I think, That will be the winner ticket in November 08.

Oh please! Obama/Clinton ticket end of story.

Clinton is to tainted for Obama to even consider being on the same ticket.

Clinton/ Obama 08! - The Dream Team Ticket!

For real change that will help all of the people, Vote for Ron Paul Mike Huckabee 08!

I agree. It will give Obama an opportunity to develop the experience he needs.

Desperation. Trying to lure undecideds to the Clintion side by hinting that you may get Clinton AND Obama if you vote for Clinton.

I'd be highly disappointed to see these 2 together on one ticket.

It's Obama for nothing for me this election. I don't believe the Clintons should be able to take a democrats vote for granted.

I don't think anyone who supports Barack Obama wants to see the two of them on a ticket together. Hillary would want him because of his electricity and appeal to young voters, but that is just the reason he would stay far, far away from her!

FACT CHANCE!!!!

FAT CHANCE!!!!!

Yeah, right!!

Go Obama 08!!!!!

No Sorry but who said Hillary Clinton will be nominated? And I seriously doubt if Obama would want her as a running mate.

Hillary now, Obama later.

Another attempt to marginalize Obama. There are fundamental differences between the two in a number of areas, and Obama is honestly much stronger than her on most of these issues. It's not fair to diminish what he has accomplished. And the voters will show their support for Obama over Clinton in the end.

Another desperate move by Clinton camp. What a joke.

Clinton is trying to attach herself to Obama because tears, smear campaigns, and Bill have done nothing but tank her numbers.. Please step aside Hillary and let Obama lead. She doesn't want Obama she wants his supporters.

I really don' t think that Obama would accept a back seat to Hillary and for that matter I don't think he would want her as his running mate with all the Clinton Baggage. You really need to have a fresh face to meet the scrutiny of the republicans in a presidential debate. It would be nice to see John Edwards as Obamas running mate.

clinton will be crazy to take barack "the snub" obama as her running mate. He is bush in the making. talking big about being inclusive and as the camera turns away his face changes….

The only reason I'm FOR a Dem is because of Obama as Prez…NOT a CLINTON, EVER!

Clinton/Obama-Obama/Clinton 2008!!!!
YES YES YES…Sen Obama and Sen, Clinton Please Considering this…This is the only to unite the supporters of each side side…and AMERICA!!!!

TOGETHER WE STAND

I love the idea of either a Clinton/Obama or a Obama/Clinton ticket. If it's the former, I would have Hilary commit to allowing the VP to have a significant role-not as much as Dick Cheney though. Also, the role of Bill Clinton would have to be laid out. Maybe he can spend his time working on his foundation and not be directly involved?

I do not think there are much differences between Hillary and Obama. If they can work together, why not? Experience + Hope.

As a staunch HILLARY supporter, I could not agree more. Obama would be an outstanding VP. That is where he belongs at this time.

Obama needs room to grow, folks. He may inspire people now, but when it comes to the nitty-gritty, he'd be lacking and need too much hand-holding. He's a fine candidate, but let's not set him up for failure.

Go HILLARY '08

The Clintons are weak and they know they cant win the general election without Barack, but he can win by a landslide by himself. She is the weaker candidate Barack has everything!!!

Obama 08!!

She's crying again, and her chair is suggesting him as VP. Any more dirty tricks before tomorrow?

How pompous. This is indeed an attempt to marginalize Barack. When Obama becomes the nominee, I don't think he'll even consider Hillary as a running mate… Bill's ego definitely couldn't handle that anyway.

Hillary and Co. are shaking in their booties right now because Obama's on the move and they are slowly sinking. Is this really the last ditch effort? They couldn't come up with anything better?

Oh please, here we go again. I don't think Obama will play second fiddle to Clinton. It is true that she needs him, but I dont think he needs her.

John Edwards 2008!

What is this all about? Do they not realize that primaries in 22 states will be taking place tomorrow?

Instead of telling the United States that Obama would be a good #2, they should let THE PEOPLE first decide who will be #1.

Andrew, you got it right… another attempt to marginalize Obama.

CNN now needs to go to Barack Obama's campaign chairperson and ask them the same question.

Fair is fair, CNN

I think Obama would be a great president in 4 to 8 years but he is just not ready yet to take on the problems of this country right now. If he took a prominent roll or a influential cabinet spot and gained more experience ( he has only been in the senate a few years and he is so young) he would be seasoned and ready to fight any republican which at that time will be a strong group and all democrats would stand behind him then.

He is just 4-8 years to early and we need experience and hard work right now - his speaking abilities are great but he needs more policy making.

Hillary is the president whos time is right now. Obamas will follow.
That way we have 16 years 8 strong now and 8 strong after that. Thats what people are missing here.

Hillary is getting my vote.

Of course it's a good idea. The only way clinton could win a general election would be to have Obama on the ticket, and McAuliffe knows this. This is just a ploy to get people to think that they could still get Obama even if they vote for clinton.

I'm sure Obama won't pick clinton for v.p., she would hurt him more than she would help him.

I ADORE THIS MEMO:

"Obama secured endorsements from: Janet Napolitano, Democratic governor of Arizona; Kathleen Sebelius, Democratic governor of Kansas; Claire McCaskill, Democratic senator from Missouri; Tim Kaine, Democratic governor of Virginia, and Ben Nelson, Democratic senator from Nebraska.

What do all these states have in common? They are all states that George W Bush won twice. If you’re the next generation of Democrat, trying to appeal to the centre of the country, Obama is your candidate. Clinton takes the party and national politics back to the polarised red-blue ideological past. The danger of this is that if you are someone in the middle – on the purple edge of the red-blue divide – then the polarising nature of Clinton might mean that if she were the candidate you might vote Republican. Obama is the salve for this syndrome."

obama2008

andre in florida: you are right on, desperate is what this smells as, first the tears, obviously not working now this? obama will never accept her as his running mate, he is trying to move this country forward not backward, all her schemes and plots will back fire! we are not gonna buil bridges to the past, only to the future to make America super- duper strong!

The junior senator should be honored to be considered as VP. How is he stronger on most issues, Andrew? His rhetoric may be stronger- but his positions actually don't go as far (Hillary is for Universal Health Care and Obama's plan falls too short and thus probably won't happen. That's not just my opinion- read Krugman's article in the New York Times). People can say that they like the way that he speaks or that he "inspires" them, but it can never be said that he has a stronger understanding or grasp of the issues. Seems a VP position would be a good fit.

Andrew: Pretty sure of that, are you? Even after Clinton got over a quarter of a million votes more than Obama when NONE of the candidates had campaigned in Florida? (Well, except, of course, for Obama, who ran ads there before the primary.)

Sure he would say that. It's just an attempt to slow his momentum. But it won't work.

This is an attempt by the Clinton camp to bring Obama down.

No, he will not be her VP.

Obama is a genuine person. Clinton is a politician.

Obama 08!

She's courting his votes with that, desparately. No way would she choose a veep who upstages her. Go Obama!

Obama all the way
on Clinton,s on the ticket..

Obama for President! No more Clintons in the White House. If Hillary wins, she will be the vice president and Bill will be the president.

ahahahaha……..

Stand-up comedy is a plus on HRC's side. On the other hand, it ain't happen. Especially, when he is more chances than ever before.

Good news..since I never seen any accomplishment Obama had during his senate and being vp can made him a good candidates as president in the future.

She is really pushing this because she thinks that it will help her if she can convince people that a vote for her will get people Obama too. Thing is, it is kind of pathetic. She needs Obama. She would be poison to Obama as a VP running mate, not that she would take second anyway.

I can't see either of them on the same ticket.. I am pretty sure quite a few obama supporters quite peeved if he did cop out and run with her! But… did any one else catch lou dobbs getting roasted for promoting hatred against immigrants?? wow! that was sure something. That man is such a bag of wind, im glad someone is finally calling him out. Theres no reason to let him continue to spew his intolerance without any consequences!

I agree, Andrew. this ain't gonna happen because Obama is going to be the candidate. The more people he reaches, the more people like him. Go Barack!

Help us Hillary!!!

yes, and Einstein would make a good 2nd author

Obama is simply the best and even Hillary's people speculate if she's president she will lose the White House to republicans after 4 years. Vote Obama and let's keep the White House for 8 years and more to come. Further, Hillary's statement about it taking Clinton's to clean up behind both Bush's, we lost the White House to Bush because of Clinton. Hillary is very transparent if we keep our thinking caps on, that's why for so many reasons Obama is simply the best.

this is an unbeatable ticket

CLINTON OBAMA 08

I hope democrats will be smart and choose this combo

Lets make history
bestof both worlds

CLINTON OBAMA 08

Clinton's love Blacks so much before the votes.

Its after the votes when they lose that bothers me.

I think it's hysterical how you continue to play into the Clinton campaign's attempts to marginalize Obama. If I, an average citizen sitting here in my living room, can see what they are doing…WHY CAN'T YOU?

You need to be more selective about what you report. Particularly when the rest of us can see that you merely being used.

Disgusting. The Clinton campaign can't shock me enough! Wow!!!!!!!!! God help us find our freedom from this Clinton desperation.

The Clintons need to GO HOME!

Senator Obama will pick a vice-president that has integrity.

Obama for President '08/12

Hillary needs Obama not the other way around.

Obama 08!!!!!

…meh, sounds like a cheap trick to curb the Obama surge as of late.

Take the votes of Dems that are desperate to "unite" the party.

Then leave Obama high and dry….

Hilary won't put him in ANY position… because he isn't gonna just sit and shut his mouth.

He is gonna be outspoken and popular still… while Hilary is glared at.

That would make her stomach churn… cause she is "human"

That ticket is perfect- Clinton + Obama

Jack Nicholson endorsed Hillary Clinton for president today where is the buzz on that CNN????

I believe the answer was "Thanks but no thanks, and let me say that again …" , and in case you were wondering, conventional wisdom says that Obama wouldn't touch Hillary as his running mate.

HILLARY CLINTON and GEN. WES CLARK!!!!

Nonsense! an attempt to slow his momentum, and divert his votes—dirty tricks…it won't work.

Nice try,

BUT NO!

Obama is doing this with the people as VP

Again! Give me a break! On the eve of Super Tuesday, Team Clinton tries to get undecideds to believe that Hillary would choose Barack? Obama would be a better president so we should vote for him outright. Hillary just mobilizes the right wing fundraising machine. I swear these guys will say ANYTHING to get elected.

Hillary should NOT even be on the short list for OBAMA. Indeed, there are other BETTER candidates out there: Edwards, Biden, Richardson… with stronger MORAL virtues. Hillary knows this; so she cannot but keep CRYING—BIG SISSY!!!

This is a sleezy attempt by the Clinton campaign to try to make Obama seem junior to Clinton. Obama doesn't want Clinton because the same people who would NEVER vote for a Clinton still exist, and Obama wouldn't accept VP because the job is already taken by the copresident Bill Clinton.
I am one of those independents who will Vote for Obama over McCain but McCain over Clinton. I will not for any reason ever vote for the Clinton's.

Such arrogance.

This ticker post is just further proof that Martin's political articles are not worth the grain of salt I read them with.

Hillary should NOT even be on the short list for OBAMA. Indeed, there are other BETTER candidates out there: Edwards, Biden, Richardson… with stronger MORAL virtues. Hillary knows this; so she cannot but keep CRYING—BIG SISSY!!!

The Brits and other nations that have had women politicians are probably laughing at our CRY BABY!!! I really do not care how people try to explain this away. For someone with such a great experience, this is truely shameful!!!

Terry McAuliffe? He is such a goof. He was a disaster during the 2004 election. Why would anyone take him seriously? He is like a rabid, sound-bite puppet.

Maybe as VP he could get a bit of experience!!

HILLAY - THE GREAT MADAME PRESIDENT!

Desperate attempt to stop the momentum of Obama.

Are you kidding me. Of course, they would say something like that the day before Super Tuesday. With The Clinton's everything is so calculated.

Yeah vote for Obama and his running mate Ted Kennedy? Welcome depression.

Obama needs time to figure it all out-Hillary clearly already has time and a lot of it -who is Obama anyway? 46 from illinois and he's done what? Knows who? President-yea, right. VP maby.
nothing against Obama but get real…

It would never happen. Why on earth would someone like Obama want a job like that!!!! He would have to be tied to her policies and Bill Clinton would be there trying to edge him out on every issue.

You know when Lyndon Johnson asked his friend John Nance Garner, who was Roosevelt's VP, if he should take the spot that Kennedy was offering Garner famously told him "The vice presidency isn’t worth a pitcher of warm spit”.

Anyway, if Hillary Clinton wins the nomination he can run again in four years against President McCain.

Sen. Obama is too good for that job.

No way! He doesn’t need her; he can beat the republicans standing on his head.

Obama 08!

This is called spinning folks, they will say anything to get to the white house…

no barack HUESIEN obama

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Obama turns out to be the winner of the Democratic Party, he'll will be wise enough to choose his own V/P … bringing "change" wouldn't represents naming Clinton as his running mate.

This does not a pretty picture make. It is a transparent attempt by Clinton's campaign to capture undecideds - those folks who are still making up their minds between Clinton and Obama - implication is clear "go ahead - Vote for Clinton - you can still get Obama….." I hope voters across the country see through this.

I think that Obama is too smart to get sucked into the endless bickering and drama that is the Clintons. Al Gore by all accounts suffered through endless battles behind the scenes with Hillary's power grabs. I think Obama would be dumb to get in on that.

Honestly, I think Hillary is trying to keep this possibility alive in people's minds because it is a way to siphon off voters who think they can have it both ways.

I sincerely hope Senator Obama would reject such an offer. It is critically important that candidates who push for changes in the way campaigns are funded stick with that idea. Senator Clinton accepts money from special interest PACS and lobbyists. Senator Obama has raised millions from the people. While Senator Clinton says she is for public funding of campaigns, neither she, nor her husband President Clinton have done much to forward this plan.

I personally think a candidate can succeed (as Senator Obama has done so successfully) by appealing to the public to provide campaign funds in small donations. Senator Clinton has never and I do not believe will ever try such an approach. Senator Obama is the right future for America; I hope we choose that future.

I dont know why so many people hate Hillary. I think it has to do with the right-wing brain-washing. I understand if people hate Bush, he has weakened our country, militarily, economically and reputation worldwide. But Hillary, what has she done that makes people hate her?

Are you kidding me ? Why would Obama want to put himself as #3 (behind Bill) in the White House? His job would simply to be covering up all the messes that Bill and Hillary would make. He would spend his entire career trying to smooth over the divisiveness and cutthroat politics that would ensue from the hatred and revenge other politicians feel toward the Clintons and they for them. Let Hilary be VP or better yet, stay in the Senate where she can do some good.

I DON"T WANT A DUAL PRESIDENCY WITH BILL AND HILLARY AND SHE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THIS ALONE!!!

How arrogant of the Clintons to even float the idea..!!!! Why doesn't she offer herself as a possible VP candidate!!! It makes a lot more sense.

Obama is too smart to waste his potential and political life to playing" pool boy" to Hillary and Bill. Go find some noodnik with no spine and no future to play that role.
Hillary has no intention of sharing power, the limelight or anything with anyone except Bill. Period.

If Hillary is the nominee, they don't have to consider or search a vice president because that position will be already filled by BILL CLINTON!!!!

So, don't even think about Barack!!!

Barack Obama 08!!!!

Comon on every issue this ticket makes sense!!! Besides two liberal SENATORS heres why its a perfect ticket for DEMS:

Hillary would lead Health Care, and a reponsible withdraw from Iraq, she has better vision for expansion for our Green Economy and the benefits. All of which she is clearly better situated to lead.

Obamas main weakness inexperience, VP gives him that credibility. As a VP he could visit our enemys. HILLARY IS RIGHT we cant give the recognition of the presidency to the worst leaders in the world, we can however send the VP!!!
The VP oversees the senate, he would be perfectly situated to UNITE the senate. The VP does have power and he could be incharge of making government more transparent. Then in 2016 he could lead our country to finish the job!!!!

DEMS DO YOU REALIZE THE CHANGE WE COULD MAKE WITH 16 YEARS!!!!!!!!

Hillary needs Obama to win. Hillary would only bring Obama down. No way, I think he would pick a different woman, a strong independent person (one with a Bill hooked on to her hip)

Obama is a much better candidate– he's intelligent and experienced (four more years in elected office than Clinton), and he has the integrity, good judgment, and leadership skills she lacks. Obama should be the Democratic nominee… and our next President.

Clinton may be too inexperienced to be the candidate. She never has had anything of major responsibility that went well. "HillaryCare" in 1993 was an abject failure. So was her poorly informed, responsibility-abdicating vote to allow Bush to declare war. Obama should recruit an excellent running mate, not one who is so junior and who has significant liabilities.

The Junior Senator should be honored to be considered for VP. He is NOT stronger on the issues- just stronger on the rhetoric. He's a rising star-but let's not forget-still rising. He needs to get a bit more experience and make those tough decisions and learn from mistakes (NO ONE is always right- it's arrogant to say so- the key is if one learns from their mistakes and thus gains EXPERIENCE)

Why don't say clinton like to be Obama VP ? this is a cheap shot trying to dismiss Obama! you just lost my vote! character counts! judgement counts!

The Obamabots will look so pathetic come Wednesday

I know - Oprah will make you feel better with her "feel good" show on Thursday

There, there, Oprah will make it all better………

Hillary has VP already. His name is Bill as Joe Biden suggested. Only a fool would accept that post. Well some will accept in a heart beat. NOT OBAMA! This is beyond the point. Let's talk in a couple of months. OBAMA will be looking for a VP!

I have never seen such excitement for a candidate, as I see for Obama. He is very inspirational. And I will vote for him. Not Hillary.

Of course, it came from the Hillary campaign, IT MUST BE SLEAZY!!

Obama supporters have lost all rationality.

CNN IS FAKE AND BACKING OBAMA… why is it that everytime someone has something to say about obama if it not singing his praise than the site do not post what said ……..will here we go again FAKE. PPRPHET

OBAMA

HILARY 08

To put it simply Obama's Health Care proposal is to "Lower the Premiums so more people can afford it"

So What if: Insurance Companies will later on Increase the rate by saying: "New & Improved Service'…then this will create new disparities in the provision of Health Care.

So what if : The economy worsens, still people will not be able to buy, any health care insurance premiums; its food over medicines.

So what if: Insurance Companies will gather together and enforce a collective increase of insurance premiums, will you be able to negotiate again or fight the corporate insurance giants?

Be that as it may: UNIVERSAL Health Care is still the best oprion for the US at his day and time.

Hillary Plan is still in tune with the present as well as the fututre.

Obama's proposal is quiet simplistic fot a a very complex problem. That shows his Youth & Inexperience. I hope he will just be patient and take his chance 8 years after Clinton has fixed the economy. LIke any mothers, she feels the pain and knows how to keep the family together.

This would be a strong ticket. Obama is a wonderful politian he has to little experience currently to be the president however as vice president he would gain the experience necessary to run when the next election comes around. Plus having the two candidates together would complete each others strengths and eliminate their weaknesses.

TOGETHER WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL

Wait…I thought he was unexperienced, a "roll of the dice," not to mention a fan of Ronald Reagan who reminds her of Bush who can't take a stand on tough issues? Which one is it, Senator? Get back to me when you've thoroughly focus grouped the question.

Clinton supporters–does the double talk and deception ever get to you, or is it all justified if she wins?

He's just saying that to encourage people who are torn between the two to vote for Clinton–that way they'll feel like they can have both of them. But the truth is, Clinton and Obama would never consider VPing for the other; Obama is categorically opposed to lobbyist and special interest and Clinton thrives on those groups.

Give American Citizens the Voice, Not the Special Interest Groups

Americans for Obama and Obama for Americans

How curious that Senator Clinton's own people are admitting that Senator Obama would make a great choice for VP, simply because he "excites" the people! Hmmm …. leaves me wondering if we are to conclude that Senator Clinton therefore 'scares' the people?

I agree. Terry McCauliffe is like the "3rd Clinton" and every bit as sleazy. He is clearly just being patronizing and trying to marginalize Obama. I am a Democrat who will NEVER vote for a Clinton because all they care about is themselves and their own egos. They literally make me want to puke when I see them on tv.

Obama, on the other hand, is a transformative leader of REAL INTEGRITY (something that is nothing but a punchline for the "Clintonistas.")

Vote your hopes and not your fears tomorrow, America!!!!

GOBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand why people can't see experience is important and Obama has none. Look at what's going on in the real worldthere is a time to dream but this is not the time. Go Hillary

Experience cannot be bought, it gets learnt. Clinton has been around the corridors of political experience much longer than Obama. She is also older than Obama. Has been in the Democratic party longer than Obama. The Democratic Leadership Council created by Bill Clinton did a lot in bringing Democrats back to power in the 90s. The Clinton administration cannot be disregared all of a sudden. I would rather have whatever magic Bill Clinton pulled to have such a fantastic economy in the 90s to be repeated by his wife if he can whisper it in her ears again on the pillows of the Whitehouse bedroom. There is nothing wrong with that. Barack has no national track record, the Clintons do. I think people are simply getting paranoid saying they don't want any more Clinton in the White House. WHAT'S BAD ABOUT REPEATING THE CLINTON-ERA GOOD LIGE rather than take a chance on another guy you like to have a beer with …like Gorge Bush. Clinton as the nominee and Obama as running mate is a good idea but NOT the other way around.

I could not care less what Terry McAuliffe may think. I'm here to inform him that the last person I would be excited by is a barak obama. I understand all the young white college girls "love " him, that's their problem. I will fail to vote rather than vote for him, clinton or McCain.

PLEASE NO MORE BUSH OF ANY KIND AS PRES

Sorry Terry, your desperation is showing! Obama's going to be at the top of the ticket!

Obama 08!

Honestly, I think they'd be great running mates. Similarities and differences aside, they could be a great team, and maybe pull our country up out of the frying pan the Bush Administration put us in and continues to do every time that "dee dee dee" mentions the words Iran, Al Quada or Iraq or just opens his mouth in general.

Obama is 'junior'……. he needs to be more involved in the Senate. Missed most of the voting… maybe he can catch up on that aspect of politics.

GO HILLIARY

Here's my opinion- If Obama wins, I am either voting for Mccain in Nov, or I am not voting at all. I just don't think Obama is up to par to handle the crisis in this country and oustise this country, He needs more years before getting himself into a serious involvement in the White House. I don't want to regret that I voted him for the sake of "feeling good about it" because he moves people. He's a good talker but I don't think he will bring the results this country needs.

i think if clinton is going to win her husband make another adventure

Hillary should not hire Barack. He is too nosey.

This country is ready for CHANGE, and Obama is the only one that can bring change,we have had enough of the Clintons, Hillary likes to cry when it benefits her, emotional blackmail,typical Clinton style. GO OBAMA

NO MORE CLINTONS ( PERIOD )

Obama is way to smart to even think about it , Not going to happen.

I can't even in my wild imagination think that Obama would agree to be Clinton's VP. I'm not even happy about her becoming his VP.

Let's let the Clinton's cool down.

OBAMA 08!!

It looks like after Hillary's tears were deemed wasted, they are bargaining for being Obama's V.P.

I don't think Obama is that stupid.
V.P. Hillary will start campaigning on Day one for her 2012 election against Obama.
Obama is better off with Kerry or Richardson for V.P.

She knows he would never be part of a ticket back to the 20th century. This is a transparent attempt to lower his stature now that she is worried about losing. Another day-before-the election trick.

Let's count the other day-before-the election coincidences: (1) fairy tale; (2) emotional outburst; (3) casino accusation; (4) race; and (5) Rezco.

This is the reason so many of us long-time Democrats are tired of the Clintons — they are shameless.

oh, good grief.

I have never seen such a transparently uncouth political tactician as I have seen in Mrs. Clinton.

BOO BOO BOO THEY BOTH STINK WITH THEIR WEIRD IDEAS!

NO SOCIAL LIBS, LEAVE US REAL AMERICANS ALONE!!

It still bothers me that everyone seems to be banking on "hope" and "promises." Remember the Pied Piper? Dreams are good and nice and heartwarming — all so fuzzy. We'll find out in four years that we can't live on dreams unless someone can make them come true — and that someone is probably not someone with a flowery tongue and no experience.

NEWS CNN - Say it again!

Earlier I saw they were have live internet coverage of an Obama rally. Yet not one word of the national town hall meeting Hillary is having right now coast to coast on her web site and the Hallmark channel.

Hopefully the moderator (before it is over) will post and all you commenters can get the word out.

Hillary need's to give up her votes now and save the embarrasment in the end.
She and her running mate ex pres. needs to give-up, give-in, and allow America to become the super-power it has always been.

I would just like to say that people forget we are in a war and need experience in the White House. I think Obama would be lucky to be asked to sit next to Clinton. I would like to know how Americans can forget that inexperience in the White House is what got us in the mess we are in. That an indorsement by the almighty Kennedy is not a good thing. Want more of what we have you'll have that with those Obama and Kennedy.

Hillary chairman is looking to save his job! I guess he thinks Nyers are foolish to give a vote for Hillary LOL!!!

Say NO to Broom Hillary and her gang of tricksters.

Go Obama 08 ,,,,,,,,,

This is a ruse by McAuliffe, to get folks to back Hillary, thinking if they do that they'll also get Obama. This dream ticket will NEVER materialize. Study the factors and players. It just won't happen. Don't be fooled. And, just as an exercise, put all your emotional investments aside. Forget the names. Open up, and feel from your gut. This is Obama's time. Like it or not, he's the right person at the right time. You know this. No bad reflection on Hillary per se. She's fine. It's just that Obama is a perfect fit for this particular momeny in history. I know that's hard for those who have had Clinton in mind for a long time. Even if she wins. It would be a loss. This is Obams's moment. The times they are a changing.

With Obama, it's definitely four years of a McCain Republican administration.

These Obama Kool Aid drinkers are completely delusional.

The Democrats best hope of defeating the Republicans is Hillary Clinton.

NEWS FLASH: Hillary Clinton raises $13.5 million in January!

This is impressive, but Obama raised $32 million in January. For 2007 Hillary raised $118 million to Obama's $104 million. But WE ALL must remember Hillary moved $10 million from her Senate campaign money "war" chest into the presidential campaign "war" chest. So in 2007 Hillary actually raised $108 million to Obama's $104 million. Therefore Obama has outraised Hillary Clinton by $15 million since January 2007 to January 2008.

This makes him very competitive going forward after Feb. 5th.

Obama in 08!

Obama is the best for Dems. If the Dems party loose this all important person for the nomination they have cost this world the greatest service and the greatest good.

Obama for President, Clinton for the Senate!

HILARY 08

Philip get a therapist !

Clinton is the best for America. Only can she beat the Republic!!! If Obama wins, he will lose any of REP candadites easily. America is not ready for Obama as President. Wake up, smart american guys!!! It's time to take action.

It certainly seems Clinton needs Obama more than Obama needs Clinton….There are, after all, "Obamacans". I would venture to say there is not a single Republican that would vote for Clinton, lol.

People who endorsed or support Obama are out of their mind. What Obama did for our CountrY? This is cutting in and snatching because his color.

Philip:

Have you ever ed that story…The pied Piper..it was the old folks that were at fault because they wnted to chaet and lie, and spin

lol

I don't hate Hillary. I think she is more of the same. We need to change the way we do politics to ensure we'll never see another Bush/Chaney in the White House. Not in 4 yrs; not in 8 yrs; not ever!! We need someone completely diffferent. I truly believe Obama will give the citizens the upperhand so that we will run the government and not be ran by the government. This is what is urgent. Hillary can say she'll put in place new policies, but this can and will be undone. Easy come, easy go we seen this 7 years ago. Impowerment will endure. Hillary is divisive. The majority of Americans will never believe in her(some dems, all reps and most ind).

Obama 08′

If Hillary is on the ticket the Dems will lose big time.

She is despised throughout this country.

Dems pay attention:

Hillary is UNELECTABLE!!

Get that through your heads.

She is the most divisive person in politics today (the Current Occupant included).

BTW I am an Independent….an Independent who as sick as I am of the Republican party would never vote for someone as dishonorable and disingenuous as Hillary!

There are millions more just like me.

I live in a screwed up country that we can never find a large majority in anything.
Maybe I can go to Canada or Mexico and get one of my jobs back.

I think Obama would be a great VP. I just feel he is a little wet behind the ears. How could the first woman and the first African American on the ticke be stopped?

My only fear is that he wouldn't try hard enough to hedge his bets in case she lost. So is he tough enough? That's my only question.

Cheers,

Another Clinton's sarrogates injecting mean spirit to other candidates. After I read stuff like this, being undecided, surely doesn't persuade me to vote for her at all!

I spoke to McCain campaigners today, I said if Obama doesn't make it I will vote for MCCAIN!

it would be alot better if Obama as president and AL Gore as Vice rather than Clinton…

If i was Obama, i will solicite Al Gore First then Clinton last.

It just looks alot better that way, when you have two honest people in the White House.
And that was ruin by the clinton's Action.

And yes, AL Gore had alot to do with the economy during the Clinton era. And it seems the Clinton is taking the credit for that.

So they are still lying to the public.

What experience that Obama doesn't have. Tell me if Hillary ever ran a corner store or manage anything…..The last time I checked they had the same if not almost equal experience…..

This is a cheap attempt to make voters think they can still get Obama if they vote for Hillary… NOT!

If Hillary gets the nomination, she needs Obama, but… Obama has no need for her and in fact she would just drag him down.

Half the country hates Hillary, while Obama has a very high favorable rating and very low negative rating.

EZ choice - Obama all the way.

Yes We Can

I agree that Clinton/Obama would be unbeatable. However, I would not vote for it because Obama would be a sellout. And besides, like most people in this country - he can't stomach being in the same room with her.

What a con job by this sleazeball! The day before Sooper Tuesday too. You will notice HE said it, NOT Hillary, so she can disavow it if it comes up later. IF someone is "not quite sure" if they should vote for Obama over Hillary, don't worry cuz Hillary would "really, really, REALLY consider" him for her running mate later. What the heck then, I should just vote for Hillary now cuz Obama would come along anyway, right? After Hillary locks it up tomorrow, Obama will be just a distant memory to that gang. The Clintonistas at their finest. God help us if this gang gets back in the WH.

Obama '08!

A vote for a tearful clinton is a sympathy vote. We are electing a leader not an emotional crybaby who may break up in tears during a personal bout with the other world leaders.

I would direct everyone to Roland Martins article on this "dream team". I agree with him that neither ticket (Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama) would be appealing to the Vice-Presidential candidate. It sounds good on paper but it would be problematic in the end.

Go Hillary!! She won the debate with Obama, hands-down. Did you see that he would take her answers and make them his, when clearly he didn't know before she had spoken!!! Such a thief - admit it Obama, the woman is the BEST candidate and you should throw in the towel!!!!! Go Hillary tomorrow!!!

We miss years of Clinton! Gasoline price was cheaper than a bottle of water price,stock market was up,up and up.us dollar was strongest in the world!
Go Hillary,08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is quite a tactic on her part: Make everyone think that they get a 2-for-1 deal with her, and end up with the inspiring change candidate as her lackey.

We'll see what happens, but I for one would like to see Obama in the top spot. If he's on a ticket, I'll vote for it, but preferably for him as President.

I wouldn't even consider Hillary Clinton for Vice President. Barack Obama has quickly closed the gap after the debates and after the televised election forums, such as MySpace/MTV's program that aired this weekend.

In fact, younger voters clearly disdain Sen. Clinton in favor of Barack Obama. The tide is turning with middle aged voters too. I see an Obama nomimation. Thank goodness too.

I think Hillary would be smart to consider Obama as a running mate. As some one who voted Obama into the Senate, and will be voting for Hillary tomorrow, I think they both are wonderful and would make a good team. Why some Obama supporters try to twist this to make her look bad, is beyond me. If she were NOT to consider him, they would be saying the same nasty things. She can't win. There is VERY little difference between these two, whether you want to believe it or not…

I'm an Obama supporter all the way. I will vote republican if Obama does not get the nomination OR the vice president spot anyone. He must be president or nothing at all.

Why does Hilary shed tears on the ve of every major primary elections…. Is this the latest Clinton tactics?

Obama would be very lucky to be offered the vice-president position on Hillary's ticket. Since he has no experience whatsoever in national politics, this would be the time for him to learn the ropes. You Obama supporters sound like the position would be a step down. Get real here. It would be a huge step up for Obama.

If Obama does not get the nomination and Hillary does, I will volunteer/vote Republican. ( This includes Mitt Romney)

Obama fans are either incredibly loyal or incredibly stupid because you can't really vote for someone who does not have any experience whatsoever unless you are one of the two. When you apply for job, the employer always looks for someone with experience, not somone a fresh graduate. You can't just become a CEO of a large corporation just out of university. People who are inspired by his preaches are equally stupid because he really does not have any substance, talk talk talk and don't know how to walk…

Like other's said before, Clinton is a ticket back to the '90s, Obama would do well to stay away from it; anyway she'll probably go with someone with some national security/international credit… But it doesn't matter, because if she gets the nomination she'll loose.

Additionally, she'll loose the House and the Senate…. to a Uber-United Anti-Clinton Charged Republican-Independent supported McCain run…

Her commercial on the Hallmark Channel is a joke… it's a network of rooms full of plants, breaking up her stump speech between cities reading off leading questions. She even called it "Solutions for America", seems to imply that she believes America is a "problem."

People like Kim.. If Hillary and Barack share the same views pretty much, why would you vote Republican if Hillary gets the nomination? That makes no sense, and obviously you really don't care what your candidate stands for. That's pretty sad.

Clinton needs Obama for the youth vote.

She needs Obamas rhetoric.

obama cant use Clintons experience on a VP ticket. We all know the VP does nothing.

So it doesnt work with Obama being prez.

obama should pick that female candidate from Kansas. That would be an excellent ticket for him.

Joe Biden would be ok, but again, a senator should pick a govenor.

Hillary already has a VP in the waiting room, his name is Bill—Richardson that is-brilliant Hispanic politician who would also make a wonderful President one day.

I have always thought they would be an unstoppable team. Clinton/Obama 2008/2012 Obama/? 2016/2020!!!

gee, i wonder if he'll over look the clintons calling him a drug dealer and a radical islamist

IF HILLARY GETS THE NOMINATION, I WILL NOT VOTE

Yea, Clinton did Sooooo much for this country (sarcasm)….Hillary's Chairman knows that if Clinton is the Democratic rep McCain will be the president. The Chairman is just trying to build false hope. If Obama loses I will defenetly vote for McCain!!!!!

This is a blatant attempt to portray Barack as the weaker candidate. Hillary has lost all of her momentum, and this guy is talking like she has already won. This is typical Clinton underhandedness. OBAMA 08!!

We must think of it this way, 8 years with hillary and 8 years with obama, then we could make some headway for this country.

FLIP-FLOPPING AGAIN!

If Hillary really felt this way she would have said it during the debate.

This is a thinly veiled attempt to belittle Obama's leadership and apparent momentum.

DON'T BE HACKED BY HILLARY!

If she plays dirty like this in the spotlight, what schemes will she play out behind the oval office doors?

SHE CAN'T BE TRUSTED!!!!!!!

Please you guy's should give me a break form some one who so call obama, first obama has no ex[erience whatsoever in national politics, so he would be very, very lucky to be offered the vice-president position on Hillary'stictet.

Independents, such I myself, will not vote for a ticket with Clinton on it. But don't you worry, OBAMA will choose wisely.

GO OBAMA!

Lord, no! Obama should never consider being a running mate to HRC. It would be the biggest mistake of his life and I hope that all his advisors will give him advice against this. Sheer folly to even think of it.

Wait a minute WHAT EXPERIENCE does Clinton have she cannot take credit as a FIRST wife for EXPERIENCE. She was a child lawyer for less than a year and a corporate lawyer for 15! SHE IS SUCH A FAKE if Obama doesn't win I am voting for MCCAIN!

Is Hillary really the best candidate? It depends on the 'meaning of what is is'…If Hillary 'is' the most savvy candidate as she learned from Bill… she may be the most qualified. But if Hillary 'is' the most inspirational leader, least devisive personality….then Hillary may not be the most qualified. You see it depends on what the 'meaning of is is'. We learned this from Bill that words can have atleast two different meanings….so which meaning for best candidate 'is' applicable?

We had good economy because of technology that was used during he war. Let anybody not fool you!

Bill Clinton …. and JFK were younger and less experience than Barack Obama when they were elected President!!!

OBAMA 08

"CNN IS FAKE AND BACKING OBAMA"
————————————-
This is a strange comment to post under this article… (I haven't found global bias on any of the major sites, its there with op/ed writers, but that's what they are paid to do)

This statement released today, of all days, means she is panicked. Big time. The only result behind this directive is to get undecides to vote for her, an offer of two-for-one.

Its pretty clever, on the surface, I must admit, but its crude and ugly and I don't want a president so Machiavellian and desperate.

The more the Clinton camp opens their mouths the farther their foots get inserted. Obviously the Clintons need "obama" to try and sway voters, but Obama would never put Hillary on his ticket, or accept a VP position on hers. There are to many People who would never vote for her and it would cheapen him. Hillary has way too much baggage and Obama is fresh, why would he ruin it by adding her? He can run on his own merit without attaching a Clinton to his ticket.

Seems to be a concensus building that supports Obama's recent comments… Obama would get the votes of the Hillary supporters, but the reverse is not true in nearly the same proportion.

I am an independent voter that has traditionally voted Republican. However, Obama has captured my imagination in a way that I never believed a politician could. He really has given me hope that America's better days are ahead of us. I look forward to his presidency, which will hopefully be free of the Clinton's. (Why not Daschle for VP?)

Back to my initial comment, I would vote for Obama in a heartbeat regardless of what mule's rear end the GOP carts out there. But, given Hillary as an alternative, I cast my vote in the most relevant anti-Hillary way. Yes, even if that means voting for (gasp!) Romney.

Hillary '08

Rechi, try telling that to college DROP out CEO and founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates.

H-Nah, this isn't something we Obama voter's want to see. We are only for him, not Clinton at all. We don't think like her, we don't act like her, we don't have the same views, We DON'T LIKE HER.

So according to them Obama is not ready to be president on Day 1 . . . however, as a vice president, if anything happens to the president, Obama is ready to be president on Day 1 . . . they can't have it both ways!

Obama/Oprah 08′ the real winners… they can sit and do a talk show every morning… because that is all obama does…. talk talk talk… and never actually says how he is going to accomplish any of the thing he says he will

Abraham Lincoln had about as much experience as Obama does. Bill Clinton didn't have much experience either when he was sworn in. And for that matter, plenty of recruiters from big companies always look for the best and brightest young college graduates. It's not always about experience.

Also, going on a ticket with Hillary would go against every major theme of his campaign, especially that of changing the politics of Washington. It's true that Obama would be a great boost for the Hillary campaign, but she'd be nothing but baggage if he got nominated. Obama brings voters outside of the Democratic mainstream; the youth vote, independents and far more Republican crossovers. She needs him, because she's a weaker overall candidate against the GOP.

I LOVE BARAK OBAMA BUT IF HE RUNS ON A TICKET WITH HILLARY CLINTON, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR THEM. I WILL SADLY VOTE REPUBLICAN. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD I EVER VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON. SHE IS JUST BAD NEWS. SHE COMES ACROSS AS SELF SERVING, DICTATORIAL, POLARIZING, AND PATRONIZING. ALL THE THINGS BARAK OBAMA IS NOT. I CAN NOT BELIEVE SOME ONE OF HIS TALENTS AND VISION WOULD EVER AGREE TO RUN AND A TICKET WITH THAT WOMAN

Why count your chicken before they are hatched? Let wait for the Democratic Party to select their presidential candidate

I have been reading the mean spirited things you people say about Hillary. You don't talk about the issues that Obama stands for, all you talk about is talk. I mean he inspires you, to do what? If he was president today how would your lives be better? I want to know. I can say if Hillary was president today, everyone would have health insurance. We would be starting to bring the troops home. She would have a group of people on global warming, new jobs, making our country borders safe, their are so many things she would be doing. She does have experience . No matter what you think she is smart and can do so much for our country and my gosh President Bill Clinton was a great President!!!!! We had great jobs more money in our pockets we were out of debt now look where we are. I don't care what he did in the white house, He didn't do it to you so get over yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary for president (yeah)

It's Obama's way or the highway! NO CLINTON TICKET!!

Hillary Clinton is clearly the right candidate for the Democrats this year. But let's see if tommorrow your circular firing squad in tandem with the shameless media hype of Obama can make the party a mega-looser one mo time.

Look what experience has done to our country. WE NEED CHANGE PERIOD!!!

Doing the same things expecting different results is INSANE!!

GO OBAMA 08!!

How can people say Clinton needs Obama more. Last I looked, she has won more states, and continues to be the front-runner.

I am not sold on Obama. I do think he would work well with Clinton, and we would have a strong hold on the White house for 16 years.

I have a very strong reason to belief that the media even CNN has been too biased against Clinton in their coverage. Most of the you mountain out of molehill on anything concerning Obama while you make significant issues about Hillary look insignificant. Sentiments apart, every discernible mind knows that America needs someone who is experienced enough to turn things around for good and for better,and that person is Hillary Rodham Clinton not somebody pursuing personal ambition with rhetorical lyrics. You may have personal or group issues to settle with Clintons but be patriotic to America by reportying events as they enfold. Thanks

Reichi, that was an incredibly stupid comment. You are probably one of those uneducated Clinton supporters who listens to other airheads rather than do your own research and watch the debates. It is no surprise that more educated people voted for Obama while the less educated voted for Clinton, according to exit polling.

If NObama wins, I go for McCain

Obama lost me once he played the race card

Sorry - the race card just makes me want to puke EVEN more than W does - and…

That's saying a LOT!!!!!!!!!!! - but after OJ, the Duke players, and Michael Jackson - I just can't take the race card anymore

NObama had me until he pulled the race card

Once he pulled that card, he lost me

Michelle can keep pulling it for him - so can Oprah

If NObama wins, I will stay home in November

I can't see a Republican again

But I really don't want to see someone who pulls the race card either

Not after OJ

I just can't swallow it - even though the media has - hook, line, and sinker

Obama fans base their support on like. The media has painted Obama as the second coming and the young people think they have found a prophet. The fact is, Obama is a good man with no experience. Just as Rechi comments, no company hires a unexperienced college grad into a position of importance. We are talking about the white house. How could Hillary justify asking someone with little experience be her running mate? Obama fans must realize., this is not a race to see who is the best dressed, talks the best or who is the coolest. This is for the office of the president of the untied states. WE need Max experience and leadership.

I agree with Rechi, times were good when Bill was prez and all americans prospered woman and blacks especially but most of all the economy was very prosperous. It's fine to enjoy Obama's inspiration but you guys need experience not hope. I am canadian and i am watching this election and you guys need a boost in the economy not hope that it turns around. You don't have to personally like her to vote for her but you have to use common sense something that has been lacking for 7 years. On that topic you should consider to impeach that prez as he has cost america alot more than money. How about your soldiers lives. How about the people in your country that live on the street, how about Katrina. Any american should be ashamed of there government allowing Katrina to continue without any help.

Senator Clinton has a substantive platform. Obama has rhetoric. Yes, he's exciting but he does not have the substance or vision of JFK or MLK.

He does generate excitement and that's the problem. He's generating excitement without substance. This is the same electorate that put George Buash in office twice. It has yet to learn to think.

Not in a million years…she is too polarising for even Obama to help.

Obama + his wise choice 2008!!!

You people in the media, I don't know what happened that you have more exposure of
Obama's campaign.Please try to be fair. Do I smell something fishy here. Don't be deceived of a 'wolf in a sheep clothing". People, your country is at stake. Vote with your brain and not with your senses. Clinton for 2008.

Rechi, you are extremely offensive. Obama supporters are not stupid, just the opposite. They tend to be very educated, but you would know this if you did your research. You would also know that Obama has more ELECTED experience than Clinton. Again, please do some research. Why would we vote for a person we don't trust? In your scenario, why would an Employer hire someone they don't trust? The name calling you are stooping to does nothing but show your frustration that the better person is winning.

Stupid is as stupid does.

A clue for all those who say Obama doesn't have enough experience:

He is older than JFK when he took office. And older than Bill Clinton when he took office. His resume includes more years of elected office than Hillary has, not to mention his time as a community activist. This "experience" thing is a misleading fear tactic.

And to Debra Ziegelmeyer, who tried to compare Obama's experience to Bush's, give
