CNN

This should be it for the Hillary supporters. I just received word from reliable sources that the FBI found out that Obama was trained personally to be a terrorist by Osama Bin Laden. When Fox News gets a hole of this story, I believe Americans will finally wise up to the man Obama. This is true, please believe me, please................ Also, it was announced that the entire news media industry mis-spoke when they said that Hillary mis-spoke about the sniper fire in Bosnia. Actually, she was in Iraq with 101st Airborne troop when they found the map to Flavor Favs apartment in the hood.

democracy requires that every person should be counted in a free choice of candidates, and not be denied by rules, that don't allow states not to be heard.

Remember the supreme courts interference in the Al Gore and George Bush contest

I did not agree to move up the primary. The republican heads of Florida did that. I just voted when I was told. My vote has not counted, and neither have the multitudes of voters just like me in Florida and Michigan. We the voters are the ones who have been ignored. If my vote is not counted by my Democratic party now, I will either vote for McCain or not at all. If the will of the voters in Florida and Michigan were counted, Hillary is in the lead in Votes and Delegates. What's the matter Obama. Are you scared? You should be. Hillary is the better option, and the if you tally the real votes, She IS the will of the people.

What about her taxes records, and where did Bill Clinton get those Millions$$$$$$$$? Why is Senator Clinton allow to break Campaign finance laws.

obama needs to drop out now for the good of the party. Hillary is our only hope of beatting MCcain.

Obama has about $31 million in the bank, and can raise much more. If Hillary Clinton steals the nomination, Obama could and should run as an independent and drain as many votes form her as he can.

things are bad enough why would any one want to elect a clinton
we all ready know that she lies !

Didn't we already rule this one out? Senator Clinton can't save Obama from himself, no one can. The guy is a cooked goose.

Fixing Fences, Now? The Arm's been done... And Obama will

Regret 2008 for the rest of his life. He's left it too Late, to get

out of the Gate... McCains 2 Furlongs clear...

Not a good idea...

She's a liability!!!!

Interesting, wasn't it Bill Clinton who floated the idea in MS that a vote for HRC is vote for BO. Now HRC is saying no way, was the comment just a lie to get votes?

Say it isn't so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cuomo obviously doesn't mind having a liar in the white house. He didn't mind having a sex maniac there either. I don't think his opinion is worth much.

Mrs. Clinton should run as a INDEPENDENT! Should could win in such a role against Senator OBama and Senator McCain.

Huuuu! The words of the elders are words of wisdom; the handwriting is already seen on the wall.

Hillary has so many political favors she has to give to large corporations. Why would Obama want to get mixed up in that?

Obama 08

OBAMA

SI SE PUEDE !!!!

Hillary is the most conservative on the Ballot
Conservative on Budget, Taxes and Family
and a Good Neighbor and Christian too
Hillary eats Health Food and Obama is a tobacco addict–what does that tell you about their real self on Health Care.

Its not that Hillary is losing because of Obama, its because NO ONE REALLY LIKES HER......DUH

Thanks Cuomo, but I could never vote for Hillary.

Obama 08

I CAN NOT and WILL NOT vote for Hillary.

She LIES and is NOT TRUSTWORTHY !

The Clintons have been involved in more scandles than all of Hollywood put together.

I will vote McMcain if Hillary is on the ticket !

I am a life long Republican, but I'm voting for Obama. If Clinton is on the same ticket with him, I'll be voting for McCain.

Bad Idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Send Hillary back to the seat she came from .
{this is mad cow desease }

Obama its "Yes We Can."
Hillary for his Vce President OMG "Just Say No "
Have had toooo many Clintons and Bushes .

Obama will not win the general. He is reaching too high too soon and will just bring the Democratic party down with him. This is a better option than the Obama's in the White House.

Hillary 08 or McCain!

Who is this man and how does he matter–what does he know? What he says is total BS and will not be backed by voters.

The party's nominee choses running-mate, an obama-billary WH will be like a triumverate.

Hillary would only be ahead if we counted florida and the other one because Barack was not on the ticket. BUT if they had a revote and barack was on the ticket it would be a lot different.

Funny how you guys always mean the woman should step down. No thanks.

"We only want Obama" says a poster here. I'm sorry, but half of us Democrats do NOT want your candidate, and most Republicans do NOT want your candidate, either.

GO HILLARY.

Obama= playing the race card

Hill-dog= playing the sex/ Bill Clinton ROCKS card

Both are socialist idiots, I would sooner pledge allegience to a steamed flounder than either one of em.

It is a much of crap if some supporters of Obama or Hillary say they will vote for McCain. If so, so be it! If they can handle four more years of Bush – so be it. As a supporter for Obama – we will take our chances! Obama would do much better with John Edwards or another southern for his VP-spot. Not Hillary -

CUOMO, whom are you supporting? SEEMS TO ME HILLARY.

NO SIR, THANK YOU

This opportunistic chameleon with a hidden agenda –Wright, Farrakhan, etc. needs to be unmasked.

Long live Hillary!!!!!

In my country (Australia), we have a saying about political parties: 'if you can't govern yourselves, you can't govern the country'. Says it all, really.

Hillary can't ever be on an Obama VP slot...She would be blamed for every "boneheaded mistake" Obama makes.

Clinton has destroyed Obama. It's Obama's life destroying himself

I would still vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win, because I don't like the connections Obama has had in his life.

You may think that obama will make agood president,but the saying
goes be very careful what you wish for.

WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!

NO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA IS NOT ELECTABLE NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!

OH NO!

DO NOT SUGGEST THAT HILLARY RUIN HER GOOD NAME TO TEAM WITH THIS LOW LIFE!!!!!!!

HE LIES AND MANIPULATES AND PAYS HIS WAY WITH OPRAHS MONEY!!!!!

HE WILL NEVER GET ELECTED!!!!

THE GOP WOULD LOVE THAT THEN THEY COULD GET RID OF BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!

NO WAY HILLARY WOULD EVER USE OBAMA FOR ANYTHING BESIDES A GARDENER!!!!!!!!

Obama for President. Fight or Die Trying. Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama 2008. The cry of the Young Generation are hear to stay. Finally...Politics that i love....Obama 2008 from ATL to Boston.

I agree Ed

Who cares about this guy either. Is he in the same glee club as 50 pennies?

She is not dropping out so get over it!

Frankly, Hillary should get top billing. I could not stomach Obama as the President first. He is smug and arrogant and I am no fan of his behavior. But I would accept this compromise so he could run in 8 years after gaining some experience.

I used to be for Hills, but now I think she sucks...if she is the nominee, I'll stay home in November

Neither will win on their own but together, they cannot be beat.

I wonder how many of Obama's supporters have the same political awarness of the new super delegate 50 cents. Very serious concern.

Not pointed at any informed Obama supporter.

Jeez, talk about your insignificants. Cuomo, please go back the geriatric home from whence you recently escaped.

I Have Two Favorite Canidates " Hillary " , And Whom Ever Is Runnig Against Obama

That's The Way This " Typical White Person is going To VOTE !!!

Best for Hillary is to ask VP position before this is over. Though Obama will sure do better off without her.

I will not vote for any ticket that has Hillary "Bosnian war hero, Nafta fighter" Clinton on it.

One word...

NO!

LONG LIVE HILLARY,,,,,,,NO OBAMA

He's right, because of the Obama backers wanting to declare Obama the winner by fiat and trying to change the rules when it comes to superdelegates, I will not vote for Obama for President.

Go read the funnies in Townhall.com. cartoons.

Don't kid yourselfs. The nominee does'nt select his v.p. The party bosses do.

Sorry–he is dreaming-
There wont be a 'dream ticket' -Clinton took care of that when she ran the 3am ad, essentially saying that McCain would be better equipped than Obama–

Obama '08

A vote for hillary is a vote for a continuation of lies lies and more lies
Obama 08

Bring change thats a joke, Rev, Write is not change its back to the old age.

Read Dreams of My father espicaily chapter 14 see the true OBAMA..
Go Hilliary all the way to the covention, its about electrols not Delegates people!!!!

After reading Obama book , I will not vote for him and the members of my family will not either.

If they force Clinton out this family of over 40 years of voting Dem will go for Mcain. The voters should have the votes count not a few telling someone to step down.

Suck it Up OBAMA!!!

DISSASTER.:
IS MALE CHOUVINISM
IS ANTIDEMOCRATIC APROACH

Bayou Joe

You mean both of them together isn't as ancient as McCain... Vote no to 100 more years of War!

Vote no to Hillary, her made up stories, and kitchen sink attacks!

OBAMA 08!

Barack Obama will win the nomination ,and all the muslims around the world will be dancing in the streets. And all of Africa will be doing their magic dance.

Clinton represents the old dirty politicians Obama campaigns to change. Besides, the Clintons are not truthworthy! It would be very stupid and dangerous to take clinton as vp! Obama will have to watch his back constantly!

This is a great Idea as long as Hillary is on Top of the ticket! As president , see can send him on long VP foreign trips , that mean nothing, to keep him out of her hair.

Hillary or NOBODY!

The Democratic's ideas sound wonderful, until you consider the national debt.

$9 trillon is $30,000 for every man, woman and child in the US. Owed to whom; the Chinese. STOP SPENDING AND MAKE GOVERNMENT AND INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBLE.

"Citizens" that are supporting Clinton now that will support McBush in November are not worthy of being called citizens. They are worthy of being called bigots.

Any ticket with Clinton on it would NEVER get my vote. The farther those people are from the Whitehouse the better.

The Clintons are in debt to the fat cats and lobbyist. Maggie how about those FSA Loans?

I would not recommend for Hillary to endorse Obama if she wants to win against president Mccain in 2012.

Obama can't win the presidential election – and he knows it but he doesn't care. HE SHOULD QUIT FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTY!!!

Hillary represents all that is wrong with America. We are racist, stupid, and broke. Want to turn this country around, then vote OBAMA!

Clinton on any ticket is for crack smokers. Obama is winning. You Hill people are crazy as loons.

Mr Cuomo's remarks show how out of touch he is with the point of this campaign. Obama's campaign is funded by "We the People" and HRC's is funded by the "$20 million plus club". It is critical that the control of the lobbyists and PAC's over the legislative agenda is brought to an end. There can be no compromise and no joint ticket. HRC is the problem that Obama has the solution for.

Come on! Any one but Obama can be president or VP!

No Obama!

Hillary 2008

The only disater is if Obama keeps staying in the race, and refusing to support Hillary ,who is clearly the right as well as best choice to be president of this great nation. We don't reed to go backward ,which is what would happen if the racist Obama became president. We need a leader with vision for Americas future. HILLARY, THE RIGHT, AND ONLY ONE.

Clinton on the democratic ticket would be a 'poison pill' for independent voters and would kill the possibility of broad support from Reagan Democrats, Perot Independants, or the like.

I thought Mario was a Democrat. His prescription is a poison pill for whoever wins. It would lead to disaster rather than a coherent approach. Let the candidates run with their own choice rather than a shot-gun choice. Like Bill says, Chill out Governor.

She had that chance squandered; and now, no way, except for McCain VP.

It's the only way I would even consider voting for Obama.

Why doesn't someone ask Obama to back out? Why can't he be VP? Too many promises for the wrong people! Obama is not the answer.

Hillary will be the next president of these United States, and all of you who just can't seem to see it coming, well then keep dreaming of Obama.. Go Hillary!!!

No Obama please , we need some democrat who can fight Republican and do some good. ENOUGH HOT AIR.
HILLARY ONLY.

Sorry, I was for this idea before I was against it.

Hillary's Great Bosnia Adventure ruined that. I say Obama/Webb, Obama/Edwards, Obama/Warner, Obama/Hagel or Obama/Bloomburg.

The only Clinton with a political future would be Chelsea.

YES thats IT. Be as STUPID as a HillaryBot and ask the guy who is leading in ALL AREAS AND COUNTS! To take a BACKSEAT to a Candidate whos approval numbers are very close to BUSH!! YEA Thats the way to go!!!

See how stupid you sound?
BTW HILLARY LOST TEXAS!! THEY JUST ANNOUNCED IT.

Love the idea! Hillary is a liar – she'll fit right in. Obama has no clue (what change is he talking about specifically????) and moreover, why does he waffle so darn much? He says one thing one day – and another the next. I think it will be a match made in heaven. Go Hillary/Obama – that's the dream ticket!

Sorry, might have been a good idea early on, but it's too late now and there is no way I will vote for a ticket with Obama anywhere on it.

Hi John Why these old people including Jack jealous when young people enjoy their life
they enjoyed let us enjoy

Hillary/Obama 08; Obama later on!

CLINTON LOST TEXAS! CLINTON LOST TEXAS!! JUST ANNOUNCED!!

NOW WARM UP SOME CROW, KEEP YOUR WORD ( yea right) AND QUIT!!

We don't want the Clinton's anywhere near the ticket. They have trouble written all over them.

When will America and the Obama supporters realize – we are behind Hillary Clinton all the way and we are becoming very disinterested in any way having Barack Obama on the ticket with Hillary. She doesn't need him. We would rather have Harold Ford, Jr. on the ticket because we like and respect him. Hillary 08

Obama/White 08..... Its time we charge a head tax

New York Gov. Mario Cuomo,

Since, Senator Hillary Clinton, is one of yours can you ask her to show use the taxes and come clean on her experience or lack of.

Can you tell us why Maggie William one of the souce of the Housing Foreclosure sources is on her is heading her campaign and she not paying her bills?

I am really tired of hearing people say Obama cannot win in the general election. The only reason he would win is because he has to worry about the Clinton fanclub switching side. Neither Hillary nor Obama can win if we democrats decide to support McCain in the general election. Either way, we are handing over one of the easiest elections a Democrat can win to the Republicans.

Full speed ahead!! Operation Chaos.

NO OBAMA, THE PUPPET!

LONG LIVE HILLARY!!!!

Barak Obama's message has been to bring change. He has inspired many young people, blacks, and even Republicans like me to believe in his message. If he ever accepted a VP under Hillary those three groups would feel totally disgusted with the entire political process. Republicans would either just not vote or vote for McCain, feeling that at least he was a free spirit...and not a Clinton. Blacks would probably just stay home as would the young people. Should that happen, what's most sad is the impact it would have on the young. We "old" folks have tended to just think of politicians, Rep. or Dem., as about the same...about as different rats and weasels. Only reluctantly have we come on board and joined with the youth of this country in thinking maybe, just maybe, it could be different;change is possible. If Obama wins the nomination, there is no reason to include Hillary. In fact, he could not include her. How could she be out on the camaign trail supporting him and his message of change in government, etc. It would be laughable. The Democrat Party has a choice...pick one...and if it's Obama, it had better be decided soon, before the Clintons destroy him.

ticket can only be Obama/Clinton not Clinton /Obama. Obam is the only winning.
Hillary accept the VP or get out...!!!

I notice a lot of people who endorsed Bush in the past are now for Obama.

I never voted for Bush... and I am for Hillary.

I think I have shown the better judgement

This election year appears to be politics as usual. Our countries challenges have never been greater. The Economy, 2 Wars, Healthcare, Social Security and Education are serious concerns.
I find what is occurring in our democratic process problematic for the voters. I have voted democrat for more years than I care to think about. I have never been so disenfranchised by my party. It would be nice if there were an easy answer as to which candidate will be representing the party come November. But a party that is trying to silence the vote is not a party I want to belong to. It is obvious that the party leaders are trying to force Hillary Clinton from the race so they do not have to deal with not counting the votes in FL and MI. If the party leaders continue to go try and push Senator Clinton from the race they will do more to disenfranchise voters than anything either one of the two candidates could possibly do. Come November I very well may be a registered Independent voting for John McCain.

No Obama.

Not a good idea-HRC is immensly disliked ! She would bring Obama down. It's only the end of March, we will have an elected Dem if not by June 3rd, soon thereafter. Selfishly hoping that Obama does receive more Super Del endorsements within th enext week or two, and closes, if not wins, PA. Go 08ama !

I had some respect for Cuomo before this... but in effect he is suggesting that we can't have a ticket without a Clinton! And Bill Clinton starts fires and then lectures on how to put them out... he is the arsonist and fire fighter at the same time. Cuomo endorse one or the other or be quiet and Bill, there is no pulpit from which you or your wife can speak and be credible or believed. Go away, do your taxes, pay your bills and count your money.

Its fine as long as the oldest more experience is at the top, if not I will not vote.

What's the point? We don't want Obama anywhere near the White House. He could become president and that would be disastrous. Hillary or McCain!

Mr. Cuomo is correct. With either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama established as the democratic nominee, with the loser tossed under the bus, a bitter and lasting division will exist within the party and Senator McCain will win easily in November. A Clinton/Obama ticket or vice versa, is the only solution to the problem facing the democratic party. As it is, neither candidate has substantively addressed the issues and, most importantly, wil appear weak on national defense. Senator McCain, also quite deficient on the issues, with gaffes galore, however, has the edge on national defense with his often exploited portrayal as a "war hero" which, like it not, works with the voters. Yes, the economy may be an issue but neither party appears, other than slogans and meaningless rhetoric, to have a grip on the matter so, once again, advantage to Senator McCain strictly on the national defense issue. Democrats, unite as Mr. Cuomo has warned, or face serious consequences in November.

I LIKE Mario Cuomo's suggestion as to how to get the Democrats out of this hole they're digging for the party. Obama and Clinton should agree that whoever wins the nomination he/she will name the other as his/her running mate. That should satisfy both candidates' supporters and would re-unify the party. There will be some who would not vote for one or the other under any circumstances. But most would go along. I just hope Barack and Hillary are listening!

LOVE LIVE HILLARY!

DOWN WITH OBAMA, PURE PUPPET!

Of course Hillary should be President and Obama Vice-President.

I'm sure 50 cent and Oprah speak for America when they say Obama is the most qualified to be President. Are you kidding me? Go Hillary!

The loser as the VP? Never gonna happen.

Go Nader!!!!!

Hillary does not have the qualities needed for President and Commander in Chief. Senator Obama can do much better, there are honest politicans who are more qualified for the job. Where are Hillary's tax returns? Senator's McCain and Obama have released their 2000 thru 2006 tax returns and Hillary refuses to disclose hers. She must have very compelling reasons for this non-disclosure.

They should stop saying that hillary should get out of the race .......let her pull a huckabee, he was pleasant to watch in the end. She just needs to stop lying about sniper fire and she needs to pay the small businesses that she hasn't paid....

girlycott lets see the democratic party win the election without their most loyal voters WOMEN!!!!

I support Hillary, but I will not support Obama. Despite his infatuated supporters and the starry-eyed media, Obama is not the messiah sent from God to heal this nation. He is a politician like all the rest with no experience and unfettered ambition. I will vote for McCain if Hillary is not on the ticket. I will not change my mind, and the millions of Hillary supporters who are treated as invisible people will cost the Democrats this election.

really i dont think sen clinton would care much for his endorsement anyway....he needs to join the ranks of the obama supporters......light up another blunt 50 cents...

jdona's write-in plan would have the Republicans giddy licking their chops with pleasure...

Obama the Dem nominee, and a nationwide campaign to split the Democrat vote.

So be it. I favor Obama, but McCain is a not so distant second.

No Hillary, ever.

Neither Obama nor Clinton will get the number of delegates needed to win the nomination..They should both stay in for as long as it takes..everyone is overeacting...the strongest candidate will win and the other one will support the winner...the convention will bring everyone toghether, that's what they're for..don't worry, McCain isn't going anywhere..he's too old, he makes too many speaking mistakes and the democratic nominee will make him look like an idiot in the debates...and don't forget, nobody wants a third Bush term..I know I can't take anymore of this economy..let the process play out.

my prediction is if Hillary takes this all the way to the floor of the convenstion to fight.....she will lose her political credibility. People will be turned off.

If these two could ever get over themselves and work together as a team, then we would finally have a decent chance of real positive change in this country, because they both talk a good game and may actually believe in most of it.

Unfortunately, neither Obama or Hillary is willing to do that. They are both too full of themselves to ever consider a compromise. I wish we could throw them both out for that reason alone.

Do we really want a leader whose first priority is their own career? These two are making McCain look better every week, and that's scary and sad on a level we haven't seen in decades.

"...continue the nomination fight – but have both candidates commit now that if he or she wins, the other would be the vice presidential choice." TOTALLY AGREE! That's going to be a happy ending.

Those "elder statesmen" should think of this for the sake of the party!

Edwards to endorse Obama after Penn.

Well I dont want both as that would e a nightmare ticket not a dream ticket. The math just isnt on Hillarys side. This is as bad as the second suggesting the first be the VP. She can stay in but after the primarys she should determine its time to conceed if the math is still for Obama's favor. Taking it all the way to the convention would destroy the party IMO.

Obama 08

NO! NO! NO! Obama has the RIGHT to CHOOSE whomever he wants. By the way, he has a running mate whom the country will LOVE and who is well known and loved. It would be a disaster if he chooses Hillary. You people need to stop with that idea of a mistake.

No Clinton, anywhere on the ticket.

I appreciate your sentiments but I don't ever want to see another Clinton again after finding out how they continue to lie about one thing after another and running such a pathetic campaign. I used to really respect Hillary but as this race has gone on and now the 'true facts' are coming out about her I will never vote for a Clinton. Ever. She and Bill deserve each other. Obama has run a very worthy and decent campaign and he doesn't need Hillary or Bill.

Richardson once said..." since when did experience become some kind of leper?"

Now he changes his tune.

That is his privilege- even as a superdelegate. So lets give all the voters the "privilege" of voting... now that it is no longer our right.

Let the DNC and party leaders rule out all our other rights as well.

As I have said before ,the democratic party was so sure that Clinton would have it wrapped up by Super Tuesday.The voters had a different idea.I really don't know what her backers hope to gain.It appears they can only lose .If she somehow steals the nomination she would not have a prayer in Nov.

Well this would work just fine for Hillary who would benefit from having Barack as her #2. I think it's completely different the other way around. Hillary would only weigh down Barack's candidacy. She's got way too much baggage and as we are seeing now...despite Hillary's claims otherwise...there is still much Clinton dirt to be drug through the media in days to come.

Obama / Richardson 08 !!!!!

Typical Clinton supporter trying to spin reality. Obama doesn't need Clinton to win the Democratic nomination or the General Election.

There will be more than enough Independents and cross over Republicans voting for Obama in the General election to make up for the few hardcore bitter Clinton backers.

Why would Obam want Clinton on the ticket when this lady owes far too many lobbyist supporters. The many scandals in her past would be a recipe for disaster. That's the reason the Republicans are crossing over in PA and other states in an attempt to vote Hillary in the Democratic nomination process so that they can destroy her in the fall.

Cuomo should stop wringing his hands and relax.A fine book is out this week by Amy Sullivan of Time, Inc . She writes brilliantly in "The Party Faithful" how the Democratic party can sucessfully find moral meeting ground with the religious voters who have traditionally voted for-and been exploited by-the Republican party, A great read for all thinking Democrats.

Count me in that group. I am a Hillary supporter who will definitely vote for McCain if she is not on the ticket. Contrary to the media's attempt to push him down our throat and the belief by many of his supporters that he is God's gift to the universe, I will never vote for him. Hillary supporters, believe it are not, are not invisible. Our votes count, too.

Democrats do need to chill out, we will all get a piece of the pie either way it goes as long as we stop hating and thinking with our heads. Democrats needs to stop acting like "little red riding hood" and recognize the republican party as the big bad wolf. Think democrat party first at all cost.

John King,
I just watched your piece on this topic and I very much agree with Mario Cuomo. This would end the temptation for the "death of a thousand cuts" as every one points out about the Democrats.

But JOHN, in the piece following that report you were commenting about certain polls and just your incinuations (or more specifically, the way in which you reported the "results") shows your true bias! Your viewers can see it, hear it, and feel it. CNN better "knock it off" or come Novemeber no one will be watching you for the results of the general election. After that last piece, I switched stations....to FOX News.

I don't want either of the Clintons anywhere near the White House, or it's silverware. Hillary would make a horrible VP for anyone because she can't be trusted. I can imagine her behind the scene always scheming to make herself relevant, at the expense of the President, the country or anyone who stood in her way. She scares me.

I will embrace the anarchy of freedom any day... over installing a nominee based on American idol criteria over credentials.

Bad idea, having Clinton on the ticket. I would not be voting Democrat if that were the case.
Her credibility was shot to hell after regaling the world with her sniper dodging story.

NO! NO! NO! Obama has a right to CHOOSE who he wants as a running mate and Hillary IS NOT the one. Obama will have a running mate who will also inspire the country to unite – BELIEVE ME! ONE WHO IS WELL KNOWN AND LIKED! He doesn't have to go with Hillary, people need to stop with the mess. Like Pelosi said – that's not going to happen – it will be a disaster.

If you really get Senator Clinton to quit right now as everyone seems to be crying out for. Before any other state left to vote gets to vote. Do you people really believe THAT is going to make this election any more a legit nomination? With a few million people not being allowed to get to vote OTHER than Michigan and Florida? Come on! Think about it. Since when is an election legal when nearly or just over half of the nation is told they need not vote? I guess you never heard of word:
Revolution. It happens. Hate to see it happen over this.

The GOP is salivating, an Obama nomination is LANDSLIDE WIN for JOHN McCain. Independent voters is the KEY CONSTITUENTS of McCain. Key constituents of Hillary Clinton is the base of the democratic party; that leave Obama scraping bottom of a barrel. AT LEAST 28% of registered democrats will not vote Obama according to the poll, but the number is much higher in my opinion. The base of the democratic party is willing to SACRIFICE 4 years under McCain if Obama is the nominee for their party.

I would have said yes I agree. BUT not Now. I do not want Berry Obama on any party ticket as president or vice president.
If Obama is on a ticket as president I will not vote that ticket.
If Obama is on a ticket as vice president I will not vote that ticket.
I am a Democrat and for anyone to say I don't deserve to vote because I will not vote for Berry Obama, is the one that needs to get a reality check. McCain is not my choice but I will do nothing to help put Berry Obama in the White House. This is the First time I have been totally against someone. This Berry Obama has torn the democratic party apart, what would he do in the White House. I will vote for McCain to save the United States from total destruction he would bring.

Anyone but Obama. The man gives me the creeps.

You dont want both of them, but 28% of Democrats will not vote for Obama alone and I am one of them. Its either take her along or loose.
And yes Obama is very truthful and honest. Ask Resko!!!!

Why are we spreading the myth that Obama is winning?

The Fl and Mi votes would turn that around and give Hillary the lead.

He is ahead by blocking 10% of the votes.

If he is certain of his lead- why block the votes?

COME ON OBAMA COME OUT AND SAY THIS IS FEAR MUNGERING.

FIGHT ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION HILLARY

Well, I definitely don't want HRC on the ticket, and I don't know who Cuomo supports, but why is this really a new idea? The HRC camp especially has been floating the idea of a joint ticket for a while – is this just a nudge to Obama to take HRC off the "short list" and make a commitment?

This must be a SERIOUSLY slow news day though. Cuomo's brilliant "new idea" is only trumped by the high-profile endorsement of Obama by fifty-cent, a man who says he won't vote probably anyway, and admits that he doesn't really listen to the news coverage of the primary race. WOW.

Although, I must say that his endorsement certainly is "Change for Obama."

PAy your bills.

New York seems to be filled with bad ideas and bad candidates for president. Cuomo, an otherwise good fellow, has come up with a no-go. Clinton is not qualified for the P or VP slots. And if she ended up as Obama's VP, she'd end up doing exactly what she did during Bill's administration–flubbing major projects, like health care, destroying the party, and dodging sniper fire in Bosnia. Forget it!

Obama can only win by cheating.

True democrats are not okay with that.

He will NOT have our vote in Nov.

COUNT THE VOTES, STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fl and Mi should count and then Hillary would be ahead.

Why wasn't the article about how Obama was part of the Chicago machine and did politics as usual with Emil Jones, part of the Ticker? Seems Obama uses people like Jones and Wright to get ahead politically, and after he does, he dumps them saying they are the old ways of doing things. However, he sure kisses up to them while on the way up. I am from the Chicagoland area and have seen Obama in action and would reccomend people review his history in local politics.

TWO DAMAGED DEMOCRATS ARE BETTER THAN MCBUSH 3.0

DEM 08!!!

I agree with Bill

Lets saddle up and have an argument.

The people- not the media or the DNC and party elites- pick the nominee.

IF the votes in Fl and Mi count- AS THEY SHOULD- then Hillary would be ahead now.

That is the reason Obama's lawyers are blocking the revote.

It is absurd to force these two to work together. They've spent over a year learning to hate each other. I'd much rather have either of them be on good terms with their VP so that they can effectively work together as a team. The VP is no longer just a body in waiting should the president die. Both Al Gore and (unfortunately) Dick Cheney have expanded the role to have a large impact on administration policy which is a good thing because the VP is an elected office too.

Let the candidates run the entire primary (since neither can win based on pledged delegates alone) and then let the super delegates do their job and decide the winner. Then let the winner decide on their running mate. Doing this would be following the DESIGN of the system. If you don't like it, change it for 2012. This is what we have to work with now.

We needed this type of wisdom months ago.Its now the silly hour at the Democrats.Leadership requires doing the right thing at the right time.The Democrats have failed miserably on both counts.Its especially disappointing to see Obama,who captured the imagination of the people with his fervent expressions about changing things,settle quite comfortably into the same-old-same- old political nastiness we've seen for decades.

Someone out there still needs to let me know how Hillary is going to win this nomination. Texas and Ohio were the last set of Firewalls, so I heard, "meet me in Texas." Ohi and TX have come and gone!!!

Now, I hear, meet me for a landslide win in PA. It is little wonder that the rest of the world laughs at our "mathematical abilities" in this country. We are in "fantasy land."

...You put Hillary on the ticket and you lose. It's that simple.

I will vote anyone but Obama.

HILLARY / Anyone '08

The Obama campaign is maitaining the illusion that they are ahead in this primary.

If the voters of Fl and Mi count- AND THEY MUST- then Clinton has the lead.

Obama is blocking the revote in Fl and Mi- and thus positioning himself AGAINST the will of the people.

He should be livid at the DNC for NOT counting people's votes- whether they favor him or not.

if all the dems that are worried the party is going to break apart would make dean let the florida and mich votes count and seat the delagates in those 2 states and Hillary wins the other states that are left to vote then we will have our nominee fair and square if she loses the other states that are left to vote obama win fair and square and there would be no problems

Let's talk about the Vice Presidency after the democratic nominee has been chosen!

But aside from that why would an Obama ever chose to run with a Hillary when she's against transparency, takes money from anyone that's willing to support her no matter who they are ( ex. Peter Paul the felon), belives in the same old same old and gives the lobbyists what they want in turn for giving her what she wants-- WHY WOULD OBAMA WANT A VICE PRESIDENT WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IDEOLOGY FROM HIS- He needs to surround himself with people who want to change things, people who believe in working for the people and not for themselves, Hillary is not of that persuasion!!!

Obama won the most delegates out of Texas. This is news CNN. Report it.

“Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton by putting aside personal irritations, and to some extent personal aspirations"

Surely Cuomo jousts with that great big pinhead..
Ha Ha!!

WHAT A COWARD!! This is a GOOD fight and as long as the two campaigns aren't TOO negative it will all work out. Mr. Cuomo does not seem to understand this needs to be a WINNER TAKES ALL contest. To have them agree that they will chose the loser as Vice -President sort takes the EDGE off the competition doesn't it?? As stated in the beginning this is a VERY COWARDLY and somewhat insulting way to look at this. Once this is over I believe 95% of Democratics will calm down and support the winner of this SPIRITED contest.

Hillary should give a nice speech and step out!!! The only reasons why some of the senior senators are asking her to step out now is because Hillary can not win but is saying she will win if she doesn't win! If Obama was behind Hillary and all of her support would be screaming for him to step to the side.

And thank you all for thinking I am Bill Clinton.

Maybe I should be president... obviously I know how democracy works.

The "new" democrats... aren't they the very people too lazy, too selfish and too apathetic to ever vote before?

And now they DEMAND Obama?

We "old" democrats we have voted in every election since we were 18. We will teach you all about democracy and the democratic process this Nov.

Anyone but Hillary.....!!!!

I am hoping with regret that the Democrats lose the White House this time as well. Why? The hypocracy of the Obama camp(I'm not saying the Clinton camp is innocent), the Democrats calling for Hillary Clinton to get out when neither candiate can win without superdelegates, the lack of leadership to have a revote in Florida & Michigan, the clear bias of the media towards Obama, the trully "undemocratic" way this race will be resolved, with superdelegates. A popular vote is not a popular vote without all the states having a fair election with votes that count. This is a time the Democratic party, I hope, will lose and learn a big lesson. Overhaul your nominating process and get rid of the superdelagets and let "We the people.." of this great nation decide who we want as President. The next step now is for Hillary Clinton to make a speech on "gender" inequality to change the topic of the day just as Obama did in his
race speech. What's the media say-brilliant speech? I say good way to deflect the issues of Rev Wright. Go MCain 2008. I also hope Nancy Pelosi loses her seat in the US Congress. Who is she to dictate and tell the other superdelegates how to vote?

2 determined candidates competing for the presidency doesn't damage the party... incessant paranoia and woe-saying does. In the words of bill: chill.

This is just another Clintonista ploy to throw chaos into the process. More chaos makes Obamas lead look less decisive.

If any of these people had any integrity, it would continue without any more discussion of popular vote or elective colleges.

At some point, the dems need to give some one some power in their party to avoid this appearance of disorganization.

Never fear Cuomo. Hillary's supporters have a secret weapon. We are mounting a nationwide campaign to write her in on the ticket in November, so we won't have to vote for John McCain. Then again, we are not going to vote for Barack Obama either. Its Hillary all the way!

NO WAY!!!! THESE PARTY ELDERS EITHER NEED TO ENDORSE SOMEONE, OR KEEP THEIR OPINIONS TO THEMSELVES!!!!

AND WHEN THEY ENDORSE, NO NEED TELLING THE OTHER PERSON TO LEAVE, BUT JUST TO KEEP THE FIGHT FAIR, AND POSITIVE!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!

It's time for Obama to drop out, for the good of the party..

EITHER WAS IT GO BOTH DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES WILL BE MAKING HISTORY IF ELECTED. I BELIEVE THERE IS VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OBAMA AND CLINTON; SO I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE SMARTER IF THEY BOTH GOT ON THE SAME TICKET INSTEAD OF SEPERATING THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE. IF WE ARE SEPERATED AS DEMOCRATES WE MAY LOSE THE RACE ONCE AGAIN. I FEEL LIKE BOTH CANINDATES ARE EQUALKLY CAPABLE OF RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE AND I THINK HILLARY SHOULD BE VICE PRESIDENT WHILE BARACK LEADS OUR COUNTRY TO A BETTER WORLD.

I'm an Obama supporter and even I am with Mr. Clinton, "CHILL OUT" the race will resolve itself. we will be united as long as the person who does not win the nomination looses with grace and dignity and with total support of the nominee then things will be fine. They worry for nothing, this is a good thing look how interested everyone is in the process, and states that usually don't get to vote, GET TO VOTE, so let them. This is their chance too.

BOLLOCKS!

I think it will be ok. Sure there is bitterness.

Hillary people feel a vote for Obama in light of his church's stance on anti-American and 9/11 sentiments is a slap in the face to the victims of 9/11.

Obama people are religious about putting him in office no matter what controversies are out there on him.

But I think no matter what, we can come together and back the nominee.

There have been bitter rivalries before and it came out ok.

I have tried to be patient with the Obama supporters.

1. The PEOPLE of Fl and Mi did not agree to anything- much less to be disenfranchised – and they are the ones that matter, not any politician.

2. Obama's rock star status gave him name recognition. Oprah held his hand everywhere.

3. Obama was the ONLY one to break the rules and campaigned in Florida via his very expensive TV ads- and Hillary still won.

4. A re-vote is exactly that- a re-vote and it gives Obama the edge since supposedly he improves with time, like a fine wine.

5. Hillary did NOT campaign anywhere. Obama ran ads in Fl and told people to vote uncommitted in Mi. Kind of like his "present" votes in the Senate.

6. Punish the democratic voters in 2 very important states and you can kiss the election goodbye in Nov.

7. Look up the role of superdelegates for yourselves... otherwise they will close this post before I can educate all of you.

So much for obama being transparent.. Hillary stay in the race.
Regarding Pastor Wright and Obama where he denied being present when pastor made his headline-making sermons. I read where Jim Davis a reporter for NewsMaxx magazine says "he saw the would-be President at one of them last July 22, when the pastor blamed the "white arrogance" of America for the world's suffering and more bs.

No way obama should have Hillary as his vice president. He is against every thing she stands for. I hate to this another clinton in the white house enough of their lies. I did not have sexual relationship with that women monika he lied under oath. Hillary lied to us about her to trip to bosnia, her vote for NAFTA I can go on and on.

John King, your article quoting Governor Cuomo lacks originality.

There is plenty of time for Hillary's campaign to self destruct before all our eyes as we are "chilling" and that’s a good thing.

Everyone, but Bill, Hillary and Chelsea, sees what is happening to her campaign efforts...they are in serious melt-down mode. Obama is going to win and placing Hillary as his VP reduces Osama’s chances with the American people. The idea is to win and beat McBush. There are far too many better Democrats out there to enhance the ticket. Hillary is not one of them.

Mario,

You mean well, but you're misguided. Hillary supporters don't like Obama. Obama supporters don't like Hillary. Many of Hillary's supporters will vote for McCain if Obama's the nominee, and vice versa. If you put them together, maybe all their supporters will vote for McCain.

Both of them together don't equal one McCain. Enough said.

Between this and 50 Cent no longer supporting Clinton, CNN you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for news in an other wise slow cycle.

. . .Mario Cuomo should go back to recording records . . .OOps that was
Perry wasn't it.

God forbid that Obama choose Hillary as a vice president. I have come to disdain the Clintons and plus he should know, if he gets Hillary, he gets Bill too!! NO more Clintons! Enough, already!

America is waking up to reality. Why? Because the Horse is out of the barn. Can't put it back. Democrats are stuck with Obama and all the garbage he brings with him. Time to put up or shut up. No more pretty phrases. As Carville said yeserday. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and all the Kings men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again. Hillary is the only chance and the party leaders don't see it.

A election is same as baseball game...you start it at the beginning and end it at the last man out....you don't stop the game in the 7th just because the other team is ahead a little..you finish it....I wouldn't like it if the did that at a game I was looking out and the same goes for a election...it seems like if the other team leading did that..it would be they are afraid they might lose...........that would be like watching a good movie and left before the end because it was to long....

Former New York Governor Cuomo not pitching Hillary as the presidential half of the ticket speaks volumes.

Obama is in!

John,

We don't want Obama to be on the ticket. This will dimish the chance of Hilary winning the election in Nov. We cannot trust Obama. We do not know much about this guy. "So we prefer a no devil to an unknown angel".

Hilary 2008

Lets let Obama pick who HE wants for his VP. Hillary has been too nasty to be his #2.

At the end of this race we will still be the same. One or the other will be in the lead but we will still be divided almost equally. The super delegates come in and disinfrrancise the other half of the party and as angry as both sides are, the other half will not support the nominated delegate. It doesn't even take that many people to insure that McCain wins. None of us will win because we are to stuborn and selfish to compromise. This would be a win win. We all would get what we want. The person on top gets to be president and the person who comes in second would be vice president. A whole lot less upset people. The fact this race is so close needs to be a wake up call. We need to have both on the ticket or a lot of people are going to be upset either way.

I think it would be a useful suggestion if the candidates weren't so different. Their policies and ideas are similar, yes, but they are extremely different individuals with disparate personal values and visions of how they want to see the political arena change, or not, in order to best serve the American people.

Obama would be much better served choosing a running mate who will share his vision and work to implement more transparency into the system, with full disclosure of earmarks. I see him with Gore or my personal favorite... Mark Warner.

Maybe Mario needs to consult with 50 Cent.

Not going to happen. Obama does not play well with "others."

Yea, just chill out and lets continue to see the supers line up for Obama, we got time.

forget about the "dream ticket', it would turn out to be a "nightmare ticket", in either way.

a joint ticket will sure help me decide. Anything that includes Billary will push me over to McCain. Obama is okay without her, but together that tag team won't hunt.
If Rice runs with McCain, then everything is out the window and I flip a coin

Hilary responded by saying she's surprised by the reversal as she is East Coast and Sen. Obama is not.

This coming from a man who spews filthy words through his music? If I was Clinton, I wouldn't want such a person publically supporting me. In fact, this is jut another reason why I will vote McCain if Clinton does not get the Dem. nod.

Cuomo is right, a dual ticket between the two democratic candidates is a must in order to win the GE. Of course, those of you who don't think so are entitled to your opinion, as am I.

All I have to say is that just becuase a newsperson doesn't think it's going to happen, doesn't mean it won't happen.

Please stick to reporting the news and stop trying to create the news.

How can you help but be bitter?
The bias of the media has made me bitter. I can't help but be for the underdog==Hillary Clinton. I never thought that the media could treat anyone like they have Hillary. They are trying to destroy her. I never thought this could happen in America but it has –and it is. Will the media report on the questionnaires Obama completed – one being that he supports taking our guns? I doubt it.

Obama is no longer a viable candidate-he can't win in a general election!

If he loved the country instead of hating it-(he is known by school children as "The Bad man who hates America") he'd drop out!

We want to hear Hillary's solutions for America!

We want to have years of Peace and Prosperity!

No more Republicans, no more Obama-the Anti-American!

If they can tear an election apart like this in a few months, what kind of damage can they do to the White House in 4 years?

Great thinking, Cuomo.

Here we go again, another Hillary supporter trying to put her the ticket.
Sorry, Mario Coumo, but Hillary is the one who started the smear campaign, and now that she's about done, we shouldn't accomodate her, by putting her the ticket with Mr. Obama. Let's just let Mr. Obama win the nomination after the final ten states so he can pick his own V.P.

Thanks.

Tell Cuomo to shut up! He's got a bigger mouth than Bill and Hillary combined. Sorry folks, I don't think Hillary deserves to be on any ticket with a 37% positive approval from the public. How low can she go? Another 6% and she'll be in the Bush league. Now that's a real compliment! NOT!

Sorry, sir you got the wrong number...

Clinton/Obama – experience, savy, know how and let Obama learn ... just as he has been doing during the nomination process – learning from Clinton.

No to Obama/Clinton.......would she get paid extra for teaching him?

This could nearly secure 16 years of Democrats.........short of this – elect McCain with a majority in the House and Senate of Democrats.

This suggestion is stupidity. Cuomo is clueless as to what's going on here. People are not clamoring for that tired "dream ticket". Most never were.

Clinton as Obama's VP would violate the politics that Obama embraces. Clinton is everything that Obama supporters hate about politics.

I'm a strong Obama supporter, but I wouldn't touch an Obama/Clinton ticket, even with Obama on top, with a ten foot pole.

Cuomo is a politician from another time. So is Geraldine Ferraro.

Why their trotting out these fossils is beyond me.

wasn't this suggested, in varying terms, by about 20 other people? What makes this guy so special and why is this still news?

Obama has, repeated, said that he's not running for VP and I have yet to hear him being interested in the position. I can't see Clinton having any desire to be VP either.

I also can't believe that A- this is (still) news and B- that somehow 50 Cent's political views trump this in terms of importance...

I agree with Jane. I am an Obama supporter who in the beginning would have loved an Obama/Clinton ticket however, no more. I would vote Democrat whoever the nominee (hopefully Obama) but would not like to see them on the same ticket.

I agree.... Obama should drop out b/c he can't beat McCain in white-dominated Ohio and Pennsylvania

Oh NO HIllary!!!!!!! 50 Cent doesn't back you!?!?! Time to quit!!!
What a bunch of nonsense. Why did this even hit the airwaves? I am a Barack backer, but I am dumbfounded that a rapper's opinion would get ANY airtime....give me a BREAK.

I don't ever, ever want to see Hillary, or Bill again. They stand for lies.
And they think "they deserve". The voters know different. Liars-no
con artists-NO NO NO.

I'm still mad that Cuomo didn't run for President when he had the chance to. He would have made a wonderful President.

His suggestion is interesting, but not timely. Unfortunately, most people don't "do the math" and conclude there is no way Hillary can win unless she does the "Tonya Harding" trick to Obama. OR Obama's campaign stumbles big time. People keep thinking it is really close and it isn't. There are only 10 more primaries and even with Michigan and Florida, she can't win. The supers are not going to take it away from the winner....

She needs to be rational and her husband needs to tell her (as he seems to be the more diplomatic of the two) that it's over.....soon...

One thing for sure-the Democratic Party is losing voters to John McCain–but the wrangling between Obama and Clinton is ony the sideshow–not the main reason for so many Democrats changing to Indies's or Republican.

There is a growing segment of responsible Democrats that have now had opportunities to really evaluate the detailed agendas of both Clinton and Obama–and listen to both candidates defend their positions on healthcare, the economy, national defense, foreign/domestic policies. These folks are fully satisfied with what they are seeing.

The current agenda of the Democratic party is more socialist than ever and has moved way left of center –this disturbs many who consider themselves fiscally conservative. And there is a general perception neither has a grasp of what to do with regards to Iraq and Afghanistan, North Korea, Iran.

That's fine, just put Obama at the top.

No, John, we don't want both of them. We only want Obama.
We are going to have a hard enough job getting the Republican
And Democratic fat cats liars out. I am not sure that Hillary, after all
the lies, will even be able to win the voters of New York over for
her next run. We crave truth. We hate liars. Wonder Why?? My vote
has been for Obama from Day 1. But, if Hillary is on his ticket, I would
have a hard time voting for. a Clinton on any ticket. The Clintons have
shown that they are "the best con artists of our times" and Clinton
on the ticket will be a vote for a liar. I am firm in my statement.

And this suggestion is useful ... how?
