Nancy Pelosi says that now because she is really supporting Obama and does not like Hillary. If Hillary wins this she will change her tune overnight. It is time for the Super delegates to come to their senses and stop trying to shove Obama down the party's throat. Hillary is ahead in the poplular vote and is the only one strong enough to take on McCain. Have we not learned that when we put up a candidate who is perceived as super liberal, an elitist,out of touch and less than patriotic We always lose. Not this time. It is time to send Obama back to us here in Illinois. We are used to empty suits in the Illinois statehouse

PELOSI AND OTHER LEADING DEMOCRATS CAN^T JUST NOMINATE A WEAK CANDIDATE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST...

OBAMA CAN JUST DELIVER SPEECHES BUT HE CAN^T DEBATE AND SPEECHES WON^T HELP TO HIM WIN THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS ...

DEMOCRATS NEED A FIGHTER WHO CAN FIGHT FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY VALUES AND FIGHT FOR THE WHOLE NATION... ..

THAT IS HILLARY CLINTON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Hillary 08..

.

At first i thought both on same ticket was a good idea, but after how clinton has conducted herself with this win at all cost politics, i bet you she will be the worst candidate ever in AMERICA'S history the only reason the democrats will not win the presidecy come november is if she is on any of the tickets. Believe me this woman is dangerously annoying.

McCain needs to stop picking apples from the bottom of the barrel. There are plenty of good apples left on the vine by Barak and Clinton.
They are hard working taxpayers that don't give a crap about being Democrats or Republicans. They want a person with a good heart and the Cojones to use our military power to benefit not only the United States but also freedom loving people all over the world.

I believe that you are that kind of man, so don't disappoint me by failing to place the blame directly on the people of New Orleans and the State Goverment that failed to take care of them during and after the crisis.

Hurry up and rebuild New Orleans so that they can tear it down again.
Maybe the next time a hurricane is headed to NO, they will have enough common sense to leave.

Speaker Pelosi and John Dean should set an example by
making their own choice for candidate clear to the DNP at this point.....Asking Super-delegates to speed up the process
is slowed by those choosing to hide out until no risk is involved.

I love Pelosi....maybe she can finesse an Obama- Edwards....a dream ticket without the divisive personality of Clinton. By now, Edwards should be able to see clearly Clinton's almost pathological ambition...or he isn't the man we thought he was and voted for.

If Barack does not win I will not vote for Hillary, and I will write Barack name on the ballot. I do not want to see them together at all; Hillary has divided this country because she knows she could do it and get a way with it.

Plain and simple No Africa-American President!

She says that because she wants to be a vice president for Obama.

With Hillary as VP we might have some unwanted sniper fire, and considering the economy is the most pressing issue coming up in this election she'll knock us back to the stone age if she has anything to say like she has her campaign. I thought the whole agenda of the democratic party this election was to defeat the narrow-minded fear mongering politics of the Bush-era. With Hillary anywhere near the oval office, that mode of thinking is screaming "Four More Years." I am glad that her blind automaton followers swear they will vote for McCain in the general election; at least that scenario has Hillary far away from the ticket, and while McCain is a far cry from Obama, he above and beyond the filth of Hillary.

I am very disappointed in some of my fellow Americans who are smart enough to know how the political system works to disavow and demonize someone for political purposes. You take phrases, words and you emphasize the statements with a negative connotation. The Rev. was speaking to a certain group of people who understood exactly what he was saying and his meaning. Those who do not choose to understand use those same words and phrases to mean something completely opposite. That is America's language.

And no one wants a "joint" ticket. There would be such a huge outcry if that were to take place, that it be would be detrimental for the entire political system.

Obama is trying not to do any "biting", but if he doesn't he is considered "weak". He is dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't. What I have seen out of the Clintons have turned me sour with the Clintons. I backed Bill when he went through his "mess" while in the White House and prayed for Hillary to stand strong, but now I see the "real" Clintons; and I can't stand what I see. The smell makes me sick! Boy when this is over, I hope the Clintons will be able to look themselves in the mirror without those fake smiles.

Perhaps, she wants to be Obama's VP

>>>>>>>>>>> HILLARY, WE HAVE YOUR BACK!!!!!! <<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>> CLINTON/EDWARDS 08' & 12' <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?" – He said when answering the phone at 3AM!!

Barack has sprayed poison too. Get it through your thick head he is just another politician. Was he hoping when he listened to these hidious sermons for 20 years. AND NANCY POLOSI "SHUT UP !!!!!!!!!!!"

We all know that Pelosi wants Obama to win the nomination. Maybe she wants the VP herself.

I would like to make a comment about Obama's pastor. One of the many things he said that people found offensive was that hillary had an edge over obama because she was white.

Now, let's check the facts: in a poll, 8 % white Americans say they are not ready to vote for a black simply because of his skin color.
0% black Americans say they are not ready to vote for a white simply because of his/her skin color.

Are the people who found the comment offensive in denial or what?

Please give it a lady you are damaging the party, how do you suppose you appeal to hillary's supporters then? Shut up its not your choice who will be vp. I don't think Hillary will take it anyway.

Can Pelosi really be as stupid as she sounds? Apparently so. The shear hypocracy and idiocy of her statement in the second paragraph is breathtaking, even for a flaming liberal.

Her constituency must be even lamer than she is, were that possible.

Don't be surprised that should Clinton loose, Nancy Pelosi will have to face off with HRC as Majority leader in the Senate.
Now that is Pelosi's nightmare come true.
Phil

Why? Does she hope for a VP?

Ok, Ms. Pelosi.. Hillary'08!

Not a hard call to make.

Hillary does not play nice with her teammates. They ARE teammates RIGHT????

Does SHE know that???

Shirlyanne,

That is simply not true, people will say anything.

With all the poison Hillary has sprayed towards Barack, I can't imagine anyone would want to partner with her. I really like Nancy Pelosi. Like many others I think that would be the dream ticket–Obama and Pelosi.

An Obama/Richardson ticket would sink Barack's campaign faster then you can say JOHN KERRY !!!!!

i mean two lib-labs???

Now a Clinton/Edwards ticket would be DYNAMIC !!!!!

I have seen recent polls today and Obama is below John McCain and yes Hillary Clinton. People posting have no facts and continue to believe its Hillary's fault Obama cant win now. The true facts are what everyone in Obamas camp have said on numerous occasions that America has heard. We also see the fact that he has relationships with people that some do not trust. That is no ones fault but Obamas. Get a grip move on. His deficits hurt him on his own and would destroy them if they were a ticket.

He's BAAACKKKKKKK......."Uncle Wright has escaped from where the O-Bitter camp was holding him!!!!!!!!

Do you smell it????????? O-Bitter is doomed!!!

"GOD BLESS "Bitter" AMERICA!!" – Oblahma

"

Once again, the Clintons are not defendants in the Peter Paul case. They are only witnesses.

I don't know why anyone would think it's a good idea, they've both gone after each other pretty hard so I think it would be better they not.

Can anyone tell me why Hillary wasn't concerned about Michigan and Florida days after the primaries there and now all of sudden she's "winning", nice spin she put on it.
I think if the party had already agreed not to count those votes they should have enough ethic and moral to abide by that.

If you just kept your mouth shut, it would be such a good thing. Why do you not worry about leading congress better?

A joint ticket only helps Hillary. Obama is winning this thing fair and square, and I don't think any one can argue that he hasn't been. For Hillary to be "given" the nomination in Denver, she would have to have Obama on the ticket, there has to be some compromise. I hope I am right about Obama's character and he would not accept. When he wins the nomination he doesn't owe it to Hillary, so he doesn't need her as his VP. He can ask John Edwards, there is the blue collar vote, or even Bill Richardson, heavy on Foreign Policy expirience.

What a JOKE!

If there were a joint ticket, it would have to be Clinton/Obama.

Obama is still an untested babe in the woods who has done nothing but campaign for President. As evidenced by his egotistical responses regarding any slot but President, he clearly thinks he is too good to be VP which is such a joke it isn't even funny.

gee nancy, hoping for an obama or clinton/pelosi ticket by any chance!?!??!

the reason anyone even suggests an obama/clinton is so we can GUARANTEE a win against McFlippityFloppity!!!

if we dems could actually come together and be DEMOCRATIC we'd stand a better chance of doing that MUST be done in november-defeating the same ol'-same ol' failures that mccain supports!

come on people, dont you remember, we are the NICE ones. this "i'll vote for mccain or not at all" talk is crazy and non-sensical-and THOSE are the traits of the mccain/bushies!!!!

come on back over to the bright side, we forgive you for your brief lapse in sanity, let's all focus on BEATING THE REPUBS and fighting against their greedy failed policies and future plans!

Good going, Speaker Pelosi. Why should Clinton give up a Senate seat to join the "you die, I fly" club? Conversely, why would Obama want a Vice-President AND a former President right behind him probably looking to pounce at any moment.

I'll state my preferences right now. General Wesley Clark would make a good V-P candidate for her. They trust each other, his reputation is sterling and has great military knowledge plust few negatives!

For Obama, Bill Richardson as his broad experience would be a great plus not to mention it would help with the Hispanic vote. Also, "plucking" another Senator from the slim Democratic majority doesn't seem wise. The cries you just heard are from Evan Bayh who wants the V-P job so badly he's salivating.

Only twice in my life 77 years have I had such a negative feeling toward a person as I have against Hillary Clinton, once when Nixon was running and the second time was during the first and second terms of the Bush administration. every word they uttered made me feel like they were talking to a bunch idiots. Needless to say the Nixon and Bush were both disasters.

I have no respect for her.
She is not what I thought she would be and I am very disappointed.
All I have seen from her is nagging and seeking opportunity to score political points. I can’t wait for her to go away.
She is soooooooooo irrelevant.

Pelosi is right:

Go to now.public.com and read about the Fraud case coming up against Hillary:

"Peter Paul vs.Hillary Clinton Election Fraud Case stuffed in a California Court."

I will never vote for any ticket if Clinton's name is on it.
Her campaign and scorched earth strategy have destroyed any respect I might have had for her at the beginning.
By the time this is over, and she emerges the clear loser, the Clinton legacy will be seriously damaged.

Why do you think Barry Obama has gotten all the votes he has. The republicans crossed over and voted for him. They know Hillry would kill them in the General. You haven't seen nor heard of the negative truthful facts about him yet. The public hasn't been allowed to see or hear of it. Why do you think he does not want to Debate anymore. If Hillry won I would hope he was not on the ticket and if he was to win I hope she would not be on the ticket. I would have to vote another way.

America still lives with an "impeached past-president"– Bill Clinton.
American still lives with an Administration that lies to them daily– Bush.

Why have people not left America for another nation beacuse of these things?
Why do people continue to live in American with all the "hate for minorities," including women's rights?
Why is Hillary still living with a man that has been unfaithful for years in more ways or with an impaeched president?

Now, how can American expect Obama to take responsibility for the sins of an adult– Rev Wright?

Way too early to be discussing vp candidates or even (heaven forbid) a joint ticket... After Peter Paul, she may not even be available for either job unless she's given some kind of work-release program. Not sure they do that for the position she's applying for, however.

It's been proven that Obama has more experience than Clinton. Why would Obama ever have a liar for his VP?

Hillary is just bad news and scares everyone.

I cannot believe that this is being brought up again. I think Pelosi must have some kind of impairment. What is not to understand. No one wants to see Obama and Hillary on the same ticket. Especially not Obama and Hillary.

PS: Hillary is not the devil, is not bringing down the democratic party, and does not have to listen to the stupid remarks about her. Obama is not going to do anything "wonderful" now or later, so get off of your soap box Obama supporters. If he really had what it takes, he WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT BY NOW.

Actualy an Obama/Hillary ticket would work. Hillary would have to be the VP though. Her Socialist Health Care plan has already been rejected by the voters and would drive away votes.

honestly hillary cliton she is too desperate, obama can"t work with her anyway i can""t imagine her character to her husband at home if she can go negative in public,like this please AMERICAN should be careful four desperate candidate .

Pelosi reminds me of one of those old ladies who keeps repeating the same story. She needs to just shut up because nobody wants to listen to her. She should step down from house majority leader.

Originally, I actually voted for Hillary in the CA primaries with the idea of the "ideal" ticket being Hillary/Obama. Obama could take over in 8 years after getting his sea legs.

Then, the more I listened to Obama, and watched his ability to bring people together I realized he was the best choice as the president who would lead us out of these dark times. But, I started toying with the idea of Hillary being VP. Obama would be the leader, the visionary, the voice, and HC would basically do the day to day stuff and give Obama the time to really unite.

Then, I heard Hillary proclaim that we would "obliterate" Iran if it moved on Israel...and I watched her start with the kitchen sink, then move onto the stove, the fridge, the microwave, all the silverware, and how I hear she's ripping out the plumbing.

Obama should pick his own VP. Hillary, you've worn out your welcome in my book. By the time this is over, she may have difficulty getting back her senate seat.
Sad...

Actualy an Obama/Hillary ticket would work. Hillary would have to be the VP though. Her Socialist Health Care plan has already been rejected by the voters and would drive away votes.

These two names should not be on the same ticket. He has not the experience or the integrity to be Vice President. Hillary is very intelligent, experienced, and loves the American people!

The truth is hard...She repeated it several times, so that no body will think she mis spoke.
Hillary should not be rewarded for her negativity and for dividing the democratic party.

Pelosi nailed it
Independent

Bottom line Senator Pelosi. Senator Obama does not have the experience needed for be President. He is a very young senator w/o an established voting record. His voting record while an Illinois Senator is shaky at best. Who knows what he really believes? Black/white, male/female. Senator Obama does not get my vote. We've had eight years of far right attitudes. I do not think this country needs 4-8 years of far left attitdues. I believe a lot of moderate Democrats will not vote of Obama. They either will not vote or they will vote for McCain. So the Democratic National Party needs to be careful on what they wish for. It's Senator's Clinton or McCain from this long life Democrat.

Obama couldn't use hillary since he has run on a new kind of politics platform. She would poison him. Maybe McCain will ask her since they seem to be seeing eye to eye lately.

Nancy Pelosi has been a huge disappointment to most Democrats. We had such high hopes that she was going to make a difference for this country. We hardly hear a peep out of her until she has inappropriately gotten involved now in the primary process. She shouldn't be giving her opinion on this at this time, or putting a damper on a selection of a president-vice president ticket.

It actually would be very unfortuante if either Clinton or Obama didn't consider the other for a running partner, given the fact that this is such a close election. Either way, the Democrats should see that they are both great leaders, and at least 1/2 of the country is going to be very disappointed if the vice president position isn't even offered to the other. Then, the person it is offered to, has the ball in their court, and can decide whether or not he/she wants to accept it. This election is never going to a landlslide, although one side at this time is trying to make it appear that way, as well as the media.

I think it's too late for any winning ticket. I think the democrats gave the white house away to the republicans on tuesday arpil 22. Too much to late. Mc. Cain is gaining ground and the democrats are bashing each other. It's very sad.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton don't even like each other. How could they ever serve as president and vice president? Obama does not participate in the "back stabbing" and vicious attacks that are so common to Hillary's campaign. Furthermore, I believe that Obama would like honesty in his administration.

I would not vote for ANY ticket on which ANY Clinton name appears for ANY reason. They are the most dispicable excuse for human beings I have ever seen.

I like Pelosi because she keep it real Hillary is not to be trusted I would love Pelosi to be Obama VP mate she will be good

Obama/Pelosi
secretary state Richardson
Hillary maid at the White House
Gore enviromental
Bill Clinton White House doorman

Obama stated in an interview with Time Magazine in Feb 2006 that he WOULD NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT IN 2008.

So exactly what is he doing other than tearing apart the Democratic party? The "so-called uniter" is nothing of the sort.

Would not vote for a ticket that had Obama or Pelosi on it. This woman is a fool!

Obama has a right to pick his own Vice President just like Bill Clinton picked his own. I contribute funds to Obama's campaign only and if anybody tries to shove anything different down voters throats it will be legally dangerous. Somebody has got to lose so they might as well accept it and move on. Obama for President.

I have heard a most distressing report by a young man on the ground in Philly last Tuesday – Madame Pelosi should investigate the fact that there may have been sabotage at the voting places with many people turned away and machines broken. The only paper ballots available had Hillary Clinton's name only and no place for a Barack Obama vote. Someone should expose this fraud

Independents- crossover voters- young people..trust, morals, character... That is a leader!!!

As opposed to a liar, thief, co-dependent who has blown $120 million and stiffed the small vendors.-like clinton. A person that 50% of democrats and 60% of republicans recoil from!

Obama does not need to have this kind of morally bankrupt person on the ticket...and I doubt he would want to deal with the clinton wildcard"Bill'.

Dear Nancy, Thanks to the prolonged Democratic Race, Obama will
never win another Primary and he will lose by a lot. The Republicans
plan on attacking Obama starting with "billionaire funded smear ads"
beginning in N.C. and Ind. and secure a win for Hilldog. The Reps.
want "her" in the election. She will not win. She will not be able to
control the "debates" like she screwed Obama with. The mudslinging
will be so thick towards Hillary that she won't get a chance to speak or defend herself.
If the Democrats lose this race, our country is screwed and if Obama
starts losing, Hillary will never be able to stand up to "the Reps. dirt
on her and Bill. I think we lost already because Hillary will win in
Ind and N.C. because of the ruthless "smear ads. Look for yourself
on ABC topic on Jake Tappin Ads. WE LOST NANCY!!!!!

I have voted for the Democratic nominee for President in each election since Carter. If Obama is the nominee, I will vote for McCain. I believe that experience is important. Since all politicians say what they believe the voters want to hear, you never know what they will do except by judging what they have done in the past. Clinton and McCain have shown that they are willing to work with others and they have made it clear what they truly believe in; Obama has done nothing except make speeches to advance his political career. I recognize he has not been in Congress long enough to do much but why did he vote for that energy bill. How can anyone judge what he will do if elected–my view is that he will be ineffective at best. I also believe that there are more skeletons in Obama's closet that we will not know about until October.

I absolutely agree, any degree of Hillary's involvement in Obama's presidential bid is bad news.

OBAMA '08

I think we need an Obama/Strickland ticket or a Clinton/Strickland ticket.

Florida is OUT OF REACH for dems this november so there is no point in even trying it. What the dems need is Hillary's plan-Gore plus One more. If they can get Ohio..... i figure its pretty each to win.

Strickland is both a Gov of Ohio and was an ex-representative. He is widely liked in the state and hopefully he is considered as i think him on the ticket is what the dems need

Too much bad blood between them, What guarantee Hillary supporters or Obama supporters would support the ticket anyway,esp if their candidate is not on top of the ticket.

"Nancy Pelosi has made it clear she thinks Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama should run together on a joint ticket this fall."

Shouldn't this read "should NOT run"?

NO OBAMA AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama = No Change We Can Count On.. He wouldn't win...
Hillary has a better shot against McCain then Obama. Pelosi shouldn't talk about what others should do when all she kept talking about was ending the war in Iraq while her and all the other Democrats caved in to Bush keeping us there.

Pelosi seems to have her own power agenda in play. Block Clinton and tangle herself as a VP candidate with the California Electoral Vote as the bait.

Pelosi in my opinion is the "Joke" of the Democrat party. I pay very little attention to what she says or does. Don't know how she made it to the postion she has!

Pelosi what is her problem.It's not about what she wants. She's prooving to be a very undemocratic patronizing person. I used to think she was a nice change,so far she's the worst speaker i've seen. she should really stay out of the primaries, it's not about what she likes or want. It's what the people want. We need leaders who will fight for what people want, not the reverse.

I don't want a joint ticket either!

Actually, I want Hillary put out of the race once and for all. Her kind of politics are decietful and unwanted. The bigoted elderly white people of PA had a golden ticket to send her home but no, they had to let the ignorance continue.

Let the REAL blue collar workers have their say. Obama won 11 / 12 straight victories..he could sweep again.

Obama 2008

PA was a 9 point win not a 10. Senator Clinton did not resch the double digit win she needed to get. Way to go Senator Obama. Taking a 20+ point lead and reducing it enough to stop her dead in her tracks. The tide is turning but not in her favor!!!!

Pelosi really needs to shut up. No one cares what she thinks, and I for one will not give one more cent to the Democratic House Campaign Committee (and perhaps even to the Democratic Party) because of comments like these. Butt out!

Pelosi is as arrogant as the person she supports, Obama. I wish she would stick with her speaker-of-the-house position and stay out of either campaign.

Neither do I speaker Pelosi. A President needs to be able to trust his (or) her Vice President or at the very least there needs to be mutual respect. It's clear Senator Clinton has neither for Senator Obama. Plus, given her "suicide bomber" behavior she would not be the person I would want to have my back. I heard one of the pundents say the other day that in the case of a Obama/Clinton ticket, Senator Obama would need a full time food taster. If he gets the nod he needs to choose someone else.

Those of you criticizing Pelosi for talking about this, it's because the moronic Hillary supporters keep asking. They're off in a fantasy land, and that land is vast and full of such impossible scenarios.

If Pelosi wants the Democrat party to win back the white house, she should support the idea of dream ticket. It seems she doesn't like Hillary Clinton at all. Is she jealous?

I think Hillary would make a great Vice-President. But Barack's good instincts and talents would be wasted as a vice-president because we all know Bill Clinton will be the vice anyway and its unlikely she would listen to him on foreign policy – which is where we need him the most.

Sorry, once again the dimocrats, instead of their belief that they have 2 good candidates, have nominated 2 more losers. It is already documented that mre than 50% of the country hates HRC, nothing will change that and EVERY time Obama Hussein opens his mouth, he disses ANOTHER group be it whites, small town blue collars and now seniors. Which of these two are uniters....neither can unite even the dimocrats let alone the country. So instead of a landslide, they will likely lose the GE.....and blame EVERYBODY but their won stupid selves.

INCREDIBLE

peter...you up there in the number 1 spot.

PA did have a large number of independents and republicans switch over. a lot of them...and we now see the results.

i would say that your one vote doesn't prove the case...and PA kinda shows that. so don't be so sure if you really only have opinion to go on.

I do not believe the independents and converts will follow if Hillary is the nominee. When she is trying to overturn the will on the people she has done the math no way for her to win

Pelosi stood by and watched FL and MI taken out.
Obama stood by and refused to work out a re-vote.
He has some powerful puppets in his pocket.

I am tired of Obama's sneaking around, while putting on a phoney smile on stage. Hillary's crime is to say what she thinks. At least i know where she stands.

Keep fighting Hillary, don't listen to the Obama pupets. This cult needs to end. Or move to Texas – maybe the FLDS property will come up for sale.

She is the most powerful women in the Country and she can't control her own party !! So much for her leadership skills.

Just another bitter b... that doesn't want another woman with more power than her.

No doubt about it Hillary is a " -itch on wheels. " Why does anybody think that Obama would want to deal with this lying woman. She lies for no reson. She lies when the truth will do. This would be a nightmare ticket..

No Hillary in OBAMA Presidency. She is just too much of a Devil.

She wants the presidency by all means. Unfortunately for her the TRAIN HAS LONG LEFT. What we are hearing now is JUST THE ECHOS.

My fear is that she may just succeed in tearing the DEM Party Down that will eventually lead to their defeat in the fall.

What folks need to really understand is there is much more going on in the backrooms regarding this election than meets the eye. Nancy is trying to let you slow people really know what going on.
HRC knows she is not going to win the nomination therefore she is looking a head toward being the head of the Senate.
The new tactics of throwing the sink at Obama is so, all the closet skeletons are out before the General election so that, when the GOP throws it out, it will be old news!!
Obama wil be picking some one a little older and from a Red state as his running mate!!!
Nancy is trying to ensure that the Democrats gain a majority in the House and Senate.

Um, Nancy, maybe somebody should have told you that YOUR OPINION IS IRRELEVANT on this issue? Who cares what you don't want to see? Some people, believe it or not, don't want to see YOU! Or hear your opinion...because you're clearly a biased Obama supporter

What's the matter Pelosi? Scared of the competition? Think Senator Clinton will outshiine you??? Or is it that Barack speaks closer to your left wing agenda and Hillary is more centrist?

I agree....don't need a joint ticket. This two people after the last month of kitchen sink are different. Clinton will muddy the water for Obama on his approaching at governing and Obama will be like Powell was in Bush Whitehouse....probably sent out to lie on TV. Pelosi is very right

I agree, it is not a good idea.

I agree Praetorian, Fort Myers

To think that she is just a pretzel and a heart attack away is pretty crazy.

She should worry about her own failed leadership – the pot calling the kettle black! Nancy Pelosi has been a waste!

She knows that Hillary and Bill will Stab Barak in the Back the First chance they get, The Democratic Party is Tired of the Clintons, They are REPUBLICANS anyway. Also she remebers when UNDER BILL THE DEM"S LOST THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE UNDER THE CLINTON CIRCUS PRES. WHY ANY DEMOCRAT WITH A 2ND GRADE EDUCATION WOULD WANT TO KEEP LYING DOWN WITH CLINTONS IS UNREAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOVE ON DEMOCRATS THEY ARE CANCER TO THIS PARTY LET THEM GO!!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING FOR THIS NATION OR PARTY BUT BRING IT SHAME AND LIES !!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA / PELOSI 08,12

I think that this woman want to be the VP of the nomine, obama or clinton it doesn't matter for her

Who cares what she thinks? I don't.

Here in the South where I live, the same people who wouldn't vote for a black man aren't likely to vote for a woman, either.

My fondest wish: Obama/Richardson '08!!

There is NO way Senator Obama would choose Hillary as his running mate. She is divisive, untrustworthy and a lying skank. Plus she would think it is her job to answer the 3 am phone. Please NC send Hillary back to New York where she belongs and so Bill can get therapy. That guy is senile. Plus does Chelsea have a job or is it just show? If she has a job she needs to go back to work. I am very tired of all the Clintons. They are annoying and dangerous.

I'd prefer that Clinton not on any ticket anywhere.

My choice of a leader is not one who lies and divides.

She is not the only one who does not want to see that ticket. So why act so surprise

I don't understand her position frankly. Clinton has proved already that she can work with anyone in the Senate, why should this be any different. I do think Obama would have a harder time asking her to be his VP but I think he should anyway. VP's don't really have much to do with the president and she could provide alot of "know how" that he still does not have.

Thank god for that. I do not see that partnership working.

I wish people would stop trying to bully others into voting one way or another. For all those that don't know there political history and think just because a candidate is good with independents qualifies them as a better candidate – the reason why the superdelegate system is in place is to ensure that switch-over voters and independent voters who might not have the BEST interest of the democratic party in mind – the superdelegates are there to vote who they think would be the best for The Democratic Party. That is the reason why Pelosi is so against the combo ticker cause SHE knows it would not be good for the democratic party. Now stop asking her the question.

Hillary 08

Does anybody REALLY believe she will make a good president? Look at HOW she has run her campaign.....we need someone with VISION, WISDOM, and JUDGEMENT. Obama is trying NOT to destroy the Democratic Party while he fights for votes.
Obama/Edwards08 Si Se Puede

I Would Love for hillary to come out on top and Win the Primary. Then I would Love to have Hillary pick Barrack as Her running Mate for November. The only thing is I highly doubt Barrack would settle for V.P., especially under a Female, and he would in actualality be the one to divide the party. On there other hand If he wom the Primary I highly doubt he would even pick her as His running mate, this in light of the fact that it would be the Most Strongest ticket and virtually a slam dunk to beat McCain.

The House Speaker did not think that the superdelegates should vote their conscience either!!!

I agree with Nancy. I would worry about Senator Obama's safety if Hillary were the Vice President.

She's insane. Its the only viable answer to this mess. She just doen't want Hillary to overshadow her.

I prefer HIllary over BIG MOUTH PELOSI!!!!!!

I agree with Senator Pelosi. No disrespect intended but I do not trust Senator Clinton.

Having Hillary on the ticket as a VP doesn't win anything. And, she'd probably undermine him. The Clinton's are just selfish, they preach loyalty, not unity.

Pelosi is a thinly veiled Obama supporter. What she is doing is telling the superdelegates to get over it, it’s not going to happen, so get on with making a choice between the two of them and quit wasting time.

because of her dishonesty i could never vote for billary even for dog
catcher. iwant someone i can be proud not ashamed of

Nancy...you go girl!! You just go ahead and act like the typical democrat and fantasize that these two democratic clowns can now just work together after acting like the two worst 2 year olds running for the US presidency EVER SEEN IN US HISTORY!!!

How shameful!!

For the first time in this campaign ....I agree with Mrs. Pelosi.

O-Waffle Man would not be good for the Democratic party and would weigh Hillary down with his whining and arrogant demeanor!!

Clinton / Edwards......now THAT is a WINNING ticket!!

Should or shouldn't? your article is written wrong.

I fully agree! At first I was so excited about the 2 and wished they would have a joint ticket, but after the way Clinton conducted herself, I cannot stand her and would definately not want her anywhere near Obama's presidency.

Are you all crazy or just plain stupid!! Know one will cross their party lines come November. Just because things are not happening your way, you cry like babies. I'm going to do this if this goes this way. Grow up you idiots. This is not an election until both parties have a candidate. You shouldn't be voting if it's all about you. Shame on the lot of you.

Please remember that Hillary's votes are augmented by Rush Limbaugh's very successful "Operation Chaos". -Barack has been at a disadvantage because he's one man battling two separate fronts.

(btw, The Republicans are supporting Clinton because they know how to bring her down...)

It would be a bad move for Barack to attach the Clinton's baggage to his campaign. Kathleen Sebelius would be a better choice- she has experience and is baggage-free. Bill Richardson would be great too.

She is absolutly real.. she knows exactly why.. and the why is that no media are talking about it!!!!!!!!

A joint ticket won't happen because the republicans will bring up Castro's comment that a Clinton/Obama, or Obama/Clinton ticket would be unbeatable, and point to the notion that that is a clear example of where democratic loyalties really lie, with socialist goals.

It would be appalling for Obama to even consider HRC as his VP. She is absolutely the most untrustworthy person I have ever encountered. Why in the world did PA support this woman the way they did I will never know. Im so tired of the whole democratic campaign. It is becoming very discouraging for us to believe there is still a possibility of a Democratic President. The DMC needs to make a decision and quick. Americans are tired of all of this unnecessary money being wasted on a campaign that should have been decided a long time ago.

OBAMA08

Obama is no longer a viable candidate!

Even on the tickect as a VP he is still a proven Anti-American and would loose the race for us!

If the Democrats were smart from the beginning, Senator Clinton should be the nominee and after the convention in Dever announce Senator Obama as her running mate for VP. That's the way I had envisioned it, not knowing at that point that Obama was actually going to run in 08'. I thought he was going to run at a later point because he was a junior Senator and on 46 years old. Clinton and Obama could have occupied the White House for the next 16 years! So much for that idea.

i believe a joint ticket is "The dream ticket" there is no way the DEMS would lose if that was the case, I am a Hillary supporter and if she doesnt win I wont vote or maybe I will take a look at McCain but if Obama would put Clinton as VP I definitely vote for him.
I dont know why Pelosi is saying this dont they always say they have to do what's best for the party and maybe this is what is best.

Can't help thinking that instead of being neutral Ms. Pelosi is full of bovine fecal matter.

I hope ms. Pelosi realizes just how furious we are at her for turning the democratic party into a daily-kos,move-on, code pink, radical form of hate! She needs to step down...

it could get posted..maybe?

Can't Nancy just keep her mouth shut!

Pelosi is fine.

Can't Nancy jsut keep her mouth shut!

Ms. Nancy must have some inside information, OR is she holding out for a VP offer from Obama? For someone who has overwhelmingly "claimed" to be holding her commitment of her super duper vote, she is overt in her support for Junior.
Seriously, I agree with the earlier blogger, I fear that she is the third in line for the job already. A Nancy Pelosi VP on an Obama ticket would make me dig a fall out bunker in my back yard. Shivers......

and for the 4th time , Nancy has said the same thing....... How about doing some work on Capital Hill. That's why you got elected.

AS A DEMOCRAT, I AM VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED IN PELOSI. SHE WANTS OBAMA TO BE THE NOMINEE AND SHE CANNOT IMAGINE THAT HE WILL NOT. OF COURSE, THEY WILL NOT BE TOGETHER ON THE DEM. TICKET. THAT IS TERRIBLE TO EVEN THINK. SEN. CLINTON IS THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE ON THE DEM. TICKET, NO MATTER WHAT YOU OTHERS SAY. TRY AND THINK WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO HAVE A WHITE/BLACK ARABIAN-AMERICAN AS OUR LEADER. HOW MUCH FUN DO YOU THINK THE REST OF THE WORLD WOULD THINK ABOUT US THEN? WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE OF MANY OF OUR "USED TO BE ALLIES" AND WHAT FUN IT WOULD BE FOR THEM TO POINT FINGERS AT US ABOUT THAT? WHAT WE NEED IS SOMEONE WHO CAN BRING OUT ALLIES BACK TO US. AFTER THE PAST 7 YEARS WE HAVE LOST TOO MANY OF THEM. I DON'T THINK OBAMA COULD POSSIBLY DO THAT. I MIGHT ADD, HE IS THE MOST ARRAGANT PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN., HE LOOKS DOWN HIS NOSE AT EVERYONE THAT DOESN'T AGREE WITH HIM.

Nancy Pelosi really should step down. She refused to impeach Bush, and continues to give him money for a war that is bankrupting us. But she'll offer her advice on the VP slot?

I think Pelosi is a Billary wannabe!

If she's right, be prepared for George III. Unless both of them are on the ticket, we, the Democrats, are going to lose.

Say all the nasty things you want about the Democrat you hate; someone else is saying equally equally nasty things about your Democrat. Just as determined as you are not to vote for theirs, they, likewise, are determined not to vote for yours.

Obama/Clinton '08
...or visa versa

WHY do people keep asking her the same question over and over and over and over again!!!!!!!!????? Jesus give it a rest.

Nancy, you are right. I would not vote for any ticket with Hillary on it

i think if obama wins he should pick Katherine Sibelius form kansas as Vice president, and Hillary should pick John Edwards if she wins.

Obama should forget Hillary all together for vice president. She is untrustworthy and her character is highly questionable. I think that to satisfy Hillary' s supporters, he should pick Nancy Pelosi as his vice. She has intelligence, clout in the party, and tons more experience than Hillary!

The problem is Obama might have to put her on the ticket just to undo the damage she has caused the democratic party.

Good! I don't blame Obama. I wouldn't want to be in the same building with her!

This race is over and have been for some time! Pack it up Hillary!

Go Obama!

That the stockpiling of oil reserves is a bad thing and is screaming at president bush for saving in times of an emergency.

Yes, the prices are high, but this is not an emergency, like when there is no more oil type of emergency, which is why there is a reserve, or like when we are invaded by a foreign power, we have that oil reserve.

Once again, a great metaphor for this great country. Instead of saving what's important, we are blasting our leader for not spending it fast enough. That goes for your retirement and house payments and everything else.

SAVE YOUR RESERVES UNTIL YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE... Pelosi, IMO, is a complete waste of breath and waste of political talent.

Speaker Pelosy is a loser.She shouldnot get another chance.
Go Hillary.
Thomas Koshy

Pelosi we knoe you are supporting Obama . you are even dividing us like Obama is doing just go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't we focus on the big remaining issue that no one is addressing? Seat FLORIDA and MICHIGAN, folks. We need to resolve that issue, and now. Those people voted and their votes should be counted. The fact that the state legislatures there [Republican in FL] changed the rules should not disenfranchise the Democratic primary voters in those states.

Pelosi is on the bus for Obama. She needs to get off and lie in front of it.

I've been sick of Pelosi!
Wake up people! She wants to be Obama's VP! Can't anybody tell it? I can't believe she gave a clear hint the FOURTH time. She knows Hillary won't pick her, but Obama would, for women's votes.

Pelosi is on the bus for Obama. She needs to get off and lie in fron of it.

I think joint ticket is the only solution.

I believe a Obama – Richardson ticket would be dynamic!

I don't think anyone would doubt that the delegate heavy states of CA and NY are going to go along with most of the Eastern sea board and Pacific Northwest to whoever the Democratic contenders are.

To throw Richardson into the mix as the candidate for VP you make a excellent play for NV, NM, AZ, and TX with their strong Latino votes.

While Obama has won many traditionally republican dominated states in the primary, he has done so with a host of new voters, and switch over repuplicans. Being originally from NE I and up until recently a republican, I believe that there a combination of the democratic base, new and crossover voters, the latino vote, and republicans who are looking for something different than we've experienced the last 8 years will give Obama and Richardson more than a shot at taking traditionally republican states in the general election.

obama/polosi

yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

lol she wants to be the vp....

Rep. Sheila Jackson, Houston TX. is an excellent V.P. Candidate as Hillary's running Mate! She's another Female with a lot of Savvy !
Sheila is a definite compliment to the Democratic Party; Plus Your Looking for Change, Look No Further.

I don't think that would be a good idea. The way Hillary has tried to destroy Obama, how can they ever work that close together. If was Obama, (which seems to be the nominee or should be anyway) I would not select anyone that wanted to be president as bad as Hillary. Who know what else she would be if she makes it that close. After all, she is willing to bring the entire party down and cause Fla and MI to vote republican in November to have her way. She knows the elected officials of those two states should be blamed for the mess they have caused.

We know Nancy, we know. Don't you have work to do?

We heard you the first time!
And you are still correct

Don't be mislead by the crossover vote. This was only for the primary and McCain had already secured the nomination.

Can you just see Hillary and Obama on the same ticket? One scares half the electorate the other the other half. It would be like pitting Penn State agains the New England Patriots. A blow out.

GOOD! Nobody wants another liar in the Whitehouse! Obama don't need the Clintons to destroy his presidency.

Only Reason that Won't Happen is Because YOU want that Job, right, Pelosi? Feeling threatened by a viable canidate for the presidency as a female, huh?

good!we can't have liars,running on a message of hope.

Ok,
We heard it the first time, we heard it the 2nd time, we heard it the 3rd time so for heaven's sake we get the point!! No joint ticket – Let's move on!
good grief

I hope to God she's right. I would never vote for a ticket any which way with Obama's name on it.

NoObama Never

Mrs. Polosi, who wants everything , but do not have all credentials that he heeds for this very , very important job will get anything.
That will be our choice!

Finally, she makes a good qualifier to these answers!!
I agree with her if it is coming from what she said about Illinois and NY being Dem states.
put that way, she doesn't sound:
fanatical
self-promoting fro VP (her state, CA is also a Dem state)

No room for Obama on Hillary's ticket, Bill is on it

I hope Hillary doesnt pick OBAMA

OBAMA is a WIMP!!!!!!!!!!!

just another hearts and daisies peace loving Liberal

Ms. Pelosi just realized that to win in November you need Clinton as nominee with Obama Vice President. Big swing States such Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan etc. , are a must win and with a ticket Clinton/Obama we can have a majority in congress and senate and a chance to do some good for the country.
Hillary08

Hillary is trying to knee-cap Obama; the fact that he has hard knee-caps and a lot of heart doesn't mean that the superdelegats shouldn't find some gumption right about now.

Is it me or should the first line of this story read "For at least the fourth time in a little more than a month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made it clear she thinks Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama should NOT run together on a joint ticket this fall." This is due to poor editing and proof reading

Does she know something we don't. Has Barak already promised the second banana position to Pelosi. Would not suprise me at all.

Birds of a feather hang together.

That will also allow us to take care of two Leftist at the same time.

Two for one, not a bad deal.

I hate that woman. The Congress has done a lot of work on her watch, NOT.

I do not want to see that monster on the ticket with Obama! Our republic is better than that!

Obama is definitely NOT picking Hillarious for the veepee ticket!

Can you imagine Bill Clinton running his diarrhea mouth on everything in the White House.
If Hillybilly can't 'quarantine' Bill, who can?

Not this time – Billarious, Not for President, Not for Veepee!

GO OBAMA!!!!

Google Clinton to see what the Republicans are saving for Hillary.

Any ticket with Obama would be a nightmare.

As a Democrate I hope Nancy Pelosi loses her position, the dems have become a joke , thanks to her and Howard Dean.

We just hope Clinton wins.

Why?

because of the two, she is the more experienced.

And Obama slammed the prople of Pennsylvania.

We doubt they will join after the nomination.

Strongely for Hillary

WELL THEN:
Stubborn politcians.
CONGRATULATE McBush

Our next President.

Peter from Oregon, I'm in the same boat. I've always voted Republican but have switched over for Obama. I disagree with both McCain and Clinton on some issues, but I'm so sick of being cynical about my country's commander-in-chief – never knowing what is a truth, half-truth or outright lie. Given the choice between McCain and Clinton, I'd have to go for McCain.

I think Pelosi has no grasp on the thought process of the ordinary American.

Both Clinton and Obama are democrats. Both want the democratic party to win the election. Pelosi makes it sound like back -door political wrangling is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than the basic fact the democratic voters WANT THEM BOTH.

Pelosi doesnt seem to get the fact the american voter is far more important than the political ambitions within the party, or Pelosi's mind games or anything else.

If Clinton and Obama AGREE to be on the same ticket, Mc Cain has no chance.

Pelosi aarogantly thinks it doesnt MATTER. The dems will win anyways with 50% of their voters angry.

First, if HRC were president, Obama would be secluded in some room with nothing to do so all glory goes to her and Bill.

Second, if Obama were president with HRC at number 2 (which she will never agree to), Obama would have to have food and drink testers on the job all the time!

Come on Indiana, North Carolina, Oregon, et al, give Hillary the break she so desparately needs!

Her Royal Clintoness tires easily, causing her to lie about her name, her daughter and 9/11, Bosnia sniper fire, Rose Law Firm files, opposing the pre-emptive war with Iraq before she voted for the bill, how she made a lot of money on Wall street, her brothers being paid to get pardons, opposing NAFTA, accepting "donations" greater than the legal limit from Peter Paul, …

Giver her a gift – time off!

She needs to take a nice, long vacation and get some rest.

Obama '08

IN OTHER WORDS. CLINTON IS JUST HANGING OUT. MAYBE SHE IS RAISING MONEY TO PAY OFF HER DEBT.

As Democrats, why do we care what this woman has to say? She can't tell Clinton or Obama who their vice-presidential candidate should be. Just stay out of the news. We have enough going on already with this crap.

I do not understand this stupid woman!

Can she shut up her mounth for 1 day?

DEMOCRATS VOTING FOR MCCAIN IF OBAMA WINS NOMINATION UP TO 35%.

"And there’s plenty of talent to go around to draw upon for a good, strong ticket"? Exactly who in the Democratic party fits this discription and where are they hiding???

Honestly, Madam Speaker, we heard you the first time....She seems pro-Obama...maybe she thinks he'll put her on the ticket. Another Mondale-Ferraro scenario.

If Hillary is on the ticket, VP or P, I vote republican. Obama would have to sleep with one eye open, have a food tester and extra secret service to protect himself from Clinton if she were the VP.

Peter from Oregon, thank you for your comment. a reflection of what i have been saying. sorry that you left the republican party, since it is OK to be a republican and vote for what is best for the country (Obama) and not the party. I am an orthodox republican and will vote for Obama and not McCain since Obama is what is best for the country but God forbid it is Hillary then it will be McCain, and McCain, and McCain. what Hill spporters do not know is that what really breaks my heart is that if Bush as bad as he is and as dumb is he is, is allowed to run for a 3rd time and it is against Hillary then I will vote for him and then commit suicide after that rather than seeing the liar Hill in office.

OMG, Obama would never pick Clinton. She's doing more to destroy Democratic chances at victory than John McCain. Maybe McCain will choose her for his VP. That would make more sense.

Sorry......did someone leave this decision up to Nancy Pelosi?????

And who died and made her the DemocRATic Goddess?? Is she trying to bid for the VP position?

SHUT UP NANCY!!! You're not running for President, so you have no say in the matter.

If Obama wins he can't possibly pick Hillary because she's proven to be the embodyment of everything he's fighting to change in Washington.

If Clinton wins she can't possibly take Obama because she's been so negative about him.

Republican's don't even need to film attach adds on Obama they are just going to use hers.

I thought this was obvious by now?

Hillary who? I thought she was long gone after she failed to blow out Obama in Pennsylvania which is what she needed to have a chance at catching him.

I wouldn't want to se Clinton be the VP at a small convenince store in Arkansas-or at least I sure wouldn't shop in the store. The lady is a liar-plain and simple......

This lady is as bad as the Rev. Wright story... she needs to go sit in the Senate and keep her mouth shut...

I think these two stories have answered Jack's question about why Obama can not close the deal... Rev. Wright will stir up anger and race with white voters... Pelosi is going to continue to scare the superdelegates and cause them to stay uncommitted

Maybe if Pelosi focused on her day job, more than trying to rig the nomination for Obama, women would have equal pay legislation today.

Get back to work Pelosi!

There's definitely an error in this posting, but it can be taken from the title and the general content that the first sentence should read "For at least the fourth time in a little more than a month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made it clear she thinks Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama SHOULDN'T run together on a joint ticket this fall."

====Vote Smart , Vote Obama====

After this race and all of the BS that went along with it how could you even want a joint ticket between the two? Had we stayed positive it wouldnt have been a bad idea but I think too much damage has been done betwee the two.

I used to think so too. Now I believe that the negative campaigning has polarized each other's base that the only way to prevent party defection is to have a joint ticket of Obama and Hillary. Sorry Pilosi. You should not be on this ticket.

NOOOOOOOOO!
No joint ticket! Hillary is already 'BOUGHT' and controlled by the special interest and lobbyst!! She's tainted! Scarred! Old News!
She would be like a Mark Penn in Obama's administration ~ Slime!
She would prob lay the ground work to bump him off just to get to the top spot! I would NOT be surprised!
No Way!!
No How!!

OBAM PELOSI would make a good joint ticket. That is if Mz PELOSI agrees.

"For at least the fourth time in a little more than a month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made it clear she thinks Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama should run together on a joint ticket this fall."

There is an error in that sentence. An obvious one.

Does anyone proof read these reports? Th title says no, the first sentence says they should? What is it? Jeeezzz!

Lets just say with the Peter Paul v. Hilary Clinton date setting coming tomorrow that she might be detained by November anyways.

Nancy Pelosi needs to mind her own business and focus on making sure that Democrats not only keep their majority in the fall, but gain more seats. She should not be commenting on this.

Hillary messed this up. She had to get nasty and go negative that there is no way Senator Obama would choose her for his running mate. Besides if he did choose her, he would probably have to watch his back every moment of the day. That woman is vicious!

OBAMA 08,12

DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE GAS AND FOOD PRICE ,YOU CRAZY FOOL.

I am confused! A joint ticket could be the end to this mess!

Cant we all just get along!

Pelosi must be getting a deal here!

She got it right. It will never happen. After all of Hillary's back stabbing, cutthroat tactics, Obama is never going to put her on his ticket and it is clearly going to be his ticket and if the nomination is stolen from him and given to Hillary, he is never going to take second place to her.

Good, I won't vote for LIAR or a person I don't trust – on the Ticket..

Hillary is a bad example for women in politics..

If their is going to be a Republican on my voting ticket it will not have the name HIllary Rodem Clinton on it..

Yes.. We.. Can..

I agree with Senator Pelosi. How can Senator Obama select Hillary Clinton after all the negative news or evil things Hillary Clinton have done against him? I hope he does not select her. She is a spoiler and destroyer.

Wow after 4 times she still doesn't get it. I guess that is why the house has gotten so much done under her leadership.

Wow after 4 times she still doesn't get it. I guess that is why the house has gotten so much done under her leadership.

CNN - I really hope you cashed the check before you put Hillary's link on your page. What happened to the Unbiased press.

Please post this. I am sure you won't though.

Is she trying to position herself for the job?

Should or shouldn't? Your article is confusing.

Seriously people...would you want to work with someone like Hillary every day?

I do believe that she would create a "hostile work environment"

No thanks.

Everything that Obama wants to do would be undermine by Hillary. She just needs to go home.

Why do we keep asking her this question?

God...to think that this woman is the third in line to the Presidency is enough to keep me awake at night!!!

Maybe she was in on the Fix, of Michigan and Florida... What exactly is Promide to Her in the Shake Up...

I would ask both Clinton and Obama supporters to ask which candidate is most capable of picking up the independent and switch-over republican votes this fall?

We have seen record numbers of independents and republicans switching parties in PA, OR and countless other states to ba able to take part in this election. It is widely accepted that most of these cross overs and first time voters are casting their ballet for Obama (i know I am as a recently converted republican to democrat).

While the mainstream democratic base will most likely pull themselves together in the fall and vote for whomever wins the nomination, I do not believe the independents and converts will follow if Hillary is the nominee.

HIllary, the way she has run her campaign (not saying that Obama is blameless) provokes an inherent negative reaction in those of us who have reently joined the Democratic party. If she is the nominee in the fall you will see some of us vote for McCain, but you will also see many more vote AGAINST Hillary.

A vote for Hillary in the primaries is going to equal 2 votes against her in the fall.
