I have one question: how come the "VoteBoth.com" website is only affiliated with pro-Clinton supporters?

This seems like a last-ditch ploy by the Clinton campaign to not accept their loss. (Don't try to tell me this is an independent group, it is obviously not.)

This is the very reason that party unity ranks low right now, but as soon as this issue is behind us (because Hillary accepts her defeat), the party will begin to mend itself under Barack and we will all be fine.

Obama is a democrat. McCain is a conservative. 'Nuff Said.

when will they understand the math? and when will they accept that's not going to work to put Hill in vp for Obama? Let's Obama committee work this out. Please, Hill and her camp don't blackmail or force Obama no more.

Clinton should be considered but ONLY if she agrees to open up the records on (a) the contributions to the Clinton library and the Clinton foundation, (b) the speaking engagements of Bill Clinton during the past 8 years, and (c) the business dealings of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Let's see how good she looks then.

Lanny Davis, please stay out of this. Obama is a grow-up and do not need your advice. He will pick who ever he trusts and feels comfortable with. This is none of your business Lanny.

If so who will pick up the 3:00AM red phone?

There are just some ads or attacks that you cannot air dfuring the primary if you want to be in the ticket.

Let face the true: Obama/Clinton ticket will NOT work.

As inappropriate and ungracious as Hillary was in her speech on the night that Obama secured the Democratic nomination……so is Lanny Davis. There is a formal process to apply for the VP slot and Hillary should follow the rules…….not Hillary's rules…….but the DNC rules. Some of Hillary's supporters were also informed that any formal correspondence in support and/or political muscling to bear pressure on Obama to consider Hillary for the VP slot was also inappropriate….but it is individuals like Lanny Davis who are in denial. Obama will make his choice when the time requires it. I believe that Hillary is reserved to the fact her running as VP on the Obama ticket is highly unlikely……and likely…..so should her advisors. Adding more salt in the wound will gain nothing for Hillary…eithier politically or personally. Lanny…….let it go. Americans have had enough.

This is a joke..right?
Just say NO!!

Hillary would be more attractive if it wasn't for her group of Misfit surrogates.

Bill Clinton: Will someone give him his meds? He sees more conspiracies than Mel Gibson (Conspiracy theory) and Russell Crowe (A beautiful Mind) combined.

Wolfson: Looks like Woogie from "Something about Mary"

Lanny Davis : I think he wants Hillary all to himself I wouldn't be surprised if he was her boyfriend

Stephanie Tubbs Jones: Could she put anymore lips Gloss on her lips, they put a glare on my TV screen.

Lisa Caputo: The least annoying of the bunch, but maybe the biggest Liar

Bob Johnson: Steve Urkel of the Clinton Family

Harold Ickes: His last name is Ickes how fitting.

Terry MC: The Grench that lost the Election.
and the rest of the donut eating Posse please go away, and Hillary just may be VP.

Hillary should remain a senator. She can accomplish more in the Senate.

Obama certainly won't veto any legislation she champions.

The thought that a Democrat would vote for McCain over Obama is laughable, so that threat is meaningless.

Obama typical dem. put a abortion clinic on every corner. Kill those Babies, But when it fits his political agenda we must stop the troops from being killed. Hopfully after 8 years of bush and 8 years of Mcain the people that talk outb boths sides of there mouth will move to another country, maybe Iran.

Please stop with all the Hillary Clinton wants and wishes. I wanted to relish the moment in a very historic event in American History. Instead you allowed 75% coverage to Hillary and 25% to the fact that an African American had been chosen as the democratic candidate. It was the first time in a long time I was actually proud of America. Yet it was overshadowed by the Clinton coverage. I started my voting for President with John F. Kennedy. I feel fortunate to be able to vote for Barack Obama. Thank you for taking my wishes into consideration. I am a 66 year old white female lower income no college education that yes, surprise, supports Barack Obama because he DOES GIVE ME HOPE!

These people need to leave this man (Obama) alone. He's going to pick someone that is effective and trustworthy. Let him make the decision instead of trying to force it down his throat.
Obama is capable of making an intelligent decision. Leave him alone!!!!!!

OBAMA please Listen,

What she did to Vince Foster is the same thing her backers what to do to you!!

I REALLY HOPE HRC TURNS DOWN THE VP POSITION. SHE GO INDEPENDENT AND ALL OF 18 PLUS MILLION SUPPORTERS WILL GLADLY FOLLOW HER. MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATS WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA NO MATTER WHO THE VP IS.

Wow! How many ways can this man show he has no respect for Sen. Obama? She lost; let go. Most are moving on.

I know tons of people who have signed the Petition already. and I just forwarded it to my entire email address book, telling them to forward it on as well.

It is a shame that after Obama has made history, folks like Lanny can't even give him time to enjoy the moment before trying to push Hilary down his troat.

Hilary should not be on the tickey after the way she has conducted herself during the campaign. How devious a comment she made for staying in he race. Tuesday night just spell out her true self towards Obama. No doubt Hilary has ran a good race, but the sad thing is after working so hard she exit with disrespect, working of her own.

Remember Hilary always esteem others above yourself especially when it is due.
Lanny needs to take some laxative and go to the washroom. Remember folks a decision out of anger will always be regretful.

I wish the people of USA and Obama well.

I do not understand why they need to pursue this. Her strategics failed her and now they are trying to do something to earn their millions that she paid them. This is Obama's choice and only his. He will pick the best candidate that he would be able to work with and compliment his ideas for the nation. Hillary and Bill have too much baggage and do not believe he would want an ex-President and a person that she should be President in the WH.
NO TO HILLARY!!! NO TO BILL!!! NO TO LANNY!!!

This guy, is what's "all wrong" with…………Washington- POLITICS, in America….Hey,somebody tell him to go get a real Job, or write another book…………..He's one of the "Bitter ones";you can see it, in his choice of friends…………..

Absolutely not. Hillary represents the corrupted establishment that Obama is trying so hard to reform….not to mention all of her antics durign the election season. And then there's Bill who'll be trying to give directions 24/7. No way.

Obama/Richardson 2008.

The so-called "Dream Ticket" will be the Democrat's worst "Nightmare." Those propsing such an "unholy" teaming need to get real. Foremost for Democrats is to defeat McCain ending the worse eight years of political history in America. We need to end the war, bring the troops home, repair the economy including the mortgage scandal and the $4 per gallon gasoline, restore both human and civil rights that have trampled on for eight years and a whole host of things. Democrats, esppecailly Hillary supporters, need to clearly understand that if Obama were to lose because they sat it out or wrote her in on the ballot or voted McCain. She too loses. Obama supporters will see that her political career never ever takes off anytime in the future. That's only fair because of all the threats on the Hillary supporters.

What don't these people understand…can't they get a job doing something else? Hillary is old Washington and not wanted.Yes -vote both , but with Billary its a threesomme… Say good-bye Hillary

This guy is about as worthless as they come. He spouts off numbers that are non-existent to everyone else. The King of the "phony polls" wants Hillary to be VP…..not gonna happen Lanny boy. The more you push, the further away she gets from any position.

What a crud this dweeb is.

I believe the women in America who supported Hillary will vote for Obama without Hillary on the ballot. If she hadn't been the first lady we would not even had heard about her, there are more qualified, honest people that qualify for Vice-President. I'm sure Lanny has been promised some position in the white house and if Hillary doesn't end up there in some role, he will have to find a real job. Also, please don't have him on your shows, I always turn the channel if he appears.

I've always liked both candidates and am very optimistic there will be a joint ticket. It will be unbeatable. I even signed the VoteBoth petition.

Josh, no one can demand anything from Obama! He won the nomination brilliantly. If Hillary was the nominee no one could demand anything from Hillary! Hillary doesn't OWN 18 million people and their votes! Not all those people still support her! So you can't claim that at all! More sane people are actually putting their interests first and will not vote against their own interests this time. This time they're not going to vote against their party for spite. Others unfortunately will and will pay the price, but they shouldn't cry when they receive a 3rd Bush term. Also this was primary season! Just because you win West VA in the primary doesn't mean you'll win it in the General election. Sorry you can't compare primary polls with general election polls to claim electibility, why? Because Kerry was way ahead of Bush in the primary season and look what happened! Also, Hillary was not vetted at all this season so none of her scandals came up. Many people are not aware of her past scandals like some of us older people are aware of them. Believe me the Republicans would rehash all of that and then some.

NICE TRY BUT NOT GOING TO WORK

I have never seen so much disrespect as shown by Obama's supporters! It shows clearly how inmature they are, just as much as their candidate is. They write and speak as horrifying as their blogs show. You do not win by insulting intelligent and patriotic people like Hillary Clinton and her family. Grow up and show respect because when Obama reaches an older age, you will do to him exactly what you are doing to Hillary and McCain now. Speak issues, not insults and disrespectful terms! The more you express yourselves as you are doing now, the less chances your candidate will have for winning!
Mecca

GOD, this guy is an annoyance. Every time he and Kiki McLean (another incredibly annoying Clinton backer) are on CNN, I feel like I'm listening to nails on a chalkboard. BTW, I'm not slamming Clinton supporters in general. It's just that Lanny is - well, he's just a big…um… d-bag.

Lanny Davis you are sounding like Hillary. Leave the choice to Obama. You have been giving wrong advice to Hillary and now that she has lost you started to stir something should never happen. He doesn't need poinson.

Lanny is sure to accomplish one thing ( Hurt Hillary's chances even more ). This man is a disgrace to the Democratic party.

Sen. Obama is now the leader of the democratic party and the Clintons — who have been leading the party for the last 16 years — will not accept that those days are gone. Her campaign advisors had to get her supporters to force her to give it up — she is that desperate for power. Obama can not take her as his VP because with all this pressure, it will look like he caved in to Hillary's demands and will diminish his authority as a leader of the party and future leader of the US.

This is disgusting

I was thinking that Hillary can be good for Obama if she is his VP

But this bullying and demading our next president- noway

Obama must reject such demands..you cannot demand to the president..you request

Obama please Listen,

Is it better to gain the WORLD and lose you SOUL???

Hillary supporters are the most DESRESPECTFUL people in America!!

I would rather you lost the election than pick this bunch of UNPATRIOTIC fools!!!

Has anyone heard of a Troll? Isn't it obvious that all these "I am a Clinton Supporter going fo McCain" replies that are on every mainstream political thread out there look remarkably similar. Can we put this argument to rest, no Democrat/independent or a huge amount of people who changer their affiliation are suddenly going to support McCain come November. If this is your only defense writing this argument to stop from losing in the Fall you are truly doomed.

These forums are completely useless at this point, the GOP can't hide the disaster of their leadership for the last 8 years and beyond, its over. Every Senate and Congressional seat is up for grabs because of their corruption, let's all sit back and watch their disaster unfold.

Why would Clinton degrade herself by backing Obama Hussain?
Why would she even consider being on a ticket with a loser who will never make it to the White House?
The nomination hasn't been made official yet and ANYTHING can happen between now and the convention.
Clinton should make no concessions.
Her backers will not vote for Obama - any way shape or form.

Well, it seems that Obama was pushed down our throats during this whole campaign. It is no matter what baggage he has and still hasn't revealed yet. You cannot ignore the 18 million who voted for Hillary Clinton. I was one and proud of it. She fought hard during her campaign and deserves the respect from everyone including Obama supporters. Stop the hate mongering already. I can't believe it is still going on even though Obama is the nominee. You Obamabots will never stop the bashing; it is your nature I guess. I really feel sorry for you. If Obama wants to win in November, he should humble himself and his supporters to join with Hillary Clinton in winning the White House in November. The only way democrats will win back the White House is for both of them to join on the ticket together. That is the only way I will vote democratic in November. If that doesn't happen, I am not sure which way I will be voting. STILL SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON NOW AND FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

I agree with John in Brooklyn. The more people like Lanny cling to the battlecry for Hillary (she lost, LOST after being way ahead of everyone! is that good president material?) the more the party will be in a divide.

The Democratic Party is not served by Lanny Davis.

Lanny Davis is a useless pimp for the Clintons.

What an annoying weasel. Even if Hillary were a perfect match, no leader wants his hand forced like this. Lanny, you're becoming a joke, pal. Give it up.

The problem with the dream team idea and this petition is that Clinton supporters will perceive Hillary as their president rather than Obama. In essence the democrats will be fielding two candidates for president.

If the Clintonauts get their way, they will never look to Obama as the president and that will be completely destructive to the party. It's time to unify. The war is over Lanny!

Lanny, we appreciate your efforts. But, with the Michelle Obama racist rant in 2004 a month before Obama gave his speech where he criticized President Bill Clinton for atrocities for Africa, etc…

Clinton should not even be anywhere near this Manchurian candidate.

Obama's are racist and the Republicans have the video and are going to show it.

Unity will not help this divide. It is too deep. As an african-american woman, I am ashamed that we let this wolf and his wife get to represent the Democratic party in 2008.

I WISH I COULD SOMEHOW BECOME BARACK OBAMA FOR JUST 10 MINUTES SO I COULD CALL HILARY CLINTON AND LANNY DAVIS ON A CONFERENCE CALL AND SAY " THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT THIS WOMAN OR HER HUSBAND WILL BE ANY PART OF MY CAMPAIGN OR PRESIDENCY !! SO GET A LIFE !!

Lanny do us all a favor and concede right alongside Hillary on Saturday. Nobody cares what your proposals are.

The puppet Obama, has NO appeal to moderate and conservative members of the democratic party.

Many liberal democrats will protest the unfair election, the vile, filthy hatred and the unethical tactics employed by Obama, his supporters, the party, the DNC to install Obama.

Only with Hill do the DEMS have a prayer of a slim hope of winning in NOV.

Any more display of NON- unity and the party is permanently damaged.

I respect Lanny but I don't want Hillary on the ticket either. If Obama goes down in the fall I don't want Clinton to be another Edwards, or Lieberman. It made these 2 men weak politically and I don't want that to happen to her.

This Man has Alzheimer

America go vote for McCain and you will SUFFER.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill Clinton has already had the pleasure of pushing ****** down Monican's throat and NOW Hillary wants to be pushed down Barack's throat. NO MORE CLINTONS!!!!!!!!!!!! Please go away.

Hey "No Obama - Anti-Obama Movement": sign me up. Where can I send money?

Only a self-absorbed person would not know that a person who has defeated the Clinton Mafia is NO WALK OVER. WHY DO. Why do these people keep under-estimating Sen Obama? because he is skinny, because he listens, because he is not judgmental?

Get this, Sen Obama is picking his VP from the State of Virginia.

The harder they push, the less likely they'll get what they want.

Lame,

Since when does someone "run to be the VP?????" The NOMINEE is the ONE who SELECTS the VP - not the OTHER WAY AROUND! Sheesh…. give me a break. I agree that the more Clintons supporters try to force her as the VP the less attractive it is.

I hope Obama takes control of this situation soon and comes out and says to these people that this is HIS decision, not a bunch of others decision to force onto him.

And Hillary is not truly supporting Obama. She's still thinking about herself and NOT THE PARTY UNITING! Why are they shoving the VP position down Obama's throat. For god sakes let the man DECIDE. Jesus! She's making it seem mandatory when really it's not that serious. Go somewhere and work on encouraging your crazy and indenial supporters to unite with the rest of the party. Trust, if you don't the Dems wont have a seat at the white house.

TAKE THAT!

There must be "gold" in the White House left over from the Clinton Administration. Has anyone noticed that all of the Clintonites from the Clinton Administrations is determined to get back in the White House?? Either they buried a body or gold in there.

Lanny… GO AWAY!!!!! We do not want Hilary as VP. She does not deserve it especially after not conceding on Tuesday. I think she should have a cabinet position, but not the VP spot!

Lanny Davis is a MORON! I mean really….

Note to the "18 million"…

now the the primary is decided, more than half of you are open minded enough to STILL vote democratic.

So your still formidable number is actually LESS than NINE million…..

Obama is still working hard to bring you on…. BUT HE WILL NOT BE "FORCED" ….

know THAT, and move forward accordingly.

Lanny Davis, should keep his petitions to himself. Doesn't this smack of blackmail? Senator Obama is too smart to fall for that, as are his supporters. And how dumb does he think Hillary supporters are anyhow? Women are not sheep. They will vote their conscience and their preference. NOT at the bidding a Clinton loyalist. Hasn't he heard that women no longer have to dance to a man's tune?

If they have to work this hard to gain favor about the VP position for Hillary - then something must be wrong. Could it be Hillary's poor sportmanship during and at the end of the race? Why would they possibly think that her drama and grandiose whining about gender victumization could add to the ticket of a quality leader. Obama leads with integrity and quiet strength. What a ridicuous mismatch that would be. Her entitled attitude is wearing thin. It is a shame that her polarizing personality seems to overshadow all the hard campaigning she has done. I can respect her for her work; but never for the bullying.

Woman for Obama

Go crawl back under a rock Lanny, you weasel.

Now the whole will know "THIS IS ABOUT HER AND NOT THE USA",
No one is this important to gamble another 4-8 years of $5 gas, Dead soldiers, Homeless foreclosures, Job lost so she can be on the ticket!

This was fair election, everyone got dogged this time, so trying to paint this as un fair way is total unamerican! She lost! The winner has the rigth to pick and chose who they want to watch their back!!!!!!

This drive just makes the point that she is in this for herself and not the PARTY! This guy can not be a true American. Queen Hillary? No!!!

Why should someone beg Obama to take Hillary. This is pathetic because she will not be a good VP.

This guy is one of the most tedius things I have had to endure on TV. He has no scruples and is the last person whose counsel should be relied upon. Is forcing Hillary down Obama's throat Hillary's last strategy of continuing to isolate her hollowers away from and anti Obama. pathetic

Hillary needs to go home. She is not VP material, she does not have America's best interest at heart, she is so old news.

This guy is such a clown, and "undisputedly" worthless. It's not going to happen, ladies. They took it too far.

I am an independent. I supported Hillary. Looks like some groups wont let her be the nominee.

So, now my vote goes to McCain and so my family and friends.

Here's a possible scenario:

Imagine that Obama picks someone other than Hillary for VP, and still wins. Then, Hillary's political career would be essentially over. She'd be damaged goods.

No wonder she wants to be VP. She's desperate!

You know what I think? I think this man should be admired for standing by her through thick and thin, he did not jump ship when it's sinking. One should be so thankful to have someone like him as a friend & colleague.

As for Sen. Clinton, she'll probably gets blame for anything and everything that does not go well for Sen. Obama. I would not be surprise if she gets blame for his CONSTIPATION!!!

We all know that it's over & truly sorry that you (Sen. Clinton) didn't win. It's ok, you've fought a good fight. There are millions things out there that you can do. Do you know when it's really over? Well, when the FAT LADY (OPRAH) SINGS, AND DANCES. Yep, she did both!!! Did she ever JIGGLED, and the ripples are still running up and down her big booty!!!

Lanny, please push her toward running as an Independent. She will win the election, believe me.

Are a few power hungry people in Washington going to strong arm elections now? These people are getting way out of control.

VoteBoth is DOA.

Must beat dead horse.

Why doesn't everione get off Obama's back and let him do his own thing???????????? He's done great by himself so far and doesn't need everyone telling him what to do!!! McCain wants him to campaign with him, HIS WAY!!!!! Hillary backers want her to be chosen as his VP! If he wants her, he'll pick her! Personally I hope he doesn't! Obama backers want HIM not HER! Her followers won't vote for him, either way! Once people get to hear him and LISTEN to him, they'll change their minds. So, BACK OFF!!!!!

Can't these people understand that the more they try to jam Hillary down our throats, the more turned off we are.

S-H-E L-O-S-T………why can't you get that through your head? Go away, go away, go away. This blog is flooded with entries saying that people DO NOT want Hillary as VP.

Also, Obama needs a chance to establish himself as the candidate - on his own. Just like McCain is doing. Leave him alone - go away, take a vacation, get a lobotomy, anything, just shut up and go away.

Obama has NO appeal to many Democrats.

Many others have been turned off to voting for Obama due to the vicious hate and unfair tactics employed to secure his win.

hillary is the last hope to unify… the last chance for a Nov win for DEMS

Lynn stated on June 5th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

"I guess if she would except the Vice-President position, I would have to get over my dislike of Obama and vote for the ticket. I could go on and on of the reasons I do not like Obama, Rezco, Rev. Wright, his church, his ties to Chicago corruption, his talk but not really good solutions for this country, his wife issues - you get my point. But since I don't like him you know what I will be called."

My response: If you don't want to vote for Obama, DON'T. No one said you had to like him, but if you feel that you will be called names, you have to ask yourself: Why would someone think I would be that type of person, if I wasn't?
Or another response might be: Will people think I'm a Republican?

Lanny Davis is a CRY BABY….it is just sad to see how pathetic his words and actions are. A web site to BUY Hillary the Vice-Presidency is lunatic.

Lanny Davis has been a constant disgrace and annoyance on CNN. He will say anything, bend any fact and make any accusation just to advantage Hillary. This whole thing about pushing her on the ticket is ridiculous.

Any Obama supporter that thinks this is a good idea think about this: In losing Hillary and her supporters still think they can bully Obama into doing what they want him to do. Do you think they will all of sudden be good lieutenants in the fall or in the White House. NO.

These people are a political breed all their own. They really believe the ends justify the means and will do whatever and stabwhomever in the back to win (note that "win" here means getting their way, not winning the white house necessarily).

If Hillary can do nothing to for the Obama ticket but demonstrate that he wants to stay connected to the old school practices and politics, then its fair to say that Hillary and Bill should not do anything to get her supporters to back Obama. Obama don't need Hillary's old school help and supporters. Obama is the messiah and needs no bodies help.

It's Not my place to Tell Obama what to do. personally their is U p and Down side to it ( as it is for everything) Let Barrack decided what's best for Barrack. Lanny needs to chill like evryone else.

Now Most of the so-called Hillary supporters even if Hillary come out on Friday-Saturday whenever the time she decided to….and tells THEM that she has run a good Race but Obama has won and now we needs to put our head together and get the Bush Silly Out of the White House.

their response

1-well we didn't like Clinton ne-wayz we are still voting for McCain
so doesn't that tell you they were Republican in the first place and another excuse
2-oh im staying Home cuz Clinton sell out!
did you actually think this people has something to lose( ecconomy, war, so on and so forth) I think not.
Good luck convincing them!

It's frankly getting annoying people even listen to these poeple…

The Clinton backers (not the personal supporters but people like bob "I got kicked out of my fraternity for hazing" johnson and lanny "waaa!" davis) have just proven why Sen Clinton had a poor strategy team.

1st rule of thumb is you cannot pressure or demand a person in power to do what you ask. By pressuring Obama they have put him in a position to now be FORCED to tell Clinton NO!

Why? Because if he chooses her now (even if thats what he WANTED to do) it looks like he caved into pressure which translates into being a weak leader that cannot control a party he has been chosen to run.

The republicans wil have a field day with this and remind him every single week till Nov 4th.

Had the Clinton campaign just stayed quiet and let Obama do it on his own terms, more than likely he would have seriously thought about choosing her.

Clinton supporters dont blame Obama on this one. Blame all the idiots running her campaign that should of just fell back.

Your nasty comments is why many lifelong Democrats do not want to belong to this party anymore. I believe you are worse than Republicans. Remember Hillary supporters a write in for her is a vote for Obama.

Senator Obama could make a great presidential candidate, but considering his lack of experience, Senator Clinton would be the VP to fill in the blanks in his resume. Hillary Clinton IS the experienced leader that Mr. Obama NEEDS to win the election in November.

The election in november is an election people will have to decide,
the choice they will make. Vote john maccian, and be where you are today and vote obama and breathe the air of change. All over the world the wind of change is blowing , so the choice rests with the people now. High gas bills, house prices crumbling, cost of living sky rocketing every day. The choice is yrs.

I wish Lanny Davis all the failure in the world. And I would love to junk punch Lanny Davis…and when he's writhing on the ground asking "Why????" I'll look him in square in the face and say "You know why!"

Lanny Davis needs to go sit down somewhere and shut up. Obama's VP is Obama's choice…not Lanny davis the cry baby whiner.

Lanny Davis is and has always been a Clinton pimp without any ethics or morality. He will look you in the eye and lie like a rug. (ala Bill Clinton's infidelity and Hillary's problems over the course of this campaign) He knows full well that Hillary's baggage far outweighs what she can do for Barrack Obama and he is doing her bidding now as always.

Lenny needs to ga a grip on reality, this will not happen. And anybody willing to vote McCain because of the Dem ticket, go for it; we'd be better off without your vote. Loyalty is the watch word and if you can change your coat that easily, then you were not ture to yourself from the start. I fought in three battles so that you could have that right to vote as you please. A vote for McCain is not a vote for my fellow brothers in arms.

Lanny, you have more to gain by leaving Obama alone to flail on his own than discrediting your more than worthy champion by suggesting she sink with him or throw him out the life saver. 2012 will show the true winner.

What is going on here? Why is he still sounding horns? They guy is so into Hillary i suspect there more that we can think. Bill caused Hillary to loose but this guy still cheering even after Hill loss. Could this be the case of You, me and Dupree?????

NO NO not frm lanny. lanny you are a snake anyone who trusts this man is lost. he is up to something. him and jonson (bet) l wl never trust anything from them they are up to no good. people you can relax but that language of recently abt you no so and so was so so anything can happen. that is real. Obama needs to open his eyes. someone is up to no good l have a strong feeling. l know people will brush it aside and say lm being mad or something.people dont want to hear the truth. they prefare lies until its too late. l repeat someone is up to no good. obama be very very careful.

Lanny Davis does things like this to get attention. He has never done anything worthwhile to gain attention. He and Geraldine Ferraro are the king and queen of useless morons.

Obama has NO appeal to may Democrats.

And the unfairness in this primary has turned many others against voting for the installed nominee.

Hillary is Obama's only hope and the party's last chance to unify the party and win in Nov.

He just wants to get back into the pocket s of the American people there is alot of powerful forces in the party that would like to see Obama fail because it will mean less money and power for them

All of these supporters of Hillary who are pushing for her as VP, just want to make sure that they continue their political connections to line their pockets. THE SAME OLD POLITICS. Let Obama pick a running mate who matches his vision. (64-yr. old, white, blue collar, female. Hillary does not speak for all of us).

No Hillary, she takes away as many votes as she brings.
How many of these 18 million votes were racists that will never vote for a black man?
How many are radical feminists who won't vote in Nov. now?
How many were Rush Limbaugh Republicans that skewed open primaries to divide democrats?
How many were in puert rico or other territories that can't vote in Nov?
And using Hillary's own argument against her.
How many votes were in states that won't go democrat in Nov no matter what?
When you add it up. NO HILLARY!

Senator Obama deserves the right as previous presidents, including Bill Clinton, to choose his running mate. Hillary is not the only candidate that can enhance his administration.
I believe the old addage that says "be kind to all you meet because you may have to see that person down the road" or "don't burn bridges - that person may be the one to cross you over". Hillary said very distasteful things publicly about Senator Obama but he continued to respect her. And now she wants to be his right hand person? No, No, No…that's equivalent to cursing the person that's interviewing you for a job but you still want the position!!!

Why would she want it! The Dems will lose to McCain because they have alienated too many voters!

The biracial Obama didn't win - he was pushed over the finish line by super delegates in an infantile expression of instant gratification.

So there you have it - the Supreme Court elects Bush, and the super delegates elect Obama. Two losers - far right and far left. Bush = Obama. Two extremes don't = good change!

I have tried to wrap my mind around the despicable way the Dem Party and the far left media have engineered this nomination of a candidate totally unfit and unprepared to be president of the USA. I can't!

It is a nightmare but the American hero will win!

Former Dem supporter

We will have a first black president for sure, if there is a joint ticket. Sen. Obama must be smart enough to recognize this.

The joint ticket is the only reason for me to vote for Democrats Otherwise congratulations to Mr. John McCain.

Whenever I see or hear the word "shyster" a picture of L. Davis forms in my mind.

Lanny you are a snake and it's all in your face! You, Clintons, and all her supporters are going to rot in hell! And I do mean the deep and darkest of the bottomless pit.

I am just soooo tired of Lanny Davis. He like a rash that will not go away. Clinton supporters are doing her a great disservice by trying to bully their way through this election. CHILL OUT!!!!! This election has been a big mess because so many people are trying to stop destiny from taking place.

Will the DNC please squash this idea? This is not gonna work. Only Obama should choose. Believe me he has somebody way way better than HRC in mind for his running mate. He's too smart for her.

GO OBAMA

Obama cannot beat McCain without Hillary!

After all he got 51% of Dem vote and she got 49% and that was mostly prior to Rev Wright debacle

He does not have the experience from being a state leg nor senator at all to do this job…would be worse than Dubya and most of us Dems merely won't vote at all if she is not on the Dem ticket.

RICHARD GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN I MEAN 20 A GALLIN FOR GAS ISN'T THAT BAD….. NO CLINTON FOR VP, NOT NOW NOT EVER……………..

When this guy goes on fox news and undermined the Obama democrat party now is shameful and should be barred from any democract event. Lanny its over move on.

If Hillary will help get Obama the votes to win in Nov, why wouldn't he want to do that? Isn't he interested in doing the right thing for the party?

I hope Obama is smarter than some of his hate-speech followers. Time to stop hatin' folks. Even Obama says so! Unless he is still sending out his hate agents. I sure he will stop hatin' now too, and concentrate on winning in Nov.

I need to see how he starts behaving to see if I need to find a new party. Any ideas out there for a good alternative party?

Has anyone consider the possibility that Caroline Kennedy would be the VP. Think about it, yes she is young and has no experience, which many view as one of the weak points of Sen. Obama, but she would have the enourmous experience of the Kennedy clan behind her. She would help with the latino vote in Florida due to her Father´s popularity with the Cuban-Americans. She is a woman, so would help on bring back Clintons supporters (let´s say it clear, many woman were voting for her just because she is woman, not because they thought she was better than Obama). Finally Caroline Kennedy belongs to the most popular political family in the history of the US.

I just can not stand listening to Lanny Davis.

Give it a rest JOSH. The more people demand and try to force Barack to choose HRC the less likely it will happen.

for all the complaints the Clinton supporters had about calling for her to back out of the race, they sure are stubborn about pressuring Obama to choose her as VP. for the sake of consistancy, for both politicians and us nameless supporters, back your original ideals and stop trying to decide this for him.

I do not want Hillary Clinton to be so dishonored as to be on the same ticket with Obama. She's way too good for that! I think Obama should have the opportunity to fall on his face all by himself!

And before you now start to bash Senator McCaine just as you have Senator Clinton, think about this:

If John McCain appears a bit “stiff” to you, rather than “bouncy” like Senator Obama, here’s why:

• In 1967 McCain escaped from his burning jet during the USS Forrestal fire. While helping another pilot escape, exploded bomb fragments struck him in the legs and chest.
• Later that year, his Skyhawk was shot down over Hanoi.
• McCain fractured both arms and a leg, and then nearly drowned, when he parachuted into a lake.
• After he regained consciousness, a crowd attacked him, crushed his shoulder with a rifle butt, and bayoneted him.
• He was transported to Hoa Lo Prison, the "Hanoi Hilton."
• Now having lost 50 pounds, in a chest cast, and with his hair turned white, a program of severe torture began on McCain.
• He was subjected to 2-3 beatings per week, as well as rope bindings.
• His injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head.
• McCain was put into solitary confinement for 2 years.
• Altogether, John McCain was held as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for 5-1/2 years.

I think Lanny Davis should leave it alone and respect the new nominee's right to choose his own VP. Running interference is not going to pressure the future President of The United States of America.

Neither Lanny Davis/Voteboth or anyone else has the right to impose their choice of a running mate upon the nominee, if Obama wants Clinton as his VP it is up to him to reach out to her, not you, not anyone.

So, Take A Breath and Step Back

The only way that Obama can pick Hillary for his running mate, is to tell everyone that when he said that he wanted to change Washington. Because with Hillary & Bill it will be the same thing we have had for years.

and now a moron:

ITS NOT A THREAT BUT A PROMISE, IF SHES NOT ON THE TICKET YOU WILL GO DOWN WITH WHOEVER IS ON YOUR TICKET. HILLARY SUPPORTERS UNITE!!!!!!
———————————————————————————————–

writing in all caps + being a complete idiot + making empty threats + taking your ball and going home = no one caring what you say.

I BET THERE IS A DONATION BUTTON OR

THERE WILL BE ONE SOON.

LENNY NEEDS THAT DOE.

Two words: Back off!!!!!! Lanny Davis and Bob Johnson need to respect the process and stop lobbying and attempting to petition elected officials. Even Charlie Rangel and Ed Rendell have advocated letting Obama make his own mind up without pressure from others. It is his right, he's earned it, he is the nominee. I think Hillary ruined her chances of appearing someone who can be in the second spot after her "non" concession speech on Monday. Even President Bush and Condi Rice have acknowledged him. Get over it Davis and Johnson.

1st of all….congrats to Hillary Clinton for all she has overcome and on her recent presidential attempt.

2nd, I do want to point out to all of the "alledged" democrats who were Clinton supporters that are saying the following phrases: "take it to Denver", "If not Hillary then Mccain", "hillary for independent", and the worst one yet "McCain now, Hillary in 2012″.

You disgruntled hillary supporters are confidernt that she would have a chance to win in 2012. All i will say is this……..If you turn your back on the democratic party this election, do you really think that Obama supporters would support yours in the future. fat chance.

Do the smart thing, the right thing, and support a unified democratic party.

Dear Senator Obama,

Please do not have Hillary as your VP. I beg of you.

Sincerely,
Citizen Ruth

STOP shoving this woman in your face! STOP IT NOW! She's done, so get over it.

Reasons why Hillary can't be on the ticket:
1)Obamas' message is "Change"-that means change from 2 dynastys Bushes and Clintons.Unfortunally Hillary represents same old politics,and she will undercut Obamas message.
2)Hillary holds second most negative ratings in the country after Bush.She will energize republican base and turn off many independents and yes,perublicans who is ready vote for Obama.
3)Republicans will use effectivly what she has sad about Obama during her campaign, things like:"Ihave lifetime expirience,senator McCane has lifetime expirience,and senator Obama has speach he gave in 2002″.
4)Obamas campaign took a highroad and never mentioned old Clintons sins.But republicans wouldn't hesitate to ask Clintons and Obama ,in that case,who donated millions of dollars to Presidents Library?And when american public find out that most of money came from Arab sheikhs what they gona do???(Let alone Levinsky etc.)
5)And when Clintons supporters publicly pressing Democratic nominee to chose Hillary as a VP,they make look him weak.
And frankly ,I think that's what they really want-make him look weak,lose to Mccane and Hillary will run in 2012 against ven older McCane.

Politicians may have to prostitute themselves and their beliefs for a political party….but the American people do not.

It doesn't matter how your are registered in the general election–you can vote your consicience for whichever scumbags remain on the ticket.

I hope Americans–send a strong message to both of the corrupt and distinterested major parties–and vote Bob Barr, Libertarian for President!!

Let's get some REAL change we can rely on.

This VP pressure needs to stop. These people have been trashing Obama left and right for moths now. Why do they want Hill to be his running mate? Hill does not trus him to do a good job anyway so does she want to be able to say in the futur that Obama did it because of her help?
If you can't trust Hill to be there for Obama, then she should not be that close to him.

If Hillary is not part of the Democratic ticket, I will be voting Republican come November!

We LOVE you Hillary !!!

David, you make no sense. I hope you were able to graduate from high school, because with your abilities in logic, you wouldn't be fit to function in society. How does voting for McCain make any sense because Hillary isn't the nominee? Even if you don't like Obama, and nobody is forcing you to, you'd rather vote for someone else who has ideas that are 180 from what your first choice did. Smart man, I guess I see the benefits of the second amendment: so that idiots like you can commit suicide!!!

What a laugh, the organization is all Hillary supporters trying to convince us that they didn't care what order the ticket was in. Sorry, I don't buy that like I didn't buy her math, the Bosnia lies, the NAFTA lies, the Norterhn Ireland lies, and the 'I will bow out when he reaches the delegate count" lies.

Hillary has no honor, Bill has no honor and those that worship them like Lanni Davis are woefully misguided. i am not saying you can't like the woman (I personally don't but no matter) just if you are going to take a public position, you have a responsibility to perform a bit of due diligence on the facts. You simply cannot just repeat spin as if it is gospel and expect the world to respect you or what you say.

There is something disturbing about this guy. His enthusiasm for Hillary is borderline fanaticism. One gets the impression that he is co-dependent, overly attached, and juvenile in his endorsement. Perhaps he can find another Washington inside to be a lackey for. To think he has the right to strong arm the Democratic nominee is absurd. He needs to cut the cord and get a real job.

I will not vote for Obama in general election no matter what, how can I forget the biases in the press against Hillary, how can I forget those backstabbers in the Democratic Party, how can I forget the nastiness from the Obama supporters, Obama will not win in november.

Obama-18 million voters =looser

Lanny. You're messing up man. Your loyalty should be to the Democratic party..not to any one particular candidate. Look, Hillary lost this race. Obama will not be pressured into selecting Hillary or anyone else to be his VP.

Cease and desist. Obama needs to focus on McCain.

Obama will make his own choice for VP, all this is going to do is hurt Dem chances in the fall by prolonging the hope of the Hillary constituency that she's going to be on the ticket.

The fact that Hillary's people are signing on to this ludicrous idea shows how strategically weak her campaign really was.

I've never seen anything like this. Since when was it okay to try to muscle the nominee into picking someone as VP? It is not inherent that the person who loses gets to be VP. IF Obama CHOOSES her to do it because he feels she's the best person that's one thing, but he should not let himself be intimidated by some loser who's still raw over Hillary losing fair and square.

What is this crap?

Don't you get it….. without Hillary as VP, Lanny Davis is finished. After all he has done to hurt Obama, do you think any news channel will put him on again in an Obama/Hillary-less administration? Because, he will have NO role in an Obama administration. He will have nothing. This is about Lanny, not Hillary. Begone Lanny, begone. Go practice Law or something.

Going backward: HRC as VP

Going forward: Let the brilliant man choose his own VP.

Not a good idea.

Uhh, Lanny WHO? Who cares? Go join the AARP while you're up for joining groups. I can think for myself!

I say NO! It's not because I support Obama, it's because I support Hillary, and putting her on the ticket is just using her by Obama supporters. That's all they would want her for because they know that without Hillary, Obama will have a big fight on his hands trying to beat McCain. As a tribute to Hillary, McCain will get many democratic voters, primarily to punish those superdelegates who THOUGHT Obama would be their ticket to the white house.

It's really time for Hillary and Hillary supporters to stop exerting pressure on the process. Her and their roles are now to support the current candidate not undermine him!

I think the sad thing about this is that when Hillary's supporters propose a joint ticket, they do it with an arguement that she can win where he cannot - once again by trying to bring down Obama. I don't think it's being appreciative of the domecratic nominee.

It's amazing that you would want to team up with someone you threw so much dirt at. Where is self respect in all of this?

His message is about Change and against the old Washington order. If he brings her onto the ticket, it will go against everything he has said.

This is also a form of blackmail. Let him pick who he wants and feels most comfortable with. Millions of people may have voted for her, but millions did not too.

Lanny - your candidate lost, move on.

Since when is the vice president selected by an on-line straw poll? And just how long before Rush instructs his fans to go to that website?

Give
Me
A
Break!

When The Clintons started to lose in the primaries, they changed the rules. Now they want to make up all new ones!

Absolutely not. They should have worried a bit more about party unity before they used their dirty politics against Obama.

Lanny, dude. Give it up! Please!

You know, I used to wish that Hillary Clinton would just go away. Now I wish she would just die. I am so sick of her egotistical narcissism. Someone has to tell these Clinton people, in no uncertain terms, "YOU LOST!! YOU LOST!! YOU LOST!!. On the other hand, maybe the know they lost. They're certainly acting like a bunch of loosers.

go away you nasty bloggers. Hillary is one of the greatest people to help us.

Lanny Davis and all the others need to understand; "not a snowballs chance in hell!. Let it go, please. There are many more qualified and better candidates to help Barack Obama secure the White House.

I don't think Bill will accept Hillary being V.P. He would have to disclose too much about what he's been up to since his presidency and how he's been raising money for his library. I loved him when he was in office, but I think his behavior on the campaign trail shows that we don't need him anywhere near the general election if we want to have a chance in November.

GOD I am sick of Lanny Davis. Just what Obama needs is pressure from her top supporters who think she is owed the VP. KEEP HER OFF THE TICKET. Her people will not vote for McCain because it will effect them.

This is perfect. Of all of the commentors on CNN, Lanny Davis has been consistently "on script" for Hillary Clinton, adding nothing but his own very inept commentory on anything which does not have to do with his talking points. His presence has very obviously been tolerated by panel members, both liberal and conservative and of both parties, who have occasionally shown their irritation with his uncreative approach to TV journalism. Lanny's time is over and it is only appropriate that he make his last stand at VoteBoth.com.

LANNY DAVIS DOESNT HAVE BOTH OARS IN THE WATER. HE IS SUCH A PANDERER. ALL DURING THE CAMPAIGN HE BAD MOUTHED OBAMA AS A POOR CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT. NOW HE HAS THE AUDACITY TO ASK OBAMA TO MAKE HILLARY VP. WHEN CNN HAD HIM ON AS A SUPPOSED COMMENTATOR ALL HE DID WAS RANT ABOUT HILLARY. HIS NEGATIVITY DOESNT GIVE HIM VERY MUCH CREDIBILITY.

> Why? Because America is smart!.

Yeah, just look at the geniuses America has running the office for the last 7.5 years.

Do these people ever stop? It's over…..get a clue.

DREAM ON…BUT THAT WOULD BE ONE NIGHT MARE I WOULD PRAY WAS JUST A DREAM.

NOT GOING HAPPEN. OBAMA SUPPORTERS DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HIM BASED ON BRINGING HILLARY ABOARD.

HILLARY REPRESENT THE "OLD WASHINGTON" THAT WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO AVOID.

THIS TERM IS NOT FOR HILLARY…SHE LOST!!!!

YOUR CHOICES ARE: OBAMA, MCCAIN OR POSSIBLY BARR. CHOOSE!!!!!

Amazing.

This is all a result of Clinton's "defiant" speech Tuesday night. Let's wait and see what her next speech will say about this campaign.

I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!!

HE IS SO LOYAL

as neither an obama zealot nor a clinton fanatic i can state that in my view sen. clinton should in no terms accept a v.p. slot on this ticket. she should stand back and watch the obama train wreck and run again in 2012 with the slogan " I TOLD YOU SO!!!"

Clinton on the ticket would hurt Obama more than help him. Yes, she would bring a good portion of her voters to the table, but he could do that himself between now and November, especially if Clinton gives her support. Also, Obama drew a unprecidented number of Independents and moderate Republicans, voters that will most likely defect to McCain if Clinton is on the ticket.

There is no "dream ticket" anymore–that ship has sailed. Putting her on the ticket will not guarantee a win in November. People talk about offering Clinton the VP spot as if it's "the least he can do". Frankly, Obama doesn't owe Clinton anything. You don't bargain with, bully, or pressure the presidential nominee. You support the nominee fully and try to unite the party without expecting anything in return. I wouldn't rule out a cabinet post for Clinton, but I think having her on the ticket would do more harm than good.

This election is about the corrupt power in Washington vs the everyday American.

Great!!

These two together can beat McCain!!

I agree with Mish…..let Mr Obama and his team go through a process of vetting ALL of the qualified individuals for the VP slot. Yes, Mrs. Clinton "lasted" the longest in the primary, and yes, she has great qualifications, but there are other equally qualified democrats, independants and even some republicans that might make a better total ticket.
Just think….a black dem and a white/asian/hispanic dem/rep/ind ticket…..What a concept!! But give the Obama team the opportunity to explore these possibilities….and certainly don't start "shoving" any one particular individual down their throat. That's a good way to send a chill into ANY purported candidate's chances.

He needs to get over it. Obama will not pick her as VP and he should not. I like him, but if he makes her his VP I will not be able to vote for him.

Obama '08

according to president Carter a Clinton VP would be a terrible disaster.
He won the primaries against all odds .he won it withouth the Clinbtons support.So why now raise the question or fight to give her the post as VP. to ensure Obama to win the November election????
I agree with President Carter!!

This disgusts me. If Sen. Obama would like Sen. Clinton on the ticket, it's up to him and his advisors. Backers of Sen. Clinton have no say in this. What if the two of them truly don't get along? Should he put her on the ticket just to appease some people? Enough already!

I'm just an average citizen and therefore, not too well versed with the inner workings of Capital Hill. However, I don't think I've ever seen someone quite like Hillary Clinton in any walk of life. This lady is remarkable. How is it, in any way, feasible to think that Barack Obama - who's being asked by every democrat in the country to show some toughness, no less, will give in to what amounts to be strongarming? This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Well, besides every media outlet reporting that she's either quit or dropped out of the race. No she didn't! There is no more race, it's over. That's like saying, The Penguins are going to drop out of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. It's over, they already lost and so did she. Now, do you, your party and your country a favor by sitting back and waiting for Barack Obama to let you know in what capacity he thinks you will be best utilized.

He just can't let go. Lanny Davis needs to stop, take a deep breath, and let the process work itself out. He needs to focus on party unity. The earned right of the Presumptive Nominee, Senator Obama, to choose his VP is his alone. Enough already.

Dem 08

Lanny Davis it is not your job to pick vice president,
so quit being annoying.

Go Lanny. You are a faithful friend. Hillary is bless to count on you in good and bad times. I will spread the word to all of my friends and family. Not only are white females upset as to the way Hillary was treated but all minority females too. Hillary can count on our vote always. The DNC is a disgrace.

Hillary as VP, Obama's worst nightmare! She is neither entitled, nor does her resume support sufficient judgmentsl management skills!
Start the showers, turn on the gas!

THE PEOPLE who are STILL complaining about the DNC and how MI & FL was handled and are planning on switching to Republican, the RNC has the SAME rules! This is laughable!

VOTE DEMOCRAT!

What will it matter, all of the Clinton "Democrats" have said they will vote for McCain no matter what. They are determined and will be satisfied to ruin the country out of spite and I doubt this guys attempts to get Clinton on as VP will change that.

By the way, if you are voting f
