Tell us Hillary, what experience do YOU have?

what kind of experience that she is talking about since she can't even control her own campaign

PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND SAVE THESE COMMENTS BY THAT WOMAN FOR APRIL 1st! HA HA HA

Most of us are sickened by her rhetoric.

CNN and the rest of the MEDIA need to print that article "MAD IN TEXAS." Thank You.

Questions, questions, questions…

Aren't we beyond the question of the "dream" ticket?

Is this an act of desperation on the part of the Clinton campaign?

Why am I not as excited about the "dream team?"

What about Obama as President and Hillary as Vice President?

Will this nomination process ever end?

Will the Mississippi, Pennsylvnia and the superdelegates finally "put us out of our misery?"

Is the Presidential election really an eterenity (I mean eight months) away?

So, many questions. So few answers.

…but alas, I still have hope.

Obama '08

Clever Girl.

With this move she:
Eats into Obama's base for change.
Gets perceived as the Democratic Party uniter.
Shows initiative and leadership.

It IS appropriate to say that a candidate is less suited for the top job, but better qualified for the supporting position. That is what usually happens to candidates that show the potential to blossom in the future.

Clinton/Obama 08!

sorry…but serving as a first lady definitely doesn't certify hillary as
commander-in-chief material…i mean anyone who believes that is
as dumb as a rock. she and her staff must believe that we are a bunch
of idiots to believe anything as far fetched as that notion…that would
mean that laura and barbara and even jackie O were qualified and
that just isn't the truth. hillary is no more qualified today than barack is
which makes him the better choice anyways.

BARACK OBAMA '08

IMPEACH BUSH/CHENEY TODAY!!!

Are you wondering about Senator Clinton's experience? Read the above article again. People in the know ATTEST to that because they have been dealing with her at different levels and capacities for a long time. "Ret. Gen Joe Ballard – who joined Wolfson on the call, along with Ret. Gen. Wesley Clark and Ret. Adm. Joe Sestak — made the case that Clinton is more qualified to handle foreign crises than Obama, an argument her campaign has been stressing in recent weeks." Now, are you still wondering about her experience? Or do you just simply do not want to believe.

I hope Nader doesn't quit because if Clinton is the nominee I'm voting for Nader. Got that DNC? Nader before Clinton. She's dirty. Don't you people ever get it? She's the same old thing. Machine politics. She isn't even in the White House and she's spinning lies and hate.

Papa Bill and Mama Hillary want to adopt Barack and school him in the machinations of office. Then he will be really READY!
Obama and voters can see through that.

This woman has truly lost her mind right on national tv…the nerve of Hilary….she's has not lead in this race ONCE and she's offering the VP she's questioning his experience..

WHAT EXPERIENCE DOES SHE HAVE??!!!

This whole argument is a fruad just another reason why she isn't stable enough to be president..she's delusional and her supporters got the nerve to call Obama Supporters whinners..you idiots been whinning this whole electin if its not the media its something else..the people that support her are low income non college graduat's so it doesn't suprise me and the lack of intelligent responses I been reading….Hilary is a joke and her supporters are clueless….

What kind of commander in chief would vote for the war in Iraq? That is Hillary's commander in chief test whihc she has flunked! Now she wants to take the vote back. What a joke!

OBAMA 08!

Hey CNN put the rest of Senator Obama's comments in Columbia Mississippi. He told voters "not to be Bamboozled or Hoodwinked. She placed John McCain ahead of me and now I am ready enough to be her Vice President." Then he quoted former Presidend Bill Clinton. His answer to this question was very pointed and clear. He told the attendees "not to be confused on this issue." Report it all!!!

Those democrates, who wants to see Hillary and Obama on one ticket, you got your message, which is Hillary is ready to be on one ticket with Obama, while Obama is not ready to be her VP. Therefore, in order to make sure we get them on one ticket, we should support Obama heavily so that we could end her fairy tale. And then we could convince Obama to have her his running mate for Nov 08.

Talk about same old same ole. The Clinton machine just won't quit. Offering the VP slot to the guy that is kicking her butt. Only the Ohio folks (And PA will follow unfortunately) would go for her. Their stupid "right to work" law and Ohio taxes on companies doing business there – is there any reason that Ohio is in an economic tailspin and that they'd support a Hillary.

Obama should just keep moving forward. I suggest he say something about "maybe" offering Hillary the Secretary of State job.

#1 Hillary was not the only one who voted to go to war but it was to be the last resort not an approval to go with out trying every other option.
#2 As first lady she was involved in many of Bill's negotiations, and as Senator she has been more involved in foreign afairs than Obama, who has not even voted on most issues. Present just doesn't cut it.
#3 She has co-authered over 50 bills with Republicans, how many has Obama co-authered?
Clinton in 2008 our best option. Obama is all "smoke and mirrors"

Ok whats the punchline????…………. cause this has got to be a joke!

Obama in Mississippi today, same old speech, but with the old hoodwink-ya , oke-dokie, He should be ashamed , and I find that kind of talking just because hes in the south, degrading to the citizens who came out to listen to him!

Hillary 08

Obama is speeches and no solutions.

We need a real choice..

A smart choice..

Clinton 08

Poor Hillary. Poor Bill. America's power couple deluxe. They just don't get it!

Neither lacks the vision to see what is happening all across the USA. People are disgusted and tired of their "old politics as usual" tactics.
Hillary lacks the character, the integrity and moral ethics to hold either Democratic Candidate position as Vice President and certainly not President.

Hillary tauts her experience of 35 years. The tragedy of that statement is that her first year of experience is so dismally poor and she just never improved on that first year of so-called experience over the past 34 years.

Poor Hillary. It will soon be just Hillary and Bill back in NYC remincising of what might have been.

I find Obama supporters to be very juvenile. They can't seem to support their candidate without slinging nasty, hateful remarks. It is very childish, but I guess it is easier to be hateful to Hillary than to try to come up with something good to say about their own candidate. Or maybe there isn't anything good to say about their own candidate.

C'mon Pat in Sexton, the name is Obama, not Abama. You must be a Hillary supporter. Getting your information from the Enquirer and believing all the stupid gossip. We need the intelligent and informed people electing our president if we are to even begin to fix the problems facing us at this time. Vote OBAMA. We need some intelligence at the top!!!!!!!!!

If Hillary is already offering the VP slot, I would say this is another case of declaring "mission accomplished" a little too soon. Obama clearly has the inside track to the nomination at this point in time. And after weeks of her saying he's not ready to be commander in chief, she now thinks he would make a great VP (a heart beat away from commander in chief)? Oh wait, he's not ready right now, but somehow he would be ready a few months from now. Is this making sense to anyone? And who the heck is Hillary to be making this judgement anyway?

This is a complete insult to Barack and all the people who have voted for him. He has won the most votes, states and delegates to date and she is offering him second place? How insulting! I was a huge clinton supporter, but the more i see their true colors coming through, the more i regret my support of her. Hiliary is completely turning me off from wanting to vote for her if she wins the nomination. I have shifted my support to Barack and will NOT vote for Hiliary if she wins the nomination. i hope others will send a message to the clintons that this is not the way to unite the party or the country.

By the way..Clinton is ONLY 99 delegates short of what Obama has totaled currently. I would not get too fixated on the lead since Hillary will win PA and take the lead once again. If one state separates the will of the people, I think it very naive for Obama supporters to use his short-term leverage of a "lead" to claim instant victory. It is not over, and maybe some voters are not for Hillary because they are internally sexist or socially developed to feel this way about a female leader. Whatever, the case, the amount of hate and name-calling that some citizens use against Clinton is morally wrong. I have yet to hear this type of venom spewed against Obama from Clinton supporters, and this is telling on what type of society we currently still live in. It is scary, anti-social, and displays serious character flaws of some people. Also, it is immature and I hope the blogger who called hillary a "witch" does not have any children, for she has not grown up herself.

I am a democrat and I have voted for democrats since 1980. I support Senator Obama in his bid to become the democratic nominee for presidency because I believe in his message of change. If Hillary win this nomination and then goes on to win the election (and her reelection in 2012) that would mean that from 1988 until 2016, twenty-eight years, we would only have had two families rule this country, BUSHES and CLINTON. I am tired of Clinton and I am tired of Bush, I want something new, I want some new blood, some new ideas, some new faces…That is one reason that I am voting for Obama. Clinton does not have a claim to the presidency, neither does anyone else, This is a free country, where we the people can vote for who we want as president. I do not need Hillary and her supporter telling others and me that we are just falling for a good person with a good speech. I am an educated man and I can think for myself. It just goes to show how Hillary and her supporters think they are just better than anyone else, and if you don’t vote for Queen Hillary then you must not be smart!

Hillary is really proving to be the say and do anything to win candidate here. It's one thing to have aides say something different than the candidate, as she claims the Obama camp has done (and hers has done as well quite frankly) but to have the actual candidate SAY that Obama is not ready to be commander-in-chief and then continue to imply he could be the vice president is obvious and its not going unnoticed.

Obama '08! Real change we can believe in!

CNN stop moderating my message

Wow….strong feelings by all.
Step back and think :
1. Is ANYONE really every ready to be President until they are President?
2. Politics are politics…its all about winning and different people. try different tactics to do so. It has never been otherwise.
3. Please listen to what they do say and don't focus on their age, gender, spouse or ethnic origin.
4. Dont HATE them or LOVE them…listen to them and then make your best informed decision…..

Evidently the Hillary camp is trying to make all the old black women think that if they vote for Hillary, they will still get Obama as Vice President.

There is an easy way for Obama to deal with this nonsense: just offer Hillary a job as the Whitehouse Dishwasher.

I like to run a donation request for to Help Michigan and Florida Voters to fund a new Primary send money to the respective state comptroller office.

Go Obama!!!!!

Clinton's team has been awfully generous in offering the joint ticket so soon ..what are they afraid of. If he's not experience as they say then why Vice President. What a way to sell fear.

Fight HIllary Fight!

Obama won't be ready until the year 2012. He just isn't ready for the position. He has too much on the job training to learn.

As of now Senator Obama is ahead in pledged delegates and the popular vote. The audacity of the Clintons to suggest Senator Obama as a VP. The Clintons are always playing their dirty politics – they only know how to play dirty and win at any cost. If at the end, Sen. Obama is ahead in pledged delegates and Hillary is made the nominee, get prepared for 4 more years of Bush.

Hillary, you don't have more experience than Obama! Being the wife of a president makes you no more qualified to be president than being the wife of a filmmaker makes you qualified to make great films.

If Barack Obama would cross the Commander-in-Chief "threshold" by the summer then it stands to reason he would be qualified by the November election. hillary monster clinton can't promote this idea without agreeing that Obama is ready to be Commander-in-Chief. hillary monster clinton is a hypocrit!

Yet another stunt byt he Clinton machine to win at any cost… It is not about issues for Clinton, but about tricks, deceptions and maneuvering. Press, start asking why Clinton's team doesn't talk about her positions and real experience, instead of every day finding new ways to distract the media and press.

We should have Laura Bush as president (She can argue that the has enough experience to be commander-chief) and she will train McCain by taking him as VP.

Give us a break

Anyone but Hillary

PS: Chelsea Clinton has the same presidential experience than Hillary

I think the Clinton camp will be eating their words soon. They have been talking about a joint ticket, preferrably in their mind Obama as VP. They proclaim that Obama cannot be the president because of his lack of foreign experience, but he should be VP. But under scrutiny of well if he does not have "foreign policy" experience then why should he be VP they have no answer.

They are going to soon eat their own words and be forced to stop campaigning that line.

Whoever that reporter is that asked that question deserves a special place in Obama history books.

The Nerve of those Clintons! When you feel entitled and invaded upon, you reach for the sky, I guess. Hillary "The Nominee" will destroy the American apple pie, regardless to how you slice it!

Queen Hillary – What can you say? She and her husband have shown that they feel they are entitled to again be president. She and Bill have completely dismissed Barack Obama as a viable candidate but are WILLING to have Senator Obama has a running mate. The audacity of these two. Why would Senator Obama subject himself to this type of condescension? I find this latest tatic by the Clintons to be at best insulting and at worst a slap in the face to Senator Obama as if they have the nomination already and everything else is only a formality.

To all my Obama Sopporters:

This is all about strategy. Dont let this meaningless rhetoric get you all upset.

The Clinton Camp knows that they are loosing and that the math is not in their favor even with the Florida and Michigan Delegates. They have to do something to stir the pot.

Hillary also knows there is no chance that Barak Obama will choose her to be on the ticket with him when he wins the nomination. Although she would be forced to add him to her ticket if by some miracle she happens to win the nomination. She knows that she cant win without him, but he doesnt need her to win.

OBAMA/McCASKILL 08

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!

Please this is all about the Cliton's taking Obama supporters for fools!! They will stop at nothing to get what they want, if it's not wheeling and dealing with the Superdelegates it's giving the illusion Obama is runing in 2nd place!

Who won the most states so far??
Who won more delegates so far??

How dare the Clinton's offer him VP at this point in the primary talk about underhanded tactics!!

Enough with Hillary and Bill and Politics as usual, if this does not prove we need CHANGE then I don't know what will!!

There will be no joint ticket. Hillary faces a huge uphill battle to win the nomination even if Florida and Michigan are seated. Obama will not pick her as VP. She adds nothing to the ticket and will energize the repulican base besides. If Hillary does manage to mount a comeback promoting her "Experience" then what will she do when someone with real experience like McCain comes along? Run on a change ticket? She changes her campaign like a chameleon changes color.

Obama 08 for real change

Hillary, once again, doing and saying anything to get elected. I am amazed that there are still people out there who do not see through to her true motivations. What gaul, what arrogance to offer the candidate who more people have supported to date the number two job! She knows that she won't get it done by following the rules – she isn't stupid, she can add up the numbers – so Mrs. Clinton is trying every avenue possible to get it done. Disgusting!

I find it interesting that no one has suggested Ms. Clinton has a problem with "upscale educated white" voters. Her campaign's tactics–and especially of late–suggests that this is a demographic group she has decided to not only cede, but insult.

This doesnt smell pretty.
sounds to me like racism in disguise

Does the Clinton campaign realize how downright riduclous they are beginning to sound ??? They are creating their own reality in "Billaryland" & are starting to believe their own bs.

Can we pull this thorn we call Hillary out of our side already?

It is starting to infect the Democratic Party..

She is trying to say Obama can be her VP??? Hillary we have news for you.. We don't want you nowhere on the ticket.

Stop the spin, stop the deception, leave us alone..

Obama 08

Obama ready by summer? Cool, the election isn't until november…I'm thinking if he only needs a few more months to "qualify" he must be pretty experienced already.

If he's ready to be Commander-in-Chief by August, why can't he be the nominee by then? By Wolfson's logic, Obama will have the experience he needs to be president before the Democratic convention. Now, maybe, we can stop all this nonsense.

Is the news media so lame. The US is in a war, we are desperately seeking to understand the candidates for President, and you focus on an ad created by a production hired by the Hillary Clinton's campaign. We lost 5 US soldiers today in Iraq and this is the story you run… What a joke CNN has become. This story while humorous, is NOT news!

Do you check every actor pushing your channel to be sure they aren't a FOX fan! I really didn't believe Hillary Clinton when she said that the news media is being soft on Obama. I felt it was campaign rhetoric. After reading this worthless story, I now think its true. I need to take a second and more enlightened look at Hillary.

CNN, where's the story on Obama's strong statement moments ago on the issue??

OMG!
Only the arrogant Hillary Clinton and egotistical Bill Clinton could come up with this self serving comment!

Does she think the voters can't see her game plan? Barack is ahead and does not need Hillary on the ticket.

I'm glad that Mr. Obama clarified that he is running for President of the US and not the VP. The Clintons are very presumptive and that is one of the many reasons why I choose to vote for Barack Obama.

Pam in Oregon

That's the ticket that dreams are made out off… If only Obama and Hillary will get their act together and make history and play the cards right we will ride this for 16 years.

Good Lord Almighty. I can't even believe this. This has got to be the most ridiculous thing yet to come from the Clinton camp, and they've said a lot of ridiculous things.

it is obvious that he has been thinking about this for a week now… right now he has a slim lead and really does not like the electoral college being brought up… all of this political spin!!!

he is worried that the super delegates will not back him because of his lack of experience and the big swing states in the general election… a lot of them have stated that some of the states he has won have always been a red state… this makes for great TV drama since no new shows are on due to the writers strike…

They are getting desparate and it is really starting to show!

Obama/Edwards 2008

Hmm…notice how Obama chooses his words. He says "I am not running for vice-president," but he doesn't say, "I will not accept the vp position." There is a big difference, so if Obama fans think he won't accept that position, thin k again.

Cnn, msnbc, all news networks, Why do you refuse to ask Senator Clinton, President Clinton and all of the surrogates to her campaign this one simple question.

" With you losing in the delegate count, at this point if anyone were to be considering the vice presidency shouldn't it be you?

Drop the Mike Huckabee comparison. The man stopped being in the Republican race Feb 4.

I am starting to fully endorse Obama's position that he has way better foreign judgement than she has with her extremely limited foreign experience, if she has any at all.

One of the comments above stated that this new clinton stance on obama not being ready to be president was a political tactic, but if we've learned anything from texas, and ohio then we know people are complete idiots, and will fall for it regardless of the facts. They cannot read between the lines, they refuse to use common sense, and they probably didn't graduate from high school. Oh…that's the majority of Hillary's base…Sorry…

Last i check Obama was Winning and they better not try to pull one like they did in 2000 with bush

Does anyone else remember the Chris Rock stand-up when he says they would only ask a Black man to be VP to someone he could beat?

Besides that Hillary's experience 1. does not necessarily make HER ready, and 2. would never match up to MCCain in a general election (if that's what she wants as the focus) and would therefore risk the
White House for the Democrats, since when does the person is second place get to "call" first place on a ticket? The Obama camp should have reacted in a way that took it forgranted that if the "Clintons" want a "dream ticket", of course they mean Obama for Prez and Clinton for VP. After all, as of now, she's in second place.

If Hillary is on the ticket, whether as a VP or President, I have two options on election day.

1) Stay Home
2) Vote McCain

I am leaning towards 2. What about you?

How many of these generals and admirals supporting Clinton served in the Iraq war? If any of them have then they should shut their fat mouths because none of them had the courage to stand up to that moron Rumsfeld to tell him he was screwing things up. Too bad the generals and admirals are more concerned about their retirement pensions then the well being of thos combat soldiers making a small wage. Oh yeah and didnt Clinton back Bush to go to war????

Let's get to the truth. How can we trust a candidate who has made it very clear she LOANED her campaign 5 million dollars? If this is the right cause for her and she believes in it that much why would she LOAN the money to her campaign? Why wouldn't she donate it? Why would she insist on getting the money back? There are millions of people donating money to the Obama campaign, their not lending it. But I guess that is to be expected from someone who won't release her tax returns or White House documents, I'm guessing, out of fear that the whole country will see right through her. Maybe we'd get to see who's pocket she's actually hiding in.

Obama has always been against the latest war in Iraq, Clinton voted for it to begin.

That's all I need to know about who is better qualified in international matters.

I will vote Democratic this year only if Barack Obama is at the top of the ticket.

He'll be ready in the summer? Like he'll take a crash course on being the President at a community college?

GET REAL, MRS. CLINTON. If he will be ready this summer, the simple teuth is he's ready right now. Thank you for your confirmation that Senator Obama is ready. I do believe President Obama will be glad to work with you as a NY senator, provided those folks keep you on the job.

LASER…..You're comment makes no sense! I thought Obama had intellectual voters on his side?

You people just don't get it. It's not the number of states that is important…it is "which" states! Hillary is winning all of the states that we will need to win in November against McCain. And don't tell me that Obama would win all of those states in Nov. Just look back to 1980 when "Reagan Democrats" delivered all but five states for him. Jimmy Carter only won his home state of Georgia, Maryland, Minn., WV, and Hawaii for a total of 49 electoral votes. Reagan won 489 electoral votes. Now, there is a "McCain Democrats" movement forming out here and we will do the same for him if Obama is the Democratic nominee! Get over it!

What "Commander in Chief" test?

Interesting tactic by Clinton's campaign though. Despite being behind in the popular vote and the delegate count, she acts as if she is the Democratic nominee, and now she is considering adding Obama as a Vice Presidential candidate. It is awfully presumptuous to evaluate Obama as a VP candidate at this point. Arrogant too.

hillary will do anything to become president! it doesn't matter whether she destroy the deocratic party or pollute the name of the most hopefull young talented politician the democrats have! she is power crazed and it's all about her! she doesn't care about the american people! thats why voters in mississippi and especially in pennsylvania shouldn't vote for her! she stands for more of the same old washington politics. this country needs a change aber nearly 20 years reigned by only two families (bush and clintons). the white house desperatly needs some new impulses, a fresh face with new ideas and a new style of politics! the white house needs a guy like barack obama!

Obviously Clinton is talking a lot about change also.
So what about Bush – Clinton – Bush – Clinton. That's real change for more than 20 years, right!
We need a fresh face, some one who can restore our country's reputation abroad and who can unite this country headed for recession.

Obama -08

If he's ready by this summer, then that's still over 6 mths before "Day one"

Hillary just has a hangover from the good old days when she expected to be crowned. Now that she is running second in states won, popular vote, and delegate count, she has the arrogance to suggest that Obama take second seat on HER ticket. What unmitigated gall. This smacks the way George Bush, another popular vote loser claimed a mandate. And speaking of him, I'd hate to think what would happen to the country if Hillary and her unbridled ego got hold of the powers Bush usurped. The only thing worse would be if John "Out of Control" McCain got them.

Regarding Hillary gaining momentum, why are we not seeing a major announcement on CNN that it was in fact Obama that won Texas (after the caucus votes were added in)? Bill Clinton himself said Hillary needed to win Ohio and Texas to keep in the race. Well, she apparently lost Texas. That means it's time for her to withdraw, doesn't it?

The Clinton's will try everything and anything to get elected!!!!!

Obama is popular.
In high school they are kids who are popular – but then they do not do too much in life. The ones who are not the popular do better, because they have time to learn, to get knowledge, experience. They do not waste time being popular.

Can someone Please ask Mrs.Clinton,If she's ready to be Commander/Cheif so much. Why wasn't she ready to answer the questions about once leaving Irqa do you go back in or not.What if that's the 3:00 phone call situation.What do she do.

Hillary has this undocumented sense of entitlement. Her years as first lady under Bill Clinton cannot be chalked up as commander in chief experience by no means. A true commander in chief would not avoid a simple request for tax returns. What does she have to hide? Wealth like all of her corporate cronies whose palms she intends to grease. Please! Well no one is asleep on this one and at 3:00 AM if Obama does not answer the phone, we'll probably be headed for another war!

I predict Hillary will be VP, to McCain. McCain/Clinton vs Obama/Gore.

Obama has won the pledged delegates and the popolar vote. The Clintons are ruthless, win at any cost politicians, and they insult the intelligence of the voting public. The superdelegates need to know that if they choose Clinton over Obama, not only will the Democratic party lose the youth and African American vote, they will lose many other votes. I am white, female, middle-aged. I am disgusted by the machinations of the Clintons. If Clinton muscles her way into the nomination I will quit the Democratic party immediately. Given the Clintons behavior since the South Carolina primary, I would never cast a vote for her. What kind of arrogance must the Clintons have to "invite" the leading candidate, Obama, to join her ticket? He should never settle for that; it is absurd. Obama 08!!!

Now that is an outrage! We democrats should not vote for someone like Hillary who uses reprehensible tactics, pretty much like those of a true right-wing nut. Obama represents something that is decent and trustworthy. I will not vote for someone who is mean and nasty to be the president of the United States of America.

Okay, this is just sad. Obama's not ready to be President when he's running against her, but he's experienced when he's running with her?

You can tell, now, that she never really thought that Obama wasn't ready. It was just political posturing.

When has the military being the people to choose the President of this country and who is fit to be command in chief?

Why are we against military in Pankistan and other nations where the military is the leader?

The constitution is very clear, clark and the rest military leaders should not be involved in politics, they should take command from the people's choice and they are not in position to tell us who they think will do be a better command in chief.

Barack Obama has lost my respect and my vote. After all of his comments on working together to help the american people he is going back on his word. His decision against a joint ticket with Senator Clinton is ludicrous. This could be a guaranteed way to get us democrats in the whitehouse. His personal arrogance is really showing through. We have had enough of that attitude in the current whitehouse. I now believe his honesty is in question. I really believed he wanted to change current politics. What he has shown me is that he really does not want to work together for good of the democratic party. Obama, I am sooo dissapointed in you! Hillary you now have my vote.

The Clinton machine at it's best. What kind of unfinish business does Bill have left at the white house , that has him trying to get back in so bad.

With General Colin Powell as one of Senator Obama advisor, we will be alright from a military stand point.

Just before Mississippi, why is Mrs. Clinton telling Barack Obama to go to the back of the bus? Why is she such a patronizing, egotistical, narcisist? Hillary, I can't believe I'm saying this, but your vile and despicable campaign are making me actually consider voting for McCain rather than you should you steal the nomination (because that's what it would be at this point — pure theft!!!) I despise the Republican party, but if you are the face of the Democrats, then cancer has eaten too deeply into the party and it's time for it to go and put it out of misery.

Wll the clintons settle for anything less then winning at any cost.

I wonder if they will even phantom to offer him the vp if he was white and ahead with the delgates…ERGGGG

The guy is the front runner for goodness sake…

All of you are forgetting that the had the Michigan and Florida votes been counted by now, Hillary would be ahead – period. Barack would not be the front runner. When the re-do vote is done, it will put Hillary ahead. The leaders are not ignoring this fact and therefore, are suggesting this ticket. In the end, we need to vote Democrat. Its all about the philosophy of the party. These two are very strong and qualified candidates. If not together, it might be tough because, as some of you have expressed, you will waste your vote voting for Nader. But a ticket together could get voters to come out in droves. Go Democrat!

Clinton = Rove = Monsters!

I mean really….This is ridiculous!
Obama is winning right now… Why in the hell would he take number 2
He is number 1 right now…Hillary the question is are you ready to be V.P? (IF HE OFFERS TO YOU) LOL
and too bonnie we don’t need your vote…we will have plenty of crossover voters…you can vote for McCain…Nobody CARES!

Very interesting comment from such distinguish officers and dignitaries. Sen. Obama who is leading in pledged delegates and popular votes is only qualified to be a VP. Just another spin by the Clinton campaign to try and deny the people of America of their choice. After serving honorable in the USMC and have been living and traveling abroad for the past 18 years I must strongly disagree with these back door politics of fmr. Pre. Clinton and his wife. We don't need anymore Clintons or Bushes in the White House for now, its enough. I would also like to point out based on democrats abroad voting results that Sen. Obama won 70% to Hilarys 30%. If she is that good then why isn't she winning?
American Abroad

This would be funny if it wasn't actually beleived by the sheep… now it's just sad and frightening. Clinton Kool Aid.

Why is sexism consdiered a less heinous ism than racism? No one dares attack Obama, but it's ok to use Clinton for a dart board. McCain is going to win and I blame it all on Obama!

You guys are right. He's not ready.

CLINTON/RICHARDSON 2008!!!

What a joke. Hillary needs to seriously consider keeping Bill away from her campaign locations and away from those generals. From the statements they're making it's apparent that someone inhaled. They have no realistic shot of winning the Democratic nomination without stealing it.

Excerpts from Obama’s Remarks in Colubmia, Mississippi

“Both Sen. Clinton and President Clinton repeatedly talked about how I would be a great vice president.” (crowd boos)
“With all due respect, I’ve won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton.” (crowd cheers)

“I’ve won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton.” (crowd cheers)

“I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton.” (crowd cheers)

“So I don’t know how somebody who is in second place is offering the vice presidency to the person who is in first place.” (crowd goes crazy)

“I was just wondering, because if I were in second place I could understand it. But I’m in first place right now.”

“If I’m not ready, how is it that you think I should be such a great vice president?”

“They are trying to hoodwink you….”

“I don’t presume that I have won this election….”

“I want everyone to be absolutely clear: I’m not running for vice president. I’m running for president of the United States of America. . . . I’m running to be commander-in-chief….”

“Don’t think you can get both — you have to make a choice in this election….”

“I do not believe Sen. Clinton is about change. . . . This guide of gamesmanship. . . is the kind of Washington doublespeak and doubletalk that will not solve the problems of this country.”

“Sen. Clinton and Sen. McCain represent the conventional wisdom in Washington….”

utterly offensive

"I'm more interested in the fact that so many more Generals, Major Generals, and prominent military supporters are backing Hillary vs Obama (does he have any?). That speaks volumes more than a catchy ticker headline for me."

They either were appointed by Hillary's husband (you know, the actual Commander-in-Chief) or are trying to get a spot on her cabinet if she manages to fool people into thinking the Clinton/Obama ticket is actually a possibility.

Enough is enough of Hillary and her tactics. I thought her husband was the greatest Preseident in my 41 years, but she is truly vile. She is willing to destroy the opportunity for the Democratic Party to end 8 years of decline, but won't for her own ego. I have always been a yellow dog Democrat, but if she gets the nomination I am sitting this one out.

The media must check her experience for 35 years….Doing What…Helping Wal-Mart…Giving work to Illegal people in this Country, not our own citizens ??? She needs to release the White House documents during the Clinton's era for us (the people) to know exactly what was her role as a first lady.. Or maybe she was running Bill Clinton's presidency….You Never Know… But, will be interesting to check her role as a 1st Lady.

We need someone who cares for the people…that is… OBAMA!

Come on now how can you even write such a dumb article. Last time I checked he is the one winning the race. Why don't you wrtie some facts like Ohio and Texas basically being a wash. How she barely held on after supposedy being p 20% in both places… How about that! You people sound more like highschool kids writing for a Highschool paper then proffessional journalist!

Senator Obama would be made less of a man if he shouldl work under that woman. Look at how she is behaving towards him now!
Never take that offer! If you do not win this time around , you are still young and can try again. But You WILL WIN this time.

I am a Clinton supporter. Obama have gotten better with the debates. His first debate was sad however I have seen his growth.

What craziness. They are only saying this because they were trapped on Meet the Press yesterday–Hillary's camp had to come up with an explanation for their circular reasoning.

And yes, it is also nuts for the person losing the contest to offer the VP slot to the winner.

How can anyone be excited about this candidate?

Hillary says she looking to be "hired." Who in the world responds to a "help wanted" ad by offering a job. Not a sane person, unless it is a Machiavelli.

I think what she is really doing, is trying to make a place for herself as VP when Obama gets the nomination. She knows it is inevitable and she wants the public to demand she be his 2nd. Not the other way around. She doesn't want to be totally out.

This continuation of stalemate politics is a clear sign of times yet to come , no matter which senator receives the DP nomination.

They can't bring about a resolution between their own interests for the health of their party or the chance to win the presidency. The longer this plays out the more evident Clinton's and Obama's inadequacies of uniting this nation.

Wow. Those Clinton tactics are pure genius. Hate to say it but those are really excellent Political moves. If that is what you want, you should vote for Clinton(s). Me? I'm tired of those games. I want someone who won't play that. My fear is that Obama may have to play it in order to stay on top. What a way to corrupt potentials. Never ends.

Why does the HOT TOPICS menu bar only have Hillary Clinton and John McCain 's name on it? Where is Obama's name CNN (Clint News Network)? How about fair and balanced?

There really isn't any… that '35 years' line was the most fluffy, stupid thing I've heard this cycle, so far. She's only ever been elected twice to her current job (7 years experience)… Aside from that, she has photo-op experience, same as Nancy Reagan, La-la 'dead-eyes' Bush, et al., but I might even give her a year or two for that healthcare snafu in the early 90's…

she has zero foreign policy experience (unless you count the Senate as a foreign country), which is to be expected b/c the only place you get that is: 1) as president, 2) in the state dept., or 3) some military jobs… none of which HRC has held. She then tries to claim Bill's experience as her own, which makes her look even more slimy. Perception is not reality, folks… especially Hillary's perception, which to me seems more like delusion.

Doesn't this young woman understand what it means to be an actress? By the age of 17 she should. Just becaue you play a doctor on TV doesn't mean you are one. She's a good argument for raising the voting age to 21!

It's amazing how Hillary Clinton is behind in the polls, yet everyone seems to think she's the front-runner. She can't even manage her husband or campaign, how is she gonna manage America? I don't find it a disability to be a great orator such as Barack. His words inspire so much to the point that he's putting people back in politics. Hillary is grabbing at straws to make anything happen now that she knows her ship is sinking…FAST!!

omg, she tweeked the message…. again.

Pander, pander, pander… It's so comical… like she's selling a used car…

Hillary is such a looser! She wants to run the country, but she cant even run a TV spot.

The sleeping girl wants Obama to answer the phone!

Hahahahahaha

Americans wake up, what experience is Hillary talking about, is being a president wife made you a president, it is high time we started asking Hillary where she acquired her presidential experience from. Moreover, she is talking about someone making speeches and she solution. please help ask her the solution. is she not also making speeches? Hillary don't fool us. you can be Vice President.

If Obama does not win the nomination, my vote is going to McCain. I encourage all other independent voters and Obamacans to join me.

Well Bill is trying everyting he to get back in the white house

Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Ed Rendell comments on Obama's qualification to serve as Commander-in-Chief is comical. Three peas in the same pod calling the kettle black. Obama will do well as Commander-in-Chief. If he serves as skillful as he has managed his campaign, he can't miss.

CNN, please post!

So let me get this straight. Obama is not ready to be President, but he's ready to be VP. That makes no sense. As Bill Clinton said back in 1992, a VP should be ready to take on the duties on the president in the event that he falls out after a week in office (taken from Obama's speech today in MS). So if HRC trusts him to be her VP, why can't he be president? The Clintons think we're dumb, and unfortunately, they'll probably sway some people with this NEW line of thinking. One minute he's not ready and now he is. Her red phone ad just flew out the window. She realized that she screwed herself over by being open to him being VP and at the same time saying he's inexperienced. So now she's saying he'll have enough experience by the time Denver arrives. What a load of crock! I truly hope people will now realize that this woman will say and do anything to get into the White House. She knows that her chances of being president would increase greatly if he's on her ticket. But then, who is she to offer VP to anyone? Last time I checked she wasn't leading in the delegates.

Okee Doke

Is she delusional? Obama is beating her. Who is she to offer him the vp slot? She is crazy and he is presidential. I agree with Gary from Conn., she is starting to seem slightly bipolar.

Holy cow is Hillary's team condescending.

Calling her a monster was picking a word with three letters too many.

Exactly what are Hillary Clinton's qualifications? Are her qualifications 8 years as First Lady? Are her qualifications based on her senate position? I am really flummoxed here? I know one of you really smart people can help me out here. She appears to favor Bush's in your face fast draw politics and has here share of blunders. But what exactly is it that she is so profoundly adept at doing that she could step into the commander-in-chiefs shoes from day one? I just don't get it!

I can't believe people are buying the Clinton/Obama argument. This is just a cheap trick to grab power from behind. A C/O ticket would only serve Billary, it would be political suicide for Obama.
Based on her recent campaign, she is the least qualified of those three for leading this nation.

Hey Mad in Texas, if you look, McCain and Clinton have also missed a ton of votes this year also being that they are on the road running for President. But as usual, people like you hold Obama to a different standard than everyone else. Hmmmmmm… I wonder why that is?

I would lose ALL respect for Obama if he took the VP slot!!!!!
He is the candidate for Change and she is the OLD establishment…..he'd be selling his and our souls…

This is ridiculous on so many levels…

1) The loser suggesting the frontrunner take a back seat…
2) The frontrunner is not good enough for Day 1 but is fine for Day 2

3) The despicable things Hillary has done this far..NAFTA/Canada being the biggest jaw dropper.

MAINLY, Obama can handle himself against the Republicans because he is honest, forthright and deals with integrity.

OBAMA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE CLINTON BAGGAGE. THERE ARE WAY TO MANY LIES, DECEITS AND UNDERHANDED DEALINGS FOR HIM TO DEFLECT AND REMAIN STAIN-FREE.

BILL CLINTON WAS A GOVERNOR WHEN HE BECAME PRESIDENT

THINK ABOUT IT

why is this such a huge story? the girl was hired to play a part. since when does every actor need to hold the same beliefs as the story they are playing in? it's called acting for a reason.

I just can see it now! Hillary's strategy is to convince people that if they vote for her, she will nominate Obama as her VP, because she knows that's the ONLY way she'll get his HUGE following. Once she gets the vote, you'll see her name somebody else saying that Obama was the one who did not want the job! She is probably already thinking about 2012, and with no Obama around her, it's pretty much guaranteed she'll have her second term in the White House

If there is anything we should learn about the Clintons, is that they never say or do anything out of the blue! There's always an ulterior motive.

Ha ha ha. Looks like we are back to Hillary version 1.0. The inevitable nominee. It didn't work for you last time. It won't work this time either.

Don't you have to win the nomination, have a chance to win the nomination or at least have to be leading to make such an arrogant suggestion.

Commader in chief threshhold? What's that? Presiding over tea ceremonies for eight years?

She's such an arrogant jerk. I'm waiting for Hillary to cross the "I'm a democrat" threshhold.

Hillary can't run her campaign but she can run the country ?? Whatever "meds" she is taking I wish she would share.

How more ridiculous could the Hillary and Bill sound suggesting that Obama should join HER ticket as VP, when CLEARLY he is the lead. I believe that all Clinton supporters are beyond delusional to believe that Hillary has all of this "experience". How exactly is that defined? Is it defined as work that you have done as an ELECTED official, or the fact that your husband just happened to be the president for 8 years and you were granted the opportunity to be in the presence of other experienced individuals, given some responsibility, and allowed to help out every now and then. If this is the case, then laura bush should have run along with john mccain, I'm sure she has just as much as "experience" has hillary clinton. Obama really needs to shut her up on this experience thing.
What's even more disgusting is the fact that her camp wants florida and michigan seated. If she was winning, she wouldn't care about their delegates. Wake up US!!! The Clintons are trying to steal the election!!! Let's keep this from happening!
-Obama 08

This is laughable. A campaign manager has the ability to know when Obma will be finally ready to be vice presisdent ( by summer?). This
guy is a moron, cos by his own standard addind more months to your years on earth equals experience. Where on earth does he get that mentality from? mmmmm….. let me think could be HILLARY who is in second place and implying that the person who is ahead should become second isn't that a twisted idea of all time?

If I understand Hillary, after she has succeeded in eroding Obama's support and image sufficiently, she will be able to persuade the Super Delegates and Party Fathers (& Mothers) the he yet would be a great VP candidate; but surely not yet ready to be President. Does anyone believe this crud?
She likewise has so demonized Obama with her own constituents that she intimates they would not support him as a Presidential candidate in NY, CA, AR, OH, TX. I really challenge the idea that the Democrats of those states she won would prefer voting for McCain than for Obama!

IF OBAMA IS WINNING AND SO AHEAD OF HILLARY WHY ARE THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS GETTING UPSET?

HILLARY IS THE BEST ON TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY AND THAT IS A FACT NOT SOME GLORIOUS SPEECH MAKER!

I THOUGHT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS I WILL STILL VOTE WITHIN MY PARTY THIS NOVEMBER. BUT NOW AFTER THE NO VICE PRESIDENCY POSITION STATMENT OBAMA MADE THIS WEEKEND, I WILL NOT. IF HILLARY LOOSES I WILL VOTE MCCAIN.

BOTH HILLARY AND MCCAIN HAVE EXPERIENCE AND IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT PEOPLE KEEP MOCKING THEM. LOOK AT HILLARY AND MCCAIN'S RESUME TOGHETHER WITH OBAMA'S AND IT DOES NOT COMPARE.

GO HILLARY
GO HILLARY
GO HILLARY

I VOTED FOR OBAMA BUT NOW I WANT MY VOTE BACK HEARING HIM TODAY" I JUST NOTICE THE CHANGE IN HIS VOICE NOW THAT HE IS IN Mississippi
“They Are Trying to Hoodwink You” THATS NOT THE WAY MAN ONCE YOUR THE BLACK GUY AND THEN THE WHITE GUY PICK ONE PLEASE

Oh yeah! If we can't beat Obama, maybe he will join us!
Obama is the man.

If you looking to fill an executive position, would you hire the candidate with excellent interviewing skills but no record of achievement?

The performance of her campaign doesn't exactly scream "excellent crisis management skills". Do we really want to see a "kitchen sink" approach to international crises?

Obama is ahead in delegates…so why the speculation on a Clinton-Obama ticket?

If there were to be a joint ticket-the people have spoken…it should be a Obama-Clinton ticket or Obama-??? ticket.

Hillary is dreaming.

To the guy that said earlier that implied that the American people cannot think for themselves, obviously can't…. look at what happened in 2004.

What a crock! Nothing like trying to take peoples minds off the fact that right now you are in SECOND place Hillary. The old saying about tell a lie and tell it often and people may believe it. YOu and Bill are dilluted in the brain. When I see her on TV now I hit "mute" until she is done.

So just because she was a first lady (and not a very good one at all) she thinks she's got a better handle on the job than Obama does? I mean, she couldn't get Bill under control when she was in the White House before – she really thinks she can get a whole COUNTRY under control now? Keep dreaming Hill. Hey, maybe Obama will be nice enough to ask you if he wants YOU as his VP. Somehow, after all the negativity, I doubt it. Better cancel the movers – you're staying put in NY for awhile…

I don't know…, maybe by 2012.

Ha Ha!!

Hillary's only expertise is spin (aka LIES)

MATH ( counting delegates, popular vote, number of states won) is a troubling subject for her, very troubling.

What a joke. Clinton and her paid "Retired Generals" can take a hike. Why would Obama want to join a ticket with Mrs Baggage Claim, so she can blame him for all the foul decisions she makes as president? She has nothing to stand on, she has absolutley NO EXPERIENCE as commander in chief either.

She needs him, he doesn't need her. He has more experience as a leader, has inspirational power, is in tune with America and is an honest human being.

Hilary has bumped her mind and lost her head!!! why would Mr. O want HER on the ticket? What, so she can undermind him at every turn coupled with Bill the womanizer? DON'T THINK SO!!! somebody hs shot her mind and killed he common sense.

Hillary Clinton will be ready on day one to Deceive and Divide the Nation.

No White House for HillBill.

WELL if you look at the two camps ;

the obama camp says do the math . who leads in votes and pledged delegates . ??

HRC's camp needs to present a war and peace sized paper to make there case .

the whole process has to be fair ..

peace

Let me see if I have this right…….the person in second place, with lillte chance of obtaining first place is offering the second seat to the guy in first place. Talk about the audacity of hope.

One of her earth shaking claims…..she 's ready and Obama only has one speech. Her poor judgement and vote has left 4,000 dead Americans, 40,000 wounded Americans, untold numbers of dead and wounded Iraqi's. And….lest we forget a half a trillion dollars in debt.
Not sure how much of that "experience" we can afford?

Hillary lost me forever when she went dirty 2 weeks ago.

The sad thing is, most americans are stupid enough to fall for all of the political tactics the Clintons have been using. Ohio and Texas clearly demonstrated that, although I have a feeling many Republicans in Texas voted for Hillary because they know she is easier to beat than Obama.

Only Billary Clinton in her dilusional or bipolar mind thinks that she is ready to be commander in chief. Not America and these butt-licking surrogates and generals!

Obama has good judgement – these heiffa's has same old washington experience of scum and gutter politics!

VOTE OBAMA!!!

I will vote for a Clinton/Obama ticket or Obama/Clinton. Lets hope they can stand up to McCain and whoever he picks that might be Florida Governor!

People – we need a President strong in National Security and National economy. Stop with rock star fever!!! Take a look at what is really going on in the world.

Lets hope McCain is not smart and picks Powell to be his VP!

The Democratic party will not win in November if they make Hillary Clinton the nominee. Period. She has a poor rating nationally and the Republicans are chomping at the bit to run against her.
The majority of voters will walk away . Hillary Clinton is a divider. She is not what this country needs.

Who voted yes? Clinton
Who voted no? Clinton
Who voted present? Obama

Is that wisdom? No

How long is the media going to put up with the Clinton campaign talking out of both sides of it mouth before you finally just ignore them. Yesterday, Gov. Rendell made a complete fool of himself over the is he or isn't he Commander-in-Chief material spinning. Now we've got Wolfson saying he not qualified now but he will be by November. We need to put these people out of their misery!

Why is Hillary talking of Obama as Vice if she is the one behind votes? I am still waiting for CNN to ask the right questions.

This is the same BS the idot-in-chief started peddling before getting elected to office, but then people's memory is so short, it just doesn' t matter. This attitude of calling solidiers, 'warriors', and calling combating terrorism as catch word of 'War on Terror' is not something a mature democracy does. It's understandable that the spinsters do it, because it's their job, but people actually believing in this kind of idiocy is beyond in comprehension. This is the only developed nation in which this kind of rhetoric wins elections, and that is really sad.

CNN MODERATORS WHO ARE IN EVIDENCE SUPPORTERS OF HILLARY: Do you think it all possible for you to set aside your BIAS for your candidate and post my response to this blog???

The question has NEVER been answered. WHAT EXPEREIENCE IS HILLARY BRINGING TO THE TABLE??? NONE.

In order to have had experience in being a president …YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE BEEN ELECTED AND SERVED AS PRESIDENT!!!

To my knowledge and according to history….Hillary has done neither. CASE CLOSED!!!!

Why a person that is winning should take the second position??? HELLO! Hmmm…. Clintonians again, playing dirty games. I do not think people want to go back to the Clinton’s era in the White House we all need to be reminded about all the things in the last years and think if that is what we want to have. Another Mistake made by the American People…I do not think so…. GO OBAMA!

What unbelievable arrogance on the part of the Clintons!!!

Obama would be committing career suicide to get on a ticket with Hillary and Bill . Everyone knows that Bill will be the VP in Hillary's administration and Obama (or whatever poor sucker has to be her VP designee), would be reduced to pouring tea and making excuses for all of the continuting Clinton scandals and screwups!

Forget it! Since when does a second place candidate ever suggest to the first place candidate that the first place candidate should be second place on a ticket? I can't believe the sheer hubris of the Clintons!

What an absurd joke………………

This article is laughable…..CNN! Get the message. You are not Clinton's personal press secretary…At least try to appear unbiased…You are not fooling anyone. Between this article and the one entitled "CLINTON-OBAMA HEAD SOUTH"…I guess you are doing what you can to seat them as a team …with of course Clinton in the front of the bus…as one of your talking heads so clearly stated on Larry King….

We are not stupid!

Obama has won more states, more popular votes, more delegates.
With the scheme of things why should Obama be the VP? I thought the elections were all about the American people. This indicates once again that the Clinton's are about power and personal ambition.

Wake up American People

Seriously, what does this mean?Hillary can't have it both ways. This is going to backfire on her. And, if anyone was watching Obama speak in Mississippi, he had an amazing response to this. I also it is arrogant of Hillary to offer the person in 1st place in the race the Veep position…Daschle commented on this yesterday on the Meet the Press.

THE SAD THING IS SHE HAS NOT WON. I DON'T FEEL IF SEN. OBAMA WIN HE IS GOING TO ASK HER TO BE HIS VP AND SHE SHOULD FORGET ABOUT HIM BEING HERS VP. IF BY SOME CHANCE SHE WINS, SHE'LL BE THE ONLY PRESIDENT WITH TWO VP'S, WITH HER PRES. HUSBAND TRYING TO RUN US TO THE GOUND AS WELL. SHE HAS HER NERVE. HER CLOSET IS FULL OF ., GOD ONLY KNOW.. THE THREE FACES OF EVES CONTINUE TO SHOW UP AND HER STAFF ARE THE SAME AS WELL, VERY UGLY. THEY SHOULD UNDERDTAND SHE MAY NOT BE ON NO ONES TICKETS. YES WE CAN!!

Leave it to the Clintons, Spin spin spin. The reality is that we survived with W for the last eight years, and Idoubt that Brittany Spears go do a worse job. Seem Clintons as always lack the reality of the race, The dems have spoken and so far you not our choice.

This is about the dumbest scare tatic. and the largest potential risk for the dems. Look what this mesages says, If Clinton dosnt get the nomination, your opening the door for Mcain. How dumb are you Hilary. Wake up. And Bill stay out of it. Were sick of you politics.

Did Sen. Obama vote "no" to the war in 2002? Many, many of us found in 2002 that it was wrong to get into the Iraq war, but like Sen. Obama, we did not vote.

So is this where the Obama whiners meet. He has no real record people and has some real issues not on the ballot. I'll vote McCain before i vote this guy. So let's all hear it for Obama's whine, sniffle, pity party boy approach!

**The arrogance of the Clinton campaign is remarkable.

1. Last time I checked, Obama was in the lead.
2. And didn't he have the judgment to vote *against* the war?
etc.

Ah well…I'm going to let this one go and get back to phone banking….

OBAMA 08 & BEYOND
YES WE CAN.

So let me get this straight… Obama is not ready to be president as of right now, but he may be ready to be VP by the time Denver rolls around. Obama is not going to pick up much more "experience" between now and Denver. So is Hillary really saying that Obama does in fact have enough "experience"? VP is #2 and as Obama just pointed out in his speech in MS, Bill Clinton stated in 1992 that a VP should be ready to be president in the event that something happens to the president after only a week. So essentially, one can take from this that Obama is IN FACT ready to be president. Why is this woman still trying to paint him as inexperienced? Neither one of them will gain executive experience before entering the White House. She has just admitted that he's competent and he'll be ready on DAY ONE. Oh wait, he's not ready yet. He'll be ready by summer time after she's "seasoned" him. HILARIOUS!

I use to back Clinton. After her repulican like slander campaign, I can't stand her!!!

Will Obama be ready by summer or is the real question, will Hillary be ready by summer to drop out of the race? Really I should be congratulating you Hillary, congrats on proving that political connections is all it really takes to get a story coming from multiple fronts and to run for president. Maybe this is why people are looking for a change? Someone who has had to fight for every vote and every state (not just the ones that will always go dem. in the general election but carry a lot of votes for nomination). The truth is Obama can win the general election with or without Hillary, can the reverse be said? If she wants to attract voters she has to stop being such a *itch.

From an over 50 Midwest white woman:

How can we trust the judgement of a campaign and candidate who insinuates that her opponent is not ready to lead the country, then turns around and suggests he would be a good running mate?

Which part of the message are we to believe?

The notion about Obama not being ready now, but may be ready by August begs the question….Just how ready will he be by January 2009?

When I think about someone with good judgement, I don't think of the name Clinton.

Trust…good judgement….Obama.

At this point anything coming out of the Clinton Camp is no longer suprising. I must admit earlier accusations, of Obama's inexperience, charges of his campaign being a fairytale. The plagarism inuendo, Naftagate, and everything else in between and now Clinton would like to offer the presumptive front runner VP on her ticket? Give Me A Break folks! I'm just exhausted with all of this double speaking. Would someone with some sense and honor explain to me how one changes w/in the course of 2-wks to offering a Vice Presidency to someone who in their own words in not fit enough to pick up the red phone in the white house at 3:00 a.m. in the time of crisis? There is too much duplicity and negative speaking from Clinton Period. I'll certainly be glad when the general election finds both McCain and OBama there. Perhaps then there will at least be something new for folks to talk about.

I can't believe people are voting for this woman. Ready by summer time? How would being in a presidential campaign prepare you for commander in chief? I am so confused. I would like some of the Hillary supporters to fill me in on how the years he has served in public office didn't prepare him for commander in chief but a presidential campaign will prepare him? Serious help me understand this!

You know, I don't think the Hillary campaign is as bad as probably when the first weeks of February. I think they're doing good, to be honest. Buty I do gotta give props to Hillary beccause she does make the ladies look good! I mean, look at her, she's snappin, LOL!!! I'm not going to lie, Hillary does make ALL ladies look good when she's out there. I'm telling you, ALL women in this generation can easily hypnotize a man, they're slick now, LOL!!! Yep, you just can't stay away from their beauty…..LOL!!!

I could help him get ready – give me your phone number Barak, and I will call you every night a 3:00am – this way you will be ready!

She is RIGHT!!!

I would have to vote for McCain over Obama. He is NEVER going to win Ohio and he will lose if he becomes the nominee bc Floridans will also not vote for him. One day he probably could be a good President but that day is not any day soon.

God, the Clintons are so despicable. They have absolutely no soul and no morals.

If they think he's ready to be Commander in chief by the summer, then that surely undermines the Clinton's negative campaign against his inexperience?

So are they now saying he is experienced enough?

Obama could choose Hillary as his VP if he can't finsh her off in PA.

Reminds me of JFK and Johnson in 1960.

this attitude of condescension is totally despicable.
i SO hope voters will stop this lady from doing more harm to the campain.

She's the man and am ready for a woman president. Go OBAMA. First "woman" president.

I do not see how Obama could be vice-president if he is not qualified or experienced enough to take the 3:00 am call. Hillary should take Pennsylvania's Gov. Ed Rendell as her running mate.
Although Hillary has worn larger states, Obama has worn a few Red states, which is more important. Moreover, Obama has more pledge delegates. He has the voice of the majority of Americans.

Hillary Clinton is a confused individual who should not be entrusted with either the Presidency or Vice-presidency of America.

This is unbelievable. She is talking like she already has it. FACT CHECK, The bottom line is this: Hillary needs Obama more than Obama needs Hillary. If Obama gets the nomination, he doesn't need Hillary as V.P. but if Hillary gets the nomination, everyone is saying that she needs Obama. Obama is ready and is able to be Commander in Chief. Simple as that.

Obama '08

Obama ia winning!! Why should he be V.P? Does anybody need any more evidence of Clinton double-speak? They want to try to fool people into voting for Hillary by making them think that they would get both candidates. We all remember that Bill and Hillary are very comfortable lying to the people!! We can't afford the lies anymore!

Obama! Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO THINGS:

1) The #2 candidate is offering the #1 candidate a spot on her ticket as #2???? HAS HILLARY DONE THE MATH?

2) HILLARY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT WHILE RUNNING FROM THE LAW IN THE LAWSUIT OF "PAUL V. CLINTONS!

DOESN'T THIS SOUND LIKE A CRAZY WOMAN? WHERE ARE HILLARY'S MEDICS?!!!

Typical Obama supporter scum bag — willing to say anything for whatever purpose. Hmmm, sounds like Obama himself.

Stop your wishfull thinking Wolfson Obama is ahead in delegates ahead in popular vote. This is a guy who inspired young, old, men, women, white, black, asians. Never in history of united states did we see a turn out of people partispating like this. have you ever seen obama speak?. Now you are trying to say he will be good as a VP under clinton what an insulte. Go hide wlfson with your boss hillary the evil . Obama is going to be our 44th president and he will turn every thing around.

She first need to show she is an example . Since she left the white house she never filled her taxes. She knows taxes are important for the economy…. I think she does not care…. Wake up guys…!!! What game she would like to play…???

This HOOPLA has me thinking. How would HIllary Clinton like it if President Obama announced, "Hey, she could be my pick for Supreme Court Justice.". That would be a favor. She would only have to be confirmed by a small amount of her friends in congress. The ones of course who think she has so much experience.

What exactly is Senator Clinton's experience on foreign matters?Travelling around the world attending parties as First Lady does not make a foreign policy expert.The only election Senator Clinton won was in 2000 when she was elected to the Senate from New York. Senator Obama served in the IL State Legislature for 7 years prior to his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004. So, voters, remember Senator Obama has more experience in government than she does. Being the wife of a President or a Governor does not make you one, too.

I use to have respect for Hilary but in the last month or so she has shown so many different sides to her personality. It leads me to believe she will say or do anything to get this nomination. She just doesn't seem sincere. She has a lot of gall to suggest Obama be her VP when he is leading in in this race.

Good! Cuz by then he would've clinched the remaining delegates and be the Democratic nominee! What is wrong with these people?? From now until Puerto Rico, I suggest they stay away from any conference calls or making stupid statements. With each comment they lose a vote

These people are ridiculous, and if you can't see that, you are a blind Hillarite. They are attempting to marginalize another member of their own party in order to weaken him enough that, at least in their own twisted minds, the superdelegates will have no choice but to select her as the nominee.

And if Barack still gets it? Well then they hope to cut him enough that McCain wins, and Hillary comes in to save the day in 2012.

When this all started, I, as well as my wife, would have voted for Hillary if she gets the nom. Sorry, but I cannot in good conscience vote for her under any circumstances, and I can tell you my wife feels the same way. Lying, cheating, stealing, are we talking about the Bush Administration or the Clintons?

It doesn't matter, as they are one in the same.

I quess Obama supporters are right Obama does fight back.

He definitely attacked Maureen Dowd for making fun of his BIG EARS.

HE ISSUE A THREAT TO HER. SHE DIDN'T MAKE A 3AM AD.

OBAMA CAN'T EVEN HANDLE PEOPLE MAKING FUN OF HIS BIG EARS.

Obama told Maureen Dowd, "I'm sensitive about my ears…." He

sound like John Kerry. Commander In Chief I think not!

This is fact. Look it up.

Senator Obama isn't running for Vice President and it is disingenuous of Senator Clinton to suggest it, especially as she is behind in the delegate count. More politics as usual. Let's vote for change.

That doesn't suprise me, thje Clintons think that they should have the presidency when they are losing the elections. The people who have voted for Obama think differently and he is winning, not the Clintons
Hitlery: we think you should VP and not presdent, join us and that is what we will do together.
Obama: I wantto be president, and I'm winning the elections not you and no I won't be VP to you, you moron, what is wrong with you people anyway?

I'll let Obama train to be C-I-C all the way up to Nov. 5. Then I'm going to vote for him again!

Obama needs Clinton more than Hillary needs Barack. Obama made the comment that he doesn't need Hillary supporters. That's absurd. He is losing NJ, FL, NV, NM, MI, OH without her. You will need to steal enough red states to make up 90 votes. Winning the states Al Gore won in 2000 plus AR will be enough to take the W.H. OH and FL will be pluses. Obama needs to think about it. He will have a better chance to be the next president. Winning the primary but losing the GE will hurt the country more than help. If he is for the change, then he has to do what is best for the country.

It's going to be Obama/??? or Clinton/Obama.

Get used to it.

Well said, Joe Ballard. This is the reality that so many are blind to see. Obama should be honored that Hillary is offering him the vice president position. I think that it would be an insult to black and white women if Obama became president and Hillary was vice president. Hillary has far more experience than Obama.

What a gal. so truthful and good and blah blah blah.

Hate her voice. Hate her cackle. She is smiling now
because she thinks her and Bill's lies are working.

OBAMA 2008. No to Vice Pres. under THE CLINTON CLAWS.

So basically what the Clintonista's are saying is that the voters are dumb and they know who and what is best for you.

Millions of Obama voters and supporters you are being sold down the river by the entrenched political establishment, Obama is going to win the popular vote and the delegate count, but the election is going to be stolen from him "for the good of the party" and he will "have to wait his turn".

You will then be EXPECTED to vote for Hillary NO QUESTIONS ASKED, as you need to do "as you are told".

Hillary is indeed "Ready to mislead from day one".

The gall of this woman is unreal! Obama is ahead in delegates, ahead in the popular vote and she is talking VICE presidency? Here is what the DNC needs to know…that alot of Obama support is independant and ANTI – Hillary. We go Mc Cain if she gets the nod.

How can anyone with half a brain still want to vote for Clinton–if you support her, please explain why. First she says that Obama would be a good vice-president but is not qualified to be president. When reporters point out the obvious , that the vice-president is a heart beat away in case the president is unable to serve their term, she then says that Obama would be ready by summer. Huh? What will happen in the next few months to change her opinion of Obama? Also, if she thinks he can be commander-in-chief by summer, then logically he can be the Democratic presidential nominee. Is she really the person Clinton supporters think is the best choice as president of our nation?

Hillary Clinton has been a legislator for 6 years. Obama has been a legislator on the state level and national level for a total of 11 years. He has more experience in elected office. She adds the fact that she has been married to a governor and a president. I dont think thats right because the electorate does not hold the spouses of elected officials accountable for not making good on campaign promises.

First of all, this is for the American public to decide not Senator Clinton. Obviously she is going to say this since she has an interest at stake. But what is stupid about the comment is that you're preaching that he is not qualified to be president, but you want him as vice-president? A Vice president has to be ready to take over the office as president at any point. What if she, in some stroke of miracle, becomes president and drops dead on day one. It's silly. And considering where she is delegatewise she better hope Obama offers her the position. After the way she has treated him, and divided her party, I hope he sends her right back to the Senate.

Clinton has adopted the Karl Rove playbook in her methods and content. Just when it seemed the people might prevail in the election.

THAT'S the spirit Hillary!

Ok now when did the Clinton camp get to be the monitor and have authority of who was or was not ready to bew Chief. This continues to show that they are using mind games and thier little form of trickery to do anything to win. America, I am sure you are not that stupid to fall for that crap the Clintons are issuing out.

By the way, at last count, Obama has the lead. Hillary is showing that she is defintely bipolar

It's clear that the Clinton team are now in deep denial or cracking up and need medical help

From what we are reading now about her management style (or lack of) and being unable to organize her cabinet of campaign staff, I hate to think of what sort of government she would run.

She cannot even unite a few friends/cronies, let alone a unite a country.

I was neutral a few weeks ago, but Clinton & Co are out of control.

It has to be Obama.

What exactly is the "test" to which Clinton refers? Who put together the questions and could we see her test results?

Okay, I'm a huge Hillary supporter, but even I find Wolfson's statement to be absurd. Hillary would do well to fire Wolfson for this and many, many other idiotic comments he has made recently.

This is outrageous. Obama has brilliant judgement, especially next to McCain and Clinton (who's recent records on so-called nat'l security are ridiculously alike).

Saying that Hillary has foreign policy experience is the same as saying Yoko Ono was a Beatle.

Why is it the the latest article of the Enquirer and other sources about the Secrets of Abama have not been discussed by CNN. Why is it the only news station to talk about the article is FOX NEWS?

The Clinton campaign should write comedy scripts for Saturday Night live. The comedy is about that funny and about that bad.

It is time for the Clintons to realize we live in a democracy.
It is not up to Bill and Hillary to decide whether Obama is ready or not. It is up to the voters. Why should I trust her judgment on the issue?

Dear "Mad in Texas"

What?????????

Go do some research people you mouth off……….

This must be some kind of joke. Who is Wolfson or anyone else in Hillary's campaign to make this judgment anyway? Just let us decide that.

This headline is deceptive and ridiculous. Obama is the leader in the delegate count, popular vote, and states won. Does it really matter what the Clinton campaign is suggesting when she is behind?

You make it sound as if the public is unsure about Obama and they need a statement from the Clinton campaign to legitimize Obama's candidancy. Does the Clinton's opinion of Obama really matter that much? I believe Obama has done a remarkable job of explaining to the people of this country what kind of President he would make.

You should change your headline to, "Front runner Obama receives tacit endorsement from Clinton campaingn"

Bill says he'd be a good, Wolfson says he wouldn't. Glad everyones on the same page.

What a ridiculous statement. How about Hillary grows up and stops trying to have the rules molded to fit her needs and step aside and let the grown-ups campaign. Way to cover Hillary.

What experience does Hillary have with foreign crises? And while he might make a great VP, he will make an even better President. With the lead in delegates, it appears he will be the one evaluating who might make a good VP. If Hillary wants a position after all this in the fall, she may want Bill and the parrot generals to start making a case for her VP qualities.

If Obama is not ready to be commander in chief, why do the Clinton campaign needs him so desparately for VP post. Why don't they choose McCain, after all, he has been endorsed by Hillary Clinton

Everytime a Clinton talks it makes we want to vomit.

she's just trying to make sure that Obama asks her to be the VP since it is all but sure that he will have more delegates, unless ofcourse she can wrestle away his pledged delegates… and i'm sure no one will be curious of what corrupt measures she plans to use in order to make that a possibility.

at least her campaign is providing comic relief.

CNN, they never said Obama will be ready to be Commander in Chief by the summer, but that he might be ready to be a VP by that time.

Please, stick to the facts and please confront Obama on the issues, "a reality check on Obama's experience on foreign policy and accomplishements"

Or are you still showing a bias that is favoring Obama

HILLARY – Commander -in- Chief of The United States of America

The gall of this woman is unreal! Obama is ahead in delegates, ahead in the popular vote and she is talking VICE presidency? Here's is what the DNC

Playing both sides huh? First, to get Obama's votes you suggest he would make a great VP. Then when you realize that being qualified for VP means being qualified for president, you shift and say "well, he's not ready to be VP yet but could be by the convention." I swear, do you have any shame? On second thought, never mind.

I know her staff is just doing everything they can to get her elected, BUT, has anyone ever considered the possibility that Senator Clinton is bipolar? It's a condition that might help to explain her actions at times. Seriously, we keep hearing about Senator McCain's refusal to subject his medical records to public scrutiny;however, I haven't heard anything about hers.

As for Gen Ballard – I served over twenty years, two with him. He's the kind of military leader you write books about; Catch-22, MASH, Hogan's Heroes, etc.

Clinton's camp would like to distract voters. Clinton is not ready to be commander in Chief. Its simple: How many delegates she got…? She is worried about her loosing campaign….
Let people decide who they want as a president…

Talk about experience:

McCain has more and better experience than Hillary
Hillary has more bagged than McCain
Hillary is more diversive than MCain
McCain will win more Independents and Regan Dems than Hillary

Therefore, with Hillary as potential nominee, the Dems have lost this election again, thanks to the Clintons!

I really believe that Ms. Clinton is insane and should contact a doctor.

She is NOT qualified – she has not been fully vetted (no tax returns and she is in the current Peter Paul vs. Clintons lawsuit regarding fraud).

When will the media STOP giving her air time to push her spin and lies?

This makes no SENSE AT ALL. So he'll be ready by Denver??? So why not make him the candidate since he's winning in popular vote, states. and delegates. ANOTHER FLIP-FLOP BY CLINTON

Sen. Clinton…

You DO NOT dictate my choice for President, so please stop with the madness. It only makes YOU look all the more desperate by the minute.

Hillary Clinton NEEDS the "Dream Ticket" to win, Obama does not.

Hillary Clinton NEEDs Florida and Michigan to revote, Obama does not.

Obama is in First Place, Hillary Clinton is in Second Place.

Hillary Clinton and her campaign, husband, daughter, and supporters are swinging all all costs, even if it's giving John McCain a great advantage.

Please STOP!

Hillary and Bill can dream all they want.
The people will decide.
Math is against Hillary.
If they insist, they will implode the Democratic Party.

The Clintons' dream ticket is Hillary/Bill or vice versa.
No more Clinton or Bush!

what kind of experience is Hillary talking about. Has she ever been a president before?. I believe the only people with experience in this position is JIMMY CARTER, GEORGE H BUSH, BILL CLINTON AND PERHAPS GEORGE W BUSH. Do she mean to tell the American people that if your husband is surgeon, that certainly gives you an experience in surgery, THAT IS BELONEY.PLEASE WE ARE DYING TO LOOK AT YOUR RESUME PERHAPS SHE IS LIVING IN A DIFFERENT WORLD WHERE SHE SERVED AS A PRESIDENT

You have got to be kidding… I hope voters realize how false this argument is against Obama. He has shown the judgment on foreign policy that she has not. She has done nothing more than him as far as experience… give a speech to China is all that she did. She did not even have a national security clearance. All this shows is that Clinton talks out of both sides of her mouth… he is ready, no he is not. Well, maybe by next summer he will be ready… This shows that the one who is not ready is Hillary Clinton.

Can someone please point me to all of Senator Clinton's alleged "foreign policy experience"? We have learned, from those who negotiated the Irish Peace Accords, that Senator Clinton was never involved in the negotiations. We have learned that the Belfast meeting Senator Clinton allegedly organized was a standing meeting of the parties that she happened to visit.

We have witnessed Senator Clinton disparge Russia's former leader, at a time when Russian influence in various troubled regions could aid the US.

We have witnessed Senator Clinton repeatedly falsely claim the 9/11 terrorists came to the US through Canada, and, just recently, thrown the Canadian government under the bus.

Is this the foreign policy expertise Senator Clinton will bring to office?

Boy, she's one to talk about foreign experience. I'll take Obama's foreign judgement over her experience any day. Who voted for the war?? Not Obama.

Looks like the Clinton campaign is getting delusional again. Acting as if they are the front runner. Let me remind you:
-You have less delegates.
-You have less states won.
-You are going to end up losing the Texas delegates once they count the caucus.

You might be able to fool the uneducated and senior citizens…but you can't fool the rest of us. Give it up…concede…beg Obama for the VP job. He might want to give it to you in order follow the adage: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

The runner-up is asking the FRONTRUNNER to be vice-president. Talk about the definition of "presumptuous." Is she serious? That'd be like asking the New York Giants to forfeit the Super Bowl with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter!

They have a point. Obama wants to go straight to the top without going up the ladder. HE'S NOT READY. Those that believe he is is just as naive as he is.

hey, there's a test to see if you're qualified to be the "commander-in-chief"? Cool! Where can I sign up? and… who'd W cheat off of?

BTW, Hillary, no means no! You're chances are dwindling daily, short of resorting to outright theft…

If anything ever happened to Hillary, that would make Obama commander in chief, something she says he's not qualified to do. Her hipocracy is disgusting and any democrat who compares herself to John Mccain and says that even he is more qualified then Obama should not be elected into office as it just goes to show that she will do or say anything to win the nomination. If she compares herself to Mr Mccain now how will she differentiate herself from him if she won the nomination? Think people she will only seperate democrats not bring them together.

Are her and her people serious?!?! So in a few more months he will be "ready" for VP? Ridiculous!!

Are her and her people serious?!?! So in a few more months he will be "ready" for VP? Ridiculous!!

What a joke…. leave it to the Clintons to dictate who I WANT for President. There is no level lower then this… I mean Sen. Clinton my really take the American voters for fools, like we can't think or come to our own decisions by ourselves.

It's one thing for HER to be indecisive, but it's definitely NOT my problem.

I KNOW who the best candidate is and it's NOT her! It's as simple as that.

Do people at Clinton camp have GED?

I'm sorry this is ridiculous. Barack Obama is not qualified to be President of the United States and Commander in Chief. National Security is the first responsibility of the President under the Constitution. In fact the main purpose of the Federal Government as designed by the founding fathers was to provide for the "common defense."

Barack Obama could have positioned himself better on this issue, could have prepared himself better during his time in Congress but didn't. Hillary if she gets the nomination needs a Southerner or a Westerner with strong national security and very importantly economic security background to make the best team and maybe get a couple of those red states.

Of course Bill is there too and whatever his other "issues", he did not bankrupt us with an endless war and he balanced the budget which the Republicans always talked about but never did.

Her whole campaign is a joke! Will she be ready by summer? Please tell us when she crossed the "commander and chief test." What the hell is that anyway? It is so funny because they just make stuff up as they go along. The sad thing is they begin to say it so much that they start believing what they are saying. The only problem is that their own candidate doesn't meet this standard that they knock Obama for.

I don't get why this matters at all. So what… so what if someone produced a commercial years ago when she had no political opinion? This is ridiculous. I don't know how people could possibly care at all about this… I guess it's the news media's way of trying to bury Clinton further. It's pathetic.

Do the Clintons REALLY think that the American voters are THAT STUPID?? It is so ridiculously obvious that Hillary thinks she may be able to pull off a win if she promises that Obama will be on the ticket. If these imbeciles think that Obama could be ready by Denver, well, then, obviously he'd be ready to be President too. What a joke. Give it up Hillary already.

Neither HIllary or Barack is qualified to be commander in chief, has significant meaningful foreign policy experience or is ready to answer the phone at 3 am when compared to John McCain. The battle over experience and readiness plays into the hands of McCain who, whether you like him or not, has far more experience and readness in all political and defense arenas than Clinton and Obama put together. The more they talk along these lines, the stronger the case for McCain is.

Hillary and Barack should take a good look at what McCain is doing right now: visiting US allies abroad. He is actually doing foreign relations work. The more I watch what Hillary is doing the more I wonder if she is campaigning for McCain or herself.

The failed run of Gen. Wesley Clark trying to get new life as a future VP or Joint Chiefs of Staff leader or Secretary of Defense. How pathetic!

What's up with Retired Generals trying to speak for Hillary? For a candidate who claimed to have found her voice in New Hampshire, her voice sures sounds very deep and manly!

Oh CNN..just continuing to show your bias by throwing whatever lame thing Howard Wolfson says on the ticker. Just cause HRC has some of her husband's military stooges with her doesn't make her a more qualified candidate. Going to Kosovo with Sinbad and Crowe doesn't mean squat. Did they tell the poor people jokes and sing "I wanna soak up the sun" to raise their spirits?

Oh yes she gave a speech in China. Speeches are something HRC has clearly stated means nothing in the world of politics. CNN i know HRC is your dream president, but get your heads out of the Clinton back side and start preparing to salute president Obama and his choice for VP…(sorry it won't be HRC)

The man is ready now.
These Clintons are really pathetic.

I've never seen such political contortioning and ridiculous attempts at rationale in my life.

I'm an Obama supporter, but every time Bill Clinton or the media mention this nightmare ticket I move a little closer to switching to John McCain.

If Obama shares a ticket with Hillary, regardless of who tops it, it would violate all that he claims to stand for. If he consents to be her running mate, he'll lose my vote for any office, including the presidency, that he runs for in the future, forever.

Like many independents, I prefer Obama, but I'd be okay with either an Obama or a McCain presidency.

Hillary Clinton needs to get out of the race so the Democrats can start focusing on the real target. The numbers don't lie…..

After crunching the numbers from RCP Obama wins if he averages just 46.4% percent of the remaining pledged and unpledged delegates. He will go over the halfway threshhold while Clinton can not if she doesn't get at least 59.5% of the remaining delegates. If Michigan and Florida end up revoting the numbers change slightly (because the number needed to win increases) with Obama needing just 47.4% and Clinton needing at least 56.9% of all remaining delegates.

If Obama gets any higher than the 46.4% in any state the the less percentage of delegate he will need. If Clinton gets and less than the 59.5% the percentage needed goes up for her and so on.

The race is basically over and this is why the Clintons are begging for the SPLIT TICKET. Clinton needs it, Obama does not. Clinton needs Michigan and Florida, Obama does not. Let's end this mess because the numbers don't lie.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA…PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT. PERIOD. THE DEMOCRATS BETTER THINK ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO WILL VOTE RPUBLICAN IF THIS GUYS RUNS IN ANY FORM OR FASHION.

Barack Obama still has more popular votes, more delegates and more states than Hillary.

SO HOW IN THE WORLD, somebody in the number two position would offer the person in the number one position the number two position.

Unbelievable!!!

I am so sick and tired of Monster Clinton's tactics I am almost ready to jump ship and vote for McCain. This whole Obama isnt ready but will be in a few months is about as ridiculous a Clinton ploy as the other one that surfaced today with her stating that pledged delegates can switch support. Is there nothing this woman wont do to win . It is beyond competitve to complusive and divisive. There is no way America wants this type of person in the Presidents chair, including Democrats. I am stunned and I used to be a solid Clinton supporter. I certainly liked Bill but this imposter has got to be stopped before the White House goes to John McBush. I even like McCain better than this self centered, party destroying candidate. I hope Pennsylvania, and all the other remaining states including Michigan and Florida if they get called in for a re-do to start the chant " The witch is dead, the witch is dead" and end her misery and let the change that America is wantingly seeking emerge and lead the Democrats in November.

Obama has spoken in response telling Hillary "if you feel I'm reading to be V.P. then why did Bill say when he picked a V.P. he would pick someone who would be ready on day 1 if something happened to the President". We voters are voting for Obama as President not V.P. Does this mean Hillary is dismissing our vote because Obama is beating her in delegates and the popular vote.

How much is hillary paying these guys to say she has more and more experience. Like in what? Going to presidential dinners cause CNN has exposed this woman as a complete liar on the experience issue. Come on people shake your head if your thinking of voting for her. Man, I was a president in a community program and I probably have more experience than her. If you haven't guessed by now who do you really think will be calling the shots if she's elected. Daaa. Ol Bill.

Are you kidding me?!? Talk about straddling the fence. They want to attack Barack while leaving the door open to reconciliation. After everything they have put him through, I think that train left the station a long time ago.

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My question…
EXACTLY WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE ON FOREIGN POLICY???
HAS HE EVEN BEEN TO IRAQ????
HILLARY HAS BEEN THERE 3 TIMES…..PLUS OTHER COUNTRIES…PLUS OTHER CREDENTIALS I WON'T MENTION AS THEY ARE TOO MANY……
HAS HE DONE ANYTHING OTHER THAN STANDING ON A PODIUM ON STREE CORNER TO PROTEST THE WAR???
I AM SO SICK OF HEARING HIMT ALK ABOUT HIS GOOD JUDGEMENT ON THE WAR….HE WASN'T EVEN IN CONGRESS FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!
IS THAT ALL HE HAS AS CREDENTIALS, BECAUSE IT SURE SEEMS LIKE IT.

WHY WOULD SO MANY GENERALS BACK HILLARY IF THEY DIDN'T TRUST HER??? I MEAN SERIOUSLY – THEY AREN'T STUPID ENOUGH TO BACK SOMEONE WHO COULDN'T HANDLE IT……SO FRUSTRATING….
SHE IS TOUGH AND WE NEED THAT.
HE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A GO TO BOY FOR THE SENATORS WHO BACK HIM – SO MUCH FOR NEW POLITICS!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the Mccain and Clinton Generals are so good at determing who is the better Commander and Chief why has that same good JUDGMENT not helped us win the wars in Afghanastan and Iraq?? Don't they have something to do overseas or all they nothing more than paid politicians appearing on TV??? I'm sure that all of our fighting forces can use all the help they can.

It's all a set up.

Obama for President 08

Hillary Clinton is a piece of work. She's still behind in the delegate count yet she's talking about Obama being her VP? Perhaps she's counting on cheating to get the votes in Florida and Michigan seated so she can steal this election like Bush stole the Presidency in 2000.

Hillary Clinton is a liar and a criminal. It's remarkable that she has raised so much money this year. I'm wondering if she has again commtted campaign fraud.

Hillary Clinton should be rotting in prison with Aaron Tomkin and Peter Paul.

Obama '08

Clinton needs Obama more than Obama needs Clinton.
She is consistently changing her perspective and will change her perspective if it doesnt benefit her.
Obama is ready on day one.

If Clinton cheats the system, I will note vote for her.

Obama said today he rather split the party at the convention
then join a joint ticket. I now can see his true colors. Iam glad to see Hillary is willing to compromise.
Go Hillary we can see how you can meet in the middle.

Obama needs to take back the dialogue. This " experience" issue is exactly what most democratic voters don't want. Same old politics as usual, same lies, same drama.

I'm more interested in the fact that so many more Generals, Major Generals, and prominent military supporters are backing Hillary vs Obama (does he have any?). That speaks volumes more than a catchy ticker headline for me.

The Clinton campaign is completely twisted! Having Ed Rendell represent you is bad enough (he's dumb as all h3ll). I hope Obama doesn't pick her for VP.

I have one question for Hillary…How can you pick Obama as your VP while he is ahead in delegetes and popular votes???
If he is not ready for president why can you pick him as a VP. If anything ever happen to the president isn't the VP the president???
Please stop the mix message and follow the inspiration and "The Audacity of Hope"

The Clinton campaign continues to descend into the dirty politics that so puts off voters. Is there a single reporter in the country who will challege Senator Clinton on the inconsistancies in her own statements:

35 years of public service she says. How did she get to be a multi-mil;lionaire ? Why does she expect our vote if she will cont be open about her finances?

She will stop the flow of jobs out of the US. There is an 800 pound gorilla called the Super Tanker contract taking thousands of jobs to France. Not a word from Senator Clinton about how she would repond to that were she president now. It's not 3am but the phone is ringing and she is ignoring it.

Why should we?

More to the point, why do you ?

This is the most ridiculous crap I have ever heard of. Did the Clinton Camp get the memo? Obama is not running for Vice President;
In fact, Obama is winning the race for Presidency.

Are the Clinton folks playing Psychology with people? I wonder?

That's the only way the USA is possible, under a Democratic Government.

Obama as Vice President. Otherwise, Hillary should jump ship.

What is this "commander in chief test"? Where can I take it? Is it like the GRE, or maybe the foreign service exam?

This mythical test is a desperate farce. Clinton is desperate.

It's so good of Hillary to let Mr. Obama know exactly when he will be qualified to be a president. I'm certain Obama, as does the world, appreciates Hillary's profound wisdow with such issues.

Puh-leez

In other news, Mike Huckabee says McCain would make a good vice presidential candidate under a Republican ticket headed by Huckabee.

If the claim is that Clinton must see Obama as ready to be commander-in-chief because she is willing to have him on the ticket with her as vice, then Kerry sees McCain as ready to be commander-in-chief as well. So I guess Kerry broke the “rules” when he extended this invitation to McCain and he recommends him for president, so I guess that means that Kerry has endorsed Obama and McCain.

I can't believe the reporter on cnn just called that a strong response when it was the exact same thing he keeps doing. Approve this and let the truth go on the page.

This is what my competition has done wrong
This is what I want to do
This is what I did not do

NOTHING about what he has done

Don't count bills you were put on at the last minute to take credit for.
SAY WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
WHY SHOULD YOU BE HIRED FOR THE JOB AS PRESIDENT?
Why is that a hard question to answer? Fill in the empty blank Obama.
I don't understand why this isn't being pushed for an answer when it is 100% imperative when hiring someone for a job to know this.
Common sense, answer the question straight up.

Let me enlighten you to some of the facts. Obama has won more states, more delegates, more of the popular vote, and more money than Hillary Clinton. There is no reason for anyone to start casting Obama as VP. This is ridiculous.

What arrogance! The second place person is looking at putting the first person as a VP? She is lucky if he even considers her on his short lists of VP's! I believe she would do a great job in a position that needs "an attack dog" mentality. How about the interrogators at Guantanamo?

This is laughable. And we are to believe and trust in these people?

What arrogance. What ignorance…

Sen. Obama annouced that his not running for vice-president. Why should run for vice president when he is in first place for the presidentail nomination. The Clinton campaign is trying to cheat their way to the top despite the delegate votes, the people votes. She has put the "S" in scandal. If, Sen. Obama comes out on top which he will former first lady Clinton will suffer humilation for a life time. She will go down in history as the first women running for president of the united states but she will be known as the scandalist women to run for democratic presidential hopeful.

I'm voting for Hillary and never Obama as president. I wouldn't mind to see them together with Hillary on top, BUT Hillary saying he could be ready by summer only proves that he'll be an option to be vp. Hillary what are you doing? He's not ready. If he's not ready now, he won't be in a few months

Well, finally some great minds are speaking up in what the country in a commander in chief. The generals are now speaking, I believe it time for the teenagers stop yapping and think. We need a commander in chief, not american idol. CLINTON 08. THAT IS WHAT THE COMMANDERS ARE ASKING FOR.

Well that's good. The Democratic Convention is this summer. Perfect timing Obama, even Hillary says so!

She voted for the war without reading the report.

Hillary is responsible for thousands of soldiers and civilian deaths because she did not read a report. Nothing Hillary does can bring back over 100,000 lives that have been lost because of this war. Thanks to Hillary's vote, there are tens of thousands more Islamic terrorist in this world.

I love how everytime something Pro-Hillary is reported on no one can refute how wrong it actually is. I wish the media would get off of Clintons bra strap.

HAHAHAHAHA

The Clinton Campaign is crashing and it's crashing fast. Desperate times call for desperate measures. She is going to be destroyed by Mississipian's tomorrow.

Go Obama '08!

Kind of funny that the leader in pledged delegates is only qualified enough for vice-president. Am I the only one that sees how backwards this is?

The Clinton campaign never ceases to amaze. They are facing an insurmountable deficit in pledged delegates, and they find the arrogance to suggest that the frontrunner should ignore the vote totals and "submit" to her desire?

I am an Obama supporter, but I honestly believe Clinton could've fared a lot better in this campaign with a little grace, humility, and attention to detail – and most importantly, better advisors.

As the Brits say, forget all the Barack razz-ma-tazz. Hillary is the only candidate capable of being the USA president in 08. Barack's star power didn't get things done in the job he was elected for.

Can he learn enough to be vice president by Denver? We'll see!

Hillary the HOPE of 08 and the smart choice! Yes, we will!

So, he's not ready NOW to be a VP or a President, but by the summer he'll have crossed the imaginary threshold? SOOO with that logic, he is than ready?

What is going on in the Clinton campaign? This is absolutely dumb. I'm sorry, but if you vote for Hillary you are tragically informed. This is what you want running the country? I'm sorry, I'll take someone who has less experienced than this so-called-experience Clinton has.

I am convinced that her whole group is crazy!

Yes, please do Obama a favor, otherwise I wonder if he can keep his senator post, since he has done nothing during his first term.

Well i guess if he can be ready by summer he should ahve mno problem being ready by january! THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT MS. CLINTON, GO OBAMA

gotta laugh at politicians

Don't listen to the naysayers, I think the "dream ticket" will become reality, and when it does — McCain won't stand a chance.

That has got to be the most ridiculous statement of this campaign. First to suggest that Barack Obama, who has more legislative experience than Clinton is not ready, but could be within months, is insutling to the American people. Second, that Clinton would ever claim that her time as First Lady would qualify as experience to be president is delusional. Finally, what real experience does Clinton claim to have, serving on the board of Walmart, and serving tea to the wives of foreign diplomats does not count. Let's see something concrete, more than just the fact that she is old.

I'm amazed at the utter depravity of the Clinton campaign. Just this morning CNN has posted 2 articles amply illustrating this. Hillary suggests that not only should she get the superdelegates, but that the PLEDGED delegates should jump ship as well. Then she, being number TWO at the moment, offers up the position of Vice President to the candidate who is running number ONE at the moment. What sane person on this planet wouldn't be insulted by these comments?

Why don't you add that Obama has already said NO to a VP slot, CNN? Please try to complete your stories…

I wonder what the Clinton's are up to with this nonsense?

Perhaps they are baiting Obama into a sound bite that may come back to haunt him later…

He just declared in Mississsippi that he has won more states, popular vote, and delegates than Clinton…and that he doesnt understand how someone in second place can offer someone in first place the VP spot!

Perhaps, they have something earth-shattering up their sleeves, that will undoubtedly put him in 2nd place…hmmm…i wonder whats going on???

Thoughts Anyone????

I THINK HE SHOULD TAKE IT

As an independant Voter I support Obama.
But would never support
Clinton Obama
or Obama Clinton
Hillary is not in my deck of 52 cards
Its because I don't want to play with the joker.
Hillary is playing with a marked deck
Not sure all 52 are present as her transparency is quite limited
Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tea and cookies diplomacy abroad with a speech (that according to Hillary's rules shouldn't count) at a womens' conference in Beijing for good measure does not qualify Hillary to be anything other than a White House hostess. As usual, she padded her resume with Bill's accomplishments (mostly symbolic) when in realiity she has none of her own to rely on.

Are you kidding? She is losing. She should not be talking about a running mate yet. There goes this inevitability thing again. She needs to realize that this is the attitude that put people off from her in the first place

The VP slot is irrelevant until the nominee is decided.
The election will depend on America's answer to one question: Are we better off than we were 8 years ago?

4 years for Clinton, 8 years for Obama, 12 years of Democratic presidents for Howard Dean.

Now, I love Clinton, but the idea that Barack is not ready to be commander in chief now, but will be ready to be her VP by this summer is totally ludicrous. What can her campaign be thinking?

Hillary is the best candidate we have at this time. Obama could be a good VP.

She will become our President and a strong Commander and Chief to lead our nation and restore our our broken image to the world

HILLARY – PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The Clinton team should stop this disparaging comments that are damaging to the party and cannot hope for a reconciliation only to benefit Hillary.

Hillary cannot win the White House without Obama and he is not going to help her in anyway.

If Obama does not win the nomination, he should run as an independent—double history as the first black independent president !!

He's not presidential, but he might be, if it advances my personal agenda. What arrogance to say that the person most likeley to win ought to be the person's most likley to lose VP. Your deception is blatant to all. Bu-by Hillary.

Clinton-Obama '08!!!!!

How condescending for the loser of the race to suggest that Obama would make a good VP to her P. The Clinton arrogance is just non-stop.

Strategic move on the part of her campaign though. They managed to attack Obama without going negative.

How nice of her…if Obama only needs just a few months to be VP what kind of experience does she think he will gain? Hillary is an arrogant shrew that will stop at nothing to win.

BTW, if some of you are so stupid to fall for the so called 'DREAM TICKET" only Hillary is proposing, you really are stupid enough to vote for her. Obama has definitively said NO to a Vice Presidency.

Clinton has no experience….she was first lady for God's sake. She SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN exercising control over anything when she was First Lady. Let us see the records or shut the heck up on the FANTASY EXPERIENCE HILLARY.

LOL This is laughable. An obvious ploy to trick voters into thinking voting for Hillary would get them Obama. Obama is not running for VP. He's running for President!

I quess Obama supporters are right Obama does fight back.

He definitely attacked Maureen Dowd for making fun of his BIG EARS.

HE ISSUE A THREAT TO HER. SHE DIDN'T MAKE A 3AM AD.

OBAMA CAN'T EVEN HANDLE PEOPLE MAKING FUN OF HIS BIG EARS.

HILLARY IS TRYING TO TRICK THE OBAMA BASE VOTERS INTO THINKING THAT IF THEY VOTE FOR HER, SHE WILL PUT OBAMA ON THE TICKET AND EVERYBODY WILL BE HAPPY. THIS IS CLEARLY A DISTRACTION.

Okay this is the dumbest scenario and way of thinking that I’ve ever heard from ANY candidate. This entire notion is asinine. That’s all I need to say because this idiotic scenario doesn’t deserve any further comment.

These generals owe their careers to former President Bill Clinton, so how are they not bias?

Umm Hillary you may need to wake up from dreamland… Currently Obama is winning…. The ridiculous notion that he would be your VP is contraditory. Hillary needs Obama way more than Obama needs Hillary…

Wake up already!!!!

Obama '08

What is that test? Explain to me how Hillary, who is only in her 2nd term in the Senate, is qualified? Being first lady doesn't make you the perfect commander in chief.

So the guy in the lead should be second on the ticket?

If you are sick, you are looking for the most experienced doctor, so does a country. We need Hillary to heal the wounds from the war, the economic recessing. Barack can be in traning mode – the VP till he is ready.

What is this Clinton standardized commander-in-chief test? Is it multiple choice, or are there essays too? Are they going to administer it on a Saturday morning after a few months of study courses? Can I take it too?

This is a presidential election–not the S.A.T.. People are entitled to make their choice based on who they believe will be the best president. If that's not Hillary Clinton, tough patooties.

What arrogance! I wouldn't trust her to drive a bus. We
already have one Iraq disaster, we don't need another.

That woman is such a witch.

Since when does the second-place candidate offer a job to anyone?

The arrogance of the Clintons' suggestion just makes me livid. Go ahead, vote for her. See what you will get. We are doomed.

Bill Clinton's response to the double-talk about Obama not being ready and his viability as a VP candidate: "That's Politics."

People in Miss. and PA need to read the below message before deciding to vote for the Liar OBAMA> This is not all he has lied about. He never has answered satisfactorily questions about his ties to ANTOIN TONY REZKO.
This has been bothering me since the Presidential Parties' campaign started. Obama is running on change, but one of his best lines against Hillary is I didn't vote for the Iraq war. I'm a little confused here so I did the math. Being he is a first term Senator. He was not even in the Senate during that time. So he is correct he did not vote for the war. He did not vote period.
Question: Am I wrong, but was Obama even in the Senate to vote on going to war in Iraq? I thought he was a IL. State Senator at the time? The following is from the Washington Post. Obama missed over 40.5 % votes in this years congress alone. He was elected to the Senate in 2004 for the term beginning in Jan 2005. So how could he have voted against the war in Iraq.
OBAMA, Barack, a Senator from Illinois; born in Honolulu, Hawaii, August 4, 1961; obtained early education in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Hawaii; continued education at Occidental College, Los Angeles, Calif., and Columbia University, New York City; studied law at Harvard University, where he became the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review, and received J.D. in 1992; lecturer on constitutional law, University of Chicago; member, Illinois State senate 1997-2004; elected as a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in 2004 for term beginning January 3, 2005. (Source.)
Washington Post.

Enough of Hillary already.

Most of America can't stand her. She will never be ready. Not spring, summer, fall or winter … NEVER.

I would never vote for Hillary.

HOW MANY STORIES ARE YOU GOING TO RUN ABOUT THEIR

DESPERATION TO MAKE HIM APPEAR LIKE THE UNDERDOG?

OBAMA IS WINNING!!

TO BE BALANCED CNN SHOULD DO A HEADLINING STORY

ABOUT HOW RIDICULOUS IT IS FOR A LOSING CANDIDATE

TO OFFER THE WINNING CANDIDATE THE VP SLOT!!!!!

HOW DELUSIONAL!!!!!

DID HUCKABEE OFFER MCCAIN THE VP SLOT???

I'm afraid that neither one of them are going to beat old man McCain. They should both bow out and endorse Al Gore.

clinton's campaign is trash talk. if anybody is a disloyal democrat, it's hillary clinton.

obama has won 29 contests to her 14. he leads in the delegate count by 100, and also has won the popular vote–the american people have spoken: NO MORE BUSH'S OR CLINTON'S IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

we're sick of the clinton/bush dynasty. it's this good cop, bad cop crap that has tanked our country.

'08AMA

This is foolishness. He would have to lose first and that doesn't seem likely. I hope CNN has some interesting contrasts between Obama and McCain planned, because if Hillary is anywhere near the Democratic ticket then McCain's my man.

Anyone But Hillary

He has to be ready- That's the only way she gets on the ticket- duh?

I do not think that he is ready to be commander in chief now, or even by Denver. However, Hillary is not going to be incapacitated anytime soon. She is an unstoppable and incredible force, and through working with her he would gain enormous experience, and could eventually make a good President. I doubt Al Gore would have made a great commander in chief, but look at him now! He can handle our biggest crisis, global warming, with intelligence and ease.

She is being very very generous here to even consider him, and he is fortunate she is giving him a chance at this.

Hillary Clinton 08′!!!!

Are you kidding me!. GIVE it up! Purely tactical!

Obama is ready. Hillary is not. Simple as that.
When you disgrace yourself publicly the way the Clintons have there is no way to pick up the pieces.

What the hell is the "Commander in Chief Test"? Seriously, Hillary Clinton has less experience than Obama and says she is more experienced. Please just go away with your idiotic spin machine.

Gee. I heard a 5-minute speech this morning by Hillary Clinton, and have now listened to approximately 40 minutes of ranting and raving by Obama.

Could you please put him on again?? My headache has barely begun.

Give me a break. What experience does she have?

Obama should be insulted by these words. What makes Clinton think that she is ready for the role of Commander in Chief? Yet, she believes that she is so much so that she can judge others on the same merits…

Truly insulting…

Jumpin the gun Hillary.

Don't loose sight of the big picture.

It's about America not about being President.

Give me a break. What experience does she have?
