Although this would virtually guarantee the Democrats the White House, I believe this would be a "marriage" made in hell.

Hillary won't take a back seat to anyone and the vice-president is supposed to take care of the small tasks that the president cannot, or will not, do.

If she can resign herself to the "helper" role in this mixture (keeping their heated discussions behind closed doors), then they will have a good 8 years with Obama and then Hillary would be a shoe-in for 2016.

Let him lose on his own since he has all the media, the rich and the young. Let them get him elected. She's a better candidate than he is and he knows that and knows that he needs her. It's not that I don't want her on the ticket, but more that I DON'T WANT HIM TO BY MY PRESIDENT!! PERIOD! I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM NO MATTER WHO IS ON THE TICKET WITH HIM. NEVER!!

WHY IS ALL HER CROONIES TRYING TO RUN OBAMA WHITE HOUSE?
THIS IS HIS CHOICE AND HIS ONLY

just let him make his mind up
prusser is no good

I agree the he should consider her, but not be bullied or pressured into it like Davis and a lot of other Clinton surrogates have tried to go about the process.

She refusede to concede, but does she think she has a chance to capture the VP spot by being defiant and arrogant. She forgets that Obama is in the drivers seat, not her.

The way she acted last night, I think she pushed herself out of any position to bargain on the VP spot.

Amen!

Lanny, This is our petition for a NO for Hillary as VP.

No. Alot of Obama supporters would not like this. You are gonna have most Democrats vote for whomever the Democratic nominee is but there will be some who absolutely will not vote for Obama because he is African American and because Hillary lost. It's sad but it shows in the polls everyday. After all of the attacks that have went on during this primary as well as her taking it to the bitter end when she knew that she basically did not have a chance to secure the nomination. I must admit that she got alot of votes but Obama got just as many {if not more}. He should not be forced to make Hillary and Bill his VP. If people are gonna vote for McCain for this reason and he wins then they deserve everything they get over the next four years. The majority of Americans poured out and voted for Bush in 2000 & 2004 and look what happened. It's tme for a change in the White House and not just a change of faces but also a change of policies and the Democratic nominee offers the best chance we have for change. Before I go I want to ask this question. Would Hillary have made Obama her V.P. if she had won the nomination?

Surely Lanny Davis is kidding! Hillary ,as Seth points out ,has not even ackowledged Obama's victory. She still is in her 'when I'm president' mode. She would not be a good choice for many reasons - one of the main ones being that Bill would be tagging along. Yikes - think of the trouble he could get her into - not to mention himself. The Clinton's are very poor losers. Bill Clinton is an angry man - Lanny looks like another angry man!!

Interesting tactics but ineffective and in the end harmful to the Clinton legacy.

This is like a sports team losing a game and refusing to leave the court or field until they get the result that they want. If Hillary is that interested in being VP, she should have drop out of the race aftewr Super Tuesday. I agree with Mark, Hillary or any other Clinton is NOT owed anything by the american people. Everyone must realize that it will take decades to erase the failures of the Bush admistration.

i could live with HILL as VP…if thats what Obama wanted to do… but her inhuman ,racist vile " HILLARY or MCCAIN" supporters really make it hard to pull for her at this point. But i also know not all HILL supporters are raving lunatics.

but i pride myself on keeping an open mind… only a fool closes his mind to the possibilities.

No. She is not presidential material. She is not vice-presidential material. I hope that the state of New York determines that she is not even senatorial material. I hope Sen. Obama selects a candidate that shares his sense of moral dignity…someone like John Edwards…

Is there a petition we can sign to send Lanny Davis out of the country?

no no no. why should she be on this ticket? she and her supporters are owed respect. well waht about obama and his supporters. no, no, no. too much baggage, divisive, sense of entilement, i could go on and on

NO to hilary for the VP spot. She is a scourge and will lead to Obamas demise if he lets her on the ticket.

The Audacity of Dopes, yes?

For MONTHS…she's trashed him as unelectable, elitist, inexperienced, and not representative of America…

And now you expect him to kowtow to sour grapes supporters? There's no place for this kind of politics anymore, don't you understand???

You lost. And until you RECOGNIZE that fact, there's no discussion about you being the congressional JANITOR…let alone a VP candidate.

Where's the respect for the new leader of the Democratic Party????

Is there a petition urging him NOT to choose her? I'd like to sign up for that one, if there is!

This is ridiculous! it seems Clinton surrogates are trying to force her on the VP ticket now. The choice is Obama's and he should Not choose Clinton as a running mate. The match looks good on paper, but I don't think it can work. Her personality is too overpowering… she does not come off as a "team player".

Senator Clinton could have conceded defeat graciously. She was far from gracious.

No VP spot for her until she learns how to be a team player!

Lanny, you look awful tired of lying and being a wuss so much.

Anyway, Obama will make his choice, just as he has up to this point. His judgment has defeated the most powerful political dynasty this country has ever seen. That is his choice to make, not anybody elses.

You look like you need about 1 or 10 drinks so quit whining about VP choices and drink your sorrows away.

I heard a good idea today - instead of being in Obama's shadow, why not head up HHS - Health Care and all the other stuff she so strongly believes in. A really good position and a very worthy cause, with accolades for accomplishments.

I guess I spoke too soon, looks like Clinton created a heck of a devide…

Seems strange that Hillary didn't have the grace to congradulate Barack's on his win. I wonder, since Hillary refuses to back out of the race, IF something were to happen to Obama and he wasn't able to complete his bid for President, would Hillary automatically become the Presidentual candidate or would there be another Election? We already know what happens if the President is unable to continue his term the Vice Pres. takes over but what if the party's pick after the Primary stage can't continue? It's never happened in the History of USA but we are having a lot of "First time ever" in American history in the last 10 years or so from the First time in history American was atacked on Her soil with the 911 to the First Black Presidentual canditate in election history. Never thought about it before but what if McCain wasn't able to continue? How would the Rep. Party fill his slot? What if any safe guards are built in? If American has learnt anything from the last 10 years it should be that we should prepare for the worst and pray for the best always.

After her speech where she still says she got more votes and would be the better canadiate, just dismissing his selection as the selection of the people, he has the most delegates, isn't that how we select a canadiate? If he selected her now he will appear weak and it would show he can't handle pressure, if he can't handle it from his own party how could he deal with a world leader from another superpower. He should be nice to her and not cave in to her demands.

Given the skeletons Hillary has in her closet she would probably be more of a liability than a help.

Also, Obama would have to hire a food taster.

Shame on you Lenny, you constantly say that you have unanswered questions regarding Sen. Obama, why oh why are you trying to stomp out this man's victory. Who gives you the authority to decide who should be the VP. Let's celebrate the moment and get behind Sen. Obama and allow him to make his decision when the time is right.

She will never be the veep.

Obama should not talk to the Clintons about VP or anything else until she withdraw from the race. At this point, she will still be campaigning after he is sworn in as president.

When she repeated the ignorant statement by one of her supporter which said, "It's not over until the lady in the pantsuit say it's over," that went to her head. She loves the sound of her name being called much more than she loves the party.

Lanny, give it up. Your candidate lost because she/her staff did not run a good campaign as where Senator O'Bama did. The American people have spoken and now it's time for you/Senator Clinton to move on. We do not want Senator Clinton as our President, nor do we want her husband in the Whitehouse. The Clinton era is over, so just move on. Senator O'Bama beat the so-called "Clinton machine" and you're just upset/jealous that he did.

Senator O'Bama can/will win without Senator Clinton on the ticket. Please, do you honestly feel that the American people are going to elect a Republican after all President Bush, VP Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld have done to this country?

It's a good day in America today!!!

Please, Senator Obama, do NOT choose Hillary to be your VP. That would be a disaster. She is divisive, egotistical, calculating, and self-serving. The only cause that she consistently adheres to is her own pursuit of power. You would be hurting your chances to be elected if you chose her. I would never vote for any ticket that had Hillary on it.

RELAX people!! These are just the Hundreds of people who will be unemployed unless she gets SOME kind of power in the Whitehouse.

She goes back to NY and they ALL lose their Clout AND Jobs.

Let them flail about. Welcome to the Job Market created by BUSH!!!

What a crock, she lost, it's over, bedtime bill, so you lost because of your aragonce, and now loosing all the political clout you have with
more of the same. What a pitiful ending to a great political team.
You have also missed one of the great moments in American history,
by forgeting what America is all about.
Through out our history there have been special momoent, that show
the world why we are a great country, and this is one of them.

Lanny Davis has consistently been ONLY interested in getting Hillary Clinton into office - regardless of who is hurt in the process, regardless if it damages his party's chances of winning the White House, or regardless of the consequences of a potential third Bush term.

Lanny is no friend of the Democratic Party or, frankly, the American people.

And, by the way, Jim Webb is far and away the best complement for Obama.

Okay. Let's talk about REAL party unity. To have Senator Clinton on the ticket would be a way to garner an additional 18 MILLION votes. This isn't rocket science people. The numbers would be helpful. It is sad to see that many do not view Senator Clinton as a change agent. Even Senator Obama has said as much. Here is where REAL humility must come into play. If we all want what's best for the party, then we, as supporters of either candidate must give a little to get 4 years of Democratic rule in return. Senator Clinton earned her right to be celebratory last night. She congratulated Senator Obama and almost guaranteed that in the next few days she'll offer her support. We are ALL human and deserve better than resorting to the sheer anger that often appears on these posts. Are we all ready to be humble and really offer party unity. It starts with each of us as individuals…regardless of which candidate you favor. If any of us answers "no" to this need for coming together…then sadly we do not deserve real change.

DEMOCRATS '08!

Diane Feinstein would be a far better choice than Hillary! Why pick the a liar who does not do her homework or required reading before she voted to squander America's young soldiers lives and a trillion health care and education dollars by iniating the war in Iraq.

Mike

this petition's reply :

your communication has been forwarded to the committe in charge of selecting running mate

thank you,
Barack.

Lanny, please please let it go! Hillary has all the talents in the world to be a great president, but, she has a "Bill" problem. Worrying about bimbo eruptions, library donor problems, his business dealing problems, and his lack of personal control would make it difficult for Obama and Hillary to run a "change" campaign. I can see the right wing hate duo of Limbaugh and Hannity licking their chops over a Clinton on the ticket. She is a great senator and a top tier leader in our party and will be able to help shape the change that we need much more effectively as a Senator.

Doesnt She Have Work To Do In The Senate!

I no longer have any respect for Hill & Bill. They are so determined to detroy the Democratic Party and if this happens I will not longer be a part of the political process. Obama has so much more to lose with Hillary on the ticket. She is not a team player.

Unless Hillary plans to extend the exceptional Cheney model, the vice-presidency isn't worth a bucket of warm spit.

Obama ought to offer her the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services, and let her become the "Health Care Tsarina."

By the way, I hate the tsar (or czar) moniker, because we forget how brutal those SOB's were. Why don't we call the position Drug Fuhrer, for instance?

AS Hillary has stated no one should be forced to leave the race,surperdelegates should be able to chose whom they see fit. So the winning nominated candidate should be able to chose whom they see fit.

Barak need to pick his vice president quickly to get rid of her ones and all.

Unprecedented extortion attempt. Legacy = toast.

Now can the media and everybody who doesn't like our next president stop spreading lies about him that would very kind of you thanks. God also called he said leave my great creation for this nation alone. thanks again

obama 08

i know that it is hard for you to say Hillary but let me help you

President Barack Obama

now see how nice that sounds. you're doing great keep it up i'll check back on ya in a few days.

you can launch 1000 petitions and we will still say NO!!!

The Gall of these people to try and FORCE Obama to choose this woman after all she has said and done to and about him.

There are MANY qualified men AND Women for that job that RESPECT Obama.

Maybe a Supreme Court Justice, but not VP. I hate to rain on her parade, for all that she has done, and she has done quite a few noble things, but Senator Clinton is not trustworthy, she has her own objectives, and as she demonstrated so aptly last night, if she doesn't get what she wants, nobody should. Don't be fooled women of America. She is for self and self , only. Remember, the last time, the Clinton's were Black, and it worked!

This Dave is Hillary's slave. Kick this guy out.
SAY NO TO HILLARY FOR VP
OBAMA (2008 -16)

So, Hillary runs a really negative campaign against Obama, and then wants to force him to take her as his VP? This woman is so power hungry it is ridiculous. Obama should have the right to choose whoever he wants and not be railroaded into picking Hillary just because she has some political clout. All the people pushing Hillary as VP need to back off and let Obama pick for himself. If I were him I wouldn't trust her for a second. She is a sore loser and should have bowed out long ago, but by staying in and making it really divisive, I think she was planning this for awhile. She knew she couldn't win, but she knew if she refused to bow out and tried to make things divisive her supporters would try to strong arm Obama in the end. I have said before she is a very calculating person, and knows how to play the political game dangerously well.

This is Obama's decision, not Hillary's. When will she learn that she is no longer in control?

I hope not.

He was laughable on cnn last night, as was Hillary.

The behavior of the Clinton campaign last night is not the way to secure the Vice Presidential nod. If that is what she wants, then she needs to conceed the race, do more than say "congratulations to Mr. Obama for running a fine campaign" and start acting like a Vice President rather than a selfish, narcisistic little "mean girl."

Now can the media and everybody who doesn't like our next president stop spreading lies about him that would very kind of you thanks. God also called he said leave my great creation for this nation alone. thanks again

obama 08

i know that it is hard for you to say Hillary but let me help you

yes we can
yes we can
yes we can

and last night HE did.

If she wants to be the VP then she needs to bow out the Presidential race first, why does she have a problem which publicy announcing that she has lost. Bow out and then get the invite to be VP. But as we know she has had problems with Obama's wins all year, she does not like to acknowledge when he wins, if she "grows up" then maybe Obama will talk to her, but at least give the man his respect and acknowledge that he defeated and stop with all the "threats", this is typical Clinton style…..threats….threats…..threats…..

Second, why does she need apetition to be VP….Hmmmmmm

This is Obama's call. Not someone looking for a job out of the Clinton campaign. She would not have given him a chance if the tables were turned.

Hillary keeps claiming the popular vote. After Months of hearing her shout "Count Every Vote' how can she then disenfranchise 5 states in which caucuses were held? These votes are not being counted in her fuzzy math.

Obama won the popular vote (all states included) AND the delegate count.

Barack owes Her nothing but a congratulations on the run.

Has anyone crunched the number to see what if all the superdelegates vote based on out come of their state?

I see lot of super delegates claiming to base their decision on the will of the people. What would be the numbers if this rule is applied to all super delegates? I think their is some double standard here.

I think Hillary would do much better with such number.

If her name is anywhere on that ticket, you can count me out.. I did not pay money for Obama to pick the person I was not sending money to. I am 99% sure he won't pick her. Maybe a female, but NOT the vice queen. No thanks. I am not bashing her, just think her political carrer is done. She hurt Obama more than Mcbush EVER COULD and it will be hard to forgive her for her action which were awfull. Vilie woman…..and greedy too.

Barack Obama is the nominee. He will be the one that chooses his running mate, not any Hillary supporter. She needs to go away for awhile and let him do wwhat he needs to do. Democrats, Independents and, yes, even some moderate Republican's, will realize that a vote for Mccain or an anti-Obama no vote is a vote for 4 more years of the same failed economic and social policies, it is a vote for appointments of ultra conservative justices to the Supreme Court, and it is a vote against human rights. If they don't get it by then, they obviously don't want the government they say they do.
Hillary only hurts herself, her image and both her and Bill's legacys by failing to throw her support to the party nominee.

Obama supporters need to get off that high horse and start thinking logically. First of all the Clinton's or Bill Clinton saved America from disaaster in the 90's following the first Bush's mess. Just to give you guys a little history lesson, since most of you probably are voting for the first time ever and now you talk like you are political experts.

You can't dennounce 18 million Democratic votes, it was that close! If we want to take our chances in November that's fine, but we need to be smart.

A Obama-Hillary ticket is a guarantee in November.

Senator Clinton has been appallingly ungracious, self centered and selfish in her purposeful disrespect of Senator Obama's accomplishments throughout this campaign, and now his ultimate victory in this hard fought primary.
So tell me again why Lanny Davis thinks she should be considered as a vice presidential candidate? As the Seth noted earlier, she has not even acknowledged him as the nominee…so how would she treat him throughout his term as President? This is NOT feasible match.

I have to say this guy is really devoted to Sen. Clinton.

This is amazing. How low can these Clinton supporters go? They are threatening Obama into taking Hillary as the VP.

What kind of message are we sending the young people watching this presidential election? That you can, lie steal, cheat and threaten people to get your way. I have lost all respect for all of Clinton's campaign people., There are so many people hating on Obama. He won this election fairly and worked hard and showed great character throughout.. That is not what I can say for Hillary and Bill.

Some people are starting to show their true ignorance, and it is not cute at all. The other countries are watching and they already have a low opinion of America. Wow, how much lower can these people go with this drama? She lost, and he doesn't have to pick her for VP. She can not accept defeat. What is wrong with this woman? I will pray for her she needs Jesus.

Senator Obama should not be forced into chosing Clinton as a running mate. It is plain to see she does not care about her party . This is all about her. She wanted to be the one to make history. She just can't accept the fact she has lost.

This campaign has shown me a new side of Clinton. She can not be trusted. She should not be VP.

Lanny——– we trust Obama to select his own VP and what's good for our party! This is not the Clinton's party any more!

Word from the Obama camp… they will not make any statements regarding Hillary as his VP! They want the media to send the silence answer……………………………..NO!

As a staunch Republican I am actually contemplating voting for Obama but choosing Hillary as his VP will squash any notion I have of supporting him.

Lanny Davis is a joke as is this petition. The choice of VP is the niminee's, not some biter group who spent money backing the loser. Go away Lanny. Go away Rendell. Go away Bob Johnson. And yes, Go Away Hillary!!!

To all those who are starting petitions for Hillary Clinton to be on the ticket for VP, please give Senator Obama credit to be able to make up his own mind as to who he wants. He is quite capable of chosing the right person.

Obama is not going to win over a very large share of usually loyal Democrats, including myself. I can't vote for a candidate who deliberately refused to compete in the Michigan primary, suppressed legislative efforts in Michigan to hold a new primary, then sent lawyers to the Rules Committee that he should steal Hillary's votes she earned in Michigan.

Now is the time to see if Obama has what it takes. He either goes for Hillary as VP, and gets an easy win for the White House, or mires himself in petty grudges, particularly Michelle's, and loses in November.

To answer your question commenter #1…this is about the People. And 18 Million of them said they want her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I already signed the petition at 8:45 this morning. If you want Baracky to win, Hillary's supporters must come aboard. The ONLY way to do that (I promise you) is to put her on as VP. Otherwise…Hello President McCain.

It is totally unfair to push Obama to choose Clinton because that is what she wants. This has not been done to any other candidate before and Obama should not be pressuered by anybody to put Clnton on the ballot. He should be left alone to make his own decisions and choose who he wants. Clintons attitude on last night was a disgrace and she is not a welcomed participate to this party. She lost the bid and that should not automaticly give the VP position. If this is how she behaves when things don't go her way now, how kind of problems will she cause in the white house and who will she offend because she does not get her way. She should also look at the message she has sent to the world, If the rules don't fit your agenda, then just bully your way to the end. She is not the kind of women that want my daughters to emulate.

This just proves Father Pleger is right about her. She thinks she is entitled.

Obama does not need Hillary on the ticket to win the general elections. In my personal research the following will be the results of the general election.
Hillary supporters: 60% will vote for Obama. 25% stays home and 15% will vote Mccain.
Obama supporters: 100% will vote Obama
Independent: 80% votes Obama and 20% McCain.
New Voters: 75% Obama 25% McCain.
Republicans: 80% McCain and 20% Obama.
If one adds up the above figures then you will find that Obama will win the popular votes by a wide margin. Obama will have just enough electrol votes to be the next president.
We need to get ready to accept Obama as our presidet whether we like it not,

Nobama! 18 million Demorcats across this nation said so! Why? Too many unanswered questions. This is not about race or religion, only the weak minded and mean spirited boil it down to that; it is about who is able to make the weighty decisions the next President must face. Global Warming, War, Economic "downturn," Oil, Commodities, Health, Fresh Water, many issues spanning the global community await our next president. Obama simply is not experienced and has not proven his patriotism. The DNC picked the weaker candidate, giving unearned votes to Obama. Who is David and who is Goliath? Nobama!

What Obamabots don't understand is that most Clintonians are not really Democrats. We just like the Clintons. Most of us thought Carter was a terrible president, most of us hate Dashle and Dodd, and Richardson. Harry Reed, yuch. We just like the Clintons.

Clintonians can also see that McCain is an honest man and a hero that deserves to be where he is.

I being a black woman was truly torn between the Clintons and Obama. The campaign was filled with tension, but I just chalked it up as politics. Until last night, I still liked them both and would have been satisified with either one of them being the nominee. Ms. Clinton changed that for me last night with her sppech. She is really starting to come off as a sore loser. I would have been happy had she just acknowledged that Mr. Obama won. This is not about her. It is about the party and the country. Her performance last night has shown us that she would not be a good team player.

I certainly won't sign that petition. I would rather Obama lose than be bullied into accepting her as VP.

I think the VP needs to be in support of the President, I'm afraid Hillary would continue to be in competition for the Presidency. Who wants a VP that's still claiming that she should be the nominee???

Why does she want to be VP all of a sudden? Is this about -HER- or is this about the American people?

This is absurd and downright ludicrous.

Hillary Clinton in no short term professed that she would be waiting for an "Unthinkable" event to propel her as the presidential nominee. I ask you. If this is the type of horrid individual she is. What would stop her from inacting her plans on a stage where as VP, she would automatically be COMPELLED to become president. President Obama would be unwise to chose her as his VP. He would always have to watch his back. Literally. Please practice what you promised. Change. A close of chapters on both clintons and Bush.

Absolutely a bad idea, it would be a nightmare ticket to my way of thinking — this doesn't "turn a page". The Clintons and their supporters should now support the nominee and stop the bullying and positioning if they really care about this country and its future.
ENOUGH Already!!!

I agree with Lanny Davis that his selection of a running mate could make the difference between winning and losing.

If OBAMA picks a LOSER (Iowa was the beginning), a LIAR (Bosnian AIrport), a small-minded (petty gratuitous counterproductive insults in debate at Myrtle Beach) first lady who did not do her homework or required reading before voting to initate the war in Iraq, squandering over 4,085 (and counting) young Americans and a Trillion dollars that should have been directed to medicare, schools, bridges, and job creation (lower taxes in Ireland resulted in a booming economy), and who did not listen to economists re gas tax holiday, THEN OBAMA's judgment would be questioned.

Foreign Relations experience of hillary at the Bosnian Airport doesn't compare with that of Governor (and Clinton's Former Secretary of State) Bill Richardson has the gravitas required. Why would Obama pick a schemer or a liar or a lightweight as Lanny Davis proposes!

Mike

I

Lanny: I read your book on "gotcha" politics and I must admit that you are as sleazy as the individuals you speak of in your book. It was painful seeing you on TV spinning Clinton's lies after reading your book. I thought you had some honor. Apparently I was wrong. You need to take your candidate and go away now. Go away and think about the contradictions in your own life. Perhaps then you can write another book which reflects on the hypocracy of your first one.

Hillary's fantasy about something happening to Barack Obama so she can be President is scary. Also I wonder if she thinks she would be to Obama what Cheney is to Bush.

Is this a joke? The two of them have been sparring for months and now we are supposed to think there is a possibility of the two of them straightening out long enough to run the country? Does Obama really want to have Billary as his running mate? Insane!

Lanny is a manipulator who is dillusional. It is soley up to Obama to make the VP choice and Lanny and Bob Johnson need to go back and bury their heads in the ground and shut up. If Obama wants her than so be it. But if these two idiots think they are influencing Obama they are living in fantasy land.

this doesn't sound like they're offering a choice sounds more like a directive with a hint of blackmail to me than anything else. He needs someone he can trust as v.p. not a puppet that does whatever the polls say is the flavor of the day

UPDATING WORDS!

She abused him, mistreated him, attempted to destroy him, even favored McCain as a better choice than President to be Obama. Now she want to his VP by any mean. BUT wait! How can it be his choice to choose when he's being force to. Why can't she wait 8 years for the number 1 spot. Why won't she quit being a Crybaby

We reject that idea of her as vp. This election is about change from old politics, not about Hillary. Hillary, GET OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. We don't want you. Afterall, Geraldine has been on foxnews regularly, doing nothing but bashing Barak. The worst part of it, is that she goes to Sean Hannity show to do it. UNBELIEVABLE

She have to concede and accept to be the delusional voter to clean the mess she did.

The reality is, Clinton has lost whether she take it or not.
Prove of her not been experience is the she ask to her UNEDUCATED VOTERS to give her comments. WHAT A GREAT LEADER.

If Clintons are the VP their will be three presedent in the white house WHAT A GREAT RECEIPY

consider this comments it is clear

Lanny Davis is just another pathetic Clinton puppet.
These people cannot come to grips with the fact that their "inevitable nominee" and the Clinton machine was out maneuvered by a rookie senator whom she treated like a spec of lint on her pantsuit.

IT'S OVER - SHE LOST - GET OVER IT - GET ON WITH YOUR LIVES!

I will not vote for him if she's on the ticket.
That's not change. That's sending the 'same old people back to Washington and expecting a different resul". If she's his VP he better come up with a new mantra!

You haters give it up. Its people like you thats going to ruin O.B. in Nov.HRC has deserved a spot on the ticket. If it was turned around ,she would pick him.If O.B. knew how his supporters put hate on the Clintons and her supporters through this whole race,he wouldn't be happy. He is for unity ,and all you O.B. supporters just bring hate. We will never have unity ,because you haters have made it impossible to help O.B. We will vote MCCAIN .His supporters dont hate on anyone. They are more muture.O.B.'S young supporters are so immature,they know nothing about our country. There will not be unity.There is to much hate from you .Who ever O.B. picks for his VP. is his own business. If he picks HRC ,its because he knows they would be the best ,and unbeatable. So why dont you haters get a life and learn some respect,because you sure the didn't get taught very good by your parents.

Can't even get on to the site. I guess those 18 MILLION people who people Hillary is a better candidate than Obama are all trying to sign the petition at once.

I don't believe it when they say they are not acting on the behalf of the Clinton campaign.

This was the reason she did not 'concede' - it's as if she is 'holding on' to her voters to use them as a bargaining chip to leverage the VP position.

She will not unite the party unless she is given the VP position. Period.

If Hillary's supporters really want her to have any shot at VP, they need to SHUT UP publicly. go to her privately, tell her to quit the race, and tell her to get out there and start doing that working her heart out thing she promised. she's got to prove that she can pivot and be on the team and unite and bring her supporters, and be convinced of the new politics. Boxing Obama in with demands is NOT the way to promote their "girl". (I can call her that since I'm a girl)

Lanny Davis needs to get a life, maybe find a nice hobby and tone his obsession with Hillary Clinton down a few thousand pegs. With breathtaking egomania that would've been comical had it not been so sad, Hillary and her hardcore supporters made complete fools of themselves last night. Hillary hasn't made any decisions yet? Well the voters have. Bye now. Once again, Hillary put her own selfish ambitions and egomania ahead of the party and the country with her disgraceful speech last night, and is now attempting to strong-arm her way onto the ticket. This is an early test for Obama in my opinion. Putting Hillary on the ticket will not only be a horrible decision that will come back to cripple him, if he folds to this pressure he'll look weak, and that will hurt him come election time. I hope she doesn't get anywhere near the ticket. And Lanny, really, enough already. Time to break down that Clinton shrine in your living room and focus on something a little less pathetic. Have you ever considered collecting stamps?

PETITION NOT TO HAVE HER ON VP.

Where can I find it?
Hillary will tarnish the idea and image of Obama.
Simply does not fit there.

I have no idea why this lady starts to beg after all the nasty campaign..
There are many other good VP candidates that willl help Obama
win swing states.

Can anybody answer ?

Does anyone else wish Lanny Davis would be struck by Lightning or something? This guy is a GONG SHOW.

Lanny, what about a drive of women voters against Clinton's womeniering behavior as reported in the Vanity Fair?

You are a crap and a core screw of Clinton machine. Do you really expect that people will follow you, the defense lawer of Clinton impoeachment, one that spins and stands for Clinton moral cruptions? Youself needs a mental exam. What a disgrace!

CNN moderator, I challenge you to post it!

TAMMY, KCMO HOORAY FOR YOU, I WANT ON THE SAME PETITION TO GET RID OF HER ONCE AND FOR ALL. KEEP ME INFORMED IF SUCH A PETITION IS OUT THERE SOMEPLACE. I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT HER FOR VIP

Well she didnt concede last night so as far as Im concerned she's still running for president! So why would she want the VeeP! What needs to happen right now is this! Hillary needs to be WOMAN ENOUGH to ask Obama for the position instead of letting her cronies do it and if they decide to do it make it look like Obama came begging! DONT FALL FOR IT!!! Hillary lost like everyone else and like everyone else she needs to wait on Obama's decision! Just like we are waiting on her to concede! She gloats about her 18 million votes but if she keeps this up thats ALL SHE WILL HAVE and that is no where near enough to secure a general! If you are more electable..you would have gotten elected! NUFF SAID!

FORGET IT LANNY!! SHE IS PLAIN POISON AND EVIL TO BOOT..
YOU HAVE A LOT OF NERVE ASKING FOLKS TO SIGN A PETITION. IF HILLARY WOULD HAVE HAD THE DECENCY TO CONCEDE LAST NITE AND BOW WITH GRACE AND DECENCY , JUST MAYBE SHE WOULD BE HIS VP.. BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.. SHE HAS TOO MUCH BAGGAGE WITH HER SCUMBAG HUSBAND DRAGGING BEHIND.. GET OVER IT, AND LET US MOVE ON IN SUPPORTING SEN OBAMA IN ANOTHER CHOICE FOR VP OBAMA SUPPORTER IN WISCONSIN

Obama needs the 18 million people who voted for Clinton in order to beat McCain in Nov…end of story! I am sick and tired of Obama supporters who think they can win without us (Hillary supporters) in Nov. I know for fact that many of us including myself will not vote for Obama even if she is # 2 on the ticket. The only possibility of him gaining over some of her loyal supporters, is if he picks her as his running mate. There is no way he can win without her, he even admitted this last night during his speech. Obama stated, that he became a better presidential candidate because of Hillary, we also saw this in every debate, when he was merely repeating everything she said.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS, PLEASE WAKE UP, AND BE REALISTIC…OBAMA NEEDS HILLARY, AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

Hillary (and Bill, by proxy) in the second chair?

Don't do it Barack. You're going to have your hands full with what's coming at you from the front, much less having to constantly watch your back. Hil has an agenda, and I don't think it necessarily coincides with yours.

Obama/Clinton in '08? Makes McCain/? look more palatable.

Some people just don't get the hint, she lost, and has no reason to expect the VP be offered to her. I want to sign the petition to not have her as the VP on Obama's ticket

Hillary is "old" politics and Barack is "new" politics. There is a generation gap there. If he picks Hillary it goes against his campaign of change in Washington. It will be the same old politics which I (and many others) don't want. I voted Republican for 50 years, and for the first time voted this year for a Democrat, Obama. Hillary as VP will send me back to the Republicans.
Give her Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare as a consolation prize.

WOMAN SHOULD BE TIRED OF PLAYING SECOND FIDDLE TO MEN.
HILLARY SHOULD REFUSE, IF OFFERED. I AM A STAUNCH HILLARY SUPPORTER AND WOULD RATHER SEE HER LAUNCH AND INDEPENDENT PARTY CAMPAIGN (SHE WOULD KNOCK BOTH THE MEN OUT OF THEIR SOCKS - A LA JOE LIEBERMAN) OR …. JOIN THE MC CAINE TICKET AS HIS V.P.
I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED BY PARTY AFFILIATION FROM DEMOCRAT TO INDEPENDENT (DONE YESTERDAY). WE WOMAN ARE FED UP WITH THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Petition all you want. This decision is up to Obama himself. You really want Clintion on a ticket after the way she behaved in her speech last night? May want to consider someone for the ticket that has at least one foot planted securely in reality. She can't even give him credit for what he's accomplished, nor will she concede. How can anyone justify that as being there to support the party and do what ever it takes? Now she wants to be Obama's VP this is the most irresponsible suggestion yet.

Obama/08

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. The Clintons bring more CONS than PROS. The Clintons will fuel attacks left and right from the GOP and even the liberal media. They have tons of baggage. While Hillary's message may be good, her and Bill's past and current controversies are not worth it. She can hold a high position in the next administration, just not the VP!!

Hillary for VP doesn't make sense.

Hillary for a brand new cabinet position in charge of new Federal initiatives makes a lot of sense. The current cabinet postitions are designed to run the government, you're going to need an additional one to fundementally change it.

Republicans are already airing clips of her as attack adds on Obama. How is she going to debate his qualifications? She'd have to flip flop on the core position of a VP nominee - that the Presidential nominee is the right person for the job. If she campaigned that she was better, you could make that issue go away, but she campaigned that he was incapable - that doesn't go away.

Finally, if Hillary is as good as everyone thinks, you need her actually focused on issues and not cutting ribbons and traveling to shake the hands of foreign leaders that aren't even relevent to our policies.

Tammy - KCMO June 4th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Where do we go to sign the petition to NOT have her as VP on Obama's ticket?

He has more to lose (votes) than gain by having her as VP!

——-
Go to http://www.petition.com and start one.

Offering Hillary the VP would be a bad descion on his part. A VP needs to reinforce the ideals of the president and be ready to step in IF needed. Hillary disagrees on several points with Obama on key issues, which she would likely not support. Futhermore, she is too strong of a personality to play second seat to anyone. She wouldn't sit still as first lady, think of how much she would try to get into as VP(for people who don't really realize there are very few services that the VP is actually supposed to oversee). This is not to mention that you would be bringing Slick Willy back to DC with all of his behaviour.

If Obama wants to win in November he might do well to have her on the ticket! It's for sure that its going to take more than pretty, "pie in the sky speeches" to get it done. Don't forget that half of the Democratic voters wanted "her" to be the president. This party has a long way to go to heal itself and he needs her worse than she needs him right now. It's a long time until November and lots of things change. Obama still has Rev. "Wrong" hung around his neck and a ton of women that would like to see her in the white house despite the press and the DNC that robbed Hillary to pay Obama. That's not the Democratic Party I want to belong too or will I support! It only demished Obama in my eyes. He's far too inexperienced and way to liberal for this yellow dog.

hillary is the only one that can unite the democrat party and guarantee obama to be the next president.

obama is too inexperienced, and his "change" means nothing to many voters.

She abused him, mistreated him, attempted to destroy him, Favored McCain before President to be Obama. Now she was to his VP by any mean. BUT wait! How can it be his choice to choose when he's being force to. Why can she wait 8 years for the number 1 spot. Why won't she quit being a Crybaby

Here's a quick test to see if she would be a good VP.

Will she acknowledge that she has lost the nomination.
Will she understand that he is nominee and that it is his agenda that needs to pushed
Will she and Bill not try to create there own little governement.

If she can't do these things then she can't be VP. It can't be a co-presidency.

Not Going To Happen!

Does the country owed Clinton a favour? Or does Clinton owed the country a favor? Do us a favor CNN stop forcing Barack Obama, not because he is black. He can make up his own mind.

First show some respect by congratulating him for being the nominee, and the first AA to ever be elected the candidate for a major party and what a historic achievement that is for the party and the country, then announce the end of your candidacy and vow your undying support for Sen. Obama for the presidency…….then maybe we may add your name to the long list!!

Obama '08

She have to concede and accept to be the delusional voter to clean the mess she did.

The reality is, Clinton has lost whether she take it or not.
Prove of her not been experience is the she ask to her UNEDUCATED VOTERS to give her comments. WHAT A GREAT LEADER.

If Clintons are the VP their will be three presedent in the white house WHAT A GREAT RECEIPY

What kind of blackmail is this? Choose Hillary, or else!! American Terrorism at it's best. Senator Obama won the nomination and has the right to choose any running mate he wants. Why would he choose someone who is so obviously NOT a team player?

I agree with you Tammy. Is anyone organizing such a petition? I think that Hillary as the VP would be disaster for Obama!

I as an american citizen and supporter of Senator Obama am totally against him picking Hillary Clinton as his Vice President. Here arrogance of entitlement is absurb and ridicullous. Be strong and take your chances on someone else. It's about principle now.

I agree, where's the petition to tell her to "shut up, sit down". Go away Hillary, you and your loudmouth husband. Just Leave, and do not come back, you and your red neck white trash supporters from West Virginia and Kentucky. I am a white woman and have no use for your lies, cheating husband, manipulative math and self-absorbed, narcissistic view of yourself. Nor do those qualities belong in the white house. We had enough of that when your husband was there.

Yah so that you can make more money though the lobbistys????? No way man! Obama is for change and your Hillary is no change. She is a liar. I think that obama must offer her the defense secretary as she is great at dodging bullets (experienced from Bosnia)

look lanny Dont do it. I know you love hillary. But to many Hillary supporters litteraly would never vote for obama. And it could end up hurting hillary in the long run

I would think that her supporters would be insulted. Basically, she is saying that SHE controls their minds and their votes. Women and Blacks worked too hard to get the vote; why would she think that she could now hold it hostage as if it belonged to her?

Last I remembered, it is the nominee who chooses a running mate.
If he does choose her, let's hope the other side doesn't play back the tapes of Hillary stating that only she and McCain were qualified for the presidency. Why is this process becoming dependent on Hillary's supporters? Just what is it that Hillary thinks she is owed here. Everything is calculated. She couldn't even properly congratulate this man last night. Hillary's supporters want the respect that they deserve, well then start showing it to the winner. He has earned this
fair and square.

Hmm…with Hillary as VP, I wonder who Obama will choose to be his food taster.

I hope he picks her as his VP. Obama/Clinton is unbeatable.

This is going beyond ridiculous, imho. Mr. Obama just won the Democratic nomination and I believe he has every right to choose who will be his VP. I lalso believe these people has forgotten that it is Mr. Obama's campaign and nomination (no matter how close the primary results were). Anybody who he sees fit to be a running-mate should be grateful and flattered by such consideration and not the other way around. People who are putting pressure on Mr. Obama to take Mrs. Clinton as a vp is like a lobbyist who manipulates your decisions because they donated alot of cash on your campaign. I don't think it is fair and even ethical to put him in such position. This is such a control issue (and I know a lot of people suffers from this.)

P.S. Btw, if Mrs. Clinton and her supporters are so open and adamant for her to be the vp, I think the gesture was ever so-lacking of interest on Mrs. Clinton's speech last night. If she wants to be the vp, she missed the chance to prove it when she didn't even reach out and congratulate Mr. Obama for his nomination(proclaiming her support would have been the best action). A very effective VP for Obama should be someone who is willing to work with him, disagree with him at times but acknowledge that at the end of the day, Mr. Obama is the "boss". A VP shouldn't be the one demanding and dictating what he should do to earn her/his approval to be a running mate. I also believe it is not so hard to ask Mr. Obama as he is very much open in reaching an agreement. And let's just face it, if Mr. Obama becomes the president, he will be running the country not the Clintons. Mr. Obama shouldn't be another surrogate or puppet for the Clintons bid to the white house.

ABSOLUTELY NO!

I hope that Obama ignores this type of background clutter (blackmail). It is unbecoming of Hillary/surrogates to make this effort. It is counterproductive and demeaning. Yes, I believe that Obama's first leadership act will be to "manage" the Hillary drama. She has run an amazing campaign; but she has not won. To attempt to wrestle the VP spot for her is so "yesterday. " Get with the program. Obama style leadership is the future - God willing that the USA should be so ready and lucky to achieve his Presidency. People - he actually will require a VP who is a counterpart to his philosophies - not counter productive.

LS - St. Louis

For the best of America. please,no HRCon the ticket. Why Her????????
She thinks she is the best but she is dreaming, she is only for herself.
Do not try to take us hostage. Say what you can do for the Country, not for yourself.

Hillary Clinton and her reps need to accept the facts and respect that Obama is the nominee. Would she be pressured to give him the VP spot if the outcome of the primaries had been different. I don't think so. Hillary Clinton has come across as a bully, not a team player, and selfish. She ran for President and lost– That is the simple fact. Again, the 'I am entitled' attitude from the Clintons is showing. If I was an adviser to Obama I would not advise him to put her on the ticket. Quite frankly I feel that she would try to undermine him and always have the hope of an 'unfortunate demise' so that she could then be President. I just don't trust her to know her place as VP and I think she proved her position last night by not addressing him as being the Democratic nominee for President. All the talk about people not trusting Obama because they don't know him and who he really is. Maybe those same questions should be addressed to the Clintons. The american people already know that they are not trustworthy –it is a fact that is already written in history. But, what I saw throughout the primary campaign from Hillary and Bill is not the kind of leader I would want as an american citizen. Hillary, take your ball and go home–the primary is over–you did not win.

please tell this puppy : the nominee decides on the running mate,

remind him that Barack won the nomination….

no more jokes, please !!

When Obama was ahead these clowns also offered him the VP spot while claiming he was not ready for the job…is this the case of implies racial superiorority !!!

Hillary Is Trying To Blackmail Her Way Onto The Ticket By Not Conceding The Race! This Woman Has No Shame!

How can Hillary be considered for VP when she won't even concede that Barrack is the presumptive Democratic nominee. I hope her extortion fails.

I think it would be the wisest move to choose Mrs Clinton as VP. Of course, I know there are a lot of "haters" that would be upset from this happening, but after all they have to do the best for their party. Joining the ticket Mrs Clinton and hers supporters would have guarantees that their voice and their battles would be supported, if Mr Obama will become the new US President. I don't think that, with Mr McCain on presidency, their voice would be very heared….Only guys who hate one of them and don't think about the consequences of other 4 Republican years (and these guys don't REALLY care about America), can switch from Mrs Clinton to Mr McCain, expecially if she join forces with Mr Obama…

No. Please, No. She is the antithesis of his visions for the future and change. Give her a good cabinet job, leave her in the senate, appoint her to the supreme court — anything, but NOT VP!

Sorry, Barrack Obama don't need your army nor Bill clinton.

guess it's going to come down to how many Obama supporters would defect to McCain if Hillary is on the ticket VS. Clinton supporters who would defect to McCain if Hillary is not on the ticket (myself being included in the latter group). Things are looking better for John McCain everyday.

I am getting sick of this snoopy eye person already. Why is being put on on CNN shows all the time?

Larry, open your friggin eyes, WE DO NOT WANT CLINTON AS VP!

It's hard to imagine Obama selecting Hillary as VP when she won't even acknowledge that he's won the Democratic nomination yet. Even this morning, she's still out on the campaign trail talking about why she thinks she'd be the best choice for President.

Is she trying to say that if he doesn't select her as VP, she'll do whatever she can to subvert his general election campaign?

And I also imagine that given Lanny Davis' unreasonably negative attacks on Obama throughout the nomination process, he's not someone that the Obama camp would be too likely to take advice from.

NO to Hillary Clinton as VP. It is Obama's decision not Clinton's surrogates.

I am sooooo dissapointed in the obama supporters. They are a bitter group in our society. I dont see Hilarys supporters jumping along their train. They are mean spiritied, and feel he can do no wrong. I feel he is just another cut throat politian whos true colors will come out soon. Hilary just needs to chill. This nomination will come to her when buyers remorse sets in.

I love Obama's message, Hillary on the ticket will make me stay home and worse case vote for McCain. Extremely inedpendant and dislike Bill too much.

My my my where does it ends. This is not helping the democratic party. I am truely afraid that should Hilary be given the vp spot and the democrats should win the general election, there will always be that shadow of a doubt in everyones mind as to who really won the election. Under different circumstances i would have love to see her as the vp, but now i just feel like they are still campaigning. Making a choice such as choosing someone to be the vp should be based on integrity, humbleness, thoughtfulness amongst a few other ethical reasons, in my mind Hilary does not currently display any of the above but rather, selfishness and ego. She just needs to accept it is over, she lost and maybe if she is humble enough to let barack have his moment and shine, he might consider her. Did you hear that Lenny…

Now that the last dog died, they are trying to give it CPR. For the love of god, please go away. The idea that we will be stronger in Nov by driving this wedge deeper into our party in the hopes that Obama may feel he has no other choice to stem the damage being caused by idiots like you who can't take a loss as a loss, is revolting. Ew, I just puked in my mouth. Keep it up, and you will see how much hatred Hillary can truly muster from average folk.

Oh please….Why in the world we would want Hillary as VP when she
still has NOT given a succession speech to Obama. That was about the rudest thing she could have done.

Hillary should not be a part of this CHANGE that Obama has been
fighting for.

Lanny "snake" Davis

I agree with Tammy, where do we go to sign the petition to NOT have her as VP on Obama's ticket.

F Lanny Davis

When this all began, I thought how wonderful it would be to have these two on one ticket and maybe tie the White House up for the next 16 years. But, considering how her campaign has tried to pull him down to lift her up, how is it that her supporters feel that this is a good idea now? If someone can give me a good explanation on that, I may be willing to change my mind.

This is not the way to do this. As the democratic nominee and winner of the democratic primary Obama has the right to chose what's best for the party his chances to win.

It seems to me the Clinton has been brokering for power to gain influence make deals favorable to her, whether or not they are in the best interest of the party. She used every tactic available to garner support and in the process has divided the party. Her approach seems coercive. She's holding her support ransom for a position she wants.

The reality is she lost. She's in subordinate position A position where she needs to be humble. When you lose you're not in a position to make demands and that's what she's doing. What's she's saying is I have 18 million plus voters and if you don't do as I say or give me what I want I will take my votes and prevent you from winning. That says I don't really care about the things I say I care about. She intentionally divided and entrenched each side for this end. The more negative she went the more she turned her supporters against Obama- they have unwittingly supported a person who doesn't have the best interest of the party in mind. This was a calculated move on her campaign's behalf. It's about the Clintons not anyone else. Winning is the most important thing, not issues, not principles not the party.

I do not understand the logic of Clinton supporters. They want change but they wandt Clinton as VP. What change would there be, she has been bought and paid for by lobbyists over and over again. How would Obama get across his message. WE THE PEOPLE MUST DECIDE DO WE WANT OLD CORPORATE BOUGHT GOVERNMENT THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR THE LAST 35 YEARS OR DO WE WANT A GOVERNMENT THAT REPRESENTS US THE PEOPLE.
NO TO HILLARY

is Lanny only getting airtime due to entertainment value? ummm Lanny it's done take your pill and relax it ain't going to happen

There is something hidden in these VP business with Hillary people. She does not recognized that she did not win and now they are pushing for VP. Who coordiates what???
do they think Hillary is the only candidate viable for VP. What about other educated and experienced policial figures??? Amusing.
The Obama camp must be extremely careful, here.

DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS CLINTON SUPPORTERS!

HE IS A SEXIST LIAR WHO STOLE THE ELECTION FROM CLINTO BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. HE BULLIED HER AND BULLIED THE SUPERDELAGATES. WE ALL KNOW WHO REALLY WON THIS ELECTION AND ITS NOT BARAK HOUSEIN OBAMA!

WOMEN HAVE TAKEN ENOUGH ABUSE!

WRITE IN HILLARY IN NOVEMBER!!!

TOP TEN REASONS why SHE should NOT be a VP:

10: She will destroy Obama's credibility so she can be president
9: She will destroy Obama's presidency so she can be president
8: She will destroy Obama's policies so she can be president
7: She will destroy Obama's goals so she can be president
6: She will destroy Obama's support base so she can be president
5: She will destroy Obama's honesty so she can be president
4: She will destroy Obama by having him impeached so she can be president
3: She will destroy Obama by coming up with made up stories so she can be president
2: She will destroy Obama by runing his term so she can be president
and the number ONE reason why SHE should not be the VP:
1: McCain will win if she is the VP

We voted for change and that does not include Hillary , She has created this divisive camp and now wants to extort her way in. This is not Iraq where shiites and sunnies have their camps. Away with the Clinton democrats who are Republicans masquerading. You can replace that 18 million with others. We are a country with more than 300 million people. Others will step up on that plate. This is a ploy to make Obama lose an election. Don't forget she was his opponent. You expect this leopard to drop its spot!!
