She should ask HIM to be HER VP…..

NEVER!!! WE DO NOT WANT HILLARY FOR VICE PRESIDENT, HE WOULD NEED A FOOD TASTER AND A BACK WATCHER. SHE IS PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1.

I wouldn't mind Hillary as VP. But then you get Bill with that package. The question will always be will they respect him as the president and not make backdoor comments.

IF SHE CAN'T MANAGE HER CAMPAIGN, HOW IS SHE GOING TO RUN THE COUNTRY. THE ONLY THING BIGGER THAN HER EGO IS HER PHONY SMILE.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! He should ask Gov Rendel to be his running mate and secure PA for November. With Hillary and Bill in the White House (even as #2) she and Bill will undermine Barack every day until he's too weak to run again in 2012…..and then VOILA, she'll step in to run!! Why invite a snake into the bedroom and then turn out the lights??

Let me spell it out for you people:

I.T. I.S. N.O.T. G.O.I.N.G. T.O. H.A.P.P.E.N.

Ok??

Mr. Rendell - what if Sen. Obama asks you to be VP? are you going to turn it down?

Clinton would not be a good choice for Obama and he should be able to choose his own VP. However it is nice to hear the Pennsylvania governor concede that Obama has won.

So Clinton is running for VP now?
interesting

He should NOT ask her to be his VP. She or McSame is NOT about change in Washington but rather BUSINESS AS USUAL. She does not possess the qualities we need–loyalty, honesty, need I say more…

Hillary supporter, she is not getting the nomination and she is not getting the VP post either. Deal with it. Vote McCain if you want. Obama should never ever put that woman in any office near him. if he does that, I will vote for McCain.

No, Coming from ED RENDELL, the last person we want as a VP, would be any type of RACE BAITER divider like RENDELL or CLINTON. STOP BIGOTRY NOW!

You have got ot be kidding me.

Why would Mr. President Obama ever want someone like Hillary to be his VP.

All she does it lie to the American people. She can't manage her campaign. Stayed with her cheating husband only for her own political gains. She has no morals.

Why would we ever want someone like Hillary anywhere near the White House? I know of NO one who would Ever vote for her !

for one Hillary is not change.

And for all of Hillary's uneducated voters who say they will not vote for Obama in the general election will only hurt them selves. Since most of his supporters are wealthy, educated, etc. will not be affected as some of the uneducated. It will be wise to come together in the general election. As much as we have become devided we cant win the election unless we come together. While I have much respect for Sen. Clinton, the race is over and its time to heal.

He wouldn't be able to accept because he already has the Presidential nominee position, but I am sure he would be very gracious and thank her for the offer.

the media is acting as if obama is the nominee already. the presumptive nominee lost EVERY county in the state of WV. how pathetic is that. this late in the game and he can't even win ONE county in a must win state for democrats. maybe rendell could be hillary's vice president. the superdelegates have to be blind if they can't see that obama can't get votes from the core of the democratic party.

If Clinton is on the ticket, I'll vote for McCain. There is no why I would EVER vote for her.

I don't think so. I think she'd only try to undermine what he's trying to do. Plus I thinks she has some legal issues that wont come up till after November regarding 2002 campaign money that might hurt them. I see how maybe she can help as far as him possibly getting elected, but I think she and Bill would not let him be who he is and bring about the change that's necessary. I also think she has said too many negative things for him to swallow. And then we'd have to believe that she now likes him and believes in him? I don't know if it's a good idea. I think he has to cleverly pick someone that will help him in the areas he's week in.

No He Should Not!!

I will not vote to put the Clintons back in the white house. After what they have demonstrated in this campaign, I do not want to feel responsible for what they do.

I never voted for Geoarge Bush. I won't vote for McCain but I also won't vote to put the Clintons back in the white house. I can't in good conscience to that.

I trust and believe in Senator Obama but Hillary needs to go back to the senateand start acting like the fighter she has presented herself to be in this campaign. I have watched the senate for years and there is nothing tthat she has done there that has ever been impressive or demonstrated leadership.

No Thanks Rendell! No Hillary for me!!!

Never happen. Why would Obama want to look over his shoulder for the next 8 years.

Hey CNN announce this! 2 more superdelegates for Obama this morning and the day is young! The endorsements keep rolling in for Obama and 0 for Clinton. I believe this makes 29 or 30 since last Tuesday for Senator Obama.

I do not want Hillary Cinton on any ticket!!!

hillary is way too polarizing to be his VP. she has done nothing but slander and throw mud up until she realized she has no hope. no she tones down her campaign to save face and score the VP gig.
no chance obama gives the job to her

Whatever!!! They would have him knocked off!!!

I agree. Hillary is the strongest candidate. She should not be VP, in my opinion she already held the #2 spot and is ready for #1.

WHY? Hillary has consistent with the vicious attacks and still continues to do so. If Senator O were to ask her, I hope she says NO!

Why should he have to make that choice. Every other candidate that has been in this position choose whom they wanted to be their running mate and I believe that he should have that choice as well and it should not be dicated to him.

I agree with you HILLARY SUPPORTER.

Please don't we do not want Hillary as the VP any woman anybody but her she is plain evil.

I can't believe I supported her husband twice and her in the begining lord forgive me for I have sinned.

Who would have ever though the clintons would divide the races for thier own selfish quest for power.

Hillary can not be trusted when she finally realizes she is not the nominee how own earth does she go to her supporters and ask them to vote for man she demeaned and crucify for the last year + it will all be fake

NO WAY!! Obama doesn't need the loser, the liar, the evil HRC!!! Rendell is going down with Clintons… Nobody can stop Barack anymore! He got 4 MORE SUPERS TODAY.. and this race will be over for HRC by next week… I am so happy to see her out of the politics FOREVER!!!

NO! She is untrustworthy and to be honest, I am not sure that he would survive his presidency. People around her have a way of conviently dying!

Hillary does not want to be VP and will not accept, but asking her would be the politically correct thing to do.

NO. I think he should ask one of her high-profile supports (perhaps Rendell himself, or Wes Clark), but it would be a slap in the face of his supporters after all this talk of a "new kind of politics." I think Hillary would make a great secretary of state, but not VP.

WHY WOULD SHE WANT OBAMA TO ASK HER TO BE V.P. WHEN WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT HER TO BE THE PRESIDENT…

THAT IS WHAT SUPER-DELEGATES ARE FOR, TO VOTE FOR THE MOST ELECTABLE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, AND THAT IS OBVIOUSLY H.R. CLINTON.

WHEN THEY DECIDE THAT CLINTON WILL BE THE THE LEADER OF THE PARTY, THEN SHE COULD ASK BARACK H. OBAMA TO BE HER V.P. AND HE CAN LEARN FROM A STRONG LEADER.

Absolutely not! Obama would be opening his White House door to all the Clinton scandals (past, present, & future). Remember, Hillary is already a defendant in an election fraud case in California that is on hold until after the election). There are a lot of Obama's supporters who would not vote for him if Hillary Clinton were his VP pick. She has extremely high negatives and represents exactly the type of politics that Obama is trying to change. There are other people out there that would be better suited to Obama who can benefit the ticket better than Hillary Clinton. Obama will win New York with or without Hillary Clinton.

Poor frozen minds!
You still live in the 1800s but to refresh your memories, we are in the 21st century. What you do here is no more a secret. People around the world see how lesson givers behave and to tell you, you are giving them solid rebuttals for their poor case.

rendell would be a better VP. he could get the uneducated white voters. he will be in his element

Hillary,
It's time to say goodbye……jsut hold hands with Bill and walk in the sunset. That's where u belong. if Hillary were to be Vice President she still would want to try and run the country. be graceful and walk into the sunset. u have lost already, why r u wasting people's time. I'm sure people from Kentucky have better things to do than going to the polls for a vote that won't count anyway…she has lost already, why put more people through this, why make people take time off of work and lose money so they can vote for nothing? HILLARY SUPPORTERS STOP HILLARY NOW! THE VOTES DON'T COUNT ANYWAY!!

No-one with any political knowledge would suggest Rendel for VP. As for Clinton for VP, that's just silly. Clinton for NY Senate.

Sorry Ed…no way in Hell will that work…that woman cannot be trusted…he needs someone that's totally committed. She will just take the position for a run in 2012.

Is this article for real??? Obama will never put her on the ticket…Let's not get carried away with the fact that she won W.Virginia…These are the numbnuts that voted Bush in - twice. 1 in 5 actually admitted at exit polls that race was an issue for them…Since she played the race card really well it's no surprise that these brainiacs gave her a landslide..However, this particular landslide does not equate to her being eligible to share the ticket. Stop talking nonsense!

people have spoken, we don't want another Clinton to shame our nation.

WHy should she team up with him. He is an anchor.

No he shouldn't ask her anything except how her exit strategy plans are coming along!

OBAMA-08!

Never ever going to vote Obama no matter who is VP!
The DNC has shot it's self in the foot AGAIN.
John McCain the next US president.

Idiot.

And for those saying Hillary should ask him… Hillary is still LOSING!
What kind of insane person cannot see that she will not get the delegates?

No way! As per Hillary - he can't win!

Go Obama! Hillary is not fit to step back in the white house!

Watch how the superdegales roll out today for Obama!

I would not sully myself, if I was Hillary, by having anything to do with this butt. He can dance, we saw that. He can give speeches someone else writes for him, he can chant, he can wave….BUT WHAT DOES HE HAVE GOING FOR HIM TO BE PRESIDENT. Not one darn thing. He was made into a rock star, the zonked out youth thought they were voting for an American Idol, the good old boys couldn't get enough of butt kissing because they hate women. And we all know the blacks are voting for him because of his color. And not one darn person is voting for him because he knows what the heck he is doing. HE ALONE HAS RUINED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY…something the republicans have been trying to do for years. How much did they pay him.

As an Obama supporter I wouldn't want her to be VP.

Hopefully he picks the Gov of Kansas.

Hillary has destroyed her family name.

I was actually going to vote for her, until she showed her true colors.

It doesn't matter to me anymore. Obama will be the nominee and at least 10 million Clinton supporters will vote for McCain, including myself. Sorry angry black people who post on this board.

Although the majority of Democrats are approving a dream ticket of Obama/Clinton, I agree with Ted Kennedy. Obama needs someone with the characteristics he exhibits. Hillary is smart but her negativity would take away the essence of "change", and it will be politics as usual. By the way, Huffington Post has reported that despite Hillary's sizable victory in West Virginia, Obama has picked up 4 more superdelegates today. Hopefully, very soon Obama will be able to select a VP with the same characteristics and qualities that he demonstrates.

Never!

After this primary, what a laugh! Such hatred, then kumbyah? Please do, it will definitely show how out of touch dems/liberals are. Not to mention the thought of Hillary and the tyrant Michelle Obama in the same room.

the only reason Hillary stays in the race is she hopes Obama has a Howard Dean moment (or a Gary Hart moment) and he has to pull out of the race.

It's the only way she can win the nomination at this point.

It was already rumored that Obama may be the VP if Clinton were to be elected. He came out publicly stating that he would not be her running mate he clearly said he was running for presidency.

OBAMA 2008

I agree that it should be the other way around.

Clinton with Obama on the ticket.

The experienced mastermind on top…with the young in line to gain experience for the future.

Obama can be Hillary's VP, we need a President with experience not some frat boy who thinks he's black is good enough to be President.

I'm black, I don't support Obama, he lacks experience to lead this country.

If Obama has Hilary as his running mate she becomes more problems then benefits. Number one the whole idea of a new brand of polictics will be wiped out and secondly he will have to content with Bill in the White House as well. Plus there are things in Hilary's closet that Barack has not used to his advantage cause he has tried to run a clean campaign but there is no way on earth that the republicans will not attack the two of them. Peter vs Clinton could destroy any chances of a democratic in the white house if she is on the ticket.

And she should say thank you but no thanks because she should not go down in flames with obama in 08. This will better set her to take the nomination in 2012 as who would support obama for another landslide loss?

If Hillary and Bill get back in the white house WITH Barack Hussein, then he better keep a close eye on Michelle……better hire a food taster as well.

oh, ok hillary supporter second place who wants to change rules should ask first place to be vice president, yeh right, lets see if hillary will get to white house without obama supporters

Adding Hillary to the ticket would only work if Obama can convince his followers that Hillary will not be the one making policy decisions. He has to keep his distance from the politics of old or there will be a backlash.

He would also have to watch his back if Clinton is the VP. Her insatiable lust for power would be a concern if she is only one heartbeat from the presidency. Everyone remember what happened to JFK? I hope that I'm wrong, but Hillary's character during the campaign indicates that she would throw her whole party under the bus if it means she could be prez.

He should not ask her to be on his ticket. His support would dry up like a lake in the desert. this argument about electability is silly. in November, the numbers will change in his favor. anyone with brains knows that he's running againts the two most powerful names in politics curing this primary. this is a far cry from the flip flopping guy he will face in November. stop with the spin and get with the future. its over for the Clintons.

HUH? WHA? Is this MAJOR supporter acknowledging defeat?

Get over it Rendell. This is not the 1990's when you benefited from the Clintons during your tenure in Philadelphia as Mayor.

Let the new breed take over. These are different times.

Obama 08.

NO I THINK THE DAMAGE IS DONE…. SHE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE VP…. OR ANYWHERE NEAR THE WHITEHOUSE, SHE IS IN DEBT AND CANNOT ADMIT DEFEAT WE ALREADY HAVE PEOPLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH THAT IDEAOLOGY………..

A COUPLE OF GOOD CHOICES…

1. COLIN POWELL
2. J EDWARDS
3. BILL RICHARDS
4. ANYONE BUT HILIARY CLINTON…………………..

85% OF WHITE PEOPLE STATED THAT RACE WAS THE MAIN REASON THEY VOTED FOR HC….. SO YOU MEAN EVEN IF SHE CANNOT WIN, HAS THREATENED ANOTHER COUNTRY, INSULTED RUSSIA'S PRESIDENT AND IS IN DEBT… 20$ MIL… THEY VOTE FOR HER JUST BECAUSE SHE IS WHITE… THE QUESTION ISN'T HOW CAN BARACK WIN THESE VOTERS THE QUESTION IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE VOTERS….. THE REAL AMERICANS IT SEEMS; HOW CAN THAT BE, THEY ARE FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD "RACIST"…… SO HOW ARE THEY THE HARDWORKING TRUE AMERICANS???? WHEN THEY ARE WORKING FOR ONE CAUSE THE WHITE RACE?????

POST THIS CNN………………

NO WAY!!…NO HILLARY and NO CLINTON

OBAMA / HAGEL
OBAMA / Strickland
OBAMA / Rendell

No Way!!!!!!

Gov Rendell has disgraced himself throughout this campaign.

It is interesting to note that although he 'delivered' Pennsylvania for Sen Clinton, she lost to Obama in Gov Rendell's territories: Philadelphia and Dauphin Count - where the state capital is.

Gov Rendell espouses the failed politics of the past, and has lost a great deal of credibility in Pa politics by pandering for Sen Clinton.

Again….it is going to take some major wound healing for Hillary to even be in politics after the rift she has created. I personally would like to see her sent packing for good. I would be very disappointed if Obama stooped to her level and allowed that.

I think that all the talking heads (and yes, all the bloggers) should quit trying to make decisions for the candidates. Only the candidates themselves should make these decisions:

1. Let Hillary decide how long she wishes to run. She is entitled to run as long as she wants to, without pressure from 'outside' interferers.

2. Let Obama decide who his running mate will be. He is entitled to make his own choice, without pressure from 'outside' interferers.

Its very clear to me and most political pundits who dare not say it. "Hillary's end game is to disrupt Obama's chance to win in 2008 and she run again in 2012″.

If that happens, I will not vote for that ticket! Sorry Obama, but HRC is disgusting. Jim Webb for VP! We don't need a Washington insider on the ticket.

She should have thought of that before the things she said during that horrible last debate where she pressed on those waste of time non-issues to make him look bad, while he stayed the high ground and didn't even take a swipe at her snyper remark.

That interview spoke volume's about their characters and put a big rift between the 2 thanks to her.

I'm convienced that Hillary supporters are delusional.

It's time to unite behind one canidate and Hillary will not be that canidate.

Democrat's 08

Ha Ha

That is hilarious

She messes up the whole platform of Change with her old, hateful ways

I agree, After last night and the polls in WV, the only way to unite the party is to have her on the ticket.

Its funny that Obama supporters are calling for US, Hillary supporters to unite and not destroy the party and vote for McCain or stay home, But when talk of Having Hillary as VP you guys go crazy and say NO and you will never vote for that combo? WOW, who is dividing the party again?

Wonderful idea! As a team they would be absolutely unbeatable in November and eventually they will get along together very well.

You knew it was only a matter of time until somebody started using the phrase "stay the course" with regards to HRC's campaign. Very ominous overtones. I can't image they're big fans of that wording at Hillary Central.

A year ago, Clinton/Obama was my dream ticket. Now, sad to say, I don't want Hillary anywhere near the White House. Sorry, girl. You turned me away when I was firmly on your side.

like Rendell, but I do not like Clinton. She is negative and mean. I for one can see through her manipulations and spin. Anybody who tries to change the rules for personal gain everytime they are losing should not be allowed back in the White House. The Clintons had their 8 years. It's time for someone new.

No way in hell, Then Clinton's will undermine everything he do or say.

Shut up Ed. You're a bought-and-paid for lacky for the Clinton family. Shut up and try to actually DO SOMETHING for our state!!!!!

As much as I want to disagree, I can't.

After witnessing the way both Bill and Hillary attacked Obama like a pit bull attacking a rib-eye, part of me says to burn both of them at the stake.

But the other part of me says that, since Obama survived all those attacks, he's actually a stronger candidate. They tried to tear him apart, and all they did was pull the rug out from under themselves! While they were throwing the kitchen sink at him, their superdelegates started dripping away like a leaky faucet.

The only thing they have left is the VP slot. If Obama chooses Hillary, he will need to lay out some ground rules first. We can only imagine what those rules would be, but we can go over those later.

Since he lacks experience, he needs a VP that has experience. Since he has trouble with white and hispanic voters, he needs someone who can attract them in large numbers.

If he holds his nose (and his testicular fortitude, for that matter) and chooses Hillary, I guarantee you they will win by a landslide, and Obama and Hillary will become BFF's. And Bill won't have to sleep on the couch for another four years!

Why, so she can get someone to kill him and make it look like in accident. I know this sounds harsh, but its what a lot of people have in the back of their minds. Sorry for the blunt statement…..
I just don't trust the Clintons anymore.

Why would Obama ask a traitor to join his camp? As he has tried to show respect to Mrs. Clinton, even during the most heated times, she has done everything she can to try to diminish him as a Democrat, a party leader and as a person. The two Clintons together went to West Virginia and unashamedly stirred up the virulent racist thoughts of those mountaineers, which doesn't take much. Yet, nearly 100,000 of them rejected the nonsense being spewed by this win at any cost pair. Its too bad the brave 100,000 was in the minority. Its a greater shame that the majority let hate rule the day.

I say to Senator Obama, never dance with the devil, you will surely be burned. Stay as far away from the Clinton pair as you can.

Dont trust her! She would probably try to form a committee to take him out so she can be President. Dont trust her or her hubby.

Hey if I was Barack Obama I would not ask her to be my VP! Sorry Hillary Supporter ! How can anybody trust her even with money? I know that us Dem's would like this so called dream ticket but let's face reality! I hope The Dem winner (BARACK OBAMA) pick a VP that will stand for all races instead of dividing us!

All the way and YES WE CAN in 2008!

Why would Senator Clinton want to be on a ticket with a candidate that
she spent her entire campaign trying to convince voters that he was
unelectable, black, inexperienced, unfit, unable to attract white
voters(her biggest lie yet), etc.? This reminds me of one child trying
to trick another child out of his candy.

Obama 08.

I would not want Hillary to be Baracks VP, that would be a very bad decision and does not sit well with the majority of Obama supporter's. I prefer Edwards

Obama/Edwards 08 & 12

The math is not there for Hillary Clinton, and everyone knows he is not going to ask Hillary to be the VP she is more of the same!!! However what you and others should do to bring our party back together and unite is to ask Hillary to get out!!!! She cant get there we all know it

He should be asked to be her VP - she is the strongest Democratic candidate!

If he asks her to be VP, she should clearly and firmly say NO WAY!

I am a strong Hillary supporter but I will not vote for Obama even if she is the VP candidate. He will not help her but only drag her down further. There are no positives in this so-called dream ticket, only double negatives.

Ed Rendell can go eat a taco….

This guy has wanted Clinton as Presidend and has no plans whatsoever to help campaign for Obama. Him and that whutless Philly Mayor Nutter. Besides, if it was reversed there is no WAY he'd be wanting Obama on their ticket.

The guy is a FRAUD just like his hokey candidate. Anything to stay in power.

Well I got bad news for ya tubby - Obama has learned what kind of people campaign for her (including that mosquito Lanny Davis) and he's going to exorcise all his demons by choosing another candidate for VP. The reign of Clinton Terror is OVA!

The best of both worlds! The dream team is back! Wake up people, these candidates are our best chance at winning the white house back! They must run together or the republicans will eat them alive. Just wait until the fall. Its gonna get ugly!

It's not going to happen. Let's just give up on the idea of the dream ticket, and let the nominee pick his own running mate. Polls show that Obama will beat McCain, so why don't we let HIM decide who he wants as his VP.

Who am I not to agree with my Governor. I will accept Obama at the top of the ticket only if the Clinton name is right below it. She is winning the swing states and the states that a Democrat needs to win in order to be President. The democratic party can not loose this election and I have fears of Obama loosing Ohio, PA, and WV. These states support Hillary! I would definately prefer her name at the top of the ticket. Remember: WE NEED TO WIN IN NOVEMBER:
"WHAT IS POPULAR IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, WHAT IS RIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS POPULAR"

CLINTON '08

Why would he want someone to carry the "Clinton banner"?
The "royal family" has proven time and again their brand of politics needs to become part of the history books.
It is time for democrats to unite and take the party and country in a new direction in today's world.

"The old road is rapidly aging,
please get out of the new one, if you can't lend a hand,
for the times they are a changing."

Obama/Sibelius or Obama/Hagel 08

Phil T.

obviously the VOTERS do not think she is otherwise she would be winning.

And tell me, just WHY should he ask her to be VP??? She is the same old politics, and she claims to be the "better candidate". How come she cant wait 4 yrs and run again?

The humble Governor defers to his superior, Bill Clinton. As much as I disagree with Rendell supporting Hillary Clinton, I do think he is the best politician in the country! He is smart and always puts the people of PA first. He can break down the complicated proceedings of goverment as well as he can break down eagles games. He would make an AWESOME VP!

Last night win was Big win
Past week all the mainstream media keep on saying Obama is the nominee
Even though she won West Virginia by 41%
She won all the counties in West Virginia
What is that mean race is not over
Pundit please stop whining (Specially Tim Russert )
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

I don't see a joint ticket happening. The media has dubbed this scenario the "dream ticket". I think its more like "Nightmare on Elm Street". Regarding the comments and opinions that have gone back and forth during this campain, how do you justify working together and expecting everyone to just forget about what you said earlier. The question then becomes "were you lying to us before or are you lying to us now?". I guess we all know he is predisposed to fibbing, though.

This whole debate about hillary being the VP is just plain stupid!
and i really hope that Sen.Obama wont be intimidated by these knuckleheads that are trowing the idea.Mr Obama's message throughout his campaign has been based on CHANGE and not being just another politician from washington!! and thats why his movement has been so strong,and thats why he has my vote and money!! and I'm sure there are thousands of people like me that will be greatly disappointed if Hillary is on the ticket!

You're funny, LOL

Hey Hillary supporter that is funny the person who lost by the rules ask the person who beat them to please let them be there VP. You just stupid as you candidate

How about The Governor of Arizona, Janet Napolitano (D) as VP!!!

America can still have the first Woman VP, while pulling the "Clinton base" to support the ticket? (plus she has backed Obama, and I think it best to have someone who actually believes in your ability, we all know Hillary will be sour, and salty, from her hard fought campaign, and the best thing for the party is to no insulter herby bringing up her loss during the GE.

Rendell should shut up. Clinton would be a terrible mistake, just like the one Rendell made by backing her. Obama would have to have a food tester, a car starter and sleep with BOTH eyes open. He would have to deal with Bill. She would attempt to undermind every thing he tried to do. After Obama gets the nomination, he should rid himself of the Clintons and do the country a great justice.

That's the only reason she is still in the race - she wants to strong-arm her way into the VP position. Her strategy at this point is clear. She wants one of two things: to be VP, or for Obama to lose so she can run again in 2012 on an "I told you so" platform. She will take either one of these, and this is how she will get it……

You will see more and more of her surrogates pushing the "dream ticket" idea with her as VP, and I wouldn't be surprised if she comes out herself and asks for it at some point (which would be in bad taste, but this is Hillary). This will create overwhelming pressure for Obama, leaving him no choice but to comply, or Hillary will make sure that her supporters feel disenfranchised and cheated by all the "mean boys in Washington". That could (maybe) cause Obama the election, leaving her in prime position to run again in 2012.

So she either guarantees herself the VP slot, or gives herself a real chance to run again in 4 years. It's an underhanded tactic, for sure. But Hillary wants power, and she will do whatever it takes to get it.

HILLARY SUPPORTER:

She has to win the nomination first.

Which boils down to begging, pleading, cajoling and brown-nosing over 200 superdelegates, groveling and grabbing their ankles while they walk away toward Barack Obama.

Why there are penty of qualified people Obama can choose from. Why does it have to be Hillary Clinton and after all of the damage she has and continues to do to him and the party

No. Both cannot work together in the same office. Clintons cannot respect Obama as President. Rendell suggestion is more of political calculation. It will harm the country.

Absolutely Not. She doesn’t deserve to be Vice President. Her selfish quest for power as a self-pitying victim and/or self-righteous fighter has damaged the Party. Besides, she already spent 8 years elbowing Al Gore out of the office as V.P from 1993-2001. She would not be here today if not for the former advisors and friends of President Bill Clinton. Former Bill Clinton advisors and friends who have re-emerged from hiding after turning tail and running scared for 8 years from Newt Gingrich, Ken Starr and Co. She would not be here if she hadn't married (or stayed married to) Bill Clinton to begin with. What has she truly ever achieved on her own? Besides proudly voting for a war that has sacrificed the lives of over 4000 young American men and WOMEN.

Why is everyone pushing Clinton down Obama's throat? Why can't he choose his own VP? I understand we all love our candidates, but they get to choose who they want. I'm tired of this dream ticket idea, its terrible! A lot of Obama supporters would lose some respect for him, as he is the candidate for changing this country and Clinton is clearly not. Its a BAD idea. If someone called me incompetent, unexperienced and out of touch, I sure wouldn't want to be forced to work with that person (plus her husband) for the next 4 to possibly 8 years. Obama is not a panderer and he doesn't need Clinton to win.

Rendell is right, If Obama wins the nomination, Clinton should be the VP, and vice versa. It's the only way to go.

No No No…Hillary supporters! Hillary is not the front runner. Obama is within 146 delegates of cinching the Democratic nomination. Obama doesn't need Hillary, he needs Bill Clinton stumping for him in white rural America.

Obama and Hillary can't be on the same ticket. It may look nice on paper but in reality it is not. Obama has run a fantastic campaign based on the campaign themes of hope and change. Hillary has run a strong campaign on the themes of experience and leadership. Hillary has said some pretty troubling things about Obama during this long primary season in which the Republicans will bring back up. Could you imagine Hillary trying to honestly defend Obama from her statements on Rev. Wright or about her and McCain bringing a lifetime of experience and Obama bringing a speech? Or could you imagine Obama having to defend negative things from the Bill Clinton presidential years, or his accusations that Hillary is dishonesty or gaffes made by Hillary and Bill Clinton during the long campaign season?

Many of the pro-Hillary surrogates like Rendell are trying to publicly force Hillary onto the Obama ticket as VP. Many women voters want to simply vote for a woman to be president.

I would rather see Rendell on the ticket as opposed to Hillary. Ted Strickland on the ticket? Ahhh no.

Time to get over it. It was her biggest supporter, Mcgovern, that first called for her to quit last week. And another, Rendel, recognizes this this is over. Stop being crying, sore sport losers. She lost fair and square. Double speak and rule changing will not give her the nomination with out destroying the party and thus losing in November. It is time to grow up and get over it. And Obama should pick who ever gives him the best chance of winning in November. If that is Clinton, fine. And to those that want Edwards, NO WAY! That guy can't carry the bags for Clinton or Obama. Nice guy, but he did nothing for Kerry and can't even carry his home state.

obama needs a strong white man on his ticket, not the Clintons who would try to overtake his position and they have too many scandals including being impeached, heck no!!!! He should pick Hegal before the say anything do anything Clintons, a lot of people have lost respect for the clintons who tried to use race baiting to destroy Obama. Obama never mentioned impeachment, whitewater, felony pardons except the weather underground pardons when Clinton tried to make obama and ayers seem like best buddies, or any the other conspiracy theories surrounding the Clintons….not a good voice if he wants to remain in charge.

HILLARY SUPPORTER

You must be demented.

I see you are still deluted "Hillary Supporter " (above). Her supporters seem to think that because they "feel strongly" that she would be the best president, the DNC should just throw out the elected delegates from all these primaries/caucuses and just let Hillary have it. The nomination isn't based on strong feelings but on delegate MATH. 2+2 will always equal 4, no matter how strongly you may feel about it. In recent days, there has been all this talk about Hillary carrying "white blue collar voters". And this is why the DNC should take the nomination away from Obama (who has rightly won it) and give it to her.

The DNC is smart enough to know that if they take the nomination away from a black man who won it fair and square and "give" it to a white woman who lost it fair and square just to appease upset white folks, they will lose a qaurter of their African American base, will lose this election in November up and down the ballot, and will never recover this loyal voting bloc. This will ensure that the GOP will win every single presidential election for generations to come.

If black people have not forgotten or gotten over the injustices of slavery over two hundred years ago, what makes you think they will just up and forgive having a black presidential candidate who played by the rules set up by a white organization (DNC) robbed of his chance to become president, all in a mere six months? You must be joking. If Hillary steals this nomination, you can kiss the Democratic party goodbye. Latinos will see for themselves how the most loyal voting bloc was robbed of their chance, and they will question what kind of treatment they will receive in supporting such a racist party.

Oh, the Dems are all for diversity and the big tent, as long as the interests and preferences of white folks aren't threatened.

Obama 08

Absolutely not. Obama's platform has been about changing the way the political game is played in Washington. Selecting Hillary would go against his core message. More than half of all American's find her untrustworthy, and Bill Clinton has NOT been vetted since leaving the White House. The GOP would love it if he selected Hillary because then they could attack Obama, Hillary and Bill's questionable business dealings. Not to mention the fact that the Paul v. Clinton trial, in which Clinton is being sued $17 million for fraud, begins in November.

I do not agree with Mr.Rendell's logic. Having waged a bitter fight so far, I am not sure how Obama-Clinton would perform as running mates. More over, Clintons that once derided Obama by maing a hue and cry about Obama;s lack of experience and his inability to attract blue-collar & white voters. I would prefer Mr.Edwards to Clinton as Obama-Edwards chemistry works well. It would be fun to watch Clintons campaigning for Obama this fall!

Gotta love Rendell

He's a good guy

Sure - let's divide the party even more. I think it's safe to say that a lot of Obama's supporters do not want to see Bill Clinton back in the white house.
His wife is running off her husband's experience, not her own. I would rethink who I am voting for if she is put on the ticket with Obama. There are other just as qualified women that could be his running mate without all the Clinton baggage that could make Obama's ticket work and satisfy everyone. For example - Kathleen Sebelius.
Get a clue people, you are not going to get back the good old days of the 90s with Clinton. That was before 9/11 and it's never going to be the same. It's time to move forward and make the changes needed to exist today.
It's time for Obama to be President.
Pull together Democrats or it will be 4 more years of Bush politics.

No She has played the race card against him too many times Barack I have been reading every report on line for the las 6 months of this election and if he pick her after crash and burn campaign she has been ruinning i will sit home that day.

I am a Democrat but no vote for Obama if he is the nominee even with Hillary on the ticket as VP. He just is not ready foor presidency at this time.

No, Obama can not offer his hope of CHANGE with somebody who uses the politics of old.

The only reason Hillary still has breath is because the media stopped vetting her after her Iowa lost. She's old news. Except, the Republicans have recently just dugged up new details and facts about Billary's past scandals!

Billary only cares about their legacy … and … how they will make another 109 million!

Don't be fooled folks. That 20 Million is coming from somewhere OR somebody! There are a lot of folks with MONEY and POWER who want BILLARY back in the White House.

For starters, just think China and Columbia.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hours after being routed by Hillary Rodham Clinton in West Virginia, Barack Obama picked up two more superdelegates, offering fresh recognition from Democratic leaders of his inevitable nomination

Hillary is a Liar she should have Bush's Vice President.

As Obama has stated, Clinton would be on anyone's short list for VP. While I am a Clinton supporter, I don't agree that this would be a dream ticket for the party. What is important is that we all unite behind the eventual Democratic nominee and it appears that it will be Obama. We cannot allow Republicans to drive a wedge between our party. We have to unite in order to defeat McCain in November.

Not Rendell, and definitely not Hillary.

Obama does not need a knife in his back for the next 8 years.

i think these people need to let obama pick whom he wants as vp bill clinton was never forced to pick anybody even john kerry so why obama why do they want to force him to pick hillary when john kerry picked john edwards they had run a good democratic primary respecting each other, but hillary was really using the republican politics against obama and really using rove politics on your democratic opponent and after that you turn around and say you want to be on the tickect i dont think so and i dont think its fair let obama choose for himself he compained so hard for himself remember the clintons have been in politics for decades and the whole family was compaigning so hard husband daughter rendell i mean everybody and obama was just himself at list let him be why everything has to go the way the clintons want obama is wining just compaining by himself

Yeah the loser always asks the winner to get behind them. It's over, let it go. Clinton ran very close but in the end Obama won by a nose, that's just the way it is.

TO: SILLIE HILLE SUPPORTERS

THAT IS SILLY THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE PRIMARY STATES SAYS BARACK IS THE NOMINEE (CHECK THE PRIMARY RESULTS) BY VIRTUAL OF POPULAR VOTE, GET OUT OF DENIAL ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ALREADY AND PLEASE WE ALL ARE SICK OF THE NUMBER SPINS BY THE SILLIE HILLIE CAMPAIGN MEMBERS, IT WAS SAD TO SEE LAST NIGHT ON CNN EVERYTIME SOMETHING DON'T GO YOU ALLS WAY , YOU ALL FIND A WAY TO SPIN THNIGS TO PUT DOUBT IN OBAMAS CAMPAIGN. I NEVER SEEN SO MUCH DESPERATION IN MY LIFE.

MY ADVICE IF YOU WANT UNITY, YOU MAKE IT, YOU DON'T FORCE IT, AND DON'T BURN YOUR BRIDGES IN THE PROCESS, AND THEN GOT THE NERVE TO HOPE BARACK WILL HELP PAY FOR HER CAMPAIGN DEBT, THAT MAY BE THE MAIN REASON WHY SHE WANTS ON THE TICKET, FOR THAT REASON AND THAT REASON ALONE. TELL ME THIS IS JUST A FAIRYTALE, LOL

after all the things she's said about him, he owes her NOTHING.
i also find it interesting that she cannot even manage her own campaign finances and people trust her with the country's budget.
obama isn't perfect, no one is, but at least he isn't a blatant liar out for his own political gain
OBAMA 08

I think not.

I do not agree with Mr.Rendell's logic. Having waged a bitter fight so far, I am not sure how Obama-Clinton would perform as running mates. More over, Clintons derided Obama by making a hue and cry about Obama for the lack of experience and his inability to attract blue-collar & white voters. I would prefer Mr.Edwards to Clinton as Obama-Edwards chemistry works well. It would be fun to watch Clintons campaigning for Obama this fall!

He must be crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every presidential candidate had the opportunity to select their own VP which should Clinton supporters try to force Obama to pick her. Thats ludicrous!!!!!!!!!!!

Rendell is a coward,he knows that Hillary would sabotage the ticket.Why would you tell someone to back a candidate when you know for a fact that they do not believe in the candidate.This is a ploy to make Obama look like a hypocrite.Hillary does not compliment Obama,they are trying to make him look weak by forcing a flawed candidate on him.

Never
We want real change.

No way. Hillary should ask him to be her VP.

Why would anyone want to align him/herself with NObama? I could not imagine anything worse!

oh, and isn't it ironic that now all of a sudden the small states matter to her

The only way Obama can win is having us "Bitter" people vote for you because Hillary is the VP. That would be a great ticket, unstopable!

No Obama is winning the nomination and it is his decision who should be on the ticket with him. Hillary Clinton has the biggest negatives of any democrat - why would anyone want that on their ticket. Why would anyone want to have to deal with Bill. Republicans will band together to beat her.

Wake up America - it is time to retire the Clinton and Bush family. It is time for America to move beyond this race and gender fight. It is time for change, time for new blood in Washington.

2 reasons that will never happen:

She ran on his inexperience and unelectability, and as his VP she would have to directly contradict every campaign remark she's made since February.

He ran on new politics and change, and the Clinton rolodex (not to mention the name alone) is the epitome of old Washington, old politics and lobbyist money. Think about the field day McCain would have on Obama if he's talking about change with Hillary standing behind him.

um…or not

Clinton's do not do well in the backseat. Her choice to continue to run shows that she is not concerned for the party nearly as much as for herself.

She could get 85% in every state left and split supers with Obama (which are heading his way) and he would still get the nomination…if a lay person like myself can figure this out in the counter, how can her campaign not know this??????

he might pick her,but she needs to concede,first.

Wow… another Hillary supporter telling Obama what to do with his campaign.

What a completely new turn of events!

that's a sure win… I will not vote on a ticket without HRC on it. I am tired of loosers and Obama can not carry this one with out her.

She proven time and time again she can do this and I rather have her on my side.

Hillary is quoted in November 2007 as saying "of course we all know that Michigan will not count." What is she saying now?

I feel it is so premature to suggest Sen. Clinton as a potential running mate for Sen. Obama, nor anyone else, for that matter. It appears that people have forgotten that this country is currently in a race for nominees of the respective parties. Focus, people. The Democratic Party's potential nominees are in a very tight race. Continuing the suggestion of an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket at this stage is not appropriate. It is newsworthy to watch the ongoing process, however, I do not feel that ideas should be planted that could cause Sen. Clinton supporters to "throw in the towel" in terms of getting her the necessary votes to be the nominee. Remember, on the days the primaries are held, projections cannot be made until there is a greater percentage of votes reported (sorry, I don't know the percentage or time factors), thus it would follow that these kinds of ticket projections should not be made either. Let the process continue, let the voters vote their consciences and desires without the influence of the press purporting to know who the nominee will be.

Will this suggestion never go away?? NO ONE wants Clinton as the VP…not even Clinton wants to be VP.

So can we just let it go, because no one is SERIOUSLY considering this as an option? Do these people have no sense? You cannot make the remarks that Hillary has made and then consider yourself a viable option for the VP. This is insane.

She does not deserve to be his VP. She has been disrespectful in the face of victory. Why would he want her gangster ways in his pure White House? She has Emasuclated Bill C and how she is out for Obama.

Oh my god no way! Hillary is way too powerful and she should not take the backseat to a man who is so inexperienced. Everything she accomplished, Barack will take the credit. No way! I would be so unhappy if she accepted VP position, its humiliating!

To HILLARY SUPPORTER, why She should ask HIM to be HER VP when she is trailling behing in all counts? I know they say she has the uneducated votes, but what about common sense?

Hopefully, Hillary will not accept a VP spot if offered. For her it would be like having someone much less qualified promoted ahead of you at work and then being asked to teach them the ropes. To quote that old phrase: "Just say no."

Now they want the VP postiion NO NO NO NO we Don't want you Hillary we Want Obama/Richards, Obama/Sebelious, Obama/Mccaskall, Obama/ anybody except Hillary.

NO I DON' T THINK HILLARY DESERVE TO BE ON THE TICKET. SHE BEEN SHAMEFUL SHOWING HER TRUE COLORS AND BEING A BIG SORE LOSER. I DON'T THINK OBAMA HAS TO PICK HER TO WIN.IT WILL BE A BIG MISTAKE SHE CAN'T BE TRUSTED. SHE WILL THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS. DON'T DO IT OBAMA.!

If Hillary Clinton isn't on the Democratic ticket, then I'm voting for McCain.

I cannot believe that the Democrats would be so STUPID to nominate such an inexperienced, under qualified person like Obama.

Hillary and Howard Wolfsan are both quoted in January, February, and March as saying the magic number of delegates is 2025. What are they saying now?

i know clinton is using u guys to ask for a vp slot and indirectly behaving as if shes not interested.

Finally reason will come to the forefront.

Yes it has been a long battle and as an Obama supportor we have to recoginse what Senator Clinton brought to this campagin, She has made Obama a better candidate as she has learnt a lot too.

I hear she does not fit into Obama message of change… goood, what about Obama message of bringing people together. We should be very careful uniting this party. Change does not not mean only new, it also means a foregiveness,working together, reaching out and the DNC will also be happy for it.

Barack/Hillary08

experience is nothing. no one is exp. for the mess bush has left. you tackle it as you go and barack is smart enought to do just that.
and why would he want her as vp. he is about change not the same old same old. and why would rendell want her to take a spot he may very well have offered to him. does he think he can't handle it?

cnn please post this

I don't think Obama should ask Clinton or Rendell! Neither of them support him or his ideology. I find it highly implausible that Hillary would "absolutely support Senator Obama enthusiastically." More likely she would try to undermine every single move he makes.

I think she should be President of West Virginia instead.

O yea, cause that makes sense. Listen, I understand everyone has a preference, but lets be real here people. Obama is going to win. Lets stop with the bull and focus on uniting the party and beating McCain and the GOP in November!

Who cares what Rendell says and Clinton should tell him to get lost because he is bad baggage.

En West Virginia igual como Kentucky, hay milliones de almas, y solamente unas dos docenas de apellidos. Se noto claramente quienes son esas personas de ambos estados cuando votan como votaron! Viva America!

Gary E, de Roma TX

Obama should get the nomination and he SHOULD NOT put Hillary on the ticket. She will ruin this country and him. She cannot be trusted!!! How can people not see that? If she gets in the white House in any way she won't be for the people , she'll be for herself. I see her more as a dictator than a president. I'm a senior and I've voted Rep all my life, but I'm not a McCain fan , but I will also not vote for any ticket that includes a Clinton. She scares the hell out of me.

You don't put the snake in the bed with you! Obama wants real change and Hillary does not and cannot offer the change the US need.

OBAMA 2008!!

According to her, Clinton's strength seems to be her "whiteness". I say that strength is a dime a dozen and Obama can virtually close his eyes, grab the next person (Michelle and Pastor Wright excluded ofcourse) and we have that problem resolved. Anyone but Clinton.

Obama 08

Obama is about change and is a NEW hope for this time. While Clinton has what it takes to be a great vice president (let alone a great president, period) I do not feel that choosing her would be in-keeping with his current ideals for the direction of this country.

lol, Hillary supporter. Denial is part of the mourning process so take your time. It’s over

Nope not gonna happen

Right, ask Obama to be VP when she's not the front runner. Let alone she doesn't have the money needed to stay out of debt.

Anyways, I really don't think having the Clintons and the Obamas under one roof would work. It would if it was a sitcom or a reality show. I know that would be more entertaining. But still, I think that having a Clinton supporter as the VP would be better suited than having her in there.

A house divided against itself shall not stand. And it seems that the Democratic household is showing that right now.

Ed Rendell would throw his buddy Sen. Clinton under the bus in a Philly heartbeat if he was offered the VP spot. He's personal and political friends with the Clintons, so he's certainly lobbying for at least a spot in the next administration. His tenure as governor is almost over and he's going to need something to do. I'm from PA and like Rendell, but that is the truth.

I think that would do more harm than good. I just think that Senator Clinton should take that same fire and back Senator Obama in the General Election.

Obama 08/12

Hillary, I am one white hard-working American who will not vote for you because of your negative baggage and scandals that haunt you. It's great you are woman, but your lies and manipulations are why I will not vote for you.

Rendell is an idiot. If Obama selects Hillary as VP, then he better hire a food taster and have the Oval Office checked for bombs every day. Couple that with Bill Clinton underminding him and "skirt chasing" the female staff . . . uhh, no, I can't imagine him selecting Hillary as VP.

Insofar as him losing West Virginia last night by a wide margin, who cares? Only goes to show you that we still have "Deliverance" type stupid, racist, poor white people in the hinterlands of our country. By the by, this is only one demographic group that the media keeps mentioning. What about black people, college educated folks, etc.? To win the general election, you need a coalition, not just one group. Moreover, it has already been said (but not really emphasized by the media) that Obama will have a different electoral map then the one Democrats usually pursue. Bottom line is that voters will either cut off their nose to spite their face (i.e., vote for the white guy or gal and have eight more years of Bush type politics) or select someone that has promised change in Washington.

no..no..no…no..

these hillary supporters want her to be v.p so that their careers dont go into the toilet..

they supported the loser so, they have to take their medicine.

show better judgement next time.

This is getting so old. If Hillary was winning like Obama is, the world would be yelling for him to get out of the race. Her supporters would be telling Obama supporters not to be crazy threatening to vote for the other party and EVERYONE would blast Obama for pointing out he has the young, black, and well educated coalition.

Guys and Gals stop this fighting and move forward. Whether or not Hillary is on the ballot or not, McCain can not win. He and his ideas for the country parralell the ideas of GW. Understand that if your hurting now, just think were you will be if he is back in office for another term or the worse case scenerio, 2 terms.

Ed Rendell should mind his business, I can distinctly remember Ed Rendell saying that Pennsylvania his State was not ready to vote for a black man for President of The United States of America prior to the primary election there. How racist is that comment? Ed Rendell was very instrumental in playing all the dirty tricks that played out in his
State with friends like him Barack Obama doesn't need any foes.

I am hoping that Barack Obama chooses a running mate that truly reflects the message that he has built his campaign on and Hillary Clinton does not fill that bill. The sooner Hillary disappears the better for the Democratic Party.

Absolutely NOT!

There is no way after all of this back and forth in-fighting from the Clinton camp that he will add her to the ticket.

I voted for Obama and after seeing him go under attacks from the Clintons and the media, I will not vote for the Obama/Clinton ticket. I will either not vote or vote for McCain/Huckabee. I could use the tax break anyway.

Obama needs to choose a candidate who can win with rural, white voters –> John Edwards.

Barack Obama should not allow the fox a chance to get into the hen house. Senator Clinton is so concerned about herself and not what is best for the country, she would cause more trouble than she could be worth. Barack needs to keep the Clinton machine from destroying what he and his supporters have worked so hard to build. I am a conservative and do not agree with all that the Democratic party stands for, but I will vote for Barack Obama. I will step back across the line if I see Clinton on the ticket.

Hillary should concede now.

How pathetic Rendell is, Now you want her to his VP, I thought you guys knew she was going to be the nominee , You campaigned so hard putting Obama off the records. Look it's simple Hilary does not deserve that slot at all. We a Governor and absolutely not you Rendell.

In the words of Rodney King, "Why can't we all just get along?" LOL

Rendell should shut up. Like him, the Clinton banner represent the politics of personal destruction, distortion, corruption and lies and frankly speaking, I'm more than tired of all of them.
