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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
