Wake Up Hillary! It's past 3am! Stop dreaming about a presidency that you cannot win!!!

Hillary Plays The People!

She knows most Americans don't try to find out information about the candidates. She knows most Americans believe what they see on tv, or read online.

This has allowed Hillary to run a campaign based upon one lie after another, and one attack after another all in attempts to make Obama look bad, and to make her look good.

Luckily, alot of Americans are informed! We know the truth about Obama, and we know the truths about Hillary and Bill.

Obama has been an elected official 4 more years than Hillary, which gives him Real Experience In Office! He has worked great with politicians in both partys. He has worked on military and foreign matters more than Hillary. From the beginning, he knew that a War in Iraq was mistake that was not needed. Instead, he knew that Afghanistan and searching for Bin Laden was what was really needed.

It's great that Americans are starting to inform themselves about Obama! The more that people are informed, the more they like Obama, and the more they see Hillary for what she really is... a liar!

Now, she is contradicting herself!!! One day seeing Obama isn't fit for office, then the next day offering him VP, just so she can win instead of him.

What is all of this "Hillary can do better?" SHE IS LOSING! And just think us Obama supporters are supposed to be drinking the KoolAid.

Don't forget, Bill had even less experience than Obama, and heck, most of us voted for him, including me. Hindsight is 20/20.

I have watched the Democratic race, like many others in the UK, with great interest. I cannot see how Hillary Clinton's outburst has in any way aided her cause. Just as when I was a child I used to whistle when I was nervous or afraid, it seems Hillary throws out these sort of deflections when she knows she is 'up against it'. I do not doubt she could be a good President, but it seems to me that what America needs right now is not just 'perspiration' of the Clinton's "work hard to fix things" type, but real inspiration of the sort that Obama clearly offers. He may not be truly tested yet, but honestly, is she? I dont recall JFK being in senior Political Office before 1960, but he wasn't that bad was he? Please America, give the world the triumph of Hope over huburis....we will thank you for it.

How can Hillary control the oval the white house when she wasnt able to control the ORAL office under Bill?....

Sometimes it really amazes me how naive the media is. They've been pushing this story for a couple of days when we all know this is just a political maneuver. Noneless, I have to say it's a smart move from the Clinton campaign. They knew Obama would reject the offer so the issue is now not whether Clinton would consider him as VP but how he actually rejected it. This way he appears somewhat arrogant and egotistical, looking for his own interest and not the one of the Country. This issue forced him to be on the spot and not talking about the real issues and what's important to the Mississipi people (in preparation for today's primaries) but how he adamantly rejects the VP spot.

Senator Obama, still a rookie sir.. still a rookie. Hats off to the Clinton camp for this brilliant strategy.

The Clintons do know what they are saying and doing.
It is a known fact that Obama is not ready for ths White House or V.P, however with Bill Clinton At the White House Obama could get a good start if anythin,g happen to Hillary, maybe you people should wake up and look at the whole picture, we need change and two Presidents in the White House is Change. Obama does not have a chance

I cannot believe that Hilary play the dream ticket to win Mississipi. Like I said before, she's EVIL. She doesn't care about the party or America. The only thing she cares about is winning, go back to the white house for Bill to find another Ms. Lewinsky because she's old with lot of rinkless.

Listen my friends, HILARY is not good for the white house again. If she can vote for the war in IRAQ means she doesn't have good jugement to be our President.

Let us vote for OBAMA who can bring all Americains together. Who can bring back americans people on top of the word again.

GO OBAMA 08

Bill's the VP choice for HIllary, no doubt about it.

Slick willie's just trying to feel out the public about him becoming Hillary's running mate. That way he gets to stay at the Vice President's mansion while Hillary is at the White House.

Ladies: The line forms by the servants' entrance........................

Who's leading the popular vote ie. all democrats in America that voted incl. Mich and Florida.

Who's more popular amoungst the the voters.

Guess Who.

Do the maths.

WATCH WHAT YOU WRITE, SAY OR DO: THE FASCISTS ARE WATCHING YOU! ENJOY YOUR FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYONE'S LIBERTY!

I am a Nigerian but i have been following closely the presidential nomination of the democratic party. Never have i been most nauseated than the diabolical sugestion made by Hillary that Obama who has won more pupolar votes, more states and above all more hearts of both Americans and the rest of the world to take up the vp slot i truly think she must be hallucinating or better still be an Alice in wounderland let her vent her fustration at her campaign crew or better still throw in the towel and support Obama so that the Democrat can concentrate on the presidential race proper

I cannot believe CNN and all of there negative comments about Hillary Clinton. Saturday night live tells the true story - I think CNN has a hidden agenda. Pay attention America !! Read between the lines.

This country needs a women and needs someone with experience !!

Go Hillary !!

I wish the press would stop pushing the idea of a Clinton – Barrack or a Barrack – Clinton ticket. BOTH candidates have said this is prematrue and they are focusing on their campaigns. So why does the press keep pushing this? Isn't there some other important news to report on? Last I heard we were still at war!

Hillary is as corrupt as everyone says she is that is clear. Obama though is all talk and has absolutly no substance behind him and no experience. The media has given him a free ride. But if he gets the nomination I feel some things from his past will come out and show he is not as high and mighty as he claims. Remember obama is someone who has been in politics for awhile now and claims to be above everyone else in Washington.only one person has the right ideas and the experience and just because he is running as a republican doesn't mean he is going to do the same exact thing as bush, he is on record as opposing many of his ideas. He is very much a different republican a better one.

McCain '08

Hillary cant win without Obama and Obama can win by himself.

Hillary cant beat McCain, but Obama CAN

Hillary is always ME ME ME,

Obama is always WE.

It was We who formed this country, not the ME ME Clinton

I am not sure what point Mr. Davey is attempting to make. It is however obvious that the uneducated of which he speaks may have recieved a history lesson from him.

LJB- House of Rep – 1937-1948
Minority Leader Senate – 1953
Majority Leader Senate – 1954-1960

JFK – House-1946-1952
Senate- 1952-1960

Kennedy did not choose Johnson under the same conditions as suggested ( lack of experience--you know.......who do you want answering the phone at 3:00AM ).

Do your homework....must have skimmed the Cliffnotes version.

Hillary has been using one of the best politician (Bill) to get the nomination. Now she is trying to use the best politician (Obama) to realise her dream.

She has claimed all the successes of Bill Clinton and will soon claim that of Obama. The question is; When is she gonna be independent of other people's achievements and lead on her own?

Ready on day one?????????????????????"'

It blows my mind how anyone can give the big "H" an advantage in the experiance column. Hello, she's only been in the senate 8 years.
Obama what 4? Not much difference.
Of course though it was Ok for her to run for her first office with "ZERO" experiance and never have even lived in New York state. She didn't even know the layout of New York State and certainly not the wants and needs of the New Yorkers but that was acceptable. She new she could take advantage of Bill's coatails. Why do you think his office is in Harlem?
Enough already with the experiance issues. Let's vote for integredy which will exclude her.

EGObama says, "With all due respect" but he did not decline with decency or manners. I think they have a name for that if it were a female.

Jobs, Healthcare, Bring troops home and balance the budget People!
Lets stick with the agenda.Potty mouths are not fit to vote in a grown up election.Nothing but a bunch of nasty teenagers on here

I use to love the political season, but this campaign has become bitter and never ending. The egos out here are absolutely unbelievable. At some point in my life, I would like to vote for a real candidate and not the "lesser of the evils". I don't like McCain (no change), I don't like Hilary (same old thing), I don't like Obama (I need more than inspiration), Paul is obsolete, and Nader is a narcissist. So, who can I vote for that will bring vision and intelligence to this race?

She won't win without him and will only hurt his chances at winning if she is connected to him. She is poison.

Don't settle for less. Let your party and the people tell you they don't want you. Don't concede or give into this VP nonsense! It will never work it will only hurt you in the long run. Look at what happend to former VP Al Gore. He was VP in name only The Clintons technically ran both offices. And look how Al's presidency campagain turned out?
Lace up your gloves and fight the good fight until it is done Mr. Obama!

OBAMA 2008

"Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can't tackle the big problems that demand solutions. And that's what we have to change first. We have to change our politics, and come together around our common interests and concerns as Americans. BARACK OBAMA, email to supporters, Jan. 16, 2007

IF BARACK OBAMA CANNOT UNITE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, HOW CAN HE "HOPE" TO UNITE THIS NATION? He talks the talk for unity, but does not walk the walk. He wants to be President only because then he does not have to compromise with anyone. As VP, he won't be the "lead dog" and he knows that unless you are the lead dog the view never changes.

He's just another political hypocrite. Let's see what he does to unite his party.

How can you credit Hillary with Texas when it is clear that Obama won more delegates there than Hillary?

Obama won Texas.

Obama '08

I will never vote for Obama or is it Osama ( No difference)!
What is Obama good at? Dividing the Democrats! Talking!
That sums it up!

Go Hillary 2008!

Obama voters are disillusioned if they think Obama is "Clearly" winning.

Dems CANNOT WIN without Ohio, Texas and Florida. They simply CAN NOT WIN.

McCain is pretty popular in ALL of those states, and what's more, popular in New York, New Jersey and many other states that Obama LOST.

If Obama can't win those states, he can't win the election.

People fail to point out that the little red states that Obama won over Hilary are REPUBLICAN STATES...and McCain got more than DOUBLE the votes than Obama got....Obama can't count those as a win, and any delegate who's not stupid should be able to figure that out if they weren't caught up in the mind-boggling fad of promises that can't be kept.

When it comes down to Republican versus Democrat, HILARY HAS MORE VOTES.

When you remove all of the delegates that will go towards republicans instead of democrats, Obama loses by a long shot.

If we vote Obama, we vote McCain.

And that's not even getting started on the fact that no one has addressed that Florida and Michigan could have purposefully broken the rules, screwing the voters over, just so Hilary couldn't get the delegates there, and knowing it would push Obama out of the race if Hilary won. (Because Hilary would be winning if they were counted, both in counts, AND in popular vote!)

Has anyone stopped to think if maybe the lead-men in charge WANTED florida and michigan to not count?

Think about it.

Sex in the White House...humm...even Kennedy was guilty! Scandal in the White House (why do you think it is white...Brides wear white no?) Mud slinging in a campaign....always what they can't do versus what I can. Truth is, the way Government runs, neither accomplishes anything. Proof....go back and listen to the Bush promises 4 and 8 years ago......humm...delivered nothing but fake WMD's that are live IRD's on our troops he sent over! Imagine what that trillion dollars would do at home towards National Healthcare, Education, homelessness, infrastructure, etc. When I find a candidate that actually is "of the people, by the people and for the people" then perhaps it will be worth my time and energy. Until then, this is Fox Reality TV and most of the World is watching and laughing along! I wonder, what would Goerge, Thomas, Benjamin and the 37 other founders think of how we have run the Country? Anyone look in their tombs to see if they have rolled over?

I want to vote for Obama for "president", not the vice president. If Obama wins the nomination, he wil certainly get my vote. If Hillary were to wrangle the nomination, I will vote for McCain, and I really don't want to do that. I'm a woman in my mid-forties who will not even consider casting a vote for Hillary. I remember the 90's all too well. Oh has she returned the silver and art work she and Bill stole from the White House when they left?

Clinton has no plans whatsoever to name Barack Obama her running mate. This is Clinton being her usual patronizing, condescending and arrogant self. She is #2 in total number of votes cast. She is #2 in total number of delegates. She is #2 in total number of pledged delegates. She is #2 in total number of states won. For her to suggest a Clinton-Obama ticket is insulting.

****Mail-in ballot suggested as possible Florida-Michigan ****

This is a bad ideal, see you can not ensure every will get the right information, or verify their right to vote. illegals may try to tilt the ballots.

Polling place it the only was to ensure that proper voting is taking place.

I don't see how we can allow the Bush Administration blow trillions of dollars on a needless war but we can't spend money to properly hold a election to the Highest Office in America, we need to get real.

We need to review what the Attorney General is doing spending $25 million to his own firm, this looks like a Ethic violation or conflict of interest.

In the Bush Administration, American we have took our eyes off the prize.

Hillary Clinton deserves a better VP candidate and Bill Richardson
is the man! Remember there are more Hispanic voters than blacks so Richardson will solidify the Hispanic votes on both parties to vote for Sen. Clinton. Sen. Clinton/Gov Richardson 08!

PUT IT THIS WAY, OBAMA'S VOTING RECORD;
The Truth About Obama's Voting Record
Posted by RollinTruth on Thursday, January 17, 2008 3:07:53 PM
The tendency of Barrack Obama to vote "present" on controversial matters during his time in the Illinois State Senate is getting some media attention lately, and his campaign has sought to dismiss the criticism by claiming there were good, sound political strategies involved in Obama's decision to avoid voting.

The most absurd aspect of the whole story is not his votes - which are already pretty absurd - but rather his attempted defense of those votes. Obama's defense of not doing the job he was elected to do? He couldn't vote on those bills, because his votes would've been used against him when he ran for reelection.

HUH? Since when is it a legitimate argument to say, "I didn't vote on that bill, because it would hurt my political future." Even worse is that much of the liberal press has actually accepted this ridiculous, indefensible opportunistic point of view. So, pretty absurd and inexcusable, right?

Oh, but wait - it gets better! Not only does he admit his votes (or lack thereof) were based on purely political calculations, and not only does the mainstream media accept and defend his argument. Deciding to just take the ball and run with it, Obama and his supporters say that not voting out of personal political opportunism is in fact an example of true leadership on these issues he wouldn't vote on!

What is interesting is that during all this examination of Obama's record in the Illinois Senate, nobody is raising the issue of Obama's serial non-voting in Congress. Let's take a look at how he voted during his long one-year career in the U.S. Senate:

He skipped voting on 26 of 59 budget, spending, and tax measures – that means he didn't bother to vote on 44% of these measures during his entire career in the Senate. He skipped NINE out of fifteen votes on health related measures. He skipped voting on FIVE of six transportation measures in 2007. He skipped voting on FOUR of five welfare-related measures. He skipped voting on about half of environmental-related measures. He skipped voting on half of education measures. He constantly skipped out on votes relating to farm subsidies and agriculture expenditures.

He voted AGAINST a bill that would deny legal status to undocumented immigrants convicted of aggravated felonies, domestic violence, stalking, violation of protection orders, crimes against children, or crimes relating to the illegal purchase or sale of firearms. But then he voted FOR a bill reducing the number of guest workers. Now, regardless of one's view on immigration in general, if you had to choose between allowing in MORE criminals or MORE legal workers, which would you choose? That's all I'm saying!

He skipped voting on future military funding for Iraq, as well as multiple other Iraq funding measures, skipped voting on the Iraq Withdrawal Amendment, after first voting AGAINST it a few months earlier; and he also skipped voting on the measure designation Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. But he's been running around the country for months saying he opposes the war and that he'll end the war, while being unwilling to go on record about any of it. I'm not saying he should have voted for a withdrawal, I'm just saying he's like a lot of cowardly liberals who say something but are unwilling to actually risk backing it up with action.

Finally, in an apparent attempt to continue his strong record of leading by non-example from his grand days in the Illinois Senate, Obama skipped voting on two of three abortion-related bills in Congress. At least on this issue, his vote - or rather, non-vote - has remained consistent, I guess.

Well, that's one way to ensure the Republican candidate won't be able to attack him for his record in the Senate - just avoid having one!

Bill's Good Idea: A Combined Hillary-Barack Ticket

Fine, have Hillary stop campaigning now and become the vice-president. That would show she is not power hungry. If Obama accepted the vice-presidency then the ticket should read:

1) HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT,

2) BILL FOR MONARCH, and

3) OBAMA FOR SERVANT TO THE CLINTONS

Dream on Billary, Take note Superdelegates!

Of course she benefits, it's just another one of her ploys to try to move "under the table" like the slithering snake she is!
She again proves that she will do anything to try and win this election, at any cost, and any sacrifice, she is hood-winking the electorate and playing on their fears and emotions.

Curious that so many posters here who are praising Hillary for "trying to unite" the party are the same ones insisting they'll vote McCain if Hllary's not the top dog on the ticket.

We all need to take a deep breath here and remember that 4 more years of anything resembling the Bush presidency may DESTROY our country as we know it. McCain represents that. And as it stands now, if things "ended tomorrow", Barack Obama would be the democratic nominee.

All this political claptrap aside (and I admit, Hillary's been the engine driving it)...don't get so wrapped up in the battle that you lose sight on the objective of the war.

THIS IS GREAT ONE FROM PETER..............

Its really like something out of a movie, where the hero has been beaten by some villain who suddenly changes tone and offers respite and some reward of personal gain if he will only give up fighting the good fight.

Oh wait, am I allowed to call Hillary a villain? I don't want to make her cry or anything

"America The Beautiful' is 100% hilarity, by the way.

People act as if she's doing this to help her in Mississippe, she
doesn't need Mississippi, just the way Obama brushed off his
losses in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island.
Wait till Pennsylvania, another big state, Hillery will wipe out
Obama.
Why can't he just buy the election, oh sorry, he is, outspending
Hillery, 2 and 3 to one and maybe he could get a good deal on
the White House like he did on his own house, what 250,000.00
off.
Go Hillery, 2008.

It's questionable how someone behind gives ideas to somebody ahead, get ahead & then give some advice to your followers.what advantage does clinton have to suggest she has better offers for obama, give me a break.

When pigs fly, Hilary! Enough already Hilary, just tell Bill to tell the Emir of Dubai that the UAR will not have the "back door" into the White House that he promised. He'll probably at least let you keep the $1 million contribution for Bill's library!

I have 35 years of experience in saying that I have 35 years of experience!

Mr. Obama just take the second sit, you got nothing to loose anyway!

`
I am a 55 year old Independant that votes mostly Republican for President.

This year I am open to voting Democrat. I was hoping Joe Biden would be in the running, but it was not to be.

Voting for Obama is a possibility – I need to see more.

One thing is certain: I will never, ever vote for a ticket that has Hillary Clinton on it. Not ever.

America the Beautiful.....is your head buried in the sand?? Have you not seen every poll indicating Obama would beat McCain and the same polls saying McCain would beat Clinton? Watching Spitzer apologize with his doting wife standing by his side sure reminded me of some other politician doing the same thing–but only after lying about it first. Who was that..let me think...oh yeah...the Clintons. Hillary went through that at least three times that we know of. is that the vast experience all her fans talk about?? will she be able to stand in front of the country with him by her side and lie just as well as he did when she says....'i did not have sex with that woman'.

VOTE SMART VOTE SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!!!!

CLINTON!!!!

CLINTON!!!!

CLINTON!!!!

Not a real smart tactic for the Clintons. One of the biggest appeal sof Obama is that he is break from the Clinton sleaze. Show what do the Clintons do - they get sleazier!!

give a break, OBAMA PRESIDENT OF U.S.A. YEAH RIGHT,i had been a Democrat for so many years, when we get to November Elections, all the Rich people will be voting for Mcain, not for A Muslin wanta be..wake up...one way or another, they will be in the white house for another 8 years....not this losser Obama even the name is ridicules..

GO HILARY, FOR PRESIDENT...

What a miserable tactic from someone without any principles. The Clintons have gotten downright pathetic.

YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE IT A REST!

BORACK OBAMA WOULD BE POISON TO SENATOR CLINTON'S TICKET!

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY ANYONE WOULD SUGGEST THAT HE BE ON IT!

THERE IS WAY TO MUCH SCANDAL INVOLVING HIM! THE GOP WILL HAVE A CARNIVAL WITH IT!!!!!!!

MY VOTE IS FOR SENATOR CLINTON ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe Clinton and Obama would be a very powerful team but one that wouldn't work as I feel they would both be wanting to 'play ' President.

Spitzer, Hillary Super Delegate supporter, Bill Clinton supportive husband. Sex Scandal, cheaters and liars to thier families and the voters that believed in them. Hillary how can we trust your judgement .
You can't run your canpaign without going broke, we don't need you adding to our problems.

Well Hillary just lost another super delegate Gov. Spitzer was a long time supporter of the CLINTONS!!!!! That figures!!!!

ABC ABC ABC ABC !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is proposing a shared ticket as it is yet another tactic to get her a spot, any spot, on the ticket. If she doesn't come out on top in Denver, then she can lay claim to the VP spot as the inevitable choice.

Why Obama would ever consent to sharing the ticket with her is beyond my understanding. Even as top of the ticket, it raises the spectre of Hillary and Bill just down the hall doing Heavens knows what. The conspiracy theorists would have a blast!

And, I'm not buying the idea that there are no policy differences between Obama and Hillary. Looking at their voting records and CVs, that's just not true. For instance the bankruptcy bill and the Iraq war: she was for them before she was against them. And, the shared presidency of Bill & Hill has a lot of legislative baggage, e.g., welfare reform. Why are 'downscale' voters still voting for Hillary given this record?

All of this is just talk, exactly what Obama is about, all talk no action. Does it really matter what Hillary says about VP ect. She in my book made her point and got Obama fired up and mad, he does not look good when he is mad. The motivational speaker look is better. Without that he hasn't a chance. Keep hammering Hillary we all love a good fight (don't anyone deny it otherwise your just lying to yourselves!)

Hillary 08! VP W. Clark....Obama is to green!

Obama reject's the idea but that's the closest he will ever get to the
white house, he's a Chicago thug and he's proving it.
I wouldn't hire him as dog catcher.

we dont need speeches but clear solutions.. thats what hillary is all about.she knows what shes talking about and her experience says it all..
i dont think barrack would do anything since hes alawys flip flopping with issues like NAFTA and climate.he said he would invade pakistan and yet he he says he doesnt support the war in iraq..he is contradicting himself flat out..
the man just says whatever makes the people like him..we dont need a popstar or someone likeable,we need a leader.hes a good man and thats all there is to him..he is too young and doesnt fully understand or grasp the meaning of being commander in chief of the most powerful and unpopular country today..
wake up and see who brings actions to their promises..

HRC's only HOPE is that she can get near the White House on Obama's coat tails. She should be ashamed of her duplicity. James Carville's slight of hand on Larry King Live was indiciative of the desperation of the Clinton control freaks in the Democratic party. The Party and the Country has had ENOUGH of the Clintons and their divisive form of politics.

Why aren't they releasing those tax returns? Spitzer's misdealings were first noted by dubious financial transactions. What are the Clinton's trying to hide?

I bet this one won't get posted!

Hillary has been saying for the last 13 months...Obama is not qualified enough to be President. So why would Hillary want someone who is not qualified to be Vice-President? Since Obama is in the lead..maybe she should be his Vice-President!!!

Sincerely,
An "O-ba-ma-Momma"

HRC is garbage. Everything that comes out of her mouth needs to be sanitized.

This shows how arrogant and elitist she really is. And to think the tax payers are paying for this dribble.

Why don't they make politicians resign their positions before they start campaigning and running their mouth.

She's pure evil.

No more Clintons and Bushes! Our country is better then this.

Anyone who thinks Hillary is trying to unite the party has just been taken advantage of by the Clinton monster. You people should not be allowed to vote at all, because your maturity level is the same as a 3 year old childs maturity level. It is very difficult for you guys to make rational decisions and you should get medical attention to correct your
shortcomings as adult humans.

Have all of you Hillary supports ever checked to see who her major backers are? She has the identical top donner list as John McCain!
Get real and wake up. With Hillary you wil get the same old same old! She is claiming she has won the big states and all of the states Obama has won don't count! When did not living in New York, California or Texas mean that my vote isn't as valued!

Most of what I see here in these comments is nothing but name-calling and mud-slinging; at each other as well as at the candidates. And lots of threats: if this or that person is not the nominee, I'm voting republican. A year, even half a year ago everyone expected a *Democrat* to take over from G. Bush. But now?

On the bright side: come November you don't have to complain you lost the Presidency to Ralp Nader, spoiling it for you in Florida! You don't need him to do that any more.... you're better at it than anyone else.

And this process is held up to the rest of the World as the standard for Democracy... it makes you wanna cry!

why am I always being moderated when I say nothing inflamatory – what I add is a little wonkey, bigger picture perspective to add some analysis and content to the debate, rather than slinging cute barbs and obvious repeates of past blogs... I get to feeling that intelligent discourse is not particularly admired by my dear CNN moderators. What gives?

this is really strange.i think hillary is mentally unbalanced,as well as her husband.these clitnons are delusional.she claims she won the big states,yet hse is 100 delegates behind,how pathetic.texas is a rep state,which she won because rep and illegals voted.she will never win against mccain.she should be begging obama for the vp spot,which she would never have
OBAMA ALL THE WAY

Hillary is tried and tested in over 80 countries. As the wife of a visiting US President she was entitled to and professionally negotiated her way through incalculable amounts of complimentary tea and cookies. Does this mean that by Hillary’s childlike reasoning that Laura Bush is also tried and tested to be President.

Hillary has also had numerous experiences of answering the White House phone at 3am but unfortunately the callers always said CAN I SPEAK TO YOUR HUSBAND PLEASE !!

Leaving aside Obama for a moment, the real problem with a Clinton candidacy is her electability. To win the election in November, the Democratic nominee will need to win the swing vote composed of independents and Republicans disenchanted with the Bush Administration. They'll need to win this vote in the usual key states such as Florida and Ohio to take the election. There has been a Republican president for 20 of the last 28 years. Bill Clinton reversed this Republican predominance by winning the swing vote and by being a charismatic candidate who could pull in this vital demographic. Unfortunately for him and his wife, Hillary lacks both the charisma and the support of those outside the democratic faithful. Worse than this, there are many who are actively anti-Clinton and would happily work to derail her campaign.

Due to this and despite his inexperience, Obama is the only viable option for the democrats if they intend to win the White House.

Joint ticket indeed.
if Obama was so in experienced why then does Hilary need the partnership so badly. How could you ask Obama to be a running mate and be your number two. wat an insult!!!!
Hilary is a terrible person, very dishonest....she is simply playing politics and i wonder how come most people refuse to acknowledge this.
Obama exudes so much peace, love, calmness which were the factors that worked in favour of Bill Clinton as a president.
Everyone talks of experience but the truth is this, 'a bit of experience mixed with intelligence is what any one needs to overcome any challenge'. experience without intelligence cant get u anywhere.

OBAMA IS ARGUABLY THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB.

this is getting interesting,hillary really thinks she would be the nominee by controlling the DNC,she better think again if she steals this nomination there would be blood all over the world,the world is watching, americans abroad are watching and waiting for change is coming to america so clintonistas get use to it.
OBAMA 4 LIFE!

Hillary is very BAD in math:
She offered joint ticket ! Its a joke of the year !
For this everyone should hate her. For her self-contradiction, for her egoism and for her sense of (dis)proportion !

She is a very BAD American:
She views, Ohio=rest of USA

Media is also BAD in math:
On the 4 March, media coverage was not proportionate to the result !
Media should not view : Ohio=rest of USA , as Hillary views it.
Is it true that Hillary is the winner of Texas !!!!!!

NO, SHE WILL NOT, BECAUSE THE CLINTON 'S ARE WITH THE DIRTY TACTICES, I AM A INDEPENTEND WHO WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO VOTE FOR OBAMA BUT AFTER ALL OF THIS NASTY ATTACK ON BARAK I THINK THAT THE CLINTON CAMP WILL TEAR THE PARTY APART, AND AM LOOKING AT RON PAUL AND IF AM THINKING THIS WAY OTHERS ARE TOO.

NO–Hillary doesn't benefit from this. She looks ridiculous. Just like she looks ridiculous when she says she WON Michigan. She was the only Democrat on the ballot. lol Does she think she is playing solitaire?? Well..she might. She seems to think this is all about her.
She lies to the people who want to trust her and then trust her, like leading sheep to the slaughter. She will slaughter their hopes and dreams of a woman as President. She will dishonor the trust Americans put into this Office of President. NOTE: Hillary and Bill Clinton have the experience of dishonoring Americans, the American Presidency and the White House. And let's not forget, our economy!
Where are our jobs? Oh, yes, Bill signed NAFTA and Hillary thought it was good. Greed begets Greed. Since more of us are poorer, let's unite and win the Obama Nomination and Make a Real Statement.

This seems to be an attempt to sabotage a Democratic victory in November so that Hillary can come back and try again in 4 years without Obama as President.

Sen. Clinton is better off without Obama in her quest to be the 1st Female President of the United States. Why would Hillary wants a VP who is proven to be a plagriarist, someone we can't trust to answer the 3 a.m. phone call and unpatriotic. John Edwards is far better off candidate for VP and a respected Statesman.

Give me a break! The entire DNC is doing nothing but what they do best...create nothing but chaos and then blame others for it. These two (Obama/Clinton) are exactly the same. They are fighting like second graders to see who is going to be first in line...NEITHER of the two have what it takes to lead this country. Anyone who leads this country today will be unpopular because hard decisions have to be made and these two want to be 'liked'....and the boss just isn't 'liked'. Is he?

My sugestions are very simple and the best , Hillary call off your campaign and wait . After the convention, then discutions will start as to who will be the VP. As for decception they say you can deccive all the people one time but for ever you can`t. Hillary it`s over. Try again the next eight yaers. God bless your efforts. Amen

Hillary's offering of the VP position to Obama could have been successful, but her recent shake up in her national campaign office didn't get the timing right. The Clintons are professional politicians and the crying episodes, the "they're ganging up on me", the 'Obama Picture", the Chicago Developer connection, and the Hilarious SNL Hillary, all were calculated timely maneuvers. Her latest attempt will backfire because it got out too early and gave her constituency too much time to think about how ridiculous her vp offer was. She probably figured that the folks in Mississippi would take a little bit longer to piece everything together, but she forgot that the Mississippi schools are now competitive with the California schools and the kids there are now able to help their grandparents, (Hillary's biggest supporting group in Mississippi), figure out what is right and what is wrong!

The dream ticket started with reporters asking questions about weather or not it would happen. Clinton has effectively addressed this issue. I think Obama used bad judgment when he denounced the possibility of being on a ticket with Hillary. I believe he played right into her hands. I believe that when pressure is put on them for the sake of the party to join tickets- she will have a defense – he refused. If he had said, "sure, but I'll be on top" he would have prevented alienating the party or offending the Clintons. Hillary is not going away. If she does not get the presidency, she will still be involved in capitol hill – she will have the power to help him or hurt him. Life says/experience says, "Don't burn your bridges!" it obvious Obama hasn't learned that lesson yet!

hmmmmm, who would be crazy enough to take a VP slot with Hillary. Just imagine...

President Hillary
President Bill

...Vice President (Anybody)

The Vice Presidency would be at best ....a joke.

It's so unfortunate that Hillary speaks of change but is still interested in engaging in the same deceptive practices. Hypothetically, let's say they did run on the same ticket with her in the No. 1 spot. If she did win the presidency and something were to happen to her on "Day One" the Vice President would have to step in. How can she say on one hand, that Obama is not ready to be Commander in Chief on Day one but say he'd make a fine Vice President on the other? If he's good enough to run for Vice President, then he's good enough for President...the person in that No. 2 slot HAS to be!

But we don't have to talk about hypotheticals here because he's in the lead, he's going to win the nomination and he's not bringing her along on the ticket!

OBAMA '08

ew.......something stinks in here.....oh Hillary's at it again..........

I find it funny to read these posts. First there are the unwaivering supporters of one of the candidates. Then the statement how the other is a joke. Over and over again. Post after post. This is going to be the reason why the Democratic Party could lose in November. Boil it down and you find that both candidates are generally after the same thing. Different approaches maybe. It was brought up the age issue. Kennedy had the same thing said about him. I do not have the transcripts, but Lincoln was most likely hounded on the issue. But perhaps that is what we need. McCain is in his 70's. Hillary will have just turned 61. Thinking about it, who do they really represent. The youth of America, or the aging? Maybe that is why Obama is having an easier time connecting with the younger generations. .... As for the delegates from Florida and Michigan. We keep hearing how Hillary won those states. Ok – Floridians may not have all voted. Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan, because he withdrew when they were going ahead with the early vote. No matter what happens, it is not going to please the other. Split the delegates, re-vote or leave them out. You have to remember why we use delegates. In the forming decades, it was not possible to have everyone cast ballots in a timely basis. So you vote, and your delegate goes and eases the process on election day. The U.S. has too large a population to handle that now. We have enough to go to a popular vote. The margins may be closer, the results are the same. The 2k election showed that. Enough ranting people. Go read a book, better yet, read a book to a child or an elderly person. As a final thought/laugh – How many times are we going to let Florida screw up an election before we finally finish the wall cutting them off from the rest of the country?

Hillary says Obama is all about speech but check this out; what exactly did she do in China...delivered a speech of course: what did she do in Kosovo and Ireland...also delivered speeches. Now she tries to take credit for everything.
Is there any real treaty or policy that came into effect or being as a direct consequence of Hillary's speeches? I dare say none whatsoever...so what foriegn experience does she precisely have then besides having tea with international dignitories as a first lady?
Of course, she needs Obama on that ticket more than Obama could ever need her for anything. But most importantly, the whole world is watching and the Democratic party must not only do justice in this primaries, but MUST ALSO BE SEEN to do justice and fair play in the process, or else she is doomed. Hillary is only doing the Democratic party a severe disservice by her methods.
Let Hillary preach to the Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida Voters about joint ticket with Obama. Trust me, she will never do this in those states.

Mc Lame, uh Mc Same as Bush and McCain!

I hope the people in Mississippi who are voting today are not dumb enough to fall for this new Clinton ploy. They only want votes so she can say she won the popular vote. They do not care one bit about Obama. I can just see what role he would play in a Clinton/Obama administration–NONE! It would be Billary, Billary, Billary. Obama would be made out to be a POS. Don't fall for it voters.

The Clinton's are delusional, manipulative, and dishonest. Their campaign has been a disaster, and it is now beginning to hurt the Democratic party, and its chances in the general election. They represent old politics, and the whole world is seeing how superficial it is. Obama is right in denouncing, and rejecting this new tactic of theirs. Seeing all of the different tacts the Clinton's have taken in these past few weeks, it amazes me that there are still people out there who would prefer those two back in the White House.

For it to work, a "dream team" has to be mutually compatible. Are Obama and Clinton compatible at the core level?

One summons our better angels by articulating an audacious vision that we can be the change that we aspire to. - Yes, we can! The other derides and despises "the vision thing", and appeals to people's baser instincts through Rovian electoral dirty tricks.

One wisely and presciently warned Congress and the nation against the folly of the Iraq misadventure. The other cynically triangulates for personal political gains by blithely subscribing to not ONE, but TWO war authorizations!

Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew were a compatible team. So are Bush and Cheney. Contrariwise, FDR and Truman were a positive compatible team. But JFK and LBJ were a tragic mismatch, on a personal and national level.

At the core level, Obama and Hillary Clinton appear to have nothing in common. How can they be "a dream team", other than just for the sake of getting more votes in November 2008?

Obama is fending off attacks from Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and the Republicans and yet he has come thus far.
Notice that Hillary is yet to return any monies gotten from any of her contributors of questionable character, unlike Obama...and there are indeed too many of them.
Hillary herself did confess in their debate in Texas that it was an honor for her to be in the presence of Obama so why should Obama now play second fiddle to her? Why didn't she talk about the joint ticket in Ohio and Texas? She has been campaiging already in Pennsylvania, but she will not mention the joint ticket gimmick there because it is not to her advantage.
The name Clinton is synonymous with scandal...there seem to always be some kinda scandal about them wherever they go and Obama does not need that in his political life...may be that is the experience Hillary means that Obama doesn't have.
Right now, too many wars have been fought and the world is uneasy too: The one true person or personality the world doesn't need right now is Hillary as we are all witnesses to her antics and ethics in this campaign. She could never unite anybody and always after her own personal interests no matter who gets hurt in the process.

Apart of the condescending arrogance of Senator Clinton, it shows her total LACK OF JUDGEMENT AND EXPERIENCE – a VP is also supposed to be 'ready-on-day one', should something happen to the President. Senator Obama would never make the reverse'coalition'- he has better judgement and grasp of the position of President – not for his personal ego and ambition – but what is best for his country and the Democratic Party.

BIG DIFFERENCE – your choice America – you don't have room to make another mistake – the now expanding world is seriously questioning your credibility. This time your choice must reflect
CHANGE, if you are to regain your status on the World Stage.

Thankyou Obama for your Clarity on this matter. Obama made it very clear as to his position on this notion that has been floated about by the Clinton Campaign. One only has to look a t how she has run her campaign, to know , " She is not about Change" , in Washington. The idea of a joint ticket , regardless of the nominee, is impossible. She does not have the values or character of Obama, C'mon folks , Who would want to be a VP attached to Billary , I can't imagine anyone wanting to accept that ticket, it would be political suicide.

signed ..A Canadian supporting Obama '08

OBAMA tells the TRUTH! All he has to do is to continue to tell the truth and take the high ground and ONLY RESPOND TO THEIR LIES by TELLING THE TRUTH and then MOVE ON TO WHAT HE CAN AND WILL DO as PRESIDENT of the USA.

SHE IS A MESS and I HOPE CNN continues to point out all the ways she plays SILLY games while the IMPORTANCE of OUR COUNTRY will go to the person people believe to be BEST QUALIFIED, MOST TRUSTWORTY, and HONEST.

HILLARY and BILL (the IMPEACHED team) continue to SHAME THE FACE of this COUNTRY by their actions. It is TIME for OBAMA who will, and YES WE CAN, turn this country back towards the COUNTRY WE LOVE and HONOR. GO BARACK and MICHELLE!!!!

It's 0300am and the Red phone rings, who is going to answer it? Hillary does; "Bill it's for you"!

I'm a registered Republican, but I haven't voted for one in eight years. My vote will go to whichever Dem gets the nod. However, for some of you to say that you won't vote if Obama is on the ticket, and others to say they won't vote if Hillary is one the ticket, is simply hypocritical. Wait, scratch that, it just plain stupid. You realize, of course, that John McCain is just G.W. Bush in sheep's clothing, don't you?

In case you haven't noticed, our country is heading downhill fast. Enough non-votes by Democrats will guarantee at least four more years of the same.

Think about it.

I have to agree with Matt that bringing this VP issue out is simply brilliant for several reasons. First, by merely being open to and echoing the sentiments of a majority of democrats of the possibility of a "dream ticket", BO's true colors were exposed. He's become so arrogant now (Bush-like) that he's so blinded by his personal ambition and forgets about party unity (rk, Xyndau, rowena, and Oregon voter discussed this thoroughly). Loyal dems will find this very disturbing and will exhaust more efforts to stop him from achieving his selfish goal. Second, this issue may be viewed as a gambit which BO naively took. By dismissing the hopes of the democratic base for a "dream ticket", he voluntarily removed himself from the VP short list (good riddance!). When HC's momentum continues to grow up to the time PA, KY, IN, WV, MI, and FL vote (or re-vote), superdelegates will realize who's the clear party champion and affix their blessings to her party nomination. They will not question her decision should she pick a different VP other than BO. They will also recognize that BO's version of "playing by the rules" (i.e. disenfranchising MI and FL voters and forcing superdelegates to his side up to the point of totally disregarding their independence and political wisdom) is simply self-serving and anti-party base (thanks, Joseph of LA, CA!). Lastly, has anyone noticed the sound of desperation (even perhaps fear) from BO's camp that they're now clamoring for HC to drop out of the race? Even though they won't admit it, it's clear that time is not on their side and inevitably, HC will be nominated by the democratic majority by the time the dust has settled. It's just like selling the stocks while the market price is higher and cashing in with a higher return now; they don't expect a favorable return in the days (and weeks) ahead because they're spiraling downwards and probably mimicking the economic recession.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOH CLINTONS:::::::::::First your campain add with a Obama supporter at sleep.Sure she will want Obama to pick up the phone when it rings.That helped you get along in Ohoi ,Texans took their time.Now you wanna use another tactice with Obama as your VP?That grid you have for the white house please let it go.I know Chealse will one day be running for president too..This is not a your Family house.Who on this great Nation will want thier kids to be corrupt the way you and your campain board has been.Going around and deciving old minds and those who don,t have any knowledge of the things and happenings around them.
If it were you on Senator Obama,s shoes will you take his call for you as VP?Don,t forget we are still waiting for your Tax cut returns so the American people can know were your money is coming from.Pennslyvania is Obamas.You missed it all.Instead of asking for a dream ticket better take a Bus ar Train ticket to NY and help out your freind.Stop disgracing this great Nation.

Wayne...you said...

"Obama's arrogance is getting more than a bit annoying! First he says he won't run for president again if he doesn't win this time, now its how he won't even consider being vice president. It's he's way or no way (an attitude we've had in the White House for 8 years now already). I begin to see why so many Hillary supporters are saying they would vote for McCain rather than see this arrogant baby in control of the country."

Do you think that the emotional and physical effort it takes to run for President of the United states is akin to a walk in the park? If Obama says he will not run again, that is his prerogative. The Road to the White House is a long and arduous one...many of us could not even do it ONCE!!. And why should he consider being subject, as Vice President, to Hillary's whims after all of the criticism and insults that she has heaped on him...? I, frankly, find you arrogant for making statements based on silly suppositions, and not thinking through your statements with any clarity of judgment.

This is Hillary just playing the game again, desperate to win and at any cost. Just like her stealing all the delegates in FL and MI by saying they should be reseated without a new ballot. Under no interpretation is that fair.

To those who suggest it, Bill cannot be VP. Read the constitution and ammendments 15 and 22 closely. And that's coming from a Brit who appears to know more than some of the Americans posting here!

Obama responded like a jerk to the idea of being on the ticket with Hillary! Suppose she responded in such a manner if he considered her for V.P.! The media has coddled him so much that he feels he is entitled to special treatment and that he is the heir apparent to the presidency of this country!
OBAMA THE UNREADY! UNREADY FOR PRESIDENT. UNREADY FOR V.P.
GO HILLARY!

What egotistical arrogant self aggrandizing crap !!!

Just how stupid do these Clinton's think we are ?

This deceitful, completely disingenuous political ploy points up
the kind of old worn out politics that we the people are down right sick to
death of.

Out with the old and in with the NEW !

VOTE OBAMA
VOTE OBAMA
VOTE OBAMA

If you really want someone with experience. One that even is willing to knock at YOUR door at 3 a.m. Well I know someone in Havana who desperately needs a new job.
However if you bother about the quality of one's experience...

BTW if Senator Clinton wins through hoodwinkery and chicanery in FL TX and MI then I will be a McCainocrat just for the pure cussedness of it.

With Obama i am votong for something. Don't take away that dream from millions of people through trickery and lies. Don't do that.

billary is great lier family in AMERICAN HISTORY watch movie "PRIMARY COLOR " make u puke

I feel so sorry for Bill clinton,it must be a real nightmare to be married to this women.

Hillary is shameless playing for a tie, now that there is no way of her securing the nomination through primary voting. does she think she can persuade Obama supporters to stay home and let her steal thing thing with the promise that he'll be on the ticket? has she realized that he brings new voters into the Democratic fold in the general election, voters she cannot herself attract? is she willing to drag the party through a damaging convention deadlock to force obama to put her on the ticket as his running mate, which he would otherwise have no incentive to do? all of this speaks very poorly of her.

Probably, Clinotons palnned this proposal before campaign started and now they forgot that they are not front-runners!!!

Perhaps I am judging Senator Clinton too harshly but everything she has done lately in the way of an attack really rubs me the wrong way.
Senator Obama is ahead in the race and yet she is promoting the idea of him being her VP -which may have scored her a few points for appearing to be the front runner. Positioning.

There is a backlash to this kind of behavior though.

Wow, Hillary is really desperate. She is going to get creamed on Tuesday in Mississippi by double digits, and I am eager to see it happen.

It's time for a change for the country.

Obama '08

The thought of either one of the Democratic nominees becoming president makes me cringe, but for the Republicans it's a win-win situation.

As every survery has shown, Obama carries a general election at higher percentages than Clinton – both in Electoral College math and in Popular Vote. Seriously, what good is a Clinton candidacy if she can only carry the "blue" states – and not even carry the states that Kerry did? Nobody divides like a Clinton.

New York,do us all a favor and take her back,she worthless

Keep it going obama,keep throwing mud on her face,ive had it with that witch

It's like, "Since I'm losing, why don't you be VP so I can be President?" What a bright idea! But only if you were having a 1st grade conversation in the playground at recess. Hill didn't have the experience to take care of Bill when he was the president, what makes you think she can take care of America, or the rest of the world for that matter.

Every president learns in office–unless they' took "US President 101" in college. The major difference is that some presidents learn fast while others come to the end of their term without getting it!

Hillary Clinton , Just up to her same old same old. Tricks and depictions . Trying to make it out that she is in the lead . Her so called BIG states has been blue anyways , Barack Obama is right to stand up to this point . He has a lead in delegates and also won more states 29 out of 40 mean Hillary only won 11 . And he also has the poplar vote. And won 12 in a row . She been saying all along he has no experience .
But yet he can be her VP.? huh . first of all the number 2 is telling American people whom can be her running mate. If that was not bad enough the person she said had no experience . HUH ....
So ask your self as voter . Why is it she been lieing and playing these dirty tricks. And why is it she more BUSH like than McCain. We already have this in Whitehouse already.
Lies and Bully and hide thing from American people . And using fear to get what they want . In the end you'll be asking yourself like you do now with Bush why did I vote for him. Same with Hillary . WHY did I vote for her ,
AND BILL .?

Very glad to see obam sling some mud in her face,Ive had it with her and her tactics

It is pure RACISM in my opinion. They think that it's not normal for America to have Obama as a President because he is not a member of the traditional select clan. Bill is also seeking a third mandate and Hillary thinks it is God given that she will be President.
Would it be possible to buy the nomination, some would be attempted to offer more than a VP role.

take her back,new york,please,you cant do better then this

Rodhams just lost another super deligate in her freind Eloit spitzer HA HA HA HA HA

I think that Hillary Clinton is desperate for votes, and she's trying to get voters attention on Obama being her VP to try to change voters mind about Obama and the changes he's trying to bring to this country, which it is not going to work. The politics that Hillary is talking about, are suggestions her husband made in 1990s. Times have changed, so we need that same change in the white house. OBAMA DOES NOT NEED HILLARY AS HIS VP, because she doesn't stand for change.

I knew that something was going to go wrong during the primary, so I decided that if Hillary win the nomination, I will never vote again. What happened in FL and MI is a disgrace of what is to come of this voting procces now and in the furture , and the media doesn't make anything different than what was done in those two states. You took Hillary Clinton out the spot light, and decided to put everything negative about Obama on, trying to discredit his name, so in a-way you have been a little bias.

WE WANT NEW, AND WE WANT CHANGE!!!
DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA

Opportunistic, caniving, forked tongue, shrewd...

The Clintons will do anything and stoop to whatever tactics they can in order to get what they want. Before they start offering "dream tickets" there needs to be a "reality check"! Who in their right minds would want to work for (or with) that shrew. She's got more balls than spalding.

If the Dems go for Hillary then I'm going for McCain.

Obama is leading in every statistical category that is important, even with a revote in FL and MI Clinton will not be able to catch up. Unless a miracle saves clintons campaign the only way she will become the Democratic nominee is through overriding the popular vote. With that said I don't see a debate but people vested in a candidate willing to chop down the opponent to try and find a reason a avenue for her to become nominated. Regardless of your beliefs please believe in democracy.

Well, a least with Elliot Spitzer proving that he is among the highest order of hypocrites who claim to support the rights of women while actually trampling on them, Bill and Hillary have someone who they can commiserate with. Billary + Spitzer = the worst thing to happen to women in 100 years yet Tina Fey thinks they represent a new feminist ideology. Behold the power of delusion on the far left.

Clinton is a joke,a tottal jerk

America the Beautiful, maybe you were sleeping but it was, Hillary's campaign mamnaging skills the made her run out of money and have to loan her campaign 5 million bucks, NOT OBAMA'S campaign....

The worse thing Obama could do is share a ticket with Hillary Clinton...Thank God he set the record straight.... And he is ahead in all ways above hillary, she should drop out not him...
I would love to see an Obama/ Edwards ticket

GO OBAMA

Also, I find it just a bit repulsive that all of these clinton supporters are in essence telling Obama to get to the back of the bus and wait his turn.

Buying donuts for Hillary's campaign staff: $125,000

Hillary loaned her campaign: $5,000,000

Hillary's fear mongering 3am ad: $2,000,000

Splitting the FL and MI delegates evenly between the two candidates: Priceless

to anybody who thinks that hillary is tying to unite the party is truly mistaken.. U cant see through this? If she wants a dream ticket so bad,she should a least accept the vice president position. but no it will only work if she is on top of the ticket.. ha ha ha that is funny. Notice how most of her voters aren't the most educated.. I said most not all.....

Obama '08 President of the United States of America

Clinton '10 Governor of New York

Thats the only way she can run anything besides Bill.

OBAMA should reject and denounce BILLARY's offer.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those of you democrats with constant evil personal attacks should be ashamed. You represent all that is wrong with this country.

and what experience did bush ii have

Any ticket with Hillary's name on it will simply mean another Republican in the White House. Hillary and Bill are completely delusional. This is just another strategy to play to the black vote in Mississippi...hoping that African Americans will embrace Hillary because she's offering (maybe) Obama a seat at the table. This strategy will backfire.

deb

u may be gud @ grammer, but u cant count. 2008 and 2016? wut happind too 2012?

I'm no Democrat, and from all the ranting I see here, I PRAY this kills the Democratic Party; Heaven help us if we ever elect another Democratic president....

Her comments about Obama joining HER ticket prove two things: (1) she believes she is losing; and (2) she is correct!

I would like to know how you dems think that hillary has any
experience to run the country???
she is still a junior senator. and being an ex-presidents wife is not
qulification for the job!
independent in id.

Clinton is trying to fool voters into believing that a vote for her is also a vote for Obama. I wonder how many people will believe that one......... Should be obvious it's a trick. That'll turn off people for sure. People don't like being tricked, makes them feel stupid. Way to go Hillary, make the voters feel that you think they are stupid. It just doesn't stop with these Clintons does it. I predict Miss. will go 70/30 for Obama. I wish the Clintons would just disappear-go back to Arkansa or Harlem or wherever.

Somebody ought to ask Al Gore if he benefited from seasoning under the Clintons. She's #1 in Gall though, you know the unmitigated kind.

Who are we kidding? We all know Bill will be her VP! lol

lets say if obama was nominated would he be able to name bill clinton vice-president and if so lets say obama for whatever reason if elected president god forbid something happens to him would bill clinton become president.

Politics at their worst brought to you by those who do it best....

How about an Obama/Romney ticket? Perhaps we could actually get politicians in Washington to get something done if they weren't so caught up in partisanship. Obviously it will never happen but what a concept of having our politicians working together for the common good rather than to satisfy the political aspirations of their party.

Well stated Earl. Hillary, thanks for playing and goodbye . . . hopefully forever.

NO, HILLARY DOES NOT NEED A LOSER---
LETS GO HILLARY!!!!!!

this is as arrogant as the clintons can get.
they are in second place and want to put obama in his place.

this is directly from bill clinton. the nasty man.

I am absolutely stunned by the depths of manipulation, underhandedness, and just plain filth which Hillary Clinton is bringing to her campaign. It is repulsive to me and I would rather vote for McCain that put someone of that moral fiber in office. Barrack Obama, by contrast, is brilliant and is basing his campaign on what he really believes in. The fact that he is crystal clear on his beliefs and ethics while keeping policy minutiae fluid enough to work with other good minds shows that he is a natural-born leader with the intelligence and respect to listen to others with respect to trivial details. His fundamental character outshines any degree of "experience" which, frankly, Hillary has much less of that she blabbers on about.

Not only should Barack Obama ridicule the notion, he should outright denounce and reject the idea and state that he will neither seek nor accept such an offer. The whole idea reeks of racism and is potentially destructive to the party. Also, what is her opinion of the readiness of New York's blind Lt. Governor to step into the job on day one when Spitzer Resigns.

I'm rather amused that certain Hillary Clinton supporters (NOBAMA and America the Beautiful) show up multiple times in this comment section, while some of us can never make it onto the comments.

Are the positive comments about Hillary so sparse that CNN is trying to "pad" the section with several posts by the same people??

"Get Real" CNN – OBAMA '08!

>>> Hillary 08<<<

I don't mean to be rude, but when Senator Obama starts reacting like this–first he says that he lost three states because of all of the attention that Hillary was getting since SNL, and now he screams that he will not be a VP candidate. These kinds of reactions are from a 5 year old kid. This week's SNL showed the 3:00a.m. phone call ad, and sort of replay of Senator Obama in the White House and Hillary helping him out because he doesn't have enough experience. It was funny, but like they say "every joke has an element of truth in it". When the Clinton campaign says that Senator Obama is not ready to be a President, but is ready to be a VP, you don't have to scream: "What do they want to say?" I think we all know that with these kinds of reactions Senator Obama will NOT beat McCain in the fall. "Commander-in-chief test" simply implies that Senator Obama doesn't know very well the ins and outs of how Washington works and how to work with other people there. You can't just go in and say "I am different, and I will make change"; in order to do that you have to learn to work with people from both parties, and not forget that these people are much more knowledgeable and will push on you to do what they think is right. You need to know how to work around it, and how to get what you think is right. President Bush doesn't really want to work with anybody and that's why we are in so much trouble right now as a country. Senator Obama, please take a VP position at least for the next 4 years, and then you'll be able to really talk to these people and really "MAKE CHANGE". A recent article pointed out that Senator Obama started asking other people to help him learn how to do things once he arrived into the Senate, well here as a President you won't have a whole lot of people to ask how to work with Congress. You need to be the leader and to know what to tell people. If you listen to your daughters and follow their advice on what to do, then you probably won't get very far. Obama people, please help make the change. Don't obandon Senator Obama, but help him learn from Hillary how to make real changes. Congratulations that you are in the lead, but when people tell you to do something do it instead of being stubborn. Stubborness doesn't help anybody and it doesn't get people very far. HILLARY '08, Obama-VP (no hurt feelings)

To everyone who says Obama is going to win because he is ahead is wrong. Neither can win at this point because there are simply not enough delegates left without Florida and Michigan. It therefore doesn't matter who is ahead, it's going to be up to the DMC and Superdelegates.

Presidential qualifications does not = Vice-President qualifications. If you think Hillary is saying two opposing things by saying he would make a good VP but a bad President, you are wrong. VP would be great for him to gain the experience he needs to handle everything that he is currently extremely weak in (such as international relations).

I don't think this is just about her wanting to win either. Yes of course she wants to win. After putting all the time and effort into it thus far, wouldn't you want to win too? Yes, she wants to win, but she is also trying to unite the Democratic Party. The Republicans already have a nominee, we need one asap. While I think a Clinton/Edwards ticket would be better than a Clinton/Obama ticket, I think either would be an incredible force against the republicans. They would be unstoppable. The people loves Obama because he speaks to people's hearts, but Clinton is great because she can actually get things done and knows how. There would be no learning curve like there would be if Obama went in with someone else. And this way, he would gain the experience he needs to be an amazing president later on.

Don't get me wrong, Obama would be a great president. But I think he would be even better in another 8 years.

well the truth is that Hillary has to understand that she and Bill are saying that Obama is not good enough to be president but that he is good enough to be her vice,

somehow I had this foolish notion that the vice president had to be ready at all times to be the president, but you see, because she will try anything to get the votes of the people, she will say anything, no matter how dumb it sounds,

not to mention the racial overtones that it implies. He is good enough to be second but not first. if she has not notice she is behind. Hillary you should pretent that it is day one, pratice saying, Mr. President Obama, again, again, now that was not so bad, good girl.

NObama. I am voting for McCain. An Occidental College graduate will never be my President.

Obama doesn't want no part of Billary and their gaggle of scandals. He knows that there will be more scandals involving the Clintons because they are too secretive about things.

Hillary is a piece of work. She is definitely in her own world...delusional as they come.

"If we really don't want change, and prefer four more years of the
same, then our choices are Mrs. Bill Clinton or John McCain.

NO TKO's Obama as Michigan and Florida will be counted and you got trouble as you can't carry the "Big Delegate States and I for one have had no one tell me what is exactly your problem there but obviously with Rezo's trail things could get really bad fast for you if its your home state Republicans with the plan Right?

Terry March 10 6:14 pm. Obama has no say so about Fl. or Mi. it is the
D.N.C. that will not set the delegates of those states to imply that Obama has the last say about it is really funny. But I hope there is a re-vote so that those delegates will be given to the right canidates in the right way and not the way someone like u thinks they should be given
out. Remeber that Clinton was the only canidate that didnt take her name off the ballet like the other people did. Lets even the playing field and after a re-vote if she wins those states then more power to her. But let it be fair.

d.n.c

Those with (a) a brain bigger than a bird, and (b) are learned, can allow the facts (the real numbers) to stand. Given that hard numbers do not lie, here are the facts:

Pledged delegates: Obama = 1,347; Hillary = 1,200 (+147 for Obama)

SuperDelegates: Obama = 206 (up from a low 90); Hillary = 238 (down from a high 250). Net gain for Obama, deficit for Hillary

Total numbers: Obama = 1,553; Hillary = 1,438 (+115 for Obama)

Texas Caucus (still counting) Obama = 23,918; Hillary = 18,620 (+5,298 for Obama). This will give more delegates to Obama, showing that he won Texas!

So, even if Hillary wins PA, MI, FL, and the rest of the remaining states (let us grant her this) there is NO way she can overcome the deficits to Obama.

Major reason: Regardless of her wins, delegates are given "proportionally." So, people need to deal with these numbers and chill it for goodness sake!!! Hillary is out of a place to go or hide; the remaining superdelegates know these numbers and they are giving Hillary plenty of tome to "hang herself!!!

There's no way in hell I'd ever vote for hillary. She is the very reason why obama's campaign is geared towards change and unity, and to all those who've been blinded by the true character of this beast I'd like to say wake up. It's this kind of blatent deception that's riddled this country for 8 long years, and to think that there's still some americans who fall for it is a discredit to everyone else who see's the light. You people make us look bad to the world and if it doesn't stop, america will be in twice the trouble we're in now.

Obama would help Clinton on the ticket, but Hillary would be a liability on the ticket.

They might have similar stand on issues, but their character is different.

Sen. Clinton is using a low down and dirty tactic to gain an advantage in this race. She will not win because she is just not good for this country and for the Democratic Party.

question,
Is obama competing with Bill and Hilary Clinton, I thought there was not a third term for any American President. when did the constitution change? This is the kind of dictatorship America as the LAST HOPE should not accept. 16 yrs of Clinton as president would be boring and full of sex scandals. I am also hearing that Bill and Eliot are peers often meeting and going out for Darts.

This behavior clearly demonstrates the total lack of character in Hillary Clinton. She clearly lacks any scruples, decency, or sense of fair play. It is precisely this kind of behavior that has made our country hated by others around the globe. Barack Obama is a brilliant man who can lead this country well into the 21st century. He shows the morals and decency that would make us hold our head high in the world community. No president is capable on day one – but he will certainly be the quickest to learn in decades!

Senator Barack Obama has won twice as many contests, leads in delegate count, and holds a lead in popular vote.
Clearly we can win without Hillary.

I do think the Democratic party needs to be united come November. We can not afford another 4-8 years of Bush/McCain. Remember everyone thought Dubya was going to be a one-term President, and look what happened?

I don't like the idea of an Obama/Clinton and I don't like the idea of a Clinton/Obama ticket. There are too many other choices that could unify the party better!

Personally I think Obama would do well to ask Edwards to be his running mate. Richardson or Biden would also be good choices I am an Houstonian, so I also think the Mayor of Houston would be a good running mate. Mayor White showed remarkable leadership and humanity after Hurricane Katrina! Or Mayor Villagrosa from Los Angeles would be a great choice too! I am not impressed with the way Clinton has ran her campaign, but make no mistake I will vote for her over Bush-McCain any day of the week. The stakes are simply too high not to vote for whomever is on the Democratic ticket!

Need a cure for all this Billary/Obama nonesense? Vote McCain.

Dear "Solutions"– Hillary is the one who has caused all this DIVISION in the Democratic Party! Barack Obama is the FRONT RUNNER and all you Clinton Cling-ons need to learn to count or play a little nicer! We're supposed to be on the same team- But the most polarizing woman in politics won't stop with her Karl Rove tactics and you people just go on and on about Barack not be worthy to even be on the ticket with her--ONCE AGAIN–OBAMA HAS THE LEAD!
And no- I'm not in college- just a college graduate. I've been a Democrat for over 40 years and this whole thing has become sickening to many of us.

Obama-Clinton or Clinton – Obama; I don't think either is a good combonation, there are a lot of supporters that only support one candidate or the other, I think the democrats have the general election already wrapped up not matter who wins, and once again Hillary's comment would come back to haunt her if she were the nominee. Anyone that votes for her and they think they are getting both will likely not support her when she reveals her real choice for V.P. and I would bet it is not Obama...I think bringing somone else in who has stayed outside of the bickering would be the most beneficial, I personally like the buzz about there being an Obama-Gore ticket!

If Sen. Obama ends up with more pledged delegates, and popular vote, and Sen. Clinton still ends up getting the nomination, then I believe most of the supporters of Sen. Obama should vote independent, or should vote for Sen. McCain. Sen. Obama has done more to earn the nomination than she has. Sen. Obama can bring in new and younger voter's. He also has more crossover appeal by being able to turn a red state into a blue state. Sen. Clinton cannot do this. Sen. Obama is all about the furture of this nation. Sen. Clinton is about the past. SEN. CLINTON ALSO NEEDS TO RELEASE HER TAX RETURNS.

YES WE CAN
OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

Why does it take sooo long to get anything posted here?

Are you biased, Why can't Senator Clintons supporters have a say?

Shirley Chisholm for President....not Vice Presidemt.

Shirley Chisholm revolutionized America and became a revolutionary woman known around the world as one of the top 10 most important women in the world which dismissed all negative notions of the potential of black America, as she constructed the foundation for a renewed and revolutionized American society.

TODAY....

Today barack obama has been accepted/adopted and popularized by white American media and society far ahead of getting any concrete facts and information of is presidential run.
American society has turned him into a pop-star (idiot) instead of a serious political candidate like Shirley Chisholm .

Hillary Clinton is a woman candidate who of course brings the potential of a woman candidate to the presidency of the USA, who naturally brings issues of black America to the presidency because of the shared black America and women’s movements together because of the Shirley Chisholm presidential Campaign era of the early-mid. 70's, where she carried the needs of everyone in the country.

I am one of those female senior citizen Democrats that Clinton thinks she can depend on. Where the cable people and the pollsters get there numbers is beyond me. I do not know a single soul in my age group who supports her. The opposite is true. We learned long ago what is, is. We do not want a totallly corrupt, unprincipled person in the White House. Enough of the Bush Clinton musical chairs. Look what has happened to this country in the last twsenty years. If Clinton manages to steal the nomination, I will be changing my registration, and voting for McCain. I will not waste my vote on Clinton, either as president or vice president.

I was glad that Obama addressed this speculation. A ticket with Hillary, in either position, means my vote goes to McCain.

This latest ploy of the Rove, I mean Wolfson... I mean Clinton campaign is being called "smart" by her supporters, "pretentious" by most of we Obama supporters, and several things by Keith Olberman of MSNBC--none of them nice. (Way to go Keith!)
Obama is AHEAD in STATES
Obama is AHEAD in DELEGATES
Obama is AHEAD in POPULAR VOTE
OBAMA IS THE FRONT RUNNER!
With 35 years of experience in politics, one would think one would KNOW that.

Clinton- Obama ticket, I doubt it would happen, Obama will not be Second on the ballot, and Hillary despite her words would not put him second. All that her "hints" are leading to is a lot of angry voters who think they are going to get both, when chances are, in the general election rolls around no matter who wins the nomination, both names will Not be on the ballot. The democratic party could lose a lot of support if there are peopl who turn their vote to Clinton actually thinking that she is going to make Obama Vice President.

The Red telephone rings at 3am.

Ring Ring

"Hello, this is Hillary"

"This is an emergency, maam... Mr. Obama has won twice as many states as you. He's won more of the popular vote than you. He has more delegates than you. What are your instructions?

"Ok, offer Barack the number 2 position"

"Is that a good decision, maam?"

"Don't question me. I have years of illogical whitehouse experience!"

Click.

Is this woman delusional or what? Who in their right mind would want to be on a ticket with the likes of her!!! Excuse me while I go take a shower...the very thought of this manipultive shrew with her diry politics makes me feel icky!!!!

Dream Ticket??? I disagree. My dream ticket would not have the last name Clinton on it. Barack Obama would be smart to drop a hint about who he is considering for V.P. though, I think it would help his experience argument, and it may get voters to see out side of the Clinton name being on the ballot at all. Depending on who Obama has in mind, It may help some of the undecided voters swing his way. For example, a ballot with BARACK OBAMA and AL GORE on it would most likley win him the nomination. I think that would be a dream ticket, and it might also satisfy some of Hillary's voters who want another 8 years of the Clinton administration...but do NOT necessarily want a Clinton.
AL Gore as a Vice President for the second time around may be the key that Barack Obama needs to seal up the nomination and win the general election.

Why would the Obama or anybody for that matter want to engage in a menage a trois with Hillary & Bill Clinton. She's ready on day one? No wonder she's on the comedy show! She has a profound grasp of the obvious – she is a LOSER and the DNC needs OBAMA. The sooner Hillary smells the coffee, the better the DNC's chances against Senator McCain, an American Hero.
Mike

Can anyone tell me the name of the US President that did not have to learn on the job? If you are thinking still, I will wait. The answer no one. They all had to learn on the job. That started with G. Washington on down.

People please tell me how anyone in America has ever gained experienced without getting the job that they are seeking? You get experience from actually doing the job itself. That's it, and nothing else. So that means whoever gets the vote for President in the General Election will be learning on the job, because there is no job that can prepare a person to be President, except being President. I am sick of hearing people saying Hillary has experience. If living in the White House made a person ready to be president, then we could say the driver, the cook/chef also have the experience to be President.

People research the candidates and stop letting the media spoon feed you untruths!

All this talk about lack of experience is simple subtefuge. Who really has experience being a president until they actually are? Given the same condemnation of Obama's experience that Hilary is trying to use to her advantage, she would have disqualified Abraham Lincoln as a presidential possibility. His experience consisted of 1 term in the U.S. House of Representatives and a failed campaign for the U.S. Senate before he was made his party's nominee for President.

Character, creativity and the ability to include, rather than divide, Senator Clinton, are characteristics that some of us find far more valuable in a President than what you or John McCain seem to have to offer.

In the end Hillary will win!! Obama as VP is a bad idea.

Obama winning all these red states are meaningless in the general election because more than likely they will vote republican.

Superdelaegates knows that. The purpose of the superdelegates is to make judgement on who is the best candidate to win in the general election. If they are going to simply follow the result of the caucuses then we do not really need superdelegates.

Hillary should not select Obama as Vice President because he will be so busy explaining about his relationship with Rezko, NAFTA gate and his plan for Iraq (I think his adviser said that what his saying now as a candidate will change when he becomes a President).

Hillary will win!

How ironic...The red phone ad implied that Obama was not ready for the Presidium of the USA. Now the VP has to be ready in case the President is not able to fulfill his/her duty. It is total double talk on the part of the Clinton campagn to offer the the VP ticket to Obama. Well...I guess the Clinton's now feel that Obama is ready for the job.

#2 Clinton (in terms of deligates and popular votes) askes #1 Obama(in terms of deligates and popular votes) to be #2 VP. #1 replies to #2 "THANKS BUT NO THANKS" . Who the heck is Clinton's advisor!? This just sealed the fate of the Clinton campagn...ITS OVER BABY!!

Obama 08!

CNN please quote Hillary Clintons own words in January stating that "the number one requirement for the VP is that on day one, he is ready to be president."..Hillary your words just finally caught up with you...Not this time Clintons!!!!

Obama 08 Change is needed

Obama made a point right on target.Clinton needs Obama to be VP so that she can win General election.It shows confidence of her winning alone.NY People should do better job of electing their representative.NY Governor(Democratic) is in Prostitution Scandal, One of the state rep (Democratic) said Roger Clemens should be let go free and definitely we all know the dirt Hillary clinton brings.

The arrogance of the Clinton campaign is mind boggling. Obama has said it best- by drawing attention to the fact that he has won more than double the states she has, has more elected delegates, more total delegates and beats her popular vote count by over 84,000 votes. And that 84,000 vote count includes the irrelevant results of the Florida and Michigan votes which present a distorted and inaccurate picture of these states with Obama not even on the Michigan ballot and many Floridians noting that they didn't vote in the primary because they knew it wouldn't count.

At one point I might have voted for Clinton had she been the real nominee but now given her nasty campaign rhetoric and tactics, I'll write in Obama if she steals this election.

obama supporters research your canidate he will not put on a flag pin look it up on you tube... He is getting Donations from islam!!! and farrante RESEARCH YOUR SO CALLED CANDATE!!!! OMG I am amazed so many of you Blindly follow someone you know nothing about!!!!!!!! are you serious? Id really Like a dem in the white house but if Obama wins over Hillary Im sorry I will not be voting for Him and I hope Hillary does not put him on her ticket if she wins....
Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every time I watch Hillary on stage, I feel this country have a hope. Every time I watch Obama on stage, I feel G.W. Bush is campaign again. G.W.Bush said he will bring Dem. and Rep. together during his campaign(Obama say the same). G.W.Bush said he will change Washington. Yes, he is (bad way). Obama think he can win the general election without Hillary's supporters, wrong!! Obama think he can win the general election without MI, FL voters, Wrong, wrong!! What's up Obama?

Go Hillary 08!!!

Mr. Obama should be out of the picture! It should be Clinton-Edwards ticket! And will be a sure win!!!

Clinton – President
Edwards – Vice President
Obama – Motivational Speaker

Earl, you said it buddy!

During Bill Clinton's presidency, my father called Hillary the most polarizing person in politics. I thought that was his old-school conservative voice talking, but now I see the man is right!

But Brian Davey ... what are you talking about? Too soon? You talk like there's a time frame for these kinds of things. The only time frame is the wrong time and the RIGHT TIME.

This is definitely the RIGHT time for a change in how business/politics are done in DC. Read the chapter on politics in The Audacity of Hope, he's more ready than you think.

Yes We Can. Si Se Puede.
Obama 2008

Regardless of who you support, on the topic at hand, it is hard for anyone not to admit that it was deceptive for Senator Clinton and her campaign to state that Senator Obama is not ready to be Commander-in-Chief but is ready to be VP given that the single most important criteria in the selection of a VP is that person's readiness to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

No matter how you spin it, it is a deceptive oxymoron put forth by the Clintons for the sole purpose of attempting to convince undiscerning undecided voters that a vote for Senator Clinton will also get them Senator Obama.

For all of us discerning decided voters, this is as clear as day.

So let us all just admit it, chalk one up for Senator Obama for correctly calling Senator Clinton on it, and let's move on to the next topic at hand whatever that may be.

Hillary Clinton keeps saying that she's a fighter, who is she fighting against? Is she going to start another civil war? or is she going to start wars with other countries? That's really scary.

Why can't we have peace on earth? Maybe because we have too many politicians like the Clintons?

CNN please cover the Rezko trial, Obama's name and activities have come up several times now and you are yet to point this out.

I think that this was a strategic move by Hillary which again shows how desperate she is. In my opinion, Hillary already has a candidate to share her ticket with IF she wins the nomination...and I can almost guarentee it is not Obama. I would even go so far as to say that she has probably had a vice president in mind long before the primary elections even began. I doubt she would end up putting him on the ticket anways, which will turn a lot of enthusiastic voters away if they vote for her thinking that they will get Obama to...Remeber not to count your chickens before they hatch. Unless my math is wrong she is in no position to be talking about making Him her Vice President!

Hey Mississippi
Vote for Hillary!!!! if you research obama youll see he shouldnt even be in this race!!!! Please find out who it is your backing before you vote tomorrow!!!!.....I can tell you all after what i have Learned about Obama I would never ever Vote for him.. Sorry but I hope Hillary wins so we can turn things around in this country.. If you research obama youll find out why.. for starters he himself explains why he wont put on a flag pin!!! He wont say the pledge... Watch Fox News People or research Him and his wife She has a lovely paper you should read.. Please dont be stupid all i ask is you find out the truth before you vote!!! Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama wants no part of V.P. talk, because he doesn't care about in uniting the party.
He will leave a deep scare in Presidential Campaign, like Ralph Nader did. He could get enough experience being V.P and he could build his career further with more dignity!

I have life long been a democrat. I am a woman. I do not struggle with my choice to support Barack until you mention Clinton. The only person other than a republican that I CAN NOT vote for is Clinton. Not for Pres, Vice Pres or my cleaning lady. I have been a delegate for Obama in Nevada and will be forced to vote independent if she should appear on the same ticket as him. We have to stop the same old, good ol' boy politics that epitomizes the Clinton legacy. And that is why I would have to go against my heart and dream for our country and vote against a Clinton/Obama ticket or even Obama/Clinton. I fervently support who he is. I dream of a new day and not more of the same old Day 1 again. I support experience of judgment and not of being a showpiece, or a non-elected co-president, or whatever her experience was all about. She has proven that she is willing to do and say whatever to manipulate people who either don’t care or have time to hear what it is that she is saying. My Grandmother for a time when she was blinded by the idea of a woman as Pres, did for a minute support Hillary. However as her dream of a woman bleed into the dream of the right person, she split from the “easy” and came to her senses and now supports CHANGE!! Our family won’t vote for any Clinton… This is arrogant with a lack of respect, or more of her same.. Shame on you hillary Clinton. You’ll be shocked when America doesn’t support you, especially if you bully your way to this nomination.

Obama is lucky to just be considered for VP.

Hillary is, by far, more intelligent, more experienced, more capable, more able to deliver, much more hardworking, more qualified to be in the Oval Office, is more about substance than rhetoric, has already achieved so much more ... and the list goes on.

I will not vote an OBAMA_CLINTON ticket. (Sorry Hillary but you are by far too good to be his VP).
This is not about race or gender. This is purely about who is ready to be President. I will sooner vote McCain if there is a Obama_Clinton ticket. because Obama does not have the experience to be President and the Oval Office is not training camp.

I liken Obama's ambition to be President to someone who demands to be conferred a Bachelor's degree without doing the 4 year college.

Hillary must have a humiliation fetish. Barack effectively belittled her over this issue and the press replayed it relenetlessly.

Why wont anyone state the obvious??
Hillary is telling Obama to go to the back of the bus!! I hope this blows up in her face more than Bill Clinton's remarks in S.C.

Oh come now. The dream ticket is McCain and Jeb Bush.... yikes!

Hiliary and Obama – a Dream ticket?

It would be much wiser if a President picked someone they could be civil with.

There are some other good strong Democrats to choose from.

How come CNN does not report the relationship of Obama and convicted Terrorists Reese & The Woodland Group. The Woodland Group gave Obama money to run for Senator. This story broke on Saturday but CNN hasnt touched it so far. Wont matter, words getting out anyway and they'll be left at the gate.

Clinton or Obama alone cannot beat McCain, especially if the democrats got mad and stay home or will vote for McCain.

With Obama on the Democratic side, if McCain can resist the fundamentalist Republicans, he will get the independents and the centric democrats.

With Clinton, the fundamentalist Republicans will vote anyway.

Who's on first...

I guess Hillary supporters really are blind. How can you possibly think this is a "unifying" gesture? She is in 2nd place! This is not unifying, it's insulting to the frontrunner. If she had secured the nomination it would be a unifying gesture. Obama is not arrogant for speaking up on this. He should not let Hillary cast herself as the frontrunner. Secondly, who wants to play 3rd string to Bill? Look at what 3rd string did to Al Gore. I think people forget how all of the scandals from the Clinton years (and I was a Clinton supporter) contributed to the loss of the WH to Bush II. Even if Hillary were to win the nod, Obama shouldn't accept a VP spot from her. When the Clinton's sink, they take everyone down with them.

Obama is strong enough on his own – and Clinton is beginning to realize that. If he's not experienced enough or McCain is a better candidate (according to her) – then why would she put him on her imaginary ticket? Oh, that's right. Because this is happening in the alternate universe where she becomes president.

Obama 08 – working with ALL Americans to get things done (not just blue states)

I have to be honest, the thought of another Clinton in the white house truly makes my skin crawl. I just can't get past her fake smiles, empty words and nasty-snide remarks, that make her seem like a 'fighter' to her devout followers. When I listen to her speak most of the time I'm thinking everything thats coming from her mouth is just another manipulative tactic to get what she wants, but she could honestly care less about whats really going on...and I just flat out don't trust a thing the woman says. And as cruel as that may sound I just get the most troubling feeling at the thought of her being in the white house.

I use to be a supporter of hers, but I just don't think she knows how to lead is down the path of unity...and more than anything we need someone who can pull this country together and stop the Democrat on Republican bickering.

And I think Obama is the man for the job.

Since Obama is winning so many of the so-called "Republican states" I wonder if Republicans are voting in the Democratic primaries there? I know it's not a new idea but it does make me wonder.

I'm sure they are just itching to get their claws into him in the General Election.

They will make his campaign against Hillary look like a walk in the park.

You Obama kiddos need to wake up. Having no problematic history because you have NO history is not necessarily a good thing. Go back and look at his very brief Senate history and you will see that his major goal has been to stay above the fray - even if meant not getting the work done that he was sent there to do.

This isn't high school. The goal is not necessarily to get the most friends. It's to get the job done.

Hillary can get the job done.
Hillary 2008

I believe all three, Obama, Clinton, and McCain are qualified to be the president. However all three display some undesirable traits. McCain has anger management problems, and has the Republican ideology, that I fear will be the ruin of this country. Compairing Obama and Clinton, Clinton is devisive, but has more experience and better work ethic, while Obama is a silver tonged, new blooded, idea man. Personally I'd like to see, Clinton as president, Obama as vice president, Edwards as Attorney General, and McCain as Secretary of Defense. I feel Edwards is well qualified to go after all the illegal, and immoral big business's that have permeated since Bush came into power. My choice of McCain for Secretary of Defense is based on my belief, that our enemies would fear his anger and tanascity, kinda like a bull dog on a leash. I truly believe, if Clinton and Obama were on the same ticket, they would be elected by a very mandating landslide, effecting the total destruction of the republican party for many years to come, that's what would restore this country to it's rightful place in this world.

Sadly, the Democrats are going to lose in November. If Obama loses, his supporters will vote for McCain. If Hillary loses, her supporters will vote for McCain.

Any way you look at it, McCain is the big winner in this whole Democratic mess.

Our society has evolved from people voting for a party to people voting for people.

Dream Ticket ..NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!! Why....
Hillary has been insulting..Hillary has tried to demean Baracks successes in the smaller states....Hillary has repeatedly said Barack is not qualified to answer that 3:00am phone call...Hillary would try to steal the election with Super Delegates...Hillarys actions during the campaign are a PERFECT example of way American Politics has been the last 12 years and America is really getting tired of it. If Hillary was another male doing the same thing, she would lose about 30% of the women vote she is currently getting. Is she qualified..YES..does she have the right character..ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I want to see a woman become President, but NOT THIS ONE!!!

I think Obama makes a great point in reminding us that HRC has said he is not good enough to be president of the US, but somehow he is good enough to be Vice President? She again loses credibility.

Obama can win both the nom and the general election without her...and he certainly will.

Obama '08

Read carefully people. Not once does Obama flat out say he would turn down a Clinton offer for VP. All he says is that he is "not running for vice president." He or his staff chose his wording very carefully, everyone else including the media just filled in the blanks. He wouldn't dare make such a definitive statement because you know if Clinton really does win the nomination, he would accept the VP offer in a heartbeat. Otherwise, who knows what the political climate will be or where Obama's status will be in 4-8 years? Running with VP clout can't hurt. You want to see Obama in the White House for 8 years or 12-16? Think about it.

Will a Clinton clan lover please show me all of Bill's experience before running for president besides being governor in the state of Arkansas and a womanizer. It seems to me all the claims the Clinton's are making about Obama's inexperience is about the same as Bill's when he ran for president. Should we find a way to take away Bill's presidency because he was inexperienced at the time he took office. Don't you ever wonder why the Clinton's didn't move back to Arkansas after his presidency? They are all out for themselves. Don't be fooled. FOOL you once shame on them, FOOL you twice, shame on you.

how can a second place candidate start making decisions about the VP? Got to love the that scenario. Does she honestly think Obama would want to run with her. He wants to be the PRESIDENT!! and will not stop at anything less. Go Obama!

this reminds me of the scene in "it's a wonderful life" where Jimmy Stewart is considering working for Mr. Potter, and then he realizes he cannot sacrifice his principles for a cushy job.
Obama needs to stay on the high moral ground to achieve his goal.

I do not believe in Democratic party anymore. I am not angry with Hillary- she does not surprise me anymore. But I am angry with the Party. I am angry with Al Gore. Why are they even letting this happen.

You have to win to offer the VP position. It's an easy concept if you are educated!

OBAMA '08

MONSTER.....

Nice Try, HA HA HA HA !!!!!!

Experience? Other than family businesses, how many corporations would hire the wife to do the husband's job? Would you invest if they did? Hillary does not have executive experience, she was a spectator.
She is shrewd and opportunistic and exactly the kind of politics we should all be sick of by now. My hope is for Obama and Richardson.
Change is not a slogan, it is a dream for what we could be if we worked together to care for each other and our world. ps. 61, white, female, retired corp vp...

The real question each and every one of you should be asking yourselves instead of bickering over Hillary and Obama is: "What am I really contributing to the success of the Democratic Party in November?"

I mean, really, the real issue is stopping the Republicans from taking office again. Isn't our time better spent forging real plans instead of infighting like a bunch of losers?

LET US STICK TO THE FACTS

As Political Pioneer Shirley Chisholm Stated in 1972 Presidential Campaign againsr Richard Nixon, On the News program ISSUES and ANSWERS...Show "Time for Shirley Chisholm" When she would accept The V.P. Position??

She stated....

She is running for the Presicidency of the United States...and you can believe that.

Political Rasism is still alive and we must look to our political LEADER SHIRLEY CHISOLM Who addressed and conqured all of these issues and created much needed change in america so others like Barack Obama could follow in her footsteps.

CLINTON IS WINNING BLUE STATE BIG TIME * * * * *

barack would need help to get into the executive branch....

I JUST KNOW SENATOR CLINTON IS READY 4 THIS JOB ON DAY 1 –

Experience does little for great leaders. Great leaders are born. You either have it or you don't.

Hillary has nothing. She is a fabricated. Everything that she has is due to Bill. That is why Bill can be anywhere he wants at 3am.

To combat McCain's age, Obama will need a man of similar background to McCain. To combat Obama's youth and charisma, McCain will need someone of similar background to Obama.

So, clearly, Hillary does not match the VP criteria that Obama requires.

Obama isn't manipulative? If he isn't, how in the hell has he fooled so many people? After all, he has little or nothing to offer. Ok twin ticket; Hillary and Ron Paul.
Go HIllary! Sulk and whine Obama. Those are two traits you are really polished at.

Hillary is posturing as though she were leading but instead, she is losing in all categories...pledged delegates, popular vote and states carried. In fact, she likely won't be able to close the gap before the convention. And last I checked, the team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Period. Using Clinton logic, the New England Patriots should have been awarded the Lombardi Trophy because (as far as the Patriots were concerned) they were the better team. I used to post on these blogs thinking that people cannot possibly be that stupid. But I know better now.

OBAMA '08

Senator Hillary Clinton has insights how a President does his duties. Being in The White House for eight years I'm sure she learned alot.

It is not unreasonable that Hillary clinton is preparing for Obama as a VP. She does actually lead in the POPULAR vote by about 50,000

im glad barack went after hillary on this vp thing i wish he would go after her on her experience perhaps it might be good to bring up the northern ireland conflict she says she helped resolve but the truth of the matter is she had no part in resolving that conflict that is just one of many lies she has told about her experience

Obama could never do a job as Vice President or President....too much blah blah blah, paperwork, actual WORK and long hours...!
Not too glamourous! He could not do it,,,he has no experience doing it!

I find it odd that Mc Cain is now the Republican Nominee and he himself has not mentioned or inferred who his VP would be.
Just curious why Hilary is indicating who hers might be when no one does this before they are the official nominee? Is she a bit self serving here?

I don't Hillary in Obamas' ticket. She is a disgraced to our party. she should however, run with McAngry after she endorsed him, this seems to be the most logical thing to do for her. Ah!, last, she should leave our party and join republicans once and for all.

Can the Obama supporters be civil and talk about the issues or anything besides just slinging insults at the other side and claiming Clinton is the divisive one? I think it's telling that Clinton is willing to make an overture towards unity (and no, she didn't say that it necessarily meant she was on top of the ticket) and Obama instead flatly denies it and would basically tell 50% of democratic voters that he doesn't care what they think. I can't imagine anything more arrogant and misguided than to tell 50% of your voting base to go take a flying leap. This is just more evidence of Obama's general ill-preparedness to be President. Obama, and his supporters need to grow up, get some real life experience, stop with the hate mongering, and stop claiming the other side is the negative one, as they call their opponent a monster. No one capable of thinking for themselves is buying it.

There is a lot more to this than what Candy Crowley is saying. The Clintons are playing head games. First, they are trying to dangle this bait in front of Obama, hoping he would be stupid enough to go after it. (Thank God he's not!) Secondly, they are trying to fog up voters' minds, make them think she is the frontrunner, because only a frontrunner could talk like this, when in fact she is not. They are treating Obama and his supporters in a very arrogant and condescending way. But the good nes is, none of this will really benefit her – her campaign is pretty much on its last legs, and Pennsylvania is going to be just another state in which her double-digit lead in the polls disappears, and she will make very little, if any, gain in terms of pledged delegates.

Obama will never be president! Mc Caine will crush him like a ant. I wanted Hilary for sure. But i will turn to mccaine if it happens. The heck with change. I want security and safety for our nation. I want peace, but not at the price of being stupid. When Clinton was president i seem to remember the people voting for him for a second term, because he did a excellant job. Those were a great eight years to me. maybe you folks missed it.Hilary has taken all the big and important must win states. Guess you missed that too. If Florida and the other state would have been accepted, she would have won everything.It is amazing to hear people say change. What kind of change?? Change his underwear?? Thats all the man says for pete sakes. I see President McCaine if he gets nominated, you watch.

One thing I can't stand is a person judging another without knowing that person. The Obama supporters always attack Hillary for being divisive, manipulative and stoop to anything. It appears the description fits more for Obama than Hillary. The guy has support of all blacks and pressuring black superdelegates to change over to Obama because he black. Just imagine if Hillary said all white superdelegates vote for me because I am white. Do you think that will go well with media but Obama gets away with it. Lets do this, at the end of primary, whomever garners the most popular votes gets the superdelegates. Lets do away with the delegates and go with the popular votes. I think Obama and his cult followers would scream injustice. The delegate system is old and outdated. Lets go with the popular vote. As a Hillary supporter, I will take that given that we do the primaries over again for Florida and Michigan. How dare the Democratic party to not count the participation of millions of voters. It is undemocratic at best. I hope Obama people are listening. Get your immature, thumb sucking, slime ball to your home and have him stay there. The world doesn't need his kind.

George Washington wasn't experienced either. Neither was Abraham Lincoln. Nor was John F. Kennedy. But they too were extraordinarily intelligent, and good and honest people. Barack Obama is in good company. He'll be fine. He'll be a breath of fresh air. We need that. The world needs it, too. Hillary Clinton does little more than tell people what she thinks they want to hear. No wonder her campaign people are falling apart.

It is true that Clinton needs Obama, he does not need her.
It is true that Hillary needs Bill. At least until this campaign is over.
I don't see her as strong and independent at all; most woman with far fewer resources would have ditched a spouse like hers a long time ago.
The respect I had for her and her campaign at the beginning has gone and I am somewhat cynical about anything she has to say now as she travels the country to win voters.

KISS MY GRITS HILLARY YOUR THE AIDE....

OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT !!

Somebody needs to tell Senator Obama that winning primaries and caucus's is different then doing the duties of a President.

Just a ploy to try and make Obama supporters think they will get something out of defecting.

Hillary wishes she was Barack Obama too.

Obama is arrogant because he doesn't want to be Clinton's (aka The Losing Candidate) vice president? He's not arrogant; he's sane. Having Hillary as your vice president would be like having Lady MacBeth watching your back. Are there enough food tasters in the world to make that work? To say Obama has baggage is nuts. In the interest of party unity he has steered clear of HER scandals ... but the Republicans won't. Hillary would have to defend the debacle of her attempt to reform health care, travel gate, Vince Foster, her amazing investment ability, etc. This kind of "experience" isn't a positive. Even the Republican Chicago papers admit Obama isn't implicated in the Rezko trial - one ill-advised real estate deal and Rezko's contributions donated to charity aren't a smoking gun.

i hope she doesn't put OBAMA. I would never ever vote for Obama. He lacks experience and his own ideas. He has not accomplished 1 thing for someone to vote for him. False Hope and Speeches are not going to help Hillary. Hillary should pick a better running mate. I believe in Hillary and hate the idea of OBAMA. People should stop judging Hillary because of her husband or prejudged reason but rather on the issues. Hillary is the only candidate who can fight and beat the republicans. She has the strength, ability, and real heart to make it to the WHITE HOUSE. Stop the hate toward the Hillary and open your eyes AMERICA!

HILLARY IS READY !

HILLARY '08!

EXPERIENCE+CHANGE=HILLARY

THAT'S JUST ABSURD!

I think this is her last political move/game/stance, when she lost Pennsylvania, she is GONE !!

No more cheap politics, no more double standard.

Viva Obama!

RealClear politics reports the current popular vote as:
Obama: 13,025,003 49.4%
Clinton: 12,421,316 47.1%

Obama/Colin Powell '08!!!

The more I look at the response of Obama, the more clear it is that he is in it more for himself (or his race only) than for the Democratic Party. If he can get the nomination from the Republican Party, he will. The hard question for the Democratic voters (and in particular the superdelegates) is who stands a higher chance in the general election? The US people have got to be completely out of their mind if they are going to elect into the highest office someone who has professed a clear and long time "friendship" with well-known terrorists like Aires and racists and anti-semitists like his church reverend who has an unapologetically race (meaning black) agenda.

...Let me repeat myself as an independant to you democrats. Any ticket with Hillary on it means 8 more years of a republican president. End of Story.

As a Pennsylvania voter, I am sure to be sick to my stomach for the next SEVEN weeks for the way she campaigns.

Funny story, though. On our evening news, there was a story about HRC visiting Washington & Jefferson College in nearby Washington, PA. The college kid they interviewed said "We really wish Barack was coming but we'll go see Hilary. We hope he comes later. As long as it's not McCain".

Her experience is all lies. She claims to have helped Ireland achieve peace, the man who won the nobel peace prize for his work in brokering peace in Ireland refers to Hillary as nothing more than a cheerleader who did nothing but walk around with Bill. Her trip to Bosnia that she claims she had to go on because it was too dangerous for the President? Guess who else went? Sheryl Crow and the comedian, Sinbad ! It was to entertain the troops...A USO trip!!! Who released that today? A former Clinton adviser who supprts Obama.

Wake up Hillary supporters, you're swallowing the bait hook, line and sinker.

I think this is another game been played by the Clintons. These folks calculated everyhing but this time it will not work. Americans underatnd better. They are ready to be double standard as long as the votes are coming. Please stop playing with our mind.

OT

From what I can tell the Obama supporters are a self-righteous, snooty and hateful bunch. Any gesture from the Clinton Camp will be viewed with cynicism and malevolence. If Obama wins the nomination, I, a Hillary supporter, will make sure to vote for McCain so I won't taint Mr. Holiness Obama.

We cannot find a specific news report that indicates that Hillary Clinton has actually offered the VP spot to ANYONE. She was asked by the media and it has been proffered by the media that the "dream team' would be Clinton/Obama...the whole issue is totally absurd.
We fail as citizens of the United States to see how the candidacy of Pres/VP is some kind of a "dream" team. The positions are REAL jobs with intense job responsibilities, most of which are no DREAM. Please voters...the job is no DREAM!

Earl, you think Demos and Repubs agree on something? What planet are you on? Obama is the last person who needs to be in the White House. He will be so over whelmed, all he can do is run. If you love this country then you'll want the best for it. Let me help you out, it's not Obama.

Doesn't matter when all is said and done Obama will stand no chance against McCain in november.

Hillary, for the good of the democratic party...just go away. You are a proven point as to why things don't get the job done, and we the people are sick to death of being ignored. This race is not about you, but it is about WE THE PEOPLE, and not you!!!!!!!!!

I have read threw alot of what has been written and guess its my turn to put my nickle in.
I remember the Billary years. We were lied to, mis-informed, and as for not being in a war WHY was my daughter who was in the Navy sent to Kosovo? When you get down to it Kosovo was a stepping stone to the middle east.
HRC might have the experiance in cheating, lieing, munipulating, and double talk but I've seen or heard nothing that has giving her the experiance that would make her any better the OBAMA. Doesn't she realize that if you hang with pigs you get dirty?
Obama is trying to run a clean campaign by not throwing dirt at her and he has enough that he could. People should respect that.
As for a dream ticket. NO WAY!!! Not even with Obama as pres.
How can she be VP to him after all shes said about him? I think hes got more brains then that.
OBAMA 2008, LETS SEND BILLARY BACK TO THE PIGPEN WHERE THEY BELONG!!!!!

The message that Senator Obama should consider the Vice Presidency sounds very much like Senator Clinton's earlier position that he (Senator Obama) should wait his turn !

The more I look at Obama's response to the possible (note the key word here : possible) ticket with him as the VP, the more I am convinced that he is not in this for the Democratic Party but for the Democratic Party with he himself as the presidential nominee. If he can get a nomination from the Republican, he will. The Democratic Party, esp. the superdelegates, need to think hard and deep who stands a greater chance in the general election. Yes, both candidates have supporters who like and dislike the others. However, do you think the US people are going to elect someone into the highest office who professed a clear "friendship" with terrorists like Aires? Are you kidding me?

Commenting on the different type of delgates that Hilary said there are.....Is she saying she would ignore any delegates that come from a Caucus as opposed to a Primary? Did she not know that for many many years there are caucus's in specific states? Did Bill not count his delegates from those type of elections when he ran for President. Cannot anyone tell her that she does not reinvent the wheel. She cannot overturn the pledge delegate lead. It has never been done this way before and the world is not made for just her election. The process is the same for all president elect's. Is this a Narsissistic candidate or does she think she runs the way the US votes these days?

Obama would be making a big mistake if he lets Hillary be his VP candidate. Of course, he should be "on top" since he has won the majority of the states. This is Hillary's way of trying to wheedle more votes. Be smart. Vote for Obama!

Would CNN stop referring to Texas as Hillary's "victory"? Obama won more delegates. CNN is just part of the media spoiling for a fight ... and I am beginning to think 4 more years of Clinton deception, obfuscation, and psycho-drama.

Obama is the MAN. Go Obama.

i'm sick of obama, make him go away, same old, same old speech

Obama and Clinton a dream ticket??? HAHAHAHAHAH

You Dems are so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In your dreams, Hillary. Sigh.

Hillary wants Obama in the White House to answer the phone for her at 3:00 am in the morning.

It's too bad Obama told Ohio and Texas he would open up the free Trade deal. But told Canada it was just political campaigning and nothing to it.
What else did Obama say that was just politicing, personally I think we should be able to trust a leader.

Time to consider McCain ?

I am dumbfounded that CNN the "Best" has not seen through this Politics 101. The Clintons have you and Ms. Croowley duped. "The Keep them Guessing" strategy works only if you are dumb enough to let it happen or if you are a PARTY to this dumbness. Which one are You? You all have chased this dog enough... Why don't we look under her coat tail a little. She's just standing there waiting for you all to be thrown another bone! Chase this one! Let's get real!
Barack is the true leader.
He may have lost Texas in the popular vote, yet won the delegates...Hm!! She has not beaten him by a hughe majority yet. Those states he lost garnered him enough votes, i.e. Texas etc., to easily project that with the votes he will pick up by being the nominee allows him to win the state in November.
The Hillary and Bill show gets 2 times the coverage Barack does on your show. Rather than showing several live feeds from Barack you show Ms. Crawley talking about what she thinks Barack is saying, yet you show live feeds of Bill and Hillary. Giving them twice as much air time. Come on guys you can be better than that. Do I have to watch MSNBC? You're almost getting to the "Fix News" acclaim.. Only Jack is calling it straight!

Hillary Clinton is just a pain. I would rather have 4 more years of Bush.

Hillary's brand of politics is exactly what Obama is campaigning to end... I believe the American people are smarter than to fall for this latest trick from the deceitful and woefully mismanaged Clinton campaign.

NEVER has the candidate in first place accepted an offer of VP from one of the lesser candidates. Does Hillary somehow think she's ENTITLED to the Presidency? It would seem that way since she's offering positions as though she's clinched the nomination. It's presumptuous, insincere and insulting.

The simple reality is that Sen. Obama will win this nomination by sea and by air... he will lead her in delegates and the popular vote by the convention, and the Super Delegates will ratify his nomination. Hillary should concede with what dignity she has left and perhaps Obama will see past all the personal attacks she has brought against him and extend her a position in his White House.

Hope. Change. Strength. The right choice for America!

OBAMA '08!!!

Why has Obama not got anything to say about the Presidency of Bill Clinton?
Where was Obama during Bill Clinton's presidency?
What does he have to say about the economic management of the Clinton years?
Why are the media so mute on all the good benefits that African Americans, and all Americans enjoyed during the Clinton years, but only refer to his failings?
Why is it that the media show John Kerry endorsement of Obama as a positive when Kerry LOST could not even beat Bush in 2004?
Is there a possibility that Kerry is supporting a nominee who will lose to McCain?
Why doesn't Obama specify what changes he would make to back his claim that he would do politics in Washington differently?
Does Clinton not spell out the changes she would make?
It was noticed in the debates in Texas and Ohio that instead of outlining the "changes" he would make, he merely agreed with those that Clinton has outlined. Did he copy most of Clkinton's health care proposal, and merely inserted a little twist regarding how people would pay for it? Experience tells people like Canadians and some EU countries that some plans like health care MUST be mandated for all, with government financial support for those who cannot pay.
INexperience is revealed when one tries to say " yes, I agree with universal coverage, but I don't want to mandate it.
Well check human nature in the Western world, Mr. O!!!. What would happen if all some state governments governments said " Well, to drive an automobile, drivers' licences are NOT mandatory, you can still drive if you want to - without penalty?

hilary..?
obama...?
hilary..?
obama...?

its funny how politics has so conveniently been labeled a game.... its a race for da precidency, not about who is a better person, or a fit leader. its like being at a store where 2 competetitors, wid thier product being, hilary and obama respectively, are waging marketing wars to da people of america. this so called blog is evidence as to how divided the people are in this counrty. we preach freedom and liberty to the world, yet are unable to to stand next to our fellow man with different opinions. the president only represents wat da people vote for, and our last 2 elections testifies wat kind of gunho soceity we are emerging to be. i think whoever may become president, either hilary or obama, dey wil have a lot on their plates and will have a very difficult time on delivering on promises dey make now. the whole idea of elections, campaigning, and wat not is jus to get votes. and guess wat, regardless of the out come, it will mostly affect the average american families, the people, us. a president doesnt make a nation, we, da people do. and unless we bond togeda, wats da worth of defending this great nation, of the divided........?????

Hillary and Bill mentioned about the dream team not because of not what the majority of you think the reason is. Hillary and Bill aren't stupid! They both know very well that Barack will flatly reject the idea-and it worked!

If Hillary becomes the nominee, she is not obligated or pressured to ask Barack as her running mate. She can choose anyone she wants as Barack already rejected the notion of being the V.P. It is not because she wants the black votes.

You guys are so easily fooled!

To moderator: I dare you reject my comment

Candy Crowley should go back to writing about municipal politics. A serious political analyst/reporter she is not. (Nor are any of the rest of the pack). She is so biased toward favoring the Obama camp that she makes a mockery of journalism. When I turn on CNN I expect to hear unbiased commentary and facts, not the consistently skewed reportage that we are subjected too. Goodnight and goodbye CNN.

I honestly think it would be good for Obama to be vice President and Hillary Clinton the President. Think about it, after more experience, Obama could run for president in the future. I know he knows she's a great candidate. Consider it Obama.
I know if he runs for President in the future, he'll get elected. But Hillary through her experience would be the best president now.
I wish Obama was more humble to accept Vice Presidency if Hillary gets nominated. I'm sure Hillary would accept Vice Presidency if he gets nominated.

Ummm...has anyone told Hillary that she is LOSING the race?

Obama can't win the states necessary to win in November. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, etc. If he couldn't win those swing states he he can't win in November. Obama '08 will end up with a Republican in the White House again.

A Vice President does not have to be ready on day one, Only the
President has to be. Ideally Obama, second on the ticket, could learn
on the job, during Clintons 4 year Presidency. Then later become a
great leader more ready to respond to that red phone call! The vice president is a helpmate, not the decider. The chance that Hillary wouldn't survive is slim to none! Still, its safe for Hillary to choose him, because Obama is a fast learner and he would follow her lead.

The Clintons are great at double-speak, mudslinging, and lying, lying, lying. And neither of them can imagine losing to anyone. We've all known that for decades. So what's new?

It is not all that far-fetched to suggest a Clinton/Obama ticket when they BOTH carry over 13 million votes! If Clinton wins the nomination, it would be a good to include the other half of the party. Let’s be inclusive, why not?

As of 3/8/08 the popular vote total looks like this: Obama has 13,025,003 votes (49.40%) to Clinton’s 12,421,316 votes (47.10%)

But with Florida and Michigan thrown in, Clinton flips to the top with 13,620,611 votes (47.40%) to Obama’s 13,601,217 votes (47.30%)

This is a close race folks. But you would not know it if you listen to those who say Clinton should step aside and let the Democratic Party prepare for the general election. No way. Why do you think Michigan and Florida bucked the party? They wanted to have a say in the selection of a candidate. So, now just keep your socks on and let all of the states vote. Let’s see who comes out on top when all states have voted.

I thought Hillary had campaigned for McGovern against Nixon. So why is she trying to pull a Hubert Humphrey and cripple the front-running Democrat for the general election? On reflection had she decided the Nixon presidency wasn't so bad?

Another Democrat circus act!!!!!!!!! HAHA

Thank God for Republicans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain 2008

GO HILLARY! KEEP MOVING ON, KEEP GOING STRONG, GO ALL THE WAY!

Presumably then, JFK at 44 should have been Johnson's VP? And pray tell, Hillary, was JFK too young to be C-in-C?

Clinton offering the VP position to Obama is not hers to offer, Hello, he's the front runner, he has more votes, won more states. Bill may have been able to blow smoke in your face but that no reason to be delusional. Nobody in the Clinton camp want to admit that Obama has won more states and the majority of states that he lost to Clinton in is not by a wide margin. a 51% – 48% victory in Texas is as close to a tie as anything. And all this talk of corruption, oh I'm sorry I meant experience is overrated.

Hillary would not make a good vice president. She would stab obama in the back

No more Maui Wowee for you, Bill...This is not a dream ticket, it would be a nightmare ticket for Obama to select Hillary as his VP.

The only dream ticket is Hillary and Bill minus Obama.

Reality is setting in with Senator Clinton. She knows that she has fallen behind, and the best thing for her to do is come up with an inclusive plan to attract Senator Obama's supporters.

Give it up Hillary! That is so low. If you can't win people honestly, just go sit down.

She can't win by herself and she can't win with Obama.

In her heart she knows it's over, but I guess she is trying to keep her dream alive. Well, keep dreaming, but it's time for her to take it somewhere else.

Vote Hillary! She is WAY more qualified and not only has the experience but more importantly has the KNOWLEDGE to be president.
Obama will LOSE to McCain. Obama is the next McGovern

Come on Mississippi. Show us all what you think of this person's arrogance...offering the front runner the second position, then saying today what Obama had the wisdom to say all along...it is too early to be talking about VP candidates.

Hillary is just being gracious to Obama, as if to say IF the super delegates make her the Demo candidate, trying to soften the blow and disappointment, there might be a place for Obama as VP.......but Barrack has said before "it's NOW or never for him to be President....Michelle has said he will not run again....he is trying to create some urgency for HIM to be the candidate now,....OR he'll just go home......I've always said.....Obama is ADHD...unless he can travel the world as President, he has no interest in sitting in the oval office, alone, with no audience to cheer him on......he is not party loyal, Michelle is not proud to be an American --- I love it that the Clintons are finally snaking out the TRUTH about Obama, so his supporters can think this over.....it is for sure the super delegates will look at the much bigger picture.......Hillary 08

Hillary Clinton like her husband are frauds. Like the rest of them including George Bush they think the American people are ignorant, naive, and intellectually lazy, every nation on this planet is working towards change but this country. It is not that we the people don't want it but we have people in power who are trying to keep us where they want us. It is time to rise up and demand more and get results. Go Obama.

This is just plain stupidity from the Clintons. Obama has more pledged delegates. He has more popular votes. My logic is not the greatest, but how can the loser suggest that she should be first and he second. I think it was a ploy that backfired. I also think that the Clintons will do and say whatever they think my work. Moreover, if anyone believes that Hillary would actually be the "REAL" President if she should become president is living on Mars. BILL will be president again.

There is also a problem with the way the MEDIA say thing too about these officials running to be the next president of this country.

We all know that the MEDIA have to make money from advertisment from these candidates when they run a commercial, but they the MEDIA need to be more open minded as well. I see a lot of BIASNESS a lot of times which is bad for one candidate or another...

Think about what i'm saying? You know who you are.

LA, CA....

Hillary is showing how desperate she really is. She knows that she will not win the nomination fairly, so she and her husband will try anything and do anything and say anything to win. If they do somehow cheat and win the nomination, I will vote for McCain. For the sake of the democratic party and the country she should suspend her candidacy. But that is the problem, it is not about the country or the party, it is about her and her husband's legacy.

Hillary's offering "2 for Tuesdays" starting on March 11th.

Does this mean we get 'double coupon days" in November?

I think Hillary would be foolish to have him on the ticket. Electing a women will be hard but electing a women and a Black man would be impossible. The country is getting there but it has a ways to go.

One more thought... I think Hillary's campaign has finally "jumped the shark" in suggesting that Obama be her running mate while she's actually losing the race to him. This is no doubt a turning point... I can't wait for her to point out his lack of experience again after suggesting he be her VP... doing so would be nothing more than delusional psycho-babble... how dumb do you think we are Hillary? You set yourself up for it.

And another thing... how comfortable do you think Hillary will be sitting at the same desk, in the same exact office, where her husband on multiple occasions fornicated with an intern? It's got to get to her at some point, I mean... c'mon really, think about it... would you want to take over your ex's job and their office where they were caught screwing around with the help... on the desk? Yeah... good luck with that!

Subject THIS IS CLOSE

The Doctors Says:

A French doctor says, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor says, "That is nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in four weeks."

A British doctor says, "In my country medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have both of them out looking for work in two weeks."

The American doctor, not to be outdone, interjected, "You guys are way behind. We are about to take a woman with no brains, and no heart, put her In the White House, and then half the country will be out looking for work."

You know what? I initially thought of a Clinton/Obama ticket after Bill came up with the idea but I would rather she had McCain as her vice president then that nobama swell headed nonothing fueled by who knows what kind of bizarre trip with his who knows what is up church of his and Farrakan? Spare me, really. Nobama is a sickening dude with nothing to offer except his meaningless charisma which signifies nothing and has no direction.
p.s. He should be happy if Hillary wanted him to be vice president because it's a big jump from being a senator and he sure isn't qualified to be president.

Hillar y somehow think that she is entitled to the president's position in the White House despite her second place position. I don't know why she doesn't just move in. This presumptuous behaviour should not be tolerated by the electorate. America reject Hillary and her Republican tatics. Obama 2008.

Hillary to Obama: Back of the bus!

Wolf,
I notice CNN is now back to pushing Obama. I watched this weekend and today and all you see and hear is Obama, Obama and Obama. I've heard his HOPE speech until it's starting to get real old. Why can't CNN just report both Candidates evenly? After bashing Hillary for months she gets a little reprieve from CNN and wins Texas and Ohio then the Obama fans complain because CNN stopped giving him 80% of their air time and it looks like CNN is responding to their cries. Just be fair!!!!!

I don't like a liar to be the VP of Hillary, he's good only in singing but no solution in doing something, talk and talk can't solve the problem.

Where does Clinton get off suggesting that O'bama be vice president when O'bama is in 1st place? I thought O'bama wasn't ready to be President, now she's suggesting she be vice president? That statement contradicts her earlier statement that a vice president should be ready day 1. When called on it, now she's stopping all that talk. Sorry folks, Clinton makes me sick. She flip flops all over the place. I have voted republican all my life. This is the first election that I am going to vote democrat. O'bama makes me feel something that I haven't felt in a long time. Hope. If O'bama doesn't win the democratic primary I will vote for Mccain even though I don't like him. I just don't like Clinton more.

It's a good test that clearly shows Obama is in the game plainly for the power

The more I read , the more I see, we're all getting to the same page. If " They " give this nomination to Obama, about 50% of all Dems are going to be voting for MC Cain. That's roughly the amount of the state splits. He's slightly ofer 50% of the vote in most places. Keep it up rude people.

UNBELIEVABLE! This totally ticks me off!! This is more clintonesque doublespeak, designed only at re-framing obama as #2. There is NO concern for the party or sincerity in the idea...its disgusting, pretentious, and frustrating! Albeit only time will show if voters are stupid enough to make it effective. C'mon billary...compete above board. But then you know doing so exposes your shallow self-serving agenda and need for power.

NEVEROBAMA needs to wake up! Your candidate (Hillary) sure thinks enough of Obama to suggest on multiple fronts the possibility of a joint ticket. Oh but maybe that's her self-serving, political machine at work....she really doesn't mean it, does she? At this point, Hillary has shown her true colors, as well as proven that she will do WHATEVER necessary to get the nomination...America is really TIRED of the same ole politics. Isn't there a two term limit on the Presidency....Bill can't run again. Enough of the Clintons and thank goodness we're getting out of the Bushes.

Barack the Vote!

To the Clintons "the end justifies the means".Hilllary will trample over anybody or anything to get what she wants.Lies or truths are interchangeable if Bill or Hillary want to achieve something.

Senator Clinton is trying her sympathy trick, again. She has no intentions to joint ticket with Senator Obama. Ask her about the running her possible running mate from Pennsylvania.

GOD LOVES AMERICA AND AMERICA HATES HILLARY. Her sleazy attempt to short-circuit Obama's campaign is backfiring. This is yet another example of the woman who would be queen but can't even manage her own campaign .

The comments on many of these blogs, and particularly this one, are truly frightening. First, illiteracy is apparently running rampant with so many people unable to write 3 – 4 coherent complete sentences that are spelled properly. These people get to vote - how scary. Second, people who see their vote choice being between Clinton and McCain have no credibility in the Democratic party and must secretly be wishing for a Bush third term with continuing international mayhem. Finally, it amazes me that so many Democrats want to chose a strident, manipulative, moody, rude, angry, reactive and deceitful human being for President. These are the qualities of Republicans. I am giving my head a shake.

Anyone who some how thinks that a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket is unstoppable is CRAZY.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA-CLINTON CLINTON-OBAMA.

I am a big, huge Obama supporter. I'm trying to help him win my state (Pennsylvania). And if Obama took the VP under Clinton, I would lose respect for him because it would be proving that he's really not going for change. Could the argument be made that he's trying to unify the party? Yes. However, Clinton winning the White House is a bad thing, worse I believe, than John McCain.

That said, if it's an Obama-Clinton ticket, I'd be rather unhappy too. The Clinton's have had a negative influence on American politics. This is unfortunate, given that Bill had a decent 8 years in office.

I'm 22, born in 1985. In the White House (VP!) was a Bush. Then a Bush was president. Then Clinton was president. Then a Bush. The last thing I want is another Clinton. Not only do I think that she'll be extremely polarizing (more than G.W. Bush), but I can't stand the thought of a Democratic royal line, just like the Republicans have the Bush's. I've never been too keen on Camelot. We don't need a Waterlot.

Where's Hillary's experience? There is none. Where's her "likeability"? There is none. Where are her ideas to change America for the better? There are none. She & Slick Willy are the most dirty, despicable, disgusting "couple" in America. Please stop taking a swill of their KoolAid & think for youself. Vote McCain or Obama. Or... a true Dream ticket – "Mr. Experience" McCain, "Mr. Change" Obama! Try that for once, America! I'd vote for it!

HILLARY IS DESPERATE AS EVER. ACTING LIKE SHE'S IN THE DRIVERS SEAT WHEN YOUR CLEARLY LOSING IS A NEW LOW– EVEN FOR THE CLINTONS.

LIKE OBAMA SAID IN ONE OF HIS DEBATES.... " HILLARY CAN BE MY AIDE" SOUNDS LIKE THE RIGHT POSITION FOR HILLARY.

BILL CLINTON TO EVEN SUGGEST THIS IS BENEATH AN EX-PRESIDENT. JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW LOW A CLINTON WILL GO TO SUIT THEIR MEANS. CORRUPT.

OBAMA '08 : REAL CHANGE – FOR REAL AMERICA

Ok, I have a comment. Since 1981, the Vice President or President role has always been filled by a member of 2 families... the Bushes and the Clintons. It began with W Senior under Reagan and may continue with the election of Hillary. Electing Hillary would continue the 2-family domination of presidential politics to a minimum of 32 years of 2 families holding the hightest power (4 yrs as VP and 28 yrs. as President). Am I the only one who sees something inheretingly wrong with this??? Why wouldn't we elect someone outside of these two families during a span of 32 years to these capacities??? Just doesn't seem right. Why doesn't this ever get pointed out in the media? I predict that in 30 years it'll be Jenna vs. Chealsea Just food for thought...

Who is Obama running agains?

The wife/the Husband? The former President Clinton make a lot of cynicism/racial remarks witout knowing he is saying it, because when you get right down to it, in is head he is looking at who is ahead of his wife in this election to be President of this country.

The former President Clinton is wondering how could a black man be winning agains a white woman. So race is a factor in his head and the blacks that is voting for the Clinton should look in to these remarks that Senator Clinton Husband is makiing and think about them very HARD.

My opinion is; there should be no more Clinton elected to live in the WHITE HOUSE. Did people forget why the CLINTONS left the WHITE HOUSE?

Obama will be the next President and he will be a very good one too because he is a thinker for the people and all the people and not just one group like the Clintons are doing now. And OBAMA see what is taking place in this country from the bottom up.

Without an open mind and a brain to go with it, no one should be the president of any country.

LA, CA...
.

I hope that this is read. Review Hiliary voting record. She sponcered a bill and voted against making English the offical language of the United States Of America. Now I ask you, how can this monster become President. She is the worst type of liberal. I believe that government should help people but not carry people. I work at a hospital and I see people from other countries, do not speak english getting Medicare/Medicaid. However my own grandmother went into a nursing home used her savings 1st, then applied for Medicaid. She made $3.00 over the limitation amount. We had to hire a lawyer for $3.00 a month. This is the Dems in action. Lets give everyone a free ride EXCEPT Americans.

Despite the need to hate, Hillary is the old guard Democrat.
It is her duty to try & unify this. How many times have we heard her say "We're friends", referring to Obama? How many times have we heard her say she is honored to be running with him? How many times has she said she would not be opposed to being with Obama?

You miserable people will use anything to make her bad. I'm so tired of hearing this.

If your candidate Obama was a sincere Democrat, he'd be making an effort, any effort but instead he continues to divide this party. He is dividing our country by race now too. All of that work, all of the gains we've made are going. How we will survive this campaign is going to be a miracle.

Any ticket with Hillary on it, is a sheer ticket to absolute disaster. Senator Barack Obama isn't going to be egged on by the Clinton folks, because he's much smarter than that. She's trying to fight her way back into the Whitehouse by any and every means necessary., and Americans are saying "NO!"

Senator Barack Obama will choose on his own, whom he feels is the best choice for the VP job. Whoever his choice for the post is, it most certainly will not be Hillary, that's for sure.

What prideful man. This is a petty way of saying he would not consider a join ticket, I would then find my self undecided. Considering McCain isn't that bad a guy the Democratic Party has blown a good thing time and again. al gore lost because he was so smug and so can Obama.

1) Hilly Clinton Whined when she felt she was not getting enough CNN air time so Cnn ran scared and gives her Chelsey and Bill and her speaches all the time and longer time and Obama gets only 1 min of free time of talk. 2)She whined when she said at the last debate she ALWAYS gets the first question and she "feels" she is tough and should be the next Commander in Chief !!!3)She yells shame on you Barack Obama on TV!! 4) She goes on SNL and jokes around !!5)She and Bill say Obama could be considered as VP to try to trick the Miss. voters into voting for her!! the old "okie odk" 6)She knows she can not win this primary unless she WHINES about Florida and Michigan votes and the news people cave in to her moods and hormonal swings...The only CHANGE in Hillary is to CHANGE RULES to force news people into talking about this Florida and Michigan.....NO take responsibility Clintons.....Oh and WHERE ARE THOSE TAX RETURNS?????NOW

When will this woman give up?! She has no shame and she's delusional.

Saying you won’t take the v.p. spot doesn’t convince anyone of your drive to become president. I feel Obama made a huge political mistake here. Don’t be surprised if Hillary uses this against him. If Obama wants the presidency so much, he should be willing to take a v.p. spot on any presidential ticket. Also, Obama is exhibiting his own hypocrisy here since he campaigns on being the person most able to unite people and America. Yet he can barely bring his own political party together. He is just barely the front runner as the race is essentially tied. Clinton may still win. If the delegates and super-delegates have to elect a the party’s nominee, they may not be so thrilled by Obama’s indignation at the idea of serving the party and America as vice president.

I really cannot comprehend all of the hate for Hillary on these forums. Do you guys realize all of the things she's done for our party and America as a whole? It's a much easier life to work a 9-to-5 job and sit at home watching movies with your kids. Hillary spends 12+ hrs/day working for the American ppl and the Dem party. Show some respect please.

I like Obama and I appreciate that he has never said any of the spiteful things ya'll are saying.

I've been pushing for the Dream Ticket since August...It was so obvious...Hillary and Barak working side by side! Only together could they ensure victory against the Republicans...Now, some Democrats think Obama can go it alone...I disagree...We need real unity...not just hype. I believe Hillary has the better chance against the Republicans in general, and McCain specifically...She's more aggressive and has a record as an agent of change, from the time Jimmy Carter appointed her to work giving legal aid to the poor, to her work getting handicapped children better access to the public school system, to her time as the most progressive First Lady in our nation's history. We all knew she was gonna run this year. This is our chance to make maximum historical impact...She is our best shot at securing the goals that all Dems want.

By now I shouldn't be surprised when I read a comment that says: "Obama only hold speeches." Did you listen to the debates???
Would you call those speeches? Both candidates hold speeches at every rally, or wherever they are, when they talk to potential voters. They are called "stump speeches". So the statements referring to the often made statements that Barrack Obama only hold speeches doesn't hold water.

Me thinks Senator Obama protests too much. And this whole, Obama for VP has been summized by the media and not actually said by the Clintons. Case in point, each newsbroadcast I watched tonight had no footage of either Clinton saying Obama should be VP, but every outlet showed Obama's saying I am not running for VP. This is balanced reporting?

Never in one hundred year

She & Bill are desperate. Obama is winning and they will
do anything to get your vote. They will do anything, at any
cost to win the nomination. This is just a ploy to get us
to vote for Hillary, so that if we choose her over Obama,
the Americans will feel that they are doing the right thing
for both Obama and Hillary.
The problem with that is that Hillary and Bill do not keep
their promises. She would trick us by saying. after she
would win the nomination, that she changed her mind!!
Do not put anything past her and her husband, Bill.

OBAMA for Pres. 2008 Nothing Less.

I have waited all my life to vote for a qualified, capable woman to be our next president. I know older women have been quick to jump on this opportunity because we have never had this opportunity in the history of our nation(wow). Why aren't the younger women more attuned to this opportunity?

One last thing before I go to bed . . . "She's melting" I loved your comment and quote from the "wizard of oz"! You are right on!
You got Hillary in a nutshell!

Hillary's the BEST!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enough already. Honestly, coming together would bring the Democratic Party together. I'd like to see them together, not fighting each other. I'd like to see the Obama voters and Clinton voters come together for the good of their country and kick the Repubicans out of The White House.

I wonder is it fair that Hillary Clinton and John McCain have tabs to story about them on CNN Politics and Barack Obama doesn't. Only CNN can answer that one, maybe they just overlooked it. But I think it would be more balanced it they take those two off or add him; so people that wants to know about story written about him can be found on their site.

FIRST OF ALL, THE MEDIA IS PUTTING A SPIN ON WHAT HILLARY AND BILL SAID. ACCORDING TO THE SOUND BITES NEITHER ONE SAID THAT THEY THINK OBAMA SHOULD BE VP. THEY MERELY STATED THAT THE TWO TOGETHER WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF WHO WOULD HAVE TOP BILLING. ONCE AGAIN THE DEMOCRATS THAT HATE THE CLINTON'S HEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. AT LEAST SHE WOULD DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO UNITE THE PARTY. IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT OBAMA WOULD CONSIDER IT. JUST WORDS!!!! HE IS A SELF-RIGHTEOUS EGOMANIAC. REMEMBER WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN.

HILLARY CLINTON has made a masterful move, as did John Kerry in moving Edwards into the VP slot in the '04 campaign. It may sound distasteful to the junior senator from Illinois, but in the end he gets a promotion, and this is truly a GOLDEN TICKET. Here's what's going to happen: 1) Hillary sweeps Pennsylvania, 2) Hillary sweeps Florida in a re-vote. 3) Hillary will have a substantial lead in the popular vote, 4) SuperDelegates will see the benefit of moving in this direction, based on the Good of the Nation for the Good of the States. The competitor has not been able to close the deal otherwise, this is a grand settlement in compromise.

Can Sen. Obama count how many ELECTORAL VOTES in general Election means: Florida, Michigan, California, New York, Ohio, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, New Jersey, MA and the rest states that Hillary Clinton won?????
Attention Sen. Obama: Could you ask to Al Gore what happen en 2000? or John Kerry in 2004????
Sen. Obama the red states you won are and will be RED STATES in general election... you will be red or republican votes in November 2008, please don't get ilusion now it is just "game" for republicans!
Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to win 2008 the general election for the democrat.

dirty politicians

I can't figure out why Mr. Obama doesn't suggest that Hillary could be John Edward's VP running mate? )

The only way I see Hillary Clinton winning this race is by cheating because even if, she wins any or all states, she will still remain behind by the number of votes. The math is clear, the votes have spoken. The people have spoken that they want Obama and not Hillary. For all the Hillary Clinton supporters, this race is based on ethnicity not the issues. Rather than voting for the qualified person such as Obama for a true political change, you rather place your vote is based on popularity which is common for those whom are uneducated about the Clinton history. If, Obama is nominated for president, the Clinton voters will vote against Obama and vote for McCain whom already knows that the Clinton supporters will based their votes on a certain race to remain in the white house rather than a African American. For 200 years, there has only been a white president in the white house. The government is not about to change a 200 year old tradition. But traditions can be changed. It's time for change people, our government is corrupt/broken, our economy is falling, the healthcare system sucks, our military system is faultering. Please, for once, let's put the right person in the White House. I want our children of American to know that this is a fair and just country of democracy. Not the Tyrants of a corrupt country. We should show the world that we are not indifferemt about race or new frontiers. We are the leaders of democracy.

Sen. Clinton has some **** nerve. You're effectively still in SECOND place, yet you offer second place to the person currently in FIRST. What gall. This isn't a horse race or a game of marbles. This is for the Presidency of the United States. Your utter lack of decorum and respect sickens me. If Sen. Obama were to even entertain such a notion, it would tarnish his credibility and campaign, which is what the intent was. We are not buying what you are selling, Clintons. It is no longer the 90's. We cannot go back in time.

The Clintonites are such snobs! You can almost hear them say "flyover country" under their breath. Small states doesn't matter to them. Not big enough for them, you see. Well, isn't that how Democrats lost the general election twice in a row? Wow, what a smart strategy, aren't we all amazed by it the third time around.

Give me a break CNN – this is propaganda from a losing team, quit floating this crap out there, start making less of a deal of this garbage and more of the FACT that Obama is winning in all catagories and if anyone was to be VP, It would be Hillary – But she doesnt qualify!

Obama-Edwards 08!

Obama supporters are so stupid. They said Hillary needs Obama, Obama does not need Hillary. Actually Obama needs Hillary more, the reason is that his background. Hillary win all the big states except IL. If this is republican party, Hillary win the nominate already.

What a farce! She can't win based on delegates, the super-delegates are jumping over to Obama and so she starts acting like she already has won. If this is what the Democratic party is allowing to happen I think I'll go Independent or Republican! Someone at the head of the Democratic party had best start reeling in this couple! They are no longer the 'power couple' and Hillary isn't owed the presidential candidate spot just because she stuck with Bill through all his problems. Remember she said that was for love, not politics. Oh, I guess I almost forgot that we couldn't trust anything she says or does!

I cannot believe the Obama-bots, they actually believe Rush was able to get Republicans to vote for Hillary. Isn't it Obama who is always talking about the Obamakins?

from all those blogs pro I feel, hear, read tremendous amount of hate from Obama's supporters. They go with hate, no spelling, no good grammar, hate, hate, ridicule, insults..... they are ignorant, not intelligent to me. They lack any modesty, any respect, any thing which makes human being human -real human. They call pro-Hillary people old and uneducated. How arrogant! How intelligent is this comment?

Why crowds get so hypnotized? Not only in this case, but in history it was few of leaders ( which were nothing to be proud of – they caused a lot of suffering).

In Obama's response is very much of arrogance, very much of some kind extreme egoism and selfishness, not being able to cooperate with party he claims is part of. And complete lack of diplomatic approach to this subject.
Obama is very self centered individual. All is about him, not nation, not people. He will not care about this nation if elected.... if he would think about us, he would not say either he will be elected or forget it. What kind of approach is this? Very immature, selfish, not caring about anything else but himself and himself and himself. His glory. Not people, economy, education. Not the service to people, to country. It is either him or no one?
Is there anything to un-hypnotize people?

Rather than campaigning, Bill should give advise to Mr. Spitzer and Hillary to Mrs. Spitzer. We'll see Billary will achieve more of these experiences once they are in WH

YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

If your orders are always followed. Why would it be necessary to transfer Santiago off the base? If all Obama brings is the speech he gave in 2002. Why would it be prudent in your “judgment” to make him your vice president? YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

You hid your tax returns and are doctoring your documents. My fellow democrats I move that we go to the article of impeachment, candidate Hillary has rights.

HILLARYous, is it?

The Clinton's and Vanilla Ice.....3 things that should have been left in the 90's

I think HIllary has integirty and is qualified...Obama is the most arrogant male I have ever seen...I am a Demo but I will not vote for him ....he needs an serious attitude adjustment and his wife certainly needs one...I am a woman and I cant see any woman voting for this man, as he certainly does not know how to respect a woman ,,,,and is so self absorbed it make me sick

He is going to be the president of The United States of America.You can't even be the VP when he become the president because you are not the kind of person America needs at this moment.

Well, since "independent or republicans" are supporting Sen. Obama (can you watch de red states he won?) there are a lot coincidencies betwenn He and all republican politicians. For me Sen. Obama represent the secure ticket for Republicans keep de White HOuse.
In a normal primaries, where Florida and Michigan votes count...we are talking about more 200 hundred delegates "discount" to Hillary Clinton! Please, the democracy of this country in the right to express politically in the vote. If Democrat Party want to rules de constitutional right of the democrats.... Now I could understand why republicans are laugh a lots about how stupid things happen in the blue party.
Hillary technically are winning in the BIGGEST States, traditionally blue, so real democrats are decide, BUT republicans are supporing Sen. Obama (monetary and with vote) and are destroying the Democrat party! What going on now?
Since republican are select the candidates, now they will playing in the democrats primaries and in consecuenses.......the Democrats will divided and destroy. Can Sen. Obama understand that or He will be the next Joe Lieberman?

Sorry, I mistyped above. Her mother said she was "crying and trembling", not shaking and trembling. Correction.

We the people are tired of dynasties (Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons). My wish is that BOTH Clintons would go back to private life and be do-gooders like the Carters. That is where their work is need the most.

Frankly, the most important issue to me is health care. Hillary had 8 years as the surrogate Vice President to do something about it (her goal). She FAILED miserably. Why should I believe that she can NOW do what she couldn't before?

It is time for change and I believe that it starts with the Presidential ticket and continues with Congress. VOTE OUT ALL the Congress (especially Senators) ,that have been there more than 8 years.

Elect Obama and let him lead by inspiration, like Reagan did in the 80's. We need a strong cheerleader now that can rally America behind the government.

Hillary, go back to New York, or Arkansas, or wherever you are from.

America the Beautiful is the dumbest poster I've ever read.

ATB, you do know that Hillary is not Bill and she wasn't the President back in the 90's? She was his wife. That's it. The "Clintons" weren't President. Bill Clinton was. By your logic, Chelsea or Roger Clinton could be President.

I'm frightened that people this dumb are allowed to vote.

Last time I heard Obama is in the lead! Hillary has the right to inflate her ego and pick any VP she wants, but she looks really ridiculous doing so! Its a way for her to attract glorified undecided voters. Obama will not be taken by her manipulations!

All HIllary should do is focus on releasing her tax information, the presidential papers and a list of donators to the presidential library and the Clinton charity.

That all has to be vetted before Obama would ever consider her as VP.

What are you people ragging-on about? The Idea of a combo ticket has been around for a long time. This is nothing new. When did Edwards drop out? That was day one for this suggestion.

These comments are hillarious. the Obama camp is NUTS!!

Hillary never offered him the VEAP, though she should have, she simply talked about a joint ticket.

J-O-I-N-I-N-G...Remember that old slogan called unity? I swear I heard that some where during this primary season.

By the way, equating the VP slot to the Commander in Chief is also quite silly. How many presidents were actually sworn in from that position? 2 out of 43?

Too funny.... almost all analysts agree that he will have the lead in delegates and popular vote with or without FL and MI, and she has the audicity to ask him to be VP at this point.

Hillary's being totally disengenuous. Sorry, but I do not trust this woman. Why offer him the VP spot? Why not offer herself as the VP instead?

It's so obvious.. she is so totally incensed that this young upstart Senator is stealing her thunder. She offers him the opportunity to allow her to ride on his coattails? Gimme a break. She is not the nominee.

No respect, Hillary. You show no respect to your opponent, or the Democratic process in place.

Come Wednesday, after Mississippi is done voting, you'll return back to your normal kitchen sink self. You're so obvious.

For America the beautiful and Anne E:
I voted for Bill Clinton twice and yes, I thought he was a good President, even if he had no morals. Hillary showed how prestige
hungry she was even then. Threre was women coming out of the
walls saying they went to bed with Bill. Most women would forgive a man one short affair but would not stay with a guy who was cheating on her all over the place for years and having it brought out on national
TV! Why didn't she divorce him? She wouldn't be 1st lady anymore!
Now it's payback time, so she's making him go out and campaign for
her to atone for his sins! It's no wonder the man has aged so much
in the last 10 years, she's got him by the balls. I never liked her then and I do not like her now! I remember seeing a bumper sticker on a car back then that said, "IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT . . . AND BILL TOO! She was arrogant and pushy and manipulative back then too.
I believe Barack will straighten things out but it may take him longer
than 4 years to undo the damage Bush has done.

Yes, It shows her desire to unite the party.

I think it is a wonderful idea! President Clinton and VP Obama. History would surley be made because then we would have the first woman and the first black in the oval office. These two groups of people have been kicked around and never allowed to advance since the beginning of this country. The white man has always ruled and look at where that has gotten us! Im tired of wars and corruption and spending like there is no tomorrow. Women are always better at budgeting money and "running the household". A famous Frenchman sat back and observed this countries birth and the role that each person played. It was determined that, in fact, the women of this great country DID and continue to do the hard work. If you really wnat to know what this country is about and where we all came from, read DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA by the great Alexis DeTocqeville.

While it is strategy on Hillarys part,it only shows her brilliant mind and
allows us to view Obama on the defensive,showing himself rather undemocratic and arrogant in his effort to reject the thought of being a VP.Furthermore to consider Hillary as part of his team is not even a consideration in his campaign.
Obama does not lead the popular vote unless you leave FL and Michigan out of the democratic race which would be unconstitutional.
In addition as a Indiana resident I have the confidence to see Hillary win here as well as Pennsylvenia which puts the majority vote back in Hillarys corner even without seating FL and MI.
Obama is not viable as a candidate.He has not any primaries that will be secure the democrats the white house in the general election.
For a better tomorrow Hillary 2008

Look, I'm waiting for the Obama/Clinton sex scandal to come out... You can smell the sexual energy in the air between these two. I look for the ticket to happen, eight years of hillary and then eight years of Barack, with a love child born between them midway. Billary O'Clinton...

As a Delegate for Senator Obama in Colorado, I voted for Clinton in 1992, I did not know him or the first lady, as most did not. Senator Obama, represents America just as Bill Clinton. Senator Obama has provided leadership and directions in both parties. Senator Obama , won't lead us to UN-NEEDED wars, when others (Clinton's) did so politically . We are in a time, that does not need division, no matter here in the USA or World Wide. I truly believe America is ready for change that We All Can Believe In.
By the way, I was terminated by a private employer, after being asked after the Caucus, who I was pledging too. They were non supporters of Obama, of course they were Hillary's. (O:

Please All,

either Obama-Clinto or Clinton Obama would make a best case against Mccain, the media again love to spin this up!

I understand it's much more entertaining for CNN to spin this in a negative light at Mrs. Clinton, but in fairness to each candidate, why don't I see the other side of the coin in a positive way for Mrs. Clinton if the report is to be really valid. You know, perspective!

I am so glad that all of the Obama supporters are so well educated. I have a headache from reading all of the broken English coming from these young, educated people. Take your above $50,000 income and buy yourselves a better education!

Obama should ask Bill Clinton to be his running mate.

I understand it's much more entertaining for CNN to spin this in a negative light at Mrs. Clinton, but in fairness to each candidate, why don't I see the other side of the coin in a positive way for Mrs. Clinton if the report is to be really valid. You know, perspective!

Barack is wrong about one thing, this is not same old Washington politics. This is a new level of trickery and deception that she's sunk to...

I pray for Obama and God will take him to the finish line....ahead of Hilary and MCcain eventually

I have previously always supported the Clintons. Not anymore. Hillary is being arrogant and ruthless and is trying to destroy the Democratic Party with her antics. Superdelegates, take note!!! She stepped over the line when she said Obama wasn't qualified to be President. He's held elective office longer than she has and has more national security experience than Bill Clinton did when he ran and Bill did well in that area. I had been feeling so positive and hopeful about America with an Obama wins. Now Hillary has turned this in to something cynical and sleazy–like it's a big game. I feel deflated.

Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton need to move to Asia and leave the rest of the country alone. Politics don't need them. The country doesn't need them. She needs to realize she is not destined to win and just drop out. She is losing big, and Pennslyvania isn't going to close the gap one bit unless she wins by like 80 points.

I saw someone say "Obama wants to leave 5 million out in MI and FL" WRONG! Obama actually supports finding a way to redo the vote. Considering Obama wasn't even on the MI ballot, and didn't campaign in Florida, how is it fair to just give those states to Hillary?! In Florida, they voted on namesake alone, which is exactly why Clinton lead in every poll from the beginning of her campaign until January, people didn't know Obama! I have no problem witha woman being the President, but not this woman.

Clinton supporters need to quit whinning and Clinton needs to do whats right if she wants a Democrat to win in November. She is tearing down Obama and ruining his chances in November. All she is doing is hurting her chances for 2016...

OBAMA 08!

Once Obama gets the VP experience, he will be the part of the establishment and later, he will not be able to claim that he is an agent of change. As Hillary P, Bill will be the high profile diguised VP or chief adviser to P.

Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket will be long term disaster for the country. Because though both of them are democrats, they are fundamentally different. Clinton is the opportunist who used all her links to grab the power. And Obama is a self made person who came to this far using his own talent.

Anyone with any sense can see what Hillary is doing. I had great respect for her before this race. Seeing the tactics she uses makes me wonder how any woman can vote for her. We just don't operate or think like that.

CNN: Please stop reporting that Clinton won Texas! When the caucus votes are finally done being counted Obama will receive the most delegates from that state!

Hillary's tactics are to cloud the real issues at hand, sow discorrd and
fear,confuse and spin the issues. This is nothing more than another spin cycle from the Clinton's and their operatives and it will come back to haunt them. They are banking on the ignorance of the electorate and their fears. In this they are no better than GW Bush and Karl Rove. It is time to categorically reject these fear tactics and have some sort of substantive discussions. Unfortunately, get Bill and Hill together and the issues just naturally cloud, and the political lies begin. I hope this whole tactic comes back to bite Her.
Reject these spin tactics, America!

IN THEIR DREAMS!!

In response to the person who said if Obama wins the nomination, "I will become a McCain Ocrat: " Many many more people will become McCainoCrats if Hillary wins the nomination. Most of my fellow Republicans can't wait – Hillary has been despised for so long (even by many yellow dog Democrats) around here, everyone knows it's going to be a vote against Hillary instead of a vote for McCain if she wins the nomination. In Obama's case, a lot of Republicans like him as a person, but don't agree with his policies – he's seen as a more competitive opponent because he's so likeable. Let's face it...Hillary looks like the textbook example of the word for female dog. vs

Someone please remind Hillary that Texas is a "red" state! She keeps saying that Obama only wins the small states that are "red" and she's won all of the big ones. Yes, Texas is big and red! She narrowly won the popular votes (not delegates) because Republicans here want her and not Obama. Obama does not ever need Hillary! Give me a break........

IN THEIR DREAMS!

For many months, I was okay with a Clinton-Obama or an Obama-Clinton ticket as I was very proud of the Democratic party and both Hillary and Barack for the civil way they were conducting themselves. But ever since Hillary got up and starting screaming, "Shame on you Barack!" I have been just apalled at her negativity. I hope she loses and loses bad! Barack Obama shouldn't even consider Clinton for a running mate. She would stab him in the back to take him down. That's just who she is. She will try to win this election at any cost. I can't believe she's comparing herself to, of all people, John McCain when it comes to "experience!" How absurd! Obama has no more or less experience than Bill Clinton had, and his presidency turned out just fine. Obama will make a fine president. Hillary Clinton will make neither a fine president or vice president. She's ripping our party apart for her own advancement. Her divisive, self-serving tactics are appalling. If she wins the nomination (God forbid) I will vote Green!

Obama all the way!!

There are several differences in Obama and Billary....for all you Hillary supporters...she has her husband and daughter out there stumping for her, because BILL was a president and not a good one (don't make me go there....he CLOSED military bases all over the US); I digress....

One thing Obama can do that Hillary can't is FILL at 20,000 arena with voters, with more outside listening over an intercom. Hilllary can pull maybe 2,500. TOPS. AMERICA HAS THEIR NUMBER and it isn't Hillary 2008!

We are looking for freshness in this party and you will not get that with Hillary....

IF by chance she pulls this off with the super delegates; then every person in the United States that voted for Obama and the super delegates took it away from him....America should be screaming fraud and get Hillary out of the whitehouse immediately.

For you Hillary voters...she could care less about you...you are a HEADCOUNT...NO A PERSON – JUST A VOTE....she is evil and feels it is her god given right to the CIC. The world is watching Obama and they are happy to see someone new for this world...and it ain't BILLARY (remember .. you get THEM BOTH AND THAT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME AND SHOULD SCARE YOU TOO.

Why America always demonized by some and even Sen. Hillary Clinton? They stick their heads out and some people would love to use it for their political gain. If you ask common people on the street why they don't like Amarica or even Hillary Clinton, I bet they have heard time answering why.

Sen. Clinton gave people benefit of doubt about possibilities of working with Sen. Obama. I think it's a good gesture than saying flat "no" to the question. Now we know that won't work so it's a good thing.

Somebody wrote here that how Sen. Obama has stolen the election. Funny that's how I felt from the beginning although it's hard to point out why.

I remember I was surprised when Sen. Obama was invited by Black Union he didn't attend because he was too busy campaigning in Ohio.

Listen up, everyone! It's time to do some thinking and searching for yourself. Hillary is just using manipulation to spread negative thoughts, doubts and simple phrase sound bites. Any you know what? It's working! So, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get a true perspective on these candidates. Where are those web sites that do "fact checks"? The simple statement is that NO CANDIDATE has experience at being president, unless someone's running for re-election. George Bush has experience at being president. This idea about being ready on day one is just nonsense. NO ONE could be ready on day one to be president!

Obama's reponse is pretty weak and he needs to be stronger aganist Clinton's attacks if he is going to stand up aganist the Republications... Personally Obama ran 8 years to soon IMHO.. he would be a shoe-in if he ran in 2012 or 2016. I find it crazy that Obama who's part of the Congressional Black Caucus(CDC) doesn't have a single leadership roll. He's the only Senator and he's running for President. That doesn't make sense but maybe someone could give me a reason for this. I like the way Obama has gotten so many people involved in the election process even though I don't agree with him on several issues. And please, I don't want to hear any Obama supporters bashing on McCain cause your not going to change my vote. I've already done more homework then most people and I tend to see alot of Obama supports being very rude to people who don't like or won't vote for him.

Please see some great videos about Obama to support why he would be a great president. He has been saying what he is saying today for years. It is definitely refreshing.........for a politician in this century. NO SPIN.....

There are no better people at political spin than the Clintons. I can't help but think that making history is at the heart of their rlelentless banter. While I admire Bill Clinton, (now that he is an ex-President) I think that Hillary Clinton is an egomaniacal person who is ruthless and untrustworthy. She does not have the temperament that we need in the White House at this time.

Would both of you PLEASE go back into private life and be do-gooders like the Carters. We have had enough of Clinton-esque. We are tired of dynasties (Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons). History has shown us that vision often times means more than experience.

We want change...not more Clintons.

Obama a uniter???
Obama does not want politics as usual?

Obama has inspired bitterness on the internet
I've never seen or heard or read before.

Obama supporters read what you're writing.

My vote just switched. I don't want to be in company
with such bitter, complaining people.

Obama gives a good speech and I admire his effort...however, Hillary is a stronger candidate and a natural leader. Obama gives a good presentation and means well but I could not sleep at night if he would win the nomination...I truely believe that if Obama wins the nomination the democrat party will not win the election...because if the ballot is Obama vs. Mccain.... unfortunately the republican party will win. I believe the republican's are supporting Obama more than Hillary because they know that it will be easier to win at the end. If Obama wins the nomination I will have to go to the republican side.

Im catholic, if Hillary loses, ill vote for mccain. Who cares about cheap talk.

"t's called reaching out and trying to unite the party you negative immature Obama supporting pin heads."

Umm, no. If the witch wanted to unite the party, she should drop out...

Obama is just no different from other politician. He is certainly exploiting his star power. He has no experience or qualification whatsoever. He is not even qualified for the VP job. Clinton should choose John Edwards instead.

So.... who's leading again? And what about FL? Obama does MUCH better than McCain in FL... a win? Yep! Remember, FL is GOP Land... or IS IT!?

Well, I don't think Obama is ready to be president, although he would make a good vice president.

Obama spoke out against the war, however, we don't know how he would have voted on the issue since he wasn't in the senate at the time.

Maybe Obama would have gone on vacation to Hawaii when it came time to vote to give Bush the authority to use force against Saddam, just like he did when it was time to vote on important gun legislation as a state senator. Or, perhaps he would have voted "present" like he did the other 112 times as a senator.

As vice president, Obama would get lots of on-the-job training on how to make really difficult decisions on really important issues since he appears to be decision-challenged.

You have to go back to the start of this. Hillary had just beaten Barack up badly – and she was asked by CBS whether she'd consider him for vice president. If you listen to her answer, and how she's been speaking on this, she was cornered and she was afraid of coming off too mean and nasty as the gracious victor of the Ohio primary if she dismissed or didn't answer this question. So she said it could happen as long as she was on the top of the ticket. Her answers ever since have been always been conditional. She was never serious about it. Now she's caught and she has to spin her way out of it. Bill's been slightly more serious but that's only to play mindgames with the public to get them to see Barack more as a veep than a president. Barack should ignore this and get back to his uplifting, hopeful message.

CNN stop moderating the blogs that question Mr. Obama!! Boy this really shows how biased you really are!!!

What's the matter CNN-can't put something on that is pro-Hillary. You do put a lot of nasty comments by the Obamanites, who by the way, are being divisive, by their usual personal insults. Please post my comments about the votes. The young and obviously inexperienced backers of Obama need to realize that the elections are all about the electoral college, and Hillary's wins reflect a much stronger candidacy than her opponent. For all their blustering, you would think their candidate was ahead by millions of votes-not so. Grow up.

I believe for most Obama supporters that the thought he would agree to a VP position is unthinkable!

We've supported him because of his leadership, his vision and his desire to change Washington. Should he become a VP candidate, his supporters would become most terrificly disappointed and many, I believe, would not vote for a Clinton-Obama ticket.

This woman–Clinton–will stop at nothing. She is disgusting!!

I'm tired of Hillary playing these little nasty political stunts. This is a new day and the American people are not dumb. What experience does she have at commander in chief. None! Let's check her record. She couldn't construct the health care coverage for all Americans when her husband was president. Remember she was over that, that failed. She also voted for the war in Iraq. Another mistake in judgement. Then She claims to bring the soliders home from Iraq in 60 days, but she can't even bring Bill home a night. We don't need all this drama over again in the White House.

Uh, Jude, with all due respect, how can you possibly say that all states that voted blue will be blue in the general? It's more the big swing states such as Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Florida, etc that are the key. They are called swing states for a reason- and Obama has not shown up to this point that he can capture them. Very concerning esp since we will be running against a moderate Republican (McCain) who will attract many moderate Dems and Independents.

Sorry folks!!!! Presently the race is about tied. Neither one can make it to the nomination. It is really sickening to hear Obama followers telling Clinton to quit!!!!! How about Obama quitting and going back to wherever he came from. Open your eyes you Democrats. Just maybe when the REAL Obama finally steps to the plate, he will make Bush look good. Bits and pieces are beginning to unravel and it can be practically guaranteed, there is more to follow. At this time he is a bad choice for anything. Hillary should not even conside him as a running mate, nor should she consider being his running mate, IF he continues to mislead you Hillary "basher" into believing he is something he is not, thereby getting the nomination. Heaven help us!!! The only solution at this time is Hillary Clinton!!!!

Hilary is out of control. Why would the person that is in the lead, Obama, bow down and agree to be her VP. How can the person that is in second place approach the person that is in second place and offer them the "chance" to be their standin. If anything she should be his VP. She clearly thinks that she is more deserving of the nomination but it is obvious that we the American people do not agree.
I am so sick of the Clintons and their high and mighty attitude. As a young black woman this is one of the many, many, many reasons why I will not be voting for Hilary. At this point the only way that she can secure the nomination is to cheat (and I don't put anything past she and HONEST Bill). If they allow the delegates from FL and MI to count I will change my party affiliation.

This strategy on the part of Clinton machine is not only smart it demonstrates just how savvy they are and exposes just how naive Obama is. Clinton has been hinting at a joint ticket for a couple of weeks now and this has helped her in OH and TX. Voters are thinking "well, I like them both, they are both mostly the same; if I choose Hilary, she will get Obama as VP." So voters are thinking they can have their cake and eat it too. And only now is Obama reacting to this saying that he is not running for VP. Obama needs to win some of Clinton's campaign advisers to his side.

I am a Republican who appreciates the high road that Barack Obama has taken thru all of this. I am not sure if I am going to vote for John McCain or Barack Obama: but I am not voting for Hillary Clinton. How can anyone in their right mind not see thru Bill or Hillary? How dense can a person become? Vicky

After reading so many of these comments I see just how this election has divided this country. Hillary Clinton's statement was to let the country know that she is open to having the "Dream Ticket" that most of the country would like to see. But after Barack Obama's statement today I see his willingness to divide this country to achieve his goal. I thought he represented change and of bringing this country back together again. I thought that he wanted what is positive for this country, and yet he is showing a side of himself that represents more of the same. He should have kept people guessing on where he stood.

Everytime I see Lanny Davis or that lady Kiki on cable news, I am going to donate $1 to the Obama campaign. I want other Obama supporters to also do the same. YES WE CAN!

This Blog is overwelmingly bias for Obama. Obama needs to not burn bridges. If Hillary gets MI & FL scheduled for a re-vote, she gets a mandatory 50+ superdelagates before results of the election are final. If Obama was a better politician, he would have not painted himself into a box today. He just looks petty. He has fallen for Hillary's trap and he is the one who can't be magnanimous and gracefully concede that unity is the way to win an election. It sounds like a continuation of politics of the past and he is a hypocrite!

Jay and Ed – please get real because your hatred of the Clintons is beyond basic political science studies.

Know more about you candidate before you talk bad about the Clintons!!!

Never.

Please stop begging Hillary. You're disrespecting yourself.

BTW...where are your papers that document your real wages and real proof about your "35 years of experience".

We're waiting for the real story.

Client 9 needs your help though.

I don't think this is playing out too well for Hillary and Bill. It was a good tactic but didn't pan out for them thus far. They will say and do anything to be in the White House. Most Americans do not trust the Clintons, which is mostly due to them lying to us in the 1990's.

I think Obama is doing well to point out the hypocrisy of Clinton's suggestion, and the presumptive arrogance of subordinating the leader to the number 2 position. I hope he, or his surrogates, go further to point out that it is 1) a purely political ploy to woo his supporters (youth, blacks, high-earners and educated) whom she can't get on her own; and 2) intended to change public (and accurate) perceptions that he is the front-runner. If he already has decided that he would not accept a VP offer (and I hope that he wouldn't), he should tell voters in no uncertain terms: "you can't get 2-for-1 by voting Clinton. If you want me, I need your vote NOW."

The comment has been analyzed as one that is gaming or strategic against Obama. I don't believe that it was meant to be strategically against him, instead, it is ultimately significant when democrates look at defeating republicans, particularly John McCain. The combined ticket with Hillary as the President will result in a win, the other may not.

Ed – the Obama supporters are the ones who had to many kool aid drinks.

How well do the Obama supporters know him and his political views! Get ready because the Republicans will turn every stone to find out who he really is even go to the extreme can call him the Anti-Christ!!!

Wake up – Liberal democrats this could back fire huge!!!!

The inflamatory remarks resolve nothing. Having worked in a precinct that voted 90% Obama in Texas , the people on the streets understand the power of both of these candidates beiing on the same ticket. The vast majority approved and encourgaged this move. For a campaign that talks about unity, bringing all together, being inclusive, pride seems to be getting in the way of sanity.

Whether it is Clinton/Obama or Obama/ Clinton this is the right move for the Democratic Party and America. The first step in bring hope for the future to reality.

Forget about join ticket or dream ticket, whatever you call!..just let see who will be in the finish-line of this MARATHON including bill!!

Liars can make figures, but unfortunately for Hillary, FIGURES DON'T LIE. She is not the frontrunner. Her bogus VP offer was just sad. What a pretentious and dispicable move. I think this was even lower than Rush Limbaugh's "republicans vote for Hillary" stunt ( Which has seemingly become a considerable source of votes for her). So spare me any comments that Obama is unable to unite the party, when the only crossover votes she is pulling in are republican votes against Obama that will never vote for her in the general election.

What scares the heck out of me is all the young people who are voting for Obama because they are caught up in the "superstar frenzy" of it all, but have no idea what this country needs. For instance, the girl who was in the "3 a.m." ad of Clinton's, where she was the little girl sleeping, and she is now 17, and is working feverishly for Obama. Her mother said she went to one of his rallies, and after shaking his hand, she was 'shaking and trembling'. Good God! That kind of stupidity is just what we need deciding who will run this great country. We need Hillary, and the super delegates should decide who to vote for using the reason they were developed. Good heads who understand politics the the problems of the country, deciding who best can run the country, and who can win the election from the Republicans.
We need Hillary's experience, and I think/hope the superdelegates have the good sense to vote in this way.

Well let’s see, supposedly Obama supporters can not write grammatically correct, and Clinton supporters can not add. Did I miss something? When did the term of Office change from every four years to every eight then back to four? (See deb 3/10/2008 6:47pm ET) To speak of experience is like an HR representative only looking at your resume if you have a degree. Guess what, only 24 percent of the American population had received a Bachelor’s degree by 2006. That is a total of 56,068,000 who have an education greater than a Bachelor’s degree, out of 233,194,000 Americans over the age of 15. Now if experience is all that matters then why is unemployment only 4.9 right now instead of 76 percent, because people have natural talents that allow them to do the job. Like any job what matters is who will be able to live up to their responsibilities in that job. Hillary plays politics, which tells me she will play politics in office. We have seen what playing politics has brought us for the last seven years. She also can not control her staff or her husband, which is quite disturbing in itself. What would be best is to pay attention to how a campaign is run to see how the individual in question would run their office. It is easy to see that the Obama campaign is a well oiled machine. Sure he has had a few missteps but nothing like the chaos of the Clinton campaign.

Last thought to leave you with, Obama has been pulling in independents, young voters, and Republicans. If Clinton ends up on the ticket anywhere you can guarantee that all those voters will either stay home on Election Day or vote for McCain and all the ground the Democrats have gained will be for nothing.

There should be an investigation opened on the Clinton’s and their relationship with the Republican Party. It is truly not clear any more if the Clintons are supporting the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. The way this election has been run by the Clintons suggests that they are willing to sacrifice the stability of the Democratic Party. The day to day comments about the front runner of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama, reverberates a subliminal message that is stereotypical about African Americans in America. This is not helping the Democratic Party and it is helping the Republican by supplying ammunition that will help the republicans win this election. This is an attempt to continue the Clinton-Bush presidency read and beware to make a well educated decision based on the real facts that are not discussed or presented in the main stream media.

Hillary just knew that a lot of democrats would love to see the dream ticket. I don't understand why Obama is so angry toward Hillary for suggesting it. Hillary didn't say who would be vice-president. She just mentioned that the dream ticket may be possible someday. This really makes Obama look bad to me. Also, Obama's telling Americans that he was opposed to NAFTA and then telling Canada that he didn't really mean what he said is double-speak.

Frequently John Edwards is mentioned as a possible running mate
on the Democratic ticket for VP. The no experience is a tag hung on
Senator Obama . John Edwards has one term as a US Senator. It
was unremarkable to say the least . Not once have I heard anyone questioned his experience when he was running for President
nor his experience as a possible VP who is a heartbeat away from the
Presidency. If Hillary is considering Barack as a prospective running
mate she is likely looking for someone without the high negatives
she has. Good choice but this is not a win win for Barack and he's
smart enough not to tarnish his career running as the VP on the
ticket with Hillary. I'm all for doing the right thing for the Democratic
Party but he would have to be out of his cotton picking skull to run
on any ticket with her or he can kiss his political career goodbye.

His message of change has resonated with our young people and
we(I'm 63) have done such a lousy job of choosing our elected
officials me thinks they could not possibly make any worse choices.
Some of us voice the opinion that they're too young but I think
just the opposite people. The age advantage( if it is an advantage)
is not working. Fresh ideas from our young people is not any more
or less important as our experience. The experience we have does not
give us any more advantages than the young with their new ideas.
And since they're paying for this mess our experienced elected officials have us in now we must have a new day. The time has come
for us to move over and allow the wonderful young people we have in
this country to fix the mess we have made.

What are your credentials?

Go Hillary!!! If she doesn't get in then McCain it is!!! No Obama BS

1) Hillary is playing the same game that Clinton played for years and was appreciated by African American folks who were misled to believe that Clintons are theri saviors. Clintons love themselves than anything else, not even this country.
2) When Obama is winning, suggesting him to be the Vice President also tells Hillary's superiority complex.
3) Hillary thinks that Obama is navive and he miserably needs a VP position that she is ready to offer.

Shame on the Clintons!

For PollyAnn:
If Barack Obama supporters are delusional, gee, there's a whole
lot of us! Majority rules!
And for those FEW of you who think he's arrogant, he ain"t got nothing
on Hillary . . . she invented the word.
Oh yea, she has 35 years of experience , , , serving tea to foreign dignitaries and going to foreign countries with her husband and
taking pictures of the place.
And for America the beautiful: Where did you get your information that
Barack Obama was involved in radical groups and criminal activiites?
Most of his adult like was spent in college (he has a Harvard Law degree) and in the politics? Are you saying politics is criminal activity? You spew the same BS as Hillary, no wonder you like her!
As for Michigan and Florida, let them have a "do over". A lot has changed since January, it may not turn out the way Hillary thinks it would. There votes should be counted. It isn't the voters fault that Hillary's friends decided to break the rules of the DNC. Another sneaky tactic of hers.

I am still trying to understand what her EXPERIENCE is. What did she do, what did she accomplish that is so significant ? Someone please tell me. Aside from knowing the layout of the White House, and where the "high priced" bedrooms are that were "rented out" to the highest bidder during the first Clinton presidency, just what is it that she brings on "Day One." Most of those foreign dignitaries that she hung out with are gone. If she did something that we don't know about then maybe it is time that they released those White House papers that may reveal something,..... oh, sorry, the Clinton archivists won't release anything..hmmmm, I wonder why. Furthermore, shame on Geraldine Ferraro who said that Obama is only doing as well as he is doing because he is Black. Shouldn't she be fired, or is being called a "monster" worse.

Obama just does not get it.

I love how Obama pops junk about Washington... despite racing his whole political career to become one of them.

He was campaigning for Senate as a state lawmaker. He began campaigning for President before he even held a subcommittee hearing in Washington. OH WAIT, HE NEVER HELD ONE...

WTH?

Barack Obama knows something many of us are just starting to figure out: whites will vote for someone who they see as half-white. In the end, Obama has spent his life trying to snub whites, and using his mixed-heritage to advance along the ladder.

"This kind of gamesmanship, talking about me as VP but not ready for commander-in-chief, that's exactly the kind of doublespeak, double-talk that Washington is very good at," Obama added.

NEWSFLASH, GENIUS: YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. AND WITHOUT DOUBLE-RACE, YOU'D BE NOBODY.

Have any of the HRC supporters asked themselves why Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter want Hillary to win? Could it possibly be because they knoa that they have ammunition against her? Bill Bradley said as much on PBS. They knoa who donated money to build the Clinton library and they knoa about HRC's brother accepting money to ensure pardons. If yuo think she is any different than McBain, WAYSA?

Barack Obama is the most puffed up self-centered person in

America and he is way to arrogant ; but as we will all remember that

HIS PRIDE CAME BEFORE HIS GREAT FALL.

Barack Obama get real, you have won only Red States that

Republicans will win in a nation election,

you have won only states where the majority of the voters are black.

And another thing Barack Obama should remember is that, Hillary R.

Clinton, the first female president in 2008, only suggested that he may

become her Vice-President .

And because of your arrogant response, your learning curve about the

ways of politics will take you an even longer time to be learn.

The real news story is that Obama will ask Bill Clinton to be his Vice President.That is the winning strategy,and you can count on it.
Merv.

The clintons have made my flesh crawl since the 90s. By the way, was the rest of the country in suspended animation during those years? Am I the only one who seems to remember the scandals, bimbos, IMPEACHMENT, shady deals? Do we really want to go back there?
She is showing everyone what you will be experiencing if she is elected, so no crying later if she gets the nomination. Re the argument that Republicans want to face Obama – wake up, morons. They want to face Billary, McCain would pulverize her, they are terrified of Obama because they see a contest they cannot win. Every poll that I have read says something like 47-49% of the voters in America absolutely detest Billary, add in all of the other groups and it's McCain in a cakewalk.
Obama – '08 – '12 Thank God, somone with honesty, finally.................

I used to like Hillary, then went to neutral and after her recent behavior its turned to DISLIKE! I watched a documentary about a week ago on Obama, I used to be ambivalent towards him, after watching the documentary I am convinced he is exactly what this country needs. All I ask is that he leaves dear old Hillary off his ticket.

I heve another comment as for the ny govener how long has the sexual desire be going on let us think at least since god created eve and now we make it our business to decide what is moral and what isn't for our country we should be worry out who is coming in and what we have going out before we worry about how's having sex and who is'nt . at this moment we have more companies leave herwe to go ove seas because of cheaper wages and cheaper isn't always better(toy recall) think what is more important our security and safty or who is sleepy with who?

Carole in Canada, I don't know what your "USA ELECTION POLLS" source is, but based on your source and your comment one of two things is true:

1) You read the numbers backward
2) You are deliberately spreading lies

I have seen so much of lies and deceit posted on blogs and sent via forwarded emails this year it makes me sick. I really hope people do their own research and don't buy into this crap.

Carole, we really don't need foreigners trying to undermine our elections; certain candidates are doing enough of that as it is.

I got to give it to Hillary. She knows what she is doing, manipulating her way into winning Pennsylvania by having to constantly mention this ridiculous notion of a Clinton-Obama ticket. Will not happen. No way no how. Who knows what her view will be next week? They change faster than her moods. We've seen comical Hillary, misty-eyed Hillary, angry Hillary, crying Hillary, etc. At least Obama's views are consistent, plus he does not resort to "fear" in order to get his point across, case in point, that awful 3 a.m. TV ad with the little girl. Obama '08.

I do not want Obama on the ticket at all. I don't think he has the experience to lead, and I think he is too arrogant to believe he should be in second position. If the Democrats ran their primaries, like the Republicans, and had a winner take all, Hillary would have 260 electoral votes to Obamas 190. The caucuses have been a joke, and his winning mostly "red" states also proves very little. When the big election comes, winning the big states with the most electoral votes is all that matters. We need a strong candidate who can win the big states. Hillary is the one has won the big states. Now Obama wants her to split the delegates from Florida when she was the clear winner and both their names were on the ballot. How arrogant?!!!! Clinton is the best choice, and as far as I am concerned, no Obama on the ticket at all, would be just fine.

Thinking analytically about this...

1) Clinton in november would never actually choose to have Obama as her running mate. It's all deception to get the support of the blind and undecided. But we know that already ^_^.

2) Obama would never accept it, even if she offered it. They wouldn't see eye to eye on things, and they don't exactly love each other.

3) This strategy makes her look like the "nice guy", or the compromiser, and Obama like the "mean guy", by him unwilling to make the same offer to her – he's obviously not into the deception business.

4) Bottom line: Don't get it twisted. A vote for Clinton is a vote for Clinton.

I've liked Obama from the start. My wife has been torn between the two. In this past week or two, Hillary has talked about experience that her and McCain have and Obama has only a speech. That statement slid my wife towards Obama, because of how insulting it was for all the people who support Obama, thanks Hillary. Now Hillary's talkin all this VP stuff. Are you kidding me? Dream ticket...dream on Hillary. If in some miracle you get the nod, my vote is McCain.

Hillary's prez, Barack's veep and Bill's back in the White House hangin' out with an intern smokin' cigars....... hmmmm

NO NO NO!. Hillary, go home! No more Clintons. Obama has the lead and Hil is just desperate to latch onto this star.

why does obama's website show him wining nevada and texas? he lost both in terms of popular vote. seems like hes lying pretty blatentely on his website.

how ironic how dubius and power hungry hillary will offer someone who you think is not ready and leading in delegate vp what a joke. shameless hillary do your math.

Hey, CNN, why don't you post the story about what Clinton backer Geraldine Ferraro said today about Barack? Oh yeah, that's right, you're station has no courage.

She has less than one term in the Senate over Obama for experience. He's been in elected office four years longer than her. He has the kind of vision that she will never have. Oh yeah... and he's winning. I think we can safely bag the VP talk.

Obama '08

Yes. The reason that Clinton benefited from so-called 'dream ticket' talk is that Obama responded in an elegant way, which reflects that he is inexperienced the politician.

The 'dream ticket' question brought out by CNN's Wolf Blitzer. Clinton did good reply and she put Obama in the VP position immediately in the interview. Obama only said that the 'dream ticket' is different comparing with his single ticket. Now, he is constantly emphasizing that he is running for the president and not for VP.

If Obama made his version of so-called 'dream ticket', the answer to this question could be different.

I hate this political gamesmanship on Hillary's part. She is causing the Democratic Party to turn on itself and become divided. The Republicans are laughing at us, because they have rallied behind McCain...while we spend millions on millions to try to win the nomination. I truly don't believe Hillary is in this for the "Greater Good" but for her "Greater Good." I hope we can rally behind one candidate soon, or we will hand over the Presidency to McCain over our petty politics.

Hillary Clinton is one of the most self-serving conniving politicians that I have ever seen. If she wins the nomination, consider me an "ex-Democrat" !

Obama hurts himself and our country by running for President before he got experience. His and Hillary's ticketsare so similar, it pains me to see them destroy our party's chance to change the world. We know from history, when one runs for himself, what he wins is for himself. Successful Politics is about hope, new ideas, & our nation's future. Our country is so in need of unselfish people right now, we're almost bankrupt. The Iraq war harms us physically, emotionally, spiritiually, and financially. With the war and the economy together, we're really hurting. China, Muslins and many other former allies are preparing to dance in the streets. How can anyone put self above country–if Obama does not yield, McCain will keep us in Iraq for the next century.

Obama, please, don't be an opportunist when you can be so much more. Give our country and all of us a chance. Join Hillary. Be the
dream team.

The audacity of the Clinton's to even suggest something like this. She sure does benefit from it because what they really was suggesting was that they would be willing to take a back seat to him because they felt that they could eventually undermind his endeavours as President, Plus it would keep her in position for 2016 front runner position. They realize that they have no possible way of beating him so they are willing to settlte and wait. But you guys in the media are giving her hope when there really is none and making implications on her behalf. Oh The Audacity Of Hope.

When will everyone out there understand what the clinton's really are now? For the Hillary fans out there, are you beggining to understand who or what you are supporting. She is willing to make Obama her vice president. After all the effort her supporters have put into her campaign, the time involved typing your comments on your disapprovals for Obama. She wants to now put him on the ticket with her. I hope all of you can now understand how wishy washy she really is. Hillary has proven herself to be the person Obama supporters have tried to make you understand all along. Do what ever it takes to win, even if it means letting down her own supporters. She ( Hillary) will go to any extreme level to try and win. She has just solidified the reason why I am for Obama.I see Obama as the one with consistancy, good judgement, unwavering, and committed to his country and all people. what he says is what he means, bottom line. I trust Obama to make the right choices for America.

Good Idea for Clinton/Obama, not the other way around.
Experience is knowledge and better results.

America the Beautiful: don't be so naive!!! It's Hillary and her husband who have the criminal activity in their pasts!! Obama has never been convicted of any criminal activity or affiliated with any radical groups. Get your facts straight!!!

Obama 08!!

People need to read the NYT article on Obama's record in Congress. They also have to read the article on Obama's record in the Illinois legislature.

After that, if they still think Obama is the person to lead this country, then they need to seek out a good shrink and see him/her at least once a week for the next 4 years.

If Obama is actually elected, then they will need to increase their visits to twice a week.

i truely don't think either one would make a wonderful prseident but if worst comes to worst i'd rather it be hillary thom obama i believe we will be in for trouble we haven't ever seen if he gets into the white house

Please remember hillary is doing because the media has sold the idea that her supporters are uneducated. That means this is something they would fall for but the Obama supporters or people with a hint of decency would not.

C. Wilson
I second that

Go Clinton/Powell'08

Can Hillary supporters get any more negative? She is behind in the popular vote, the delegate vote and states won..What audacity that any of you would expect a front runner to agree to a deal to be VP. Would you expect Obama to do that had Hillary been front runner? Sorry Hillary supporters, like it or not, if Hillary wins the nomination, she will need every Obama supporter vote she can get.. This isn't a very good way to unite the party..If anything, it's destroying the party..Maybe that is the plan?

Obama could only wish he could have a mentor like Hillary. I wish she would quit talking about him being her VP. I want her to win the nomination, but I don't want him involved in her administration at all. I know she is just trying to be nice, but the longer this goes on, the less I like him and the more you see his many faces. He needs to just sit back and watch the process for a few years...well, 8 of Hillary's presidency.

hillary acts as if the presidency is her birthright. and what is the whole point of that 3AM ad? what is she doing answering calls? shouldn't she be working? we need a president, not a receptionist.

No, I don't think it helps her. I think that Americans have seen how fake she is and realize that she is just doing what she cans to win. She is playing the dirty politics game. Obama on the other hand isn't going for it. There is a video of him responding to that "dream ticket" idea that is floatin around. Watching the video clears everything up, and everything he says is very true!

Watching Anderson cooper- Again CNN fails to tell the world that the NY goveror is a Democrate. Another exampleof double standards in the media. Why CNN is is not D for Democrate behild the name of the NY govenor?

This idea nauseates me! Why can't Clinton attempt to win on her own merits and not game playing and cheating to win? Doesn't she have any pride? Her behavior is becoming downright despicable!
How anyone can support her is beyond me...

If Barack Obama were to somehow, miraculously not win the nomination and decide to be Clinton's runningmate, his presence would offset a portion of the extra Republicans who would turn out of Election Day.

The Dream Ticket is the one poll after poll keeps showing will trounce John McCain. Its the Obama / NotClinton ticket.

Vote for the frontrunner with 11 years of experience, not the divider with 7 years. Vote for Barack Obama!

For all you Hillary cronies Obama is 46 even if for some odd reason he doesn't get the nod he can run on his own again in 4 or 8 years without being VP he doesn't need Hillary.

Scoreboard Obama

Hillary has basically already lost. Like Huckabee did , she needs a miracle. Hillary supporters should save there breath and go do the math, that is if you know how. You will be greatly disapointed. Even with Michigan and Florida she is finished for the most part.

YOU LOST, take it like a woman, or man, whatever you are.

I am a white man 37 years old who is registerd as a independent, but I tend to vote republican.
This will be the first time I have ever voted for a democrat.
But this so called dream ticket whos dream is it?
Not my dream more like a night mare.
If Hillary wins the democratic nomination thin I will vote for McCain.
If Obama wins and he puts Hillary as his VP thin I will vote for McCain.
I didn't vote for the Clintons the first time thay ran and I will not vote thim back in.
Right now my vote is going to Barack Obama but if he goes for this dream ticket that will change.

CNN= Clinton News Network

Wow! If she is'nt as slick as old slick Willie; might even be where he got his slickness from. I mean good lord. They, Hillary & Bill know that they have lost. Keep in mind, "The Clinton Machine"! A system by the Clintons to WIN at all cost, by any means. So because they can't win the White House out right, because america has said no, now they come up with the ideal to force Obama to put her on his ticket. They know what they're doing. Just the right amount of pressure and then Obama has to make the call. Yes or no to Hillary on his ticket. Well I for one say hell 2 tha nawl!!! The Clintons are way too power hungry to be that close (Vp Hillary) to just stop there. They would not stop until they win. Got to put em down. Leave no option or no way. Send the Clintons home, and invite them to visit the White House.

Why does CNN continue to suggest that Hillary Clinton "won" Florida and Michigan? For once and for all, the DNC has not recognized the primaries in either state. Therefore, there was no winner. CNNs job is to report the news, not manufacture it. It is clear that your coverage of this affair is one-sided and driven by the Clinton machine. This will be a moot point when Senator Obama wins the Democratic nomination. So stop the double speak, and stick to your journalistic role!

Being a Vice President is akin to being the backup Quarterback on a NFL football team. Can you name the backup QB of your favorite team?

Of course Hillary benefits from this ploy. Hillary knows she is
losing this race and, I believe, that She and Bill dream up these
plans to do whatever it will take to win. It is a known fact that the
Clintons think, 'hey will not lose, or that losing this race is NOT
an option. Therefore, anything goes.

Bill announced this weekend during his campaigning for Hillary,
that A Clinton/Obama ticket would be "unstoppable". That may
be true, but I believe that the trick is to get Hillary the nomination
by playing on peoples emotions, that the Great American people
will think they are doing a good thing by voting for Hillary would
be voting for Obama, too. The problem with that plan, it is a win
win situation for Hillary. That does not necessarily guarantee
the American people that she will choose Obama in the end.
And certainly does not guarantee that Obama would even ever
want to be Vice Pres. under such an unscrupulous couple.

Hillary blames others for all of her problems and who is to say
should Obama ever be V.P, under her, that she wouldn't blame
him if things would go wrong for her.

In all actuality, Obama is a very wise and smart man. Too smart
for the Clinton's I think he has them all figured out. Something
the Clinton's never counted on.

OBAMA 2008 for Pres. Never V.P. under Hillary and Bill.

Clinton spinning...

Personally, I think that the Democratic Party will NOT win the nomination if Obama is the nominee. Many many people will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee because of too many scandals and past involvments with radical groups and criminal activity. I think that the Clintons know how Obama will be attacked and are actually trying to protect him.

This is a blessing that President Clinton would suggest this idea.

Ignorance IS NOT BLISS...its just Ignorance!!!!!! I KNOW the dems will not win if Hillary is the nominee EITHER!!!!! I know many people that will just stay at home....The DNC knows this too!!!!!

Clinton is behind and wants to make people think that she is the front runner and therefore will probable win, so vote for her and she will let Barack be on the ticket as VP. I don't think that will happen. If she does get it, the Republicans will bring out all the dirt on her during the White House years. Bill's sex scandel, Watergate, the way he (Bill) lied to the American people, also there is more corruption that has happened since they left the White House. People did not like the Clinton's when they left the White House. They wanted them OUT, (tried to impeach him) and do not want them back again. Hilary is not trustworthy, too many lies. She needs to turn in her tax returns, and also documents about her accomplishments, her 35 years experience especially the foreign affairs experience. (What a joke) My vote goes to BARACK OBAMA, Change we can believe in.

I have to give Mrs. Clinton credit for such a well thought out tactic. I have already voted for Mrs. Clinton. However, I would give the world to go back and change my vote now that her true colors are showing.

This is underhanded politics at its best. It is quite apparent to the well informed and educated voter what she is doing. However, what we are overlooking is how does this resonate with the misinformed and under-educated.

My point is there is a bit of prejudice and stereotyping being done here. Hillary is banking on the average African-American voter not being well educated. These comments are merely a tactic to either (1) swing the African-American vote her way or (most probably) keep the African American voter from turing out to vote for Mr. Obama.

Rumors build in the under-educated portions of the population. That segment of the population does not turn to CNN or read the Political sections of the newpaper on a frequent basis. Mrs. Clinton's statements could easily translate into rumors that Mr. Obama is running as Vice President with Mrs. Clinton. Therefore, a large segment of the "targeted" voters will not show up for future Democratic Primaries and Caucuses.

Don't get me wrong. I do not believe this tactic will work as the African-American population is more intelligent than many in the Political arena believes. Mrs. Clinton, please campaign on the issues and what is best for this country and leave the negative and sneaky politics out of this.

This is a message from a once avid Hillary Clinton supporter.

It's the spring of 2002. It's 3am and the red phone is ringing in Hillary's house. It's George W. Bush. They conference John McCain. The three of them agree that the US should invade Iraq.

Oh, so if Barack's a good boy he can be Hillary & Bill's VP? Hahahahaha! Guess what Hillary? The whole world is watching and we're not going to have democracy hijacked this time around.

Hillary is open to the possibility of having Obama as her VP should she win. That isnt ASKING Barack, that is called speculating. Obama is NOT open to this idea should he lose. So Obama supporters...who is divise now? Double-speak indeed...he IS the King of it!

As far as his 'if I'm good enough for VP, I am good enough for President' crap, well..thats not what Clinton is saying: she is saying that should she have to step down as President someday, better Obama in charge, inexperienced as he is, than McCain, mini-Bush that he is.

Typical Obama sheister-talk...he is finally showing his true colors...

Hillary Clinton is the next President. It is important for everyone to understand that this is where things will land. She does not need Obama. Obama needs Obama; Obama will only serve Obama. He is on an Obama trip. Obviously, he has a lot joining in on his trip. This is a serious matter; that someone that no one knew 6 months ago now thinks he is very popular. What gives?

Yes Canada is for Obama in the hope of a safer world.

The more I read and hear Obama supporters, the more I realize how fanatic they are, and it is scary. They sound like the far right that gave us Bush and Cheney. They are so unwilling to yield and compromise. the only difference between fanatic ultra right wingers and these Obama supporters is that they are on the other side–ultra left wingers. What happens to the early media reports that said that the Obama supporters were highly educated? Educated people bring reason, knowledge and logic to the argument–these people blogging here just "spit" insults and complaints. A note: If the goal is for the Democrats to win the White House, we must win in Florida and Ohio, which Senator Clinton won by a good margin. Senator Obama has won many small states that never vote Democrat in the general election. (Also, many republican voted for Obama this time, but they will vote for McCain in November–do not fooled). As to why Senator would be best fitted for VP– He should gain the experience needed to be a great president later.

Oregon Voter,

If you read more, you will find out that Obama is in the lead – in both delegates and popular vote...if he's winning, and Clinton is NOT winning, why would he consider being VP? When he is in the LEAD for the presidential nomination?

The truth of the matter is that although Obama would be a very good president is not the reason we are all voting for him, its because no one can stand THE CLINTONS!!!!!! The country is more intelligent that what we were 20 years ago. NO MORE CLINTONS!!!! We tried to impeach the last one.

OMG!!!!! Clinton supporters should be hanging their heads in shame!!!! LOL!LOL!
Hillary isn't in any position to be talking about her VP....LOL!LOL!LOL!
For those of you that don't want hill to be Obama on her ticket...LOL!LOL! Don't Fret...LOL!LOL!
Hillary's isn't going to have a ticket!!!!!! LOL!LOL!LOL!

For everyone out there that thinks being first lady for eight year means nothing as experience it would help if you would check with other first ladies and the ones that are deceased check on what they accompolished when they were first lady.
Hillary Clinton, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Lady Bird Johnson, Jacquline Kennedy, Mayne Eisenhower, Laura Bush and Roselyn Carter and many more first ladies could be mentioned. These ladies were all very worthy of their service to the country.

I doubt there is a world leader who doesn't identify with Hillary Clinton.

If this isn't the best evidence that Hillary is divisive and would be divisive to this country – which is exactly what this country doesn't need – I don't know what is.

It is the ultimate in arrogance and insensitivity to tell a competitor they could be a good second in command to them.

It's also the ultimate in bad judgement.

She is proving that she is not qualified to be president. America needs to pay attention.

I haven't read any comments yet but I'll bet the "Obama Cult Members" are at it again. .....Okay I read a few of their evil remarks... I was right. Do these "Cult Members" work? Are they out to destroy our country? ...the World?

If anything, as a former fence sitter leaning towards Hillary, now I know Hillary can't be trusted. if you align her Hillary/Obama ticket with what she was saying last week in regards to Obama's experience, now its evident that shes just an empty suit, who lives and dies by the polls. Shes the type of person that has to look at a poll before she makes a decision. That was evident in her vote to go to war in Iraq and i think its evident here, in her "proclomation" to make Obama VP. Its ridiculous, she has an outside chance, at best. So her asking Obama to be VP is completely ludicrous.

Sorry Hillary. You lost my vote and my support.

HILLARY BENEFITS. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BENEFITS.
AMERICA BENEFITS. WE COULD HAVE 16 YEARS OF DEMS IN CHARGE AT THE WHITE HOUSE,

i have noticed that people seem to be fairly negative to Hillary for no appernt reason other then the fact that she was part of the 'horrible' 90's. i am not saying i voted for her or that i didn't vote for her it is just dissapointing to see people jump to conclusions. i do beleive Obama will bring change to politics- he already has short term wise, by revamping the Democratic Primary. however i do not beleive he can change politics for long term. Go as far back in history you want-FDR, Washington, Scipio, Pericles, even to the Sumerian empire with the election of the Ensi and Lugal; its all the same politics sling mud, make false images, and make promises they can't keep. I am not trying to be cynical but in running for any office all you can really offer is your word, and make sure that the other person won't keep his. Besides the Primary is not about the people it is about the party. This is not a general election. It is fallacy to think that the person with the most popular votes should win by default. Let the party deceide between Hillary and Obama for which one would benefit the party the most and be able to win among Dems, Reps, and Ind.

I used to think Hillary had simply been immersed in politics for so long that she couldn't understand that this kind of political posturing and gamesmanship, rather than Republican dirty tricks, was the reason she was so disliked. I have come to think that she actually understands it all quite well. She is perfectly happy with her small inner circle of friends and advisers who admire this kind of behavior. The public just exists to be manipulated and made a fool of. She is an excellent politician; not such a great person.

Obama not only leads by over 150 delegates but also over 600.000 popular votes. No way for Clinton supporters to spin these numbers, they are losing, period.

Why is the standard line that Clinton won Texas? Once both primary and caucus votes were counted, Obama netted 99 delegates to Clinton's 94. Hmm, that sounds like an Obama win.

Irritated in Cali

Si se puede. Hillary needs Obama, Obama does not need Hillary my friend. I mean my punk friend.

No to Hillary...Yes to Edwards as VP and CNN's John King is HOT!

Once again you people have to have something to complain about at this point you want the democrats to get back into the white house then you fuss about him and complain about her it does not matter which one is the head or tale as long as it one or the other.and if it don't go your way about whichever one your voting for you are going to vote for mcclain go ahead 99.9% of you probably voted republican anyway and now you are feeling the stiffness just as everyone else or more so,now you say you will vote for mcclain it really don't make a difference until it 's on paper and mcclain gets in there and thats a very big IF now . and the only thing we all will have to do is shall out is more money except if you are rich as cream,so to tell you the truth I'm really tired of hearing and reading all of this stuff and they obama and hillary fighting each other,and the republicains are loving this kind of media fighting it's so sad that neither will have enough delgates by august it will come down to the superdelgates to pick then thats another problem as well ,so who is standing on the side of UNITED WE STAND? DIVIDED WE FALL? this is what the democratic side has done it's time for UNITY,people get real.

Hillary and the talk of Obama as a vice presidential candidate reminds me of the Bolsheviks and the Menshiviks. 'Bolshevik' means majority, and 'Menshivik' minority. The Bolsheviks were the minority, but called themselves the majority, and the majority let them get away with it, There is Hillary, like the Lenin, like the Bush administration, creating her own reality. Keep point out that she is losing, Barack.

March 10th, 2008 6:50 pm ET
Joanne said it so much better than I can.
So, I quote her:

"A perfect case for cynicism! Human conduct is wholly motivated by self-interest. Obama, without a political trail by which the measure of the man may be taken is just an opportunist , politicians of his caliber are a dime a dozen, witness today's news on New York's governor. Nonetheless, those so easily fooled by politicians will keep on swallowing the bs handed out. Once these people are in office, they do whatever darn they please….thanks to those voters who put them in office who lacked the tools by which to analyze the candidates."

THIS COMMENT IS FOR THE PERSON THAT SAID OBAMA IS WHINING ABOUT FLORIDA/MICHIGAN..I BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE THAT BACKWARDS...HILLARY IS DOING THE WHINING...OBAMA HAS SAID THAT HE WOULD ABIDE BY WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SAYS....FLORIDA POPULATION....17,789,864...TOTAL PEOPLE THAT VOTED.....1,684,390
MICHIGAN POPULATION....9,938,444..VOTERS...593,837
I KNOW THAT IF MY STATE THOUGHT THEY HAD TO HAVE THE FIRST SAY AND WE KNEW ALL ALONG THAT OUR VOTES WOULD NOT COUNT..I KNOW I WOULD NOT BOTHER VOTING.. FOR PEOPLE TO THINK THAT THE DEMOCRATS WOULD JUST LET IT SLIDE AND COUNT IS STUPIDITY...OF COURSE THEY HAVE TO COME UP WITH A FAIR PLAN......I AM BETTING ALOT MORE WILL VOTE AND THE STATISTICS WILL BE QUITE DIFFERENT OVERALL.

It's a little more complicated than what Obama is saying. Yes, he is in the lead with delegates and states (popular vote is virtually tied), but its not always about who the best candidate is, but its also about who will win the presidency. Remeber, winning the democratic primary doesn't guarantee the presidency, there's a whole half of the country that has to decide as well.

Yes, Obama is leading in polls against McCain, but that is just a snapshot of things to come. I truly believ that given time for the Republicans to hone their attack, Obama has a lot that's yet to be revealed. He has so much running against him, and I can see a lot of democrats, especially Clinton supporters, defecting to McCain's side, especially if the democratic position doesn't get resolved soon.

But it is important to note that Obama seems overconfident to the point of arrogance. If he doesn't take this "deal," and ends up losing the nomination, he will be seen as an extremely divisive figure that hastened the democratic process and gave the republicans a lot of ammunition. There's a good chance that if that situation occurs, and Hillary doesn't pick him as the nominee, he could very well be finished in politics.

He needs to be objective, take things into consideration, and come up with a valid, well thought out decision on this. That's the sign of a good leader that is concerned about what's best for our country, not one that's out to win a race and has his own best interests in mind.

As for delusional comments: Not being able to name Obama's accomplishments but still supporting him is delusional. Cheering loudly while he blows his nose is delusional. Handing over a child for him to kiss while sick is delusional. Seeing huge partisanship when it comes to his supporters is delusional. Ignoring controversies without even considering them or self-educating on them is delusional.

People, do some true, unbiased research on Obama. Really look at him, his actions, and his professional history. Ignore the "messages of hope and change," and seek out substance. Look at his voting records, and people he's worked with. There's no way you'd vote for him if you did that. Try naming five things about him you DON'T like. If you can't do that, you are delusional. Don't be blind.

EXSPERINCE, without it we are confused.

Obama has said it all! He wants no part of their outfit and I do not blame him. He is ahead and has popular vote. Why should he settle? Hillary Clinton just cannot deal with the fact that she is no longer top dog. It is she who should ask that is beg for the # 2 spot!

YOU 'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!!!!

The height audacity! The height of arrogance!

The height of overconfidence! The height of self-importance!

Hillary is no dream for Senator Obama to have on a ticket!

Hillary is no dream for the Democrats to have on a ticket.

She and Bill are tearing the party apart.

Hillary is no dream on a ticket because you get Bill with her.

Those two politicians with the least amount of veracity in politics do not, with anyone, a dream ticket make.

Even though I won’t vote for you because of the mess the party is in, with that Screamer Howard Dean at the helm, and no clear cut resolution to hold to the party rules to keep the unseated Michigan and Florida delegates off of the convention floor, I believe, Senator Obama is head and shoulders the better candidate.

Disorganization and incompetence produce my resolve that no Democrat candidate gets my vote.

I’m disgusted with the shenanigans.

To answer the title of this article the answer is yes, Hillary benefits from it because she is trying to unite and Obama is being arrogant on the eve of MS primary.

MS please see who he really is before you vote for him!

This entire situation is ridicous. If Obama was behind in delegates like Clinton, he would be talked about more neagatively. It's about DOI me standards, race and ignorance. Sen. Clinton isn't the type of person I would vote for in any situation. Now that I know how she works! Unfortunately there are many voters who have the same mindset as he Clintons. Nothing will change and people will continue to complain about the same people they keep electing.

I can't believe this…why on earth would Barack Obama want to be within 100 feet of Hillary Clinton any time in the future?

She has spent months bashing his his religion (he's Christian not Muslim), his Church (what about the priests who abused children folks or McCain's buddy who is an Anti-Semite), his patriotism (he was singing the National Anthem not saying the Pledge of Allegiance), his drug use (fully disclosed in a book he wrote years ago), his middle name (means Beautiful not Terrorist) ; his voting "present" as an Illinois Senator (something that is a political vote, not an absentee vote), his experience (he has 3 more years in an elected judicial position), his position of NAFTA (his other book wrote of his position and the Clintons did the wink wink to Canada), his Senate bills and record (far more substantive bills and resolutions than HRC); his absence after his announced his presidency (she has voted less than him and has also been absent); his purported plagiarism (while she plagiarizes his words); his lead in the race for the nomination (she is behind folks)….need I say more. Hillary: You and your supporters are truly delusional.

What is this? Only accepting comments from Obama supporters? You're only displaying comments condemning and ridiculing Hillary and Bill Clinton? That's been done before, and it did not succeed, and the voters will speak for themselves. We don't need help making our decision who to vote for.

America the Beautiful

Where did you learn math, George Bush?

Even if Hillary got all of Michigan and Florida's delegates she still wouldn't win the nomination. In fact if she wan 100% of Michigan and Florida delegates she would still be over 600 delegates short of the magic number.

She currently needs an average of 60% of the remaining state delegates and superdelegates the rest of the way, even if you include Michigan and Florida. The magic number of delegates is 2025 without Michigan and Florida and 2208 if Michigan and Florida end up revoting. Do your research before spouting your mouth off.

Go Hillary!!!!....THE SMART CHOICE FOR ALL AMERICANS

Brian – Trinidad is righit.

Clinton is interested in the Democrates winning the White House.

Obama is interested in Obama getting the nomination.

Go Hillary!

Charlotte,
I can see you are still delusional that your gal Hillary can win. I'm so sorry you have been brainwashed or as Obama put it today in Miss. ,'bamboozled' by the Clintons. There is hope, though, you can always get de-programmed.

Jay – are you serious Obama would pick up CA & Texas! Have you not read the results on who they voted for Hillary!

Wake up and see who won those states. If Hillary is not the nominee her supporters would run to McCain as well as vice versa!

They both need each other and whoever is on top it will keep the party united! This is the real test to see if Obama is a uniter any other VP would not unite the party or country.

Get real please!

Hmm...didn't Eliot Spitzer make a big deal during his campaign about what he was going to do in office starting on day one too?

The Clinton/ Obama ticket works for me-pd

You idiots who keep calling Obama supporters "delusional" and "crazy", or even a "cult", need to shut up and watch as the YOUTH change America. I am tired of listening to middle-aged white women rant about Hillary and her so-called "experience" when they really know nothing about her. Its the same thing over and over: "she's got the experience and the solutions to be the commander in chief." Ha. Get a clue. She is once again deceiving all of you as she has done many times before. She is a liar, a cheater, and a crybaby. I will not be called an ignorant "punk" and a "delusional" young voter by these arrogant older people. Look you've had your chance but your generation has put this country into such a big mess that it will be very hard to get out of. This is not a cult, this is excitement. Why? Because somebody who represents US is here, and that somebody is Barack Obama. Before you criticize this man, do your research. Read his book. Watch his documentary. You will find that he is a great American, and his life has not been nearly as littered with controversy and lies as Hillary Rodham Clinton's.
Obama-AnybodybutHillary '08

This article contains an error in the statement: "But following Clinton's wins in Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island last week — a trifecta of victories that essentially salvaged her presidential hopes." It now appears that after the caucus votes are added in, Barack Obama won Texas. This fact needs to get more attention.

@Brian

HILLARY hurt the party by running, period. The country doesn't need a redux of the scandal-plagued Clinton years.

Hillary is one of the most corrupt politicians of our time. If she's on the ticket, I'm voting for Nader. Obama is our best hope for uniting this country, His experience is real – not like Hillary's – he wasn't just married to the president or governor of Arkansas for 16 years

Why does the mainstream media continue to perpetuate the illusion that somehow Hillary Clinton still has a shot at securing the Democratic nomination?

WE AREN'T BUYING IT SO STOP SELLING.

Once again the media will sell out its integrity for the sake of ratings and trivial non-stories that are positioned as facts and real news.

"My name is Barack Obama, and, as you may have heard, I’m running for
President.

I would like to speak today about Michigan and Florida.

I want to take you all back to last New Year’s Eve in Iowa. I said to folks
then that Al Gore lost in 2000 because he was a divisive candidate. His way
, I say to you, was the politics of the past.

Al Gore wanted every vote in Florida counted. I say to you, that’s the
politics of the past.

And now, in 2008, Hillary Clinton wants the January vote in Michigan and
Florida counted. That’s the politics of the past.

If they can’t be counted, she says, there should be a re-vote in new
primaries. With secret ballots. And no on-site campaigning. The politics of
the past.

She wants all police officers to have the chance to vote. All the
firefighters. All the nurses and factory workers and supermarket cashiers.
All the young parents and handicapped and elderly.

Definitely the politics of the past.

Now I say we can have a re-vote. Certainly.

In a caucus.

A caucus. Where we can postpone voting until we sway all those not with us.
Yes, we can.

A caucus. Where we can bully and intimidate all those not with us. Call them
racists and bigots until they change their minds. Yes, we can.

A caucus. Where we can lock out all those not with us and vote without them.
Yes, we can.

A caucus. Something we can have to ourselves.

Yes, we can.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

NO WAY !!! Obama should connect himself with the Clintons.

He should not sully himslf with thier con acts.

The only ticket needed is one way back to NY.

scary scary stuff to think they can geta free ride from Obama.

Get real folks !! We really dont need this kind of BS when it comes down to doing business with other countrys.

Well, does experience as a First Lady count? Clinton supporters, name one time when Hillary Clinton responded to a moment of crisis like 9/11? If she is making that argument, then only one person can be and should be president again–good old George Bush! Also, although the U.S. economy was better when Bill was pres., Bill Clinton did not have to deal with an economy in recession. Any candidate who becomes president will have to deal with an economy in recession, the exorbitant costs of a prolonged and unnecessary war, a huge debt, a weakening dollar, and with an America that has lost its reputation for the virtues that we celebrate as part of our Constitution. So, we need a professor of Constitutional Law, a great speechmaker, and a person who can gather all of the help we can get from the Republican and Democratic party in order to turn this country around. Guess who? Barack Obama. By the way, when a talented basketball player joins the NBA, he might play better than older, veteran basketball players simply because of his talent. Barack Obama may not have the same experience as Hillary Clinton, but he has enormous talent–which would last the two terms he will be President after he wins the 2008 election.

Dear everybody, don't be fooled by the way the Clintons playing this game. It's one of many they have been trying to trick our mind. If you're smart enough you see immediately what they're doing. We know what we need for the next leader, don't we?

all I read is Obama is in the lead, Obama is # 1, yet he has not been able to win 1 big state. How is he going to win the election if he can't win CA, NY, NJ, Ohio, Texas or even Florida!

Please people get some reasoning behind your Obama fever! Take a look at who he really is before you annointed him the savor of America.

How much has he done for America besides preach and preach about change and a new way of doing things!

Put America first and not your hatred of the Clintons who by the way already provided on their promises = peace and prosperity!!!!

Where or when has Obama said directly " I will not be the Vice Presidential candidate?" He hasn't ! I have to laugh at Hillary's boldness and challenge. With neither one able to get to the magic
number 2025, if he refuses to unite the Democrats with a joint ticket
he looks like a divider not a uniter.

Hillary '08!!!!!!!!!!

All the people who will vote for McCain if they don't get their precious (that's a laugh) Hillary don't deserve to have a Democrat in the White House anyways.

She is just trying to unite the democratic party. And she isn't far behind in the race. She will get Pennsylvania which has much more delegates than Mississippi. Don't forget, she won Ohio, and there hasn't been a democratic nominee elected for president that didn't win Ohio in the primaries in over 100 years. I will not vote for Obama if he becomes the nominee.

HILLARY '08

Mississippi. please consider Hillary when you cast your vote Tuesday. We belive that Hillary would be a great President for all of America.

Sorry this might be the wrong forum for this but I can not seem to get a response from CNN, so I guess I have to blog it. Obama leads Clinton 1,347 to 1,200 in pledged delagates according to the summary page of CNN's political ticker. However, if you go into each state individually on the site his lead in pledged delegates is only 1,287 to 1,172. In other words, Obama leads Clinton by 115 pledged delegates instead of the 147 being reported, which amounts to a 28% overstatement. I sent CNN an e-mail offering to send my Excel adding up their State by State numbers but they only auto responded to me. I'm not saying that this is some vast conspiracy, but come on CNN your numbers should add up.

Maybe Hilliary has already set her sight on Elliot Spitzer's position as Governor of NY!

Why are Obama supporter so angry, vicious and cynical??? What happened to the talk that these are both good candidates, and we would be happy with either??? I feel that the moveon.org liberals are wratching up the nasty rhetoric against a woman (such as calling her a "monster"), whom only a year ago supported and four years ago begged to run against Bush, and it is REALLY turning off moderate, normal dems. After all, isn't the guy their supporting supposed to be about getting past negative, divisive politics. The more that liberals take this scorched-earth approach against one of their own; the more and more I think that Senator McCain (who seems to be a moderate and a good man) wouldn't be a bad choise in November if, at a minimum, as a way to put it back in the face of these ultra liberals hijacking our party.

Matt–Obama has just as much experience or more than Bill Clinton. Besides, anyone who teams up with the Clinton's are ruined forever. Any politician who owes the Clinton's favors can never pay them back. It is best to stay away from them.

It dont matter who is running as what or who is on top.They are both enemies of america.All of you loud mouth libs better watch yourselves.I know you think your views are the views of all americans about these clowns because of the liberal media.But understand this there are many of us who will never accept or swear allegience to either of these traitors.We hear you talk of acceptance and free speech but you supress any you disagree with.It is on your head libs what is comming if you elect either of them.We will not let you hide behind democracy in order to subvert it.You better be ready to fight and not with words.GOD BLESS AMERICA

I do not believe Clinton wants this man on her ticket. From ABC News, Mar. 5th:

Accused Illinois fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko is in debt by $50 million and relies on "family" handouts of $7,500 a month to pay monthly costs, according to a previously sealed court transcript reviewed by ABC News.

Rezko's bleak financial picture raises the question of how the Rezkos were able to buy a vacant lot adjoining the home of Sen. Barack Obama in 2005, at a time Rezko says he was already in deep debt.

IT is good for Obama be the VP, he will get 8 years of traning and be ready late on. When people gets sick, they are looking for the most experienced doctor, so does a country. Hillary is the one qualified for president or else McMcan.

Shame on you BILLARY!! Thats not gonna happen!!

Hillary has floated this idea time and time again during her campaign.

It is an effective way of neutering Barack Obama – by implying that he is Vice-Presidential material only, and also by implying that a vote for Hillary is a vote for Obama.

Obama and Hillary are offering two distinct choices this year, and they do not converge.

Obama stands for honesty and integrity, while Hillary represents the "old school" anything-for-a-buck anything-to-win mentaltiy.

Hillary chastizes Obama for taking $16,000 from a developer, while at the same time she made $11 MILLION DOLLARS last year from her Husband's friends.

Who are Hillary's 11 Milion Dollar friends? We don't know all their names – yet. But we do know it includes Vin Gupta, Norman Hsu and the goverment of Dubai (the same guys who wanted to control our ports).

Unfortunately, if Hillary wins the nomination, this data will come out in the general election, and McCain will make mincemeat of her.

Which is OK by me. Obama or McCain – both are honest, decent people who do not take huge sums of money from bad people.

OBAMA/EDWARDS OR VICE VERSA FOR 2008. OTHERWISE, I WILL STAY HOME ON ELECTION DAY. WHY WASTE MY TIME?

Hillary Clinton is quite capable of winning the White House without Obama on the ticket. Hillary and Bill both were asked about this dream ticket. I thought they handle it nicely by not putting Obama down in any way. Neither of them appoarched the subject of Obama being VP, so he doesn't need to get so arrogrant about Hillary. He has always been rude if he was asked about Hillary being VP. Personally I don't think they are the dream team. Obama doesn't like Hillary and he has always protrayed that.

Dan Abrams we know that MSNBC is againt Hillary as a Presidental candidate so your facts shoot down on her just adds to biased journalism.

Let's discuss the Superdelegates. They were created to give the party a say in the nomination process. They have a responsibility to do what they feel is best for the Democratic party and to help select a candidate who a) has the best chance of winning and b) will better serve this country. I have far more faith in them than the American people, a lot of whom I would argue don't even vote based on the issues. How else do you explain the fact that Hillary is voted as significantly stronger on the economy and yet those same people aren't voting for her, despite citing it as THE most important issue? I will tell you this as someone who was in his 20's a short while ago, most young people follow trends more than they follow the issues. And voting for Obama is the trendy thing to do.
People need to just let the Superdelegates do their job and stop telling them how they should vote. It's in their best interest to pick the most electable and best President.
We gave the American people a voice in 2004 and they choose Bush. Nuff said.

Experience for President is not having tea and cookies in China and vacationing on 80 other countries.

Experience for President is not waking up Bill on the couch at 3 am to tell him the phones for him.

Experience for President is not being a radical feminist.

Experience for President is not being a bully and yelling at people when they don't agree with you.

Experience for President is not the ability to escape scandals.

Experience for President is not keeping secrets that you claim are part of your crucial experience.

Experience for President is not being corrupt, mean, dirty, hateful and so on.

Please tell us what other crucial experience you have Hillary, because so far we have not heard or seen any that pertains to your job application.

Dream Ticket? I call it my worst nightmare ticket. I am so worried that Hillary will do something so" out of site" to get the win. She is ruthless. I was considering her nomination at first, but she is not the one to run our country. She is trying to destroy Obama. We should stand up for him and not let this happen. Obama wants to run a clean campaign. He is being knocked for what he stands for -CHANGE in politics. He will not stoop to Hillary's level. If she wins the democratic primary, I know a lot of people, beside myself, that will not vote for her.

Paula CA

I just talk to someone about this, and he said the Clintons must think they are more stupid people than wise people in this country. My response was, maybe they are more stupid people in this country. I mean the Democrats.

More spin from the desperate Clintons. If Obama does give the VP to Hillary, he had better get himself a food taster.
Clintons=corruption

This wouldn't surprise me at all.

Which woman in her right mind would support her husband in infidelity besides her political ambitions. So if she doesn't win the nomination, she would be much more humiliated for her support for her husband.

I think this is a good lesson for people who doesn't have the self esteem to show what they are beside their personal ambitions.

Obama/Rezko '08: "Change without experience"

Last time we all checked, Barack Obama was in the lead.

Again, I'm offended by the Clinton arrogance that I've seen throughout this campaign.

shame on you hillary & bill

I think Obama's excellent reply pointing out Hillary's hypocrisy on this issue says all we need to know. Why would Hillary want a VP who, according to her previous claims, isn't qualified to be president?

(... unless, of course, Obama actually *IS* more than qualified, with more actual legislative experience than Hillary has.)

It's much to Obama's credit that he didn't offer her the VP slot, especially when there are so many far more experienced, positive, charismatic candidates for him to choose from, such as Al Gore, Bill Richardson, Federico Pena... people who actually served more than tea in the White House.

How arrogant do you have to be to offer the clear front runner in the race a seat on the back of the bus anyway?! Hillary Clinton's campaign is increasingly running against political reality.

She's only saying what she's saying because she's trying to bamboozle people into believing that she's even remotely close in this race, and that voters can get a "two-for-one" deal.

(This offer not valid in the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and any other U.S.-held territories.)

Let's face it. She's desperate. Soon enough, she'll be suggesting that *SHE* should be Vice President. I hope Obama shoots that suggestion down too, because Hillary Clinton is the opposite of change.

She may have benefited from the possibility in the beginning, but not now.

He has demonstrated such complete arrogance toward Senator Clinton, President Clinton and all of Hillary's supporters that he would no longer be accepted on the ticket.

Let the Independents and Republicans that voted for him elect him President. NEWSFLASH...they will be voting for John McCain on Election Day.

This Democrat is confident that Senator Clinton will win the nomination. Failing that, I will be writing her name in on my ballot in November.

I will never vote for Barack Obama, the pretender to the Presidency.

We cannot afford another Bush.

Hillary is proving that she is a cheap politician and has learned nothing but cheper mentality in 35 years in politics..she is a fraud and people should teach her a lesson..she is good for nothing..urghhh

It makes perfect sense. Hillary is ready on day one – Barack has about 8 more years before he's ready. What a great ticket they would make!

This woman is truly a Monster.

She's a a witness in the Paul vs Clinton case and in that case she lied earlier about a lot of things too that she'll have to talk about in court.

There's no way she can be the democratic nominee when she's going to be serving jail terms like Martha Stewart!

Please don't listen to this monstrously woman America, she's a total destruction.

Mississippi, North Carolina, Oregon, Virgin Island, South Dakota etc will say no to her. I don't know what Pennsylvania is thinking...PA please save America and say no to this woman. Puerto Rico you should do same...

Why is CNN giving this crap the light of day? Does anything the Clinton's say automatically turn into headlines. The person in second place in a two person race offers the leader the number two position. That's senseless. I guess this is "the silly season of politics."

After Hillary gets pummeled in Mississippi, I wonder how long it will take you to start talking about Pennsylvania.

Are you aware that a Hillary Clinton supporter, superdelegate is about to be indicted for being a part of a prostitution ring? How does that compare to Rezko, who by the way gave money to Clinton's national co-chair that wasn't given to charity. Run tel dat!!!

Deb, you are the one who is ignorant. Last time I checked terms for president are 4 years not 8. "HIllary – 2008 and 2016" Your lack of even the most basic knowledge in the American Government is frightening. I hope other Hillary supporters aren't as uneducated as you.

I am very proud that Mr. Obama said that he in not running for vp. Clinton is a political prostitute and she must win any way she can because she is bought and paid for by the lobbyists in Washington DC. This will make our country bought and paid for by the lobbyists as long as she is in office. If she is on the ticket with Obama anywhere I will vote for McCain! I just prey that Obama does not choose her for his vp, They said that they can teach him how to be a corrupt politician Like Hill and Billy “HILLBILLY” by August!
She is only trying to steal this nomination because she will never get more pledged delegates than Obama! She must also need help with arithmetic!

It 's come to the point that I am more disgusted with the political coverage in America than the politics, and that is saying a lot. The motives behind Mrs. Clintons statements are obvious, and yet you ask us, "Does Clinton benefit from so-called 'dream ticket' talk?" Why not frame the question,"What is the reason for Mrs. Clinton suggesting the 'dream ticket'?". Please, for the sake of America, start asking the tough, meaningful questions of all the candidates as well the current office holders. In my opinion, we desperately need a new direction from the leadership of this great country as well as the coverage of the people we have entrusted to run it. Please do your part, for the good of us all.

No thank you! I don't want Hillary Clinton on any ticket! She's not even in the lead in the delegate count. How can she presume such a notion? Thank goodness Senator Obama has spoken out.

Barack Obama for President 2008!!!

Senator Clinton tried to hold out hope of unifying the party after the primaries are completed. At no time, and I went back and looked at the transcripts of her comments, did she "offer" the VP slot to Obama, but rather implied – in the context of understanding that voters had a tough choice and wanted both choices, when only one could be made – that sometime down the road maybe something could happen. Bill Clinton also did not imply that an offer was being extended to Obama, but rather Bill Clinton was reflecting out loud the obvious that were, in fact, both Hillary and Obama on the same ticket, they would be unstoppable.

It is the MSM that took Hillary and Bill's comments and parsed them into a conclusion that Hillary was offering the VP slot to Obama. That was not the case. Instead, Hillary and Bill were leaving that door open for future consideration. Perhaps its time for the MSM to start parsing Obama's every word in the manner it does the Clinton's. The MSM can start by looking at the last year of the West Wing TV series, and in particular the episode where Jimmy Smitts was at the convention addressing the delegates – compare Smitts "convention speech" to Obama's recent speech and you might be surprised (and for that matter, look at many of the speeches in the West Wing series for rather remarkable similarities in Obama's "prose" and his stump speeches). But of course, that would mean that the MSM would actually have to say something critical of Obama (the MSM doesn't mind repeating Hillary's or other parties criticism of Obama, but has demonstrated an inability to be critical on its own initiative).

I wonder what kind of help you have in your company? We the people, are the ceo's of our vote. Now the executive. the Congress, and Senate are our employees. Therefore how do we select as an employer, the right person to represent us best? Do as any good business CEO would do, get their resume and see which one can fill the job requirements best. No doubt I would choose Hillary. We need someone that is well known and respected by the world leaders. The leaders are not going to bow down to someone they know only by name. We cannot afford on the job training. It would take some time for the leaders to gain confidence on a new face. The world has attitude changed negative against us due to the decider. We can't afford to blow this!

It seems to me like the Clinton's are desperate...I'm wondering why are they so desperate? Why is it that some people never change? Only someone that does not look at a person as an equal human being would suggest that Obama be a VP running mate. Hopefully, this will show those that are stuck in yesterday or stuck on stupid that Hiliary Clinton has no respect for those who don't look like her. By the way, America we need to see those tax returns....I think she has something to hide......

This is really hard to comprehend.. the Clintons must really think that Democrats are idiots..

If Obama is not fit, according to the Clintons, to be the Commander-in-Chief, Obama is fit to a heart beat away from the presidency on day one.. after all, that's what the criteria for vice president is..

Now go figure...

May God take the Clintons away from the American political scene.. go away Clintons... enough insulting the intelligence of Americans... shame and REALLY shame on you.. no one can pull you out of gutter.. you belong in the gutter..

If Obama were her VP, I would fear for his life.

CHANGE... to what??? Utopia according to barack obama? And UNITE... unite who exactly????

It's been cute so far i must admit, BUT the world hasn't changed in the last year for barack obama, and nor will it. Can you think of anyone who's proclaimed themselves an american messiah and managed to do anything about it?

He's a man with a microphone on an ego-trip, but disguises it by trying to make it sound like its all about 'us'; when its perfectly clear it is all about HIM. His goals add up to an impossible transformation of politcs itself..... i can see him a few years from now, taking all the heat in the world when everyone else realises he is just a clever POLTICIAN who could sculpt his voice like a preacher and criticize like a backseat driver.

Co-presidents Hillary and Bill, with Obama as number three? That's not a dream ticket, that's Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue. I get the feeling Obama will maintain his integrity. The arrogance of her to "offer" him a VP position. I can't believe it. And, if this country decides to go back to the past with the Clintons, we will have missed a superb opportunity to take our country upward and onward. They told MLK it wasn't the time, that the civil rights movement was going too fast, that it was too idealistic, that the country just wasn't ready yet to stop lynching people and oppressing people. But, the time for justice is always "right now", it is always ASAP. I wonder if these Hillary supporters think the freedom riders were idealistic and brainwashed? Standing for change and standing for justice always has a sense of urgency. We have a chance at our very fingertips right now to get on the road to the future. In fact, it is long overdue that we take steps in that direction. Let's not miss that chance. I've been exposed to enough Hillary supporters now to see how they operate from a position of fear and identity politics. They refuse to see Obama for the incredible INDIVIDUAL he is. Instead, they stereotype him. I can't believe some of these posts that are so insulting. I just pray the people in this country with sense will outnumber those who are stuck in the past. Going backwards to the Clintons would truly be a disaster for us and the world.

I hope that the voters can see through this and vote for Obama.

The arrogance and self-centeredness of the Clintons is breathtaking. It appears that the "vast right wing conspiracy" might have been right about some of the stuff they threw at the Clintons back in the 90's.

I need to say this because this is whats going to happen you watch and see..........in 1992 in Colorado Amendment Two appeared that it was going to be defeated by a large margin. All our polls told us it was so. We in the Lesbian and Gay community were over confident like Mambo Obama's supporters are...........we were high fiving and planned victory celebration (but we weren't mean spirited towards our oppenents like Obama's supporters are towards Hillary.....................well we lost by a big margin. People in polls said they were going to vote a certain way...Our way ..........we Lesbians and Gays were so full of faith and hope..........people didn't vote the way we thought they were going to vote. People said one thing and on election night voted opposite of what they said they were going to vote. Obama is in this race for his own ambition. He really thinks he is going to win. Blind ambition. Everyone is afraid to speak the truth for fear of appearing bigoted or racist. Come election night if he is the candidate............he will not win. Vote Clinton 2008 Viva Clinton Viva the only Democratic candidate who will win. Paz en el mundo

Hillary is such a joke. Thank goodness that Obama has the sense to nip this one in the bud. AUGH! At one point, I considered voting for Hillary, but her typical Washington political ways make me ill.

OBAMA minus Hillary is the way to go!!

Hillary.. you think you are ready to serve the day one.

The truth is... the rest of us do not!!!

Having voted republican the last three elections, I would only consider voting dem without Hillary on the ticket. For what's worth, I am not the only one that feels this way - having talked to a dozen of my friends/colleagues, all have agreed they are "likely" (including myself) to vote for Obama, but never Hillary. Dems best shot at winning this election is to nominate Obama.

BTW, all this talk of "experience" is complete BS - what has this great wisdom (gov't in general, including Hillary) brought us - debt, rising healthcare, irresponsible fiscal spending, etc. It's time for leadership not ONLY wisdom.

Peace out

we're watching this with great interest over here. it's amazing how the clintons can tear down obama as totally inexperiened and then suggest he be her vice-president? it's like with one mouth they say he can't do the job of being president, with the other mouth they say he should be her vice-president, just so she can get all the voters back that she lost to him. if she were ever to get the nomination who would be left to vote for her after such dirty deeds. oh yeah, she will still have those clinton fans that swallow all this dirty politics and dirty deeds and dishonest politics. thank god even more and more hillary supporters wake up and see what she is really like. a lot of us over here really think that her negativity looks so grim compared to obamas message of hope. her negative campaign really sticks out compared to his and we're wondering how come some people still support her?

Hillary... you are Hillarious!!!

Go Obama!!! The Clintons are desperate and deceptive!!! And Hillary seems bi-polar in her behavoir. The American people are tired of the Clintons still playing the same old game of politics – divisive and negative!!!

Obama has shown an even-tempered personality throughout the campaign – he has stayed above the cut and run negative politics!

Hillary Clinton has shown a spectrum of irrational behaviors throughout the campaign – from a misty-eyed, desperate candidate in NH to a scolding school MOM in OH, to a consillatory candidate at the debates, to an arrogrant candiate at her much needed winning in TX and OH, to again a desperate candadiate in MS speaking on adding Obama as VP. I don't know about most people but clearly to me she seems to borderline bi-polar in personaltiies. Or maybe it's just the timing of the month which I can somewhat understand for most women but not for a commander of chief potential!

We will never vote for Hillary and politics as usual. You Hillary supporters are to arragant for your own good. You are dividers.

hilllary,, its time to stand up and face the issues here ,, not think of ways to back-stab,, dirty play is just that,, dirty,, we dont need that,, someone whos goin to get things done the way it should be done,,,, GO ABAMA,,,, by the way hillary,, tell bill to stand back,, hes had his turn,,(OUCH)

Anyone else sick of hearing about Boeing and their complaining right now? Protesting the contract? Are you serious? This is a competitive market and capitalism. I work for an engineering firm, and we go after contracts against other firms. The one that presents themselves the best and shows they can do the job right gets the contract.

Instead of asking "why didn't we get it"... they are throwing a sick tantrum and blaming our own government. Last time I checked, foreign cars are kicking our rear ends in the market... I guess planes are next.

Boeing, grow up and stop complaining.

Bill, your judgment on a presidential candidate is as bad as your facts about who leads in the popular vote. Actually, OBAMA is leading in the Popular Vote, Delegates and States. Do a fact check.

Senator Obama is sly politician despite what he and his campaign say. Senator Clinton has more experience and is modest about her accomplishments. Senator Obama should step aside and have respect for Senator Clinton's senority. His chance may come in the future. The time now is hers. And as for Michigan and Florida why is a redo needed when the voters have already spoken? If the table was turned, how many people would be pushing for a revote? Senator Obama was on both ballots and the voters spoke. He was on the Michigan ballot as uncommitted. His name was on the Florida ballot. If Howard Dean is out there reading this, I suggest to him that he release the delegates for Michigan and Florida. Mr. Dean, a redo would be unfair to Senator Clinton. She didn't campaign in either state and she won. She left her name on both ballots. Senator Obama could have done the same. Let's all stop the unfair treatment of Senator Clinton. Stop wasting money and let the votes from Michigan and Florida stand. And finally, CNN has been bias, too. Someone once told me they didn't watch CNN because it was "Clinton News Network". What happened to you CNN? You know Senator Clinton would be the best president. Let Senator Clinton have her well deserved time as President of the United States.

Hillary will go to ANY length to win. Including looking her supporters and the world in the eye and lying through her teeth. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what game-player she is.

Whomever she would choose as a VP would be 3rd in command right behing Bill Clinton and then Hillary.

Why would Obama sully his reputation by even considering being Hills' VP?

It's a sign of defeat from both Clintons. Yeah, they need Obama. And Obama and America don't need them period.

Don't you read your own headlines – "Obama Rejects Clinton's VP Offer"?

The American People have decided that Senator Obama should be the next Commander in Chief. He has shown himself to be a leader, he uses good judgment and he thinks before he speaks. Hillary can be Vice-President as long as Obama is there to keep her in check.

Clinton's offer of VP to Obama is another way to emphasize Obama's major weakness on experience. Hillary is signing that were Obama to win the nomination he will eventually need an experienced VP, older and wiser. Which lead us back to the choices of either Obama with his lack of experience or the fear that Obama's VP will be some potential nightmare, such as, Dick Cheney. Funny thing the media and the "experts" can't even follow Bill's strategy!

It's true. Hillary will stoop to ANYTHING. She's now lying about not knowing about the coverup prostitute ring story which broke today about her NY Gov. Spitzer. Voters please, end her candidacy!!!

All of this stuff about Hiliary doing anything to win, blah, blah blah isn't making me want to vote for Obama, it is actually making me want to vote for Hiliary. I want a President that is going to stand up for our country.

He claims our government is corrupt, well he is part of this government that he is calling corrupt. He claims that he didn't vote for war..but i don't remember seeing him in the Senate at that time..I could be wrong.

Anyway, I don't want another 4 years of this BS so my vote is for Hiliary

Only a Clinton can make a loser appears to be a winner! I just wish the Clintons know something called human decency!

This is the same old politics that we've come to know and detest from Washington, notably the current regime, and now from Clinton.

I am a die hard Democrat, but I'll vote for Nader before I cast a vote for a woman who will clearly say or do anything– including praise her Republican rival while at the same time denigrating her Democratic opponent– in order to obtain power.

Do the math! Her campaign cannot hope to match, let alone exceed, Obama's delegate total. Even if she wins every contest from now until the convention with a 10% margin! So now they float this nonsense about well, they might consider Obama as a number two. They've got to, as they have no other hope of selling Her Imperiousness as a viable candidate to the super delegates and the convention as a whole!

Just say no to politics as usual. Just say no to the candidate who voted to send our troops into the Iraqi quagmire. Just say no to the Rovian slimeball politicking we've come to expect out of Washington beltway politicos.

Say yes to hope and change!

Obama 08!

Hillary cannot even manage her own campaign. How in the Hell is she ever going to run the country. The way she has run her campaign sounds an awful lot like the way Bushie has run the country. BLIND LOYALTY TO PEOPE WHO SCREW UP!! Sound familiar "Your doing a heckova job Brownie" (substitue, Mark Penn et,al for Brownie) There is no way that BARACK needs to play second fiddle to her. He leads and she is desperate. Maybe if she had planned for a campaign after super tuesday that it would be over, but apparently life after super tuesday was not even on their radar scope.

WELL HILLARY, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO YOUR CORONATION, LOL.

OBAMA '08

It is nothing but a ploy by the Clintons to try to get more votes for her.

No Way . Bill should offer his opinion to the NY Gov on how to lie thru his predicament and yes Hillary to advise Mrs Gov at this time. This is the only pairing Billary can do best right now.

The Clintons have too much stinking baggage from their WHouse yrs. We don't need them back.

Sooo, when I say to Mr. Obama that I want to vote for both of them, his answer would not be "that might be a consideration in the future"?

If Mr. Obama is so eliquent and such a good guy what exactly would his answer be?????

I guess trying to be polite and positive for the party isn't the correct thing for Hilary to do.

I guess she should just say hell NO he doesn't have the experience.....,double talker.....etc., etc...

Go Hilary

I'm a Mississippian, the idea of our news channels favoritism for certain canidates is a for sure notion, that racism is still alive and ongoing. When Mrs.Clinton was here, her telecast was on three different T.V. Channels. Barack could only be seen on the internet ,I think that's unfair.

If Hillary is on the ticket you can bet McCain will win. Hillary is and always has been a very divisive character. She will turn off too many Independant voters and the Neocons will rally to get Repub voters to the polls to keep her out of office.

Obama appeals to a much broader audience. He'll draw far more Independant votes than HIllary will. He'd have a good chance of beating McCain. If Hillary gets the nomination, you can count on four more years of a Republican Whitehouse.

Lets get real.....shame on you New York Governor who raised money for the Clintons....Lets get real! Meet me in Mississippi! Wait, I mean meet me in states where blue collar white workers and white women make up the majority....and in Puerto Rico where they have more delegates than New Hampshire. Shame on you Senator Nelson for voting to approve stripping your state of delegates and then you try to blame everyone in the politcial system but yourself and your buddies in Florida.

Whoever posted OBAMA will drive America down. Look at America Now dum dums. Some of you up here are delusional, and I don't know if its just ignorance or what, but wake up.

American is already headed down, to the point that Foreign countries are just pouring money to buy the FOR SALE AMERICA.

WE ALL NEED TO STOP TEARING EACH OTHER APART ABOUT THIS SITUATION CAUSE FOR DEMOCRATS ITS TEARING YOU ALL APART, YOUR NOT DEMOCRATS, YOUR HILLOCRATS OR OBAMACRATS. We all are not retarded here, we see what is going on, and politicians have been doing it for years. Its up to the American people to decide who the president will be and they will do so. But one thing I do Know, have some respect and try not to be so offensive while posting your opinions.

It's obvious that you guys keep supporting the Clinton campaign.
You alway put up misleading delegate numbers. Then the other day, you said that Barack's lead over McCain was about the same a Hillary's klead over McCain, when Barack's lead was twice as much!

Shame on you "journalists" for your lack of ethics.

LS

How about Obama/Edwards? or Obama/Richardson? Or my son even suggested Obama/Guiliani!!

I will take Obama/anything....no Clinton in there please. Clintons are nothing but politics as usual and now they're playing dirty pool.

Obama/Edwards!!!!!

If Obama doesn't accept the VP slot if offered to him, he really does not care about the Democratic Party and its people. On the other hand, he did say that WashingtonDC is a place where good ideas go to die. So why is he in such a hurry to get there?

"This thing has really been given a life of its own." Clinton
-------------------------------

Ok, tell me, of all the people here, who is seriously stupid enough to believe that ?

I can't believe this...why on earth would Barack Obama want to be within 100 feet of Hillary Clinton any time in the future?

She has spent months bashing his his religion (he's Christian not Muslim), his Church (what about the priests who abused children folks or McCain's buddy who is an Anti-Semite), his patriotism (he was singing the National Anthem not saying the Pledge of Allegiance), his drug use (fully disclosed in a book he wrote years ago), his middle name (means Beautiful not Terrorist) ; his voting "present" as an Illinois Senator (something that is a political vote, not an absentee vote), his experience (he has 3 more years in an elected judicial position), his position of NAFTA (his other book wrote of his position and the Clintons did the wink wink to Canada), his Senate bills and record (far more substantive bills and resolutions than HRC); his absence after his announced his presidency (she has voted less than him and has also been absent); his purported plagiarism (while she plagiarizes his words); his lead in the race for the nomination (she is behind folks)....need I say more. Hillary: You and your supporters are truly delusional.

Obama/Edwards in 2008!

I will vote for McCain if HIllary is on the ticket.

Do you remember when you were a "kid" and your mother told you "NO"? And you tried and tried to convince her to change her mind, and in the end the answer was still NO?????

WELL HILLARY AND BILLY BOY: THE ANSWER IS NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is manipulative...she would NOT offer anything to Obama..she is lying again. She is soooo willing to let the front runner for the presidency of the US of A be her Vice?...but he is good enough to be the President. According to her, John McCain is better prepared to be the president than Obama? Doublespeak....Old politics....same ol Clinton.

Barack isn't ready for a president or a vice president spot. However, his refusal to consider a vp spot shows his arrogant me first and only me egomania and power hungry character.

Give it up Barack! You are a loser!

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

Barack Obama should be happy to become VP. If he doesn't want the job and gets more experience there, well I believe he never will have another chance to become our president. By the way there are other great contenders for VP. The black congress man Ford would be a great choice or Mr Rundell from Pennsylvania or Ben Nelson from Florida or Mr Strickland from Ohio, a must win state for the Democrats.
Who is Barack Obama, that being a VP is not good enough for him?
For the first time the press gave Obama a little negative coverage and he got cold feet. That shows that he is not ready. Under Hillary Clinton as President he would learn more to be ready, but may be he never is ready for the top job!

Derek Steinbeck

does anyone know this quote?

"we should on all Occasions avoid a general Action, or put anything to the Risque, unless compelled by a necessity, into which we ought never to be drawn." George Washington

Can anyone tell me obama's campaign is running against the meaning of this quote?

You know obama is following the principals of the first and most notible commander in chief in the histoy of the united states.

Some are calling his lack of attacks against hillary clinton as weak, but he obama knows something george washington knows and america has forgotten. Washinton message was to chose your battles and chose them wisely and to take part in battles which mean little to america and its well being.

One battle he is fighting is spreading hope as did george washington who was elected as the first commander in chief. So far his voting against the war in iraq follows the quote of values. Did hillary clintons choice follow his quote? Comaparing each persons campaign thus far do you believe hillary resembles anything that our country was founded on? Beyond the choice to very quickly go into iraq which clearly does not follow the greatest commander in chief's vision, please convince why to vote for hillary? What has hillary done worthy of mine and other obama supporters votes without a tear down of obama and without comparison of the two if obama was not in the picture why should i vote for her?

Note to DNC: trying to force these two on the same ticket: NO. It won't fly.

From what I read NPR.org reported Obama victorious.. but it is nice to see you guys are going to pick the winner, along with Fox, and company.

Bravo mainstream media.. and here I thought the people were going to be responsible for once.

Because NUMBERS do not lie, I hope this will help all advocates to look at these and chill off:

Pledged Delegates: Obama = 1,347; Hillary = 1,200 (+147 for Obama)

SuperDelegates: Obama = 206 (up from 90); Hillary = 238 (down by 25)

Total Pledged + SuperDel
Obama = 1,553; Hillary = 1,438 (+ 115 for Obama)

Texas Caucus
Obama = 23,918; Hillary = 18,620 (+5,298 for Obama)

Even if Hillary wins all the remaining states (including MI and FL), the odds of catching up to Obama is virtually impossible. So, this is a done deal folks! Note that any win will result in shared number of (proportional) delegates for these 2 candidates. Also, note that some SuperDels have started to shift to Obama. If you cannot deal with these numbers as facts, you must be a "blind" advocate!!

To America the Beautiful
What are you smoking! The Clintons are absolutely the most scandolous couple in the history of American politics. Hilary Clinton receives hundreds of thousands from Insurance companies and then tells you want to give you universal Health Care. Hilary Clinton votes for bankruptcy reform to make it harder for average American to get out from under debt. The Clintons support NAFTA. The Clintons received 10 million from Saudi Arabia for their library. She has numerous ties to questionable fundraisers one doing time in jail (Hsu) and the other fleeing the country to avoid prosecution. She lies about negotiating peace deals in Kosovo and N. Ireland. I was in my 30's when the Clinton's were in power and recollection of the historical facts do not bear this out.

Obama has been extremely restrained because you Clintonites will scream that he is going negative when he points out her problems. Face it America unless Jesus Christ himself is running you can tie EVERY candidate to someone that is questionable.

By the way how much experience did Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush have before getting elected. Remember this was the knock on Clinton. Oh but I forget you memory only goes back to 2000!

So, Hillary "won" the "big" states, huh. BS. Numbers do not lie! Obama won the popular vote as well as the delegate count!

Consider the top 9 "big" states that have voted so far

Who does she think Hillary is!?
1: Hillary insults the voters in "smallers" states.
2: Hillary compares herself to a Republican and then wonders why people hate her.
3: Hillary insultes the African- American community.

What is wrong with her? Don't people see what she is!

I think all these CLINTON supporters need to rethink WHY she would say OBAMA is not ready to be president but he can be vice president? This is her last ditch attempt to get the votes that she would otherwise lose.

If Obama was not ready then why make him #2? THINK AMERICA!

As a Canadian I have been engrossed in the democratic run. It is amazing how the story before the Ohio/Texas primary win regarding meeting with some of our politicians regarding NAFTA were smeared in the states..thanks to the Hillary Campaign. Our news media, and subsequently our government were not only disgusted at this "leak" within the government, but our Prime Minister expressed a sincere apology to the Barack Obama, and ensured that the source of this false story would be found...it's 3:00 in the morning Hillary, and your phone is ringing...it's the Canadian Government...are you ready to answer?
