Pelosi is correct, the "dream ticket is just a dream". Hillary-supporters and the american public overall, either forget or just don't know that Hillary was a REPUBLICAN in her early years. There is a reason why Hillary says she has 35 years of experience and the fighting mantra at age 61. If you further back beyond 35 years, say another 5 to 10 years, you will discover Hillary was a Young Republican in high school, college and early law school years until she met Bill Clinton.

Hillary supported Barry Goldwater (Republican) for President back 1964. Yes the same, Barry Goldwater who was against the Voting Rights act of 1965! Even McCain speaks fondly of Goldwater, so can see the amirable relationship Hillary and McCain enjoy.

Did Govenor Rendell of Pennsylvania say that noone would elect a BLACK President? I heard that he made this comment on one of the other major news stations. He was the head of DNC prior to being govenor so I hope this was an error by the media. To say something like that is worse than Ferraro's comments. I will have to do some research.

Obama/Bloomberg '08. Believe it or not, This will be a dream ticket.

I've been watching this election process closely and all I can say at this point is. .."I see your true colours." The GREAT United States of America, leader of the "free world", in 2008 hacking their Presidential Candidates to death based, such important distinctions as, age, gender, race and economic status.

CNN!!!

Where is the story about Obama's mentor???

Shame on you CNN!!!

Obama / Edwards
Obama / Webb

If Hillary Clinton is anywhere NEAR the ticket, I will cast my vote for John McCain or even (God help us) Ralph Nader.

Shut up Ms. Peolsi and get back to work, or better start doing some work. You've been a party failure! So you're the only woman who gets to hold high office in WA.? You need a muzzle. Recent articles have Obama saying it's a possibliity. But he may be a congential liar so I can't say I believe him.

It's simple. All Obama has to do is win Pennsylvania. Can he do it? Can he put Senator Clinton away?

If Pennsylvania goes to Clinton, then it's obvious that there's a lot of Democrats out there that want Hillary to stay in!!! But Senator Obama can wash all that away – just win Pennsylvania!!! Pennsylvania is a closed primary to democrats only. If Obama can't win there, then why should anyone expect Senator Clinton to drop out?

Clinton/Richardson

Clinton/Biden

Clinton/Edwards

Doesn't matter – either way, Clinton is at the top of the ticket.

If Democratic voters want them on the same ticket, then they should be on the same ticket. What is Pelosi thinking? She needs to stop making these divisive comments.

And to the Democrats out there who wouldn't vote for a Clinton-Obama ticket, perhaps they should think about what it will be like to live in a country where women go to jail for having an abortion, where there are no anti-trust laws, where schools are resegregated, where we have perpetual war… Think about it. Your personal feelings about the candidate don't matter in the end. We just need a Democrat who will impliment the party's values and keep the supreme court from becoming an asylum for legal nut cases!

I agree HPBoston, there is still a long ways to go, but it doesn't change the fact that she should at least be leading before trying to offer the vice presidency to someone.

Patrick,

Your comments are wrong and you are not a TRUE DEMOCRAT!!

African Americans are now supporting OBAMA in large numbers because of the following reasons:

Most Latino's said that will not vote for OBAMA because he is BLACK!!

Most Southern and low income whites like you said they simply will not vote for a BLACK Man.

They are telling people that BEING BLACK IS A PROBLEM in AMERICA!

However, you want BLACKS to not vote for him!! Well I have news for you and others like you, WE WILL NOT ABANDON OBAMA!!! Some one has to STAND STRONG FOR CHANGE!! I'm sorry that you will not be!!

Why doesn't CNN every post my comment? I wonder? Lets see if they have the guts to post this! Shes speaking the truth…HRC basically bashing Obama so she could be elected and because of that…there is no way in h*ll that there could be a dream ticket!!!! Way to go HRC…now she needs to go before more damage is done!!! Thanks for speaking the truth Speaker Pelosi.

OBAMA ONLY HAS A VOICE BUT NO REASON!!!! A LIGHTWEIGHT IN THE LIKES OF BUSHLITE!!!

why does this woman come across as being a smiling phoney?

Why doesn't CNN every post my comment? I wonder? Lets see if they have the guts to post this! Shes speaking the truth…HRC basically bashing Obama so she could be elected and because of that…there is no way in h*ll that there could be a dream ticket!!!! Way to go HRC…now she needs to go before more damage is done!!! Thanks for speaking about Speaker Pelosi.

Russia strongly supports Obama!
Go Obama!

Fact: Obama is a BLACK male, intelligent/educated , talented senator from Illinois.
Fact: Hillary is a WHITE female , intelligent/educated, talented senator from New York
Fact: I'm not racist for stating these facts.
Fiction: Hillary-Obama or Obama-ticket.

Why would someone as inspiring as Senator Obama would want to have someone as divisive as Clinton on his ticket?

Hillary is a republican! She ENDORSED John MC Cain. Nancy is right. she belong to the MC Cain/Clinton ticket.

It's nice to see that such blatant attempts at spin and media narrative manipulation are backfiring, no matter who it's coming from. Clinton was basically asking Obama to throw the election, which is both stupid and insulting.

An Obama/Pelosi ticket would never happen. Being Speaker is a pretty comfortable gig and probably a more effective position for shaping policy than VP.

Patrick,

We all African Americans don't think alike, but most voted for skin color as you said. At least, I voted for the issue (substance). Hillary 08!!!!

Why is Pelosi even talking? Obama's own senior foreign policy adviser , Susan Rice, said Obama wasn't ready to answer that 3 a.m. call.

And while people are apologizing
Now General McPeak needs to apologize for saying that Obama is a better commander-in-chief because he doesn't "go on television and have crying fits?" That's the gender card. Men can well up and be "sensitive" but a woman can't show a tear. Obama–reject and denounce this man–and then apologize.

Although it's a good thing to add to Obama's resume–doesn't cry on TV. That really rounds it out.

Steny Hoyer for Speaker! This imbecile has got to go.

Patrick!

You're an idiot!1

At first I thought no one could be that limited in their thinking then I remembered,

"Yes they can!"

The Clinton Years Memory Quiz:
Who remembers Jennifer Flowers et al?
Who remembers Monica Lewinski?
Who remembers White Water?
Who remembers "I did not have sexual relations with that women?"
Who remembers the definition of "it?"
Who remembers impeachment procedings?
Who remembers a pardon to a corrupt high rolling Clinto campaign contributor? On and on and on.
Oh yea, let's do that again!!!

talk about the dream ticket?
The new dream ticket is McCain-Hillary

My guess is that its going to be a McCain/Bush (Jeb) ticket….just to keep the family in power.

clinton is too divisive,Madam speaker pls move on with the good job

Obama is winning this thing fair and square. More states. More delegates. More popular vote.

I wish Hilliary would just drop out! She is dragging the party down with her divisive, kitchen sink tactics. Americans have Clinton fatigue.

No matter what McCain and Hilliary supporters say: People want change!

Prediction: Obama/woman VP such as Kansas Governor Selebius will help unify dem party. Landslide win in November!

As usual it is better pelosi keeps her mouth shut
Democrats would be better off!

I am glad Pelosi talked about Hillary comparing Obama is not ready as commander in chief, only her and McCain while none of the Demoract leaders stand up for that remark. I don't like Pelosi, but I give an A+ to her.

I will never vote for Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton. I will vote for McCain if Clintons get nomination and I am not alone in this decision.

Hillary portrays herself as victim to get sympathy from women alike.
I am a female.

I will never vote for Obama/ Clinton ticket ..

I am supporting Obama but I just do not trust Clinton..

Who knows Obama will be dead in a month and she be the President…I cant take that risk…SORRY

If OH-bama is on ANY ticket alot of us will be voting for McCain. Watch Obama's ""pastor" – if you can call him that " – spew his hatred toward whites and this country on the latest videos

That man is NOT a man of God and Obama has been influenced by him for "over 20 years. " Now I can see where Michelle "pickles" Obama gets her anger …

We don't need these "3″ in the White House !!!!

With all due respect Sen Obama your Sr advisor even said that you were not ready to be Commander of Chief .!!!!!!!!

Obama also won Texas!

Black people don't share a brain. contrary to popular society who thinks they can tell us why we are voting for whom.

It seems like popular society always pulls out that shared brain of theirs when they try to peg us.

The black candidate isn't even black. He's half and half.

Well , typical small minded female jealousy .. Poor Mrs Pelosi you will soon lose your place as the hightest DP female leader to Hillary .. Just sit tight and take it gracefully..

Many comments show people don't even know how their gov't works. Pelosi, (excluding Oprah) is the most powerful woman in the world. She is #3 after President/VP it's her. Her position makes he also the most powerful democrat. No one had to die for her to say this, she is 'Da Man'.

She is showing real leadership with these statements.

If only Howard Dean could follow her lead & grow a pair.

If Clinton tries one more major I'm sure Pelosi will be endorsing Obama.

now we all know she is exactly right.there's no argument there.we hear clinton sayin it over and over.

Pelosi's comments strike me as odd–perhaps she is hoping to be on the ticket with Obama. The race is far from over so why the need to make the same statement twice in one week?

Any of these three work for me: Clinton/Edwards, Clinton/Biden, or Clinton/Obama.

Anyone who thought they would be on the same ticket is foolish. This is just another case of Clinton trying to manipulate the press and creating sound bites because she knows most of the voting population is uninformed. She is a master manipulator.

Did anyone happen to hear her on NPR this morning? If you really listen to her, you realize she never answers ONE question. She straddles every question. I just don't get what people see in her…it's sad really…

stupid speaker

Annamica, "I don't want Obama anywhere near a Clinton ticket. He is the embodiment of hypocrisy, but I do believe Pelosi will come to eat her words".

Annamica, the only ticket Clinton has is the one to go back to New York, there is no dem nomination for her. Even the super delegates can't stand her anymore.

What's wrong with this woman–Pelosi!

She thinks she is God! Actually she is just evil!

2008 Hillary!

To Sylvia:

Recent Obama's behavior towards Hillary is bad????

Am I missing something?

Am I in some other world?

Enlighten me….

WE AS AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT RACIST BUT APPARENTLY YOU RE PATRICK. GET A CLUE. LOSER

Hi, Guys, I don't like her, I'll choose a black girl, like my wife…

There won't be an Obama-anyone tickets now thanks to his racist minister. Interesting this story isn't on CNN.

While I completely agree with Pelosi, I can't help but wonder….

Does she know something we don't know????

Silvia, admit it; you were voting for McCain anyway. It's only a matter of time before your home is up for forclosure. Repub created this RECESSION, now the Dems have to clean it up. If you were a true Dem, you wouldn't care if HRC or OBAMA wins; you woud vote for the DEMS.

Sorry, I meant "can't resort" in the last posting.

OBAMA PELOSI ,thats what she is after.

Pelosi does not want any women to be i n ahigher position than her.

Get real Poolosi.

she is out left field!!

Obama and Jon Paul are right ticket — one on the left most and one on the right most.

Nancy should step aside, and let the voters decide. The whole idea is to beat the republicans. These remarks only divide us, it does not unite democrats. (I call both candidates as democrats)

If we can not unite all democrats, McCain will win.Another 4 years of the Bush politics. Lets unite, somehow, and regain the white house.

Hillary Clinton: Scorced Earth.

I am glad she said no because I will not vote for anyone with Obama on the ticket.

Thank you Pelosi for pointing that out. Hillary has jeopardizes her own party and has giving McCain more clue to use against the democrat during the general election. Americans and the rest of the world 're watching you and Bill, doubled faces, hypocrisys and liars.

Repubs have been voting in Demo primaries for Obama because he would lose to McCain when the REAL election takes place when those same Repubs vote for McCain. Sneaky Repubs!

Catfight !

I guess Obama has to wait 8 years to run again. He should jump on board as Hillary's VP.

Yes I wan't Hillary to choose, the way she wants to go.

Not the way the Dems are using her. She is not a Guaranteed second p[lace loser just to please the Blacks, and pull in the extra votes for an Obama Presidency.

She should go over to Mccain and make a direct deal for some joint Agreement.
Then Dump Obam on his rear…………..

Take it from someone from California, Pelosi doesn't know what she's talking about. They need to be on the same ticket regardless or either one alone will not win, Hillarys supporters such as myself will not vote for Obama alone, and Obamas supporters will not overwhelmingly switch to Hillary.

We have to keep the hope that the 2 can move bast their differences and eventually unite. If not, McCain is the winner

Pelosi has turned out to be one big let down. She's more of a politico then most of them. This is the problem when these people stay in the senate or congress year after year after year. They can't see the forest through the trees and they are no longer rebels – they are part of the political machine.

Obama and Clinton are polar opposites when it comes to character. They may have similiar voting records, but one is an inspirer and the other is a divider. One is a uniter while the other is a bully. One has integrity while the other has found ways to escape direct scandals. One had a dificult to find negative record and the other has an easy to find negative record. One is honest and one is a liar. They are not the same at all and a joint ticket would be hypocritical of character.

Bill Richardson would be an excellent VP. Great foreign policy experience, experience as a govenor running a state government, and of Latino heritage. What more could you ask for.

I heard Senator Clinton say on NPR this morning that she believed that the delegate counts in Florida and Michigan should remain as they are. Her complete lack of integrity, along with her increasing transparency is going to secure the nomination for Senator Obama. Especially if we continue to see reruns of her husband hugging on Monica Lewinski, in relation to the Spitzer scandal. Oh yeah, Spitzer was was one of her Super Delegates. Oh, the ironies of life!

Obama/Pelosi would be good Sanfranciso Mayor/Deputy Mayor
not more than that.

The best way to get Dems out of this trouble is, first of all, get rid of Pelosi and Howard Dean. They are terrible for the party. CNN, please don't bring up this lady's name AGAIN. She always looks like drunk. Have you noticed that?

An Obama-Pelosi ticket could happen. I would laugh really hard if it did happen but it's possible. Could we really have the newest and most absent Senator paired up with the leader of what will likely go down as the least productive House in history on the same ticket? I think so.

I could see it all now: "Obama/Pelosi: Change that won't likely happen." That really would be a Dream Team for McCain to run against. He could run with a feral dog as his VP and still win the election against those two clowns. Democrats already have two lousy choices this year, if either one pairs up with Pelosi, their choices will only get worse.

I am so proud of her. !!!

what about Obama/Pelosi

Go Obama…………….

Silvia, I don't get your comments about how Obama is treating Hillary. Look at NW Indepent' s comments and that will let you know how Hillary is treating Obama. Hillary is using the same "whisper" tactics that Rove is famous for. I am starting to lose a lot of respect for her. Jesse Jackson's comments aside, Obama has run a much cleaner race than HRC.

Maybe what we need is a more liberal republican. Obama is a scary man to think about having as President. of the United States.

Oh Pelosi like Dean you should shut up. Let these 2 candidates work it out themselves whomever gets the nom. They both have a huge following and the Dems. need this if they are going to win in Nov.

RJ – shut up already.

Nancy Pelosi is a perfect example of why the US can not afford to have a woman in a leadership position in government!

"So, I don't know how somebody who's in second place is offering vice presidency to the person who's in first place," he said at a campaign event in Mississippi."

Because Hillary thinks she is smarter than everyone else, which is why she will never be president.

Pelosi would better serve this country if she and the members of congress would start the impeachment process against Bush and his whole crew. This process must start in the congress not the Senate. I found that out when I called my Senators to do just that. My congressman is a republician but I called him anyway. We need some kind of sex scandal, everything else is A-OKAY.

To contrast the confident, rational comments from Obama supporters in this column against the shrill sour grapes from the Clinton backers tells me a lot about where the hope for the future of America is coming from. I live in NC and I just made up my mind to vote for Obama.

I loved what Bill Clinton did for our nation in the 90s. But Hillary is running her campaign like Karl Rove is in charge of it, and that is unacceptible to me.

"Only a hater who refuses to look at Obama's Blueprint for Change refuses to see this."

Problem is his "Blueprint" is flawed he has no foundation but the building is 300 stories high!

CAN SOMEONE please tell me why Obama now has a Icon / logo / symbol for his name??? Talk about ego and brings up images of Hitler…

I will vote for the Dream Ticket and ONLY for the Dream Ticket!!!

If the nominee is incapable of reaching out to their opponent for the sake of unity, then they will be incapable of reaching out to the Republicans for the sake of unity.

The first challenge the nominee will face is to unify the party. If their ego interferes with that and they snub the other candidate, that will be PROOF that the nominee is NOT the real deal who will lead us into the future.

Spoken like the true loser Pelosi is. She is supposed to be the leader of the Democratic party and she is the most pathetic person in politics today. Pelosi, as a life-long Democrat, you insult our party and I'm embarressed to be a Democrat because of you and Obama.

If Obama get the nominee, he should get Osama 2 b his running mate.

Everything Hillary touches becomes polarizing. Her attitude, demener, staff, husband all contribute to a negitive "I'll do it my way only" personna.

Pelosi is right!
Clinton just about endorsed John McCain by a comment she made a couple of days ago.
Hilary is dividing the party. She is like cancer, and her negativity is spreading everywhere.

DNC- save the party and kick Clinton to the curb!

Obama doesn't need Hillary. This primary has proven that she is nothing more than a big boat anchor. She needs him, he doesn't need nor has any use for her.

"There are so many dinosaurs on here that simply hate Obama just because of who he is and that is sad. Obama is offering the best judgement to lead this nation in a generation. Only a hater who refuses to look at Obama's Blueprint for Change refuses to see this. I am voting and praying for Change for this nation. Obama '08."

This is well-said.

Hillary has sung so many praises of John McCain as Commander in chief that McCain can actually evaluate the possibility of having her as his Vice-president.

Well…Pelosi got mad at Clinton about her saying Obama isn't qualified to be Commander in Chief, but McCain is. What about Obama praising Reagan and Republicans earlier on and ignoring great years of Clinton presidency?! Didn't Pelosi hear that or just she didn't want to hear it?

Doesn't matter what Pelosi says, I wouldn't vote for ANY ticket that includes Obama! Listen to his preacher's comments. Someone who has listened to that hate over the years, cannot be my president. We have had one in the White House who thought he was better than the rest of the world and look where that got us!

How the heck does AJ get his comments posted on here EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!! ALL OVER CNN???

But everyone else complains that 1 out of 20 of their comments get posted.

AJ could write about his views on hamsters and it would get posted!!!

While everyone else HOPES their comments get posted, his are on every topic everyday. WHAT A LUCKY GUY HE IS!!

why do they need to push a joint ticket? – don't clinton and obama have the strength and ability by themselves without the "star power" of the other?

FINALLY, SOMEONE SHOULD SUGGEST HILARY/MACAIN TICKET OR HILARY/Bill OR HILARY/MONICA TICKET

lol, Indepenent, you are so very very mistaken.

Clinton supporters don't just vote for a Democrat. You forget, that the majority of Clinton supporters are the Reagan Democrats. We loyalist to Clinton are not caving into this talk of Hopes and Dreams. We understand, that during this time of War, and Economic recession, we need someone with the experience, and know how, to go into Washington, and fix it. We don't want a newbie walking into this.

The majority of Clinton supporters would support McCain over Obama. reason? McCain can offer us change AND experience, just like Hillary offered us. Obama cannot offer us experience, and honestly, I doubt he can bring about change without it.

What is the point to say it again? To help Obama or help herself?
Pelosi seems to have ego problem with Clinton.

And I see it as Obama being the sneak! I don't not trust the man!

If Obama gets the Ticket, the Democrats will go down as the.

"All Black Democrats" That destroyed a Party, and disappear into Oblivion. History is being –

Made maybe, but not the way Obama thinks.

They'll never get of floor……..

Hillary,doesn't need a muslim,drug user,flip flop and liar like Husseine to b her running mate. I think there r 2 very good candidate for her to choose from, someone like General Wesley Clark or Antonio r. Villaraigosa.

I think that Barack Obama would do well to call on the Governor of Kansas for his running mate; she is intelligent, moderate, and doesn't seem to incite the kind of negative emotions that Hillary Clinton does.

Chris Mannoia

Pelosi, please shut up! Nobody wants to hear what you have to say about this anymore. The ticket that is chosen is the business of the nominee. For you to take a swipe at Clinton is out of line, and unprofessional.

Enough of the Pundits and Enough of the Politicians! Lets focus on real issues CNN and stop this garbage,

"The DNC now has an easy way out of allowing Obama forward, just include both the MI and FL votes as is in the interest of fairness."

I thought this was one of the dumbest comments I've ever read on CNN.

"I don't want Obama anywhere near a Clinton ticket. He is the embodiment of hypocrisy, but I do believe Pelosi will come to eat her words."

Then I read this even more imbecilic post.

Hillary supporters, get over it period. Obama will do just fine against McCain. The only really Hillary did well in certain states was because of the Republican vote. Obama will do just fine without you!!!

Thanks Mrs Pelosi to make that clear.. Forget it Hillary, again nice try but didn't work…

Personally, I think Obama Pelosi is the dream ticket. Best bet yet for McCain to win

It's time for a serious third party that reflects the 65% of Americans whom occupy the middle!

Unity '08!

Does anyone doubt that Pelosi wants a weaker Obama in the White House in order to increase the influence and power of her own position?

This really doesn't matter, since it will most likely be a Obama-Edwards ticket.

By the way, how does that idiot, NEVEROBAMA, get his/her comments posted? Has that person ever said anything useful?

Obama is not a uniter either. You cannot put the blame on Hillary alone. I was open to vote for Obama, but he is just as bad as the rest. I do hope that his skeletons will come out of the closet in time before he gets the nomination so that all those Obama praisers can see the truth about him.

Please the Media, the world is listening and watching. You can spin your story to favour clintons, but remember you are writing and covering for an intelligent and educted public. The CLINTON INSECERITY IS NOTICEABLE EVEN BY 1-6 YEAR OLD KIDS.

How about Hillary and Jeb Bush.

All these Cinton Haters are just ridiculous. All they want to do is spin and twist and voice their crude and rude opinions. Do us all a favor (speaking for all democratic) keep your opinions to yourself. Nobody wants to hear you bad mouth. If you want to speak, talk about the issues, or else say anyihing.

What about Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright? ABC News and FOX are reporting on this. But you're avoiding.

Easy to see why.

Perhaps Hillary is hedging her bets. Realising that she might not win, she would still like to grab a considerable slice of political power for her and Bill, by getting on the ticket any which way, even as vice-president. On the other hand, perhaps it is a bit of crude power politics, relegating Obama to second place. One never knows what people like that are up to.

Senator Obama would be fortunate to have Senator Clinton ask him to become her running mate as Vice-President. I have seen too many
campaigns in my life, and Senator Obama is making promises he can't keep. I'm just confused that the rest of this country cannot see it.

Let's face it….the media is definately baised against Senator Clinton, and according to them Obama was born in a manager.

I feel like Obama really is a xerox man, now he talk and sounds like Hillary with a solution for judgement, if you work for me I will work hard for you? and all of his preach and talk about history of US is about black people.

Who in their right mind is thinking about a joint ticket? Barack does not want fleas, so he's not going to join any ticket with Hillary.

Please don't waste our time with this nonsense. No joint ticket.

Glad she's saying this to end this. A joint ticket's a bad idea. Barack and Hillary have 2 totally different styles, philosophies and approaches to the Presidency. And, who wants Bill hanging around the edges?

Pelosi needs to go away. She failed us all. Could have easily taken down Bush-Cheney Inc. Instead we're paying $4 a gallon, and she flies on a private jet WE pay for. Please, someone vote her out of office.

Madan Speaker is quite right. I am still waiting for HRC to appologise for that comment that McCain will make a better C-in-C. It is inappropriate to make such a statement.

The whole world is watching with earnest.

Obama/Edwards. McCain/Clinton. Dobbs/Buffet

Madam Speaker is right: there is no way those two can be on the same ticket. This is sad, very sad for the Democrats, what should have been the most tremendous win for the Democrats is now circling the drain. The 2008 campaign will be remembered as the worst Crash and Burn in Dem history – bigger than 1968!

Obama once said, the Republican has a truck full of dirt waiting to pour on Hilary. Obama will be intellligent enough not to share in this heep of dirt, which he himself is cautious not to be the one to put on Hilary. Obama does not want to be part of Old Monica issue neither does the Democratic party. I thought by now the Media should have been fair enough to remind the Clintons to go home. By the way WHAT DID THE CLINTONS FOR GOODNESS SAKE FORGOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

I'm getting W-A-A-A-Y-Y tired of Obama's whining! He likes to dish it out , but when it comes to taking it, he sounds like a spoiled little brat with his "they're not being fair to me" schitick!

He talks a good game, but he sounds an awful lot like Prof. Harold Hill with his "TROUBLE! You've got TROUBLE my friends! Right here in" Washington, D.C. As far as I'm concerned he's just a flim-flam artist with a gift of gab!

Dream ticket? Barack Obama Pres./John Edwards as VP and Joe Biden as Secretary of State.

How bout a Clinton/Clinton ticket? It probably will not happen but the reality is that Bill will be the de facto VP……

In point of fact, won't Clinton's running mate be one of the dozen or so alternative personalities she has displayed in the past few months.

Go Clinton/Weepy Clinton.
Go Clinton/Angry Clinton.
Go Clinton/Racist Clinton.

Hard to believe that any thinking, breathing, rational human being would want to be VP to the Three Faces of Eve.

Amy in Iowa: I could not agree with you more. The old geezers on this blog are probably the same ones who voted for the "do-nothings" that got the U.S. to this point in the first place.

Madame Speaker knows where this is going!

OBAMA '08!!!

(With Clinton nowhere near the ticket. Take a hike, Hillary!)

I agree with Pelosi that a ticket with the two is impossible. As VP, Clinton's statement undermines Obama as chief commander for purposes of a general election. As President, Clinton's statement undermines her statement that Obama is not ready and makes her look like a leader compromising her integrity. They can't share a ticket, but I don't think Pelosi will be the VP nominee, although she would be helpful with California, it is already a democratic state. If your Obama, you should take someone who appeals to the Texas, Florida or Ohio constitutencies.

OBAMA & EDWARDS '08!!! That's the dream ticket. =-) Or OBAMA & BAYH =-)

I think that all the Obama supporters better wake up before it is too late. Michelle Obama worked for a hospital where she earned over 200,000.00 per year for working 20 hours a week. Great job right? Lets not forget to mention that she got the job 2 months after her husband was elected as a senator. this hospital turned people away if they could not pay and one man died

While I may not agree with Speaker Pelosi on what she and the democrats have done since coming into "power", I wholeheartedly agree with her position on this joint ticket nonsense.

Well said, Speaker Pelosi.

OBAMA '08 & 12 any other nominee is not an option for me.

Well at least the Clintons can't lie to the voters anymore! She actually said on NPR that she never offered him the VP position. We all heard it or read about it!

I really can't see how her supporters are letting her get away with lying all the time. Don't they have any morals?

GO HILLARY EDWARDS 08.

OBAMA IS RUNNING OUT OF RACE AND POOR ME CARDS!

Why would I want to put up with Hillary on a day to day basis

After I spit her out – she is going home to arkansaw to cook and clean for billy bob

heil obama 08

After how nasty and personal the Clinton campaign has got, I don't know why anyone would think he would consider being on the same ticket with her.

Sorry to say but DEM is already divided. IF it's NOT joint ticket, we are going to have Mccain as a president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be nice if she was worrying about her duties as Speaker of the House as she is about the dream ticket. When are her, Sen. Reid, and the White House going to take a responsible stand to secure our borders first then illegal aliens; they rather have the cart before the horse.

i've always had admiration and respect for the clintons and the statement she gave with the apoligy is how you win the people its never been a black or white thing when it comes to voting for a candidate we vote for who we feel will really make a change and make our country strong again lets not play the lesser of the evil game good look in the race and god bless. inglewood CA

What is Pelosi trying to gain by making this statement again??? Is he looking to apply for a job at Nasa Space Station? That Obama and Hillary cannot be on a joint ticket is NO 'rocket science'….

Nancy Pelosi is apparently out of touch with the Democractic voters. And her on the ticket would bring every far right-winger, moderate Republican, and independent voter out on November 4. She is reviled by so many.

Who cares what she says? It's not like Pelosi is exactly a leader of anything in actual practice. She won't even consider impeaching the worst president in the history of the country.

Well you know what they say, 'a week is a long time in politics'.
Pelosi may change her tune yet… unless of course she has a vested interest in the VP position. Crafty girl.

Pelosi is right. Clinton's dream ticket is Obama's nightmare. I can't wait for Obama to win. Instead of worring about a VP, Clinton should wonder if Bill is Client #1.

Obama 08′

Barak Obama is the most qualified for President. Hillary was "first lady," not President. Barak has shown that he is ready on day one.

Nancy's just jealous because of the possibility that another woman might be higher than her in the line of succession.

If I were her, I'd be more concerned about the Dems holding onto control of Congress. Congress, under HER leadership, has even worse approval ratings than Bush.

Pelosi doesn't want a spot on the ticket. Dick Cheney notwithstanding, Speaker of the House is a considerably more powerful position.

She's just making it clear that Clinton's recent endorsement of McCain is totally unacceptable.

Sounds like Pelosi is fishing to be the VP.

Does this woman really believe that women will support her after she criticizes Hillary?

And, she is a horrible speaker and it will really hurt womens chances of getting that spot again…way to represent Pelosi !!!

Good ! Obama can go back to doing what he does best. TALKING.
Go Hillary 2008!

I have lost all respect for Obama and will vote GOP if he wins the nomination!

Stop playing the race card and accusing everyone who doesent support you of being racist!

African AMericans have been racist voting 90% for Obama based on Identity politics!

DO ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS THINK ALIKE

OR

ARE THEY VOTING ON SKIN COLOR?

why would she say that and why now? because she likes Obama-Pelosi ticket. she is ten times worse than Hillary Clinton. either jump in early, or don't comment.

I agree that a Obama-Clinton ticket is impossible and Hillaryi s to blame for that! She has run a negative campaign in resent weeks and if she was on the ticket with Obama, she would constatly have to explain what she has said. I was hopeful that the Democratic party would be able to have this ticket, but Hillary throw the kitchen sink and it hurt us all.

NOW A NEW DREAM TICKET!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA- EDWARDS

OBAMA- RICHARDSON

OBAMA- PELOSI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHANGE is COMING!!!!

Well what does Madame Speaker propose the Democrats do, when millions of Democrats will be upset if Barack or Hillary does not appear on the ballot. Once again the DNC has managed to mess up what should be a landslide election by alienating hugh blocks of voters if "thier" candidate doesn not appear on the ballot. I've been a Democrat all my life, but it does always seem Republicans are better at getting thier party unified!!!

Obama can win the election without the Clinton party on the ticket.

Also, Obama simply doesn't need to watch his back constantly if he can help himself to keep the Clintons away from him. In addition, Hillary is just too devisive, too deceitful and too dirty old fashion politics to add any attraction to Obama's voters.

To all of the "HIllary/Edwards" nuts out there…..Have you gone mad? Do you not remember how Edwards hammered Clinton over being "status quo"? Sadly, I think Clinton is desperate enough to offer it to Edwards and I think Edwards is slimy enough to go against everything he said and accept. And then McCain's prayers will have been answered.

There is no way that Hillary Clinton would really want Obama on her ticket
Obama doesn't have the experience to be the President in the event something would happen to Clinton.

Obama/ Strickland 08. Read today's shrewd column by George Will in the Washington Post to learn why.

Pelosi is devious. She is taking things out of context and dividing the party. Shame on you, Pelosi.

I would absolutely LOVE an Obama/Pelosi ticket!!

Pelosi has no right making this comment. Who asked her opinion, anyway? I agree with Sylvia, if OBAMA wins, I am voting Republican. No one could be worse than Obama, he doesn't even know what color he is, much less how to run the country.

These people that "pressed her on the matter further" don't deserve to vote. They clearly live in some other uiniverse and therefore aren't US residents.

I believe the Democrats will have a Dream Ticket in November. I am sure that Senator Obama will find a running mate that likewise is committed to bringing change to Washington, decreasing Lobbyist influence, uniting Americans (irrespective of party) and getting out of Iraq. I think he will find someone that has Senator Clinton's obvious strengths (e.g., intelligence and legislative acumen), but who does not cary the same type of political baggage and who is not beholden to lobbyists. Obama/ ____ '08

She is the House Speaker, but her role in the party ends outside the House of Representatives door. Seriously, her role has really gone to her head.

I was shocked Hillary would even suggest such a thing. He is not qualified to be a hairs breath away from the Presidency. I can only surmise it was an attempt to unify the party. Obama has made that an impossible dream with his constant race card mentality. Everyone who opposes him is a racist. He plays the card when it benefits him. The condesending way he talks to a mostly black audience is transparent to me. They can't see it, they are blinded by the color of his skin. I can't blame them for wanting one of their own. He is not what he appears to be. He is a politician like all the rest. Jessie Jackson did not do as well because he did not have Oprah to help his campaign. Think about it?

I agree that a joint ticket with Obama and Clinton is not in the offering. Thank goodness. After all of the divisive and "kitchen sink" strategies of the Clinton campaign, it would hurt Obama's credibility to share a ticket with her. In addition, if she succeeds in stealing this nomination, he would be wiser to sit this one out and run again in four years. What I fail to understand, however, is why the superdelegates are remaining silent at the request of Hillary Clinton. They need to start stating who they are for so that this does not wind up being a brokered convention with the democratic party left in shambles.

Who made Ms. Speaker the authority on this? Why are we even talking about it. All of us can speculate on our own, but what makes her think that she can go around talking to the press like she KNOWS something the rest of us don't. I also don't believe that there is going to the an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket, but who am I to say anything when I don't know for sure how these candidates feel about being VP or having each other as VP.

Since Democrats are self-destructing… I guess Nancy Pelosi wants in on the action?

At this point it looks like the only ticket that will matter will be McCain and whomever he picks as VP. With statements like this our party will never unite. Stop the madness.

i would grudgingly vote for an Obama-Clinton ticket; i would never vote for a Clinton-Obama ticket. just one educated white male veteran's opinion!! Hillary needs to step aside instead of further damaging the party. No more dirty tactics from her big bag o'tricks. I think she's used enough.

Hilary Clinton’s apologies would have been enough, but many people see them as insincere considering that race-card was thought out as part of Hilary Clinton’s “kitchen sink strategy”. It was their game-plan to do and say anything to win the election first and apologize later. Many Americans see through their strategy and that is why she will not win the presidency if she wins the Democratic nomination.
George

CNN I am so sick and tired of you excluding my comments.

Obama and Clinton need to be a ticket to quelch this divide.

Pelosi is as clueless as Bush is in running the Democrats. Like Dean, she is trying to be important.

Sounds like Pelosi knows more than she's letting on. Maybe she's going to be on one of the tickets. Most likely Obama. A Clinton/Pelosi ticket would tank for sure.

Does she get a say?

Pelosi should not be making comments like this when both campaigns are struggling to find out who they really are.

I also find it very interesting that nowhere on this website is there mention of Obama's pastor's videos and sermons where racism clearly shows. Geraldine is a saint compared to the comments made by him.

Whose the racist now Obama??

Vote Hillary

SCBROWN…..

Jesse Jaskson JR is not an advisor is not a advisor, is not a paid staff member or leader of his Finance Committe…

Jesse Jackson Jr is a Supporter who says the same thing that all other supporters say on this blog..Get your facts right!

Hillary's strategy is if she can not win, she will help Mccain. She looks like a republican now. she is plying dirty politics.

Clinton-McCain?

Agreed. Not sure when Nancy Pelosi became the arbiter of all things Clinton and Obama, but I'm pretty sure she is really irritated to see the dem running second (Hillary) saying that the probable nominee (Barack) isn't qualified to be Commander in Chief, but saying that McCain is. I think she's trying to send a message to the Clinton campaign that the DNC/party bigwigs aren't going to stand for much more of the Clinton "kitchen sink" strategy.

There are so many dinosaurs on here that simply hate Obama just because of who he is and that is sad. Obama is offering the best judgement to lead this nation in a generation. Only a hater who refuses to look at Obama's Blueprint for Change refuses to see this. I am voting and praying for Change for this nation. Obama '08.

Scooby Doo would be a better Commander in Chief than Obama. For do-nothing Pelosi to critisize the Clintons is a disgrace. Pelosi has got to be the WORST Speaker of the House in modern history.

Matter of fact, if either your name (Pelosi) or Obama's name are on the ticket, for the first time in my voting life (since 1976) I'll vote republican!
Keep your nose out of the candidates business!

Go Madam Speaker . Good job. Hillary is a republican indisguise.

WAKE UP HILLARY SUPPORTER… SHE AND HER LITTLE GROUP IS STARTING ALL THIS….READ AND LISTEN

Why do these people insist on making up their own quotes? lalalalalala It is either Obama roolz again or Pelose must be getting senile. At least she has enough brain cells left to know the (gag) dream ticket is a bad idea.

If it isn't Clinton, McCain '08

With all due respect, I won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I've won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So, I don't know how somebody who's in second place is offering vice presidency to the person who's in first place," he said at a campaign event in Mississippi.
—
Barack honey that is only part of this race…long way to go!
You just talk your dreams and they will come!
Better slam McCain every minute as you do it so nicely and gently and with HOPE in your heart! With al due respect is so very LAME!

Sounds right. As much as I used to respect Hillary Clinton, she's more in line with John McCain (and sings praises of) than Barack Obama. If you want a real contrast with John McCain and the politics that he represents, there is no way you can have either a Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama ticket.

Thank YOU. I have been saying this from the very beginning. No matter how you spin it, it will not work. It is not that there is a deep seated problem between the two (Hillary and Barack). It is a simple fact that they are two complete different people, that although they have simular ideas their thought process are completely different. Their personalities will clash severly and that is the bottom line.
So now lets finally elect a democrate to take on John McCain.

HILLARY/EDWARDS

GO HILLARY
GO HILLARY
GO HILLARY

IF HILLARY DO NOT STOP ALL THESE NEGATIVITY NEITHER WILL HER OR OBAMA BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT. SHE IS DIVIDING THE PARTY WITH HER SNEAKY WAYS..

I WAS FOR HER BUT NOW I WILL BE SWITCHING MY SUPPORT TO OBAMA. SHE BRINGS HATE AND HE IS TRYING TO BRING PEACE AND THAT IS WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEED.

Pelosi is stupid to make these comments. Both Obama and Clinton supporters wont support the other. Even if their candidate endorses the other 'for the record' to unite the party.

What an IDIOT Pelosi is.

Have you ever loved a person deeply that has betrayed you over and over and you get to the point where you don't hate her but your feeling about her is totally dead? This is how many Americans feel about the Clintons. Since the 90's we got one scandal after another with the Clintons and we have been lied over and over by them.

I am of the opinion that Hillary is doing republicans dirty job. This may explain why 1 in 4 of her voters in Mississippi were republicans who don't intend to vote for her in November are voting for her now. I am Latino, but the Clinton will never get my vote. It is one thing to go against your opponent and another thing to say that McCain and Hillary are ready to be Commander in Chief but Obama is not. How does that help our party?

You know, former president Bush has 8 years experience as vice president and 4 years experience as president; he used the experience argument against Bill Clinton in 1992 but we voted for the Bill Clinton. I campaigned for Bill. 16 years later the Clintons are using the very same argument against a fellow democrat, Obama who will end up facing McCain in November. How can Hillary possibility bring the party together when Obama will get the nomination? You did not see republicans using this kind of destructive politics on each other.

Hillary needs him much more than he needs her. She needs his young voters, she needs to regain the black vote, she needs his independant votes and she needs his message. All she would offer him is the Democratic base which will in large part follow whoever wins the nomination and the rest could be won with a number of much less polorizing figures.
I normally don't agree with Nancy Pelosi but this time she is spot on.

Seriously it is not her place to call it. Seems she has some jealousy of her own for Hillary Clinton.

I only hope that whatever dream team emerges from this fiasco is the team that takes back the White House…Let's move forward…There's been enough moving back and standing still…Come on Democrats, you have a lot to offer…Don't blow it!

Divisive politics by Clinton has hurt the party and given Republicans an advantage.

Clinton will do anything for power. Shameful campaign by shameless people.

Hillary may really be a Republican Manchurian Candidate in disguise.

OH, I FORGOT… I WOULD VOTE FOR AN OBAMA / PELOSI TICKET. SHE IS IN THIRD PLACE (BUSH, CHENEY, PELOSI ) NOW.

I THINK SHE IS SMART, TACTFUL, TRUSTWORTHY, TRUSTWORTHY, TRUSTWORTHY, POLISHED AND SHARP!!!!!

OBAMA & PELOSI 2008!!!!

I don't want Obama anywhere near a Clinton ticket. He is the embodiment of hypocrisy, but I do believe Pelosi will come to eat her words.

Hillary 08!

I don't think these statements are forceful enough.
We really need level-headed party advocates to come out and tell Clinton that in spite of her strong support, she is just not what is right for the party.

FACTS:
The majority of Clinton supports have always and will always go to the polls for a Democrat.

The majority of Obama supports are new voters who have been energized by his message, his track record, and what he can do from day 1 in Washington, and they just aren't going to get out in the same numbers for Clinton.

A significant portion of Obama supporters are on the fence between him and McCain – Clinton can't even almost boast that (unless she wants to count people taking advice from Rush and other Republican talking heads to vote for her in hopes of keeping this contest going). These are people that McCain attracts in larger numbers the longer Clinton is in the contest and not allowing the true party visionary to connect with these crucial voters.

Democratic Party Leaders:
Get on the phone with Clinton and tell her it's just not in the cards. The longer she lets this go on, the less likely it will be that we – WE THE PEOPLE, we win in Nov.

Hey Peloski, do you think YOUR name is going to be on the ticket? If it's with Obama, you don't have a chance in hell!

And Nancy thinks anyone listens to her?

Pelosi, shut up! Both Clinton and Obama proposed their version of joint ticket. What is wrong with you?

The only job for Democrits now is which version of joint ticket that you wanted. Let do the mail-in votes by every registered Democrats in USA now.

Rush! Rush! If you don't want to have other 8 year republic party government under John McCain.

Nancy, so now is time for change, let the people remove the status quo from washington and lets change this country for the better.

clinton only wants obama on her side so she can win and get bill and monica back in the whitehouse

A dream team would be nice. No McCain to extend the war. Hey Nancy, when are you gona stand up to the Bush administration and stop say no!! You are giving him everything he wants. I hope you don't mind him tapping your phones!! You know you are the leader so act like one!!!1

I think that Pelosi should consult her crystal ball if she thinks that it will be a dream ticket without both of them on the ballot. Because then it is the Democratic party that is dreaming if they think a nominee that only appeals to half of the Democrats could ever win against the Republicans without the other half. .

Does she know something that know one else knows?

Hmmmmmm……

There will be no dream ticket this year. That is clear. There may be a nightmare outcome with a McSame as Bush victory. That is also clear, but thankfully totally avoidable with a Hillary nomination.

They are gettin lots of calls on another issue that they have to deal with. I don't see how there could be an Obama / Clinton ticket and this was something that Senaor Clinton initiated a short while back and it is coming home to roost. Denial is not a River in Egypt.

Obama's strategy isn't the one that will win.

Obama = Macro
Hillary = Micro

Hillary, by conserving her finances, has spent less money than Obama, and will lead in the popular vote when this is all said and done. She will not lead in pledged delegates, but Super Delegates will allign with her based on the popular vote.

Her strategy was far superior to Obama's. After PA and FL/MI revotes, Hillary will be the clear front runner in popular votes. Super Delegates would be stupid to go against that. It would be another Al Gore/Bush moment. Bush won presidency tho Gore got the popular vote. We all know how we took that.

Obama is a great candidate, but his strategy was flawed. Hillary played the right strategy, and will go on to be the Democratic nominee.

Obama would tarnish his reputation, for ever, no matter how he got tied with Hillary. There is no way, in my opinion, that he would jump in that dirt pit. These are the same people that are using race to frighten white voters from voting for him, and dividing our country in any way they can in order to get a vote for the queen of scandal.

In 1992, at a campaign stop at James Monroe High School's Law & Government Magnet School in L.A., then Gov. Clinton told the student audience that the choice of a vice-presidential candidate should not be based on political considerations. "I think it is important that this be perceived as sort of a non-political decision…". He critized President Bush for selecting Dan Quayle for political reasons. He also has been quoted as saying the choice should be someone who "can be a good President if something happens to Bill Clinton." (all references are from NY Times articles April/ May, 1992).

So, when Hillary and Bill Clinton suggested that Sen. Obama would make a good choice for vice-president was it,

A.) a serious lack of judgement on their parts, or

B.) an indication that they believe that Senator Obama is qualified to be president.

I don't believe there is a third option.

Gore/Obama '08. Experience and Judgement

A lady that promised change failed to deliever, and now she wants a divided democratic party over these two candidates.

She must me a republican spy haha.

Of Course there won't be.

I'm in Memphis now(almost 17yrs.) .Nancy was Rep in my old district………. I am so proud of her !!!! She truely has the concern of the party and the country on the forefront of her agenda. She has the second most powerful job in Washinton. Hillary, Boxer, and Finstien should all have taken lessons from this outstanding leader !!!! They couls learn much.

Have you seen the racist, America hating comments in the video of the preacher Obama claims in his book to be a large influence on him?
These videos couples with Mrs. Obama's comments and his alignment with Farrakhan make him pretty much unelectable in the general.
The Dems. better start thinking Hillary now for sure!
You'd think BO would have distanced himself a long time ago from these things……….or maybe not?

The DNC now has an easy way out of allowing Obama forward, just include both the MI and FL votes as is in the interest of fairness. That gives HRC enough to claim the supers without to much fuss.

Pelosi is probably right.. I'm not sure how she is so confident at this point that it's impossible, but it's probably true.

Especially if Barack gets the nomination. Hillary has way to much pride to be his VP, and she wouldnt even do it for the good of the party.

OBAMA 08!

GOOD FOR YOU NANCY. I AGREE ABOUT A NO JOINT TICKET WITH OBAMA AND CLINTON.

Go Nancy! Thank you for highlighting the Clintons' shameful remarks about Obama.

Nancy didn't rely on her husband to get to the top job in Congress. She earned it on her own!

I don't get why Pelosi is taking this hard stance against a joint ticket? Maybe she's hoping for an Obama/Pelosi ticket? Can you imagine how liberal that ticket would be? Or, maybe she's thinking the first all woman ticket of Hillary/Pelosi.

Who knows.. the only way to bring all the Democrats together (as they are quickly dividing) is to have a joint ticket. In fact, both candidates should announce now they would choose the other in order to unite all the Democratic voters. Instead, Pelosi is stating otherwise. Hard to figure.

For which, read: get ready to vote for Obama. Senior party leadership does NOT want to deal with the headache that a brokered Clinton nom would create, and it sounds like Pelosi is pretty certain it can be avoided.

To Keith Olberman:

How come Keith Olbermann didn't do a "Special Comment" about the horrible remarks that Jesse Jackson Jr made about Hillary on THEIR NETWORK?

Jesse Jackson Jr comments about Hillary not crying over DEAD Katrina victims should have gotten a "Special Comment" from Keith Olberman.

Also, there was racial overtone in his remarks.

Obama never denounce these comments and Jackson is still a high level staff member in the Obama's camp

As matter of fact, the media rarely even mention Jackson comments.

Also, did Keith do a "Special Comment" about David Axerold indirectly accusing Hillary Clinton of Bhutto's Murder?

I think even Norah O'Donnell found Jackson comments outrageous.

I am very glad that Pelosi has pointed out how Hillary basically endorsed McCain over her fellow party member Obama. Is Hillary even a real democrat? Because Hillary is surely destroying the democratic party with her kamikaze campaign.

While I also do not believe there should be a Clinton-Obama ticket or an Obama-Clinton ticket, I missed the moment when someone died and put Pelosi in charge of naming the ticket.

Peter S.

How about Obama/Pelosi?

The voice of reason.

Go Obama!

Thanks to the recent behavior of Obama toward Clinton….THIS democrat is voting REBUBLICAN if Obama is on the ticket…..no way Obama

Why does the MSM keep bringing this subject up? AN Obama/Clinton ticket would NOT be a dream ticket for anyone but the Republicans and to be honest a Clinton/Obama ticket would be worse.

Now if Ms. clinton were to win a Clinton/Biden ticket would look interesting and when Mr. Obama wins an Obama/McCluskey ticket would certainly have good momentum

Hmm…does anyone think it might be an Obama Pelosi ticket? Just a thought.

Was this trully necessary to say at this point?
Geez… I don't like her.
