CNN excellent ….Clinton News Network…
I used to respect CNN but as of late..you are no longer my main source of information. You are clearly biased..I want a news program that presents all the news, both sides of the picture so I can sift thru the information and actually use my brain not yours to have an opinion.

Watch some of Hillary's words. Just the other day she said that the two candidates with the experience were her and McCain. Think about it. If Barack win's the nomination is she saying that everyone should vote for Mccain? What will she do then? Flipflop and suddenly endorse Barack's "inexperience"?

And this thing about them being on the same ticket as if she'd be the president and him vp. How presumptuous and arrogant!!!! As if now he's the "small" man in this campaign and she's the matriarch and top gun of the two.

She is totally ignoring her delegate slump.. If the tables were turned she'd be talking about how important delegates are just like she was when she was in the lead before.

GO HILLARY: You have had to fight through media bias, party appartus bias, the Obamabot crazies. You are tough, and let those who count you out THINK AGAIN..WOOOOHOOOO

I support Obama.

I will never vote for Hillary under any circumstances.

If Obama runs with her – he is a sell out.

I would no longer support him.

I do not like McCain but I would against HRC

This would've been possible if HRC had not been so negative about Obama. How can you put these two on a ticket for democrats and expect them to win it now? The way she's tried to pull his integrity, his experience his capability to run the country to pieces its just awful…

Can you imagine the Republican ads? If something happens in the early morning who would you like to answer the phone?

haha, isnt Obama beating her in overall delegate count. So what if Ohio said it should be her, the majority of the rest of the nation (so far) are saying it should be him. When did Ohio matter more than the rest of us?

Should a man who is ONLY the first generation in America, without very much political experience, who has not suffered like the rest of us in the Civil Rights movement, who has never really lived overseas (except for some years in Indonesia with a single mother), who has NO CRISIS experience(!!!!!!), who has NEVER served in the Armed Forces of the U.S. be the President of the United States and the Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces? Can he REALLY face Putin, Ahmanjad, North Korea, etc.? I STRONGLY say NO, NO, NO!!!!!!

Cheers

If Mr. Obama doesn't agree to the dream ticket with Hillary at the top, it proves that he is nothing more than a politician who cares only for personal gain and power. He should do the right thing and become the VP for at least 4 years so he can gain some experience and real credibility. As he stands now, he will be torn to shreds by John McCain. It will be quite the eye opener once it begins. The rhetoric will evaporate and the public will realize that once again, they have been duped.

How can you people hate Karl Rove and love Hillary Clinton? Their political philosophy is identical.

I think Hillary is dreaming. If she wins, the Dems are going down to John McCain. She has no cross over apeal. Obama already has had Republicans voting for him. The only Republicans voting for her are Rush heads.

I just remembered what Clinton said " kings dream came true when a white president signed for him" something like that earlier this year. I guess the only way Obama can be a president if she grant him as a VP. She also said she doesn't know for sure if he is a christian. For her to be fully christian his Dad and Mom has to be christian. That may not qualify him as a president right? Yet you said last night "An american can be whatever they want to be!" What a Joke!

I wonder where that makes Hillary qualify as a foreign policy expert. She doesn't respect others race, religion and culture! what a 35 years experience!

I think it's just a little presumptious for Clinton to flirt with the idea of a Clinton/Obama ticket at this point. It's seems as though she hasn't realized that despite her three, hard-fought wins last night, that she is still behind in the delegate count and popular vote. Ohio voters alone don't decide who becomes the nominee.
She should really take a look at things and realize that she did not win in landslide victories Tuesday. Furthermore, she really had no choice but to win Texas and Ohio last night to even stay in the race. Let's be real, Clinton's victories Tuesday were a necessity for her! She still has a huge fight in front of her, yet she's already crowning herself the nominee. Getting ahead of ourselves, aren't we? If anything, I would love an Obama/Edwards ticket! Let's not forget, Obama is still the front-runner!

I just don't believe that all these people who voted in the primaries, largely due to the enthusiasm brought by Barack Obama, will be voting for Clinton against John McCain in the fall. Millions have voted for the Democrats, and I believe that if Obama wins the nomination, the same millions will vote for him against the republicans. But if Clinton win, you can be certain that they will not vote for her.

Isn't that interesting most of Clinton supporters suggest that they like Obama as running mate if they candidate wins the nominations (which I think is a complete fantasy because Obama is the leader in states and pledged delegates) so that he can help her win the general election. On the other hand, most Obama supporters seem to think that they do not need Clinton on the ticket to win the general election.
Here is a question for the Clinton supporters: Why do not you simply vote for the Obama, who is ahead in the nomination race, and whom most people, suggest has a better chance of winning the general election?

FOR those that don't like the tactics, you must have never run for any type of public office. It's cut throat to the end and like they have both said friends before and friends after. It's politics 101 for god sake.

If you consider yourself a democrat, but would vote for a republican candidate in the general- you should stop considering yourself a democrat. You are an independent. Have fun losing with Nader.

Barack has integrity…. Barack supporters have integrity….. Clinton does not……… no matter what she tries, Clinton/Obama won't work for Obama supporters. 'She' can not win against the republicans… Rush is spot on.

Obama/Gore ticket, now that's what I'm talking about!!

Hey Fred, Hillary didn't give Ohio NAFTA! You can thank GHW Bush for that, he started it, Bill Clinton finished it. Nowhere did Hillary sign anything. Also, if you'd listen to reports, and/or READ, Hillary was AGAINST NAFTA. However, it would be in poor taste to verbally diagree with your husband, the President of the United States. Get your facts straight.

The problem with Hillary is her baggage (NO, that's not code for gender). If she was on the ticket as pres or vice pres, she'd be bringing that baggage either way. Progressive people who really want change know there's no room for baggage on a winning ticket.

Beware! The divisive Hillary is just playing a trick to distract people's attention! Don't buy it! She only cares to get herself into the white house. Bill will take care of the VP slot!

Nothing like taking a post-partisan ticket and contaminating it with Clintonism. That's all she has to run on now. Don't let her tie his hands.

Obama/Sebelius '08

Why do people believe Clinton when they say she has so much more experience then Obama? Just because she was first lady does NOT give some HUGE amount of experience! And she hasn't been in the senate for much longer then Obama! The fact is that, although she has a little bit more experience then Obama, its hardly a trump card in her arsenal . . . not to mention most of her "experience" has been in mistakes and failures (her failed health-care plan, voting for the Iraq Invasion/Occupation) . . . and here is why she shouldn't be the democratic nomination: elect-ability. I can't tell you how many people I talk to that say, "if Hillary is the candidate, im not voting for her". People DON'T like her. Democrats will vote for whoever the candidate is. Its the swing voters, the independents who count. Those people have consistently voted for Obama in the primaries. Lets not forget that McCain is also known for getting those types of voters as well! If the two are such similar candidates as people seem to think, then shouldn't we put forward someone who has the better chance of winning? That person is Obama. . . not that it matters. Clinton cannot win the primaries unless Obama makes some huge mistake or drops out of the race, and both are unlikely.

I waited, I voted, I went back that evening, the final tally was 61 for Obama, 53 for Clinton… with 14 delegates at stake it should have been 6 to Hillary and 8 delegates for Obama. But the Texas math said the Candidate with lower percentage gets the final delegate? So it went 7-7
I felt cheated, it’s crazy! The whole deal was wrong and unfair. The person who I voted for Obama, had the highest number of votes and yet Texas math cheated him…cheated us. And then throw in the visiting republicans who voted for Hillary just to toss a monkey wrench in the works. What a sad out come to a historical vote.

Precinct # 499 Houston Texas

25% of Hillary supporters say they will vote McCain over Obama where only 10% of Obama supporters say they would vote McCain over Hillary.

Clinton/Obama – I don't like him but it just makes sense…

Otherwise, I, too, will vote McCain.

We're in two wars…We need experience.

Obama wants to unite the country.

Hillary seeks to divide her party AND the country AND the world.

Supporting Obama is the only right thing to do. Hillary and Bill have baggage that Obama hasn't even scratched the edge of. The Republicans will and they are justing hoping she gets the nom, many even voted for her last nite because they know McCain CAN'T beat Obama, but he can smear Hillary, even if Obama is VP candidate.

Obama's only hope for the White House is to go all the way as the Presidential Candidate, NOT VP. Hillary WILL cost him his chance to lead.

If Obama wins he should pick Edwards for VP.
If Hilary wins the nomination she'll need Obama as her VP to win the general election, but I doubt he'll settle for that.

IS OBAMA strong enough to take on the role of guard/ attack dog?

Face it, McCain does not dictate to the right wing radio hosts and they are not going to play patty- cake with Dem ticket no matter who is at the top. The DEM VP candidate can't be afraid or unprepared to diffuse or counter attack them with specifics, not populist messages.

Of course, you can always rely on the Obama core supporters to cry foul every time he is attacked. Like that will help in any way.

After many negative & dirty attacks, if Obama joints Clintons, he is stupid. He already done a stupid thing – the NAFTA . He lost because the NAFTA thing; he must fire that stupid professor.
He won't stand and have any chance with the Clintons co-president (Bill). There are more states to go, he must change his campaign strategy strongly attack Clintons and improve his debate style. Let American know his plan for the country and American clearly.

I will vote for McCain if Hillary wins.

BS! No Dream Ticket and no Clinton Ticket… I'd rather vote McCain if Obama isn't the candidate. Fortunately, Obama still has an insurmountable lead in delegates. Now watch Hillary "win at all costs" Clinton blow up the Democratic Party to satisfy her personal ambition. That'd turn off just enough left-leaning independents, like me, to make sure the Repugs win in the year they couldn't…

I would vote Republican if Hillary became the Democratic nominee. After years of Bushes and Clintons in the White House, it's time for a change – if not Obama, then certainly McCain. It's obvious that neither of the Bushes, nor Bill Clinton, have bolstered the economy or this nation in the long run.

I will only vote for that ticket if Hillary is the Presidential candidate.
If it happens and Obama is top slot I am voting Republican.
Obama thinks Hillary is negative, he is in for a big surprise when
it comes to the real world. What will he do when the President
of another country refers to him negatively? Hillary speaks the truth.
The media has had no problem trying to make her look bad,
I am sure Obama has some skeletons in his closet that will
eventually come out. I am a proud Ohioan and I am glad
that we made our point loud and clear. It isn't over yet guys!
Great job Hillary!

Obama supporters in Texas are sore losers!

Late last night, the Hillary signs disspeared from my front yard and Obama stickers were placed on our car.

I wonder if they know this is Texas and we could have shot them?

The win 11 contests in a row, loose a couple and they can't take it?

Thanks from the HILL country!

Now THIS is a fairy tale!! She has two wins and thinks that she is in the position to put Obama as VP? I'd rather vote for Nader than her. She is not about uniting, but dividing. Haven't we had enough of that? She belittles Obama's supporters for having hope, but her followers follow her blindly, believing every lie that comes out of her mouth. That's why the educated vote follows Obama.

Hillary is so pityful! She wins 3 states after losing 12 (Vemont) and now she thinks she's def. the nominee because Ohio has spoken! The other 12 states that voted for Obama don't count? He is still ahead in delegates because the Ohio and Texas margins were narrow for her. Her own advisors stated on CNN last month that she must win both states with large margins of 60% or more. She didn't.

the only people backing obama are the young ignorant people who are easily influenced by everything oprah endorses,first she ruined books for us now she is choosing our president?Really people your honestly going to elect a man you never heard of before oprah stamped her seal of approval on him,someone with absolutely no experience,at a time when what our country needs most of all is someone to lead us out of this mess we created for ourselves by re-electing bush four years agao,come on people can't we get it right for once,the clintons, despite what everyone says about them left our country in good shape when they left office eight years ago,I strongly believe she can get the job done without obama!

Hillary – release your tax returns.

Great idea!

That is a great idea. Obama can gain experience. It would be more logical for Hillary to be the president. I just don't know if Obama would be willing to put his pride aside. I don't know if the Obama supporters would be able to put their pride aside to let this happen.

Hillary – President
Obama – Vice President

Ohio has screwed the country in the last two major elections. Why do they keep continuing that trend? Now this race goes on. Clinton needs Obama if she is the nominee. She is too divisive. Independents, I think, will be more likely to vote for McCain. Obama does not need and probably does not want Hillary to be his running mate if he is the nominee.

A ticket without a Clinton would be my dream ticket. I hope voters in the Democratic party grow a brain really fast and start sifting through the huge load of BS coming out of the Clinton campaign. Her "experience" is really quite mediocre, at best. Remember the yes votes for the Iraq war and Nafta?

Come on people, wake up!

WHY IS THE MEDIA AND NEWS PAPER GIVEN SEN. CLINTON A FREE RIDE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE NOT PRESSUED SEN. CLINTON TO DISPLAY HER TAX FORMS AND WHITE HOUSE DOCUMENTS, TELL ME WHAT, WHAT SHE IS HIDING. SUPRISE, SUPRISE, SUPRISE?

It may be good for the party and I'm sure Hillary was trying to show that she would be a team player. However, has anyone considered that she may not be excited about him on the ticket with this Rezko deal going on? I swear, his relationship with that Syrian Swine IS going to catch up with him when that trial really gets rolling. Then all you folks that think Hillary is corrupt will see what corrupt REALLY looks like!

Let's be real – no way Bill Clinton is taking a back-seat to anyone. He will be her Dick Cheney, whether he's on the ticket or not. No one in their right mind would want to be her VP. And if she's on the bottom of the ticket, it's still a threesome. Does anyone really envision Bill not trying to dictate to the president if his wife is the VP? I loved Bill Clinton, but the presidency is not a monarchy, and it's time for some fresh faces and fresh ideas. And after the negative campaign Hillary has run against Obama, borrowing tactics straight out of Karl Rove's handbook, she will never get my vote. What's next, a Willie Horton ad? Any ticket with a Clinton on it is a guarantee of more of the same: divisiveness, politics of destruction, lying and gridlock. Wait, we just had 8 years of that with Bush.

Starbuck, I LIKE your thinking. Obama/Hagel is what I'd call a dream ticket.

NO,,,,HILLARY DOES NOT NEED OBAMA

OBAMA,,WHO WENT TO HILLARY FOR ADVICE UPON BECOMING SENATOR AND NOW IN EVERY SPEECH OF HIS ,HE IS NEGATIVE TO HER ,,AND HE DRAGS BILL IN IT EVERYTIME ,,HILLARY DOES NOT DRAG ,,,MICHELLE,S STUPID REMARKS,

OBAMA,,130 PRESENT VOTES,,FALSE NAFTA CLAIMS,,RENZKO

WHY HILLARY WANTS TO ASK FOR TROUBLE BY HAVING OBAMA HIPPI LIBERAL ON THE SAME TICKET

No way in hell! Obama wons all the southern states and Hillary can won all the big states. However, a lot of independent votes, blacks, and young people will ONLY vote for Obama. Hillary is only helping McCain at this point.

I would support a join ticket with Clinton at the top, which would give Obama the experience he needs. It's also what would completely unite the party, since core Democrats (I'm not talking Independents) are still basically split between Clinton and Obama. But people – PLEASE – stop it already with saying HIllary's campaign has played dirty tricks. Remember, it was Obama who initially started the smear tactics with his flyer about her stance on NAFTA – remember her surprise and anger about it and her "shame on you, Barrack!" comment? She hadn't done anything negative before that and had to respond to that attack, but her response didn't slander Obama. The "red phone" add didn't slander or sling mud at Obama at all – it just made people consider a very important question as to who they would really want to be President. How is that fear mongering or an attack?? It was an important question! Obama got himself into a mess by lying that a meeting with the Canadians never occurred (when it did) and by getting involved with Resko (what sane person would purchase a plot of land from someone who was being investigated? Plus, where did the campaign contributions come from?) Come one, people! If all of this were the other way around, not one of you Obama supporters (or the Media, for that matter) would have a problem with it, and you'd defend and justify him at every turn. Hillary defends herself, and you all claim they're attack adds against Barrack. Remember, he has NEVER been vetted by the press yet. There are things that we don't yet know about him, and they're definitely going to come out at some point and may end up hurting him. If you think Hillary's adds are attacks, wait until you see what the Republicans will do! Remember how they Swift -oated Kerry? Hillary is used to their evil (and sometimes illegal) games and knows how to respond – Obama, unfortunately, doesn't even know what's in store for him.

Let's admit it. the Hillary is the nasty fighter who will do what it takes to win. Obama is the charming and articulate guy who is almost impossible to dislike. Together they would be unstoppable. I am willing to put aside my distaste for Hillary as long as Obama gets on this ticket in some capacity. No matter what happens in 08 he will be president one day. Period.

"Some of the Illinois senator’s campaign surrogates have said they believe the claims (of a joint ticket) benefit Clinton because they may convince Democratic voters drawn to the Illinois senator that a vote for her is essentially a vote for both of them".
YES Hillary's intent is to get people to vote for her–believing it means both–BUT this is divisive and NOT true.
When making volunteer calls for Obama's campaign people have said it did not matter who they vote for as it would be a "joint ticket".
She needs to be confronted on this FALSE claim of a joint ticket as it is a lie to benefit ONLY her.
She also promised to submit her tax returns but has not. Her's are linked to Bill's with money making schemes partnering him and some unsavory people. He says he will sever relations with these connections IF she is the nominee. Do we want people in the most important office who's ethics and values are such that "it is ok to make money any way they can–UNLESS they are in the public eye"? NO!

. . .This sounds like a child trying to swindle another child out of his candy.
Who needs her. After Senator Obama wins the rest of his delegates, I think that Senator Sam Nun or Ted Kennedy would make a great vp running mate.

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!
OBAMA/NUN
OBAMA/KENNEDY

I hope Hillary does not pick Obama as her vp.He would only drag her down.She is a hard worker and will expect all her employees to do the same.Obama comes across as sort of lazy and would not fit in with the new Clinton team.

Hillary Clinton's intimating the idea of a joint ticket is a peripheral strategy at best (luring voters into the notion that a vote for her is a vote for both). Whether or not her campaign knows it, Hillary has long moved on to "plan B."
If she's proven anything during this campaign, it's her pragmatism and her smarts– meaning she is calculating and she can count. She has a firm grasp on the inevitability of the popular delegate count, which will dictate the super delegate count. And she is not under-estimating the impact her continued negative barrage will have on her own party. Indeed, that is the centerpiece of Plan B.
Hillary clearly has her sights on the 2012 general election, in which she can only be a player if John McCain, not Barak Obama, is President.
And so long as the media showcases her false veil of hope in this election, her intentions will seem to many, honorable.

It may be true that Hillary wants Obama, she sees potential in this 'kid' . He represents all she has fought for most of her adult life. Few remarkable people like Hillary are the ones behind the possibility of Obama. That is something people forget to remember or simply dont want to acknowledge. She has fought for civil rights, human and women rights for so long and that has had tremendous impact in the life of so many minority politicians. Her efforts in the African American community have been enormous and what he has done pales in comparison. So maybe she needs him a bit for a more cohesive Democratic party, but maybe she wants him a bit more than needing him, becuase she genuinely thinks that his candidacy is a reflection of his legacy. All this said. SHe is the one with the experience, the leadership, the stamina, the fortitute, and the knowledge to be the commander in chief. He is simply not ready.
I think Richardson would be an excellent running mate and would likely consolidate the party just as much.
Hopefully we can move on to get the situation clearer in the months to come and Hillary establishes herself as the leading Democratic Nominee for the democratic party. This is what should happen.

Hillary the witch is awful! She will never catch up to Obama in the delegates and doesn't have enough self-respect to bow out now.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY '08!!

I think i just threw up a little in my mouth…

A Must say…..

Obama is on his soap box chanting about his number of delegates. If we counted Michigan and Florida, who would have the most delegates???? Obama CHOSE not to include his name on the ballot, to impress the Democratic party, so STOP crying about the lost chance in those states OBAMA, and look at the BIG picture…..

Enough of the party festive mode, it's time to get down to the business of putting a Democrat in the White House. That business requires actions, enough of just inspirational words. It's time to grow-up !
……..Go Hillary ! ……..Yes, She Will !

NO to a joint ticket. OMABA would have won last night except for
Hillary dumping on him and lying and blowing his character
out of the water. She is not a good person. OBAMA must win
the presidency,

I feel Starbuck above. SCREW the dream ticket.

Hillary lies conives and cheats to win. We want no one
but OBAMA. Now that would change the politics in
Washington, nothing less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can anyone be so prejudice in one day … deciding who is going to what for 8 years and even further???

Anyway, it seems that the battle has just begun!

Just stay the course Girl!!! Stamina is all you need…

Hillary should bide her time because more about Obama is bound to come to the surface and it will be negative because all the positives have already been wrung dry. Obama can keep flashing that smile of his, but at the end of the day, it's Hillary.

Just what this country need! The blind leading the deaf and dumb!!!

THE PEOPLE SPOKE LAST NIGHT! BORACKS RUN IS OVER!!!

IT IS HIS OWN FAULT!

HE DECIDED TO LIE ABOUT CANADA AND NAFTA!

HE WILL BE HAVING MORE PROBLEMS FROM THE REZKO TRIAL!

THAT COMBINED WITH SENATOR CLINTON WINNING ALL THE BIG STATES NEEDED TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY, HE IS DONE!

I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER KNOWING IT WILL BE HILLARY! I TRUST HER!!!!!!!!!!

How long now until we have the "Can Bill Clinton be VP?" debate again?

If Obama wins the nomination, I WILL DEFINITELY give my vote to Ralph Nader!!!!!!!!!

No president has ever won without Ohio. Now imagine if you also lose Florida. And then Pennsylvania. And then if you didnt even win Texas, California or New York. Or New Jersey. These are the states that determine elections. I'm sorry but Wyoming and Montana will not get it done for the democrats.

Dream Ticket? What about Obama / Colin Powell

I think that would be the ideal ticket Hillary/ Obama now that would be a change for sure in the white house hopefully they would try and unite this country again. We all need some kind of change at least give it a try for 4 years…..We have had 8 years of nothing not working…..

As much as I can not stand Queen Hill Bill, I guess that is where this thing is headed. I only hope that barrack is on top. I really do not care who is the POTUS or VPOTUS, I just want my party to come together and win this freaking thing. I will revolt if the GOP wins this year! I have read many blogs through out the year, and people on both sides claim that they will vote for McCain if one or the other get the nod. This is beyond me as to your thinking. Why would you cut your nose off of your face to spite someone? If you people who say this and really do this, then we are IN REAL TROUBLE. The whole point of this season is for the country to decide who their candiate is. I have come to understand that if the QUEEN gets it, then I have to vote for her because I hate GOP more than I hate HER. Please re-think about your decision to vote for the bad guys just to spite someone, not wise decision making skills people!!!!!!!

Everyone get over it. Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton. Who cares.
Just so we can get America back on the right track.

A Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket is the only way to go. Clinton always takes the Latino vote and traditional democratic bases, Obama is getting the youth vote and takes the African American vote. None of them have shown to be able to crack each others base consistently. This needs to be done by April 22. Obama will win Wyoming and Mississippi but than lose Pennsylvania and than we will be exactly where we are today except McCain will have had a 6-week headstart. Also what's so wrong with a dream ticket, especially if it will not only unify the Democratic party but possibly America.

Either way this is historic. The leader of the Free World will either be a woman or an african. The two together will be a dream team no matter who is on top of the ticket. I think they can work together and really benefit from eachothers stregnths and experience. They will move us in the direction we need to go. As Democrats our main focus is making sure that we ask our canidates to move into that direction after the next primary. We need solidarity and unity in the party and more importantly to go out, and vote. We can not simply just not vote because our particular favorite didnt get the ticket, this is what the Republicans bank on. If you are satisified having the country going in the direction it currently is then opting not to vote or voting for McCain is what you will have to do. If you want to see and be part of change support both canidates and incourage them to do what is right for the party and what will be right for the people. Lets get these Republicans out!

After seeing how underhanded Hillary can get, and has gotten while in her husbands administration (it's very public knowledge for anyone that wants to take an honest look), how anyone in good conscious, anyone that truly wants *CHANGE* in Washington, could vote for her is beyond my comprehension. She is the EPITOME of Washington.

While her snakey underhanded dealings might make her the equivalent of a Cheney – she should NEVER be given an opportunity to run this country – the world would never forgive us in the long run. And she would destroy any chances of Obama ever being given a chance to be President.

I think the hint of Hillary entertaining the idea of an Obama as a running mate is a bit pre-mature. Yes she's just off the heals of a couple of major victories, but I say let's get the nomination first. Personally I think this a political ploy by Hillary! She needs Obama more so than Obama needs her. Besides who's ahead now, anyway?

Actions speak louder than words.
Obama, I changed my vote to Hillary. You need more moe experience.

Dream ticket is right. As in, keep on dreaming Hilly Billy. Obama has won in all the major centre's. In the counties around Cincinatti (61%) Columbus (56%) and Cleveland (53%) as well as around Austin (63%) Dallas (62%) and Houston (56%).
Obama is about 100 ahead, and it looks like the best chance to turn the tide (Ohio and Texas) failed. Barring the press getting some "real dirt" on Obama, he stands a good chance to win.
The main issue becomes Iraq. 60% of America's fuel is from the middle East. That and almost 4000 body bags say: We ain't leaving. It may not have been a clever decision to start, but we can't leave untill it is 'stable'. Sorry. And that is something both Obama and Obama Mama have to get used to.

I am an African-American woman who is a Hillary Clinton supporter but I also like Obama. A Clinton/Obama ticket is music to my ears! I think this will be a SURE WIN in November. We have to do what is right for the Democratic party.

GLAD TO SEE PEOPLE FOCUSING ON ITHE ISSUES IN SPITE OF ALL THE MEDIA HOOP-LAH YOU GO GIRL!

I must start off saying that I am really disappointed in the citizens of the United States. We have complained every year about the candidates criticizing each other to get ahead and yet they voted for Hillary Clinton who did that very thing to Obama. I admire him for not stooping to her level. If she is the Democratic nominee I will be forced to vote Republican and if she and Obama run together I also will have to vote Republican. I think that if Huckabee runs with McCain than McCain will have a better chance of winning the Presidency. I really don't think that Hillary Clinton has what America needs to run our country. And as far as her pulling up dirt on Obama it doesn't make me like him any less but definitely her a lot less.

a joint tickets possible is the only way to the white house, but it's unlikely. For me, I refuse to vote if Obama is not head of the ticket.

March 5th, 2008 10:16 am ET

wisdom comes with age,
obamanite children,
listen to your elders,
if you ever listened to them, now is the time to listen closely?
a shared ticket Clinton/obama = probable 16 years of dem.service,
remember, judges, it's time for the age of wisdom.

We have been listening to our elders for years, why do you think we are in the mess we are in now. I am done listening to old people who think they are better than young people.

MODERATORS: Why does it seem like ALL my comments have been "Awaiting Moderation" in perpetuity!? Is it because I sign them "Haighter"? You ARE aware that those of us living in The Haight neighborhood in San Francisco call ourselves Haighters, right? Anyhow, I hope you're not thinking I am a Hater instead of a Haighter.

Obama's tactics are questionable, they just don't get the media scrutiny that Hillary 's do. His mailings, his accusations of her being divisive and a member of the "establishment", like she is a bushie or something like that. Like his supporters Kenedy and Kerry are not part of that same "establishment" . Hillary has always worked for every day americans and will continue do so. She is the role model for truly caring about people. He and his campaign are to quick too dismiss the very very good tihngs that her husband and her have done for this country and our people. I don't like Obama one bit since he has decided to get ahead of his headlights.

So now they say she is claiming the possibility of a dream ticket to help herslef? Sounds to me that he could make the same claim and would help himself as well. He is too proud of himself to do that, too "good" for her ? too much of an egomaniac then I would say. Him and his supporters think that he is some sort of a demi-god and how dare could they could get mixed with the rest of us!. His wife thinks that people can even deify him!!!!

I would rather not see Obama as VP candidate with Hillary, but if it helps the country, so be it.

I think this is where it's going to head because this makes more sense then most people think….

Barack could unite the peope (so he should be president) and Hiliary could move Congress as VP (Senate Leader) and she could focus on the one true thing she believes in – and that is healthcare.

And in both case it would be the first black and femal as President/Vice President.

No way would I vote for Hillary now. If Hillary is anywhere on the democratic ticket, not only will I vote for McCain, I will campaign for him!

I have been touting this so-called "dream ticket" for a long time, and will continue to do so. Ideally, I would like to see Clinton/Obama for 8 years, and then Obama/? for the next 8. 16 virtually guaranteed years of policy changes and getting this country back on track…nothing to sneeze at.

So Clinton makes you sick, huh? Have you EVER followed politics at all??? Her "attacks" are EXTREMELY tame (and purposefully so) compared to what the Conservatives will do with EITHER of them. People that post that they want change (aka Obama or nothing) then say that they will vote McCain, or not at all…please explain how either of these moves would support your ideal of change? THIS type of thinking is what makes ME sick. I GUARANTEE you that I will support any of the scenarios (Clinton/Obama, Obama/Clinton, Clinton/?, Obama/?) that would keep the Conservatives out of their throne room.

I also do not think that an extended campaign is a bad thing for either candidate or the Democratic party. I would like to see both candidates start taking more shots at McCain throughout the remainder of their respective races though. In the meantime, this totally pushes McCain back to the shadows, while the Democratic candidates get the opportunity to soak up the press and present their arguments to the country. Give the system time to work, and relax people. I've never seen so many so willing to circumvent the very system that they supposedly support due to some sort of campaign trail jitters. Both candidates will come through this tougher, better prepared, and on top of their games…neither will get bloodied enough by the other to lose to the absolute status quo in the general election (unless of course people of our party really do decide to "pick up their toys and go home" – pathetic and asinine imho).

Pull it together folks. Get your popcorn ready, get people involved, STAY involved, and have some fun…let's enjoy being a part of history.

DEMOCRATS '08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how these older people tell us younger voters to listen to you…you know better? Really? 8 years of Bush is knowing better? Uh, let me help you out, it's not. Young people are well informed, don't discount us b/c of our age.

I voted for you in the Ohio primary, Hillary; however, if you win the nomination and select Obama to run with you, I will vote for John McCain (I will not just 'not vote'). I have a feeling, though, that it might not matter who we elect. Each one of them will probably end up screwing us over. : (

Hillary claims 35 years of experience…She's in her 60s…where does the experience come from…being a lawyer? No…maybe being the president's wife…no or maybe its being senator for a few more years than Obama.

Its truly amazing how a state (OHIO) so devastated by the NAFTA agreement votes for Clinton whose husband actually signed their death warrants for jobs going overseas. Political Spin and negative campaigning will do it I guess.

Obama…continue your positive campaign and don't stoop to the tactics of the Clinton machine. But, if you do mention Bill and Hilliary's connection with the Peter Paul scandall over mismanagement of contributions well over $2 million dollars. They wrote letters to the man then denied ever receiving any.

I will not vote for the Clintons if they are nominated!!!!!!!!!

As a Democrat I'd rather vote for McCain.

I do not want a joint ticket unless Obama is the President.
He is an honest and good man and He should have won
last night.

Obama/Edwards

Obama/Gore and John Edwards, Attorney General

You know I read folks on here prattling on -Obama fans, Indeps. and Reps.) and the like- and they are all so hloier than thou about Clinton's campaign tactics.

It has eerked me that When HRC brought up RezkoSlumlord @ a debate it was in response to Obama's cheap shot about being a Coroporate Attorney for Walmart. No one seems to remember that.

No one seems to remember that Obama released the Flier debunking her health plan first.

Obama was untouchable in the media there for a while. Maybe it was because everyone really liked him or maybe it was because everyone was afraid to say anything for fear or a racism charge.

Somehow, she had to knock through that unsurmontable barrier. And she did. So call it what you will, "kitchen sink" "dirty Politcs" or what I prefer -a gutsy campaign with all the right timing.

AND YOU THINK SHE CAN'T PULL IT OFF AGAINST MCCAIN?

Here's to Clinton, our next president.

"As an Obama supporter, if they are on the same ticket, I'd vote for McCain."

Yes, once again, we see the complete and utter IDIOCY of Obama's supporters. Then again, it's pretty redundant: anyone who would support this moron with no experience is already proved to be an idiot.

All of you need to start looking at the big picture… If I were in a tight race like this and knowing that McCain was about to win the nomination… Before I would throw in the hat I would make sure that Obama is equipped to handle the pressure… Clinton did all of us a great service because you are fools to think that McCain was not going to hit Obama hard with all of these questions…

Obama is running a campaign that will not let him respond… Look at the outcome… it is obvious that he made a mistake because he does not have the experience and knowledge of how this system works… McCain is going to throw the "whole house" at whoever wins the democratic nomination because this is his last chance to be president!!!

All of you need to realize that Obama has a big problem lingering in Chicago… Rezko's corruption trial is going to go on for several months… If Obama is brought up in court he will have to be called in to testify… Is he going to say sorry McCain I can not debate you right now because I have to go testify in court regarding my past dealings with a corrupt businessman out of Chicago… He may be innnocent of any wrong doing but the damage will have been done… From all of the news stories you can just imagine what the Republican bias media will do… Some people will be able to see through all the smoke and mirrors… There is a majority that base their decision on what they hear from CNN, NBC, MSNBC, Etc…

I think it would be beneficial for both of them to run together and for Obama to be VP so he can get past Rezko and get a little more experience… If they do a great job the next 16 years could be dominated by the democrats!!!

Experence where did she get it from being the first lady, from approving the plan that took millions of jobs out of the country, or from trying to get a medical plan together that has taken over 20 years and not being able to do it ???????

"ABC March 5th, 2008 10:27 am ET

If Barack does not win the Democrtic Primary he should run for Governor of Illinois.

Hillary "the ready on day one Commander-in-Chief" will lose to John McCain, the real-deal no phony endorsements required in November and no amount of spin will change that!"

ABC – McCain is getting an endorsement from a phony today.

They don't want to print my earlier post because it points out not only the Clinton dirty politics, the DOZENS of Clinton scandals, but the poor job journalists are doing in covering this race (and the latest Clinton scandals – Naftagate, Paul trial in California, Major donors in jail).

Obama has more pledged delegates, more popular vote and more states. Yet the media perpetuates Hillary's sham 'comeback.' Managing to hold on to a little bit of the major lead you had two weeks before the primaries is not a comeback! Now she hints at being VP because it is the only way left to claw herself on to a ticket.

NO CLINTON, NEVER!!

You are right, Ellis.

more STATES, more VOTES, and more DELEGATES .

That's it!

Obama '08

I would say this county is very divided look at the numbers. Hillary, has won the most popular states, which tend to vote democratic. Obama, has one more red smaller states. We need to look at the general election electoral college. She would win today the general election because of electoral college. I like both, but think of the 8 years Hillary and the then 8 years Obama, he would be very hard to beat if they turn the country around.

kd
Texas

Hillary, Obama doesn't need you. But you sure as hell need him. I think Bill was a little confused about which candidate was living in the fairytale. The slipper does not fit and there is no invitation to the ball, Mrs. SlickWilly. Wait until the tax info comes out what will the defense be for that. How much time will you have to spend dealing with that issue?

I say Obama/Sibelius in '08. There is a viable woman democrat and it isn't you. Do the party a big favor…say goodnight.

I KNOW THAT SENATOR CLINTON KNOWS WHAT IS BEST!

THAT WAS PROVEN LAST NIGHT!

BUT I WOULD HATE TO SEE HER JOIN FORCES WITH SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN HORRIBLE TO HER!

I ALSO THINK THAT HIS REPUTATION IS RUINED!

HILLARY IS WAY TOO GOOD TO TEAM UP WITH SOMEONE OF HIS CHARACTER AND EXPERIENCE!

I WILL AGREE WITH WHAT EVER SHE DOES! BUT I SURE WOULDN'T PICK HIM!

I WOULD PICK JOHN EDWARDS!

I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!!!

I HAVE BEEN WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!

YOU WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!

MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA ARE WITH YOU!!!!!!

You know, hate her or love her, you have to admire her strength and tenacity. My republican girlfriends has reluctantly admitted that they respect her. Even Karl Rove today reluctantly said he had to give her some credit.
I wish the Obama supporters would at least admit that they have to respect her as a strong fighting leader. You dont have to like her, but admit that she is a tough strong candidate.

Hillary's win in Texas and Ohio won't overcome Obama. If she's the nominee it will be a back room deal and the Democrats will be doomed.

Obama has way too much of an ego to pick Clinton as his VP. If he is the Democratic nominee, my vote is with McCain.

T

I never did understand Obamas attacks on Clinton over NAFTA, when in reality his position was a copy of her position.
How do you get to attack someone for having the same opinions and ideas on NAFTA, and who will take the same actions on NAFTA AS YOURSELF.
For me, that is why I will not vote for Obama- unless it IS a joint ticket. If Hillary is NOT on the ticket, people like myself will just write her name in. Obama alone loses my vote- because he got here due to media favoritism and unfair sabotage of Hillary.

HIllary Voted for the Iraq war. What great experience….

I bought into Obama's change in the dysfunctional government system and take a high road in running our government.

The Clintons represents the exact worn out parts we need to change and get rid of. Just watch their dirty tactics in the past weeks reenforces my belief.

The Clintons are just too divisive and too much into their own personal agenda!

I want the best person with high principles to lead our country to a better place. This is too a too important issue to limite myself into the mere party victory.

I will support Obama, without the Clintons, all the way!

It is not Obama fault Hillary is oldish, why should he wait? In 8 years when Hillary turns 92 she can be president.

Perfect dream ticket!

Not a dream ticket, a horrible horrible compromise ticket.

Obama gains nothing. Obama/Clinton would go against everything he has ever said or done.

It's Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket with Obama back as the Senator of Illinois or my vote goes to McCain.

Obama should not lead the ticket. Why should the super delegates vote for Obama in states where he won and not vote for who they believe is the best candidate especially when he only won those states because Independents and Republicans voted for him only to keep Hillary out. First a democratic primary should be just that, a democratic primary where only registered democrats should be allowed to vote, just like in Pennsylvania. Second those independents and republicans are not going to vote for him in the general election, those states are Republican states and will vote Republican in the general election and no amount of pretty words are going to change that fact.
If Florida or Michigan votes don’t count for the democratic convention then they should not count for the general election, both states should boycott the general election. Remember Florida was the deciding factor in 2000 when we got Bush.
I keep reading Obama supporters say that Hillary will do or say anything to get elected how ridiculous can they be as if Obama hasn’t said or done things to try to get elected, what’s worst is that Obama says one thing to the voters and then in a close door meeting with Canadian officials says something else. It’s a politicians’ job to do and say things to get elected, being president is what they are working for, but what Obama did is low and proves that he is no change agent, he’s just a same old politician promising the world just to get elected to then turn his back on the voters like he did in New Orleans.

Of course I would love to see Obama on top of that ticket, but how in the world could she make that happen, given how negative she's been against him lately??

To Dre, if that's what you want, let's take all the red states out, like CO, KS, AL, UT, GA, oh, do I forget South Carolina?

Funny how Hillary is still behind, and she is arrogant enough to suggest Obama be VP??!!!

No Hillary.
NoBama.

McCain '08!!

HRC on any democratic ticket drives a significant block of Obama supporters to McCain because they are anti-Hillary voters looking for a better solution that John McCain. With Hillary on the ticket the Dems will lose house and senate seats as well as the big house.

Im a bit shocked!! That so many people want the Bill and Hillary scandals back to the white House!!! Barack lost in Texas because many poor hispanics voted for the CLINTON name. They fell more comfortable. More educated people vote for Barack. Im sorry I do not want Bill clinton runnig around the white house again. Hillary represents the old status quo and the past of scandals. Barack is still agead in Delagates, more states won.

hillary has lost the texas caucus in a texas size way…

how is the news biased now, in letting her delay the results for a news cycle or two to gloat despite the fact that she will have lost ground….after the caucus results are released…

She is destroying a four-decades old system in Texas that has worked fine the entire time, even when bill was running…..only now, she has lost, so she is crying and whining…….

We want ALL the results now…not just results favorable to hillary, unless big media has an ulterior motive to try to extend this for their own sake and for more "eyeballs"……

HILLARY STOP YOU ARE DESTROYING YOUR OWN PARTY FOR YOUR OWN GREED AND SELFISH REASONS!!!!

IF HILLARY WON'T LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE NOW, WHY IN H&*(^ DOES ANYBODY THINK SHE WILL RESPECT ANY LAWS OF THIS COUNTRY LATER???? (HINT:THINK BUSH)

Amazing!

Hillary has soooooooo much baggage and soooooo many skeletons in her closets, how can you Hillary people even get behind her? Does no one remember the Clinton scandals? That Hillary was put under criminal investigation?

And she refuses to release her tax records. If Obama did that she would have screamed it that he was hiding something!

She is so negative and is only getting away with it because Obama won't lower himself to her level. She wants it both way! She won't get the respect that Obama has shown her from McCain! The Republicans will eat her up!

Maybe some of you Hillary supporter should check out her history. She is not the RIGHT woman to be president!

With all these skeletons hiding in her closet and the media keeping mum, I NEVER want to hear her whine how the media is so hard on her!

It is time to stop bahing the woman and listen to her. She is not just playing to a certain race or to the wealthy suburbs; she is talking to all of us who have been shortchanged and hurt by the reigns of Bush 1 and Bush 2. I am tired of listening to the same speeches by Obama, and did you notice how he can not look straight into the camera. Reminds me a bit of another person!!!! Nixon ring a bell.

Wow and Sean Hannity likes to say America is no longer racist. He needs to read some of these comments about not needing the black vote. Her husband needed the black vote and got it twice and when some blacks support Obama we are wrong and turning our backs on the Clintons, yet her supporters want her to turn her back on the black vote. I am not surprised at least yall are honest.

I am in Hillary's demographic and I started out in this campaign firmly commited to vote for either democratic candidate. Well, I am here to tell you that there is NO WAY I'd vote for Hillary now! I am so disgusted with the Clinton's bitter, angry, fearmongering tactics (sounds like the Bush administration doesn't it?) and their persistant attempts to take this campaign into the gutter and discredit Obama. Hillary has ALREADY lost it for the Democrats (if she wins the party nomination) because she has managed to take an energized Democratic party and DIVIDE it. Her candidacy would strongly energize the Republican base — they are just dying for her to be the opponent! Independents will vote for McCain or stay home, and many Obama Dems will not vote for her now either because it already appears to many of us that she is trying to steal this candidacy. Shame on YOU Hillary!

I want an Obama/Clinton ticket or a Clinton/Obama ticket. I want it all:

Bill Richardson as Secretary of State
Biden as special emissary to Iraq
Edwards as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Robert Reich at Treasury
McCain as Secy of Defense (why not?)
Russ Feingold as Attorney General

America's problems are too acute to settle for a second tier cabinet that will merely keep the departments running and the files in good order. Lincoln chose his political rivals for his cabinet, and his administration got pretty good reviews.

First the win for Clinton was not that big and Obama has more real votes he should be number one if there is a so called dream ticket Ohio is not the only dtate in the union.

Here we go again, Hillary marginalizing Obama! "the people of Ohio clearely said it should be me"; translation, I'll only consider the dream ticket if I'm in control of it; in the mean time I'll make sure everyone realizes that Obama is at best a VP. I'd love to ask the question does anyone really fall for this; but I think we all know the answer to that one!

Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton MY GOODNESS

McCain won't stand a chance. Come on isn't it obvious, we want both Senators Clinton & Obama to be in the ticket, the reason I would go for Clinton/Obama is because of age and (like or not) experience, Senator Obama could carry one and add his own style to it eight years later.

It's obvious we want both Senators to be in the White House, it is the only way to keep this party together.

I don't think anyone who doesn't know whats going on should VOTE! To all of you who say it's because Hillary caused the whole Canadian NAFTA situation……..Shame on you! If you still refuse to accept the truth on anything, how can anyone pay attention to what you have to say? A nation united by a bunch of naive, (if I don't want it to be true-it isn't) type of voter, is exactly what went on with Bush!

I don't mind the idea of a 'Dream Ticket' and think it might actually be a good thing. We need to take America back from the corrupt Republicans who've given us a $10 trillion deficit, taken us from a $2 trillion budget in '02 to a $3 trillion budget in '08, given us a war, a recession, the dollar at an all time low and an economy that's in the toilet.

Wow- It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion! If the Democrats were really serious about winning back the White House they would have supported serious candidates.

If there would even be a possibility of a shared ticket between Obama and Clinton, the only winning option would of course be Obama/Clinton. .Clinton is so narcissistic to even entertain the thought of the people wanting her as their leader.he vote has shown just the opposite of that over the entire country. Her lead is narrow and way late to be considered. We are being duped by the Republicans again. Obama is the countries choice. Even the Republicans are aware that Clinton is obviously not the one with the power needed to win the election over McCain. The Republicans have shown they are afraid of the only real candidate, Obama. What happened yesterday was exactly what Limbaugh, Ingram suggested their 'crossover Republicans' do. They voted for Hilary Clinton in order to upset Obama's lead..
Wake up Democrats or this will be a repeat of 2000!

Darn it just makes me mad to see all you children spatting your anger "If I don't get what I want, then I'm not voting"! Fricken grow up America!! You all wonder why WE are so divided? Stop, look and listen to yourselves!
I'll take whatever ticket can get the WE (All AMERICANS, REGARDLESS OF PARTY!!!) back in our vocabulary.

Why is it that people who submitted after I did got on the Clinton News Network message board and I haven't yet? Are you guys at the Clinton News Network censoring the voice of the people? Or are you bought by the Clintons?

Matthew Erwich March 5th, 2008 11:12 am ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.

A dream ticket? Sure… Only in her dreams! Who wants to run with a person who is as polarizing as she is and always will be? That is why no work is getting done in Washington. The only thing they do is to fight. Nobody else cares about you enough to make the effort to bring a working majority together in Washington, so that they can get things done for us the people. I make close to 200.000 monthly. The outcome won't have any effect on me either way. In fact comes November, if Hillary ends up being the nominee through back door negotiating, I will vote for McCain so that I can continue getting my tax cut big time. I would think that less educated people would vote for Obama because he is the one who will make their lives better but unfortunately they gave in to fearful adds. That is just sad and silly too.

Only after Senator Obama wins the rest of his delegates, and then he
gets to decide. But don't vote for Hillary on that "promise." I don't trust her. Don't be fooled by the "a vote for Hillary is a vote for Barack" scam that will surely be her next plot. Then after she dupes
his voters into voting for her, picks someone else for vp. I would just
rather wait for CNN to launch their next campaign game of "bring the candidate with the most momentum" down. By then, there will be so many past Clinton white house scandals exposed, Barack can then count
on his higher delegate count to win.

YES WE CAN!!!!!

Senator Obama had no airtime last week when Hillary was crying and screaming Media Bias! I guess it worked! They propped her up on SNL, The Daily Show With John Stewart and anyone else who was Too Stupid to fall for her Crap Strategy! The Big 3 sided with her by rehashing all the negative trash she was throwing out at Senator Obama! The Media just wants to keep this thing going!

I hope followers of Obama and Clinton wake up and realize that neither Clinton or Obama are truly the "enemy". The "enemy" is the ideology of the Republican party that has torn this country up for the past eight year. The in-fighting might not be bad for the politicians, but it's horrible for the people. Just look at the comments here. If you are willing to vote for the other party or not at all because it's not your person is tragic. Both candidates are better than McCain. Wake up Democrats!

BTW, Obama is a manchurian candidate? That is just plain racist, a statement based soley on his name and skin color. NO FACTS to back it whatso ever.

Very interesting, the candidate that is running behind in, number of delegates won, number of states won, number of popular votes won, is talking about asking the leading candidate to be her running mate, and no one is challenging her logic – No one would ask her about tax returns, no one would her ask her about what she knew, when she knew it – about the Marc Rich Cash for Pardon Scandal, Names of donors to the Clinton Library Fund.

Only the Clintons can spin this successfully.

Stop following the press, those ads are not negative. The press termed them negative, Obama called them negative so now you all call them negative. So sad…people really are like sheep

Clinton/Obama would be a dream ticket. Together they would clean house. She has the plan, the details, the determination and can handle her business. Obama is charismatic. Dems, let's kiss and make up.

Clinton/Obama 2008/2012

Let's work out a deal – Hillary in White House for 4 years only then Obama takes over!

Hillary's ambitions are only destroying BARACK OBAMA'S ambitions–not the Democratic Party. She's laid the ground work for years!! Who's the ambitious if it's not OBAMA? How DARE that rookie act like he deserves to sit in that Oval Office. It's the height of arrogance in my book!! HIS ambitious hot-air campaign is what's destroying the party. He's pitted blacks against whites in a way we haven't seen in decades. How else can you explain the pressure on black Superdelegates to switch to him? That's disgusting. And, check out how he got the polls held open in Ohio! Shady dealings, and STILL couldn't win. He's done, and I'm smiling!!

Is she KIDDING? NO WAY Let her run on John McCain's ticket since she aligned herself with him. Sen. Obama will win and he will not choose her the establishment as his VP it goes against everything he believes in. His supporters would not vote for that ticket although we deeply back Sen. Obama. We do not reward behavior using Tricks, dishonesty and half truths and clearly making fun of one's religion including siding with a Republican against Sen. Obama. Totally unacceptable!

Let's ask Al Gore what it's like being a VP to a Clinton. Use and discard is what I seem to remember.

When all the states have voted Barack will have the most pledged delegates, most popular vote, and won the most number of states. And your telling me that he won't be the nominee?? They say she has won the big states that you need to win in the fall. Are you telling me that California is not gonna go to the democrats?? New York is not gonna go to the democrats?? Obama has the crossover appeal to win some red states. The only way for Clinton to win is to make backroom deals with the superdelegates, and if that happens it will tear the party apart. By the way, the only fusion ticket possibility is Clinton/Obama. It would be a mistake for Obama to choose her as VP, it will alienate to many independents, liberal republicans.

All the Obama supporters keep screaming for Senator Clinton's Tax Returns …. how about this, she'll release her Tax Returns when Obama releases all of his Rezko documents.

Secondly, Senator Clinton is winning all the BIG states that a Democrat needs to win in the General Election and this, my friends, carries more weight than the slight delegate lead Obama has as a result of winning the states that Dems. won't carry in the General … especially since, at this point, NEITHER of them can possibly reach the magic number to clinch the nomination.

As a majority of Clinton supporters, I will vote McCain in the General if Obama gets the nomination.

I don't think hillary will accept a VP, knowing how dirty and sleazy the Clintons are. Obama has won more votes and states. He should be the president.

The Clintons have no morals left! Clinton victories last night are a testimony to our fail education system in this country! Too many uneducated ill-informed voters! Ohio and Texas give us G.W and now Clinton WOW!

Obama and the American people don’t need the carry the baggage of the immoral Clintons.

It shameful when you have to avoid your husband (former president) on the most important day in your political career!

The media is not the king makers they thought they were!
Hahaha-hehe I loved watching their facese last night say Uh … oh it looks like Hillary is winning by big numbers!! Like we tryed to to tell everyone she is the one that can get the job done*******

May the gods bless whomever prevails!!! The next president will be faced with the most severe of problems: two wars, crashing economy, broken health care, broken education system, poverty, real estate crisis, environmental degradation and global warming, terrorism at home and abroad, and civil unrest. Hillary has been deceitful, opportunistic, and manipulative. John McCain is like the Vice Principal who brings out the paddle and says this is going to hurt me more than you. Senator Obama is the most dignified, reasoned, and intelligent choice in the group. Even though I wouldn't wish this job on my best friend, I believe Senator Obama has the best opportunity to dig us out of the ditch.

Bush…Clinton…Bush…Clinton…..

sorry, 28 years of two families running the country is something I could never vote for.

Down with Nepotism!

I also think that even if she finds a way to win the nomination through the supers that it would a very bad idea for Barack Obama to join her ticket. Look at what the Clintons did to their last VP. He is still trying to get the slime off him.

Id rather vote for McCain (the carbon copy of Bush) or Ralph Nader, than to have Hillary Clinton in the white house. I just dont trust or like Hillary Clinton. She is so deceptive its amazing the american people even takes the time to listen to her or take her seriously.

Obama Cannot win the general elaction without Hillary! I will NOT vote for Obama alone!

Hillary 08!!

First the Bush-style campaign based entirely on Fear. Now, the Bush-level arrogance.

The more I see of Sen. Clinton, the less I want her as my President.

I will only vote if Hillary is President, if not Mcain..

If Obama doesn't win i'm not voting

Obama is ahead in delegates ONLY because Michigan and Florida didn't count and his strongholds in Texas get to vote twice (caucus).
I like Obama, but can't help thinking this is not a fair way to do things, at all.
The votes of the people in two states are totally ignored, while more importance is given to the voters in certain areas of Texas?
So much for "one man, one vote"

After reading the first 30 or so of these comments, it scares the hell out of me that this is the way my constituents think. How about the issues? My goodness, aren't we finished yet with personalities and RACE. You all frighten me an whole lot more than ANY of the candidates.

I wish all of America a Great Election this year.

This is what Obama and co. says after Hillary's wins last night:

"Tonight was the Clinton campaign's last best chance to make a significant dent in our lead in pledged delegates, and they have failed."

He keeps promoting his pending and impending "victory" with unabashed arrogance and disdain for this opponent(s). And then he loses. He will also lose to John McCain, a person of character and integrity (never mind experience) — whether or not you agree with his political views.

Last night was Obama's last chance to complete his snow job on America. And he failed.

Hillary is the Democrat's best chance, and only chance. Obama should absolutely not be on the ticket.

If Sen. Obama accepts a joint ticket he will lose his credibility. He stands for integrity, change, judgement and not dirty politics à la Clinton. I truly hope he won't disappoint his supporters and the whole world who's watching carefully. It is time to show that the country who voted Bush twice can do much better. It is time to say NO to media manipulation, too.
Yes YOU can!

James and Obama has called her a liar, taken shots at her personally and said she is the status quo like Bush! It goes both ways my friend

And a side note to those who may say, who cares about the black vote…..

The democratic nominee will not win the election without a heavy black vote turn out. If you don't believe me, ask Al Gore and John Kerry!

everyone should not get a knot in their knickers
I am cheering on Obama but who knows whats going on behind the scenes.The longer this rivalry carries on the more it becomes a train wreck for the DNC and the party would be split
Not exactly what they want facing MCBush
something needs to give here and and both of them as a team is just what the doctor will order
her so called experience along with his likeability and cool head is a sure road to victory in the fall no matter who is pres or vp!
think of what they can do TOGETHER not divided
against MCBUSH and more war tearing the country down!

Its very unlikely you will see a dream ticket because it will be hard to ask someone to share the ticket who you just a day ago stated "their entire career added up to nonthing but a speech". She has said that words don't matter well I know she wish she could today take those words back.

I am really surprised about the lack of eduacted people in this post. People who say " I will not vote if obama is not on the ticket" This is exactly the reason why AL Gore isn't the current president. If the voters for Obama are going to call it quits, then that tells me what kind of voters are voting for Obama. The two candidates would be far better than another bush in the whitehouse so everyone put your EGO's aside for a few minutes and really understand that this is OUR COUNTRY and we need to be smart about voting in this coming election. I have no issues with obama, but he just does not have the experience. Clinton is a fighter and will stand up for our country and the republicans, People who talk about clintons dirty tactics are just plain uneducated, these are the people that tend to believe everything the media says. We need to vote smart not based off of our EGO'S.

I see that a lot of people do not like the idea that Hillary went "negative" in order to win. First, I don't believe she went negative. If you want to see negative, go back and look at ads in the 60's (nuclear explosions included), then remember Walter Mondale's "Where's the beef" (truly a legitimate argument to pose to Obama as well), then look at the Ted Kennedy vs Jimmy Carter primary–it was obvious that they hated each other.

Pointing out Obama's lack of experience in crisis management is completely legitimate. Also, lack of foreign policy experience, lack of domestic economic experience, lack of any experience that would qualify him as a commander in chief are all completely legitimate distinctions. We're not electing "best friend" here, we're electing the POTUS.

The woeful lack of all these experiences highlights the truth that Bill Clinton was right when he said that Obamas campaign is a fairy tale. He should never have entered the race when he only had 2 years of Senate experience.

Hillary was put into the position of running against a man that is the sweetheart of the cable news channels–a couple of them literally became the Obama channels 24/7. If she is going to be unfairly up against both Obama and 2 cable channels, then she's got to put an edge to her tactics–it's the only way to even remotely level the playing field.

WHAT ARROGANCE!

Also, as an Irish National I take strong issue with Senator Clinton claiming her participation in the Peace talks leading to peace in Northern Ireland – as she indicated in an interview shown on CNN this morning. I am FULLY au fait with all the talks – SHE PLAYED NO PART WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!!.Does anyone really think she would sit down with terrorists, given her response to the question on meeting with leaders not aligned with the US?

Further, when asked to indicate just one time she got "a 3am in the morning call requiring her to make a judgment" – she rabbitted on about Kosova, refugees in Africa, foreign Committee meetings, Northern Ireland!!!, and again her visits to 80 countries, etc, etc – she could not give a simple answer to a simple question?

Also, as a former wife of a very high-level Government official, I too accompanied my husband to somewhat '80′ countries, and can confirm – one is there to be seen and not heard. One follows a separate programme while your husband holds discussions with world leaders and high-Government officials. You are used for photo shoots and attend dinners. You cannot voice any personal opinion, show any emotion; just 'grin and bear it!

GET A LIFE SENATOR RODHAM – AND GET OFF YOUR HUSBAND's COAT-TAILS – and stand alone, and then be counted as I did!

If Obama is not on top of the ticket, I will not vote for Clinton. I'm not the only one that feel this way. I might even vote for McCain.

"Wisdom comes w/ age?" "Listen to your elders Obamnite children?"

You're not serious are you? The reason we're in this mess is because the Baby Boomers sold the country for their own greed and ambitions. It's time for the old gaurd to step a side and give the younger ones a chance to correct your mistakes.

Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island – thank you for raising your voices above the media. Hillary '08

TO Dick Pittenger:

YES. It is true if Hillary is not on ticket, John Mccain will have landslide victory.

As per RASMUSSEN report s,
IN NJ,

MCCain VS OBama ; Mccain wins by 3%
McCain vs. Clinton: Hillary wins by 11%.

I would support an Obama /Clinton ticket. I think that they can compliment each others perceived deficiencies. The individual with the most delegates should be at the top of the ticket. Hillary should also revisit her negative attack strategy for this to be plausible.

At this point in the game, I do think that they need each other. It will be too late if they continue into the convention to announce running mates and be competitive against the Republicans.

We saw Obama yesterday under fire from the press…8 questions…… and a minor melt down with the press asking him 8 questions?

That is not a leader! If he can't handle the press now, what will he do "if he became the President?

Do the right thing, VOTE HILLARY. If Obama gets the nomination, I'll turn to the "dark" side and vote for McCain. I am sad to say it, but Obama will DESTROY our country from the White House.

WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!

Would Obama want a VP 'Team'? Would Michelle Obama- with her excessive fears- want Hillary Clinton 'one heartbeat away' from the Presidency?

Would Obama want to be VP for 8 years, then have to fight as the 'status quo' candidate, defending the continuence?

Would both prefer to have an unencumbered shot in 4 years, since either alone stands a good chance of losing to the 'Maverick'? Making that determination would be putting personal ambition ahead of Party: The Clintons certainly have the history for it; Barack's capacitt for such is unknown.

I am disguested with the media and Clintons the way they go negative on Obama! Tony Rizkois a supporter for Obama and for Cllintons as well. Why is the media consenterating only on Obama? and What did Clinton do in Walmart to help poor community? Ofcourse the media job is to keep the Clintons happy and to cover their taxes and scandels! This discourage me from politics for ever!

It looks to me the media is a special interest for Clintons!

Being VP to Hillary would not be a popular position to anyone. I would not even want it!

She's not very likeable.

Clinton's highest winning margin is only 10 points. Obama's smallest margin is 17 points. Clinton one only won three in a row; Obama won 12 in a row. It looks like he does much better than she.

No way Jose! The Messiah's true nature is now being uncovered,it's clear that his ego is way too big to be on a ticket with a natural scene-stealer like Senator Clinton.If he's the nominee,he'll select a wax figurine of himself as the VP.Anyways, it's a foregone conclusion that he will get waxed by McCain.

clinton sure knows how to manipulate dems,you guys are so dumb,how can someone who is behind in delegate pick a vp.
what a joke.

The media is the biggest culprit in this event.The argument between HIllary and Obama has generated billions of dollars by adding: additonal talk shows,bringing on special guests, billions generated from different sponsors,sponsors who pay more because of the larger listening audiences is the cause of the conflict between Hillary and Obama.It was not in their finiacial interest for this to end.Hince the need to repeat undocumented facts ,untrue accusations and unproven communications.They knew this would result in a continue low financial gain because the uninformed would make the wrong decision.Let us refocus disappointment to the Hillary and the media.If she wins the nomination this is one democrat who will not be voting.

How can Senator Clinton make such a claim when she's run such a negative campaign against Senator Obama?

Obama's supporters need to stop. If you look at the data, in every single state practically that Clinton has won and lost, she won a large amount of voters who called themselves, democrats.

Obama usually wins because he gets a large chunch of independents and republicans.

In the Ohio and Texas primaries, she cut into is independent lead.

Also, Hillary states she has 35 years experience………well she is only 60 did she start as soon as she left college?

Obama campaign need to start examing what she says. And Americans need to start making her accountable for her statements.

Fav said thank God Hillary won. The truth is that God allowed this to happen. It's called "His permissive will". It works together to bring about His "perfect will". Even the devil is given his due. Be very careful what you ask God for. You just might "get it". Get it?!

============
"I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me."

Ummm… yeah and the people of the last 12 states very clearly said that it should be Obama. Way to discount them!
============

I'd be happy about either arrangement of a joint ticket, but her comment is legitimate. Ohio is one of the most prescient, bellwether states. No president since 1964 has been elected without winning Ohio.

Clinton cannot win elected delegates.

Clinton is funded by special interests (and possibly foreign interests… where are those tax returns?)

Yesterday was a vicotry for Obama the same way Super Tuesday was. The media misreported that as they are misreporting this.

Obama needs to stand up and announce this thing is over and he appreciates HRC's desire to be his VP but there are many capable candidates.

AND THE PARTY LEADERSHIP NEEDS TO LEAD. PELOSI SAID THE WINNER OF ELECTED DELEGATES MUST WIN. THAT IS NOW APPARENT. TIME TO GET THE DEMS IN LINE BEFORE WE SELF DESTRUCT.

Ah, the Clinton people make me giggle a little. Hilary can not win the nomination with out a deal with superdelegates, which if course she would make. That is her kind of poltics. I voted Obama in Virginia and will never vote a Clinton ticket…. if she plays her games my vote is going to be
McCain 2008

Mr. BO's wife has a mean face and attitude. She can not represent this country as First Lady. For that, Mr. BO got to go!

Obama-Mathematician '08

A Ticket I can believe in.

Clinton is still losing and it's almost impossible for her to win the pledged delegates over Obama.

@Fav Obama is as much as an American as you and I. I am so glad to see Hillary finally acknowledge her supporters I guess yall only matter to her when she wins. Barack always thanks us win, lose or draw. Wow Hillary wins Ohio and is back to feeling entitled to being President. I DONT think so!!!

YES WE CAN AND YES WE WILL!!!!!!!!!!

What is she dillusional. I congratulate the Clinton campaign for their wins last night but I think it is hardly a case for her being the top of the ticket when she can't win the most pledged delegates. She wants to let all the voters be heard, then let's do it but I think Axelrod made it pretty clear that if she continues with the character attacks that she can expect the same in return. Her negatives in the exit polls indicated that and she knows she can't win the general if she keeps that up.

Joint ticket ?

Obama can bring the troop home within 6 months and inspire his constituents to go to work everyday. If he can.

Clinton can provide universal health care and take the call at 3AM, which she can.

Clinton- Obama, thats how god wants it and hey at least he'll get the best exper, money can buy and maybe become president in 8 years so hell get 16 years of it I think he should

Clinton contemplating a joint ticket? Is this her way of acknowledging that she may not decisively win the nomination? Hmm…

I know for certain that neither candidate will play second fiddle on the Democratic ticket. Obama understands the history in the Clinton adminstration where Al Gore had a smaller staff and smaller offices than Hillary Clinton. He knows that for eight long years, Gore was silenced while Hillary offered her opinion on important domestic and foreign policy matters. Obama also understands that Bill will be the de facto Vice President and he will be rendered mum as well. He's not interested.

On the other hand, Clinton as a VP would want to run too much of the day-to-day operations without consulting Obama. I also believe that she will attempt to usurp and undermine his authority at a moment's notice. I wouldn't doubt if she would arrange some coup to overthrow Obama and takeover as president. Clinton would engage in face-to-face conflict with Michelle and the rest of his staff over policy decisions. It would be awful. Again, Obama is uninterested.

Obama would be best if he continues on his path to win the Democratic nomination. And when he does, he will then reveal that John Edwards will be his running mate. Now that's change I can believe in.

Bill will be HIllary's real VP so she can really only have a pawn in that role. That's not Obama. She is a great manipulator. If Hill wins the nomination, we'll have McCain for 4 years, then Obama can run again and win it all.

I could never envision Senator Obama allowing himself to be the VP for Senator Clinton, and that's only if she wins the nomination without it being stolen from Senator Obama by the DNC/Super Delegates.

Let's state the facts, Senator Obama has brought more folks out to vote in record numbers because we all see a "change" with him as the President. He is able to work with any gender, race and religion because he is a true uniter…not like our current President. I am a Republican at heart and always have been, but I can honestly say I have never seen an individual in Politics that can bring together so many folks like Senator Obama has. I've been around in the days of Senator Kennedy who was the last one to do this.

Senator Clinton is the same ole Washington politician and in my mind is jealous of Senator Obama and what he has accomplished so far. Do any of you honestly believe she would/could bring out the number of voters we're seeing today as Senator Obama has? I highly doubt it, because for the Clintons it's all about the power and the title. They both have BIG egos and this country is fed up with that…look at the arrogance of our current President and VP….need I say more.

What this country needs is a new vision and new reform in Washington for us, the working people. We do not need another Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, "possibly Clinton" presidency. This greate country needs Senator Obama as the next President.

I can NEVER vote for Hillary.If they make this a joint ticket,me and my family will vote for independent or Republican. I cant stand this liar as hillary.
CNN is biased in reporting to favor Hillary few these days before election.CNN needs to be objective in its reporting too.

Hillary is the better for person for even suggeting it. I personally do not want to vote for anyting that Obama name is on.

Why wouldn't Clinton continue to play more mind games with the American public? She apparently succeeded in convincing the mentally challenged to vote against Barack on Tuesday, why not let the games continue? I hope Barack finds a clever way to respond to this rhetoric about a dream ticket. Of course she wants him to respond negatively so she can accuse him of polarizing the Democratic party by saying he wouldn't choose her but he needs to say something and say it now!! His supporters as well as the delusional ones in her campaign need to know that she will not be a suitable running mate for him. If I were him I would say something like, "You know, I considered Senator Clinton as a possible running mate as my Vice President but these past few weeks have made it difficult to believe she would aid me in making the changes needed in today's politics. Whining about not being treated fairly and attacking my character as opposed to my policies certainly hasn't endeared her to the American public. My running mate will be someone who values the Democratic party and the ideals we hold to and someone who believes that change is only possible as a united front. My running mate will be someone who has let go of the dirty politics of the past and move towards making American safer today, tomorrow and beyond. I appreciate Senator Clintons interest in being my Vice President but at this point my decision has not been made."

You can plagarize the heck out of what I just said Barack. You have my permission!!!

Obama 08

I would love to see a joint ticket. Good for the dems and good for the country. Each could do a lot of good to unite this country. Hope they both consider it.

They both have the same values, just Clinton is more experienced and a fighter. She is some one who does not give up and give in to pressures or unjust treatment. For those of you who say she is not trustworthy, what do you mean? If you are talking about all the scandals, none were proven no matter how much they tried and wished for. For those of you who believe she is divisive, I don’t think it is true. Most of us don’t like a strong woman who has a conviction; I believe it is us who don’t give a woman a chance. Either we are jealous or we believe a woman should be beaten. We are taking a risk with Obama, why not with some one who we know will do a good job since she has proven herself over and over again.
Hillary / Obama will be the best ticket.

Senator Clinton and her close supporters, wonders why nobody believes she has a softer side to her. The truth is, the Hillary we see, is the REAL Hillary. She continues to give numerous examples, of how she is not the candidate of CHANGE. For example, all the negative ads for personal gain. There's no justification for that. She blamed Obama for tearing apart the Democratic Party with negative ads, just to do the same thing. Throwing tantrums to get more media coverage and not releasing her TAX RETURNS. If Hillary is the nominee, I'll just sit this election year out.

P.S.
she doesn't have any experience either. She's just a junior senator too.

wow very simple OBAMA CAN'T WIN!!!!! Three chances to knock out Mrs Clinton, came up short. After saying in one of his Angelic speeches we will win Texas and Ohio, He lost both, and after just one week of media scrutiny he CRUMBLED CRUMBLED crumbled.!!!!

DEMOCRATES WISE UP THE REPUBLICANS WILL SWIFT VOTE THE $HIT OUT OF THIS ANGELIC SPEAKER WITH NO PLANS OR IDEAS EXCEPT TO COUNTER SOMEONE ELSES IDEAS AND PLANS!!

The Republicans have voted FOR him TO CHOSE HIM for democrats so they can exploit him in the general election THINK!!!

i'M African American who's father is from Ghana West Africa like Barack and i think he is a great inspiration and i love him for what he's done but people got to realize truth when they see it HE'S NOT READY TO BE PRESIDENT!!!!!

Although Clinton and Obama as everyone seems to be saying, are not that different. The way they are going to implement their policies are way way different.

In real term, Obama has more to offer the US more than Clinton. Everyone keep forgetting about Lobbysts. America can do much better if the government deal with this people in a cleaner way than it has always be done – say better by 10%, improvement to the national efficiency, productivity and most citizens feeling can improve by more that 45% to 50%.

If every salesmen are allowed to sell $5.00 at $2.50, no salesman will run out of commissions. America need to change and change drastically if she wants to remain relevant and competitive with these up and coming countries like China, India and even Russia and others.

Voters need Obama for the nation, Obama need them. Clinton/Obama ticket when Obama appears to on top is a no go. If Clinton goes to the top in this election, Obama has to be out of the race entirely otherwise big betrayal looms for the young to medium age voters who happens to be the most needed by any nation. Obama can not be part of Clinton's government and run in 8 years time on this desire he has for change.

Obama/Clinton ticket by all means. OK .

NO this is not a great idea at this stage – prior to last week I would have said yes – but after all her negativity – no way – just want the Clinton's to ride off into the sunset.

Can any of you people touting her experience please ARTICULATE Sen Clinton's 35 years experience?

John, I don't know your age., but I have watch every word of every election since I was six and that is a long time. I will not blame her for the sins of her husband. She has so much to offer and she can handle herself quite well. she has thick skin and can take the pressure. I am open minded and I will not sit in jugement on her. It is not a woman thing it is not a race thing. I want the best qualified candidate for the time. Barack will be ready too some day. She has the experience and he has the golden tongue. Please reconsider. It is best for the country. Nobody is perfect. She is a pitt-bull when she has to be. This is her not Bill. She can keep him in line. Thanks, God Bless You.

clinton has the audacity to stand on national television and propose a dream ticket?after all the lie,mudslinging,fear-mongering attacks of barack.america i feel that texas and ohio made the first mistake i have witnessed in this presidential election.why bet your money or more less your votes on a candidate who will not prevail in a contest against mc cain.i strongly advice senator obama not to consider hillary as his VP if he wants to become president.repblicans are waiting for the chance to expose all the baggage she has the obama is trying not to mention.hillary is sly,manipulative and egoistic.voting for her will only unify a fractured republican party.i have monitored elections and by the look of things hillary is doomed to fail.if the DNC wants a ticket to win the election i suggest Obama/Edwards 08.america take note the world is watching and waiting for a good president to lead the world.Obama has been chosen by over half of the nation what else do you need to make your final decision.

Obama………Mr President
Edwards……Mr Vice President

Go Obama!

When its all said and done I would understand if he asked Clinton to join his ticket. It would certainly be a stong move in bringing the party together. I'd personally prefer a beautiful blonde VP like Scarlet Johanson, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

We are all democrats and should vote democratic in the general! All the folks saying I won't vote if ________ gets the tickets is not being a true democrat. Support the future!

I would love a Clinton/Obama ticket. I doubt it would happen the other way around. At least this way it would give him the experience he needs to run after she is done. By last nights victories its plain to see the voters are going for experience vs. inspiration. Obama won't be able to carry these big states on his own especially Florida where he is not that popular. If McCain asks Romney to be his running mate and Obama is the nom. you can forget about a Dem. President. Romney is a good economist and Ohio Dems. and Independents will be looking at that.

Joint ticket? Well, that doesn't sound too bad, but which Hillary should we put on the ticket? The woman is obviously bipolar. The bipolar express hasn't been approved by the TSA. I don't believe this will be something that will come to culmination. I like Obama and I hope that the message of Change for all is being felt across this nation. When it comes to experience none of the candidates have experience running a country or being President. Experience comes with doing a job. How many college grads have experience doing a job until they are actually in the job? Barack is my choice and from the delegate votes he's a lot of Americans choice. Allow the people to make an informed decision. We need change in this country and we need Hillary to turn over her tax returns. When will all of this happen? Hillary is the same politics that we've seen for years. Look at what happens when electing a candidate whose family member has formally run this country. George Sr. ran and look at what George W. Bush, Jr. has done with this country. Now, do we want the same thing from Hillary after Bill? We NEED REAL CHANGE!

Obama 08.. Elevate in 08

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Obama still in the delegate lead. One victory does not win the war, Hillary, and now you want to force yourself on the ticket…in the top spot no less. Typical Clinton-ish tactics. We'll see in the next primary when Obama finally secures his victory, then maybe Hillary can beseech Obama for a spot on his ticket.

Your personal "Feelings" concerning Hillary Clinton is totally irrelevant. Your small insignificant vote is meaningless by itself. However, take pride in knowing that your choice of the Democratic Nominee was based on the issues and the most qualified individual. All of you know it is Hillary Clinton..So do what you need to do………

If Senator Obama wins the Democratic nomination, I don't think I can vote. He is just not ready… Wish he was, great speaker.

wait hillary clinton i think would make a good vp but for pres. no i think she would mess up and really the pres. just makes the ideas up its really the senates and congress who really decides on what happens so maybe we should think a little lower on the chain

If the race continues, No matter what happens we democrats loose in November again. This race will be so bloody there will be no chance for us to truly unify. As a result, McCain is going to slide through. So, get ready for another 4 years of Bush and a war with Iran.

If Hillary is on the top of the ticket, Obama would be VP in name only. Bill would have more power. Please, no more Clintons near the Whitehouse . . .

If you people that are bashing Hillary would ask just one question of Obama it may surprise you. What is on his resume?????? This is a young man and very intelligent, good speaker, and on his way up but to be president I don't think so. Has he ever had any experience in the business world or foreign affairs. If you would ask him the hard questions he wouldn't be able to answer you. Think about it! He would probably make a good VP or Secretary of State but not president yet until he get something more under his belt.

I am completely flabbergasted about what everyone's interpretation of a 'smear' campaign is. Has Hillary really done this??

She put out an ad of a ringing phone and stated a very real concern with many American's today, 'who will be able to answer the phone, the call, who will be able to step up?'. In the ad, of course, it indicated her. Absolutely no mention of Obama. Nor did I think the ad was enabling fear. It's a real question and relates to what her message has been about, experience.

As far as the NAFTA mishap, someone within Canada stated his interpretation of a meeting that was conducted b/w Canadian officials and top advisors of the Obama group. The AP brought it to attention and Hillary rode with it. You all really don't think Obama would have utilized the same oportunity? Give me a break, if you get down to it, he is still a politician. You can compare what Hillary did with the NAFTA memo to what Obama is doing by calling out for Hillary to release her tax info. They are both calling out for the truth.

Ohio was also a crucial part of George W. Bush's win. That shows you how stupid the people of Ohio are. Go Obama!

I think this is the best way to unite our party and country. Popular vote wise they are basically 50/50. If this happens I believe there will be two decades of prosperity ahead of us — and we can all stop this endless bickering. I think they should do this before the PA vote. John Edwards should then be attorney general.

If either one of them drop out 50% of our party will be injured and that's 50% more people likely to vote Rep.

SHOW US THE TWO OF YOU CAN UNITE THIS COUNTRY!
Clinton/Obama!!!

Obama run don't do it!! All those years to get where you are today should be worth more the just a VP job that probably won't even matter with Bill in the White House. We all know who will really be the VP. Poor victim of the Clintons who ends up with that job. Just waiting for when he/she is call to do something. Wait four years maybe they will leave and you can try again or maybe not. Look what happen to Al Gore when he tried. He lost. I advice you to stay till the very end and if its not for you then go back to Illinios and serve your time as senator of that state. Probably americans with time will notice the huge mistake it will be to get this idiots back in the white house.

My husband worked in DC with the government during the Clinton presidency and knows what they are like. The other day we saw a woman on tv who worked for the Clintons during that presidency and she was talking about how she made a suggestion that Bill disagreed with and the next day came to work to find that her office had been moved to a smaller room. My husband said, "another person speaks forth about what these people (the Clintons) are really like. I asked him why more dont, and said because she might get the presidency and people are afraid of revenge from them. It's amazing to me that there are people out there that support this couple at all.

I hope Obama finally gets off the high road and starts attacking Clinton for all of the scandals she brought to the White House the first time, as well as pointing out that she is beholden to PACs and Lobbyists and is not really looking for change… She is beyond condescending when she says that Obama is only running on a speech from 2002… He actually has more legislative experience than Clinton. People seem to be thinking that they are voting for Bill when they vote for Hillary. She really thinks that she is owed the nomination and can't fathom why the people might want real change… not lip service… ask the people from her congressional district about her follow through on promises… check her financials… If the superdelegates give the nomination to Hillary, I will be staying home in the general election as she represents more of the same in Washington…

Mrs clitton always boast that she has expirince and all that. one thing i am not convince of is that her expirience is not in presidential capacity. she should stop fooling people. Her aggressive nature and unprovoke attack of her opponent also call into question her humility and respect for others

I believe that McCain beats Hillary but loses to Obama. Hillary is the establishment. She represents the same ol' same ol' from the democratic party. Making her less attractive to independents. Moreover, she's a fake. I can't believe people can't see right through her!

If Clinton is the nominee, even if Obama is there as VP, I will not be voting Dem.

We can only hope that Clinton and Obama can overcome their differences to come together as the Democratic ticket. Together they would be unstoppable against McCain.

Why would anyone be so against Clinton that they'd vote for McCain if she wins the nomination? Are you just tossing a coin who you vote for? That makes no sense at all!

With Hillary on the ticket it wouldn't be a "dream", it would be a "nightmare".

She can't win Indepenedents, young and educated (informed voters ) by herself. She needs him more than he needs her.

Yeah!!! I wish there would be a dream ticket…with CLINTON AS PRESIDENT and Obama as VP…that's the ONLY way I'll vote for. If Obama is president on the ticket I will NOT VOTE AT ALL!

Hillary '08!!!

I simply could never support her. She is a she-devil and a cut-throat. Obama needs to release the hounds on her. Maybe then he'd get some fair and balanced coverage. As far as the Clintons are concerned, "dogs will alwys return to their vomit, and pigs to the mud." That should just about some up all up. Next state!

Clinton has conducted her campaigne in a very low and petty manner. She is pretty sure she cant win outright now so she has decided to kill the dems chances. Basically if she wont be president no dem will. She will continue the war with Obama thereby neutralizing the dems chances unless Obama agrees to a super ticket with her as the presidential nom. What a low life. This woman is completely wreckless and frankly unbelieveable in her claims and sincerity.

The only thing she has going for her is the fact that she is a woman. People figure its about time we try something new and have a female president with experience. Woman or not, Clinton is not a good person and seems to want to be president for the glory and fame and not for what she can do for the country. There is no limit to how low she will go or what she will do to manipulate for votes. If Clinton wins, i forsee someone who will continue to bow down to lobbyists, big oil and the pharma companies and really not change anything. It will be a wasted 4 years and be as unproductive or bad as Bush has been.

Clinton will be a disaster for our country.

If Hillary is in the White House, I'm leaving the country until she's out. If she had a soul she'd sell it to be in office. We don't need that kind of person leading our country.

The ego of this woman is amazing…. SHE IS STILL LOSING….

Hillary is a Bush in she's clothing.

I can not believe the amnesia people are suffering from in this country. What a bunch of dopes. The Clintons are covered with the stench of scandal — financial, political, sexual, everything that stinks in American politics. Hillary will be red meat to the Republicans to attach and shred in a fall election. She is detested by about 50% of Democrats. I would vote for George Bush — the worst president ever, before I would vote for Hillary. 35 years of experience. What a joke. Let's take a look at the details of her legal work as a lawyer, her scheming in real estate transactions, her polarity and divisiveness. Are people just wacky who actually think she can win in November????

It's extremely premature for Clinton to be talking about who would be her VP. Sounds like she's trying to ride the wave of the Obama momentum.

Most of all, it is extremely disappointing to know that Clinton will resort to the fear-mongering tactics of the Bush crowd. And equally as distressing to learn that there are still voters that will fall for it. The 3AM ad will backfire on whomever is the Democratic nominee, in a big, bad way. That ad alone could hand the election to the Republicans. Talk about poor judgment.

It's time to turn the page. We the people are tired of the same old status quo, same old family dynasties.

Not a chance. Obama does not need Hillary to get into the White House, but its very evident she needs him.

Let's wait until we see those tax returns and those 11,000+ papers from her tenure as 1st Lady (still pending) to analyze and determine how trustworthy she is and whether her touted experience is real.

If I were Obama, I'd focus on those two items until Pennsylvania.

No need to go negative, simply remind everyone we still have some outstanding items from the Clinton-side that need to be presented to the American people. Once the information is released, we can then determine if she's what's really best for this country (highly-doubtful).

It is with great intrest to see Sen. Hillaary Clinton win Ohio, and Texas, which has brough her back in the Demoratic race. its also with great pleasure to see now that Americans are getting the message, and realizing that the best choice for President would be Hillary Clinton. not only a clear choice, but i would say a most trust worthy person.

Im an African Canadian black, and do love Sen. Obama ideas, he is getting the younger generation in America hype to his settings, but in todays world, talk is cheap, without solutions. i beleive Sen,. Clinton would be and will be a good choice for president, with Obama beign her running mate. sure with Clinton, and Obama, that would be the dream ticket, to erase the Bush administration mistakes and put America back on to the world stage. son i do hope all Americans will wake up. and push ahead for Sen. Hillary Clinton

Obama should pick a woman running mate (white) before PA primary. There were many woman governors who are moderate as well as REAL EXPERIENCED. That should bring back the women voters and blue collar workers.

Obama supporters cannot be democrats because if they were democrats they would accept a ticket with both candidates who have received support from the democratic party.

How is the DNC stealing the nominatin if Hillary is on the ticket?
The DNC set up the superdelegates specifically for a situation like this.
1. Neither nominee gets/earns the required MINIMUM delegates.
2. The race is virtually 50/50 so neither gets a clear mandate.
3. And, So many voters that are NOT registered democrats turn out in a given primary and vote for one candidate (Barack), thus "STEALING" the vote away from the candidate that MOSTof the core democratic party voters want (Hillary). The superdelegates then are supposed to bring the vote back to the wishes/votes of the party faithful who have voted in the past and will continue to vote in future elections. That is what they superdelegates are there for. To disenfranchise the core democratic party base just to cater to the newbies, the independents and the republicans is just silly, wrong, undemocratic and disenfranchising to the registered democratic party electorate.

Bottom line? Clinton BETTER be on the ticket… Barack, not so much.

Bottom line?

I am so proud that you are my Senator!

Go Hillary, All the Way to the White House!

Obama is too proud to a fault. He looked angry last night while preaching about hope and the power of words. He needs to get a grip on that and not show his anger so visibly.

Obama/ Edwards 08

Obama-Edwards '08! Obama is going to win the Democratic nod and has a better chance not having Hillary on the ticket. Hillary's remarks only make it a "dream team" for her and her supporters. No thanks.

Hope not!! I'd much rather see a Clinton/ Wes Clark ticket. A lot of us would not like to see Obama on the ticket.

Obama/Edwards the future is now.

Obama supporters, please don't shoot yourself in the foot by making some of these comments. Sit back and think about how much better off the US would be with a Democrat in the White House for 16 years! Having Clinton in the top seat for 8 would give Obama the much needed experience he needs on the national scene. With the potential changes that could be made in the next 8 years, he would be unstoppable! Too many of his "followers" come from those "red" states, states that WILL vote for McCain in November. Think before you balk and spew all the hatred. Aren't you going AGAINST what your candidate "says"?

The people of Ohio state hillary should be at the top of the ticket? What about all the people in the previous 12 contests that stated Obama should be at the top of the ticket? When do we find out how many repub crossed over to vote for Hillary as Rush called for just to keep the Democtratic ticket in a jumbled mess longer?

Only with Obama as President!

And the sore losers come out to play…haha

I was really proud watching Barack Obama give his speech. The truth is, he doesn't have to do anything like what Senator Clinton is doing in order to win the nomination. He's got integrity in spades, and she's just lacking.

As long as he remains dignified and runs a campaign that his supporters can be proud of, everything will be okay. I would hate for Clinton's standards of integrity to rub off on him or more likely on his staff.

For those people working for Senator Obama: Please don't stoop to Hillary's level. Continue to make us proud. Maintain integrity. If you make a mistake, just admit it and we'll keep on moving with you. Not being able to admit a mistake is what GWB and Hilllary Clinton are most famous for. Let them "do them" and we'll continue to change the world one believer at a time.

Obama will not win a campaign built around negative attacks because the people that like him and believe in his candidacy believe in his ability to be different and truthful. All he has to do is continue to inspire us to be the people that we know we are.

Don't waste time getting into specifics in speeches either — if people are serious about understanding policies, they can EASILY read them. the details are too cumbersome to deal with on a stage.

God Bless America,

The world is watching.

Where are your tax returns, liar? Give me a break. What a piece of work can screw over the party and smile in the morning Hillary you will do anything win, even split the party and let the republicans rule for 16 more years. Unbeliveable one of or own ruin it for america just for her person ego. How is that good for our country? Hillary is wanting us to vote for Mccain she might just get her way. and Howard Dean i though you were smarter then this are you going to let her ruin or chances to rule for 16 years. Howard you know better rein in Hillary tell her she will lose this for all of us if she keeps it up. She will not win, now or in Nov.

The only Democratic dream ticket possible excludes Hillary altogether. She can not win the majority of elected delegates, her only hope is the unelected smoke filled room delegates. A stolen nomination will DESTROY the Democrats at all levels, it is certain that major Democratic voting blocks will refuse to vote period. Hillary is the major hope of McCain and of continued war in Iraq. Her ego condemns our country to continued disaster.

What if Obama lost 11 states in a row?

What if Clinton won the popular vote?

What if Clinton had doubled the amount of states Obama had won?

What if Clinton had more delegates?

And then they handed Obama the nomination…

Think about it.

The ONLY way for her to win is by the superdelegates handing the nomination to her.

GO HILLARY!
A joint ticket is the only way for the Democrats to retake the White House…a newbie like Obama doesn't have a chance against an old hand like McCain. Both Hillary and Obama would bennefit from the partnership, especially with him being so short on experience. Hillary can beat McCain in the general because she can carry Ohio and Florida, but it will be a much more decisive win if they are on the ticket together!
HILLARY/OBAMA
"Experience Change"

I have a question for all those Obama supporters, if Obama is so wonderful and Hillary is so polirazing, why can't he just win. I mean, he is supposedly running against a candidate that could never win, so why is this so hard for him?

I will tell you why, because all he does is talk and agree with Hillary. There might be substance on his website but he never talks about his plans and never answers questions from the audience.

Hope is great. But people should have enough hope that they don't need to seek it from a politician. Or have our lives become so empty that we look for hope from anyone.

As for those states he has won, take into account that many of them he won because they were caucus (and not many people voted), which disenfranchise voters who cannot make it because they have to work. Also take into account that many of those states were not swing states, but states that are going to go republican in November. One should wonder how many states he would have really won if they had primaries.

She says this because she's afraid she will lose the nomination because though she says that the only thing that matters is to "win, win, win" and not look at the numbers, it's the numbers that matter, and even after winning the Ohio and Texas primaries, she still is almost 100 delegates behind Obama.

I am slightly irritated for those of you who believe that Obama is a bad candidate because he would rather take the wrath and answer the tough questions rather than hide from his own securities by attacking others. Hillary is self centered and seeking self fulfilment by making others look bad instead of working on herself.

To her fans, I was a Hilary fan until she decided that the only way she could get ahead was by tearing others down. This certainly is not change. Do you all really believe that Hilary is not dirty. Barak has chosen to keep his word and show respect for her campaign. This gives concrete evidence of how he might handle our nation, with care, respect, and concern. Remember it takes a strong individual to refrain from immature and defensive mannerisms. This is the truly.

Lastly, I'm glad Hilary has big dreams for our nation, however, that is the problem. Bush had dreams to, unfortunately, he never listened to the dreams and hopes of others. This is not a president for all but a president for one. Go Hilary….You seem to have it all figured out…..You will not have my vote until you learn how to be a team player and I don't see that in the near future.

Why now is Hillary hinting at a dream ticket? She knows that she cannot win the election, and if she steals the nomination with these bogus Superdelegates I know it want happen. I am joining a great number of people calling for a blackout the vote against her in the general election and voting Independant. It's time for changee and she and Bill need to stop all their gutter politics. Selling there souls for a position.

Hillary has worked so hard and so has Obama. You guys need to practice what you preach and stop bickering yourselves!! They have both made strong cases!

Be happy for the Party at LARGE!

Oh my gosh, do we really want a Bush-Clinton and then another Bush-Clinton. Lets go with Obama and get our country where it has a right to be. We DO NOT need more of the same. Do you for a minute think Mr. Bill will be able to operate in the role of "First Man." Think again. Come on America, lets do what we need not what the Clinton's need.

More like a nightmare ticket if your not a clintonian..

Only Obama/Clinton will work for me. Clinton's dirty tricks would ruin Obama forever!

I don't want to see Hillary on any ticket. She has continued the dirty politics of old. I wanted to see oponents dealing with issues not slamming each other. Hillary took the low road and the obviously Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island like that road. I guess many Americans just want to see a dirty fight – regardless of truth or not. And anyone who believes it's easiler to be black than a woman in America is delusional.

If Obama puts Clinton on the ticket as a veep, he will not live long enough to make any changes.

Personally, I would love to see a Clinton/Obama ticket. In that order.

I 'hoping' for Obama to take it all, but would consider a Hillarry/Obama for 2008 and 2012. Obama can be president in 2016.
This is Hilary's last shoot at the presidency. Obama is young and can wait a bit longer… although America needs him now.
Edgar

Hmmm let me see…..

I'm ahead in the delegates
I'm ahead in the popular vote
I'm ahead in the number of states won

Now why would I want to be Hillary's VP?

Obama has no reason to accept a VP position.

The math does not add up for Hillary……….

Only if Hillary is the Presidential nominee and Obama is the VP.

He cannot carry Ohio or Florida. That means he loses the general Election.

The latest polls show Hillary beats McCain in Florida, but McCain beats Obama. And of course, there is Ohio!

Go HILLARY!

On to Pennsylvania, and of course, we also have Puerto Rico. BIG TIME HILLARY COUNTRY! She will WIN the nomination and rightfully so!

caroline rose… she is getting her tax returns "fixed" just like she has "fixed" alot of things in her campaigns etc to slide by from getting put in jail.

I believe right now Hillary is the only choice we have to win the November election against McCain.  Her experience and knowledge with politics goes weithout saying.  Hillary is our only choice.  McCain will eat up Obama and spit him out of the race.  We do not know what else they will dig up about Obama and I hate to find out.  This thing about Obama being her running mate, I do not believe right now that it is a good idea.  We must know what is the truth about this Chicago problem and if he really did tell Canada that his belief in Nafta will not effect our position with Canada.  This Chicago and Canada problem are so vague and we must know what significance it has to do with him personnaly.Truth must be known before any joint ticket shoud be contemplated.

clinton is delusional. obama is way ahead in the delegate count, so the AMERICAN PEOPLE have said VERY CLEARLY that it should be OBAMA.

What now, it will be another decade of rule between the Bushs and the Clintons?? Clintons' will clean up after Bushs' and Bushs' will clean up after the Clintons. I think its time to clean them all. But then again who is hearing to the little guy….Once again the establishment wins – Congratulations!. As anticipated Hillary may lead and Obama will be her VP. GOD Bless America!

To all you Obama supporters blaming Hillary for attack ads. I didn't hear any complaining after the candidates second debate when Obama and Edwards both attacked Hillary. If you say it then you have to be man enough to walk the walk. So far Obama likes dignity. He is a whiner. All he is running on is I didn't vote for the war in Iraq. He's right he didn't. He didn't have a chance to. He simply was not part of the Senate in 2003. GET REAL PEOPLE DO THE MATH, How could he as a first term Senator. He wasn't around at the time> She is simply the best candidate for the job of President. These two candidates do need to definitely think of joining up because going separate now with the Democrat party so divided the only change for them to beat MCain is to join together. Ideal ticket is: HILLARY/OBAMA 08

That "dream ticket" Hilary talks about is for votes.

SHE IS NOT CONSIDERING OBAMA FOR VP. Their styles are polar opposites.
There has already been a poll that Obama supporters would not vote for Hilary and she knows it.
I also take offense " as Ohio goes, so goes the nation".
I am from Missouri and I do not want my President to think so much about winning that every other state is UNIMPORTANT because he/she did not win it.

These two statements are starting to divide the party and that is not Presidental.

GO OBAMA!!!

Hillary is conniving and the epitome of all the bad qualities women are often accused of having. She's not to be trusted and she has NO experience! What crisis situation did she ever respond to with effective results? How did she prevent the war? Conservative talk show hosts told all their viewers and listeners to go out and vote… for Hillary because the republicans know they can beat and know it will divide the democratic party and delay things until June. Everyone fell for it too which is pathetic.
Many people, like myself, will vote for Obama or no one at all. I'm not voting for "second best" – especially when she's insane and evil.
My prediction, like everything else she's done, she'll manipulate the system, and cheat her way to Election day, lose against McCain (after all doesn't HE have MORE experience??) and then divorce Bill. After blaming him.
She will cost everyone the White House. She does not care about the people – she cares about personal glory. Women who vote for her just because she's a women are voting on the weakest pre-requisite.
I'd love a woman president… just not THAT women president.
The joint ticket is a lame consolation prize that she's using as leverage to lure voters to her – Are people seriously stupid enough she will let Obama take part in ANY decisions once she's the boss?
The republicans want her to get the nomination because they have a plan to take her down that's more effective than the one they have in store for Obama. Anne Coulter & Rush Limbaugh actually endorse Clinton for a REASON.

The country will vote for the Democratic nominee. And that nominee should be the person who won the most pledged delegates and popular vote. As of today, Barack Obama has 700,000 more popular votes than Hillary Clinton. And, he has the most pledged delegates.

Its not about the big states, its about the country.

If it would help the citizens of this country and keep the democratic party from any more in-house fighting, let's do it. OBAMA-CLINTON or CLINTON-OBAMA is stiil far better than McCain and whoever in the BIG HOUSE. A combination of both's candidates ideas and abilities could be AWESOME. GO DEMOCRATS!

Oh mama! It's still not "old bomber" versus Obama.

We know what Ohio did in 2004 — result GW Bush, what a shame Ohio, again !

Even God cannot take you guys out of your woes !

Hat off to Clinton. She is smart to announce this after the victories. Don't care what Obama would think or do but people will talk about this Clinton-Obama ticket for a long time, thinking Obama is inferior. Hat off.

Obamas' concession speech says it all. He cannot speak without referring to AFRICA. I think the people are tired of "I did not vote for the war in Iraq." The NAFTA flub showed how he is just like what he preaches to change. Mississippi is mostly black, therfore, he most likely will win there. But, who knows for sure. The super delegates know you cannot win in November without at least two or more of the big blue states. Obamas' wins are in the predominately republician states. A joint ticket might be the only way to unite this party. I don't see Obama excepting this concept even though he preaches unity. He is in this to win. Michelle says he will not run again and he does tend to look to women for answers, so he will not except a VP position.

Pardon me for thinking, but how does a win in only Ohio decide who the nominee is when you are behind in all categories?
This is why I do not respect Sen Clinton, they are so used to spinning, and manipulation, they think everyone is uneducated and stupid.

This is a good idea if you think about it. And would be better for Obama IF he is VP for several reasons.

1. He gets experience. To a lot of people, he is still not that well known. While having state experience, he only has 3 years at the Federal level. He needs more experience and exposure. State politics are a lot different then National politics.

2. As VP, he gets to sit in the Senate and try to truly bring them together on issues. While he only votes if there is a tie, it does not stop him from talking and mediating. This allows him to build up a large relationship on both sides of the isle.

3. He can help restore America's place in the world better from the VP position then as the President. Because the job of President is very demanding, he can go to these places and help restore our image while Hillary takes care of domestic matters. While it may sound sexist, let the woman clean up, let the man handle the fights. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton visiting these other countries, just imagine what they could do together. Imagine what Obama could learn from Bill Clinton.

4. He sets himself to be the 2016 Presidental nominee. If he graciously said, OK I do lack a bit of experience nationally. Let's join forces and allow me to learn more to be a better candidate for the future. Let us together bring about the change that needs to happen. His ideas and her abilities to make them happen would be unstoppable. He is not as stiff as Al Gore. He will not suffer that fate. What he could learn from BOTH Clintons would make him a formidable opponet in 2016.

A dream ticket is Obama/Edwards

The democrats can't lose in November with a Obama/Clinton or vice versa ticket!

Go Hillary! I would consider only if Hillary was the nominee. Obama vp.

Incredible…the woman who divides

now wants to paint herself as a uniter. Anyone think she has the ability to do so? She has proven the opposite over the past few weeks.

yuck…could this lady's campaign be more SCHIZO?? Congratulations to anyone who wants to live in her world…must be a good time!

How gracious of her – finally.

OBAMA/EDWARDS is the most likely dream ticket. HRC is only a nightmare.

Obama/Edwards…. that's the way to go! There's no way Obama should be VP under her… and Obama wouldn't go with her as his VP after all of her smear campaigning. She doesn't represent his idealism in any way and America needs ideals right now.

Purely from an intellectual discussion point of view, I could see the joint ticket if Senator Clinton is the nominee. In that case, I think she will politically be forced to at least offer the VP slot to Senator Obama. He might take it, since he is then the front runner in either 2012 or 2016 depending upon the results of 2008. I cannot see the same being true if Senator Obama is the nominee. I don't see him asking Senator Clinton to be the VP nor do I see her accepting the spot. Unlike Senator Obama, Senator Clinton probably would not have a realistic chance to be the nominee in 2016.

That said, I will not vote for either of them, not because I dislike either on a personal level, but because I am totally opposed to all of their policy positions. Either a President Obama or a President Clinton would result in increased government entitlement programs that will require permanent higher taxes, increased union and special interest interference in the public education system, increased prices on manufactured goods and services through increased union wages and union influence, a potential shift of the Supreme Court from its current centrist makeup back to the more liberal slant of the 1980s and 1990s and decreased national security in the long term global war on terror.

I have been impressed by Senator Obama's attitude and compaign, and have even come to have a measure of respect for Senator Clinton's resilency. But I don't want either one of them answering a phone call in the White House at any time of the day or night. I will be voting for Senator McCain.

Bingo

Thank You All.

We are all right. I think this is the only solution.

Lets play nie throug hthe rest of the contests and hte best man/woman wins and 2nd gts the VP spot.

A lot of people have said this from day one. Is the Dem party fianlly listening?

If it does not happen the Dems can forget the Whitehouse! Maybe now they are opening there eyes.

We need a meeting betwen the two ASAP

Well if it makes you sick go puke in the corner Obama Whiners need to go out and get drunk on some Thunderbird .Hillary here we come 08

I do not see the Democratic Party split apart. This is politics and it is going to be somewhat nasty sometimes. I will vote for either in the general election and those that won't need to grow up and look at what they are contemplating more closely. It is extremely childish and self centered to say I will not vote for the democrat if my candidate does not get the nomination.
One more thing that is quite true, Obama keeps beating Clinton up over her decision to vote to authorize Bush to enter into Iraq, that is pretty negative in itself.
Either of them will beat McCain, and both will most certainly beat him. It is exciting that we have democratic candidates we are excited about. To refuse to vote for the other candidate if yours does not win is cutting your nose off to spite your face. That will lead to 4 and maybe 8 more years of what we have now. Is your self righteousness worth that?

Obama does not have enough experience to be in the hot seat. To those of you that accuse Hillary of slinging mud, she sat on the various current and old Obama discrepencies before it hit the current news through different channels. The questionable real estate deal with a slimball in Chicago hit the news few years back.. Obama should have walked away from that guy whether it was the house of his dreams or not. That was his fault. Not Hillarys. Obama should have refrained from making a statement "that it is not true" his representative met with the Canadians. That was his fault. Not Hillarys. Call it slinging mud, or call it telling the truth. Call it whatever you want, but make sure they get called on it.
Obama needs to step up to the plate now and give us more details on his specific plans, intentions, and stop the smooth talking. Unlike some Americans, I dont need to be romanced. Just give me the facts and your past record and qualifications.

I can support that ticket only if Obama is the President. He is the person to bring the country togather. There are many unanswered question left to be answered by Hillary.

I'm sorry, who is winning in the total and pledged delegate count in the democratic race? For some reason, I thought it was Obama. Now tell me why exactly he should consider being her vice president; this woman has a lot of ego.

Everyone that is tired of Hillary Clinton, will get over it. She is were she is because she worked hard. She can't make everyone happy, though she will still try too. If you are a true Democratic you will stand by whomever is the Democratic nominee.

Obama needs to start conviencing the people that he is a figher, not just take it. Explain why your top surrogate stated one thing when you stated another regarding NAFTA, show proof of your dealings with Rezko and quit whinning about the media. Because again Obama is a man of his WORDS.

A joint ticket ….I don't think so!! That would be a fate worse than
hell. Can you imagine being with TWO Clintons in the Oval Office!!!!
It woul be like Diana's marriage…….three's a crowd!!

Any ticket with Hillary Clinton on it will see McCain as President and worse..both the Senate and the House along with all competitive state offices will be won by the Republicans.

Hillary Clinton on the ticket will guarantee George Bush's Electoral Legacy.

The media is not the king maker it thought it was…
hahahahahehehe*lol Love seeing the talking heads eat their words!! Hillary is the best for the job shes a fighter shes the winner the come back kid of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**************************08

It would have to be an Obama/Clinton ticket. After all the dirty tricks she pulled during the primaries, there’s absolutely no way I could with a good conscience for Hillary to lead this Country. Obama would only hurt his future, if he was to VP for Clinton.

Even with Obama as Hillary's VP, I would vote for McCain. I don't want to see this country loose this opportunity to unity. She is not the one. She would serve well as pro-temp in the Senate. Honestly she would.

This has got to stop! It’s time for Obama and Clinton to sit down with the DNC and map out the future for the party and for this country.

I don't think so. I'm getting tired of seeing the Obamas. They make me sick

I don't get it. Why is this a "dream ticket"? With about 41% of the people in this country calling themselves Democrats, 39% calling themselves Republicans, and about 20% Independents, and Independents frequently voting Republican, how can you call Obama and Clinton a dream ticket? I think the demcrats are getting just a tad ahead of themselves this election. You've got a long way to go.

Sad, but true…regardless of efforts to change people keep returning to the same well. Change can not come easy but it is time for changing of the guard…not a shared ticket. The Clinton, Bush strangle hold has to be cut…the country needs a fresh start. Ohio, are you better off today?

I don't think a joint ticket is acceptable. It sounds like a cop-out. Let the voters make the decission. If we respond to negative campaining, rece,or gender we get what we deserve.

What a crock. Hillary wants to pretend she's ahead now. She had one good night, stooped a 12 state losing streak and now she wants to "let" little Barack be her VP.

Dream on, shrew. I am a 54 year old white guy who will vote McCain if you're at the top of the ticket.

Caroline Rose.
BRILLIANT AND SO WELL SAID. I can only go for a joint ticket if Clinton is on the bottom. She will destroy any future that Obama has if she is the top!

Hilary made it for me… I have seen her real face, which shows clearly how trouble she could be if nominated. Hopefully not because if that is the case we're all doomed. I just don't understand how she can change face in a matter of second. She is thrilled to run with you today and decided to trash you 48 hours later. People, GIVE ME A BREAK, there is no way I'll cast a vote for someone like her. The Clintons think they own this country… NO WAY

It is not amazing that HRC is relishing her win in Ohio, when the majority of her votes were based on race. HRC relishes that fact that race played a major key in her win. This is the divisive tactic that she has always used to win at all costs. It is not over.

Only a Clinton fan can really consider this a dream ticket? This is only a one sided deal with Obama losing either way. If he is the nominee, he can't pick Clinton after all his talk of getting past the tactics of the past (i.e., Clintonism). If Clinton is the nominee, he would be foolish to take the VP slot because everybody knows that Bill will be the real VP. Obama would get pushed to the background and either go down in flames with a failed administration or be discredited as having done nothing if the administration is successful. Either way, Obama can't afford to be on a ticket with Clinton.

For the last time: HILLARY CLINTON HAS NO EXPIERIENCE!!!!! SHE HAS SAID THIS SO MANY TIMES THAT PEOPLE ACUTALY BELIEVE IT!! LIKE SHE HAS DONE WITH MANY OTHER THINGS.

Cris in Texas…. have you ever done a search on Hillary Clinton? Its evident you have not… talk about Skeletons!!! Goodness Grief your in the closet with the light out huh? I think Clinton has enough Skeletons to to write a book!! If Obama has any its under one page!

SHE'S SUCH A PICKLE….I CAN'T STAND HER…HER LEFT WING FEMINISM HAS REALLY GOTTEN UNDER MY SKIN. SHE MILKS EVERYTHING JUST LIKE HER HUSBAND. IT'S THE CLINTON MACHINE. SPIN, SPIN, SPIN. SO NOW SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO RIDE HER HIGH WITH THE POSSIBILTY OF A CLINTON/OBAMA TICKET BUT ONLY WHEN IT'S TO HER ADVANTAGE. SHE COULDN'T OPEN HER DOUBLE TALKING MOUTH TO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN OBAMA/CLINTON TICKET BUT NOW POLLY WANTS A CRACKER. SHE SHOULD KNOW THAT IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS AND SHE SHOULDN'T DO ANY VICTORY DANCES QUITE YET…

The real dream ticket: Hillary and Bill with Chelsea as Secretary of State

I want to see a Democrat in the White House because I really believe that is what we NEED to get out of this abyss – However, after watching the "kitchen sink" tactics work- I'm not sure what the difference is between Hillary and John McCain. She pointed out in Toledo that she thinks both she and John McCain would be ready for the Presidency… She said Barack would "give a speech".
The delegate lead still belongs to Obama, and the fact that people bought into fear one more time just makes it more difficult to win.
Hillary has done too much damage to the Democratic Party. A call for a "Dream Ticket" is a call for a NIGHTMARE on Pennsylvania Avenue.
I can't see it happening.

Either Obama/McCain, or, McCain/Obama!

Clintons are just too divisive and too dirty. For a better America, let's keep the Clintons away from the white house. Vote for Obama! or, McCain!

A dream ticket won't happen. Hillary says this now in order to snare voters who are thinking of voting for Obama. But he probably won't help her in swing states and she doesn't want to be overshadowed by her own VP who is much more popular with the general population. My guess is that she'll pick someone like Evan Bayh, Ted Strickland or Jim Webb, all of whom will help her in key battleground states.

They're now going to battle this out until June while the Republicans unify around McCain. If the Democrats lose in November, they'll prove themselves to be true losers and we'll have the Democratic voters of Ohio and Texas to thank.

Oh no, I would lose all respect for Obama if he accepted. I heard Joe Scarborough say on Morning Joe this morning that Obama would have no choice but to accept. If Obama don't win the nomination he has already started a movement. He could leave the democratic party and b/c independent and continue to change AMerica. Obama and Edwards would be unbeatable as a team. Change and two Americas.

Birmingham, AL

Clinton won last night because she is tougher in the fight – probably the kind of person we should want for negotiations with many of the radical world leaders who threaten our national security. Obama showed at least two flaws in the 48 hours prior to the vote: (1) per the Canadian memo about the meeting between his economic spokesman on NAFTA, Obama is not much different from the average politician who "says what they want to hear", and (2) his judgment is not all that good, as evidenced by his hazy connections to Revco and how he handled the NAFTA issue.

Clinton has trounced him in the traditional Blue states, while Obama won in states that he will not have a chance in come November. Another comparison: Clinton wins in multi-state events where she and her surrogates have to campaign simultaneously on a national level (e.g., Super Tuesday, and last night), while Obama does well when he can concentrate his personality on smaller venues, particularly when there are large groups of African-American voters present.

With that said, however, this is virtually tied right now and will be by the convention. One possible scenario might have the super delegates go for Obama, which could cause Clinton's disaffected (and more independent) voters turn to McCain in disgust.

Given the above, I think that the party's only chance to win the White House will be to nominate Clinton.

"Dream Ticket"??? Only in her mind. Sounds like desperation to me!! Keep fighting it out while McCain talks sense back into the voters

There will be no Clinton in the white house, maybe only as a maid to "clean house" as Hillary put it. Scoreboard Obama. Nothing has changed.

Yes! Clinton-Obama 2008. That's a dream ticket. I am so proud of Hillary and for her wins. Keep it going!

How magnanimous of her. She still trails by about as many delegates as before and graciously offers second fiddle to the frontrunner.

Please.

Dream on Hillary!

She better hope it's heading for a joint ticket because that is the ONLY way I would vote for her. I like Obama but man, Hillary really stuck a wrench in our plan with Ohio and Texas. If she wants to save the party, that's the only way. Because if they give her the nomination over Obama and not pick him as her VP…….I am offically done!

As the now old saying goes, "Gag me with a spoon."

No way, no "dream ticket" we don't want the Clintons near the whitehouse! Keep going Obama, don't fall for that witch and her lies!

NEVER. WE DO NOT NEED A TRIFECTA, BILL, BARACK AND HILLARY.

Get it "TOGETHER" you two.Time is of the essence.Landslide victory or 100 yearsin Iraq!!!

So "dirty politics" wins again.

If Hillary becomes president, we know what we will be in for!

Hilary Clinton will not chose Obama for VP!! Cant you se she is playing the game again. Trying to get votes by basically saying a vote for me is a vote for Obama. She is a dirty politician, why would anyone believe she would choose Obama after all the critisim she gives him.

Bill is going to be her VP, in fact if not in name.

So why doesn't she just go ahead and make it official?

Then, The Clintons can REALLY destroy the Democratic
Party! Which they're going to do anyway, if they can't win!

Say hello to President John McCain!

There's a basic lack of understanding of facts here.

1 – No GOP or Dem nominee is ever going to pick the other party as VP. Never ever.

2 – Clinton is not trailing Obama by double digits in PA. She is ahead by double digits.

3 – Obama would have to win the remaining states by 80% to have enough delegates to clinch before the convention. This will not happen. It will be a brokered convention.

4 – Now that McCain has clinched, he and the GOP will be going after OBAMA full bore. Not Clinton. She's already been fully vetted; i.e., everything bad about her is well-known. Not so with Obama.

5 – Obama would never ask Clinton to be VP nor would she ever take it.

6 – Obama would be a fool to turn down VP if offered.

No way let Obama close or near white house. I strongly support Hillary, but IF Hillary bring Obama in, I will vote McCain.

Stop Obama at any cost!!!!!!!!!!!!

Period.

Well, that might be Mrs. Clinton's "dream", but it is defenitely not happening. Not after what she has done. She should better go and ask McCain – maybe he will take her as his VP!

OBAMA/EDWARDS '08!

Barack Obama should NEVER ACCEPT VP TO HILLARY CLINTON!!!
It's just not worth it. She soo sleezy, crooked and vile all his integrity will be dragged down in the Clinton filth. He'll never be able to run for office after them. (remember AL GORE!) When she steals the nomination…let her loose it on her own. He does not need her. She needs him. Thousands of new voters…Bye Bye! Black Democratic vote…Bye Bye! Independent vote…Bye Bye! Hillary trolls…48%
Can you say President McCain?

First and foremost Im an Obama fan, but Im ok with a joint ticket. If they took all the voters these primaries are bringing the Democratic ticket and put them together, the Republicans wont have a chance. Yes Im aware they dont compliment each other as far as states and electorial votes, but they still bring alot to the table together.

Hillary is slinging a little mud lately but remember they are still competing. Plus this mudslinging is mundane compared to some political races in the past. However with his reluctance to return the punches (which I can respect him on as well), I wonder when he gets to the White House if he can play dirty when needed to get the job done. Being a President sometimes requires some grit and backbone! Im not saying Obama couldn't do that, but Hillary is obviously gritty! Plus I remember a time a few years ago the idea of a Clinton back in the White House made people giddy! Funny how quickly thats changed!

Hillary won Texas, Ohio, California, New York, New Jersey, Florida….. these are the BIG states that matter in the general election. Obama cannot win a general election by winning Delaware, Washington D.C., Hawaii, and other small states with few electoral votes. He can't compete with McCain in the big states in a general election. He
will lose. Go Hillary!

Am I the only one who thinks that so many of those old people who voted for Hillary were republicans who would much rather see McCain up against Clinton than Obama? Listen to Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter push this! I didn't mind when the American Idol voters went for Sanjaya as a joke, but this is real. No wonder so many people are turned off by politics.
We need Obama in 08, and if I were him, and the Clinton's manage to pull this off, I would refuse an offer of VP. He has nothing to gain. And if he wins, as he should, he would be crazy to saddle himself with her.

question; The fact Obama is not being ask the tough questions is whose responsibility? And what kind of leadership does that represent? If I don't know the tough questions to ask, then I must not have any business in the race.

Everything Clinton does is considered low and a smear tactic. How stupid are people that they cannot see that Obama has done the same. The only thing he does is say that he is above the fray, but he really isn't. I think the presidential nominee should have the option of choosing the VP candidate and people should respect their decision. Afterall, if H.C. is the nominee, there are wonderful and talented and more experienced candidates than B.O.

Furthermore, I don't believe either candidate will have enough delegates, thus the superdelegates will come into play. Obama has not been able to carry key states needed to win the general election. Lets wait until the "democratic" process to play out. To have one campaign try to force the other one out (which many analysts now agree should not happen), is pretty arrogant.

Either outcome, the party needs to stop bickering because the Republicans read the blog too and they are calculating their strategy.

Why bother with Obama. When I think of how you and your husband have supported the African-American community through the years and now when you need them most, they desert you, please look to Bill Richards as your running mate or some othe loyal surrogate.

No idots we cannot now have a joint ticket Hillary must go. Obama has the delegete, if the super delegete decide this i will never vote for a demacrat again for life. Hillary has no place in U.S. politics anymore, Hillary the mudslinger, shes a liar, she will not ever get my vote. Obama/Edwards or right over to Mccain. Hillary cannot be a choice.

Just a thought…I was watching ALL the speeches from yesterday. Mike Huckabee was with his wife…John McCain was beside his wife…Obama's wife lead him out to the stage to speak…BUT WHERE IS BILL CLINTON?!?….I"m I the only one noticing that Hillary Clinton and her campagin are trying to HIDE Bill Clinton? Why do I not see them together…You only see Hillary by herself or with their daughter, or you see Bill by himself or with their daughter…Interesting Hillary…Do you honesty think Republicans will not pick up on this if you win the nomination?!?

Why are Obama people saying that Hillary was throwing mud last night?
1. It was the Canadian TV that said a member of the Obama team told a government official not to worry about NAFTA comments because it was just "politics". 2. It was not the Clintons who brought up the "long" term relationship between Rezko and Obama. This came up the last minute because the trial of Rezko started just the day before the elections. 3. The purpose of the phone ad was to simply illustrate that Hillary was more experienced to handle the unexpected. It was not ment to cause fear. (Obama must also have agreed as his rebuttal was "copy" her ad!

This primary has been a cake walk. If Obama wins we will loose.

I don't like this. Unfortunately this fight to the nomination will hurt the dems in Nov. There is going to be some hurt feelings on the side that doesn't get there way. There is no way Hillary can catch him in pledge delegates, even if Mi and Fl. re-votes, so they will just beat each other up until the convention. Then what? The Superdelegates decide? Bad Bad Bad all the way around

No way, I would rather see the DNC implode then Obama sell out on his principles.

I think it's a great idea. Clinton can be President for 8 years while Obama is VP and then he can be President for 8 years.

Ok so listen, Clinton has won the swing states that the Dems need in November, despite the odds against her. There are also plenty of the older Clinton supporters (aka. true old-school democrats) who will go towards McCain if Obama is the nominee because they don't trust him with the economy, or with most other things since he's so new… Trust me, I know plenty of them.

Not to mention the fact that if Obama is the nominee, the Republicans will attack him like crazy and Obama won't do what he has to do to win (i.e. fight for it)

Hey Dems, get it together… Do you want to win the general election or what?

Clinton '08 — and Obama as the VP would be even better!

Why is that the Obama supporters seem like a bunch of zealots and yet the Clinton supporters are game for entertaining a combinaton ticket?
It's been this way from the start of the primaries. Something seems to be amiss with the Obama supporters and no one can figure this out.

Is she honoured to be on the same stage as Obama again, or should be ashamed of himself today? Did Hillary start taking her medication again? I'm confused.

Dawn…..Hillary is The Manchurian Candidate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, the Dems are going to mess this up-split the party and the Republicans will rule once again.

Let's get real, people: a Clinton/Obama or an Obama/Clinton ticket will NOT win. We're still in a war, and you NEED someone with military service on the ticket to truly be a legitimate contender in the post-9/11 age. Regardless of who wins the Democratic nomination, if you would like to cream McCain in November, put Senator Chuck Hagel on the ticket. He's a Vietnam War vet (military experience) AND he's a republican (would show true bipartisanship on the part of the Dems). A Clinton/Hagel or Obama/Hagel ticket would dismantle McCain/Whomever in November.

Why not make this a "dream ticket?" The people have clearly voted for the both of them! I would rather see them in the White House than another republican "mess up." Our nation is in a crisis right now and needs to be fixed. I think that the Democrats can help put this nation back on its feet-although it will take some time. Let's get our country back to the prosperous, healthy nation that it once was and embrace change & experience.

So what if we have a “female” (which happens to be a Clinton) and a “male” (which happens to be black) coming together for a common cause for the people. We need CHANGE and EXPERIENCE to make a come-back for our nation. Put away your biases and stereotypes and let’s make history and let’s make the USA healthy, vibrant, and strong again!

Clinton/Obama 08
Obama/Clinton 08

Yes we will and yes we can & yes we can and yes we will!

i would consider a hillary/obama ticket, but as of right now, i would choose mccain over obama in the general election.

Obama came til her with the help of press, he knows that, Obama has a speach and clinton has 35 years experienc!!!!!!! think people. He should be happy and consider him selv a winner if cllinton gets him for vp. Come an obamas suporter , use your head, this is not american idol pls, we are woting for PRESIDENT OF USA .

After the Clinton's "smear & fear" tactics, how can Hillary even suggest that Obama would consider her as VP?

Hillary says that Ohio voters cleary stated that she should be the next president. Has she forgotten that the majority of the nation has decided that Obama should be the next president and not her. Does she think that the opinion of Ohio voters are the only ones that count. Besides that, her margin of victory in Ohio was not that fantastic and it was even smaller in Texas. Has anyone told her that she is still behind as far as delegates are concerned. And how does Bill fiqure that if Hillary wins Ohio, she will be the next President. Does the rest of the nation stay home on election day? What a pair of idiots!

You can't have it both ways, Obama supporters! 24 hours ago you wouldn't shut up about how she was finished and could NEVER win Texas and Ohio. Now that she did, and convincingly, you won't shut up about how LITTLE it meant compared to Obama's delegates.

But did you happen to notice that he lost much of his support base that had defected from Clinton? Sounds like people are starting to forget Obama's speeches, because I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT ELSE THEY'RE SUPPORTING.

I would support a Clinton/Obama ticket. Obama is a smart man, there's no denying it. And Clinton is smart to mention it, because she knows that she'll never win over Obama's core support, since they're young and/or black and won't research facts or face reality.

GET OFF THE DREAM BUS AND GET REAL. Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island certainly did.

A joint ticket would be great. I'd take it either way but I do worry about how Obama will handle the upcoming scrutiny he's finally slated for. The media is already saying how uncomfortable he is taking the hard questions. They're even saying they've been soft on him!! At least with Hillary you already know what the baggage is.
Hillary for pres. Obama VP

That would be a big mistake for Obama. There are too many people who despise Hillary. Winning in November will be all about winning the independent voters, and they will run screaming from Hillary and head toward McCain. That's just the facts.

Obama is strong enough to win the presidency on his own. Our country is ready for positive change and Obama's ready to deliver it. He is a uniter, Hillary is a divider. In terms of readiness, Obama admits he plans to work with top advisors (don't all presidents?). Hillary would never admit she needs to work with anybody, reminding us of her failed first attempt at "Hillarycare".

Let Hillary take her grumpy, stubborn politics back to Arkansas. I'd support an Obama/Clinton ticket, but only if it was Bill.

There is no way Hillary should take second chair. She will never be President if that happens. She will be old news, (and too old) in eight years to be a viable candidate. If she isn't at the top of the ticket she shouldn't accept it. Obama will likely loose the general election now that some of his bling has been tarnished. Stay the course and if she doesn't get Florida and Michigan in her corner, then wait for another four years in the Senate and try again.

Hillary is truly a Machiavelian politician. She says Barack could be her vice presidential choice, yet contends he is not qualified to be commander in chief and lacks experience to be president. Barack would be a fool to accept the vice-presidential nomination. He would be marginalized, having to support the domestic and foreign policies of the Clintons. Since 1952 the same party has won three presidency three elections in a row only once. He could hardly be the candidate of change after being a meaningless vice-president to the Clintons for eight years.

Everyone posting seems to think that Obama has won big with his states. The states he has won are less populated therefore they carry less delegates and are not crucial to the general election. What voters need to look at our big blue and purple states? These are what the party will be looking at. Hillary Clinton has now won these states that are required to win in the general election.

Face it negativity has gone both ways. So let's put our emotions aside. Politics is politics. Obama needs experience and if running as VP gets him that experience to run again in 8 years than we all benefit. This way we have 16 years in the White House.

I personally think that'd be amazing. McCain would definitely lose, Obama could finally get over the "experience" argument, and we could have 16 years of awesome presidents.

Go Clinton and Obama!

Hillary's ads against Obama weren't that bad. So what, she called his experience on national security issues into question. Anybody running against Obama especially McCain will do the same thing and probably more aggressively. Every candidate has their weakness and Obama's is in experience. I hope they run together.

Obama / Clinton is the best choice. He is a lot more stable and experiece. Although I am sick of Clintons. Just to get this over with.

I believe that either way that would be the nightmare ticket!
The only person who would consider Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton a "dream ticket" are the terrorists around the world. If you want terrorists to strike our nation,an increase in government entitlement programs like we have never seen before and follow that with income tax increases then put your "dream ticket" in the white house and let them ruin our economy and security.

Hillary would definately be the top ticket holder! Go Hillary!!!

Shame on you, Tonya Harding Clinton. I would never vote for you, ever.

Unfortunately, she needs him on her ticket … The reverse not so much!
I like many others prefer a shred of decency and honor in my president and on that Hillary fails miserably. I choose hope over fear and cerebral over genital and visceral.

The people of Ohio spoke clearly? But the people of Ohio are only one part of the democratic process. The top candidate would be chosen by who the entire nation chooses. I want to see her prove that she obeys the will of the people more than Bush does.

If Hillary is on the ticket they lose; Obama is better off without her – she's got too much baggage from the Clinton era. He'd basically be repudiating everything he has been saying about change. If Obama picks a decent running mate, I'm voting for him; if he picks Hillary I'm voting for McCain.

So Hillary throws mud, and people vote for her. Then they criticize her for throwing mud. I don't get it.

She has won like 14 states, and Obama has won around 27. He leads in POPULAR and DELEGATE counts. These two wins SHOULD have gone to her. Texas, which is mostly dominated by latino voters, and Ohio which is mostly dominated by Blue Collar.

This is going to sound very insensitive but has anyone else noticed that the people voting for Hillary tend to be not as educated as those who vote for Obama. What exactly does that say? People are voting for Hillary for her name. There is nothing else that gives her credit. She is a hollow politician going off the reputation of her husband.

It's sickening really.

A dream ticket would be Obama/ Edwards. They would compliment each other immensely. there is no way Obama would work with Hilary, she is so depserate to win the White House, it seems she would do anything. I support Obama, and I will vote for him in November. If he is not on the ticket, forget it. I would sooner vote for McCain than give my vote to a she-devil like Clinton.

I'm with the writer above who warns not to get ahead of ourselves. Hillary lost 12 in a row and won three in row last night. I counted Obama out after he didn't beat her in California and he rose to the occasion. I wouldn't write him off as VP yet…

And let us not forget, despite claims of favortism from some Clinton supporters, I think the press seems to be less favored to one candidate over another as they are to conflict and drama. I really expect them to attack whichever side will bring in the most ratings. Now that she's back on top, she's fair game again. Not sexism or favortism, just the realities of ratings. Believe it or not, there are some scandals (current, not under Bill) about Hillary floating around on other networks right now and I expect them to come to light as the race goes on.

As democrats, a dream ticket sounds great but I think we need to let the scandals and drama on both sides play out a bit before deciding the lead.

Joint ticket would mean, President Bill…….Vice President Hill (Clintons know they have unfinish business in the White House)
………when that phone rings at 3 am, its Bill's babe on the side.
How are you going to stay focus on the issues at hand and keep an eye on Bill's new babe on the side?

And to "Goon": Obama is leading by ninety something delegates. This is not, as to say, "significant."

I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I am, however, keenly interested in world affairs and a devotee of the American political system. Election nights for me — even primary election nights in other states — are Superbowls that require me to watch returns and analyses until the networks cease to report.

Something happened in Texas over the weekend that has me still in a state of disbelief. What I learned from the Clinton campaign's ads and verbal pronouncements is that, should Barack Obama become the Democratic nominee, one should cast their vote instead for John McCain because Obama is too inexperienced (John McCain brings a lifetime of experience to the White House, Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002), he is unethical (slum landlord friend Rezco) and is duplicitous (NAFTA-gate).

Interesting. Competitors within the same party generally have slapped at each other's records ("My resume is bigger than your resume") or highlighted gaffes. They realize the risks involved in destroying each other's political reputation. Apparently this year is different. Well, it is the year of change…

How does Hillary justify considering Obama as a VP when she just villified him?

What a dream it would be for our country to receive both of these brilliant politicians on the same ticket!! Hillary needs to avoid sniping at Obama, however, so that this can ultimately work. Nobody in this country is fooled or swayed by negative campaigning anymore. We don't want to see Rovian tactics employed by politicians. We want to hear what the candidates are going to do about Iraq, general foreign policy, the economy, rising prices on essential goods, education, health care, well, the list goes on. Many of us in Texas believe that a Clinton/Obama ticket would mean a big win for the Democrats and get the Current Occupant and all of his cronies out of the White House! They just need to be a little nicer to each other to make that ticket believable…..

I'm young, college educated and NOT voting for Obama. If Hillary is willing to give him (and his ego) some much needed on the job training for 8 years, that all well and good. Obama is a talking suit. If Hillary is not on the ballot, my vote DOES NOT go to Obama. Election 101 folks, winning red states and states with few electoral college votes, does not win national elections. If you want the re-claim the white house, you must vote for the person who carries the states that win elections and that folks is Hillary Clinton. So if you want McCain as your next president, vote Obama.

If you support Obama, look at it this way. If he is VP with Hillary, he could potentially be in the Whitehouse for 16 years.

Maybe but only with Obama at the top and only with a serious understanding about what that means.

That said, I think Obama can do better than Hillary at VP. There are a number of progressive women who would actually fit much better.

It is like I have said for years. Republicans are scary, and Democrats can't ever actually get anything done.

I could't agree more. Their views are similar. She is just more polished, experienced, and has a better understanding of things.

I hope they can come together and not rip the Dem party apart. He needs to understand that she is going be the nominee and get in for the experience. It just makes sense.

They will win by a landslide. If they don't unite, say hello to President McCain (egads…4 more yrs of Bush economics).

"Hey America, I'm WAY behind in delegates and there's no chance I can close the gap, but don't you think I should be president and the guy that's beating me should be my VP? Doesn't that sound awesome?"

I'd support a joint ticket, but the person who is leading the race should be Commander in Chief and the person who is trailing should consider the VP slot.

A joint ticket is the only way the Democrats can make this ugly mess (Florida, Michigan, Superdelegates) go away. It would make sense for Clinton to be on top of the ticket, as Obama is still very young and his inexperienced could and would be used against him by the Republicans. If the Dems play their cards right, they could be in power for a long time. It appears to me that Clinton, is nothing else, is an extremly hard worker and I believe she would do her utmost to keep as many of the promises she made as possible. If Obama is open minded enough and looks towards the future, not only of himslef but the party and the country, he could gain a lot of valuable experience which would help him down the road not only to win the Presidency, but also to be a very effective President. For him there really is no rush.

I have supported Clinton until a week ago. I simply detest her tactics. I will refrain from voting or vote for John McCain if she wins the nomination. Obama does not need her, John Edwards would be a better choice. No candidate should align themselves with the Clintons.

The moment has come for everybody to start thinking wisely now especially, the Democrats. America voters have clearly indicated their frustration over the way this administration and other administration have conducted business and they want some changes. Democrats stands a good chance to win the General election but the reason why they can't settle with a nominee is because of the uncertainty between Clinton and Obama.

Clinton clearly comes across as a candicate, who has the most experience to handle the criple economy, messy foreign policy and most importantly, bring back the good image our country has enjoyed for so long as the world leader.

Obama on the other hand, has clearly energized the youth for their voices to be heard in this campaign, re-candled the hope people lost for our elected officials and most importantly, has touched people's heart.

The combination of these is what the country needs right now. Personally, both candidates will be good for the country but I now prefer Clinton to be the pres. and Obama as the vice, due to the country's situation. The country doesn't need any litmus test; we tried it with George Bush and see where we are now. Obama needs some exposure and experience, and there is no doubt that he will easily win the presidency after 8 yrs. Meanwhile, I will urge Clinton not to be so pompous and involve him in every decision making to ensure smooth transition of power after the 8 yrs.

Wisdom will always win the day. Time is up for mere rhetorics. Time has now come for action and here is a chance for Obama to get some real experience he would need in 8 years time. Study the master and be willing to follow before you can lead. Many people will respect that kind of humility. Hillary now, Obama later. Go Hillary/Obama.

If Clinton and Obama could work out the logisitics of a "dream ticket", I think that the democrats would definitely be the next party in the White House. How exciting would it be to have the first woman president and the first black vice president there at the same time. It would also give Obama the experience that many seem to feel he lacks this time around. He could enter the next election in a much stronger position.

To "Greg, NY": HRC made that statement because no candidate in recent history has recieved a presidential nomination without winning Ohio. Also, your own state endorsed Clinton…

Has anyone considered a scenario that has happened in the past: At the convention, neither candidate gets enough delegates and it goes to the second vote. Many of those delegates are only pledged for the first vote, and the second vote could be very different, allowing one candidate to surge ahead to the required number. This would not require super delegates! Please advise, Wolf!!!

The people of this country have spoken… a share ticket… no way how you do the math neither will have the delegates. This is not about Obama or Hillary is about America and America has spoken LOUDLY. WE want this two individuals running together and making history together. They complement each other and can not win without each other. I call on everyone to write or call the Obama camp and the Hillary Camp. Because Hillary can deliver the big important states she should be at the top of the ticket and Obama as her running mate and in 8 years he can run on his experience. Is a Win/Win for everyone.

8 years of Bill Clinton's in the white house was the most prosperous years of America. Economy was booming, balanced budget & he left a surplus but after Bush took over , he turned it into a big deficit. I don't have to detail what George W Bush has done to our country. We need a candidate like Clinton to fix all the problems Bush created. It's proven that she's a tougher leader than Obama. Despite all the big supporters of Obama plus the media who always favor him, Hillary never loses confidence in herself. She believes in herself that she's the most qualified commander in chief among the candidates. I admire her strength & determination that i don't see in Obama's speech.

In your dreams Hillary!!! Obama would never ask you to be his VP. If you manage to steal this nomination from him, your only ticket to the White House would have to have him on it. Otherwise you wouldn't stand a chance. Remember he has won 14 out of the last 17!! I don't care how the media spins it.

With Hillary Clinton on any ticket the last thing it would be called is a dream team. If Obama would consider adding her to his ticket as vice president then he isn't as smart as I thought he was.

1st choice: Clinton/Obama
2nd choice: Obama/Clinton

As an Obama supporter we don't need or want Hillary, I will not vote for her at all ever. We do not like Hillary at all don't you people get it. There is no room for her in our gov't. Period. Obama will win. Hillary needs to fade out and go away. Obama/Edwards 08′ Say no to negitive Hillary now.

Hillary is a political animal indeed. And just that. She doesn't care about you, and never has. In NH, she wept not for the country but for herself.

I am so excited for this presidential election. I truly believe that with either of the democratic candidates, this great nation can finally come together and look towards an incredible and promising future. The people of the United States are finally beginning to show that they can overlook race and gender…I cannot wait to cast my vote in the upcoming election and I will be encouraging my fellow students to do so as well. I contemplated the possibility of a a joint ticket but I have my doubts that Clinton wishes to united the Democratic party; I think she has too much provide to share the White House. If she can come together and look for what is best for America and not for herself, a joint ticket is a viable possibility. OBAMA 08′!

Does no one take Ron Paul seriously anymore? He's a true revolutionary…!!!

Clinton is calling People's Mandate.

Bush's all-but-illegal Texas redistricting may reward her very slim margin in the total popular and resounding thud in major population centers with a semi-win in delegates. The caucuses, so far, show the Obama motivation to be stronger.

Tellingly, her (big) wins in the margins of Ohio, not the city centers from which Ohio is governed, give her the authority to speak to American public opinion?

I'm wary of all mandate talk, especially after watching smear politics overtake rational calm and unprecedented (since 1968) hope– again. Toughen up? Fight? Sorry, I'm coming off of 7 years of tough guy talk and I don't like where it threw us.

I won't call Obama a political saint but I think Clinton's clear rhetorical defensive against Obama's momentum speaks volumes. Almost every minor success of STATEMENT (no one is doing anything yet– it's ALL words!) she has spun has been in the direct context of Obama's campaign statements.

If I were Obama, I'd want Hillary and perhaps Bill Clinton in my cabinet and I'd actively draw them close to the seat of power.

Clinton just wants Barack Obama on her ticket.

TO: IONA

SHAME ON YOU TO TRY TO BLAST MICHELLE OBAMA WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN QUOTE HER ACCURATELY!!!!!

YOU'RE SPREADING ROOMERS…SHE DID NOT SAY AS YOU PUT IT,…..
"Though Michelle Obama was crticized for her statement 'that I can finally be proud of my country'"

YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT ….SHE DID NOT SAY THAT ….WHAT SHE SAID WAS

"this is the first time in my adult life that I am REALLY proud of my country"

GET IT RIGHT OR DON'T MENTION IT AT ALL!!!

ADVERBS DO MATTER, LEARN HOW TO USE THEM!!!

Of course she would hint at it. She wants to gain votes off of Obama's popularity.

This is just gross. What political low-life tactics.

After all the negative campaign Madam Hillary? Obama will be stupid to accept such offer. He will make a better president than ten of you put together. I am quite optimistic he will finally clinch the ticket and put to rest all the insults coming from your clinton campaign
Obama 08!!!!!!!!!! Yes we can

Let the infighting begin. I would never vote for a Clinton, but I did last night in Texas. hahahah……. The Democratic party is going to destroy itself and Hilary is lighting the match.

As Rush Limbaugh said go vote for Hillary, Quote "RUSH: No, the strategy is… Yes. The strategy is to continue the chaos in this party. Look, there's a reason for this. Our side isn't going to do this. Obama needs to be bloodied up. Look, half the country already hates Hillary. That's good. But nobody hates Obama yet. Hillary is going to be the one to have to bloody him up politically because our side isn't going to do it. Mark my words. It's about winning, folks!"

Hillary President and Obama Vice President . That is such a perfect Senario.

I think I am going to be ill.

She should be on top of the ticket because she won Ohio!!!!!! Half the country through the popular vote has stated who they want. In fact, twelve states in a row. So does that mean the rest of our votes are not as important as Ohio and Texas. She is still losing. This is unbelievable. Every public statement or movement that is made by the Clinton campaign is completely calculated. She is like Ben from "Lost" with this manipulation of voters. I am so sick of it. I am going to throw up. Hilary please, please go away.

Hilary has truly stooped to a new low. I can not believe how low her and her camp has tried to go. Congrats, TX, OH and RI for taking the bait. You have proven to be the biggest states of confusion and you have given the Republican party the uperhand. Barack will win the nomination and the backing stabbing, liar can be a VP. If that!!!! Hilary and well as those people in TX, OH, and RI disgust me!!!

Obama' 08

Hillary is a political animal indeed. And just that. She doesn't care about you, and never has. In NH, she wept not for the country but for herself.

At the this point I don't see Clinton or Obama winning without the other…

The ONLY way that would work would be for HER to be POTUS and him to be VPOTUS. He is NOT experienced enough, that showed very clearly with the Canadian issue. 'Rookie mistakes' as most pundants put it Tues evening. Can you imagine if it were Obama as Pres and at every turn she would have to 'SCHOOL' him on almost everything. That would not be good for the nation, not at all.

Think about it, Mr. Obama, NOW is the time for you to reach out to Hillary Clinton and conceed that you are less experienced, and the weeker candidate (fewer major Democratic states won). If you want to be on the ticket at all, you shouldn't let this go any further. Unite the party this way, you have NO CHANCE against John McCain. Think about it!

That 3 am phone call ad is a joke. What would Hillary do? Wake up Bill and ask him what to do, that's what!

If her name was Hillary Jones or Hillary Smith, she would be a two-bit lawyer at some firm somewhere, and nothing more.

Obama/Richardson would be a solid ticket, with Edwards as Attorney General.

Yes – I am sooooo tired of the bickering. Get on the same ticket already. Can't they both see Democrats are pretty much torn? I like the 16 years of dems with Hillary as Pres first…and then Obama. I think that at some point though…one of them has to take an ego chill pill and unify the party by taking the co-pilot seat.

I'm tired of seeing Obama; he makes me sick. GO HILLARY.

I HOPE (no pun intended) she forgets about Barack! She don't need him.
GO HILLARY!!!

to all u clinton supporter obama will never choose clinton she disgust me so do all of u and remember obama is still leading by delegate. i will not vote ofr a obama/ clinton ticket.

So, if every one of the people writing here can't stand HRC, what's gonna happen if she somehow gets the nomination? Are you gonna vote for McCain and his plastic Barbie-doll wife, who stares adoringly at her man? A man who will continue Duh-bya's policies? Or will you vote for the Democratic candidate? A lot of Republican's will hold their nose and vote for McCain. What about you Dems?

This would be a nightmare ticket. I'm all for Obama, but if Clinton were on the ticket (in either spot) I'm voting Republican! And I know plenty of others who say the same thing.

I'll have to think about this "dream ticket". I'm a cross-over Republican who supports Obama. I see the most "CHANGE" coming from him on top of the ticket. I may cross right back to McCain if Hiliary is at the top.

No Clinton/Obama – we want complete change. Obama / + Fresh Change.

H. Clinton's ego is so big that there is no way she would consider being VP. Nor do I think Obama would make that choice after all her misinformation and distortion of Obama's view and solutions. She acts as thought being the former 1st lady as if this counts as part of her decision making experience. Can you imagine, if she behaves this now – how she will act internationally when other leaders disagree with her. What is she going to do cry or yell or make up a new distortion. She does not know how to achieve a win-win situation. Everything has to be a fight! Frankly, I had enough of this approach during the last seven years. Instead of Bush and Cheny – now it will be Hillary and Bill in the back ground.

John: If that is the way you feel then you must not be a "yellow dog" Democrat because a YDD would rather vote for a yellow dog than a Republican.

CNN … who is this Jamal Simmons guy that you have on the air? He is supposed to be a political strategist? He whined so much about Obama being mistreated that I turned the channel. He brings nothing to the table. YOU NEED RELEVANT COMMENTARY ON ELECTION NIGHT!

Tiss, tiss Obama followers. Don't be bad sports. Think of what is best for your country, not for your egos. At the end of the day, this attitude is about ego. Hillary Clinton as well as Barack Obama will be dedicated public servants that will work for the US and, hopefully, world stability nobody should doubt that, it would be an insult to your own intelligence and a bad reflection on American Democrats/voters.

I can't envision ever voting for Hillary Clinton.

I'm an Independent. I really would love to see the non-establishment Barack Obama in the White House. I've refrained from voting for the last several elections because the Clintons triggered the dirtiest era in politics, and her campaign has exibited these abhorrent tendencies in full.

As much as I support Obama, I could never support a Clinton presidency.

I would never vote for a pro-lifer like McCain either, though, so maybe it's a good thing Nader is in this election after all.

A Clinton/Obama ticket is the only one that makes sense now. Of course if you hate Hillary so much, your probable actually a republican anyway. Bill Clinton left office with an approval rating of over 65%. Hillary has never been implicated in any wrong doing, only right wing innuendoes that have been repeated so many times that the younger crowd actually believes them. A Clinton/Obama ticket is a winner for the next 16 years at least. .

As far as this race has become about race (hispanics against blacks), the Clintons have to ask themselves just how far they are willing to go. Blacks have nothing really to lose as fas as the democrat(ic?) party is concerned. Pawns we have always been, and it appears pawns we will always be as long as we remain in this political party. So to the hispanics in that regard we say welcome. To the Clintons we say you made your bed. You choose to play one group against the other. If there is no compromise there can be no reconciliation at the conclusion of this process. Like Baracks grandmother said the "dirty tricks" are lies are wrong and should not be tolerated. As the hispanics say "no mas", that may very well be the end of things if this mess has no satisfactory conclusion. Obama offered an end to that type of politics but too many refuse to except the needed change to move this country forward. The dream may become a nightmare at the expense of the democratic party. Now if we can find an Obama like republican things would really be great.

there is no way she would accept a VP position, and there is no way, after all her mud slinging, that he would either.

I'm voting for a Mccain/Powell ticket.

I'm fine with the prospect but I'm afraid that the Obama people's heads are so inflated that they will have a hard time accepting these big state wins as confirmation that she is the one for the job.

I actually like Hillary and think she made a wonderful first lady and I'm sure she makes a wonderful Senator for NY, but I will never vote for her in any circumstance. Why? Because she is too devisive and that's the last thing this country needs right now.

Seriously, I don't care if Hillary is on the top of the ticket or the bottom of the ticket … if she is on there at all I either won't vote at all or vote for McCain.

We have been brainwashed by so many years of negativity and nasty ploys dictating the tone of our politics that when faced with these tactics, our conditioned reactions respond accordingly. I cannot in good conscience feel good about a campaign when backed against the wall has to go negative to win. i have been watching the democrats' political campaign with my two children and cannot justify to them the example being set by Hillary Clinton that in order to win against your competition, one must engage in negative and divisive strategies. When are these politicians going to realize that they as adults are setting the example for our children in how to conduct themselves when trying to achieve their goals. I am very saddened by this and would like to tell my children that the American political process is evolving towards a more mature and positive path but unfortunately, the candidates themselves are acting in stark contrast to that.

Do the math ; there is no way she can catch Obama in pledged delegates before the Convention ; is the party ready to run its second choice and disenfranchise primary voters ? I don't think so – and I don't think the party chairman does either.

Having Obama at the top of this ticket is the only sceniario where I can see casting my ballot for a ticket with Clinton's name on it. Her campaign has been too bitter and nasty for me to retian much respect for you.

For the record, Hillary gained a slight edge in the popular vote in Texas, but she didn't win the state the way she needed too…and considering that she led here by 20% just three weeks ago means that in a lot of ways Obama won and gained a lot of delegates that he wasn't going to get. Obama also won by huge margins the major population centers and delegate rich areas like Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and Austin-San Marcos (which had a ton of delegates). This is being spun as a huge win for Hillary by the media but ultimately the delegate count will show Obama gaining more delegates in Texas. Hillary chose to campaign mostly in areas with fewer delegates and alininate some delegate-rich larger cities and progressive liberal areas of the state such as Travis and Hays counties…which each had large delegate counts for their size.

Obama is not going to be her VP. Hill folks please leave the drugs alone. Howard Dean will tell Hillary "Look Here you old bag, you are the VP or you are out". She is Obama's number 2…..yeah number 2

I will NEVER vote for Obama !

Hillary can do better!

Per Erin "After the negative ads against him, how could she even consider that he would accept her offer. She hasn't won yet. In fact, her tactics have pretty much played right into the Republican strategy. Why to go Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island – you just gave McCain a huge boost. She cannot beat him and she has so much scandal in her past that they will have a field day if she is the nominee. I am so ashamed to be a Democrat today."

Good thing the "scandal" is in her past. Old stuff that we all know about and has not hindered her progress so far. For Obama, we don't know what scandal will crop up. The devil you know is better than the saint you don't know.

BTW, her husband was the scandalous one, not her.

Now that might just be as silly as you can get – but don't put anything past the Democrats… there are some huge EGOS here, and whoever got the VP position would have to swallow a lot of pride.

Additionally, Senator Clinton has consistently, quite accurately, portrayed Senator Obama as being very short and lacking in the area of experience. With the VP position being a mere heartbeat away from the position of president, should something happen to the president, I just don't know how you can reconcile that.

Senator Clinton would simply NEVER accept a VP position, primarily because of all her experience and service, so I think anyone thinking that scenario is really deeply on the Kool Aid.

And who knows? What with politics being what it is: honest, above board, no corruption, no back room or party deals, etc., this just might be what was scheduled all along…

Come on. Barack Obama has been slinging plenty of mud. Mostly that Clinton is slinging mud, putting out pictures of Obama in a dress, etc. Barack also gets special treatment by the press. I bet if he was not running for president the ethics committee would be looking into his friend who helped him buy his house. That has not been covered by the press — it seems like it's being treated in a similar way to Bush's military record. In fact Barack Obama has plenty in common with the B-word. No experience. Just promises.

I think unfortunately that his campaign has slid into a typically black posture of 'I'm being discriminated against.'

HILLARY & OBAMA
2008

THE BEST FOR AMERICA
THE BEST TO FIX THE AMERICAN ECONOMIC DITCH

the clintons have too much blood on their hands to be back in office. didnt they have enough people randomly "suicided" their first time in office? How many murders have been attributed to their first two terms?

i would never vote for a democrat, but at least obama hasnt been around long enough to have gotten into as much dirt as the clintons.

THE "FREE PRESS" HELPED TREMENDOUSLY IN PUTTING SEN. CLINTON OVER THE TOP. THE BLATENTLY OBVIOIUS BIAS OF THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSIDLY REPORTING THE NEWS OF THE DAY , JUST TOO OVERT, UGLY AND UN-DEMOCRATIC.
THANK GOD THAT THIS TREASONOUS ADMINISTRATION HAS NOT, AS YET, TOTALLY SHREDDED THE CONSTITUTION.
OUR DEMOCRACY, PEACE, PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS WILL BE RESTORED WITH THE ELECTION OF SEN. HILLARY CLINTON

In response to YOU NEED TO KNOW,
Obama's campaign has run a negative campaign against Hillary. Attacking and distorting her health care plans and bringing up NAFTA in a negative light and the never ending revist to the vote on the Iraq war (one he didn't have to vote on). The the candidates need to draw differences between one another because they have so much in common. I think these differences will also show that only one of them is qualified enough to make it to the white house.

To quote Bill Clinton, the coverage of this campaign has been the biggest "fairy tale" I have ever seen. Where is the emphasis on the fact that Barack Obama has won:
1. The most states
2. The most pledged delegates
3. And the POPULAR VOTE IN FAIRLY CONTESTED STATES

I knew before that the media was absolutely ridiculous and not offering fair and balanced coverage of the hill the Clintons must climb to earn the nomination. But then to see this crap about her picking him as her vice president is absolutely absurd.

The Clintons lost at least 10% of their support throughout the last two weeks in Texas and Ohio and if we give Barack the opportunity from June after the Puerto Rico primary until November, he will have no trouble continuing to convert those Clinton supporters towards his side and translating them into close contests and potential victories in the fall.

For all of you Hillary supporters out there, how about you consider being the vice presidential candidate on the ticket that is currently WINNING???

The disappointment in their faces and commentary was glaring — Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews of MSNBC, Tim Russert and Brian Williams of NBC, Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer of CNN. Now, I can't wait to hear what Jack Cafferty has to say and how he'll look while saying it. These are purported "journalists" who are supposed to report the news, except that in the past 3 months, all they've done is put down Hillary Clinton. Well, too bad, too sad…. their darling boy Obama lost the most important bellwether state, the battleground for democracy, and the final arbiter for who goes to the White House — OHIO. Any more predictions out there, boys?

Sen. Obama still has some questions to answer. This house purchase with Rezko is troulbling. If you do the math its fuzzy at best and looks like Barak might have gotten a payment through this deal. To be continued……….

I think I am going to throw up.

Oh. Yesterday she was "just warming up". Now she's willing to be part of a "dream ticket"….

Dems will lose a lot of voters if they try that bit.

The Clintons should leave. Period!

What i am tired of is hearing people say there tired of the clintons. Why? If i remember the last time a clinton was in presidency i remember Bill Clinton doing a far better job than any of the Bush's. I am voting on who can run our country better and right now that is CLINTON. People who cant stand Hillary clinton have really no educated answers as to why they dislike her. A woman president is going to change our country far more than any male president regardless of race, Women tend to make better Descisions. GO HILLARY!!!!

Obama and a republican Tre?
Is that what he is cooking? Well I know now who not to vote for.

Of course she would say that. It sounds so lovely and ideal…as long as she's the one next to the punch box for President. I honestly believe that if she were to lose the Presidential nomination, she would refuse to deign herself to the VP checkbox. Note that she said “But of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me." She won't have it any other way, or she will refuse to work with it. The diva.

I just read through the comments of the Obamazombies. This is why I wont vote for any ticket that includes Obama, I dont want to have to listen to his psychotic supporters for 4 years. Go join a cult, drink the kool-aide and disappear. You give America a bad name. Worse than G.W. Bush!!

Clinton/Obama would be a dream ticket.

Obama/Clinton? I'd have to sleep on it

I hope that Obama comes out fighting, she has done so much dirt during her so call experience in the white house. Sheshould not win but apparetly you all want the same old rap from the clintons. maybethis time she will steal the laptops and computers. also she will get four more years to hide her tax returns and meanwhile make sure she gets a piece of the stimulus package. really do hope obama comes out swinging. OBAMA 08

If the Democrats are smart and they want the best chance to win the general election, they will make the Dream Ticket happen, no matter who is on the top…

ENOUGH MUDSLINGING! TIME TO UNIFY THE PARTY!

If Hillary STEALS the nomination by overturning the will of the pledged delegates, I will leave the Democratic party and officially become an "independent".

Also, I will vote for McCain in November.

I am disgusted with the Clintons.

Time for Barack to start questioning how her husband's experience became hers by default. Let's start talking about exactly WHERE that '35 years of experience' comes from.

"I don't think so. I'm getting tired of seeing the Clintons. They make me sick"

LOL Republican aren't ya?

Some dreams are called nightmares, aren't they?

They make me sick too, but Obama needs to be on this ticket one way or another. He is not only an amazing talent but also a genuinely decent person. At this moment, he is the only one left who can truly reunite this country.

Icky Icky Icky

She's a fighter alright…but not a fair fighter…I don't want her anywhere near the white house…again…ever…NEVER

She played to the underlying fears of human nature. Maybe it's best to get the negatives out of the way in the primary season. But now how does the democrats put humpty dumpty back together.
Joint ticket. Maybe as Obama as VP but never Hillary as VP.
It looks like a train wreck heading off the cliff with a new electorate on board and engineer is Hillary the Solutions candidate driving the train.

I'm a Hillary supporter but I would be very disappointed if she chose Obama in the #2 spot. She has emphasized time and again how much experience he lacks, so why should she choose him just to garner the 'fan base'? She can get someone else so much more qualified.

In either configuration — Clinton/Obama, Obama/Clinton — the ticket would win. I hope an agreement can be struck.

CNN NEEDS TO COVER WHY HILLARY WILL NOT RELEASE HER TAXES BEFORE WE EVEN THINK ABOUT THE DEM. TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAIT MAYBE SNL WILL TO A SKIT ON HILLARY'S TAXES AND THEN THE MSM WILL COVER IT!

The the person who said hillary/obama would draw the youth. I can guarantee you the youth wont participate in any form of joint presidential marriage.

To answer Dick's question as a Democratic voter who lives in NJ (a potential swing state) and a Hillary supporter….Yes, I would not vote for the young and dynamic Obama. I would vote for John McCain.

And I hate to break the news to you, there are alot of others out there like me who could give a state like NJ over to John McCain, so please stop thinking that the longer this goes on, the more she is taking this away from the "second coming" and let the DEMOCRATIC process play out. What's the rush…there isn't much on TV now anyway.

This would be a nightmare for GoP. Of course, one of them would have to swallow their pride and be the V.P., but there are numerous upsides to this ticket. You would have 2 political machines united under one cause, which would be to reverse the damage Bush has done to our nation as a whole. Whoever ends up being V.P., would gain valuable experience and the full backing of the party when it was their chance to run for President.

Interesting.Experience+Judgement go together plus democrats can control the WH for the next 16 or 20 years.

The way I see it…a good portion of 'near-conservative" thinking people took a second look at Obama and his clearly socialist leanings.

A combined ticket probably would be of advantage to both candidates–and would be history making in it's own right.

I think the democrats fighting among themselves will cause them to loose the White House this fall. It is clear the Clintons will destroy the party before they loose.

This woman is seriously delusional. Why does the Press let her get away with such Nonsense talk. She just now won 3 states after losing 12 to Obama and she has the audacity to pressume that Ohio decided that she should be on top of the ticket. She actually thinks this is her birthright. She constantly belittes all those hopeful young people as if they don't know what they are doing and nobody calls her out -if you don't have hope – you have nothing, hope is what makes you want to continue pushing in hard times, hope is what gets you up in the morning for your daily routine and my gosh if there' s somebody out that can give hope to us particularly to the young, then good for all of us. With hope, we are just encourage to do better for ourselves and our country. She constantly plays the gender card, press is not my side card and you people buy into it. She needs to just go away already. Please let me know when Obama has this wrapped up, then I'll start watching again.

That dream ticket ship has sailed. Does she really think that is a possibility at this point? Maybe she should have thought about that before she decided to endorse McCain.

HILLARY%OBAMA

THE TEAM OF THE CENTURY

"IN AMERICA WE CREATE HISTORY"
JHON MC CAIN

Hillary has finely shown her true colors. She found a way to use the fear tactic while displaying her ture devisive nature to turn off African American voters who will be poised to stay home or vote McCain in the up-coming gerneral election.

What you say maybe true…………but somehow those Florida and Michigan votes will gets counted, and if this ever gets to the floor in Denver, theres no way Obama wins.

This is not the dream ticket….Clinton is not a viable national candidate. The Republicans will rally hard against her….

Barack will pick a strong running mate.

There's no way she can cut into his delegate lead, so he will come out of this in June with more pledged delegates. Thus, superdelegates would have to overturn the election results for her to win the nomination. If this happened, the Democratic party will be irreparably divided, and McCain will landslide. These electability arguments coming out of the Clinton camp overlook this reality. From here on out, her efforts damage the party and our chances to win in November. I see no cogent arguments to the contrary.

Yes, Clinton 2008!

Obama is not ready yet!

Too bad the nomination system doesn't reflect the electoral college system. According to my calculations, Clinton would have 272 to Obama's 180, which would put Clinton above the 271 mark for the nomination.

I did the math, and the net amount of delegates that Hill picked up today was very little, if anything (18-20 max: probably far less if caucus split 55/45 for obama). The math just doesn't add up to any realistic situation where she can win. Sound's like she might be trying to strong-arm Obama into a place where she can force herself VP, or perhaps create a brokered convention where she can convince the DNC to make her the head of the ticket, regardless of the will of the people.

I think a joint ticket would be great. We would have experience and
new ideas for change in washington.Mrs Clinton first.

She's playing games again. Does anyone not realize how many Democrats (including myself) are going to vote independent if she gets the nomination?

NO WAY IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!

If she wins the nomination, she will need him on her ticket to win. If he wins the nomination, having her on his ticket would hurt him in the general election. She is too polarizing!

I too would strongly support a "dream" ticket of both Clinton and Obama, regardless of who is heading that ticket. It would truly unite the Democratic party and yield gains with independent voters.

Given all the venomous attacks by the Clinton campaign of late, I find it commendable that Obama has only responded with respect and dignity. This is exactly the type of diplomacy so needed in the world today. If Clinton, with a lower delegate count, somehow underhandedly whines her way into the nomination, I do not think I could bring myself to vote for her in November. I will abstain.

Obama is still in the lead…… the numbers don't lie.

If there is to be a joint ticket with both sens. clinton & Obama, there will need to be some clarification on who will lead the ticket. On one hand we have Hillary. She promises to be strong on national security
issues, cut back on NAFTA, and bring jobs to the people. Sen Obama
promises to do the same. Hillary speaks of the person with more
experience like she has a load of it. She was wife to a govenor and
a president. She ran in a state in which the democratic base was strong. Prior to that she was the cleaner of bill clintons failures. Does that constitute "experience"? I don't think so. As a veteran of the armed forces, I think we will need a commander-in-chief whom will not be lead by their emotions and think with a level head. I honestly think that sen Obama wil not only lead us into a brighter future, but take some of the sting out the some of the past issues that have affected this country. Such as poverty, racism, outsourcing, and equal
rights for all people. Women won their rights a whole lot longer before
we won the right to vote. In which was voted on aproximately 2 years ago to keep those rights. I believe this country is due for this change
for our people, our rights, and our freedoms.

I would love to see a Clinton/Obama ticket. I think they should run a joint ticket, both are candidates are creating the kind of momentum we need to bring change to the white house. I don't think as many of the Democrats will stand behind Obama without Clinton's experience; many votes could stray the once more liberal McCain. Obama's voted present too many times and hasn't held any committee meetings for which he is the chair head, He is going to look weak on making decisions and national security. McCain will not.

Hillary Clition needs to go away. Before I vote for any ticket that endroses Hillary, I will vote for John McCain. I don't trust her and don't want to see her as president or vice president.

hillary would have to top the ticket; it would be an insult to her otherwise.

but, if she was the vp nominee, then i would vote for an Obama/Clinton ticket over McCain. Otherwise, if Obama is the nominee and Clinton isn't his VP, then I'm jumping the party fence in November.

…and this is why American politics makes me sick. Clinton is losing badly so she goes the only route she knows, negative mud slinging attacks. Obama tries to keep the campaign positive but people apparently want to see a bloodbath. Just like reality shows, we complain how ridiculous they are and then sit down and watch some more.

Clinton has too big of an ego to run as VP with Obama and even if Obama says he'll be VP for her (which he has stated he won't) I would note vote for Clinton. For the first time in a long time this country started our primary season with a positive debate on moving forward and I was excited. Now the ugliness of our well known political system has reared it's head and drug this down into the mud and I am disgusted as in the past.

Too bad, I was actually looking forward to voting this year but the longer this goes on the less interested I am in bothering. I mean why bother voting for the same as we've had for years, sigh….

ugh. what a sad day.

if obama lose i will not vote for hillary i will stay away for the polls in the general election

I CAN NOT STAND HER! She pulls every stunt to get what she wants without regard to morals, integrity, and honor. She makes me sick to be a woman. Of course she would state that she would like a DREAM ticket because that would guarantee a place for her in the white house no matter what the outcome. I can NOT see her ok as a VP so she needs to stop the BS.

Obama will be nominated and choose an honorable, trustworthy, and reliable running mate. She and Bill need to go home a roll around in all the money they have made with China and all the other under the radar deals.

She was sulking and tight faced and crying when she lost but now all the sudden she is gleeming and in your face … happy to talk possibilities which I place in the same category as hope…hoping for a victory and to ride a coat tail into the white house. I THOUGHT SHE MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT SHE DID NOT BELIEVE IN "HOPE."

you sure a glory seeker ,just like the one that made me a Vet with out the country I service.To me this Election is joke with the same old lies of Bill's & you with just a twist of Ike in it. More hurt for the one's that service and the children that will have to live with it and you will have gotten rule over the people that were one's free

Well said, Dick.

I believe tht having the Republicans with their candidate while the Democrats continue to hold Primaries is good for Clinton and Obama and the Democrats. This is a window of opportunity for Clinton/Obama to show how well they can team up!

Once a Demo candidate is chosen the fight will be on with McCain but until then it will be only how McCain/Bush are a t"eam ".
While Democrats know the opposition The Republicans have to have 2 plans and nothing otherwise to rivet watchers!

Hillary you are so disrespectful to the other states you lost.

As strong a candidate as Hillary is, there's no doubt she polarizes the electorate outside of the Democratic faithful. Why would Obama allude to putting her on the ticket when he's still having to fend her off and show why he's a better choice for the top of the ticket than someone who the Republicans Love to Hate and will do pretty much anything to torpedo?

March 5, 2008

My Dear Candidates;

I am a 57 year old American. I love this country and all that it is supposed to stand for. I am retired and have two children and 4 grandchildren. My father died for this country after receiving two Purple Hearts. My brother did all the things the era asked of him and is now living in a tent. My sister died last year at the age of 58 because of poor health care, as did my mother at the age of 68.

As life as gone I have faired the best in my family as far as education and obtaining the American dream. But I tell you now, that I am more afraid for this country than either of my parents ever were, and they went through the Depression and World War II.

Please show us there is hope. Please help us save this country. Don’t let this great opportunity evaporate. I don’t want to see my grandchildren living through the last days of a dying country…like Rome, or England, or Greece.

If you truly care about this land and its people, more than your personal careers, the two of you should be able to find a way to come up with a joint ticket. Sixteen years of a Democratic White House could save us. Don’t fail at this chance to prove yourselves and keep my grandchildren from drowning is a sea of debt, poor education, and no healthcare.

I beg you, please.

Daryl Jeanne Marie

Just wait and see how the superdelegates choose. I wish Edwards could come out today and endorse Hillary. This is the best timing for him to come out.

absolutely not. Obama is the future. no Clintons needed.

You show the White,Latinos, Men ,Women voters for Clinton vs Obama.

Why don't you show the Black vote also??

I would support this, providing that Clinton is the VP. But I dont think Obama would allow her to be VP as it would hurt this cause for wanting to change politics.

This seemingly looks like the only option to get out of a deadlock within the democratic party.

Richardson has to fit in there somewhere too though.

Question; What percentage of senator clintons wins in Ohio and Texas were registered Republican voters??????????

Pathetic. Now Hillary Clinton wants to circumvent the voting process and declare herself Queen of the Democrats. Hate to break it to you Hillary, but the decision on who is President is up to the voters. Right now, Obama is in the lead for the number of delegates and will be the nominee. At that point in time, he gets to pick his VP candidate and you offer nothing except negative attacks and the politics of sleaze.

Dream Ticket…lets be honest with what you are saying. Please make Obama my VP candidate because I can't beat him and I know I will lose the election.

In the end, Hillary is attempting to split the party, the country, all in her quest for absolute power. God help this nation if she steals the nomination.

I agree! Clinton/Obama

Screw the dream ticket.

How about a new party? not a third party – winner take all only permits two viable parties. Start with the folks from both parties – those who attended the Bloomberg event.

Obama / Hagel sounds pretty powerful.

I thought the red states don't matter?

Ohio – Voted Republican in 2004.

Texas – As red as it gets.

Hillary is Right. The only way for the Democrats to reclaim the White House is thru a Joint Ticket and she should be the one going against McCain.

She has proven that she is the one that can win in the big states and also the most important swing states like Florida and Ohio. Not only that, she also has the Latino votes.

If only Barack Obama could wait and served as A VP first, I think he will be unbeatable after that.

Now if he insist his arrogance and goes alone, No way he can win the GE.

Please, Hillary, your personal ambitions are destroying the democratic party! We can't win if we go to a brokered convention, McCain will have had months to unite his party!

If she really cared about the well-being of this country, she would acknowledge that the candidate who has won more STATES, more VOTES, and more DELEGATES after all these contests should be the nominee! That is Barack Obama.

I really don't think a man of character like Barack Obama would ever agree to go on a ticket with a woman who has called him an empty suit and a liar.

The Clintons make a lot of us disgusted with their ways. They not only threw the kitchen-sink at their Democratic competitor but they also threw the toilet-seat at him.

She endorced Mr. McCain over Mr. Obama. And now, she is saying, a joint ticket. Where is this woman's head?

Bravo For Hillary Clinton. No matter how much hype from The Media, it looks like Hillary is doing great. Maybe that little controversy in Canada opened some eyes.

She will get the economy back in line, end the war in Iraq, get a decent Health Plan together, which we sorely need. Again, I say, hooray for Hillary…keep forging ahead…to the White House.

I would vote for Clinton/Obama but not vice versa. He is not qualified. In fact, I have a hard time with him even on the ticket at all. Hillary is the best candidate for President of all 3 right now, but if she opts for an Obama/Clinton ticket I will vote for McCain.

She's only saying this to sway Obama people to her side. It's just another way she is trying to spin things her way.

Hillary is so arrogant! She won only 3 states in one month compared to Obama's 12, she has fewer delegates, and she wants Obama to submit to her? Wait until Obama gets his lead back to what it was after Wyoming and Mississippi.

The dream ticket that Hillary is talking about is the only way the democrats can win in November. Hillary and Barack need each other to win. I also think Hillary needs to be at the top of the ticket. She has the leadership qualities that are needed to help turn this country around. Barack needs time to learn and we can not have another president who requires on-the-job training.

This woman really makes me ill. Her, and all the people who voted for her. I can't understand how anybody who spends 10 minutes reading her history (IF they didn't already live through it) can vote for her. Her history is just scandal after scandal.

I am in PA, and she is NOT getting my vote. I am also a computer professional who has lost his job to outsourcing, which she and Bill Clinton are HUGE proponents of. I will never forgive him for expanding H1, and her for the TATA deal.

CNN, Shame on you! You already block the comments from people who support Hillary!

You are a loser!

Obama has to kill that idea IMMEDIATELY or people will vote for Hillary thinking they'll get Obama too.

Go Hillary!!!!

After several years of being told to be scared, we have a chance for change. Of something different. And what does Hillary do? She plays the fear card. Democrats should know better than that. Real leaders do know better than that. We've not had a real leader for almost 8 years. Will not have one for another 4 if she gets the nod.

I say let 'em flip a coin.

Great Idea! It doesnt matter who is on top of the ticket. I think Hillary wins the nomination, she will definately need Obama to help her win the bid for the White House. She needs Obama more than Obama needs her. I think Obama would do just as well with Edwards as his running mate.

You go Hillary! If Obama is smart he will take the #2 spot to get experience. What a great plan that would be.

I hope not. While I am an Obama supporter, after Clinton's dirty tactics, I cannot, will not, mark any ballot with her name on it.

I could vote for the combo.

My vote would never go to Hillary Clinton no matter who she puts on a ticket for which she is the nominee. This woman continues to smear Obama with lies and dirty tricks and she wants to use him to get the crowd that Obama has generated, most of all she wants the African American votes…

This is rediculous.. If Obama ever shares a ticket with her[be it Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama], he'll lose considerable respect.. He'll have to swallow his words and agree to stand for all that we have been fighting against through out this campaign..washington and old politics.

Maybe the 'dream ticket' is indeed a dream in Hillary land, We are not dreaming of such a ticket in the Obama campaign….we simply want change, and Hillary is not change!

I would love to see a Clinton-Obama ticket. I think that Hillary is the best candidate to run for president for the Dems by virtue of her experience and that the only thing that Obama is lacking is the same. A Clinton-Obama ticket would be very appealing to voters and if elected would give Obama the one thing that is so critically missing from an otherwise impressive portfolio to run for president in the future — experience!

I think Hillary is too smart and intelligent to be anyone's VP..She is Presidential candidate..

I think the majority of the states in the Union say that Obama should head a joint ticket.

Hillary atop an Obama-Clinton ticket? But she's not the leader in the delegate count, and she never will be. She's not even the one inspiring thousands of new people to join the process. At best, she could be Obama's Cheney.

Although it may seem like a dream ticket of Hillary/Obama is possible, I do not believe it is probable. It looks like a ploy on Hillarys part to seem as if she would be willing to work beside Obama. Obama has not said much about it, which may be because he is not considering it. Hillary has proven time and time again that she will say or do anything to get a vote, as did Slick Willy. Obama will probably win the nomination, which is a reason for Hillary to try to get on his good side now. Her intentions are clear. She wants in, no matter what. I just laugh at those two, because niether of them will beat McCain in November, dream ticket or not.

It`s the only logical thing the Democrats can do. This would attract most of those 'true" Democrats who voted in the primaries, not the Republican "spoilers". —-The real trick is, " Who will head up the ticket ?".

Obama and Clinton would make a great team as President and Vice President. This would empower the democratic party. Please consider this for the entire party and the people in our country.

Hillary needs Obama to win in November more than Obama needs her because she is very polarizing.

I hope not…I'm disgusted by Hitlery's ability to woo the public by playing "victim", when informed and well-educated voters know that she is a predator. The Clinton Regime has a list longer than Yao Ming's legs of corruption, scandal, and "suicides". Poor America, I'm voting for Ralph Nader and whoever the nobody is that's running with him.

A so-called "Dream Ticket" would be the correct course of action and would constitute REAL CHANGE. Anything less would be "business as usual." Neither Clinton nor Obama should support intervention by the Superdelegates. The Superdelegates are synonymous with the Electoral College and disenfranchise American voters. American voters WANT a "Dream Ticket". Americans want a smart and intelligent President. Americans do not want to be mocked on the world stage anymore. It may be too much to ask, but if both Clinton and Obama want to stand up to their promises for change than this would be the best first step.

It is highly unlikely that Obama would pick Clinton as his running mate and he would be a fool to accept the VP nod from her.

Hillary needs to go back to the Hillary Land of Oz. She gets boos and jeers at every Democratic forum she attends, while Obama gets cheers. She is not popular in this country, nor will she ever be. She needs to suck up any remaining self-respect she has left and bow out.

i. e. Help me! Help me!!

I don't think Obama supporters would be agreeable to a ticket that includes Clinton. It would call in question the ideals and appeal of Obama if he attaches himself to her.

Yes. We all saw this coming. Obama will get his experience as Vice and it'll be merry.

If Obama isn't on top, the ticket will remain A DREAM!

It Clearly seems that Hillary should be the Nominee she has won every big state by double percentages and that 's what is needed in November. Barak should be her running mate and the Democrats can take back the white house for a long time.

Now let me get this straight. You are supposed to pick a VP that you think would be able to be president, if something happens to you. Is Hillary now saying Barack is ready to be president? We're supposed to trust her judgment, correct? So now she thinks he can answer that "red phone" @ 3 am? With her 'logic' there's material for another SNL skit . . . maybe not one she would find so funny!

Whoever has the fewer deligates at the end gets the second seat on the ticket. I don't think Hillart will go for that

IN YOUR DREAMS!!r r your de

This has got to be a BIG joke. Barack is ahead and Hillary wants him to be her vp? Run a clean campaign, Hillary, and you might make the long list.

The only way a joint ticket works is with Obama as President, Hillary as VP…anything other than that and it's the same as Hillary running by herself, which IMHO is a "can't win" scenario for her.

I'm glad she's saying this now. I have thought for a long time that the best way to get maximum benefit from Obama in the executive branch is to have him be VP for eight years and then President for eight years. The Democratic Party would be insane not to have some sort of dream ticket.

Obama would be a great VP. She is clearly the heavier hitter in terms of leadership and wonkiness. He is an inspirational speaker in training to be a president someday – maybe in 8 years. By then we will know more about him and he will have proven his abilities beyond just 3 years out of state senate. For now, let's support Sen. Clinton and get ready to take on McCain.

Just another part of Hillary's tactics. She realizes that practically the ONLY way she can get in the White House at this point is on a ticket with Barack Obama.

I'm disappointed with all the voters yesterday who voted to prolong the process and weaken the party.

OBAMA 08!! Do the math, people, he's the only one who can win!!

You are kidding right? He would be good for her ( if she wins). Not the other way around. She is a loose cannon. Honor sitting next to him one day, he is lying the next. PMS must be pretty powerful stuff.

It is interesting (though not surprising) to see that CNN does not have a Barack Obama icon. Obama is a wonderful, inspiring candidate who has a superb, rich background in Illinois and Washington, DC. It is interesting that this knowledge is not widely known. If you are uninfored, please see the Obama website. His plans for our future are unbiased , specifc, and visionary – just what we need at this crucial time! So, although Hillary won last night due to dirty tricks, we can continue the fight for our nation through Obama's candidacy.

The only way that I will vote for Hillary at this point s if she is part of the ticket with Barack. If she is the Democratic nominee without Barack and goes up against McCain, I would very seriously consider voting for McCain. I have grown so disgusted with Camp Clinton and their tactics to winning that I hate the very thought of actually voting for her!!! It would be akin to giving my stamp of approval for how she has conducted herself and her campaign…something that I most certainly do not approve of in any fashion!

Hillary is a champion gladiator in the political arena. Barack would do well to be her second and learn the ropes for when it is HIS turn to lead…

sharing the ticket with Obama will be a hisotic event for this country. But, the candidate on top should be the one who has secured more peldged delegates and popular votes. Ohio and Texas is not all of America, therefore, by having won in these two states should not qualify Hillary to be on top of the ticket.

It is logical and obvious based on peoples choice and voice the dream ticket should be Obama and Clinton.

Finally!. The party is coming together. I want to thank Hillary for finally saying something that is not divisive. Regardless who wins the nomination, if these two can put their bickering and politcal mudlslinging behind them once the dust settles, this election is already in our pocket.

Gee, I forgot that Ohio, whose economy is in the tank and who has been royally screwed by Bill Clinton's NAFTA has such leverage to determine the democratic ticket. Maybe it's time to change history and make sure Ohio does not dictate the democratic nominee. Senator Clinton, this day brings you three wins. As Dallas coach Tom Landry used to tell his cocky players…"when you score a touchdown, look like you have been there before." Good advice for you to learn.

Thank You Ohio and Texas for making McCain our next president, by voting for Clinton.

Obama will have to be on top of the ticket or we will fight to finish!

this election is about delegate and Obama is in the lead.

Moving on to Mississippi and Wyoming!

YES WE CAN!

GO OBAMA!!!!

There is no way I will vote for Obama/Hillary ticket after all the worst dirty tricks that this woman did. Any woman but not Hillary!

If Obama gets the nomination, he would be sadly mistaken to put Hillary on the ticke. Between her and her husband, he would never be heard. The whining would go on for 4 years. This is one family that doesn't know when to be quiet.

I would love to see "the dream ticket" and there would be no way the GOP could win. It's going to take a long while to get our nation back on track after the worst administration in history. Let's put Hillary on top this election, Barrack in eight years for two more terms. By then, things should be great and the nation will forget how bad things were and elect another GOP candidate who will screw everything up again. The cycle will continue.

The democrats need to consider this one very carefully. If I were John McCain, given all of the hype about the first potential White Female and or African American, I'd choose a VP to balance the table. I'd look at a African American female by the name Conda Lisa Rice.

Ok, so let me get me this straight:

If Clinton wins (or steals) the nomination, then she will pick a VP candidate that she has already implied is not ready to be commander in chief? Somehow I don't think this ticket could survive a general election.

Please NOT – I am voting for Clinton. I do not like or trust Obama. Bill Richardson or Joe Lieberman would be a good VP!

This is the way it should be. This will end the fighting among democrats. I am a Obama supporter and I think the ticket should be Clinton/Obama. Obama can be Hillary's conscience and still do a lot of good as V.P. "TOGETHER" The can accomplish so much.

This makes more sense than picking an unknown. I think that it would bring the Democratic party back together again and insure a win against McCain. Also, McCain can't fight the same against them both. They would strengthen each other. I wonder why Obama's camp has not proposed the same.

Is Hillary willing to sink her own party just to be the nominee? Is her endless power quest too polarizing?

The ticket should be two people who opposed the Iraq war from the beginning.

Consistency is key.

She's back! Don't ever count this woman out. She has had to fight for years, she is showing that she is a fighter! Who do I want in the White House? This tough little woman, Hillary.

Obama/Clinton/Clinton. A nightmare ticket for gridlock within the White House itself.

Last time I checked this was a election for United States of America not States that vote Democratic in November election, Obama still has a 10 state lead over Hillary.

I could support the dream ticket, but I want Obama for president and Hillary for vice president.

He should NOT be on teh same ticket that she is. If she steals this nomination away from him and she extends an invitation for VP he shoudl flatly REFUSE! She is not a leader that he shoudl follow. The ticket wouldnt be good if it were reversed either. She has proven herself to be a very mean spirited woman who is out for herself and not for teh Democratic party or for the American people. If he should come out of he underhanded campaigning alive (which I hope he does) I would rather see him add John Edwards on his ticket. They have botth proven themselves to be gentlemen and still stand firm on what they believe in. She has only proven herself to be a bully.

Obama 2008!

I will call it a dream team if Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama finally agree to this kind of arrangement with Hillary on top. This ticket will surely win back the White House for the democratic party. At the same time, it will give Senator Obama the needed experience he needs to be the next standard bearer of the party in the in the year 2016 presidential elections. I hope the so called elders of the democratic party will look into this kind of scenario.

It would make really, really good sense for Clinton and Obama to align. The two balance one another out and could do great things for this country. If Obama serves as VP for 8 years, there would be no contest when he seeks office as President. Obama just needs more experience. This will come with exposure and opportunity in the appropriate position.

I think these two candidates should just shake hands, join forces, and do what most Americans want — and that is to partner and take us places we never dreamed imaginable.

Hillary is really good at winning big states, he's really good at winning the small ones. If they were on the same ticket, there would be no stopping them in the fall. They won't just win, it would be a landslide.

Hillary would make an excellent Vice-President. Good for her!

The people of 23 states very clearly have said Obama should be on the top of the ticket.

Out of your mind Hillary. What IF you under Obama will you take this position. You still lose Obama right now. I don't think you Command In Chief. When enemy attach you CRY????

As I mentioned earlier in the month, Latinos will only vote for a CLINTON..Look at the numbers, We VOTED BIG for her!!

We love her!!

Hillary 08!
Hillary 08!
HIllary 08!

You"re right, that would be a dream ticket, for both the Democrats and the Republicans, because any ticket with Hillary on it in either spot is sure to keep the Democrats out of the White House for another eight years. In the meantime, as an independent who leans towards Obama and McCain, I'll be joining the McCain campaign the minute Hillary is put on the ticket.

A Clinton/Obama ticket would be a huge mistake for Obama, a great benefit for her and Bill, but they would become a nightmare of taking over everything and Obama would be consigned to the dust bin. Ditto for Obama/Clinton ticket. If he thinks he has trouble with 2 opponents in one package now, it would be terrible in the Oval Office. An Obama/Edwards ticket would be the "dream ticket"! Forget the Clintons – let her go back to the Senate and Bill to whatever it is he does.

This would be the greatest tag team that his country has ever seen.

I hope both individuals can suppress personality and do what is in the best interest of the country.

Both candidates standing alone lack shape we need, but together, the supplement each other perfectly.

And it sets the stage for Obama to become President in eight years.

If Clinton is on the ticket Obama loses my vote. I have historically voted Republican, but this year I lean towards Obama as the best candidate. That being said, if Clinton is in the mix I will vote McCain. She needs to go and get out fast. She does not represent American values. She does represent Mexico well however. Perhaps she could be the next Fox.

The people of 23 states very clearly have said Obama should on the top of the ticket.

Who deceids about the Florida and Michigan delegates? Also who gets the John Edwards Delegates? Both of these factors can make a big difference to the ending of this story!

So now she would consider Obama as her running mate, a heartbeat away from being President, should the Democrats win in November. Only days ago her message in the ugly ads her campaign aired was that his skills and experience are lacking for that job. Inconsistent, manipulative? I suspect she is guilty on both charges.
I will be choosing integrity over idealogy in the general election, Clinton lost my vote for good some time ago.

Obama 2008

If it comes down to a dream ticket it SHOULD be Clinton -Obama.
But in my opinion "Hillary Clinton" and "John Edwards"

Obama dont do it and dont even think it….. Reach out to Colin Powell. Stay far away from seasoned politicians and old politics.

Well, if somehow Hillary can come out the nomine….and that's a BIG if, then Obama would be stupid to turn it down. The same goes for her if he would have her. I think both "if" are incredibly unlikely tho.

HILLARY WILL BE OUR NOMINEE…HILLARY will FIGHT till the end!!

WE are behind you HILLARY 08

HIllary 08
HIllary 08
Hillary08

Well, a split ticket would be a great idea. Bad news for Hillary though, Ohio isn't the only deciding factor in who gets to run for president. Obama is still winning the delegate count.

Even so, I seriously doubt Clinton would succeed to be Obama's VP. It will never happen. It's her on top… or well all get a long drawn out campaign fight.

I don't think Obama should be a VP – he's dishonest as evidenced by his behind the scenes economic meetings with Canada in Chicago, Tony Rezko (from whom he bought a prime piece of Chicago real estate for 30% of its market value – in return for what??? Watch the trial!), and continued alliance with Farrakhan here in Chicago.
Hillary is clearly the best choice for the leader of our country! With Edwards as VP.

I would like this VERY much. As a matter of fact, I think the should just end the primary and focus on their strategy for the general election. I see it like this – No matter who is president, if the two of them do a great job in office like I think they will, the other will go on to become president in 2012. This way, there will be a democrat in the office for the next 16 years!

Please, Democrats–let's unite under these two candidates! The world would be ssssoooooooooooo much better off with either (or preferably both) of them, so whatever happens in the election, vote for the Democratic ticket in November.

If Hillary is on top of the ticket Bill Clinton might as well be the Vice President, we all know they both need the attention on them and not anybody else. Obama will never become VP when her as President and Bill tagging along

Hillary as President and Barack as VP ? Not on my dead body ! The woman has used fear tactics, lies, deception, distortions.
After slinging mud on him she needs him ? What for ? To inspire her old biddies ? I will never, never, vote for that woman.

With the apparent division of the democratic party the mention of a joint ticket is way to start the process of unification.

I find it fascinating that we can comment on this statement by Clinton — opening the door to hordes of the kind of zealous Obama supporters who tear personally into every word Senator Clinton says — but we can't post a thing about Obama's claim that he's going to win the nomination, and that he was the winner last night, despite losing three huge contests to Senator Clinton. We wouldn't want to see any criticism of our chosen candidate, would we, CNN?

And people in how many other states have clearly said that it should be Barack? Barack….don't consider a joint a ticket. Its either you as President with your choice of VP or nothing. Don't lower your standards.

Oh No

Hillary will sink the Democeatic Party !

Clinton has such an ego. She won a few states and very few delegates and already sees herself as President. She now offers Obama the VP after ripping him a part only becuase he will get her the black and young vote. You have to love politics.

Hillary Clinton has now reached stage three of grief, bargaining

/Up next, depression and acceptance

HILL-tops in Pennsylvania!

WE are ready to vote her in!

Reading Pa!

It looks good and it makes it easier for them to defeat the republicans.

PLEASE TELL ME IT ISN'T SO HILLARY! He comes with to much dirt….I say no to Hillary/ Obama ticket………

Has anyone checked out the number of Republicans that switched party affiliation just to vote for Clinton, their preferred Democratic candidate, since she is so despised by their party? There was a big push on talk radio (Limbaugh) to get Republicans to "Vote for Hillary".

Why does cnn have a picture with Obama standing out more? Can't you bean brains get a picture of Obama and Hillary sitting down?

True but the people of 23 other states say they want Obama on the top of the ticket.

Barack has won the delgate count in 25 states to Hillary's 14. He has also garnered over 1 million more total popular votes. Why is Hillary still around?

if its a joint ticket obama should be at the top… if not it,ll be a third bill clinton administration. i,ve never seen a woman as power hungry as hilary rodham. i personally feel she prefers a republican to a succesful obama administration

Make it Clinton/Obama and the Dems secure the WH for almost 2 decades easily. This gives O a chance to get some experience on the national and international scene. She doesn't gain anything from being VP, only he does. Still, there are some things that still need to be figured out about him, which is why there is some hesitancy by Clinton. It's not just talk on her part that he has not been vetted, he hasn't and I would want that done before I put that person on the ticket with me.

What a shock it will be for Hillary in November when all those cross-over Republican voters turn around and vote for McCain! I should know; I was one of them. Hillary's victories on Tuesday were a "fairytale".

HILLtop's in Pennsylvania!

We're ready to vote her in!!!!!!!!

Hillary is behind in delegates and she claiming victory? She wants to head the Democratic ticket ? There is no end to her ambition!

Hillary of President. . . Barack for VP?

Talk about a "win – win".

O.K., I can not vote for Hillary Clinton for President. I don't think I could do it even if she made Obama her VP. I also do not think I could vote for Obama if it means that Hillary is the VP. As an Independant, I like McCain and I like Obama, but if Hillary Clinton is on the ticket in any way – you can count me out.

McCain or Obama 08

she's like that turd that won't go down when you flush.

I think most voters would be elated to have a Clinton/Obama ticket so Senator Obama would have the necessary experience to be president in 8 years! Definitely my dream team to solve our problems and get us headed in the right direction for the next 2 decades!

Where are the talking heads?

Obama is a very decent and respectable guy.He is trying to change the tone in Washinton.

Welcome to the Main Event!! LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!! The dems are duking it out as the republicans set everything up and get ready. Will the democrats hate each other so much that by that time most will have filtered to independant? It sure looks like it!

NO, NO, NO, NO – I am a Hillary supporter but would never vote for ANY ticket that included Obama. At least if he wins, she can go back to the Senate and block the stupid moves he is sure to make! If Obama appears on the democratic ticket, I am voting republican for the first time in 30 years.

HILLtop's in Pennsylvania!

We're ready to vote her in!!!!!!!!

She's right! Obama / Clinton 08

I'm with you Hillary!

Obama really doesn't have the experience for a VP but if this will bring the party together then we must do what we must do. I would like to see a Clinton / Richardson ticket but what can you do. If Obama gets the nod I will not Vote and I will become an independent but I will not vote for McCain.

Not a chance in hell, she is up to her old tricks! The Obama team will not play that game, but nice try Hillary. Smart move!

It's 3:00 a.m. and the phone rings…..Hillary starts crying and then
she says why do I have to get the first phone call everytime there's a
crisis?

I'm crying over here.

I think women are better at looking at several aspects of an issue and are uncelebrated leaders as mothers, wives and employees. It was time that some one paid attention. They have a big economic clout and if they stopped consuming the economy would come to a halt. I am happy Hillary won – all the other wins for Obama were protest votes and folks who do not go in for details. The President of a country cannot make radical changes that Obama is promising.

Hillary/Obama,

That is the only way Obama will see my vote

I don't think so,
Obama would never chose her as a VP

I don't think so. I'm getting tired of seeing the Clintons. They make me sick

Now this is something I would support. Personally, I could care less who is on the top ticket. But it would almost ensure a Democrat would be next in office and that's ALL I care about!

This is insane, Clinton can say what she wants, but Barack will not to take second chair to someone he can beat. Plus his VP will be republican, which will deaden republican attacks in November.

For Obama to go on a ticket with Clinton would be political suicide. She would make sure he was incapacitated…that he would not be able to run against her in a second term. This is a political animal, not a leader. If she were elected it would be more of the same in Washington. If this is the way she conducts herself, this would not be a safer country.

Where ARE her tax returns? There is corporate work behind the scenes.

I am amazed that there was very little attempt on the part of this news team to reveal the false accusations Clinton threw in the minutes before the primary. Check out the Canadian news item on NAFTA on monday night. Canada is asking why their government is involving itself in a US election – could it be the oil deals with Bush?

If this miracle would happen it would be the best thing to happen to the Democrats in decades!

Think of the miliions and millions of dollars the Democrats would save on contentious campaigns and it end the bitter in-fighting and was ensure great respect and support for both Hillary and Barack.
What a historic pres. election it would be!

after all the bashing? she wants a dream ticket?

This might be the best possible outcome of the primary battle. There really isn't much policy difference between them – in fact, their health care proposals are almost identical, with only a few differences. And it might give all Democratic subgroups a candidate to support.

Speaking for myself, I could support either a Cliinton/Obama or an Obama/Clinton ticket. But I'd prefer having Obama head the ticket.

I don't think that there is any way that a joint ticket will happen. The tone of the race in the democratic party changed significantly this week. The message that Senator Clinton put out in the last days before the March 4th primary focused not on her policies but played upon negatives previously brought up about Obama. This is going to engender ill-will between the Obama and Clinton Camps. I expect Clinton to continue to go negative based on the fact that over 20% of late deciders responded to it and voted for her. The question is whether Obama decides to fight back or continue to take it. The bad news is that the big loser here is the democratic party, only 4/10 respondents last night indicated they would be happy with either democratic candidate. I can no longer envision any scenario where a brokered convention does not occur. The nuclear scenario of having to deal with Florida and Michigan is now very likely to come up.

Dream on Hillary. She won TX and OH and I commend her but the point is she didn't win big enough. She still lags behing in the popular vote and in the delegate count and the polls show her lagging by almost 20 points in PA. It is going to be impossible for her to clinch the nomination unless the DNC decideds that true democracy isn't good enough for them anymore and steal this primary just like Bush stole it in 2000. Hillary Clinton will not be the next president of the USA and Barack would not even think of letting her get close to being on his ticket and she knows this. Her best bet is to drop out (or she can even fight to the end if she wants but it wont matter)and try to go for Senate Majority Leader.

And it would guarantee a Democratic win in the national. So fellow Democrats, can we rally together and face the common enemy or must the infighting continue? It looks like Sanator Clinton is on boeard…so how about Senator Obama?

I am so disgusted this morning, I can't stand it. People always criticize the mudslinger, and then turn around and vote for the one slinging the mud. Hillary has proven once again that she will do and say anything to get the nomination. She knows very well that her criticisms of Obama don't hold water. Whatever happened to "I'm just so honored to be sitting on this stage with Barack Obama."?
So she won the big states. Would you really try to convince me that the citizens of NY, CA, OH, TX, etc, in a choice between Obama and McCain would not vote for the young and dynamic Obama?
No one but an idiot would vote for a continuation of the Bush policies that McCain represents. Although Hillary has so positioned herself that she may have poisoned her followers into following no one but her. In her mind, the only way to unify the Democratic Party is to place her on the top of the ticket, with Obama as VP. Otherwise, she has no interest in unifying the party.

they are polar opposites, he needs someone who stands on the same place on the issues as he does from the beginning. she is a flip-flopper and would get eaten alive by the republicans.

Hillary lost my vote. I will not vote for that joint ticket either.
