This may get Obama the Presidency but it would give him and us nothing more than headaches for the next four years. Plus Obama would have to basically get Clinton to sign in blood that she wouldn't challenge him in re-election in 2012.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius or Gov. Bill Richardson are much better choices as VP. Even Webb or Hagel are better ideas than Clinton. With clinton, you are just handing her four years to chip away at Obama's popularity whenever she can and then stab him in the back in 2012.

It really is a shame – I went into this primary season liking both candidates and was willing to accept either (and would still 100% vote for a democrat over a republican in this election) but Hillary Clinton lost so much of my respect and she has no one else to blame for that but herself.

Lan Hennessy, if u only vote for dems cause of a name your not a dem because Mcsaine is for George bush policy's so dont try to threaten the party with your stupid nonsence.

Two powerful people on the same ticket? I don't think that's a good idea.

Governor Bill Richardson would make a better VP

No way!! She is exactly the kind of politics that Obama is trying to get away from. Republicans hate Clinton, so if you hope to bring some of that vote over, she is just not an option. and do you really think Obama wants Bill Clinton running his mouth around the White House. It will NEVER happen.

we want hillary as president so don't say we want her to be vice president we are going to have her in as a write in if not on ballet in nov. thats how some of us who supporters are going to do go hilllary go

NO WAY!! We, Obama's supporters will not let that happen, trust me!!!
HRC is going home after she retires from politics FOREVER!!!

We do not need Bill and Hillary in the WH again. This would be a major diaster and I mean major. Let's not even start this rumor. Hillary is not concerned about America; she concern how she will go down in history. I can't believe people don't believe this. Our future is not about Hillary; it's about a change needed in America such as adequate healthcare, ending a war, gas and food prices, education, and an understanding that all people are created equal. Ask yourself if you get cut what color will your blood be? Do you bleed white, black, latino (mexican), indian or asian blood. How ridiculous to even go there. We are all American and if God wanted this world to be all one color he had the power to made it all one color.

please don't bring sort of argument now, Obama is all about change and hope and Hillary is about the past and everyone knows she is not a honest politician, she will destroy Obama's reputation, Hillary better luck next time, thanks!

Why should the Democratic Party influence such a ticket anyway. We will be torn between good and evil. We will have Hillary doing her thing without Obama knowing and Bill giving advise as to how to do this and that which may take away from the positive image of what and how Obama plan to steer this country.

This is not what the American People ask for but what and why do our voice count if we don't see the change we are asking. Hillary do not want the change and so does her colleage, so this may be a little impossible for Obama. I guess we will see. God help this Country if Hillary is on the ticket. Evil in the White House.

I initially thought that the two of them on the same ticket would be great for the country but not any longer. There is just too much animosity between them to make this work. I think that the media should give up this idea and let Senator Obama figure out who would be a good fit for his ticket. He should choose someone with his ideas for the country as well as national security experience.

So 3/4 of Clinton supporters want her on the ticket. Not surprising. This is news because?

Obama should offer Hillary the VP spot.

He should also hire a food taster.

Hillary will do anything to win, and she has friends in low places.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Wow! I'd have to get my arms around this one. There has been a lot of crud that has come out of her campaign that we would have to swollow. Even HRC herself spouted the memorable, "Well, uh, I don't think he's a Muslim", "John McCain would make a good commander-in-chief and Obama has a speech he gave in 2002", "I would have quit that church", and the recent "Hard working people, er, white people" (does 'er' mean equals in Clinton speak?)....and there's so much more I can't remember right now.

I guess she will now say it is okay for him to answer that 3 a.m. call and that he is acutally electable. How would those sound bites play when your own VP in on tape questioning your basic fitness for the job?

I am not sure she gets the whole inclusive politics thing. Would the ticket be strengthened by adding someone who has been so divisive, employed the kitchen sink strategy, courted Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly?

I don't know. My gut tells me – "Barack, don't do it!"

If Senator Clinton is on the ballot with Obama, Obama will lose because of the Hillary factor.

This would be a mistake by the dems if they do this. Then again, we all know that the dems have an annoying habit of losing when victory is within their grasps.

I'm a Democrat, and I have ZERO desire to see Sen. Clinton in the VP slot. Sen. Obama should choose someone who agrees with his vision for America, someone who shares his positive and uplifting attitude, someone who can help him win over more moderates and independents, and someone he can trust. Sen. Clinton doesn't fit that profile at all.

Oh really? Clinton said Obama is not ready. Got very angry at people and said Obama can't win. Said she would begin throwing the kitchen sink at Obama. Even touted McCain over Obama. Clinton has run against this fellow democrat like he was an alien enemy. The racist and vile comments posted all over the blogosphere by those who claim to be her supporters have been eye opening. I wouldn't trust Clinton with a 10 ft. pole.

Clinton certainly has the machine behind her. But after the gas tax pandering, the sniper fabrications, the slurs about "hard-working whites", the elastic logic about MI and FL and what constitutes winning the nomination, etc., I don't believe she has the integrity necessary to be on an Obama ticket. After all of my support for the Clintons over the years, that saddens me. But I'm excited to see who Obama will pick; it'll be a formidable team.

Myself and my familly are Hillary supportors, we would love to see Obama and Hillary joind ticket for November against John McCain. That will be undefeat able team. If just Obama and no Hillary in the dream ticket, we will support Join McCain.""

Then you'll get the government you deserve.

I think that Bill Clinton cannot be contained and his ego will eventually and always get the better of him and what might be best for the Democratic Party or the country.

This country is responding to Obama's message of change and getting rid of the old-style politics. It would be a huge mistake, and one that could be conceived as not really be straight with the American people, if he now changed course and offered her a VP.

We need fresh starts and fresh new energy. I trust Obama to select someone of his stature and to compliment not just winning but working with the American people for a fresh beginning.

For someone who is about "change" and "turning the page", to select an artifact from the 90's as VP would make Obama the biggest hippocrit in Washington.

Not only that, I would not only vote for John McCain if HC was VP, but I would send at least $50 a month to McCain's campaign.

To Jane L- So despite the real voting returns, you are still in denial that she LOST?

To Debby – they may be right to worry since so many bitter Cllinton supporters will sit at home or vote for Bush again if Obama has rightfully won.

So many hillary people are in such denial that the process has played out and their candidate lost. There are racism charges, conspiracy implications, divisive comments that will make you all sit home. You're emulating your candidate. No matter what the voters say, she will never admit she lost, but that the better candidate wasn't chosen.

Will you vote for her as VP and accept Obama as the president or will you still think of her as co-president? Or still sit home since she didn't really lose?

this is a good idea. They will eventually kill each other on the campaign trail. Obama has talked about we need change and new people in the WH. Well, if Hilliary is VP, where is the change and where are the new politics. Bill will be trying to take over and run things and Obama wil not have that.

He needs someone else on his ticket. No offense to Hilliary.

If she is the VP, it will be as bad as giving her AND her husband the presidency. They cannot be in the shadows – they have to be in the forefront. She doesn't even like Obama and she bad-mouthed him for months – linking him to Farrakhan and pointing out the issues with his preacher on every occasion, now she wants to be on his ticket!?! Someone needs to teach this woman that you reep what you sow. You cannot run a negative campagn and get rewarded for it. She will not be selected as VP and I, as a Democratic supporter who will support the rightful nominee, will NOT contribute to Obama so that he can help her pay her campaign debt (subject of other articles on Fox and MSNBC).

If this situation were reversed and Clinton was in the lead, the DNC and the media would have forced Obama out by now. Because she is who she is, she is being allowed to throw her tantrums and carry on as she pleases. And if the shoe were on the other foot, would ANYONE be in support of Obama being on her ticket?!? Doubtful. I do not respect her or her motives. I see her now for who she really is, and I do not think she should be givenm the priviledge of leading this country.

I do not want Hillary as Obama's VP and have heard a lot of people who hold my views. Where did you get the statistics? Hillary represents the dirty, divisive politics. We can do better than that.

The idea that this ticket will be unbeatable is somewhat unrealistic. It in fact weakens the message Obama campaign and gives the Republicans plenty more to attack. There is the argument that this is a way to mobilize Hillary supporters that will turn to McCain in the general, but the fact is most of Hillary's constituency will turn to Obama regardless of what is being said now and having Clinton on the ticket – whom the right really dislikes – gives a better shot at the Republican party mobilizing their base and independents. The best shot for Obama, for better or worse, is to pick a moderate, experienced politician as a running mate. Bloomberg would be my choice, but I think that would be a longshot.

Senator Obama does not need Hillary Clinton as VP to win the election. She is too power hungary and after all the negative things she has done, the people don't want her on the ticket. These are only her people putting this info out.

I say no to Clinton.... she's too selfserving and disingenuous.... It took watching her campaign to realize she is in it for herself.... Kathy Sebelius is 'for the people' too. She's another one like Obama... the real deal.

I don't understand why those who support Hillary are so bent on voting for McCain in the general.

It is a spiteful, petty thing to do and shows no concern for our country whatsoever.

Please get out of your own selfishness long enough to support the DEMOCRAT because nothing good can come out of another 4 years of GWB, and that is what McCain offers.

Also, FL and MI knew what they were doing – and so did both Barack and Hillary – it was agreed to.

Barack has the popular vote and the delegates – it is time to UNITE as a country

NO!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!!

NO!!! NO!!!! NO!!! NO!!!!

NO!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!!

NO!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!!

NO!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!!

NO!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!!

NO!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!!

This is not the political style game that Barack is playing. Her style is old and 'CUT-THROAT. The polarization she brings will really wake the GOP to give them something to fight against more than the 'Wright Rev' himself!

So 3/4 of Clinton supporters want her on the ticket. Not surprising. This is news because?

That'll be the only way he can possibly win or even unite the party. It would be the only way i'd vote ofr him.

HE HAD BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA/CLINTON OR MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope he doesn't offer it to her. Then sit back and watch as the Clinton supporters either choose not to vote or choose to vote for McCain. Obama and his supporters can then say bye bye to the presidency.

By the way Clinton supporters don't hate Obama, we just think he would be the worst thing for the country.

There are better choices for VP. Name recognition only gets Clinton so far, she doesn't deserve to be on the ticket.

No, a majority of democrats don't want Hilary on the ticket. Please, no more Clintons in the whitehouse. As far as the polls saying Hilary supports won't vote for Barack, that won't be a sad day in America for the Democrats. If you are truly a Democrat and don't vote for the nominee it can only mean 1-you are racist or 2-you like the policies of Bush and want McCain to continue them. If you stay home and don't vote ask yourself what message you are trying to convey?

Clinton knows that the VP slot is almost a "kiss of death" for presidential aspirants.

She can't play 2nd fiddle to anyone, her ego is too big.

Actually, Jane L., the majority of dems prefer Obama. No matter how you slice the primaries and caucuses, and even if you add in the popular vote from Florida (because there was no choice in Michigan).

We don't want Hillary.

Obama/Richardson '08.

If Obama is such a great leader and genuinely seeks to UNIFY the party, he should lead by EXAMPLE by joining with Clinton to form an unbeatable ticket.

An Obama / Clinton ticket would FORCE the hateful supporters in each campaign "UNIFY" in support of the DEMOCRATiC party.

Like I said...it's PERFECT!!

Just go away Hillary...

Bad idea, would leave me wondering who to vote for.

Not me...white college educated woman, thats me, but I don't want the Clintons back in the white house, its time for a new, fresh start. Gen. Wesley Clark would probably be an excellent choice. Pick women for key positions, sure, but not Hillary for vp!

Hillary helps (maybe) on the campaign trail, not on the ticket. Ask Al Gore about "2 for the price of 1". I'm happy to be in the minority in saying that's the dumbest idea since the gas tax holiday.

If Obama puts Hillary on the ticket, I'm voting for McCain, no – Charles Manson, no – Hitler (sorry, just acting like a typical Clinton supporter)

I don't know where you are getting your numbers, none of the Obama supporter's I know would support Hillary as Vice President.

Obama is the factor that cancels out all other factors in me voting democratic this time. If the DNC wants me to continue being a democrat they need to get Obama off the ticket totally.

Never....

There's a smart reason for that.....OBAMA SIMPLY CAN'T WIN WITHOUT CLINTON!

It does not matter whether Obama likes it, whether his supporters like it, whether Clinton likes it or her supporters, or whether the Democratic party likes it....the only way the Democrats are going to win the General Election is for Hillary to be on the ticket.

If Obama does win the nomination but decides not to choose Clinton as VP...then he has committed political suicide. This Democratic race has been too close....there are just too many die-hard Clinton supporters that will not support Obama. If Obama wants to win the General Election, he is going to have to swallow his pride....as well as Clinton...or else McCain is our next president.

There is no place for her in Obama's cabinet

no, no, no, NO NO!!

Go away Hillary – we don't want to have to see your face or hear your voice ever again. The only ones that want her as VP are her supporters b/c they expect that she will take over.

I am an Obama supporter but If he picks her, I will be convinced that he is weak. If he can't stand up to this pushy (w)itch, how is he going to stand up to Putin, Ahmadinejahd or Kim Jong Il?

Hillary, please, think of something besides yourself ,for once........ take the high road, for once.... GO AWAY!

Can we put a moritorium on the phrase "close the deal"? Stop parroting talking points.

And for the last time, the deal is closed. Clinton cannot win. Why couldn't she put Obama away after Super Tuesday? She had been the presumptive nominee since Kerry lost in '04. She had 20 years of name recongition, and more political favors stored up than anyone could use in a lifetime. And yet, a little-known Afr.-Am. senator with a funny name fought off the Clinton machine, racism, and the conventional wisdom to become the nominee for president based on a platform of hope and optimism. I wish we had such a candidate in every election.

Obama's campaign will lose all credibility if he chooses Clinton for VP. They won't stand a chance against McCain. Obama has lots of other choices that will strengthen his ticket and do not have the political and personal baggage of HRC.

50 year old college educated white Texan for Obama.

It would be difficult to blend that team well. How can you have a change candidate whose VP is same old (lie, mislead and dissemble whenever it suits her)? Obama needs an experienced running mate who knows the economy. That certainly isn't Hillary. Among the democratic contenders, she had by far the least experience excepting Obama. The only reason she did well is women voters and her brand name. Funny that democrats don't realize the only achievement Bill Clinton had was to fix welfare (no permanent dole anymore). The economy doing well and the deficit reduction during his term was all from Bush Sr's tax increases. Hillary sure married well. Other than that, she's just an nearly empty suit holding a mean old bat.

Missy-If Obama asks Richardson to be his VP, he will lose even more Clinton voters. Besides Richardson's a flake. He comes out and says the the superdelegates should go the way of their constinuents and then turns and around and backs Obama, even though Clinton won his state. His excuse: oh it was close. So he believes every vote doesn't count. How democratic of him.

Let us not overlook that a large number of those voting want to see Hillary become President. This cannot be denied. What I am sick of is the media spinning the truth. Let the thing play out. This political process cannot deny so many voters. This CITIZENS of this country are speaking up. To deny Hillary a place would be detrimental. Obama's CHANGE is a good idea, but what IS that change? Does anyone really know? Dems need BOTH candidates in order to guarantee a win in NOVEMBER.

As an Obama supporter, I actually wouldn't mind Clinton as the V.P., despite the animosity during this campaign. I have said all along that I think she'd be a good president, and that has to be the first qualification for a V.P. Were she to win the nomination, I would support her. I'm not going to be in the ranks of Democrats who holds grudges because the general election is too important for that.

The tough part about this is that his central argument is that he wants to change DC by not inviting the same players back to the table, and she and President Clinton have been in that scene for almost 20 years. I don't know if there's a way for him to justify it. Also, she'd have to really go back on a lot of the things she's claimed about Obama in the primaries, and that might not be easy to pull off.

Can she be the VP? Sure. Should she be the VP? That's a tougher question.

No matter who's on the ticket with Barry Obama. I am one of millions of Americans who have been proud of our county my whole life and will never vote for him!

NOBAMA not now not ever!

Well we do have a V.P running the country now.

He better do something like that because he will not beat McCain.

“Why do Clinton supporters feel so ENTITLED?”

Any Dem that would support a republican because THEIR dem didn't get the nomination is no real Dem at all!

Fairweather Dems! Maybe this is how Bush won his second term and how it seems he'll win his third!

Hillary is not trust worthy now,or never. She's broke and money hungury so you can bet she won't be saving American's any money for the future.

GO OBAMA!!!

People are nuts. I think we have a big problem about ethic in government in the last 3 decades. The Clintons are some of the prime examples. If we want real change the way we operate our government, we will need to bury the Clintons for good.

She is hanging there for only that reason now.

I am still a bit apprehensive about it.

Too power angry the Clintons.

As an Independent voter reading these posts, I am amazed at the bitterness within the Democratic Party. Why don't you all (most of you) rise above the negative comments and post in a positive way that better reflects on your nominee, your party and OUR country.

All in all, the nominees are worthy choices and command respect.

Write your comment as if you were your chosen nominee. Dig a little deeper. You all can do it. We will then benefit from productive positive dialog not one-way diatribe.

As a Democrat, I believe Hillary as VP is wrong for SO many reasons. Not the least of which is that Obama does not need to be fighting off attacks against his VP during the general election campaign. Obama declined to go negative against Clinton. The Republicans have all of the negative ammo ready to fire at Clinton and her alleged lack of trustworthiness, e.g., Whitewater, Travelgate, Rose Law Firm, Vince Foster, and more recently the Sniper Fire incident.

Cllinton is an entrenched part of the Washington establishment that Obama has so diligently worked to distinguish himself from. Hillary's gamesmenship has been aptly demonstrated by her constant atttempt to change the primary election rules, including reversing herself on MI and FL, and by her support of measures such as the gas tax holiday. Choosing Clinton as VP fundamentally contradicts Obama's core philosophy. Clinton continues to have an important role to fill within the party, but VP is not it!

I thought the Pres and the V P were people with integrity, honesty, good moral character and trustworthy. I would agree that so far Obama seems that way, but why folks forget all the questional stuff Hillary has pulled, is beyond me why anyone would vote for such a self centered dishonest person.

NO!!!! She cannot be trusted.

I would be so disappointed if Obama chose her for political expediency. He and Michelle would have to spend every waking (and sleeping) hour to keep Billary from sticking knives in his back.

After what she has done, I don't want her in my party any more.

Yuck!! I can think of about twenty people I'd rather see as VP with Obama.

Not in a million years!!!!! Hillary would put a hit out on Barack because she is ENTITLED to be president. The Clintons are so dishonest I wouldn't trust them for a second! They would do everything they could to undermine his presidency... In fact, as much as I like Barack, I might have be like the Clinton supporters who say, "I will just vote for McSame"!

No way in hell should Hillary be his VP, she is too good for him.
umm ya ummm hmmm, ahhhh ummmm,, obama's exact words. The guy cant even speak properly.

Definitely not!!! I'm not a Hillary hater/basher; but she has shown too much dishonesty. We need political leaders we can have faith-in and can depend-upon. She has demonstrated an "it's all about me" attitude, and she continues to be too divisive. I believe her (and hubby Bill's) machinations (as will cause too much intrigue and turmoil to effectively lend support to Senator Obama's efforts to effect much needed change in our country. And I don't think it is right to prolong her nomination dreams, in the hope of extracting the consolation prize of VP.

You can count on this independent to NOT vote for an Obama/Clinton ticket. I can see the attraction of the ticket from a political point of view, but it would not represent Change the way Obama has been promoting it (and why I support him). Clinton as VP would represent, to me, Obama caving in to politics-as-usual. If that's the case, my vote will go elsewhere.

SHAME ON THE MEDIA AND JOHN KING AND ROVE AND MATHEWS AND OLBERMANN WHO KEEPS SAYING HILLARY IS DONE AND TOAST AND SHE SHOULD GET OUT OF THE RACE.
THE LAST TIME CHECKED THIS IS A DEMOCRACY AND THE MEDIA DOES NOT CALL THE ELECTION (WAIT…. YES HE MEDIA DID CALL THE ELECTION FOR BUSH IN FLORIDA IN 2000)

ANY WAY THIS IS AMERICA NOT SADDAM HUSSEIN'S IRAQ. YOU MEDIA DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY WHO SHOULD DROP OUT AND WHO SHOULD WIN.
LET ALL THE VOTERS VOTE FIRST AND THEN DECIDE.
STOP TRYING TO DERAIL THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS JOHN KING
YOU SHOULD JUST REPORT NEWS NOT GIVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL VIEW AND PREFRENCE.
STOP THE WITCH HUNT AND THE DOUBLE STANDARD.
LETS BRING REAL CHANGE TO THIS COUNTRY BY ELECTING THE 1ST WOMAN PRESIDENT IN AMERICA.

No Way! Sen Clinton has been completely malicious! I can see the swiftboat commercials now based on the venom that has spewed from her lips! And if you want to see the republican base come out put Clinton on the ticket. As for the people who say they will vote McCain, I'm shocked a women could say that. If you want your daughters to have any rights, you would not be that foolish. McCain was just quoted as saying, our men and women will never have to fight for oil again. If you are that foolish, I hope you are able to live with yourself when your family members and neighbors children are dying in Iraq, 5 years after mission accomplished. I understand your support for your candidate, but after all of this Sen. Clinton will still be a millionaire, while her mostly blue collar supporters are struggling to put food on the table. Something has got to change. Support Sen. Clinton until it's over, she very well may be the nominee but if she isn't vote for your own dreams and aspirations!

This is not a good idea. Obama does not need Bill Clinton offering voice of experience advice through VP Hillary. People with the best wishes for Obama and the country would not approve such a ticket.

Don Wharff – You have a ton of nerve saying that after the horrific train wreck this country has had to endure for nearly the past 8 years. Grandpa McCain is just 4 more years of Bush. Some people just don't have a clue! It's because of people like you that we are in the mess we are in.

CNN knows this to be a controversial issue. All this article does is further polarize an already divided Democrat party.

Well, this democrat does not think Clinton would make a good VP, she has lost my respect, when she went personally negative and her honesty is in question, as well as her integrity, so Im not sure where CNN gets their figures, but I do not believe that the majority of democrats want her as VP.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Don't do it Barack!!!!!!

Obama only will win the presidencial nomination in November, with
Hilary in the ticket. Is not only the "dream team" is "reality" why
He can not accept that. I am 80 years old and I predict it......

Jane – You must be a MCCain supporter.

The majority of Democrats ( even after you add in Mich and Fla.) want Obama. Some VP candidates besides Clinton : Bill Richardson, Kathleen Sebelius, Joe Biden, Bob Casey

I think your article said it best by stating this poll was heavly swayed by Clinton supporters. So having said I hope Obama picks someone which can help him bring real change.

NOOOOOO! Stop this talk. No Hillary on the ticket! Please stop this madness!

Not me.

I want the Gov. of Kansas!! =-)

Obama? Nothing more than a pole turtle...what is that you say? If your ever driving along and see a turtle sitting atop a pole, you know he isnt suppose to be there, someone put him there, and he has no idea what to do while he is up there...
Go HIllary!

Not this one. I really hope he does not chose her. He does not need her baggage dragging him down.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS- The reason why Obama supporters can not support Hillary is: 1) She should be more humble, don't expect the nomination! 2) Don't lie in public, especially if you have video proof you are! 3) You should have left your husband once you found out he was cheating on you...yes even in the White House, shows character and integrity.

No to clinton and Obama ticket. Its too political. thats not the change in washington that Obama is trying to achieve. The candidate thats supported by most lobbyist on his ticket as a contraditory to his message

You democratic are just plain dumb, give me a break. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

She'll take over the microphone, the bible, the WH, the command in chief, then sworn herself in as the pres of the US, kick Obama out anytime. She can't be VP.

Oh no they won't steal it but it will be hers!!
And if any of you know anything about the Clinton's you know exactly how SHE will be president!

Keep them away far, far away!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!

That's what the senior politician or Reps/Sen. wants but majority of the people or member wants Hillary C.

Not I....Obama has made it thus far with abstronomical odds against him....He's been pulled into uneccessary drama, controveries and so much hate & racist rhetoric, but yet he's still standing. Not one super or pledge delegates has left his campaign, but yet he gain some of her support......she has repeatedly said, he's not ready to be president, he can't win white hard working voters...that was so discouraging being a 37 year old african amercian single parent...i feel no one works harder than me....that totally turn me completely off from the clintons. there are plenty of people to choose from and he will make the right judgement call on the vp slot and he will win the general election!

I do so hope that, if he asks her, she says "No!". He has no business being the President of the United States of America and she should not choose to be 1st Mate on his sinking ship if he actually wins in November. I'm not all that worried though as I don't think she would accept the offer, for her own good/future.

Obama, PLEASE do not put the Hill-Billies on your ticket....They will stab you in the back some time down the road.
You are dignity and the are pitiful!

That would be a tragedy. I don't want Obama-Clinton ticket.
I want Obama- but never Clinton.

I will be VERY disappointed in Obama if he picks her for those "hard-working white voters who have not finished college"

NO,NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.............BLANKETY BLANK NO!!!!!

Jane L.: "Actually, the majority of democrats wanted Clinton to be president"

Well you'd think so, but good old reality has shown that to not be true.

NO WE DON'T

Honestly, I feel that if Clinton was put into a VP position she would manipulate the system in any way possible to put herself and or her agenda first. Every move made by Obama would have to be to be a cautious one because the moment he allows a window for her, she would burn him for it. She is desperate, and it is pathetic.

She is a wolf in sheeps clothing but she is against many in her own party and not afraid to burn important bridges – that is disconcerting

NONONONNOONONONONONNONONONONONONONO

No...No...No

I like Clinton but I don't believe this is the right decision
Many factors need to be considered for a good team

Dean... your "Orwellian nightmares" comment just went WAY over most Clinton supporters' heads...

Actual Jane L., The majority of democrats want Obama to be president. This is why he leads in all categories. I don't think they can have a joint ticket together. They have torn each other apart over the past months. There are still a lot of other people Obama could choose which would put any "inexperience" away. The president is one piece of the government. The people he surrounds himself with will define his presidency (as with any candidate).

What "majority of democrats" want Clinton to be president??? Where? W. Virginia??

Obama 08

What the majority of Democrats know is that Mrs. Clinton should be at the helm, not Mr. Obama. If he wins the nomination, Mr. Obama may offer the VP spot to Mrs. Clinton, but hopefully she will not accept. She is much too important a figure in American politics to sign on to a sinking ship.

Mr. Obama will not win the general election, and Mrs. Clinton should not and will not want to be aligned with yet another failed Democratic candidate. The Democratic Party continues to show that it has no interest in winning the White House. Al Gore gave up, John Kerry was mush, and Barak Obama has a hidden agenda which obviously does not include being President for all Americans.

If Mrs. Clinton does not win the nomination, she is obligated to support Mr. Obama, but the majority of her core supporters are not. Mrs. Clinton is the right person for to run this country and this does not change if she loses the nomination. Between Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama, John McCain will win handily.

There is not a snowball chance in hell that Senator Obama would have Hillary Clinton on his ticket. Why would he have someone carrying that much baggage( Bill Clinton) and who had laid claim to the office before the campaign started?
He would be totally undermined at every turn...back room deals by the Clintons and their cronies. Common sense people.

A strong Clinton victory would not materially change Obama's prospects nationally. But it would lay bare the racial divisions and other polarizing aspects of the protracted and often bitter Democratic contest.
--–
This is why this liberal democrat will NOT vote for Obama. I am sick and tired of the insinuations by the media and the democratic elitist that I am a racist if I support Clinton.

The thought of Clinton anywhere near the whitehouse makes me want to blive all over myself. I'd rather blive into a cup and eat it.

She would bring him down if she was on the ticket she is a liar and that would go against everything His campaign stands for because she is the example of Old Kind of Politics

I don't believe that for a moment. The American people know that if she is on the ticket, she will continue to be devicive and to push her way thru the crowd. People want a change in the way things are rrun in Washington, and Clinton is part of the old guard who still likes making back room deals. No Clinton on the ticket!

As much as Barack fans do not like Hillary, they need to understand that this is the only way to keep Hillary's fans on the bus. It makes sense to me. We've all been told not to hold grudges, have the fight, regret the mistakes or hard feelings, but in the end it is always best to make up. Forgive each other as religion would say and move on. It is the only way to bring supporters together. And for me the only way, I personally would vote for Barack and no, I'm not a democrat or republican. I'm unaffiliated and ride the middle.

Jane L...you had better do your math homework...more have voted for Obama. That is why she lost the nomination. Why would Obama pick someone who continues to say she is better than him...Duh doesn't make a lot of sense does it?

Hillary is NOT trustworthy. She also comes with Bill at her hip...

Obama has run his own race and won....he didnt have 2 xtra ppl crisscrossing each state campaigning, plus he didnt have a well known name and he was still strong enough to win the nomination.......

Obama should be able to chose someone that compliments him and what HE stands for. Not a polar opposite..ie.Clinton(s)

Please post this.

Absolutely not. His whole platform is change and new politics and Hillary represents neither of those.

Hillary, please do not accept the VP. Let this guy sink on his own and then come back in 2012. By then these lunatic liberals (left wing of democrats and liberal media) will come to senses.

That would be good as long as it is clearly understood that she will be the VP and not Bill Clinton. It would take a lot of pressure off of the coward superdelegates that knew they should have ended this after NC and Indiana's race.

As David Bergen said the other night on AC 360, "If he chooses her, some people in Obama's camp feel he will need to hire a food taster."

I think it is absolutely absurb..hilary clinton should NOT be on the ticket! i believe in obama and his ideas of "change" and w/clinton on the ticket there is no way. a clean slate for obama...his cabinet...his choices NOT the DNC dictating so she will get out of the race...she needs to get ot becuz the american people have spoken...she found "her voice"...she needs to find her EXIT.......

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I personally don't want her to be on the ticket. Let McCain take the office in November so Hillary can take him out in '12.

This party has done Ms. Clinton a major disgrace and I cannot forgive those that abandoned her.

As a life-long Democrat, I am honestly torn on this question.

I am an Obama supporter (though I did vote for Hillary in the CA primary before I really knew Obama). I also have become less and less supportive of Hillary with her "scorched earth" method of win or die in this primary.

I am concerned that bringing Hillary into the ticket will harm Obama's message of change. To some voters, this will imply "more of the same" and could actually hurt Obama's support from non-demos. The Democratic congress has done NOTHING since it took over in 2006. Certainly, GWB has vetoed everything. But, they dont' even try. And, Hillary is a part of this. yes, Obama is too but not so much as he's new. Additionally, Hillary is a very strong willed person who could want to get her way. Additionally, Bill becomes even more of liability as he might feel he's the expert and Obama needs his constant advice.

BUT, the Democratic party appears to be more divided now than at any point I can remember. Just read the postings here. People on both sides of the issues are fighting like cats and dogs, Democrats and Republicans. Maybe this is one way to bring the party together. If we don't , we WILL LOSE IN THE FALL! There is no doubt in my mind. And, even if we Obama supporters can blame Hillary and her minion for the loss, as our county continues on this fast train to Hell, it won't really matter...

I prefer AL Gore or John Edwards to be on the ticket with Obama. I think Obama need a non confrontational partner. I don't think it would work with Hillary. I think Obama, Gore, and Edwards have views that United States needed since the voodoo economics. It's been down hill ever since. One thing the american public is not thinking about is, if Hillary was elected, how would the middle east work with her. For one, our relationship is already suffering over there. We all know how the middle eastern countries views are toward women. I'm a female. I don't think the is a good thing right now for our country. Sure, we have women issues, but not enough. My concerns are being employed with keeping my job in this country, gas, environment, and my healthcare. I considered myself a blue collar worker. I TOTALLY DISAGREE with the bull that Hillary is getting all the votes for blue collar workers. I think she is getting more so the prejudice votes. Don't get me wrong, I love Hillary. Why can't we just get alone?

Hillary would not settle for VP, it would show her as a weak woman, taking second best. I don't want her as VP, Hell I don't want her as Pres. She is too strong of a person to except second......this race isn't about the country it is about her status and President was it.... I want Obama to pick a woman, but someone else, I believe the governor Kathleen S. would be good, she has been on board from the beginning and she ran a good election in her state.

This is such a bad idea, and notice it is only the Clinton sd that want this...have thier cake and eat it too. She is too old school and Obama is trying to change the way things are being ran....I just don't think it would work.....

After the way Hillary treated Obama so badly during this election season? Obama is a good man... most likely better than me because the answer would be no way for me.

Great, yes she should be the VP.

Hillary and Bill are not accustomed to driving from the back seat. I think it would require great discipline and humility on both of their parts to play a supporting role to Obama or anyone else who held the coveted number one spot. They have both proven over the course of this campaign that neither of them have the discipline to refrain from using divisive tactics that may hurt the overall goals of their party. Humility just isn't in their vocabulary. The bottom line is: "They think that they can do it better and will undermine Obama at every opportunity.". Another word of warning, be wary of Bob Barr. He is entering the race as a surrogate to sling the get-down-dirty mud that John McCain has vowed not to do. After all, V.P. candidate Romney can't do it all. The other side has lots of tricks...

I will never vote for Obama with Clinton on the ticket. He would lose so many of his own supporters if he did that crap.

Mrs. Clinton should not accept the vp position (if asked to) Obama has unclaimed baggage. Once there is buyers remorse she should run as and independent and she will win. Lets have a REAL choice this election. Independent, rep, dem, Lib and green!!! Then when she wins NO ONE can say she didnt win it FAIR AND SQUARE!!!!

If so many democrats want Hillary as VP, since she cannot have the top spot, they should contribute to her campaign to help with her debt. That would be support as well. Her current debt would sink the Titanic, if it wasn't already at the bottom of the ocean.

No VP slot. Obama wants to move away from the old Wahsington Politics then leave her out. Bring a fresh face like Wesley Clark or someone with deep foreign policy experience. Let's go. Take over the White house.

The biggest disaster since George Bush would be Hillary as V.P.

I will seriously doubt Obama's sanity, if he folds under pressure, and picks her.

Barack have to choose between his wife michele and Hillary Clinton, because it seems that the white house is not big enough for those 2 ladies

Why would he drag along a woman who will have to be spending a whole lot of time testifying as a material witness in her husband's trial after the election?

Jane L. That is a humorous comment, considering the fact that Obama has the popular vote lead, even with MI and FL counted as they are.

No, No , No!!!! OBAMA/HAGEL 08 ..... PERIOD !!!!!
Hillary will bring all her dirt and smoot to the Obama – and changes the keys to the Oval office each chance she gets !!!

In the beginning Hillary and Barack would have been a good ticket. However, Hillary ran such a nasty campaign like the Republicans against Barack. This would not be a good ticket. She tried everything to discredit Barack and throw him to the wolves (Republicans).

Sorry

Obama has the right to pick whomever he want to be on the ticket.
Having Hillary and Bill on the ticket would ruin this country. Obama can pull voters that Hillary can't , young, new , independent and republican voters. THe news media isn' t telling you this. This is how he has most delegates, most states won and popular vote. The media has try to sell us on the idea that people aren't or won't vote for Obama. Then how did he get in the lead, in every thing. Race and gender didn't do it.

ConsDemo:

Actually, that might work. After all, she was co-president when her husband was in office.

I'd like to see her back in the White House for one reason: I'm curious who she'll pick as an intern!

this reminds me of the song by johnny rivers called "the snake" check out the lyrics.

I think this would be the best decision Obama could make in uniting the democratic party.

Both bring a vase amount of experience, sincere will to serve the people and I believe overall they both due truly respect eachother dispite certain events that have taken place throughout the campaign.

It would not be the first (JFK) or last time a decision like this will benefit the party as a whole.

Both have come so far, let's do it for the party people!

Please no.

Of course that would be a tremendous ticket for democrats. We were lucky enough during this election to choose from a number of tremendous candidates (even above the two that still remain). Putting both Clinton and Obama on a ticket would bring democrats out in droves.

Unfortunately, I wonder if it would weaken the political strength of the ticket. I believe that disappointed Clinton supporters ultimately will be unwilling to vote for McCain and his (possibly) two conservative supreme court appointments. Our goal as democrats will be to lure independents and conservatives who overwhelmingly (and often unfairly) dislike Mrs. Clinton.

With so many tremendous choices for VP, I think Senator Obama will ultimately offer the position to Sen. Clinton out of respect. She will turn it down for the good of the party, and we'll have a strong ticket in November to trounce John McCain.

Count me out as wanting Hillary and Bill on the ticket. They are everything Barack is not. Obama is trying to change politics and he can't do it with the King and Queen of destructive politics on the same ticket. I used to like and respect the Clinton's but not anymore. They showed their true colors during the past few months. Barack would need a food taster if she was his VP.

I don't get why after all the nasty things she said about him he would consider it. Also if she was offered and accepted that would be a mighty big crow pie she would have to eat after the comments.

I'm not a big fan of McCain and I think Obama would better serve our country as statesman but all you Clinton supporters baffle me. You are acting so childish and mature claiming to write her in or vote McCain. Remember these 3 things:

1. Her policy stances are identical to Obama, and don't issue mean anything to you, or do you vote on superficial characteristics.

2. If 50% of Democrats defect the party to make sure Obama loses and hope Clinton runs again in 4 years, what do you think the 50% of Obama supporters are going to do in 4 years when she runs?

3. The Republican machine has you eating out of there hands and you are foolish enough to believe it is Obama causing this.

Lastly for every nasty/taunting Obama supporter comment on here I can quote the same from a Clinton supporter, so everyone needs to grow up and show a little maturity! Remember the President only proposes ideas, Congress must enact them.

Jane L.......If the majority of democrats wanted her to be president why did she lose the nomination. You had better take a math lesson. And why would anyone choose someone who has said he is not ready to be president.....I am the best choice....Hillary has killed any chance by her being so arrogant and stupid....

Please spare us.

Why not?
I look forward to reading some silly/stupid comments from trash Republican guys that pretend to be Hillary supporters hoping that can widen the division between Real Obama supporters and Hillary supporters.
We are not such a fool !!!

Clinton should not and will not accept the VP spot with Obama. She does not want to be responsible for the destruction of America. History will record this election as a turning point in The American Empire. Whether McCain can hold the country together as a strong nation or whether Barak will usher in the destruction of the United States as a world power. That is what is at stake in this election.

If it happens, Obama better hire a food taster.

I don't mind just as long as Bill Clinton stays out of the presidental office. And Hillary respect him as her peer and stop talking so negative about Obama. But, it's not going to work. Because Hillary don't want to be a follower she wants to be the leader.

The hell you say!

When are people going to understand that their styles are too different to work together? The main similarity in that sense is that they're both alpha-types, which isn't helpful when they should be working together.

Let Obama pick his own running mate. Surely all of you Hillary supporters don't really believe that with everyone else in the Democratic Party at his disposal, that she is the one who would best mesh with his agenda and thought processes.

Give it up CNN...your job is to report news not to try and make it!!

No, No, No, No, No, No, No! ! ! !

Do what now?!
That is SO not the change we are looking for. NO MORE Clinton in the white house. PERIOD.
Barack, you know better.

I guess McSame will ask Hagee to be his V.P

I support Obama for President, but I would never vote for him if Hillary were on the same ticket.

Hillary is done as a political leader in this country. She has destroyed the healing of the races and destroyed the goodness in many Americans. Her campaign is full of racists. James Carville and Bill Clinton included.
If the democrats put her in any position I will not support this party. I am white and I am appalled by her actions.

Hillary Clinton has totally played the race card and has aligned herself with any and all racist voters in West Virginia. I believe she purposely made those comments about hard working white people to say to West Virginia support me so we can make sure the black guy does not win.
She is down deep a Racist Pig!!!!

If you know much (well, -anything-) about United States politics, you'd know that the President and VP don't actually do much "working together." Just because Cheney wiggles Bush around like a marionette, doesn't mean the normal relationship is anything like that. I don't care for Hillary, but if making her VP is enough to convince her stubborn and ignorant voters to choose Obama over McCain in November, so be it.

Dear Mr. Obama,

Please don't choose Hillary as your VP. Some might consider it the dream ticket, but you need someone who shares your values and can move this country in a new direction. Plus it would be nice if you chose an older (experienced) white male as your veep so the ticket won't seem so "different" to all of those folks who are a little wary of electing a black man.

Thank You,
Obama '08

NEVER, EVER, NEVER IN A HUNDRED YEARS. Having this divisive and dishonest woman undermines all that Mr. Obama stands for. If she is anywhere on a ticket, I will vote for McCain even though I have support Barack with money, time and enthusiasm. Having her 2nd in command is too scary for me.

NONONONONO Way!

Ummmm...how about 'no'

Hillary will not decline a VP offer. It'll be a great spot to undermine Obama's presidency!

WHAT MAJORITY? No one ever asked me, or anyone I know, 100% of whom think this would be the stupidest idea imaginable...

Jane L.
"Actually, the majority of democrats wanted Clinton to be president."
Why didn't they vote? Because of those whom voted, your statement is undeniably false.

Why would anyone want to add enemies (Hillary's enemies, not Hillary being an enemy) to their ticket? Obama needs to add an older, probably white, male with a solid military background to his ticket. That is how he brings more people to his ticket rather than drive them away from his ticket.

Obama would be wise to put Clinton on the ticket for the following reasons:

1. States he cannot win in the fall, like Kentucky, Ohio, PA, FL, MI, AK, NH, WOULD NOT GO TO MCCAIN.

2. It would be a tital wave election.

3. The ticket would be HISTORY as the first AA and Woman VP

4. He gets the benefit of Clinton's Fundraising Machine (Don't forget, she too, made history in fund raising).

5. Clinton would work harder for Obama than any other VP in history. (That is in her mold).

I think that would be a disaster for Obama. Hillary can say she wants to be his ally and supporter (in order to get the VP spot), but in reality, he would be enlisting BOTH of the Clintons to be on the ticket. The Clintons don't like playing 2nd fiddle to anyone and would be playing politics under the table and undermining Obama. They are power hungry people and will do ANYTHING that will make them look good...even stabbing Obama in the back at every turn. Obama needs to be his own man...not Hillary Clintons "boy". She is racist and evil and he needs no part of that.

SAY NO TO HILLARY AND BILL BARRACK!!!!!!

All the Obama people keep saying the Clinton supporters wont vote for Obama and we hate him. Thats not true, we arent voting for him cause he isnt QUALIFIED... WE DONT HATE HIM.

A GREAT IDEA. THE ONLY DRAW BACK IS THAT IT WOULD BE LIKE ADDING OIL TO WATER. HRC IS THE PAST. A PRESIDENCY OF MR. OBAMA IS A TOTAL BREAK OF WHAT POLITICS USE TO BE. WE FEEL THAT ALL THOSE OLD HEADS (NEO-CONS) THAT HAVE GOTTEN OUR COUNTRY INTO THIS MESS WE ARE IN CURRENTLY
SHOULD BE REPLACED. IF THIS COUNTRY IS TO START ON ANY ROADS OF CHANGE THEY SHOULD BE PLACED IN REAR VIEW
MIRROR. THE GRAY HEADED SYNDROME DON'T OFFER ANY KIND OF HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE. THEIR EXPERIENCE WAS FOR THEIR TIME.

If possible Hillary Clinton should run as an independent!

Jane L.

If the majority of Democrats wanted her to be President, wouldn't she be winning? It's time to let it go.

Oh Hill NO Thanks!

What Dems are being counted? I don't want Hillary anywhere around at all!

I don't want her as the nominee and I don't want her as a VP. Hillary has done nothing but trash Obama and brought down the Democratic Party all for her personal objectives.

Voting for Hillary simply because she's a woman is completely stupid! I am a woman and sure I'd like to see a woman president but she's not the best choice for comander in chief – Barack is!

Hillary's racist divide should not be rewarded by any means!

BARACK OBAMA 08!

It would be a bad fit for Obama, and it wouldn't change his entire campaign of bringing change to Washington. You can't bring change when you bring along one of the largest political machines in recent history.

It would be a really bad match.

HELL TO THE EFFING NO!!

I think not Jane L. The proof is in the NUMBERS

Thank God Obama will never be President. That's just scary. He's clueless with too many shady connections.

I just can't imagine Hillary being under a nobody like him. It's like you changing places with your boss! Give me a break.

Hillary....GO INDEPENDENT if the DNC continues to push you away!

Actually the majority of democrats want Obama to be President. Votes count not polls. Most delegates, most states won, most popular vote. So how did you get the notion most people want Hillary?

Sorry the Clinton's already had their term(s) in the whitehouse.

Obama would need a food taster if Hillary and Bill are in the white-house with him. I just can't see them not trying to sabotage and undermine every effort Obama puts forth as president.

Not this democrat, and not any that I've personally spoken to.

I "blive" too, Chucky.

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?

I dont! I think Obama should drop out and be Vp. Mrs. Clinton has the credentials to back up being presiden. Obama is running on hope. I hope I hit the Lotto tonight. But I am realistic. If Mrs. Clinton does not get the nomination, I am hoping that she will run as an independent. Because choice is good! And with Nader, and Bar running along side of B.O and McCain I know Hilary will win! And then all her critics can never say she didnt win Fair and Square. Because B>O> has baggage and I think there will be buyers remorse sooner than later. But I dont think any of it is comming out until hes the nominee.

I honestly think this would be a good idea. I know about Obama's idea of change, and I like that, but you can't have change without everyone on board. Hillary as the VP would heal the democratic party quickly. Though, Obama would have to carry the baggage of the Clinton's while he was in office. On the flip side, he might not be able to win otherwise.

Never in a million years should Obama choose Hellary. Every decision he makes will be attributed to her and he would become exactly what Maureen Dowd describes in her May 11 column in the New York Times column "Is She a Trojan Rabbit"

" Obama will never be at his best around Hillary; she drains him of his magical powers. She’s Jane Jinx to him. It’s a similar syndrome to the one Katharine Hepburn’s star athlete and her supercilious fiancé have in “Pat and Mike.”

The fiancé is always belittling Hepburn, so whenever he’s in the stands, her tennis and golf go kerflooey. Finally, her manager, played by Spencer Tracy, asks the fiancé to stay away from big matches, explaining, “You are the wrong jockey for this chick.”

“You know, except when you’re around, we got a very valuable piece of property here,” he says, later adding, “When you’re around, she’s no good, she’s dead, see?”

The best way Obama can punish Hillary is to reward himself. He’s no good around her, see? "

No Obama. choose Bloomberg, Wesley Clark, never Hellary.

I personally don't want her to be on the ticket. Let McCain take the office in November so Hillary can take him out in '12.

This party has done Ms. Clinton a major disgrace and I cannot forgive those that abandoned her.

...which means we'll have three consecutive terms of the Vice President being more qualified than the President to run the country.

If Sen. Obama is forced to have to take hillary as his VP he will lose all the trust and support he has gained. When most of Americans know she is not to be trusted and is not trustworthy how could the world leaders ever trust her in any leadership role? She would be dead weight for him. And she would set out to sabotage his first four years as President for her self in 2012. If some are not smart enough to understand that then I guess He deserves what he gets. Never forget there is nothing straight forward and honest when it comes to any clinton.

If this liar, this hypocrite, this...this...CLINTON...is part of that ticket, I, and all the other "swing" vote republicans who would vote for Obama in a heartbeat WILL vote for McCain, and the Dem's chance of gaining the WH will wither and rot...

A vote for Hillary is a guaranteed win for the Republicans...

I dare you CNN, I double dare you to print this

If she does get on the ticket....hide all the knives.

Let's get real– Obama/Clinton is not going to happen, and it shouldn't happen. Two presidents (Bush and Cheney) didn't work, and three presidents (Obama, Hillary and Bill) certainly will fail. For the love of God, people, let it go. Obama's the nominee– let him pick HIS candidate. Jim Webb, Tim Kaine, Kathleen Seibilus, Janet Napolitano, Wesley Clark, even Mike Bloomberg would be a better fit than Hillary.

The candidate has the right to choose his own runningmate, based on a variety of factors. To be foisting a preselected person for the VP upon him would be to hamstring him in the general, as well as during his administration. This may be enticing fantasy to engage in, but it is counter-productive in reality.

The teaming of Obama and Hillary makes sense, regardless of whether they get along. Both have fought difficult and groundbreaking campaigns.

You better believe these two are talking privately about how to make it work.

Such a teaming would be very difficult to defeat in November. The GOP would need someone a whole lot better than McCain to do it!

I don't think this is an ideal ticket for Obama and should be allowed the luxury of choosing his own VP. As I've said in other posts, there are plenty of talented Democrats out there that would be more suitable for Obama. A woman would be great but anyone that can balance the ticket would be good. I personally wouldn't want to see either Clinton as the VP choice.

I am a Hillary supporter. If Obama does get the nomination, I definitely want Hillary on the ticket. I think they would be unbeatable.

Oh yeah? Well a majority of Republicans said seven months ago that Rudy Giuliani would make a great nominee for their party, so...

Hillary for president!!!!!

Don't let the media drag you down.
Its the people who want you. Let them be heard today !!!

I can see it now with Hillary being V.P. She and Bill will be having newsconferences usurping the President at every opportunity. The best thing President Obama could do is to send them to Bosnia, after the Boznian's receive sniper training.

In short, having Hillary (and yes, Bill) as V.P. is a two headed viper.

It should be the other way around. Clinton Obama ticket.

Obama cannot beat Mccain in November because the RESKO
SCANDAL will by then a BIG ISSUE. When Obama said it is a Boneheaded Move, it only means that he really received money from rackeeter Resko.

Will somebody, anyone, everybody tell the CLINTONS to take their circus and worn out clowns and just disappear, PLEASE !!!!!

No way Clinton should be V.P.

The Dems. are getting scared now that Obama can't close the deal in Nov. without Hillary this is to funny hahaha.

I might accept this if and only if the situation was reversed. Hillary as President. I hope it won't come to this because I hope and pray that Senator Clinton will be the nominee and all of this can finally move forward. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT, NOT V.P. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she ran courageously against odds but always with racial whispers now is the time to heal the party and country. let her suggest a vp candidate like wsley clark etc and pursue an honourable senate career. both of them on the same ticket is not a good idea. what if she and bill undermine his presidency. think about that.

Senator Chuck Hegel is the brilliant choice. No-strife bi-partisan ticket foretelling bi-partisanship in D.C. Viet Nam vet; anti-Iraq war; pro life; could make everyone happy and is characteristic of Barack's ideas for the nation. Mary

i for one vote obama if he has this sorry excuse as a runniug mate

Having Clinton as VP to Obama will be like having a newborn be parent to an adult. But anyway, I'll take Senator Clinton. She has been lambasted throughout this campaign and the sexism she's encountered far outweighs the racism I would have thought that Obama would have encountered. She deserves something for her ground-breaking efforts!

Not. Gonna. Happen.

Sorry slight majority. If people want Democrat to win in November, Hillary should stay home or move to Canada. The Clinton have more dirt, scandals, and fraudulent activity than any other president. Let's not forget that Clintons are supposed to show up in court in November. Republicans will dig all the stuff up and throw at her. Republicans even have a movie on the Clintons.

No Obama..please do not choose her as the VP. Choosing her as a VP will be like choosing Bill and Hillary together. They will ruin the White House. Let this race run its course.

While I'm not a personal fan of the "Dream Ticket", I do think it would guarantee a landslide victory in November. Personally, I'd like to see Senator Obama offer VP to a Republican or Independent. However, I would stand by an Obama/Clinton ticket 100 percent.

Take back America '08!

I don't want Hillary as Vice... but

Gore would be nice.

I think that would be the worst thing for the party and for Obamas election bid!

She runs her campaign completley different, she uses negative attacks and is very old school washington! Having Hillary as VP goes against everything Obama has been talking about!

However I can see why CNN are running this story! What will you write about when she's out of the race?

i still am not sold on the idea of Hillary being on the ticket. Aside from the animosity this campaign has generated between the different camps, what does Hillary really bring to the table? I actually like the ideal of Hagel more than Clinton.

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-always have.), but it's disturbing that folks are willing to let the nation continue on its path of destroying itself by voting for McCain-just because they are angry.
Look, it's very clear Barack is HARDLY a perfect candidate and he has a lot of things to learn- BUT are we so desperate to see Hillary succeed that we don't care what happens to the country? Please look at the BIG Picture. Truly- I want to see Hillary as president, but folks out there are going too far on the deep end with wanting to punish America and getting revenge if she doesn't get the nomination.

Man! It's like the MOB really needs her to be in the White House, huh???

I believe, Hillary wants to be on the ticket cause she does not want to go back to the Senate. And because she needs to pay off $20+ mil. And, most of all, because she wants to keep the Clintons legacy going!

Unfortunately, Hillary and Barack do not compliment each other.

Barack needs someone with strong military credentials.

If Hillary does not win the nomination (which is very probable), I hope that she is selected as Obama's VP running mate.

I will probably vote for McCain if this does not happen because I still have serious concerns about Obama's inexperience. I honestly think that he would have major problems in getting support from Hillary's voter support base (myself included).

Too much baggage. If she had been a little more civil during this process I would be all for it but too much has happened and she brings to the table far too much political baggage.

Also, because she said that she would do whatever it takes to win, many are seeing her in the VP position as one who would work to undermine the President so that she can run and win in 2012.

Now, if she can convince the country that her baggage is not a crutch and that she will give 200% support to the President, then and only then would I consider her a viable VP candidate.

all they want is her to be on the ticket, she lost it is up to Obama to pick his running mate, Billary no

How many people did they ask? Were they all Clinton supporters? I think that would be a terrible idea.

NO, WE DON"T WANT HILLBILLY OR SLICK WILLY AROUND

For pete's sake, either of them alone is bad enough, why make it worse by putting them together. Daggone it

"good bye my friend
it IS the end"

LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! SEND McBUSH PACKING EVEN B4 HE GETS THERE!

No way Hillary!

You won't be our VP!

SDs and counting! So far this morning – Obama got 4-Superdelegates!

Way to go!

obama/Sebelius 08

In their dreams.....she is bad news.....she is a lair and dishonest person.....who is going to control Bubba.....he will be chasing the female white house staff.

We need change from the past. Obama is future and Clinton's are from the past.

What’s the deal with CNN love affair with Clinton? Remember, Clinton stated that she and John McCain have a lifetime of achievement to be Commander and Chief while Barrack just gave a speech. Why would he pick her as VP so both of them could answer non-stop questions about Clinton Belittling Obama through out the Primary Campaigns?

That ticket would not work. Obama is incompetent. Does not matter, if Hillary does not get the nomination, I will be voting for McCain as a protest vote. I will never vote for Obama. All mouth and no action.

NO......NO.......NO...............NO............NO...........NO........NO

I would not vote for that woman if she were running for garbage collector of my city!

But in the end I want us out of Iraq, so I guess I will have to hold my nose when I pull the lever.

CNN, you people never let up. Does she owe you people something????? Everyother news stations

Billie holiday/jennifer hudson,im borrowing you song
"there's no no no no way
no no no no way."

Actually, the majority of democrats wanted Clinton to be president.

Putting Clinton on the ticket for VP would be a slam dunk victory for Mc Cain as it should be. She as well as Obamma are not friends of the USA and the 2 most dangerous to a civilized world.

I keep hearing people say Obama and his supporters are 'hateful', and yet it is the Clinton supporters who will "Definitely never vote for Obama", while most Obama supporters say they would vote for Hillary.

So I ask – who is hateful? I keep getting these Orwellian nightmares "Hate is Love", "Bitterness is Contentment", "Liberal is Conservative". Scary...

How can she be a VP candidate? She always "believed" that Obama is not ready for Presidency. With that kind of attacks, and given that she DESPERATELY wants to be the President, I would not trust her in the VP seat.

This is an idiotic idea. Hillary would expect to be a "co-President", there is no way that would work. I've yet to see any evidence an Obama-Clinton ticket would be the strongest in the general election and there are certainly plenty of others who bring real (as opposed to self-declared) experience that Obama needs to balance the ticket.

I think putting Hillary on the ticket is the fastest way to bring the party together. That being said, Obama will have to think about the possibly of winning the election with Clinton as VP. She would probably be one of the most powerful VPs, even more so than Cheney.
And I'm pretty sure a President cannot fire a VP as they are elected.

The Dems lost this election. Obama won't chose Clinton and the party will remain divided, clearing the way for McCain to be the next president.

Hillary is a sad woman–and I can't wait until she exits stage left. She will never get another vote from me, she already gets my tax dollars. And I might add, she will never have to pay a dime for gas because we, the taxpayers pay for it. No wonder she can afford to "save" us $30. this summer.

What a piece of work.

I knew it... It would allow her to decline the offer and give her supporters a reason to vote for Obama. BTW, it would be a leadership disaster to have those two trying to work together.

well maybe she could keep an eye on obama if she was, it seems the choices he makes are not very smart. But even with her on the ticket i still dont think i could vote obama and rather see her wait till 2012

Obama does not need Hillary Clinton to win the Presidency. I hope he stays away from the idea. Imagine the conflicting messages that would be sent out by her. Obama would have to answer for her and her shady husband constantly. I kind of hope he asks Richardson.

no way!!! it will screw up between clinton and obama for joint ticket!! and try to STEAL obama's "PRESIDENT" !!!

obama 08

eeeeeeeeeeeew
then i guess america will be held responsible when hillbilly tries to stage a coup.
that woman will do anything to be in the white house.
truth is the navy place is still too good for her.
she deserves to be in an old folks home in some redneck county.
CNN why?

Also, "blives" is not a word.

I actually have lost a lot of respect for both Clintons during this election. I was for her until she put McCain above Obama.

But we desperately need to get the Republicans out from behind the wheel of this train wreck!

And I believe Obama/Clinton would be a sure thing. So I'll hold my breath and vote for her and hope she doesn't bring old style politics into the new thing Obama is trying to do – WE NEED CHANGE before we lose everything.

Myself and my familly are Hillary supportors, we would love to see Obama and Hillary joind ticket for November against John McCain. That will be undefeat able team. If just Obama and no Hillary in the dream ticket, we will support Join McCain.

Doubt it. Clinton would have to eat a lot of words to make this happen. See what happens when you say anything to win.

Well, this is one Dem that does NOT think she should be VP. I don't mind being in the minority.

Hillary just doesn't 'get it'. Obama does, and we need a VP who also 'gets it' and who will support the president and his agenda 100%, not play power-politics behind his back.

She's a good woman. Let her stay in the senate and use her power there.

Well, this Democrat doesn't.

Let's see.... They started out as good friends, they agree on just about everything, but now they're at each other's throats. And now they want to kiss and make up.

Sounds like my family.

In fact, it sounds like ALL families! Maybe it could work. But we'll need to keep Bill in a cage.

She turned this process into a circus and I will not vote for her.

Obama/Clinton 08 = The Socialist States of America

Good job liberals....good job!

Let's let Barack choose.

Obama got 3-SD this morning!

Here we got with these so-call POLLS!

This is another game Hillary's staff is trying to spin!

No way Obama! Hillary was too nasty and I think Ted Kennedy said it best! She is not fit to be Obama's VP!

She ran a BAD campaign and she is OLD!

Let's move forward!

Not this Dem. I don't even think she should be in politics. We have rewarded her enough to the tune of 109 million dollars. She'll be fine.

No way! That would not work. He should offer that to someone else.

I prefer Wesley Clark. He's a smart man that would take some of the Liberal edge of Obama's image.

As a long time Republican, I voted for Obama because I want change from politics as usual. If the Clintons (Bill and Hillary) are added to the ticket, that is a step backward, and I would not vote for such a ticket.
If they are worried about Clinton supporters not voting for Obama, th party should worry about Obama supporters who will not vote for Clinton. A new face is needed for Vice President.

Just in Abama add 4 more Superdelegates to DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary woud be a bad choice for veep only because of Bill. He would complicate things in the White House. I don't recommend an Obama-Clinton ticket. Wes Clark would be great, Bill Richardson maybe. But not Hillary. That would be a train wreck. The GOP Swift Boat machine would get three for the price of one... Don't do it Sen. Obama!!

This is so NOT TRUE....good try, CNN.

I think a better VP candidate would be Sebelius from Kansas. With her, you get a very strong democrat who well liked in the midwest. I think she may be able to bring some of the Clinton supporters back. I think that Hillary Clinton doesn't bring enough to the ticket and has said too many damaging things about Obama.

ehhh.... NOT THIS DEM.

I'd much prefer Kathleen Sebelius, Jim Webb or John Edwards.

She would help the ticket, but can she take a back seat. Also in 2012 will she be running AGAINST Obama, or would she wait till 2016, when she's McCain's age?

Obama would have to hire a food taster!

At this point it's not easy to see how all of Hillary's supporters are going to react. It is almost safe to say Obama will not win without Clinton. We'll see!

I think that would be a terrible idea

HELL NO!!!! I am a staunch supporter of Barack and the democratic party but I might have to sit that one out. Besides Obama wouldn't last one month before she tries to off him and take over as president. I believe she is very capable of that. I put nothing past her.

I am a republican for Obama but I won't vote for Obama/Clinton.Too much baggage with Bill and Hillary tagging along.
