"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.

Exactly… and the thing is that he CANT really say that SHE should be VP under him because his supporters would crucify him as not going for change.

Hillary knows how to play the "game" to bad this has become a game

No Way!!!!!

Hillary and Bill Clinton

Governor ELiot Spitzer and Bill Clinton, can Hillary call Mrs. Spitzer and giver her some advice……

Who in their right mind wants to strangle their career by partnering with Hillary?

Read our lips Hill, you need someone diabolical on your ticket. Oh, what about Bill?

Save your energy–Barack will be our candidate.

P.S. Tell Saturday Not Live to recommend someone for your VP, maybe they can ask Chevy Chase.

I think Hillary can do better! I myself do not like the fact that Obama would be on the ticket. Our whole point is that he is inexperienced. I think her match up with John Edwards would be unstoppable! All my best to Hillary!

GOD LOVES AMERICAN AND HILLARY CLINTON!

DID HUCKABEE OFFER MCCAIN THE VP SLOT???

OBAMA IS WINNING!!

IT RIDICULOUS FOR A LOSING CANDIDATE

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

HOW DELUSIONAL!!!!!

IT SHOWS SHE IS NOT READY TO BE PRESIDENT ON DAY ONE AND MAKES ME WONDER IF SHE IS EVEN READY TO BE VICE PRESIDENT IF OBAMA MAKES THE MISTAKE TO ASK.

Of course she does. She is getting desparate. Obama has never said he would be on the ticket as Vice President. Hillary thinks she can get Obama supporters now but she is just going to destroy the Democrat party.

This call for unity from Clinton… will probably end on Tuesday night. She doen't want a backlash from Mississippi voters like she got in South Carolina.

After Tuesday, its back to negative, as she courts Pennsylvania the same way she courted Ohio…

I think Hillary can do better! I myself do not like the fact that Obama would be on the ticket. Our whole point is that he is inexperienced. I think her match up with John Edwards would be unstoppable! All my best to Hillary!

GOD LOVES AMERICA AND HILLARY CLINTON!

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.

Why does Obama always complain that it is the same old politics. Such a whiner. Seriously.

Clearly. She knows exactly what she's doing. At once this makes me admire her (for her sharp political acumen) and despise her (for obviously trying to manipulate things.)

This takes Obama off his message. It makes him sound like he's in it for himself (notice she didn't say, that she thinks a Clinton/Obama ticket would be great.) and that he's not interested in uniting the party.

It's not very subtle and quite transparent.

Amazing. She really is as shameless and self-serving as Bill…and she really believes in the cliche that “you can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time…”

I used to be a Clinton supporter and I am deeply disappointed in her lack of scruples in pulling out all of the stops to not only unfairly alter perception but to utilize any means necessary to circumvent the system in order to secure the nomination. There’s something very Nixon-ish and/or Bush II about it all. At least to me, she’s exposed herself as a fraud who cares only about winning and shedding any inconvenient principles in the process.

It is coup on America demoracy, and a coup on millions of voters whom have chosen Obama to be their nominee. The world will be shocked to hear that a coup is going on in US if they succeeded.
They are working behind close door planning this coup, but it won't work for the Clintons this time.

Obama will never work with Hillary who has scandal corruption business dealing with Paul.
Jack visit youtube/hillary unsensord to feed your eyes.

The difference in Obama's and Clinton's stance on this subject gives an indication as to what is the primary objective of each.Obama sounds like his is getting the nomination.Clinton sounds like her's is winning the White House.

Billary, voters are not stupid!! Just like playing the race card in the south to scare off voters this will not work either! You can’t have it both ways! Billary is an example of everything we DONT WANT our children to be like when they grow up! Return some decency to the position of the presidency! We don’t want a Billary chameleon in the White House!

I think it did a little at first, but now being the genius that he is, Obama starting bringing up the conversation about, if he is not ready, why do you want him as your V.P. which now leans it in his favor, which is fine by me. I think the "dream" ticket is nothing more than that, and I would never plan to vote on anything that had the name Clinton on it.

Obama Richardson 08!!!!

Are the Clintons making these suggestions in PA, or do they just think

those in Mississippi are stupid enough to fall for this craziness?

(It smells like more racism to me, or is that just desperation?)

The response to how can Obama be designated as Vice President if he's not ready to be president, seems ludicrously elementary to me. Unless we all expect the person we vote for to drop dead on "day one," the vice presidency is an ideal learning experience for a prospective president-in-waiting. The qualifications for a vice president are not now, nor have they ever been the same as the qualifications for president. Senator Clinton emphasizes "day one" for a very good reason. She's ready the minute she walks in the door, he's not, but being at her right hand will some day - maybe some day soon, help him enormously to become ready "on day one." I fully support and hope for a Clinton/Obama ticket, and I know a lot of Democrats who feel the same.

Obama will be the Democratic Candidate for President and he would never ever consider even for a nano second to have Hillary as his Veep. She has consistently shown that she lacks the character, integrity and moral ethics to hold national office.

Since Hillary claims all of Bill's accomplishments, she needs to accept his defeats and disgraces, for instance, his impeachment and his betrayal of trust to the nation for what he did in the Oval Office with that woman.

Hillary is a joke. She is in last place and will be in last place in June. She will be sitting the race out in November unless she runs for Governor of New York.

Barrack is the leader in all the categories, except this mythical notion that the person who wins the big states should have the nomination. Its always something with those people. Having the Clintons back in the White House will be like having the Bushs back, but only with no Karl Rove to foul things up.

Obamites and like minded individuals, don't be deceived into the swendles of the Clinton machine. Its all about winning to them. Not about America. If it were about America, she would have bowed out a long time ago.

Now thats REAL

It would be the best of both. Democrats could control the whitehouse for 16 years.

Hillary 08

Yes she would benefit. Because she needs him, he don't need her. I'm so glad he put a stop to her political notion on this issue. She and Bill were only putting this out so that, voters leaning toward Obama would vote for her and there by not feeling guilty if end the end they would get him too. HRC is so slick she is worst than her husband!!!

Since Hillary obviously can’t make it on her own, she has to attach herself to someone with promise — first Bill, now Obama. The fact is she sees the numbers and knows she can’t make it — so now they spin. Obama is not a token candidate but a real one — one that is connecting to voters in a meaningful way. He does not need to take second place and the Clintons are arrogant to suggest it.

I will NOT vote on a ticket that has Clintons' name anywhere on it. This is no dream in a ticket. The longer she stays in the race, continues to try to knock down her competitor; the less I like or respect her.

Cry me a river. The only ticket Hillary needs is a ticket back to New York. Hey Big Apple, take her back, please–she's not ready for prime time.

Isn't there something you can do to keep her away from a camera? If I hear her voice one more time I'm going to move to Canada.

Who cares about Hillary–let's move forward. This country needs someone who will bring us change. Hillary is old news.

Barack is right. Hillary's comment is doublespeak, and it lacks her continious lack of judgement. One minute, she says he doesn't have experience as commander in chief. The next minute, she wants him to be the first in line for the job. Where's her judgement when she makes comment like this?

Hillary Clinton is a fraud. She manipulates the poor and uneducated into voting for her. Is anyone curious about the fact that her voters are uninformed and traditionally have access to less information other than what the media tells them. She manipulates the media to manipulate others.

Clinton , Like her or not , she is the best solution for now!
Obama- politician, hwo exploits the most touchy place in peoples soul and very experienced to run from office to office. That what he has done ..
There are NO doubts , that Clinton is a persistent doer /guess what: she should be condemned for it ??!!/ and he is the gifted calculator: now or never; 1/5 of the democrats hate Clintons, Republicans are not in a winning position, brainwash the youngsters and voiala!!

First I am inevitable,

Second I have many firewalls

Third I can say shame on you

Fourth I can mock him

Fifth, I want him my vice president even though I am not the front
runner. Yeah, I am entitled to the white house and nobody can take it away from me.

If Obama were down like Hillary is today, the DNC would have kicked him out long time ago. But since it is Hillary, she can say the stupdiest thing and people are going to take it seriously. Yeah, fairness at its best.

Could the media PLEASE just come out and say how incredibly arrogant and INSULTING it is for this to even be talked about or reported? It's like a joke — why is this being reported as anything other than an arrogant campaign tactic. She's behind in every way - how can she be so presumptuous?

She is alienating a lot of people - remember the last time she thought she was the presumptive nominee? December 2007, before Iowa. People don't like this attitude.

I can guarantee you that if Hillary is anywhere near the Democratic ticket, I'll be voting for McCain. Hasn't anyone ever that three's a crowd?
In New York, Independent voices are never heard. We don't get a chance to vote until the very end, but I can still voice my objection to Billary.

This is just amazing. He not experienced enough to be President but a great Vice President? I think this is a first in any campaign that the person in FAR Second is offering the person in the lead the Second position. Hey, while we are at it why doesn't Ron Paul offer John McCain his VP seat.

Of Course! Why do you think she is parading it around! And quite frankly, she would not be a good number two at all! She can always run for Governor of N.Y though!

It's called reaching out and trying to unite the party you negative immature Obama supporting pin heads.

Obama would be a fool to agree to be Clinton's running mate…And he's no fool/. Also regarding his name………None of us are responsible for the name given to us by our parents. Stop all this rubbish about his middle name. PLEASE.

Did I read the article correctly ".. a trifecta of victories that essentially salvaged her presidential hopes". She is no closer to the nomination now than she was a week ago. She is actually farther behind because she was unable to gain any ground. Come on, get real!

Hillary is a fraud. She is running scared. How about Bill Clinton as a VP?

The Clinton camp is truly delusional. He has more of the popular vote; more of delegates and pledged delegates. There is nothing for him to gain. But, everything for Hillary to gain. Incidentally, it has already been reported by the Northern Ireland government that her foreign relations experience is minor, which she stacks so easily as her platform for experience. Gimme a break!

She is trying to set the stage, so people will think she is winning. Get this Clinton, Obama ia ahead. OBAMA 08′ Go away!

Obama is as desperate, he is leading in terms of delegates, but he is playing the same game. If he is the speaker of "hope" and "change", then don't shut out 5 million voters in MI and FL. He doesn't want them to count for a reason! Maybe the first thing he wanna change is to give FL to Mexico and MI to Canada after selling out Ohio.

hiliary is so desperate til she has lost the fact that this election is not about her but about the people.

I don't want a dream ticket. If Obama gets the nod I am voting McCain. I vote Hillary and Edwards as the dream ticket.

Obama needs to quit and go be a minister or a motivational speaker or the next American Idol, but commander-in-chief. NO!!!

This is just HRC's way of trying to get Obama to add her to HIS ticket when he wins the nomination and to push the DNC to get him to do so for the sake of the "party." Obama won't go for it, I think he might pick Edwards instead. HRC wouldn't pick Obama either, she's talking out of the other side of her head….lying again and misleading people into thinking she is nice.

She is not fooling any voters with that bull, but only the media.

she's trying to speak for the remaining voters. hopefully she will be disappointed. GO OBAMA ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

I believe everything I see on TV and read in the newspapers and on these blogs. I get all my information from CNN, commentors in these columns and SNL. Think I'll wait until the dust settles and then decide on who to vote for - Clinton, McCain, or Obama.

Oh please. The Billary train wreck is trying to take more prisoners. Obama would be a idiot if he partnered with them. The best thing for America is for the Clintons to go away. Talk about old school Washington, nothing is more old school then the two of them.

She is just pulling trick after trick out of that old tired bag of hers.

If Florida and Michigan were in the delegate count, Clinton would be have already been nominated. They will be counted and she will win.
Two million people are not going to change their mind.

Stop knocking President Clinton. He really knows what he's talking about. The only thing that I could see why anyone would criticize either President Clinton or Hillary is because they were not aware of how wonderful the country was when President Clinton was in office.

America had NO debt. People were very positive about our economy. There was no war. The world didn't like the Clintons. They LOVED them.

Stop supporting inexperience. We really need to get this right this time. We're going down the wrong path with Obama. Let him be VP until he learns the ropes.

What sucessful businessman would hire anyone to manage his company without experience. Especially if the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Not voting experience is "silly".

We need to move away from these shenanigans……..The Clintons have and will always do ANYTHING to win. Don't think that every word that comes out of her mouth is not part of a well laid plan to win the presidency by any means. How incredibly arrogant she is! She and her elitist comrades thing that all of us out here in "normal land" are ignorant. We are not…….No more Bushes & no more Clintons…….We have had enough. The Whitehouse needs cleaning out and Senator Obama is up for the job. This Republican and many others will vote for him. Please go home, Hillary.

There are many other more qualified VP potentials out there. Obama isn't qualified for either slot on the ticket. Just because Obama has hit a nerve with the public doesn't make him qualified to lead the free world. This ain't American Idol, and I wish the media would stop treating it that way.

I voted for and supported the Clinton administration through the darkest times of the administration. One Clinton in the WH is enough, however, and I support Barack Obama in his bid for the presidency.
He is still in the lead, and I resent the fact that both Clintons are conveying the notion that Senator Clinton is in the lead.
I didn't care for her rantings of, "Enough with the speeches and the big rallies," (excuse me, Senator, but what is it YOU'RE doing?); and
I didn't care for the 3 a.m. ringing phone campaign ad — the fear card being played ad nauseam insults my intelligence, as does this new "dream ticket" tactic.
Thanks but no thanks — I want Obama for president. I'd sooner take my chances on prudent judgment than experience that really ISN'T experience at all.

Typical Clinton fashion. Can this lady please bow out like a lady? Oh, wait, her lady personality got lost with her pantsuits.

I think Billary should be Obama's minister for womens affair. That all I think she is good for right now.

Go Obama Go

It's a low move on the part of the Clintons and extremely arrogant. It shows complete disrespect for a candidate who currently leads this race. Nothing should have ever been suggested publicly without Obama's permission. VP names are never thrown out by prospective presidential nominees until those individuals have been spoken to individually. It's a blantant show of the same ole Washington Clinton politics at play.

Now Clinton is saying it is too premature to be discussing it. Talk about a flip flop. This is the Clinton strategy put it out there, leave it in the mind of voters and then claim as if you never made the statement. Give me a break. The Clinton campaign seemed respectable at the beginning of the year, but in the past two months it seeps to levels that I can't respect.

Obama won't choose Hillary because she carries too much baggage and reminds too many people of the past, which would hurt his "change" platform.

Hillary won't choose Obama because she has spent too much of her campaign bashing him. To say so many stabs at a candidate and then admit he's good enough to be your running mate would jeopardize her credibility.

I think either of them would do well running with Richardson or Biden. I think the nominee should choose Biden.

The wilder a boxer swings the easier it is to counterpunch. Hillary is desparate.

Of the eleven core Republican states that have gone to the polls, Sen. Obama has won ten: Utah, Idaho, Nebraska, North Dakota, Alabama, Alaska, Kansas, South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana.

There's NO WAY that Wyoming, Mississippi, and other Red states will vote Democratic in November!

This was actually brought up by the news media way back. I personally don't like Obama, even as a Vice President. I think the notion that the superdelegates will be deciding this, makes it an option the delegates would like. I don't see Michelle allowing him to do this. She has already stated if he is not the next President she will not do this again. His inclination to dismiss this completely, shows he is not the uniter he professes to be. If he is the nominee, he will not win in November. All those Obamakins he speaks of, will vote different in November. All those RED states he won, will go to Republicians in November. Obama has not won a large BLUE state, Thus the prospects of a win in November will be slim.

NEVEROBAMA - you realize that Obama has more years of experience as an elected official than does Hillary(12 to 8). This is subtle ageism… Besides, how many years of experience did two of our greatest presidents (Lincoln and Kennedy)have prior to being elected? This is a specious argument as experience is not an indicator of success as a president, judgment is.

An even better ticket would be Barack Obama and Al Gore. What better combination of experience and forward looking philosophy could there be than having Obama managing the country with Gore at his side providing experienced advise and promoting the projects that this country needs to overcome forty years of republican stagnation.

I do believe Obama is winning? Hello? Hillary is a nut. Her supporters are as nutty as she is.

She is trapping herself, she is limiting her ability to use negative attacks, this has been the only tactic that has worked for her. . .

It's just a bit of political maneuvering on Hillarys part here. Obama is the clear front runner and touting him as a possible VP is just her way of trying to put him in a subservient position on national television.

To Cafferty,

THE MEDIA was the first to keep asking Hillary about this the day after SHE WON TEXAS< OHIO and RHODE ISLAND!!!!!!

Cafferty just mentioned to WOLF that "SHE" was the first to bring it up"
Incorrect!

As Glenda the good witche said in the Wizard of Oz…

"Off with you, you have no power here. Now go, before someone drops a house on you".

want to talk a joint ticket well until hillary is the nominee she is second now and really cant catch my obama so if he wants to pick her it is up to him sure she wants anything she can get just like bill so unless you win the nominee i think that isnt something you talk about now .

This is the worst kind of condescending i have ever witnessed in my life. how on earth can a loser become so arrogant to offer the winner the second spot? This is the more reason Hillary will not and should not be the president. someone who thinks she deserves it by right and not by merit. this is pure rubbish! this wo,man should be kicked out by the party elites as fast as possible else i bait you the party is going down in flames.

I don't get it.. in terms of real experience, Obama has more. Not only has most of his life been devoted to the services of his fellow citizens, but he served on the state sentate before being elected to the US senate. So, I am a little confused to how Hillary can truely claim he only has a speach. I wish Obama would stress this issue a bit more.

Obama (as President) in '08

Well, let's see here. We have 2 candidates who have tallied up about the same number of votes and the party's now very divided. One of them suggests teaming up, and the other one, the "UNITER", dismisses the idea. Well, I'm glad at least Senator Clinton realizes what's at stake come November.

Hilary just needs to stop while shes ahead……..oh wait, shes not ahead and I don't think she ever was, ha.

HEY! Kim called me a monster in the above post. Quick , send me lots of money so she will stop it. Hillary

We are sick of you Hillary and will never vote for a candidate that is tearing our party (Democratic Party) apart! It is sooooo unbelievable to see Hillary how arrogant and two-faced you are! Are you Hillary aware that the TV cameras record and film all the mud-slinging you throw? Do you suffer from amnesia or have you been brain drained by Martians? Seriously, I feel sorry for you. Please go get some counseling or therapy, you really needed!

what can possibly be left in the Clinton Arsenal in it's Quest for Camelot? I mean, hasn't the final spin been spun?

Hillary doesn't care if she destroys the Democratic Party or not. Don't you get it, its all about her. I guarantee you that in 4 years Chelsea will be running for Senator of New York and then President.

The clinton campaign is insulting to everything intelligent. By the way, I lowercased "clinton" as an act of disrespect. It was not a grammatical error.

All polls show that the Dems are evenly split between the 2 candidates. And about 62% of Dems state that a "Dream Ticket" would be a good idea. Seems that she is just speaking to-and recognizing-the general feeling. Like the idea or not, don't start bashing her about an idea that fits the polls!!!

I am wondering something- what is the DEAL with the Clintons saying that they can win the big states. Um, You won 51-49% (TX) and at the end of the day more people voted for clinton AND Obama than mccain- if it is obama vs mccain what makes the clintonistas think obama can't beat McCain. My gosh, these people are cleary delusional.

Point proven… the Clinton's are ruthless and will do anything or say anything to win. Stand strong Senator Obama. We've had enough of those two to last several lifetimes.

Clinton & McCain = more of the same.

OBAMA 08!

Smart for Hillary to offer it now, knowing it will be rejected.

Once she wins PA, Florida and MI, she will be in hte driver seat and DNC cannot force her to accept a liability in OBama who carries a lot of baggage:
wilting under pressure when asked questions about Ryzko, promising one thing and planning on other about NAFTA and Iraq troop withdrawal, denying his heritage and lifting phrases from others without giving credits.

I'm with you Karen, I will NOT vote for Hillary, even if she is running for Vice President! I would think the country had enough of the Clinton's when they were almost IMPEACHED! CNN will not let the word impeached go out on any of my comments. CNN's media darling has got friends in high places!

The bottom line is we cannot win the Whitehouse without both of them. Neither one of them will have enough votes to get the nod, which is why the super delegates are in place. Obama will have the most delegates. It's possible, Hillary may have the most popular votes, so who wins then? Both of them need to sit down and talk like adults, and stop this "he said, she said" stuff. Either one of them is fine with me. And for those who say if their canadate doesn't get the nod, they will vote for McCain or Nader, I think you need to re-think that position. Both Obama and Hillary will push the same policies if they become President, so by not giving your vote to one of them, you might as well say it's okay to have 4 more years of Bush with McCain and that would be a shame. Just because your feelings are hurt and your guy or your girl doesn't get the nod, you turn on your party. That's not right…not right at all.

this is the reason why I have decided to NOT vote for SEn.Clinton.

Final decision made for me : I will vote for Sen. McCain if Sen.Clinton is on the ticket . I just about had it with these politics moves.

I request Sen. Obama to stay at a high ground and just ignore negative ads ALso push the message to voters that they need to ignore these negative ads as well.

NO matter how aggressive Sen. Obama responds, as long as voters consume the negative ads — it will keep on coming. As long as media outlets can make money, they will air them .

If the voters reject those ads, it will stop. That is how the system works — we the voters/consumers decide what we need. That is is democracy.

If Clinton successfully steals the election, then she would be forced to have Obama as Veep. Obviously, she can't win without him. Trouble is, she can't win even with him (and I don't think he would join anyway). Most Americans see past her fear-mongering, race-baiting, and bogus claims of experience.

If she cared about the party at all she would have dropped out long ago rather than use such sleazy tactics.

WHEN will Hillary stop endorsing McCain? No Republican would ever endorse a Democrat under similar circumstances. With a candidate like Hillary, the Democratic Party doesn't need enemies.

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.

hillary is a loser.the whole clinton team are losers.hillary might have don,t a lot better if she did,nt use the mud slinging techniques that
she and bill are using and have used.It would have helped out to if the last name was anything but clinton.

if i were hillary i would stop and look at my political career and do some serious thinking . She might be cutting her own throat witn the help of bill.

I don't recall Hillary ever saying that she would be in the first position with Barack being the VP. For all the comments out there, unless it came directly from the candidate explicitly saying this, then everything you and the pundits say is just your opinion. Stop twisting things around. I believe Bill and Hillary just echoed what people out there said that it would be a dream ticket.

Desperate times call for very, very un-presidential, win at all cost desperate measures. I wish Barack went negative but he's too good for that. What else will Hillary come up with sense she can't come up with the big W (win).

When she loses a state she says its okay we split the delegates but when she wins one even though the result is the same she takes it for all it's worth and makes a big deal about it

Should she be fighting for all delegates instead of cherry picking states? But then again she is fighting for two states that didn't count to begin with. I wonder would she even care if she was winning????

To all the folks who claim Red won't go Blue…stop your stupid analysis….Give people the vote before putting it in the bag. Obviously the Blue will stay blue so all those who voted blue will vote Obama. At least he has a greater shot of getting some of the other Red ones…Hillary has no shot at all….Period!!!

Hillary is a master manipulator. Here is yet another example of how she wants people to think that SHE not Obama is the presumptive nominee.

The thing I don't like most about Hillary is the sense of entitlement she has about the winning the presidency. Her "35 years of experience" is a crock to everyone (except her supporters). If you thought George W. Bush was arrogant, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Obama represents the people in America who believe that the government is owned by the people…not the other way around.

Hillary should stick to letting SNL and Jon Stewart make her case for her. She is just a mess right now.

There is another myth being propigated by the Clinton campaign … that a Democratic Presidency is inevitable.

With Clinton on the ticket, the Republican base would be energized in ways that popping a giat D-cell on McCain's back would not do. She would bring something to the White House that the American people are sick and tired of dealing with … baggage.

I'm surprised CNN made no mention of Clinton in their Spitzer article. After all, he is a big supporter of hers. Just goes to show, with friends like that …

The Clintons want so badly to get back in the White House! She would never consider Obama and is willing to lie through her teeth about it.

Why are we even having elections in states that Clinton's campaign thinks are unimportant?

Are the Clintons making these suggestions in PA, or do they just think

those in Mississippi are stupid enough to fall for this craziness?

(It smells like more racism to me, or is that just desperation?)

This is a Clinton tactic to get votes from Obama supporters and undecided voters. It doesn't work on me. My vote will go for Obama.

I thought that OBAMA was all for bringing the party together bring people together. I thought he was all about reaching out for the best of the party. Again all talk and no substance.

The only thing this shows is that he has no desire to do what is best for the party and lacks the eperience to know better!!!!.

Alan J. unfortunately its neither the media nor an American idol issue..its the American people that has spoken and they prefer Obama as the president. Are you reading the election results upside down?

——-
There are many other more qualified VP potentials out there. Obama isn't qualified for either slot on the ticket. Just because Obama has hit a nerve with the public doesn't make him qualified to lead the free world. This ain't American Idol, and I wish the media would stop treating it that way

Ok, Hillary did her part to try and unify the party, now she can get really tough on Obama. He had his chance, and cannot whine when Hillary get tough on him in the coming weeks.

This is just stupid. Not only has she decided that since Iowa has decided for the rest of the states and that all of the states that went for Obama doesn't matter, she has now decided to declare herself the winner and try to make herself look good by offering the VP position to Obama. Since there seems to be a gigantic disconnect with Clinton and the rest of the Democratic voters we should recap the facts! Obama is winning the popular vote! Obama is winning the most states! Obama has more delegates! Not only does she think that super delegates can over rule the voters, she has decided that she can over rule the voters and the super delegates. This is the lowest of lows and we don't need that kind of politics! We need change! Not the kind of change that shut down the government twice when Bill Clinton was President! Dont get me wrong I have always defended Bill Clinton but that has nothing to do with his wife. The biggest reason I don't like her is because I believe that PACs and lobbyist have corrupted our government and she takes money from the very same people that are charging us $4 for a gallon of gas while Obama doesn't!

I think the media is making more of this than there actually is. This is not an new subject and I have not seen anywhere were Clinton has said Obama should be her VP, other than people would like to be able to vote for both of them. She is still in this race and of course has every right to speculate. I see no harm here, only the media and bloggers blowing this out of porportion to create negative news for Clinton.

I find it funny how the media reports that Obama leads the popular vote, when that is not true.

Obama over reaction to this story makes him look arrogant, with a swollen head.

Maybe Obama should run Hillary's "generous" offer by Al Gore, who's been there, done that . . . . .

Billary, Please!!! He would never lower himself to be on a ticket with you. This is not change, this is needing a "food tester" for eight years!!! To challenge "John I need a Mc Cain" on Iraq and foreign policy…someone like Joe Biden or Chris Dodd would be perfect or one of the many respected "Women Governors" who is not tied to every scandel ot the 90's. Billary is only attempting to tear down the party so in 4 years if the Dems lose, she can say "I told you so". But, she doesn't realize that in 4 years…no one will vote for her again, except the delusional Billary Huckabee supporters!!!

By June 6th, Billary and the rest of the Clintons will be done…two speeches at the Dem convention and back to New York to carpet bag!!!

Obama didn't sell out the voters in MI and FL. Their state did. The man of integrity was and is just following the rules. I guess the solutions Clinton speaks of is changing the rules so that it fits you. Who cares about the message that this send to our children. If you look at the majority of primary elections, half the country doesn't get a chance to vote anyway. Even Clinton thought this would be over after super Tuesday…that's why she didn't start "caring" about MI and FL until she realized she needed them. Typical Clinton tactic, you're only valuable when she can get something from you.

To be honest, I think is too early to talk about it. Who knows, maybe in a couple of months from now it'll probably be different. But I think in some sense is just a way for the Democrats to "re-fuel" their engines……so far, they haven't stopped since….

. . .Wyoming sure didn't fall for it. Hillary Clinton is a con Artist extraordinaire. She starts talking nonsense when she's about to wander into states that
she thinks consists of less educated people to whom she can pander her
double speaking lies and distortions. At this point you figure that everyone has caught on to her by now. But she figures that she is
about to speak to the voting segment that doesn't know that two plus
two equals four(NAFTA). Since when does the loser tell the winner where he is going to
be on the ticket?

OBAMA /KENNEDY 08.

Obama - Next President of the United States of America

Hillary just looks pathetic, inappropriate and increasingly desperate with this ploy. There was a time I would have been happy to see them both on the ticket. Now I don't even want her as VP.

Obama-Edwards08!!

Is this woman capable of running a campaign that isn't sleazy and underhanded? Is this the kind of President she'd be? Of course it is.

Senator Obama is beating both Clintons and now they want him to take second place on ticket.Do they have some information we don't about Barack hitting his head on a wall or something. To call these two disingenuous is to insult all the disingenuous people of the world.

TEXASDEM - I agree - Biden would be a great VP - Evan Bayh has been mentioned as well -

Obama supporters are awful

Mission Accomplished Deja Vu
This talk by the Clintons begs the question: Does our country need four more years of a leader so detached from reality? The fight for the nomination is not over, the mission is not accomplished and all of Bush's banners and Bill's words will not change that.

FYI PER USA ELECTION POLLS…
Popular Vote

* Clinton Leads by 245,884

It is at moments like this that we can measure the true character behind people.

If Mr. Obama's goal were to unite the nation, he has to unite his party first. By refusing the suggestion, he is telling the voters, "Choose Me, or Else!" He could have simply said that it is a consideration given how close the voting has been.

Mr. Obama forgets he has no mandate. His lead in both the delegate count and the popular vote is slim to say the least. He must show he can unite the party.

And by claiming he is an agent of change, but when Florida and Michigan comes up, his steadfast insistence of "Playing by the Rules" seems odd. If he wanted to play by the rules, that's Washington without any change. And if he wanted to play by the rules, his argument that the Super Delegates vote the same way as the pledged delegates is nonsense.

It does not take a deep thinker to sort these facts out. Does Mr. Obama think we are delusional?

Wake up Hillary, not gonna happen. Obama will be the nominee and if you want to be part of the train, you better hang on to Obama's tail coat. Or better still, get out of the race if you are too shamed to acknowledge the change that's about to sweep across the country.

Clinton supporters need to ask themselves what possible reason the Clintons have for this concerted effort. Clearly there is no benefit to declaring a running mate at this juncture. They are trying to steal Obama's moment simply becasue they failed to destroy it.

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…

Either Hilliary is out of touch with reality (like we need more of those) or she is really arrogant to be talking about a VP slot for Obama when he hasn't been consulted on or approved of such a proposal, AND he is the one in lead. Anyway, I am sure her tactic is a bait and switch. (Can Bill be VP?) If Obama suggests putting her on his VP ticket, I will be incredibly disappointed. Hilliary needs to show integrity and campaign with honesty. So many different Hilliary's to choose from…

Look at all the comments.. CNN cannot post enough of comments ridiculing Hillary..

Obama comes across as an egnomaniac..

Obviosuly he is not prepared.. he could have been gracious and deflected responding to this … who is playing dirty now???

No, the Democratic Party benefits because with both of them on the ticket, as Bill Clinton said, they would be unstoppable. Their is no way McCain has a chance if all of those who voted for both Democratic candidates turn up at the polls in November.

This is key. Despite Obama's campaign talk about all the new voters he's brought in, recent polls show he would lose many white middle aged males who will defect to McCain. It's only smart to have them both on the ticket. Of course, Hillary benefits.

can 1 really benefit from stupidity the hillary's campaign is showing? 1 day they call obama an inexperienced dreamer, next they offer him a vp spot? r they really as delusional as they successfully present themselves 2 b or simply plain retarded?

She would be the only one who would benefit. She is trying to scam the voters into thinking that if they vote for her, they will also get Obama as her VP. First, he isn't interested in being her VP. Second, there is no guarantee she would even do it. Third, why would he be interested when he leads her in states won, popular vote, as well as the delegate vote. She should be on her knees begging him to ask her to be his VP. It will be the only way she can get back into the White House unless she can pull off a steal in Florida and Michigan. Isn't it amazing how Florida keeps screwing up the elections? Its time they learned a lesson about trying to bend the rules to their will.

"To all the folks who claim Red won't go Blue…stop your stupid analysis"

From the item on Rove: 'At one point during the speech, Rove reportedly lashed out at some of the students, saying, "You got a chance to ask your questions later and make your stupid statements, let me make mine." '

It seems Rove wants to make his own 'stupid statements' first.

Similarly, you want to make your own 'stupid analysis' and not hear anyone else's.

How Rovian of you.

Oh yea… Ron Paul thinks its a good idea and he is going to consider that!!!

I think it's an ok strategy that isn't very underhanded. I also think it lacks inspiration and is not very well thought through. It will fail miserably. Democrats are tired and are increasingly willing to extend Obama's lead. And if Hillary pulls out some underhanded delegate snarfing, say hello to President McCain.

The idea of the #2 offering the Frontrunner the #2 position is laughable… That only shows one thing: desperation.

I think he needs to "Denounce and Reject" Her suggestions of a combined ticket!

This is just another prime example of pitiful tactics from Billary Clinton.

She/He will stop at nothing…to get what they want. They will step on any and everyone to obtain more power.

I truly hope people will see it for what it is. She is losing and is now ACTIVELY making efforts to destroy a party that has no choice but to deny her what she seeks. The people have spoken and she is losing.

Stay tuned for more dirt from the Billary Coalition!

Clinton - Obama? Hahahaha yea right, who wants a phenomenon like Obama when you can get Bill Clinton as VP! Or someone like Wesley Clark. Old yes, but fully and loyally in the pocket of the Clintons! Charisma? No way anyone can have a bigger personality than Bill or Hill. Youth? Pshhh, who needs youth when you have EXPERIENCE! I mean, who cares if the Clintons were corrupt and secretive, they fought and beat those Republicans to a pulp! And after 8 miserable years of infighting and partisanship and getting absolutely nothing done, 8 more years of infighting and partisanship is exactly what we need because this time it's with the Clintons! YES. Fresh face? Change? Who needs change my dears when we have the Clintons? Can't you hear the choirs singing, the heavens parting…the only change we need is to boot the Bushes out and go back in time to the 1990s! Because the Clintons equal gods and Hillary Clinton equals feminist goddess and it is her right as a woman scorned and derided by all of those horrible people to be President of this great country. If she must fight to the Convention, she only proves to be what we love most about her - she is a fighter! She will FIGHT John McCain, the 71 year old man, and DESTROY him.

Ah, I can finally see the hidden wisdom of this line of argument: the way to get the nomination is to use Obama's delegates….

By that same line of reasoning the Patriots could have beaten the Giants, if the Giants would have given them some of their points.

Hillary, this is the way it works: get the votes, then you get to pick the veep. Or maybe you are more like Huckabee: into miracles instead of math. At least Huckabee never offered to have McCain be his veep.

Maybe Hillary's leaving the option open that SHE'd be VP. Whoever's on top of the ticket will need Democratic supporters from the "other side", and really there's about equal supporters on both sides. So, we'll need each other in the end.

lol…Mr. Winey-pants Obama! "Waaaa…I don't want to the second place ribbon,…. I wanna be first, I wanna be first" . Well then, earn it…..build up experience under Senator Clinton and then run for President in 4 or 8 years. OPen your eyes people…he is a politician just like the rest of them. In fact, he's even better than the rest of them because he makes you actually 'BELIEVE" what he's saying. lol What a joke. The idea of him running this country makes me want to move to England or somewhere! Another 9-11 is bound to happen if he is Commander in Chief…..our enemies will laugh us off the map, and no lofty, "hope" filled Obama SPEECH will change that fate. An Obama presidency is horrifying!

Obama is a Johnny-come-lately who would be lucky to get the VP spot. He should appreciate the offer, get some experience, and run again in eight years.

Only part that Hillary and Bill can play good and make it believable is on the Jerry Springer Show!

Why is cnn'c Candy Crowley interjecting her personal opinion in the Clinton-Obama ticket? I thought news correspondents were just to report the news and not make personal comments about it.
That is wrong, and that is why I have swiitched to Fox news.
Hillary does not need Obama on her ticket to win in november.
She can go toe to toe with Mccain on the matter of national defense.
She would have to take valuable time to train Obama fix all of our countries problems and that would just drag Hillary down.

Can anyone calculate the voters state by state? I do think Hillary won more voters but less delegates now. Because in the big state, a pledged delegate represents more voters than in the small state. And in the primary, a pledged delegate represents more voters than in the caucuse.

Maybe she should offer the VP slot to McCain as long as she's at it. She's already endorsed him repeatedly. She clearly is no Democrat.

Obama is hypocrite just like Ophra. He's not willing to unite the party. He has his own agenda , his political ambition to be president . To hell with the american people who voted for him, he will drive America down with him.

HILLARY IS THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE SUPER DELEGATES WILL ALL VOTE FOR HER BECAUSE THEY ARE DEMOCRAT PARTY REGULARS AND SHE HAS SOLID SUPPORT OF THE DEMOCRATS AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. WHEN THEY VOTE SHE WILL GO WAY OVER THE TOP. THAT IS WHY OBAMA IS TRYING TO CHANGE THE RULES AND SAYING THEY SHOULD VOTE FOR HIM. THAT IS BALONEY AND IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. TO FORCE ANYONE TO VOTE A CERTIAN WAY IN ILLEGAL . OBAMA HAS BEEN GETTING THE VOTES OF PEOPLE IN WYOMING WHO VOTE REBUBLICAN AND THEY ARE SCARED TO SEE CLINTON AND THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE BEEN VOTING FOR HIM.

Be careful with Obama. He just talks but did nothing useful or successful, ever. Just voted not to punish child predators or to help energy special interests in Illinois and accepted money and defended Rezko and pressed the wrong button when he had to vote on important staff that required he to take a position. That excepting when he voted 'present"

Folks,

Clinton does not think that Obama can be President - hence her 3AM ad. Of course, she thinks that he would make a good Vice President??? Duh…. someone needs to remind the Clintons (that includes Bill too) of the Constitution - the VP is second in line to the president and HAS to answer the phone at 3AM!!!

I am a bit suspicious here - Obama is ahead in the delegate count and in the popular vote, but with Clinton "suggesting" that he VP, is she trying to convince voters out there that she is ahead when she is not? It is a political move on her part and it is going to backfire. More proof to vote for McCain.

At the end of the day, Clinton NEEDS Obama's supporters, not vice-versa, but I suspect that this so called "dream-ticket" will turn Obama supporters away - they will either stay at home or vote for John McCain.

The Clintons have 1 less VOTE today their BIG SUPPORTER and friend Governor Spitzer ,Who was caught today in a prostitution ring .
Like Obama always say "same old same old .. thats why you cant send the same cast and characters back to Washington and expect a different result".

sheer desperation!

OBAMA '08

Hillary is starting to sound as delusional as Dubya Bush.

Of course she does. She figures that they will get elected if Obama is on that ticket. My Goodness folks, she may be a liar but she is not STUPID.

The Clintons were not almost Impeached-DR. He was impeached. Only Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton have been Impeached. That is the Clinton Legacy. Both Johnson and Clinton were acquited of the charges. But the bottom line is there were both IMPEACHED by The House of Representatives. You remember, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". Again, we are espousing Clinton's definitions-broad, and vague. I hope the Senate censures Hillary for all of the CRAP she is doing to the Democratic Party. Then her legacy can be that of Aaron Burr and Joseph McCarthy-good group. Hillary for Govenor of NY. Great Job-35 years experience. WIlly can be Lt. Govenor. NY deserves those Carpetbaggers. Oh, as an aside, Andrew Johnson returned to Tenn. and became a distinguished US Senator!!

Clinton has too much "Old Washington" experience. No where near the 35 years she thinks she has but still, way too much.

We don't want anymore "Old Washington" way of doing things.

We want Change.

We want Obama!

Clinton will divide the dems and reps just like her husband did if not more than he did.

Clinton has way too many corruptions, scandles, lies and mistrust to be our President.

I don't think Hillary is really in a position to offer the VP slot to anyone; she's losing.

Hillary is the worst possible choice for a candidate. She's really just the opposite side of the George Bush coin; devisive, selfish and cruel. She couldn't build a consensus that the sky was blue,She has no aptitude for leadership and would be a disaster in a position of authority. I don't support Obama because I think he's that GREAT of a candidate but because I know Hillary is truly that BAD. I've voted for Democrats for 24 years but if she slimes her way into the nomination that streak ends this year.

To date, voters have chosen Obama to be president since he has more popular vote and more deligates. So it seems Clinton is leaving it up to herself who becomes president. Ummm…???

Hillary will do anything to get into the white house at all costs! It's not going to happen. If Hillary is either the democratic nominee or VP to Obama, which won't happen I'M VOTING FOR McCain.
Do we really believe that she will ask Barrack to be the VP if she wins the nomination after all the negative attacks she's made on Obama?
Come on America wake up!! How can you not see through this shallow woman???

Dream ticket– very funny. Clinton on any part of a ticket would be a NIGHTMARE.

The republicans are chomping at the bit. They can smell Clinton and all her baggage getting closer. They know the leaders of the democratic party have no spine and they can picture them caving in to the slimy Clintons.

Once that happens……..democrats will lose so many voters they will wonder what happened….. AGAIN!!

The November election was handed to the Democratics all wrapped up with a bow on top. Slowly but surely, it is coming unraveled and not one party leader has the guts or the no-how to stop it.

Harry Reid is pathetic, Howard Dean is pathetic, Nancy Pelosi does nothing but wag her finger, and what are we left with. BTW: Howard…. good planning. You tell Michigan and Florida their delegates will not count… but you forgot to plan what would happen if the situation that we are in occurred. Very clever. What a chump. I hope the DNC fires your pathetic a..s.

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

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

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

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

Please STOP!

what i don't understand is how she can try to sell this VP slot for obama, when she said that any VP choice she makes will be based on the requirement that the VP is ready to be president. with all her attacks against obama not being ready, how will this work? i doth think the sen. speaks with forked tounge. this appears so transparently a ploy that it is insulting to the intelligence of any voter. these kinds of contradicting messages reinforce the belief that sen. clinton is willing to say and do anything to win. yes, she is a fighter, but it appears more and more that she chooses to fight dirty.

America the Beautiful March 10th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

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.

You must be a crackhead. This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard."a blessing that President Clinton would suggest this idea". LOL…Please get help.

The party benefits from it. this ticket would almost ensure a Dem president…………..whoever it is they face a battle to get anything done they say as the senate / house can stop anything whether majority or not

I cant believe all of the stuff i have read about this. The more i read the more Hillary supporters sound like brainwashed zombies. I mean is it even fathomable that they are supporting the Clintons push for the votes in Florida and Michigan to count. How desperate do we need to get here. Saying she wants Obama as a V.P. Please, save your pretentious pandering for people with no imagination and no intelligence. You are the picture perfect image of what we do not and never need for our country. I hope this serves as a reminder to how deceptive Hillary's campaign is and how desperate they are to get to the top. People of Penn. do the right thing and end her run to the white house. We need this nightmare to end so we can move on to realistic and positive change.

Read Obama's book! It will open your eyes! He has been through much adversity. He has not had a silver spoon stuck in his mouth like Hillary! She has NO CLUE what middle or low income is?

Clinton wanted to appear as if she was willing to bring the Party together at the Convention despite and increasingly negative and divisive primary campaign. Her attempt was, however, a too thinly veiled attempt to attract voters and superdelegates to jump on the Hillary for President wagon (a wagon most appear to be jumping off of). Obama supporters saw through and were insulted rather than swayed and Clinton has ended up looking more deperate than magananmous.

Jude,you forgot one small thing Blue can turn Red as easy as Red will turn blue and if BO will continue with his highly annoying arrogance states like Florida and California can and will do it very easy.

Notice she only hints. thats to try to fool would be Obama voters.
Her on any ticket would be a nightmare. The country is on to her schemes and duplicity. They can try to spin all they want.
Maybe she could ask her good friend and super delegate E. Spitzer to run with her. oh guess not. She needs to be president to pardon him. Wonder if billy was with him. lol more sleazy dem NY politians.
NY sure picks some doozys. lol

I am a Hillary supporter, but Obama does have a point. She is putting him in second. But Obama should not sound too arrogant either, if either one wins it's a dream ticket and they both know it, just neither one is ready to claim second until this primary is all over, us Democrats better not blow this chance.

Hillary-Edwards would also be a dream ticket!

Hillary- President
Obama- VP
Edwards- Attorney General Wow!!

Man, am I glad to see all the folks supporting Obama. To anyone who thinks this race is "tied", I'd really like to point out that even after Hillary's "landmark victories" in Texas, Ohio, and (laugh inserted here, and I was a Rhode Islander for four years) Rhode Island, she trails him by the same amount she did before, 110 delegates. Seems close? If Hillary had won by 15% in Texas, instead of 4%, she would have made up about 20 delegates. So, she only needs five Texases. No problem.

Incidentally, If Michigan and Florida were counted, even if they went OVERWHELMINGLY Hillary, she still wouldn't take the delegate lead. She still wouldn't be close. Also, it won't because they're pretty much tied in Michigan, but its nice that that's an irrelevant point. And Hillary was the only one who campaigned in either, so what does that tell you?

As for your lovely, ridiculous "big state argument," anyone think Texas is actually going Dem in the national? Or California and New York red?

Well done. Good ol' common sense and math.

The Clintons are so very very predictable in so very very a tiresome way. Self serving, self absorbed, self interested - is this what we need today? Isn't this what we've had, at least as far back as the Reagan years?

Is the globe excited, intrigued, hopeful about either a McCain or Clintons Presidency - NO!

Is the globe excited, intrigued, hopeful about an ObamaPresidency - Yes (WE CAN)!

W has so squandered US good will, internationally ( domestically, he is equally disastrous) that a same old same old Clintons/McCain presidency will just allow our credibility and influence to wither further.

The Clintons Campaign is so phony, it's doomed before it's administration reaches Day One.

The notion that Obama thinks he is ready to be a President is absurd.
He lacks experience and there's ample of doubts revolving his integrity and honesty as candidate. Obama fooled so many young voters early on and tried to do the same with their parents but failed. His double talking, secret dealings with foreign countries, involvement with corruption, questionable patriotism to his country and his continued bashing of Sen. Clinton doesn't fit him to be Vice President let alone President? He disrespected over 1 million voters in Florida who voted for Sen. Clinton by calling their votes a merely
"Beauty Pagent". He fits the category of the President of the Unprofessional Senator (U. S.) with Karl Rove as his Vice President.
I trust Sen. Clinton to answer that 3 a.m. phone call and make the right judgement for our country and the American people.

Yeah right!! Who in there right mind would attach their rising star to a sinking ship! Even if he were gracious enough to accept I would never vote for Billary! Been there, done that, time to move on!

And Obama's smart enough to never offer the VP spot to Clinton, there are too many better choices out there than her!

But the media is all for it! After all the media seems to be paid supporters of the Clinton campaign there days.

More states, more delegates, more votes and more money make Obama the only choice!

GO OBAMA!
