protest too much." I am an Illinois resident and during his tenure as state senator cannot recall any splendid, original programs or services that he developed or ACTUALIZED. Just as it must be obvious that I am not backing Obama, also I am not a newsperson whose preference ought be a mystery. Through your selection of particular photos, incidents, comments it is very evident who Wolf and other pundits support. Irecall several weeks ago that Michelle Obama commented negatively about Hillary, but guess that just went away due to inappropriate perspectivesI. long for tthe moments with Tom Brokow who still can drive down the middle of the road and report who, what, where, when. You are right, i CAN JUST CHANGE CHANNELS.

I wish the Clinton vs. Obama business would stop; I'd much rather see the two of them together. Seeing Clinton and Edwards teaming up fudges my loyalties more towards Obama. The last thing I want to see is a trial lawyer given the white house; that'll really screw up health care.

"So, Senator Edwards, how would you like to be Vice-President of the United States…?"

I've been following this campaign since day "1″. I honestly feel through observation that both Hillary , and Former President Clinton, have both chosen to attack Senator Obama by putting every dirty spin in whatever ever Barack has done or said after having won the primary in Iowa. The debate on Monday night may not have been that of the greatest taste, however I feel it was high time that Barack defend himself from Hillary , as well as from president Clinton. I too feel that Senator Obama has been campaigning against two individuals. For many many years, I have had great admiration for both Mr and Mrs Clinton, but having observed the dirty and low down tactics they both have used in attacking Senator Obama put a really bad taste in my mouth about the both of them. President Clinton did do many wonderful things to help African Americans durning his tenture, and I am sure, as well as myself and other African Americans are indeed grateful, but what President Clinton did for African Americans or any other american was exactly what he should have done. It was his job!! I am now being reminded by the media, as well as the Clintons what President Clinton has done for us as a people as though it has now become a quid pro quoe by voting for Senator Clinton. I'm a firm believer in what a person show one as a person, one must believe them, and Senator Clinton has shown me exactly how ugly she truely is. I wish both Hillary and President Clinton much Luck in winning "their" election for the presidency, but "they" will not be getting my vote. I'm not sure what Senator Clinton, and Mr Edwards were dicussing behind closed doors, but having observed the distasteful actions of Senator Clinton against Senator Obama has lead me to believe, what may have been said upon Senator's Clinton's behalf, was not a pretty picture. Thank You

It's about time that all the news channels give John Edwards some coverage. I am so sick of hearing about Hilary and Barack, like they were the only two running. We have alot of states left to vote, and believe me, after last nights debate, it only confirmed my feelings that John Edwards is the most true and viable candidate. He sticks to his message, he is honest and earnest in his speaking, not to mention passionate in his cause. Lets give him a break, I know he doesn't have the money behind him like Hilary and Barack, but he has a message that holds true to what this country wants in a president. I am ready to turn off the news when I hear the two democratic candidates mentioned all the time, and all of their disagreements magnified and concentrated on, when there is a third candidate there with a message that resonates with all of us in this country. Lets let it be heard, lets give him the time and quit concentrating on the slamming of political candidates, which only goes to show that the fight between them is mostly about themselves, not about what is good for the country. John Edwards has my vote!

Hillary Clinton needs to stop her mudslinging. Her constant attacks on Barack Obama have only served to make her look ridiculous and afraid of her opponent. Bill Clinton's attacks against Obama are also very un-presidential. The Clinton campaign should be afraid-they have certainly lost the vote of at least one highly educated female voter-me.

Edwards won't be Hillary's VP. Hillary already cut a deal with Richardson to be her VP if she wins the nomination. Do you think it was a coincidence that Richardson dropped out just before the Nevada caucus as to not split the Hispanic vote with Hillary and give Obama a popular vote victory?

John Edwards brings nothing to the bottom of the ticket. He did not carry one state for Kerry in 2004. So hopefully Hillary remembers this calculation. However, John Kerry would make an outstanding Attorney General in a Clinton administration. This is a job where he can make a huge difference.

It would hypocritical for John to team up with Hillary due to the fact that He has been her biggest critic this whole race. He has been more critical of her than Obama has. But Hillary needs to be smart about this, the only way she will keep the Democratic coalition together is to pick Obama as her VP.

IMHO, a Clinton/Obama ticket is unbeatable…….

If Hillary offers the VP slot to Obama, he should take it! The only thing that could prevent him would be his pride and ego. We would have an opportunity to have great, progressive leadership in the White House for up to 16 years. As a VP, Obama would get the one thing he lacks - executive experience.

I still think, however, that Bill Richardson and John Edwards are more likely VP picks for Hillary.

Edwards would be hypocritical teaming up with the "Status Quo."

Obama stutters because he's actually thinking of his answers. Clinton doesn't because her answers are pre-planned and robotic. Clinton will give talking points. Obama will give thoughtful answers. That's why he'd rather give you an explanation rather than driving one liners created by some political team in the back.

For those of you who support Hillary, good for you. She is a great politician. But hate yourselves dearly when she gets squashed by the Republicans and we get a total of 12-16 years of Republican rule.

I don't understand why America doesn't want to restore its standing in the world. The world is in love with Obama. The world thinks that with Obama as president, the world can say, "Wow the Americans are actually a progressive and thoughtful people!"

But we'll be stubborn again and get McCain in office. Good job America.

Obama 08.

Woody, here is what he did for the African American community: more African Americans were incarcerated under Bill Clinton; Bill Clinton devised the three strikes out plan; created NAFTA took away jobs for all, but hurt the poor and black communities harder; helped his wife redistrict Harlem to remove more African Americans to put his office.

This man left Arkansas in a drug ruin after his governorship, all the so-called jobs he created were not so because the economy was a rebound after the Bush,Sr era.
Bill Clinton and wife are very divisive.

Thirdly, the man was impeached and now we have a dishonored official wanting to be an ambassador along with BushSr. Clinton left the Israeli/Palestian debacle in a mess. Bush does not want nor care to fix his mess. We need change in America and there are far more better people than the Clinton/Bush charade we have been having for the last 20 years. Hillary Clinton talks of change, well why doesn't she allow new ideas from different people. First she lied to the American people stating that she had no interest in running for president. I hope the people in New York see right through them, they left Arkansas in a mess, she can't get attention in Chicago. Bill Clinton left his secret library in Arkansas as a thanks to people for helping him get out of the state. Why did he not make his home in Arkansas, guess he couldn't con the people any longer.
Now

lost my vote, a clinton/edwards team will corrupt the system more with status quo

Hillary and John both attended the Bilderberg Conference last year. (For those of you who don't know what it is, look it up.) Once you learn that, consider that three of the four top candidates for the Democratic nomination (Clinton, Edwards, and Richardson) all attended last year's meeting. In addition, note that the pundits were leaning towards Evan Bayh as Hillary's potential running mate - and he went to the meeting as well. Given the nature of the conference, it stands to reason that if she wins the nomination, Edwards WILL be her running mate, and the "plans" will be underway…

The critics has said that If Obama gets the nomination, the republicans are sure to lose because the republican has no good strategies to go against obama. Voting for clintons is a sure lose to the white house to the republicans.

Yes, I rather have a republican in the white house than the Clintons. they are liars.

Clinton\Edwards ticket would be a disaster for the democrats, black folks simply won't show up to the polls and the dems can't win it without us. A Clinton\Edwards ticket would look like the white folks ganged up on the black candidate and, as a result, the democrats put forth the status quo, more white folks. Kennedy and Emmanuel both know this and that's why they told Bubba to shut his fat redneck trap.

After watching the debate it showed how green Obama really is .He really needs to get alittle more experience under his belt .I think he's a great guy but it take more than that to run the Oval office .

Remember when she was saying that mud slinging was bad for the party. Who is doing the slinging now? I do hope she heard the crowd go to a very low boo when she brought up " working for the slum lord." I have a feeling she lost the black vote in his debate. Talking about health care is one thing and getting it passed is another. How many people will fall between the crack, it will happen and small business will not be able to afford this. It is easy to talk about it , doing it is another. Just use your judgement on placing your vote and people are not what they seem or are who they say they are.

Wow. That was the first Dem. debate I have seen…Hillary spends ALL of her time distorting the truth. Even today she has come out and distorted Obama's words again. Changed his campaign strategy? Frustrated by the losses? Hillary and Bill are attacking him every day, all day. He's just trying to be honest, and he's getting pounded by the establishment politicians.

I don't know who I'm voting for yet, but I know I'm not voting for Hillary. She is a pure politician. No matter what Obama says, she will spin it into something negative.

Please, please wake-up America…we do not need our last four presidents to look like this: Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. What does that say about our country? It says we are in love with the wealthy establishment, easily fooled, and will continue down the path of divisive politics and get-nothing-done Washington. It is not moving forward.

My prayer for our country is that we vote for someone who is more concerned with hope than with doing whatever it takes to get elected.

As a retired special education teacher, I am horrified at the lack of literacy displayed by the bloggers on this issue. I have had severe and profoundly challanged students who have better command of the language process.

In regards to the issue at hand, Obama's purpose is to hand the White House to the Republicans. It would not surprise me if most of his fundiong came from Republican sources. Any way to find out?

Oh, leave it be! They worked together in the Senate (Edwards was very helpful to the Clintons during the impeachment process) and remain cordial despite currently being political opponents. It's what I would expect of grown ups. Nor do I think Edwards is interested in the No. 2 spot. People are reading too much into this.

There will never be a female president within the next 50-60 years. It is turning in to a Circus. The question still remains will there ever be a Black President within the next 50-60 years? If so he will be a Martyr. I always vote for the best canadiate. Unfortunately, Republicans always figure a way to pull things off. Buy way of push, pull or tow, or beg, borrow, steal. Politics is a tough racket. The democrats fight too much on issues that don't matter. It is more of an image than issues. Republicans focus on issues and once in office do nothing about them. I think it is a loose- loose situation all the way around. I will vote. I am Afro-American, and Obama will not get it because he is black, and Hillary will not get it becaue she is a former First lady and a Female. This Country needs a postive change and help. Right now I don't give a hoot of where it will come from.

Clinton/Edwards ticket is a dream team, their platform has a lot in common.

That makes perfect sense. Edwards is looking for a VP slot. Next week he will be having private meetings with Obama. The wheels have come of Edwards wagon and now he needs someone to glom onto. What a parasite.

I have been a lifelong Democrat but if Obama is anywhere on the ticket, the Republicans have my vote no matter who they nominate.

The topic: "After watching the three of us on stage tonight how could anyone be so foolish as to vote for a Republican?"

Three very good candidates. A tough choice though I'm still leaning toward Hillary.

No Obama on the ticket. Good luck getting the black vote in key states like PA, MI and OH. DEMOCRATES WILL NOT WIN WITHOUT THE BLACK VOTE.

CLINTON AND EDWARDS WOULD BE A GREAT TEAM.

Hillary could really improve her chances with Edwards as her VP. Really I'd rather have Edwards as President. He's the one with the great ideas — Clinton and Obama have just copied most of his stuff, except for the silly bickering. If the press would give him half the coverage that they continuously heap on Hillary and Barack, maybe more people would actually know that he has some super plans to change our county. But the press wants to determine who we vote for so they just broadcast what they want to. Edwards clearly had the upper hand in last night's debate but all the press is concentrating on today is the goofball arguing by Clinton and Obama (and, oh yes, Bill asleep at the MLK ceremony).

There were 3 people at the debate last night. All the media including fox , cnn, etc. Says there were only 2 people There were 3 and John Edwards won the debate. The media lacks alot of anything relating to news or media because, they are supposed to bring us news about what happened they just bring us WHAT THEY WANT not what makes a news worthy story. I hope John Edwards gets to be Vice President and then becomes President thats what I hope.

Maybe Hillary might have the political experience but, Obama has life's lessons - he can relate to hardship and the like of the human race. What does Hillary know about human "hardships"?

Have you people ever thought that the reason why both her and Bill Clinton are raking Obama thru mud? Because she will nominate her own husband to be her running mate and/or nominate him to a high ranking job in the White House IF she's elected President. (God forbid, I hope this doesn't happen).

As for John Edwards, he's a FOLLOWER. He played two sides. He should get the hell out of the race.

My husband and I miss Clinton years. Stock market was up,dollar was strong,gasoline was cheaper than a bottle of water. Go Hillary ,08!

Dear "Deta reid":

Your "January 22, 2008 1:00 pm ET" comments ("…it doesn't matter WHO'S ON TOP !!") were a little over the top…let's keep this blog clean…there are women and children reading this blog.

Obama is The candidate that speaks truth and embrace capitalism. That mandate on healthcare will not work. it will only give more money to the rich insurance company. SO WAKE UP Wake up Clinton and Edwards Supporters!!!

The moment that Edwards attack Clinton on that night in New Hampshire debate to push for the sympathy vote from the womens is the sign that Edwards has already side with the LYING, MUDSLING, DISHONEST clintons.

How many times does the Clintons have to stab your back to make you feel that they are no good for you or the country. Clintons give you empty promise. Clinton did not say how she will finance the health care and forcing everybody to pay for that stupid mandate coverage when not everybody can't afford it. What are you suppose to pay for insurance and NOT FEED OUR KIDS ??? Where is the logic in this?

Edwards, you are no good for the country because you say one thing that you fight for the poor and in the back you are stabbing the poor by joining the Clintons who associates themselves with the rich and the lobbyist. You are a wolf in the sheep skin.

Obama, Edwards ticket is only a dream. Mark my words, it will never happen. Edwards rather had Clinton as his boss than Obama.

Obama, I support you all the way to the end. I would rather have a Republican McCain in the white house than the Clintons. The Clintons are SICK!!!

Obama was the better debater last night in that he came across as more honest and sincere than HC or Edwards. Edwards is a huckster and HC feels it is her "right" as defined by her "status" to become president and apparently her husband believes in this "divine arrogant sense of self" also. I am sure this meeting was not by chance. We will shortly see the results of this meeting especially if Obama should win SC. The attacks from the Clinton's will start again probably more so than ever because Obama have the audacity to get in HC way on her march to her overblown sense of destiny.

Don't buy John Edwards's "this is my life long cause" garbage. He is in this for self-gratifying, self-serving reasons.

That was finally a fun debate. Did Obama really think that he can attack, and make false accusations about Hillary's comments on MLK and not get a reaction?
He has realized that this is a debate for pros, and when he came out with that silly on the Walmart board against Hillary - why was he oh so hurt when she duked right back at him? He has trouble defending his record, does not come clean with straight forward replies. He is dealing with a pro - and Hillary showed him that she is a master of the game.
Go Hillary!! She is a LEADER.

Vote for Lou Dobbs. He is the only one withl any sense.

Hillary talks about the vast amount of experience she has but all she really ever talks about is fighting healthcare battles for the past 36 years. What does give her the right to question others experience or the lack thereof when it was her husband that was the president and dealt with foreign policy.

I also have real issue with the universal healthcare she keeps running on. I have healthcare and yes my premiums are high, but do we really want the government mandating as Hillary said last night and imposing penalties on us if we don't buy into this healthcare? Doesn't the government have enough control over us that we now need to give them the right to tell us who we must use as our healthcare provider? She never does answer the question about how she intends to pay for all this "stuff" she wants to give away. Wonder why she never answers that? Do the American people really want to vote to have their taxes increased that heavily? I sure don't.

Hillary is our best chance for America. She will fight hard for us!

Hillary 08′

SOME REAL NEWS "Jane Roe" Endorses Ron Paul

Hillary told John "You thinkin what I'm thinkin"? And then they burst out laughing at what a desperado BO looked, whining and pointing his fingers when he didn't like what he was hearing…like the pouty school boy he is. If you want a good laugh, go to you tube and see what BO REALLY said about the single payer issue he so vehemently denied. Shows what a "BUSHY" clone he really is! He scares the living bejesus out of me and I can see that he'll bust out the race card whenever he wants to bring someone down. He says "she started it" but he always does..like last night. He is the emperor with no clothes…Jim Jones wannabe…

Clearly, it is only about POWER to the Clintons. As they have said many times, it's a game. There are 3 teams in this game. The press is one of them. Only it's a game with our lives. This whole process is disgusting.

Go EDWARDS….it's happening…hillary and obama , the two minority who are inexperienced at diplomacy, are "knocking each other out"

John Edwards has "class" …John Edwards is the only candidate worthy of the White House….John Edwards has the strength of diplomacy to negotiate world peace…he is the ONLY choice for President.

Hillary is warmed has been… i am already sick of hillary and obama and their pettiness….Americans deserve the best leadership in the white house…JOHN EDWARDS!

Go John…God is with you!

"Secret Meeting" - CNN had this within minutes of it taking place, so exactly how secret could it be? Another example of the "professional reporting"; hasty, speculative - as breathily headlong as a high school freshman reporting live from the Prom. C'mon folks. You can do better than that.

Although it is pretty plain that Hilary is doing some delegate fishing. Edwards appears to be doing the sensible thing. When the lion and the crocodile fight over the kill, a smart jackal hangs back and waits until they're both too tired to defend it.

Mrs. Clinton, a "she" devil.

Obama/Edwards /08

Its obvious there's going to be a Hillary/Edwards..it was obvious from the debate where they both ganged up on Obama.

It's mind boggling how the Bush's and the Clinton's of this world keep power…how can 'change' be the slogan when you guys are clearly putting in a member of an old political family into the whitehouse…that's not change..that's more of the same.

I mean, I'm not supporting the lame 'change' slogan, just please, people like Hillary and Mitt Romney shouldn't be using it, period.

The questions asked by the moderators were out of line. No wonder they went off
on each other. They were not policy questions, but questions geared to bring a negative responce from one candidate to another. The qestion to Obama about
black president was out of line. Having said that Obama should have said he
hoped he would be considered Americas president after he was elected. But you
all had him so riled up his responses were defensive.

Hilary better start thinking of HILARY - OBAMA PRESIDENCIAL ticket to stand up to the challenge of Republican Macain - Ronmey ticket campain machine on 'FEAR'. While Obama should be humble enough to consider an opportunity to develope experience and build upon the youthful and black American pride political followership to a historic first African - American Vice president in preparations for a potenciail black American president.

I do believe that an Clinton- Edwards ticket would also be great for the country. Obama needs to start acting more like a statesman instead of acting like a community organizer. He is running against Hillary Clinton and not Bill Clinton.
It seems to me that everytime Obama is attacked he and his supporters always decry that they are being picked on. If Mr. Obama cannot stand the heat he is getting from Hillary , how then can he expect to take on the Republicans. Looks to me like he got away from his "new kind of politics" last night and looked just like every other politician. I am from Michigan and unfortunately when have seen the effects of a poor economy and it is going to take more than "hope" to solve these problems. I hope that we are not heading for another split Democratic Party, but lately it seems like some are trying to split the party. We need a candidate that can bring about change but also one that can provide results. That is why i am supporting Hillary Clinton. Like her or hate her I feel that she has the experience to get things done and knows how to take on the Republicans. I also support Edwards but I feel that his advisors and his decision to take matching funds allowed the Media to kick him aside.

This is a non-story. CNN is backtracking so fast they are falling all over themselves. The first time I saw this headline it said they held a "secret" meeting. Now it is a "private" meeting. then you read the article and basically they ran into each other by chance, said hello and tossed a couple of good-natured barbs at each other.

Note that the picture is of the two of them shaking hands outside of somewhere, but the story is about them meeting in the room outside the debate area. This is just irresponsible reporting, ended with "so what else was said"…

Maybe something is going on, but if so, report it when you know it for a fact. I didn;t think this was the National Enquirer

I did not know who I would be voting for, until last nights debate.
Hilary is showing her true self………Obama, you have my vote.

I wonder if America is truly about diversity for all, it seems like we expolit diversity to serve the interests of the white majority……….and poor Obama has to stay in the middle so he won't be considered to black, this is the hardest thing a politician has ever had to do in our country, hands down….

I BELEIVE THE CLINTONS ARE PLAYING ANOTHER GAME BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM AT THE EXPENSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,USING YOU THE MEDIA IN THE MIDDLE OF EACH ROUND.IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE CLINTONS

Why would Clinton team up with Edwards for VP when it won't gain her a single southern state? I for one, didn't like the grandstanding on both her and Edwards' part in last night's debate on the issue of the "present" votes by Obama. They already knew what the story was behind it, and it wasn't scandalous or negligent on Obama's part as a legistor. In the face of a Clinton/Edwards ticket–I'd easily vote for McCain. And by the way CNN, I'm a Black female voter.

I support Obama and was very proud of his debate last night. He had to stand up to both Hillary and Bill's attacks even if it did get a little uncomfortable with the back and forth. No one likes to see that but she started it and he ahd to answer it. Where is BillBoy when you need him Hillary? Her anger and hatred came out full force and America got to see it.

Debating a woman on national TV is trickey business. Both Obama and Edwards are way more gentlemen than they have to be with Billary. We have two men who were very well taught by their mammas…a very polite black man and a son of the south. Kind of goes against their basic nature to get rough on her and you can tell they don't like it.

Obama and Edwards both have character and I believe are honest. I would hope Edwards will stay the course and not support Hillary regardless of how this turns out. I think he showed he can't/won't do that with his question of having lobbist in her office on day one. Hillary was waiving her hands in the air saying "I don't know…I just don't know". The national debt couldn't compare to what Bill and Hillary owe special interests. A very good moment for Edwards.

I did not appreciate the tone of last night's debate. To me, Edwards is one-note Johnny and an egotist. And to you people who are SO in love with Hillary and Edwards, may I ask that you examine both their voting records????? John Edwards is running on everything he voted against in his short and mostly abstent Congressional career. Hillary is a corporatist and not only voted for the Iraq war, but voted not too long ago to give Bush the power to go to war with Iran. Wake up you people!!

Obama is the change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you say, "I smell Clinton/Edwards Pres/V.P. ticket?
Edwards is a womanly kind of man anyway, and Clinton is a manly kind of woman anyway…should work out just fine for them…until they are beat by the Republican nominee.

How sad it is when grown men can't accept the fact that a woman is smarter and wiser than them……. Go Hillary…. And thank you on behalf of my granddaughters who might have a better chance in the world against these women haters.. sad

All 3 candidates were really sharp last night. Yes, I agree with most here that the bickering was a bit much and far reaching at times. The one unfortunate moment was when Clinton brought up the Rezko news as a reach and it looked desperate. Anyone who has read the articles about it (not the blogs) in the Chicago papers (look up articles by John Kaas and Lynn Sweet to start) knows that Obama purchased his home 16 months before Rezko was indicted. While I can understand that perhaps Obama should have had some sort of inside information on this guy prior to getting involved with him, it is abundantly clear that Obama didn't break any law. As for the Watergate scandal, well that's just a start to the multitude of issues in the Clinton closet. (there is plenty of ammo for the Repugs to spew in a general election campaign against Clinton)
In all, Edwards appeared to be the most poised and articulate throughout the debate. I would say that he has been most impressive overall throughout the debates in general. Realistically, he doesn't have a shot. There is no sign of an implosion by Clinton or Obama. They are the dominant players and will continue to be well after Feb 5th. It is becoming clearer that Hillary will win the nomination. I just pray that those of you that are voting for her will realize that you are not going to get Bill in office again. Plus, please understand that she doesn't have 35 years of experience nor does she have 16 years of experience as she aptly noted last night. She has 7 years of experience in getting things done in the US Senate. (although I would highly recommend looking up what she has in fact, accomplished during her tenure as Senator; not what she proposes but what she get's done)
Don't get be wrong, there is no doubt in my mind that she is brilliant and certainly able, however you must ask yourselves what is best for our country? Or, who really has the best chance of winning? If it's Clinton vs. McCain or Bloomberg(don't count him out yet) she will lose in the general election. I just hope that you can do as Mrs. Clinton asked last night and that is to "look to the future", and "vote for whom you feel is best suited to lead this country." The general election race is much closer than most people anticipate. It will not be a Dem landslide. Esp. if McCain or Guiliani are the Repub contenders.

edwards sometimes i think you are just as old time as hillary

big mistake buddy big mistake

go obama

go away john

The Dream Team would be Edwards/Obama or Obama/Edwards

it would be a huge missed oppurtunity if the democratic party does not see the value in a Clinton-Obama ticket. these two should make nice, because thats ticket that cant be beat.

I think Edwards wants to be someone's VP since the chances of his getting the democratic nomination appear slim

I found it quite amazing that nobody picked up on the fact that when Senator Clinton was asked about her husband's part in her campaign she quickly went back to her stock rant about her 35 years of..etc. etc.,and ignored the question.Much of her experience was gained as wife of the Govenor and President.If this is valid experience for the job as President,then I guess Laura Bush will probably turn up as a candidate in 8 years…my God.what a thought.

My comment is only to say that I believe that this presidential contest should not be about race. I just feel that it is now headed down that path and I feel that Obama put it there when he accused Mrs. Clinton of making a racist remark concerning her statement where she was praising King about his accomplishments on his fight for equality for all people and that the President was then able to put those accomplishments into law. That was fact, not a disparging comment in any way and was certainly not racial. It was at that point that Mrs. Clinton responded to Obamas charge of racism. Why would anyone want to go backwards instead of foreward. I can assure you that the Republicans will make enough statements that are anti-black, anti-woman, and anti-gay to cover those subjects alone without any help from the Democrats. I would like to see just one debate that issues and solutions were the only topics allowed and each canidate was not allowed to even mention the others name or anyone's name from the past. Then we could really see what they really would do in todays real life situations. We already know that they can attack each other. How, about it CNN? Would you be willing to set those ground rules and stick to them for the publics sake? It would be great to have a real debate on real issues and solutions.

How sweet it when the criminals, I mean politicians hold covert meetings. I hope you Hillary supporters get exactly what you want when she's elected……

I think the Democrats are ready to enter the 21st Century, Hillary. Go off to West Palm Beach and retire.

Obama lost the debate. I thought Hillary did extremely well as usual and I hope she gets the democratic nomination. She will be a fantastic president. I read that mark halperin said obama won the debate….I visited halperin's website and found the picture of his backside appropriate with his comments….

"Finally, there's always the prospect that Democrats just might do the energizing for the Republicans. Republican pollster and consultant Neil Newhouse notes that one path toward greater intensity is "running against a Democrat in the general election who generates real negative passion among Republicans." He adds: "Luckily, such a candidate exists: Hillary Clinton." She registers a whopping 87% unfavorable rating among the party faithful, he notes.

At the same time, a drawn-out and divisive primary fight between Sen. Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama still has the potential to disillusion and discourage some Democrats about their ultimate choice. "There's only one direction that Democratic enthusiasm can go, and that's down," Mr. Newhouse says."

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120095622616304835.html

YES! A Clinton/Edwards ticket would be AMAZING for the country. Though I do like the sound of Clinton/Richardson. My dream for a long time was Clinton/Obama but after what we've seen, I doubt that will happen. Tis a shame because that would have almost guaranteed 16 years of a Democratic White House because after serving 8 years as VP there would be no reason to doubt Obama's experience.

John Edwards seems to be dancing to the tune of anyone her perceives will be the DEM Nominee. After Iowa, Obama came out as the front runner and Edwards immediately gravitated to Obama. Hillary afterwards wins New Hampshire and Nevada and it just happens that Edwards decides to be on her side. Funny Huh!!!!

So what? I don't see how this is newsworthy… This is like a gossip column - there's no substance at all in this article, just pundit speculation…

Maybe they were discussing Bill's favorite color…

Well, when Edwards suggested that he could win the south, that was similar to the good ol southern boy system.

It's probably making a mountain out of a mole hill guessing as to what was really discussed if anything. All three did a great job last night. And I'm glad Hillary fired back to Mr. Obama, Barack was forthright and spoke very well and Edwards was great. All in all, I thought it was a great debate.

I think Edwards could be a possitive asset as vice president to whoever becomes the Democratic nominee, Obama or Clinton. He was held by a short leash with Kerry and it was reported that Edwards asked Kerry to be more aggressive. Kerry miscalculated and he lost an election he could have won. Instead we ended up with another 4 years of limping around with one of the worst lack luster presidents ever.

Kerry's endorsement of Obama means nothing to me. And to the Obama supporters that think endorsements equal experience, they don't. They are two entirely different things.

And to the Hillary haters out there who would never vote for her, to each his own. But don't complain when the rich get richer and your insurance increases by 80% in the next 8 years. After all, you voted for it with your narrow minded reasoning.

John Edwards is irrelevant as the presidental choice, period. I don't know what everyone is talking about him potentially getting passed the big two, but I am telling you he has no chance to become president. The point is there is a reason he looked great in the debates, and when he made the comments about bickering, does anyone else remember who did that in an earlier debate it was Bill Richardson, what I am trying to say is that of course you can be seen as calm and civil when you are not being attacked. Since Obama and Clinton don't even care to argue with him, and make him look like the civil one it tells me that in their mind he is irrelevant, the reason also behind not attacking him is to see if he puts his eventual drop out weight behind either of the two. At this moment individual wise the two greatest endorsements are John Edwards, and Al Gore. Edwards will not win, and it is a joke for anyone to think he will make a comeback. Last night, I saw John Edwards gang up on Barack Obama with Hillary, and if they did converse secretly in the back it was probably of no relevance with the race. The VP position would not be discussed in something so miniscual and simple as the green room. Nevertheless what bothers me is that Edwards seems to be getting close to Clinton, much like he did to Barack after Iowa. He seems to be scouting the race and getting close to the leader to try to wrap up the VP nod, and last night leads me to believe he is out for himself by aligning himself to whoever is in the lead. That is sad, this guy is a snake and don't be fooled by the charm. As for Billary, shes a joke, she can cry and turn to Bill to make it all better, is this the leader you want? When our enemies get hostile with us will she turn to tears and then Bill to make it all better? I already see McCain and Romney salvating over the potential of facing Hillary. As a democrat I would much rather vote for a republican like McCain then her, if it is her against Romney, I'll vote Bloomberg.

Making news out of nothing at all!

How pathetic that they call this news and sell it?

More pathetic is how anyone buys this stuff called news!
