As the veepstakes heat up, CNN Political Producer Alan Silverleib weighs the pros and cons of 10 possible choices for each party - from the familiar figures to the dark horses.
I just hope and pray that Hillary makes it No where near the White House. She would destroy this country just like she's trying to destroy everything else.

I imagine Obama will have Farakahn as veep. Might as well sell the country all the way down the river and give his hate filled supporters all the power they have been bullying for.

Obama needs an older white guy on his ticket.
McCain needs a younger black guy on his ticket.

Whomever Obama picks, this person would be favorable in all states that for sure. Then, McCain will be facing is worst nightmare.

ANGEL, Clinton and Obama together would unite the party...but unite the independant and republicans with McCain. In other words, you lose.

I still think Obama should choose Hillary Clinton even after all the mischief she is causing. They just need to bar Bill Clinton from coming anywhere near thje White House or any interns working there.

I am sure that Senator Obama is smart enought and wise enough to choose a VP that will fit in with a President Obama's White House. I don't understand how or why Senator Obama should be bullied by the Clinton 's to give HRC the VP spot. Bill Clinton is the problem not HRC. He would undermind an Obama Presidency, Pres. Obama would have to deal with their baggage and besides she still has many opportunities that will give her all the power she is looking for. Who cares what Hillery wants. I find is rediculous to think that the Obama campaign has to be concerned about what to do with Hillery. Don't you have enough problems and stress. The Clinton's believe that the Presidential position is their legacy. It isn't and no one should be pressuring or bulling Senator Obama into his choice for a VP.

Well we all know that Obama will be getting the nomination so I would like to see either Bill Richardson as his running mate or maybe Kathleen Sebelius or Ed Rendell. Mostly I want Richardson though!!!

I think its time for the HRC supporters to switch over to McCain (17 million). THat will be a strong protest to destroy Obama in a landslide in November to show his horrible and belittling supporters how they screwed up america.

Anyone but the Clinton's (yes, the Clinton's) don't think for one minute that bill and hillary aren't in this together, they would both be VP if they had it their way.
They are both divisive, complaining, whining, psycologically disturbed, delusional people who deserve each other, and I am convinced they are not concerned about this country at all. They want power for powers sake, not because they care about America, they care about themselves, period.

I don't care who Obama chooses for VP, should he get the nomination. He will not get my Democratic vote.
I don't care who McCain chooses for VP either.....but he WILL get my Democratic vote!

NOT Hillary due to her lies, refusal to play by the rules, tearing up when in political trouble, attempts to play the race card, poorly run campaign, "misspeaks," HUGE DEBT which she continues to loan her money to, and negativity. Although I would absolutely love to have a woman president or VP one day, she has shown herself unworthy. To saddle Obama with her and ignore all of her actions during this campaign due to her being female with a female following would be counterproductive for the future of women in this country and the country as a whole. Obama needs a positive VP who is complementary to his change message which resonates with Americans.

CNN why haven't you updated the delegate count since last Friday. Through the weekend till today, I believe Obama has picked up 7-8 delegates and HRC lost 1 and picked up 1, netting 0. Update now.
