Hmm, looks like Hillary isn't an automatic "shoo-in" after all for VP. There are plenty of other inspiring candidates besides "bitter" Hillary for VP to augment Obama's CHANGE message who can bring in the white female and white undereducated males to the general election. The longer Hillary whines, complains and denies the inevitable, the tougher it'll be for her to become VP or get Obama to reimburse her for lost $11.4 million "loan".
Should be a real hoot now….:)

I love you Caroline Kennedy. I really do. May God bless you for supporting a man I regard as a brother.

Chula: You are highly confused and disillusioned.

These avid Clinton supporters need to take sedatives…first of all. Then they need to realize that due to her MANY highly negative attack statements about Obama during the primary season, she has ruined her own chance at VP practically. Hillary and Bill have stuck their own feet in their own mouths with this one.

Thank goodness a Kennedy knows that Hillary is NOT the anointed VP for Obama

I think the person he should pick is sitting right next to him "Caroline Kennedy, now thats a dream ticket.

And we might add from the NW
Seattle/Portland area….
Senator Hillary Clinton would not be a good choice
for VP considering all that she has said about Obama

Instead…a cabinet position or a crusader for Children

Obama 2008

I am sure this panel will suggest a perfect VP for Obama

Some are threating to vote for McCain if Hillary is not the VP.
To them I say it is a free country . Apparently they have more money than I do.
$15.27 bought 2.5 gallons of gas; one box of Cherrios and a half gallon of milk. I can't afford another Republican administraion.
I would vote for Bugs Bunny if that were the Democrat nominee before I will vote for a Republican

In my opinion, Hillary should not accept the VP position. She should run as an independent candidate and win the election in the Fall when the Florida and Michigan are not penalize for early voting and when all votes are counted. That will show how fool the DNC was to pick Obama. Hillary has the most popular votes than any other candidates and she alway fight for American people. She is an excellent leader who understand people and who can help to solve the problems that we face now. I hope to see her run as an independent candidate like Joe Lieberman did in 2006 and win the election.

18 million people of america wanted sen. hillary not oboma so he was not elected by the people of america be is a sexest and a racest and those who supported him are like he is but the 18 million people will get those super delegates out of office and supper delegates i have the list who agaive oboma the delegates at least he know he didn't win by popular vote he won by delegates no more no less if it wasn't for them he wouldn't have got iti know you won't let the 18 million people read this commit

Even HRC cannot win those so called "uneducated hardworking white Americans" in the general elections. They can take their votes and HRC and go to blazes! HRC cannot be VP. There's no unity ticket – she can form one with Lou Dobbs!

"Obama has no expertise to decide himself.. He showing the american peopple that he has to nominate separate team to find a VP for him. It is his job to nominate somebody."

Great leaders surround themselves with great people to help them make infomred decisions. Duh.

Her political experience lies in what, the fact that she's a Kennedy? Or is it that she has the inate ability to spot a blue blooded elite left winger V.P. candidate a mile away? Not a very wise informed decision.

anyone but hill clinton
no that was not a spelling error
He needs to move out of the way
then maybe her campaign would have had a chance
we don't need 3 people in the white house trying to be president when only one should be
Bill Clinton was a great president
now he's just ruining his legacy

OBAMA 08

Any chance Sen. Clinton had for VP consideration has gone with the wind with her self-absorbed 'speech' last night.

I believe it will be Obama/Jim Webb

Hey Texas Trail Dog:

You're thinking of Ted, friend. Caroline Kennedy is both a woman and Ted's niece, the daughter of Ted's brother, former President John F. Kennedy.

Perhaps President Lincoln said it best: "'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

Obama should seriously consider Gen. Wesley Clark for VP. There was a strong "Draft Clark" movement down here in Texas last time around. Clark has large scale federal administrative experience as the former NATO Commander, and is a Vietnam combat veteran, a Clinton supporter (can't hold it against him), and has campaign experience (knows the mistakes already personally). He would be a good counter weight to John McCains military resume and bring a lot to the ticket. He's also from Arkansas so that should help the ticket with its Southern strategy and would play very well in places such as NH which is Mccain country but has a lot of independents.

just wait

until the RANTING MO movie
…comes out…

its coming to a FOX MAJOR media outlet

near you soon!

vp search w/ elitist Kennedy's…
can't wait to do another
post modem on why
Kerry Eastern Estabishment
party dems

lost the white house

Oh, dear God, let's hope Obama is not a president like John F. Kennedy. Talk about a disaster. Kennedy is without a doubt in the top five worst presidents in the history of the United States.

almost there

I feel sorry for all of the Clinton supporters that feel they have been betrayed, but some day they will realize that Hillary betrayed them the most.

If she truly wanted to be the VP, she would have thrown her total support behind Barack Obama last night. She has let all of the women that supported her and wanted her to be on the ticket down.

If she had been supportive of Barack Obama last night, all of the news would have been very positive about her today, and made it imposible for Barack to turn her down. Now, not only is the news negative, but the entire Democratic Party will turn against her.

Her actions last night may help bring Obama down in November, which is suspect is what she wants, but it will also be the end of her political career. People will not forget this if she tries to run again in four years. There will be many Democrats that supported her this year that will not support her the next time because she has shown her true colors, and shown that she has put herself above the Party.

Nice move… Let's call it Point and Check Mate.

Texas trail dog…

You are an insensitive moron.

Dave SC above:

You are a freaking idiot…EVERY PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE HAVE A VICE PRESIDENT’S SEARCH COMMITTEE.
McCain announced his a month ago. You must be on of those poor uneducated white people that still support Hillary or McCain

It's 3 a.m.

the phone rings..

HRC will NOT make a decision!!

we need someone who WILL make a decision!

HRC go sign up for AMericon Idol !!! (w/Bill)

Hillary would make a FANTASTIC Supreme Court Justice, and in that role could have influence for decades!

No disrespect to Hillary's supporters… Obama needs to choose someone who reflects his commitment to doing things in a new way in Washington. I like Obama/Richardson, but I know the Obama VP search team will choose the best person to help facilitate change to benefit our citizens, our country and our work in the world.

Caroline Kennedy is a great addition to the search team. Another example of Obama's ability to choose excellent advisors and a well-chosen team.

Our future is suddenly looking so bright!

yes, Caroline Kennedy yes, she can
and yes, she will help…

Obama will pick the right VP
and also in thinking about cabinet positions as well….

Obama will pick many who will be part of the
movement of change in the White House…..

Obama 2008

thanks!!

There are poeple the he can select but the best way of doing this is to appointed a team and to come up with the best choice to run with

An outrageous majority has already say NO CLINTON. She has too much hatress. She will be undermining him as soon as she set foot in the White House.

Dave SC writes: "Who cares? Obama has no expertise to decide himself.. He showing the american peopple that he has to nominate separate team to find a VP for him. It is his job to nominate somebody."

Every candidate appoints a selection team. Busy had one too. His was led by Chenney.

GR writes: "How does Caroline Kennedy qualify to give advice on a VP? This is strange."

The selection committee takes its direction from the candidate. Their role is one of interviewing and background vetting. They will give Obama a list of people they recommend, based on his critera, and he will make the choice. This is no different than its been done in the past.

You people should educate yourselves before trying to educate others.

No need as there is only one choice if he wants to win in November.

Pick whoever you want. Senator Clinton doesn't want to be VP – she wants (and deserves) to be President.

I think 18 million votes for the first INDEPENDENT to win the Presidency of the US would be a nice victory for Senator Clinton.

Congrats!!! Obama, you are God sent. Let no man put asunder!
Do your thing! We need you, but do the right thing so that we can take
the White House for 8 years.

Felisa

He is just trying to hide the fact that he is asking Ted Kennedy to help him. Caroline Kennedy doesn't qualify for this.

The Democrats have lost their minds!! The three stooges, Pelosi,Reid and Dean!!
Go Independant Hillary, you will win this thing and show all of those idiots who is boss!!

Additionally, yes, Hillary ran a great race and should be commended for her efforts and accomplishment. But, Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee and should be respectfully acknowledged as such and then petition, suggest, coerce the possibility of HRC being on “HIS” ticket without the "demand“ undertone.

The goal of ensuring a Democrat in the White House in January 2009 seems to be falling by the wayside and the Repub’s are laughing/gloating all the way to the bank. CAN WE PLEASE STOP THE FIGHT AND UNITE!!

You want the Democrats to win for sure? It would be smart to make Hillary VP.

ONCE OBAMA OFFERS THE POSITION TO HILLARY WE WILL UNITE. UNTIL THEN HIS VICTORY WILL BE OVER SHADOWED BY HILLARY. SHE IS THE BETTER CANDIDATE AND ALWAYS WILL BE. THE REASON HE IS THE NOMIMEE IS BECAUSE OF THE SUPER DELEGATES.

WHAT A JOKE THE OBAMAMANIACS ARE – GO AHEAD AND PRETEND HE WILL GET THE PRESIDENCY WITH OUT HILLARY. THERE IS MORE GOOD WITH THIS TICKET THAN THERE IS NEGATIVES.

THINK ABOUT IT WE WANT TO WIN DON'T WE?

Mr. Cyburn has been getting a hate phone calls from people who identified themselve as clinton supporter he said that he had not heard since the 40's and 50's, but they might be republicans too. Clinton needs to step to the plate in tell her people this kind of behavior would not be tolerated.

One of the great things you have done Senator Obama

New Word of the Day – Tantrumary – This comes after the Primaries. This is where you throw tantrums and see what you get!

Let's hope this committee ignores the blackmail and selects the right candidate for VP!

OBAMA08!

Can someone please explain the math to me when it is said that more people voted for Clinton? You can't pick and choose which states count according to how you do in them. All states and caucuses count therefore Obama won the popular vote and that is why he is OUR nominee!

I love hearing all of Obama's supporters saying they do not want the Clintons back in the White House as if they had a clue. So many of them have never paid any attention to politics until Obama began his run for the presidency. While I comend Obama for his ability to excite, he should work on his ability to inform because clearly, informed, his supporters are not. Keep bashing Hillary, then you all can blame her for why her supporters did not join all of you nasty, vulgar idiots that led to Obama's loss.

It's outrageous to have Clinton staff and backers going on national television advocating for a Clinton VPship. That certainly doesn't seem like a way to unify the party. Does it make Obama a bad person if he doesn't pick her? Seems like more of a devisive and manipulative attempt to have their way than to unify the party. If people are stupid enough to vote for McCain who's policy platform is antithetical to Clinton's policies, I don't really think that they should be encouraged in that direction.

Please do not put Hillary on the ticket. She is vindictive, and wants us to believe we can not make it without her. Do not be intimidated by that bully, let her have her tempertantrum, and focus on MCsame. Inspite of all the racial challenges the majority of people are good Americans. We must believe and have hope.

This is so nice Caroline Kennedy will pick someone that will work with the world NOT with all RICH people. NO to the Clinton!

Obama.

It is about time that someone is standing up to let the CLINTONS know that they DON'T RUN this election process. She better get her act together if she wants to be considered because for the 18 million that she spoke about last night, Obama has another 18 and then some that will show up in the General.

Clinton obviously think that America is old, blind, and stupid. Not all of us have our head in the sand.

I have never, ever seen Caroline Kennedy so happy. In fact I never saw her involed in politics as she is now. This tells me a lot. I am thrilled she is involved in the Obama campaign.

Without Clinton Obama will never win 18 million people are dead for Obama???

We have several Republicans on this site. They want and Hillary wants him to pick her so that the Republicans can have McCain and his VP beat the pants off of him. That would be the only way that McCain can win and Hillary can run in 2012. She needs to step back and do the right thing and endorse Obama and stop her messy mess. Lets move on and do what we need to do and that is as Democrats pump up the volumn for Obama and bring in more Dems and get the Democrats back into the Oval Office.

Rochelle on New York City!!!!!

And every one of these people supports Obama…reminds me of Bush surrounding himself with yes-men because he was sure he had all the answers anyway, and didn't want to hear anyone who disagreed with him.
The only ticket to bring everyone on board would be Obama/ Clinton. Otherwise, the Dems lose to McCain.
And to all you Omababots who are so sure he will bring change-can you give me an example of a change he will propose and get through the Congress? Just one? I hear "change' "change" but no specifics. And by the way, "Change we can believe in" is very bad grammar! I'd love change, but I do not think he has the knowledge and connections to actually do anything. And now he's threatening Iran to appease the Republicans. Same old, same old! Both parties nominated weak candidates who talk a good game but will do nothing positive for this country. If we bomb Iran, we are doomed!

Caroline is going to name herself like Dick Cheney did to George Bush!

Quick follow to previous post. The 12th Amendment addresses this, but in doing so calls for a vote for Vice President.

It seems that neither applies, or I am just not understanding the Article nor the Amendment.

If Hillary runs as an Independent, she will be the next rPresident

Quality people? The guy from FNMA is a disaster, he ran FNMA into the ground and helped create the disfunction in the market now. Bad pick. Only person he can pick for VP and win is Bloomberg. If bloomy isnt in the mix he won't win. Just a quick question for Obama supporters. You realize that if Obama or Hillary becomes president he will roll back both tax cuts Bush gave us, which in money terms if youhave 3 children thats guarenteed 1800 less on your return. You understand this correct? You also understand that your taxes that come out of your paycheck will rise to pay for healthcare for some idiot who decided at 18 he didnt wanna goto college cause he would rather booze up or his parents didnt save enough cause they wanted to party instead of going to college? Oh this will happen to those making over 45K. I make 67K and i cant afford any more taxes taken out nor do i want to pay for healthcare for some bozo who didnt push himself to do better in life and now collects garbage and makes 20K. I dont care about him I care about my kids.

For all of you Hillary backers that are upset, as democrats why would you all even consider voting for John Mccain. This is no popularity contest or a spectacle to be taken lightly. This is about the future of our Great country.

This is about policies and things like Jobs, healthcare, our soldiers and the futures of our children. Unfortunately your statements are being made out of personal contempt and not sound judgment. Something like what many right wing republicans do. You all would be so unpatriotic and selfish not to vote for Obama because he outperformed your candidate.

That is truly so unpatriotic

Now I know America is better than that and unfortunately for the haters the best of America will prevail and you all slider back into your ignorance little lives and complain your lives away.

"You would rather put our country through 4 more years of GWB aka Grandpa McCain, rather than vote for your party and for change?"

Yes because Bush RAN for change in 2000, change is not always good. Obama is a puppet to the DNC has always been. He will NEVER win in Nov, but I knew he was going to win vs. Hillary because the DNC don't like her, she got more votes (you know real votes not bullied votes) but the supers pushed Obama over the top and they "system" made Obama win.

I would not be amazed if Obama killed off McCain so he could run unopposed AGAIN what an elitist group we have running for the DNC.

Hillary write in 08′

@Dave SC can you say sore loser. HA HA HA or republican???

At first I was for a Obama/Clinton ticket…but after last night..nah..not anymore…Hilary and her supporters think this election is about her and nobody else. Bush thinks like that and I do not want the democratic version of him….she makes me more nervous now then ever.

Rendell would be horrible. He was still saying Wednesday morning that Hillary would make a better President. They are still campaigning.

Barack ran a perfect campaign and he will select the best VP that can work with him. We must go forward.

Hillary and Bill bring so much baggage and a lot of garbage.

A 60 year old Republican w/female voting for Barack Obama.

The one sure way to lose is to pick Hillary for VP. She can have another time but this is NOT her time. Last night was nauseating to watch. Choose carefully but never, ever pick Hillary…PLEEEZE

Very good. The Clintons will be too much baggage to muddle through on a daily basis. We don't want to do that again. They have had their time and is time for them to move on. They represent the same old Washington politics. We want CHANGE!!!!!

Senator Obama has picked a good team, please anyone but Hillary.

Caroline Kennedy and Barack Obama, will Mechelle be a stand by your man kinda of gal? The story will break real soon.

There are so many qualified people for V.P. such as John Edwards, Daschle, Bidden and they are so well respected.

I sure hope Caroline Kennedy can talk sense into Sen. Obama, and inform him he does not need Sen. Clinton to be elected president .
Sen. Obama won the primary electon without Sen. Clinton and Bill Clinton.

Hillary is trying to strongarm her name onto the ballot. What she doesn't realize is that if Obama doesn't pick her and Obama loses, Hillary will be blamed for this defeat and become a political outcast for the Democrats (She may get complimented from Rush Limbaugh though). Her political life will be effectively over.

So, Hillary supporters, go ahead, vote for McCain. You will only end up hurting your cause and your candidate.

Hillary being VP makes absolute sense if the party is to be united fast with little disruption and hard feelings. It's obvious.

I'm afraid this solution may be too simple for those controlling the process.

I hope Hillary Clinton will bow out and turn away from the back stabbing DNC and Washington boys club.
She would get tremendous support were she to run as an Independent.
I respect and admire her for the terrific fight she put up and her many years she has given to Public Service.
Obama is a weak candidate , inexperienced and unvetted.
America will pay dearly , should he make it to the White House.

I agree with Irene Adams, what makes Kennedy an expert on this??? Well her ole man never inspired me, didn't he bring us to the brink of nuclear war???
Obama needs Clinton by his side, a woman can add a lot of common sense to his leadership…

===========hey clintons,

——–Leave our country alone————-

hillary is worst than bush

OBAMA SUPPORTERS- Please open your mind to the fact that Hillary ran a terrific campaign, this is politics, down, dirty, and unforgiving! She also did something just as significant as Obama winning the nomination, she was the first female to run so long in a major party's competitive political race. Please remember that Hillary and Obama have both poured their hearts and souls for the past year and a half so Hillary has every right to concede when and where she choses. I am an avid Obama supporter who understands when you fail to meet your dreams there will be harsh feelings of disappointment and time is needed to heal. Hillary still needs to lose her husband, he makes me sick!

I will be glad, when this "circus" is over.Come 2009, and the Democrats take office, for REAL…………………………………..

OBAMA/SEBELIUS '08

This is discusting how even after Obama has won the nomination; we continue to se hate, hate, hate and more hate. This proof that we are devided in America; and even after this historic milestone in our lives; you people continue to not be satisfied. What is this telling us for the future. Wipe your eyes people and look real careful; Obama has an aweful lot of work to do to unite America; it will not come easy; and with the two of them on the ticket; they are inseparable. Noone will touch them. I am a Hillary supporter diehard!!!! However last night i accepted the fact that he won; but with that said; be certain, I will try to understand him; I will try to accept him as our nominee; but I will NOT accept him if he does not make Hillary his running mate! Case and point.

Great hire. Please pick someone other than the Wicked Witch of the South (aka Hillary Clinton).

Caroline Kennedy is such a great choice to help find a V.P.! She's done such great work over the years as President of the Kennedy Library Foundation, as director of the Commission on Presidential Debates and as director of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Also as adviser to the Harvard Institute of Politics.

I like Obama, he seems genuine. He is an idealist, which is always good. McCain is obviously more of a realist…which is unpopular…but still, better than evil Hillary.

How about Ms. Kennedy herself as VP? I would like to see a female in this slot and have no reservations about this, just not Sen Clinton……I am tired about all the sexist chatter, people are rejecting the woman not the women…that is not sexist!

I am also confused. What has Caroline done to be so smart in finding a VP for Obama? Can someone give me some insight in why she is so special? She was only a First Daughter for a brief spell. Just because she is a Kennedy does not make her a political genius. If that were true, wouldn't she have ran off a bridge and killed a friend in a river by now?

Not All People Who Voted For Clinton Will Vote Against Obama! Thousands Are Leaving Her Camp Every Day. Even Some Of Her Biggest Supporters! You Cant Force That Poison Pill Clinton Down Obamas Throat! Get Over Yourselves!

hey, DJ,,,,yiy mean Nunn as in Nunn of the Above? …talk about establishment types.

Why doesn't Obama propose Caroline Kennedy as a VP candidate, I think she would make a great additional to the campaign.

I THINK OBAMA IS SURROUNDING HIMSELF WITH THE NECESSARY AND RIGHT PEOPLE TO ENSURE HE HAS A STRONG CHANCE TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY AND WILL BE AN EFFECTIVE LEADER. CONTRARY TO WHAT OTHERS MAY THINK HAVING A CLINTON IN THE INNER CIRCLE ISN'T A NECESSITY.

Why do Clinton supporters insist on counting Michigan when Obama's name isn't even on the ballot?

All candidates have signed a pledge not to campaign in Michigan and Florida. Despite Clinton being the ONLY major name on the ballot in Michigan, she ONLY won 56% of the votes!!!!

Caroline is not going to let Obama pick Hillary. I'm relieved to see her on the team.

Being the master chess player that Barack is, I think this is a very wise decision. I am thrill that Caroline Kennedy is on the VP Team.

My choices for VP on the Obama ticket are as follows

Kathleen Sebelius Governor of Kansas
Senator Barbara Boxer of California
Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico
Senator John Edwards
Senator Claire McCaskill
I hope Senator Obama adds these find folks to his VP list.
Obama 08

Obama wins by being brilliant every step of his way to……White House. Great move.

OBAMA/FIDEL CASTRO 08!

Absolutely excellent choice–as long as she keeps him away from appointing Hillary.

For those who think Obama NEEDS Hillary.. ah, look again at who is the nominee.

For those who are having a 10yr old type of tantrum- wah, I just won't vote if Hillary isn't on the ticket! wah! – you are the most selfish of voters.

We CAN NOT DO ANOTHER 4 YEARS under REPUBLICAN leadership! What part of the last 7 years are you happy with? $4+ gas? 4000+ dead soldiers? foreclosures nation wide? an economy in recession? An America that is no longer respected by the rest of the globe? Are you proud of a president who slaughter's the English language every time he opens his mouth? And it seems McCain is following Bush's lead on everything – including not knowing his facts when speaking to the public.

Both Obama and Hillary are outstanding and we would be lucky to have either one – I would have voted for Hillary had she won but she didn't. We need a new direction.

One happy Obama supporter.

So apparently the US people are voting, not on substance. Remember that President George W Bush's campaign also stated that "we need change", yet look at where that got us over the past several years. I have heard alot of rhetoric around change, but not substance behind it.

I am a democrate by heart, but have been taken back by the party's issues for the past several months. How can this party dream of leading the country when they have so many issues with just deciding on who to put into the race? I believe in democracy, yet I do not believe in indecisiveness. We waited so long for those undecised swing votes that delayed this process going forward. These delagates are put into positions for making decisions… I am afraid of their lack of actions when the country is in financial and reputational turmoil. We need action now

Next, all I have heard is that Obama is an African American…. he is also white…. These both factors will help his campaign. Yet the biggest mistake that Obama can do is not to have Clinton as VP. Obama's victory is not by a landslide whatsoever, so he needs to capture the voters that Clinton received…. the polls show that many who supported Hillary will not vote for Obama, but rather McCain.

> If Hillary is not the VP you will have 18 million voters including this
> family that will be ticked off and will not only refuse to vote for Obama
>….but will start campaigning for McCain.

Be our guest… and while you're at it, you may want to start thinking about how you're going to survive after you are unemployed, without healthcare, foreclosed and outsourced. Forewarned if forearmed.

We should thank S. Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy for helping to dividing the Democratic Party by endorsing S. Obama knowing that S. Clinton is well liked and qualified for the job!!!

OBAMA/REV.WRIGHT 08!

Why do we care what Caroline Kennedy thinks other than who her father and mother were? She is not involved in politics and has in fact shied away from it. Aren't the Kennedy's just another corrupt political family like the Obam supports claim the Clinton's to be.

If he truly wants to unite this party then he can show it and chose Hillary. Otherwise its just words. We need action Obama not just another politicians empty promises. Put your money where your mouth is or you will loose her supporters, like myself.

OK PEOPLE LET ME REMIND YOU THAT BEING THE SPOUSE OF A FORMER PRESIDENT DOES NOT GIVE YOU EXPERIENCE………….I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO IGNORE THAT………BUSH HAD EXPERIENCE AND LOOK WHERE WE ENDED UP!

Move on June 4th, 2008 2:56 pm ET

To all you catty Hillary supporters that "will vote for McCain" if she's not on the ticket, I ask this:

You would rather put our country through 4 more years of GWB aka Grandpa McCain, rather than vote for your party and for change?

That's disgusting.
==========================

I wouldn't vote for Obama if Hillary was on the ticket!!!

Run as an Independent Hillary!!!!!!!!!

Well guys, No Hillary, No Vote! Even if she endorses Obama, I still wont be voting for him or at all and I am sure, there are plenty of us who feel the same way. It's been a lot fun. Good luck to you guys!

If it took you that long to win the Democratic race, why waste it and pick someone completely different from your views. Make a wise descion Obama, and stop talking to the AIPAC.

Obama 08′

What happened to Article II of the Constitution of United States?

In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President.

Rumor has it that McCain is meeting with Bob Dole for his running mate, really playing on his new experience themed campaign slogan!

OBAMA/OSAMA 08!

Please NO Hillary Clinton. I just saw on the news this morning that the BET founder (who trashed Obama on tv) and Lanny Davis are trying to get her on the ticket. Someone please tell me it ain't so!

Obama seem to project so far that he really like and respect Hillary, and know the worth of this woman that he has campaigned against…worked with.

He has now appointed a panel of 3 to pick his vp candidates, which include Caroline Kennedy. Caroline Kennedy does not like Hillary. She will probably select another woman or two. Does this all mean that Obama doesn't want Hillary as vp and he and his campaign is doing the usual…..him projecting a different face than what his campaign is really doing?

Everyone knows that Hillary has more than earned the vp slot.
It will be interesting to see what his selection panel comes up with.
Will Obama be fair?

please no clintons

I don't think Clinton would be the smartest choice either. But Obama is thinking strategically and he knows that although us Obama backers don't want to see HRC on the ticket, we'll still come through for him, because we're voting with our brains and not with our emotions. Vote democrat 08 – no matter what!

But I doubt he'll choose Hillary.

IF OBAMA SELECT HILLARY FOR THE V.P. POSITION IT WOULD BE A HUGE MISTAKE.THE NEXT FOR FOUR YEARS WILL CONSIST OF LOOKING OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND DEFENDING HIS PRESIDENTIAL DECISIONS. LIFE IS HARD ENOUGH WITHOUT FIGHTING YOUR V.P. FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. PLEASE OBAMA GET SOMEONE ELES ANY ONE ELSE BUT HILLARY.

Mike Hunt for VP!

I think his VP is already leading the search.

I have to say after months of listening to Obama fans I have decided that if he will be anything like his supporters this country is destined to fall apart. I have never read such hate and truly disgusting comments about another person in my life. Ok, so you dont like the Clintons, ok so you didnt want to see her win, Ok so you dont want her as VP.. OK, OK, OK. BUT DO YOU ALL HAVE TO BE SO NEGATIVE AND UGLY???? If this man is truly going to CHANGE AMERICA, he better start with his own supporters. You all are not what he speaks of, you all are the same ugly and nasty political types that you want out of office! This country is in need of some serious healing, and the sooner the Obama fanatics stop tearing Hillary apart the better off the rest of us will be, Do you all think you can stop and take a look at the issues??? "Your man" won… now lets see if he can back up everything he claims to be. GOD BLESS AMERICA, we sure need it!

*********************************************************************
To those who try to 'Make the best of the situation" who say that
Hillary should be veep'ed, the platform that Obama ran from
becomes all but shattered if he picks Clinton as the running
mate. If Obama proves to be that shaky and without a backbone,
I honestly believe that McCain will be the better president. Obama's
best chances are picking a running mate who really teams up
with his vision, yet make up for what he lacks. Hillary offers nothing
that Obama lacks (Their strengths are similar in terms of experience)
and if he picks her, he'd loose his primary winning point, that is his
msg. of "change". If Obama is to loose either way, he should at
least loose to McCain is a dignified way. Picking Hillary will
only help him go down in humiliation. Also, we need new energy,
something new in the next phase of the campaign – Only if you
can convince Edwards…..
*************************************************************************

Not sure how all of a sudden hillary's rallying point and agenda revolves around the women and the feminist movement.I do not trivialize the importance of women's rights, but i thought the focus was about, the economy, the Iraq war, health care, high energy prices, jobs

Hooray!!!!!! Way to go Barack!!!!!

Wake up AMERICA!!!
Not voting or voting for McCain because Hillary is not on the ticket is on of the DUMBEST things I have heard this election season. At the end of the day the Clinton’s will be okay. If we allow more of the same BS to go on in this country they will not be affected by it. Rather, the everyday hard working Americans who try to provide for their families living pay-check to pay-check will suffer.

Do you really think your decision to spite Obama hurts them? WAKE UP!!!
You are only HURTING YOURSELF!

What he looses in women voters for not picking Hillary, he'll gain in Independents for not picking her. A net gain!!

Judging by his exemplary success at organising and running both his actual campaign and his fund-raising efforts, I have no doubt that Obama's search for a VP will be equally as thorough and organised, and will prove in the end to be a well thought-out choice… and will be someone who reflects his core message of "Change – No More Politics as Usual"

Even if obama takes HILLARY as VP I' still not voting for him.I' writting HILLARY"S name in NOV.HILLARY SUPPORTERS SHOULD DO THE SAME THING SINCE THEY DON;T NEED OUR VOTES.

Please, anyone but Hillary. She and her campaign have done nothing but undermine Obama's campaign from day one. New ideas, fresh start — no more of old Washington politics please — and that includes Senator Clinton, Bill and all the baggage they'd bring with them.

Texas Trail Dog what did Caroline Kennedy have to do with Ted Kennedy's accident with his secretary. She was just a little kid at the time that happened. Do you read or know anything about history?

The selection of running mate should depend on Senator Barack Obama, his campaign, and whoever he chooses from the Party Leadership and elsewhere to advise him.

Hillary Clinton and Lanny Davis are not in a position to dictate policy on this matter; especially following Hillary Clinton’s ungracious and defiant refusal to acknowledge Senator Barack Obama as the nominee.

This is a great team for Obama. They will use thoughtful and deliberate conclusions to help him select the right candidate. I am glad that Caroline Kennedy is part of the tem because shecan bring fresh perspective to help decide who would be the best choice.

If Obama doesn't pick Hillary, she'll be getting my write-in vote
for President in November. I cannot vote for Obama, who the "old boy
Democrats" shoved down my throat. This contest was so biased and unfair. Now take your Obama and shove him!

PLEASE DON'T HAVE HILLARY ON THIS SHORT LIST! LAST NIGHT WAS A REASON SHE CANNOT REPRESENT CHANGE!

OBAMA 2008!

People are right people that support Hillary are not going to vote for Obama they'll vote for McCain if she's not on the ticket that would be really smart on Obama's part. That will really help win the swing states that he done so well in. LOL!

I was just looking for a post to make a comment. I think it is funny to read how people think Barack Obama will not win the general election. NEWS FLASH about 16 months ago they said that Hillary was the SURE NOMINEE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. YET 16 MONTHS LATER BARACK OBAMA BEAT THE SURE THING. SO IT WILL BE FUN TO SEE IF BARACK OBAMA WINS THE GENERAL ELECTION BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK HE WILL. YET HE BEAT THE MOST POWERFUL DEMOCRAT IN GOVERNMENT.

CHOKE ON THAT SLAPPY

tissue anyone?

What a touching moment.

Obama '08

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks to the good sense of Barack Obama for fully vetting this potential vice-president in a fair and unbiased way. Praise God!

Hillary is only doing this to get jobs for her and her husband. Obama should diss, just on principle. Hillary could have been part of history, now she's only going to be a footnote…

Hope, this guy will keep his promise if he is the President. I wonder if he could do as he promise.

God, i love this guy (Obama).

Obama should pick someone who is reflective of his campaign's message: Change We Can Believe In. Personally, I do not 'believe' in anything about Hillary except her overwhelming ambition and her lack of scruples. Obama should pick someone with whom he can work as an effective team, and his choice should be his choice. He should not care what suits the Clintons and should only pick her if it really suits him and his plans.

Obama. Hillary doesnt need to be VP to help you in NOvember. She can campaign for you and tell her supporters to vote for him. You may want to put her in charge of your Health Care task force. That would be a nice gesture. She messed up in the 90s…lets say she earned one more chance at Healthcare.

He should pick Russ Feingold and watch em all drop their jaws.

True leaders don't make all the decisions, they surround themselves with people that make good decisions. This gets more done and prevents bottlenecks – not to mention empowering people.

Good pick! Mr. O

Don't let team Billary try to force you into anything. YOU WON!!! Show them who's running the Democratic party now!

John Edwards!!!!!!!!

Then I want to see all 4 President/VP candidates in a no-holds barred debate.!!!

The Democrats would win huge.

I've said from day 1, (okay maybe not day 1, but several months ago) that Obama and Edwards are easily the 2 smartest candidates on either side in this race. And to be fair, and show I'm not just biased towards Dems, Mike Huckabee would finish 3rd in intelligence.

An Obama/Edwards ticket is exactly what this country needs right now.

Now somebody needs to convince Edwards of this.

The best VP for the job is Governor Richardson of New Mexico. He knows the foreign policy and he will draw in the hispanic voters even more. DONOT choose Clinton, not because she will not help the party because she has dedicated herself to doing so even after this nomination. However, it is the big BILL problem in the whitehouse who will try to manipulate her into manipulating OBAMA on wrong decisions as well has BILL swarming all the interns or acting like an underprivileged child! Keep her out only for that reason. BILL CLINTON is trouble and has shown his true colors as well as Hillary. Although, Hillary has a lot of pull etc… I think OBAMA wants to do this on his own with his choice. I think the Kennedys are TERRIFIC and definitely the right choice to help him find his VP. THANK YOU GOD!!!

Republicans can be very happy, they will win in November , McCain is NOT Bush !
It is well known and has been for the Hillary voters that the media and the DNC wanted Obama for president, more lack of respect for Hillary by ignoring her 18 millions voters will not unite or endear us in November.
Caroline Kennedy helping to chose a vp ? What a joke !

Whoever the team is… Let them say NO to Hillary firmly

Unbelievable. The Democratic Party nominated Obama who lacks the experience and now some want to add Caroline Kennedy, Based on experience? I think not, why would her name come up, because she is John Kennedy's daughter? How could this ticket beat MCain?
The Dems really need to consider how we are to win the White House in November. Add Hillary who is certainly qualified to the ticket and we can do it. Without her, good luck. Without Hillary, many of her supporters will vote for McCain, write her in or stay home.

HERE COME THE FAVORS! CAROLYN KENNEDY GETS TO HELP CHOOSE THE NEXT VP? WHY WHAT HAS SHE DONE OTHER THAN ENDORSE OBAMA? SHE HOLDS NO OFFICE ISNT AN ELECTED OFFICAL, AND SHE GETS TO CHOOSE A VP? HOW ELITE.! NOT ONLY DID OUR VOTES NOT COUNT! THE SUPERDELEGATES, ELITIST PICKED THE CANDIDATE OF THEIR CHOICE, NOW THE LIKES OF OPRAH, SPRINGSTEEN WILL BE DETERMINING POLICY. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR IN THIS COUNTRY PEOPLE.

It is very obvious that Caroline Kennedy does not remember her father she was to young. JFK would never support someone like Obama.

Please don't let the Hillary camp use their leverage to pressure you into picking her as VP. A lot of people in the US do not like her – Republicans would rise up in great numbers, rallying against her, if she was on the ticket…

Especially — after all the numerous speeches in which Hillary emphasized how unqualiified Obama is… what sense does it make to include her? She would only prove to continue to manipulate, stelth and manuver to to upstage President Obama.

No, she's bad news… drop her from the short list.

Think Jim Webb.

Please, please not Hillary.

Her lying (sniper fire anyone?), flip-flopping (war is good, no war is bad!) and wanting to change the rules every time they did not benefit her (FL and MI should be punished and not count at all. Oh…I'm behind…wait, FL and MI should count fully, even though I didn't do the right thing, the thing that I agreed to do) has done her in.

She could not be trusted to hold the VP spot. President-to-be Obama needs people around him he can trust. Her inability to follow the rules, accept reality (really, people, haven't we had enough of a president who isn't grounded in reality? "We're not in a recession."), and grace to concede a hard fought battle makes her unacceptable.

Give her a health care post or something, and we'll see if she can get it done this time around.

thank you ,
ANYONE BUT CLINTON

we want change
we have voted for progress
we dont want dyansty
we dont want billy boo
we dont want the same old same

I don't think I speak for myself only when I say I will never cast a vote for Obama. I cannot believe his supporters are still being nasty and smart mouthed toward Hillary. Obama was "put in" by the DNC heavies and the media. It had nothing to do with any skills on his part. All of us Hillary supporters have to swallow the fact that Hillary lost because of the abandonment of her party, and not to mention race. How could anyone Hillary supporter unit with him when his supporters will not even to this day shut their mouths. I will either write in Hillary's name, or stay home, or might even cast a vote for McCain. You will not hold us hostage with threats of what will happen if we vote for McCain because there is more of a threat if we vote for Obama. He knows nothing and is a shady person who cannot be trusted. How could the DNC shove her aside. I hope they go down the toilet. I will not and do not believe for a moment that Hillary supporters will go his way or rub elbows with him – CNN you cannot manipulate us that way. It is sad when the DNC and media pick the choice for President and not the people. Stop playing your mind games, you won ok. But now WE have the power to stop him in November – GO FOR IT HILLARY SUPPORTERS.

I am sure that Obama will consider every thing before he seelects a VP. He will only choose Hillary if it is the best thing for the ticket. I thought people trusted his judgement? So why are the Obama supporters trying to tell him what to do if they trust his judgement so much?

Good move. They won't want Hillary AND Bill.

Hillary your suppporters want you to take it to the Convention…..we are behind you all the way!

Articles like this only inspire us and drive us to stand behind you no matter what.

We're there for you….so let's go to Denver and let the chips fall where they may!

Go Hillary!!!

Seems like the whole Democratic party is screaming "I'm staying home or voting for McCain if I don't get my way." GUESS WHAT…you're not all going to get your way…any combination of Democrats in the White House is better than McCain.
You defectors are all spoiled little children…I'm talking to Obama supporters as well, threatning to leave if he selects Hillary as veep…get over yourselves folks…
ARE YOU MORE INTERESTED IN ENDING THIS WAR AND FIXING THE ECONOMY OR GETTING YOUR OWN SPOILED INTERESTS SERVED?!?!?!?!?

BO will need HRC's 18 million votes in the fall. Plain as that.

Hooray another voice of reason. Caroline is levelheaded enough to know Hillary is out ! Ted Kenndy said as much a few weeks ago. After all Barack doesn't need Hillary, it's just that she wants people to think he does.

He really is this generation's JFK and just like John Mayer said…I hope it's time for our generation to lead this population and get the racists of the world in the minority and have us all stand up to lead this man to a much needed victory. In EVERY way McCain represents the past…let's stand together and bring this country a step towards the future!

Choose someone who does not have the last name Clinton

Caroline Kennedy for VP. She is pretty and a well known name. This would make the ticket seem "American" as apple pie. Kennedy legacy tied to Obama . .. . winning ticket!!

Obama is showing that he will take advice from sound people in every decision he makes unlike a Bush or Clinton. Clinton supporters, give it up. You need to wake up, nobody else.

LIKE AMERICAN EXPRESS SAYS: "MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS BENIFITS".

Yes – that makes sense. I was wondering what was in it for Ted Kennedy when he endorsed Obama.

POPULAR VOTE>?
Hillary Won by 10,000 in South Dakota
Barack is winning by 28,000 in Montana..
Net Gain for Barack 18,000 POPULAR VOTES..!
Using 2 of 3 Scenarios on CNN Hillary Was winning before tonight by less than 18,000 votes.
Therefore.. BARACK OBAMA WON THE POPULAR VOTE..
HILLARY SHUTT THE FRACK UPP…!!!
CLINTON Wins NO STATISTICAL BRACKETS… NONE..
NOTHING…
NOT 1…..
NADA.!
BARACK WON THE POPULAR VOTE..!!!!!

I think we all should chip in and pay for some Psycho Therapy for Mrs. Clinton..she is one twisted Sister.. WOW
Ohh lets make sure that Hellary gets an Aids test too..

Texas Trail Dog

You are such a great Clinton supporter she must be so proud of you!!!!!!!Call Hill tell her to run on Independent ticket, and tell her to take you with her. I can't believe CNN did not take your comment off, shame on you!!!

No Clinton please.

well thank god no clinton vp i have faith he will choose the right person hes a smart man just look how far he has come i cant wait to have him as president!!!!!

can we all say to Hillary……..

………………………………….your Fired…………. will she get a clue???

Better to hire a team to th edirty work of denying Hillary than him do it himself. No way can he have Hillary on the ticket. She doesn't gain any electoral votes. It will probably be Ted Strickland of Ohio. It's a no-brainer 20 electoral votes that he otherwise won't be able to get.

Congrats for choosing flash over substance.

I am old enough to recall the Kennedy-Johnson team, getting us bogged down in Viet Nam and 50,000 Americans killed. And people want to complain about Bush!!!

The hard-core Hill followers seem to think that without them, we can't win. But what they don't realize is that there are many more new/first time voters who can easily fill their void (and then some)

Dave SC,

Your comments indicate that you have no idea what it takes to run a nation. Of course you use committee & teams. They make the recommendation and he ultimately makes the final call.

Do actually think that the president review and analyze each decision independently?

Nader 2008.
Or maybe that Libertarian.

I am no longer a DemocRAT.

Do you need a committee to select Hillery

"Move on" You're right. The country doesn't need another 4 years of GWB. That's why the country shouldn't vote for another inexperienced whimp like Obama.

Probably another Kennedy for the White House, wow, that's change. Let's keep the Kennedy dynasty, monarchy, whatever you want to call it going.

It's funny, Obama supporters don't want Hillary on the ticket, but keep saying how she MUST go out and campaign really hard for him to win. They also want her supporters to vote for BO. The Obama group is aslo looking to Hillary's fund raisers for help with the general election.

Obama, the Bush/Cheney energy guy. You can't have your cake & eat it too!

Not a Clinton fan, but after all the vetting if they think Hillary is the best choice, who am I to argue. I have no doubt that they are a lot better qualified on the VP selection than most of us are. After all we all want what will be best for the USA and I think this team will do everything it can to do just that job.

WHOEVER HE PICKS AS HIS VP I HOPE ALL THE DEMOCRATS STILL VOTE FOR HIM IN NOVEMBER!!!! LET'S BE WISE AND NOT IGNORANT!

ANYONE BUT MCBUSH!!!!!

IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE ONE SIDED AND SET IN YOUR WAYS, DON'T COMPLAIN WHEN THINGS NEVER CHANGE. AMERICANS ARE ALWAYS CRYING ABOUT WANTING CHANGE BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, THEY CRITIZE AND JUDGE AND DONT WANT TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN! SO TYPICAL!

Good selection – A tribute to the Kennedy Family.
I might add, anyone is fine for this slot except Hillary.

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THE CLINTONISTAS AND HILLARY, DEMANDING THEY BE RESPECTED, WHEN IN FACT HILLARY SHOWED A LACK OF RESPECT HERSELF IN NOT CONGRATULATING OBAMA ON HIS NOMINATION. NARCISSISTS, SELF ABSORBED EGOS , ALL OF THEM.

Fatal mistake if Obama picks Hillary for VP. What a mess that would be.

I don't know what is Carter doing here after the interview with HAMAS.
I don't think Hillary will be in same ticket that Obama……
Hillary's supporters never will vote by Obama…they will stay at home.
Obama has to pay with something a Kennedy, Richardson, Edwards
(no VP please) and I forget Kerry.
He can't put Caroline in honor of her father JFK o her mother JOK

Are you forgetting that Obama barely won this contest? If you want him to win the national election, then forget your bigotries against the Clinton, and think Politics. He need her and her supporters to win this election. Of course, i forgot, i am dealing with politically immature people, like your candidate himself….

Hillary antics are bad signs of what type of person she is. she will try to jeopardize his campaign so she can run again in 2012. i would not have the clintons anywhere near the general campaign. go ahead, kennedy.

Joe Lieberman! Let's get some wisdom in the white house!

I hope that Barack and his team will not choose Hillary as a running mate.

But she's still running for co-president.

Hillary is brilliant and often a better speaker than she is generally perceived to be. But she needs to go so far as to rebuild her ego – get over her self centeredness and her starving for applause and personal adulation – before she can be an integral part of a program for governing as envisioned by Barack Obama.

I know for sure now Hillary is not on this ticket. Especially after that sour comment she made. She truly going to need to learn to speak more postive and be whole lot more appreciative when someone congratulate her and go all out to do so. And while she's pouting about not winning. She is not helping the economy while doing so.

This is a good thing… none of these people are close to Clinton and I am sure they will make a great team to select potential running mates.

Anyone but Clinton. That said, I believe she could be an awesome Supreme Court Justice – a job, one might add, that doesn't require running every two to six years. I believe she could advance the cause of women and the ordinary people as a Justice.

D. Casey in California

I was a Hillary supporter but the Picture away is worth a thousand words!

As they say in the NAVY. Obama just shot a warning shot across the her bow. Time to pack it in Hill.

He is nothing like JFK.

Robert, probably.

Comments are moderated by Obama supporters at CNN, in accordance with the CNN Let's-Get-Obama-Elected Comment Policy, and may not appear on this blog until they have been reviewed and deemed to be supportive of Obama. Also, due to the volume of comments we receive, comments disfavorable to Obama, the Democrats, or CNN will NOT be posted.

I BELEIVE THAT NO MATTER WHAT. PEOPLE WILL NEVER GIVE OBAMA THE CREDIT HE DESERVES. HEY U CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY. KEEP IT UP OBAMA. ALOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE IN YOU THATS WHY YOU ARE OUR NOMINEE!!

I can't believe there are still morons on these blogs claiming Hillary won the poplular vote. No she didn't . She lied to you……again. And you still believe her. Bargaining chip.

Just like she said, every vote must count. Unless you are claiming popular vote victory and exclude every caucus state, Washington state and don't count any uncommitted votes. Right Hillary?

Jon, June 4th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

"I can't see how Hillary can accept spot # 2. I think she's not saying anything so she doesn't sound like a spoiler. I don't believe for one minute that she has to put the party ahead of her own interest. After all, SHE wants to be President. Being a Democrat is just a coincidence."

____________________________________

I agree that Hillary is definitely power hungry!

That's good Idea. I think Hilary will not be on any list.

Yes. This could be a disaster for the country (don't care about the Party)

Also Clinton probably deserves to be a President than working under one

how is she qualified to make that decision? That said, can we just come out of denial and maybe pose the question that Obama may not be in the strongest position to win the election? If he was so unstoppable, as he is deemed, why has he lost the last many primaries (and at double digits no less). He's just NOT a sure thing, people. Let's keep all our options open if we want a democrat in the White House!!!

Those Hillary voters who said that they will not vote for Barack Obama are bitter, sad people. Hillary voters should vote for Obama because their policies are practically the same. Hillary needs to acknowledge that Obama is the nominee and advise her supporters to vote OBAMA!

No Clintons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama 2008

I’d rather see Caroline Kennedy for VP then Hillary.

I just don’t see Hillary taking a back seat to Obama. She’ll be in his face 24/7 waving that “army” of hers every time they disagreed. It's like the wife who doesn't let you forget any time she doesn't get her way.

Are you forgetting that Obama barely won this contest? If you want him the win the national election, then forget your bigotries against the Clinton, and think Politics. He need her and her supporters to win this election. Of course, i forgot, i am dealing with politically immature people, like your candidate himself….

I have to agree with Mr. Carter it would be a big mistake and Mr. Obama should not be forced to choose her. If her people don't want to vote for Mr. Obama then that is there choice to live four more years with Mr. McCain who is just like George Bush then you get what you ask for and they will have to live four more years with there choice. Rather than give the black man a chance to prove or fail give him a chance and see what he will do and then they can come up with why they were right.

If Obama really wants to unite the democratic party, then he should listen to people like myself, a devoted democrat. I as many voted for Hillary. If he selects her as his running mate he will truly unite this party. This would insure a win in November. We would be united and unbeatable.

YOUR NOT THE NEW GENERATION CAROLYN? THE NEW GENERATION IS GOING TO HAVE TO PUT THEIR JOYSTICKS DOWN IN NOV AND GO VOTE. DIDNT YOUR STATE VOTE FOR HILARY?

This is a perfect example of what to expect if Obama would ever become the President.

How is Caroline Kennedy qualified to pick a V.P.?

I guess the Elite and Washington snobs are determined to lose this election in November.

No Obama

Both you're camps better grow up fast.

Both Obama & Clinton supporters better realize they need each other If they want to win. Neither by themselves can best McCain.

Better grow up Dems. While Obama is interesting McCain is as well.
I'll reserve my vote foe either based on the best interest of americans not distractions.

I suggest you do the same..

How Soros Financed Obama's Campaign—5/30/08 (LPAC)–In 2006, George Soros, the British empire/Wall Street billionaire vetted Barack Obama's Presidential candidacy with financier oligarchs and Obama announced he seeks the White House. Soros met with Obama in March, Soros’ spokesman Michael Vachon (quoted by CNS News, July 27, 2004) and fundraised for his U.S. senate and through the 2007 Presidential campaign with huge operations of inner circle of millionaires. A Preliminary chronology –2004: The Rockefellers' family political agency endorsed Obama and funded manager, David Axelrod. Obama accepted $12,000 each from donor, $5 million primary funding came from 300 donors and a 6/7/04 Soros' NY fundraising event held–12/4/06: Soros introduced Obama to a dozen plutocrats, UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland/Swiss Bank) U.S. chief Robert Wolf, and hedge fund manager Orin Kramer. Robert Wolf, in D.C. met with Obama to map out campaign strategy– 01/07: Obama announced his Presidential run and The NYT reports he nailed the support of 2 highest level Democratic fundraisers: George Soros and Robert Wolf. By 4/07, Wolf had raised $500,000 for him–01/15/07: Wolf introduced Obama to Jim Torrey, Brian Mathis, Jamie Rubin, and (again, from the original Soros meeting) Orin Kramer–03/07: 2 fundraisers by Wolf and one by Edgar Bronfman, Jr.– 03/15/07: Soros began a staged fraud dance with Obama. Writing in NY Review of Books, Soros denounced the rightist Israeli lobby, AIPAC. –03/21/07: One week later, continuing fraud dance, the Obama rebutted Soros (as in, "Obama distances himself from Soros"), and denounced the Hamas movement–04/09/07: Fundraiser at home of elite financier Steven Gluckstern, the former chairman of George Soros' Democracy Alliance. A photo of event published (4/16/07) in NY magazine–05/18/07: Obama fundraiser hosted at mansion of Paul Tudor Jones, giant hedge fund Tudor Investment Corp and collected $690,000 from 300 attendees reported by Greenwich Times.

Dave, all nominees from both Parties have a nominating committee. It is standard procedure.

There are other women politicians that could be on the ticket.
Mcaskill,Sebelius,Napolitano,etc.It doesn't have to be Hillary.
And a lot of Obama supporters don't want Hillary and would 't vote if she's on the ticket.So…
There's other ways he can get the angry white women vote if you will.
And these women have more experience than Clinton.
What about the nearly 18 million voters that voted for Obama.They count as well.It's not all about what Hillary or her supporters want.
Obama gets to pick his nominee.He won.That's the truth.That's it.

Nice picture above. Caroline Kenneday for VP. lol!

Texas Trail Dog.
It is Caroline Kennedy not Ted Kennedy who he selected.
You must be one of those Hillary supporters……the white ones with limited education!!!! Learn to read before you spout off your horrible comments!

The job of a VP is to OBEY the president, do everything the president says and be 100% loyal to the president.

Does that sound like a job the Clintons can do? The Clintons are only loyal to the Clintons. Billary should not be the VP and I would never vote for a ticket with Billary on it.

There is NO WAY the Clintons should ever step foot in the White House again. If she can not recognize his victory, the backstabber will never be a good VP.

Excellent selections!!! This is evidence of true leadership and good judgement. Well done Obama camp!!!!!!!

Pelosi should keep her mouth shut, and carter should do the same because, When Carter took office in 1977, he received a moderately growing economy in which inflation was 5.4 percent and interest rates were around 8 percent. When he left office, the Soviets were entrenched in Afghanistan, Iranian students had been holding US State Department personnel and US Marines hostage for 444 days, the American military had been gutted by the administration's post-Vietnam cutbacks, American prestige was in tatters abroad and inflation was in the double digits and interest rates were so high it was impossible for Americans to finance large purchases like homes and cars. Carter's administration is without a doubt the worst in modern American history, yet Carter himself blamed his failures on a "national malaise". This "malaise" kept his Democratic party out of power for 12 years; even today it wrestles to free itself from Carter's legacy.

Jimmy Carter was a failure within the United States and the admission of North Korea only shows once again that he is a failure abroad as well. A Nobel Prize will never obscure these facts.

YAY!!!

Anyone but Ms. Clinton!!!

Letter To Hillary Clinton:

Sen. Clinton,

I admire your courage and work ethic; however, I would like you to gracefully exit the stage. As an young African American I was extremely disappointed with your speech last night. You acknowledged Sen. Obama's "run" but not his win. More importantly, you recognized your historic efforts during this campaign for women, but you did not mention or acknowledge anything about the historical significance of Sen. Obama's win as a African American. I've supported you and your family for most of my life. I believe that you have done a lot for African Americans and Americans in general. Unfortunately, I believe that your speech and lack of recognition last night combined with your refusal to exit the political stage is the greatest disservice towards America and African Americans. I hope that you read this message with understanding and I wish you and your family well.

Thank you,

Yes!!! You've come too far to be bullied into taking a sore loser as a running mate. Thank you!!!

Chosing Hillary Clinton as Obama's VP would be the biggest mistake in history. For me it would be enough to vote for the Republican candidate McCain.

Hillary is attempting to blackmail the DNC by not conceding to the nominee. She has lost fairly and now instead of supporting the Democratic nominee she is manipulating her supporter's into a new campaign for Vice President. Hillary keeps proving that she cannot be trusted to put the good of the Country above her own ambitions. No Hillary for Vice President. NO.

The Democratics will vote (despite what they claim) for Obama….and Hillary will not be on that ticket. She shows herself even now, when defeat is evident by her refusal to concede. She is not a teamplayer, but a team….still hoping for a shot (literally) at the Oval office.

Pick Hagel

I am a democrat who voted in Florida for Barack Obama, but was quite upset that our votes never counted due to the rules. However, in the last few months I have watched this all play out, I have switched to a clinton supporter. This is because, Barack Obama has become an arrogant, self serving, and very discriminatory candidate. He and his wife sat in chruch for over 20 years and were married and baptized by a man who is not what I consider to be a christian. Then to defend him, and then to make a political move to leave the church, he is a flip flopping inexperienced candidate, who won't get my vote come general election time. Even if he puts Hillary, the stronger and more qualified of the two on the ticket. One point for John McCain

To Dee: As to "Who has listened to Jimmy Carter in years."
This country would have been far better off if they had listened carefully to Jimmy Carter ever since he left olffice. He is a true American statesman who is committed to free and open elections everywhere in the world, and has labored ceaselessly for open and better government and peace in the world.

Thank God they put a woman on that search team. I would have preferred that Pelosi led that team. But a Kennedy…especially a female, is a solid move.

My first choice for VP would be Sebeluis. She has experience managing a whole governmental unit and is very well respected among other governors.

It just gets better. This guy is incredible. It is like Christmas for me today- I am dancing on air. I am so so of American right now-I haven't felt like this for a long time. My father is smiling from the heavens-his dream has come true-we have looked beyond color and have looked at being human with a great soul!

I am going to volunteer a week of my time for the next jaunt of this campaign-anywhere he wants me to go-I will go!!!!

GO OBAMA, GO HOPE, GO INTEGRITY, GO DIGNITY, GO GRACE-GO CHANGE, GO FOR PEACE -GO TO WASHINGTON DC.

Folks, Obama made it clear Hillary will have some place or some job in his adminstration last night. Even if he doesn't she will still be in the Senate and be invited to the White House. Stop being stupid the VP doesn't live in the White House. So all this watch your food Obama is foolish. Grow up and realize each have approx 18 million votes each. remember 2000 Gore had 500,000 more votes than Bush and he is not the president. Obama needs Hillary whether you like it or not. What is the problem with a unity ticket other your hate for Hillary?

Thank God Obama got the nomination…he isn't a Washington insider so he won't be able to do a thing if he wins the Presidency just like Jimmy Carter. Hillary on the other hand had some power and that would have been scary!

Caroline Kennedy, what gives her credentials to help pick a VP? Gimme a break! LOL!!

My family has a lot of electrician in it too but that doesn't mean I know much about wiring a house!!!

Illinois Senator Barack Obama is now "in the promised land" of a victor on the way to a longed-for prize

Let's move on.

what about rev J. wright or Pelosi..
anyway i will vote for John Mccain.

Ms. Kennedy should look to the Sunshine State. The only individual that is able to secure the White House for Senator Obama is Florida's former Governor and U.S. Senator, Bob Graham. When Mr. Bob Graham served Florida, he was well liked. He won his bids for re-election by landslides.

ANYONE BUT CLINTON!

Please take a HARD LOOK at Hillary Clinton before you make that decision!

OBAMA/CLINTON 2008

I think Obama has already decided it won't be Clinton on the ticket, but is figuring out how to deal with this. It'll be interesting to see how they are going to announce this to her supporters…

And of course it'll be interesting to see who Obama is going to pick. There are some good options out there, my money is on Clark or Bayh although I would also really like to see Richardson on there.

As a Canadian, I think the idea of Hillary Clinton for VP is a mistake. The best canidate is one that will also represent real change. I like the idea of a female – maybe someone like a Caroline Kennedy – who is young, ploiticallly savy and is a name that is trusted. Imagine what a breath of fresh air these two would be!

Probably another Kennedy for the White House, wow, that's change. Let's keep the Kennedy dynasty, monarchy, whatever you want to call it going.

It's funny, Obama supporters don't want Hillary on the ticket, but keep saying how she MUST go out and campaign really hard for him to win. They also want her supporters to vote for BO. The Obama group is aslo looking to Hillary's fund raisers for help with the general election.

Obama, the Bush/Cheney energy guy. You can't have your cake & eat it too!

good deal, sen obama, i like the way you take care of business.

Well, I think last nights display by Hillary showed who she is. It was a historic night, and she should have let the cycle be what had just happened with Obama. She chose not to do that, and chose to make herself or her actions the "story" I voted for her in the primary and caucus…The last bit of support I had for her to be VP went away last night. Anyone but her, she, I fear would not let Obama govern if she was the VP, she would somehow make herself the "story" at every corner…

Excellent strategic move by Senator Obama. If this committee can operate without lobbyists and special interest groups, I'm sure an excellent choice will be made. Too bad about Hillary. After such an admirable campaign, I think she is blowing it badly now! Pick someone else, please!!!

Correction!! Hilary did not win. Obama did. I tired of people TRYING to stop Obama from glory!! STOP BEING PREJUDICE AND GROW UP!!
He does not need HRC to win! He already beat her! PLUS WE DON'T NEED WHINNERS, WE NEED WINNERS.That is why Obama is our nominee. Stop the drama and vote Obama!! All you supporters it is not time to step it up. Obama believes in the same thing Hilary does. If you vote for McCain then you are prejudice and sealing your future. Hope you like paying those gas prices and seeing your children in Iraq dying.

In considering your choice for VP, you must consider a candidate who has extensive foreign and or military experience and represents a red state. Also, a candidate who already has name recognition. Some considerable choices would be Bill Richardson, Jim Webb and George Mitchell. We need the most balanced ticket possible.

HEYY!! WAIT..!

Isn't Hellary ENTITLED TO THE V.P. Slot??

LMAO..:)

Yeah a 60 year old Former 1st lady and Senator that behaves like a teenage wanna be Cheerleader that didn't make the squad..

Thank God..! Hillary is no longer a Threat to America & the world..

Please Senator Obama. Not Hillary Clinton. You are the candidate of change. You are different and fresh. No more Clintons. Therefore, not more scandals and politics of the 90's.

Best wishes. There are wonderful people out there who would be helpful and most of all truthful to you and the country. Let's find one for V.P.

May God bless you, your family and America.

BRILLIANT–this will tamp down all the HRC talk. This is precisely why this guy is our nominee!!!

obama needs to make sure he picks a VP that is more agressive then he is, one that is not scared to stand up , and put them rep in LINE!! like me! LOL!

Hillary's obssession to being President's best chance is if she is the VP. Her harbouring of a dark hope for something bad to happen to Obama is still in her head and GOD forbid, if that happens, she would not just be President, but the first female President. This is her hidden desire. It is a scary prospect. Do NOT Put her on the ticket. PRESIDENT OBAMA, YOU MUST EXERCISE YOUR GOOD JUDGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for your own safety.

Well if they do not pick Hillary I am joining the 40% of Hillary fans who plan on voting for McCain and I am leaving the party along with most the other Dems I know here in FL who had their vote robbed from them by the DNC for something they did not do. We are more than just half people and our vote should count as more than a half vote. Hillary being on the ticket is the only fair solution since Barrack obtained this nomination through the disenfranchisement of voters in two states. He is not better than Bush winning the election in the same manner and unless Clinton is on the ticket I will not support him.

Well if Caroline Kennedy has been added to the search for a VP team, we have pretty clear signal that it isn't going to be Clinton–not that it ever was anyway.

Ms. Kennedy should look to the Sunshine State. The only individual that is able to secure the White House for Senator Obama is Forida's former Governor and U.S. Senator, Bob Graham. When Mr. Bob Graham served Florida, he was well liked. He won his bids for re-election by landslides.

It would be suicidal for Obama to choose Hillary as a running mate. She is very divisive and for all the dirty stiff she said about him. I do not think so.

Here we go with the old song and dance, already. Caroline Kennedy openly endorsed Obama, but she donated money to Clinton's campaign. Something's brewing here, and it has a foul odor.

Barack we are with you, and so will the Hillary supporters.
We understand the urgency for CHANGE, let's do this together!!!!!!

I think that it is both immature and very sad that there are so many Hillary supporters that refuse to accept that Obama has won and rally for him. I'm proud of Hillary for her accomplishments, but it is not her time, it is Obama's. Therefore as a democrat, as a citizen who still wants to end the war, as a citizen who still wants the best for this country…why on earth can't the Hillary supporters be true supporters of a better America and get behind Obama?! It is truly a sad thing that Hillary will not step up and encourage her followers to do the right thing. All she is concerned about is winning. What happened to saving America?

Texas Trail Dog: Did you even read the first name — Caroline, not Teddy — or are you just spewing hate?

Well considering that Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama even if she is on the ticket. Than it makes perfect sense to pick someone else. Your decision Obama only yours!

Great! Hillary as VP … that will be lethal for an Obama Administration …

people of America don't allow your good judgement to be clouded by
Obama's fancy rhetotics….stand-up and think with your………
BRAIN……………AND VOTE McCAIN !!!

IF HILLARY WANTS TO BE CONSIDERED THEN SHE BETTER STOP THIS NONSENSE AND SUPPORT HIM. BY THE WAY NOT PUTTING HER ON THE TICKET IS NOT A DISRESPECT TO HER SUPPORTERS. HER SUPPORTERS KNOW AND UNDERSTAND (NO MATTER HOW MANY CLAIM TO VOTE FOR MC CAIN) THAT OBAMA WILL HELP PUSH HER AGENDA ON UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE MORE THAN MC CAIN.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS WILL BE DISRESPECTING HILLARY IF THEY VOTE MC CAIN, SOMEONE THAT IS COMPLETELY AGAINST CLINTON'S AGENDA.

Good job

penzi

Thank goodness that Obama
WILL NOT STAND FOR HILLARY HOLDING
THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS and PARTY HOSTAGE–

This says a lot about the type of leader he is and will be for our country-he will NOT be pushed around—

Choose the best person for the job bottom line—-

I WON'T BE VOTING FOR HIM WITH HILLARY

Please no Clinton! Never!

But these might do:

Rendell
Bayh
Nunn

Who cares? Obama has no expertise to decide himself.. He showing the american peopple that he has to nominate separate team to find a VP for him. It is his job to nominate somebody.
Imagine if he becomes president, he will have such teams/committees to study every policy. He will spend our tax money with this kind of bureaucracy. Wake up America.

How does Caroline Kennedy qualify to give advice on a VP? This is strange.

"JB June 4th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

WAIT, Hillary said it isn't over yet!"

———–
Um, that's because Hillary is in denial. She lost. Blatant disregard of the facts makes me think she's more like George W. than anyone else. Sorry so harsh, but come on.

Please no.
She stands for all things that obama supporters are tired of in washington.

Politics as usual. OB wants things to change in Wash., but continues to maintain status quo. Same faces, same behavior. I have not been fooled.

Does NE1 still wonder if he can handle HRC??? This is BRILLIANT!!!

hell, why not Caroline? Her kids "convinced" her of Obama's worth, so I guess she is the first of the new faces we are going to see in the new Washington.

This is AWESOME news!!

To all you catty Hillary supporters that "will vote for McCain" if she's not on the ticket, I ask this:

You would rather put our country through 4 more years of GWB aka Grandpa McCain, rather than vote for your party and for change?

That's disgusting.

Good choice.

Go Obama Go

Brilliant finesse!

Give me a break Clinton supporters. She LOST plain and simple no one stole it no one changed the rules. SHE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to any site libreal or conservative and they all have articles telling how and why she lost. She had no plan after Feb.5th. To tell you how dum her inner circle was Mark Penn thought California was winner take all and the delagates were not split.

The problem with the Clinton campaign is she had all YES people around her. A similiar campaign had the same theme and that was George Bush the only difference he won.

Without HILLARY CLINTON obama is going to win prsidential race anyway

He. the senator, must make the decision, too many cooks spoil the pot!

May I ask what happened to my thoughtful, and kind comments that I just submitted?

Caroline Kennedy…now theres an expert (?)

But she fits into the "all fluff and no stuff" Obama campaign – the 15-second sound bite campaign.

Good Afternoon.

First I would like to say that you are the best. I would like to also mention something that has gone unmentioned in this campaign. This should have been brought up in South Carolina but because of a lack of knowledge between two cultures it was over looked. What was over looked was the notion that Bob Johnson is some how a respected figure among African-Americans. As though we get our queue from him on who to vote for or how we identify ourselves. It was not until I moved back to the DC area that I found many African-Americans despise Bob Johnson. I have since found out that many Blacks around the country feel the same way towards him. Most Blacks feel as though he exploited Blacks in a terrible way to become rich. Most importantly we may be over looking how his comments affected Hillary in South Carolina. As you remember him bobbing up in down immaturely as he insulted Obama onstage. I believe that he like Bill brought up the race issue to the detriment of Hillary. Bob is one of these people that do not believe in Black on Black racism (but it does exist). If you think Blacks dislike racism they also dislike Black people trying to hold their on brothers and sisters back (Crabs in the bucket mentality). So Bob felt as though he could say anything about a Black person to destroy him and his character. Hillary also made a mistake here by letting Bob have too much rope in getting on that stage. But to her credit she does not know Black people as well as she thinks she does or our culture. African-American people are smart and talented and ready to be looked at for our academic prowess more so than our physical abilities. Bob Johnson is truly a joke to most Black people. God bless him for his success but he hurt her dearly. But know one will say it.

Thanks

It won't matter much if it's not Hillary.

TIME TO START THE SEARCH!!!!!!!

Some of these bloggers need a lot of therapy.

It's time all of us unite and fight!!!! If we do Hillary will take back what is rightfully hers!!! Hillary can expose the sexism that is rampant within the DNC and by doing so destroy and castrate that wholly male instrument. We must not let the fact that Obama received as many popular votes as Hillary dissuade us!!! We must not let the fact that Obama received more pledge delegates interfere!!!! We must not let the fact the Obama received more super delegates silence our screams. WE ARE WOMEN, HEAR US ROAR!!!!

Hillary can still win as long as she continues to run her campaign the way her women supporters run their lives; with an absence of logic and decisions based purely on emotion.

HILLARY FOR PRES. IN '09

Fantastic! Never Clintons, please!!
We are flat sick and tired of them and their sense of "entitlement." This great country is for "We The People." Not owned by selfish power hungary folks. She is all about her and Bill's self interest.

I can't see how Hillary can accept spot # 2. I think she's not saying anything so she doesn't sound like a spoiler. I don't believe for one minute that she has to put the party ahead of her own interest. After all, SHE wants to be President. Being a Democrat is just a coincidence.

Hillbillery just can't get it through her head that "it's over" – go on with your life, Hill, and let America get on with fresh, new life with Obama.

clinton is not the only person that should be looked at.
and oh yeah,Obama won the popular vote as well after last night.
anyone notice how some clinton supporters are always so-angry.like they're foaming at the mouth?weird.
they are just sore losers.get over it already.
edwards' supporters,romney supporters,and others didn't act like this.

choosing hilary as VP will be the bigest mistake of Obama political life. That women showed last night how selfish and arrogant she is along with her husband, think they care about democrat or america think again.

"I do not belong to an organized political party. I am a Democrat."

/popcorn

Clinton!

No HIllary for VP!
She needs to accept that she did not win. I am tired of her delusional narcissism. What has she done that she gets to put her interests above those of her party or her country? What has she done to deserve that sort of consideration? Nothing.

I agree Hillary lost her chance at VP by not even acknowledging in her speech last night that Obama won the Democratic nomination. Talk about rude!

I want to go on record as the first to suggest that the Right Reverend Jeremiah Wright be chosen as Obama's running mate. He indicated while speaking at the Press Conference that he was open to the VP job if obama asks. He was good enough to provide Obam spiritual leadership for 20 years, he should be good enough to serve with Obama as VP!!!

We all know how good Carter's judgement is, that's why he was a one term ineffective president

Here he goes again. He picks "elitists" to head up his VP search. He still doesn't get it does he? Let's get ready to welcome President McCain.

I love you Barack Obama!

Isn't this a repeat of these 2 from 2004. Look what happened to Kerry enough said.

While I greatly respect the intellect of such a fine statesman as former President Carter, I would clearly NOT put campaign strategist on his resume. In point of fact, his historic foreign policy and humanitarian successes have often been overshadowed by his egregious and fundamental political missteps and blunders. If Mr Obama is looking for political counsel, I certainly hope he is looking elsewhere.

I want a Democrat in the White House. GWB ranks as one of the worst presidents in US history. Right up there with Buchanan and Warren G. Harding. (By the way… Carter is No. 11)

I voted for Hillary Clinton, along with nearly 18 million other democrats. If Mr. Obama takes the democratic nomination, it will be by the narrowest of margins. If he wants to take the White House, he will need all 18 million of us. Show Hillary the respect she deserves. He should show that he is a strong, forward-looking leader and ask her to be on the ticket with him. Of all the democrats that I have spoken to, the struggle they all had was that they liked them both and didn't want to choose.

What a great problem to have!!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
The "REAL FACES" are showing……………………

Good choice.

After last night's speech, Clinton did her supporters no good. They have fought hard to help her achieve the nomination. Clinton's campaign managers failed Clinton. They played a chess game on a board that is better suited to a game of Go and it showed.

The primaries are a 'members only' process in which the concept of vote as it would be defined in a general election does not apply. Her campaign team continues to fail to understand this even after being beaten. That failure is going to cost her a chance at the VP slot. And continued misunderstanding will probably make them lose a chance to impact the party's plank position at the convention.

No HRC!!!

What she did last night was a disgrace to the Democratic party and process. And what her supporters are doing trying to strong-arm Obama into putting her on the ticket is the ultimate disrespect to Mr. Obama. No one would be doing that to her, if the positions were switched.

THe difference is MCCLINTON VOTER, is that we aren't going to let the sleazy people CHEAT voters in November. NOT THIS TIME!

OBAMA FOR AMERICA

That's is great to pick Caroline Kennedy just putting her to help wiyh the V.P. is still in the move for change. Stay away from the Clintons as far as possible he had the liberty to pick a outsider even no one from Washington. President Obama had a very nice ring to it so it had to b someone difference than V.P. Hillary,Hillary please no,no and no.

What does Caroline Kennedy know about what the people of America want? She has stayed out of politics and the public eye until now? Was she already asked to be VP? That would explain her sudden attraction to politics. Obama is the presumitive nominee. Until the conventions, no one including McCain, are the nominees. the convention is when the actual votes will be given, until then anything can happen. I will wait until the convention to see the actual results. Out of three possible scenarios on popular votes, Obama is ahead in only one. He is not my nominee. If he is the actual nominee in August and that seems likely, I will at that time know how I will vote in November. I suspect I will have to vote for Hillary, by write-in.

Colin Powell!! Wow what an interesting thought!!

Why doesn't Obama choose Caroline Kennedy!? He's looking right at her – that would be great!

Luke….Check your facts, Pal. The Republicans wanted Hillary as the Dem nominee, and now they are pushing that she be the VP…. Don't you wonder WHY they are pushing so hard??

Because 50% of America HATES her and will NEVER vote for her, and the GOP base will be SO GALVANIZED IF SHE'S THE vp that McCain could win in a big upset, whereas it should be a Democrat victory for sure this year.

She LOST !!! GET OVER IT !!

The worst thing Obama could do to himself and his campaign, as well as quite possibly his personal safety and health, is pick Hillary Clinton to be his running mate. Period. He's smart enough to know this, but I hope he doesn't cave in to any pressure that might be applied to him to do this.

Hillary and Bill and John McCain couldn't sink his credibility. Wright, Ayers, and Pfleger couldn't sink his credibility. All the freaks who make a big deal out of his middle name couldn't sink his credibility. But you can be darn sure he can sink his own credibility like the Titanic by picking her as his running mate. It would cause a lot of people to lose faith in him.

He would lose most of the votes from independents and moderates, and get zero votes from Republicans or "Obamacans." He would still not get very many of the racist Dixiecrats and reverse sexists to vote for him. And all for what – to pacify the "Let's Go McCain" freaks, or to win New York state, which he will win anyway? Not worth it, sorry. I don't endorse the New York Observer's endorsement.

WHAT'LL YOU BET CAROLINE KENNEDY PICKS HERSELF…AGAIN, IT IS WITH PEASURE I WILL VOTE AGAINST OBAMA AND FOR MCCAIN….WISE UP, PEOPLE.

No Hillary?

NOBAMA!!!

I guess I'll be a McCain Democrat.

Who cares? Did the Kennedy connection help him win California? It won't help him win the election either. Without the Clinton supporters, Obama is toast.

Barack Obama continues to exhibit great wisdom–in fact, Caroline Kennedy would not only make a great advisor, she would be a great running mate!

Why wouldn't Senator Obama ask Senator Clinton to head up and conduct the VP search? She can make her big announcement at the convention which will build drama and attract a large audience. She may nominate herself but this way he doesn't have to ask. He's off the hook with his people, he looks magnanimous and her people will be happy with her choice if it is not her.

Wonderful!! Let's get the ball rolling. Yes We Can!!!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
SHAME on any Hillary supporter who will vote for McCrazy because they dislike Obama and cannot fathom her defeat. You people are NOT Democrats… and will have blood on your hands if your support for the Republican war machine proves successful. You people are pathetic and clearly have no clue what another Republican presidency would do to this fragile country. Go ahead, hate Obama… but at a minimum, recognize even if he was 2% better as a president than the current businessmen in power… and the senior citizen running against him… he's still 2% better and might even be 99% better. Which dice would you rather role. We know what we will get with McCain… we don't know what we will get with Obama. Those are odds I would take. Now wake up America…. the world is watching if you screw it up, AGAIN.

Anyone but Hillary! I am 52 and from Wisconsin. I voted in our primary for Barack as a vote against Hillary and then I began to like who I voted for. I am looking forward voting for a democrat for president for the first time in my life. If Hillary is on the ticket, it is back to republican for me.

"Obama takes aim at McCain"????? What with? A Ten-Pin, Ball…

No Hillary. She has deen disrespectful and said many damaging things about Obama during the campaigne. So has Bill.

Obama needs to pick someone he can trust. Put Hillary in cabinet as Sec of Health.

He needs to be his own man! He can win without her

OBAMA 08 YES WE CAN!

Wow! YeeHaa! That should show Clinton and her Campaign Manager and Yucky, Icky, Goowie that they are not so tough that Senator Obama can't find his own VP. I believe that Senator Clinton has disrespected Senator Obama more than enough and and she should start believing that "HE IS A BLACK MAN THAT BEAT HER TO THE NOMINATION" and get over it. I am so sick of her I don't know what to do. I pray that she is now on the LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG list instead of the short list. She is a sore loser and a very nasty campaigner along with her husband and campaign people. They are still trying to divide the Democratic Party and that they don't care about the people for real!

Hillary should be in Barack Obama's rear view mirror. He is far too
decent a man to have to deal with the Clintons.

I think that this is a slap in the face to Hillary telling her to grow up and learn how to play politics. This is great – I love it! Every decision Barack Obama makes is carefully crafted, calculated, and delivered with flawless articulation. I have to say that Rush Limbaugh is a crazy nut bag, too, and he is feeding a bunch of Americans garbage.

THANK-YOU GOD. I was getting so worried that he would allow Hilary to rain on his parade.
Caroline Kennedy is an excellent choice because the VP must exemplify the type of Presidency that Obama wants to capture and he looks up to Senator Kennney and Caroline is obviously in close contact with her uncle.
Get it?
Hilalry cannot run this show.

Senator Clinton for Veep! – Obama/Clinton '08

This Dem thinks it's ultimatly Obamas choice and it should not be forced from the other side. I'm glad Caroline is in on the search!!!

How about Ted Kennedy? Then the Democrats could have TWO brain-damanged candidates on the same ticket.

Anybody but Hilary. Honestly. I don't trust his safety with her. She only thinks about herself. I know Obama will make the right decision and it is only to benefit Americans.

Obama 2008!! I love it!

This is a great idea.
And to the comment above-these people had nothing to do with searching with v.p. for mondale,or kerry.
God-when will these rabid hrc supporters get a grip.
She lost!
Stop whinning!
The Clinton's thought they could strong-arm their way into this.Not gonna happen.She's not the only person fit to be v.p.
And she's crazy because she can't even admit she lost.

**********************************
************************************
All you embittered Clintonites are pathetic! Enough with your day late dollar short threats already! Go on and vote for McCain I dare you! All this "he needs her more than she needs him" is such a joke. Is that so? Then why did your horse lose? Oh right that vast conspiracy? Only left wing this time?? Give me a break, Obama does not need her, please have fun throwing your vote away on McCain, and PRESIDENT OBAMA will see you in 2009
************************************
**********************************

Emma – for Hillary to be considered for VP, she first has to acknowledge Barack's win and concede, don't you think? Once she has done that, I am sure she will get on the short-list. Like many others.

Now wait a minute – Hillary made it very clear that Obama did not measure up to either her, or McCain, as a presidential candidate.

If she were to accept the VP role under Obama, it might look like her previous words were nothing more than a disingenuous lie!

GOOD TO KNOW THAT CAROLINE IS AMONG THOSE IN THE SEARCH TEAM! AT SOME POINT soon OBAMA WILL HAVE TO CALL HILLARY'S BLUFF! That will TESTIFY TO HIS STRENGTH AS A LEADER WHO CANNOT BE BULLIED OR BLACKMAILED. That is a sterling quality of Ronald Reagan: He is a compromiser; but no patsy. People saw a leader who is prepared to take risk. Obama IS doing everything to woo the Clinton some of their supporters; but it is clear that they will never co-operate or compromise. They will not be easy to work with; they only want a fight and talk about what might have been. Obama then must face up to them without fear. If they will rather have eight more years of George Bush, bugged down in an endless war in Iraq, huge tax break for the rich, elimination of women's right to choose by more conservative judges at the Supreme Court, more economic malaise, lobbyists' controlled of politics in Washington, etc, then he doesn’t need their votes! Obama will always have his detractors; but his resolve will earn him respect and most Americans will rally to give him the resounding support he needs to carry forward his vision. He will appear weak should he succumb to blackmail (as Mondale did years back and later lost). One of the reasons Mondale lost was the baggage of the husband of his running mate, just as Bill Clinton will be should Obama choose Hillary as a running mate. Obama cannot continue on a path of indefinite appeasement. His enemies will only become emboldened. That will ultimately contribute to his own destruction. This is true of especially internal enemies who are determined to do you harm—and who have predicated and calculated their rise upon something bad happening to you. Obama will never please them! Therefore, he must demonstrate strength and courage. May God give him Solomon’s wisdom as he seeks to resolve the difficult issues ahead. Surely, his enemies will never rest. Solomon moved swiftly to deal with his enemies. Then he ruled over a peaceable Kingdom! Obama’s enemies will never come to respect him unless he shows grit in taking them on. All America will see a leader who is prepared to take risk without fear!!! Enough is enough!!!

It would not be a good idea to have Hillary as VP, she is not a team player as was obvious in her speech last night.

Caroline Kennedy is very asute and savy political figure.

My guesses are Mark Warner, Hillary Clinton and Sebellious will be top 3.

And Please, I NEVER want to see Hillary and Bill Clinton's using
their lies and power as a V.P. Candidate!!!! Hillary and Bill have been
very disturbing thru this ordeal of primaries. After Obama won 14-15 States in a row, The Clintons at the last hour before Obama could even defend himself, broadcast a false story about Obama and Napta
in Canada. That is what tricksters they are as a team. Hillary and Bill
spread that rumor right before Ohio and Texas. I am thrilled that Obama won over all obstructions, including the reporting of the news
media. Actually I am a fan of CNN, but CNN did not one time give Obama a benefit. Therefore, THE MAN, won on his very own merit.
I love him and look forward for A CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

My heart broke when I heard the news about Ted Kennedy. My thoughts and prayers sincerely go out to him and his family. I pray
for them everyday. Thanks Caroline, for being "the rock". You are
special.

One has to wonder how Obama could select Hillary as VP when she clearly doesn't acknowledge Obama's nomination. So, fast forward to Nov 4th, and let's suppose that the Democrats win the white house with Hillary as VP. What happens when Obama asks for her support on difficult decisions, will she tow the line or be a thorn in his side? To govern effectively you have to be able to reach consensus or agreement within your own caucus and after Hillary's speech last night, she doesn't seem inclined to follow any one's leadership, but her own. That could be very dangerous especially as a VP. Sadly but true she may be signing her own demise that and perhaps her own party’s.

To all democrats willing to move this country in the right direction let's get to work and help Barack Obama get elected in November.

The only thing to say to Senator Clinton is, "See you later. Good luck in the Senate."

( No vice presidential offer. No way. No how. Never.)

LUKE YOU MUST BE THE REPUBLICAN BECAUSE HILLARY IS A DUMB IDEA. SHE CANT BE TRUSTED…..

This man really knows how to do things right and proper. Good luck Mr. President!!

they're wasting time and resources in the search.

Just choose Hillary

She's right in front of you; Hillary is the only and BEST Choice!

Just about anyone EXCEPT Clinton. WH NO PLACE FOR CLINTONS.

Please pick anyone other than Hillary!!!! Please ( I am begging)

Obama 08

Sounds Great!!

Obama and ABC (Anybody But Clinton) 08′

OBAMANATION 08′

YES WE CAN!

Pick Hillary and you two can go far!!!!

You two can beat McCain!!

Obama/Clinton

I will support Obama no matter who he picks for VP.

Democrat 110%

Obama is defining a brilliant new course for the United States. He should do so with other brilliant, future-thinking, trusted advisors. By definition, "trusted" excludes H. Clinton, B. Clinton, and all their "fight-to-the-death" advisors and lackies. H. Clinton cannot even see thru her fog of fury to concede with grace and respect.

Count me in as a Platinum Member of the ABH Club…anyone-but-her.

Absolutely, positively ABH, ABH, ABH, ABH!!!!

OBAMA 08
OBAMA 12

Carter is the worst president? I personally don't remember that being the case… Even if my memory is clouded, the WORST president honor categorically goes to George W. Bush. Hands down!

Good for them! I hope they can find a good VP candidate who will bright back the demographics Barack Obama lost during the primaries.

What a wonderful Move! I say Caroline Kennedy for Vice President! Obama/Kennedy 08!

No HILLARY!!!

This VP Team for Obama is great. Paticulary, Caroline Kennedy, who is respected world-wide.

I do hope that Clinton is not selected. Obama does not need her. He can win the presidency with other well-qualified candidates. She and her team may want to send a signal that she is needed – but not so.

When will Hillary finally concede that she has lost the nomination and congratulate Obama?? Her ambition seems to blind her.

Thank you.

A true leader surrounds themselves with the best…and that is what makes the best team for change.

Great additions to the search team….now PLEASE…NO Hillary.

Give her something else to do but please do not offer her the VP position. It would be aweful!

See the lady in the pantsuit? Yeah, her. Just keep moving…

Will be very interesting to see who he chooses, I have faith in his judgement! He has handled the election so well and humble throughout the process, I believe he will make the right choice just as he has throughout the campaign season.

Joe Bidden

He would rather run and loose than have Hillary as him running mate.Hillary is everything Obama does not represents.It will probably be her only option since she wants to get inside the white house at any cost.
Too much baggage, too much Clintons.We have had enough.

And all those who advocate the good ol 90s – GET OVER IT.That was a good time, but sadly no one can bring it back.No one.The price of oil is never going to be less than $2 – EVER.Even if Hillary is the president and Bill her VP, even then.

Do whats right for you and your family and please please please THINK before you take any action.It should be based on logic, not emotions – cos one year down the lane when the gas prices are so high that –
you would rather get grocery than fill up the car or painfully realize you cant pay for gas to get to your your injured son/daughter who just came back from Iraq –
you will realize how much you gained by listening to your "emotions".

Can you afford gas at 5-6/gallon? I know i cant.I know i don't want to, though i am not middle income.

Think THEN Act !

Wow!!! This is exciting. I'm thrilled that Caroline Kennedy will be on the selection team. Great news!

Thats right find any one but Billary, He could have a Toad as his VP and still win, all of you Hillary crybabies go home and watch Oprah take care of your five children and get over it, The Drama Queen has lost and Obama can do it with out you or her.

The BEST of the BEST already pulling together…. wow….

Nothing like having the BEST people on your side.

WELL DONE, Sen. Obama

Now let's START focusing on beating John McShame!

Anybody but Hillary Clinton. Hell, take Bill first. LMAO

YAY! Proof that he CANNOT be bullied. Res Ipsa Baby, Res Ipsa Loquitor!!

Good luck,…yours is no easy task. May you be guided by love for our country and the Democratic party.

Wrong group again, Kennedys don't like Clinton and will make sure Clinton will not be VP. Democrates will go dow in November.

Pick a good candidate that will help bring change to the white house.

Hey, I'm gonna see Caroline Kennedy next week. I'm going to tell her not to choose Hillary…No matter what.

Wonderful.I hope they'll take a very serious look at Chuck Hagel.

Any body but Hillary.

I'm very glad to hear this is how he's handling this. Obama, is just plan smart and he is going to be a great President for the world to admire.

The "REAL FACES" are showing……………………

Here we go and choose a good VP. Could Caroline Kennedy be that person is a good question to answer.
I think Caroline would make a good VP for Obama.

HISTORY will be History. Time to make the Again will take serious consideration on behalf of the Obama camp. A quick decission will unite the party and all eyes and ears will be looking at the running mate.
Clintons should have shown the sportsman sprit which as usual they did not……..playing the same old politics again…..its time to turn the page for reals.
Get on with the business and people will follow and make it happen for the dems in november.

GO OBAMA, WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION WHICH YOU WILL. ONCE YOU AND MCCAIN START HAVING DEBATES AND YOU WIPE THE FLOOR WITH HIM, THERE WILL BE NO COMPARISON.

That definately means that they will be looking elsewhere especially
after Hillary's disrespectful display of defiance last night.

Please Ms. Kennedy and Mr. Holder – Don't pick Hillary Clinton.

Imagine her divisiveness in the white house!!!!

LOL

Obama needs Hillary more than She needs him. VP very important step for OBAMA. Choose Wisely young man.

HILLAY 08

Anyone but the Hildabeast

Why are they even doing this just give it to Hillary. Obama needs her and he would be one of the most unintelligent politicians ever if he didn't pick her.

What an excellent move! By adding Caroline Kennedy and Eric Holder to the VP search team, Barack Obama has exhibited his ability to place and empower the right people around him. Great leaders are made not by what they specifically do, but by selecting the people around them that will carry out their agenda.

Let's see…Rove, Cheney, Ashcroft, Scooter……hmmmmmmm!

Please no Hillary. Every independent I know will not vote (D) if she is on ticket.

I am an Independent, who has not supported one candidate over another. If all Americans think for one minute we have a voice in this or any election forth coming you are mistaken. The elections are manipulated to sever the few high-powered in government.
Just look at the events of this campaign.
Lets be honest here, from day one the news media has been bias. They have not been fair to the candidates, nor given Americans the real truth behind the stories. They broadcast what they want us to hear and know. Have you ever noticed the clips they choose to show, clips that in most cases then not are negative, without out revealing the actual truth behind it.
The talking heads you see before your TV screens get there marching orders from the higher ups, who have already set the agendas.
These self-severing originations from the onset, picked a candidate and proceeded
To influence the American people with propaganda. The news media, journalist and ill informed annoying talking heads are part of America’s problem!

Sympathy for Senator Clinton, I think not! PROUD YES INDEED!!! She is a fighter, strong with many years of experience. She represents millions of strong Americans who will support her in whatever path she chooses.

Great team. The pick should be interesting. I still say pick KERRY!! That's a win, win.

Why are they even going this just give it to Hillary. Obama needs her and he would be one of the most unintelligent politicians ever if he didn't pick her.

OK – interesting. Not sure who the other members are or how that will impact the search, though. Maybe a bit more background, CNN?

Whatever they do please don't cave-in to the pundits who say that winning the election is about doing things the same-old way. If there is going to be change in Washington let's start with a change in how we handle the election process. Win us with your vision not with old strategies. That was Hillary's whole problem.

One of the reasons Obama won the nomination is that he surrounded himself with a quality team of people. He has done so again with this VP search committee. I'm sure they will provide him with a quality "short list" to choose from. I think Obama will make a great president because he will have qualified and competent people around him, and he will listen to their advice. And I expect he will have better options than Hillary to choose from…….her attempt to "upstage" him last night should remove her from serious consideration as the VP.

please go to hillary's website and submit a comment: ask her to stop down. tell her we don't want her as our VP. i already submitted my request and my friends have too. hillary needs to know that this has to stop: we cannot take her divisive rhetoric anymore…she has said too much trash about obama to know want to be his vp. she has to remind supporters that she is a democrat and that democrats should put the party first….mccain is another bush term.

obama generation 08

Now this looks like the right way to pick a VP. Good decision.

Caroline would be a wonderful choice for Obama's running mate

The true dream-team.

The only search he needs todo is choose Hillary as VP. Otherwise he will lose in November. I won't be voting for him without Hillary.. And that's a Vote Or No Vote For Obama You Can Believe In.

OK Obama team. Protect him from the Clintons. You guys no her. Obama will give her the benefit of doubt. But you know she's a snake, divisive, and you all of her baggage. Don't let him choose her.

Do you remember, a few months ago, the horrible specter that one candidate might win the popular vote but that the super delegates would go into a "smoke-filled room" and give it to the other one?
Do you remember, last week, that the rules committee would not make a decision about Florida and Michigan which would alter the outcome of the election?
Well, it looks like both things happened. Obama has 1,762 pledged delegates and could not have reached 2,118 without more than half of the super delegates, and Hillary would also have reached that threshold if she had received delegates according to votes in Florida and Michigan.
This situation has been unavoidable due to the closeness of the race, so I am not faulting Obama for it. I have no problem with congratulating Obama for his success in mustering the delegates to become the presumptive nominee, but I don't think that people should criticize Hillary for not accepting defeat more immediately and more explicitly. It’s not like his victory was won in the voting booth, after all.
The primary was a tie, at best, with the final decision determined only by 27 committee members and 680 super delegates. Why don't we just do the whole thing over again? If that's not really possible, perhaps we should all just respect each other a little bit and recognize that both of them could be on the ticket.
"`

Thank GOD! Maybe this means he is not even considering Hillary Clinton!!!!!!!

Lord Jesus I pray NOT!!!!!!! As much as I love Barack it would take a serious force for me to walk in and vote for him if he put Hillary Clinton on that ticket!

This is great news. Let him interview people who he feels is qualified not just what Clinton supporters want. I hope that these two will give an objective ear, but I am sure Obama has made sure of that already.

Ok Good. Can you strike out a name called " Hillary " from that list.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

What do they need to search?

More democrats voted for Hillary than Obama…..isn't it obvious who would be the best VP is Obama wins the nomination?

It looks like the Washington elite are determined to push their own egos and agenda and willing to lose this nomination in November.

If Hillary is not the VP you will have 18 million voters including this family that will be ticked off and will not only refuse to vote for Obama ….but will start campaigning for McCain.

We are tired of the DNC and the Washington Elite not listening to the American voters….which by the way voted overwhelming for Hillary.

This voter says NO to Obama ….NO to the WASHINGTON ELITE….
NO to FRAUD!…….NO OBAMA

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO CLINTONS PLEASE…………….

OBAMA 08

It's certainly going to be a difficult decision–lots of fantastic choices out there. I'm particularly fond of the governor of Kansas. I also love Biden, but am afraid he puts his foot in his mouth too often (even if he's right almost all of the time!). Bloomburg and Hagel if he wants to bolster his moderate supporters disillusioned by McCain (and to balance out all the Clinton supporters putting themselves above party and principle).

I can't wait until the ticket is established!

KENNEDY FALL IN THE SAME RIVER YOU LEFT YOUR SECRETARY IN. You are a worthless piece of junk. YOU DESERVE TO BE RIGHT THERE SUPPORTING OBAMA. TWO SNAKES TOGETHER. ALONG COMES A MONGOOSE, WHERE DID THE SNAKES GO?

Run on an Independent ticket HILLARY.

give me a feaking break!!!!
Caroline?
who is she picking???? Oprah??????

The worst thing is to take Clintons back in the white house. Obama can win this thing alone once he shows people the difference between himself and the mccain who want to perpetuate George Bush's third term!

Caroline Kennedy for VP!

Hillary. Search done! Now pay me the $$$$ you were going to give them.

First who has listened to Carter in years?

Secondly, this is the first time in 20 years that I have turned CNN's best news team off. I have gone to MSNBC for my updates. CNN simply has supporter campaigning on the shows for thier candidates. There is no real political analysis.

This is Wonderful News !!! With a Kennedy On the Team You cannot go wrong !! Music to My ears… I have always loved and admired the Kennedys…… This Makes My day even better….. Obama Suporter in Wisconsin

… Make sure that there is no HRC in there! …

…some people think they have the RIGHT / ENTITLEMENT … and interpret HRC as Human Right Campaign (no offence for the tenacious Lany Davis) !! …

The search is on! Let's hope the result is NOT Hillary!!

These are smart people. They won't pick Hillary.

The media is still obsessed with the Clintons…..Time to move on and stop overshadowing Obama's victory!

Not good enough – Caroline should be tapped as VP! What more could signify the change that Obama promises? A squeaky clean VP – how's that for change?

Obama/Hagel 08 or Obama/Sebelius 08, please.

Now Caroline Kennedy, there's a person with profound qualifications in such matters. With all due respect, she was – what, five years old when JFK died?

Thank goodness they are putting some thought into this selection and not succumbing to pressure from Stonewall Clinton.

Look to the future not the past, Obama. Clinton in publicly angling to become VP diminishes Obama if he picks her (caving into pressure)and diminishes Obama if he doesn't (ramps up the anger of the Clinton supporters). A machiavellian ploy by the Clintons I'm afraid.

I guess Hillary also underestimated her inevitability of VP also.
Especially after her disgraceful performance last night in her defiance
to acknowledge Senator Obama's earned win. Oh well, while
Hillary is still "campaigning", I guess Senator Obama will be busy
with his new vice-presidential selection team, looking for a VP that
will work with him.

Obama 08.

Don't make the mistake of selecting Hillary Rodham Clinton your VP. I am a fan of Bill Clinton, not Hillary. Their time was their time. However, in the wake of the unfolding events during the primary, I am hard-pressed to believe that she will act in good faith. Not just the primary campaign tactics she exhibited, but the defiance in her speech on 06/03/08 did I fully understand that she would be a Democratic Dick Cheney. As much as it used to be considered a "dream ticket," it would be a nightmare ticket. She has exposed so much that I feel there are irrepairable differences. She, to me, is like trying to let your wounds heal while still wearing the same old dirty band aid that could cause an infection.

Caroline, I love you for coming out first for Obama.
Thank you Carol

WAIT, Hillary said it isn't over yet!

What is it with these old men? Hillary should be vice president if she can't be president. Come on, good old boys (and girls). Hillary is the only choice.

this is a beautiful movement

If Hillary is to become VP or anyone else for that matter then let the rehearsals begin.

Dems want to see and hear potential VP's jump and chime in whenever the Republican Smear Machine attacks.

Just please keep Geraldine Ferraro, James Carville, Joe Scarborough, and worst of all Bob Johnson and that big mouth lady Susan ?-Jones that was yelling in the camera after Saturday's DNC meeting.

Heidi

Search is over!
Hillary Clinton for VP!

Only Republicans trying to ruin the democrats are aganist the idea.

CONGRAD MR. PRESIDENT
LET'S MOVE THE COUNTY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Caroline Kennedy shoud be the VP

What makes Caroline Kennedy an expert on this?
Enough said.

wow, Kennedy will make us proud with the choosing….

This is wonderful.

Excellent move. This is the best way to deal with the Billaryites. More importantly, it is a great way to get the best fit for VP. Good people to help make a good decision.

Please choose wisely we have faith on you!!!

YES!

Let's get this VP selection on! No to Hillary!

Now watch… some of her bitter supporters will now threaten that if Hillary is not on Obama's ticket they won't vote!!! (:

Glad I am on the winning team!

THEY WILL VETT THE HOPEFULS FULLY AND FAIRLY

WELCOME

More signs that Clinton, while on the "short list," can probably kiss her chances goodbye.

no clinitons

Anybody but Billary

God job Obama you should put Colin Powell on that team also along with Al Gore.

Smart. Very smart.

The same folks that worked "wonders" for Kerry and Mondale?

ROFLMAO!!!!

wow! Smart intellegent people looking for his VP, then you know the VP would also be a change candidate. Not a candidate with name or usual politics. Exciting!!!!!!!

Obama '08

Thats GREAT !!! Send the Clintons that VERY CLEAR message that LIFE GOES ON, and they can either play along and support him, or GET OUT OF THE WAY.

Excellent and proper move.

Thank you!!!! Find the best person for the job!!!
