How could he trust her after everything she has said and done? I'm sure she would love to be VP and then she could change the rules as to what that position does. And then she could find something for Bill to do. I'm sure she's qualified to do something good but in another position. She's always been about control and she obviously has her own agenda.

I hope Hillary does not get to be his VP. I would really hate to vote for him. I might, if she is on the ticket. Please say No.. Hillary.
For the first time in my adult life I am truely ashamed of my country. How this nobody who is the biggest flake in history can be the nominee is unbelievable. God help us all. Maybe if we all write Hillary on our ballots in November we can stop this maddness.

Nice try, but we're not buying what you're selling today. Maybe, once we take a look at ALL of the potential candidates, we'll call HRC in for an interview. She'll have to explain how she's going to respond to questions about some of the things she's said during her "kitchen sink (I mean stink) strategy.

So what? Who else would a paper from NY choose? duh.

Since when is it a newspaper's place to endorse a VP candidate?? The choice will be Obama's…

A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…HAHAHAHAHA.

so pathetic.

Clintons, Buh-bye, so long, ciao !

If Obama has her as VP he will get Vince Foster'd

Hillory not…the Honorable Janet Nepolitano - Governor of the State of Arizona - YES.

Teri June 3rd, 2008 7:13 pm ET

I do wonder what will happen with affirmative action programs if Obama does get elected. With an African-American man holding the most important role in the country (and the world) how can anyone claim residual racism. I bet court challenges follow very soon after his swearing in.

NO HILLARY ON THE TICKET……

CLINTONS CAN'T BE TRUSTED

Do not want Obama to pick Hillary as his VP. She only adds more controversy. What will happen when the Peter Paul case comes alive in November. Even if it is after the general, it won't go unnoticed that the Bill Clinton appointed judge made the ruling to delay proceedings, and we do not know what is coming.
When voters are polled, it does not take into account the other possibilities that have the probabability to be more beneficial to defeat the Republicans.
I do hope he places her in his cabinet and that she accepts.

Don't be swayed by these newspapers. Have a Vice President we can trust 100%, not one who promises the world to get elected. Don't ever get Hillary Clinton as your Vice President!

She will never be his VP. He isn't worhy of her wiping her feet on him.

By picking Obama you have made the right choice but now you are making the wrong one.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, New York, you are NOT going to get rid of her that easily!!!!!!!

The image of all these ex-hippy, menopausal women screaming that HRC was CHEATED is so laughable…..plu-ease get a grip. The only people beside this group who want her are a "country folk" who wouldn't vote for Jesus if he were resurrected because he would probably be black!! Hippies and racist, great combo!!!

The smart, the young, the progressive people do not want anything to do with ANY Clinton….I worked on Bill's first campaign…I wouldn't want to see him elected dog catcher….they are PARANOID and believe their own LIES…….and by the way speaking of Clintons….Chelsea…..your fathers affair is OUR BUSINESS….he wasn't a movie star….he was the freakin PRESIDENT!!!!

We do NOT want Hillary on the ticket……if this is going to make you vote for McCain then take your old, racist butt right over to his campaign…I'm sure they'll be happy to have you….you'll fit right in with all the other OLD, RACIST people!!!

the news paper has no right and neither do we.it is up to obama

United We Stand
divided we fall.

And I believe that would come about no matter which delegate wins.

Vote to United Ticket

no thank you.we cant have dirty politicians on our ticket.

NO! Joint ticket is not needed…

McCain would just reuse all crap Clinton has thrown on him. That would diminish THEIR trustworthiness.
Clinton has done McCain's mudslinging for him. To choose her as a running mate would just make Obama appear too weak to manage with the VP (like another President we all know).

90% want the Health Care system to be drastically changed
81% believe we are on the "Wrong Track"
77% disaproving Bush
68% dissaprove of the Iraq war
67% believe in dialogue with the Middle-Eastern states

The Democrats will win the election regardles of whoever are on the ticket.
The avoidance of conflict (no VP Clinton) is to unite the country - not, per se, needed to win.

Well, if Sen. Clinton were VP, at least we'd have ONE person in the White House who knew what she was doing. The prez could sit around with his questionable friends railing on whites while Hillary took care of business, something she's shown over and over she can do–quite well.

Just curious why my comments are always "awaiting moderation."
Even people who post comments after mine, get posted.
Hmmm.. interesting CNN
That' s all I can say…. Interesting!!!

Miss Hillary Clinton
will make poor V. P. No no no no hell no!

…unless Kucinich was VP…

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.

VP would put too many cooks in the kitchen. NY wants to make sure she's not their new governor! Compromise and put her on the Supreme Court.

Ha Ha … they did WHAT ? Who asked THEM ?

If he doesn't put her somewhere he is going to lose in November so Obama supporters get over it because she has over 17 million people to bring to the table.

No!

She has too much baggage, she couldn't stay in the background, and Bill will always be an issue as well.

Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President!

Obama 08′

All these super delegates crossing over before a fair Election takes place, should not be reelected back into office including Mr. Kennedy and Mr. John Cary. And shame on Mr. Carter has been sent so many times thru out the world so he can see fair Elections are held. There is a bad Election taking place in his own Country and won’t say anything I’m referring to Florida and Michigan on how millions Americans votes did not count. Why not have a reelection on both states, it was not the peoples fault on how things were done. Everyone has the right to vote.

Hell yes they'd endorse her for VP….get's her out of NY an lets them find a respectable person to fill her pant suits!

Nice endorsement, but he never said he would accept her as a running mate. I'm sure however that if you polled Obama supporters, more than 50% of them would approve a cabinet position for Hillary. And even if she does get a cabinet job, she must earn it by campaigning hard for Barack Obama and being 100% behind him.

Hey CNN and Republicans, it is not going to happen so, stop trying to force Hillary as Obama's VP. Let her be John McCain's VP.

She deserves it. He can do all the photo shoots and speeches which he likes doing and she can get down to real work and policy delivery which she likes doing.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would have worked afew months ago but now, wrong idea.
New York Newspaper trully knows that the two will erupt with issues that will eventually create sales for the paper….mmmh gotcha!!!!

He needs her to get elected….but guess what???Us Hillary folks will go for McCain first because we will NEVER see him in the White House. And remember, there is about 17.9 million of us and counting! Will be more by Nov when other stuff comes out about him.

Let's honor Obama's right to select his own VP - and not let the media show their ignorance by forcing their choice on him. No way to Hillary as VP,

Ooh, big surprise…

But Obama had better pick her for VP, because everyone knows that Hillary will basically have a tantrum and do anything she can to sabotage the general election (namely, appeal the primary results) unless she is offered a position of power…

The problem with Clinton running as Vice President is her husband. The man is a loose cannon. He is not in control of himself. Additionally, what about governing the country. We need a new, fresh page.

Also, there are a whole lot of Republicans that really dislike the Clintons. They will come out just to vote against the Clintons.

What is it that you people in New York don't understand about the word NO!
Endorse her for your next Governor, the rest of us, don't want any part of her.

Shows how good of an OBSERVER you are!

CLINTON is NOT ELECTABLE!

She is the WORST NIGHTMARE to Obama presidency! She is trying to either destroy Obama now or when he is in the White House!

Clinton is NOT TRUSTWORTHY!

NY just wants to get rid of Clinton.

Obama and….Jim Webb! I would vote.

I switched parties to put some new blood in Washington. Putting the Clintons on the ticket negates that. Guess I'll do as the rabid Clinton supporters do and vote for McCain.

Hillary is what America needs…strength, knowledge, experience and dedication to the people. Obama just talks pretty. He will need Hillary otherwise McCain WILL WIN! She is the strongest candidate to beat McCain. Without her we lose again!!! I am so sad!!

Most comments here of Senator Obama's supporters are just plain pathetic. If Senator Obama is the democratic party nominee, he can not win the presidency without the support of Senator Hillary Clinton. I am one of Senator Clintons supporters and will not vote for Senator Obama even if he select Clinton as his VP running mate. I know there are millions of us out there who will do the same. Anyways, good luck to Senator Obama and his fans who are hallucinating.

I can tell you 1 thing if she is not on the ticket mccain will get my vote period. And you can bet your last dollar that alot of Americans Feel this same way. All this talk about how bad she and how she is hurting the party is pure rubbish. Rock on Hillary.

Never in a million years. The Republicans that intented to vote for Obama will change their minds and the GOP spin machine will keep bringing-up Lewinsky and all the other scandals.

Clinton is done.

Hillary got 17 million votes - he's going to have to put her somewhere in his Cabinet or on the ticket. He's already going to have to VERY hard time going up against someone with McCain's experience with as inexperienced as Obama is in running anything.

I do wonder what will happen with affirmative action programs if Obama does get elected. With an African-American man holding the most important role in the country (and the world) how can anyone claim residual racism. I bet court challenges follow very soon after his swearing in.

Since the McCain campaign is already using Sen. Clinton's own words to demonstrate that even she does not have faith in Sen. Obama's abilities as President I think it would be a mistake to add her to the ticket. I for one would have prefered she not said so many bad things about Sen. Obama, but she did and she will be spending most of her time explaining why now she believes he is going to be a good President than she will trying to run an effecient campaign for the ticket. I praise Sen. Clinton for her campaign, albeit negative, she has paved the way for a more open Democratic party. I hope she sees the good she has done and now concedes the nomination and lets Sen. Obama choose who best would compliment his ticket rather that one who may indeed give the Republicans fuel to criticize a ticket that is not cohesive. Thanks New York but no thanks….

Clinton as VP, hmm…does this have anything to do with her comments about Bobby Kennedy?

So, if Obama refuses to take her in, the question on a lot of Hillary supporter's minds is: What about a McCain/Clinton ticket?

Of course Hillary would accept it - and it doesn't matter that in doing so she flip-flops on almost every single issue that kept her near the top (exceptions being rev wright and a lapel pin): her supporters would continue to support her, instead of what she stands for.

I hope Hillary does not accept Vp.

If you talk about anyone making a mess it is Obama. Just like with the priest situation. How can someone call themselves a man of God and act like that. With all the other idiots in the background laughing in the church.

That is why Obama is not electable.

Florida and Michigan will vote Republican. I am supporting Clinton but will not vote Obama even if she is Vp.

Not now not ever
Moronic Clintonistas she deserves NOTHING her crying and lying and cheating have lost her ANY respect and remove ANY requirement to give her ANYTHING
Moronic Clintonistas

Hiilary I do not trust in any form of Office…OK not true maybe the post office,,,,Hillary for POST MAster General!

NO MORE CLINTONS. Hillary would only spoil Obama's leadership and ruin his dream. She is cold and selfish!!

I'm actually willing to give Hillary a lot of credit for a lifetime of public service, and for generaly having her heart in the right place.

That having been said, what would it say about a campaign that has been about change, and turning its back on the old ways and the old politics of attack and divide, to take on a running mate who has been all about the old politics? Also, he's made his campaign about integrity, and she's proven herself to be a bit veracity-challenged.

I think Obama has to go with a running mate who's a better fit for him and his campaign.

DON'T DO IT HILARY!! no matter what obama is a BAD BAD choice for president.

McCain 2008

Wait a minute! Yesterday neither Clinton, Ickes or McAuliffe wanted to even talk about the possibility that Obama would be the nominee, they did not have the ability to use foresight according to their argument b/c every time they were asked if she would concede to Obama they said Clinton was going to be the nominee. Now today, even before the last two primaries that they eagerly await and before Obama is officially declared the nominee she can see herself as VP? Huh?

Obama - just SAY NO!! How can you have someone on your ticket who won't even concede tonight after you have the delegates and whose major argument is that you won't be elected because she's better than you? Don't you need someone on your team who believes in you? Don't do it if you want to keep me and millions of others as supporters. We voted for you because you are different and she is not. She has been rejected, do not put her on the ticket!

Good choice - if she'll put up with him.

As far as I am concerned, Obama pales when you compare him to Hillary. If both were applying for a job in any company, Hillary would have gotten the job hands down.

((Ruth M))) Well the truth is in the pudding..isn't it????/ Its OBAMA on the way to winning the nomination….Now isn't it…….
So HILLARY didn't get "that JOB"!!!!!!!
Get on board or vote for MCcain……

Well, as a registered third party member who thinks that the last eight years have seen the worst administration during my lifetime, I have to say that without Clinton on the ticket, I likely will vote for Obama, but if she is on the ticket, I probably will stick with my third party choice.

The nice things about becoming the nominee, is you get to pick your own VP. Obama could never take Clinton because of all the nasty things she has said over the course of this race. Clinton destroyed her own chances. Obama stands for change, and with Clinton you get more of the same. Both Clinton would be too much baggage for Obama.

The freedome to choose your own running mate!!!!

Hillary Supporter, Jan 08: Obama is not electable.
Hillary Suppoter, Mar 08: Obama is not electable!
Hillary Suppoter, Apr 08: Obama is NOT ELECTABLE!
Hillary Suppoter, Jun 08: OBAMA IS NOT ELECTABLE!!!11!!!1!

Yeah, we get it. Thanks, but no thanks. America has decided on whether he's electable or not.

BECAUSE OF ALL YOU IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR OBAMA, YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER. OBAMA IS NOT ELECTABLE. GO JOHN MCCAIN.

Don't listen to them Obama. Way too much baggage comes with the Clinton's. You'll spend too much time trying to clean up her and Bill's messes. Way too many other well qualified candidates to consider. Just say no!

if obama wants those 17 million voters he better take her or the party will lose the whitehouse again. the news media has shoved obama on us all year, i really don,t think obama can carry this election without her. he need her she dosen,t need him she still has whatever she wants before her. also LAY OFF BILL HES JUST PROTECTING HIS WIFE. im sure she can answer for herself but the news media would attack her so bill does it for her.

Endorse this! Obama won this fair and square and should choose whomever he believes would be best for his presidency. It sure as hell isn't Hillary, I can tell you that.

She isn't entitled to the Vice Presidency as much as her sour, vitriolic supporters might argue. She lost. Perhaps a cabinet position or AG, but no way VP.

We have already seen Hillary serve as co-president. As I recall she did not do very well with Health Care. I am supporting Obama in hopes he keeps his word and brings CHANGE. I will not support another Hillary co-presidency and just more of the same.

New York Times, I think you guys are the epitome of hypocricy!

First you endorse her for President, then you SLAM her…

Now you're endorsing her for VP? Are you guys on drugs? Hillary supporters NO NOT WANT the VP position for Hillary, because that would mean we're STILL VOTING FOR OBAMA!

No thank you.

HILLARY'S A FLIP FLOPPER!

First she says she's still in this race "100%", then she talks about wanting to be VP!
Which is it, Hillary?

I do hope this is a joke!. I cann't see Obama allowing this. It would destroy everything he stands for and want for this country.

NO….NO….NO

LETS JUST NOT FORGET WE NOMINATED BARACK TO REPRESENT US.SO WHEN JOHN MC.SAME SAYS SOMETHING SUCH AS "APPEASER" TO HIM,HE'S ALSO CALLING US THAT.BARACK IS JUST A VOICE REPRESENTING US.
LETS TAKE BACK THE WHITE HOUSE TOGETHER!
OBAMA08,09,12

Hijackers! Hijackers! IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!! The more she pushes for it, the more likely she won't get it. If he were to agree, it would only look like he is taking orders from her.

Clinton brings her supporters for the election and that's good. The problem is, after the election, all the new scandals that the Clintons could bring to the Obama Administration could cost him reelection in four years and undermine an administration of integrity and transparency.

I think bringing Clinton in as VP would completely undermine what Obama is trying to do and it's a shame that her supporters are so short-sighted as to make threats so a woman can be in power.

She'd be better suited as Secretary of State. She is very disciplined when she wants to be and I think she'd be great at talking foreign leaders into seeing things the way she wants them to. Hell, she convinced us all to revisit FL and MI well into the primary, when she was losing. She got away with convincing us of that. She would be great as Secretary of State and would have a lot more to do and than sitting in a VP slot.

Just my opinion.

How much did she pay the paper to put that garbage out!!! She and Bill are the reason there is so much hatred in the race….she does not deserve anything but a one way ticket back to NY or whatever other state she doesn't live in and wants to lead!!!!

The Clinton's has fought a good fight, has run a good race, now do you really feel that you're the right person to be vice. Nope I don't think so, but maybe somewhere in President Obama's cabin but not vice,

Idiots!

Hillary should NOT even be a member of the Dem party, after this process.

Hillary does NOT have the experience needed. She has been running under Bill's past fortunes. But Bill has screwed all this stuff; so Hillary's service is useless!

New York Observer–not New York Times

not a chance in hell, she can ask mccain may be he will hire her.

One word - no. I can't vote for a ticket with her on it, even though I firmly support Obama.

Obama/Clinton a "Blowout"??? Yeah, a blowout for McCain.

Once McCain gets Obama in a debate, without Obama's prepared script, he will slaughter him. Obama looked like an overmatched high schooler in debates against Clinton.

McCain '08!

It's typical Hillary Clinton campaign tactics to try and muscle her way into the VP position. It's selfilsh and intentional to turn the focus to her. He probably will end up choosing her or else as she has proven she will divide the party. Hillary's people came out by the millions that's undeniable, they worked hard, and raised millions in campaign contributions. Had she been gracious enough to allow his campaign the opportunity to celebrate it would have at least appeared genuine. I think when she endorsed McCain over Obama she crossed the line of no return.

Exactly, Peter E @0628 pm, there has been and continues to be emothional junk from supporters of both camps. The supporters are not the candidates and people need to calm down.
Both Senators are good people who deserve the respect and time to make their own decisions going forward. For the good of the party and country, we Democrats should step back and start to focus on the Republicans, John McCain and the issues that unite us, the majority of Americans.
We, the peope, are the ones with the ability to change the direction and future of the country. We will live and die by the outcome of the vote in November. Anger and bitterness are not good guidelines by which to make important decisions.

I am absolutely in support of the New York newspaper for its' endorsement of Senator Clinton to be the number 2 Lady for the ticket of the Presidency. I urge Senator Obama to consider Hillary Clinton for number two spot. We have to go through the healing process fast to take on John McCain in November. I do not want us to repeat what happened in the year 2000 where Florida election was stolen for Bush. We need to defeat the Senator McCain hands down. To do that effectively, Senator Clinton has to be on the ticket. I will be more than pleased if Senator Obama will adhere to such request. I am a strong suporter of Senator Obama throughout the primary.

Dr. Joseph Akomodi
New York, USA.

If Obama wins the White House does that mean all affirmation action programs will be suspened?

from middle aged angry white voter…..

Don't think for a momnet that Hillary Clinton's backers are going to back Obama. Everywhere we go, they are already jumping ship to McCain. As much as I hate to see it, there's going to be another Republican in the whitehouse. If the people I talk to are examples of what's going to happen, my state is going Republican once again.
The Democrats just never learn.

As far as I am concerned, Obama pales when you compare him to Hillary. If both were applying for a job in any company, Hillary would have gotten the job hands down.

It ain't his skin people. It's his inexperience but then he speaks real pretty doesn't he? Talking the talk is one thing, but walking the walk is another.

You ain't seen nothing yet. I hope Obama can take the heat because it's going to get hot in the kitchen.

Heaven help us.

Sam Nunn - V.P.
H. Clinton - Sec. of State
C. Powell - Sec. of Defense
J. Edwards - Atty. General
R. Reich - Chief of Staff

Forget it… squeaky wheel should NOT get the oil. Her followers have been acting like a bunch of spoiled brats so let them go vote for McCain (and vote away healthcare, job security, housing, social security …).

I just don't understand what some people are thinking putting Hillary on a ticket as v.p. If she is so interested in protecting and lifting up the party, she would find a way to back Obama and rally her delegates, superdelegates, and voters behind Obama. She would then let him offer the position to her instead playing political games and trying to corner him and members of the Democratic party. For her supporters who refuse to vote for Obama it is her duty and obligation to the party to change their minds and unite everyone instread of letting them flee to the GOP for non political reason. After all she is losing, why does she get to call the shots?

I think all Clinton would do as VP would be to try and act like the President and impose her policy decisions on everyone else. I am not in favor of a co-presidency or a vice president that will no doubt constantly compete for attention and power.

NEVER!!! Clinton would backstab Obama for 4 years. DON'T DO IT!!! Whenever has a newspaper been able to put pressure on a decision of this magnitude. Reporting accurate events is a task for them within itself.

NEVER! Don't do it Obama.!

NO NO NO!

obama and clinton a good ideal doing so,definately they will defeat mc cain.

Hillary will succeed no matter where she ends up.

I detest Obama but would vote for Hillary as VP.

Whether or not Hillary is asked to be VP, she has the more interesting set of choices before. Obama WILL be the democratic nominee. But at this moment, it is Hillary Clinton who now stands to reshape America. THIS will be her defining moment as a politician. I have hope that she will do the right thing.

I really hope he does not choose her. She has strong-armed her way into this. in fact, i suspect she has known for some time she would not win the nomination outright, so she has stayed in so she could rile her supporters into a frenzy so Obama would be forced into offering her th slot.

Ugh. So she can look over his shoulder and try to force him to adopt her policies?

No thanks.

Please pick someone else, Obama. Please. I'll still vote for you with Clinton on the ticket, because I am a DEMOCRAT. But I hope you pick someone else.

newspapers do not dictate who represents the people. at least, they don't under an obama administration.

She ran a dirty, smear and fear campaign, and now she wants the VP slot? Obama better be careful, because she represents everything that he stands against! How he will justify choosing her I have no idea.

Hillary will have to work very hard to convince Barack that she would be a good VP. From what we have seen so far - she is far from being good at ANYTHING.

Dems are so split, this is the only logical choice. Anything to beat the Republicans.

Should Hillary be on the ticket, I won't vote in November. She and Bill Geraldine Ferraro, Harold Ickey and James Carville have burned to many bridges for me. To reward her after all the damage she has done to the party and to Obama's image in the media, would be anathama but the Republicans will love it. Give her some any other job but VP.

NO NO NONO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let Obama choose from viable canidates not just to accomadate.

Haha…they just want her out of New York!

Let's honor Obama's right to select his own VP - and not let the media show their ignorance by forcing their choice on him.

He'll choose who he wants to for the VP spot. Speculate all you want, but it's ultimately HIS decision of who he can work best with over the next 8 years. I highly doubt she'd allow him to accomplish anything.

If Obama wants to win, he should be bold enpugh to offer Hillary the number two spot. The late President Kennedy did it and he won the election. Hillary has alot to offer, and majority of her supporters will be energise and will work to see that Obama wins the presidency. In any case, I predict that Obama will be too afraid to offer the position to Hillary. His supporters like the Kennedys, Kerry, Speaker Polosi and company will not let it happen. On that account there will be president elect John McCain come November 5, 2008.

Clinton took the Democratic Party to Def Con 1, and now she wants the VP seat.? Hell no!! I would let her keep running, switch parties, protest on the convention floor, or whatever tantrum she wanted to have. Whatever experience she had obviously did not help her win the nomination. If she got beat by a rookie, McCain would surely beat her. She has proven her interests are elevated above the parties interests. Republicans mouths are watering, hoping she will get the VP spot. Then they can let all Hell rain down on the hopes of the Democratic party, I would rather take my chances ith "inexperienced" candidates.

The other media sources have Obama 9-10 delegates from the nomination. CNN has Obama 12 delegates away. Why?

Just keep her under control. I would rather see her as secretary of state.

Anyone foolish enough to pick Billary as their VP may also want to increase their life insurance coverage……..just ask Vince Foster. Ummmm…never mind.

How can any one honestly suggest Clinton as VP after the negative campaign she has waged against Obama? This is his campaign, his vision, and he needs to have the freedom to choose who stands beside him. Please, party leaders, don't force Clinton on him! She stands for everything he is against.

So, she can become the President IF something happens to Obama in the next four years like many of Clintons Closed Friends who died during his presidency. Don't fall to this new trick, Obama.

I hope this happens, and of course she would be loyal!!

Let me guess these peeps endorsed her…please Obama N-O…seriously if you chose her then your platform is a lie…I'm about to email his campaign and say if he wants my $20 and support then PLEASE NO!!!

I am coming out and endorsing Hillary for Vice President!

their

I think an Obama/Clinton ticket is an excellent way to unite the party. People came out in record numbers to cast their votes in the primaries. Many for Obama and many for Clinton. All the naysayers who claim they did not vote for Obama to put Clinton in office, should remember that everyone who voted for Clinton did not vote to put Obama in office.

The New York Observer Op/Ed staff recognized the need for Democratic Party unity. By her own efforts Hillary Cinton has called for that same unity with the offer to be Barack Obama's running mate. To solidify all this, to put the icing on the cake so to speak, Obama must select Clinton as his running mate. If he doesn't the Democratic Party will remain divided. It's now up to Obama to finally unify the democrats.

The New York Observer can endorse whoever they want for VP. Obama makes that decision himself. I'm sure that he will make an educated choice and will not be pressured by anyone. Is that not why we chose him to lead the Democrats to the white house? I'm also sure that he knows what a mistake that would be.

Obama/08

Whatever beats McCain. I'm with you ErinOK

Don't do it, Hillary. Don't get attached to this radical left wing mess.
Show a little backbone and tell Obama NO NO NO !!

Nice to see the Obama channel….ooops I mean CNN has been so bias with there reporting. Obama could only hope Clinton would want to be on the ticket with a loser such as OBama

I do not believe that Hilary Clinton should be the VP of Obama. She has too much baggage. Obama would have to take her and Bill and all the negative things that come with them. No way.

Whatever beats McCain. We need to focus on the real opponent.

Peter E……Well said. Exactly

Obama/Clinton would be a blowout

I saw this coming all along.

And it is…

Obama/Clinton country!!!

The problem with this is HOW faithful Hillary will be; she can do anything, anything at all to achieve her aim. She should first of all go back to where she has caused division and make things up……like White women and blue colar workers, then we take it from there.

General Wesley Clark would be a better choice of VP for Barack Obama. He needs someone with solid military and diplomatic experience.

SHAME ON HILLARY FOR CORNERING OBAMA.

IT'S NOT THE NEWSPAPERS PLACE TO DECIDE.

THE CHOICE IS OBAMA'S ALONE AND I HOPE HE WILL NOT CHOOSE HILLARY FOR VP, IT'S A BIG MISTAKE.

FEMALE FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTER.

For all the criticism Obama supporters lay at Hillary supporters for picking McCain, they sure seem to demonstrate their own party loyalty when they scream 'I will vote for McCane instead if Hillary is on the ticket.' Hypocrites!

Nice trick Clinton!

I would disappointed if chooses Clinton for VP. There are hundreds of qualified people than Hillary. The only reason Hillary was winning in some states was because of her name. Barack needs someone who has some experience.

Never never never..Hillary should not his VP..never

Now there's a newspaper that should line the bottom of a birdcage.
Don't do it Obama.

This is great news! I am so happy to see the New York Times and other newspapers and groups finally supporting the idea of Obama and Hilary on the same ticket. I think it would unite the party, and be the best thing for the country. I like both of them for different reasons, and I believe that together they will beat John McCain in November by a landslide, and send a powerful message of unity and positive change to the rest of the world.

Another Joke???? Another Rush for Decission… Obama…. Heed the Grammar……. He will never be!!!! CIC!!! You still don't get…. Why?
Even!!!! The New York Observer. Is Blind, to the Inevitable… Borack Obama, is not Electable……

No way. Obama camp…..please don't let this happen. With all due respect for the Clintons……Your message of 'change' is stronger than them. You will win in November……by yourself….by a landslide.

And this means what?

I hope Hillary,tells Mr Barack,where he can put his VP offer!
I will Not vote for Barack,no way no how!!!!!!!

Excellent thought! Obama is such a nice guy and he wouldn't mind doing that.

She would be better off holding until 2012 she souldnt have to carry his baggage and when he losses in NOV she will have a better chance the next time around.

Obama doesn't need Clinton to win!

I don't think that's right. Let him decide by himself.

Can we celebrate Obama's history making win today,,,,PLEASE??? They're really wanting to rain on Obama's parade these people!!

I believe that choice should be his. I'm sure there are other women that qualify for the job. I do not see Senator Clinton as being the VP for Senator Obama. We do not need anymore Bill and Hillary in or around the White House.

Of course they do… It's the only thing that could save Obama from the Republicans…

Geez..
I guess her campaigning does continue…..

Obama and voters should determine that and not any media outlet

I think Obama earned the right to pick his running mate. He will look who he can work with, complements him, will help his cause and who he can trust. I am very doubtful (maybe just hopeful) that this will not be Hillary Clinton!
The Clintons would try to steal the show and that's absolutely not what this country needs!!

Obama only needs 12 more superdelegates to win tonight!

We don't want Hillary on our ticket!

Go Obama!

This whole race has been a crock. Hillary was robbed and if I were Obama's opponent, I'd watch my back..he's klnown for eliminating them before the vote even goes to ballot. Bullocks.

Why should he pick her… she has been vicious, racist, etc during this entire campain. the media is lying…. I don't know anyone that supports Obama that wants her. And what about that so called list of folks who died affiliated with and and Bill. Get REAL. Obama, please don't choose her… SHE DOES NOT DESERVE IT. She thinks cause she is white she deserves it. Not the case.

I honestly think she would be a good pick for VP. Although many think that she wouldn't. We need to have the best chance possible to win in November.

Do we need to hear about the Clintons in the news for four more years?

I will kiss Obama goodbye if Hillary is on his ticket.
Neither we nor Obama should take such a risk.

President McCain 2009!!!
He may be old, but we can concentrate on the issues rather than this Clinton soap opera and laughing stock around the 'free' world.

NO WAY

I will endorse Hillary for VP. And I'll be really happy.

Obama for President.
Raz

I thought that he was too unelectable and unfit? Now watch her and her supporters tell everyone that he needs her to be vp. If Obama was smart,
he would run as far away from this woman as possible. Who needs who
now?

Why?

No No No anyone for VP but No to Hilary

Probably because they don't want her to be Gov. of their state

This would be a very bad move on their part if Obama picks her to be the VP.

How can Obama have Clinton on his ticket while the Republicans are using HER comments in ads against him? It isn't up to anyone else who the winner picks and people and the media should let things settle down and quit pandering to the Clintons..

The NYT would be more helpful if it ran ads for donations to pay off the debts she has due to her excesses and squandering donations early in the race..

Dear God, …No!!!!!!

SPEECHLESS

THE NY TIME NEED TO GO AWAY PERIOD.

ALL 18 MILLION OF US MUST UNITE AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN, SO WE CAN SEND A STRONG MESSAGET TO THE PARTY LEADER AND THE WHOLE MEDIA NOT TO MESS THE HILLARY AND HER SUPPORTER EVER AGAIN.

GO TEAM HILLARY!

they would ,
they are new yorkers
tell them to fix wall st, first… maybe what they say will count then.

Well, if that paper wants it, then it must be a good idea

What they don't want her to come back and be Governor of New York?

I would not be comfortable with HRC on the ticket.

Who asked you????

Obama/Sebelius08 NoClinton. Bridge burned.

Go away PLEASE!!!!!!

Obama 08

Sorry,

On the Super Delegates and Senator Obama have a say so…..

Stop, you had your chance to shap the ticket and if you haven't notice that past with Hillary Clinton….
