George in FL, thank you for your honesty. It goes a long way to explain to some of the folks who want to say that African-Americans are racist for voting so heavily for Obama. What these folks don't understand is that African-Americans liked Hillary and Obama about the same, and that their policies are almost identical, but that if faced with a choice, some but not all would go ahead and give Obama the benefit of the doubt if for no other reason than folks like you who would not. Then comments made by Bill and now Hillary sealed that deal. Yet even through all of that, most would still vote for her if she got the nom just to stay with the dem party. Can you say the same?

I can't believe anyone but frustrated feminist could vote for Hillary

To Venus: Get your panties out of a knot!! Its people like you that are making us Clinton supporters defect to McCain. Dont be mad because the Clinton supporters do not share your views of Obama!! We dont care about him and we dont care about you!! Stop being so "SPRUNG" on this man. Get a life.

Hillary or Bust!!
or
Hillary or McCain!!

The old saying:

How do you remember your original objective was to drain the swamp when you are up to your 'fanny' in alligators????

Clinton, and those of us supporting her, know she IS focused on the present FOR REAL REASONS i.e., problems that MUST be dealt with, very directly and right now!

Obama comes to us with "ignore the alligators, they are a mirage", don't focus on the present, look to the FUTURE …..HOPE your way out of the swamp.

Nomination to Clinton, for OUR sake…our being AMERICA, unqualified by racial references….we are all in here together folks!

Vote CLINTON '08

Pretty funny how Chris calls Obama supporeter hateful as she calls for HRC running as an independent. Anyone else find that a but "emotional"

Hillary Supporters that won't vote for Sen.Obama

Come on folks,

The two canidates have similar positions on just about every significant issue. Do we really want things to chage, if we want a shift in policy from our leaders, we need to grow up. Do you realize how idiotic that sounds, "If Hillary doesn't get the nomination, I'm voting for McCain". If that's truly the case, you don't really care about this country's direction. Anyone who will do that should come to grips, that stance is driven by one of two things, overwhelming bitterness, or sheer racism. I would at least have respect for those that would just be honest.

Check it out Hagel backers. He's against the war now, but so is almost everyone else who voted Yea just like HE did. Google the rollcall and see who else voted for it like John Kerry. Why didn't Obama condemn that error is judgment when he gave his kiss-up 2004 convention speech? Can you say hypocrite?

VP: sen. Webb.

Gen. Colon Powell would also make a great V.P., but if Hillary is the choice I support her also. Hillary undoubtedly is a great First Lady and it's unfortunate her quest for the nominee did some damage, but she will recover.

We need to get the message through to Hillary that she needs to run as Independant. She may already be planning on it and that is why she is staying in this race.

Hillary going independant would actually bring in a lot of votes from the republican party and the democrat party that aren't happy with their nominee, but don't want to cross over to the other party, but wouldn't mind voting independant.

NO TO CHAMELEON OBAMA for NOMINATION…….AN ABSOLUTE DEMOCRATIC AND MEDIA SCAM !!!!!!!

Clinton has the less educated white vote(fact), Clinton wins the dems nomination(highly unlikely), then Clinton becomes Prez(highly improbable). What does this say about the educational level and racial standards of the USA in 2008?

Well said Marshall. As a true democrat, I would vote for Hillary even though during this campaign I truly dislike her but in the end what truly does matter is a democrat in the White House.

Hagel would be a very good SecDef, but not a VP. I'd like to see Jim Webb be the VP.

Definitely not Hillary, I just don't think that it wouldn't be the right match for Obama.

Marshall–count me in.

Obama is only winning because of the black vote. 89% to 91% of 26% or more being the black population can help you win many states. If Obama was not black, Hillary would have already won.

Wow!!! A pretty good choice — Hagel's been a great leader/legislator. Fat chance though. I can't imagine the powers-that-be in the Democratic party agreeing.

we need to unite the party, not tear it to pieces. obama and clinton share very similar viewpoints when it comes to the main issues. i think obama's appeal has been that he's just a more positive campaign. it seems that most of the contentions that clinton supporters have with obama were brought to light from clinton's own smear-campaign against obama. to say "if not clinton, then mccain," is only going to hurt us all in the long run. please don't let your emotions overwhelm your rationality. choosing what is disadvantageous to the self out of bitterness is just plain idiocy.

Veterans for Hagel and Obama!!! End this War!!! Bring the Country together!! Restore our credibility!!

Obama is in the lead because African-Americans started noticing a black candidate in February. Before then, hardly anyone knew who he was. Call me idiot but you all know it is the truth.

I would love to have Hagel on the ticket. He brings much experience, including foreign policy with him. I so so thrilled that we will have Obama as the nominee. To those who keep screaming that Hillary run as an Independent- she cannot do that - look at the rules, oops she doesn't like playing by the rules now, does she! Obama o8

If Obama picks Hagel, I would be pleasantly surprised. It would prove to me he isn't just about lip serivce. That would be one way to get this Independent to switch from McCain to Obama.

Chris, I must speak out against you, my namesake. Chris, take a deep breath and relax, you're not being rational. Your shortsightedness is alarming…please tell us you're not really that out of touch? Also, where do you live? I want to make sure I stay clear, the water has obviously gone bad.

I dont understand why Clinton's supporters especially the women will not vote for Obama. As a mother I teach my children to handle defeat and move on. If HRC was in the lead and the nomination was given to Obama I could understand but she is not, so why on earth are they so upset. As mothers what are we teaching our kids. Its so sad and its a HUGE shame. If the men come out and say they wont vote for Hillary if Obama isnt nominated, that will cause an uproar. We are better than that as women.

I have to disagree with you Brian - Hagel does have a personality - ok more like cinnamon oatmeal - but being a democrat from Nebraska (a rare thing) Hagel is an outstanding Republican who stood for what he believes in and actually I think he would be PERFECT on the ticket. Obama wants to unite us - then prove it by the choice for vice…

Obama/Hagel!!!!!

I am a Republican- really believe in Republican values but really tired of Conservative Republicans..That is why I have become Independent to vote for Obama

I will never vote for Obama if he has Clinton as VP as that will not serve what Obama is standing for…

Well if Obama-Hagel ticket sound great
how about McCain-Clinton, simple unbeatable, this way the country will be united.

As long as Hillary isn't the Veep… Lord knows if Obama picked her he'd be dead by the inauguration and Hillary would become president by "default"

Kim, if Bill give Hillary some money then proably she would, go out on her own but I don't think her backers would apprepriate that right now. She needs and wants to be top dog.

CNN – Please Post or do you want a divided party?
People…I am guilty of bashing. Yes, I can admit it. But we all are. It is time to stop blaming each other. Both sides did it. It wasn't just the Obama supporter or just the Clinton supporters. IT WAS BOTH SIDES.

We need to get past the he said, she said playground justice and focus on the real issue…KEEPING MCCAIN out of the White House.

As I said before, I am guilty. I bashed on both sides. I started supporting one candidate and later changed sides. Who I support doesn't matter because their stand on the issues is almost identical.

Rush wants us to continue to bash and to keep us weak because he knows we could get anyone elected if we stood together. He fears US…A UNITED DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

So let's leave the name calling and finger pointing to the children on the playgrounds and act like adults. Once again, me included.

Let's end the negative and focus on the challenge…Beating McCain.

This is my pledge. Who stands with me?

Sen. Hagel will be an excellent choice for VP candidate. Barack Obama should welcome him as his running mate. Also Huffington Post reports that Obama has gained four superdelegates today. In addition, Jack Johnson, a pledged delegate of Hillary's is switching and he plans to endorse Obama at the August convention.

Anyone but the Clintons!

The Clintons' negative baggages will be a huge target for GOP to attack.

The DISHONESTY AND UNTRUSTWORTHYNESS of the Clintons will destroy Obama presidency!

It would be a DISASTER Dems are asking for! The Clintons are huge SINKHOLE draggging everybody down!

You know it's interesting to me that all of Hillary's supporters call the Obama supporters names and the same goes for Hillary supporters.

But listen everyone…If your a die hard "DEMOCRATE" what is the problem. I could also bring up a lot of issues myself when it comes to the news media emphasizing the demographics voting for Hillary…Let's see the one that really stands out…"Un-educated" voters comes to mind.
But Hillary has done her part…" McCain is better than a Democratic"
Obama.."the Bitter remark"…but overall both have made some serious remarks that tarneshes them both.

So DEMOCRATES stand for change! that's what we want regardless to who is in the top. We don't wish to have another 4 years of Bush politics..Or do we??? I believe we all are smarter than that. Aren't We???

Yes think about it but we want someone who will be with Obama for changing this nation.

Hillary has shown she can be just as racist as the next guy. She is not talking about the
issues as much anymore, she is only talking about the White Vote. She is only talking about her winning these states as if Obama could not do so against McCain.. Hillary is playing divide and concur and she does not give a dam what that might do to the party in November.

She is willing to sacrifice her ideals and respect with cheep shots and prejudices statements just to get votes and to me that is sad.

They gonna need a white man on the ticket if dey wanna win

Obama/Paul 08 would be the dream ticket that would align the stars, and part the clouds to let the sun shine through.

Obama/Paul 08

EVERYONE THAT VOTES MCCAIN AND SUPPOSE TO BE A TRUE DEMOCRAT DESERVES TO HAVE THEIR VOTE STRIPPED…HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU CARE ABOUT THE ISSUES AND WANT A REPUBLICAN BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE….YOU ARE JUST THAT SPITEFUL THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO DROP YOUR VALUES, MORALS AND CARE FOR THE ISSUES JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE OBAMA….WHAT HAS HE DONE TO YOU…HE HAS SHOWN UNITY AND GREAT STRENGTH AND GREAT JUDGEMENT….HAS OVERCOME GREAT CONTROVERSEY…..WHAT YOU FAIL TO REALIZE IS THAT THE MAJORITY WANTS SOMETHING NEW, GET OVER IT AND EMBRACE IT CAUSE HE WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. AND I WAS A MIKE HUCKBEE SUPPORTER, NOW THAT SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH OBAMA HAS CONVINCED ME HE IS THE BEST CANDIDATE!!!!!!

Besides saying that he will "bring us all together", what has Obama really DONE? How does being arrogant and politically inexperienced enable him to be president? What great things has he accomplished, which qualify him to run the country? How is bringing in someone, who by being so in-experienced allows him to stand for change, make it right? WHY IS EXPERIENCE SUCH A BAD THING?

Oh, because, it's Old Washington? So, automatically, Obama is better? I just don't see the logic. Obama is just another privileged, insulated rich person who has no idea of what it means to struggle.

I believe that there's too many people who feel obligated to vote for him, because he's (half) black (And not African-American, but African) - "to show the world how much we've moved on"… Noble yes, but as a Senator maybe, not for President.

Why do all of you arrogant and nasty Obama supporters say (Shut up, you know you are and so does everyone else), if you even question his qualifications, that you're an idiot? But you people don't have any answers for that - you just get HOSTILE and say we need change. How is that bringing people together? Obama is ALL some pie-in-the-sky image, NO substance. And, no matter what you say, he is a WIMP. Do we want an unqualified wimp to be President? I do not.

CHRIS…

YOU ONLY WISH US OBAMA SUPPORTERS WERE BEING HYPNOTIZED AND UNDER SOME SPELL. LOL. IF HE DID HYPNOTIZE ME, THANK GOD! BECAUSE I FEEL GREAT KNOWING THAT I'M WITH A CANDIDATE WHO HAS NEW VISION AND WISDOM FOR THIS COUNTRY.

IF YOU ACTUALLY SPENT THE TIME TO "READ" ABOUT HIS STANCES ON ISSUES AND NEW IDEAS…INSTEAD OF JUST LISTENING TO SOUND BYTES ON TELEVISION, YOU WOULDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT HE IS ALL "TALK." HE ISN'T…AND HOPEFULLY SOON, YOU WILL SEE THAT.

OTHERWISE, I GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO JOIN THE REPUBLICANS…LIKE YOU SAID. OH WELL…NO LOSS FOR US. MORE AND MORE REPUBLICANS ARE SWITCHING SIDES TO SUPPORT OBAMA. I THINK WE COULD HANDLE THE LOSS OF YOUR UNHELPFUL SUPPORT.

THE TIME WILL COME…AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT BARACK WILL ACHIEVE FOR THIS COUNTRY. GREAT THINGS ARE GOING TO COME.

YES, WE CAN.

AS A REPUBILICAN THIS MAN HAS ALWAYS GAVE US THE FEELING THAT HE THINKS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. UNLIKE MOST REPUBILICANS HE IS NOT STILL IN THAT "LEAVE IT TO BEAVER" MINDSET. GOOD MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow George-FLA
Thanks for your honesty, I wholeheartedly disagree but I am so glad someone had the U KNOW WHAT"S to say it!

It's a shame though I don't not like Hillary or MCbush because they are white they just don't care for me or my struggles and my life is not as important as yours seems to be to "those people". I truly thank you for that comment, and i don't take it personal at all.
That's the reason right there that she will win WV and KY!!

WOW!!

Hillary running as independent is 100% SURE victory for McCain and 100% SURE defeat for both Obama, Clinton and also for Democrats for next 20 years.

He is a straight talker. Thats nice.
Someone from Nebraska in the White House would be groovy.
GO BIG RED (as in football)

Obam - Hagel 08

That has my vote !

I still like the idea of an Obama/Clinton ticket, but the prospect of an Obama/Hagel team is definitely compelling. Unity '08 would coincide Obama's message of transcendence.

TO: Disappointed in California

Why is he in the lead then? Pledged delegates are not just handed out, he is winning because that is who the majority of voters wanted to win! Spite will get you no where and no matter how you spin it, she lost. Deal and get on board so we don't have another 100 years in Iraq!

Obama and McCain both need a red stater to carry the south.

I know CNN won't pots these comments oh well here it goes to give the moderator a good read.

Everyone who says "Clinton or McCain" realize that Obama voters are some of the youngest and/or most educated in this country. If Hillary costs Obama this election in November from her campaigning in the next election those Obama supporters will still not vote for Hillary because of what she has done in this election. Not to mention those who support Hillary will be dwindling in 2012 problem with the older vote is that it may not be around in four years as much as the "younger" vote.
Not only will Hillary not win in 2012 simply because the Obama supporters will remember every screw job, rules change Hillary has tried and won't let her get away with it. We, the educated, have long memories and we'll remember the division Hillary has caused that will in all likelihood put another republican in office. And Hillary will be ostracized, blackballed, and usurped…uhh for you Hillary Supporters all those big words mean "KICKED OUT and OFF" her Political seat. Her Political Career is over after this election both in the Senate and in any hope of EVER being president.

We Will Remember, and We'll NEVER Vote Clinton again, mark my words….

Obama/Sebelius 08&12,,,hopefully.

I liked Hagel until I learned that his voting record has been at least 97% with George Bush. He talks one way, then votes another.

Clinton supportes are so blind and deaf. People, wake up! Do you love your country or as KKKlinton you love only yourself?

Ex Clinton supporter for OBAMA 08

reading up on how shallow a lot of Americans are, it is just very disappointing, the big country with lots of very ignorant people.

If you can't go for Obama if he wins the nomination, then don't vote and just be sorry for your fate cuz your country has gone down the drain with the Republicans. Go do that so we can all laugh on how stupid again the Americans are voting.

YES TO SENATOR HAGEL!!!!!

This symbolizes change at its best!!!!!!!!

CNN is just blowing up smoke again.

Do go ahead and find an honest job. We are sick of Republicans.

Condi won't be on anyone's ticket because entering a political campaign would get her outed, and I don't see that as something she wants to happen. While I don't think it is a bad choice, America is not ready for a lesbian VP.

To tell you the truth I think Obama should make Gen. Collin Powell his VP………if you really what to talk about a winning ticket……Let say it together

OBAMA/POWELL……….2008
OBAMA/POWELL……….2008
OBAMA/POWELL……….2008
OBAMA/POWELL……….2008
OBAMA/POWELL……….2012
OBAMA/POWELL……….2012
OBAMA/POWELL……….2012
OBAMA/POWELL……….2012

LOL….IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THEM FOR THE NEXT 8 YEARS

HILLARY WILL GO INDEPENDENT AND BEAT THEM ALL. THE DNC AND ALL THE DOGS THAT TREATED HER SO BADLY DESERVE IT.

IF Obama is the democratic nominee, and he isn't yet. But if..

Hillary Clinton is going to vote for Obama. Bill Clinton is going to vote for Obama. Chelsea Clinton is going to vote for Obama.

And I am going to do what Hillary wants me to do. I am going to vote for Obama.

Chris…. you really sound deranged. You are telling me and the rest of the nation that it is alright with you for our young American Men and women to die because you can't have Hillary as a president? Are you completely out of your mind? You are one sick puppy to sit there on your butt and see the unnecessary death taking place in Iraq. Either you are a republican who think the death of our young is in line with your beliefs or you have become so wrapped up in this blog crap that you’re not thinking straight. How old are you anyway…12? How many Hillary supports are saying the same thing? How sick are you people? Really how sick are you?

I am responding to a commet you made, you support who ever you want to and respond to what ever you want to respond to, but you need not respond by telling people what they should say and what they should not say. With that said, if you are not supporting Obama, you are a looser.

Hagels a good man and would add honesty and credibility to either party's ticket as the VP.

With the party's history, do we really want a Republican a heartbeat away from the Oval Office? As if Pres. Obama won't have to watch his back already, with the number of closet (and uncloseted) KKK-types in this country. Read the article on MSNBC re: Indiana's racist voters.

Anyone but Hillary.

To Chris and all the Clinton supporters who would rather see McCain as president than Obama. Sure it hurts that your candidate isn't going to be President. But ask yourself who is really being selfish and hateful when during McCain's first term another 4000 troops die in Iraq. You can prove your point that Obama can't win without Clinton supporters, but your hatred for Obama is just going to cost 4000 americans their lives. Maybe your hatred can give those 4000 families comfort over the next 4 years. Let's vote with our heads and not our hearts. There is too much at stake.

Exit polls suggest there was more than a 90 per cent chance that Ray Nagin would endorse Barack Obama.

I hope Barack will not ask a Republican, really.

All Democrats who support Hillary need to temper your emotions a bit. I voted for Obama in my local caucus, but would vote for Hillary in a heartbeat if she were the nominee. Not all of us have want to demonize the 'other' candidate. Let's stop making out the 'other' candidate to be the straw-man who supposedly represents everything you despise. The fact is John McCain is a far right-wing conservative. He would dismantle social security. He would transform the health-care system into a radical free-market experiment. He would appoint reactionaries to the supreme court. He would invade Iran…Is voting for McCain really even an option for disgruntled Democrats?

Chris… get a clue. You are the perfect representative of these militant HIllary supporters (only about 30% of her supporters overall) that are so delusional that you're willing to put your hurt pride over the fate of the nation.

I simply cannot understand you people. Hillary would never cast a vote for John McBush and neither should anyone who considers themselves a Democrat.

if the democrats want to win in november, count fl. & mi. and the superdelegates should have a bak bone and do what they are there for, support the candididate that will win in nov. bunch of stupid wimps.

Yeah, ladies, vote McCain, enjoy the Supreme court nominees, throw a big kiss to Roe V Wade as it sets sail. Yeah, back McCain, I could care less, as a middle aged, white, business owning male, Im the top of their food chain, so Obama support is ethical and moral but isnt likely to benefit me, but go ahead and shoot for that shrill, emotional, peiric victory, and keep blaming men for the fact you arent where you want to be.

This just in Chelsey Clinton and Jena Bush will run for president in 2012 as Republicans. With all the foreign experience that Chelsey Clinton has and Jena Bush has millitary experience.

Chelsey/Jena 12′

"Clinton run as an independent???" you people are fools. She has been a loyal democrat all her life and now you want her to betray her party just because she lost. What does that sound like to you? Crybaby, sore sport loser…sounds right. I hope your candidate has more credibility and decency than you suggest. Get over it or go join Joe Lieberman and John McCain on the other side. We'll keep Hillary and win with Obama. Thank you!

Hey Benoit if Hillary was at the bottom of McCain's ticket boy that would be a power house. Bloomberg, Richardson, and the others that were mentioned will do nothing for Obama in Nov. Latino's don't even like Richardson and Jews don't like Bloomberg LOL. Lieberman will bring in the Florida vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee and the Panhandle always goes Republican. Obama will bring 10% of blacks in Dade county but from what I am hearing the state will go to McCain driving. If PA and Ohio go red Obama loses big time.

Hillary- can we please bring this thing to an end. I am about tired of this circus, plus I think you are beginng to start over on these pant-suits, or you are forgetting the last time you wore it. Any rate I am sick of you and the pants -suits. Before this ends, which I perdict in a few more days, CAN you please wear a dress or a skirt suit.

Oh by the way 100% of the country wasnt behind Iraq after 9-11.

Only those blind sheep who follow without reading or checking were.

Even with my son in the military I wasn't.

If he is going to die for this country I want it to be for something. Not for lies, being politically safe or pure BS.

All of you think about this long and hard about who will have the proper judgement and use integrity in the white house not just go were the wind is blowing like Clinton does.

a Democrat/Republican ticket happened in MD about 4 years ago. That was the wrong move because it alienated the larger portion of the vote. In this case, it would be a smart move because it is not about party, but about America.

America needs leadership.

Chirs is a disguised republican like many others here !

They are spreading hate and nothing else!

Get lost !

Dems unite and support the fair winner of this contest BARACK OBAMA !

Chris-1st post,
You are delusional. What are you a 10 year old? "my candidate didn't get elected so I'm going to be against the other candidate". C'mon people, HRC lost in a democratic election and we all should respect it, and support the nominee.

I HAVE LONG ADMIRED THIS SHARP, HONEST, INDEPENDENT THINKING SENATOR, ONE OF VERY FEW REPUBLICANS WHO HAVEN'T FALLEN VICTIM TO MUCH OF THE FAR-RIGHT BUSH INSANITY WHICH HAS HIJACKED THE GOP IN RECENT YEARS. SEN. HAGEL WOULD BE A SUPERB PICK FOR VP IN AN OBAMA ADMINISTRATION! OBAMA-HAGEL '08!!!

Super delegates can change their mind any time between now and August just like some of them already changed their suppport from Hillary to Obama, they can also change from Obama to Hillary as it is clearly evident that Obama has no chance of winning the General Election.
If Hillary enters the race as an Independent, she will still win the General Election because Barr will pull votes away from McCain.

well, well. that is America. A republican on dem ticket? only in America. Are you refering to coalition government? i wonder how he attack his fellow Reps.

This, my fellow Americans, would be the dream ticket that will help change America's course….

Senator Obama, for God's sake, PLEASE choose Mr. Hagel as your running mate… If you do, you are GUARANTEED to win the election by at least 70% of the vote… I can promise you that!

This honorable man completely neutralizes McBush's so-called Washington and National Security experience, and it shows that Obama is willing to work with members across the aisle for the betterment of the American people…

Oh Goodness, I pray he makes the right choice here… This is a no-brainer!!!!

Obama / Hagel 2008, 2012 and forever!

God Bless America!!!

I love the idea of an Obama/Hagel ticket!! Either Hagel or Siebelius in the VP slot would make me very enthusiastic.

When are we going to be tired of hating each other? Hillary supporters won't support Barack, and Barack supporters won't support Hillary. I guess gas prices aren't high enough, we don't have enough forclosures, we need to send more jobs overseas, and we need a few thousand more deaths in Iraq before the hate will stop. I am not a Hillary supporter, but if she steals this nomination I guess she will get my vote because I am beyond tired!

I am really concerned about HIllary supporters who will vote for McCain if Obama wins the nomination.
McCain's stance on just about EVERYTHING is different than where Hillary stands, while Obama's platform is almost identical to Hillary's.

I'm not an Obama-maniac, nor do I hate Hillary (I rather like her alot), but it just concerns me that folks are willing to let the nation continue on its path of destroying itself by voting for a man who is so different than both Hillary and Barack.

I am disappointed that we are so desperate to see Hillary succeed that we don't care what happens to the country. Don't get me wrong- I want to see Hillary succeed, but folks out there are going too far.

It woul be dumb for Clinton supports to back McCain. If Obama loses, Hillary will be blaimed and she'll get smashed in 2012.

I'm a Hillary supporter. I'm NOT a Democrat and no, I don't have children who play soccer and am not a Regan Democrat. I'm an independent. There are things that agree with on policies on both parties. BUT, I WILL NEVER EVER EVER VOTE FOR BARACK, unless he chooses Hillary as his VP. Otherwise, no Hillary, then all McCain and no, he is not nearly as awful as some extreme left wing democrats on this board would have you believe. He, like Hillary are in the middle more and that is what appeals to me. He like Hillary have reached across the aisle. And I truly think they both love this country and will do everything they can to get us back on track. Barack's floundering and is nothing more than Howard Dean's puppet. He'll surround himself with extreme left wing people and if you think for a moment he'd every tap Hagel as his running mate you're really on drugs. Barack is over his head in what he owes Dean. His message is Dean's message and I wouldn't be surprised if Barry blows this whole thing up by choosing the wrong VP. McCain will have a really good chance if Barack doesn't choose Hillary. That's just realistic.

I am confused by Hillary supporters who indicate they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the Dem. nomination! Are you folks not Democrats!!?? Would you really prefer to cut off your nose just to spite your face?

McCain is not an independent! He is a Bush Republican! He has sold out any "maverick inclinations" in him to pander to the right-wing conservative base of the Republicans. His reversal on the tax cuts, his speech on appointing conservative judges, his denial of not having voted for Bush, etc. all speak to this pandering.

Obama is a black man running for president. He has received Secret Service protection earlier than any other candidate in history. His life, his wife's life and the lives of their two daughters are being threatened every day. Would not only a patriot go through this!?

Don’t Obama and Hillary agree on most major issues!?

Thus, the questions become: Are you more racist than Democrat!?
Are you more racist than pro choice!? Are you more racist than anti-tax cuts for the rich!?

What astonishes and disappoints me is how significant fractions of Clinton or Obama supporters vow to vote for Mccain if their desired candidate loses the nomination. The elections should be about political orientation and policies -which are what steer the country in the future- as opposed to celebrity following.

I voted for Obama; but if he doesn't win, I will vote for Clinton in the General Elections. It should always be about what candidates advocate and stand for; as far as I understand, Clinton and Obama don't differ much in their political stances, while McCain advocates for the contrary. To the in-fighting people who think themselves Democrats - in-fighting does nothing constructive, except for helping McCain's cause. Wake up. Or maybe I am just plain wrong to think that people can see the election as more than a popularity contest.

Obama could use some military/foreign policy experience with him on the ticket…I think Gen. Clark would make a great running mate - though I am not opposed to Hagel. I don't think HRC would accept the position.

Hillary Clinton would not be too pleased with her so-called supporters who say they will vote for McCain rather than Obama. They will be giving McCain the power to undo things she spent years of her life fighting for. It's the most idiotic thing I've heard from her supporters yet.

I've been following this election with great interest and couldn't conceive of anyone shooting themselves (and all other Americans) in the foot because of such sour grapes. You will doom your country rather than suck it up and support your party's nominee and allow the progress and change to occur as it should. That's simply pathetic!

This is a response to Gary Jennings.

Iraq a weak issue?!!!!! Young Punks?!!! I'm 39 and I'm proud of the service of my son in the military but Iraq should never have been authorized.

Your candidate voted for what was politically popular and not with integrity.

This has been the defining vote of our time. If you can't see that its because your quite frankly BLIND.

For Obama to have come out against during that time when he was just a state legislator showed more courage than Clinton thats for sure.

Obviously you have never had to deal with hearing about soldiers getting killed in Iraq and then having to wait 48 hours to hear if it was your kid. Then when you dont hear from the military and or you hear from your child then you think about the family who did.

Punks?!! HAters?!!!! Dont throw that BS at me!!!!!!!!!

Hagel is an interesting guy. I will welcome a bipartisan ticket.
The bottom line is that we are very tired of the bickering between the two parties. Nothing gets done in D.C.

It seems to have taken a Hillary and Bush to smear the lines between the two major parties. We should thank them for it in a sense.

Obama/Hagel would be an instant winning ticket!!

ps - PLEASE GOD DO NOT ALLOW AN OBAMA/CLINTON TICKET FOR THE SAKE OF THIS COUNTRY!!

This would be better than Hillary. If Obama picks Clinton, then his message of change has been full of crap all this time. We need to see young dynamic presidents with new ideas and new ways to move this country forward.

I pray and hope he doesn't pick Hillary. Hillary will be the poorest choice. I hope he picks Nancy Pelosi.

I would like this ticket!!!!!!! Unity. We could get some things done for a change in Washington.

Coming soon on VH-1: The Fat Lady Sings - Behind the Music!

I think there are enough talented Democrats that Obama doesn't need to seek a Republican to join the ticket, no matter what his sterling qualities are. If he wants to attract Clinton supporters, Obama's probably going to have to do more than select someone that might carry Ohio, Florida or one of the key states.

If Hillary is not thje nominee, I'm voting for McCain, what kind of crap is this?

God you people are pathetic, if you don't vote my way I'll ruin it for everybody attitude, and now the threats

HEY YOU HILLARY PEOPLE

YOU LOST

GET OVER IT

AND STOP THREATNING THE REST OF US

This could be a smart option to help with Bipartisan View and outcome. it could look John Mcain look very week and draw some independents and unhappy repubicans to the Obama side. Obamacian's lol.

"Obama 08 enough said. "

If Obama Becomes the Nominee for the Democratic Party then so be it.

It will be a very sad day, when (quite probably) Hillary will lose the nomination. I will have a tough time in deciding who to vote for but probably in the end, I will vote for Senator McCain. As much as I would like to support the Party, that I have supported for many years, there is just too much unknown about Obama.

I wish it was easier for me. His inexperience is very troubling and his past relationships with Pastor Wright, Rezko, and William Ayers are haunting. I think that Obama does seem to be a very nice man but as a President, I have my big concerns about his ideas and his ability to lead America thru these difficult times.

I heard a comment that was said on CNN last nite, that sums up the Obama issue for me and that is:

MANY PEOPLE LOVE THE IDEA OF OBAMA BUT DO NOT LIKE OR HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT OBAMA'S IDEAS!!!

I am a Clinton supporter but I will vote for Obama if he's the nominee since the policies are about 95% the same. However, many of the Obama supporters are very disappointing with their continuous attacks on Hillary. You can't unite the party while you continue to do that. So use your brain also just like Clinton supporters need to vote for Obama. It works both ways.

I'm going to do what no other Hillary supporter is willing to do — I'm going to be honest. I don't want to see a Black man be president. Sorry. It's the way I feel and it's the way MOST of the people around me who are Hillary supporters feel. There is a TIME for all things and I and many other Americans just don't feel that it's TIME for a Black president yet. Black people have not paid their dues, so to speak, in the areas of meaningful, progressive world events. And now to suggest that one is positioned to become the most powerful man on the planet — many of us just aren't ready yet. So, no — if Hillary doesn't get the nomination, I WILL cast my vote for John McCain. Maybe I'm racist, but I'm also honest.

If I am Obama, I choose Ted Kennedy as Vice-President, if he wish. That's what I mean.

I am with you Chris!

Hillary Clinton 2008 Independent!

Hagel might not be happy with Republicans but don't think he will wreck the party or McCain. Nice pipe dream!

Let's see, if Hillary runs as an Independent then McSame ends up as our next president, this is good for the country how????

Hey Hillary supporters,

IF SHE CANT WIN HER OWN PARTY'S NOMINATION, WHAT IN THE WORLS MAKES YOU THINKS SHE CAN WIN AS AN INDEPENDENT.

GET OVER IT

God, I've never seen such sore loosers in my life.

Alan in Fla, he must be doing something right if he can raise records amount of money in primearies and if he can beat the Clinton maschine and keeps her from "closing the deal". For you to say that he copies her is totally ridiculous and dumb. It looks like he was, again, smart enough, not to "copy her" on the gas tax hoax. Remember when he not copied her about the war issue?

Alan in Fla. - Ridiculous.

I am amazed by the ignorance and stupidity of some of the american voters that write on this blog. I cant understand how some protest to cast their vote 4 McCain if Hillary is not the nominee. Last time I checked Hillary and Obama agree on just about every issue. Then again this are the same people that voted clueless Bush in twice.

Listen up ignorant and guilable voters (the ones that can read at least), imagine consequences of putting McCain in office. Lobbyist and special interest group controling washington, the economy is in deep depression, Gas is $8.00/gal, another in 4,000 plus soldiers dead. And who do you think suffers, definately not Bill and Hillary, they have $109 million to survive on.

It would be great if Hillary supporters could open their eyes and hold her to the same moral and ethical standards they are pushing on Obama.

Once you look without emotion and see her for what she really is, I think you'll be shocked.

This is the woman who said she's willing to obliterate 20 million children in Iran, isn't it?

I'm starting to think you Hillary supporters don't have a problem with that, and it's scary.

I think that Hagel is one of the wisest and sensible republicans around. I do not agree with all of his views, but his foreign policy ideas match those of Senator Obama. But I think that it would be a strange ticket and I simply do not see what else he would be bringing to the table, besides the obvious "bipartisan ticket". Also, he is a conservative in many other areas and he could clash with Obama and the Democrats.

On the other hand, I think that Obama and the Democratic Party would be looking at putting someone in the ticket that could ran for President after Obama. I think that I like the idea of an Obama/Sebelius ticket better.

On another note, those people making comments about voting for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee are not making any sense. I doubt that they are Democrats or even that they are from the United States.

He actually is one of the VERY FEW honest Republicans. There aren't many, as far a s the Obama ticket, he is socially too conservative for my taste.

Chris, how old are you? A child will think better than you. Grow up……

Those suggesting an independant run must be Republicans who know its about the only way for McCain to win.

There is a lot of attempted manipulation on these posts. Don't get sucked in!

Obama is not being arrogant. He is being smart. He has an insurmountable lead and now is focusing on winning the White House, which is what is best for all Americans.

Go Obama '08 - 148 delegates to go

Underscore "some." That is important, because whether we like it or not, there are some Demos (spell that blue dog demos) who cannot seem to get unstuck in the past glory of the Democratic Party, and are intent on old politics. Please! After 9/11 and the comparative disaster of George W. Bush and the reign of neocons, we will forge a new kind of party within the ranks of both Demos and Republicans, sick of the good old boy system. Clean up your house Demos! Get rid of the good old boy Blue Dogs!

I can see Obama choosing Hagel or Dick Lugar, both respected senior Republican Senators…and anyone stupid enough to vote for McCain rather than the Democratic nominee–whomever it might be—is insane. Sorry, but being the dutiful, long-suffering wife of a philandering U.S. President does not count towards experience!

Concerning predatory loaning, in the Illinois State Senate, Obama called attention to predatory lending issues. Obama sponsored legislation to combat predatory payday loans, and he also was credited with lobbying the state to more closely regulate some of the most egregious predatory lending practices.

Hillary 2012, 2016 GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Hagel would be unbeatable!

A year ago I was amazed at how impressed I was with Senator Hagel and realized I preferred him over most of the Democratic Candidates (admittedly, Biden was my first choice). Now that it appears Senator Obama will be the presumptive nominee, choosing Senator Hagel will not only strengthen the ticket, but exhibit his (Obama's) willingness to reach across the aisle to do what's best for the country.

OBAMA/HAGEL '08!

Michael … I agree that Colin Powell would be a great VP choice. More than anyone, he brings military and state department experience and he is appears to be a decent and principled man like Senator Obama.

Obama/Sebilius!!!

Although I DO like the idea of a bipartisan ticket unfortunately the Parties would ahve a coronary!

the best thing to happen to the Rebublican party this year is Chuckie leaving the party…The guy needs to see one of those couch doctors.

Furthermore, concerning housing in the U.S. Senate, Obama introduced the STOP FRAUD Act to increase penalties for mortgage fraud and provide more protections for low-income homebuyers, well before the current subprime crisis began.

Excellent choice - it would truly resonate Obama's message. Hagel is the best option I've heard so far.

Some states have a "sore loser" bylaw that if you lose in a primary you can't be on the General Election ticket..

Former Hillary supporter, now for Obama

p.s. John McSame voted against equal pay for women, and some of you want to give him your vote as a penalty for Hillary losing. Not smart at all.

Obama '08

You will never have a bi-partisan ticket………it goes against the principles of politics.

Chuck Hagel will be an excellent choice for VP, and perhaps a landslide win in November for 'Obama/Hagel'.

And one last comment guys, don't expect the Dems to try and seize everything. TRUST ME, there are some Reps out there who my boy would love to work with….is not just about the Dems, is about who's ready to wake up and start working for each other……..To be honest, I have so much to say about this…

Alan in Fla., don't count my vote
For one, he voted AGAINST the war in Iraq, and outright spoke out against it from the very beginning.
and Hillary voted….for the war.
You're right, they are not exactly the same.

Obama for President is too risky. He is a copycat, copies everybody's work and never an original. Even when he went to the Senate, he copied the so-called Clinton Model (how things operate in the Senate). In the Chicago legislature, it's all the same, never wrote anything original but made sure he wants his name put in each one of them. The country is too much at stake at this moment. They say that the "bright ones" are for Barack, I do not think so, they're super DUMB, DUMB and DUMBER!!!!

I hope that Hillary dosn't take the VP spot if she is offered it. I will write her in in November. I hope that she will run as Independant.

I don't understand how Hillary was "cheated" out of the nomination. As far as I can tell, Obama played by the rules. In fact, I haven't heard Senator Clinton suggest otherwise. The argument seems to be that Senator Clinton was entitled to the nomination, and if she doesn't get it, she was cheated out of it.

I still believe cooler heads will prevail, and when the nomination is decided, Clinton supporters will have some time to consider the candidates (McCain and likely Obama) and will do what is right for the United States by voting to support the candidate that most closely shares their view on the issues. If that truly is McCain, then so be it, but I doubt it.

i find it very hard to vote for obama after reading a blog about his wife concerning her theiese she wrote in collage she really hates white people an this country that not accetable to me therefore like many of my fellow party members i will have to vote for mccain if hillary is not given the nod for the presidency i am only i of many million who feel this way. you the dnc have caused this problem an you superdelagates once you pladge your vote to hillary you should have stuck to it no abandon her. SHAME SHAME ON YOU.

Hagel would totally offset any appeal McCain might have-war hero, anti-war from day one and he offsets Obama's deficits and affirms the "change" theme in an unprecedented way! Yes, HAGEL!!!!!

I think it would be nice to see him pick a Republican, that will show real change. It will show that Democrats and Republican's can work together for a common goal. But for those Hillary supports like that knuckle head in the top of this blog, You must be racist or just out right dumb. I can understand not voting at all, but to vote for McCain, that's just stupid if you care about this country.

Hagel embodies the worst of "The Stuff" weenie-Repulicans are made of and why the Weenies are going down to defeat bigtime to the Demoncrats.

Chuck Hagel is one Republican that is not of the extreme right kind. He seems to have the best interest of this country at heart. Why not an Obama and Hagel ticket? What we have in common with some Republicans is that we can think and reason and, most of all speak the truth!

great team…………..

CHRIS!! SHAME ON YOU…I UNDERSTAND RASICT IS A DESEASE,THIS TIME AROUND WE WILL NOT BE DEVIDED……………….GO OBAMA..08

This is to Chris - and I say that 100% of the democrats who voted for Barack WILL NOT vote for Hillary and this is why WE DO NOT want her on a ticket with him!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERY PAST NOMINEE OF EITHER PARTY HAS GOTTEN THERE BY WINNING THE PRESCRIBED NUMBER OF DELEGATES TO THEIR PARTY'S CONVENTION. IF THE DEMOCRATS CHANGE THE RULES NOW JUST TO DENY A BLACK THE PRESIDENCY, HILARY WOULD HAVE PREVAILED BY DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
IF ON THE OTHER HAND NANCY PELOSI AND THE DNC INSIST ON THE RULES BEING THE RULES, AMERICAN PRESTIGE ALL THE WORLD OVER WILL BE THE HIGHEST SINCE 1776!!
THE WORLD ,BOTH FRIENDS AND NON-FRIENDS , IS WATCHING HOW AMERICA TREATS OBAMA AND TAKING SERIOUS NOTES!!

My lenghty response did not seem to get through. Allow me to say that the Obama campaign is about Unity. After all of the "hateful" things that have come out of the Clinton campaign, we are still willing to work with the Clinton supporters to win in November. However, if Obama is the nominee (it appears that he will be), then we all need to get on the "Hope" and "Change" bandwagon and work toward a "United" States of America. If we do not join together, then the cause will be lost and the War in Iraq, the Economy, and the other issues we care about will continue to spiral downward, until there will be no recovering from it. As Obama says, "We can not wait!"

To the Clinton supporters wanting Clinton to run as an Independent, do you plan on bankrolling her campaign because you certainly do seem to be donating right now. Or maybe you have and she BLEW through the money you sent her by mismanaging her campaign finances. Don't worry, she still has that $109 million to fall back on while she is using your hard earned money for a lost cause.

Not attacking, just stating facts. Fact is, she can't manage her campaign, how is she going to manage the economy?

Has anyone else noticed she stopped talking about the "gas tax holiday" now that NC and Indiana have come and gone?

In a more positive thinking, there is a bridge to cross here, and the posibilities Following the kind of disceet person Obama are, narrows the chances of Hagel beening on his Ticket…

Lets see, Obama always goes for the best, thats why his team is the best politacal team.
Alfred.JR

Alan in Fla…Learn how to speak/write properly!
"and he in not about anything including change"???

Your comment really loses its effect when you cant even spell!

I LOVE HOW ALL HILLARY PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTING HER SO STRONGLY!!!!!!!

WRITE HER IN IN NOVEMBER IF SHE ISN'T THE NOMINEE!!!!!!!

LOOKING FORWARD TO A WIN TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

Hey Billy Frm Fla:

Riddle me this, if Hillary & McCain have so much experience. Why did both of their campaigns fqace bankruptcy? even though they had BOTH been involved in a presidental campaign before? Hillary's campaign was a complete disaster. and shows she really doen't have a grasp of what she is doing. Especially because she hired a guy "Mark Penn" who didn't even know the rules of teh Demorcratic party. It's a complete contrast on what she has run on (but to be honest she's changed that theme so many times who can keep up) If people really take a close look at Hillary. They'll see an exstreemly flawed candidate. And all this BS about if Hillary is not good enough to be president then who is ridiculous. Her gender was not the reason she lost the nomination. Her incompitent campaign was. And any Clinton supporter who is considering voting for McCain is just a plain stupid racist. Becaue on Policy Obama and Clinton are virtually the same.

A real UNITY ticket would be Obama asking Clinton to be his running mate.

Because I'd like to SEE Obama walk his TALK, and UNIFY our party — and selecting Hillary is the only way to prove he is really "above it all". I would respect and support the man if he could do that.

If Clinton is not asked to run as VP, I will write her name in….as president.

I am a Hilary supporter, but more importantly I am a DEMOCRAT! I am astonished how many people are willing to sacrifice the next 4 years of their lives just out of spite. Come on fellow Hilary supporters, wake up! We need to unite for the good of the country. I will always be proud of Hilary, but it's over. Obama ran a better campaign. How many more lives need to be lost in Iraq? You people are actually willing to send more soldiers over to be killed, maimed, and forever scarred mentally? Please don't be selfish this November, vote Democrat!

CNN, Please Post This!

For Billy From Fla and all Hillary supporters:
Do you need the EXPERIENCE on lying people?
Vote for Hillary.
Shut yourself in the foot.
Be my guest.

This is to Chris
you know chris you sound just like a rasist to me. How is it that Senator Obama people are hateful, and hillary's'not? well let me tell you something-i voted for Bill Clinton, twice when he ran for president, but when that sex thing came out and he outright lied; that turned a lot of people off.I would not have voted for hillary,anyway if S.Obama was not running,I would have for another democrat. hillary pouts too much she cannot have everything her way all the time ,no one owes her anything, I think she is turly a nasty hateful person, who donot and will not help any body but herself. A new direction without and her husband is what this country need right about now, history should not repeat it self.

So apparently none of these people that suggest an Independent Hillary Clinton ticket have ever picked up a history book. Let me do you a favor, and save you from that short 10 pages of reading:

In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt and W. H. Taft were both Republicans that disagreed with each other. You could see the same kind of split going on in the modern Democratic nomination process. Roosevelt decided to run as an independent, so th Republican vote was split down the middle, allowing Wilson to become president with just over 40% of the popular vote. So if you really want to see McCain for '08, then keep proposing that Hillary run as an independent and show everybody your ignorance.

HILLARY-HILLARY-SLICK WILLY-I AM SICK AND TIRED OFHEARING ABOUT THE LYING CHEATING CLINTONS.THEY WANT BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO FINISH THE JOB THEY STARTED WHEN THEY MOVED OUT,SEE HOW MUCH MORE THEY CAN STEAL.THEY HAVE A 1.2 MILLION FRAUD CASE IN COURT IN CALIFORNIA NOW WHERE THEY BORROWED MONEY FOR HER SENATE BID AND COMITED FRAUD.I HOPE THEY SENT THEY BOTH FOR A RIDE THEY THINK THEY RUN THE WORLD.WAY UP WHITE RIVER WOULD BE A BIG LAUGH.SLICK WILLY SAID IF HE RELEASED ALL THE TAX RETURNS ETC SHE WOULD LOOSE THE NOMINATION,SHE HAS LOST ANYWAY.SEE WHERE LYING HAS GOT HER GO TO BOSNIA AND FIGHT SNIPER FIRE.

OBAMA AND HAGEL ARE LOSERS

i fully understand why hillary supporters would not vote for Obama inspite of the fact they'd be cutting off their nose to spite their face. she said it best — her supporters are hard working UNEDUCATED white Americans. Only the truly uneducated would be so moronic as to vote for someone totally opposed to their values/beliefs in order to make some kind of point.

i can see Hillary's victory speech Tuesday night in WV. Probably within the first 3 minutes she'll ask for money and give her website so people could contribute. Maybe if she gets back that $12 million she put in from her 109 plus million, she will finally be able to quit.

obama/hagel would be bulletproof.

obama 08!

I didnt even think you could do that!!!! Who knew, I guess I would be down with that as long as he CAN NOT affect policy. Those GOP guys are wacko's. I always beleived that the Democrats have a better agenda for this country than the GOP does!

Chris, this is not a kindergarten playground. Why the hate? Can't you give this guy some credit? He is, alone, up against 3 Clintons and winning. If he is so bad, why is he winning? You make no sense at all. They are very close on the issues. Try to support each other and stop this hateful crap.

This would be great i think, anybody but Clinton. Also it would prove that Obama is the great uniter.

First post from Chris.

New Flash…. Hillary can't afford the race she's in now. How can you suggest she run as a independent?

She lent the campaign that $11.4 she expects it back. You do understand the President position doesn't pay that well.

But rather than stump on your dreams…go ahead and she if Hillary can make it as an Independent.

I must admit…this primary season has been extremely entertaining.

To CNN….

If you want to do everyone a true favor, you appear to be randomly deciding what comments to post and which not to post, then do no post the bitter/angry comments regardless of which candidate they are/aren't supporting.

To everyone….
I also ask everyone on here, regardless of who you support, to refrain from posting attacking and hateful comments. This doesn't help the current situations of country or democracy at all. It's childish and no matter who you support, very sad and pathetic.

On this blog (a great point/idea from the blog)….
I think Governor Sebelius from Kansas is a great running mate, if (and most likely when, with the current state of the primaries) Obama wins the nomination. She's done some amazing things for the state of Kansas, if anyone reads background information on her, and she's done it all in a way that everyone can respect. She's made vast improvements in the economy of the state, held true to her believes without flip-flopping or pandering, and stood strong against corporate temptations/threats/monopolies. She's also been able to win, by a respectably large margin in a commonly Republican/moderate state for two terms.

Many have predicted she will run in 2012 or 2016, and stepping into the VP role with Obama would be a great step in the direction, as well as show Obama trying to mend the bridges (that's what we democrats and this country really need to do with so many groups, and in so many ways) with female voters that strongly supported Hillary as a female representative.

***************** RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT HILLARY********************

WE WILL SUPPORT YOU AND I AM SURE YOU WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!

I want someone on Hillary's side to actually give solid reasons for why they hate Obama so m
