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.

Go to Obama, Pelosi!

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

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

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.

Nancy is not happy with Hillary's comments!

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

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.

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!

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!!!!!

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.

Pelosi sticking up for Obama?

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

Go away! and shut up!

2008 Hillary

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.

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.

Is she the deciding factor?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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….

Yesss, You go "Girl".

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!!!!!

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.

Obama And Pelosi

MCcain and Hillary

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.

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.

Yes…it's impossible….

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

"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.

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.

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.

its impossible

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love to see the Democrats fight among themselves…

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

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.

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.

Guess she's not worried about winning.

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!"

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

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.

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?

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

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

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

we'll all be dizzy soon…

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.

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

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!

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.

PREACH MY SISTER PREACH

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….

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?…

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

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.

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.

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!

She sounds a little bitter to me.

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?

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!

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.

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!!!!!!

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

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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 !

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

Pelosi for Obama!!!! Thanks Nancy!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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'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.

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.

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…………………………………

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.

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.

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!!!!

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

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.

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.

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 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.

Of course Pelosi will side with Obama……

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

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

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.

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?

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS!!! FOR HILLARY!

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.

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…

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.

Finally…

A voice of reason!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!!

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.

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 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.

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 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

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!!!!!

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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!

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…..

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 !

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.

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.

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.

Hey obama , go win some more republican states

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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).

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

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.

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

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.

Finally someone has better sense.

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

Time to end the show for Clinton!

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.

.

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.

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!!!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

This is so true. But Obama will need the support of Clinton's supporters for November. I read my son a cartoon book
