Sanford isn't hinting he wants to be VP.
Sanford isn't hinting he wants to be VP.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford continues to see his name floated in the GOP veepstakes — but he’s still not dropping any hints that he wants the job.

On CNN’s “Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer” yesterday, Blitzer asked Sanford: “You want to be the running mate?”

“No, I'm just trying to survive the week,” Sanford responded. “I made it to Sunday. I got another week ahead of me.”

“What's wrong with being vice president of the United States?,” Blitzer asked.

“There's nothing wrong with being president, there's nothing wrong with being president, there's nothing wrong with being vice president,” Sanford said. “But it's not on my radar screen. I'll worry about that lightning strike if it comes my way.”

Sanford told the Washington Post last year that if the GOP nominee inquired about putting him on the presidential ticket that he would at least entertain the idea. "Of course I'd take the call,” he said at the time.

The fiscal hawk is popular vice presidential option among conservatives, but some McCain insiders say Sanford may have damaged his chances by not endorsing the Arizona senator before the South Carolina primary in January. Sanford, as a congressman, had endorsed McCain during his 2000 bid.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of McCain’s closest advisers, appeared to pour cold water on Sanford’s chances in March, noting that Sanford has had a “tough” tenure as governor.

"To be honest with you, I don't see any of us in South Carolina bringing a whole lot of value to the ticket,” Graham told The State newspaper. “We're talking about winning a national race that's going to be very competitive."

Obama's delegates are actually 8% more than Clintons
He has continuously led be 150 to 250 delegates in the last 3 months. He will win the nomination.

Oh you poor Democrats,you cant even run your party more less run our country. You Obama poster boy is already exposed.

GO John MCcain !!!!!

Many moderate, centrist liberal democrats will prefer a McCain presidency to the totalitarian regime of the leftist Obama. But we would rather if you all joined us in writing in Hillary Clinton, instead.

Already the DEMS have been hammered into silence just for trying to vett and question Obama. Already the mighty Obama propaganda machine has succeeded in trampling right over logic, reason, experience and qualifications- just look at the attacks on Hillary Clinton- the cleary better and more qualified democratic candidate.

Don't let the Obama bandwagon roll over America like the dictators of Germany and Italy swept over their nations fueled by the support of an adoring and worshipping youth. Obama has inspired a vast but ignorant youth following and propelled himself into a God-like status in their eyes. Propaganda is creating the illusion that perception is truth.

Will the Republicans and Hillary DEMS lose to this demagogue or can we UNITE, as concerned Americans against this threat?

Voter   June 2nd, 2008 2:32 pm ET

I am so incredibly impressed that Hillary Clinton, true to her word as usual, is going to the very end with this thing. Just imagine how hard she'd fight for YOU as president. She's no quitter. Win or lose, she's not backing down. Winning candidates always pay off each other's debts, so that's irrelevant. But no more Clintons, that IS relevant.

The bad old days of 22 million new jobs, a balanced budget, no deficit, a strong dollar, help to pay college tuition, lower interest rates on credit and mortgage and student loans, welfare under control at long last and the Earned Income Tax Credit - the best thing that ever happened to working poor. What's to miss on that list?

Has it ever occurred to you people who say "Obama will lose" that IF he loses, it won't be because he's a "weaker" candidate but because you have voted AGAINST your interests (since Obama and Clinton have similar policies) and for a man that is total opposite, out of mere spite?

So when the country's going to hell with McCain at the wheel, blame yourself for voting for him.

renee   June 2nd, 2008 2:28 pm ET

I am a 41year old black women living in north carolina and I was going to vote surport hillary in the beginning until I seen Barack Obama that's when heard barack one of his speeches. I change my mine because i just know that he would be the nominee of my party first of all it was where he stood on the issues and then second it was that he was africa america this has been along road for both parties hillary and barack my point is that I was perpared to vote hillary if she was the nominee but the way some of surporters show out at the DNC conference the other day it showed me that either they didn't wont a black man to be the nominee just that bad, or they are just that uneducated where they could not know that it was not all that serious where they were crying and about to go into cardiac arrest is just not worth my health or anything else for that fact but it made me feel so kind of good to walk into my polling place to cast my vote for africa america a opportunity that this country has never had in this america history I'm ready to turn the page and be part of writeing the next chapter in america history …

As a Hillary supporter, I really wish Hillary would run with McCain as his VP. Having said that, the entire Hispanic community will vote for McCain/Hillary! and your guy will lose!

right to left   June 2nd, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Susan you are right.

Obama probably could sleep walk his way to the presidency by default- playing on the anger and bitterness of Americans after the 8 long Bush years.

But why settle for a sleepwalker?

Why not vote your conscience instead and simply vote for the best candidate out there- HRC.

Join the write in Hillary Clinton campaign.

Susan   June 2nd, 2008 2:23 pm ET

You Republicans are blind.

The Country is in such a bad way, that Obama can sleep-walk his way into the presidency.

Darth,
You are right- after Bush, an Ape might do better.

But why not vote for a real Human Being- who is qualified, experienced, tough and able to lead?

Why not vote for Hillary Clinton- just write her name in.

Darth Vadik, CA   June 2nd, 2008 2:20 pm ET

I've said it before.
After Bush, an Ape would do better.
That is why I am voting for Obama.

Do not waste your vote on McCain. Rally behind the only viable candidate- Hillary Clinton- and join the movement to write her in in Nov.

Let the chips fall where they may and if Mc'Bush wins, so be it.

Sue   June 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

But the real reason for Obama’s extraordinary freakout is that he fears the release of the videotape, reported here, of Michelle Obama in the pulpit of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church railing against “whitey.” And we don’t mean Whitey Ford. Four Republican sources have told me that the tape exists. I’ve also been informed that Karl Rove and his allies have a copy of it and are using it to raise funds for independent expenditure groups. The tape, I’m told, will be disclosed as the GOP October Surprise. It’s a ticking time bomb.

And I’ve learned that a right-wing Republican billionaire has put a $1 million bounty on the video. He doesn’t want John McCain to win, like a number of conservatives, and thinks Obama is a pathetically weak candidate. The billionaire wants that video released now.

Tony   June 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Hey Governor! Thinbk twice about running with a LOSER! Doesn't look too good on your resume!

Randy - Denver   June 2nd, 2008 2:04 pm ET

Not sure if this is the right choice for Mr. McCain, I would think he needs someone with a bit more "flair" who is well known for domestic issues to counter-balance Mr. McCain's belief that he is strong on foreign issues.

However, since it appears (and has appeared for a while) that Mr. Obama will finally wrap up the Democratic Nomination tomorrow. I personally do not care who Mr. McCain brings in as his VP (I would not be surprised if it were Lieberman actually). I will be supporting and voting for Mr. Obama come November.

Obama/Sebelius '08!

Rick in Florida   June 2nd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

If so many Hillary supporters plan to vote for McCain anyway, it should be a good choice for John McCain to consider her.

Then WE won't have to deal with her anymore…..or Bill (just read the July issue of VANITY FAIR to see what SCANDALS are coming next for good old Bill !!

MORE REASONS not to have Hillary on our ticket !!

Mike   June 2nd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

I remember as a kid how I supported the Vietnam war. This was because my leaders instilled fear in me that if we retreated from Vietnam, all of Asia would be over run by Communism. Of course we now know that it was all lies. Vietnam is at peace with all of it’s neighbors and thousands of fine young Americans died for nothing. Now McCain tries to instill this same fear in this generation. Again it is a lie. When we leave Iraq they will work out their own problems in their own way.

Phil   June 2nd, 2008 1:54 pm ET

People, quit worrying that Hillary has "something up her sleeve." The party chooses the nominee, not Hillary. There isn't anything she can do, she can't "sue" to win the race. The courts have already ruled that they have no jurisdiction in how primaries pick their candidates, it's up to the party. And we can tell which way they are leaning.

At this point, the only likely reason she is still running is to repay her campaign loans from herself.

If she is dissatisfied with the Democrat party, she needs to leave it.
She should've left at the start of the race however, if that was her intention. Complaining about the rules only once its clear that they do not favor you is very, very poor sportsmanship.

enomisa   June 2nd, 2008 1:51 pm ET

This is the same group who harbors hate and sponsors terror.

Sinister moves.

QUEEN X   June 2nd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Let's face it; there are people who would not vote for Sen. Obama under any circumstance, not even if their god or whatever entity they honor instructed them to. Those hate mongers and bitter people have no political savvy and cannot even have an intelligent debate without spewing venom (their limited resource for discussion). They are not even in Sen. Obama’s equation for victory; their votes have already been deducted from his tally ergo, no one is crying over their vote.

Dave   June 2nd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Great choice! I am now a Democrat who will be voting Republican this year. Some Obama supporters have, as usual, bashed anyone that doesn't agree with them. I got turned off to Obama because of his supporters being so nasty to others. At least, we know who McCain is-good or bad-and who really knows Obama?

Tony   June 2nd, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Pete, the Clinton supporters are smart enough to understand that your candidate doesn't qualify for the job he's applying for. I will become an Independent and vote for McCain (experience v. a rock star).

I would think that since this guy has said no it is less likely that he would be offered the job of V.P. (or at least be on the ticket. Because of Obama's strong win among African-Americans and some swing voters, it is less likely that anyone from SOuth Carolina and other Southern states will help enough to get McCain elected.

AJ   June 2nd, 2008 1:31 pm ET

I wouldn’t be surprised. While Obama and his disgusting wife may hate white people, he knows having another black on the ticket will surely sink his chances. Otherwise it would be VP Al Sharpton or VP Oprah. I can’t wait to see the republicans rip Obama to shreds in November.

"The fiscal hawk is popular vice presidential option among conservatives, but some McCain insiders say Sanford may have damaged his chances by not endorsing the Arizona senator before the South Carolina primary in January"

He doesn't care about the American people and their sons and daughter's dying in a war that was UNNECESSARY!

I hope everyone realizes that Clinton wants Obama to lose and that she is doing this on purpose… The longer she stays in and splits the party, the easier it will be for McCain… Then four years from now, after McCains first term, Clinton can run again… If Obama were to be elected president, she would have to wait eight years to try and run again…

This is just another move by Clinton to get what she wants, not truely caring about the citizens of the USA and it military members…

Oh, and from being in the military and from a military family, I know that the Clintons don't care about the military…

Sanford is non-factor in South Carolina. His main goal was to bring School-Choice to SC, but the people of SC voted in a Democrat as Superintendent to stop him from doing it. Thats right, the only Democrat elected to a South Carolina state office in 2006 was Jim Rex, and only because he was against Sanfords inane silly idea.
If SC would actually wake up and listen, they would see as a state we are closer to the Democrats than Republicans. However, most don't vote because they think the Southern Baptist own the state. However, they don't, and it is a shame we let them pretend they do.

We are going to need a stable, reliable, honest nominee with knowlege and wisdom to run against the republicans (Obama). And
We are also going to need a fighter who will fight dirty and won't care if she's talked about or picked on. (Because Mccain is not going to run a clean campaign). If Hillary is willing to unite the democratic party and use her fighting spirit against the republicans then an Obama-Clinton ticket is awesome. It's like playing nice and dirty as the same time. With these two different personalities the republicans don't stand a chance in the General elections. The republicans won't know how to handle Obama and Hillary. As far as the democratic party with these two.. It's a winning ticket all the way if the democratic party unite.

So if you don't a candidate early, then you reduce your chance of being considered as a vice president nominee? And these individuals are the ones who run and lead this nation? Maybe I'm old fashion but whos is crazier; the candidate who doesn't consider the nominee because he did not endorse him early enough; or the individual who accepts vice president nominee of offer? Sound like a series on Sesame Stree……one of these things belong to another, one of these things are not the same……..we all need to start looking for another country to live in.
