Well folks, it's official! I am DONE with HRC supporters. I could care less if they vote in November or not. After the pathetic display of people like Geraldine Ferraro in the last few days, I am not interested in having their support.

I hope that they all stay home in November. Go ahead and do it. As a member of NARAL, I dare them to STAY HOME and watch McCain repeal Roe v. Wade. Go ahead, make my day.

I am tired of Obama supporters having to tip toe around as though we should be ASHAMED that our candidate WON fair and square. No more for me. I am going to GLOAT and BE THRILLED.

Those former HRC supporters who want to jump on the O train, welcome. To the others, feel free to stay home in November. Your children and grandchildren will thank you for contributing to the fall of a great power by electing McCain.

Oh God no don't let Hillary anywhere near the VP slot! It's high time the woman is put on permanent mute!

I agree with President Carter. The Republicans would have that Obama/Clinton for lunch... because they would come out in droves to defeat Hillary Clinton. They want her on this ticket and are licking their chops right now.

If Hillary's smart, she wouldn't accept the VP offer if Obama made it. The reason? If he lost the general, the Hillary-bashing chatterati would–erroneously– blame her presence on the ticket for the loss.

And if he won with her as his Vice President, what then? John Nance Garner was right when he said being VP wasn't worth a bucket of warm spit. Hillary would do better to remain in the Senate where she can get things done and not have to play second fiddle to an overhyped Chief Executive likely to fall flat on his face whenever the chips are down.

Wow!!! Worst president ever puts in his two cents. Glad to see that the world's #1 appeaser has some time on his hands. God help us all if Jimmy Carter Jr. (Mr. Obama) gets into the White House

Also, the VP isn't in the White House, right? Why are these people worried about Bill being back in the White House if Hillary is VP?

What is the big deal?

This is not about popularity contest. This is about the future of our nation.

I think Obama has good wishes, is a dreamer, has hope of change, is too young for this... but He can actually do a pretty good job... the only thing I am worried about is that he will let all the middle easterns come our way easily.

Hillary has made mistakes but has proven and has worked hard for this country. She made a mistake with the war in Irak.... but I think she will stand in a best position for our country... why people do not want to elect her? simply because she is a woman... no matter what they say...

Finnaly, let's look at real issues.... and let's make up our minds....

For all the Hillary bashers...remove your emotion and do your home work. See what she has accomplished in her life and career. You might be surprised.

Sorry Matt, I am calling BS on that. weary and frustrated? please. no.

proObama? – 2008? – yes I am!

but to his active supporters – stop trying to intimidate and threaten and bash. get it together. So HRC supporters will vote for McCain if things dont go their way. But what are you 'yes we can' people going to do if things dont go your way – riot? Represent Obama for God's sake. Exemplify the dignity of the man. Emulate – dont spread hate!

To Cliton Haters:

Vote Obama so Clinton wont run in 2012

Obamabots need to begin dialing back the hate speech. If they want to win in November, they are going to need every Clinton supporter they can get.

Why is my comment in moderation for sooo long?

I read all these comments .. its too bad that hillary supporters wont vote for barack due to the comments made by barack supporters. Look at the man himself, and what he stands for, not what other ppl that support him think. Its the principle behind barack that we should focus on. He is a legitimate person, who is different from past politicians.

This is a man who came from nothing to something, a man who handily beat the clintons, a powerhouse political family. To vote for mccain, who represents a 3rd bush term – even more radical on foreign policy then bush – would be a disaster.

Take a look at barack, hes a good man, that will put the US back on the world map and fix this crippled economy.

I am SO sure Senator Obama would not even dream of offering the VP spot to a woman who has lied, cried and is somewhat delusional! I agree she is making strides for women , however she is NOT the first woman to run for this office & will not be the last.

Hilary & her husband had their turn in the White House...I say let the remaining states vote, then they can take their toys and go home. Hilary has been planting this seed of being president since the day they left the White House, but its OBVIOUS it is NOT her time!!

As far as her winning KY...there were tons of Blacks & Whites that voted for Obama. She went up in those cricks & hollers were all those inbred, possum eating, illiterates live. The only Black person most of them know is Michael Jordan.

Obama would not get the vote in those places even if he put Hilary AND Bill on the ticket. I am a Black woman from Louisville, KY and racism there is STRONG!! I KNOW what I am talking about!

I am proud of the Blacks AND Whites that did go out to vote for the next president of the United States of America...Barack Obama!!!

OBAMA 08-12!

Hey brilliant ones–

Obama can't win without her supporters–he doesn't stand a chance against McCain.

Another thing–if he's so great, name ONE thing he accomplished in the Senate...

Has he been checked out for dementia.

We're close to the finish line in the primaries, and CNN, your campaign news reports, Political Ticker notably, have been many times so inaccurate and biased that I chuckle at everything. And, the same people with the same venom keep attacking Senator Clinton and her supporters to death. You and them make me feel ashamed and apprehensive to join in to support Senator Obama all the way. It shows that the Obama camp wants to win the primaries at all cost but I doubt that he will succeed at the general election without the votes from Senator Clinton's supporters.
Be kinder and wiser, people.

The Clinton Family will do just about anything to save their face in their predicament. If HRC does not get the nomination to Obama, Bill and Hillary will lose their political clout in the US and around the world. Bill will get less speaking engagements, less donation to his foundations, less money from lobbyists, etc. etc. Hillary probably will not get re-elected as a NY senator since she only used NY as a convenient stepping stone to prepare for her presidential ambition. Bill and Hillary are probably preparing to make Chelsea the first woman president that Hillary wanted to be but could not be. The Clinton Family is all about making a legacy for themselves.

It would be great to see everyone move forward from this so-called "dream ticket". It's not going to happen, so move on already!!!

Of course, she will.
But will we? NO!!!

It makes one wonder what Hillary Clinton has on her mind. She continues to run despite her mathematical odds against gaining the nomination. She is in red ink with respect to her campaign payment obligations. It appears to be all over until she tosses in the towel. And yet this woman continues to politic. What is she "lobbying for"?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Please!
No Hillary Clinton.

Obama with Barbara Boxer or Joe Biden or Bill RIchardson or anybody but not Hillary Clinton. Even Chuck Hagel will do.

Obama '08

Obama supporters need to realize we democrats that vote for the candidate rather then just whatever the party throws at, us are not happy with Obamas' far left ideas. We will not support him just because he is the nominee. We are often referred to as Reagan Democrats. We do not blindly follow anybody. We may not like McCain but we will weigh the options. I, for one of at least thirty I know of, will write Hillary Clinton on our ballots in November.

Keep your threats to yourself. Coercion will not garner HRC the nomination. You're just kicking sand and pouting, tacky, tacky, tacky. Take your ball and go home already.

When you have campaigned saying that Clinton is representative of the Washington establishment and then pick her as a running mate the message is you'll do anything to win. That will further divide the party and will likely set the stage for loosing the General as well. If indeed he is the nominee he would be better of picking a prominent Democrat who hasn't been connected with the Washington establishment. Maybe a woman but whom ever it is I just hope this person has been well vetted.

That the Obama/Clinton is a DREAM ticket for the REPUBLICANS. Their party is floundering and the one person who can unify them the most is Hillary Clinton. If she's on the November ticket, expect record Republican turnout.

I wish Carter would stick to building houses. He's the worst president in US history and has been wrong on every single foreign policy issue...Iran in the 70s, North Korea ("I can't believe Kim Jong Il lied"), to Hamas.

Take note people...Obama has the same ideas that Carter did!!!

Who cares what this person said.
What the people care is who will/can win in Nov, Who can save American? Only choice is either Hillary or John.
Looks like Democratic Party will be gone because their so-called leaders deceived their loyal democrats and gave up the strong candidate.

I will vote for Obama as long as it is not with Clinton. And I'm a staunch Republican. Barrack would be foolish to take her. He really needs someone like Edwards or Gore.

Well that ticket sounds like the old Oil and Water it just doesnt mix. Can you see it Clinton trying to underhand Obama and Obama telling Clinton shut up and mind your position she wants to be a leader so bad that she will try to destroy what ever is n here way (DEM PARTY) hint hint

Clinton is ruining the Democractic run by staying in. Her inability to see the big picturs is breathtaking. She is everything Obama is not. She is old,tragic,self-centered,mean. Her vision is so distorted and out of focus it is frightening. She needs therapy not a VP slot.

Carter: Irrelevant, idiot, and undeserving of press coverage. A worse president than bush in case we have forgotten.

Obama has the support of Democrats, Independents, Republicans, and the non-affiliated. This man can bring our country together and out of this recession!!

Obama Generation, Stand Up!!

I am just fed up with the Obama supporters' vile and hate-filled rhetoric.

Clinton would be a nightmare VP. She would undermine Obama, and take credit for any accomplishments. I know it's unprecedented, but I could see her challenging him again in 2012 even as his VP. She would capitalize on Obama's naivete and lack of experience to bolster her standing with voters.

I really think Obama should take a closer look at Kathleen Sibelius. I know she's one that's already on his short list and he should really move her up on that list for a much closer look at being his running mate. She's done some amazing things in Kansas and would help toward gaining some of the female supporters that so strongly support Hillary.

If Sibelius served as VP in 2008 and 2012, with positive improvements in the country, I would without a doubt vote for her as president 2016. Her record/history is very strong and I think she brings much more honor, respect, and positive movement to the country then Hillary has shown in the last year. I have more respect for her right now then I've ever had for Hillary.

She's not worhy. She's deluded. I hope her supporters get away from her before she rounds them up and forces them to drink the Kool Aid.

dwayne May 21st, 2008 12:37 pm ET

I'm an Obama supporter, if Hillary gets the nomination fair and square I'll vote for her over McSame any day.

Look, Divide & Conquer is right out of the republican play book from the Feds to the Locals; therefore, if you want to play into that game then keep your mouth shut when John McSame wins the general election. Otherwise be happy that the Dems have the upper hand right now, because another 4 years of McSame is going to put a serious dent in all of your pay-checks. You think it's bad now…go ahead an let your ignorant opinions put him in the White House and see what

... Mccain ia a hell of a lot better than King obama

Obama won't win Florida without her.

Ergo, Obama won't win the White House.

Carter should keep his opinions to himself. This whole process needs to run it's course without the input of politicians who think they know what is best.
Carter was not a good president so what does he know.
Go Hillary!!!!

Jimmy is the man! However, it's time to be done with the Clintons. Obama needs someone with military experience and Hillary's little jaunt to Bosnia just isn't enough. I don't see how Hillary could take the V.P. job ... she is clearly so self-serving and self-centered that even if elected as the V.P. I think she would try and act like she was the President.

Enough dynasties in America ... it's time to move on.

I hope they unite, we need them both for the sake of this country, let's see Obama's real UNITY!

hillary is becoming a serious problem.21% of kentuckians admitted that race was a factor ,in their choice,and they voted overwhelmingly for mrs. clinton.what a sad state ,the people in this area,must be in,that they haven't advanced ,socially,along with the rest of the world.it tells us our education system is a failure.

For the first time in my life I agree with Pres Carter.

All of the Obama supporter's on here who don't want Hillary on the ticket are morons. Obama's ONLY chance of winning the White House is with Hillary Clinton on the ticket.

Another thing, I cannot believe that a large percentage of the Obama supporter's believe that he can win without her supporter's. It just makes me wonder how stupid some of you really are.

Also, how can Obama be 'ahead' of McCain in national polls if the Democratic party is still so HUGELY divided (exit polls in primaries are still showing that)?

Please do not offer her the VP slot. The last thing we need is the Clintons back in the White House.

We believe Hillary will end up winning the democratic nomination. So, if she does, she might pick Obama.

Hillary Clinton for President!!!!!!!!!!

An Obama-Clinton ticket is HIGHLY unlikely, given Clinton's divisive and destructive tactics. Thanks Hillary, for running a broken campaign... you've nearly destroyed our party. Thanks!

How is Hillary Clinton going to win the Black vote???

NO DEMOCRAT HAS WON THE WHITE HOUSE IN THE LAST 40 YEARS WITHOUT THE BLACK VOTE.

Those so-called Blue Collar White voters usually go back home to the Republican party during general elections.

DEMOCRATS HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO WIN 30% OF THEM IN THE HIGH COUNT...IT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTE THAT HISTORICALLY PUTS THEM OVER!

Hillary has driven a racial wedge between herself and African Americans who for the first time have a candidate that could win the nomination, and the White House.
HE IS LEADING IN PLEDGED DELEGATES, POPULAR VOTES, STATES WON, SUPER DELEGATES, AND MONEY.

IF HILLARY GETS THE NOMINATION, SHE WILL LOSE THE GENERAL ELECTION BECAUSE THE MOST RELIABLE MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AFRICAN AMERICAN, WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HER!

MOST WILL NOT VOTE AT ALL.

DO NOT ASK HILLARY TO BE THE VP. HE WOULD BE SORRY.

didn't finish my comment...

Mary you've made the uneducated decision to vote AGAINST Obama, when you should cast your vote based on who you believe in not in the person you are against. If you're going to vote for McCain do so because you believe in what he stands for.

I have been posting since 12:03 pm ET. All still under moderation. Come on CNN. I'm ready for change on these blogs.

Hillary or McCain

Carter is wrong that Obama would be better served by another VP. Millions upon millions of American women remember that the Clinton years were NOT just more of Bush, and many will write in her name. Obama's protraying the Hillary as old school will make it more difficult to offer her the spot, but that just shows his political inexperience. Ronald Reagan was smart enough to bring Bush on, even after the Voodoo economics comment. They'd both better kiss and make up. It will be a landslide with great coat-tails for the Senate and House.

It is not going to happen, give it up. If the primary wouldn't have gotten so messy, the maybe, but not now, won't happen.

Another brilliant comment from the fortunately-ex-President.

Hillary has criticized Barak and called him every name in the book - he would be crazy to make her his VP. The Repubs would love that senario!! Makes no sense whatsoever!

OBAMA 08

If you supported Hillary or Obama and then decided to vote for Mc Cain, you obviously don't know where the candidates stand on the issues. Barack and Hillary are only a few feet apart, Mc Cain is miles from either of them.

Let's see, Barack got the majority of the total vote and delegates and more people totally dislike and don't trust Hillary, how does that make her the stronger candidate.

By the way, the worst president in history is about to leave office and not one will ever come close to his poor performance.

I am a woman, over 60, and like the Bible says: there is a season for all things. There is a time to fight, and a time to concede. There is a time to divide, and a time to unite. There is a time to be selfish, and a time to be selfless and live for a higher goal than self. It is that new time in the primary, and I believe Sen. Clinton has the grit and substance to say, "I take all responsibility for my falling behind in the primary, I now take responsibility for uniting and healing our party behind the nominee."

I would love to see a woman become President. I do not see Hillary as either President, or Vice President on an Obama ticket. Her politics, leadership model/behaviors, and management abilities are disappointing. She has other excellent credentials that will continue to serve her well in the public or private sector. I wish her well. Within a decade or two a woman from the current governor or senate pools likely will become President. Hillary deserves credit for further advancing the reality of a woman President.

Obama – Clinton (or Clinton -Obama) is incompatible and will simply not work. The democrats will unite to the extent possible and people will vote as they wish.

No, more appropriately, OBAMA may be considered for VP.

The West Va and Kentucky polls have demonstrated that these voters will vote for someone they think is dishonest and unfair before they will vote for a black candidate. Hillary Clinton as VP will not sway these voters to be any less racist and would turn many Obama supporters away because she does not represent the values of the Obama campaign.

Would Hillary have ever won her senate seat if Bill had not cheated on her? THAT is her ONLY experience. Bill repeatedly cheating on her to get the sympathy of the uneducated voters.
The Clintons do not deserve to get back the White House. I am forever turned off voting for a woman politician. All Hillary does is whine and complain. She tries to talk tough, then cries when someone is tough on her. Anyone who has voted for Billary is a fool. I hope all of you vote for McCain and if he wins then you get what you deserve. When Obama wins, then it will make the victory even sweeter. Clinton supporters are mainly HillBillies.

CARTER is another EXTREME LIBERAL, HIS ADMINISTRATION WAS A TOTAL FAILURE!!!!!!

us hillary supporters don't want her to play second fiddle to the dnc's pet monkey

Hillary for President or McCain, period!!!

To all Clinton's supporters,

If Obama is the nominee, let's vote for McCain in November, to give Hillary another chance in 2012!

Hillary '12

Darth,

As a hillary supporter, I would say that Obama can't win without Hillary supporter so just relax!!

The candidate should be able to ick who he wants to pick after all, they earned the right to do so. We as citizens need to determine if we really want to change this thing or keep going in the direction we've gone in for the last 8 years. I don't know about you but my wallet says "lets try something different"

Hillary Supporters!!

It is a testiment to your intelligence to vote against your own best interests by voting non-democratic. how many soldiers must die for you to get past your selfish spite. do you even care about your children and family's future? I see why you are Hillary supporters….just as she has been selfish to the democratic party by prolonging a lost cause in an attempt to trigger anarchy by overturning the rules she agreed to and the votes of many.

Hillary Clinton should not accept a VP position with Obama if he is the nominee, She is a lot smarter than he is in every catagory. He doesn't even know that we have 50 states not 57 states. He believes that a small state like Iran has little power and less dangerous. He wants to talk to terrorists. God help us if he wins

It would actually be a good thing if Obama dosn't ask Hillary to take the vp spot. She could use that to her advantage if she goes independant.

The dream ticket idea was the best chance that the democrate had to win the general election a few months back, like a few primeries after super tuesday. But unfortunately Clinton since than has been stumping all over this idea by making Obama weak with attacks during the primeries and caucuses. And we all know why she's doing all this, there is say from a different country, let me put in english: "If I can't eat a plate of food from a meat they are cooking right in front of me, I'd rather spoil the meal so that anyone else can eat it".... Again what I'm saying it's clear that she is doing everything in her power to damage Obama's chance to win the general election this November so that she can run again in 2012, witch is her last chance to run for Office. Don't get me wrong I strongly respect Clinton but the problem with her is at this point of the campaign, the only way for her to win the dem. nomination is if the superdelegates take away from Obama and give it to her. But again it's politics, since George W. Bush got elected back in 2000 and 2004, I won't be surprise if something like that happen. Cause at the end of the day we the people never have the final words.

Hillary doesn't need to become VP. VP means nothing and she will be more powerful senator than VP. She will re-run in 2012 if Obama defeats McCain. Hillary's supporters will vote for McCain who is more experience than Obama.

The only way I would vote for Obama is if Hillary is on the ticket, but even then I don't want her on the ticket because Obama would just be using her to get the Hispanic vote, Jewish vote, older voters and the blue collar workers. It is very sad that Obama can't get these voters. Obama doesn't deserve Hillary. If Obama gets the nomination, then Hillary will run again.

Obama's political action committee has doled out more than $694,000 to superdelegates since 2005, the study found, and of the 81 who had announced their support for Obama, 34 had received donations totaling $228,000.

How can one vote for McCain if Hillary is not the democratic nominee? Can't you see that McCain is willing to wage a war with Iran? This would be the end of America as we know it; involved in three wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran), close to bankruptcy, and isolated in the world. Obama is in fact the last hope for this country.

She is just the Huckabee of the Dems. She is a sore looser, she and many non thinkers feel the we are a monarchy with heirs to the throne, nothing further from the thruth, We are a democracy and as such we need to behave. Vote for the candidate of your preference without smearing the other. Be civil, respectful and do not act like you are not . She is still running just to damage Obama. But at the end it will be like the Kentucky Derby, Eight Belles , ran a good race and after Big Brown, crossed tha finish line she broke both her front ankles and had to be euthanized .and Big Brown, he is just fine ready for Belmont,, which he will win confortably, like Barack Obama, will. A winner making history for the ages, opening doors for the better things yet he will bring with his leadership in the WH. Pope or not. Just wait and see, for seeing is believing. Obama, 2008

We, CLINTON DEMOCRATS will NEVER vote for Obama even if Hillary is his VP. Hillary is the MOST QUALIFIED and MODERATE DEMOCRAT. There are MANY of US moderate democrats than extreme liberals in our PARTY. You all BETTER listen to us.

No Hillary, NO MONEY for the DNC, there's a PRIZE to pay. We will see to it Obama will be DEFEATED by McCain. We've had it with FLAWED and WEAK candidate like Obama. We do NOT want extreme liberal to be President, Obama would be WORSE than Bush and MORE dangerous! For over 7 years now we've seen what extremism can do to a nation, Bush have done a LOT of damage into this country; now, you're shoving down our throat another extremist?

HELL NO! WE WON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA!

Barack, you know we don't want Hillary and neither does your wife. Listen to her, women know these things. I would still vote for you if you picked her but I'm praying that you pick someone from a state that you cannot easily win (Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia).

As registered Democrats my and I found it extremely short sighted on the part of the DNC to send us a request for donations when they can't see fit to count our votes in the Florida primary election. Our Republican legislature moved the started date forward for the Presidential primary and as voters we are denied our voice by the DNC. But they sure would like our money to help support them in the denial among other things. Isn't there something wrong with this picture?

Obama is going to find it difficult to find anybody who won't overshadow him. I can think of none. Even a first-time congressman would overshadow Obama. Hillary is way too strong to play second fiddle...

CNN how is it you can keep continuing to spin anything to be pro-Clinton? Front page headline says "Clinton would accept VP, says Carter" this is clearly misleading.

I'm really feeling that the Dem party will not unite this year. I am an Obama supporter, and know that he has called for unity and to be nice to Hillary supporters. I was all for it, until I read some of the comments on these blogs. Hillary supporters threatening, crying sexism, blah blah blah. You people forget that if Hillary somehow does pull this out, you would need us. At this point, I can say for certain that I would never support this lying woman. I started out the primaries not liking her very well, but still would have supported her. Now, I simply detest her and can't even stand to look at her or listen to her.

I think you will find that your threats will NOT work!!!

He would have to hire a food taster. She's completely untrustworthy and unethical. After hearing Jim Webb on NPR yesterday, I'd hope Barack would choose him.

from Gary: "I don't want her involved in any way nor her hard core women supporters who have as their only agenda ...."

Yes Gary it is sad when a candidate agressively identifies with a segment of the population that feels they are "due" for their "type" of person, and will overlook any faults, and divide the party.

Note to Ozombies – that is sarcasm. At all all costs, keep those women away from power. Obama was liberal right?

Obama supporters should have more respect for Hillary supporters. Obama can't win without them. If they despise Hillary and their supporters then many people from Hillary's side will be glad to cast their vote to McCain.

Rethink your attitudes and if Obama is smart, he should swallow his pride and have Hillary on the ticket.

obama "supporters" should keep up their disrespect for Senator Clinton......the best way to get out of your hole is to keep digging.....

Glad to hear the views of one of the most incompetent Presidents this country has seen. Who cares what he thinks?

The woman is not going to cause any problems after the nomination of Barack Obama is official. She cannot go down as the one that "prevented" him from winning it. Once she concedes she will basically have to do everything in her power to help him in the g.e. The saddest part of all of this week's ongoing "need to console Hillary voters" is that in and around it we have lost one of the greatest Democratic minds, and are reeling from the news of Ted Kennedy's diagnosis. Yet, we are still making front page the news about the need to let her play it out. Let her go to the end. Let this heal her voters. Give me a break! I would never ever ever ever consider voting for Hillary in a Democratic primary, but I can tell you I would run to the voting precinct and I would encourage my friends to come with me to vote for her in a general election against any republican. Grow up Hillary supporters.

I won't vote for Obama UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. His character is the biggest jOke in American history alone. Nevermind his total lack of experience. You Obamicans got yourself a nice Mike Dukakis all built up with no legs to stand on.
I also for the 1st time supported a candidate HRC this year, and WILL NOT vote for Obama even with HRC as VP, for above reasons, my conscience won't allow it. DNC won't be seeing any $$ from me either.
I will not vote for McCain either, just will not vote for president at all, unless the green party or something comes up with a good candidate.

Obama is choosing Oprah as his vp. Wright as his secretary of state.

Obamas ;change is a comming to America:I suggest the obama followers to go live in Cuba for a couple months to get used to this NEW CHANGE!!!!

I do not want Hillary as President (to many ties to Washington and lobbiests) but as VP she could undo those ties by saying "her boss says NO" and we have a unified Democratic ticket. Good idea!!! Just do not want her on top!!!! Think of the champaign we could have crisscrossing this country with the Obama's and Clinton's!!!!!

I would never ever vote for Hillary. WHY?

All she does is lie.
She stayed with a man who cheated on her with many many women. Bill had NO respect or love for Hillary yet she stayed with him for her own political gains. NO MORALS
All she does is lie.
She's run the most negitive campaign in history.
All she does is lie.
She can't manage her own campaign let alone a country.
Did I mention she lies?
She Failed the people of New York as a senator. The state lost thousands and thousands of jobs.
Nafta
The war in Iraq
My god, the list goes on and on.
Again, the lies !
She has divided the democratics more than anyone else.
She is destroying the party, so very selfish.

She can't be trusted to be a president. There's no way she would win in November.
The people won't forget what harm she's done.

how's this for positive support? the only way obama has even a sliver of a chance of winning in November is if Senator Clinton is the Vice Presidential nominee

There are much better choices for VP that Obama could make than Clinton that would do a better job of uniting the party.
I for one, can not see myself voting for Clinton in any capacity. She has done to much to divide the party. Also, I don't think the Clintons would be satisfied in taking a backseat to Obama and would be overstepping their bounds on a daily basis. If Bill wasn't with Hillary she'd have a better chance. However, if she didn't have Bill with her she probably wouldn't have gotten this far to begin with.
When the Democratic convention takes place I still have visions of them pulling the Clinton's off the floor in straight jackets. I don't think either of them imagined that the nomination wouldn't be handed to them on a silver platter. In all reality at one time it probably could have but between the lies, the party divisiveness, Bill's playboy antics, stealing of the silverware and dishes, whitewater (?) and more I just can't see a reason to put them back in that position. Make no mistake, it would be a package deal with Hill & Bill. With everything that has gone on the past 8 years why bring back old issues and problems?
My view when I voted was anyone but the Clintons and I haven't changed my mind.
Obama has fresh views and thinks logically. This is something we haven't seen in a long time. He has my vote. I just hope he uses that logical thinking and chooses a less devisive running mate.

Obama is a astute guy, there is no way he is going to choose a woman who is manipulative and at best will continue to undermine him. The choice should be for the best person to represent the democratic party and Obama's vision for change. Clearly that is not Hil-Bill Clinton.

I can see no plus in have Mrs. Clinton as VP. She would not fit the role and her husband would stir the water as he can not keep his mouth shut.

This primary is dragging on so long that people are fighting for all the wrong reasons. The reason to cast a vote in an election/primary is because you support the ideas of the candidate. I don't know that there will ever be a "perfect" candidate, but you have to look at the issues and see who your beliefs are more in line with.

In regards to people voting for McCain instead of Obama because they are such staunch Hillary supporters, I ask you this: Why? Is it
because you don't agree with Obama's policies and stances on the issues? Or is it simply because it is not Hillary? Do you really support McCain's policies? I just ask that people look at the issues and where the candidates stand and then make an informed decision. Votes should not be based on race/gender/age/etc, but on the issues. Remember that the president doesn't work alone either.

If Obama gets the nomination, I just ask all the Clinton supporters that say they will not vote for Obama to think long and hard before they either stay home or cast a vote for McCain. Think about what McCain stands for and how it will affect you/your family/your community/the country as a whole.

Hillary is proud of a boy selling his bike and games for her....how possibly she could take it? she has more than enough money to lend herself 11 million dollars and was greedy to take 400 dollars of a little boy? so disappointing..

Politely & politically correctly said that Hillary Clinton is not the presidential material !!

I agree....she does not know where to draw the in quest to reside in the White House....any means would do as long as she can get there...

She can totally kill the Dems chances by saying she wants the VP role. She can be incredibly effective as a Senator I am sure. If she asks for VP, and Obama declines, she again makes him look bad. And why on earth would Obama want BIll & Hill as his VP? Yikes.

Jimmy is the worst president of course George Bush tops him. I do not understand what makes him qualified to make such predictions.

the more these immature fools disrespect Senator Clinton and her husband, the more certain is the failure of obama's campaign

Nobody asked.

Clinton is the old Washington that Obama has been campaigning against this entire time. Besides how could he possibly trust her.

The problem with putting Hillary on the ticket is not Hillary, it's Bill. Seriously, does anyone think for a minute he won't be out to upstage Obama? He would do the same to his wife, no doubt, but she's married to him. Obama isn't and doesn't need the grief.

Obama/Hagel 08

I remember the Carter years!

It was a VERY bad time for our nation and it is the reason that the majority of Americans called by the pundits as "Moderates" or "Conservatives" will not vote for another Left Wing Liberal, no matter how popular they may seem.

We can't afford to have 4 years of "nothing". There is a lot of actual WORK that needs to be done to get us out of this mess we are in now.

It will take an experienced President that knows what they are doing to move us forward or "change".

Hillary/McCain 08

Shut up, Jimmy. You were the second worst President in history.

Wow!

After what he did 29 years ago with Iran. He still thinks people find him
relevant.

Carter is the reason we have an Iran that is going Nuke, and the terrorist got stronger.

I think Hillary will be our next President and i urge her to select a better VP than O

Xango 4, your blog is right on point. Good to see people that can see behind all the nonsense.

The Democratic party is being held hostage by these "militant feminists" and hard-core Hillary supporters who are basically saying that change the rules so that Hillary wins or make Hillary the VP, or else we vote for McCain. What a shame!! Is this what you call democracy? If you can't accept defeat , take your ball and go play with yourself!!!

obama used racial politics to unfairly and falsely accuse Senator Clinton of somehow disrespecting MLK when she merely acknowledged the contributions made by LBJ to the Civil Rights Movement.......SHAME ON OBAMA THE HYPOCRITE!

Terry,

Al Sharpton is an activist, so he wouldn't be any different than Hillary is right now. She's an activist and her mission is to destroy the Democratic Convention because she is losing, and is not the front runner. So your crack at being funny, really has a ring of truth. Of course Barack is a serious candidate who will select the best person for his ticket and we all know that's not Hillary.

How anybody can say that Obama will not ask Hillary Clinton to be his VP candidate should he win the top spot, is beyond me. And all you Clinton bashers who self-righteously say the job wouldn't be offered to her, had better listen up. Senator Clinton has won five of the last seven primaries - the last two (W. VA and Kentucky) being virtual whippings. So Obama may have no choice if he wishes to get elected. There were REASONS these people supported her, not the least of which was that they just thought she would make the better president. All the above said, I think the last thing she would want is a shared ticket with the inexperienced one.

cnn wil say anything that benefits obama, haven't u'l learn that. look @ all the obama supporters they have. i don't think hillary supporters will vote 4 obama i know i won't and believe me it's not because i'm rasist, it's a free america and everyone can vote 4 whoever they want, but i will not vote 4 obama ......hillary u's in my prayers.....he is not my choice......

I hope he doesn't ask her! I won't vote for any ticket with her on it; either on the top or the bottom! She is power hungry and won't do well as No. 2 to anybody!

The ONLY ticket will work is CLIINTON '/ Obama ticket. She has the states and demographics to win, he is still chasing them down.
Obama on top of any ticket loses, his best path to the White House is VP now and 2016 contest.
I am quite sure 30% or better of Clinton supporters go to McCain for the experience and the contry sake, and McCain VP will certainly will be key.
I rather see Clinton as VP to McCain than to Obama, just not a winning ticket with Obama on top.
32 year voting democrat

To all of you vowing not to vote for Obama because of his supporters:

WHAT!?!?! What is WRONG with you? Last I checked, it's about the CANDIDATES, not who or who is not supporting them or how enthusiastic they are or what they say.

This is just plain lunacy!

What I don't get is why the need to stop this now-FDR's first run went into the fifth day of the Dem. convention-Ted Kennedy went until Aug-what are the Obamabots afraid of???-Let this all play out-It's nonsense and hype that the Dems will rip apart-We need a very SEASONED person in there-I bet Warren Buffet(who just came out for Obama) wouldn't appoint a novice as CEO to one of his businesses. This isn't American Idol-who can fill stadiums or give a great speech- I'm looking for someone who'll be relentless and get us out of this mess!

Remember-Obama needs Hillary supporters to make the general election his! and by the way his supports post hateful messages-we'll let's just say-beware of people switching over-I am-and I have to go with experience as the main reason-A real Dem. just doesn't vote because a person is a Dem-he/she votes for the best qualified-Obama just isn't. I thought Dems were for the people on the margins of society-poor isn't anymore-this isn't about white or black-it's about the poor and all of us helping them-not ignoring them as Obama has done with WV and KY.

Whatever happened to the best ex-President we ever knew? How does he know that Hillary would want to be V.P. to Obama? Has he been authorized to speak for Hillary, or is this just another scheme to let people get used to the idea that the primaries are over before they are actually over? If Democrats do not want a protracted selection process, they should redesign their Primary process, instead of pressuring, and heckling a genuine and viable candidate to quit even before there is a nominee. These democrats have been asking Hillary to quit since Iowa. Everyone just wants to shortcut the process, because following it will weaken Obama. Does this make any sense?

No way. I read all the blogs from Hillary Hags and they don't think Obama is electable (meaning black)...doesn't have enough experience...they will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win the nomination...YET THEY WANT HER FOR HIS VP. They want Hillary to WORK FOR OBAMA? Does any of that make sense to anyone with half a brain?

She has polarized her followers to the extent they are blinded by her rage in losing this nomination. They actually believe Fl and MI should be seated by HILLARY'S RULES forgetting about all the other 48 states much less that the game started months ago.

Hillary's so called democaratic process is disgusting. I simply cannot believe anyone running for the highest office in this country has so little regard for the basic principles on which this democracy was founded. Yeah let's just throw out all the rules and go by Hill-Billie law.

Please stop insulting Americans' intelligence by saying it is all about the POPULAR vote which counts Puerto Rico (no mention of Guam now) when they aren't even sates and cannot vote in the GE. Stop insulting Americans' intelligence by saying ALL VOTES SHOULD COUNT when you leave out huge blocks of voters in caucus states and don't have the other candidate's name on the ballot.

Obama and Hilary would make a great p & vp as it would ensure a Republic victory. On the other hand, if I was Obama and selected Hillary as my VP, I would have myself surrounded with security guards 24 hours a day, have a taste tester for my food and drink, and never never never turn my back on her. Too many mysterious deaths when her husband, and I sure the term loosely, was president. So the surest way for her to become president is accept the VP position, then Obama dies.

Clinton has disqualified herself from VP by her mean-spirited, racist attacks on Obama and his supporters.

Besides, she doesn't get him any states he couldn't get on his own in the general election – KY and WV will undoubtedly go Republican.

Let's get a VP who can nail down Ohio and the rust belt.

I really hope Sen Obama does not consider HRC for VP. It would go against everything he has been saying about changing Washington. You will be getting 2 people in the VP spot. Not only HRC but her husband Bill as well. We are in deep trouble. I would not be suprised Hillary tried to run the show once she was asked. She did not enter this race to be 2nd. She will push Obama to seat certain people in cabinet positions and to handle certain issues. With all that "tenacity" she has where do you think it's going to go once she is on the ticket?

GREG FROM POTTSTOWN- saying obama shares the views of rev Wright is ridiculous, stop using this a an excuse not to vote for a black man. If we take that attitude the there shouldn't be anyone working for the government. I sure there has been influence on the part of their parents and grandparents. Martin Luther King was murdered only 40 years ago. A time when it was politically correct to hate African Americans who are also americans. How could you judge Rev Wright and not judge your own people.

naivete = obama supporter

> when Bill left in 2001, he left the presidency a very comfortable one
> including a huge $250 Billion surplus

Oh, I see... and the federal reserve, republican congress and the internet boom had really nothing to do with it? I must remember to go back and white-out all those darn history books.

"The former president also reiterated that he does not have direct contact with either campaign and is not privy to the VP deliberations. "

If you don't know please be quiet. These commentaries influence voters in the wrong way.

Thanks,

In the name of democracy ,Hillary has proven to be unfit for any elected office.Lies ,deceit,smoke screens, party & nation divisive tactics while engaging in much of the behavior she accuses her opponent of. She really hasn't done anything for NY . All her & Bill have ever done is a lot of lip service when you look closely. I'd like to hear more about her accepting donations from Iran supporters& their involvement in the situation w/ paul of Calif for starters.

If Hillary was the Governor of Ohio or Florida and not married to Bill Clinton, she'd be perfect. The only way she'd help Obama is by ensuring most of her people would support Obama. But she has claimed she will do all she can to help the nominee, anyway. Her publicly campaigning with him and his wonderful, party-mending speeches will help Democrats realize that this can be an easy win if they unite. If Obama plays that card and gets Nunn, former GA Gov, or Rendell (a Clinton supporter), or Sebelius (a female), he do much more for himself than suffice with a dysfunctional Obama-Clinton White House.

Richard, I have been following Obama for some time now, and I've heard him say what his agenda and policies are in his speechs, and in print. If you read a newspaper, if you listen to his speeches, you will hear what his policies are.

obama's bringing in the money and then giving it to the superdelegates who will decide the Democratic nomination.....does anyone else see a problem with this?

If Hillary was so touch 'WHY CAN'T SHE BEAT OBAMA?"

Hillary Clinton would destroy Obama's chances in the GE.

The Republicans would come out in droves to keep the Clintons out of the White House.

I would not vote for Obama if he put Hillary on the ticket. The Clintons are criminals.

That is why the Republicans are pushing for Hillary on the ticket. That is their only chance to beat Obama.

I wouldn't trust her or her husband on Obama's ticket.
They have done every thing in their power to render him unelectable including releasing the tapes of REV WRIGHT to drive a wedge between he and the so-called White Blue collar workers (Uneducated racist morons).

They would do everything in their power to undermine him, or even set him up so she could be crowned Queen of America...President.

The fact that she and her husband are happily accepting the votes of confessed BIGOTS and RACISTS really speaks volumes as to their moral fiber.

Obama does not need RACISTS in "Blue collar" clothing to win the Presidency, HE WILL WIN THE PRESIDENCY INSPITE OF THEM!

Hillary, put on your boots, your ten-gallon hat and strap on your holster with your six-shooters. Meet with Obama and tell him you don't want to be his v.p. and you don't need his money because you will be running as an independent and that you will be writing a tell all book about all those you "know" since coming to Washingston! I bet you could tell some good stories and recup all of the money you had to loan your campaign!

Who cares what this fool has to say? He was one of the worst presidents in American history.

President Carter hopefully is right. Picking Hillary Clinton as his VP would be a contradiction of everything Obama stands for. If you ever watched the show "Prison Break" the woman that makes it to the presidency there makes me think "Wow, that is Hillary Clinton" evil, deceitful, immoral, scheming and do anything to get and keep power. When anyone is caught in a lie and then they claim that they "Misspoke" this is utter rubbish. Hillary Clinton seems willing to say or do anything. Whether right or wrong, true or false nothing is to get in her way to satisfy her ego. When she claims she wants to serve the American people, it is only a fallacy as the only person she wants to serve is herself. If I was an American I would surely put all my efforts behind Obama.

the electoral maps (electoral-vote.com) shows Senator Clinton as the only Democrat who can win in November....

CNN – LETS GET REAL, THERE IS AN OLD SAYING, "SORE LOSER"
GET A GRIP HILLARY SUPPORTERS, FACE THE MUSIC, SHE IS
RUINING THE PARTY, AS FOR "BILLY BOY" HER HUSBAND, I'VE
HAD MY FILL OF HIS MUG. THIS WASN'T "HIS" CAMPAIGN, BUT
SOME PEOPLE I HAVE TALKED TO (OVER 60) FEEL A VOTE FOR
HILLARY MEANS ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF BILLY BOY, WAKE
UP DEMOCRATIC'S. REMEMBER ALOT OF THESE WIN'S ARE
REPUBLICAN'S WANTING HILLARY SO MCCAIN WILL TAKE OVER
WHERE BUSH LEFT OFF, WE ARE BEING BUSHWACKED BY THE
REPUBLICANS. BE SMART VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE.

Everybody is cracking me up saying that Obama has no experience and can’t run the country. SURELY he’ll do a better job than Bush; shoots my 86 year old grandmother with Alzheimer can do better than Bush.

Give me a break! Stop whining and pouting. You bloggers are acting worse than my 4 year old daughter throwing a temper tantrum. Good grief!

Jimmy Carter's comments are as sexist as any I've heard! Hilary Clinton would accept the second spot–where women have always been placed by egotistical males. Other countries have been governed well by women, but the good ol' USA has to stay macho!

Get a grip, America!

It is a shame that people are so foolish that they would rather suffer for another four years rather than go with change.

Well all those who want to vote for McCain because they support Clinton and she is not the nomiee are so foolish.

Clinton and Obama are basically on the same page in terms of
healthcare, education, economy but I guess that is not sufficient. All I can say I hope they don't complain when, their taxes are increased, still no proper healthcare, loose their homes and more of their jobs get shipped off somewhere else and of course the tax payers money that is spent for this Iraqi war continues and more of our children die in a war that should have never been waged.

I read all these comments and they are haters from both fronts Clinton and Obama yall need to just stop and band together to unify so that the Democratics can head to the White House come January 2009

Richard what planet are you living on MARS!

You are just like all the other unecudate people who can't see past color

A joint ticket would probably hurt the party more than anything. Clinton did nothing but attack and divide this party and does not deserve to be VP.

We don't want or need Clinton supporters who won't vote for Obama. We got this far without you and we'll be laughing all the way to the White House!

That and we don't want Billy Boy in the White House again, sneaking into the oval office for a session with an intern.

Obama '08

There are many, many good candidates for VP for Obama including Sen. Jim Webb, Gen. Clark, Sen. Dodd, Gov. Richardson, Gov. Rendell. This is just a tiny bit of a long list. If Sen. Clinton wants to be on the VP list, she can take positive steps to support Obama.

Dear President Obama,

As a true feminist who is outdone by all of these bitter 2nd-wavers claiming they'll vote for McCain and set women back by 100 years if Hillary is not the nominee, and as a young black woman who is appalled by the Clintons' race-baiting and suggestions that black people should somehow be grateful for the Nothingness that they did for us way back when, I am begging you to keep her far away from your ticket.

There are more progressive vice-presidents, male or female, to be found!!!

Considering how divided the votes are now b/t the two I do not understand how anyone could think that Clinton on the ticket would not help his campaign. Yes, she takes lobby money and they certainly have slightly different views on how to achieve the same goals; but they are both consistently getting votes from two very different cohorts. Together they would be unstoppable.

Awwww come on.... Charlie Brown has his Snoopy... The Skipper has his Gilligan.... Why cant Obama have his Hillary???? NOT!
OBAMA 08 WITHOUT HILLARY!

Go ahead, vote for McCain. Us Obama supporters will survive since most of us are well off, have little or no financial difficulties and the current economic conditions don't faze many of us. Don't come crying when McCain raises gas prices, outsources your jobs, cut your healthcare, get rid of education and medical research and continue the war.

Obama/Edwards

OBAMA/CARTER 08!

let me remind obama "supporters" not to be arrogant, ignorant, racist and sexist.......oops, too late!

Clinton deservs president nominee. She is the one most voters voted for, not Obama. Why did Obama supporters thought Obama have the right to nominate who the VP should be.

She would never accept because she is going to be the next president. If she would accept the VP position she would lose tons of fans including myself and my brother. Let this guy sink by himself and run independent.

considering that's probably the only way many millions of Senator Clinton supporters would vote for obama, its his only chance of having a chance to win the White House

Hillary for VP, please. She has no thoughts for her supporters other than what they can give her. Same for her husband. She's a parasite, a leech on society, and has too many personalities for me to count!

I think the true Democrats, not Rush's Operation chaos fakes, should stop any infighting and look at the bigger picture.

There is no way in hell this country can survive the continuation of George Bush’s economic and Iraq strategies. If McSame was to be elected we would go from a recession to a depression, and we would end up in a war with Iran and Syria.

As an Obama supporter, allow Hillary to finish out the primaries as is her right. I just ask this of Hillary, please take the high road from now on a wage your fight for what counts, the American people.

Barack will probably be the nominee, if he does pick Hillary, then as democrats we should unite and support them both. If Obama picks someone else, I ask the Clintons to do what's best for the Democratic Party and this Nation and put all of their support behind Barack and his VP choice to send them to the Whitehouse.

The problem is that the more Obama tries to unify the party, the more Hillary keeps bringing up issues that causes her flock of women and blue collar men to hate Obama more. Things like race, the latest being sexist. Why can she not attempt to win on her own merit without blaming it on one thing on the other. This is another evidence of her divisiveness and polarization. How many times have you heard Barack say that she cannot win without the blacks and college-educated. I am so surprised to see her stoop so low to bring the issue of sexism recently. Shame on you, Hillary. Please just go away.

Why she is not winning amongst the college educated is because they are smart enough to see through all her gimmicks, lies and manipulations and do not fall for all that.

Although I don't particularly like Hillary, I think it makes a lot of sense for Obama to atleast OFFER her the VP spot. And I do think she would accept.

In addition to uniting the party, and pulling many of Hillary's supporters into the obama camp, having the clinton machine and their rolodex in the white house will help Barack's plans materialize, from a legislative perspective.

She would be poison to his efforts for real change. She is in this for herself and Billy as has always been the case. We don’t need any more Lies from our leaders as we have the last 7 years!
Enough of the "Clantons" and their games. America needs to move on!

Sorry, he does not need her. She only brings much of the same old Politics.
And honestly in my opinion I can not vote for anyone who voted for this WAR.
Barack or Ron Paul maybe even Nader are a good choice for real (honest) change.

I don't understand all these posts from Hillary supporters who threaten to vote against Obama. After a close pennant race, it is customary to root against the team that knocked your team out of the playoffs. But this ain't sports. Hopefully by November everyone will settle down and actually vote on the issues.

»»»OBAMA!VICTORY!...OBAMA!...HURRAH!...the party is...on.

If Obama is elected President-it wouldn't be so bad because the real truth of the matter is: Kerry and Kennedy would be defacto presidents: the real power behind the thrown. Obama would make pretty international eye candy. Now that Kennedy is ill who would replace him in wisdom and influence. Also, when did any other candidate ever reject the racists who voted for him. Leave HRC alone with your insulting demands.

I agree..Hillary is way too strong for the VP position. Everyone would look to her for answers and he would end up a lame duck. I don't know where he will find a running mate that would be weaker then he is. Maybe Dodd or Richardson? I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November, I will not vote for a Mondale clone.

This is hysterical. Does no one realize that when women vote, Democrats win? Does everyone REALLY believe that the 9+ million women who've voted for Hillary so far will "fall in line" behind the man, just as they have their whole lives?

Not so fast.

Those that are still trying to make the arguement of wanting some one with more experience. I'll take smarts and common sense any day over experience. Cheney has 100 times more experience than Hillary and Obama put together... and you can see what thats gotten us.

Reading these Obama comments...these are educated people, or what country are they from???

sorry to disagree but Bush is by a long shot the worst president in American history By FAR
Jimmy Carter should be respected and held in honor for all the
PEACE he has strived for in the world and still continues to strive for
Sorry I would take a president who advocates for peace(Who also has anobel peace prize to prove it) any day over one whose first instinct is to drop bombs on his fellowman
God Bless you president Carter for all the good you have strived for
There are some people who admire and respect your endeavours
and opinions sir

Talk, Talk, Talk, that is all Obama does, if Hillary is not on the ticket, then the hell with the election.

I am a strong, longtime Hillary supporter, and I don't want her anywhere near a ticket with Obama at the top. Stay as far from that trainwreck as you can, Hillary!

She'll give the ticket, whatever it is, her support like a good Democrat, but I hope that she allows Obama and whoever his running mate is to lose all on their own with no on able to say that her presence on the ticket caused it to fail.

»»Bye Bye Hillary "So DULL" Clinton! ( do NOT comeback! ) American people do NOT like FAKE people like YOU!....Hurrah for OBAMA :- Obama is the nominee. HURRAH!...

Does anyone on here use any type of spell check or know how to proof read? Just wondering.

I am an Obama supporter, but I have to say that Hillary looks good in a pants suit.

All of these Obama-droids support their candidates message of change and uniting the country. Yet, they are so divisive when it comes to uniting the Obama camp with the Clinton coalition – and that's even within the Democratic Party. If that is true, then all this talk of him being a unifier is all rhetoric and completely bogus. He claims that he will cross party lines, but yet he has been unable to do bridge the divide within his own party.

If he does become the nominee, he needs to demonstrate this quality he claims to have by picking Clinton as his VP. She has the support of HALF the democratic party and has earned the right to the VP spot. Otherwise, look forward to a McCain presidency... I am a life long Democrat, but will defnitely vote for McCain if Clinton isn't part of the democratic ticket.

I would rather Obama lose the race for the White House before adding Hillary to his ticket!!!

I am an OBAMA voter but I DO NOT hate Hillary. I think she has made some low blows in this campaign and has created a lot of damage causing her supporters to bring out the worst in them. (ie: the pouting of voting for MCBush)

I think she knows what she is doing and is poising herself for a 2012 run, but do she really think the young voters who overwhemingly supported Obama will forget her tactics? She has damaged the road for any woman that comes behind her. Future women candidate will have to show how un-Hillary they are to gain votes.

i love it when everyone gets all up in arms over Hillary….

in the end the party will be so disorganized, the dems heads will pop off and stand a great chance of losing in Nov.

there is not one reason why hillary should not be on the ticket. not one.
IF YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA, and his stolen from Hillary campaign agenda, why not support the person who gave him all the ideas.

every debate he copied her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you're hateful to her and yet without her, he would never have gotten this far!

Why is Oregon still counting??? Cheating, that's why. I'll bet it ends with huge Obama numbers – nevermind polls that showed the gap narrowing. I don't rule anything out with these Obamabots. That's what happens when you sell the hardcore party down the river for the fanatical left.

Hillary or McCain in 2008. Never Obama. Never ever.

I sure wouldn't want my name connected to the looser obama who broke the back of the Democratic Party and sent the GE to the republicans and McCain.

If the DNC didn't want obama to win so bad and they gave Hillary her votes from Michigan and Florida she would be the one AHEAD. But they are as sexist as everyone else in the party and would mess themselves if a woman was elected president. And SHE WOULD BE, and obama wont.

Those that say Obama is unelectable/cannot beat mc cain .. etc ...

made up their minds months ago that they were going to support mc cain ...... come NOV

I certainly hope so! The last thing Obama needs is Hillary Rodham Clinton trying to monopolize his position as President of the United States! She would go around saying that SHE, in fact, was the PRESIDENT!

She can be the president of Kentucky, they love her. In my book, she is a joke, and doesn't deserve anything. I'm sorry I have to pay taxes to protect her sorry caucus.

The VP position is NOT a safety net.

Hillary supporters –

Enough self-righteousness. Stop accusing Obama supporters of spewing all of the "hate." You folks in Hillary's corner are just as guilty of hatemongering as anyone else.

Truth is that both sides have been harsh, sometimes unfairly. To think that you're side is completely innocent is completely naive.

It's time for us to come together as a party. Enough with this pettiness...

Hillary, it's 3:05 AM, you can go to bed now.

If Hillary is on the ticket, it would defeat the whole point of us
wanting CHANGE.

Who wants all the baggage that she will bring, plus you know
she wont be happy playing second fiddle. Her aggressive and
nasty campaign cannot be forgotten. She does deserve to be
on the ticket, it would be like a reward for her bad behavior.

Obama needs to choose another woman, or another of her
well respected supporters to heal the divide in the party.

Republican here who is actually leaning towards voting for Obama. However, I have to note that its amusing watching the Billary and Obama backers hack away at each other. Especially when they are so similar from a policy perspective. It just goes to show that what we are watching is a cult of personality over policy. Really sad, when you consider the fate of the country is on the line.

The Obama followers comments on here are just doing so much to unite the party.

Write in Hillary Clinton in November. Do not stay home, do not vote for McCain. We can show the DNC what we think of their choice. This thing with Obama reminds me of a free concert I attended. We were all standing in a nice line, and suddenly 4/5 people broke rank and started a stampede. A lot of people were hurt in the process. The stampede of superdelegates before all the votes are in, is like what happened before the gates were open. It is going to hurt the DNC, and the nominee. Let the Obama-bots call us racist. They don't like Hillary , well we don't like Obamas' far left liberal ideas. That does not make us racist Obama wins Oregon, Hillary wins Kentucky, between the two she came away with 150 thousand more votes the him.LMAO

Cnn the obama mouth peice can post this are not. I will say what me and a few other million feel, and that is "IT will be a cold day in hell before we vote for king obama"

Pam, it seems you hate men, as with a lot of Clinton voters... hmmmmmmmmm... That's probably why most of the women standing behind Clinton at her speeches have buzz cuts, and are wearing muscle shirts ...

I would think that if you want to be a man, you may also want to vote for a man... But I guess not..

I guess what I say is probably offensive, but I've been accused of worse... As a matter of fact, I will just say that my comments are not sexist, but just factual... (The same way Clinton supporters say that their comments are not racist, but factual...)

All you Hilary supporters (DEMOCRATS) who say you're going to vote for McCain or stay home..... EXPLAIN THAT LOGIC TO OUR TROUPS AND THEIR FAMILIES! You'd rather vote against your party and allow our troups to continue to die than vote for the person who wants to bring them home simply because he's not your first preference. How SAD and SELFISH is that!!

Mark this down and save it. Obama will not win the general election!

Pam May 21st, 2008 12:27 pm ET

Notice how the majority of the negative comments here are from men. Well, if Obama picks a male VP it will be just more of the same ol' nonsense in the Ol' Boys Club. Sorry. Not interested. Kathleen Sebelius or Claire McCaskill as VP? You must be kidding me. They would both probably apologize first to a another country's leader if they had to raise their voice and stand strong against them for any reason. You've disenfranchised me Obama. The presidency is not an internship dude. I'm pretty sick of the DNC as well. Tell me my vote doesn't count and I'll just give it to the other team. At least they want it.
So all you Hillary haters can just go off to you deserted island somewhere, we don't want you here anyway.
-----------------------------

ARE U KIDDING ME ....... THE MOST CHILDISH/NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE FROM THE FEMALE SUPPORTERS IN HILARY'S CAMP>>>> STOP LYING ..........

WHITE SOUTHENERS = HILLARY (SURPRISE SURPRISE)

OTHER WHITES = HILLARY (SURPRISE SURPRISE)

HILLARY HAS MORE VOTES AND THE LARGE STATES NEEDED IN NOVEMBER!!!!!

SHE DOESN'T NEED HIM, HE NEEDS HER!

NO WAY, GO AWAY OBAMA!!!!!

HILLARY HAD A HUGE WIN AGAIN LAST NIGHT! SHE HAS WON 5 OF THE LAST 7 PRIMARIES!!!!

THANK YOU KENTUCKY!!!!!!!!!! GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!

hope he offers her then she declines then obama will have more chance of winning.

Of course GOP would favor a ticket with both of them on. It would mean the GOP would have more dirt to throw at an Obama-Clinton ticket.

Funny but accurate post....No Hillary

Apparently you are going to have Obama as nominee.
It is not a matter of be nominated
in order to win in November you need the most prepared and qualified, one who is able to win the big States such as Pennsylvania
Ohio, Florida, Michigan e so on. The super delegates should think about this a lot. HILLARY is your candidate.
Look to the last primary and judge who is in better shape.
HILLARY 08 the one that will win in November

»ENOUGH of Imaginary Snipers Attacks!?!...ENOUGH of LIES and LIARS!...ENOUGH of CLINTONS!...Hillary "so ANNOYING" Clinton YOU LOST»GO HOME now and STOP DAMAGING the Democratic Presidential Campaign!...HURRAH for the great OBAMA!...VICTORY!...

obama supporters, stop talking down to the clinton campaign. It's foolish to respond to supporters of clinton with so much arrogance. It's not how obama talks, and it's a bad way to represent the obama campaign, let alone the entire democratic party

clinton supporters, stop acting like clinton is the only democrat in the election. I have no idea what your reasons are to decide he is a bad leader, but you don't want mccain in office. vote obama if he wins. my god it would be a failure to have continued republican policy, be it as bad as GW or not. republican policy must go. Clinton herself has said that many times.

we're all democrats!! it's been an invigorating election but it's time to cut the crap and see who wins and then UNIFY. Instead of bickering within our party we sould be trying to build our vote. 4 more years of republican crap because of personal reasons is wrong!

Finally, it doesn't make sense to declare "Come on CNN (or whatever), give us real news!!" and then start a meaningless back and forth discussion for 300 comments saying "I WON'T VOTE FOR ______." Respond with real issues if you want real news. The media gives you what sells.

come together people!

DEMOCRATIC PARTY '08

I hate to hear that people are suggesting Hillary as a VP.
If she really wants, she should have got out of race by now to start to begin the healing process. People who do not know how to graciously bow out will create a lot of problems. I doubt that Hillary has a comfortable space even in Senate now.
Nobody including media has no right to force Sen. Obama to choose Clinton as VP. Hillary and Bill have a lot of baggages as representatives of special interests for decades, which Sen. Obama chose not use against them in primary, but GOP is willing to dig out.

Just give Obama your vote, and lets end this nightmare quickly!

Hillary GO AWAY!

Obama is limping his way to the nomination while still being blown out in key states. The presumptive nominee is losing by 41 and 36 points, and you want unity? He clearly does not have CORE Democratic support. Get your hankies ready for November!

I see Hillary's supporters are bitter and filled with hatred.They back Hillary,but will not back Obama.What kind of a party is this one?Obama and Hillary share the same values and point of views,and if we as a party do not come together and lean our votes to McCain that will be a disaster for The United States and the world.We need a big change in the White House for 2009!!!Just keep it in mind!!!!OBAMA-HILLARY 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is he still all there? If he knows nothing, he should say nothing, and by him saying Clinton on the ticket wouldn't help Obama ... double scores my first sentence.....He knows nothing!

BARACK WILL WIN ANYWAY, TO ALL YOU BITTER HILLARY LOSERS:

GO VOTE FOR McCAIN, MAYBE HE WILL GIVE YOU HIS HEALTHCARE PLAN.

IDIOTS.

IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN....

OBAMA = CHANGE

CLINTON = OLD SCHOOL POLITICS

OBAMA (OIL) + CLINTON (WATER) = DO NOT MIX!!!

NUFF SAID!!!

Right on Mary-they can get off the kick that only the uneducated support HRC. As my acronym implies: NO HILLARY!~NO VOTE! AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!

If Obama took on Hillary as the vice presidential nominee, my vote would immediately switch over to McCain.

Ron in Texas

If Obama wants a woman VP on his ticket then he should consider Claire McCaskill, Kathleen Sebelius or Janet Napolitan.
They are all successful women in their own right and have REAL experience (Sebelius and Napolitan are both governors).
They've managed state budgets and campaign budgets – unlike Hillary. They got where they are on their own merit – unlike Hillary!

There's no "new direction" for this country if Obama puts another Clinton anywhere near that Oval Office.

Most Americans are smarter than a 5th grader, and we can see right through Hillary. She will never be good for anybody's ticket. Bill used her and now she's trying to use us. It won't work.

dear sb. Obama has not congradulated Hillary on her wins and yes, Hillary has done so for Obama. Don't you watch TV or is it Ok just to make anything up that trashes Hillary. You and your ilk are the ones that have split the party into the old and new. I don't like the new party and am leaving it to people like you. Vote no to the Obama personality cult.

I'm an Obama supporter, if Hillary gets the nomination fair and square I'll vote for her over McSame any day.

Look, Divide & Conquer is right out of the republican play book from the Feds to the Locals; therefore, if you want to play into that game then keep your mouth shut when John McSame wins the general election. Otherwise be happy that the Dems have the upper hand right now, because another 4 years of McSame is going to put a serious dent in all of your pay-checks. You think it's bad now...go ahead an let your ignorant opinions put him in the White House and see what happens.

Don't be surprised if Obama chooses Al Sharpton as his VP. How do you like that?

I'm sorry, but this country will not elect Obama as their President. McCain will ride over Obama, unless Hillary is on the ticket. He might save it with John Edwards, but I doubt it. Obama is a nice guy, a good speaker and would be a great lawyer or car salesman, but he's not laying out any agenda, and he will not be able to run this country.

Thank you President Carter for your service, but please be quite. You are guessing at best and injecting your views in a fashion that isn't constructive. It is time for all of you "SUPER DELEGATES" to shut up and do some serious deliberating. You should also be thinking about how to avoid this train wreck of a Primary process in the future.

I also am a lifelong Democrat and Hillary supporter and believe she is far more qualified to be President than either Sens. Obama or McCain. The only way I will consider casting my vote for Sen. Obama in November is if Hillary is on the ticket AND she has a prominent place in his`administration. Sen. Obama cannot win without the votes of Hillary supporters. Considering how many people voted for`her, she has earned the right to be offered the VP position. It still angers me that so many of the Democratic leaders would consider throwing support behind a freshman senator with such an unimpressive resume! Yes he gives a great speech and he is intelligent but he is inexperienced!! If he cannot handle the small amount of`responsibility he was given with the NATO subcommittee hearings on the`war, how can he`be trusted with the much larger responsibility of being the leader of the free world? What will these backers want from him in exchange for their support? This party has a huge decision to make...if you toss her aside, be prepared to go down in flames in November because you may never be`able to make amends to her`supporters.

Freida NYC, I'll try to explain. It's not sexism. It's nothing against Clinton because she is a woman. The media did nothing to hurt her. It is simply that she has lost the primary, yet she does not step forward to unite the party. I would like to see Sen. Clinton step up to the plate, and say, "I alone am responsible for losing this primary, and I will now throw all my support behind Sen. Obama, the nominee for our party." I don't like to say it, but at this point, do I see NOT a fighter, but maybe vanity or excessive pride turning towards self-destructive tendencies in Sen. Clinton? I think she can rise above all that, but it is she that must do it, herself.

YES RUN INDEPENDENT HILLARY BECAUSE LIEBERMAN HAS WORKED OUT SO GOOD FOR US, I MEAN HE IS WORKING FOR McCAIN, MYBE SHE CAN TOO.

Obama is too smart to choose Clinton. She doesn't bring change; she brings bulldozers and she enabled her husband to shoot an arrow through the heart of America. I'm hoping for an Obama/Richardson ticket.

»»The great Obama already WON the nomination.Hurrah!...Hurrah!...ENOUGH of LIES!...ENOUGH of CLINTONS!... VICTORY!...V...VICTORY!...

Only in these united states could a person run a bad campaign, lose in every catagory, want to change the rules in the process, be dishonest and a divider, mis-manage campaign funds and still be considered for the second highest postion in the country.
WHITE PRIVELEDGE AMAZING!!!!

you call that a waste ticket..Oh my god please dont bring back clintons to white house again....we have so many Interns there

No, not for VP. Janet Napolitano or Joe Biden. Maybe Hillary for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Carter should have kept to selling peanuts.

In spite of HRC supporters saying that they wouldn't vote for Obama. I can't see him asking HRC–and that is wise, I think.

ANd to the issue of HRC supporters claiming they won't vote for Obama, I suspect there are a great many Republicans, who were motivated by Limbaugh's urging to pose as Democrats and support HRC, in an attempt to manipulate the outcome.

How many of you would be HRC supporters posting comments under the guise of a Democrat, I do wonder.

Peace

I voted for Hillary. I think that we ARE going through the General Election of 2000 all over again, except this time it is the "Sexist of White Men" of the Democratic Party and the White New Anchorwomen who are "pmping" for them. If this country continues to overlook the votes of those who voted for Hillary, then the country will continue be divided in this party. My vote will "count" and will not be "dismissed" and if not now – it will count during the General Election. I will campaign as if "Hillary" was running but not for the Democratic Party. I am sick of the sexism of the Democratic Party and toward Hillary . Women should be shamed of themselves for even taking part of it. The day will come when they will look back with regrets.

The fact that Obama called a woman "sweetie" tells me that he is much of a sexist then those who are pushing for him

Well, BIG BOYS – IT IS NOT OVER UNTIL HILLARY SAY IT IT OVER.

If you think that this is only one "voice" well think of this.. "if you see one "ant" most likely there are more of them".

Obama cannot win without Hillary on the ticket.

If Hillary is not offered the VP spot, I will be voting for McCain.

to billary supporters if you like the state of our encomey now and
having to bury our troops now. a vote for mcbush will just make things get better. think with something besires what you sit on.

For 30 years, Jimmy Carter never made sense or offered any good insight on politics or world affairs. It's just blather from a failed former President.

He continues that trend.by saying 1) Hilary would take the VP slot if offered, and 2) Obama won't offer it.

Brilliant! Thank you, Mr. Carter for that substantive analysis of a subject that has been beaten to death for the past 6 weeks, and is so obvious that a blind man could see it. Sheeesh.....

That would be a huge mistake for Obama to pick her. Talk about having to look over your shoulder constantly. The Clintons need to go away for good.............For that matter, so do the Obamas. I just don't see how so many people buy into what he is preachin. "We are gonna stop sending jobs over seas.. Health insurance for everyone, no one will lose their homes, the war will end immediately"bla bla bla Yeah......Right. I would like for once to hear HOW you plan to do this. Get a clue people.

Obama- Clinton wouldn't be a bad idea .... as long as Bill stays away from the White House ... he will boss Obama around .........

Obama/Hilary ............. once Bill stays away from the W.H ........

This is nonsense. Obama can never win the president bid in November. Hillary is much stronger candidate. See how Obama use money to buy the nomination?

Why would any one put their former competition in the second seat? There are many other capable and more supportive Dems out there.
Go Obama!!!

SINDI39

"ANOTHER WAY WATH YOU ARE SAYING IF THAT IF HILLARY DOSEN'T GET THE NOMINATION YOU WILL VOTE FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS IN IRAK AND IRAN .
ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE NEED TO REED MORE AND GET MORE INFORMATION AND BE RATIONABLE .
THIS IS PURE IGNORANCE."

Very well said!

Clinton haters, don't count your chickens before they hatch because when Bill left in 2001, he left the presidency a very comfortable one including a huge $250 Billion surplus, I think Hillary can do just fine as VP if Obama agrees to run with her for the Dem's ticket.

How I wish Obama will read this. OBAMA never make the mistake to take Clinton as VP, she will set you up. You will have both Bill and Hillary as the VP. The God that has been on your side will bring angels to vote for you. Mark my word. This is about God changing the system not even you (Obama). You will surely win but, NEVER TAKE HILLARY AS VP. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.

It doesn't make any since to put Hillary on the ticket. She is a complete contradiction to everything he stands for, and she won't help him win. 70% of Hillary's supporters are going to vote for Barack anyway, and the other 30% are racist who will not vote for him even if Hill's on the ticket also.

»Aaaaah!...Well said good old President Jimmy Carter!...Aaaah!...Goodbye Hillary "So Fake!" Clinton = GO HOME now!..Obama!...Obama!...VICTORY!...HURRAH!...I knew it.

IF HILLARY CAMPAIGNS (FOR HIM)
SHE WILL PROUBLY BE SAYING WRITE ME IN AS PRE.
HE JUST NEEDS TO GET FREE OF HER ALL TOGETHER. IF HALF HER SUPPORTERS DON'T WANT TO VOTE FOR HIM
HE WILL STILL HAVE HALF HERS, ALL OF HIS, ONE FOURTH MCSAINS
HE WINS

Too much baggage.

It is so sad that Obama supporters believe that because Hillary and he have the same philosphy that we Hillary supporters should just give up on her and join him since he is in the lead. Please show me what he has done that makes his rhetoric meaningful.
Sorry to say, Barak has no track record to show he can institute these ideals. Hillary does. And in my world, results matter at the end of the day, not the dream of results I had last night.

What are you waiting for Jimmy? Stop playing and endorse Obama! We only need 64 more delegates to clinch the nomination.

PAM and all women who are making this a seixist issue – the issue at heand is therre is an Ol' Boys Club scenerio at play BUT just because Hillary is running and palying the gender card does not mean she is the right candiate. She is a polarizing figure and people actually hate her – now the consus I get from soem of her supporters is that even tho they are disapionted witht he results they will vote democratic irreguardless. Why rish a McCrack presidency which involves more war and disaray just to prove a piont ...common – this is creating damage for who which ever woman will run again in history – hopefull they will take a page out of Obama's book inwich yoiu have a nutral platform that any one can relate to – as a minority , woman, black , white , asian whatever....

I am devastated by the reverse racism on this blog lately. You are finaly showing your true colors Obama supporters. Do you hear yourselves? You say you don't need the Hillary supporters, so many of you are voting for Sen. Obama for change, correct? He is inspirational, I am afraid the only inspiration I see from the Sen. Obama supporters is the inspiration you have received from Rev. Wright. I am horrified by your antics. You say Hillary is a liar, a cheat, Billary, Hi"liar"y. I would vote for a liar over over a racist movitator any day. This primary, I have heard Sen. Obama supporters loud and clear...YOU HATE WOMEN, POOR PEOPLE, UNEDUCATED WHITE FOLKS. You have made your point and you are the representative of your candidate. I don't recall reading anything by Sen. Clinton supporters bashing "african-americans", "Black Americans", "Educated white folks". No...I see Sen. Clinton supporters question the experience of Sen. Obama and we are the "uneducated". Lots of folks can be educated and smart, but it is proven most Highly intelligent folks have no common sense....

Stop the MADNESS and vote for the candidate that wants to help us pay our mortgages, afford college and health care. If you vote for Sen. Obama in November "08", you will destroy any chance of a Democratic President, as he CANNOT beat McSame in the general election. PLEASE think long and hard, investigate his Senate votes and compare them to Sen. Clintons. He is for Change, he is just not sure where to change and what to change. He needs more experience. Now stop this racism race and vote for the person with the ability to do what is best for us Americans.

Jimmy (SENILE!!) Carter should stick with something he knows about – giving away the Panama Canal.

Thank you Mr. President Carter for your comments. But it is interesting to me: Previously, look how Billary Changed over time:

1) First Position: Obama is not ready to be Commander and Chief
2) Second Position: Even McCain is a better Commander and Chief
3) Third Position: I am willing to accept Obama as my VP. He can be a VP if he works under my gudeline
4) Fouth Position: I am willing to be Barak's VP
5) Fifth Position: I will be honored to be Barak's VP
6) Sixth Position: Please please please take me as ur VP and forgive me Sir

Obama CAN win without Hillary on the ticket if her supporters will drop their emotions long enough to do the right thing and vote for him, rather than registering a protest vote for McCain.

Personally, I think he can win anyway - but it would be nice to see all this anger and hatred go away.

Thank God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Even with Hillary on the ticket I wouldn't vote for him!

Frieda, I think all the Hillary-hate is a result of so many Hillary Supporters saying they will vote for McCain over Obama, which makes absolutely no logical sense.

Therefore we (Obama supporters) have to question their motivation for not wanting Obama in office. If it is prejudice, then ofcourse you cannot expect us to want their vote.

There is no room in this election for racism.

I hope African Americans and Young people have enough votes to carry us to the White House, If not McCain can save the day.

Bill Richardson, Claire McKaskill, NO MORE CLINTONS. Please let the Clintons go away.

By any objective measure, he was the worst President in the US over the last 80 years. And history hasn't improved this perception. Go build another house and stop trying to screw up the country.

Carter is right. He needs a V.P. who can balance the ticket– either a Webb (military credentials) or Rendell (rust-belt state). It's got nothing to do with whether you like or dislike Clinton.

I am a democrat, but I also am an American first. And I can't believe that any American would chose four more years of this country being run into the ground to benefit corporate interests just because their favorite lost the nomination.

Is it possible that we democrats are going to screw this election up because of pride, childishness, ignorance? Both sides need to grow up and unite against the GOP. I don't know about you but I'm not willing to watch our country go down the tubes a moment longer.

People who claim that Obama has less experience than HRC: ignorant

He has been an elected official longer than HRC.

Jimmy Carter needs to shut his mouth, I was a child and remember his sad presidency. His lack of accomplishment during his presidency began this entire Reagan/Bush era. I do not respect anything he has to say.

I favor a Dem win, and think that is best-served by Obama without Clinton.

To Xango4 – The fact Obama is African American has nothing to do with why I would not vote for Obama. It has to do with the inexperience of Obama and the tone of the Obama folks toward the Hillary supporters. Obama is going to have a HARD time winning NY without the Jewish vote and a hardtime winning without the "hillbilly" vote. Obama NEEDS Hillary if he is going to win. I think they would make a GREAT TEAM and one I would vote for. I would feel comfortable with that ticket but not without Hillary. I guess time will tell... All you Obama supporters who say they do not need 1/2 of the democrat party to win... you will see he will never make it to the White House without us Hillary supporters! GO HILLARY – WE ARE WITH YOU AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!!!

Pres. Carter should endorse now. There is no reason for him to remain silent. This goes for all the super delegates. You are letting Hillary Clinton destroy this party.

Here – Bank on this:

Neither Hillary nor Obama will be the Dem candidate. The establishment does not want Hillary as she has stepped on too many toes. Obama is too raw and inexperienced to cut it. Their point is to give these two unelectable candidates enough ammo to wear one another down and enough rope to hang themselves. They are also giving the Dem party a lot of media exposure with their antics.
At the convention there will be a deadlock and the real ticket will be Edwards-Richardson. Why do you think they both dropped out so early?

McCain: The only candidate who can bake the cake and not leave the cat out in the rain again.

I think Obama better think long and hard about NOT offering Hillary the VP. I wonder who millions of women will vote for if she's not offered the job. I would think it would be the ULTIMATE insult to offer this position to a man and not to the candidate whose momentum is peaking and beating him in key states.

sorry to disagree but Bush is by a long shot the worst president in American history By FAR
Jimmy Carter should be respected and held in honor for the all the
PEACE he has strived for in the world and still continues to strive for
Sorry I would take a president who advocates for peace(Who also has anobel peace prize to prove it) any day over one whose first instinct is to drop bombs on his fellowman
God Bless you president Carter for all the good you have strived for
There are some people who admire and respect your endeavours
and opinions sir

Offering her a VP spot will go against all Obama has been preaching--same ol' Washington politics! A new face will be more appropriate even if he or she is a Clinton supporter.

Freida NYC – Hillary and Bill as well as her supporters change the tone of this campaign!!!!! Please make no mistake we will stand up/behind Senator Obama until the end.....Now you guys are more then free to join this Obama train!!!!

Unite Obama 08/12!

It's over now,you can be on anybody ticket i will suggest MCcain

If Hillary Clinton is being urged to reject voters whom have based their votes on race then why isn't Obama being asked to reject african american voters whom are obviously voting based on race. This is the worst double standard the media has ever undertaken. Hypocritical is what that is.

I just don't see this happening and I prefer not to see it happen. I like both candidates but personally they don't mesh well together. No matter who wins the nomination I will be supporting a democrat this fall.

I agree, Hillary is much to strong to be that weaklings VP. Everyone would look to her for answers and he would indeed be a Lame Duck President.. Where he will find anybody weaker then himself is beyond me. He may have won the battle, but he will not win the war. He won Oregon, but between the two she received 150 thousand more votes. Write Hillary Clinton on your ballot in November, we can do it, yes we can. The general election is nothing like the primary, Thank God...

Oh God help us! I hope that she does not put him on the ticket. You obo fans are so DUMB! GET OVER IT obo FANS>

Well, I received my survey from the DNC, and the last page was send money so that the Democratic candidate can win. I typed out a nice letter last night, and said that due to the treatment of one said candidate, along with the media bias and alienation of my choice in nominee, that I will not be completing, nor donating money to the DNC.

I guess the only way for them to see they did Hillary wrong is to hit them in the pocketbooks. It is so funny that all the people that are those Obamanites are now trying to extend an olive branch after all the mud slinging and alienating they have done. Why? They need us in the general. Well, I have lived 8 years of hell, and what is 4 more.

Mudslinging and attacks? Good for you Hillary!

HILLARY in 2012!!! GO HILLARY~!!!!!!

I agree with Carter. A couple of months ago I would have have yes. But now she is causing a lot controversy. She's about herself. And she uses the race card, the gender card so much until she has made herself an unlikely VP. She's very arrogant and cruel. And does not want to unite the party. Obama is always congratulate her for her wins. But, she never congratulates Obama. She is full of self ambition and pride. Not trying to bring her supporters into unity with Barack's. How can the media expect for Barack to bring Hillary's supporters to him when she is constantly fighting against him.?

Frieda From NY,

We are weary, and frustrated. That's why there is so much hate. You have a candidate who would rather support McCain than Obama. How do you think that makes us feel? We're supposed to be a family and Hillary has consistantly trashed Barack.

Hillary Clinton should be the Presidential nominee of the Democratic party because she's the most qualified and most electable person for the job.

Obama is unqualified and unelectable. The Dems would be foolish to nominate him.

No "unity" ticket. Obama's not qualified to be on the ticket at all. For me, it's Hillary or McCain. Country first, party second.

Maybe all of the so called working whites and HRC can go live on an island somewhere. You can really have a gas holiday then.

Lets pretend Hillary has the lead and Obama would not put an end to this situation. He would just keep on going. What would you Hillary supporters be saying? I just want to know. Could he cry it is because of race(she cries it is because of gender) Could he move the goal post over and over(she does all the time) She could not win either without the support of Obama supporters, SO what is the point of all these mean comments.

Carter and Obama - two peas in a pod. And Carter's disastrous 4-year term is exactly what we can expect from Obama. People thought Carter was too inexperienced for the job. We've not seen anything yet!

This Hillary supporter and lifelong Democrat will be voting for McCain in the fall - in fact, I'm seriously considering campaigning for him as a "Democrat for McCain" at this point. The Obama supporters' vile and hate-filled rhetoric has me beyond fed up.

The bacis characteristic of a VP is for them to be trustworthy, loyal and honest . Hillary lacks all three, plus he doesn't need the scandal that's gonna come with the court case that's coming up for Hillary.

Hello American People!

Well, after Pennsylvanya, West Virginia, and Kentucky the electability of Obama seems some dark...

Anyway, Obama can bring change to Washington. That is why Obama is beening supported by John Kerry, Tom Dushle, Kennedy, Richardson, Todd, McGovern, Edwards, the 92-year-old Senator whose name I do not remember, and other members of the old establishment.

So go Obama with the change in Washington...!

This talk about change is such a misnomer...

So many of U talk about he cannot pick her becaue she is the past he is trying to get away from.....the "Washingtont" types he is running against...

Then who is Sam Nunn, if not a Washington type...So is John Edwards...so are so many of the other so-called better choices that pundits on TV have suggested....

Is everyone so fooolish as to think that experience is not necessary in any capacity??

All of U who follow Obama should remember that in one of the early debates much was made of the fact that Obama had many of the same folk who helped manage Bll Clinton's run for office....so he needs their experience for that??

Why not let Obama choose a complete field of nobodies for his cabinet or VP or whatever...people who we have never heard of.....would you all be up for that?????

This argument against experience is really stupid.

Xango 4, Who are these dingbats polling???? LOL

Where are you from??

How many foreigner are posting on here???

I think there are many!!

Maybe CNN could investagate where the IP are from??

If anyone would let the postings on this board affect your vote, you need to grow up.

For all you Hillary supporters who think you might vote for McCain. First of all I am glad you are coming to reality and know Obama is the nom. I would like you to understand a couple things. Obama has won this fair and square. He is not at fault in Fla and Mich. Take a good neutral look at him and give him a chance. A lot of things are said during a campaign because the goal is to win. Do not take what Hil said in the heat of the fight and hold it as truth. Give the guy a real chance and i think you will find he is exactly what you need. Some key things to think about. 1. Your Kids. Talking to an enemy rarely results in a war where young soldiers die but go in with fighting as your first option and you can guess what will happen. If you dont see a mandatory draft coming under McCain you better think again. 2. Your Kids. This is gonna shock you i am sure. Our environment is going bad in a hurry and many scientific experts are predicting that without serious wide sweeping change we may make the earth uninhabitable in 30-40 years. I know that seems fast but it is completly reasonable. Becasue of our energy policy we may be very soon causing the human species to go extinct. That is a big pill to swallow but it the data is out there and it is frightening. If we do not move away from carbon fuels (oil) rapidly we are going to be in serious trouble. Despite what McCain is saying now he is beholding to the same people that Bush was. 3. This is going to seem insignificant after the last one but in case you are not sure about that think about the supreme court nominees. I expect 3 judges to need replacing and McCain has said he would choose young conservative judges who would look to overturn the Abortion rights law. You can imagine that they would vote along those conservative lines on everything and they would hold a huge majority on the court for decades. There are so many more huge issues but this is getting long. Do your homework and use your own brains and i am sure you will make a good decision.

Freida, NYC

You can keep that 3rd grade reverse psycology in NYC. She's been a senator there for seven years, do you have universal health care in NYC yet?

Mike Huckabee says he would be honored to be John McCain's running mate. Jeremiah Wright has made reference to being on Barack Obama's ticket. I say we give it to those who really want it.

McCain/Huckabee '08
Obama/Wright '08

Carter cannot see the benefit to the ticket?

Hello! Clinton can carry a lot of electoral votes. In fact, according to Karl Rove's analysis, Hillary can beat both McCain and Obama.

I can see why the Republicans want to run against Obama.
They know they can beat him.

He is correct. There's just too much bad blood here.

Roland Martin is the biggest Obama supporter on CNN. Obama's polocies aren't his own polocies. He is just taking Hillary's polocies, making a few changes and calling them his own. Hillary has had her universal healthcare plan a long time ago during Bill Clinton's presidency. Issue #1 is racism and sexism in this campaign.

Hillary or McCain

No Phony

Chuck Hagel would be a very wise choice. K Sibelliuus (sp?) of Kansas would also good one.

Wisdom from the worst president of the 20th century.

Thanks for those 16% mortgages!

I don't think he would even offer it to her and I don't think she would accept it. Like Bernstein said she has her own momentum going and if they don't vote him in Nov. he is doomed leaving her with another try in 2012. If he loses in Nov. he is all done. I wouldn't want her to be on that losing ticket like Edwards was with Kerry. She is better off going back to the Senate.

Listen to him folks ; he is super old and KNOWS what heis talking about.

Florence

Notice how the majority of the negative comments here are from men. Well, if Obama picks a male VP it will be just more of the same ol' nonsense in the Ol' Boys Club. Sorry. Not interested. Kathleen Sebelius or Claire McCaskill as VP? You must be kidding me. They would both probably apologize first to a another country's leader if they had to raise their voice and stand strong against them for any reason. You've disenfranchised me Obama. The presidency is not an internship dude. I'm pretty sick of the DNC as well. Tell me my vote doesn't count and I'll just give it to the other team. At least they want it.
So all you Hillary haters can just go off to you deserted island somewhere, we don't want you here anyway.

ted from edmonton YOU NEED TO STAY WHERE YOU ARE . Obama can hold his own. and will be in the WH on 01/09 . For those that are Obama haters remember you are voting to put him in office not the supporters. OBAMA–08-12

Obama supporters obviously do not hate Hillary. The exit polls show that.

Clinton supporters, reality check. If you feel Obama is not going to advance women's causes and issues, there you go feeling again and not thinking. Obama's policies will be good for women. Republicans know that. That's why they are making comments here to divide us. Think this time, ladies. We can take back our country.

Obama/Hagel 08 !

Obama and Hillary are like oil and water, they just don't mix. Obama has a message of change and Hillary represents "old" politics. Hillary has used divisive strategies to get a vote and she hit Obama below the belt. Obama doesn't need anyone for VP who might be after his job. If Obama would take Hillary, he would have to take Bill too. Obama doesn't deserve that. He can do better.

Go Obama – Yes We Can!!!

When former Pres. Carter is not privy to VP deliberations, and is not in contact with either campaign about the issue, I don't think he should give his opinion. Neither candidate asked him to speak for them about whether they would offer or accept the vice presidency.

IF REV. WRIGHT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO ENDURE. THE CLINTONS HAVE BAGGAGE THAT IS PALE IN COMPARISON TO REV. WRIGHT.
THE FIRST 527 WOULD BE THE BLUE DRESS. BESIDES, "CHANGE" IS NOT TURNING THE PAGE BACK. IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE REAL CHANGE IT MEANS A TOTAL BREAK FROM 20TH CENTURY POLITICS. WE KEEP SAYING THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD KNOW THAT THE CLINTONS ARE LAIRS. TO PUT HRC A BREATH AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENCY WOULD BE AN INSULT TO THE MINDSET OF "CHANGE". WE REMEMBER HRC WORDS AGAINST HOPE AND CHANGE. FURTHERMORE, WHAT SHE BRINGS TO THE TABLE IS A MINDSET OF FOLLOWERS THAT BELEIVE THAT LYING, GENDER AND RACE BAITING IS ALRIGHT TO GET THEIR WAY.

The Clintons are too hungry to grap power for themselves and Obama would be just too foolish to let the Clinton brand name to consume him!

Besides, if Clinton is on his VP ticket, voters would turn away from him!

I wish it were the middle of November and all this stuff would be over. Just think, we have a whole summer to listen to the attacks, the ads and the politicians who think they know it all. Call me "Tired of it all".

I do not want the queen on our ticket. All of the nasty things she said about Obama will now be used by the repugs thanks to her. I will sit this one out if the queen is anywhere that ticket. IT IS NOT HER RIGHT TO BE BACK IN THE WH because she had sexual relations with a president.....

Hillary did not earn the right to be on his ticket. If Obama had behaved the way HRC has behaved through-out this election process, would you want him on the ticket. If Obama is the nominee he has the right to choose who he wants on his ticket like the canidates before him.

People seem to forget that HIllary's garnered almost as many votes as Obama. When half the people have voted for one candidate and half the other, it doesn't take a rocket science or a superdelegate to figure out that the strongest ticket would be to combine the two. They each have appeal to different groups within the party. And, what better way to bring about unity? If Obama can't begin to unite the party with such an obvious selection, then what hope does he have for unifying the country?

Run Independent Hillary!

Hillary would be a bad choice!! She feed on the hate and racism of others for her own personal benefit. This is typical of the present administration, which we are trying to leave behind us.

I really, really ADMIRE Sen. Clinton for her COURAGE, STEADFASTNESS, ENDURANCE, TENACITY for her standing strong in the midst of so much adversity. HILLARY, I commend you for all that you've done as a WOMAN, even when the odds were against you, you still were able to STAND and FIGHT until the end. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR NOT GIVING UP, WHEN EVERYBODY WAS TELLING YOU TO STEP DOWN, THIS PROVES TO ME THAT YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON, YOU ARE NOT SWAYED BY OTHERS. YOU HAVE EXEMPLIFIED TO ME, MAYBE NOT TO OTHERS, I'M SPEAKING FROM HEART, THAT YOU WOULD MAKE A MAGNIFICANCE PRESIDENT. YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME A LESSON AND THAT IS TO FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT. To me you are "A WINNER". Now with that being said, I believe you are OVER QUALIFIED for the position as VP. Even IF it was a possibility – you are above that position.

He also said that Hillary would be the best choice as the V.P. because it would help Obama with his greatest weakness, which was his lack of experience. You forgot to include that, or did you omit it on purpose?

Lets be fair. If you're going to report on what he said report everything.

I bet Ted Kennedy's neurologist has more than two years of experience. DEMOCRATS FOR MCCAIN

Great decision on Obama's part if Carter is correct. I will then have absolutely no qualms about not voting for the democratic ticket in the General Election. I'm looking forward to finally putting this primary to rest when Obama gets the nomination and chooses his running mate.

John McCain should get going and choose his VP too. That way we can all firm up our choices and get off these blogs for awhile.

John McCain and ??? in 08

He would be crazy to ask Hillary and Bill to be the Vice President. Just crazy. Of course he won't ask her, he can't ask her because his supporters are running away from people like her. His whole campaign has been fighting against insiders like Hillary. So this is a silly subject.

Hopefully Hillary will crawl back under a rock and leave us alone.

Whatever. I'll be voting for McCain.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK...BECAUSE OBAMA IS AN ARROGANT...SOB!!

Doesn't matter if Obama asked the Pope.....he will never make it to the White House.

WRITE IN HILLARY or VOTE FOR McCAIN!!!

Stop judging people by their College Degrees. The College Graduate in the past ten years does not know what a noun, adverb or adjective is nor do they have knowlege of history. They have grade school (Some can't read or write either)knowlege compared to our older people (with some exceptions).
The older people are more intelligent who did not graducate college. WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE OUR LEADERS FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS ARE SO DUMB? Looks good for our future does it not.
John C

Are you smarter than a Floridian?

This is the mess she created. By using divisive politics to get her to this point (running a distant second), she's brainwashed many to believe its either voting for her or voting Republican? Really?

I'm an independent, so I don't have a bias one way or the other. But in these late hours, she's showing that she's not only stubborn, but miscalculating.

I know that makes her very "presidential" given the recent track record of this seemingly never-ending Bush/Clinton/Bush nonsense we've been through for the last 20 years.

These two families have been permanent fixtures in politics for far too long now. Nobody should hold this power for too long, nor should two families ping-pong control back and forth between each other.

Time for both of them to leave and stay away for as long as we've had to put up with them...

I believe that this primary has caused a derisive split in the party. The lack of unity this close to the election does not bode well.

SlimSista

I think it means that she feels that Obama hates America. She is a dem who will not support a candidate that hates her or America .Obama supporters hate Hillary supporters, just read above and you will see that is true.

Allot of Hillary supporters think he has views along the same lines as Wright.

I think that "AtlantaDan" give averry irrational conclusion.
HOW IT IS POSSIBLE THA IF YOU DON"T VOTE FOR HILLARY YOU WOULD VOTE FOR MCCAIN , THAT IS AVERRY CHILEHOOD BEHAVIOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU RUIN THE COUNTRY.
YOU ARE NOT FOCUSING IN THE REAL ISSUES THAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS SO PEOPLE LIKE YOU IAM SURE VOTE FOR BUSH BEFORE AND LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW.
ANOTHER WAY WATH YOU ARE SAYING IF THAT IF HILLARY DOSEN'T GET THE NOMINATION YOU WILL VOTE FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS IN IRAK AND IRAN .
ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE NEED TO REED MORE AND GET MORE INFORMATION AND BE RATIONABLE .
THIS IS PURE IGNORANCE.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OBAMAAAAAA08 ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!

Well if Carter is saying it then we know its bogus. Why doesn't he just go away?

I agree! No Hillary for VP. She does not represent his message of change as she is old washington. Her lies and how her husbands presidency also comes into play. Whoever is VP will effect my vote as I want someone who has similar values and morals as Obama due to the VP is just a heartbeat away from the presidency. Hillary is NOT what I want to instil in my children and grandchildren as they are our future and will be our future leaders and that is what I am voting for.

Obama 08/09

It’s my personal opinion that Hillary shouldn’t be on the ticket as Vice President, nor should she want to be. She has as much of an ego as any man and won’t be happy. The VP job is not one of great power … it doesn’t suit her skills or ambition.

The benefit Hillary & Bill would bring to Mr.Obama can be brought in alternate ways, including the Clinton family getting on a bus and crisscrossing the rural portions of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Western Virginia AND West Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia and Florida for 4 months “Stumping” for the ticket.

This avoids any negatives she has –even her most ardent supporters, if they are honest with themselves - will admit that she would bring additional baggage.

We should root for Mrs. Clinton to be the new Poverty Czar where she can have a real impact.

To guarantee the Democratic alternative is a winner, Mr. Obama needs to pick someone of his even keeled temperament, with more gray hair than he has (he does have some) … that puts a geographic stronghold in the Democratic column. A more recent veteran would be nice to contrast the POW phase of McCain’s life of 35 years ago.

I like General Wesley Clark. A recently retired general trumps a POW from 2 wars ago. Former Secretary of the Navy (Senator Webb of VA) is another good choice. They would pull Southern men away from McCain.

That combined with the Hillary & Bill Appalacian bus tour ... to udo the "kitchen sink strategy" ... would give Team Obama a landslide victory in November of 2008.

In regards to a joint Clinton/Obama ticket, as a Clinton supporter, I would not want to see Clinton as VP with Obama. Better that she return to the Senate and become Senate Majority Leader. I would vote for McCain who is a moderate Republican and then vote for Democrats in the Senate and House. With a Dem majority in Congress McCain would be forced to end the Iraq War and we would have a terrific Senate Majority Leader in Clinton!!

I don't think that Hillary is thinking about her political future at all. There are many of us who will remember how she ran this campaign, the next time she runs again. If you don't feel you can't vote for Obama, by all means don't. Many of us feel the same way about Hillary and will not vote for her under any circumstances, now or ever again. The red-neck vote is not enough to win any nationwide contest.

An Obama-Clinton or a Clinton-Obama ticket would be the best solution for keeping everybody on the democratic side.

It's plain dumb to vote for Mc Cain if your candidate, Clinton or Obama, is not the nominee.

I'm pro Obama, but if Clinton become the nominee, than I will support Clinton. Why? Simple, because she's just a democrat like me and her visions are not far at all from those of Obama.

Hillary Clinton is much too headstrong to be a loyal vice president. Every time she didn't get her way she would make accusations of sex discrimination. Moreover, hardly anyone trusts her or believes a word she says. Even her own supporters don't trust her; they just want a woman president. Best approach to dealing with Hillary Clinton can be simplified to one word: NO.

All I read here is the rhetoric of division, which in fact exist quietly and in many instances openly. It is my believe, from listening to her campaign, that she and her husband have pulled the race divide in their favor 'cause there are still a great score of white supremacist outhere in the southern states. And clearly the race door ( dormant, if you will) has been spread open by Bill against Barack Obama, however he has been able to smother it down somewhat, due to the existing will to override this old sentiment that still lags on to those no willing to have consiliatory conversations on the subject. I think those do not want to be reminded of their aberrational actions toward the Black Americans, mind you, not, I repeat, not African-Americans. They may well be descendents of different regions of Africa, but those natural born in the USA, are and should want to be reffered to as Black Americans, instead. So finally, Race and Gender are and have been a factor brought by the hairs to this contest. However I believe that good civil reasoning will prevail in the end. I am an Obama, supporter, he has the touch to bring American together as one Nation, not two. Go Obama, 2008.

haha i can't believe the people who wont vote for obama, i mean come on your bitter because your canadiate is going to lose, and should have already been out of the race, your not a true demo if that's the case, oh and btw i went to the obama rally last night in des moines and we were FIRED UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

It will happen.

She has made her case.

OBAMA WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HILLARY WILL BE ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT AS A DEMOCRAT OR AN INDEPENDENT, MEANING SHE OR MCCAIN WILL WIN.

It would be quite dumb for Hillary supporters to vote for McCain just so Obama would lose. Why not just do the right thing and vote Democratic...period. Hillary is losing fair and square, but she is a poor loser. Obama has done nothing to personally inflict harm upon Hillary. Do the Hillary supporters think that just because Hillary is a female, then everyone else should just bow out and let her "have" the nomination?

Do you really want Bill back in the White House? Have you forgotten how much fun he had the last time? How he lied, which allowed the Republicans to impeach him? How Hillary thought it was a vast, right wing conspiracy. If Hillary doesn't know what's going on in her own household, right under her nose, then I could not trust her to be conscious of, or intuitive about anything else! She is still in denial and is not worthy of being a president or vice president. Maybe she SHOULD stay home and just bake cookies.

The US needs to start fresh. We don't need the Clinton's, Monica or the McBushes. in the Whitehouse. We have had 28 years of the Bushes and Clinton's. That is enough. What did they do about our energy problems – NOTHING. They are all responsible for the war in Iraq. Hillary and McBush voted for it. The people are ready for a change and someone to turn the country around. i'm a 60 yr old Republican w/women voting for Barack Obama and proud of it. YES WE CAN when we unite together.

I think Senator Jim Web of Virginia would make a great VP. Why aren't more people talking about him as a likely nominee

The majority of the folks saying that they will vote for McCain if Obama wins the nomination are Republicans pretending to be Democrat. The GOP has been trying to influence the Democrat's process from the start. They know they cannot defeat Obama. There is no such thing as a Democrat who will vote Republican simply because their preferred candidate didn't win the nomination. There are a few – the so called yellow dog Democrats – who won't vote for either Clinton or Obama. There numbers are much fewer than the moderate and liberal Republicans who are crossing-over to vote Democrat this year.

I just have to say, reading these comments that I really really have to take a deep breath and remind myself that I am voting for Obama not his supporters. They call Hillary vile and nasty and terrible things. So much hate, blatant misogyny and disrespect. So uncouth and common their words! My God. I cannot believe what low level they bring themselves to. They should be ashamed very ashamed. They do not sound anything like Obama. Nothing like him at all. They hit at her and her supporters while crying 'ouch'.??? I have been a neutral bystander observing for several month, though leaning toward Obama much of this time and I have to say, undeniably that the hate and vicious words have the majority of the time come from the Obama camp. I can only hope that they are rightwing trolls causing division. I can only hope. Either way be ashamed if you are doing such things. It is wrong.

It wouldn't be a good idea. She runs completely contrary to his message of changing the way politics is done in Washington. From a practical standpoint, I don't know that she helps him much. She is well liked in Democratic circles (although not universally), but she isn't particularly liked by independents or moderate Republicans. He is a change candidate and she represents the status quo in some of the worst respects. Her husband's business dealings/presidential pardons/library and foundation donations and questions that would surface from these would potentially drag the ticket down.

To all of those Hillary supporters, who say so adamantly, that they will
vote Republican if she is not on the ticket! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease
take your ball and go hooooooooooooome!

Jimmy Carter is absolutely correct, in hinting that there she will not be on Barack's ticket. The only thing that Hillary will bring to Barack's team is sabotage, sabotage, and more sabotaaaaaaaage!!!!!!!!!

Barack is to smart to even entertain that thought! (thank heaven)

Obama needs someone experienced to keep him in line and keep an eye on him. Obama/Clinton would be the only Obama ticket that I would vote for.

HC may be a woman, but she is certainly no lady! I think she's still going after Obama because she knows she's damaged herself beyond repair. The next time she tries to run her opponent will bring up how she has pandered to racists and tried to split the party along race/gender lines. She'll never win the democratic nomination. Sorry, but it's true. I think there are women who are ladies out there who can ceratinly lead this country. HC is just not one of them. She's a girl doing a very, very poor job of trying to play a "boy's game" when what she should have been doing is re-defining the game. That's what Barack has done. And, that's why he's won the nomination. HC just spent all of her "political capital" on a losing battle. It wasn't even the "good fight". Just a fight. I hope you learn from your mistakes, drop out before it's too late for you and the party, and support Obama!!

Stop calling people AFrican Americans, or Asian Americans; as Teddy Roosevelt said "if you must call yourself somthing else besides an American, youi are not an American".
I add to that if you want to be called African, then move to Africa.

I BELIVE THE NEWS MEDIA IS WORKING HARD TO GET OBAMBA ELECTED. THEY HAVE PUSHED HILLARY ASIDE AND HELPING OBAMBA

If Obama doesn't select her, I know many, many Clinton supporters will go for McCain. That's just the way it is!

Hey Carrie,

They're all going to laugh at you!

By the way, the turm you were looking for is that you are looked at as a Hill Billy.

So vote against Obama, because you have the right to vote for who you want, even if it is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I am an Obama supporter, but I would have voted for her in the general election, not because she is a woman, or she is white, but how she stands on the issues I care about most....economy, war, not being McCain. I will vote for Obama because of where he stands on these issues.

So Carrie, grow up. It's not too late!

I hope Hillary doesn't accept a VP nomination. She's too talented & smart to spend her time kissing up to the Obama crowd. She can become a powerhouse in the Senate. The Democratic party needs a stong centrist to counter all the extreme liberality that will be prominent in an Obama administration. The country needs her steady hand. I won't vote for Obama because his arrogance & inexperience reminds me of Bush when he first hit Washington. But, of course, CNN will be sure to gloss over anything thing Obama does or doesn't do.

No way. Go keep an eye on Bill, that's what she can do. No Clintons.

I think Obama is more than capable of choosing his own VP candidate. Hillary should not even be considered after the negative campaign she ran, and the fact that she cannot be trusted by the American people.
There are many other great choices, such as:
John Edwards, Joe Biden or Bill Richardson. (I personally like Joe Biden best).

Democrats have a weak process to select their nominee. Caucuses are ridiculous. Allocating delegates is ridiculous.

You Obamaniacs need to follow your leader like the good sheep you are and stop bashing Hillary. It is very ignorant and arrogant to bash her and her supporters and think you can win in November without them. Morons.

AtlantaDan I don't see Obama asking Clinton to be VP because that would hurt his image. Yes, the 2 of them are similar on issues but he's preaching change and a break from the same ol' washington politics and Hillary would be like more years with Bill (who I think did a pretty good job as president I will add).

I'm an Obama supporter and, like you, this is the first time i've ever financially supported a candidate as well. And while I don't dislike Clinton, I strongly feel we need a change from what we've had and we need to unite as a country. I feel Obama is our best chance at doing that and I hope you take a look at everything he stands for before you decide to cast a vote in spite in November.

The Democrats had 2 very strong candidates running and unfortunately one has to lose. Don't vote for 4 more years of this horrendous war and 4 more years of incompetent social policies here just because the strong candidate you hoped for didn't make it. I'm sure if you look at the issues and hear what the candidates are all about you will come to the conclusion that Obama is, far and away, the superior candidate to McCain.

As an Obama supporter I very much value the votes of Clinton supporters and hope we can all unite after this primary to take back this country from the uber-conservative religious right and get back to what this country is all about. Freedom.

I believe what Carrie means is that it is more honorable to vote in the interests of one's country rather than merely follow the dictates of one's political party. Even in the face of criticism. Perhaps especially in the face of criticism.

Americans for McCain '08

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Ok, it's been a while since I posted something….but can someone really explain to me all this experience Hillary has. And don't give me that First Lady Bull. Fact, Hillary and Barak have both been in the senate the same time. Fact, Barak has served in public office as an elected official longer than Hillary when you take his time in The Illinois congress into consideration. SO, those that say Hillary has experience…please lay it on the table and don't tell me she was that influential as a Fisrt Lady. As we say in Texas, "that dog don't hunt," at least not around here. That is like saying that you would get on a plane flown by the wife of a pilot…just because she was there all the years her husband was at the helm…though she has never flown herself. Lets face it people Hillary has rode the Clinton name like Seattle Slew. Really who else in history has come from no experience as an elected official…atleast not of her own merritt and went straight to the U.S. Senate. That was simply because she was Bill's wife. Hillary has not been a Mayor, State legislator, Govenor…not even a Comptroller of Accounts. So if the basis of experience is being married to the president…or better yet being the President's girl, then history has proven that there are alot of mistresses out there that can have the same claim to fame in its simplest form. Starting with Monica Lewinsky. You know if you strip away the Clinton name…what else has Hillary accomplished on her own that Bill cannot be tied to? Thought so…and the Cricketts Chirp through the silence.

The argument was lets make this a hiring decision…okay here goes.

Effective management-Obama
People Skills-Obama
Innovation-Obama
Vision-Obama
Tangible Goals-Obama
Steadfast-Obama
Communication-Obama
Receptive to Constructive Critisism-Obama
Honest-Obama

….All things that Hillary has shown me to be lacking when weighed and measured.

So no as a Black, College Educated, 30 year old male I do not vote for Obama because of his skin color….because like my Fraternal Brother Brother told the world 40 years ago in a little address he gave at the March on Washington," One day I have a dream where a man can be judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his charecter." The young senator from Illinois has shown tremendous charecter. In the words of Rudyard Kippling…"If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you…yet make alloance for their doubting too." That is the Test of a man…That is the The man who Thinks he can…That is what I look for in picking a President.

Carter is an idiot! WHo is he to say who Obama shoudl pick after he defies the US and goes to talk with Hamas, hes afaraid of Hillary because she stands for a strong America that does not sit with enemies that call for the destruction of a soverign nation and our only real ally inthe mideast. Carter, go away and hide under a peanut somewhere. Obama will make up his own mind and as he as said inthe past, Hillary would be on anyones short list!

Freiday NYC, here's your answer. We expect you to vote for our candidate in November because you're voting for him to be President, not voting for us to be queens/kings of the blogs. Hillary supporters, seriously, stop making everything about you and your feelings regarding supporters of other candidates. Try to look into how each candidate compares to McCain.

Clinton would be a very bad choice for VP! She ran a shameful, divisive campaign, and would bring nothing but negatives to an Obama administration. She is basically like Lieberman, for whom Bill (with her approval) campaigned. Bill and Hillary couldn't see the difference between Lamont and Lieberman. Hillary, please just go away!

This is a shame...this would have been a great ticket just six months ago...but the dirty politics played by Hillary is too close to how thigs have been for last eight years.... I would encourage Obama to select someone who matches his reformist thinking and isn't willing to play the same old politics

Its time for the new generation of americans to stand up and be heard

I would be in favor for John Edwards or Bill Richardson

What are the super-delegates thinking! Please tell the Clintons it is over. If the Democrats take this nomination away from Obama now they will never get to the white house and their party will be lost forever.

"fair and straight", I echo the same sentiments that you state above.
Democrats, let us stop all of this unnecessary bickering, and unite for the good of our country.

If I see one more racist accusation...92% of blacks are voting for him. That is racism. I am sure they have all really done the research on the best candidate. As far as convincing HRC supporters to vote for Obama, reading some of these posts from his supporters, I am sure McCain will be POTUS.
Chickens will come home to roost!
(written in loving memory of Mary Jo Kopechne,)

What they are not mentioning is that Hillary is actually making DEMANDS that she be on the ticket. What makes Hillary think that she's in any position to try to strong arm Obama and the DNC? There's that entitlement problem she has again, rearing its ugly head. So no that she realizes that she can't steal the nomination out of Obama's hands, now she thinks she going to twist their arms and offer her the VP spot. Hillary is such a poor sport and sore loser that she has actually threatened to take this to the convention if she doesn't get offered the VP position. Who does she think this is going to hurt? It's going to ruining HER reputation, not Obamas!

We will go and vote for McCain. Better four years of McCain than four years of Obama (he's a fake).
The reason he was against Iraq war is because he sympathizes with Islam.
Jent
Iow

YOU KNOW IT IS THE IGNORANT OBAMA SUPPORTERS WHO ARE GOING TO COST HIM VOTES IF HE GETS THE NOMINATION!

THEY CALL NAMES LIKE BABIES BUT OF COURSE LOOK WHO THEY SUPPORT?

WHY CAN'T YOUR MAN BEAT HILLARY?

HE WON'T WIN IN NOVEMBER! I WILL BE ONE OF MANY WHO MAKES SURE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN!!!!

IF HILLARY GETS SCREWED OUT OF THIS GOD HELP US!!!!!

I AM DETERMINED TO SEE TO IT THAT HILLARY IS THE WINNER!

WHO'S WITH ME?

GO HILLARY GO!!!!!!

I don't see Hillary being on Obama's ticket for the presidency.

1st off, Obama's campaign is about change and Clinton is about status quo with her changes only on policy. The social/civil change is bigger that what Clinton offers so there is no value added to the ticket.

2ndly I don't want Obama wasting taxpayers money to hire a food tester in the WH.

3rdly I don't think USA is ready for a trio presidency given Hillary's rhetoric about her experience from the dual Billary presidency in the 1990s.

Obama/Ayers

re: Xango 4's comment to report the facts.

It is a fact that the Reuters/Zogby poll shows Obama with an 8 point lead over McCain.

However it is also a fact that Reuters/Zogby is not the only poll. It is also a fact that the Reuters/Zogby poll (or any other poll for that matter) is not necessarily accurate.

The Rasmussen daily poll shows a different result

"Wednesday, May 21, 2008 Email to a FriendAdvertisment
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows John McCain earning 45% of the vote while Barack Obama attracts 44%. This is the eleventh time in the last twelve days that the candidates have been within a single percentage point of each other. McCain has held a statistically insignificant lead on four of the last five days. Prior to that, it was Obama with an equally insignificant lead for ten straight days"

It is a fact that this may not be accurate either

No offense to Carter, but everytime you open your mouth, you get in trouble. Why does it matter whether HRC would accept the position if it won't be offered? That's only an insult to raise the issue. I'm an Obama supporter but I'm not into insulting Clinton. It just does no good and they've both been in this too long to go there.

We Obama folks need to stop the bashing of Sen. Clinton and supporters and start finding ways to heal the party. The contest has been over for a while now but I ask you to imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. What if our beloved candidate had lost to Sen. Clinton? Wouldn't we be screaming about the "political machine" behind Sen. Clinton? Wouldn't we be talking about the "same ol' politics?" Wouldn't we be inconsolable and feel our candidate was robbed because of… (fill in the blank). Wouldn’t we complain about how the system was rigged against Sen. Obama and the DNC was showing favoritism?

The point is, after any disappointment we all, as humans, need some time and space to digest what has happened and learn to live with the reality. Not even Sen. Clinton is immune to that.

I personally would like to see Sen. Clinton in the cabinet as Secretary of the Dept. of Health and Human Services. I’d like to see Janet Napolitano or Joe Biden as VP.

The problem with Sen. Clinton being VP is not her ego or Obama’s ego or even the tumultuous primary. It’s Bill. And I’m saying this as a fan and admirer of Bill Clinton. I think it would be a tough nut to swallow. BUT… if Hillary is on the ticket, this Dem. won’t be complaining and will sit here with a Cheshire cat grin.

Go Dems 08’

Is Nov. going to be great or what?

Thank you President Carter...

Absolutely positively no chance in Hoola Land would Barack Obama even consider asking Hillary to be his running mate.

Oh, I am laughing way too loud!!!

She is a LIAR and NOT worthy of the position ... she has been nothing but a detriment to the democratic party for many months now and her supporters are simply blind to reality. She needs to go back to NY ... they voted for her and they are stuck with her!

I believe that anyone who supports Hillary through gail force winds….or other storm activity must of been hit in the head…and is not aware that she has taken multiple positions on the same subject – i.e. support for NAFTA….then not supporting NAFTA….and war in Iraq support to not supporting the war….to drivers licenses for illegal aliens…to (you get the picture….well…everyone except Hillary supporters that is)

CLINTON-OBAMA 08
OBAMA-CLINTON 08

THE QUESTION IS WHETHER CLINTON WOULD ASK OBAMA TO BE HER V.P. THIS IS NOT OVER. OBAMA IS A MEDIA CREATION. OBAMA SHOULD GET HIS INEXPERIENCED, HATE FILLED ALLIANCES, FREINDS, UNCLES, PASTORS ON HIS TRCYCLE AND GO HOME. HILLARY WILL BE THE NOMINEE OFFERING TWO GOOD CHOICES IN NOVEMBER RATHER THAN ONE.

No Hillary, please don't go with Obama!!

McCain 2008 – Hillary 2012

I will vote for Hillary but not if Obama is on the ticket.

People mocking hillary better watch out as women are not going to put up with it. its hillary or mccain.

You know, watching Hillary's 'victory' speech last night, I feel sad that her supporters are in for such a big dissapointment as their fairy tale come to an end on June 3rd when the states run out, thanks to reality and simple mathematics.

If they vote for McCAin, then they are voting against their own principles. Sad they feel the need to sell their souls to McCain because their candidate tried hard, but lost in the end.

SOme people handle loss with grace, others dont.
Dont try and console the Hillary supporters, I have tried and they dont want it. They just want to pee on everything that Obama says or does, even though they cant escape the nagging fact that they dont have a rational argument for it. There are good losers and pathetic ones. The most hardened of her supporters are the latter.

Let them have their sour grapes and their tantrums. IN the end they are going to lose, we all know that. I hope that you come to your senses and vote democrat anyway. But if not...

Voting for McCAin just makes you look weak with no integrity. If you really want to be a full-time loser, just vote for McCain. The Republican tent is over there on the right, Rush Limbaugh is waiting to embrace your kind. Please go.

OMG, the Obamanation groupies have to be the stupidest people out there. You should study the rules that govern this preliminary race before you dribble your vile comments. Also, what makes you think it has anything to do with your anointed messiah, the OBAMA, that is causing the Clinton supports to rebel? It is not the man but his lack of experience plus a few other things YOU in your bowed positions to the rhetoric do not hear.

Amen, Freida NYC!

Carter, Hamas called and they said tell Obama good luck!!

UH, HELLO? MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA ARE BEING PENALIZED FOR HAVING THEIR PRIMARIES TOO EARLY. DOESN'T HRC REALIZE THAT THEY AREN'T GOING TO CHANGE THIS JUST BECAUSE SHE WANTS THE VOTES?

IF BARACK PUT HILLARY ON AS HIS VP, HE WOULD GET MORE VOTES. DEFINETLY. HOWEVER, A LOT OF THESE FOLKS ARE JUST SIMPLY NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN REGARDLESS OF WHO IS VOTING WITH HIM. THATS WHY THESE VOTERS IN WV,KY,PA DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM. AN EDUCATED, ARTICULATE, BLACK MAN INTIMIDATES THEM. I'M A BLACK WOMAN FROM WEST VIRGINIA SO I KNOW THIS TO BE A 100% FACT. IF OBAMA WERE A WHITE MAN THEY WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR HIM OVER HILLARY NO DOUBT.

If there is one thing this primary campaign has proven it is that a lot of people don't like Hillary. Having her on the ticket would motivate a lot of people who might vote for Barack to vote for McCain instead. The bulk of Hillary's supporters who would have voted for her in the GE will vote for Barack Obama because of the issues (supreme court judges, ending the war, restructuring tax cuts). Let's be realistic, Hillary has only won 1/3 of the states, and for the big, meaningful wins in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, if Ed Rendel, Strickland, and Evan Bayh had supported Obama, things would likely be different. It is absolutely a fact that without a heavy latino vote, Hillary would have lost Ariz, NM,NV, and TX (which she lost delegate-wise) and most of that vote will go to Obama. At the end of the day I think Hillary's case is very weak. She was the heavy favorite last December, and she lost.

Jimmy Carter. Nice man. Lousy president. Talk about appeasement.

Obama better think hard if he wants to be president this fall. Over half of the democrats in this country does not wants him as their nominee. He cannot win the presidentcy with all of those voters. So the best thing for Obama to do is to put Hillary on his ticket as VP, if not McCain will by our next president. Hillary is a very smart person and has done great things for this country, she would be the best choice foer VP.

PEOPLE WAKE UP WE NEED A LEADER WITH KNOW HOW AND EXPERENCE NOT SOME ONE LIKE OBAMBA, I WILL VOTE FOR MCAIN FIRST AS HE HAS A BACKGROUND AND EXPERENCE AND TO ME HE WILL DO LIKE SOME COUNTRIES DID DURING WW .2
BUDDY

Are you saying you would vote AGAINST Obama if Hillary were on the ticket? That's lame. She would only be VP...unless you feel she would pounce Obama. Afterall, he is the weaker of the two.

Like it or not, as divided as the party is, a join ticket is likely the only way democrats will see the White House in November. It's fact – deal with it.

Stop trashing Hillary. You aren't helping Obama's cause with her supporters.

Obama still needs 248 delegates to quench the nomination. You can't say that he is close to winning until FL and MI is settled. More sexism.

We don't want Hillary to ask or accept to be Obamaboy's running mate – she deserves to lead this great nation. He doesn't, just reality.

The MOVEMENT is in motion...
Hillary supporters, vote McCain '08 for Clinton '12

It's time we teach the DNC a lesson not to mess with the voters!!!

ANYBODY BUT CLINTON.......OBAMA WILL LOOSE MANY VOTES IF HILLARY IS ON THE TICKET.SHE HAS BEEN VERY DIVICIVE AND DISSAPOINTING FOR THE DEM PARTY.

OVER 50 WOMAN VOTER.

I am not from the U.S., but it would seem to me that if Clinton and Obama agreed to run as a team with Obama as President for the first term and Clinton the second term, they could control the white house together for the next sixteen years. I dont think this would violate the constitutional limitation of no more than eight years as President for both.

Your system of selecting a party leader is uniquely masachistic.

They would have to add 2 more desks in the oval office; one for Hillary and one for Bill. Then we can have all decisions made by a 2 out of 3 majority.

We do NOT want nasty, shrill, divisive Hillary on the DEM 2008 ticket... NO Clintons for VP.

The woman is power hungry and unstable, as she has proved by her obsessive chase after a nomination she cannot win. She is not to be trusted: REMEMBER HER BOSNIA STORY?

OBAMA-EDWARDS '08.....

Really self-serving of the Democratic party to say for the good of the party we'll unite. If you want a United (50) States of America do it for the American people. Dems don't ask what you can do for your party, but ask what you can do in Florida and Michigan.....Revote...Revote.
A 48 state primary will not serve the party or the country. United you stand>>>>>>>>>>>>

First, I'd like to say I support both Dems, and wish that we pull together. I am a african american married to a german citizen, and this racesisum, sexisum, and hateration must stop. As for a health plan living in germany we are forced to pay. Out of 2,308.20 euros monthly I pay 170.17 plus 22.97 for not having children to help my future, then a co-payment of 20 euro for medical/dental quaterly. The perscription cost is about 5-10 euro per perscription. As a democratic ticket I support Both. I am a dessert storm disabled vet and love my land but may main concern is racesisum. God bless all americans Rebubs and Dems. I use my given name in the hopes that someone would like to address me personally. Democracy Rules.

AtlantaDan,

Why would you vote for McSame?

Is his Health-Care plan so much like Clinton"s?
Is he planning on trying to end this war soon?
Does he even claim to know anything about the economy?
Has he even tried to address the job issue?
Would he care about the housing issue that we face?

So tell me AtlantaDan, if the democrat's platforms are closer to each other than the republicans why would you vote republican.

It could not be about the issues.
It could not be because she is a woman, because McSame is a man also.

So Dan, just what is it? Is it because Obama is left handed, or maybe it because Obama only has two children. No, let me guess, its because Obama is over-weight.

Hillary has set a bad example for the Democratic party. Kiss up to Fox-fix news and the Right "Chicken" Wing. She will say or do anything to win, that's the Rove tactics. Hillary will throw any group under the bus your next hard working blue collar Americans.

Go for your hopes, dreams and change vote Obama!

There is no nominee yet! Why are people constantly on this "Obama/Clinton" ticket. Let one or the other snag the nominee first...sheesh!

According to Rasmussen poll, Sen. McCain leads over Sen. Obama. And this despite the current political environment. Very Interesting.

Oh, and before anyone points out "hypocrisy" in putting Bill Clinton under more scrutiny than Michelle Obama...just take a second to think whose words the rest of the world gives more weight: a First Lady's or a former President turned First Gentleman.

Personally, I have no problem with an Obama/Clinton ticket. But having Clinton as VP would mobilize the Republicans. Those record number of Republicans who are crossing party lines to vote for Obama would go right on home.

Hillary Clinton will campaign fiercely for Barack Obama come June. All of her reasonable supporters will look at the issues (ie healthcare and this stupid war) and vote for Obama. Obama will most likely pick someone from the Clinton camp such as Governor Rendell to unite the party. But he can not pick her because of how nasty her campaign was. In an attempt to win the nomination she has ruined her VP chances. Her "old politics" directly conflicts with Obama's message of change.

Oh shut up "AtlantaDan", think with your brain and not with the fact that Clinton is behind in numbers. If you have children / grandchildren supporting McCain is signing their death warrants. I for one surely don't like Clinton, but if she steals the nomination which it is in any Clinton's blood to steal. I would still vote for her, and it would hurt like hell. I have a husband who has served in Afghanistan and came back scared of just walking outside for the fear of walking on a secretly planted land mine. I have 3 grown sons who love their country but doesn't want to fight or die due to a bogus lie and misjudgements starting this war in the first place. I have two grandsons that I don't want to see raised without their fathers. and guess what Dan? were a black a family who loves our country, and wants the war stopped so people can enjoy their sons and daughters and stop having to bury them. So our money isn't spent funding this bogus war, and can be brought back to the US and our economy. You people are being silly and selfish willing to vote for MaCain if Clinton doesn't steal the nomination. McCain is even trying to stop regular employers from furnishing medical insurance, and having people that aren't rich (like most peaple) pay out of their pockets...Is that really what Clinton supporters are really willing to sacrafice all because she doesn't get the nomination if she doesn't? If that's the case, that is REALLY SAD.

Confused Carrie: HillBilly is simply putting Hillary and Bill Clinton's name together. Settle down, no one's calling you a hillbilly. A vote against Obama is a vote for the status quo. We need change!

Well, isn't it nice how completely clueless Jimmy Carter is about what Republicans do or do not favor...And how completely unstatesmanlike for him to make these type of divisive comments.

Atlanta Dan: This is the first election I have sent money to any campaign and I am happy to say I support Hillary.

Better go send her some more then, as she is 31 million in debt. I hope Jimmy Carter is correct, that Billary as VP is unlikely. There are many better choices out there.

Wow, Gary sounds like you are a member of Rev. Wright's church. Women are not going to sit back and be addressed as "sweetie or honey". We are stong and we are here to stay. "The best man for the job is a WOMAN" . I pray for Sen. Clinton to be awarded the Democratic Nomination. She has worked hard most of her life to make a difference in America. Sen. Obama is not that far ahead. Sen. Clinton should get the Nomination and it would be in America's best interest to allow her to be the Nominee. Sen. Obama Cannot beat McCain and America will be doomed if we have another Republican President, which is likely to be the outcome if Sen. Obama is the Nominee. He cannot beat McCain and Clinton can. Clinton/ Obama "09 – 12" then have Sen. or VP Obama run and win in "12"
That is our only chance for the future of All Americans RED, WHITE and Blue alike.

If you are a Democrat you should consider voting for the nominee. If you do not want to vote Obama because he is not a female and not white, there is nothing he can do about that. If we lower ourselves to this level of debate then we should only elect White men. It is time for a change!! If we love this country we should be able to put aside the small issues and do what is best for the country, If some believe voting for a white person is more important than having health care, sound foreign policy and sound domestic policy, there is nothing Barack Obama can do about that. We need to move on for the best of the country.
God Bless America!!

Do you people get it?

Who is voting for Clinton and who is voting for Obama?

Who is bringing in the new folks, its not Clinton.

She's in debt 31 million dollars, and thats a good run campaign?

Does she want to make the national debt 15 trillion?

There are two facts in this campaign:

1. Race does matter in this campaign.

2. If she wasn't rich, this campaign would have been over 2 months ago.

Hillary will add some voters to the ticket but for sure take away many republicans and some independents who may vote for Obama. In addition she will make many GOP rally behind McCain.
However, she should have a role in the next administration.

WHY WOULD HILLARY WANT TO GO ON A TICKET WITH THIS LOSER?

HE JUST WANTS HER BIG STATES NEEDED TO WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!

SHE THUMPED HIM AGAIN LAST NIGHT BY A 35% MARGIN AFTER THE 41% MARGIN IN WEST VIRGINIA!!!

HILLARY HAS WON FIVE OF THE LAST SEVEN PRIMARIES!

THIS MAKES HER THE BETTER CANDIDATE.

ONE HAS TO ASK:

WHY AFTER ALL THESE MONTHS AND ALL THE NEGATIVE PRESS HILLARY IS STILL WINNING?

THE SUPER DELEGATES NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND NOMINATE THE ONE WHO CAN WIN!!!!

HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!

There are a lot of potentially great tickets out there. Should Obama become the nominee he could select from any number of Senators or Governors that would fill out his ticket in a complimentary fashion. Senator Clinton would be a fine choice. So would Senator Webb. Senator Hagel has been mentioned. I think it is premature to speculate who would be the best.

Obama's supporters, why so much HATE? It really is disgusting the things you people post here. How do you all expect us Hillary supporters to vote for your candidate in Nov when you continue to bash, and demorilize our candidate?! Is this the kind of "diplomacy" you all learning from Obama. Well, this will not work with the international terrorist leaders.

TO CARRIE...

WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT YOU ARE AN AMERICAN BEFOR AN DEMOCRAT?

AREN'T WE ALL AMERICANS....AT LEAST THE LAST TIME I CHECKED I AM AN AMERICAN AND SO IS OBAMA!!!!

I would bet Clinton runs as an independent. Why throw away all this support?

In fact, I pray that she does. I feel the days of the two party system should be banned. The more parties in the field and in Congress, the more that can get accomplished.

I blame both sides for screwing this country up, instead of big oil....

You know, some of these comments are really letting the world see the division among the Democrats. It makes not sense to keep carrying on over Sen. Clinton not being the front-runner. In a free world the presidential nominee should have the right to choose his VP. Sen. Obama does not owe Sen. Clinton anything at all. The comments he extended her was too good considering how she attacked him so unfairly during this process.

His supporters and true democrats will respect his choice for VP. He will need some one he can work with in order to get the job done. Sen. Clinton is power hungry to the point that she can not accept reality.

Obama & whoever his choice for VP 08

I sure hope barcks people read some of these postings. He'd certaining stay away from Hillary like the plague if they do.

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO SAY YOU'D VOTE FOR MCCAIN BEFORE OBAMA...

Why? What rational could you possibly have? These two candidates share almost identical values..

Explain yourself or get real. ie.

CHECK YOURSELF. BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELF.

I am a black woman with a PhD, so please don't tell me that my vote against Barack is because I am racist or uneducated.

I do not believe she would except the number two spot. Because it would put her in the position of having to explain some of the comments she has made in the primary election. She may be willing to take an posstion related to health care under his administration. I think she knows she has given the republicans enough she does not want to give them her also to use against the democrates. That's just my way of thinking and either way I will be a democrate. With Obama or Hillary.

I think we need to unite as dems. I also think that these polls that reflect 60% of Hillary voters saying they won't vote for Barack are misleading becuase to the best of my knowledge, there is no way to account for a primary that has run close to two years, not 6 months. No wonder each candidates supporters are entrenched. I think the media, once again, should consider it's responsability in this regard.

Hillary cannot be on the ticket for several reasons, but the primary reason is Bill. I also think that the Clinton campaign has done too much damage and proven that Hillary is not able to respond quickly to a crisis.

Joe Biden or Janet Napolitano would be my first tier VP candidates. I think Hillary SHOULD get a cabinet seat and I would like to see her as Secretary of the Dept. of Health and Human Services.

At the same time, I'm open to anything. Hillary on the tciet would be a fun and incredible ticket.

Michigan and Florida should be seated the way they voted, anything else would taint the nomination. Of course Obama does not want that as he would lose.

President Carter is one of the smartest person i know. He had all A s in: Elementary, High school, and College. Check out his report forms at the Carter Center in Atlanta, GA. Incredibly smart man.

oops... did i mention i'm a black woman AND voting for Hillary????

AtlantaDan saying you support Hillary and then opting to vote for McCain is a slap in nobody's face BUT Hillary's! Secondly, you need to think long and hard about the comments! Its republicans on both sides (Obama & Clinton) posing as democrats dishing out the nasty remarks! Keep an eye out! They are the same people every where you go! True Clinton Supporters will not need to be "won over"! If they listened to anything she's said in the last 2 years it shouldnt matter WHO the nominee is..as long as the repubicans are out of office! And TRUE Clinton Supporters will know that even if she isnt the nominee this is only the beginning for her! When Obama is president Hillary can go furthur than she ever has in Senate (i.e. majority leader a 1st for a woman)...you vote for McCain and you've deadlocked her chances on making history again!! Not being nasty...just think about it!

Hillary supporters that vote McCain have no true respect for her or her stance on the issues. She admirably fought for her vision of American for nearly two years, a vision that couldn't be more removed from McCain's vision of the US and the world, and by voting for him you'd be essentially giving Hillary and her hard work a slap in the face. I firmly believe that in the end she'd rather want the realization of her vision of America than winning the presidency. So stop thinking about what you want, but start thinking about what she wants. Also, in an Obama cabinet position she can play a more effecive role in realizing her vision of America than when she is pushed to the sidelines by a McCain victory, for which a great many Democrats, rightly or wrongly, will blame her. Hillary supporters, if you truly want to play a heroic role in this historic election, then chose for the path of America that she wanted to take, and not for the destructive status quo we have now. Only you can decide this thing and I hope you'll choose to be on the "right" side of history. Thank you.

I am Pro-Obama. But that does not mean that I am anti Hillary. With this being said. I think it is truly unfortunate that MANY Hillary supporters will not back Obama WHEN he becomes our nominee. I dare not speculate as to why this would be the case....

As a result, I think putting Hillary as VP, may be the only viable way that Obama can capture a significan portion of her base in the General Election. There will obviously be a percentage of Democrats who "WILL NEVER' vote for Obama. But there is not much that he can do about that..However, having her serve on his ticket as VP would help to mend a lot of the "bitter" feelings within our party.

Democrats '08, '12, Forever....

I agree with President Carter, that a joint ticket is not likely, because of the same reason why Sen. John Edwards did not endorse Sen. Clinton. It will be commiting political suicide! There is no way to justify taking along a person who is runnig "old politics" and pro lobbyists!
Moreover:
Sen. Clinton was complaining about sexism or misogynistic trends in this election. She forgot that first she was not running as a woman, but as a candidate that happened to be a woman. Later on when things were no longer going her way then she played gender card, race card and victim card! She and Bill said to Sen. Obama: "if you cannot the heat, get out of the kitchen"! So why complain? Do the right thing! Don't throw trash at people, when you are not willing to take trash yourself. Follow the golden rule! Sorry, I forgot it is difficult to follow the rules when one is Clinton! Yet you aspire to be the Commander-in-Chief of a country built on rules? How would the military function, without rules? How would various state departments function without rules? Americans are you really serious that you want a leader again who disrespects rules, regulations and laws? This is prerequisite number ONE for executive job! How can one be a lawyer when one is against rules, regulations, law and order? If one cannot respect DNC rules that every Candidate accepted without protest before the primaries, how does one expect that person to respect the law of the land? Can someone tell me?

Sam Nunn would be an excellent choice! Not only was he Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee for years, he has extensive foreign policy experience. Best, he was considered one of the most thoughtful and and trustworthy members of the Senate and was well respected by members of both parties.

No Clinton on the ticket–please!!! I know superdelegates don't read these posts but please put an end to this...you can do it!! do it soon. we have to move forward.

Anyone who is thinking of casting their votes for McCain is welcome to do so. I make more than 100.000 annually, McCain would work much better for me in that respect. (Though I am all for Obama and voted for him already and will cast my vote for him come November). So for me it really doesn't matter whoever is the next president as far as my finances though I am worried about other things. But for people who are suffering economically to cast a vote for McCain is stupidity at its best truly. This election will be about common sense versus stupidity. Obama keeps saying American people are better and smarter than that but I don't know... We shall see in November. I am voting for Obama even though he will be taking away Bush's tax cuts I have been enjoying over the past years but I love my country and am more worried about her standing in 21st century's world than any finances. Think hard people.

How can she( Hillary) be on a ticket of someone she has negatively criticized, time without number, and even said he's not capable which is all politics as usual from washington perspective. Well, I think she shouldn't be on the ticket, because we are moving in a different direction of changing the way this great country is perceived both inside and outside. We need a total overhaul change, we don't need Clinton and her baggages in the white house, even as a VP. We are smatter than all her schemings.

Any American who loves their country, freedom, their jobs, a future, and would like for America to remain number 1 in the world BETTER NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! Man, what has to happen in this country before dumb Americans like AtlantaDan puts someone in office that will move the country forward instead of driving us in the ground?

DEMOCRATS CANNOT LET ANOTHER REPUBLICAN INTO OFFICE OR OUR COUNTRY WILL BE DOOMED!

It is a shame that AtlantaDan and others like him are willing to cross over and vote republican if Clinton is not on the ticket. Like President Carter, I don't think a joint ticket is likely for many reasons. However, I understand how AtlantaDan feels–if the roles were reversed, which would be the case if Clinton somehow manages reverse the superdelegate vote–I cannot envision voting for Clinton under any circumstance. I'm sure she would be a competent president, but we need new blood in the WH. Should HC get into office, that would mean that the presidency will have been held by only two families for at least 24 years. I cannot imagine that's what our Founding Fathers had in mind. Furthermore, I don't believe she could beet McCain–a true American Hero, vs. someone who has lied about being under sniper fire... I can see the commercial now. Game over. So we might as well get used to a McCain presidency, because if Obama cannot bring Clinton supporters back like AtlantaDan back into the fold, McCain will certainly win.

Hey Charles,there may be more Clinton haters out there than Clinton supporters but Hillary has received more votes in a primary year (close to 16 million) than ANY other 2nd place candidate in history. That says to me that there are many Clinton supporters still out there. Get over your jealously of the Clintons!

Obama should consider Hillary on the ticket, so that her supporters do not go out and vote for McCain. Unfortunately, the Dems have been so divided, but they need to become united. The race has been so close, it would only make sense to put them on the same ticket. It's not about pride or who comes out on top, it's about the unity of two very strong Democratic candidates. Let's put all of this bickering and long campaigning behind us. I'm not waiting for McCain and his prediction of winning the war in Iraq by 2013. Are you kidding me!? Dems '08!

Obama/Clinton '08
Clinton/Obama '08

I believe that anyone who supports Hillary through gail force winds....or other storm activity must of been hit in the head...and is not aware that she has taken multiple positions on the same subject – i.e. support for NAFTA....then not supporting NAFTA....and war in Iraq support to not supporting the war....to drivers licenses for illegal aliens...to (you get the picture....well...everyone except Hillary supporters that is)

Mr. Carter: please, build houses for the homeless; feed the starving; clothe the naked . . . but stay out of the Middle East and Democratic politics. Play to your strengths, my man!

Clinton supporters.... Please, stop it. I am sick and tired of your comments. They are so hypocritical, malicious, mean, rough... I am so sorry but I start to trust that for Clinton vote people without education.

I don't think Obama/Clinton would work, she stuck on old ways and ideas. I personally think she is to dirty and extremely power hunger to be VP.

She and Bill would destroy him by framing him in whatever they could. The Clintons are not to be trusted.

I don't get you Obama supporters... Hillary still commands 40-45% of the vote of democrats in the US, so saying you don't need her supporters votes is just plain inaccurate... so, calling all Hillary supporters racist or bitter isn't doing your preferred candidate any favors

AtlantaDan, where are your scruples? You'd vote for a war-mongering McCain instead of a democrat? I don't get the logic. I've heard other people say that. McCain will just keep us at war for another 8 years. Please reconsider your logic.

CNN,

If Hillary is not on the ticket we will not vote or we vote McCain! Obama cannot beat McCain.

Let Hillary go home and lick her wounds. We DO NOT want her for VP. Let her and Geraldine Ferrato drink whiskey and shoot rabbits in the backyard of DEFEAT in good ol' West Virigina.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Barack Obama is in Florida to raise money from voters whom he has worked hard to disenfranchise from the Democratic Party’s nomination process.

Barack Obama is shopping for a running mate before securing the Party’s nomination.

Frankly, not being one of the millions who have fallen in love with the idea of Barack Obama as President of the United States, I’ve never been able to see beyond his obvious flaws as a weak candidate with a thin resume and a serious touch of arrogance.

Barack Obama at the top of the ticket would spell defeat for the Democratic Party in the fall, and the failure of the Democratic Party as I’ve known it for nearly 4 decades will be complete.

Fortunately, if Obama should ever actually secure the nomination, Hillary Clinton will be there to lead the new Democratic Party in the wake of the disaster.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE.... HILLARY CLINTON '08!

No thanks for Clinton. He need somebody else.

Carter is right but in all fairness Obama may need to at least ask Hillary to be on the ticket with him just as she would need to ask him if she somehow stole the nomination awat from him. I know Obama wouldn't want the Hillary baggage which means he would be keeping the old politics around but he may have no choice. Being a strong Obama supporter, I feel it's only fair. Even though Hillary is not being fair by giving Obama a hard time with her mean remarks, he should turn the other cheek and still do to her what's fair.

I certainly don’t want a person who lies deliberately -whether its while telling a long anecdote about Bosnia or claiming she has the popular vote lead by counting a state without Obama on the ballot- to be anywhere near the ticket. The bible says ‘the TRUTH shall set you free’. No more lies! Also, one wants a vp to wishes them well not hope that something bad happens so she can take over ( just like she’s’ going now!). no no. no thank you.

...you seem like a fairly rational person. Other than just being upset that you wasted money by backing the eventual loser, why on earth would you vote for McCain over Obama if you're a Democrat?

Obama and Clinton are much, much closer on policy issues regarding health care, foreign policy, taxes, civil rights, abortion, energy policy, everything than McCain is to either one of them. So if you believed in Hillary's policies enough to support her, why wouldn't you support the candidate whose viewpoints most closely mirror hers? I really don't get it....

It seems to me that most Hillary supporters say they won't vote for Obama because there's some strange notion that the DNC handed this election to Obama and that Obama somehow single-handedly disenfranchised Michigan and Florida. All I can say in response is that Obama got more votes and, under the primary rules of the DNC won far more delegates – so how did the DNC hand him anything? And as far as him disenfranchising Michigan and Florida, that was a decision made by the DNC and supported by all of the candidates at the time, including Hillary Clinton. I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that if she were in Obama's position and he were in hers she would reject out of hand Obama trying to claim that he was ahead in the popular vote, and she would be the first to claim that the DNC made its decision regarding Michigan and Florida and all of the candidates are simply bound to follow that decision.....not like Obama did this all himself

AtlantaDan – You have to understand that the perceived slighting goes both ways. I'd like to believe that most Obama supporters can overlook many of the less-than-friendly comments Hillary supporters have made in past months, but nobody here is claiming to be anything close to perfect. We believe we can win this thing, and we would certainly like your help in delivering a democratic White House, but the decision of VP is Obama's alone, and a few events of the past months may be lingering in his mind (Her pouncing on the word "bitter", claiming at one point that McCain would be a better choice than Obama, any number of gaffes made by Bill this season).

Well, AtlantaDan, I guess we *do* get the leadership we deserve. If Hillary supporters vote for McCain, we'll get exactly what we deserve.

Think about it, she can do anything for the power. Once she becomes VP, She might be really thinking how to topple Obama. I think Obama needs a reliable VP not someone who digs into their own yard.

I hope Barack selects someone who is in sync with his message. That is not Clinton, that would be disastrous for his presidency.

oh... and don't be too alarmed by a Hillary Supporter voting for McCain....
see we were REPUBLICANS in the first place

No -she should not be on the ticket.. She has deliberately unfairly attacked Obama and this is evident based onthe poles...Now why in heavens name would he want a Jezebel as VP.. As strong a candidate she is I think she would try to take the spot light from him..No Thanks..

to atlantadan:
you must have plenty of money to waste if you are still sending money to hillary's campaign.

if you vote for mccain, you are exactly the kind of voter that republican's attacts, dumb.

don't you care about our troops? you voted for bush, didn't you

ATL Dan we do need to unite as a party to win in November. Camp Obama wants and needs Hillary's supporters to back him. But it makes me SICK to see Hillary's supporters say they would vote for McCain. Are the issues not a factor anymore? Hillary and McCain are polar opposites how can you vote for him? Simply because you don't like Obama and his supporters have ticked you off? This is way too important. We cannot doom ourselves to 4 more years of the same leadership, and don't give me that experience crap. He's been a senator as long as she has and being someone's spouse doesn't count! My wife can't do my job and I can't do hers! Can yours?

Senator Obama would be well advised to chose a vice-presidential running mate who is more in line with his ‘new politics’ agenda than is Senator Clinton. Senator Obama has successfully marketed himself as an agent of change in the political atmosphere and behavior of what is accepted for political discourse today. If Senator Obama chose Senator Clinton as a running mate he would counter that argument because Senator Clinton chose to be an agent of non-change and a representative of the politics as known wing of the Democratic Party. A better choice for Senator Obama would be a southerner with strong foreign policy credentials or a well-known westerner who could chip into and take some of those ‘red’ states in the west.

Strange. Another story linked on the CNN page has Carter saying that having Clinton as VP is key to Obama winning the White House.

I think it's a horrible idea. Clinton represents everything Obama has campaigned against: divisiveness, negativity, cynicism, dishonesty. She's exactly the sort of politician that Obama's supporters have shown that they don't want. And if she were on the ticket, all of the truckloads of baggage from her past that has so far gone unmentioned during the primary would suddenly become Obama's problem. Plus, if she were on the ticket, you'd have Bill skulking around the White House thinking HE should be president.

Hillary had her shot, she blew it by running a lousy campaign. She's a good senator, but keep her far, far away from Obama's ticket.

Yes, Highly unlikely because SHE is to good for the VP spot. If anything, he should be begging her for VP because, there is NO WAY he will win without Hillary! The man doesn't have a clue on what to do on anything. Believe me, Hillary would be doing HIS job while he would be taking all the credit! No, if anything HE should be VP and Hillary for President, the only way the DEMS will beat John McCain in the fall! Wake up people......

I am getting tired of reading all the posts of people saying that if HRC is not the nominee they are voting McCain. To be honest ,if you are prepared to put up with 4 more years of a costly war, to continue to watch our standing as a world power crumble and to pay more and more to live while watching your salary stand still, please go ahead and do it. I really doubt you ever intended to vote for a Democrat anyway. Take your ball and go home. There are plenty of us to make up the difference.

It is unlikely but with Clinton all but saying since that she is planning to stay in until the convention what is the alternative. She has said she is staying in until someone reaces the required number and she does not feel that a committment is enough. The superdelegates do not vote until the convention so she is threatening to go all the way to the floor. It is nice to think of her as VP becasue it would bring the party together enough to win the general but the reality is that she is so loaded with skeletons in her closet it would be a nighmare against the GOP. Obama is squeaky clean compared to all other politicians and it would be nice to keep it that way. If for no other reason Paul V Clinton is enough to not allow her on the ticket if possible. I mean how would it look for a VP to be endited on felony charges? Not to mention that Obama would never be able to sleep again with his life being the only thing in between Hillary and the job of President. I know i would not want my life in between her and something she wants because she puts herself above all else.

AtlantaDan
Voting because of the VP?

Isn't that worse than being a one issue voter?

Instead consider this, are better off than you were eight years ago?

Is the country better off than it was eight years ago?

Do you want more of the same for yourself, your nation, and your children?

This is bigger than one canidate or one party. This is about getting America back on the right track. Vote appropriately.

You don't want her voters? You're an idiot. Then Obama loses. Democrats are too hateful to run this country.

Having Hillary on the ticket would do a disservice to Obama as well as Hillary. Hillary represents business as usual as supported by the exit polls in WV and KY. On the other hand there will be a number of blacks who will believe that Obama took them for granted, if he places Hillary on the ticket. When it comes to the race card, Hillary opened many wounds for African Americans. When she was putting down Barack ,she in subsequent was putting down all African Americans. Like it or not racism and sexism do and willplay a part in our politics because America does have some uneducated backward people, in all groups of people. The ism's are alive and well in America until the backward generations die off, then America will have to dill with their children.

this is smart...many of the "non-Democratic" states where Obama lost to Clinton will not be won by the Democratic Party when it comes to the general election, regardless of who the nominee is. I'm sorry...given a choice between a white man and either a woman or a black man, some states will go with the white man everytime. This is not being said to be devisive...it is just a fact that too many people choose to deny. States like New York and California will go Democratic with either candidate. The addition of Clinton to an Obama ticket will not increase the likelihood of a fall win. The VP needs to help turn close states like Ohio, Penn, Michigan where solidifying the Democratic Party will still not be enough.

CNN,

If Hillary is not on the ticket we will not vote or we vote McCain. This is 100% true.

I'm a strong Obama supporter and I'm starting to warm up to Hillary as VP, but I think it will be a hard sell to most Democrats. I also worry that Hillary as VP brings all the Clinton baggage along without the impact. But the Republicans have such a weak candidate, a one -two punch with Obama and Clinton might be the answer.

On the other hand, there are Obamacons that might not vote for the ticket because they despise the Clintons. The independents and cross-over Republicans, which I think there are many are a force not to be ignored.

I also believe that by offering the VP, she will SHUT UP about the evils of sexism etc. Maybe we would be lucky and she wouldn't take it because she is still expecting to be the Nominee.

By the time Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton get finished with their "prolonged attempt" to "HAVE EVERY VOTE COUNTED", there will be absolutely NO CHANCE FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO WIN IN THE FALL!! The latest tactic "sexism", is going to just add more fuel to the fire she has purposely set that burns hotter every day!! I will not be surprised to see her go all the way to the convention!! Irregardless of what the critics might say, I truly believe SHE IS SET ON A COURSE to completely tear the Democratic party apart!! The Clintons are narcissitic, petty, liars, cheaters, and corrupt politicians and individuals who are only interested in two people in this world, BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON!! So, I respectfully send a message to every Super Delegate that has not endorsed as yet!! PLEASE PLEASE, SUPERDELEGATES - ENDORSE BARACK OBAMA IMMEDIATELY, ASAP, IN THE COMING DAYS, so that he will have the numbers necessary to close this primary and get on with campaigning in the general!! WE NEED TO END THIS RACE!! IT IS GETTING UGLIER AND MORE DIFFICULT WITH EVERY DAY, DUE TO THE CLINTONS AND THEIR DETERMINATION TO TEAR THE PARTY APART!!

LET US SEE THE SUPER DELEGATES MAKE THEIR MOVE TO OBAMA IMMEDIATELY!!

We the Obama supproters we do not want to hear the Name Clinton Ever again.

That decision wont be made my Carter! I want to see some comments in reference to the new stance the Bush administration is taking towards Cuba by allowing Americans to send cell phones to Cuban relatives. I want to know how is McCain going to insist that no dialogue between the Castro regime is benefitting anyone. Also I think America needs to stop putting so much emphasis on trying to appease certain groups and have the same policy towards all racial groups that exist within the United States.

Hillary supporters can take their vote over to McCain. But in 2012 the Obama supporters will take their votes elsewhere, when she tries to run again. "Karma" as Earl Hickey would say.

My Word! Are we democrats losing our senses? First, I support Senator Obama, secondly at one time I supported Mrs. Clinton, however, I took exception to her methods and decided to go with Senator Obama.
Now let's see here, we are democrats, our goal is to reclaim the whitehouse. Traditionally speaking, when your favored candidate loses the nomination you vote for whoever has been determined to be our standard bearer, it becomses a vote to support your PARTY AND BELIEFS. Being spiteful and flipping over to the republican candidate shows a real sense of immaturity and a lack of belief in party ideals.
I will vote for THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE BE IT OBAMA or CLINTON, THAT'S HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED.
Personally, I think that Clinton is supporting this switcheroo idea as a petty "I told you so"...don't play. VOTE DEMOCRAT in NOVEMBER.

AtalntaDan,
Obama supporters are not saying things like that. That's Operation Chaos at work. LIkewise, there are "Hillary" supporters saying nasty things, too. Once again, Operation Chaos.

I agree with AtlantaDan. I was on the fence for awhile, leaning more toward Obama. I still plan to vote for Obama, but have to remind myself daily that his supporters arent him. I shudder at how they treat fellow democrats. Obama will be losing a very large population of voters if he does not let Hillary's supporters be represented in this election. It is not like he is winning by a landslide. Her votes are very important and FL and Michigan WILL vote in the actual election, among her other states.

What's most amazing to me in this race is that everyone has an opinion that is based on nothing but wishful thinking, conjecture and, perhaps, most sadly, ignorance and stupidity. What's more amazing to me is that the media continues to solicit opinions from anyone who cares to give one and then proceed to analyze these worthless utterances for hours. When some idiot seriously argues that HRC should reject race based votes, as has been suggested by one of CNN's "political analysts" last night, it is time to say enough is enough. This is especially true in light of the fact that by now, even the most ignorant "political analyst" should have caught on to the fact that the Obama campaign has built its entire strategy around race and race based votes,

Likewise, it is doubtful that HRC would even consider the No. 2 spot. Obama is going to get trounced in the Fall, in case this, too, is still not obvious to the media. Obama's strategy to gather the African American vote and then blackmail the party to make him the nominee is clearly not going to work in the Fall as there will be nobody to blackmail. HRC is clearly not dumb enough to become part of a ticket that is guaranteed to lose the election. No guys, she is running for 2012.

At what point does somebody tell Mr. Carter to shut up and simply reflect on his horrible presidency. What happened to retiring to the Peanut Farm.

This is news how? Carter has no knowledge of either campaign, and if his presidency showed anything, he has little or now political know-how.

Hey Gary....
here's my thoughts to you as a hardcore Hillary Supporter.....

WELCOME PRESIDENT MCCAIN if she is NOT ON THE TICKET.....

I disagree.

A obama-clinton ticket would help to make obama stronger against McBush.

Although I dislike Clinton; she is a cheater

Who asked this guy to come out of his hole under the rock? He is so irrelevant, and useless, but he knows that and that's why he's pushing himself into the spotlight by answering questions that he claims he doesn't know about. Carter you should go back into hiding.

Any democrate casting their vote for Mccain because their candidate did not make it is a fool.

(I will ask…but there will never be an answer) – for those who say Hillary or McCain – what positions do you support Hillary on….i.e. why are you voting for her? McCain and Clinton don't share similar positions on anything….so….my guess….you voted on gender…and want to send a (poor) message that you didn't get your way…again…try picking up a newspaper to see where the candidate stand on certain positions

billary noway to put this mildy she is not honset we dont need
another 4 yrs. of gop.

We have DEMOCRATS who say they won’t vote for OBAMA, but we have just as many REPUBLICANS. who say they will. Just something to think about for you CLINTON SUPPORTS who won’t support OBAMA.

It sounds like an EVEN TRADE TO ME, except the cross over REPUBLICANS is getting the better part of the deal. Just my 2 cents or 1.

You guys are going to look real funny with you nose cut off.

Now is the time to SHANK HANDS, KISS and make up to get ahead of the game.

Obama 08!

I think that he will offer her the position and she will accept it. I also think that the two of them together would eat McCain alive. But then I worry about this e-mail going around with a list of people that are no longer living because of the Clintons, wondering if it could be true and if Obama would be the next victim which would make Hillary the President.

Not likely.

It doesn't matter. John McCain will likely be the next president anyway. Just watch. If Obama looses all of those swing states like he did to Clinton (WV, KY, PA, OH, MI, FL) then McCain will win. It's sad that this whole thing could come down to one thing: Trust. Obama, I think, is just too much of a question mark for people.

Maybe Obama/Hagel would work. He'd be able to siphon off voters from McCain, and it would help bringing over Congressional Republicans...

If you're like me and my mom and can't bring yourself to vote for Obama, either write in Hillary or vote Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney. She's a pretty cool candidate in my opinion.

Any democrate casting their vote for Mcain is a fool because their candidate did not make it is a fool.

I vote democratically, but I am an American before I am a democrat. I have a right to vote for whomever I want. I am sick of Obama supporters saying anyone who supports Hillary is a hilly billy. My vote in November will be a vote against Obama. TTFN DNC!

CNN please report the news that matter, and the facts

By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent
Wed May 21, 7:17 AM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrat Barack Obama has opened an 8-point national lead on Republican John McCain as the U.S. presidential rivals turn their focus to a general election race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

To Atlanta DAn,_ your vote is your choice, you support Hillary that is your choice..
just remember: she voted for the war, she uses fear tactics from GOP , she quotes Karl Rove for a reason to continue in the fight,
and if you like most of AMericans care, remember,
she lies, lies lies

how is that you can live with a liar ..but not an African American president..
intersting...

Hillary would be a bad choice, she and Bill brought in racism and sexism – lets move forward!

To all those that wont vote for Obama once the other 64delegates/superdelegates are allocated – remember there are more that didnt vote during the primary that are waiting for him to be on the ballot in November – so its okay. And guess what many of the are white and this also includes those living in FL and MI whom was told their vote didn't count so dont come out!!!

There are many, many more CLINTON HATERS out there
than there are Hillary supporters.

This country is in enough chaos without creating chaos in the White House by teaming Obama and Hillary.

WE DON'T WANT HER OR HER VOTERS! MAYBE THEY CAN GO LIVE ON A DESERTED ISLAND SOMEWHERE AND STAB EACH OTHER IN THE BACK?

FL didn't follow the rules and shouldn't be counted. Neither should Michigan where Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot (he followed the rules). I am a staunch Republican who supported Bush (who inherited Clinton's mistakes), but will be voting for Obama. It is time for change. An Obama/Clinton ticket is better than a McBush/McCheney one, ANYDAY!

If Hillary supporters rather cut off their noses to spite their uneducated faces, then they are welcome to vote for McBush.

I just hope that when the country is totally bankrupt by 2012, they don't blame it on anybody but themselves.

My money is on James Webb or Kathleen Sibelius, but I really don't care much as long as Hillary stays out of the White House.

Too bad...I know alot of people who won't vote Democratic unless Hillary is on the ticket. Good luck without her Obama. Picking Jim Webb would be a terrible choice and you can say goodbye to women when the GOP runs ads about his views on women in the military. All that equals another loss for the Democrats.

I think Jon Stewart was on to something. A McCain – Clinton ticket. They are both centrists and have worked together before. I don't think I'd vote for Obama – Clinton (simply because the obama supporters have turned me off of Obama so bad that I do not want to be affiliated with them in any way.)

I would vote for a McCain – Clinton ticket though.

He wont choose her, wont happen Billary!

I find it very selfish that ppl would make comments along the lines of "the only way i'd vote for obama is if clinton is on the tkt"...most of the ppl who won't vote for Barack will NEVER vote for a black man as president so pls stop pretending like Hillary on the tkt would convince you otherwise

For me, the only way in the world I will ever vote for Barack is if HRC's name is on the ballot. Otherwise, I'm writing HRC's name in on the ballot. Chastise me all you want Obama fans, but that's the way it is. Obama's lack of experience and naiveté scare the hell out of me...

NEVER!

this would be a strong unbeatable ticket for sure. I'm not sure if Obama would want this however

Who cares what this guy thinks?

God help us!

HRC needs to quit the race and begin working for Obama with NO STRINGS ATTACHED if we are to believe she is not really trying to sabotage thi selection because she is not the nominee.

CNN Report this:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrat Barack Obama has opened an 8-point national lead on Republican John McCain as the U.S. presidential rivals turn their focus to a general election race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

Obama, who was tied with McCain in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup last month, moved to a 48 percent to 40 percent lead over the Arizona senator in May as he took command of his grueling Democratic presidential duel with rival Hillary Clinton

I hope he does Mr. Carter she is an evil woman in the top of that Add Bill Clinton to that this will make the Obama admistration will be a disaster.

I don't know what people say it is an unlikely matchup.
Obama cannot even win if he doesn't put her on the ticket.......
So, all I can say is 4 more years of McSame........

Barack and Hillary have completely different working styles. They are both very strong people. When you add Bill into the problem, I do not believe a team of these two (or three, depending upon how you look at it) would work. A VP is usually the person who promotes the president's agendas, travels on good will missions, and generally keeps pretty quiet. Neither Hillary or Barack could comfortably do that.

Who ever wins the nomination should look elsewhere, and put their opponent in these primaries in a role in their administration in which they can do very good things outside the Whitehouse...

No way should Clinton be anywhere near the White House....

Hillary has stayed in the race for that
very purpose.

The V.P. slot.

She deserves it.

How does Jimmy do it? He was a terrible president, his appeasement during the Iran hostage affair only emboldened the radicals, who didn't free the hostages until a strong president – Regan – took office, yet Jimmy somehow stays in the limelight. He needs to retire and grow peanuts.

You are right pres. carter, but i think sen biden is a better choice

If Barack Obama caves and chooses Hillary Clinton as his
running mate, he's just lost the election. Period.

Half the country will NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton, no matter
what position she is on the ticket. The "Clinton Fatigue" is
a real and living thing, and it will never go away, no matter how
nice she tries to play.

Sure the republicans would favor Hillary on Obama's ticket – they can't wait to go after her and Bill!

Thanks Mr. Carter – we don't want her on our ticket nor near the white house!

Go Bam!

Instead of the Clintons, who have really disgraced themselves, how about someone with some decency like Claire McGaskill or Bill Richardson?

Obama should be able to pick his own VP. If it were me I certainly wouldn't pick Hillary. Bill would haunt the man in his own home.

If Obama dosn't at least ask Hillary Clinton to take the VP spot, how does he expect the party to unite and Hillary's supporters to back him.

AMEN!

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A REPUBLICAN ON THE TICKET WITH OBAMA!

Barack Obama only has 62 more delegates to go to become the democratic nominee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

President Obama 08/09/10/11/12/13/14/15/16

Hillary should be the one offering Obama the VP position.

I think it would be lunacy for Barack Obama to add Hillary Clinton in the V.P. Spot! She caaries to much baggage for the republicans to target and make an issue over from the Clinton years in the white house. Also, I would not trust her and Bill Clinton who played the race card with African Americans and White Americans to polarize and inject race and now sexism into the debate on who the eventual presidential nominee would be. She is blind or oblivious to her and Bills racial ephitets which caused and extraordinary focus on race. Then she says Barack Obama suffered no backlash, the only real issue is sexism! She wants the presidency so bad, I think Barack Obama would need a food taster, extra security, and his own aircrafte mechanics and inspecters to feel comfortable.

I agree with you Mr. Ex. President. A Clinton VP spot won't help OBAMA's chances in the fall, but will unite democrats.

So what do we do?

As an Obama supporter he should ask her. The ticket would be unbeatable. As we know women vote more than men, and she would bring a majority of them.

Obama/Clinton 08/12

i agree the dual ticket would certainly grant us the presidency.. but if he chooses her not only will be going against the type of political players he is running against, but he will be spending the whole General campaign fighting off her baggage and more specifically the baggage that has come from her!.. I can hear it now.. Clinton: Obama is the right man for the job.. ready on day one!(snicker) McCain: yeah well.. you didnt think so back in the Primaries.. in fact you thought that I was better qualified than him!..

not good.

There are better ways to unify the party. Can anyone really see HIllary accepting a position with basically no power? She'd have more power to actually do something in her Senate seat than as a VP. In this country, a VP [with the exception of the current occupant] is not a CO-president. It's totally up to the president how large a role a VP plays, and I really can't see Obama giving much power to the Billary machine.

For the naysayers about experience - if you'll check the facts and consider only experience as an elected official, Sen. Obama actually has more than Sen. Clinton. Experience as a first lady doesn't quite cut it.

I once thought this would be a dream ticket - but Hillary's own actions have changed my mind on that one!

Here's an idea Mr. President. If your prepared to name Obama as the winner already why don't you cast your superdelegate vote and help END THE DOGGONE THING!!!!!

This is the first election I have sent money to any campaign and I am happy to say I support Hillary. The Obama camp better think long and hard on how to win over the Hillary supporters. I can tell you it makes me sick everytime I see a post from an Obama supporter saying they do not need our vote. I may cast my vote for McCain- this will be the first time I have ever voted for a republican. The ONLY way I will vote Democrat is if he ask Hillary to run with him. NOW that is a ticket that would make it to the White House.... If not... Welcome President McCain

Are all former Presidents Superdelegates?

If so, are there any conflict of interest rules?

I wouldn't want her on the ticket with Obama. She's basically said he's unqualified, is elitist, and "as far as I know" may be a muslim. Plus, she's run a horrendous campaign, wasting all kinds of money.

She may be able to hold her whiskey, but I don't think she should hold high office.

The worse nightmare for Democrats is a joint Obama-Clinton ticket. After all the cheap and nasty trash Hillary piled on Obama, she deserved to be shunned by the Establishment, not offered the VP spot. She is vile, selfish, conceited, and politically challenged. If she had one iota of sense, she would not have run those attack ads. She practically slammed the door on herself.

Even now, she is stubbornly hanging on, just to make more money thru donations. During every one of "victory" speeches, she begs for money. That's Clintons for you, in a nutshell. They are all about money.

I'm afraid that Hillary is going to cause so much problem between now and the convention that the damage will be irreversable.James Carville made the remark this am that they would come out of the convention unified.They need to unify before that.Hillary is demanding that Flordia and Michigan either be counted as was voted in the bogus primaries or have new primaries. She also is using the # 2210 as the nomination #.She don't sound like someone willing to unite any too soon.

I don't want her involved in any way nor her hard core women supporters who have as their only agenda to ruin the parties chances for the sake of having a woman as president . You cannot trust her,she is a liar,is too decientful, and shady to allow her to get her hands in anything a vice president. You do not have to go away mad Hillary just go away.....

I must agree, a Clinton & Obama ticket is highly unlikely. We are with you Hillary, through thick or thin, storm or sunshine, breeze or gail force winds, we are with you kid!

I don't think Clinton would help with Obama's message for change but it might help unite the party. I would rather he choose someone else but you never know how things will turn out in politics.

Thank God.

Democrats need to unite under one man! Barack Obama!

He is 70 shy of the nomination, there's only one nominee!!!

The "Right Wing" is comming on to the "Right Side"!!!!!!

*****OBAMA .......CROSSING PARTY LINES FOR UNITY!!!!!!!******

THIS IS A GREAT MAN!!!!!!!

I can only hope Carter is right about the unlikelihood Obama will choose Hillary as a running mate. He would be foolish to soil the WH premises with the likes of Bill Clinton who will certainly roam the halls and run his narcissistic mouth.. America can offer better, and deserves as much.

So, Jimmy Carter and Hillary have had a conversation about whether she would accept a VP proposal from Obama???? Why do you people continue to report "Non-News" from people who don't have a clue?????????????

Saw this in this morning's paper and on CNN's website!

"Should Clinton reject racists?
David Gergen says Sen. Hillary Clinton should tell racists that she doesn't want their vote."

Perhpas Obama should be the one to do so!

To every super delegate of the Democratic Party,

Please think long and hard about the simple choice you now have to make:
1) Choose to endorse Hillary Clinton as the Party’s nominee and watch her become the first woman to be elected President of the United States.

or

2) Choose to endorse Barack Obama and watch the first African American nominee of the Democratic Party lose in the general election.

Hillary Clinton will win against John McCain in the states that the Democratic Party needs to win in order to reach 270 electoral votes in the general election.

Obama won’t.

It’s that simple.

Hillary Clinton has been the best candidate in this long primary election, is by far more competent to run against the Republicans in the general election, and is infinitely more qualified to be President of the United States than is Barack Obama.

Endorsing Barack Obama, a relatively unknown candidate with a thin resume who has lost nearly every large state and swing state to Hillary Clinton in the primaries by large margins, is a huge gamble at best.

Please don’t gamble with our futures.

HILLARY CLINTON ’08

I guess this means that we can all look forward to Obama/Clinton 08.

After all, Jimmy Carter has been wrong about everything else!

There are much better choices for VP that Obama could make than Clinton that would do a better job of uniting the party.
I for one, can not see myself voting for Clinton in any capacity. She has done to much to divide the party. Also, I don't think the Clintons would be satisfied in taking a backseat to Obama and would be overstepping their bounds on a daily basis. If Bill wasn't with Hillary she'd have a better chance. However, if she didn't have Bill with her she probably wouldn't have gotten this far to begin with.
When the Democratic convention takes place I still have visions of them pulling the Clinton's off the floor in straight jackets. I don't think either of them imagined that the nomination wouldn't be handed to them on a silver platter. In all reality at one time it probably could have but between the lies, the party divisiveness, Bill's playboy antics, stealing of the silverware and dishes, whitewater (?) and more I just can't see a reason to put them back in that position. Make no mistake, it would be a package deal with Hill & Bill. With everything that has gone on the past 8 years why bring back old issues and problems?
My view when I voted was anyone but the Clintons and I haven't changed my mind.
Obama has fresh views and thinks logically. This is something we haven't seen in a long time. He has my vote. I just hope he uses that logical thinking and chooses a less devisive running mate.

Jim Webb

Whatever Hillary wants to do, I'm going to do. If she wants on the ticket, then I will vote for the ticket. Otherwise, this woman will be waiting for 2012 to vote for a Democrat.

Hey, before y'all go callin' Kentucky voters a bunch of racists, consider this: Obama is only half black. That means that Kentucky voters are only half racist! YEEEE-HAWWW!

Seriously, go look at the county-by-county results for Kentucky and pay attention to the margin of victory by Clinton in each of the counties. As you get towards the back-woods counties in the eastern part of the state, Clinton wins by 80% or more. As you get towards the more industrialized parts of the state (like Louisville) the race is much tighter. This is not due to a large African American population. This is due to an educational gap. People in larger cities follow the news much closer than those in rural areas. They are exposed to more racially diverse conditions and are much less prejudiced. I'm not saying that rural voters are dumber. They're just more ignorant to the world around them. And ignorance breeds prejudice. Those are just the facts.

Amy Carter.
Caroline Kennedy.
Julie Nixon Eisenhower.

All of them grew up in the White House.

They all support Barack Obama.

Once again, wisdom at its finest.

I cannot imagine why in the world that Carter would endorse Barack Hussein instead of Hillary Clinton? Maybe he too is one of the "Blind" people that are following the "Pied Piper". It is a shame!

We need Hillary Clinton to be the nominee instead of Barack Hussein, for she has the talents, skills, knowledge and experience, and Barack Hussein does not!

Jimmy....go back to your buddies in Lebanon...Quit bothering our America with your egotistical meandering muses. The worst ex-president EVER.

He should shut up cos he is a stupid ignorant idiot. Carter should stop meddling in other peoples affaris make peace with God and get ready to give up the ghost.

Obama should make the decision according to his own feeling. I've even seen Obama supporters who wouldn't vote for him if she was on the ticket!

the decision needs to be free of the influence of people like that.

Why doesn't this guy just shut up? He was the worst President we ever had besides the current Bush idiot.

Or maybe he could go preach to Hamas. Maybe they'll listen to him.

Mr. Carter please go back to Georgia and your peanuts. I don't want Hilary on the losing ticket anyway. It won't matter who Obama wants as his VP he will never win the General Election. Believe me!

Who's to blame for our high gas prices? The oil companies? The Saudis? OPEC? The answer, unfortunately, is closer to home: The "No-We-Can't" Left in Congress.

Last Thursday, with oil at $124 a barrel, liberals on the Senate Appropriations committee voted to block environmentally sound development of oil shale in Colorado.

According to the Investors Business Daily there are an estimated 1 trillion barrels of oil trapped in shale in the U.S. and Canada. Retrieving just a tenth of it would quadruple our current oil reserves.

But the "No-We-Can't" Left in Congress - as they're prone to do - said no, and Americans will pay the price. Colorado Senator Wayne Allard (R) put it best when he said: "If we are really serious about ..

Our energy and environment challenges are real. But America has the technological know-how and the entrepreneurial spirit to overcome them. And, as I pointed out last week, Americans overwhelmingly support more domestic production of energy to help ease gas prices.

We - not the Saudis or the oil companies - control our energy future. We just need the political will to do so.

High energy prices aren't theoretical, they have real consequences for real people. The answer, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan, isn't easy, but it's simple - so simple it could fit on a bumper sticker:

My comment is that if Hillary is not offered the position of Vice President I will not vote for Obama. I will write in Hillary. I set out to vote for Hillary and that's what I'm going to do. I think alot of people share my same views.

With all due respect to President Carter, I have to say that an Obama-Clinton ticket would be a good thing.

Hillary Clinton has a strong base and she will make history by becoming the first woman vice-president. Vice-presidents enjoy most of the same perks as Presidents do- and they can be very influential.

Carter doesn't have direct contact with any of the campaigns. His contacts are strictly with middle-eastern terrorist organizations and local anti-Israel groups.

Who cares what Carter thinks! He was one of the worst president's in history, as are his decision making skills.

He should stick with habitat for humanity and keep his political nose out of our business.

No joint ticket! Hillary Clinton has proven time and time again that she is beyond reasoning. If she truly had wanted to unify the party, she would have conceeded and telling her loyal supporters to vote Democrat instead of inciting a riot within the party because she's not winning.

What does it tell you when more Clinton supporters than Obama supporters would support the other candidate? It's a reflection on their leaders. Those who care about change, and those who care about power and themselves.

he is right, why would Senator Obama bring baggage into his presidency..........
she is divisive, has attacked him over and over again worse than McBush, and GOP_ she is racist
worse of all she is a pathological liar.. liar liar

no more clintons,
to bring her in, is to go against all he stands for, he is for change she is not change
she is the past.. she carries bagagge and she can do better in the senate...

Carter hasn't announced who he's supporting yet because he's trying to decide who will make a worse president than him - Hillary or Barack - thus saving his legacy in the history books from being the worst president in U.S. history.

Who cares what this idiot thinks.

The voice of reason. I think we all tried to give Hillary a chance, but she is simply to divisive. First it was subtle racism, now she's throwing out subtle sexism accusations.

Obama has shown he's "tough" enough on his own – he beat Hillary after all. He easily humiliates McCain and Bush daily. He needs to pick someone that can deliver a rust-belt state: McCaskill, Rendell, or Strickland.

THIS WRETCHED WOMAN HAS ALWAYS DONE THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT SHE HAS SAID, DONT TRUST HER, DONT WANT HER.

This is about the only time in my life I could agree with Jimmy. Senator Obama, just say NO to Hillary. I'm a Republican who will vote for you, UNLESS she's on the ticket.

WE DON'T WANT HILLARY AS VP EITHER. SHE CAN TAKE HERSELF AND HER SUPPORTERS AND HER BALL AND GO VOTE FOR McCAIN.

GOOOOOD! I wish I could just make this font bigger...
