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!

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?

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.

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!!

Hillary Clinton has proven she is not a team player. She has yet to concede. Where is her integrity? I want more from someone a heart beat away for the presidency. She makes me sad as a woman. Men have always said, "woman don't know how to be team players". Well Hillary continues to prove their point. Stop enough already!

No Tammy-KCMO. You have to look at the issue from two sides 1. A lot of Obama supporters, such as you, will not accept that Hillary is on the VP spot. 2: However from the practical and tactical point of view there is no other way of surely winning in fall. Nonetheless, I understand you, but the final goal is to important to follow your own pride.

It won't work!! Clinton and Obama supporters are too divided and it will take a third party to bring them together. Clinton is too divisive and polarizing. Obama is for real change and that means someone other than Clinton.

Who do you think you are to ask anything? You are the definition of a racist in denial. Any minority who gets ahead of you-makes you mad. Take your vote and your anger and leave the party please.

people are more sympathetic with the loser and forgot why she lost. she lost because she had a over 40% negative rating right before she started and steady went down from there. this was even before her husband's freefall from grace. some astute observers predicted before, you can't win with such a negative rating. this prediction turned to be true, despite of everything her clones set up in her favor including the packed primaries, voters have spoken. many of obama's supporters may very well be those who wanted to deny her. would they vote for her now because she is the vp candidate? not by a long shot. would her and her husband's presence and past divert attention from true important issues for both the party and the country? of course. she could admit defeat and then can't make her mind if she wants the vp and holds the nomination process in hostage, sounds disillusional, indicisive and selfish. ever wondering why she had such a negative rating?

The voters should get the last say- and with their votes we clearly want Clinton.

No Clinton…No Obama

Since Hillary does not respect rules and regulations with a propensity to make her own rules, how practically can Obama who respects rules and regulations make Hillary his VP? Can gunpowder and fire coexist without explosion? The request does not make sense!

Hillary cannot be a Judge also for Judges respect, laws, rules and regulations. Indeed, she cannot fit any appointment till she learns to respect the rules and regulations.

Okay Lanny: Stop talking for Hillary. She's an adult and she can speak for herself. It's this behavior that help mess up her campiagn. If Hillary can stop and look at the fun we can have at debating against McCain and supporting Obama she just may be the VP. But first things first. Talking it over and working it out in a quick and mature way. I just hope to don't stay upset too long. She may miss a wonderful opportunity to be a VP and do something awesome. Oh yeah, and practice being honest and trust worthy is definitely a big qualification for VP.

I even find the name of the petition's website offensive.

Davis, a male, is clearly trying to continue fanning the embers of hardcore feminists and the victimization movement by calling the website "womenforfairpolitics."

There are a myriad of reasons not to choose Hillary as VP. Women are certainly just as capable of recognizing that fact as men. Furthermore, unlike the name of the petition suggests, choosing an alternative to Hillary does not mean "unfair politics" are going on.

Lanny should stop trying to suggest that the only road to unity is with Hillary on the ticket. Such is only the case if individuals such as he refuse to allow there to be unity in the absence of Hillary — a truly tragic and selfish choice.

I find it hard to understand how Obama can have a Clinton on the ticket. He has been preaching change, getting away from business as usual, changing the politics of Washington, blah blah blah…
After all this, how is putting Clinton on the ticket, or adding a Clinton to a cabinet, going to change anything?

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

I concur – where can we sign the pettition that say.. No to Hillary and her cronies. enough Hillary, you lost – take your bat and ball and now go home!

FYI. I intend to vote (and help with his campaign as best I can) for Senator Obama.

EXCEPT!!! If Hillary Clinton is on his ticket.

THEN!!! I will have no choice to vote for McCain, actually not for him, but against her.

IF!!! she won fair and square (new concept to her, I know) then I will be a good American and live with it, just like I did with "W".

BUT!!! That doesn't mean I cannot campaign hard to see that we are not subjected to her lies, corruption and deceit.

I plead, beg, pray that Senator Obama doesn't select her, as VP or for his cabinet. I think he will loose if he does, but has a strong chance of winning if he picks a moderate democrat as his VP. Sure thing!!!

What happens if Obama offers her the V.P. position and she refuses because she still thinks she can win the nomination? I think she is in denial.

my answer to senator Hillary Clinton as vice president is no..

I have doubts that they work well together on the issues that important to this country and abroad, and even if they do she will likley try to claim most of credit for herself, she seems to me that after all these years and the fact she didn't congratulate or concede to Barack Obama and the will of voters…

Is it possible if they are president and the vice president for the next 4 years , and do great things , this will make her run against him for presidency again…

Is it possible that she can run this fall as an independent demcroate candidate for the presidency …

Yup,
Let the petion start in Florida and Michigan.
Let's count all petitions then…
Please stop begging to get picked on VP seat.

I don't see how Hilary will be helping Obama.
OBAMA is all about the new messages.
Hilary represents old politics and distorted campaign.
It will actually hurt Obama with hilary on the ticket.

Hilary can wait 8 years then she can run same old campaign.

Hillary is not a VP person for Obama. She is crazy and need help.

Why are they threatening Barack, are they gods?

She is the best- not second best- but it is a tiny step to try to unify this hopelessly divided and sure to lose party.

After all the dirt Hillary did to him during the primary, threw the whole kitchen sink strategy at him, calling him unelectable, this man has the nerve to have a petition forcing her on the VP spot!!! NO way. Hillary, your time has come and gone. Lets make way for new blood and Obama lead us in the right direction!!!

LORD ALL THAT SPECIAL INTEREST MONEY SLIPPING AWAY.

COMMON FOLKS EVERYBODY JUMP OBAMA AT ONCE & MAY

BE WE CAN GET IN. THAT CRAP IS SO OBVIOUS A MORON

CAN FIGURE IT OUT.

To Clinton Supporters:

Stop trying to force your way into the VP spot. HRC is not entitled to anything. The more and more her supporters start threatening Obama to make her VP the more and more he wont.

This guy has the balls to question barrack's personal relationship with his old pastor, then demands him to choose Hiliary as his VP. Obama should tell these people that they have no say in his decision.

There they go again ! Hillary Clinton's speech on Tuesday night was disgraceful to Obama, the Democratic Party, the people who supported her ! She is a sore loser and unworthy of the VP slot. Once again she and her staff change the rules, she gave a still let's fight speech or from the South side of Chicago, I am going to gangster the VP slot. Someone should tell her supporters to the victor belongs the spoils, and not allow her to hold a gun to Obama's head ! In every step of the election process she and Bill have continued to show un-presidential behavior ! Hillary as VP, give me a break !!!

We understand that the Clintons are desperate in seeking to safe their face in the midst of Hillary's disappointing presidential campaign. They wouldn't dare admit to their defeat, though. Nor would they want to admit to the fact that Hillary Clinton HERSELF want the vice presidential spot, now that it is clear that Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee. The Clinton supporters – especially politicians – also want to make sure they are not totally on the losing side of the game. So, what do they do? They are now trying to lobby hard to drum up a public support for what they get the media to call "the dream ticket" so that Hillary will come out looking like she did not ask for it but merely answered the noble call to save the now divided Democratic Party. But we must really think: can Obama/Clinton (ie. Bill & Hillary) ticket really work in harmony?

And so the divisiveness in the Democratic Party continues. More of this type of pressure will do nothing to restore unity. I say, back off and let Barack make his own choice!

This guy is crazy if he feels Obama can be bullied into letting Clinton on hte ticket…this is a horrible strategy to get her on the ticket. If Obama gives into this it will just make him look weak. Lanny needs to get a grip and use diplomacy and stop threatening Obama.

Great point Seth!

I don't think Barack should be pressured into picking Hillary….She will definitely be in his short list but he should pick the strongest VP candidate and not give in to choosing her just because people are saying so…that does not work in the long run….

Well… 51% of the Democratic population trumps 12% any time.

Watch for it in NOV- unless HRC gets some overdue respect from the party.

How can I miss her if she won't leave

Please allow Barack the chance to pick a canidate to test the waters, befor he is locked in, there are plenty of good to great possiblities. He has shown to us that he can beat the lioness at her own game and should be given his opportunity. I personally think it to be weak on his part if he picks her with out an unbelieveable reason to do so given all of the pushing on every ones part

Since when has the job of Vice President been a prize to be given to the loser. Hillary's supporter's cannot usurp Senator Obama's right to choose his running mate. I am shocked at this suggestion, there is no end to how far Hillary and her supporter's will go to put the her in the White House.

I respect the Clintons for what they have accomplished. Im fair, however I do not think that she will be a good VP for the party at this time.

Mirror mirror on the wall….

I am with you Tammy,

Let's sign a petition NOT TO HAVE her as a VP on Obama's ticket.

Go home Mrs. Clinton you were not entiteled to the presidency and you are not entitled to the vice presidency. No one owes her anything, if she couldn't take the heat she should not have been in the kitchen.

barry, better watch his butt. the clintons are on the move. bill will be 2nd vp and chelsea will be 3rd vp. obama will be lucky decide what he wants for lunch

For 18 million people who backed up Hillary, she is still our leader. Yes. Obama has won but if you think you can side -line Hillary and her 18 million supporters, you are in for a big surprise in November. Obama has our respects and he may have earned the right to choose the VP but the only way he can heal and get the party together is by being gracious and put her on the ticket. And by the way being a VP is neither the second best or the consolation price but the only way to have her supporters back up the ticket. ….proud supporter of Hillary…

Actually, there are several places where you can sign a petition to get Obama NOT to choose Hillary. Just google "Petition to not have Hillary on the ticket," and at least two will come up. One is available through the Daily Kos. Please sign them–don't let her hijack him into a miserable co-presidency that will kill everything he's trying to do!

I will NOW not vote for Obama for president… but will reconsider that position if Hill is on the ticket.

Otherwise, I will protest this unfair primary, by voting AGAINST Obama, and writing in HRC

Sign me up! No way I'm voting for Nobama without Hillary on the ticket. Of course if Obama doesn't care about the 18 million who voted for Hillary or thinks they will all vote for him because now they'll drink the Koolaid when they didn't before… Don't put her on the ticket.. Lose in November. That would be sweeter than any Koolaid Nobama has poured during the primaries because you then all the Obama supporters will finally see what Hillary supporters have said all along. SHE IS THE STRONGER candidate.

and you know what i've started a petion of my own it's called THE SEND OFF as in sign comment if you think he should be sent to a mental institution like his candidate? i think this would get more sigs than his.

… He highly likely will lose if Hillary is his running mate!! We all know how her unfavourable rating is going up! .. we all see her thrist for power yesterday for not makeing "decision" … this woman is "power monger" !! …

Can she do ANYTHING without force? Take take take, me me me, give give give. I want I want I want. If the meek inherit the earth……she isnt going to have to worry about any inheritance tax.

Who else is stonger where Obama is weakest???? I am a HARDCORE Clinton supporter that will have no trouble crossing party lines in November if Obama (and his people) do not do the righ thing and heal the party… The only way to do this is for both of them to be on the ticket… WE ALL WIN THAT WAY!!!!!! Just think…. The race is SO close and Obama ended up shy of the delegates… would you not like to see him on the ticket???? Come on Obama people…. Lets put our differences aside and all WIN! How bad will it be if you wake up on the day after the electioin and lost… and it was all because of a resentment against the Clintons??? They will win if they are on the same ticket and make history together!!!!!!!!

I will never vote for anyone with her as a running mate.

their authority is sure to be usurped. I don't want her health care policies shoved down my throat either.

When the government says MANDATORY, the people must remove that Government. That's what our constitution was written for. that's why we broke from Great Britain.

I don't want to be one of Hillary's SUBJECTS!

These people will find there way into power any way they can.Those are the type that once given power proceed to try to take more and more.Totally self serving.Hillary Clinton no more deserves to be VP than I do, actually maybe less.

Is there no end to the Clinton machinations? No end to Hillary/Billary and Bubba's drive for reinstatement of power at all costs? And Bill/Bubba is still looking to womanize. GO HOME CLINTONS!! You're done!

Let's keep our britches hitched!!

Hillary can demonstrate by her actions over the weeks leading up to the Convention that she is putting the Democrating Party and America first by actively and positively campaigning for Obama WITHOUT preconditions, deals, qualifications, "yeh, buts…"

Furthermore, the choice of a running mate is an important one, requiring that Obama VERY CAREFULLY vet those on his list to minimize the risk that a negative may pop up in the middle of the general election campaign. It is particularly important for the process to insist on full disclosure of the Clinton's activities over the period since Bill left office, given the certainty that the Republican attack machine will pounce on any dealings with sheiks, oil barons and other lobbyists, etc.

First things first. Hillary can prove her sincerity putting her heart into the campaign while Obama goes through the process.

Get off the man's back, he won the nod less than 24 hours ago. Give him 5 minutes to savor the flavor..he just beat a Clinton! ~ Look everyone need to stop pressing him. He's the nominee; he's the party head and he and he alone will make the choice as to who he wants as a running mate, not all these blowhards who will try to campaign to get Hillary on. Shut it up and let things run there course!

OBAMA '08 +'12

Amen! Where is that petition, I want to sign it.

I think these Clinton campaign folks are now just trying to justify their existence.

Obama knows what's good for the country!! He's ther to serve pple!! he's a guy who judge it right!!!
I am Sure its on his top of the list
Good hillary's now coming to see it OVER, its NO-LONGER ME!! ME!! ME!! ME!!…….
Mr.President think about it– ONLY when will keep a distance!!!!!!

SHE CAN HAVE IT IF SHE JUST ASKS FOR IT….

HOWEVER SHE'S TOO PROUD AND SHE THINKS IT'S HER TROPHY ALREADY. SHE LET BILL ASK FOR IT INSTEAD. DUMB!

Sorry, but how/why is Hillary suggesting she be Obama's VP when she hasn't acknowledged that he is the Nominee?

You know, everyone was complaining when people were pushing Hillary to give up her campaign.

Stop pressing Obama to pick her as his VP, he'll make that decision on his own.

Lanny Davis and Hillary are "2 in a pod" they act just alike,
Both sore loosers
Neither Hillary or Lanny Davis can admit they have lost,.
Lanny Davis has been spinning the same " untrue line" about Obama on every TV spot he was on and he won't stop talking.
He is hatefull,

We DO NOT WANT MC CLINTON"SS AS A VP
GET IT LANNY?

Why would Obama choose someone to be his VP who disrespected him on a night in history. He wo the nomination and all she thought about was being in defiance of him. She didn't have to concede, as we know the Clintons have this sense of entitlement to whatever office they seek but she could have put a much better spend on her speech than she did last night. As a Obama supporter, until last night, I wanted him to put her on the ticket but now, I'm not so sure.

Really… there IS no BETTER choice.

And no other option if the DEMS still hope to win in Nov.

LETS PLEASE KEEP THE STRONG ARMING AND DIVISON IN PLACE LANNY! YOUR CANDIDATE LOST AND HILLARY DOES NOT EVEN SHOW A SPECK OF RESPECT FOR OBAMA AND HIS SUPPORTERS.RESPECT HAS TO BE EARNED.HILLARY AND HER TALKING HEADS HAVE NOT EARNED THAT HONOR!

Lanny, what you state is somewhat very true, but there is the matter of the President trusting the Vice-President. Hillary has proven without a doubt that she cannot be trusted. Obama has gained the required number of delegates (and more) for the Democratic Presidential Candidate nomination and Hillary is still campaigning; totally disregarding that very important fact. Many bloggers have stated that Hillary is bipolar. I'm beginning to believe the bloggers are stating the truth. How can Hillary be that disrespectfully toward Barrach, who has won the nomination, but she and her supporters feel she should be his VP. Hillary has been very disrespectful and evil throughout this entire campaign. I am very, very glad it is over. Her mind may not signify to her that it is over, but the entire world knows it is over. Has anyone considered arranging for Hillary and Bill to receive mental health treatments?

What part of "no, get lost already" don't you understand Mr. Davis?

Such a petition would require very careful consideration, as Iam sure he will, by the presumptive nominee. The usual course of action as a hard fought campaign, and so many closely fought contest, would be for the defeated contestant to concede victory to the winner.

Mrs. Clinton was rather defiant in her speach on Tuesday after the last two contests in which both herself and Mr. Obama were winners! That was, indeed, a sweet end to a rather bitter campaign season. The least that she could have done is graciously concede victory to her oponent. Like Mrs. Clinton, the presumptive nominee should be "left alone" to carefully and thoughtfully comtamplate his "next move" before being petitioned to consider a defiant former contestant for the role of Vice President.

First you would think Hillary needs to concede… hmmm

After everything she said about him and especially after everything Bill Clinton has said and tried to do by trying to portray Obama as a Feary tail and an incompetent person to be President, the Clinton loyalists have no shame to try to put HRC in the VP slot.

OBAMA FIRST AFRICAN PRESIDENT, SEBELIUS FIRST FEMALE VICE PRESIDENT.

OBAMA/SEBELIUS '08

Thanks Lanny Davis.

Its not about Obama and Hillary. Now we have to think about American people. If Hillary is not on the ticket we will loose the White house. We do not want another 4 years of Republican Administration. We want a democrat in white house period. The one and only way it can happen is both of them being on the ticket. If there is a third person on ticket its 100% we will loose the white house for Republicans.

We American people want democrats to take the white house. We need this badly. I wish, hope and pary this dream ticket will happen. This is the only ticket by which saves the American people and ensure the white house.
Thanks a Bunch Lanny Davis!! We are counting on you!!!

I guess they realize there will be no unity any other way.

this is stupid except defeat and move on. that's all i need say and yet it speaks volumes to those who aren't still in delusional La La land where everything is shaded and the wool is still closed around your mind. get over yourself and MOVE ON!!! MOST OF AMERICA HAS WE ARE NOW HEADING TOWARDS THE GENERAL. LET IT GO THE TRAIN HAS OFFICIALLY LEFT THE STATION.

How can you say she will not help the ticket?. It's amazing everyone suggested the superdelegates vote how their states did and if this was the case Clinton would be the nominee because the states she has won have more superdelegates due to the way our electoral system works. People need to learn this country is not a democracy it's a republic. It's all about the electoral college map. Remember 2000 when Gore had 500,000 more votes then Bush but lost Florida by 500 votes. Obama/Clinton will bring victory in November, isn't that what we want?

I am officialy disgusted with Hillary. I was ardent supporter of hers until last night's fiasco. Somethings are more important than her and she should be putting the country above herself right now. If Obama looses, we'll know it's due to the deep divisions she is continuing to worsen.

Did he foeget to ask OBAMA ,why he did not reject Rev Wright years ago,now his candidate is melting away he now realized that two of them can be good.

One addage say's "when you are going up,be good to the people you meet on your way who are going down because you dont know whom you will meet when you are going down.

If Clinton and her appostles care about AMERICA and the PARTY they will unite the party without her(CLINTON.H.)being on the TICKET period.

America is about 200.000.000 million people,therefore there must be at least 500.000 people who are more perfect for the post and can unite the party too and also be AGENT OF CHANGE and washinton outsider like MR PRESIDENT OBAMA.

USE YOUR TONG TO COUNT YOUR TEETH. BYE

PETER
TORONTO,CANADA.

He needs to crawl back under the rock in which he has come from.
He makes me sick

Mr. Obama has the right to decide for himself who he wants to be his running mate. Hillary tried in vain to do more harm to Mr. Obama than the Republicans ever could. He remained honorable in this race; when he could have brought out Hillary and Bill's SKELETONS………but he didn't. Not to mention, that on his Historic night she barely even acknowledged him. She had the "Audacity" to throw up the fact that she had 18 million voters as some sort of leverage she would hold over his head for what she wants. Ever heard the phrase "To the Victor goes the spoils"? He will not be bullied by Hillary and her 18 million; there is more at stake than Clinton Happiness. We will not kiss up to you; you have been just as vile and vicious as you accuse us of being….even going so far as to jump on any occasion to Bash Mr. Obama. Well, try as you may; he is the Victor……It is his decision. Threats are not taken likely!!!!

She is not fit to be VP. She is the one who divided the electorate by poisoning the minds of her followers. To this point she has not conceded defeat trying hard to play and win with a losing hand. If she really cared about the party she would begin convincing her die hard fans to support Obama, instead of trying to keep them as her trump card & not members of the democratic party.
She has continually lied to her supporters so repeatedly that they accept her lies as truths. The only way for party unity is for her to get behind Obama, but they are not the only route to the white house. The Clinton rhetoric makes them unfit to stand beside him. because they transformed a race into a fight and won't wholeheartedly support Obama. THE FIGHT has just begun.

Good posts everyone, I hope Lanny and his crew get with the program and face reality that the veep choice isn't theirs, it is the Obama camp's decision, so cut the "we're the entitled one's" crap, you lost either acknowledge President Obama or get lost!

I agree with seth, she hasn't acknoweleged that he is the nominee so how on earth can she want to be the VP. The most important this is for the party to unite and focus on November. I am a woman, support both of them but i think pressuring and pushing Obama to pick her as a VP is not the best thing to do. Give the man the respect he deserves and let him make his own decision after consulting with his campaign, party leaders and the like.

God Bless the United States of America and hopefully we will have a democratic in the White House.

How can she be VP if she's still running to be the nominee? This has gotten out of hand.

Thanks Lanny Davis.
Its not about Obama and Hillary. Now we have to think about American people. If Hillary is not on the ticket we will loose the White house. We do not want another 4 years of Republican Administration. We want a democrat in white house period. The one and only way it can happen is both of them being on the ticket.

We American people want democrats to take the white house. We need this badly. I wish, hope and pary this dream ticket will happen. This is the only ticket by which saves the American people and ensure the white house.

Thanks a Bunch Lanny Davis!! We are counting on you!!!

I encourage all voters to read a book written by Gary Aldrich titled; "Unlimited Access – Inside the Clinton White House," and then decide if you feel Hillary as VP would be a good idea. I think you'll be amazed by what you read. Hopefully Obama has read this book and will make a prudent decision as to who will make a good VP candidate to support him as president and the party's platform and goals for the American people.

Lanny Davis, that is a sickening argument. Kathrine Sebelius of Kansas is "by far, the most qualified and strongest candidate" I am sick and tired of hearing that Hillary is the most anything and she still won't even admit that Obama beat her for the nomination. She just won't stop with her false sense of entitlement. She demonstrates it all the time and when critized for it, she says it's because she is a woman.

Kathrine Sebelius is a bridge builder across party line. She is most compatible to Obama's vision. She will still be young enough in 8 years to become president, unlike Hillary.

Hillary should be given CIA director position. In my opinion, anything else would be counter vision for Obama's presidency.

hillary just doesnt know when to stop now she wants petitons she really needs to grow up i feel the DREAM TICKET would not be a good idea she still thinks she is the better canidate than obama to me thats not having respect for him so why is she entitiled to the vp i say noway!!!

ONLY Hill can save the weak Obama

I can't stand this woman trying to bully her way on to the ticket Tammy I agree sign me up for the NO HELL ARY for VP ticket

Are Obamabots totally out of touch with reality? Senator Obama needs Senator Clinton more than she needs him. If he wants any chance of winning in November, he MUST put Hillary Clinton as V.P. or take the chance of another Bush administration. If she does not accept this VP position, then maybe she should run as an independent (which she probably will NOT do), and then let's see who the stronger candidate is at that point. The ONLY way for democrats to take back the White House is to have both of these candidates on the ticket. Fair and square. GO HILLARY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

Seth is right. Clinton doesn't know what the term "gracious concession" means. We already have a president and VP who are stubborn to the detriment of the US why would we ever want another person in the White House like them?!

The only person I despise more than hillary and bill is lanny davis. Barack, WHO IS THE NOMINEE, will make his own enlightened choice on his VP and let's pray it isn't her. BTW she will be busy in novemeber with Peter Paul vs. Clinton.

If Clinton is not on the ticket I will sit this one out. She has enough political leverage/capital and she's earn her spot on this ticket. It's not a threat as some Obama supporters would have you believe but if Senator Clinton is not considered for the VP position I will not vote for Obama. I am not alone on this. Obama fans, don't get too 'full' of yourself. Obama hasn't won the price. He's almost there but almost really doesn't count. The price is the presidency and not the nomination. Without Clinton he will be chewed up by the Republicans.

TO MR. SETH: HILLARY CLINTON CONGRATULATED OBAMA ON HIS WINNING THE NOMINATION. THAT IS ACKNOWLEGEMENT
THAT OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BY HILLARY CLINTON..
HILLARY IS SIMPLY TAKING TIME TO GET FEEDBACK FROM HER MILLIONS OF SUPPORTERS. DOES IT SEEM PROPER TO ANYONE FOR HILLARY TO CONGRATULATE OBAMA AND TELL HER SUPPORTERS , OKAY IT'S OVER AND YOU ALL GO HOME AND LUMP IT? SHE IS A WOMAN OF GREAT RESPECT AND LOYALTY
FOR HER AIDES, VOLUNTEERS, SUPPORTERS AND EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO HELPED HER AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THEM.

No Unity possible without HILL on the ticket.

Even so, I may still write her in as my choice for president.

She has to do this for the party.

We can vote our conscience in NOV

Umm…let's see, more people voted for Hillary than for Obama.

I think that says it all.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

She lost. Why should she be on the ticket. Why is she any different from any other person. She should just go about her own way and not be a thorn. Why should the rules change just for her

Why, so she can run against him in a few years? She better go home and keep an eye on Bill. I hear that he is up to his old tricks again.
Vote Life Vote McSame

In my opinion Clinton should not be offered the VP position at all.
But if Obama does consider an offer it is should not occur until HRC sincerely acknowledge his winning and conceeded the DEM nominee.

Another intelligent individual. Face it Obamabots, you need us to win whether you like it or not.

This guy Davis has no shame on him I 'm afraid of this guy . He is the going to every TV show trashing OBAMA about pastor ' WRIGHT issue and saying that OBAMA has more to explain to American pleople as if Davis was a Republican and yet here is he talking as about VP shame on you Davis people like you are dangerous for the party

Can the man breathe for five minutes before all these people start trying to shove Hillary down his throat?

Lenny and others, the best way to appeal to Obama is privately not publically. This is the very worst way to appeal to him.

We need a VP with integrity. Hillary is not that person! She has and continues to divide our party and undercut Obama at every opportunity. It time for Hillary and Bill's exit.

This kind of crap turns people off politics and doesn't make Senator Clinton look good either. Lanny Davis should just go home.

Obama should NOT give in to this request. Hihllary has divided the democratic party, and as of right now, has refused to exit the race. She is trying to bully Obama into nominating her for the VP position. She can only damage his campaign if nominated as VP. Her supporters will have to make a choice, and if they decide to vote for McCain, there is nothing anyone can do. Obama should take his chances and not risk losing his supporters – I WILL NOT vote for him if Hillary is on the ticket. McCain is actually not that bad – people call him McBush, but I would rather have him than the Clintons!!

Hillary needs to start showing some respect before she gets it.

EVERYBODY TAKE COVER.

HERE COME THE LOBBYISTS.

…after basically choosing McCain over Obama, Hillary will accept VP? And Lanny Clinton is making the argument for her that without her Obama might lose the election. What if he loses with her, who takes the blame for that.

Obama take Frank's advice and "do it your way".

Here comes the "kitchen sink" strategy on being the VP.

Make him look weak, make him look sexist, bribe him, blackmail him, threaten him…. whatever it takes so that he looses or picks her as VP.

Obama CAN NOT choose a VP that will not even acknowledge that he has won the primary.

Please Obama, do not do it!! This woman has proven herself to be vengeful, spiteful and petty. This is not the type of person (female or male) that you need as your second in command. She has shown an unnatural hunger for the position that you truly EARNED. There is no telling what she (or her little group) will do to sabotage you for this position to which they feel that she is entitled.

Also, she and her husband bring in so many notorious ties and extra baggage that you will not be able to get your message across because you will have to constantly deal with their mess. Please do not do it!! Do not let this (so called) lady blackmail you to give her something. This is your decision….you have worked hard for it!

Clinton and her supporters have blamed everything but Clinton for her defeat: the media, the pundits, the misogynists, the DNC, the rules, the elitists, the disenfranchisement … the list goes on. But as they say in kennels and pet circles everywhere: maybe the dogs just didn't like the dog food!

This IS political folks,

The DEMS will lose without her.

Seriously, it's over!! Clinton, it's time to be a NY Senator again. I'm very disappointed with CNN…….on the morning Obama creates history, the Clinton News Network has a HUGE picture of Hillary.

Did you not get the memo??? OBAMA won!! It's his spotlight!

You just missed out on your chance of depicting history. Instead, you had to kiss the Clinton's big ………

Thanks for showing your true colors!

And Hillary would not be a good VP, she stands for everything Obama is trying to change. Obviously, the "big business" is trying to push her into office so they still get the political "back scratch" they are so accustomed to.

are these people sick? you don't try to strong arm your way into a ticket. That's not how it works. I think Obama has been too nice and cordial to these people and now they're taking advantage. Absolutely Not!!! I'm against her as VP

He should not choose Clinton to be the V.P. She spent months attacking and diminishing his candidacy and now she wants him to trust her to be his running mate? She's being a bully and that will not earn her any respect or help heal the divisions that she went out of her way to create.

Hillary is manipulating her supporter's to blackmail the DNC for the Vice Presidential slot, this is a first in the history of the Party. NO, Sentator Obama won fairly and the choice will be his to make. Shame on all of you who are supporting the usurping of the nominees right to chose his running mate. The unity of this Party is much more important than Hillary's hurt feelings. She will go down in history as a poor loser and a spoiler and all of you pushing this Vice Presidency blackmail will go down with her.

I agree with you Tammy where is the petition for Hillary to NOT be VP

One of the things I have been looking forward to at the end of the primary season is the cessation of the distortions, unfortunate comments and what I see as outright dishonesty from the Clinton campaign. And Lanny Davis is seemingly all to happy to dig in and throw around their distortionsand questionable "points." I don't want any more of it from the Clintons –no Hilliary for VP for me. The days when I admired the Clintons are now gone –thanks to their own actions.

Give it up–you lost. Get on with your lives and let everyone else do that too.

Hillary should be president.

Obama would be lucky to get her as his VP

The selection of the running mate for the Democratic Presidential Campaign should depend on the Obama campaign, the Democratic Party leadership and the Democratic Nominee for President. Hillary Clinton and her many supporters aren’t in the position to dictate policy at this point, in spite of how favorable a joint-ticket that includes both candidates looks at this early stage.

In light of Hillary Clinton’s ungracious refusal to acknowledge Senator Barack Obama as the nominee in her speech last night coupled with her constant negative attacks on him throughout the primary which will surely be recycled as ammunition by the GOP from this point on until the fall; why should the Obama campaign be so eager to jump at the opportunity to consider so early this recommendation without discussing other viable candidates with the Democratic Party leaders as a whole and not solely with those who strongly favor Hillary Clinton?

So now it's really clear, now the true form of the beast finally emerges. Why has this entire process been about Hillary's "Interests", Hillary's "Ambitions", Hillary's "this" and Hillary's "that" and not what the people need. Hillary could serve a greater purpose by serving as the forunner on Barracks cabinet to evolve and push forward Universal Healthcare. She is becoming too self serving and must be called out. Ok superdelegates democratic party you've let her have her space long enough now it's time to start the healing process. She can not be allowed to drown out this Movement of Change any longer.

Lenny —

Sorry, but she has not conceded yet.

What a great idea! All the negatives of Obama, combined with the mountainous negatives of Hillary, combined into one ticket! A guaranteed landslide victory!

The positives of one candidate don't cancel out the negatives of the other candidate. The negatives just accumulate.

I've just realized that Bill and Hillary Clinton are a couple of Drama Queens. I used to such deep respect for those two. But thier 8 years in the White House was Drama. This primay season is Drama again and still. Will it ever end!

That's really funny, LOL

No unity possible any other way.

I will write Hill in in NOV if she gets screwed out of VP post.

Hillarys speech was an insult. Once again its about her, her, her, not us, us ,us.

You lost. Admit it and move on to heal the party, not be a devisive poor loser as you showed last night!

Enough already…Obama achieved a historical milestone against all odds and the Clinton supporters and Hillary herself can't even get off centre stage long enough to respect this achievement. The hysterics and threats are disgusting.

VPs are not chosen this way. Obama has CLEARLY stated he will take his time to look at all options and possibilities and make HIS choice t

I believe that the antics of these die hard supporters like the ones in Washington on the weekend will drive more and more normal, rational supporters away from Clinton.

Whatever it take,Hillary must not concede the nomination!!!!!

Hillary keep fighting !!we the people , want you!!!!!

You are and always will be our MADAM PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

Lanny, your free loading days on hanging on to the Clinton coat tail is over. Get a real job.

Lanny Davis should take Harold Icy-Ickes and take a 6 month sabbatical. When they get back on January 31st, they won't be able to spew their mischief and deceit.-Well they could- but who would listen?Their "contributions" to the Primary were elitist and over-bearing. Their "logic" was questionable at best. Tim Russert got it right when he interviewd Ickes and called him on how his postitions had changed.

this guy is an idiot. hillary lost, get over it. obama do not NEED her to win.

Hillary…be gracious and acknowledge his win. There are many important and useful things you can do to improve the situation for so many in this country. This petition puts OBama in a terrible box and leaves you looking like a poor loser.
PS: I'm over 70, white, female and an Obama supporter.

If she wants to be VP she will need to start by conceiding to OBAMA victory and stop acting like something was stollen from her ,she lost and she should move on!we should move on we need change and im sure that just like Sen OBAMA there is a fresh figure out there ready for VP !

It's over Lanny.

Hillary Clinton carried to much negative baggage both before and after this primary.

First she states that Obama is not good enough to be her VP and now she wants us to forget all of that.

She made this statement after Obama pulled ahead in the primary.

Talk about arrogance.

Bill is salivating over the prospects of getting back into that White House for God only knows what.

Enough is enough.

Out with the old and in with the new.

Goodbye Hillary

For the love of GOD, say NO, No,No to HRC!!!

I'm an independent, but I noticed a lot of stupid democrats can't get their act together. They would rather vote for someone from the opposite party or with totally opposite views than their preferred candidate rather than vote for the other democrat. What idiots. That's like saying if i can't have a BMW I'd rather drive a pinto than a Mercedes or if I can't have the dinner I want then I'd rather eat out of the garbage can than eat from some similar restaurant. WHAT MORONS. So you would rather have four more years of GEROGE BUSH than vote for the next closet thing to your preferred candidate. That's how we got eight years of bush in the first place. But I guess those people are too stupid to remember. Brace your self america we'll be at $20 a gallon gas with no health care soon.

I don't think VP is enough.

But all supporters of HRC- male or female, rich or poor, of any age or any ethnicity, please sign the on-line petition.

WHY does everyone beleive that Clinton has so many backers that would affect the outcome of the General Election. We all know that Republican groups have admitted that they have mobilized groups of republicans to vote for her in the Primaries. All of those votes that she received were not just democrats who would have voted for her in the General Election. You can beleive that the oppoisite is more so true for Obama. It seems that Mr. Pfleger was RIGHT: HILARY CLINTON BELEIVES THAT she is ENTITLED to SOMETHING!

I hope Senator Obama does not choose Hillary as his running mate. Like many others, I feel very strongly that she has a problem with ethics and values, and so I will never cast a vote for her. And however she decides to proceed with her campaign, I know her choice will be a self-serving one, not one based on party or country.

I want to sign the petition out there against this. The thought of the three of them all trying to be President at once is a nightmare thought. If anyone thinks Bill can be counted on to sit quietly in the wings as the "husband of the VP" they are nuts.

This has been a great race for both candidates. But I strongly feel that selecting the VP should be left to the Presidential Candidate. First of all he should be comfortable to work with his VP. Here is the one great question. How much influence Bill Clinton will have in the day to day work in this administration if Hillary is VP ? This may a problem for Obama. I feel Hillary should be given a cabinet post and she can reform the Health Care which she wanted to do. That will be great move to unify the party which has benn split on the line of race and gender.

From what I understand the vice president is voting on at the convention after the president is decided. I keep hearing that it is really Obama's choice. It is the delegates at the convention's decision. This being said it is logical to say Hillary could place herself on the ticket. She certainly has a lot of pledged delegates she when she enters the convention. Many of her close friends might be sympathetic to her cause despite being more afraid of being called racist than sexist.

Let's hope Obama is more of a uniter than his supporters. They are more divisive than the Bush supporters. Unreal!

Wouldnt make any difference anyhow…Hilary backers wont support Obama,, what a joke.

if she was elected, she can not choose Obama as VP! because once she said that he was a good guy but he become bad guy. therefore he is not bad guy.God knwon how to confuse peaple s'mind.

Can we just some 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!!!

Anybody want to sign my petition?

Our group would like to have Lanny Davis, along with some other hallucinogenic Clintonistas, permanently committed to an asylum.

Think about it! The whole delusional team would be together; they could make pretty Hillary signs; and they could fantasize how wonderful it will be when Hillary becomes Queen of the World, or the Pantsuit Pretty Princess…or whatever!

Somebody get the hook and get her off the stage!!
Is there a petition to to sign to state that we don't want her anywhere near the ticket??

I checked out Hillary's website. There's nothing there except a form asking for user input/support. Nowhere does it give any info, or asking for donations, or anything else.

What's up with that? I'm just curious.

How do you spell SORE LOSER ????

These folks are simply UNBELIEVEABLE. She recently said "Once one of us has reached the number of Delegates needed, then that person will be the nominee."

UNLESS that person is someone other than Hillary, I suppose.

WHO CARES if she refuses to concede?? He's WON !!!

FORGET both of the Clintons.

No Hillary on the Obama Ticket it would be the worst nightmare for Obama and he can do alot better .

Newsflash: 47% of America says IT WILL NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton.

Why in the world would Obama do that to himself?

Maybe Hillary wants to be the VP nominee because she knows it would cost Barack the election. It's the only way she has a chance of running in 2012–if she can sabotage Obama's bid now.

Obama…choose someone else…ANYONE ELSE…and you'll beat McCain soundly. That'll keep Clinton out of the White House for at least 8 years. By 2016, she's done.

This Is Why She Wont Concede The Race! She Wants To Hold Out Until She Can Blackmail Her Way Onto The Ticket! What A Discrace! There Are Too Many Negatives That Come Along With The Clinton Name!

I'm with Tammy, I'll sign the NO CLINTON petition!!! Even if 1/2 of what the upcoming article in Vanity Fair about Bill Clinton is true……please the country can't take anymore Clindrama!

IT IS HIS CHOICE!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!! HE DOES NOT NEED HRC TO BE HIS VP. HER SPEECH LAST NIGHT ONLY SHOWED SELFISHNESS. SHE ONLY CARES ABOUT HRC. MEMEBER HOW IN JANUARY SHE SAID THAT THE VOTES ON MI AND FL DIDN'T MATTER? ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE IS BEHIND AND WANTED THOSE VOTES TO COUNT. TOOK IT ALL THE WAY TO DNC, AND IT BACK FIRED ON HER!! PEOPLE NEED TO STOP THE DRAMA AND VOTE OBAMA. NOOOOOOOO FOR HILARY FOR VP. SHE DOESN'T DESERVE IT.

Please stop, we know it would be a nightmare not a dream for Obama if Clinton was VP and for sure, she wouldn't pick him. Let her go off into the sunset with some sort of dignity.

GIVE IT UP….. HE SHOULD BE THE PERSON TO DECIDE.

OBAMA 08

since so many people are not physic thinking He will loose without her please give today lottery numbers since you are now a self proclaimed physic! He can win without her period! its about the issues people.. stop hyping yourself up and get off the Gas…..

This is not a move to become VP. This is a move to STEAL the nomination from Obama. She will do it with a lawsuit that she will file in federal court this week or next.

Here is how she is going to fight in court: EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE. She is going to argue that the 18 million voters who voted for her have been disenfranchised by the Democratic Party because, she will argue, the 18 million votes that she received (which she claims by her math is a majority of the popular vote) did not carry the same weight as the 18 million votes that Obama received. She will claim that the CAUCUS system disenfranchises a disproportionate number of her voters because it places an UNDUE BURDEN on those voters to participate in the caucus framework. She will argue that VOTING in a PRIMARY is a long-standing tradition of the American political system and that a CAUCUS system inherently provides an UNEQUAL voice to some votes and SILENCES others.

It doesn't matter that it was her own campaign advisors (Ickes) who created the CAUCUS system; she will argue that her supporters were denied EQUAL PROTECTION because of UNDUE BURDENS imposed by the CAUCUS system.

Once again, the SUPREME COURT will decide an outcome of an election — in this case, the Democratic Primary. And don't for a minute think that Hillary Clinton will stop before she gets to the Supreme Court. And don't for a minute think that the Republican-controlled Supreme Court will deny her claim — because they will want to create as much havoc and CHAOS as possible for the Democratic Party. AND ALL OF THIS IS THE FAULT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERS WHO HAVE BEEN OVERLY LENIENT TOWARDS CLINTON, perhaps out of fear of retaliation. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FEAR IS THE BASIS OF ACTION.

Why does it always have to be about the Clintons!

OH in 08. I love it. Makes it so much easier for John McCain

I second the notion that we need a petition to say "NO Hillary Clinton" as VP. Her bullying will simply not be tolerated.

We'd reminder her that there is NO WAY she can run in the future, unless she has the support and *respect* of the Obama supporters.

That's because nominees aren't titled until the convention. There about 3 months til the Convention and something can happen from now til then (about half of the entire primary season) that may make the superdelegates back Clinton.

Fellow Americans,

Looks like she will do anything to get the VP spot. Who do you think is telling these guys to saturate the media with the news and the thought that Hillary should be the VP?

This manipulation is divisive – it has divided the party and instead of uniting it – she is still thinking of herself – not the party and she together with these people around her will do anything to fool us that voters will really go for the republicans if she is not on the ticket. Last time I checked it is the Democratic Party – not hers. We, the voters, have spoken and we casted our votes – whether she likes it or not is not relevant. We, the voters, did not picked her and no one should try to fool us and no one should force Obama to pick who he should pick.

Clinton on the ticket does not ensure victory for the party, why don’t these bitter supporters of Hillary understand that? It’s not about women or ethnicity; it’s about moving the country in the right direction. Also, given the speech last night by Clinton, she didn’t do herself any favors for the Vice presidential spot with her divisive comments about a bogus popular vote claim, and visit Hillary Clinton.com to voice your thoughts. Maybe if the Clintons ask Obama with respect, he may consider the offer but he doesn’t have to do anything just because she felt entitled to the nomination.

I wouldn't want a VP who had tried to box me in to a corner or used political leverage against me.

Senator Clinton and her campaign are not showing that they are learning anything in this process.

This is about the American people, our countr, and our future, NOT the Clinton Legacy. They need to show they understand that.

He had better do something to 'win over' the Clinton supporters -
or he doesn't stand a chance in the battleground states that
she won – and traditionally it's virtually impossible to win the
election without those particular states – (which he acts like
he didn't care about losing – he should be very worried about that!)
As should all democrats…

At a previous time when Obama was leading, Hillary volunteered him to be her vice presidential running mate. Now that Obama is the winner, Hillary is volunteering Obama to take her on as a running mate. Note, it is not about what is good for the Democratic Party or what is good for America–it is always what is good for Hillary and Bill.

Oh sure! Hillary, then Bill, then Chelsea and then the family dog!

Hillary has the voice of the People!

And we will back her all the way to Denver and the White House.

Please don't tuck our voice under Obama where it will go silent.

He needs you more then you need him!

Hillary 08

She must have promised these people something big back when she thought she was going to get the nod. I guess they figure they can call in their favors if they could just get her near the whitehouse.
Give us a break we don't want her ! And you shouldn't be trying to force this on Sen. Obama. The Clintons are so desperate for power, they don't care what they do to get it. What's even worse, she's having these people make the plea for her. I guess she figures if she puts enough pressure in Sen. Obama through these lapdogs of hers, he'll give in and go to her to ask.
If she's on the ticket I'm not voting, and goodbye Dems. No I won't go for McBush, I just won't vote.

This guy is the biggest moron on TV right now, IMO.

I have seen him on CNN for months and he is ALMOST as delusional as the candidate he is backing.

Notice I said ALMOST!!

Time to pack it in Lennie, Lenny, Lannie, Lany…or whatever..not important.

I vote for a petition to NOT have her blackmailing, strongarming, defiant delusional self on the ticket as Veep.

Please…let's start our own petition!!!

Originally, I support Hilary because of Bill. But after hearing, reading and following Obama's message and plan for change I made the switch. Now, I am so glad I did. Hilary is demonstrating everyday why we need the change in Washington that Barak wants to bring about. I say a resounding NO to the very idea of Hilary as VP! Please don't do it Barak!

No Way!!!

She is destructive!

"Davis, who has known the Clintons since their law school days at Yale, says he is not acting on the campaign's behalf in launching the petition drive."

Lying through his teeth, just like his school buddies. Take a hike, Davis!

Hey Rendell

I guess your promise list from Clinton is kind of useless now.
You came up big as just another party hack on this one.

Well gee Hillary, after your heart-warming manner and the delusion you live in that you're the nominee, I'm touched that you deign to be on the ticket as VP. How gracious of you, after attempting to wield your 17 million votes like a human cudgel, to do us this favor. I'm tearing up inside.

Seriously, what is with this guy and these "unanswered questions?" If he want's answers, why doesn't he call up Senator Obama and ask him? That way he will have the answers and he can blab and gossip to the Washinton Post about it.

How bout that! (Nothing worst than a man that talks to much)!

Lanny, Lanny, Lanny. Enough already. Just stop. Are you willing to sacrifice the election to advance Hillary?

Just stop, please.

I… can't… take… much more of this garbage from Clinton supporters!

PLEASE for the sake of my sanity, end this fiasco now, so we can concentrate on beating McCain in November! Hillary, go back to the senate, Mr. Obama will handle the executive, you can do the legislative thing.

And Lanny, please stifle yourself. You can't force someone to the VP slot with a petition.

Tammy…you hit the nail on the head……

The NY Giants beat the Patriots in the Superbowl. So the Patriots should strategize to force the Gaints to take them to Disney as well as the White House.

Can this man, and everyone else, give it until the rest of the week before they start making petitions. First, Hillary needs to concede, and congratulate Obama.
Please let the dust settle a little bit, but Hillary needs to move forward and get her supporters to relax, pressuring & trying to bully your way in is not going to work.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. You were one of the unwaranted ardent critics of Obama during the campaign. And now you want your candidate on the ticket. She has to concede first and then we see if we will talk.

Please go away. Enough of the Clintons. Please let them go away.

This is the dumbest idea ever. The shadow of Bill would not go away and she clearly would want this to be a co-presidency not a vice presidency because no one puts hillary in a corner.

{Yawn!}

Back to basics: ABC . . . ANYBODY BUT CLINTON

Lenny, don't you think before you start this, you should have Hillary concede that Obama is the nominee?

Tammy, well said.

See you at campaign headquarts in KC!!

Obama and Clinton will never work. It won't be just the two of them in the Oval office it will be the three of them. Obama, Hillary and Bill.
You cannot blackmail someone into making them choose Billary as a VP? It is all wrong.
Obama would constantly have to be looking over his shoulder after the RFK remark.

What makes this group of vigilantes feel they should be able to dictate to this nominee who his VP should be. That's the problem many have had all along w/ Blllary & Clintonites, that arrogant sense of entitlement. What is needed is a smart, cohesive, unselfish,think outside the box administration. Billary does not fit nor is worthy !!

Mrs. Clinton has said several times that once either candidate had the needed delegates to secure the nomination, she would “fully support” the nominee. Now we see that her support is conditional. I guess that America is seeing what many have suspected all along (including many of her supporters); she can not be trusted! What a shame. Hillary, we will not be strong-armed! Democrats unite for our nominee – Barack Obama!

GET THE HELL OUT, CLINTONS!

It's funny how the part of the Democratic Party that tried so hard to divide by injecting race and gender (and are still continuing to do so with their unbelievable sense of entitlement) are now trying to unite and exact a pound of flesh once it serves their purposes.

Agree with him or not, this is Sen. Obama's decision and Sen. Clinton should have had the decency to give him his day. Once again like a spoiled child they are demanding that she be given what she feels is due to her.

They are stating that Obama barely won, but this is quite untrue. If a major sports team had been defeated by an unknown this would go down in history as the greatest contest ever and the other team would have been expected to be gracious without excuses.

If I go to the store to make a purchase and am short, no matter the amount — I cannot therefore demand that the clerk give me the item.

I once had great respect for the Clintons, but this last attempt at extortion has changed that regard.

true.. i dont want her with Obama. She cant even admit he won i dont think she's modest enough to kindly ask for that position. too arrogant..

Wow different dialouge now. Hmmmmmm……….. just wondering.

MAYBE – Just maybe —– once her divorce from Bill is final.

PROTECT OUR INTERNS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.

just the facts Lanny…if Hillary had won, the only offer all you Clinton supporters would have offered Obama is shining shoes for Bubba. This woman will stop at NOTHING to pursue her evil quest for power..GO AWAY..

Clinton is not only too toxic to be considered for the VP slot (Bill Clinton is part of the package), but her behaviour last night shows unequivocally, she is not deserving of it.

To bully a presidential candidate into taking a VP who clearly does not share his values and ideals is beyond the pale!

This is insane!!!!!!!!!!

In the history of modern politics, the presidential nominee picks his own VP. Why should Obama pick someone who has not gracefully exited or even bothered to return his phone call. Imagine Bill and Hillary running loose in the WH again. No thank you!

I'm with you Tammy…I don't understand why they are doing this..let Obama pick who he wants…this will end up like a bad divorce if he picks her…because she is going to want and run things.

IT WILL NOT WORK

He would need a full time guard for his back with her as VP. I can just see her now "Bill says we need to do it this way"!

The nominee will choose a running mate that will not only aid the win in the general, but that will also enhance the administration in every possible way and be part of a smooth interworking partnership. It's his choice. No one should be thrust upon him.

Lanny Davis is one of the reasons I would never vote for a Clinton. Obama won the nomination, and he would be crazy to have Hillary on his ticket. Change, or a return to the Washington of old, with Clinton sleaze creating a media frenzy and Lanny Davis there to try to clean up the mess. NO WAY.

Clinton as VP?

Do we really want someone in or near the White House who uses words like "s..mBag"?

Davis thinks so.

If Sen. Hillary is the most qualified and strongest candidate why be Obama running mate. Davis, has been a tenacious advocate for Clinton during the course of the primary season. But he said Obama still had not answered several questions about the controversial pastor. But you pushing for the Clinton to serve in the No. 2 spot. what is wrong this out look. Govs. Ed Rendell and Tom Vilsack and Sens. Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein. All of you should ask your self WHY the No. 2 spot. because she is the strongest are messing something here. I think Obama shouldn't give into you guys. NO way No way. She will mess up the Word "CHANGE'"

Obama..08

Now you're sounding like Sore Loserman! Give it up! The country is ready to move on, not stay stuck in the mud puddle.

If ever there were a time for Obama to do his own thinking and decision making it is on this issue. He should NOT even consider Hilary for VP. She will never stop trying to undermine his leadership, or his campaign for President. Her priorities are Hilary 1st, 2nd and 3rd. – not the party, not the country.

Hilary's speech last night was clear evidence that she is incapable of serving as VP. If the Democrats want to loose the election, make Hilary VP. If the Democrats want any chance to win — stick with Obama and support his choice of a strong VP candidate –but absolutely NOT Hilary Clinton!!

Obama needs a true partner as VP to help not only win the election, but to get this country back on track. Forcing someone onto the #2 spot because of some perceived entitlement will not create that type of partner.

On one hand I would say that due to her overwelming support within the Democratic party, she has a right to be the VP on Obama's ticket. But when she resorted to praising Senator McCain, her party's opponent, over her rival for the nomination, Senator Obama, as being ready and fit to be president and that Obama wasn't, she not only crossed the line, she lost any and all right to be on Obama's ticket.

Obama is now the Nominee. Senator Clinton and her supporters to need to grow up and accept it. It is HIS decision who he wants as HIS running mate. Period.

Lanny!! Go away!!! Your divisive, petulant demeanor has insulted the intelligence of open minded people. We can appreciate your bull-dogedness, but your call, your petition, even the insinuation of Senator Clinton's comments making it seem like she is now 'seeking' the VP slot is demeaning to your candidate and to the presumptive nominee. If there were a smattering of grace and humility showed by Hillary last night while being presented as "the next President of the US" by Terry McAuliffe — I couldn't detect it. The idea that Senator Clinton would be the ideal running mate is absurd. Those who are wanting a different kind of politics and want to move forward know better. Frankly we don't have need of those who have spent the last several months deriding Senator Obama and taking every opportunity to make wedge issues the order of the day. Senator Clinton would be an albatross around Obama's neck — while he has had to endure comments made by his pastor, now he'll have to accept all of the comments past and present from Senator Clinton, and Bill, as his surrogates. Talk about a nightmare! Lanny… take a deep breath, take a vacation, keep your fingers crossed for an invitation to one of the inaugural balls in January.

June 4th, 2008 12:08 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Another intelligent individual. Face it Obamabots, you need us to win whether you like it or not.

NO OBAMA, DO NOT MAKE BILLARY YOUR VP

WE WANT CHANGE

WE WANT A FRESH FACE

DON'T BOW DOWN TO THE CLINTON MACHINE

Davis, just look ahead. Think how you can support the nominee to win the election for your party. It does not matter whether it's Obama or Hillary. What matters is the Nominee is a Democrat "your Party".

I feel this is a bad move all the way around because not only do you get her you get big daddy bill too. how would the duty get divided up. Terrible idea!!!!!!

Please, please DO NOT PICK HILLARY for VP. She is evil, everyone knows she wants the top job, if she accepts the VP job, it will be just to undermine Barack. Why can't this woman lose gracefully?

Why does America put up with her bad behavior? If the situation were reversed, Barack would have been hanged and thrown to the wolves by now, this is double standards and it isn't fair. I hope she goes into more debt. She should be punished for this callous behavior.

Barack, don't take her, there is a better white woman out there for your veep. You don't need her, you are going to win regardless.

Let's see, Hillary as VP for Barack. That would be like having OJ Simpson invited to a house party at the Goldman's.

ARE YOU BEGGING???? LANNY DAVIS WHY DO YOU GO AND FIND THE REV WRONG AND TELL HIM HE HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!!

They would make a Historical excellent team!!

Lanny, You are like Her!!! A "SORE LOSER"!!! She just doesn't deserve the VP spot. There a lot a good women for the position.

Obama Will Choose His Own VP! And Bring A Close To The Clinton Era!

For the many supporters of Senator Clinton who want to persue such an option, I believe that it may do more harm than good. To try to force the VP on Senator Obama will only serve to make the option less likely as it will be imperative for him to make his own choice.
Additionally, as long as Senator Clinton is still in the race, it wouldn't make sense for Senator Obama to offer her the VP spot as she is still opposing him. This is clearly the case as some of her Washington colleagues just this morning refused to acknowledge that Senator Obama has enough delegates to be the nominee, stating that 'anything can happen'
The longer this type of attitude continues, the more damage it does to the image of Senator Clinton.

Lanny, that is asking for too much and I can guarantee, it's not going to happen.
If Obama tries it, I will start mobilizing people to vote for McCain.

I am totally sick of Lanny Davis. Senator Obama deserves the right to make his own decision. Get over it!

PLEASE give it up !

Although we all know that she is a hard worker, we all know that she will not take second-place. That is not in her personality.

She will not respect and give Senator Obama his well deserved place. And…there is Bill ! This situation will not work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need a VP who will respect and work with our President. Not disrespect, question his every move and work against him.

SORRY…but Hillary is not the one.

This pressure is getting ridiculous. Let Obama make his own decision, as I'm reasonably sure he's aware that Clinton exists and is worthy of consideration.

There are numerous reasons why Clinton would be a good choice and there are numerous reasons why Clinton would be a bad choice. This idea that "it's historic, so he HAS to choose her" is not a good reason. The rational decision is who is the best PERSON for the job.

For what it's worth, if the decision were up to to me, I'd go with Bill Richardson. He has significant experience and he doesn't infuriate over half of America.

You have got to be kidding!!!
Obama better hire a food taster if her and her supporters are let in!!!

This is ridiculous. Of course Hillary's supporters are going to come out and push for her to be the VP candidate. Why wouldn't they? They don't want to have their support and efforts go for nothing, so why not go for the silver medal? Just let the Clintons head off into the sunset…at least for now. Nice of Hillary to need the spotlight again last night for a "no decision" presentation.

As far as Hillary Clinton being the strongest contender for VP I completely disagree. My concern here is the way she has handled these primaries. Cheap shots, tears, misrepresentations, limited exposure to the process as a player of this governmental process of ours are reasons, just to name a few.

Being the wife of a president and being involved from that "protected" enviroment does not warrant experience. She has only been a Senator for a short period. she has no history in her background of successul management. Personally I grew up in a family of 8, seven of which were boys and I have characteristics at times that reflects that enviroment but that does not make me me a man.

Granted she has good "ideas" but she can best serve and position those good ideas perhaps even sucessfully from the Senate floor. She does the party an injustice by not admitting that her opponent has presumptively won the democratic nomination. Perhaps then the suggestion of her as VP would not seem out of the ordinary. In doing so she would at least give an indication that she has the "grace" to be a "vice" President.

The way I see it at this point is that ,if she were given the opportunity of VP, it would only serve her purpose of having yet another opportunity to position herself for attention. It would appear to be a conflictual arrangement at best.

On the other hand in positioning herself behind the nominee perhaps her supporters would follow suit. Although I am afraid that the former first lady's ego is a bit swelled and that may be impossible for her.

I was thinking there for about a minute that it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have her on the ticket with Barack, but after her defiant speech last night and her supporters applying so much pressure on Obama. . . I no longer believe he should take her. If he takes her now, he seems weak if he gives in to her pressure. Hillary and Bill would overshadow his historic presidency. Lanny Davis is the last person that needs to be pushing this. He does not produce warm fuzzies and concilliatory feelings from Obama supporters.

No way Clinton should be VP. She will try and undermine Obama's presidency. She is EVIL

No! Please, no. I do not want that woman anywhere near the White House. Isnt it bad enough that she's been the biggest bully in the party, that now her supporters have to shove her down my throat? That's what this is all about, isnt it? Enough American people said, "no, we dont want her. She's just like THEM" but yet still the old system tries to force us to accept her. I agree with what was said last night on CNN, that accepting Hillary will make Obama look weak, that she's the complete opposite of his "change" message.

She's not wanted, anymore. Her type of politics isnt wanted any longer. Enough.

You have a point, now; but your past atttitude keeps on eroding all good intentions you may be having for this great nation. However, you did well to plead mercy. Your prayer is heard; leave the room to Obama to treat it. An advice: would you ask your mistress Hillary to be courageous enough and humble herself before Obama, pleade her own case and ask for FAVOUR and FORGIVENESS! I trust Obama's kindness; it may work.

Sen. Obama need to have the same rights every other Democratic nominee had. Let him, along with professionals without a hidden agenda, decide his VP. He need some one who respects his victory and are willing to work with him. If Hillary wanted to do any thing she could to help elect Sen. Obama in November, she would have started by conceeding on last night.

If he don't select her, what will she do? Go to Denver and fight for the spot?

While it may appease Clinton and her team for her to reap a VP slot, in reality it's not a win for her. The VP spot is a second shoe, limited spot that would limit her ability to do the things she wants.

I feel it would much more reflect on her hard fought campaign and values to land a newly created cabinet spot addressing the nation's health care crisis. If that were not an option, I think she should go out on her own in the fashion of Al Gore and create a foundation addressing the national health care crisis.

That's just my 2 cents, but I think supporters who are shoving her into the VP slot are too short-sighted and underestimate her potential.

Ron Paul!!!!

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!

Sorry, but how/why is Hillary suggesting she be Obama's VP when she hasn't acknowledged that he is the Nominee?

Is this about her or the AMERICAN PEOPLE? You lost and you have lost your mind if you think your owed anything? I thought your campaign was about the issues – Healthcare, War in Iraq, Economy…No matter what democrat gets in the office this will be the issues that they will work on.. I Use to have some much respect for the Clinton's now I have a ZERO TOLERENCE for them. They try to make so many divisions, race,sex,experience. The Clintons are just money and power hungry and self seeking. They need to be kicked out the party they bring nothing but problems if she is on the ticket i will not vote for either one of them…

He has no respect for Obama. If he did, first thing is to join Obama in at least one victory lap. Maybe after some humility Obama will have an open ear.
Number 2 should first act like number two, we've had enough of Dick Cheney behind Bush pulling all the strings

So now it is down to blackmail

the selection of his running mate is HIS decision not her supporters, not the media, not the party, no one but him. While I know he will listen to all the input he is NOT obligated, no matter how many THREATS he recieves to pick ANY specific running mate. get over it folks clinton lost, Obama won and this is HIS choice and HIS alone.

Do we really want Bill Clinton to have access to the White House again? I think the majority of the country is over the Clinton era. Lets get on with getting the country going forward, not getting Bill his old play back!!

It would nice if Hillary would acknowledge that Barack Obama is the nominee and that she would quit campaigning. They can always work together. This stiff arm attitude is awful.

Please stop this.

Larry, get a grip! Give it up! Yeah, right, Hillary didn't instruct you to do this! Hillary is old school politics and Obama is new school…so all those independents would run to McCain if she were selected for VP. In issues their thinking is very similar; but in the way the government should be run, it's quite different. Why can't Hillary's supporters let this whole thing drop now that Obama is the presumptive nominee. I dont see this as helping to pull the party together but just some more spin to divide it.

Absolute madness!!!

Great. Our annointed preisdent elect is going to prove to the world that he can be pushed around on his very first presidential decision….namely who should be VP. Great way to set the stage for getting shoved around for the next 4 years.

Veeeery presidential.

Yesterday morning I thought, "well, I don't like her, but if it helps in the General Election, why not putting her on the ticket, it could be a possibility."

After her speech last night though, I don't want to see her on the ticket at all. What a self absorbed woman. She wanted the night to be about her? Give me a break. It was an historic momen, a black person to be the nominee, and she thinks the night should have been about her? How ridiculous, selfish and party destroying!!
Also, there is just too much drama coming with either Clinton. How do they dare to blackmail Obama to take her on the ticket. Putting the gun to his head will not help her at all.

Once again, the Clinton Campaign did just what served her the best. Just get it once and for all: "YOU LOST, GO HOME! IT'S NOT ABOUT HILLARY ANYMORE!'

I VOTE NO FOR HILLARY AS VP.SHE WILL ALWAYS TRY TO PUT OBAMA DOWN.

Loser Lanny Davis — give it up. You and Clinton should just go away. We don't need losers in this campaign. Besides that, Lanny, you have lived off the democratic politicians for way too long — isn't it time to retire?

Beside pride, i would like to know why is lenny davis so persistent. hillary tarnished her reputation, she doesn't belong on the Obama ticket. if she wanted to be VP, she should have act like she wanted it last night, she chose to act like she won something and now have lenny running around to get her VP spot.
this would be the worst thing to ever happen to Obama, having her as VP. YES she can help him better than any other politician right now but, Obama got this far with no help and had to jump so many obstacle and the fox news media(hannity in particular). now people are saying that he must, PLEASE LENNY TELL YOUR BOSS TO STOP BOSSING PEOPLE around aight. Politc has no face, so you fight your enemies today and eat with them tomorrow, that being said, there are reason why she should but demanding that she gets the VP spot is not one to them.
as for the so call hillary supporters, i know how you feel but don't let anger and fear dictate your vote, do some research, pay attention and then choose your president. Obama is what we all need in the white house.

LET THE GOOD TIME ROLLLLLLLL

Sure Hillary wants to be the 1st woman in history to in any catagory, doesn't matter…. President , Vice President etc, So far she only can claim fame to be the 1st former 1st Lady to do absolutely nothing as a Senator, for the people of New York.

Remember: you have the right to ask but not to demand. That is solely Obamas choice.

STOP IT people!!!!! Obama can make decision on his own….STOP telling and demanding him to do something that he may not want to do.

The first Black man to have such a position and everybody wants to tell him what to do. Get some business of your own….The party will come together and Obama will be the President of the US….

Hillary is not the person for him on this ticket…..Obama can make up his own mind, so PLEASE let him………this is crazy and getting out of control…..Hillary didn't win so do you really think she wants seconds. I am sure Obama don't want the Clinton's in the WH with him and everytime he turn around they are telling him, "WELL WE USE TO DO IT THIS WAY" NO, NO, NO AND NO, NO, NO….STOP IT PLEASE

As weard as it feels after all of this, he make's a hell of a point…

Back off, double face

Lanny Davis is a not an official of the Clinton campaign —- why is he news?

Barack Obama is the story — all around the world. The American news media should bask in the accolades for a few days and give Clinton a time out which is what I would do if my child behaved as she did last night.

I attended Senator Obama's rally last night in St. Paul, in which the crowds of all ethnicities stood in line for hours to celebrate our victory for political change.

I do not know what rumors about Obama are floating around in the e-mails, but I do know that spreading controversial rumors as fact is a tort action of libel.

Libel is a civil lawsuit that places the people responsible for starting rumors or continuing to spread rumors with reckless disregard to the facts.

Many people, natives and visitors, in St. Paul believe that Sen. Clinton is too controversial to become the VP. Many people expressed their opinions that Clinton threw everything she could at Obama in the hopes of beating him in the primary contest.

I talked to a political science teacher who told me the better female VP choice would be the Governor of Nebraska–I don't remember her name, sorry.

Let's all move forward and end this nonsense of special interests in Washington D.C. and the political policies that turned America away from prosperity and political credibility with the world.

Get Over It! Most Americans Do Not Want Hillary Anywhere Near The White House! America Has Voted And They Have Said No To Clinton! She Is A Poison Pill That You Cant Convince Most Americans To Swallow!

Davis is an idiot. His carreer is over. period.

Hillary and her supporters keep saying "she's not a quitter!" They're right….but as of last night, she's a LOSER — she LOST the race to be the democratic candidate before bowing out gracefully. Good race Hillary, but you lost….now be the good sport, admit defeat and quit trying to demand the VP slot.

Barack is running on Change and Hillary is anything but Change. The way she ran her campaign illustrates that point. Barack ought to consider Christine Todd-Whitman ….. a strong woman with executive experience who is a Republican — it'd be a great way to show he's serious about changing Washington. And it would take away the "sexism" argument the Clinton supporters have been crying lately……probably because yelling "we overestimated our greatness, had a flawed strategy and ran out of money" isn't sound-byte worthy! But, as they've done repeatedly now, the Clinton team would no doubt find a new reason to cry & fight.

Give it a rest. Let the smoke clear. She's not really an advantage for the ticket. Don't get all emotional about this . Choose wisely.

This man is stupid.
How can you choose for Obama.

Live this guy to mkae his own decision base on his own vision.

What a humiliating posture the Clinton supporters are putting their candidate in…. trying to "force" her onto the ballot by a petition! If Obama makes the decision to offer the spot to her as his running mate, shouldn't that decision be based upon HIS perception of her as the right choice and not one that he is forced into? You're like a bunch mothers trying to force their loser daughter on the potential prom king as a date for the prom! Please… at this point have some dignity and even more…. allow your candidate some dignity instead of such desperation!

What amazes me is that the Obama supporters tell us that we have to embrace Obama and those of us who do not that we will eventually. A WAKEUP CALL NO WE WON'T.

HIS SUPPORTERS DON'T WANT HILLARY AS VP BUT YET THEY WANT US TO EMBRACE OBAMA. THIS IS DOUBLE STANDARD. I FOR ONE DON'T WANT HER TO BE VP BECAUSE SHE IS BETTER THAN THAT. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE THE ONES THAT VOTED FOR BUSH, IF THEY HATE THE CLINTONS SO BADLY THEN I CAN'T SEE HOW THEY WOULD VOTE FOR HIM SO THAT MEANS THEY EITHER STAYED HOME OR VOTED FOR BUSH.

Contrary to the tide of high-level Democratic officials, senators and representatives in Congress who think Hillary should be on the Obama ticket, I think it would be a MAJOR mistake, and could cost Obama the election. Aside from the fact that she cheapened the primary campaign by impugning his background and ability and essentially weakened him in the process, Clinton does not represent the kind of fresh change that Obama’s supporters want, and that many non-Democratic leaning people are attracted to in the first place. Think about it – she’s a Washington insider. She operates the old way. She has and still alienates many, many people, including Democrats. She couldn’t get things done on health care before because she created too many enemies in the process. She split the Democratic party over the primary season. How do you think she would act as a VP? She won’t sit tidily back, that’s for sure. She will demand to have a major voice in the government, like Cheney does. This will create infighting within the party and administration. Obama will not feel free to take his own course and will be constantly dealing with how Clinton reacts to his policies. Perhaps most importantly, Clinton will cause many who might support Obama in the fall to stay away. I know several Republican leaning people who were enchanted with Obama early on and willing to give him a chance, despite being a liberal Democrat. They absolutely hate Hillary and the Clintons, and say that if she is on the ticket, there is NO WAY they will vote for Obama in the fall. Putting Hillary on the ticket could very well cost Obama the election. DON’T DO IT!!

Why is Hillary's face front and center on CNNs main page? Didn't she lose? I though Obama was the nominee. Show some respect. I know it is difficult for CNN to come to terms with the fact that she's out. Try a little harder.

VP candidates should be fully vetted by Obama and his team of advisors– the best person for the job–should be the pick-of Obama and his committee–

to push a VP -especially Hillary-on Obama-will alienate many Obama supporters–if she had graciously got out last night–I think Obama supporters would be open–but her 'old' style pushy politics is everything he is against–and his supporters are against–

She has shown that she does not care about anyone else—in the US except HER—

Hey Davis,
Get on the Obama train! I don't think Clinton is Barack's veep choice, so cut the BS and let's go beat McCain

There is no chemistry between Clinton and Obama. Clinton as a VP for Obama does not make any sence. Both of them want to be in full charge i,e. "The President". o need to waste time in obvious matters.
Thanks

GIVE IT UP LENNY. OBAMA IS NO PUSHOVER, AND WON'T BE PRESSURED AND INTIMITADED BY THE CLINTONS AND THEIR MINIONS. STAND STRONG OBAMA, THE CLINTONS ARE A GROVELLING, POWER HUNGRY BUNCH, THEY START OFF BY DEMANDING THE WHOLE LOAF, WHEN THEY ARE STOOD UP TO, THEY WILL SETTLE FOR A SLICE ,AND EVENTUALLY A CRUMB.

NO! NO! NO! NO!
LET OBOMA AND THE SELECTION COMMITTEE DO THEIR JOB PLEASE.

CNN = Unbiased.

We rely on you!!! please post this!!

Thanks Lanny Davis.
Its not about Obama and Hillary. Now we have to think about American people. If Hillary is not on the ticket we will loose the White house. We do not want another 4 years of Republican Administration. We want a democrat in white house period. The one and only way it can happen is both of them being on the ticket. If there is a third person on ticket its 100% we will loose the white house for Republicans.

We American people want democrats to take the white house. We need this badly. I wish, hope and pary this dream ticket will happen. This is the only ticket by which saves the American people and ensure the white house.

Thanks a Bunch Lanny Davis!! We are counting on you!!!

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

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

Again, I think that Senator Clinton is too much of a liability to put on the ticket.

Genuine Demomcrats will vote for Senator Obama whether she is the VP candidate or not.

However, she is so despised by the right and many moderates that she would prevent him from reaching cross-over voters.

All she really brings is ammunition for his opposition.

He can not win without her.

For all Clinton's strengths coming into this election, she has proven herself a divisive, negative, and emotional drag on the party she claims to support. Clinton and her 'old politics' way of doing things flies in the face of everything Obama stands for. Obama can do better. Much better. And he's EARNED the right to choose his own running mate.

If Clinton genuinely had the interest of her party at heart, she would support Obama, her party's nominee, any way she can. Instead, she and her supporters use extortion to get her way. Sad.

The only winning ticket.

While Obama's win is historical moment for America and the western world, there is something sad about the side show engaged by the Clintons and in their pursuit of power even in the VP slot.

Hillary Clinton, the so called champion of civil right for all has missed to aknowledge a historical moment in American history by failing to simply the achievement of Obama by reaching the 2118. she did not need to concede to acknowledge history in the making. Hillary will be remember for her denial of the historic win of Obama.

she is a great leader who clearly fails to lead when it mattered; last night she had an opportunity to unite the party. Obama's win is symbolic of all that is possible in America for not just minorities, but also for women. Even America is open to nominating and electing an African American, surely that advances the need to also shatter the gender cealing.

I am saddened and disappointed in the Clintons.

This is ridiculous. It's up to Barack Obama, after a thorough search and background check, to make the choice of who he wants running with him on the ticket. Petitions and pressure from die-hard Clinton supporters only make her less likely to get the nod.

We've heard enough from Davis, Johnson and the rest. What they want is their own continued influence. What Barack Obama needs are people loyal to him. Clinton ran a good race and like Biden, Dodd, Kerry and, yes, Ted Kennedy, she should go back to the Senate and distinguish herself in that body. This "shilling" is further damaging the Clinton legacy.

Barack should go public … and tell Hilary "she is not getting the VP"

This Clinton surrogates ………… are annoying me now ………. this will end this pathetic talk about VP …….

anyways …….. Democrats 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would, without a doubt, be the strongest Democratic ticket ever. The only stronger one would be President: Hllary Clinton, VP: Barack Obama.

Our goal is to beat the Republican candidate and start turning this country around after eight years of the worst presidency in history – and start recovering the good will of the international community, which has been demolished by GW and his cronies.

I would NEVER urge Senator Obama to take Hillary Clinton as his VP. He could never trust her nor could either Barak or Hillary control Bill Clinton. This would make for a totally disfunctional administration. You would end up with three people who think they are president. No way!!!

NO. NO NO – never!! What is wrong with these people? She LOST – it's DONE it's OVER. Grow up.

I cannot believe the nerve of these Clinton supporters trying to back Obama into a corner. Asking "what does she want?" Who cares want she wants – she lost – she has no say in anything. These people are unbelieveable.

Please no Hillary as VP

mr davids so all of a sudden u are now writing petition to pressurise barack to take hillary with him.people like u should be swallowing their vomits now how can the man who has 10 undisputed weakness appear to have trounced your candidate.Now u have resulted to writing petitions to make him take your candidate.who is now the weaker candidate?

Lanny Davis is a typical BITTER clinton attack dog. Another person sore loser!

Obama would be a real WEAK to let those CLINTON LOBBYISTS AND SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS get their way to make her a vp.

What a STUPID idea!

How can I say this "NO FREAKIN WAY!!!!!"
She'll pull him down and cause him to loose. There's plenty of people out there far better suited and would help him win Nov. than her. She's casued to much trouble and people want her to "GO AWAY" . Not too mention the trouble Bill the egotistical maniac would cause! "Lockup your daughters"

Yeah, Lenny … and she would be 'ready on day one'. Maybe you should mail that letter to McCain.

Why don't you just pack up and leave the stage as well, huh ? Come back in eight years if you must.

Do we really need Hillary Clinton as VP? She is done so scrape her off and move on and let Barack Obama pick a VP of his own that can match his appeal and ideas on how to attack the problems our country is facing. Please people, let Clinton go away!!

This is truly a joke. If Hillary was the nominee would you be petitioning for whomever to be your her nominee. It is he and his campaign team's decision who his running mate is. Hillary is not just bad for the Party she is bad for America. The type of leadership she is providing in defeat, is the same kind of leadership that has the United States on the hot seat with so many countries.

Moses, Charlotte NC

I don't know. Doesn't it seem that a more respectful approach would be more conducive to a political alliance? Her speech last night had defiant undertones – almost giving the impression of veiled threats. If she wants the VP slot, she should concede, congratulate Senator Obama and then have discussions in private – not give defiant speeches and organize petition drives designed to put pressure on him. If this is how it is going to be, then she should not be VP.

I am not totally against her as his running mate. However, sh must understand that the VP is a subservient position to the President. There is not such thing as a co-President.

Lanny Davis go home!!! Seems like it's not only Senator Clinton that's a sore loser.

This guy is a nut. He was being a total victim and I loved how Anderson Cooper handled him a couple of weeks ago. He made himself look like a total dilusional fool!

I'm really sick of people suggesting Obama should pick Hillary as VP. I dont have a problem with Clinton but I think itd be a bad idea. The media, as usual who know exactly what they are trying to do, have overblown this VP thing. No body wants a Clinton-Obama ticket as badly as the media. Obama should follow his gut, but its difficult to do that when you can only imagine what obsessive coverage will result if he does not pick Clinton. It blows my mind how once Clinton even mentions the letters VP, the media declares her Obama's presumptive running mate.

The issue with the Clinton campaign is that it has never been about the people – it has always been about the Clintons hoodwinking the poeple. As P. T. Barnum once said "There's a sucker born every minute." I'm sorry Mr. Davis, I'm not buying.

Last night, Ms Clinton had an opportunity to show herself as a great and gracious politician. Instead she bared raw once again to show how she is petty, bickering, self-important, and devisive.

Don't kid youself either. It's not that Hillary is a woman. It's that Hillary is a "Clinton".

Yes. Positively. Without a doubt. Obama absolutely needs Clinton as his VP. Let us be pragmatic and realistic about Obama's feasibility in obtaining the necessary nationwide voter blocs required to win the White House in November against the Republicans. Fact: Hillary is the absolute best nationwide Vice Presidential choice for a November success. If Democrats are to win the White House, it is necessary for Obama to select her as his running mate. It's the ONLY way Democrats will win in November. Any other VP choice and the Democratic Party will not beat McCain/the Republicans. Any other VP choice besides Hillary and Obama will not get the voters across the country he requires. If Hillary is not selected for the Vice Presidential position, Obama will not be able to pick up Clinton's 18 plus million voters nation-wide necessary for victory. If Hillary is not selected for the vice presidential position, McCain will carry the November election. Obama will not have the voting majority needed to win the White House, and we will still have Republican-based problems and the Iraq War to contend with for another 4 years. Mr. Obama: Do what is required for Dems to win in November — Select Hillary Clinton ASAP and let's have a great, great Democratic National Convention and head onto November!!

Quite right, Hillary has over 17 million votes, that is something to be considered.

Remember, it's not about the candidate now, it's about the party.

Obama/Clinton 08/16

Until yesterday, I thought Clinton and Obama could be on the same ticket. Now, I think it would be a mistake. Clinton's ego does not seem to allow her to play second fiddle. She also seems stuck on her own ego, instead of what is good for the party. If some choose to vote for McCain because Obama does not obey Clinton, then they weren't really democrats in the first place. And how many republicans would be energized just by her if she were on the ticket?

I couldn't agree more! We cannot take a chance of electing John McCain. If we have a Obama/Clinton ticket this will protect all of us needing a Democrat in office.

Both Obama and Clinton bring together the states we need. Obama needs to look what is right for the Democratic Party.

He should not negotiate with terrorists. No shotgun marriage!

Lanny, you are wack. Pack it up and go back to Hillville. What a cracker.

It is time for Hillary to shut up and let the rest of us get on. I will not vote for the Democratic ticket if she is picket for VP. Bill Clinton needs to go back to New York and let us get on with the next election.

Why should Barack Obama select Hillary Clinton as his VP? There are much better candidates than she for the job. Her interests are totally self oriented, and as much as she has acted like the American people are her first interest over the past 16 months, I do not believe it for one minute. Her whole career – back to Arkansas – shows a total involvement in promoting herself. She would remain an antagonist and competitor with Barack Obama if she were in the VP spot, and would definitely not be above back-stabbing him whenever she could to prove she would have been the "better choice".

Ummm excuse me but doesn't Obama have a say in this. Isn't this also like hiring decision #2 for Hillary? America said no to her hiring decision #1. I'm pretty sure we will say no to hiring decision #2.

I have to ask, if all of Hillary's spokesmen and supporters hate Obama so much, why in God's name do they want her to be his VP? Why do they want her to work for him? It surely can't be to actually help him.

Bill Clinton's outburst the other day about nailing Hillary for Obama was outlandish. They can put together all the petitions they want to but she should NEVER be on his ticket. I'm telling you he can't win WITH HER on his ticket. Maybe that's what she wants. If she is on the ticket she will pull every Republican out of their 8 year slumber and cost Obama the election. She would cause him to lose not because she is against but because she would be WITH him.

I shouldn't even put this in writing but it keeps crossing my mind. Her comment on Robert Kennedy just won't leave my head. No one made her say that…she chose to say it. THE political savy Clintons, every word and every action rehearsed and coached? None of it makes any sense to me at all. I think Obama's biggest enemy…not opponent but enemy…comes from within his own party. Unbelievable.

So her minions attack him like he is the worst thing that ever came from America, refuse to recognize him initially as the presumptive nominee, and now wants top billing for the number 2 spot; are you serious? I would consider it very weak of him to fold to her campaigners whims and very disrepectful of her campaigners to try to force her upon him.

I'll say this for Lanny Davis – he has chutzpah, which is a polite term for being pushy and at times obnoxious. This should be Sen. Obama's decision to make without such blatant outside interference, and once again, it demonstrates the supreme lack of respect the Clinton camp has for Sen. Obama as well as the hypocrisy that enables them to point the finger at others and cry foul. I've never seen a less gracious loser in my life. For all the people Hillary Clinton MIGHT bring to the ticket, surely there are a considerable number that her presence on the ballot would repel. And she did nothing during this campaign except reinforce the negative impression so many people have of her.

i am all for it, i am big obama supporter who believe clinton should be on the tickect, the most important thing right now is to unite the party, we are after all one big family fighting for what's right in this country, i have had a hard time deciding between the two, but i am happy obama came out on top. us obama supporter are criticizing hillary supporters for saying they will vote for mc cain if clinton is not the nominee, and now yall saying you wont vote for obama if hillary is on the ticket, i dont get it that's hypocrisy. let's unite and take america back.

obama/clinton

We vote NO for Hillary as Vice President… We need Change.. Hillary as VP is not Change… So don't push it… Hillary is a disgraced poor lady, Liar, selfish…

Mr Davis, and other supporters like him, are one reason Senator Clinton lost the nomination. They are mean-spirited, distort reality, resort to questionable tactics and fail to acknowledge that the reason she lost was poor planning, poor strategy, poor management of campaign finances, mistatements and outright lies. Yes, sexism and racism unfortunately exist, but to blame Senator Obama and his campaign for Senator Clinton's losses is outrageous. Show some leadership and accept responsibility for your own actions and distractions (i.e., Bill's outbursts), and show some real care and concern for the party and the American people you say you care about by acting in a way that is best for them, and not just what you want for yourself. If Bill will come clean about his business and foundation dealings, and all the other Clinton baggage which we know about now and that which we don't know about yet – then maybe Obama can consider her as a potential pick, but I doubt they will ever decide to come clean, as other vp candidates would have to. Just wait and see.

I feel that Hillary should be VP, This will make sure we will win in Nov.

I'm circulating a petition asking Lanny Davis to shut-up already. To all those who are interested, just blog
"Shut-up Lanny"!

Lanny Davis… you can keep her for yourself..

We DON'T WANT Hillary AS VP…. Not NOW… NOT EVER…!!

I would never want Hillary to be a "breath Away" from the presidency..

………. Not NOW… NOT EVER……….

VP is a presonal decision and pushing Hillary on America and it's citizen is disgusting… Lanny You keep Her.. We don't want her..

Barack Obama is very, very capable of making this decision his decision.. that is why so many MORE American's voted for Barack Obama to be the democratic nominee..

Heck, Hillary doesn't even acknowledge his HISTORIC accomplishments.. She is disgusting…

……….. NOT NOW… NOT EVER ……….

Why Oh Why?….Obama can choose who he wants and deserves that right after this long fought battle…and if Clinton was interested in the VP position then why didn't she concede last night?

Another Clinton suppoerter angry because a black man beat her for the nomination and they are sad this is getting funny Hillary Clinton has not even admitted that she has lost but they want to put her on there ticket this is the stupides thing that they could do.

NO CLINTONS ON THE TICKET….. Enough with Hillary and Bill

This malarkey is ridiculous. Develop a petition to force Obama to take Hillary on as his VP. I really hope he choose the candidate the best works for him in the country. Not because some people feel it’s owed to someone else. People let’s come together as Americans and Democrats, get behind Obama, to alleviate another 4 years of Bush policies.

"We write to urge you to select Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to be your choice for vice president because we believe that she would be, by far, the most qualified and strongest candidate to be your running mate."

Hey Lanny, here's a quick newsflash bro…

YOU LOST!

I find it laughable at the gaul of these Clinton supporters trying to stongarm their will onto the Obama campaign.
Can you imagine the outrage if the shoe were on the other foot.
I could hear it now, "How dare a man tell Hillary what to do."

These Hillary people need to get over themselves and let this thing play out. I'm sure they would not stand for Obama bigfooting their moment.
So please stop trying to bigfoot his.

She does not deserve to be VP. There are better people out there who have respect and are willing to make the Democratic party a unified one.

FORGET IT….WE DO NOT WANT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON TO BE MR OBAMA'S VICE PRESIDENT….

KEEP HER AS FAR AWAY FROM OBAMA …AND ANYWAY MICHELLE OBAMA AINT HAVING IT…

HILLARY YOU ARE A SORE LOSER AND I LOST ALL RESPECT FOR YOU…..I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS….

As Hilliary stated no one should be force to leave the race, surperdelegates should pick whom ever they see fit, so the wining nominated candidate should be ale to pick whom they see fit too…

Hillary should accept defeat and let Obama move on with the job of defeating McCain. The VP should be his choice (TO THE VICTOR GOES THE SPOILS)

Please, Hillary, think of the greater good!

We need to turn around the Republican regime that has destroyed the country your husband helped! The surplus he created is gone (and then some), costs are increasing, and we are at war.

We need to turn this around and defeat the business-as-usual Republicans in the fall. I ask you to please, please, please encourage your voters to NOT vote for McCain just because things didn't go your way.

It's time for you to take an honest look at the reality of your situation, step down with dignity, and unite the Democratic party. This country (and the country of my future children) needs a democratic victory in November.

I'm sure there is a place for you in the administration, but because of your actions and attitudes, VP is not it.

Democrats Unite!

In a way I think this kind of helps Obama say no to her as VP.

The overt pressure means taking her on the ticket makes him look weak and undermines his candidacy.

Also who can blame Obama for wondering exactly what Bill would be doing for four years while Hillary was waiting for her opportunity to succeed him.

No to Clinton as VP. I do have a question for Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain. What will that prove, how you all are sore losers.

These people don't know when it quit. Of course he's acting on the Clinton's behalf if they are such good buddies. Lanny Davis has been one of the biggest critics of Barack Obama through this whole campaign with his condescension of the candidate.

Until Hillary Clinton concedes to Obama, I wouldn't give any of these people, or their ideas, a second thought.

I don't think he should choose her for VP. She carries way too much excessive baggage and is a polarizing/divisive figure that'll bring Republicans out to vote for McCain just so they can vote against her, even as VP. It's mainly in the Democratic realm that she's a darling of some people, but after the primaries, I think that number is even less… like my respect for Hillary Clinton has been greatly reduced because of the manner in which she and her surrogates waged this campaign.

Lets see… pledged delegates don't need to vote the way that the people of their states voted i.e. peoples votes shouldn't count…. lets count Michigan's vote exactly as is, no one voted for Obama so therefore he should get no pledged delegates from that state, ignoring the fact that he wasn't on the ballot because the DNC asked candidates to remove themselves from the ballot and the Clinton campaign stresses so much about not wanting to "disenfranchise" voters in that state, although with what they were asking, that was exactly what they were doing. A true lack of integrity… And even look now, Obama has gotten the commitment of enough delegates (and then some) to clinch the nomination, yet she has not conceded… as if until the convention, when they officially make the nomination, she will not accept it…

Obama should definelty NOT pick Hillary as VP. She is divisive and literally dispised by millions. Bill would be part and parcel of that situation of course – not good for Obama or for the country. Obama would have to "watch his back" every moment. Ask Vince Foster!

Florida

now its a must to give her v.p position? theres a way to go about things either nicely or by force. she wants this by force and i would lose an immense amount of respect for obama if he agrees without her deffering to him as the choice of the people of the democratic party. does she think she can force a co-presidency? maybe it was like that with bill, but obamas bed is already being shared. its simple decency, if you want an something from someone you say please!! not try and bully someone. YES your a strong candidate. YES you can make it hard for democrats to win. but who are you doing this for? the poeple have chosen, yea you lost by so little yes you were treated badly, yes to all the issues and causes of you not winning the nomination. heal the party, for your 18 million voters for thier childrens, for getting us out of this bleak future. men i'm tired of this

No VP for Hillary. It brings the same old guard back into play after the way she went after him. Sorry….bye bye….Hillary…we got your back Barack.

So no Presdient or VP spot for Hillary….will divorce be far behind for Bill because he did not get her into the WH. BETTING ODDS ARE Starting at 1-1

If Hillary is not on the ticket I will not vote in November, AT ALL.

Its one thing to state an opinion or desire – in this case Davis wants Clinton to be the VP nominee… Its another thing entirely, however, to state your opinion/desire in a DIVISIVE manner. Davis, and Clinton for that matter, have chosen to do this in as Divisive and manipulative a manner as possible. SHE LOST – YOU CAN NOT FORCE HIS HAND. To do so is not only divisive, but reckless and dangerous to the democratic party.

If Barack Obama needs Hillary Clinton to win him the WH he shouldn't run for it. I am not voting for a VP. I will be voting for a President.

Dude, give it up. It's over.

Clinton has disqualified herself for VP by the arrogance and she's shown toward Obama.

No way!!

How dare anyone demand anything from Obama-THE NOMINEE, Clinton did everything to try and destroy him for the sake of a self serving issue. Obama owes her nothing. HE WON. If you don't vote for Obama becuase Clinton lost then you don't have a right to complain about anything in the next 4-8years. Period.

Obama '08

IS THIS GUY FOR REAL???? DOES BILL KNOW YOUR SO IN LOVE WITH HIS WIFE??? I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE SO GO SO CRAZY CAUSE HIS " HERO" LOST. HE WAS YELLING AT DNC MEMBERS SAT FOR THEM BEING UNFAIR AND NOW HE IS INSISTING ON CLINTON AS VP??? YOUR A TOOL LENNY!!!!!

NO to VP position!

Take this to the Convention!

IF NOT HILLARY=== JOHN McCAIN/MEG WHITMAN '08

I do not know if I want Hillary to run with Obama. She has more to lose than gain. Obama has everything to lose if Clinton does not agree to run with him.

Lamest thing ever, not fair at all to make someone choose the vice president you want.

This is bunk.

Forget VP, Hillary for SUPREME COURT JUSTICE!!!!!

This dude Davis is a freakin nut job.

This is getting out of control. A website urging people to make Hillary the VP choice??? I'm getting really tired of this. Let Sen. Obama pick who wants. Hillary Clinton is NOT the only qualified person to be the VP, there are others. I'm interested in hearing about the other VP candiates.

go set down.. No president nominee should be forced into there choice not yours ..and for us that voted for MR. OBAMA ..we TRUST his judgment not yours …Case in point OBAMA supporters are concerned especially after watching CLINTON supporters this sat. What wiould it take to make her president ??????????Theres enough racial hate in our country MR. OBAMA has to overcome and will overcome .Our country is in a transition . People are going to have to look at there heart . You cant hide tthe fact it comes out every time people open your mouth. who have continued on in the practice that white is better than other colors.Were all equals all children of GOD ..MR. OBAMA will do what sbest for america lets see if HILARY will be able to claim the same ..I fall in her voting group as a white 54 women who is voting OBAMA…GOD BLESS AMERICA and what HES about to do with all people of all nations

Lanny needs to crawl back under the Clintons front porch with this nonsense, he looked totally shocked when all the Cnn folks questioned Hillary's behavior last night and he was very shocked when his petition was mentioned. How can anyone say this woman is good for the ticket.
In the words of Nancy Reagan

JUST SAY NO!

One question, why should we take Hillary as VP when she can't even admit defeat?

She's a spoiled loser.

I am truly disappointed in Hillary Clinton. Her speech last night was a slap in the face to Sen. Obama and the Democratic Party. Her speech last night was neither about me nor the American people. Her speech last night was all about Hillary. It proved that it is true what the media has been saying for months, the Clintons would do anything to Win. Now she has the audacity to demand the VP position. I just watched the APIC conference and once again I was degusted with Ms. Clinton. I am truly ashamed.
I WOULD NOT TURST HER. NO VP………. NO WAY!!!!!!

Actually, why can't we have Ickes or McAuliffe as VP? That would be just about as appropriate as asking Sen Clinton.

I'm sure we don't have enough anti-venom in stock for that ticket.

Why don’t they just stop and give him space? This is a sure way to make him look bad as this leaves only two scenarios.
1. He picks her and looks weak- even if he wanted her.
2. He doesn’t pick her which will further anger folks.
I cant believe they haven’t thought that far or are they really working to make him lose?

NO…………………………….

Sign me up! Of course I can't seem to get to the website right now because it's being bombarded by people trying to get onto it or some Obama hackers are being hateful as usual.

this is ridiculous! no one can force or threat obama to make hillary his VP. and there's no way she'll be on the ticket so they need to give it up!

Why don't these people understand? You keep try to force clinton as vp in the public he will have no choice but to reject. That will be the only way he can show he is a strong leader who will not bend to old washington. But if you have these discussions behind doors with party leaders and clinton surrogates, a proper way can be found to make this happen.

What a mistake if she is on the ticket. McCain will get my vote.

It is one of our party's most cherished values, and it will continue under the next Democratic PRESIDENT. I know Senator Obama understands what is at stake here. It has been an honor to contest these primaries with him.
It is an honor to call him my friend, and let me be very clear, I know that Sen. Obama will be a good friend to Israel.”

Hillary Clinton Today at AIPAC

Yes we can Unite (Obama '08)/ VP_________________?

Obama will win the presidential election come November by a 68% and McCain 33.5%.
That is the official result and he may stand a high chance to run again if he put Hillary on his ticket for november.

Give it a rest. What nerve to try to force Senator Obama into who he should have as vice-president. You lost, face the facts, give it up, go home, if he decides to choose you, he will.

I don't think she would be good for Barack in the white house with Bill Clinton lurking. She has too much baggage to bring with her. He would not be able to trust her as long as she carries that chip on her shoulder that she should have been the nominee and not him. Hilary is all for her self. That was evident on last evening when she could not congradulate him for making history. I say no to Clinton being veepe.

Barack,
Don't even think about her! She will stab you in the back first chance she gets. see what she's done ot the Party?
How about John Baldacci of Maine!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER another Clinton again!

The queen needs to ADMIT OBAMA HAS WON before he can offer her anything. Hillary is on thin ice.

The name of the Petition URL is pretty ironic, considering the type of campaign Hillary ran.

I'm sorry, I respect Senator Clinton, her campaign, and her supporters. However, she should not muscle her way into the VP spot. It is rightfully Obama's choice and should not be influenced by all of her supporters impressing upon him the fear of loss without her on the ticket. She is using her supporters as pawns, but of course they're ok with that because she's Hillary Clinton, the God send!
She should be ashamed. Let him make the choice HE wants to make.

No, It is not Obama's duty to make her V.P. If she would have won he would not have made her put him on the ticket. This is a sad day in America when Hillary will not admit defeat and do whats best in the interest of her country. Strong arming the V.P spot makes her look desperate.

He will choose his own V.P and due to her terrible displays lately it should not be Hillary.

Does this petition also have a solution as to what they will do with Bill. Tell me what he will be doing besides trying to move into the Oval office again.

I understand being loyal to your God, Family, Job and your Country.
All of these areas provide a benefit to you well being.

How can Clinton as VP or any other office fit into this is my question?
Last nigth, I find it insulting that she did not think if was rigth to step aside. If any kids today would have gave a speech like hers after legally losing a contest! We would call that kid a sore loser and went after his parents for raising a brat.

But Hillary Clinton is not a child! She should not be allow to represent women anywhere after display this kind of behaviour.

Bad Idea!

Davis – you are a lunatic and Idiot.You should be admitted to rehab.Looks like you have lost it all.Do you have anything inside this thing called your "head" ??? Let Obama pick his VP.He has come this far playing by the rules and with his wisdom.I have faith in his decision making and so do the millions of people who support him not just here in the US, but worldwide.

Hillary should NOT be on the ticket. Her husband brings too much drama and she is selfish and calculating. Why is it that the White House congratulates Obama on clinching the nomination but Hillary Clinton did not? Her vague, defiant speech made it seem as if Obama was an also ran. Meanwhile Obama congratulated her in a very gracious and respectful manner.

Hillary for VP under Obama – someone must be kidding. At best he'd have this force constantly pursuing its own agenda, at worst he'd find a knife in his back – figuratively and maybe even literally.

There are more than 18 millions people did not vote for Sen. Obama. This is sad and will hurt in November if Sen. Hillary is not on joint ticket.

President Obama has the right, and deserves to choose his own running mate. She represents the polar opposite of his CHANGE message. If he succumbs to this attempted blackmail, he will lose more voters than he will gain as the polls show the majority of Americans don't like her, don't trust her, they didn't want her for President, nor do they want her as Vice-President, just one heartbeat away from Obama.

The most nasty person on TV. All this group looks suspicious. Don't do this, Barack! You have enough problems without that one.

It's a conspiracy, when is everyone going to leave this alone.
Why should Obama be denied his choice of Vice President.
Hillary needs to go home. We are sick of this. She couldn't even bow out gracefully. Maybe all of you who want Hillary, should form your own party. The American People have spoken.
We are trying to get rid of the Bush Era, but you so called 'tell Obama' Democrates what to do, are the ones who helped get us into this mess in the first place.

The Clinton campaign is trying to use duress to get Mrs. Clinton in the White House. Senator Obama should be under no obligation to choose Senator Clinton as his running mate. This would negate the theme of his campaign message – CHANGE. The Clintons would represent more of the same. She could certainly serve the Party in other portfolios and should be considered thus. I believe that if Senator Obama chooses her, between Bill and Hillary they would try to undermine his authority. She seem to be quite bitter and resentful about him 'stealing her thunder', 'raining on her parade'.

Referring to, "Your selection of a vice presidential candidate may make the difference between victory and defeat." Why is everything a threat when the Clintons are involved? Do you really think that a bully would make a good running mate?

OBAMA should be allowed to PICK his running mate himself like all the other Presidents before him NOT STRONG ARMED!!

TRhe folks should have run for the presidential's spot and then make the decision of choosing Hillary as their VP after winning the nomination.

Where in hell do these people got their audacity to pressure Obama? Hillary can help as she promised which I dont' trust without being the VP.

Obama should not take that woman as VP.

Never gonna happen.

They are doing more damage than good. If he chooses her, he will look weak under pressure and look like a push over.

Seems like people are forgetting that OBAMA is now the leader of this party and they are trying to force him to do something in their favor…..when THEY lost.

THEY lost. Not him.

Typical Clinton

Senator Clinton as VP, I don't think so! She is too dirty, selfish, head strong, there is no way she will cooperate with Obama. She want to have everything her way at all cost. Obama needs to watch his back.

DAVIS MAY BE HURTING HER CHANCES BECAUSE OBAMA CANNOT BE SEEN AS GIVING IN TO A DEMAND TO HAVE HER IN HIS CAMP. SOUNDS LIKE HE MAY BE UNDERMINDING HER EFFORTS IF HE IS NOT ACTING ON HER BEHALF. BESIDES OBAMA WOULD HAVE TO WATCH CLINTON JUST TO KEEP HER FROM TIEING HIS SHOE LACES TOGETHER JUST TO MAKE HIM FALL.

Just read the posts in these blogs…devisive. There is no middle ground. This is EXACTLY what is wrong with politics today. A VP cannot be chosen in this way with the expectation of winning in the Fall. A VP needs to bring something to the table that the Presidental candidate lacks. Obama needs to beef up experience in foreign policy and military matters. The best Hillary can offer here is "dodging non-existent bullets" while she landed in (was it Serbia?). Please. If Hillary's followers are willing to cut off their nose in spite of themself, let them…they will not help win the cross-over states anyway. It is time for a new type of politics…one where people work together…not against each other.

no hillary, nonooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lanny, is true that you and that goofball Bob Johnson recognize the fact that Hilliary will not and can not be the next President of the United States? If so, before trying to pressure Barack into accepting this ungracious woman as his VP, you should start by having her acknowledge the fact that she lost and Barack won!!! Just for starters.

Lanny Davis needs to back away from the democratic campaign and never show his face again. He is hurting the party as much as Hillary did, if not more so. He also needs to come out and admit that he has a secret crush on Hillary.

i am really tired of this the DNC should really step in ITS OVER! HILLARY get over it be a Team Player and help the Dem Party get back into the WHITE HOUSE! you are making a DIsgrace out of everything you represented!!

Enough!!! Its time to bring the party together. The woman cant even accept that its over or congratulate him and she want to be his V.P. !She's got to be out of her mind. There is obviously too much ego for the THREE of them to be in a white house, and seriously no one energizes the Republican base Hillary. There are Obamicans, not Hillicans!

Obama needs a VP who will help him win the general election. Many would vote against the ticket if Hillary were on it, and we haven't even see what the Republicans would come up with on the Clintons. Obama did not run a negative campaign so Hillary really was not attacked. but we can be sure that McCain and buddies would dig to find everything and use the results in a general.

finally a practical and structured attempt to unite two of the greatest politicians the democratic party has ever seen

I must say Lanny impressed me last night. He was not as bulldoggish and more gracious towards Obama than I expected.

HOWEVER, perhaps if he makes it more clear that he and his fellow Clinton supporters will work just as hard for Obama as they did for Clinton, it will help mend the fences–REGARDLESS IF OBAMA PICKS Hillary or not.

We, Obama supporters, need Clinton supporters to acknowledge Obama is the best candidate because he won.

Obama needs to receive the respect as the nominee who has EARNED the nomination.

Clinton is not and was not the best against McCain. If she couldn't beat Obama, how could she beat McCain? duh!!

Her loss is unfortunate, but it is now time for UNITY!!!!

Quit pressuring the guy! It's not only about winning you know… it's about who is best for the American people…

You think Hillary is "ENTITLED" to the VP spot, don't you?

This is exactly why she CAN NOT be offerred the vice presidential position.

i think (and this is huge for ME)… that i would rather see McCain win than to have a person on the ticket who used every single dirty trick in her book to bring down her opponent. THUS DIVIDING THE PARTY TO THE POINT WHERE IT CAN BARELY BE RECONCILED….

and now… is running a stinking power broker campaign for the vice presidency… un freaking believable!

Hillary Clinton is taking her sweet time to concede, and Barack Obama should take his sweet time to pick a VP. He has plenty of time to decide who he would like as his running mate and I doubt very much that shoving Hillary down his throat will make him choose any quicker. If I had to guess, I would say her defiant speech last night might have made him less likely to choose her. But as I said, just a guess.

Wouldn’t Hillary be better suited for a different position anyway? Why would she want to be VP?

no thanks, no more cfr, illuminati's on the ticket. sorry, but the bilderberg's are deciding who the VP's will be this week in their secretive meeting in Chantilly, VA this week.

Senator Obama:

Having Senator Clinton as the VP will not be in the best interest of the party or the country. I have observed her to exhibit a dividing spirit. She has consistently injected race and gender into this election process. She does not appear to have the Senator Obama's, the party, or the country best interest at heart.

I believe she will do most anything to get back in the white house. Change with the senator will not be CHANGE. America has had enough of the Clintons. I fear for Senator Obama with her on the ticket. Please don't go there!
God bless, keep you strong, safe, wise, and out of harms way.

It is my sincere hope that Obama will not be blackmailed into placing Clinton in the VP slot. If after many meetings, polls, etc. it is determined that her positives will truly outweigh her negatives and insure a victory in November, vs. the other extremely qualified candidates out there, so be it. Obama is, if nothing else, a realist. The main problem is Hillary HAS to comply with Obama's vision of change, has methods, not the Clintonian/Old DC way of getting things done. I doubt she is capable of playing second fiddle. A Cabinet post would be a more effective use of her skills.

NO WAY!! The arrogance of Hillary Clinton campaigne is beyond insulting. I know Obama is smarter than that!!

This petition drive is such a disgrace to the democratic process, and such a show of disrespect to Obama on the day of his victory. As much as people will not want to say it, this is a racial issue. You would not see this level of disrepect were Obama not an African American, and there would be such a backlash against Obama if he (or his supporters) were doing what Clinton's supporters are doing. You an deny it all you want, but the truth is the truth. These people disgust me. Bottomline, HRC is not fit to lead this country in any capacity. She was just the WRONG woman for the job.

puh-leeeeese,

Obama please don't give in to the pressure to select Hillary as your VP. If she truly cares about not only the Democratic party but this country she will work diligently to unite the party even if she is not on the ticket.

DEMOCRATS UNTED FOR OBAMA 08

NO to Clinton. Obama is very capable of making his own choice. He has done a great job so far and I am sure he will make a smart choice.

Thanks Lanny Davis.

Its not about Obama and Hillary. Now we have to think about American people. If Hillary is not on the ticket we will loose the White house. We do not want another 4 years of Republican Administration. We want a democrat in white house period. The one and only way it can happen is both of them being on the ticket. If there is a third person on ticket its 100% we will loose the white house for Republicans.

We American people want democrats to take the white house. We need this badly. I wish, hope and pary this dream ticket will happen. This is the only ticket by which saves the American people and ensure the white house.

Thanks a Bunch Lanny Davis!! We are counting on you!!!

Crazy. Personally if Hillary is on the ticket, I will not be voting this year. I just have that much against her that it will over-ride my desire to see Obama as President. For her to continue to split the democratic party, clearly demonstrating her "me vs. we" and her larger than life arrogance, I just can't see rewarding that with being the running mate. Don't do it Obama!

Campaigning for the VP spot is a new low, even for Hillary.

umm….no.

Maybe a cabinet post or SC justice VP never

oh for chrissakes. so tired of this guy.

Give it up!!!! This has the ring of someone who is desperate. That they need to push, force, bully, cajole their way onto the ticket. I am sorry – the choice for a VP is left to the Presidential Nominee – they need someone they can trust and work with, someone who shares their vision and ideas. If it is HRC, then Obama will chose her, if not, then he will chose someone else. Stop the petty politics and let the man lead the Party.

Hillary is old style politics at it's worst. Deceptions, cronyism, back-stabbing, numbers manipulation, false promises, ad nauseum. Barrack doesn't need her, or her loose cannon husband on his ticket.
Governor Bill Richardson would be a much better partner.

Fifty year old college educated white Texan for Obama.

Mr. Davis, please stay away from our President Barack Obama, He does not need you to tell him who he needs as a VP. He will make that choice by himself. We all trust his judgement and who ever he decides to pick, we will all support and respect his decision. Congratulations again Mr. President for your big win yesterday. we are all proud of you and believe that you are the right candidate who can bring our country together.

You know this attempt to "hijack" the VP position and her behaviour last night only goes to show that Father Pleger was 100% correct about her.

I'm sure Senator Obama will seriously consider Hillary as VP as soon as she comes down from her high horse, and stops proclaiming to be the "real people's choice." She got her butt whooped. She needs to get over it. She can help the Democrats (and the country) if she truly wishes to. Her feelings are bruised, and she may be looking for vengence and retribution on those she considers "traiters," that did not support her. Hillary is at a political cross-roads — – what she does/says over the next day or two will probably define her in American political history.

send lanny home please

Lanny Davis is an idiot and everyone knows it.

As a white senior female I did NOT vote for Hilary Clinton. I realize that I am in the demographic that is reputed to be enamored of her. I would love to vote for a female candidate. I will not vote for her or anyone whose sense of entitlement leads them to lie blatantly (sniper fire in Bosnia) or claim that the rules should not apply if they do not yield the results she desires. (Florida and Michigan votes).

Lanny Davis – go away! Please, for heaven's sake – go the heck away!

What a bunch of sore, ungracious, rabid losers. Not one bit of dignity in them.

Contrast this with Gore, who had a LOT more at stake and who made such a gracious speech when he finally knew that he had lost.

I just don't understand. On the one hand, Hillary Clinton has not conceded but at the same time she is having her supporters push for her to be on the ticket. Perhaps she should first concede then try to work together with the Obama team.

I am so disappointed in her. She has conducted herself like a desparate woman. If she really wants to unite the party she would not have made the speech she did last night. She wants to add fuel to the fire.

Hillary should not tie herself to that Obama creep. She should either run as an Independent or run in 2012 after we're all sick of President McCain.

IDIOT! Tactics like this divide the party! Force feeding any nominee a VP is going to lead to more divisiveness. Besides, she's not even conceded….!

Mr. Davis has no right to ask Senator Obama anything. Furthermore, if these people want Clinton on the ticket they should through their hats into the ring behind him. What kind of mess is this? Bring her on or else you will lose in November. These people are ridiculous. All of them are looking for a job.

I don't think it's apprpriate for partisan players like Lani Davis to essentially threaten to campaign against a Presidential Candidate if they don't get their way. Hillary needs to go through a rigorous vetting process just like any other candidate to make sure that her husband's questionable business dealings could not put our country at risk.

No matter how Lanny Davis describes his petition, I still smell a strong threaten here.

Obama can not win without Hill….

but Hillary can still win in NOV without Obama- in a write in campaign.

Is there a spray that would be effective against this ilk?

The claim that Hillary has 18 million supporters at her beck and call is just bogus. If this were Italy, we could talk of a coalition. But this is America where the winner, by even a vote gets all.
OBAMA SHOULD NEVER PICK CLINTON AS HIS RUNNING MATE. IF CLINTON WANTS TO INSTRUCT HER SO CALLED 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN, SO BE IT. IF THIS WERE SOME THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WITH NO RULE OF LAW, THE CLINTON'S WOULD HAVE ALREADY STAGED A COUP D'ETAT TO USURP THE PRESIDENCY BY FORCE.

I dont think anybody should put pressure on Barack Obama for selecting Mrs Clinton for the Vf.
She lost and she must gracefully accept it

are we sick of these threats yet?

To hell with that – she lost and is a looser! Enough!

And I urge him to NOT pick Clinton as his VP. She is the politics of old, and it's time for a change.

Please Barack, don't give into the blackmail (she'd call it leverage) of her refusing to accept reality and step down with dignity in order to force you to choose her. She does not match your message of hope.

If her followers are so dead set on a woman with no regard to anything else, how about someone eminently qualified and with out all that negativity and baggage? How about Sebelius?

she has not even conceded how can she be considerred… from the campaign she has run she does not desserve veep. there are other qualified people who are humble that can be veep.

"The Top Ten List of Undisputed Facts Showing Barack Obama's Weaknesses in the General Election Against John McCain."

Wow. The Republicans will have so much ammo from the Democratic primaries if Obama chooses Clinton as is running mate. Not a smart choice.

No Petition of yours or anyone will convince Barack Obama to put her on the ticket!! BARACK OBAMA NOW RULES THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!! The Clinton dynasty is over — done — finished!! IT IS NOW TIME TO MOVE FORWARD WITH BARACK OBAMA!!

Davis is an extremely bias Jerk, who doesn't know the meaning of honest advice. He was one of the worse unfair & negative people who continually was on the attack in regards to Obama…an he was wrong 100% of the time.
Read my lips…let Obama make his own choice of a VP running mate.
ANYONE BUT CLINTON!

Lanny Davis – please go away! Please take Bill and Hill with you. She is like a person that has been fired from her job, milling around outside the office hoping to talk someone into hiring her back. Give Barack his moment. Please, please get lost.

This guy is sick…

booo let obama lead he will make the right decision he will decide how and when hillary can help her country

Come on, people! It's Barack's decision who gets the slot. Forcing her way into being VP shows such utter desperation on Hillary and her followers' parts. This is unprecedented — nobody else has ever campaigned and made petitions for someone to get VP. That's not how it works and she is trying to set him up so if he doesn't offer it to her, he'll look bad. She lost, fair and square, and Obama does not have to extend her this courtesy, which in my opinion, would ruin his image and message of change and a new Washington. Hillary would make a great Supreme Court justice. Or she should keep working on healthcare in the senate. But she is not entitled to another position in the White House. Barack gets to make that call and no one else.

I love how there isn't a single person from the Obama campaign in these two groups (that I've heard of, anyway). If it's just Hillary supporters looking for some way to get their girl into the white house, I would say there's a just a TAD of conflict of interest and I'd be inclined to say they don't have the nation's best interest at heart, just their campaign.

It has always been the prerogative of the Nominee select to pick his/her own vice presidential candidate. Now the Clinton supporters are proposing to force Senator Obama to take Hillary as his vice presidential running mate. Does she have no respect left at all? While I initially supported her, I now believe that it would be a great mistake for Obama to pick her as his running mate. It would be a continuous power struggle during his presidency, and one worth avoiding.

I feel that choosing Clinton as a running mate would be a grave mistake on Obama' s part. Hillary is way too strong to take a back seat to him and I feel that she would undermine him every chance that she gets. A president and a VP must work closely together and I haven't seen that willingness on Clinton's part, Obama's, yes, but not Clinton's. There are much better choices out there for his running mate. I hope that he doesn't succumb to the pressure. Obama 2008!

This is a joke….right?

No Billary!!!

Obama/Richardson '08

Hillary should run as an independent and should never except to be VP. The Obamas hate the Cilntons. After 20 years of hate messages from trinity their hearts are full of it. Wait till you all see Michelle Obama ranting about Bill Clinton in June of 2004. She basically blames white people for all the suffering in the world. It's a shocker!! Bye bye white house. Vote to draft Hillary as an independent, that's real change.

Barack doesn't need her and she doesn't deserve it until she accepts his nomination. She's trying to blackmail him but he needs to stand his ground and make the Clintons squirm.

Personally, I think he's better off without her. There are many more qualified people out there. Try Wes Clark or John Edwards. Don't pick a sitting Senator, especially from a battleground state.

Barack may decide to unite the Democrats. But what about Independents and Republicans? He's taking an unnecessary risk.

I sure wish that CNN would stop serving as the Clinton megaphone – now pressuring Senator Obama to add her to the ticket. The Obama campaign will spend time vetting all qualified vice-presidential candidates. Senator Obama has become the Democratic nominee for President after 17 months of enduring Clinton machine manipulations. Let's give him a break, respecting his right to manage his campaign as he sees fit.

Lanny you are not a democrat and you don't care about this country you are thinking about yourself. You guys didn't know how brilliant Obama was did you? Let him make this decision not you. Go and be productive for the country write a petition to someone to help the poor people of our country. Go and do something positive you are doing more harm to our party by doing this you are still deviding our party rather than uniting. She lost except it!!!

Why can't she offer her support gracefully last night?
Why does she tapping the VP position through other idiots?

JUST QUIT NOW!!!
I DON'T WANT YOU ON ANY TICKET, WHAT SO EVER!!!
GOT IT?

Is this Hillary's way to the Presidency?

Is she and her supporters (especially those trying to force Obama to take her) hoping that the disaster Hillary kept referring to happening to Obama will happen while she's VP and THEN she could be president.

I'm positive Obama is not going to be forced to do anything!

I am against Hillary as VP for 2 reasons

1.) Her failure to congratulate Obama last night on his historic achievement diminshed the power of Obama's moment. She is a narcisist.

2.) I dont want to see anymore sniveling Lanny Davis

Again this is ridiculous. If Clinton would've won would any of you hounded her to choose Obama as a running mate??? No you probably say choose Bill. Look he won without her he can continue and beat McCain who is less of an opponent than she is.

Reality Check!!

HILLARY SEND ANOTHER TO DO WHAT SHE WON'T.

HEY HILLARY DON'T YOU HAVE BARACK'S NUMBER…CALL HIM. I'M SURE HE WILL ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS AS TO WHY YOU WILL NOT BE ON THE TICKET WITH HIM.

FIRST BEING YOUR BEHAVIOR IN THIS PRIMARY
SECOND YOUR HUSBAND
THIRD YOUR ILL MINDED SUPPORTERS

GOOD BYE AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR RE-ELECTION TO THE SENATE.

Before VP consideration can ever begin, Hillary Clinton needs to bow out graciously which she still has not done. Obama should not be pressured to have her on the ticket, especially since she refused to even acknowledge that he won last night. It is a dissapointment that she did not take the opportunity last night to begin to unite the party and to acknowledge the historical moment of the first african- american presidental nominee. Her failure to do this is an insult! It appears she is putting herself above the party which does not make a good VP selection!

No NO and one thousand times NO! This woman should not be rammed down people's throats.

OMG!!!
These folks will do anything to undermine Obama chances to win this election!!! He is on a platform of CHANGE!!! Putting HRC on the ticket basically says his campaign was a lie and will make John McCain the winner in November!!

So, stop trying to pressure him to take her on his ticket!!!
Also, HRC should come out quit this race and stop being so darn selfish!!
Lady you lost so, woman up and do the right thing quit and support OBAMA to unify the party that you have basically destroyed with your divisive tactics!!!

The Republican haven't even selected their VP so, don't you think it wise to wait and see who they are going to choose!! JEEZ!!!

Only if she could leave M. Williams & Bill behind.

Will somebodplease tell her that she lost. She really did.

Her perseverance is selfish and IT is the reason for the split in the democratic party.

But Lanny, I thought that he was "unelectable"? I guess after that
brilliant AIPEC address this morning, everyone realizes just who needs
who. And that would be that Hillary needs Senator Obama.

Obama 08.

This is ridiculous. Folks like him want to keep insulting Barack Obama, and then hold a gun in his head to do what they want. Let him have the same honor every other nominee has had: take some time and decide who to run with without others trying to force your hand. Never before have I seen someone who loses act like this. This is one reason why I do not think Obama should have Clinton on the ticket. She is going to try to overshadow him in her desire to have the number one spot, and it will cause nothing but problems. I also do not trust her in the number two with this kind of behavior coupled with her words suggesting she is waiting for Obama to be killed.

Get this Clinton tool out of here. I mean everyone tells Obama to give Clinton time and space and then this jerk tries to force Obama to take her on as his VP candidate. At one time, I thought that may have been a good idea but now I think it would be a BIG mistake.

Obama should pick ANOTHER person as VP IMMEDIATELY, or at least AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, so that the furor can die down about Hillary and she can FINALLY go off and sulk in private.

He should absolutely not pick her, she tried to bring him down.

Obama will win without HC on the ticket. Would she want people telling her what to do if she had won the nomination? I am a woman and am very disappointed in her denial and manipulations of last nights speech and her tactics. She does not represent me as a woman.

If HRC is on the ticket, I know of many who will vote for McCain. Obama should not be pressured into choosing a running mate. Clinton has said and done too many things during this primary and most people do not believe she will be supportive of Obama.

Obama and no Clinton, or MCCain.

Clinton, go away!

All this pushing by the Clinton camp is not helping their situation.

Do not force Obama to put her on the ticket. It is his choice and his choice ONLY.

Get a life Lanny, You are ridiculous. You are not going to strong arm Sen. Obama. This is his decision

I am an American dreamer. This country is the greatest in the world. We have begun to lead the path to a new era. This is the first time in our history that a biracial candidate and a women have fought for the Presidential Nominee and end up in position 1 and 2. This is a great triumph for America. Today we fight each other as rivals in the Obama and Clinton Camp, but tomorrow we have to look at the big picture and realize we are fight on the same side. We have let things get too personal, let the spin and rhetoric divide us. The fact that either of the candidates have made it this far says great things about this country and paves the way for other to live this American Dream. We need each other, we need to think about the Americans as a whole. We have to think about the Supreme Court; we need to think about the economy, we need to think about jobs; we need to think about education. Of course we are happy our candidate won or pissed that our candidate lost. But today not tomorrow America needs us. Coming from a family that fights and bickers, we have to get over it and we have family interest before our own. If we start doing this our candidate will have to follow. We are the people we have the voice. The Clinton-Obama or vice versa Camp now needs to the Democratic Camps. We have unite to win in the fall, independently we will fail. Together we can advance the American Dream.

Not gonna happen. He is not going to pick her. He shouldn't pick her.

I hope Obama does not listen to these Hilary supporters who all this time did what ever they could to destroy Obama's chance of becoming the nominee. If Obama chooses Hilary as his running mate, Hilary might make him loose the election so that she can run in 2012. Another reason not to choose her is because he is running on a campaign of change and by choosing her Obama will loose the right to say he is fighting for change in Washington. Hope Obama's team does not make a fatal mistake now.

I do not support Clinton as a VP choice for Obama! He's gotten this far, he should be able to pick his own VP without any pressure from anyone.

Obama's campaign has been about change, I hope he keeps true to this and chooses someone else.

OBAMA '08!

Leny Davis, Bob Johson, Ed, etc. all have treid to diminish Barak and now they want to force him to take on Hill the Bosnian General as VP, that is really ridiculous. Obama has his supporters and one of them will be the VP to ensure victory in November against McSame. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

What is it with these people, which part of no don't they understand, the N or the O. They are really making me sick. I am so tired of seeing them on television.

This is the only way he will win in November.

Obama/Clinton 08

Let it go Clintons!

I Love the Clintons! They are the best.

It seems like 18 million supporters feel the same way. I am old enough to remember the state of America when they were in office. Most blogs are a bunch of ‘kids” blogging as if they are voting for "American Idol" They have no idea what's going on.

For anyone to even suggest that the Clintons aren't the best to straighten this country out shows their ignorance. The older generation knows what's going on.

This was the worst media coverage I have ever seen in a primary election.

The hateful remarks on TV and radio about President Clinton, Senator Clinton and Chelsea were outrageous. I have never seen such cruel remarks on blogs either.

The worst of the coverage was when the media was accusing President Clinton to be a racist. It is a sad America, to hear that from anyone in the media.

President Clinton didn’t deserve it. He could have had his office on Fifth Avenue overlooking Central Park but chose to be in in Harlem NY to keep fighting for their rights.

President Clinton so loved the poor and the oppressed African Americans. He has fought his whole life along with Senator Clinton to have their voices heard. For any black American to bad mouth President Clinton for that reason alone, is a disgrace.

I am saddened by the Democratic Party, I have felt the pain of the Clinton family as they have had to endure the spin of the media and vicious remarks of Senator Obama’s pastor’s hateful remarks about them.

I myself have decided to leave the party since they didn’t stand up for Michigan and Florida voters. That is the only reason that Obama won the nomination.

I am hoping Senator Clinton would continue fighting for
these “silenced” Americans regardless of the outcome.

Personally, if I were Senator Clinton, I would fight to the end and then leave the party altogether.
