ok frank vote por mccain….IS YOUR LOST!!

Good. He would make a better Attorney General. Maybe then we would see gas prices come down, credit card companies not able to charge 30% interest, insurance companies stop evaluating premium prices based on credit scores instead of actual risk, and war profiteers like haliburton put in jail where they belong.

Time to help the American people Mr. Edwards- Get to work.

I absolutely support Edwards for Attorney General if Obama takes the presidency. He's honorable, committed, and potentially a very good cure for years of Ashcroft's and Gonzales' immorality and expediency.

And to some of the rest of the commenters, please, please, please, let's try to act like we're a civilized country, and cut the name-calling out. This is a public forum and the vituperativeness doesn't advance anything, no matter who wins.

Been there, done that!

Edwards would make a great attorney general.

Dem '08

He also said he wasn't going to endorse anyone..

I hope John Edwards becomes our next Attorney General and that he can straighten out things in the Department of Justice. He's great!

Face it. Neither Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Kerry and especially Clinton actually want the VP slot.

Who wants to be second fiddle to a second place General Election Campaign this Fall?

I don't believe Sen. Clinton has layed all her cards on the table and this is very critical to the success of the Democratic party winning the Presidency. Sen. Obama appears to be the best person to lead the country. There is a lot of speculation over this but I believe If he becomes the next President he would restore the credibilty of our nation to the world.
Democrats need to stop the bickering and move on….. there is an election at stake.

Edwards Doesn't have enought to balance out what Obama needs. Which is someone like Webb in regards to dealing with the war. Richardson has a strong foreign policy record, Hagel is a nutral repulica ho could help bring the two parties together, Biden, is a rough rider, he'll have Obama's back like a true VP Edwards would be good in other areas within Obam's cabinet

Edwards is weak politically after Kerry lost and thats why he didn't do good in the Pres. election. I don't want a dream ticket because if Obama loses I don't want it to reflect Hillary's chance's of running again.

Hillary has to be VP or Obama is not going to get to the White Huse.

Then we can have four more years of Bush just as the pundits
appear to want.

They will have no one but themselves to thank.

Obama/Edwards would be a dream ticket. I was sad when he dropped out of the race. What most people tend to forget is that his beautiful wife Elizabeth is fighting cancer and he needs to be in a position where he can run to her at a moments notice. Now here is a man that has morals and values.

Four years ago he could not even carry his own state! It may be he dropped out of the race way early this year because he also knew he could not win even the primary in his home state. But, with that being said, someone find him a job in Washington. He does nothing for us in North Carolina anyhow. Wait a minute, I stand corrected. He does pay a lot of real estate taxes on his five million dollar home.

His wife probably told him heck no don't do it. Elizabeth is in hillary's corner.

People who are opposing this Dream Ticket are GOP scalawags and most of them are racists. These people are planning to stage an attack for Barrack Obama Presidency. Everything has been planned to destroy his image and will use race card against him but if Clinton is with him in the Ticket they will need to change their plans. They included Senator Clinton remarks and others to their plans.

These are GOP's dirty tactics to win in November!

We call on all democrats to join together and push for this "Dream Ticket" to win back the White House from the GOP.

Obama/Clinton '08

What a pity. I'd think he'd do a great job!

Old saying; "If you want something, tell them you don't want it." Let's see if Edwards turns down the opportunity to be Obama's VP……it will either disprove or aprove the old saying.

Hillary is emotionally unstable and narcissistic, she could not tolerate be defeated. It's all abuto her ego, me,me,me, and me !

And she still don't get it., like many Americans.

Obama means change, to get rid off the old style of politics.

Can you imagine her under stress? She would press the red button !

Obama-C.Kennedy '08

Most of the comments i've read are thoughtless. It takes very little brains to insult someone. This is the reason why change needs to happen NOW. We cannot afford to keep thinking in the mindset of the past. The United States of America has spoken and Obama is the nominee, like it or not. Take a look around you….things are changing whether you like it or not. When are we going to work together, think together love one another together. I would not bet the ranch on any canidate who shows any resemblence to any one president of the past. We need change NOW, let it go people you have no other choice at this point its a new beginning like it or not. AMERICA HAS SPOKEN…..NOW!

IF NOT HILLARY, MCCAIN HAS MY VOTE.

Hey Barb. I like your idea about McCain naming one of his good friends from the business community as VP. Maybe the former CEO of Enron, or Bear Stearns. I think they are available. Wolfowitz would be a good choice too. He had such a good record at the World Bank. Then again, maybe Rupert Murdock — oh yeah — not American.

How's about that good Republican Ed McMahon! McCain-McMahon! The double Mac attack! I like it.

I think joining Hillary as VP to Obama's Presidency is Great for the Country and the Democratic Party. It will solidify the Democratic Party. Their platforms are basically the same and it will be good for our Country to have them both to lead our Country back to its feet. This is also a "History in the Making"…
I will be very proud to tell my granchildren that i have lived in the days when the first African-American and an American-Woman were given this noble responsibilities of leading our Country as President and Vice President.

Obama/Hillary '08

WITH 1 MILLION HOMES IN FORECLOSURE AND CLIMBING ALONG WITH ENORMOUS JOB LOSS AND RISING FOOD AND FUEL COST, I HOPE ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY IF OBAMA DOESN'T PICK HILLARY THEN I'LL VOTE MCCAIN. YOU WILL NOT ONLY LOSE THE WHITE HOUSE BUT YOU MAY LOSE YOUR HOUSE AND JOB. WE ARE A FAMILY OF THREE WITH ONE INCOME OF OVER $100,000/YEAR AND LIVE VERY MODESTLY AND YESTERDAY WE WERE POSSIBLY LOOKING AT LOSING THAT INCOME DUE TO RISING FUEL COST. I WAS TERRIFIED. I WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR MORE OF THE SAME.

Instead of asking what does Hillary want, what the heck does John Edwards want? He wants something.

Maybe Hillary will take the hint.

Edwards would be a great Attorney General. His integrity might be a challenge for those who have been there under Bush.

I agree with Edwards, I do not think he would be the best choice for VP.

Correction in my Comment:
"I FEEL THAT BEST RUNNING MATE FOR OBAMA WILL BE "

From the way Billy Bob and other Hilarious (and McPain) supporters spell, what would be best is if Obama picks a good Secretary of Education to help you and your kin.

Knowledge is power.

Herman in LA – Have Michelle Obama make a statement prior to the release of her tape? Then what, Obama can make another one of his false statements like he has with Wright and the others – "that's not the Michelle I've known for 20 years". It won't work. He is gonna lose!!!

To An Ohio Combat Vet Observation – "He won't salute our flag or wear a flag pin." This is an outright lie!

Who said or made the rule that you have to place your hand over your heart when the Star Spangled Banner is sung? Isn't this the protocol used for the Pledge of Allegiance? Who made the rule that the flag pin is anything other than lapel jewelry? It's a free country. No one can dictate what another person should wear on their lapel.

Mr. Combat Vet, if this is all you are smart enough to complain about, maybe you should be checked for post traumatic stress syndome. Now get to the REAL issues that Americans are facing. Not some stupidity about salutes and jewelry.

Obama is not asking these people to be his runningmate, it's the media.

What is all this about white people going on now. Obama does not hate white people, his mother was white. It does not matter who said what as long as Obama himself did not say it. So keep your tapes and everything else. The republicans must hate all people the way people are struggling now.

The choice will be Pres. Obama's to make….so you all just chill and wait until the leaders speaks! There is a great article about McBush on the Huntington post by Seth Grahame-Smith.

Obama '08!

I have always respected John Edwards and think he is a good, caring man. What he lacked in the presidential campaign was the ability to project a full-bodied message/vision and so did not connect on the grander political scale. This is not a deficiency of character though and I would be thrilled to see him in a position in the progressive Obama cabinet.

Thank you Mr. Edwards for being more selfless than probably any of the other candidates, but especially for putting the sin of poverty on the national radar screen. Thank you for endorsing our next president.

United for the common good. Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's with the PATRIOTIC-POLICE? WHO APPOINTED THESE PEOPLE TO JUDGE OTHERS PATRIOTISM ON WHETHER THEY WEAR A FLAG PIN OR NOT?! ARE WE BACK IN NAZI GERMANY?

Patriotism is a matter of heart, we are not to judge! This is scary! WE HAPPEN TO LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY…… AND YOU "FLAG PIN" PEOPLE DISRESPECT OUR FREEDOM THAT HAS BEEN FOUGHT FOR WITH THE BLOOD OF PATRIOTS WHEN YOU JUDGE ANOTHER AMERICAN'S PATRIOTISM OR QUESTION IT! SHAME ON YOU!

This is what the Republicans and George W., have managed to do to our nation……… make us question one another's patriotism! DISGUSTING…. AND I BET YOU CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIAN…… WELL, PLEASE SPEND SOME TIME READING THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW…… JESUS SAYS "DO NOT JUDGE LEST YOU BE JUDGED!"

go Obama. Make Mccain cry in November!!!! Obama 08

Good

I am saddened that our hopes and dreams have been beaten out of us to the point that an honest person that has not been corrupted by Washington politics is actually being badmouthed and questioned. President Obama is a godsend and he will 'try' and I say 'try' to fix our country because that was a pretty big mess the Republicans left him to clean up.
Attorney General Edwards will do great! He is a good man and he deserves it!
Or…
Would you all rather see the people in your families sent to a working vacation in Iraq as Bush/McCain promise to do?
Or maybe you don't think women deserve a choice to determine what to do with their bodies? Hey if that is the case then I am with you and you should vote for the patriot McSame.

Edwards is a good man, but he needs personal time. His wife is dying of cancer and he shouldn't be on the campaign trail.

too bad. i really like edwards.he knows how to use a shovel correctly,as he did in new orleans.we need his "shoveling" abilities desperately in washington.i respect his decision,tho, and i hope obama names him poverty czar.

Barack ….

From one Columbia grad to another …

I recommend that you ask John to join the VP Selection Team …. He has practical experience and it would help his political constiuency feel that their hot buttons were part of the selection process.

Eric J. Holder for Attorney General

John Edwards for Secretary of Health & Human Services…

Hillary supporters follow her with religious fervor, but they are tiny in the big scheme of American politics. Obama would lose his base in order to sway a few million disgruntled Hillary voters.

Not worth it.

Obama / Richardson 08

John Edwards is a smart man. HE was my first choice for
the Democratic candidate for President. BUT – because
he was not a novelty 'not the first woman OR the first black' he
got virtually NO MEDIA COVERAGE…and when I say that this
primary was media-driven – this is what I mean. His main
platform was to abolish poverty IN THIS COUNTRY. To go
after the big drug companies on our behalf, in other words
to take care of US. The issues that hit us personally –
every day. But he was constantly in the background of
this media circus. What a shame for all of us.

To: "HILLARY WAS FORCED OUT BY SEXISM!!!"

I'm a woman and don't believe that at all. It was her ca-razy character. Another woman who had better character might've won the nomination.

I support Obama. And if he didn't win I wouldn't say he lost because of racism.

Get over your bitterness!

–Fellow Female American.

Bill Richardson would make an excellent VP. Hillary Clinton is out of the question, I'd take Jeb Bush over her as VP at this point.

It's a tragedy that Senator Edwards does not want to run as V.P. with Senator Obama. After all, how is Obama going to win without capturing North Carolina the way Edwards did that for Kerry in 2004??? Come on…

Smart, he doesn't want to be a looser twice.

The VP spot is Obamas choice to make and no one elses. I amuses me how everyone tries to interject in their own agenda. If Obama chooses Clinton as VP it will be because he thinks whe is the best person for the job and will insure that we win the general election. If he chooses someone else it will be for the same reasons. Wveryone is getting all bent out of shape for no reason and it is only hurting us from winning against McCain. We are all on the same side now. Chill out. All the comments about Clinton wanting this or that are rediculous and have no basis. Don't be so paranoid. Stop it. Chill. Both Obama and Clinton want the same thing. For the Democrates to win in the General Election. Both Obama and Clinton are two of the best Democrats out there. They are both really great people who want to fix this country. They do not have a gang land mentality and are not part of a mafia. They want what is best for this party and for the country. It has only been three days since the election and these two are tired from months of campaigning. Give them some time to relax before going into the general election.

I feelk the best running mate for OBAMA will Ms. Opera Widfrey for following reasons:
1. She is an woman and as such no one will complain that woman is discreminated
2. She is from Chicago and very well known to Barak Obama and Michell Obama and are best friends and as such they will get along very well in the White House
3. She is black and as such BLACK America will not complain that Blacks are neglected
4. Lastly but not the least that Opera is wealthiest woman in the world. So she can finance the campaign of her own fund and there by the public need not to support the campaign financially and we can spend that money for our daily life

What nonsense….wait about a week until after all the current mania begins to fade and more folks will realize that an Obama/Clinton ticket — while sounding like a dream– would be a true nightmare. These polls just frustrate me. A better poll would be once a list of the VP candidates is released and we can all compare the strengths and weaknesses of each. There are plenty of viable candidates who can help retain Clinton supporters AND bring other skills and experiences to the table.

OBAMA SHOULD PICK HIS FRIEND LARRY SINCLAIR AS HIS RUNNING MATE.

BARRACK OBAMA & LARRY SINCLAIR 2008! GO DEMOCRATS!

If Hillary isn't on the ticket, Obama will lose in November. Then you'll have all the Obamanites saying it was Hillary and her supporters fault. Yet now they say no to having her on the ticket and saying we should blindly follow what they want and vote for Obama as they continue their insults of Hillary and us. Nah.. Either stop your crap and realize that Obama needs Hillary. If you think he doesn't then fine.. Remember that come Nov whe he loses without her and blame yourselves for choosing the weaker canidate to begin with and yell at yourselves in the mirror.

Edwards for VP. Why, he didn't make it with Kerry and had to leave the Senate because the voters of NC were going to NOT re-elect him.
Bill Richardson would be a good choice, Hillary won New Mexico!!! That would insure McCain a victory in New Mexico. Richardson is finished, can't run for Governor again, is now looking for another home on the tax payers dime. He has no shame.
Rev Wright will have to give his approval of any VP choice. Obama still seeks his advice. Obama stated he has many friends and family members in "the church", all ties are not cut!

There is very strong rumor that a tape of Michelle Obama trashing whites is out there just waiting to be released. If there is one, you can bet the Obama networks will sit on until after the Nov. election.

HILLARY CAN COME BACK IN 4 YEARS AND WIN!

Hahahahaha…made my friday

to those who continue to suggest that rev wright would be the only one to accept the number 2 position under obama, why's that such a bad idea? to put hillary in there would be doing the same so…he keeps it real! America still has some growing up to do, just like most of us here on this blog

Wright is the only right VP candidate.

I see post where people are suggesting running mates for Obama. Why would he want Richardson, did he help him in Puerto Rico? Why would he want Edwards who has already lost once as VP? Why would he want Caroline Kennedy who has never served the public in any capacity, never sought to be elected to public office. The Kennedy name is not enough. Obama needs someone who will not out shine him and that is not an easy task. He is a do nothing candidate with the worst resume I have ever seen. I pray Hillary will refuse the offer to be his VP. Obama will not win in November no matter who he selects. McCains choice for VP will be the most important decision in his life. If he could secure Colin Powell as his VP he would secure a win in November and perhaps the first black president could be Colin Powell.

I hate them both! Two losers anyway!

It doesn't matter if John Edwards isn't the VP. He will be valuable in any postition he takes under the Obama Administration.

He lost already as a V P. No losers on the ticket…………Edwards, Clinton NO!!!

But I do think that Clinton should be placed on the Supreme Court……..let her make Scalia, Thomas and Roberts life miserable.

Edwards has had his eye on the Attorney General spot…….too bad that the position is not available.

YEA!!! NOW ONE LESS PERSON WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT….I WILL BE SO HAPPY WHEN NOVEMBER COMES AND McCAIN IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, ALONG WITH A GOOD BUSINESS MAN OR WOMAN AS V.P.

TOO BAD CNN IS SOOO LIBERAL AND ALL COMMENTATORS DISPLAY THIS TO THEIR AUDIENCE.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT NEWSCASTERS WERE TO REPORT THE
N E W S, NOT THEIR OWN THOUGHTS!!!!

Thats Republicans and some(not all) Hillary supporters. Gas will be $5/gallon, unemployment at 7%+ and they will be complaining about flag pins and pastors. Or that it was just a scheme for HRC to not be a candidate.

Ohio Combat Vet Said:
"Don't fall for his cotton candy fluff. Check Revelations in the Bible."
—————–

That's impossible, since there is no book in the Bible called "RevelationS" with an "s." That's what drives so many to interpret it incorrectly.

It's the REVELATION of Jesus Christ (SINGULAR) to John. It's a book about Jesus and what He's done, not a list of predictions or "revalationS."

Leena : And why is Obama saying "Everybody needs to settle down"? It sounds arrogant and rude and he can't afford that.
==================================
My goodness. You think *that* was arrogant and rude? What's arrogant and rude is having other people try to make an important decision for you. All Obama was asking for is some breathing room, not just for himself, but for Sen. Clinton as well. I mean, how would you feel if relative strangers were "suggesting" who you should marry? That's an important personal decision, right?

Back to the article at hand – this is nothing new, we already knew Edwards wasn't interested in the VP position. There are plenty of places where he can put his skills & experience to use in the Cabinet, though. I wish him luck in whatever he decides to do.

Dear Ashamed:

all of us Obama supporters welcome you with open arms

Hillary is just like the Tracy Flick character, played by Reese Witherspoon in the movie Election. She'll do and say anything to get elected.

I would LOVE to see Edwards as AG. It would be a welcome change to have an Attorney General who upholds the law!

Sen Edwards will need to justify the statement that Obama was harping all along about Hillary's Iraq War judgement.
Edward had also voted YES for Iraq War, and this questions his ability to make good "judgement". Backfired.

He doesn't want to join a loser ticket. A naive initiate and a bloodsucking lawyer.

I'm sure everyone would want to vote for them.

I think John Edwards be an excellent choice for Attorney General.

That is fine Obama does not need Edwards as VP there are plenty others that are better suited. HILLARY IS NOT THE ONE EITHER!

WE DO NOT WANT HILLARY CLINTON AS VP!

OBAMA / ANYBODY BUT HILLARY!

As long as it isn't Hillary Clinton, I don't care who gets the second spot on the ticket.

And to those who still talk about writing Hillary's name in, check your state rules. Most states don't even count write-in votes in a presidential general election.

The economy is tanking worse by the minute and you would really still vote Republican? Oh yea there are so many other things going right with the country. Just when you think some people in this country can't get any more ignorant.

Obama/ Webb 08

Think about what Obama has thus far overcome…..

He has over come the demands of old politics with the promise of the new,
He has used today’s present to overcome yesterday with the promise of tomorrow,
His youth over experience,
The issue of black and white
For now, take a moment to consider the mind-bending improbability of what just happened.

At the moment, to tell the truth, I don't care. Whether Obama wins or loses, history has been made this year. Maybe there's more to come, maybe not; but already — it's safe to say that this nation will never be the same.

Michele Obama/Pastor Wright '08

Edwards for Attorney General!

Puh-leeze. Edwards is nothing more than a life-support system for a hairstyle.

What is all this positive campaigning about anyway? Thats sooo nieve Mr. Obama. Can't you stop being so hopeful and looking for all these peaceful loopholes to jump through. Its insane to even entertain the thought that anything might be resolved without a war! I don't care if France hates us. Who is France anyway. We saved them in WWII. You're constant calm in the face of adversity is very sexist and will result in major loss of US casualties and the war you will not prematurely start with nations around the world. STOP THE INSANITY

thank god!

I would love Edwards at AG.

I have always liked Barack Obama's "presidential demeanor" and his sincerity. I do think he will think very seriously about a VP – one who has some of his characteristics.

Of course, IF he chooses Hillary Clinton, I (a 77-year-old white woman) will not vote for anyone in November. I am certain many thousands will follow me. My main concern is my eight grandchildren. I do not want them to have to deal with "old trash" in the White House.

Obama, his supporters, the DNC, the party elite, and the mainstream media have conspired to marginalize the millions of Democrats who have voted for Hillary, and they will now be using every trick in the book to "bring the party together" to further their ruthless ambitions. They will want you to forget all about the months of biased press, the biased party elite, the insults, the sexist remarks, and the race-cards. They will want you to forget that the Democratic Party now is the party that stands for disenfranchisement of the voters and the rationalization of racism. They will use any method to persuade you to vote for the man who they have preordained as the Democratic nominee. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

Edwards is hedging his bets. He doesn't want to team up with another loser and relive 2004 all over again. He's giving his support because it's popular in the party right now, but he knows BO won't hit the magic number of 270 in the electoral college.

This makes it sound like Obama asked him and was rejected.

I say no to being Obama's VP. Is that news? Are you going to print a story for everyone who hasn't been offered the job, and says that they wouldn't do it?

Who would want that humiliation? OBIE's Running Mate?
Your options must be limited!

ALL YOU SO CALLED HILLARY SUPPORTERS WHO ARE BASHING OBAMA NEED TO WAKE UP!!!!!!!! DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD REALLY SUPPORT YOUR IGNORRANCE? OR EVEN BE FLATTERED? WE AS DEMOCRATS NEED TO UNITE. COME NOVEMBER, YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF, CAN YOU SURVIVE 4 MORE YEARS OF "BUSH POLITICS". I DON'T THINK ANY OF US CAN.

SAY NO TO McCAIN!

I love John Edwards. For me too he will be A.G. I like Biden @ VP, Clark @ Defence and .. what about keeping Condy as Secretary of State?

Good for you John Edwards, the next Attorney General of the United States under President Obama. OBAMA 08/12

Connie

Gosh I wish Edwards could be persuaded. He would be perfect! He's probably learned a lot since his last stint as a VP candidate, and he would do much better this time around. He's more polished, more confident, more bold, more knowledgeable. And of course he is able to attract important demographics Obama is not. They match each other so well.

C'mon Edwards, c'mon!

Mr. Edwards has been saying this for many months now! Why do people keep asking?

Move on!

I'm disappointed, but he will make a great attorney general.

I support obama but still have some doubt about him overcoming republican machine this fall, if he faills, pat yourselves on the shoulder all his supporters who enjoy compromising his chances by allienating clintons supporter who would have voted for obama.If you really have any common sense as you all had claimed, you should understand by now that the stake has never been higher , obama is humble,patients and choses his words carefully ,here we have his suppoters creating havoc and causing mounting problems for him in the name of fans, do you guys really care about him the way you treat clinton and her supporters, guess not, he is for a change if you guys really understand what change is all about, if only you so called his zealous supporters know how much humiliation your comments have caused him. shame on you all,if you still have any sense I mean common one, you should help by bringing the party back as he has been tirelessly working on,House divided is a housed defeated.

I understand that the "whitey" tape rumors are rampant
so are the rumors of the choir director's murder from Trinity only in this past december, there are many many rumors
now the proof will be in the pudding wont it, if they are not true, then
they arent, if they are true, millions have be led on a blind race, all that money and all that momentum not even mentioning of the "historic"
moment just made, I just find it troubling that this obama drama
just will not go away. Maybe if it is once and for all silenced as lies and rumors only, then maybe i could have a little faith, but that said
I feel like you cant write how you would stand with your Islamic brothers and then stand in front of the Jewish delegations and say you are 100% their friends as well, where is the line drawn? What is the truth, that is my issue with this man

And really thats what this election is about to me, Obama is but one man a figure head. What is more important to me is that by no means there are no remnants of the current adminstration, because if you don't think McCain wouldn't tap into the Bush admin your kidding yourself.

Obama and the Dems 08!

Any first rate Democrat can see the writing on the wall and will stay as far away from Obama as possible. He will lose in the fall. Especially without the vote of millions of disillusioned democrats like myself who will not support him. The upside of it though, it should be fun to watch the republicans rip him and his wife to shreds during the coming months. Should be great entertainment!!

Too bad…Edwards was my first choice an this would have been a WINNING team.

I tried to express my analysis on how Obama was going to be the nominee but CNN never published that. I'm fine with that as I cannot change their policy/agenda. Also, I don't think this one will be published.

Obamabots hate against Clinton is not going off. They're, not all, hot-headed and short-sighted. Then why is Obama begging for Clinton's supports. I don't think Clinton should jump on a sinking Obama-boat. Edwards know that very well. Try Richardsons, you'll get a minority ticket, recipe for disaster. Here goes Dems again!

> HILLARY CAN COME BACK IN 4 YEARS AND WIN!

Funniest thing I read all year.

HE NEEDS TO PICK HILLARY OR HE ILL LOOSE, AS A HILLARY SUPORTER I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN IF SHE IS NOT ON THE TICKET!!

HILLARY 2012

OBAMA WILL LOOSE IN NOVEMBER IF HILLARY IS NOT ON THE TICKET!!

Can you people not spell?

'Loser' not 'looser'

'Lose' not 'loose'

Signed,

Hilari Klintin

I DO not think Edwards would ever want to serve on a ticket with Hillary. As you might have observed during the primaries, Edwards felt much closer to Obama than to Hillary. My sense is that Edwards, Obama, Byden, and most of the others simply DO NOT share the values of the Clintons. These people know the Clintons very well, and none has come out to support her. They will never serve on a ticket with her. I share in their values, thus I will no longer support any Clinton in my life. They betrayed my trust and respect before they left office, and have continued to do the same!

James above,

You sound like a white man refusing to vote for a black man regardless of intellignece, capabilities, common sense, good judgment, fairness and other many, many, good qualities, which are representative of Barack Obama.

Edwards! You know what? You're a gentleman. You back Obama because you've found him a Man, not pushed by selfish interests. Teach Hillary, too. Go Obama 08

This whole VP pick for both parties will be like a chess game because it is quite important. And it should be. It may determine who gets elected! I already hear a lot of people aren't going to vote because THEIR candidate is not in the picture. Come on folks, get out there and vote!!!

To all of you brilliant political minds out there who say
"HILLARY SHOULD RUN AS INDEPENDENT AND WIN!"

That is the worst idea I've ever heard.
1) The general election would then probably go 30% Obama, 20% Clinton, 50% McCain. It would guarantee a McCain win.
2) By thus ensuring a McCain win, the Democratic party would totally break all ties with her and she'd lose many an ally in her own future personal goals.

Best thing she can do is not run as VP (for many reasons) and tell her supports to back behind the democratic party and Obama.

Help Obama win and then Obama can put her in a high level position where she can make national-level change (maybe she can finish her goal of health care reform). It's her best bet.

Also, America, please don't be whiney kids and go voting for McCain if you don't see Hillary on a ticket. If you care about stances on issues and having similar minded people in positions of power (i.e. Democrat Obama can nominate Democrat Supreme Court Judges) then vote democrat and not republican to futher push old bush-era agendas.

The End.

YOU HATERS GET OVER IT. IF O.B. PICKS HRC ,ITS BECAUSE HE KNOWS SHE IS THE BEST . YOU KEEP HATING ON THE CLINTONS , YOUR CANIDATE O.B. WILL LOOSE EVERYTHING. UNITY IS PEACE AND TOGETHERNESS , NOT HATE WHAT YOU O.B. SUPPORTERS BRING. THATS WHY O.B. AND HRC MET SECRETLY. THEY DIDN'T WANT THE BIAS MEDIA ,OR YOU HATERS TO KNOW. ITS HIS DECISSION. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY AND CANIDATE, YOU BETTER START GIVING CREDIT AND RESPECT WHERE ITS DO FOR (HRC) AND HER SUPPORTERS. O.B. KNOWS HE NEEDS HER AND MAY EVEN PUT BILL IN A CABINET,POSSIBLE FOREIGN AFFAIRS ,WHICH BILL CLINTON NOWS ALOT ABOUT. ITS TIME FOR YOU HATERS TO GET A LIFE AND GET PAST YUR BIAS, AND HATE. THIS COUNRY NEEDS BOTH HRC AND O.B. TOGETHER.

Pretty sure John wasn't going to be picked anyways… Guess he's opting out so he won't have to be rejected.

TO BAD!!!!! BUT NO WAY FOR CLINTON TO BE HIS VP !!! THIS WOULD TAKE HIM DOWN AND MABEY THAT IS WHAT THE ARE THE CLINTONA IS TRYING TO DO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF OBAMA TAKE HER FOR VP .IT IS OVER FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!

You democrats are really something. All you do is figure out ways to shoot yourself in the foot. You are finally done with the primary and have a chance to finally go after the republican candidate one on one and all you do is make news about the VP. All I hear on these blogs is how he should pick this person, and I am not voting for him if he picks that person. You shouldn't even be allowed to call yourselves a party.

Veronica,nj:

I fully agree with you with your comments. Let add to that the ever increasing "jobless rate."

Edwards is smart. Leaves his options open for 2012 when the Democrats try to win back the WH.

smart man

I love all the people that accuse Edwards of being an ambulance chaser. Does anyone care to get me ANY specifics on the cases he was apart of? People are so ignorant and will repeat anything they hear when they know NOTHING about his former career as a trial lawyer!!

They look good together………………

Why are you racist people afraid to have an African American for President? Hillary lost fair and square. So stop hate'n on Obama. He just ran a great campaign. Give him credit. He didn't do any "mud" slinging like Hillary. If the delegates and superdelegates didn't think he could win he would not have been the nominee. Why is there so much hate toward Obama. Out of all the candidates he was treat much more harsh. "Someone was going to loose and someone was going to win" Obama WON!

He will be President in 2008 it's God's Plan

Obama/Edwards would be a Loser/Loser ticket.

Hey, have you seen the lastest RNC ad?
Edwards, Biden, and both Clintons are dissing
Obama as being unready to lead. Edwards says all Obama can do is give speeches. LOLOL

It's a gem.

"O" has got to go.

For God's sake, can't the Obama-haters here finally give this decent man your respect and the worthy credit that is due him for running a magnificent and successful campaign? Other than being born a Black man and winning a political campaign against a formidable White female opponent, what has Obama ever done in his life that's so terrible to some of you?

Why can some of you simply wish Obama Godspeed for a closely fought victory, even if you didn't vote for him or are still not sure you'll vote for him in the GE? Give it a rest already people!!

Smart move John Edwards….I wouldn't want to be on a loosing ticket either!

i bet shes holding on to her delegates shes gonna help mccain do dirty things on obama shes so deperate to be president she will do anything i thinks shes proven that poor obama not only does he have to fight mccain but hillary too thats sad!!!!

COME ON JOHN!!

I wish you would be our president, but we will be happy if you take VP.

John Edwards…he endorsed Obama but probably wishes now he didn't. Edwards already proclaimed on talk shows his interest only is in helping the poor and other charity work. He said he has no aspirations for political office. I think Edwards only endorsed Obama to get his campaign debt covered. The night Edwards endorsed Obama..Edwards body language was sort of strained when he embraced with Obama and his face looked stiff. Something wasn't right between these two that night.

But I just want to add that I'm not surprised Edwards is turning it down. I've always said, I think Obama is gonna find it difficult to find a willing running mate.

Dear Ashamed:

The train has room for all who share the same goal, getting Obama elected. WELCOME!!!

I am rooting for Edwards as Attorney General….He said no to VP but was coy when asked whether he would like to be the AG….

Caroline Kennedy is on the VP scoping team? Please explain that to me. Hillary had "no" experience as a wife of a president so how does the daughter of a president, who barely knew her dad able to get such a decisive role? The obsession with the Kennedy's is cultlike.

I'd love to see Edwards on Obamas ticket. I think they would make a great team and hope he's considered and that he reconsiders his position on a VP slot.

I would hate to see Obama select Clinton for a running mate. I think if he were to do so and was elected, he'd be too distracted trying to keep the Clintons out of the Oval office they are so familiar with and comfortable in, to do a proper job. And since I actually liked Bill Clinton as a President, I think that pretty much says it all.

Ashamed, there is always room! I can understand when something that was hard fought is done, but the issues you were fighting for are still on the table. So I say, welcome.

People..people..Edwards has his wife to worry about. Lets have some understanding here.

Good for you John. Family comes first no matter what.

Yes Edwards who be the idea one for Attorney General.

I am sorry but I do not trust the Clinton's for sure on last night I thought she was sitting him up for a bullet. She might be great in areas of the Sen and does a wonderful job.

However, her selfishness and ego is to strong and this lost was a shock to her gigantic EGO. Maybe she is holding to her delegates hoping that June will be the end of Obama. Again I am sorry, but I seen a part of her that is dangerous.

Barack ain't gettin' 270 EV in Nov. At the end, the only number that matters is 270. Leave it to the democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory…once again. It's all about the electoral college, stupid. When would you (finally) learn lessons from the '00 & '04 presidential elections? (rhetorical Q' of course)…PS: See you in 4 yrs, John.

For all those people that do not want HIllary for VP, sounds to me like you all are gender bias. It is a sad day for the rights of women.

Maria, not one of your reasons has to do with Obama and his actions in office. What are the lies and untruths he has told? Saying it without backing is weak. And listing those people except Michelle? How don't you just list everyone who has ever walked within 100 feet of him? The DNC did not give him anything. If you really want to know the truth about what happenin that meeting on Saturday, do the research. They could have ruled to give both Clinton and Obama 50/50 since the Michigan primary was invalid, but the Obama team in the spirit of unity excepted the 69/59. He had the votes… And didn't the superdelegate give Clinton a lead in the beginning? Was that handing it to her. Don't insult both of these candidates by discounting their hard work.

What I don't understand people are not talking about the issues. I came here to comment about Edwards and was distracted by that nasty comment.

I think Edwards already knows the position he wants. Also, he probably feels like he's been there and done that for the VP.

As great a ticket as Obama/Edwards would be, I'm going to guess that Edwards has a vision for what he wants for America. I'm going to guess that being the VP isn't where he feels he can be most effective. And, I think it's great that he recognizes that, rather than going for the "glory" of being the Vice President.

There is no surprise coming for Obama. Hillary just has really bad manners and she's in denial. She corrected her error the next day, and congratulated Obama (after the DNC leadership reprimanded her). She's holding on to her delegates for a short time, until she wraps things up. The delegates, by the way, don't mean anything anymore. Obama won. The convention is a rubber stamp of what has just happened. Those delegates will vote for who they've been instructed to vote for. If there's going to be any cheap tricks, it will be at the Democratic convention, but I seriously doubt the DNC will allow Hillary to pull any fast ones. There are millions of people watch this, and it would ruin the Democratic Party's chance in November if that were to happen (trust in the process would be gone).

"I, ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF VOTERS, WILL RATHER SEE MCCAIN WIN THE ELECTION THAN A LIAR AND A HYPOCRITE. "

This quote from above made me giggle. Apparently it was typed with no apparent sense of irony.

I have learned that there are many Republicans posing as angry Clinton supporters trying to keep us divided. Do not believe it. There are some Repubs who are desparate and will try anything because they know they are toast this year. They think we are dumb enough to vote McCain in because of their bogus posts. Democrats will be united in November! Get ready for defeat McCain, Bush, Cheney and the politics of the past! It is going to happen. Accept it now or later, it really doesn't matter.

. I don't blame the Republicans, I blame the DNC, and the news media for Bashing Hillary, and I will vote for Sen John Mccain in nov.
.The left wing of the DEMS is highjaking our party, and i just can't stay with a party that hates women. The old party elites need a lesson.

. CNN please post this.

To an Ohia combet Vet Observation–

That's why we are currently in this mess with the terrible minds of the likes of you folks. Everything you just said sounds like you just support the republican party no matter how crappy they are. You must have voted for GWB twice!! Keep quiet or be a good soldier and just go to war when we tell you too. Leave the thinking to the minds of this country.

Edwards was my first choice 5 years ago. I can understand him not wanting to do VP again. But my wife and I think Attorney General would be FANTASTIC! Robert Kennedy bucked his own family going after organized labor and crime. He also enforced civil rights more vigorously than anyone before him. I get a feeling Edwards could be the next Robert Kennedy in that role.

The foreclosure rate is the highest ever…gas prices are skyhigh…and WE ARE AT WAR!!!!

whoever votes republican is mental!!!!!

Ohio Combat Vet-
As the parent of a Marine, I must object to your comment. I have far more faith in Obama than any other candidate. He is clearly not a quitter as this grueling race has proven so far. Further, Obama supports healthcare benefits and an opportunity for a college education for my son, who will be truly deserving of those benefits when he returns home from this ill-gotten war. I, as an Independent voter, wholeheartedly support Barack Obama and his vision of a truly free and just America, all the way to the White House.

Obama v McCain

I heard the same thing. What it is, is that the republicans say they have a video of Obama's wife(Michelle Whitey Video) saying some thing about caucasian people. But I think she was talking about Bush in general. This is what she said:

Why’d he cut folks off medicaid?
Why’d he let New Orleans drown?
Why’d he do nothing about Jena?
Why’d he put us in Iraq for no reason?

This is what the replubicans and Fox News(Hanity especially)want everybody to hear:

Whitie cut folks off medicaid?
Whitie let New Orleans drown?
Whitie do nothing about Jena?
Whitie put us in Iraq for no reason?

I hope if they come out with a tape like his , that the amercian people will see through the lies.

Obama/Schwarzenegger 2008

I agree….don't beat up Hillary supports. There is nothing wrong with them. Stand together people.

Don't put HRC or Edwards on ticket..each is a rat.

I think Edwards would be a fine VP. But the country doesn't seem to think so, and perhaps he sees that he could do more harm than good to the campaign, since the country didn't even want him as a nominee.

I can certainly understand why John Edwards doesn't want the VP slot run under Senator Obama. He's been there and done that already. However, I strongly feel that Edwards would be an excellent US Attorney General in an Obama Administration. He's not only a "working persons" and a "man of the people" kind of guy. But he’s a very decent man who has strong honesty traits and strong moral integrity.

We'll need John Edwards to clean up the legal mess that Bush and his lackeys have done to our justice systems and with their skewed interpretations of the Constitution. Welcome Mr. Edwards…you are much desired and would be most welcomed on the "Obama Express"!

Obama/Sebelius for 2008 OR Obama/Richardson for 2008

Some of the femmenists on this board are quite hyterical..get a grip and take it easy on the Obama-hating..you make HRC out to be some kind of village warlord with you idiots as her tribal leader..

BTW: go and vote McCain, you will only be putting in conservatives in teh Supreme Court to turn over Roe v Wade…

Your comment is awaiting moderation. (No, actually it's "Your comment has been obliterated – again!)

An Obama/Clinton ticket would STILL be an Obama ticket, and that would NEVER work for me. The ultra-liberal DNC and back-stabbing, rule-breaking superdelegates can have him (and that goes for you, too, Edward!)
So, since Hillary Clinton (a MODERATE Democrat, like me) now seems to be out of the race for president, my money and vote go to Senator McCain, a MODERATE Republican. He is now the only genuinely "vetted" leader left in the general election.
And if ANY of you Obama folks think that OBAMA will end the Iraq war overnight, you are REALLY living in a dream world. He won't; he can't; nobody can – so it's just more empty rhetoric. It has to be done gradually and responsibly (at least Senator Clinton has ALWAYS used the word "responsibly." And by the way, just watch how THAT word will suddenly also become a part of Senator Obama's political lexicon.
Senator McCain is NOT George Bush. If Bush were running right now, I would NOT vote for him, just as I didn't the last 2 times. McCain is a genuine American hero and has seen the horrors of war first hand. HE will continue what is necessary — THE RIGHT WAY — to bring this war to a sound conclusion.
And what continues to annoy the heck out of me is that Senator Obama so dishonorably played on the theme that he didn't vote for the war. Of course not — he wasn't yet in the Senate when that vote took place. At least to me, pretty much eveything he has said has been that way. I think that's why people continue to say, "I just don't trust him."

I hope Obama picks Richardson so it can really seal the deal that he WON'T get my vote. I actually like Edwards.

Only way I vote for Obama is if Hillary is VP BUT for the record, I hope he doesn't offer it to her or she turns it down.

Bottom line, Obama and Hillary are very similar on the issues but far apart in my book as far as being trustworthy and their capabilities.

I don't completely trust Obama and don't feel like he is yet capable of running the country.

My vote is going to McCain. He is not the 3rd Bush term. He is a decent, good man with a track record of being able to work with Dems across the aisle.

I surmise many other Clinton supporters will do the same if Hillary is not the VP. And I hope that is the case. That will teach the Dems to disenfranchise 2 states and insult and demean a respected, well-loved party leader in Hillary Clinton.

Edwards would be great as Attorney General. Love the idea after the last few scoundrels…

Edwards is a loser who caved in to the establishment. No One wants him, he wil always be #2

OBAMA SUPPORTERS: QUIT BEATING ON HILLARY CLINTON.
SHE HAS 18 MILLION SUPORTERS. YOU ALIENATE THEM AND OBAMA LOSES.

I agree with you Obama vs. McCain, something does not smell right. I got that impression on Tuesday night when there was no concession speech from HRC. I also dont understand why she does not release her delegates. If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, ITS A RAT! The only way I would feel better about it if she releases here delegates and backs Obama like a true Democrat should do in uniting this party instead of still fuming over a loss.

The reason he doesn't want to run any more is in case his wife's cancer comes out of remission.

Good, I don't think Obambi is worthy of Edwards or Clinton. Obama isn't worthy of being VP.

He is a disgrace to this country and should take his self-righteous and self-absorbance to Africa where he seems to have greater respect and values.

This Clinton supporter, white male, will never forget how he and his followers have insulted and bullied their way with disregard for fairness and humane actions and will work my hardest to see that McCain wins in November. If Obama wins I will hope he fails beyond belief – YES, just to prove our point that Hillary was the better choice thrown to the curb. I will never forget the childish and disgusting 'flip of the finger' Obambi gave to Hillary – how Bush like.

Don't give up Hillary – Hope to see you in 2012

Since Barack Obama has repeatedly said that he wants to turn the page on the way Washington D.C. has run things for the last 20 years, it is incumbent upon him to select a Vice-President that is not part of the existing Congress.

He has to look to a state governor, past or current, in making this serious choice. Let me suggest Mark Warner of Virginia, former Governor of Virginia who is currently running for U.S. Senator from that State. I believe the two of them will make for a winning ticket come November.

He'll spend the rest of his life running for prez……and will magically appear to fight poverty every 4 years.

Good two pretty boys would not be good

I would happily settle for Senator Edwards as Attorney General – just so long as he is 'there somewhere'. He is a gentleman who would fit very nicely into the Obama Team for change.

I'm sad he won't do it again – THAT would be my dream ticket. Hopefully, he'll have one of the cabinet positions. We need him fighting for us.

It's OK. John! Thank you for your love and support to Obama!

Also – we know you will be working for Obama once he starts to select his staff!

Best wishes to you and your family!

I do not blame John Edwards for saying 'no'.

Although John Edwards is a terrific person with a terrific story to tell, Obama must find someone best suited for him and his vision. The problem with picking someone who ran for president – Gov. Richardson too – is that each brings his/her own set of values to the table. Their own sense of where the country should be through their own eyes – that is what they each hoped would propel the nod for nominee. To ask Obama to take any one of the former candidates as a VP would put Obama's vision in contrast with the former candidate. Take Clinton as an example. Although both she and Obama's idea on health care is similar, their over all plan is different making one contrast with the other – a challenge to decide which is best. Thus, Obama needs to pick a supporter who shares the vision rather than contrasts it. I personally do not see any one of the Democratic candidates being picked as VP. Romantic as it may be to think otherwise, Obama will probably pick someone like him.

And as for this "October Surprise" that a prior blogger wrote, the theory of that castrophic event happening is much like me telling anyone the world is going to end tomorrow at 2:44pm – it would be political suicide for Clinton to suggest anything like that and would run her out of the Senate and probably the country for ever.

I don't think Kerry would choose Edwards again……I think it has something to do with being phony.

We get it! He's doesn't want to go down that route again. Let's MOVE ON CNN!

Hillary's cunning tactics to "HELP" obama in any manner is a dirty plan…otherwise, she was releasing her delegates just like John Edwards demonstrated. Obama has gracious act to meet her in private…but Hillary's gang is secretive, viscious, cunning and wants to steal his presidency through a very immoral way….shame on Hillary.

OBAMA 2008..

I suspect Obama will have a hard time finding someone to run as VP; after all, he is less qualified to be President than most candidates. Few of those more qualified will want to be the underling of the less qualified. If Clinton agrees to be the VP candidate (and I hope she doesn't), it will be for the good of the country. Few people are that magnanimous.

Yes, John Edwards would be an awesome Attorney General. He has one of the best legal minds in the US and he would stand up to injustice any and every where he would find it.

Totally agree with EBC's comment above

I don't care WHO is Obama's VP….he will never get my vote. I have heartily supported Hillary in this primary, but even if she is the VP candidate, Obama still will NOT get my vote. It will go to McCain.

Why don't I want Obama as president? No experience. No track record. Way too liberal. A bunch of lies and untruths. Rezko. Wright. Ayers. Pfleger. Farrakhan. Michelle the Mouth. And others…and more…..too.

YOU ARE KNOWN BY THE COMPANY YOU KEEP AND THE CHOICES YOU MAKE. I don't like what I see. At all.

Also, I am totally disgusted at how the DNC and the MSM have hustled Obama into the candidacy. He didn't "win" or "earn" it….it was handed to him on a silver platter by the DNC and superdelegates.

No Abomination in the Presidency!

Join Citizens for McCain…..save our country from Obama!

Good decision Mr. Edwards for not contending for the VP spot with Obama. It will be devastating to lose again.

McCain 2008!!!

The Attorney General is the highest ranking law enforcement officer in the United States. John Edwards has no experience with criminal law– he's a civil lawyer. The AG must have a background in criminal law. He's not qualified.

There is no future for Sen. Obama without Sen. Hillary.

Sen. Obama needs to face reality.

Well, this is no surprise. Hillary Clinton has EVERY right to keep her delegates intact. We still don't know what will happen in the near future but I still have hope that Senator Clinton will eventually become the nominee. There are still loads of stuff we DO NOT KNOW about Barack Obama. Only time will tell. Keep fighting Senator Clinton all the way to Denver. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This may be his year to get into the white house if he runs, but regardless, I think Obama will give him a cabinet position anyway.

Edwards is angling for attorney general, not vice president

Edwards would be an honest Attorney General, something we have not had in 7 years!
Hillary would be a tremendous Sec. of State-an even more important job than VP.
Re: the status of her campaign-Romney only suspended his campaign too-where's the conspiracy theory about that? You people have too much time on your hands.
If you really want to worry, worry about this: Bush has had in place an Executive Order allowing him to declare martial law and suspend elections in the event of a national crisis. If you want to think about an October surprise-it will come from the White House, and it won't be pretty.
Also, where is the uproar about his lying? More and more evidence is being produced about what they knew, when, and what they said in direct denial of the facts to sell the war! This is treason! You self-righteous Republicans who are on Clinton's case all the time about stupid Monica should be ashamed that there is any support at all for Bush…he should be in prison! IMPEACH NOW!

One more thing, some of her delegates are already converting to Obama.

OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT IN 'O8 SO FACE IT!

WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU IT IS FOR YOU AND NO MAN CAN STOP GOD'S PLAN….NO MAN. GOD WILL MAKE YOU ENEMIES YOUR FOOT STOOL.

an honorable name. other former candidates could take a lesson from this

Obama vs. McCain, why wait till August/October? That doesn't make any sense at all. Maybe YOU are hoping for some bomb to drop.

Have we really lived through eight years of Bush only to play roulette now with the presidency of the United States?

In 2000, Bush was an inexperienced and unqualified candidate with lofty slogans (“I’m a uniter, not a divider”), whose supporters voted for him because of what they thought he represented rather than because of anything in his career that suggested he was really qualified for the office.

In 2008, Obama is an inexperienced and unqualified candidate with lofty slogans (“Change we can believe in” & “Yes we can”), whose supporters vote for him because of what they think he represents rather than because of anything in his career that suggests he is really qualified for the office.

The Republicans got lucky with their nominee. McCain will bring the Republicans out of the wilderness of a 14-year tyranny of Neo-Conservative nonsense and its misuse and abuse of power (Neo-Conservatism, 1994-2008 B.I.H.). The Democratic leaders and the mob that they have stirred up for their own interests, on the other hand, got stupid. The bag of tricks that Obama used to weasel his way off with our party’s nomination–which he combined with some opportunism from among weak Democratic Party super delegates who want to diminish Clinton's power–won’t help him in the general election.

By nominating Barack Obama through a shady process of selection conducted by party leaders, we have condemned ourselves to a lose/lose proposition. Even if he wins, we lose.

Goodbye, my party that has betrayed itself and us all.

Witness the Rise of the McCain Democrats.

CITIZENS FOR McCAIN ’08

We will remeber what you did after west verginia. You did not respect Hillary' win…. as results No Obama and we will wait for Hillary on 2012. Sad McCain will win

Mr. Edwards,
take your time, I think you guys will make a perfect match.

Moses, Ca.

I believe in John Edwards, always have and always will. While I sincerely believe an Obama-Edwards ticket would be unstoppable, I do respect John and his not wanting the VP position. Don't like it, but have to accept it. He will be great in a cabinet position. And, yes I too think he is the most honest politician we've seen in a very long time. He is so young and there is still much time for there to be a President Edwards. Think down the road to 2012 or 2016. Not that far off.

John
Who asked yiou anyway?
Go back to NC

GOOD becuz John Edwards will always be a loser

Everyone knows that Edwards wants the Attorney General spot. This is not news.

Oh please get this VP and loose … You are not right that why you will loose

Is alright that you don't want to be a VP Mr. Edwards. But we still love you.

Yes and there are also big surprises for McCain as Well. Either way a democrat will be in office.

I really hope Edwards is in his cabinet. He has done wonderful works for the common person during his tenure as a trial lawyer.

Smart man, to stay away what ultimately will be a sunken ship. No need to drag down his reputations.

Obama could not find a better VP than Edwards. His humility and unifying attitude is next only to Obama's. On the other hand, Hillary is a self centered person.

I was shocked by one of her supporter's comments that Hillary is the best candidate not only for Dems, nor American people but for the whole world.

One question: If the lady can not even put a party's interest first before her personal agenda, how can she be of use to the whole world??? This coming from somebody who is not American.

I am grateful that he has declined because I do not see that as a strong ticket for the DEMS and I appreciate the fact that he FINALLY came out and gave his support.

The VP must be one of sure confidene and be tenacious at times and know how to stay humble at times. I don't see Edwards as this type of guy.

Go DEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMSSSSS!!!!!!!

I've heard all about the Michele Obama purported tape. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess.

I'm glad John Edwards is focusing on his family at this time; it's the right thing to do. I wish his family well.

All this VP talk is getting out of hand. Sheesh.

Where's Bill Clinton? He needs to tell everyone to "chill out."

I would like to see John Edwards as Attorney General.
Hillary as Secretary of State.

You cannot say "no" for something you have not been offered.

John Edwards is a hypocrite. He can endorse Obama until he's blue in the face but he won't be on the ticket with him? Edwards main goal in endorsing Obama was to ensure a Clinton loss. What he helped to ensure was a republican win in November. Perhaps he figured he'd have a shorter period to wait before running for President, yet again…

Old news, and I'm sure wasn't even in their top 3 anyways. Some names to look for are Kathleen Sebelius, Chuck Hagel, and Mark Warner.

John…you can't decline a job you weren't offered.

i sure hope there is no august october surprise and that hillary isnt as calculating as this scenario presents, because if that is the case, then she really is a monster, and barack neednt have fired his foreign policy specialist for telling the truth. could anyone really be that evil?

Obama v McCain: you are SOOOO far off base!

The reason she is "keeping" her delegates is because he is simply suspending her campaign. By doing so, it still gives her the chance to pay off her debts. That's all.

Stop with the conspiracy stories.

May God abundantly bless you & your family.
I echo EBC's sentiment

Exactly – a cabinet position. Attorney General's the obvious position for John Edwards. But I could imagine Labor or Health & Human Services as well.

A VOTE FOR OBAMA = A VOTE FOR JERIMIAH WRIGHT, TONY REZKO, WILLIAM AYERS AND FATHER PFLAEGER.

DO YOU WANT THESE PEOPLE IN OUR WHITE HOUSE BECUASE THAT'S WHERE THEY WILL BE IF YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA.

HIS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE PEOPLE SHOW HIS VERY BAD JUDGEMENT.

SAY NO TO OBAMA

It is quite disquieting to see such a qualified person remove their name from the potential VP list. Here was a man who would have provided the perfect balance for Sen Obama and would have been a wise second voice.
But alas, this is politics, his mind may change. It would be a good thing for Mr. Edwards to be in an important position within the Obama administration. A strong politician with grace, integrity and experience.

Obama/Edwards '08 & '12

Edwards is a noble man. Too bad he is not interested.

PLEASE do not pick Hillary for VP – this will contradict everything Obama's campaign stands for. After her lack of recognition that Obama is actually our nominee, is she really someone that he can trust as VP? Her ego will not permit a 2nd spot.

She is keeping her delegates because anything could happen between now and August, and besides that, even if her delegates were given to obama, none of us could stomach voting for him. Hillary 2012

what a great attorney general he would make

"obama v McCain" – do you HONESTLY believe there is ANYTHING out there on Obama that the Clinton machine didn't already dig up and sling at him.

I think her "RFK" comment explains all we need to know about why she won't release her delegates. Stop your scare politics.

Edwards, you're a coward who betrayed your own principles by endorsing that weasel. You've let us all down.

CITIZENS FOR McCAIN '08
Vote YES to a moderate Republican who is qualified for the office

Who wants him anyway? He couldn't even carry his own state. He is a do nothing candidate.

I guess you know Obama is a loser in the presidency like your good ol buddy Kerry. Why make the same mistake twice.

Attorney General – John Edwards
Vice President – Kathleen Sebelius

Defense Sec. – Sam Nunn
Transportation/Energy Sec. – Al Gore
Treasury – Micheal Bloomberg
Education Sec. – Bob Cary
Sec. State – Bill Richardson
Veterans Affrs. – Max Cleland
Homeland Security – abolish this joke
Interior/Agriculture Sec. – Tom Daschle
Commerce/Labor – Bill Gates
Health and Human Services – Dr. Howard Dean
Housing and Urban Dev. – Joe Manchin

First Vacancy on Supreme Crt. – Hillary Clinton
Second Vacancy Supreme Crt. – Kathleen Kennedy Townsend
Third Vacancy Supreme Court – Harry Reid

Now THAT would be a dream ticket…

the reason she can not release is financial reasons, she is in debt and if she realease her delgates she can not raise money to pay her bills. Duh!!!!!! It is not the vile, hatefulled reason obama supporters want to make out to be. The other reason is an historic one, to have her name submitted at the convention as the First Women in History to have her name submitted which for all little girls growing up can see that a Women has gotten far though we still have a long wait to go. So Stop attacking her all the time and use that energy to elect Obama, he did not get a big bump in the polls as expected this is going to be a very tight race so put your engery there, something good instead of all this hate.

Senator Edwards has DEEP respect for Senator Obama and they understand that Edwards is best in a position to do greater things in a non-VP slot. Edwards has boosted Obama to record numbers and his supporters have rallied around OBAMA. I love it! Others should take judicial notice…

Attorney General Edwards, let's roll!!

I strictly beg, it needs to be you on the lower end of the ticket John Edwards. You alone can compliment Barack and bring him to victory. You are both remarkle men with the similar interest, and someone who can play part of Baracks ideas of change. They don't see his substance, like you and I do, they just see his youth and inexperience. I would rather someone who taught constitutional law and swears to abide by it in office than a war hero looking to create more war and not resolve peace in the middle east. Hillary will have a place in Health Care Administration, and she will be very happy with that as I think we all will be. Please step up for this time of urgency, and take your role as vice president.

Obama and Edwards would win 2008

EBC- Ditto

I'm a Republican and will vote for McCain in November, but I deeply respect John Edwards and the principles he stands for. Thank goodness he won't be on the ticket with Obama because that would have sealed the deal for the Dems in November. There's not a lot of well known young respected politicians like Edwards out there. No Obama supporters, Barack isn't one; not even close.

Obama/McCain, are you really that naive? Do you really think there is
something out there and the Clintons knew about it and would not have used to get nominated? And don’t tell me about another RV Wright because people knew about it; the Obama campaign knew about it, the media knew about it but initially ignored it. There are people out there who, in pretense of a dark cloud around him are hiding their racist attitudes and I hope you are not one of them. The man run a great campaign; give him credit for it.

I would like to let the rest of the world what most are thinking about the what your station did to Hillary Clinton, which she did not get near the exposure that they gave to Obama, well I do not care to watch a station who is so one sided. I will not vote for Obama , I will go to the poles to vote for John McCain and I cannot stand him, so you should know how I feel about what our elected -so-called delegates did to keep a woman out of the White House as president, she won that fair and square. And as for her husband, he should not be put in the middle of what his wife is doing. Bill Clinton has been put down since his name came into view to top political holders, well, boys if you cannot stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen and let a woman take over and do what the men cannot do at this time. I do not think black adds anything beautiful to our White House, comeon people stand up and speak how you feel at this time. JJJeffers

He would make a fine Attorney General, Secretary of State, or Poverty Czar

They both wear flag pins.

Senator Edwards has stated for quite some time that he does not want the VP spot and that he would like to be attorney general.

He would make a great attorney general. I believe that would be a great spot for him in the Obama administration.

To "Obama v McCain," I have to laugh whenever anyone posts anything about a candidate "releasing" their delegates. They don't OWN the delegates, they don't CONTROL the delegates. They might be able to ENCOURAGE or INFLUENCE the delegates to change their votes, but the delegates, once elected in the county/state conventions, can cast their votes HOWEVER THEY WANT!

Also, on this "August/October Surprise" issue, we've been hearing about this "new surprise" coming out about every other week during the primaries. If there was a surprise, it would already be out.

Hillary isn't going to encourage her delegates, tomorrow, to cast their vote for Obama, but that won't change the fact that he will get the appropriate number of votes at the convention and will then be the nominee in fact as well as in name right now. We can still be united as a party and have delegates cast their votes for Hillary at the convention. It would be a show of respect and support for the campaign she has run, and does not hurt anything in the grand scheme of things.

Stop the echo chamber and conspiracy theories. We've had enough of those, let's drive to the General!

Re: Obama v McCain:
I'm all a-twitter! There have been rumors for months about some bombshell awaiting Sen. Obama. Despite the general consensus about the media's role in the democratic primary, the media's only interest is reporting what will sell papers and increase viewership, and above all to scoop the competitor. The fact that there are rumors tells me the Repubs have nothing, because it would have been leaked by now. They're just trying to unsettle democrats and keep the specter of Obama's "secret past" alive to keep their own disaffected constituency interested. The chances are at least as good that McCain has a few juicy tidbits in his closet.

Finally I see a picture published on CNN.com where Hillary barely falls short of looking like a bitter obsolete old lady. Would it be because the Obama CNN crusade is very aware that Hillary is now a very much needed piece for Obama?

I think more will come out on obama, But you are dead wrong thinking mrs. clinton has anything to do with it! She may suspect something may be down the pike, but honestly with all the controversy surrounding this unknown, I expect theres loads of stuff we are gonna find out about obama, she is smart to hold onto her delegates anyway. It makes more of an impact if she turns them over at the convention. She will make history doing it. Mrs. Clinton is of great importance to this country and the dem party. I hope with all the blood sweat and tears she has put into her time serving our country, that at the very least, the people who did vote for obama (the superdelegates) mainly will just keep their mouths shut! She has done more for this country than obama ever has and poss ever could. So just let it be and get over yourselves. You won the delegates by supervotes only. She had a much better second half than first half of the election,and for those of you on board the obama express that should be sounding alarms. The super delegates what can you say. Old politics. choosing caroline kennedy to help with vp process. old politics( the oldest and most politically powerful family) real change there! Hes just not showing me! Mrs, Clinton needs to do what ever she needs to do, and Obama needs to woo clinton voters with some substance, they say his voters more intelletual, I think not. They voted on a dream. Clinton voters want answers!

Obama v McCain – you could not be more wrong, she is keeping her delegates, because it gives her the ability to continue to pay back her campaign debt…without keeping her deletegates she can no longer get campaign contributions as if she was still running.

Get your facts straight..

DEMOCRATS 08′
Obama 08′

If Hillary had even just a litte personal integrity she would release her delegates instead of pretending to support the Democratic nominee while still manipulating voter's for the nomination. The Clinton's ambition far exceeds any goodwill they may have for the people of the Country.

Talk about grace and character…the man is amazing.

Thank you John for knowing what you want and stating it. Thank you for having your Plan A and Plan B in place so the nation isn't left hanging. I know you will support Obama and the country will be stronger for it.

John is a great guy. I would have loved to see him as VP, but I respect his decision not to participate. I am, as always, amazed at his tact and seeming selflessness. All the best to him and his wonderful wife.

he likes to work for the people, issues of poverty and others….

so i am sure he will be in teh administration.
but

NO MORE CLINTONS please

John Edwards would be a wonderful vp choice. He would also be a devastatingly effective advocate for America as its attorney general. He understands corporate excess, he's been fighting it for years. He would be perfect to take on all the constitutional excesses Bush has imposed as attorney general. I'll be happy to see him in any position in an Obama presidency. Together, the two of them could change the world.

Edwards will make a GREAT AG!! RFK is one of his heros, so it's a natural for him.

BTW Obama & Edwards look like a great match, too bad…. Young blood over old wrinkles any day! When I go back to Iraq or Afghan. would I rather have someone who's 75 yrs. old fighting next to me or someone 23 yrs. old? Enuff Said McCain will probably have to take afternoon naps just to get right!

Obama 08!!!

Obama will take the 3am calls and still be up ready to put in work by 7am!

—to obama v mcain… June 6th , 2008 9:32 am ET:

and would you please tell us where you got that info???!!!!!!

Sorry, but shouldn't you be officially asked before you publicly deny something that was never offered to you. I find Mr. Edwards to be ambitious enough to want to be President, but with no personal cause or positioning to do so. He did not serve North Carolina as a senator, he rather immediately ran for President leaving our state without the representation he promised.

Get over yourself Obama v McCain. I highly doubt Hillary is still looking to be president. Why do you have to demonize her? I'm an Obama supporter, but talking about Hillary in this way is beyond disrespectful. If you had even an once of truth to what you're saying, we might listen to it. You're just here to inflame Hillary supporters to vote for McCain, luckily most of us won't buy into it.

I thik Caroline Kennedy should consider herself for VP slot. She is white, she is woman and she is Kennedy.
They can have all experianced secretaries to help. I am sure old Mccain will help with efforts to stop War and Clinton will be glad to help with healthcare and social security reforms.

Good for him. Aye!!

John Edwards is a good guy, but we absolutely loooooove Elizabeth at our house! I pray that one day she is completely cured of her illness and maybe then she can run for office…

it's hillary or i'm leaving the party

John Edwards would be an ideal match. I also think someone from the Clinton camp but not Hillary herself should be considered. Maybe Elizabeth Edwards instead, she is well liked among the female groups. But really this is up to Obama to decide and the selector to accept. I will stand with his decision, there doesn't seem to be a lack in good people to choose from. Why aren't we seeing anything about who McCain is choosing? Oh that's right, there really isn't much to pick from.

That is very foolish of Edwards. He should be VP. Attorney General is not the right job for him. I don't see him in charge of the FBI. Very foolish.

I think Obama has to pick a female VP. It is time for a woman to be in the White House and not as First Lady. This will give her 8 years to prove to the doubting men of America that she can be President. I think Hillary has too much baggage, including Bill, and their personalities don't seem to blend. I also can't see Hillary answering to anyone.

can't wait for the big August surprise..hopw their is one so we can have Hillary back where she belongs..the elite superdelegates chose Obama..we chose Hillary for our nominee..we the people voted for her..and the DNC stole it from her

He would be an AWESOME Attorney General and clean up the mess that is the U.S. Attorney's offices. I will say a prayer for that! Bless you Senator Edwards. Just remember, before we get excited about a cabinet we need to get President Obama elected (preferably by a LANDSLIDE).

Thank you Sir, you have served your country well; and again thanks for endorsing Senator Obama "Yes we can".

Media/CNN/Supper delegates Just handed the nomination to Nobmama.
He did not win it

I think this is a good thing. The whole nature of this campaign – change, hope and something new – is key to its success.

I don't think Obama will pick Hillary, either. He'll either go big with a pick like Nebraska's Chuck Hagel to send a message about reaching across the aisle or go with Richardson, for his experience and the latino vote. The long shot is that he'll go with a woman like Missouri's Claire McCaskill or Sebelius of Kansas.

Whatever he does, I am certain he'll do it with great reflection and carefully weighing out all the pros and cons. That's what I like about this guy – he's shown he has what it takes to make important decisions.

Those Clinton supporters who say they will vote for McCain so that Clinton can get the presidency in 2012 go far to make me more mysogenistic than I have ever been. Vindictiveness, I think, is a trait that has developed in the woman to a far greater extent than it could ever evolve in the male. You see evidence of this in Clinton and her supporters appear to make it even more clear. Schoepenhauer had it right more than 100 years ago. I wish Clinton would disappear.

Who asked him to be VP?

Edwards, are you willing to be the VP? No, no, really, are you willing? Seriously now, are you willing? You can tell us. Tell me, are you willing to be the VP? Are you willing to be the VP? Are you willing to be the VP? Are you willing to be the VP? Are you willing to be the VP? Are you willing to be the VP? Are you willing to be the VP? Are you willing to be the VP? Are you willing to be the VP?

Okay now, is the media satisfied yet?

I don't blame him. With his wife fighting cancer, he needs to take the time and support her while she heals. He would be a great guy for the job, but I could see him serving well as attorney general.

Listen everyone, Obama and Clinton are talking. There is a good chance that we will have a joint ticket. I am originally a Hillary supporter. I won't vote for Obama unless Hillary is on the ticket. But if Hillary is on the ticket, and Obama supporters continue to bash Hillary, I will not vote for Obama.

Im an African American in PA this strange belief that Racism isn't a problem but people are saying they'd rather vote republican again than give Obama their vote? He and Clinton have pretty similar goals as far as being president so whats the deal. America's hypocritical way of thinking is surely going todig us a deeper hole than the crater we're already digging ourselves. The experience argument is completely invalid. Neither Mccain or Obama has been president before.Obama is a christian, but I actually hear people in Pennsylvania say he's a secret muslim, which is not only false but a clear case of fear ing something for no other reason than he doesnt "look like us". And a feakin' flag pin, c'mon i though adults were in charge! Every argument aginst Obama I've heard was juvenile at best. I would really love to feel like an equal citizen but this subversive climate of racism and christian extremism, is killing us. So All of you Idiotic clinton voters who want to see Mcbush in the white house, when the economy is worse than ever, gas is 7$ a gallon, and crime is at an all time high, make sure your looking into the mirror when you point that finger of blame!

I really hope he changes his mind. Obama-Edwards—that is the perfect ticket!!!

Edwards for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Obama vs. McSame & Bush I tell you what if they had something they would have released it already don't you think. Those type of people don't wait to stab people in the back! Barack is so CLEAN that OXY Clean couldn't get him any cleaner!

Sillary is just plain GREEDY and full of RESENTMENT! She kind of reminds me of the old Looney Tunes cartoon where Daffy Duck finds a pearl and gets closed in an ostyer hugging on the pearl saying "IT'S MINE IT'S MINE IT'S ALL MINE!!!" lol Have you ever seen anyone not conceede like this??? Clinton it sure is not the brand it once was, lost a lot of cool points!!!

Obama's choice is as easy as ABC
ANYONE
BUT
CLINTON

I'm not surprised but I'm sure Obama has a position that he is interested in waiting for him.

As bad as the Republicans wanted to run against Hilary they did everything but endorse her believe me they would have used whatever they had on Obama. They would use it now if they had it. She is not releasing her delegates because she is trying to get Obama or the DNC to pay off her debts. As rough and tough as Chicago politics are if there was some detrimental secret about Obama it would have been out already. So he is not the boogie man waiting too jump out and snatch your children.

And as far as VP as organized as this man's campaign seems too be I think that decision has been made already. It is not a coincidence within a day of winning the nomination he is out with Jim Webb in the appalacian mountains. He already has his choice. He is just letting the media and the publlic go through their speculation.

GOOD!! Edwards is one of the phoniest guys around!! Obama can do a LOT better than this meatball!

An Obama/Clinton ticket would STILL be an Obama ticket, and that would NEVER work for me. The ultra-liberal DNC and back-stabbing, rule-breaking superdelegates can have him (and that goes for you, too, Edward!)

So, since Hillary Clinton (a MODERATE Democrat, like me) now seems to be out of the race for president, my money and vote go to Senator McCain, a MODERATE Republican. He is now the only genuinely "vetted" leader left in the general election.

And if ANY of you Obama folks think that OBAMA will end the Iraq war overnight, you are REALLY living in a dream world. He won't; he can't; nobody can – so it's just more empty rhetoric. It has to be done gradually and responsibly (at least Senator Clinton has ALWAYS used the word "responsibly." And by the way, just watch how THAT word will suddenly also become a part of Senator Obama's political lexicon.

Senator McCain is NOT George Bush. If Bush were running right now, I would NOT vote for him, just as I didn't the last 2 times. McCain is a genuine American hero and has seen the horrors of war first hand. HE will continue what is necessary — THE RIGHT WAY — to bring this war to a sound conclusion.

And what continues to annoy the heck out of me is that Senator Obama so dishonorably played on the theme that he didn't vote for the war. Of course not — he wasn't yet in the Senate when that vote took place. At least to me, pretty much eveything he has said has been that way. I think that's why people continue to say, "I just don't trust him."

I am so sick of hearing how obama and Hillary are two people who agree on most everything, magnified small and sometimes insignificant disagreements on policy. obama does not agree with Hillary's policy's. he has just spoken them so he could get the black people that would have voted for her to vote for him. I do not care what you say. My boss is a black woman who always agreed with Hillary's policy's. Then she comes in to work and states to us. I have Hillary on one hand and a black man on the other. who am I gonna vote for. Lets see here. Hillary, black man, Hillary, black cute man. I am gonna vote for the black man so I can be part of history. You all might as well get used to it. you will have a black president and the blacks will rule. I will NOT EVER vote for someone because of their gender or their color. Oh and by the way is it not nice that his preacher wright is NO LONGER RETIRED.

Could we now please stop asking Edwards this question?

I don't think Edwards would be VP anyway. I think that'd be 2 senators with not alot of experience…

I really wish Edwards would have accepted. With him the Obama ticket would have been unstoppable. He has a lot more talent than some of the more outspoken politicians and is very humble in his ways.

I think Clinton as a running mate and VP would be a mistake for Obama. She has shown poor judgment in not immediately acknowledging his victory after he won the number of required delegates. Several times during the campaign she choked or cracked under pressure by saying things she should not have. She entered the campaign with a sense of entitlement and has now paid the price for it.

Just a Canadian's view…

To obaman vs mccain……nothing is scarey if a truth does come out about obama that will ruin his chance for the presidency. Afterall, the president of the United States is a very important position and anything that comes out truly negative about a candidate should be taken very seriously, especially in these troubled times. Don't be scared, be releived if there is truly something that it be discovered prior to any election.

Irrelevant since no one was going to ask.

You know Edwards suspended his candidacy as well. He didn't give up his delegates either until he endorsed Obama. He didn't get all this grief. She is just waiting to see what happens, which I think is smart. What IF the GOP were to find something about Obama that could really hurt him worse than any of this other stuff. The democratic party could ask her to come back if they are afraid Obama would loose. PRETTY SMART COOKIE. HILLARY DON'T GIVE THEM UP.

John Edwards is a good person and a great public servant. I am sure he will serve Obama and this country well in whatever role he plays.

Can someone tell me what has happened to John Kerry? I have not heard or seen him well since 2004. Is he ok?

Edwards is no dummy!!

Good move Mr. Edwards. You've managed two failed runs for president, and a failed run at VP.

Why join another failed campaign?

Its a shame, John Edwards would have been a great fit for the VP role.

I do not trust Obama, or his naive, idealistic but unrealistic views and "Solutions".

With Hilary off of the Ticket, This may be the one year that my vote does NOT cancel out my husband's…

Choose your VP's carefully.

Bluntly speaking? If Hilary isn't on the Ticket, you might as well chalk it up as two votes for McCain. -Because if I don't vote for Obama, that's exactly how it will add up.
(And I know for a fact that I'm not the only one in the crowd…Caucus's don't reflect much. You're lucky if you get 1 percent to vote in them.)

I admire John Edwards and his wife…however I think he wants a job with some meat on the bones and I think he would make a great ,honest and fair Attorney General !!!
VP is an honorable position but the job should have more duties attached to it I think. Since the Presidents Job is so demanding and pressured , that way the VP could work on more of the issues they fought together on whether it be health care or the economy etc
Obama for President 08

An Obama/Clinton ticket would STILL be an Obama ticket, and that would NEVER work for me. The ultra-liberal DNC and back-stabbing, rule-breaking superdelegates can have him (and are you also listening, Edwards?)

Edwards is declining because he doesn't want to play second. We all know that he is much presidential than Obama. and also, doesn't want to be in the losing ticket again…

Everyone is worried about the VP slot but the only person that it really matters to is OBAMA.

It's like a man trying to pick a wife with everyone around him speculating on who he'll choose and giving their options. When he's the one who'll have to live with her and make a life. Let Obama choose in peace.

OBAMA VS. MCCAIN………….this is what OBAMA is going to stop all the childish positions our country has gotten used to ..1 that i think is funny is the ellitost name ,,EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON D.C. fits the catagory is there is one ……But some adults never grow up and still like to call names ………….the surprise for so many racists in this counrty will come at the polls in NOV. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm white and a women and I for one will be thrilled

I like john edwards but agree hes not a no 2 kinda guy, I beleive hilary is also not suited for vp. You dont want a stronger person than the president in the no 2 spot. I think he prob already promised it to richardson long ago. I think Hilary edwards would have been the much better choice overall. But it is what it is. It wouldnt surpise me if McCain dosent ask Hilary to be vp. He needs someone stronger than he on domestic issues.

PS……..I liked John Edwards. I voted Kerry/Edwards in '04.

Now I can't stand Kerry for personal reasons and Edwards appears to want something badly from Obama. I feel that if Hillary looked as if she was going to be the nominee, he would have treated her the same way. So…is that being a real friend? Who knows.

Everyone is worried about the VP slot but the only person that it really matters to is OBAMA.

I was disappointed when he who suppose to believe in Universal Health Care did not support my candidate. If he would be on the ticket I would still not vote for Obama. God Bless Elizabeth – she is in my prayers. I met her in 2004 and beside my candidate I cannot think of anyone who is a greater inspiration to women.

To the above writer Obama Vs McCain, your comment is not related to the article. If you are a democratic, why you still beating on Hillary?
this is not a way to unified the party and be a good democratic.

A UNITED DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Edwards would be a good choice for Attorney General. Wesley Clark for Secretary of Defense?

I hope you become the Attorney General. John Edwards and Obama working together will make good things happen for this country!

Sadly, it just seems to me that there is just so much Clinton hate going on in these discussions. Here, this story was not on Hillary but John Edwards and people just can't stop hating on the woman. Seems to me, the loudest voices of dissent are Obama supporters who think they can win the election without the other half that didn't vote for him. They claim Hillary was divisive but even as Hillary makes concilliatory remarks toward Obama, his supporters are still spouting Clinton hate. I wish they would just stop it and look in the mirror before they accuse Hillary of being divisive.

Colin Powell, Wesley Clark, or aq middle of the road republican

Why don't just forget about Hillary?. She lost he won. Now for VP that's another thing. If she don't go as a VP he may not win in November.

Good thing, too. What we need is gravitas, not good looks.

How is that scary? You just made up a scenario in your head.

Wait until people see what Obama's plans really are, Edwards may not be the only one to say no to VP. Daniel Tarullo, Obama's senior economic adviser, just said on CNBC that Obama's health plan calls for all hospitals to join in and be compensated and regulated like the VA hospitals. Anyone ever stay in a VA hospital and have a GOOD experience? No thanks Obama, keep your socialist medicine

McCain in '08

With all the speculation about who the VP will be, I have one thing to say…

THE DEMS ARE GOING TO BE STACKED ONCE WE GET TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

We have so many positive democratic leaders… Just think of any one of the other democractic candidates serving under Obama in some other capacity than POTUS.

OUR CABINET WILL BE FULL OF GREAT AMERICANS!

Clinton-Health and Human Services
Edwards-Attorney General
AND MANY MANY MORE!

Whoooo! I love it!

Dems '08

Dear operation chaos posters, it's over. You lost. The Dems will unite and take over the WH and congress..

scary? jajaja

OBAMA 08!!!!

The fact is that people are usually asked once to run as VP, and Edwards was Kerry's running mate. John Edwards is a wonderful man, but people did not connect with him.

I am praying for Sen. Obama that the Lord will guy him with wisdom in making his decision.

My husband and I were discussing what position Hillary would be great at, we think she would make an excellent Secretary of State.

What has this country come to?? I see a headline "Obama and Michelle bring fist bump into spotlight". WHAT!?! With all that is going on in the world we get this from the news? No wonder the world thinks we are idiots. What next "Obama sneezes and does not get a "bless you". Come on guys. What happened to issues?

If there was some "surprise" that was already known, Hillary would have been an ultimate fool not to drop it when it mattered. And Obama should maintain about the same relationship to Clinton as McCain is maintaining to Bush. "Thank you for your support, but now go away."

Thank god! he is bad luck. I still do not understand how anyone could have voted for bush in 2004. But since edwards did not even carry his own state going against the worst president in the history of the USA, good riddens to bad rubbish. He would however be a good Attorney General.

The country would be lucky to have Sen. Edwards as the Attorney General. After what we have been through with Ashcroft and Gonzales, change would be gratefully accepted. Please Sen. Obama, utilize this great man as your A.G.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO OBAMA CHOOSES AS HIS VP. I, ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF VOTERS, WILL RATHER SEE MCCAIN WIN THE ELECTION THAN A LIAR AND A HYPOCRITE. "CHANGE"??? YOU MEAN, "CHANGE' THIS COUNTRY'S SITUATION FROM BAD TO WORSE, RIGHT? OBAMA'S SUPPORTERS ARE IDIOTS, FOLLOWING HIM AND SWOONING OVER HIM, DYING TO TOUCH HIM AND SWOON AGAIN, NEVER TO QUESTION ALL THE CONTROVERSY THAT SURROUNDS HIM.

That is the smartest thing you have done all year! Thank you. I have more respect for Edwards than I ever have. I might look at you again in 2012 when I move back to the United States from Canada. We have no choice this year. Just the lesser of 2 evils.

I hope he had a good $400 hair cut in Spain.

If Edwads would of stayed in, He would of been the new president.

Shame he dropped.

Even if he accepted the VP spot, I could never bring myself to vote for obama on the ballot.

You've got to respect John Edwards for his decision not to go the VP candidacy route again. There are other good alternatives out there, other than Hillary. If Obama, taps her for his No. 2, he'll have to add another job to his cabinet …. food tester.

Edwards is not a looser, and if he were to run with Obama as VP

he would loose as he did in 2004. If it weren't for Kerry Edwards
should have been VP.

The ticket should be Clinton / Edwards

NEVER OBAMA
NEVER MICHELLE AS FIRST LADY

John Edwards doesn't want to be on loosing ticket again.

Here is what I would do if the tape is out there and the Obama camp knows it's could be disclosed. First, I would beat the republicans to the punch and release the tape with Michelle offering an apology because after all the American people want change and is a forgiving nation and country.

Secondly, I would not give the republican the time to drop the bomb in the last month before the election. Right after he gets the nod for the democratic front runner after the DNC I would come out with the tape and setup an interview with Michelle Obama offering an apology.

Thirdly, we all say thing that we don't mean ask “Don Imus” and he was giving a second chance to come back to talk radio and so many other that have use racial slurs against blacks for years.

Finally, this is all the republicans may have and how they have divided us for years and that’s all they got and can use to attempt to dethrone the Obama train because of the failed policies of George Bush and the Iraq War and our failing economy and they are hoping that the enough white people fall for it again to keep them in power and continue the Bush administration failed policies but not this time.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me…

Obama 08

To any Obama supporters on these blogs: I was one of the Hillary supporters that said I'd vote McCain. I was wrong to say that and take a part in fanning the flames of hatred. I was frustrated, but that's definitely no excuse for my comments. Is there still room for me aboard the Obama train?

Good move, John. Obama will not have the support of moderate Democrats in November and will not win. You are wise to stay away from this November train wreck.

Obama v McCain……….

Stop spreading rumors and go find a life. And get off Hillary's back, will you. If there's any stabbing to be done it seems you are the one poised to do it.

Personally, I will see what developes before making a choice…..but……I am a 100% Hillary supporter.

OBAMA DOES NOT DESERVE HER DELEGATES, SHE WON THEM!
HER PEOPLE ARE SO BITTER ABOUT THE WAY SHE WAS TREATED, THAT WE WILL DO EVERY THING IN OUR POWER TO KEEP THIS UNINTELLIGENT LIAR OUT OF OFFICE!!

HE IS A FAKE AND WILL SCREW THIS COUNTRY UP FURTHER!!!!

GOD HELP US!

That's right Obama, Take care of business. Do what you need to do to make the changes that will help all people in this messed up economy, thanks to the republicans administration that have gain personal and financial wealth from the war in Iraq.

For those haters, It's sad that all you can say about Obama is he is untrusting worthy (Hillary broke rules, flip flop on important issues, acted as if she was sincerely concern about the voters in FL & MI) and he Thinks he can make change, with hatful and jealous people like the haters on this blog. I pray you get the opportunity to show up and show out! Giving us the chance to reach that American dream.

Too bad – he would be a good choice.

Obama/Albright '08!!

I also seriously doubt HC is really interested. in VP. She would be willing to serve in whatever capacity she is asked but I think there are other ways she can help.

There would always be tensions etc from this long campaign and who knows but HC may prefer to make another run in 2012 if BO is not succesful. There will undoubtedly be further issues for BO and these will come out as the General campaign advances, Yes, BO is a tremendous orator but he has such little experince and I am not convinced other than the young people he attracts, that a majority of the voters will support him in the General election. A lot of these young people are very idealistic and want tyo believe the spin.

There are important roles within Obama's administration for people like Hillary & John Edwards. Many others will also be called on to apply their respective expertise in a position befitting their particular desires. This will likely include the likes of Chuck Hagel and others of his ilk.

When it comes to filling these important roles within a Republican administration McCain is severely limited to his field of Lobbists and current administration cronies and/or people of that same ilk. Look at all the experienced people Bush surrounded himself with for these important positions.

He's knows its political suicide being on a ticket with Obama when they don't win in November. The party will give neither another shot since superdelegates basically had to elect the nominee.

Edwards knows Obama is too far left, too tax hungry, can't stand up to why he voted "present" one hundred times, can't make decisions as in refuting Wright and Ayers, has contributor skeletons and on and on. Obama enjoys that anyone calling him on his short comings will be called racist. Edwards feels the whole deal just stinks too much. Can you blame him for keeping his distance?

That's too bad, I was really hoping for Edwards.

Since no one seems to be paying attention to this – THOSE WHO ARE PLANNING ON VOTING republican because of the DNC's ruling on MI & FL should know the RNC (Republicans) have those SAME rules!

This argument is completely ridiculous!

JOhn Edwards if you read this. PLease be Obama's VP. You both are candidates of change and need to represent the US. Do it Edwards. Just do it.

Edwards is a very nice man, but not the most thoughtful politician. he cound have dont a big favor to either candidate by announcing his support earlier than he did, at the very lease when his state held their primary….he, I believe was the "leader" of the pack of fools who pulled their names off of the Michigan ballot at the very last few days legally possible to do so…And for a photo op and to garner favor among Iowa Politicians….NOT SO SMART as we have all since discovered. What a stinky mess…..B.O. will always stink. he is not a authentic person, he cannot be trusted and that is all there is to it….I could give a cr@p if when he spoke gold flowed out of his mouth….I have good instincts and I say he is going down….This August/October surprise may be the bigger story for history than the fact that a black was the nominee…The Chicago cesspool of politics gives up her dead….they always float to the top like a bloated stinky carp….

John Edwards in everything that is wrong with this country. An ambulance chasing lawyer that cares nothing more then lining his pockets. It is a disgrace that people support him because he talks so much about two Americas when he and other lawyers are a large part of that reason there are.

I do not trust Clinton.. no way. There is something sinister about her and she isn't done yet. Until that convention is over every move she makes must be watched carefully. The woman is unstable and still thinks she has won.
I worry for Barack as it is the 40th anniversary of RFK's murder and his and Baracks platform is almost identical.. the big Washington machine isn't going to sit down quietly.Hillary and Bill will do and say and allow anything to happen to Obama to reach their dream. Be careful Barack!!
Obama supporter in Canada

As a Clinton supporter, I sincerely hope she does not accept , if offered, to be his running mate. It might make me feel obligated to vote for him, and I really do not want to do that. If anything were to happen to him, his supporters would immediately imply she was behind it. We have a lot of racist hot heads in this country who may wish to harm him and I do not want her anywhere near him. She will ask us to support him and as much as I want to support her completely, I just have a gut feeling I cannot shake, about him and his true feelings about America. I will still write her name on my ballot in November as she is the person I feel can best serve this great nation.

Maybe Edwards says he has no interest in the position because Obama's campaign team already told him he had no chance. Edwards has always been a sleezy politician who spoke out of both sides of his mouth. He constantly says he wanted to help the poor, but ask some of the poorest people in his home community what they think of him and how much he's done in his home state when he was Senator. In his fomer life he was an ambulance chasing lawyer. Maybe he can do us all a favor and stay in Spain.

WHY WOULD JOHN EDWARDS TAKE A BACK SEAT TO SOMEONE LESS INTELLIGENT?

I HOPE HILLARY DOES NOT TAKE THE JOB EITHER!
LET OBAMA LOSE ON HIS OWN!
HILLARY CAN COME BACK IN 4 YEARS AND WIN!
OR RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT NOW AND WIN!
WE SUPPORT HILLARY 100%
NEVER OBAMA, THE LIAR!!!!!

Everybody already knows that John Edwards wants to be the Attorney General. I am not surprised.
And come on everybody this October surprise/ Rev Wright/ Flag Pin controversy stuff is all getting so old. Realize he is an honest and gracious man and please come up with legit reasons not to vote for him.
Go Obama 2008/2012!

I AND MY FAMILY WISH YOU BEST WITH YOU WIFE'S FIGHT WITH CANCER .

that was the guy! please think that again, OBAMA EDWARDS is the real dream ticket.

I have learned that there are many Republicans posing as angry Clinton supporters trying to keep us divided. Do not believe it. There are some Repubs who are desparate and will try anything because they know they are toast this year. They think we are dumb enough to vote McCain in because of their bogus posts. Democrats will be united in November! Get ready for defeat McCain, Bush, Cheney and the politics of the past! It is going to happen. Accept it now or later, it really doesn't matter.

He was already a loser once and couldn't even carry his home state(s). I think he counts NC and SC. One radical liberal is enough. Since Nobama is one of the most fanatical liberals ever to get on the ticket, maybe he can find someone to bring him a bit more to the center. He's extremely fortunate he's not going against Romney…..

… John Edwards for Sec. of State… or Attorney General…

Great news. Now Edwards can go home and sue some more doctors.

John Edwards is a red neck…….still has that I don't like the women thing.

Level headed man – thank GOD he isn't trying to strong-arm or hold the party hostage !!!

Best wishes for John Edwards and Elizabeth.

I am not a democrat posing as a republican. I am a former Mich democrat-will be voting republican this Nov. Why on earth should Clinton democrats vote for Obama? The dem party treated both Clintons like dirt–accusing them of being racist–after 8 years in the White House fighting for AA. Where is the respect and loyalty of the democratic party to their past successful leadership? They have shown no loyalty, so the people of America are not obligated to show Dems any loyalty. I am glad JE does not want to be VP. He would be good, but would be supporting a losing candidate again. Good luck Mr Edwards-to you and your wife and God Bless America.

John Edwards will make a great attorney general.

I'm already tired of this insane media frenzy about the VP slot. Yes, it's an important decision but not one to made quickly or lightly. The speculation about Clinton, Edwards and others is just ridiculous. Obama has calmly and clearly stated he will go through the standard process and announce his decision down the road…so let's move on to the issues that voters REALLY care about…let's get on McCain's back and stay there!!

It doesn't matter if she releases her delegates or not. Either way, it's her right just like past candidates.

And why is Obama saying "Everybody needs to settle down"? It sounds arrogant and rude and he can't afford that. Besides the fact that he was a part of the process to get people all riled up and excited.

Edwards I don't blame you. You did your job and I thank you for running both times and contributing to the process.

He never did anything for us in NC anyway. I say run him off like they ran HRC off

Why does media even give importance to thisopportunistic politician who has twice failed in trying for predidential nomination and once failed as vice-presidential candidate. He did not help John Kerry in any way by counter-attacking the swift boating and also could not net a single state for all his charm and being a "white southerner".

Even in 2008, he conveniently sat on the fence when Obama and Clinton were fighting for the nomination and came forward to endorse Obama only when it was sure that he would be the nominee.

Edwards can't even win his senate seat back, he should retire or start practicing law again for he doesn't deserve a place in any future democratic administration

Obama v McCain that is just gossip. Even if it's true it's a little dumb for Hillary to wait until August and drop something. That's not Hillary if she had something she would have done it by now. Her goal is to be President she would have launched what she could to prevent Obama from making history. No matter what happens now Obama has made history and it can't be erased. Sure scandal could happen but history will always record that her rise was due to his fall. Hillary doesn't want the history written that way. She wants it to say she won it on all fronts. She is holding the delegates to the convention so that she can be part of the platfrom (it's smart politics) — she will release them at the convention and the place will go crazy and she will have made history as well. Think about it-it's a great way for her to be a part of history.

what's with the drum beat for VP's. give it a rest already!

cnn, why don't you put on the ticker the news about the new commissions' report that says bush and his cronies(criminals) deliberately lied about the war.

mcsane gave and still gives strong support for this war and it's still going on over lies. this is insanity!

He might as well. He would just be on another losing ticket. By the way that is all we need in washinton D.C is another lawyer. Why do you think this country is so screwed up.I love cnn pundits saying john McCain needs to overcome his age issue. Last time I checked most people or not under 30 and or not black. So what cnn should be saying if they were not so baised is " how can Obama expect to win with only the black vote,ultra liberal vote and a bunch of unreliable college kids. All of these groups are of minority size compared to the majority of people they cricised and turned away. The blue collar white americans , older americans and the female voters and all the republicans. That sounds like it might be a more legimate question but I won't hold my breath for anybody on cnn to ask that question. The only one who might ,who is fair and balanced would be LOU DOBBS>

Obama has done something amazing already. Regardless of any 'new' dirt they may have on him, he is clearly the one that has kept his promise to 'Change' politics as we know today.

The world is watching. The game of politics has been forever changed because of Obama!

The VP spot is important, and the Obama camp knows it. Who ever he picks, he will have my vote. No more Bush/Cheney politics!

While I wish he would agree to the VP. He clearly doesn't want it. He would be an excellent attorney general though and he would probably love to put Cheney on the stand….

We can see, then, that Edwards doesn't really believe in Obama after all. Edwards is just another politician and would run after Hitler if Hitler was the democrat nominee. Shame, shame!!

Too bad. Edwards would make a great VP.

One choice – Kathleen Sebelius – truthful…no sniper fire stories…and actual "experience" (go figure HRC supporters….she's not trying to claim her husbands experience as her own..)

Shame Edwards isn't the front runner!

Smart man. Never get on a sinking ship.

John Edwards would be a great Attorney General , in any ones cabinet!

I really hope Mr Edwards gets to play a key roll; Attorney General would be great if that is what Mr Edwards would like.

Obama does have a few known Ghost floting along

It does not matter the choice for V.P is up to Obama. I wish the media stop spining this issue again and again. Why can't you wait until Obama anounces his choice.

Although I absolutely love Edwards, and he was my first presidential pick, I agree that he should not run with Obama — we need new blood – the american people need new blood, and that's why Hillary lost.

OBAMA MAMA '08!!

…and you would know this because you're a Washington insider?

Give me a break and stop being so paranoid!

Attorney General or Secretary Of Labor!

Obama & running mate of HIS choice 08′

John Edwards’ time will come. What he has done in combating poverty on behalf of the poor and disadvantaged is admirable. Hopefully in time, he can perhaps re-emerge as a candidate. I respect John Edwards because he is honest and he wants to win on behalf of the people; not on behalf of himself or a place in history that he feels entitled too.

Kansas governor will be a better choice or Sam Nunn for secty
of state.Lieberman is more republican than he is independent.
He not short of his ugly way at Obama,which he was once a
democrate.

I think John Edwards would be best suited as an Attorney General. He was an effective trial attorney for many years, and can bring the kind of integrity and wit needed for Obama's administration.

Old news. He has already turned down the notion that he would be a VP.

The problem with the 2004 election is that it was clear that John Kerry did not want to win. Look at how dumb he appeared debating George W. Bush. The goal was to keep the George W. Bush as President. Do you really think that two people (John Kerry and George W. Bush) who were members of the same SECRET organization have truly differing views.

John Kerry ran for President only so that no credible Democrat would run. Otherwise, the plan would have busted.

The American people are smarter than that, right?

Thanks YOU John Edwards for giving your support. We respect your right to refuse the VP position. YOU are Sir, the most gracious and most respected politician I know. You've always been a class act and the American people LOVE and RESPECT your decision.

As hard as it is for some people to understand, the VP is NOT the most IMPORTANT thing to every one. Some people VALUE other public service MORE.

THANK YOU JOHN EDWARDS, MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE ELIZABETH!!

Good idea and smart move
Who wants that post ?
Only Jeremiah Wright accept that

Why would Edward want to be VP to Obama? He lost with Kerry and
He'll loose with Obama.

Edwards has so much to offer in the Senate and in Congress, he
dosen't need Obama to drag him down.

If Hillary runs as an Independant, the Dream Ticket Team would
be CLINTON / EDWARDS

OBAMA IS GOING TO LOOSE TO McCain and there goes our chance
again up in smoke.

#########################################

i like Edwards, he is smart, articulate and rich, but he is a loser and so is Obama.

Obama is not only a loser but he is a quitter as well. the American poster boy for quitting when the road of controversy gets tough, he quits.

He wants to talk with Castro but snubs our American Generals. He won't wear our American Flag or salute the flag that Americans through the years have bled for and died for. Maybe he ought to read the words of the " Star Spangled Banner" to get the drift of what the flag means.

Don't fall for his cotton candy fluff. Check Revelations in the Bible.

Remember:

Prayer

'Lord, please hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'

Barack is a Harvard educated Constitutional Scholar who gave up a lucrative career to become a community organizer and champion for the poor and disenfranchised. He served 4 yrs as Illinois Senator and 2 yrs as US Senator. He has shown proven sound judgement far ahead of his so called more 'experienced' opponents (not supporting Iraq war and no to the sham gas tax holiday.) He will make a very sound, educated decision on who his VP will be and the country will be better off because of it. I just donated to his campaign again because he kept his word about refusing the pac and lobbyist money.

Attorney General is the best place for John.He can catch all the liars and start getting them ready for jail time.

What about poverty John, how are you going to fight it from your couch?

John I don't care if you "already had the privilege"! It's not about you, it's about OUR country!

Now, THIS would be the dream ticket.

T o answer the question of why hillary wont "release" her delegates…is because there are claims out there that there is an August/October surprise in the making about Sen Obama.. her hopes are that she can "appear" to campaign for him like crazy, but that when the news drops about him his flood of running scared delgates combined with what she has in her pocket will give her the nomination. She will be fooling the public again when she stands before them and claim that she has his back when in all honesty she, with the assistance of the republicans, are planning to stab him in the back. Scary stuff huh?
