This 58 year old Independent is so inspired by Senator Obama that I donated to his campaign, for the first time since I have voted in any election. So, if he is not the Democratic nominee in November, I'll write in for Blomberg!

I have new found respect for Nancy Pelosi. Hope other Party leaders speak up soon and start working on uniting the party against the republicans.

Don't be silent Democratic Leaders! Speak Up or forever hold your peace.

UNITED WE STAND!

At least she tells it like it is.

Blame Hillary for every conceivable ill faced by this nation. That's what Obama supporters are doing. They don't have anything good to say about their candidate than hope, thus attack your opponent. I never heard any details about his economy turnaround plan and never seen detail outline of how he is going to withdraw troops. Instead of spending time on Hillary, spend a little time on your own agenda.

Hopefully more high powered democrats stand up and chase Billary out.

I'm stunned at the people who think that Pelosi would say this because she is "jealous" oh Hillary. Doesn't anyone get it? Hillary had the black vote sewn up (check polls from last year) and blew it with her and Bill's negative campaign in SC. Now she and her team and supporters are offending women by acting as though we have some ulterior,insecure motive for not voting for her.

Well, all I can say is that I DID vote for Ferraro and I DID NOT vote for Hillary. I have no fear of strong women and was fully compfortable with Ferraro a heartbeat from the Presidency. I just prefer Obama for President this time.

There is no doubt that McCain would make a better Commander in Chief than Obama.

McCain is very knowledgable about foreign affairs. He is very experienced in domestic policy – including supporting and implementing real "change" for which many Republicans have reviled him. He is a hero and he knows the military, inside and out.

There was no party "unity" here. Obama's legions of groupies and troopies are intoxicated with his grand dreams, good looks and yes, he is intelligent.

But Obama is no John McCain. He is no John Kennedy (sorry Ted).

On another site I saw an Obama/Lincoln comparison so ridiculous because Lincoln took the toughest stands, thought about them a long, long time and executed them, making him a great Divider during his term, though his sober, stubborn divisiveness saved or recreated the Union. What they have in common is the power of words, the ability to speak. But Lincoln had something to say.

At least she's honest and isn't buying into Clinton's political BS.

Atta girl, Nance, keep up the good work on focusing on the real issues of the moment in Congress. Curse FISA and all the rest, let's speculate on which ticket won't work!

Thats OK, Hillary was just being nice to Obama. She dosent want him to throw a fit again. Boo Hoo, Eveyone picks on Obama. GROW UP!

So much for keeping positive thoughts about the Democratic party. Pelosi had to go and be a Debbie Downer.

Over the course of this campaign Hillary has managed to change my feelings about her from a benign distrust to downright loathing her! I was among those who early on would have voted for her if my candidate didn't get the nomination, but since I have a conscience I couldn't possibly bring myself to vote for such a loathsome and disingenuous human being!

While Obama was helping the Democrats win Dennis Hastert's old district in Illinois, Hillary Clinton was praising John McCain and setting up the Democratic party for failure in November.

Lets get real people, Hillary is getting desperate!, its such a shame because I believe her arrogance is what leaves a bad taste in my mouth.,I have yet heard her appologize to the citizens for any of her bad decisions especially her tactics. I believe she would rather leave the party divided than to look at the numbers and back down.
and besides what is she hiding? give up the tax information and get away from cheating bill. She maybe a Democrat but her arrogance is much like the current leader. Its that attitude that we are right and the world is wrong that keeps the U.S. in Wars and looked at the guys to beat…..Just a reminder Hillary its not about YOU!!!!

To John Smith:

I have changed hillary's name to Obama so now let's see you answer THESE questions…..

Where is a single proof that Obama can deal with a Foreign Policy crisis? I await your answer_____

Where is a single proof that Obama can unite Republicans and democrats to implement real solutions for this nation?
I await your answer_____
(and please don't give "Oh Repub are voting for him b/c I have many Repb friends who voted for him just to laugh when McCain become president)

Given that "past behaviors" best tell what the individual will do in the future. What is the hope the scandals will not become evident during an Obama term?
I await your answer_____
(Just remember the word Rezko….it all starts somewhere and you are a fool to believe that this was just a boneheaded mistake.)

so….you
Please be honest and give me actual data to each question

Unfortunately Pelosi has failed in her job and now she's trying to regain some popularity by riding on the back of Obama. She really should just endorse Barack because she's made her preference plain enough in the past month.

Fortunately for the people, Pelosi has no say in who will be president (other than her vote) and she has no say in who will be vice president.

Can we democrats stop saying that the supporters of the other candidate are brainwashed, sheep, a cult, or idiotic?

The fact is Hillary supporters are impressed with her grasp of the issues and are not convinced Obama is ready. Obama supporters believe that he can bring real change from the bottom up my inspiring people and that Hillary represent the dishonesty and big money that is corrupting our system.

I have come to find that mostly children and zealots post on these political blogs. I rarely find a thought provoking post. Can't figure out why I spend so much time reading them… guess i just really want my guy to win!

Obama 08!

What?! Neither Clinton nor Obama wants to be the other's VP?! No!!! Given the typically oversized ego one must have to run for President, this should surprise no one.

I'm taking all bets that Hillary will run as an Independent if she doesn't get the nomination!!

Oh this is soooo much fun. As a Republican, I'm loving this soap opera. Let Shrillary and Obama keep attacking each other–makes McCain's job easier. Go McCain !!!

Headlines: "OBAMA robbed of nomination!"
Result: "Nader splits Democratic vote. Hail to McCain!"

Scary, but true.

OBAMA '08
if not, then its
MCCAIN '08

Woo hoo! Jump on this Obama. Use Pelosi's argument in your next speech!

Down with the Clintons!

I find this comment puzzling.

Either she is pitching to be Obama's VP, or she is just being stupid and divisive.

I dont care if she supports Obama, she has every right to. But for someone of her position to openly criticize the otherside is simply a reciepe for an oncoming disaster in the democratic party that may very well tear the party apart. I'm not sure what she is trying to do, but this is just silly.

Sounds like Nancy is looking for a promotion from Speaker of
da' House to Vice President !!!! If so, I am definitely voting for
McCain.

Garry Lemons, you are a racist. And the race card was brought by your girl Hillary. She is dividing the country not Obama. Obama has NEVER put down Hillary's supports. You can't say the same for Hillary.

Hillary is addressing the joint ticket because there are many people in this country that want that to happen. Obama isn't addressing it because his ego won't allow it and he's going to pick a white man to run with. It's never going to happen either way.

This is one of the old tatics in the political book:

Seduce your opponet by offering him a role to play, but in the meantime, marginalize the importance of the role.

The problem with the tatic is that you only do that when you are ahead (or has more control) not when you are behind (or on the loosing track)…

By the way, CNN has caved to Hillary Clinton's media bias bull…

Gary,
From Arkansas..you are truly showing your true color. When Blacks voted overwhelming for the Clintons there was no issue with race, when whites voted overwhelming for white candidates there was no issue but here we go with a Black man running for President and people across ethnic lines are voting for him so why is it a race issue. I guess the people in IOWA and NEBRAKSA are black right. Apparently they see things differently from you southern prejudice rednecks.

Thank you Nancy for being honest. I don't even know why people have so much hate for each other-we all the same. Every voter is being given a chance to choose a candidate who appeals to them-so whats the big deal. In the end the votes will show who the American people will have chosen. So let it be-drop the ill words-you only hurting yourself.

This Lady hit the nail on the head !

And this is why….

America Is Ready
Obama 08

Speaker Pelosi, you are one smart cookie. Thank you for trying to bring an end to this nonsense.

Now, step up and support Obama Speaker Pelosi!!!

Its one thing to point out how negative she has gone, its another to standby silently and watch as she does it. Its time to end this awful chapter in the Democratic party.

Where is Gore, Edwards and the other party "elders" when we need them? Mississippi, do the right thing and put another nail in the HRC coffin.

THE IDEA OF THIS DREAM TICKET , IS CRAZY.

OBAMA IS NOT IGNORANT OF SATANS DEVICES. THIS IS ANOTHER

TACTIC THE CLINTONS ARE USING FOR THEIR ADVANTAGE, BUT IT WILL NOT WORK

It does not matter who wins. I will vote for Obama or Clinton. They both bring the change we all want and need. We will have change when the Bush Administration is out. We can not have another Republican in office. The United States has suffered way too much for it to happen again.

This PELOSI's statement (ADMINITRATION meaning CAMAPIAGN)clearly signifying a critic of CLINTON, shows that her "non-commitment" is now only formal,

TOM

Thanks Nancy for your courage to speak out the truth. I hop ethat now more democratic leaders to come forward and formally endorse Obama.

THANK YOU NANCY. MADAME SPEAKER YOU WEAR YOUR CROWN LIKE A QUEEN SHOULD. ABOVE THE FRAY.

I love it. The Clinton gambit has failed miserably and Obama stands tall. Not sure what they were thinking….

Without a joint ticket, they stand a good chance of losing. If I were Pelosi, I'd be trying to bring the two together rather than making statements like this. The combination of those who voted for both would be overwhelming against McCain. Without each other, many of their supporters will defect to McCain, especially white males.

Cheers, Pelosi.

There's a woman GENUINELY vested in the best interest of the Democratic party and the country, who did not get to where she is because of the merits of her spouse.

Shame on you Hillary for fracturing the party for your own ruthless, selfish, quest for power.

OBAMA/BOXER 08

This 60 year old white women from PA will not vote for Clinton, ever!!!. It was a toss up at the beginning, however, she turned me off big time.

***OBAMA 08***

SCBRWON,

I just wanted to point out that Spitzer is a superdelegate for Hillary. Nice one! Let's see anything else? It is time to stop this and realize that Hillary can't win the popular vote. Look at the road ahead and try to find more than two states she will win. Let's move forward and let the Democratic party heal.

Obama 08

Thank you Madam Speaker for calling you know what on the Clintons. It is fine for Hillary to draw the contrast between herself and Obama; however, she went way over the line touting John McCain would be a better choice over a member of your own party. At this point, Hillary should become an independant nominee and not that of the Democratic Party.

Wonderful Pelosi!!!! Finally someone speaks the truth to people. Hillary, if McCain makes a better Chif and Commander for you, joint the ticket with him and not with Obama…. and your call for Obama to be your VP was a very funny jock …I laught about it a lot. Thanks for the jock.

Since when is it Nancy Pelosi's job to decide what Obama will and will not consider? You can bet the house on this, if he picks Nancy to run with him, he wont get the votes of half the democratic party, much less anybody else's. She has been to put it mildly, ineffective in the position she holds now.

nancy said something that made since

I wonder if hillary has the grace to admit she went to far with endorsing McCain or will she just launch another negative attack.

Marcus, I'm in Minnesota, and I don't know a single Indepependent who finds a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket remotely appealing.

The dream exists only in the minds of the media and people attending Clinton rallies. It's a nightmare everywhere else.

Nacy, what an idol she has turned out to be!

Barak Obama needs a solid conservative democrate from south as a running mate who people trust. That is not John Edwards. I will say, that is Virgina Governor Tim Kaine will be the best selection. Hillary and Bill are too devisive and too greedy. Its time we tell them to get out of Washington.

THIS IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE – OBAMA PEOPLE HATE HILLARY AND HILLARY PEOPLE HATE OBAMA. WITH OUT EITHER OF OUR SUPPORT NEITHER CANDIDATE WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER. IF OBAMA GETS THE NOMINATION I WILL DEFINETLY VOTE FOR MCCAIN.

HILLARY IS OUR ONLY HOPE!

VOTE HILLARY
VOTE HILLARY
VOTE HILLARY

Obama all the way………

It's clear now…it's one or the other…..I hope Americans choose Obama…..

From a Canadian…watching with great interest….

JOE AND JENNY SOUND LIKE HILLARY CAMPAIGN WORKERS!

WHY ARE THEY POSTING ON THIS WEB?!

Knowing Nancy understands political risks – it's good to hear her clarity. This powerful positioning can be good for Obama!

A vote for Clinton is a vote for McCain!

Hillary/McCain – so losers!!!

VOTE OBAMA!

This shows a good evaluation of Hillary's experience and judgment: humiliate anyone you disagree strongly with in the process. Now to the facts:

Where is a single proof that Hillary can deal with a Foreign Policy crisis? I await your answer_____

Where is a single proof that Hillary can unite Republicans and democrats to implement real solutions for this nation?
I await your answer_____

Given that "past behaviors" best tell what the individual will do in the future. What is the hope the scandals will not become evident during another Clinton term?
I await your answer_____

Please be honest and give me actual data to each question

Could the response from the poster named "Jenny" in this comment section represent the Clinton campaign any better? I think not.

Hahahahahaha.

OBAMA / PELOSI …NOW THAT'S SOMETHING TO PONDER ON.

OBAMA 08 & 12

Pelosi for president, 2012!!

It's amazing how dense Obama fans have become. The moment Pennsylvania votes for Clinton and the re-vote primaries kick in Pelosi will endorse Clinton.

She said what the Clinton camp cannot say: Neither Barack or myself wants to be the Vice President.

The Media put them on the spot in the CNN debate held in LA. That was a joke of a question and got the obligatory "we'll see" in response.

Obama/Edwards 08!!!!!!!!!

By the way, the 26 pledged candidates gained by Edwards. Can Sen. Edwards decide whom they will vote for at the convention? I guess Obama might offer him the vice presidency…

I guess Obama really doesn't want change, just rhetoric

I have been supporting Hillary until now. Game over.

Obama shouldn't even think of VP and take a back seat to Bill let alone getting so close to the slease factor. He shouldn't think of picking her for VP because that would put her a heart beat away.

YOU ASKED OTHERS TO KEEP QUIET, YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YOURSEF

All good Dems in Pa, for the sake of our Party, vote Obama and end HRC's reign of terror!

She is right, Clinton can do better anyway by selecting a more experienced VP candidate.

obama/pelosi or pelosi/obama either way I am for it. denounce and reject hillarybilly.

Jenny – You are almost old enough to be responsible for the stupid things you say.

UNITED WE STAND!

Obama / Pelosi '08!

If Billary have half a brain as Pelosi, she would have left the campaign trail gracefully by now…because Obama is winning!

VOTE OBAMA – Let's put Billary out of her misery!!!

CNN. Please post my comments and do not ignore

She is true on this one. No joint ticket. I don't want the sleaze bag Obama on any ticket. She is wrong to think we are tolerating her support of Obama when CA voted overwhelmingly against her little prince.

Oh, Nancy, what do you expect from the Clinton camp when so many Democrat insiders are siding with the new kid on the block; Kennedy, Dashel and Kerry are to blame. I agree with Hillary.

Do something as speaker of the house; your are giving women and and Democratic party a bad name.

um in case some of you havent been paying attn Dems lose either way. If hillary's not on the ticket you lose 25% of her voters in the General. If he isnt on the ticket you lose 10% + the rogue indies and reps pulling him through until the general…. hee hee hee

I get the feeling that the Democratic leadership is going to step in very soon to end this mess before the division gets worse, and particularly before they have to waste time and money in Michigan and Florida.

With Hillary being behind and with no way for her to catch up except by cheating, they'll tell her that it is time to call it quits for the good of the Democratic party and the nation as a whole.

If the Dream Ticket happen "We should consider ourself lucky". This is the only way to beat McCain. I didn't understand how Pelosi can be dumber than Obama

Hey Nancy

Be warned, if Obama wins you'll be one of the first to go because you've done NOTHING in your new job.

Cindy from Harrisburg —

It's a slap in the face to intelligent women everywhere when women like you state that you are voting for Clinton because she's a women, or everyone's being so unfair to her.

You should be voting based on the issues, not the gender.

Catch up to the 21st century, will you!!!

If this falls apart it is also leaders of our party who are not loyal to any one and have played a great roll in thsi mess

If Obama gets the nomination I don't want Hilary as VP either.So I can vote McCain without regret(of course I vote democrat only if Hillary is on the ballot).I know CNN will not post this comment!

A big Amen to what Shannon Shiflett said at 4:04!! So true.

I am tired of it being said that because I am woman I HAVE to vote for Hillary Clinton. Let me say that I can't wait for the day there is a woman president. But as I want the Presidency to go the right man I also want it to go to the right woman and Hillary is NOT the right woman for the job.

I find it puzzling that weeks ago, Hillary changed her campaign, stating that Barack Obama does not have the wisdom or experience to run this country but she wants him as a running mate? But on the bright side, this is a good ploy to bring in the independent and/or undecided votes. With a Clinton/Obama ticket, they can have the best of both worlds (with emphasis on Clinton name being first).

And the Madame Speaker has Spoken… thank you Nancy P..

Hillary needs to stand down,.. Hillary is bad for Amercian progress.

What is all this fuel about? Is "beating the republicans not the ultimate goal? It is insane for Nancy to say so, because neither candidate can beat McCain without the support of the other. Not enough delgates left to win the nomination, unless one endorses the other

As far as I know, politicians do say whatever it takes to win, so while we "democrats" analyze and accuses each other, McCain is watching, laughing, and sipping on a champaign. Should we start making up and apologizing to each other for the sake of the "democratic ticket" I careless about who said what, by continuing the drama, we are endorsing a McCain ticket.

And to Cheyenne Branham – these are the facts! This is exactly what Speaker Pelosi said, quoted directly from the source. That is what I call a "fact". Where's the bias in reporting what Pelosi said?

New dream ticket: Clinton/McCain!

The other side of Obama wouldn't be as formidable if he were black is that HIllary would not have been formidable if she weren't Bill Clinton's wife.Seriously, I for one cannot see any of the experince she claims.Yes, America is ready for a woman President but Hillary is not the one.She is too vindictive, to divicive, to inspire followers.Seriously, if Nancy Pelosi ran against Hillary,I would vote for Nancy.She has better judgment, more wisdom and can inspire people of all walks of life and gender to follow her.Hillary's victory would be on the account of Bill and not her own.The experince she has been claiming is slowiy dissipating.

Oh come on! Pelosi is a sour grape waiting to be mashed!
I don't think Pelosi likes anyone but herself!
Maybe looking for the VP hmmm!!!

Edward would have been a lot better candidate than this Obama

FINALLY ! someone in the Democratic party are starting to come to their senses.
The Clintons are systematic and methodically destroying the party as we know it.

can we have a nation wide do-over primary and have Pelosi run instead?

Well, finnally there is someone out there who actually can think. As the democratic head, she sure has one by pointing out that hillary was dead wrong for selling out a fellow democrat rather then losing to Obama.

Nancy Pelosi should be the face of women politics in America.

She would make a much better presidential candidate then Hillary.

Doesn't Senator Clinton believe in the "one man, one vote" principle affirmed by the United States Supreme Court?

What does it tell you when Hillary supporters are insulting the highest ranking Democrat in the country?

Listen to yourselves!

Hillary supporters are actually insulting Nancy Pelosi!

The word "divisive" doesn't even begin to describe Hillary Clinton's politics.

Pelosi is absolutely right. Hillary is trying to ride on Obama's coattails, implying a vote for her is a vote for Obama as well.

Funny how Hillary can imply Obama will be her VP one moment, then she and her surrogates can call Obama an incompetent affirmative-action candidate the next. Desperate campaign tactics from a sleazy politician.

Obama-Edwards 08

Pelosi seems to be disenfranchised with Hillary Clinton….or am I reading too much into her statement?

The Clintons are reaping the fruits for violating one of the cardinal rules of politics (i.e sleeping with the enemy)

Well said madame speaker. I too feel the exact same way. Shame on Hillary she is absolutely the most duplicitous person I've ever seen. I had no idea until these primaries of just how unsavory Clinton's character could be. It would appear she and Bill are better mated/suited than anyone ever knew.

When Nancy Pelsoi was named speaker of the House I cried and jumped up and down and told everyone I could Democracy is alive again!

I had such hopes…..now she makes me sick to my stomach, what happened? How did they get to her? She always looks heavily drugged!

I no longer value anything she might have to say!

clinton is trying to steal this nomination from obama AT ALL COSTS even if it means putting a republican in the White House. Is this who you want to be your leader??? Whats all this foreign policy experience she is talking about it is turning out to be a bunch of HOT AIR.
Clinton supporters – put it to bed. No one is being sexist against your candidate. Its funny how you only call the sexist card when someone in your camp points out that Obama wouldn't be where he was if he weren't black
Coem again with the CLINTON DOUBLE STANDARDS. America we dont have time for their lies and mind games. Do something for your country – vote Obama

only FOOL still trust clintons

This fall, the democrats can only beat themselves…

When Hillary plays the “experience” card, I believe neither Clinton nor Obama stands very strong in the argument about foreign policy experience, at least comparing with McCain. However, the difference between Obama and Clinton is, Obama has acknowledged it, but Clinton has intentionally made false claims to glorify herself. This just confirms one point with me: Clinton lacks integrity not only to be a country’s leader but also to be an ordinary human being. Hillary will NEVER get my vote.

i think Pelossi would be a better president than Hillary…

OBAMA 08

Yes but it will never happen!! The Clintons represent old style kitchen-sink nasty politics whatever it takes to get ahead whereas Obama stands closer in values to McCain . Bothe men seem decent and not your typical politicians.
CLinton needs Obama… but Obama should never consider the CLintons God knows what they would do to undermine him and get to that President seat!!

To Garry Lemons of Arkansas: You're wrong on the facts. At this point in the race, Obama is AHEAD in the popular vote, by about 600,000 votes. If you're going to try to tell other people how to vote, at least get your facts straight.

Democrats: Stop the Clinton's mafia, NOW!

As is Obama so is Pelosi "Not Smart". If Obama is the nominee McCain is the winner in Nov

I agree with Nancy Pelosi. It is unfortunate that the democratic party is going to lose another opportunity to gain the presidency. In 2000, the Clinton's scandals & lies sparked the,"moral majority" that took the election from Gore. In 2008, the selfishness & "negative politics" of the Clintons will eventually result in the election of McCain.

What gives Clinton the nerve to talk about a joint ticket anyway? She's LOSING, and WILL NOT win the nomination unless Obama gets screwed out of it at the convention. Why would Barack ever want her on the ticket? Clinton on the ticket is the only thing that will bring the Republicans out to vote. John McCave sure isn't going to do it.

MCillary March 11th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Obama And Pelosi

MCcain and Hillary

Now this is funniest line of the blog so far…funny and very accurate as to how things should be. I can trade Pelosi for McCaskill. Pelosi is doing a good job as speaker.

WOW. THIS IS HUGE!

HILLARY HAS SUPPORTED THE BUSH MCCAIN POLICY MORE THAN SOME REPUBLICANS. WHAT WOULD SEN. OBAMA DO WITH HER ?

Hillary's right on! John McCain WOULD make a better president than Obama. What she failed to mention is he'd make a better president than her too

I think Pelosi has seen the damage that the Obama campaign has caused. It is incredibly devisive

Looks like another bad judgment call for Hillary. This one will destroy the democractic party. Thanks Hillary

Woodbridge VA

VIVA OBAMA. GO OBAMA O8

MCCAIN-CLINTONS THE DREAM (NIGHTMARE) TEAM

BILLARY-MCCAIN THE NIGHTMARE TEAM.

Hillary supporters keep bringing up rezko.

I have 2 words for you: PETER PAUL coming to a theatre near you, April 08.

Oh and by the way, the Clintons have had dealings with Rezko also. And Obama is not implicated in any dealings.

My guess is that following the Mississippi Primary, if the results break decisively for Obama (>55%), a slew of Supers will announce their support for Obama over the next few days, effectively putting the nomination out of Clinton's reach for good.

Having Clinton on the ticket "top or bottom" would be like adding spoiled food to good food and wondering why it all went bad.

Shut up Nancy!!! You have no backbone!!! The Republicans have run all over you. I have now respect for you or for your plastic surgeon…get your money back girl.

Hillary told the truth, McCain would be better than Obama. I will vote for McCain for that very reason IF Obama is the nominee of the democratic party!!! I have never voted for a Republican…this will be a first and I am sure there are many more like me.

Give me a break. Peloski is for Obama. She couldn't stand it if Hillary was President and usurped her power. This is women fighting women and Peloski keeps adding fuel to the flames. California is watching.

I am very proud to have Nancy Pelosi speak up regarding this issue, because Mrs. Clinton is not thinking of the Democratic Party at all. You never demoralize a member of your party for personal gains.

It's unfortunate that a First Lady (Mrs. Clinton) and political official (Mrs. Clinton) should behave in the manner in which she is conducting herself. It's not about being the first women or first black. It's what is good for the "Country".

Nancy Pelosi is a lot smarter than G. Ferraro. And I am glad for that.

i agree. hillary clinton stooped to some of the lowest and sleaziest moments of this race these past few months. she is honestly quite evil. as a senior citizen i will line up to caucus for obama when he comes to Pennsylvania. Dont give up Mr. Obama!

Thank you, Speaker Pelosi for speaking the truth. The Clinton campaign is throwing this idea around like it can actually happen. Maybe it would have been a possibility if the attacks weren't so nasty and personal, but they have essentially ruined that opportunity. There will never be an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket. And guess what….the Clinton campaign never wanted that anyway!

Well, whad'ya know … the truth. Now if there was a certain female candidate who could tell the truth once in a while, we'd all be shocked to know it as a most remote possibility. At least Nancy Pelosi embodies all that is good and progressive about her gender, instead of manipulating and twisting the american pyche and reality in knots and perpetuating a long-held, undeserved stereotype.

Pretty bad when the top Democratic leader has in a very nice politically correct way chastized the runner up in this process.
I would predict that if this enrages the voting public as much as I think it has, Obama will pretty much sweep the remaining states. There is no reason for comments like this entering the race, it is shamefull to put it in a politically correct way.

JULIA , SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE AMERICAN. I FEEL THE SAME WAY

It's true. It would hve been possible a month ago, but Senator Clinton flushed that possibility right down her kitchen sink

Both Clinton and Obama are too arrogant to take second place!

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.

Blinking Polosi come's out of the shadows and give's her two cents.

Obama Pelosi ticket may be?
I would support Pelosi anytime, she is a woman of integrity and honesty, and has worked hard for her position and not rely on her husband's 35 years…………

thank you Mrs. Pelosi, I Hope more democrats step out and say it, it is time we speak out…

Pelosi is a traitor. Women are their own worst enemies, and if we never have a woman president, that's why. If it wasn't for agressive, tough, ambituous women like Senator Clinton, women wouldn't have the right to vote still, let alone become president. It wasn't sweet warm nurturing women that brought about suffrage, I'm sure.

"Clinton Administration?" was that a slip of the tongue?

Obama wouldn't foolish enough to be VP for her. Look how Bill ruined Al Gore's politcal career.

BILLARY-MCCAIN THE DREAM TICKET.

Pelosi is a liar, Hillary didn't say McCain would make a better commander in chief she said he had more experience like her than Obama when it came to foreign affairs only. Pelosi is a blowhard and I can't stand watching her blink 50 million times a second when she is either speaking or sitting on her throne in back of Bush.

shame on you madam speaker, shame on you…for taking so long to come out and say what everyone is thinking.

Thanks for pointing this out Madame Speaker. United we stand, divided we fall.

OWNED!!!!! Hillary your days are numbered!

Hilary as held an elected office since 2000, Obama since 1997! What are you guys talking about.

Do you think Wolfson and her other PR people just stand out of site during her speeches and just shake there heads? If I had to front for her I would lose my freaking mind!

Mrs. Pelosi points to this fact that Mrs. Clinton just said that she would like Mr. Obama as her VP to win the Democtratic nomination. Mrs. Clinton has shown that she would do anything for it. At least this move did not hurt the Democtratic party, did not help Republicans.

Like she gets to decide.

While your fat mouth is opining on the race, why don't you say something useful? Tell Barack to pack his bags and go home.

If Obama wins, I'm voting McCain.

Thanks You Nancy Pelosi for finally speaking out.

Hillary please stop dividing the Democratic Party for your own selfish reasons, please. If you are a true democrat you will not play dirty politics against your fellow democrats.

Thanks again Nancy! Hope others speakup soon and start uniting the Democrats for the real prize. United We Stand!

For the folks who say that Pelosi is just agreeing with what Obama already said, I think she is actually being quite a bit more specific and unequivocal in her pronouncement. Obama has not said the idea is dead. Rather, he has said he'll get to it later. If he would be as clear as Pelosi is, this really would be a dead matter. But, as usual, Obama is clear about very little.

"I think that the Clinton administration has fairly ruled that out by proclaiming that Senator McCain would be a better commander-in-Chief than Obama,"

What a disgrace to the party Hillary is!!

CINDY OF HARRISBURGH,

That is the reason you are voting for Hillary? What a great reason to support a candidate. Beacuse they are treated unfairly and they are the underdog. WOW!!!

This isn't the SUPERBOWL!!! This is the election of the President!!

How about making a educated decision based on facts!! Try it…you might like it!

Nancy Pelosi is starting to show me maybe she should be the Speaker of the House with her take on the so-called Dream Ticket.

It's slight amusing to see some of the fems turn on Pelosi for even suggesting that the Dream Ticket will play in November with all the negative comments Hillary has been making starting in the period leading up to Texas/Ohio Tuesday.

I for one will NOT vote for any ticket that include Clinton and all the baggage of the past. Re Clinton's running mate, she should move Spitzer to to the top. Just think about all the fun parties Bill and Spitzer could have in the West Wing!

Thank you Nancy for your candor. Thank you Barack for your hope and inspiration. Thank you Michelle for your pride. How I ever made it through these 30+ years without either one of you is still a mystery to me.

Hillary is not destroying the Democratic Party. A party boss that is arrogant enough to say screw Florida and Michigan Dems because they want to exercise their collective rights to vote prior to Super Tuesday and then expect to win those vital states in November is killing the party. A bunch of feel goods that think this is negative campaigning but hope to go against the attack machine of the RNC and its surrogates that can turn Max Cleland into an unpatriotic American are killing the party. Whatever happen to the fighting Yellerdog Democrats that knew not only how to take a punch but more importantly, how to deliver one.

america should know that obama is the only man who will save them from all the mess, both internal and outside the world..

Pennsylvania please do not make the mistake Ohio did. wake up dont be duped. Clinton only cares about you until you vote for someone else. Then you dont matter
CNN why arent you criticizing Clinton with all the questions floating around about her character on the internet? You are making it pretty obvious you are guning for the Clintons

Hillery is very selfish and thoughtless to have said what she said last week, stating that she has 35 years experience McCain has a life time of experience and Obama just have a speech, That says she is just thinking of herself and not her party, she is too phony

Thank you Madame Speaker. I wish I lived in your district becasue you have spoken the truest words any DEM could at this stage in the game. I just wish you would have called Billary and told them that PRIOR to her going negative and trying kill the spirit of the DEM VOTERS?

Well one thing for sure, if Billary wins the nomination, Republicans will get the WHITE HOUSE but at least we will still have the Congress.

With the states Obama has won , he will will the general election.

The hardcore blue states , have all went to Clinton.

Hillary says McCain is a better CIC and then wants Obama to run as her VP…she is completely full of S**t….how did she ever get a law degree peddling all this inconsistency?

The higher-ups in the Democratic party need to talk to the Clintons and make them realize that they are hurting our party. The Clintons have thrown enough mud and spin and they are still behind in the national polls and pledged delegates – it is time for the Clintons to GO HOME before they divide our party even futher!

The only reason Clinton got more votes in Texas in the primary is because of all the Republicans that voted for her so that she would get the nomination so they can switch and vote for McCain in the general election!

The republicans and the Obama supporters are NOT going to vote for Clinton in the general election and then McCain will end up winning.

VOTE OBAMA – the candidate with integrity.

We should always remember that Edwards and all the other candidates could have done better if there was a campaign in these states. The race wasn't selled on these two candidates until florida.

Are you sure that neither of those who didn't campaign in FL and MI is not going to sue, or that their voters are not going to sue? we better be careful. If we do something that is going to jeopardize these votes, and the nation's voice, the party may find itself spending the next months in court than on the campaign against the republicans.

Moreover, those who voted nationally or didnt' vote because those votes were not supposed to count will be really pissed off and will stay home. Is that what the party wants?

Find a way of getting the clintons off the campaign. We need to get this thing going but not with them.

Nancy Pelosi hasn't shown me anything yet. Oh yes she will go however the wind blows. All you people who thinks Obama has it won may be in for a rude awakening. Yes he will win Mississipp! The reason : He is black and he talks well. tThat's it! Well if he is nominated then Mcain will be president and your"HOPe" will be greater than it has ever been. If you weren't so scared of Hillary you wouldn't be on here everyday trying to destroy her. It isn't working. Everyone isn't blind. All this big deal is not even based on the truth: Hillary said they might make a good ticket. She didn't ask him to be vice president. It isn't over. The media bashing is the worst I have ever seen. They need to report facts instead of bashing Hillary.

This is so true. But Obama will need the support of Clinton's supporters for November. I read my son a cartoon book called "Duck for President" last night. In the book, the duck campaigned with "Duck for Change" and won. I don't get why people are so fascinated by Obama's change, it's really an ancient idea. People will get tired of it soon. McCain will win against Obama. After all, American elected Bush twice.

Hillary is not hated because she is a woman, she is hated because of her dirty tactics. There are plenty of women who would make great Presidents but not Hillary. She is too controversial and divisive!!!

Hilary sold us out, how can you say that McCain is ready and Obama is not. That automatically disqualifies him as a VP, unless you want to lose. Furthermore, how can now Obama pick her as VP, after she said that he is not qualified.

Hilary did us in, she would sell her mother to get in the white house, and I thought this was the ticket. The more I think about it the more upset I get at her! Genius!

Think about it she is qualified, she can't pick him because she will have someone that is not qualified; McCain who is qualified just needs to pick a qualified VP to till the election. The argument, If something happens to her he would be a none qualified president and the fact that she said it, how can she argue against that when she said it!

I can't stand her!

That's good for the democratic party. The supposed party of political correctedness, party of change, the party of opportunity seems to be the most racist. Racism is still alive in America and tolerated even more so. God forbid if Senator Obama call for change stir up some ole cob web thinking. He's as qualified if not more qualified than Senator Clinton. He has judgement and a level head whereas her claims to authority/experience only come from riding her husband coattails and the need to side with the popular vote in the most debated war of our time. Thanks Saturday Night Live and the rest of the fanatical Clinton fans for making a once cohesive and unified party a politcal pun.

maybe this was what hillary was thinking…….when she wins the nom. there will be allot of pressure for he to ask BO to be her running mate……she knew if she said something now he would say something without thinking….now she will not need to worry about him.

HetyJohn in PA…Obama himself said the same thing yesterday. He most certainly does have a say.

I'm no Nancy Pelosi fan either, but unlike many, I never found her to be the deluded type. This proves it.

The funny thing about this whole thing is that I could see any other candidate (if they were hypothetically in the same tight race) being in a position where obama would say yes to being a VP to someone if they flat out won in the nomination process and didn't go negative or annouce to the public that obama should be just a VP……..She is the sort of politician that he wants out of politics why would he dare join forces with her?

As long as Billary Clinton remains in the campaign trail for the democratic nomination, John McCain doesn't need to do a thing!

…Hillary is campaigning for John McCain – free of charge!

Billary's campaign mantra: it's either me or John McCain!

This woman can't lose gracefully!!!

Guess what guys, NOT all the people have spoken. Reality check: 8 more states to go, 10 if you count MI and FL whose voices have not been heard.

in the begining i said i would vote for either or, but throwing a fellow dem under the bus and linking yourself with the REPUBLICAN, IS GOINING TO DAYUM FAR. I was a diehard HRC supporter, but i am more dem then HRC and aligning herself with john mcain b/c your losing have made allllllllllllll the clinton stories true…. NO I DO WANT TO KNOW WHATS IN THOSE DAYUM TAX RETURNS B4 THE REPUBS GET A CHANCE IN THE GENERAL.

WAIT! The Heavens are Opening Up!!! The Celestial Choir is Singing!!!! Praise the Lord! Finally…they're coming to their senses!!!!

There is NO dream ticket, for Hillary Clinton to even suggest such an idiotic possibility is just another sign of her "true colors".

The Hillary camp must be on drugs to even suggest something so stupid. This is what the Clintons do when they are in panic mode. They start grasping at air, not even straws but air!!

I think Americans are getting sick and tired for the same old "politics as usual" tactics that the Clintons are known for. They run a very deceitful and disgraceful campaign. It's proven in the fact that her buddy Gov. Spritzer's involvement in prostitution is point and case. This guy acted and behaved as if he was above the law. Sound familiar? Geee, I wonder who else acts like she's the president already, even when she's in second place. Talk about ego.

.

Finally someone has better sense.

Personally, I think Pelosi will make a much better "First woman President".

Time to end the show for Clinton!

yes you Obama fanatics. Listen to Nancy Pelosi. She has changed so much since the Democrats are in the majority! NOT
She has not stood up to George.
Don't you pie-eyed liberals realize that the Republican candidate with the endorsement of the worst president in history is running just about even with both of the Democrats. Is this not a wake-up call?
United we stand a chance, divided, we are the laughing-stock of Fox News, Rush all of the rest.

No CNN should shut up about such a "dream ticket" and focus on the facts
Where is a single proof that Hillary can deal with a Foreign Policy crisis? I await your answer_____

Where is a single proof that Hillary can unite Republicans and democrats to implement real solutions for this nation?
I await your answer_____

Given that "past behaviors" best tell what the individual will do in the future. What is the hope the scandals will not become evident during another Clinton term?
I await your answer_____

Please be honest and give me actual data to each question

I don't think Clinton is the only one that is behaving in a way that is unbecoming. Obama would NEVER be VP for any woman…at least that's the way he comes across. Over the course of this campaign, Obama has become more and more negative. While I admire his ability to inspire, he is a politician with aspirationsand ambitions of his own. The fact is that although you may not like her, this election has been split down the middle. Obama has not succeeded in eliminating her. She has a huge backing. That MUST be respected.

to sc brown:
Google whitewater, if you want to talk scandal and corruption Clinton is the definition!

Never say never. But I agree. I don't believe it would work either way. Obama would be the loser in both cases. Too bad he can't win the bigger states. He'd have the nomination sewn up by now. Not that that would keep Clinton from sniping. Her hunger for power has eaten away at her good sense (if she ever had any to begin with).

RE: Garry Lemons, Arkansas March 11th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Isn't voting based on gender equaled to voting based on race? When a white candidate receives 70% + of white votes couldn't under your logic be races?
But, I guess the people in Wy, ID, UT, HI, IA… are all black. Or just maybe people are tired of the race / color issue and realize has done nothing to move us forward as a nation. I believe all races serve, fight, and have given their lives – they deserve better than the divisiveness of RACE!

Oh, and I forgot to add… but how magnanimous of 2nd place Hillary to over Veep to 1st place Obama. Really! The nerve.

By the way, at one time it was possible. It was Obama's stump speech that has made it impossible. So all you Obama supporters are obviously trying to manipulate Pelosi's words to your advantage. Just like Obama manipulates all of you. Didn't you notice that Pelosi is neutral? You are all the reason I will never vote for Obama.

Pelosi's comments are loaded… she would not want a female president, that would mean that she would no longer hold the highest position in American government.

However, she does have a point. Mrs Clinton has beaten up too much on Obama and said too many nasty things to now take him aboard and he would be showing a sign of weakness by taking her, seeing as he is (lets not forget) leading in the polls.

You must then take a step back and examine why Mrs Clinton would even suggest a thing… the constant plotter she is!!!

Throw this strategy out and see if it works.

I agree with the Speaker of the House. It wouldn't be good for either of them or for the country. Aside from the fact that they have no chemistry, if I were Senator Clinton I'd be too annoyed with him for ruining my time in history especially since he has no better plans for anything than she has. He could have waited his turn and may still have to.

HA HA HA HA HA thats all i have to say Clinton oh by the way please see the washington post (CNN = Clinton News Network). Sinbad discusses his trips overseas with Clinton that she is claiming as foreign experience. He said the only "red phone" moment they had on the trip was in deciding what to eat for lunch.
ha ha ha oh Hillary you and your supporters show that craziness and arrogance are alive and well in the good ole US of A.

Hey obama , go win some more republican states

McCain/Rice

Now that's a dream ticket..

Hillary's big mouth and dirty tactics, along with her supporters, are ruining the Democratic Party. The longer they continue the more damage is done and greater advatage is given to John McCain.

Thank you Senator Pelosi, for making it clear what many have been saying for awhile now, Senator Clinton and her campaign are stooping so low they are giving McCain and his buddy Bush more and more amunition to use this summer.

Thank you, Madame Obvious. Usually, candidates pick runningmates that will help them win states. If Obama picked Hillary, it would stimulate 10 million more republicans to vote for McTorture Bill.

hillary supporters have the weakest minds in the democratic party–they're practically republicans. they think all women should vote for her. they think all white people should vote for her. they think all democrats should vote for her just because her last name is clinton. they actually believe she has experience because she was the first lady. they eat up all the lies and manipulation just like republican sheep. obama supporters are the true liberals, the true progressives in this country. go ahead, put another bush or clinton in the white house if you hate america that much.

Nancy Pelosi is the status quo and she needs to go !

She was for the war and Obama was against the war. She was given a Democrat majority and has not ended this bloody war. She needs to go!

She should have impeached Bush and she has not. She needs to go!

Obama 08
Yes we Can !

Funny How Clinton Fans won't admit that this Hillary's comment will hurt her and her party. You Democrats are so funny…first your candidate is all about being nice…then she is yelling..then she is saying we will be fine…then she is saying Obama is weak and Mccain is better.

Well the Clintons did it again…..

scbrown,
your comment doesn't even make sense. what is the point you are trying to make? yes, gov blagojevich is a superdelegate for obama BUT GOVERNOR ELIOT SPITZER IS A SUPERDELEGATE FOR HILLARY!!! Does this make it even now? Lets do a little more research before we post!!!
Thank you!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi you are not a true Democrat. I thought it was something wrong with you when you talk the sentors out of impeaching Brush & Chaney. I hope your state is watching you. It was possible for you to become the 1st female House speaker. I hope when you run again for reelection that you don't get it. I think you are under cover Republican, made to look at first like a Democrat. I think you should have kept your opinion to your self, but that's okay now we know where you truly stand. No wonder nothing has been done since you have been the House Speaker. I thank GOD you don't have the last say so in this vote or the last say period.

Pelosi and others in Congress were elected so that the war in Iraq could end. Congress has a lower approval rating than George W. The war continues and George W is still the president. If you're impressed with Nancy Pelosi and this Congress, you need your head examined.

I'm sorry, but who is she to make that comment. Do I think it the so-called dream ticket will happen, no. But Pelosi has not standing to make the comment. "No ambiguity?" When was Pelosi given the right to say who will and won't be on the ticket?

Nancy Pelosi should just endorse Obama already. She has done a terrible job and should have been removed from her position along time ago. I dont know why Hillary would even want Obama on her ticket. I would NEVER vote for Obama he is a terrible nominee for president.

-life long democrat

Now Hillary will have to figure out a way to make Bill Speaker of the House if she can steal the nomination and fix the general election.

Do your Job Madam Speaker and *impeach* this war monger President and Vice president before they do more damage to the world by starting war with Iran!!!!
The fact that Admiral Fallon is resigning and that he was for diplomatic tactics with Iran is a sure sign something is going on behind the scenes concerning Iran!!
Please do the job the American people put you there to do before more damage to peace transpires and its too late!!!
These two are the worst terrorists in the world!!!!!

I feel that at one time that scenario would have been a great idea, but given the last couple of weeks and the tactics used by the Clinton Campaign, that thought is completely out the door.

Especially with the attack ads and the "McCain would be a better Commander in Chief" comment, and the win at all cost attitude Hillary has portrade. Now America will suffer because we had two very qualified and able historic candidates, that could have been a Political Powerhouse.

Hillary and her campaign destroyed that notion period.

OBAMA/McCASKILL 08

Obama is proving that he cannot negotiate with his own party, let alone negotiate with the Republican party and every time something is said about him that is true but he doesn't like, he acts like a spoiled brat. Hillary is bringing out the true colors of this man, she has shown that he is not the good natured, inspirational candly man that he has tried to portray himself as.

I think that Obama is showing his true colored feathers by his reaction. I don't think that he's equiped to handle all the Republicans will throw at him should he win the nominee.

Thank you, Madam Speaker, for saying what needed to be said. I am an Obama supporter and have been since BEFORE he even decided to run. I was part of the Draft Obama movement. But I was an Obama supporter who would have voted whichever Democrat who won the nomination. But after what Hillary has done to destroy the party, and taint the likely nominee, even if she were to squeak out the nomination, I would vote for Nader or just go and vote for Congress and leave the "for president" part blank on the ballot!! Hillary whines about being criticized by the press, and by other prominent pols, so harshly. Please! Her willingness to win-at-all-costs demonstrates a selfish smallness that is so obvious. I'm surprised she isn't criticized even MORE.

I never thought I would say this, but I actually agree with Nancy Pelosi. Though the two candidates appear to be after each other's jugular, the biggest impediment would be Bill Clinton himself. I don't think any Hillary Presidency, regardless of who her VP would be, could be effective with that narcissist roaming the halls of the WH.

I support your 1 billion percent!! NO JOINT TICKET!! YOU ARE A LEADER, NOT A FOLLOWER!!

P.S. Hillary is not Bill! She might be married to him but she is not him!!

Speaker Pelosi has spoken like a leader.

When you are a leader over many people, you should always be ready to stand up to tell it like it is. Some people are jsut plain spoilers, if they can't win.

Hillary is sensing that she can't win. so she is trying to spoil it for the democrats.

Don't forget that she is a friend of all the republicans from bush to Mccain.
Either way, she wants to stay relevant by spoiling it for the democrats, so her friends at the republican party should win.

Nancy Pelosi did a good job. I admire her for that.

The way delegates can be sitted even though they were pig headed in FL an d MI is to divide the delegates from these states proportionally to the national delegate earnings. That way, it will reflect the will of the people nationally. We should remember that in this fight, hillary has sided with the rebel states. So, if there is a revote of any kind, she stands to benefit from her crime.

HILLARY IS NOT BEING UNFAIRLY TARGETED. SHE DESERVES WHATEVER SHE GETS. SHE IS DESTROYING THE PARTY!

One more thing that needs to happen is Al Gore should endorse Obama and refute all experience Hillary is brandishing. He was VP at the same time she is claiming her experience. He had more access and higher role in White house as compared to Hillary and he exactly knows what Hillary was doing at that time. Obama should be nominated as soon as possible to defeat John W Maccain in fall.

scbrown,
your comment doesn't even make sense. what is the point you are trying to make? yes, gov blagojecich is a super delegate for obama

what about all the florida voters who were told our vote didnt count??? Hillary now you are talking about Obama as VP?? DREAM ON he would never work with you you need him more than he needs you and your whiney voters know that thats why they are MAD!!! ha ha ha you guys are hilarious let all the drama play out Obama will be in teh White House come January 2009

Finally…

A voice of reason!

Woosh! That is the sound of HIllary's last ditch effort being flushed down the toilet.

Now the gutless democratic party leadership will just sit by and enable Hillary's whims, by allowing her campaign the extraordinary latitude of continuously redefining what the criteria for winning the nomination will be. HRC is burning her party and the country, by endorsing John McCain over Sen. Obama, who is leading in delegate count, popular votes, and states won.

The democrats never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Am I the only one with a brain here today? Of course it's possible for a Clinton/Obama ticket….look at JFK and Johnson…they were worlds apart from each other, and said some nasty things of each other in their primary, worse than what's going on here, and they managed to team up.

Pelosi, you need a good history lesson, yes, you do…

I think Hillary Clinton tore her draws by saying John MCcain a republican would make a better commander and chief than Barack Obama. This kind of slash and burn politics is sickening. The fact either Hillary, her husband or campaign can make these kind of statements and go unchecked, by the media, and the DNC is astounding to my mind. It is obvious that if Hillary Clinton doesn't get the democratic nomination, she is going make sure Barack Obama doesn't, so she is aiding and abetting the republicans. I never trusted her before and now the democratic party shouldn't either. She is a selfish, spoiled, divisive, rich, hypocrite, who needs to now fade out the picture for good now. Hillary Clinton and her campaign is a disgrace to american politics, the mafia, terrorist, anarchist, racist and every gang member in america has a true idol to worship and use as a model. I would never vote for a joint ticket for president with Hillary Clinton on it. She is the epitome of special interest, division, partinship, the well connected, lobbyst, and sound bite politics.

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS!!! FOR HILLARY!

Ms Pelosi
The so-called dream ticket did not grip us. This is something that the press made a big deal about. I strongly feel that McCain will make a better Commander than Obama. This is not about electing a Democrat or Republican but who is the best man or woman to be President. Obama will divide this country further, what has he done on Congress to reach accross the aisle?

From my perspective, Clinton P, Obama VP would be unbeatable against McCain. Would be good for Obama as a set up for his ultimate run 8 years later. Then we get our first women and first black. Good all around.

a worrd of intelligence is spoken, so rare and yet so needed, thank you Ms. Pelosi

Of course Pelosi will side with Obama……

Madame Speaker doesn't sound so impressive anymore once we have Madame President………

I agree! The idea had crossed my mind–before her "kitchen sink" and scorched earth strategies. No matter, the joint ticket idea is obviously just a political ploy by the Clinton's to win the support of undecided voters, and in the unlikely event that she prevails, to woo the votes of Obama supporters in the general election. It might have resonated with me if Hillary had not gone so far negative.

It's the same old partisan underhanded politics – it's okay to vote for me because I am implying that I will choose him to be my VP – then she picks someone else later and uses the rouse of her advisors compelled her to choose someone else. From this candidate I would not believe it even if it was put in writing. I thought she wanted to debate the issues, but for the last few weeks it is one attack from a surrogate after another that is getting most of the coverage. Before it was Bill, today it is Ferraro, tomorrow someone else. Like I said, same old partisan politics. I support Obama because he knows that the founders did not create a system in America completely like the partisan methodology of the British parliament where the goal of the contest is who will dominate policy making. Our party system was supposed to be a system for debate, compromise, and consensus – maybe Ms. Ferraro needs to brush up on that.

I couldn't agree more.

Clinton thinks that she can try and destroy Obama and then jump onto his team afterward.

She isn't having a good spirited campaign against him, she is trying going way beyond that.

The media also needs to note the notion that she thinks he would make an ineffectual leader and isn't ready for president, but is somehow ready to be Vice President. You need to be qualified to be President if you are going to be Vice President.

She is giving conflicting ideas about Obama here.

Nancy Pelosi is an idiot! Isn't she the back stabbing little wench who went behind the governments back and did her own little unauthorized tour to consult with our enemies. Obama can keep this traitor and power hungry woman, who as the head of the democrats has done nothing since she was elected. She is useless.

Perhaps the dream ticket should be Hillary and Spitzer, both from New York

The Billary Clintons are ready to destroy the democratic party for their selfish and self serving interest in winning the nomination by hook or crook.
Billary thinks the democratic nomination is her BIRTH RIGHT and now that she is a SORE LOSEEEER, she is ready to throw the democratic party and Obama under the bus with her "kitchen sink" smear campaign strategy.

Glad Nancy Pelosi is calling her on it!!!

Democrats should be OUTRAGED at the Clintons for implying that Republican John McCain would make a better commander-in-chief than Obama!

SHAME ON BILLARY!!!!

HRC is never going to be President. If she is the nominee she will galvanize the Republican base and McCain will benefit greatly. Many Obama supporters will sit on their hands, or vote for Nader, or vote for McCain.

Mrs. Clinton is on track to play Nader's role in the 2000 election.

No reasonalbe person would want to match up with a candidate such as Hillary Clinton that has been the center of controversey since Arkansas days and the whitehouse years of former president Bill Clinton. This week she has the nerve to suggest that Senator Obama be her VP. Last time I checked he is leading her in delegates. She needs him more than he needs her. I suspect he is leading her in the contest because she lacks organizational skill- look how her campaign is being run. He's right about her lack of judgement. She miscalculated her run for the presidency by just planning for the short term. Hillary reminds me of George Bush do something now and worry about the consequences later. In otherwords do whatever it takes to come out on top. We don't need a combination of Clinton/Bush mentality in the Whitehouse.

What is impossible is PELOSI getting re-elected again.

She has fialed at her job and her and the rest of the United States Congress are mostly crooks.

This woman and congress have the worst approval rating in U.S. History.

I hope you pull this up Pelosi to see what people are saying about you.

Because the word is out, your a failure and will be removed from office in the nxt vote goaround.

In the words of Doanld Trump.

YOUR FIRED…………………………………

This wouldn't a good idea. Hillary has thrown the so called kitchen sink and it hit nothing. She has to to understand that the country is not in to thrown your sink garbage anymore we are looking for change and she has not.

Stobie
Belle Glade, Fl

She's telling the truth and she's totally right because Sen. H. Clinton trying to confuse certain Democrats. Now it's clear to understand that Sen. H Clinton can say anything just to win the primary.

Can Hillary just please go away now?? I've always liked both her & Bill, but they are both starting to get on my nerves now.

And also, thank you Nancy Pelosi! I am so sick and tired of hearing about this "dream ticket" I could just scream.

She should have spoken up along time ago about all this dirty campaigning. HIllary is a witch, monster, whatever. I wish she would just quit.

I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence but tell me something, if you think that a man is not ready to be a president, why in god's name do you think he can be vice-president?? That makes no sense! Zero Sense…none at all! You people sit and talk about race and ignore the real issues! She sit and blast the man…talk about how he has no experience then she invites him to run hand in hand with her? now tell me…if Mrs. Clinton didn't think that Obama is the man to bring about change, do u think she would really want him on a ticket with her? Ask yourselves this question!

I feel sorry for America…… snap out of it!
obama 08!

I am glad that Nancy recognized Clinton's comment about John McCann being a more qualified president was inappropriate. Maybe us as everyday democratics may not exhibit party loyalty, but experienced politicians like Clinton should definitely commit to party loyalty. She exhibited bad judgement to make such a comment. Her democratic peers, the superdelegates may very well remember this when it comes time to cast votes.

I think that Hillary benifited because she was willing to try and that shows that she is more experienced and wise. Obama is so bent on making Hillary look bad and rallying up negative attitudes toward Clinton that it is making him look bad to a lot of democrats. So, in this way, it does benefit Hillary.

She never states why… but I agree with her. Hillary represents the politcs of old. She has harshly criticized Barack for multiple things ranging from being inexperienced, no substance, and just speeches. She has even been rumored as leaking the photos of Obama in native clothing in a fear mongering attempt. Hillary has been very divisive in her campaign, and as a result I don't ever seen Obama and Hillary getting along together.

After all this dirty campaigning, I don't see how Obama, who represents the politcs of new, could ever team up with the very same politicians that he claims are ruining this country.

Hopefully this means that Pelosi understands & agrees w/ other old-school Democrats like Gary Hart that Clinton was way out of line
to place McCain above Obama. Clinton said a grizzled, old guy who kisses up to Bush and Rev. Hagee in the same week is better than Obama.

Off with her head.

I am glad there are still some smart ones left in the Party. Thank you, Ms. Pelosi!

Pelosi for Obama!!!! Thanks Nancy!

By the way, she is the most powerful woman in politics today. and can cick Hillary's butt anyday!

Well… there's no surprise that Pelosi is an 'uncommitted' superdelegate. That also sums up her career for the last 5 years or so.

The only person who would need a joint ticket is Clinton because she realizes there are not enough uneducated voters she can brainwash with her racist and desperate tactics.
Obama – Clinton is like a rabid dog attacking everything you do or say or stand for – EVEN YOUR VOTERS. please put her out of her misery

Uncommitted but not exactly backing up or helping Hillary. Fine by me. Go Obama! Let's vote our Hopes not our fears.

Let me help you here. The dream ticket is Obama/Biden…and not just for the democrats – for the country. This ticket gives us the change we need, the courage to pursue it, the wisdom to make it right and the experience to get it done. I'm not any kind of activist, but I WILL be for OBAMA/BIDEN '08!

Msl Pelosi is to be commanded. Hillary Clinton is no match for Sen Obama. His message is too unique and inspiring for the nation.

The fact that she says it's impossible most likely proves that it's a bad idea as her judgment on most things (impeachment) has been terribly wrong.

Thank You Nancy Pelosi! Maybe the only sane voice of reason in the Democratic party. She knows that Hillary Clinton has written all of the attack ads for the Republicans in the fall election. She might be a good VP for Obama !

She's officially neutral, but she does support Obama, because she has said whoever has the most pledged delegates (Obama) should get the nomination.

Who cares what Pelosi has to say…even if this is true. What has she done as Speaker of the House?

That is a brilliant observation, Pelosi.

I am so glad you were able to pick that out of the sub-text of Obamas speech on Monday.

I agree that it is an impossible ticket. Four weeks ago I would have been all for this but I can't stomach Hillary Clinton.

Obama 08!

Kudos to Nancy Pelosi for being objective and speaking the truth. No way could Senator Obama allow Hillary on his ticket as she would doom it to failure as she has her disgusting campaign of lies and deceit.

FACTS:
Obama has more pledged delegates.
Obama has more total delegates.
Obama has won more states.
Obama has gotten many more votes.
Obama's wins count!
Obama won ALL 11 primaries in February.
Obama will have won more delegates and more states in March.

And now? Hillary's campaign has gone negative and now even racial.

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON!

If there was fairness in the media, there would be calls for the junior Senator from NY (who's been involved in her own family sex scandals way too often!) to get out of the race. This is shameful to the Democratic party and SHAME ON VOTERS who continue to buy this candidates lies and distortions.

ENOUGH ALREADY.

A joint ticket will never work, however the biggest problem will be to get all the dem. voters to back the nominee. Obama supporters do not want to admit that their decision is highly being based on the fact the Obama is the first black candidate and not much else. I would vote for a black candidate if I thought he was the right person to fill the spot of the Presidency. All the young people that are supporting Obama are just wantng a black candidate and not looking at the reality of his lack of experience. The dem. party should have put up a more viable black candidate instead of a good speaker and crowd pleaser. He does well right now with that kind of forum, but he will fail as leader of the free world, and we just cannot make that mistake because our world is in too much trouble.

Clealy Clinton is not making fellow democrats very happy with her little crusade to drag the party through the mud in her divisive quest for power. Good luck attracting superdelegates at the convention, Hillary… if you make it that far.

C'mon democrats, let's sever the Clintons' stranglehold on our party! Cut this nasty, vindictive power-hungry duo loose once and for all!

I think the Speaker is right on this one. I think it is hypocratical for one democratic to make an effective endorsement of a Republican over another Democrat. This is even critical when Democrat being redicule as a real chance of being the party's nominee.

Of all the things I heard over this extended process, the statement by Hillary about MCcain being ready over Barack tops the list. I will change by party affiliation from Democratic to Republican if Hillary is the nominee.

Hillary made it this way by turning her campaign negative. She will lose the nomination, and there is nothing Obama would gain with her as a running mate. Obama is better off a VP who has less baggage.

It's true. It would hve been possible a month ago, but Senator Clinton flushed that possibility right down her kitchen sink.

Pelosi's remarks are candid and sure.

Can she be so candid as a party leader who has also capitulated to giving Bush and Cheney a free ride (no Impeachment Hearings, letting the War go on and on) and still be candid about the necessary future of her Party? HRC is a true friend of her's, so who better to letter her know, first privately then publically, that she needs to stand down?

The future leader of the Democratic Party is Barak Obama. He'll expand the base, increase turnout, and bring a ton of districts with him on his shirt-tails. He has not only a 50-state strategy, but a vision for the future of the country and the Party. Hillary carries the last few fumes of the corporate oil era. We'll need to coin a new phrase for the new era, but Pelosi, if she's plays her cards right and is smart about it, can be on the vanguard of ushering in a new Democratic generation that can right the wrongs of GW for the next 25 years (because that's what its going to take to make the U.S. a legitimate world leader again).

Pelosi for Obama???

i don't recommend the clinton/obama or obama/clinton. if clinton would be the nominee i think there are a lot of other democrats much much better than obama. obama is just so lucky on where he is now. it is because of the media. the media had done a great job of sensationalizing him, and that's it. in case he gets the nominee what next? please, media think about it. are you american who take concern of your country?
i think clinton wouldn't also like to be the vp of obama because i think in my opinion if she wouldn't get the nominee i suggest that hillary would just lie low or do what al gore was doing. away from politics she could do nobel jobs better than anyone else in america.

CLINTON PLEASE RESIGN YOU ARE MAKING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY INTO A LAUGHINGSTOCK!!!!

Finally a superdelegate who speaks with logic to the public!

Obama '08

I believe Obama is perhaps a more diplomatic choice for American politics, and as for wars, America needs to focus on its economic problems, and as far as Mrs. Clinton goes, I just have very little faith in her as a good person. She seems to be oddly obsessed with ruining Obama's campaign, and secondly I wouldn't want a woman who isn't strong enough to keep her husband in line during his presidential run, and I sure don't want to elect a candidate who I was first keen on voting for, but during her campaign turned out to be a sour old woman. America please realize that Obama does shed light on the US and that the rest of the world would look forward and differently towards the US with him as a positive leader. GO OBAMA!!!!!!

All this joint ticket talk by Hillary is just a ploy to plant an idea that Obama is finished in the mind of voters. Obama did hip part: pointing out to all what a silly idea it is for the runner-up to offer a lesser crown to the soon-to-be king.

Wait a minute! Clinton said that McCain would make a better president than Obama??? That is astonishing!!! I mean, Clinton and Obama's policy views are virtually identical so is she saying that McCain is the best candidate period? Wow if Clinton doesn't win the nomination and supports McCain then surely it'll snow in June this year!

And if Obama is the presidential nominee, a democratic victory won't happen either. It is either Clinton vs. McSame as Bush, or we have a third Bush term with a different label. That just may be why so many Republicans crossed-over to vote for Obama in Democratic primaries and gave him a string of victories in states which will likely go Republican this November. A fox in the henhouse? An elephant in the donkey corral?

She sounds a little bitter to me.

What we see in Nancy Pelosi is a politician who is willing and ready to change the way things on done in Washington . . . witness her agreement and commitment to the stimulus package. It was the ya-yas in the Senate who started posturing and almost wrecked the whole thing. Pelosi shows great courage and I am proud that she is calling an end to the preposterous smoke screen HRC kept putting out there . . . no one was inhaling!

Democrats nationwide? I have yet to find anyone who wants an Obama-Clinton ticket. Clinton is the past — Obama is the future. Now an Obama-Pelosi ticket would be much better.

after hearing HRC's supporter/donor Ferraro's comments this morning I am appalled. When did we as women become a part of the discrimination in our society by pointing fingers at other minorities??? So what if he is black – why doesn't anyone point to the fact that the only reason HRC is so far in this race to the presidency is because SHE WAS MARRIED TO A PRESIDENT. so to all you feminists willing to add racism to your desperate venomous arsenal: put that in your pipe and smoke it. If Hillary makes it to the white house as the first female president what will you say to those who insist it was only due to her marriage to bill???
As a white female voter I will NOT stand for the hatemongering Clinton's campaign has been trying to inject into this election. Senator Obama I cannot wait to vote for you on April 22.

How did Hillary Clinton imply John McCain was better? She outright stated that point in an interview.

This is a bit of a cheap blow, I think. And distorted what Hillary said about McCain vs. Obama regarding NATIONAL SECURITY. Hillary never said that McCain would be a better president. Or did the media distort Pelosi's comment as to why she didn't think a joint ticket was possible?…

Interesting for her to make this "proclamation." Actually, its not her decision.

Your right, Nancy. Hillary can find someone much more qualified.

Shes probably right. Even though 2/3rds of the democrates polled want it – it will never see the light of day. Democrates don't seem to be pushing this race. All those Republicans helping to support Obama will disapear if he gets the nomination. they will go over to the republican nominee. After all- they are republicans

The Super Delegate need to end this nomination now. Hillary Clinton has no chance of winning. Already this morning, the Obama campaign restated the fact Hillary has no foreign policy experience and her response was personal false attacks on Obama followed by Hillary's paid supporters condoning her lies. Democrats must stop this now. It is clear Hillary can no win so she is attempting to take down the party nominee and hope she can step into the void. Please stop this before this crazed idiot, Hillary Clinton, destroys the party's chances in November.

VERY GOOD…..AM GLAD SOME BODY HAS A BACK BONE …NO AMBIGUITY…….ENOUGH IS ENOUGH …WE CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE IT BY BOTH ENDS ..AND NO BODY IS ENTITLED TO ANYTHING …..LET THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE SPEAK.

I agree with Nancy Pelosi on this. There is NO WAY they could ever be on the same ticket. Unfortunately, for Clinton, all she wants to do is make sure that she wins even at the expense of her party. Unified Democratic Party — I just don't see that the way she is running her campaign.

I'm not a Nancy Pelosi fan, but I appreciate the fact that she stated her opinion unequivocally about this joint ticket idea. I think Obama has been very clear he is not interested in the idea, and to keep bringing it up as a possibility is dirty rotten politics, and I'm glad someone with Pelosi's standing spoke out.

Hey Nancy – this just in….YOU HAVE NO SAY OVER WHO THE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CHOOSES AS HIS/HER RUNNING MATE! THAT CHOICE IS UP TO THE CANDIDATE AND THE PROSPECTIVE VP!

Please keep your comments to yourself. You are not serving any purpose here.

thats better,u can see the evil manipulator hillary is.u need to go with obama.hillary is confused and a sinking ship.
u are a wise woman.do the right thing and get on the life boat
obama 08,billary never

thank you Senator Pelosi. Thank you for saying that. I could not agree more with you.

Thank you Nancy Pelsoi! So Nancy doesn't like the idea of one Democrat candidate implying the Republican nominee is better suited to be president than the other Democratic candidate? At least she admits it! We don't like it either Nancy! I hope the other superdelegates are paying attention to this potential backstabbing situation here.

A ticket with Clinton and Obama would have been a dream ticket, but Hillary has run far to negative of a campaign and created far too much bad blood for them to be able to team up.

I Fully Concur Lady!!!

Balls in your Court now???? Why??? You're a Woman also!!!

Looks good on you…………… Women bring Babies into the World!!!

Not to an unsafe world….. Hillary's Home….

PREACH MY SISTER PREACH

She's probably right. Neither Obama nor Clinton will see themselves as vice president now. Clinton will take a back seat to no one. The real dream ticket for me is Obama/Richardson. Richardson could still be Hillary's veep too if she comes back.

Even the House Speaker is realistic!!! How can the Clintons' expect anyone to believe a joint ticket is possible after they tried to tear down Obama. This negativitiy not only made it impossible to have a joint ticket, but if the DNC doesn't step in, it may also be impossible for any democratic candidate to win in November. The Democratic Party is getting too divided!!!!!!! Howard Dean, please address this immediately!

I think it's impossible too. Personally I'd liked to see either an Obama/Edwards ticket or an Obama/Sebelius ticket.

Glad to see Pelosi has called Senator Clinton out on the comments of saying McCain is more a of a commander in chief than Obama. If that is the case then maybe Hillary needs to inform her Husband that she and McCain will be running mates in November.

And the democratic merry-go-round contines to spin.

we'll all be dizzy soon…

I would like to thank Speaker Pelosi for speaking out about this issue. The Clintons need to stop floating this ignorance around because she will never be President or Vice President. She doesn't care about Americans only her hard self interest. Just petty on Billary to think someone as intelligent as Obama would think to be her running mate when he is clearly in the lead.

Obama 08

Thank you Nancy Pelosi for putting it out there. It ain't gonna happen. No way. No how. If the nomination gets pulled out from under him, he should run for Governor of Illinois or continue in the Senate. Under no circumstances should he align with HRC. All the "little people" and 'little states" that have supported him will remember this should she be the nominee.

Donna
Los Angeles

Hillary is very cunning and this was a cheap trick that she pulled out of her 'pant suit' suggesting a 'dream ticket'. How much lower will she go for votes?

I think Nancy Pelosi needs to mind her own business. She has failed the party in not starting impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney. If ever there were two who deserved impeachment, it is them. If she wants to do that, I am with her 100% but otherwise, she needs to step back and let Clinton and Obama work these things out together.

The junior Senator from Illinois has three year's experience in government and that is not enough to be president in these trying times. One novice president has been enough to nearly bankrupt the country.

Finally, a little honesty from a politician! Who knew?!

Madam Speaker is correct! Either way it is not a dream but a nightmare! If Senator Clinton & Co. find a way to steal this nomination from Sen. Obama it will be the greatest political travesty in the history of our nation! Sen. Clinton has made it crystal clear that she feels Sen. Obama is not ready to be President and Commander-in-Chief yet she attempts to dupe voters into thinking she would select him as her running mate! THIS DEFINES DISINGENUOUS!!

If Sen. Obama were to select Sen. Clinton (AN this is NOT likely) as his running mate, she would bring baggage from the past and from her ugly conduct of this election thus draining support from Sen. Obama and rallying the REPUBLICANS against the mislabeled "dream ticket!"

Thank you Sen. Obama and Speaker Pelosi for ending this ridiculous fantasy! I am most grateful to know that Wolf Blitzer will no longer be speaking of the BAD "dream ticket!"

Guess she's not worried about winning.

Please …Now she decides for Obama and Clinton. She has been so ineffective in her position. I do not believe she should make any comment about what either of these campagins decide to do. The party is now so split and much is to blame on the weak leadership of the Democratic party for the past 4 years. Whatever anyone thinks there will have to be comprimise. A true leader would know that and keep their mouth closed in public. No one has named her as vice president material and it is not hard to understand why.

Play with matches, Sen. Clinton, you're going to get burned. Once the Clinton campaign started stumping for John McCain, it was just a matter of time before Democrats started dumping her in droves.

I believe Pelosi sees the damage the Clinton machine is causing to the party already.

I love to see the Democrats fight among themselves…

Jack,
I am a New Yorker that voted for Clinton as our senator and supported her during the White House years. Her presidential campaign has shown such an mean spirited, divisive, "slash & burn" mentality, that I would not vote for her in November no matter what happened. I believe she has conducted herself in a disgraceful manner and conducted an underhanded dirty campaign. I would also never vote for her again here in New York. As a matter of fact, I hope we can find a strong "real" New Yorker to go against her here when her term is up. Many other New Yorkers are starting to feel the same way.

As far as our convention is concerned, I am fearful that this will indeed become uglier as Clinton continues to use whatever tactics she can to take the nomination. If she starts stealing pledged delegates etc., I'm afraid we might see protests at our convention when young disillusioned voters feel the nomination was stolen from them. I do not believe that Obama supporters will vote for her in any large numbers. Would she still be competitive without them? Probably not! Are there no leaders in our party who can stop this craziness? There must be someone out there who can see this is headed down a wrong way.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO JOINT TICKET. LET EACH OF THESE PEOPLE SINK ON THEIR OWN. WE ARE DEALING WITH ENOUGH ALREADY!! WHO WANTS TO SEE PEOPLE MATCHING IN THE STREETS ????

IN MY OPINION HILLARY SHOULD EXIT GRACEFULLY NOW OR RISK BEING HATED EVEN MORE. BY THE WAY I AM A DIE HARD SUPPORTER OF HER BUT I WOULD HATE TO SEE HER USING THE SUPERDELEGATES TO OVERTURN THIS.

HILLARY IS LOSING BECAUSE SHE IS SMART. SHE IS BEING VOTED OUT BY THE REPUBLICANS/ HATERS WHO SET OUR AFTER KERRY LOST TO STOP HER. THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED.

YES! How can Hilary support a republican for president when we are trying to get them out of the white house? It shows Hilary will say anything just to get this nomination! Her own words show a lack of wisdom and judgement.
Lesson–BILARY, be slow to speak! Wise up, this is not a do or die affair. Dont be a sell out.

I agree with Pelosi on this one. There is no way Obama would want to be teaming up with Hillary and Bill after they have so negatively and personally attacked him.

Obama should pick John Edwards as his VP and this will help him carry the rural, blue collar vote and the south.

YES.

Another example of why it is obvious that Hillary is saying anything to win.

Pelosi knows a joint ticket isn't possible… Hillary knows it too.

But she is willing to fib the possibility to people in order to lure them into more votes.

its impossible

I agree. What's Hillary going to say to that? Hillary's own word are going to end her campaign. I say let this race go on and let her keep opening her fat mouth. Let all the clinton supporters see her true side. I've already heard many people who already voted for her wish they had it back now since she started opening her mouth and showing her true colors.

Pelosi is correct. There is no way Clinton can serve on a ticket, as candidate for president or vice president, with a person that she and her campaign have taken many pains to describe as unqualified. The jig is up, and the game over, on the possibility of a dream ticket. Clinton's self-obsessed, scorched-earth policy has made that certain.

"may have gripped the imaginations of Democrats nationwide"

which Democrats? Hillary Clinton is running primarily for herself, and secondarily for John McCain. Anyone with more than a 6th-grade education should know Obama would never join a Hillary Clinton ticket. It is a sure-loser versus McCain, and would basically fly in the face of everything Obama has spoken for. Conversely, Hillary as Obama's veep would hurt, not help his ticket.

Both of these candidates need to get over themsleves. They have one mission and that is to regain the White House and turn it into a place of honor once again.

Just how they do this? Work together for the good of America. We now have evil people trying to distroy our country from within. Good people with our best interest at heart must take control.

They both are good. They need to do the right thing.

Nancy, this should be your mission to combine them into one unbeatable ticket for us. Don't ever tell us "impossible".

I prefer one over the other, but combined as a team? My vote is guaranteed.

Finally, let's put this one to rest.
How does Hillary get on the ticket now without a party implosion?

It's called a dream ticket because Hillary's dreaming if she thinks she can win.

She is such an idiot. The more she speaks the more I can't believe she's third in line to the Presidency.

At least she knows that this whole thing is a mess. There have been too many mistakes by the DNC. The primary will be settled in court. We all loose.

Thank God someone in this world can still think.

I dont know how the media can take Hillary seriously. If she did not have Clinton name attached to her name, nobody would be listening to her. But because of her hubby, she can throw the most illogical argument and people will be begging for more.

Stop this madness already and send the clintons home so the party can unite around a common purpose. Enough is enough.

Yes…it's impossible….

This woman is really intelligent..I think she would make a better VP than Clinton…

At least she is a realist about the so called dream ticket. I think probably because it would be a three person ticket than just a two person ticket. Hillary would not be second to Obama after all she has said about him, and he would not want to be second to her and Bill. Besides it looks as if she is setting him up for a lose in November if she does not get the nomination.

Looks like the superdelegates know Hillary has divided the party just cannot bluntly say so. Hillary is divisive and disrespectful, then expects someone to team up with her. In Bill's words, Give me a break.

Nancy is right…. The possibility of a joint ticket dissolved when Sen Clinton began her negative attacks. At that point it became clear to me that she cared more about winning the white house for herself than serving the country. Her priorities are very clear now, and after her many attempts to diminish Sen. Obama's candidacy, a uniting of these two candidates would not be beieveable.

Obama And Pelosi

MCcain and Hillary

thank you — the highest ranking democrat puts the issue to rest — it was nothing more than dirty politics, another attempt by the clinton's to manipulate their followers.

I think Hillary was indirectly asking Obama if she could be his running mate I think she's going to vote for Obama! I know Bill is!!!!!

Yesss, You go "Girl".

As long as the black population of this country make it a point to try and make a statement by voting the way they have there is no way a so called "joint venture" can be accomplished.
They have skewered this election process by making it a race contest instead of a who is the best. That is obvious by the voting so far and Mississippi will be no different. Watch and see..80 to 90 % of the black vote will go to Obama because and strictly because he is black. NO OTHER reason.
As it stands right now the popular vote is for Clinton and if Obama gets the nomination then McCain will be President.
America was stupid 7 years ago and now the stupid factor along with the race issue will once again skewer the election…
Looks like instead of coming together, we are once again involving race as the number one factor..SHAME ON THOSE WHO VOTE BY RACE ALONE!!
We will still stay divided as a nation if this keeps up….

THERE ARE TOO MANY HILLARY HATERS INCLUDING WOMEN WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HILLARY'S SUPPORT BASE.

THIS IS THE REASON AM VOTING FOR HILLARY BECOS SHE IS BEING UNFAIRLY TARGETED.

Thanks Madame Speaker!

Perfectly neutral and quite honest way of pointing out how pathetic the Clinton call for a dream ticket actually is–and that it's just strategy. Everyone knows it would never work for a variety of reasons (I'm sure everyone will kindly – or unkindly – point out here on this comment reel) and this is compelling evidence to prove that Hill and Bill are dirty and will always be dirty and will say what it takes to get the little folks to fall for their rhetoric. THEY are just words, folks.

First intelligent thing she's ever said! Now if she'll just back the right horse.

Only Hillary Supporters cannot see what Hillary is doing to the Party

Thank you Senator Pelosi. I have lots of respect for you and your career and family, your honesty , integrity and your work on behalf of the people not only of CA but this country.
I hope that something like Obama Pelossi might sound better……….
I think many of us women would strongly support that, well I least I would.

To the Obama supporters:

Here in Illinois Gov Rod Blagojevich is still under investigation by Patrick Fritzgerald for corruption and he have not been release from this investigation.

In rezko trial the ILL Gov. Blagojevich is " Public Official A."

So there may be an indictement of Gov. Rod Blagojevich as well. He also have a low approval rating and he also have alot of political enemies. What irony!

The Media is not going to tell you this. Just google Gov. Rod Blagojevich name.

Also, he is a obama superdelegate.

You can't make this stuff up.

Is she the deciding factor?

Thank you speaker Pelosi for your remarks. Please do the right thing and help end the disgrace the the Clintons are trying to bring on you party.

Some Democratic "leaders" need to actually start leading. Pelosi's comments are a step in right direction. The scorched-earth tactics of Hillary will destroy the party. At this point, it's hard to determine who Hillary is even doing this for.

She's not doing it for the Party (stating McCain would be a better commander in cheif than Obama?), she's not doing it for the voters (suggesting she would seek to convert delegates pledged to Obama and that "super" delegates should overturn the will of the voters), she is quite simply doing this for herself.

Democratic Party leaders need to realize this and put an end to it.

This stupid Pelosi is just an attacking dog. The only thing she can do is just jealous!

Go away! and shut up!

2008 Hillary

Pelosi sticking up for Obama?

Why I Care About Billary's Taxes

I care because once again, they think they are ABOVE the people. Hillary still has not turned in her taxes for 2006–other Americans have.

The rules state that if you are running for the presidency, not a coronation, you have to turn in your taxes. Obama, and McCain have turned in theirs–where is hers.

Miss take-your-taxes-and-shove-it Hillary will turn them in at the very last minute (meaning when I've sucked every vote out of the American people, who I don't really care about), when it benefits her.

Wake up Americans the Clintons have left their stench on this election long enough. Send her packing, along with her secret taxes.

So Nancy is right, a joint ticket would be impossible, because Hillary is not the person to attach your wagon.

This is sooo true. How does Billary expect Obama to become her running mate if he is "not yet qualifed" to be president. In case you forgot Billary, VP is the president's successor in an emergency!!!!!

I am so glad that Pelosi, like Obama, has stated that a joint Obama-Clinton ticket is not in the cards. Hillary Clinton has decided to destroy the democratic party if she is not the nominee with her comments that endorsed McCain over Obama. Shame on Hillary.

I hope all the superdelegates see this action of Hillary for the self-serving move that it was and nominate Obama. The people have picked Obama and now it is time for us to formally make Barack Obama our democratic nominee and get this show on the road. We have an election to win!

Thank you, Nancy Pelosi.

Senator Clintion, please drop it. And please don't use Obama's refusal to be your VP as another diss in your stump speech. He's not the only one that sees the manipulation.

The wall has cracked and the lizards are coming in….
Hillary has destroyed the Democratic party, she really has. Why would she say that McCain would make a better C-in-C than a fellow democrat? Why?
I guess HRC meant, if I can't have then I had better make sure no democrat get it…so that I can have a chance to run again in 4 years time.
Shame on HillBilly

Nancy is not happy with Hillary's comments!

I am so glad that Pelosi, like Obama, has admitted that a joint Obama-Clinton ticket is not in the cards. Hillary Clinton has decided to destroy the democratic party if she is not the nominee with her comments that endorsed McCain over Obama. ]

I hope all the superdelegates see this action of Hillary for the self-serving move it was and nominate Obama. The people have picked Obama and now it is time for us to formally make him Obama nominee and get this show on the road.

There goes Hillary's last chance. Funny hwo quickly the Dems have turned on their "golden couple".

Finally someone smart enough besides me, to know that it will never happen!!!

Go to Obama, Pelosi!

Finally, somebody has the balls to admit where this thing went south. Hillary should have never gone negative, if the Democrats lose in November it is Hillary's fault.
