I have a few things to say to the republicians out there, 4000+ amer deaths in Iraq, our economy is almost at a stand still, people are losing there jobs and homes at a record pace, gas prices are through the roof, our present admistration is null and void, Sen McCain can talk about nothing but the war, the man still has a hard-on from the Vietnam War, so with all that how can you republicians critical of anything Sen Obama is trying to accomplish. At least he realizes that it's going to take the help of all americians to turn our country around and to get it headed in the right direction.

…before this election year, I did not know Americans couldbe so silly. I think itis really stupid that so many uninformed people feel they are qualified to make decisions about matters that they really don't know anything about. The conversations and the articles are ridiculous. I believe if Mr. Obama was anybody than who he is, this would be a non-issue, folks would shut up and let the man do his job his way. Mr. Obama is not a dumb person, he is quite capable of "handling" his business. He does not need people second guessing how he thinks, what he does or doesn't do. BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VOTE 08/12

Obama supporters should be asking themselves why Obama keeps running from debates. Did it not seem strange to you that he would agree to a debate on July 4th when nobody would be watching. Without a prepared speech or telepromter everyone knows he is just preaching. George Bush lost every debate and looked like an idiot and people still voted for him and now they are ready to make the same mistake again. The man does not have a clue about foreign policy or the economy. His health care plan will not work, because it still leaves us paying for those who don't get it. The facts are 20% of the people that don't have health care make over $75,000 a year.

Before Iowa, Ms. Doyle's critics contended she didn't have the experience necessary to be the person in charge of a presidential campaign.

After Iowa, her critics contended that she didn't have the strong leadership skills necessary to manage the strong personalities of senior campaign advisors.

After Super Tuesday, her critics contended she had failed to anticipate, and hence prepare for, a protracted campaign.

With the benefit of hindsight, I hope we can all agree those criticisms were justified.

But I don't understand how any of this is relevant to her qualifications as Chief of Staff or the Vice President. According to all reports, she is terrific at organizing an office of that size, functioning not as a leader with a public face, but as a loyal facilitator working unseen in the background. None of her failures as head of Senator Clinton's campaign give one any reason to think otherwise.

Remember, she has eight years of experience in that role and her performance was so extraordinarily that the Vice President she served selected her–solely on that basis and moreover with great confidence–for a position few thought she was qualified to handle.

So let's take the question of her competence for THIS position off the table. A reporter might be the best at her job and yet struggle once promoted to editor, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't do a great job if she returned to her previous position as a reporter.

Whatever one thinks of his motivations and whatever the fallout turns out to be, the obvious truth seems to be that Senator Obama selected the best person for the job.

Obama will win by a landslide.Only the media and their polls keep it close to make more money.He is leo, the lion,a born leader,fearless and will put our enemies in their place.

You people really scare me with the way alot of you think.

I believe Obama has worked hard to enlighten Americans about a
lot of things. I for one am convinced of his honesty, and his ability
to be our foremost leader. After all the lies and deceptions we as
citizens of this great country have been subjected to over the last
eight years WE all need the changes Mr Obama and his staff will
bring. For all our sakes give the man a chance, Please.
I believe we have the makings of another FDR. Thank God.

Thank God youbrainless Democrats are at it again…maybe us GOP'ers still have a chance to steal this election!! Ha, ha!! Welcome all you Clinton supporters we'll be happy to take your vote…just don't expect us to enact any of Clinton's crappy policies! But we'll gladly take your help in stealing this election!

It's McCain all the way to the White House baby!!

I hope that the majority of these "vote for McCain" "loyal to Hillary" comments are from Republican trolls. I would hate to think that anyone would be this nutty over one person who was hired. Big deal – a VP chief of staff! Get over it, for heaven's sake. This is just silly, petty bickering. Let's talk real issues for once. CNN – stop encouraging this nonsense with your ridiculous postings.

I know you Obama fans love to bash Clinton, but lets face it, you need her. If you continue to take shots at her, you will lose many of her supporters come November. Do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut.

If Obama was considering Clinton for VP why would he make this choice? Hmm. The John guy doing the VP search was involved in a scandal, which I am sure the Obama camp was aware of. I sure hope he does right by Hilliary.

Why is everyone so upset about this. Obama has the right to hire are fired who ever he wants. Clintion has the same right. Your company has the same rights. You have the same rights. Did they sign a contract to states" you can not work for another person" I guess not. Please stop. For the PUMA or anybody else that does not like Obama so what. There are plenty of people that like him and will vote for him. Some white,black,brown,rich,poor,men,women,gay,straight,etc. If you like his views the vote for hime. If you hate his view the do not vote for him. Simple.

You have probably never had 2 such contrasting options. Only 1 of these will win. Choose the 1 that will hep your family out the most. Simple.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

If Hillary cannot beat this young senator, Obama, how would she have been able to run a good campaign against McCain?

Hillary, with her 18 million votes and $109million,
–has the worst baggage than any democrat that has ever ran for the presidency,
–has the highest negative ratings
–lacks the clear judgment in most instances when needed the most!

It has always been my understanding that the "primaries" are not about the individual candidate, but about the party.

For the FIRST time in my adult life (now 50 years plus), I have never seen a candidate that has brought so much divisiveness to a party than Hillary. Is this the way Hillary would have governed?

So many Republicans in Democratic clothing on here. PUMA seems to be a Swift boat group and lead by a "switched to" Republican. I think that means he switched from Republican to Democrat to Republican to try and play on the confusion in the Hillary camp.

Any Real American Democrat that can support McCain isn't a real American Democrat. It just isn't possible. What that means is they are really just caught up in the Hillary swirl and Operation Chaos to think she had a chance. She would be a good candidate if Obama hadn't outcampaigned her in the first few primaries and she had a campaign team that was competent. She got beat. Move on.

Obama vs McCain is a contrast in young vs old, change vs the old way, leadership vs politics. If you liked Bush, you'll love McCain.

YES WE CAN OBAMA UNLIKE REPUBLICANAS. YES WE CAN THINK ABOUT REAL ISSUES ABOUT OUR CHANGE LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY.
YES WE CAN BRING OUR CHILDREN HOME END THE WAR
1. CHANGE OUR ECONOMY ,
2. FACILATATE OUR HELATH CARE, CREATE JOBS
3 AFFORDABLE COLLEGE EDUCATION

4. BE UNITED AS DEMOCRATES
. BE SMART WHEN REPUBLICANS TO FOOL YOU
5. THINK ABOUT THE REAL ISSUE LIKE CHANGE OUR FUTURE
6. SAY NO TO DIVISION. AND PROMOTE POSITIVE IMAGE OF AMERICA GLOBALLY/

No one posting here knows the specific ins and outs of the Clinton campaign, which, according to Clinton's own aides, was beset by dysfunction and infighting. So who knows how good or bad Solis might have been, whether she took the fall for someone else's ego, or what Hillary might think and feel about it by now. I'm guessing that if HRC wants to be VP, and if Obama chooses to offer it to her, she and Solis will be able to be adults, forcryin'outloud.

its ashame that all the Clinton people blame everybody for her downfall except her ,she knew the people she had running her campaign,im angry at her as a woman we always check our money and all of our surroundings to make sure that everything is okay,she dropped the ball herself,she should also have checked the big mouth men in her campaign including her husband,they helped more to make her lose than Pattie,now its Obama and Doyal thats at fault why are you all so angry at them,lets talk now about gas prices,food,education for our kids and get on with Democrates winning in November

I will keep this very short and to the point…
IS THERE NOTHING THE PEOPLE IN THE CLINTON EX-CAMPAIGN WON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT ???
This ONE of the main reasons they lost the campaign….
Instead of taking care of their OWN house they are focused and complaining about things out of their control…

NEW FLASH!!!

IT WON"T BE HILLARY!!!

Some of her words and actions in the primaries were UNACCEPTABLE and UNFORGIVEABLE!!!

NUFF SAID!!

It's funny. Everyone who supported Clinton and is now supporting Obama is a traitor. I'd like Clinton Fanatics to answer me this: Since Solis Doyle is a traitor for supporting Obama, as is anyone who once supported Clinton, and now supports Obama, would this not mean that Hillary Clinton is also a traitor for supporting him?

This move at this time makes sense. Do it while the Clinton supporters are so angry that it can't get any worse. It sends the message now that Clinton won't be on the ticket., rather than letting the situation fester for two months and facing a brand new wave of hate come August. Other than coming right out and saying it, which is not realistic, this is the best way of letting the country know that he is a man of his word and really does want to turn the page.

As was suggested by some politicos on talk shows tonight, I totally agree that this move was an insult to both Hillary Clinton and her supporters.

Obama is not doing a great job courting older women. We have dealt with betrayals like this all of our lives, especially in the workplace.

Obama can hire his KENYA GRANDMOTHER, and he still will not win. Obama should go to Kenya and maybe he can get some experience as Kenya's First Home Boy to leave and return as president, after all his Kenya father left home and returned back to his wife he had never divorced prior to marrying Obama's mama. Obama is an empty suit with nothing other than rhectoric to offer. Go back to corrupted Political Chicago. Obama give Alice Parlmer her senate seat that you stole from her on a scam technicality. Mccain/Coln Powell 08

those people voiting for McCain sound like stupid but good luck.

I think democrats should stand together against the dying republicans at this point in time, and there after they carefully cuse who will make the best VP otherwise if democrats continue they to push Sen.Barack to take on Sen.Clinton before winning the elections the game may fall into the hands of unromantic mcain.Sen.Barack knows that despite her previous dirty tricks they will work together for amore united states sen. Clinton

Enough already!! Obama has a job to do. Let him get to work.
Lets Go Dems!!!!!

hiring seniro staff from another campaign is almost always a way to throw a bone to the other campaign! Seriously! It's one of the points that losing candidates often negotiate over with the victor when they are discussing their withdrawal. This would be especially the case in Solis Doyle's case who the Clinton team felt was unfairly blamed by the media. How either the media's coverage of this or some ranting bloggers can turn this into a slap in the face when it would normally be viewed as just the opposite is simply ridiculous.

Message to Obama…and ALL of his supporters.

You CANNOT win this election without Hillary Clinton. She received more than half the Democratic votes cast in the primaries.

Unless you want to go down in history as a dismal election failure eg. George McGovern, you will select Hillary Clinton as your running mate.

She has earned it, and you will not succeed without her.

I support her, and may still vote for McCain even if she is on the ticket. That is how disliked Obama is among Hillary supporters.

So, suck it up!

How is an insult to Hillary???? Why shouldn't she accept I'm sure she has bils to pay like everyone else. We should applaud the Obama camp for making the offer to former Hillary supporters….and like wise if he gave the job to someone else everyone would be saying "How come he is not giving any positions to the former Hillary camp" No matter what is done many of you will complain about it.

Can we stop demanding Clinton to be on the ticket. NO ONE like bullies, and NO ONE has to pick anyone. I don't see Sen. Obama picking Sen. Clinton to satisfy fake Dem. HRC supporters. If you'd ONLY vote for Obama because of Clinton, then you can take your HRC behinds back to the RNC. Real supporters support the FAMILY….

And can we STOP trying to make speculations facts like the gas prices, wars, whether or not Sen. Obama can win being at the top of the ticket, etc. None of these events have happened…think about that elementary fact…

PUMA – NO ONE cares what YOU think!!! That what wrong with PUMA, always thinking that its about them, and what they want…GROW UP

And I agree that Sen Obama WILL find her a place in the campaign. Really Dems welcome ALL TRUE believers

Welcome DOYLE to the TEAM!!!

CHANGE '08 = Obama '08
Continuing Change '16 = Clinton '16*

*If she and her supporters get there act together…

I can't believe how out of touch some people really are, come on people, I believe Obama was right when he said, "we are angry and bitter", we need change (show some love people). The same measure that you judge somebody the same measure you will be judged. Think about what's going on in this world people, we need help and that's the bottom line. We Have Already Won!!! It"s A Done Deal!!! Stop being a Haterilly, Obama 08

It seems the Obama camp is forgeting one thing, the White House!!!Bashing Clinton supporters is not helping your candidate but hurting him. You all are underestimating just how we feel…maybe it will take a loss to McCain for this camp to realize just how deep the wounds are. It is one thing to lose fair and square but it is another to be the best qualified candidate and lose. You all are afraid of the Clintons, almost as if it would be too much if Hillary had won and turned the country around once again. Well, go McCain, your stand on the issues does not even matter. I am willing to sacrifice four more years of Bush policies in order to stand for something. It is a small price to pay considering people pay with their lives for something they believe in!!!!!

For all you Hillary supporter know, Hillary adviced Obama to hire her because Hillary might be the VP after all.

This decision is very confusing. The reason Hillary lost can be traced all back to her. Why then would he want this lady anywhere near him? Well I guess this could be called change. I still suport Obama though because we can't have four more years of republicans!

If Al Gore does not have a problem with it, neither do I!

i am sure she secretly worked for BO to sabotage Hillary…we'll see how this one turns out

To Hillary's 18 million supporters please help Hillary pay off her debt, at least $2 .00 from each of you will go a long way.
The interesting thing is, the Obama you keep insulting everyday is the one who cares so much about Hillary and is will to help pay off her debt.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_Hensley_McCain

To those who choose to give up the few morals they have left to vote for this train wreck, so sad. His own party rejected him and his war record, fact in the 2000 election and now his fellow Senators are rejecting him now some still have not come out in support of him. I'm willing to bet they him and his so called experience alot better than any one on this site….

All those years in the senate what has he done for me over that time (NODA).

And women voters look at what he's offering to take away from women. Are you really that mad. Because Hilliary was beaten by running a weak campaign. Is it Sen. Obama's fault she mis-managed her campaign. She proved she could not manage the country.. She failed the primary test. Let's move forward the country needs you all.

Obama /Powell 08

Don't be narrow minded. God bless America. God bless the World.
Obama represents and means more for America than any other candidate. Let's be realistic and see with the eyes of reason and humanity.

Moderator , Let me try this again.

I hope this isn't an indication that Senator Clinton won't be his VP pick. It would be very disappointing.

Democrats, To fight the smears (Lies) go to this site
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/factcheckactioncenter/

Obama knows what he is doingl I trust his judgement, so I'm not worry about his choice. Hiliary voters need to focus on getting Obama to be President or else we are going to find ourselves with John McCain as President. We all know what a nightmare McCain would be as a President. MA

Most of the negative comments about Presidential nomnee Obama is coming from Republican posing as Hillary supporters. Check this out! If they were really Hillary supporters they would have listened to her when she said I am fully supporting Obama and even thinking about MCbush is totally gravely WRONG!!! Unless otherwise GOP is trying hard to get some of naive voters to think otherwise that some Hillary would think to come to them. Just LOOK AT THE POLL Obama is ahead of MCain-bush. How some real democrats including true Hillary supporters don;'t even think about loose to REPUBLICANS. THIS IS ABOUT WHO IS GOING TO WIN. DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS. I THINK MOST TRUE DEMOCRATS ARE FULLY SUPPORTING OBAMA TO END ANOTHER THIRD TERM OF BUSH. BRING OUR CHILDREN HOME SAFLEY!!!
S

LOrd, who are these group of people? LET ME GUESS;

CNN
BILL CLINTON
TERRY MClaufing
Lonely DAvis
BIllary

for pete's sake, let the man do what he needs to do, … this is a DEMOCRACY not a dyansty, monarchy or other reign………

if you are angry hillbary lost, talk to her, and make sure she stops lying, and sending our jobs to mexico, china, via her husband..

do as you like but the rest of the country has and needs to move on..

if you like war, lies and other such staff, made by the GOP and what Bush has done in the last 8 years and you are an angry resentful hillary voter, supporter, go ahead vote for mccain..
after all we are a democracy……….but you will not and i repeat you will not stop the millions of people from all parties VOTE for our leader..

President Obama

PS; hillary who???

vote obama and lose the country.

Just the hell up Obama supporters. You guys are going to LOSE in November. Mccain 2008 Hillary 2012!!!!!

Hey…Disapponnted (?)
With Obama in the White House—your scenario will most likely be true….remember….those who hate this country and want to do it harm in anyway possible….took that chance and succeeded with no experience Bush at the realm–first term.
They will do it again with Obama
Let's all pray they don't get another chance—NO OBAMA.

why are people getting so offended by who Obama hires as a vetter? It's not like he's giving these people high government jobs.. he's just asking them to interview potential running mates.

I'll tell you this… if McCain gets elected… I'm seriously going to think about moving out of this country… Canada is sounding better and better. Because the reality is that if any white man ran the same campaign that Obama did.. that man would win this november in a landslide.

And to Brian in Tenn… I was just in Tenn… granted it was only on a layover… and met with a girlfriend of mine out there. I must have heard the 'N' word fly out around me more in one hour than I've heard in California in a whole year. I can see why Tenn will not vote for Obama. And It's sad to say that I'm not proud of a country that still puts so much negativity out based on the color of someone's skin.

Hamas and the terrorist loves Senator Obama. He even got all mixed up on who is who in Iraq.
Listen to what Hillary said about Obama during the campaign, she did not miss much.

i like hillary. i dont like obama. i like mccain and he likes hillary. obama doesnt like anyone especially hillary. the dnc doesnt like hillary. hillary supporters dont like the dnc. the dnc and the obama supporters caused the rift within the party. its not hillarys fault that the dnc is hated. yep, unless hillary gets the nomination in august (stranger things have happened) i will certainly vote for mccain. why? well, some that voted for obama cleary hate hillary and since i dont like obama then why shouldnt i vote for mccain?

Not to be rude about this like all of these die hard Clintonbots but Obama can Hire who he wants for whatever he wants. If Hillary Clinton wants to Hire someone Obama will have to keep his mouth shut too!

Whats the problem anyway. At one point Clinton LOVED this woman…now that Hilly doesn't like her she should spend the rest of her life unemployed??

For all the Clinton's supporters that continue to bad mouth Obama: do you really think you are doing Clinton a favor by crossing the party line and going against everything she has worked for? Remember, this is her dream to, a Black man being a Democratic nominee, she fought for Civil Rights.

She just didn't expect in when she thought it should be HER turn

It's funny the Muslims "we hate" have even find out how stupid we are, and have found a way to fight us and win, by raising gas prices, and there we are at their marcy and some of us are still acting like the f**ls we are.
Stop blaming Obama, he did not sent us to Iraq a Middle East nation, the people "we hate" and now those people "we hate" are killing us with our dependent on them for the oil. We think we are winning the war in Iraq, well they have found a way to win this war without fighting us on the battle field. McCain thinks the surge is working, well the gas prices keep go up and up.
Jesus Christ, how stupid can we be. America wake up!!!!!

Hillary does Obama care about you? No! Will he use you for his benefit? Yes! After Novemeber, you will be like a red-headed step child. It's not too late to go independent.

Run as an independent?….. LMAO….. How's she gonna come up with the money to lose an independent race?…… Hell she can't even pay for the first time she's lost…… You hillary supporters make me smile really really hard……. You guys…… Just stop it, stop it!!!!!!…. lol RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT……

YES WE CAN!!!!!

to Eunice:

Are you sure you're democrat or a republican troll?. hmmm, did you forget to take your prozac?. Seriously, reread your stuff. You're a hater! I feel sorry for you. That's the type of person Hillary attracts?, it's an insult to hire somebody Hillary let go?. Give me a break!. You're simply delusional and bitter. Go vote McSame, we don't need your vote and I surely don't want haters like you in the Obama camp spreading your vomit.

Don't worry, come November we'll start fixing this country for you while you sulk….

If Hillary runs as an independent in novemember theres still every chance that she will be elected and if not then she will have succeeded in splitting the democratic vote, hence denying obama the opportunity to become president. She has nothing to lose and everything to gain by standing as an independent.

Puma_party whatever…

My …you make yourself sooo important. No one needs you loser!!!
Who cares if you don't vote for him. You don't speak for the whole state.

Get over yourself!!!

YES WE CAN WRITE IN HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT. OBOOMBOOM is a fake and another inexperienced Bush in black sheep clothing. YES WE CAN WRITE IN HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT.

Why doesn't anybody in the Clinton camp blame Clinton for her failures. Not even Clinton blames herself.

I dont think that Hillary Clinton is out of the running for VP but if her supporters keep nagging she will be. It his campaign he can hire who ever he wants to work with the future VP Hillary Clinton or not. I think Al Gore was on stage for a reason tonight. Can anyone say Obama/Gore? Last I checked Hillary and Gore really dont like each other now that would be a slap in the face to her.

PUMA!! No CLINTON Vp…NO OBAMA PRESIDENCY…

As simple as that….I love Obamas "bump" in the polls. He isnt even up 10 only 4 and thats in the margin of error…lol

THis guy is sure to lose without CLinton

If I was herI wouldn't want the job. She does not even need to get close to that ticket. It would be utter destruction for her. He is going to lose in an electoral land slide.Except for the starry eyed college kids, the black population and the latta left wingers who in their right minds is going to vote for a socialist who hates america, friends who hate america and make anti-american comments not counting his terriost friends I saw a question from an Obama supporter who dared a clinton supporter to name her one African american senator, Obama of course. Now name me a single Mayor of a city that is black that has run the city successfukl and has a low crime rate? Also name me a country that is developed that has a black in charge. The best answer you could give would be south africa and it is rapidly deterriotating.

I dont think that Hillary Clinton is out of the running for VP but if her supporters keep nagging she will be. It his campaign he can hire who ever he wants to work with the future VP Hillary Clinton or not. I think Al Gore was on stage for a reason tonight. Can anyone say Obama/Gore.

And the crying has begun…..

Michigan voter. Do you really think you are fooling anyone? We know you think you are a Republican. The question is why do you think you should be a Republican. Do you make more than 250K per year? Do you think our environment is worthless if we can kill it to make a dollar? Do you think a corrupt president who lies to the people for his ego and for oil and gets our soldiers killed in a useless war is a good way to lead? Are you really better off than you were 8 years ago? Are you really in favor of a candidate that promises to stay in Iraq until we no longer having soldiers die and then its ok to stay there because we are no longer having soldiers die? Is it ok to stay there spending money we do not have and increasing our national deficit which is destroying the value of the dollar? The answer to all of these would be a simple no if you bothered to educate yourself somewhere other than Rush Limbaugh or Fox News. Those people have their own adgenda and it has nothing to do with what is best for you so use your brain and stop listening to the lies.

A smart move hiring Patti Doyle and gentle hint that Clinton might not be on the short list. For very good reasons. Let's not forget that on more than one occasion Hillary praised McCain at the expense of Obama, her Democratic colleague. As VP she would be a liability, Obama needs someone more trustworthy and less polarizing.

Ok.. so first Hillary says that we all need to support Obama.. now she's mad that one of her staffers is supporting him and working for his campaign? I don't get it. Why would she be upset?

First she says that she doesn't know if she even wants the VP spot.. now they're upset that she may not be the VP?

Is she bi-polar?

maybe she'll destroy Obama's campaign too.

Never vote for Obama. He is the next Jimmy Carter. The Democrats will be doomed for the next 20 years.

William A June 16th, 2008 10:41 pm ET

What Change? The only change the brainwashed Obama supporters are going to get is the face of John instead of George. The Devastation will continue, the war will continue, the draft will be iniated, the economy will continue to get worse, Health Care will be non-existent and Republicans will continue to have no clue!

And you all deserve every bit of misery you get. Only fools can be so blind to vote for He who cannot lead, cannot win, and cannot change the fix your in! Get ready for another Republican White House. Hope you all enjoy the misery you've lunged upon the World.

————-

It really is like talking to a wall with these guys. I don't think that anyone one of us is going to change their minds.

This one is probably paid by McCain to try and turn some Democrats over to their side.

Ain't gonna happen.

William A. All that you described is what's gonna happen if Mccain gets into the White House. All of it.

Obama is not going to be doing any of that.

Get a clue before its to late. Come ot the side of change.

Obama 08

Are Hillary supporters still on their periods???

Iron my shirt…

For those who have made negative comments on this post – see you on the other side – gas prices at $10.00 and war in Iran. Something to think about….

Last I checked, Hillary Clinton hasn't said anything about being offended by this… only the fringe die hard fans of her's who would rather vote against every issue she stood for instead of supporting the candidate she is now supporting.

And then they talk about loyalty like it is something they understand. What exactly are they being loyal to… the ideals she represents… well McCain is diametrically opposed to those ideals so voting for him would be a slap in her face. Loyalty to Hillary Clinton… she has asked her supporters to support Obama… so what exactly are they now being loyal to? Hmmm.

This was a bitter campaign, but it is time look at the real issues and where the candidates stand on them and vote for someone who will most represent your stance on those issues. If you are pro-life, pro-tax breaks for the rich, anti-universal health care, pro-extended war in Iraq… then McCain is absolutely the candidate for you. If your views are opposite those issues… then maybe you should look and see of there is a candidate that is also opposed to those stances and vote for them.

He can have the idiot. Obama and Solis Doyle certainly deserve each other…glad they have connected. Meanwhile I will write in Hillary — the best candidate in 08.

To Eunice—You are so right. This man and his team just do not get it. Once again they go out of their way to insult Hillary. Ok we get it. You don't think the millions….got that you idiots?millions of people that voted for Hillary do so….not because we don't want a black man Pres. but rather because we understood that Obama lacks the experience to lead this nation. Couple that witht the fact that the old lions of the party…you know those men that kept losing elections tried to shove this snake oil salesman down our throats and maybe you can understand why we will not be voting for Obama. But that's ok you have made it very clear you do not respect us, our values or our concern for this country. All you respect and want is our money to throw away on this losing campaign. Forget it. We will donate and work for individual Democrates but we will not be voting for Obama.

Dear Eunice….. With all 18 million of you voting for hillary….. She still lost…. Now suck it up and act like a democratic woman…..

Hey Dennis in Texas,
more than 50% of this country has said we're on the wrong track.
If Senator McCain appears to be keeping to the same track
1) same economic policies as current
2) same ideas towards keeping the war in Iraq going with the possibility of going into Iran
3) nominating the same judges as Alito, Roberts (judges that were picked under President Bush)

how do you see Senator Obama NOT winning?

I think it's time for complete change and while I gave the Reps every chance to do right, they seemed to get stuck (all the way back to 1998 when they had President Clinton by the nads) in their own tracks.
So, it's time for change "my friend." And with only two choices left, Obama or McCain, one is a clear change and the other apparently does not represent change. If the number holds in terms of this country being on the wrong track, Obama wins."
Those are the numbers.

Does that really suprise anybody . You may know , the UH Huh twisted tongue. And how much was going on behind the , shady curtain long before now.

Really will make no diff, uinless she does all the speach writing, for he will stumble even reading from notes.

Still say he not as smart as a fifth grader. Needs to drink some of Billy;s Beer . Sure Jimmy has a cellar full .

NOOOoooooo Obama. We don't need him , for his message , we need a change. Well that is all you will have is change, for he will price us out of our shoes.

Know he is not worrying , for Charvez , will take care of him.

Obama reminds me somebody I know: Hugo Chavez.

The reason Obama is the nominee is because most of his staff are former President Clinton advisors. Just add Patti to the list.

forget sentiments and do whats right. hill's campaign strategy was at best divisive…this is evident in dem. supporters swithching to the reps side. whoever Obama decides to be his running mate is entirely up to him- and I trust is a good decision as he has always exemplified.

OBAMA 2008

It wasn't Patti's fault that Clinton lost. She survived past Iowa. It's kind of scary that there is a lynch mob mentality among Hillary supporters. Richardson backed Obama? Lynch him! Females backed Obama? Lynch them for stabbing their sex in the back! Obama hired a top official from Hillary's campaign–who she herself fired? Lynch her, too! Hillary didn't win? Let's lynch Obama! And let's lynch the media too, because if it weren't for the media leading the people to blindly vote for Obama, Hillary would have succeeded in convincing everyone that she is the only female on earth worth electing President. Let's also lynch the DNC too, for sticking to their guns and punishing Michigan and Florida! Because if Hillary succeeded in seating the full delegation, she could have strong armed enough people to wrench the delegates away from Obama! Fkda rules!

Why are all these Obama and Clinton supporters such whiners, cry babies and whimps? I don't like your guy so I'm not going to vote, I'm going to write her name in. I'm voting for McCain. Why did they hire her? It was all her fault. Whaa Whaa Whaa.

No wonder you can't get anything done and won't win the presidency this year or in four years. If your party is made up of ignorant fools and do nothing canidates then no wonder your party is a disfunctional mess. And you deserve all you will get and make me happy I left your lame party years ago under the last fool you put in office.

You try and blame Bush for the war yet last time I checked the Constitution it was congress that declares war. Which makes the war just as much your fault as the other side. You cry on these forums everday that they should impeach Bush yet twice as many Americans approve of the job he has been doing then the Democratic led Congress. Yet both are sub par.

What a bunch of Chumps. LOL

She didnt get along with those that said win at all costs.It wasnt Hillary she didnt get along with it was the other fat meatball lobbyist that got thrown out later.She is very smart and im sure Hillary was sorry to let her go.

A note to hillary supporters: If you are impossible to please, then nobody will bother to try and please you. You should choose your next moves carefully

I want to be able to support Obama, but when he and his campaign do this sort of thing I really wonder about his character. Why does he constantly do things to offend Senator Clinton and by doing so he offends those of us who support him. When I watched him on the podium with VP Gore, Gore looked Presidential. Obama looked like a trainee. I may vote for him, but I will not donate to him or the Democratic party unles Hillary is his VP. That is a fact.

I may vote for him, but I will not donate to him or the Democratic party unles Hillary is his VP. That is a fact.

I still say it was an awesome move on President Obamas behalf…. anyone that knows anything at all about hillary clinton, Knows that she'll never work under a former subordinate. And in particularly one she fired….. The man knows what he's doing…… But I am sure the door stands open for her to ask for the position…. LOL…. Good move…..

And that is the fact.

YES WE CAN!!!!!

June 16th, 2008 8:15 pm ET

we need hillary clinton on the ticket for you need her help sp put her on the ticket and get to work on the problems as you promise thank you

I HAVE NEVER SINCE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T ACCEPT REALITY BEFORE.
IS THIS WHAT IT LIKE TO BE ADDICTED TO DRUGS, SMOKING OR GAMBLING?

THE WOMAN HAS TO WORK IF YOU WERE FIRED YOU WOULD WANT SOMEONE TO HIRE YOU SO I GUESS SHE SHOULD NEVER WORK FOR ANYBODY ELSE. SHE HAS BILL

Michigan voter-

You make no sense. I thank God that I dont hold a irrational grudge like you Hillary Clinton / Anti Obama people. You ALL make yourselves look and sound ridiculous. Sorry.

This appointment surprises me but it is a good way to bring the Barack and Hillary team together.

Clinton supporters, stop being divisive. He won. Get over it.

Also, he will be one of the greatest presidents this nation has seen in some time. Listen to Gore. At least he can see it.

The media made Hill the front runner, not Hillary. The media also shut John Edwards out from the the get go. Then Bill complains how Hillary was treated, yet never came to Al Gore's aid in 2000.
She will never be the pick for VP. The Clinton's have no loyalty to anyone but them self's. But are the first to point and wag fingers.
P.S. I voted for Hill on Feb 12th.

You know…it's funny. I always thought that Democrats voted for Democrats based on the shared issues. I will be the first to tell you that I was waving my yellow foam finger for John Edwards, and when he lost, I was torn as to which candidate to back. But with Obama being the presumptive nominee, he is DEFINITELY the candidate to back. After researching the man, and listening to his speeches, and checking out his stance on the issues, I definitely think he's a great candidate. He will give the world, in my opinion, a more approachable President than the US has had EVER.

I find it hard to understand these Democratic traitors, and am beginning to believe that they are indeed, the same Republicans who voted for HRC under advisement from Rush Limbaugh.

Don't you people realize that Rush was endorsing HRC because he knew she wouldn't be able to beat McCain in November?

Thank you all CNN for posting news everyday and balancing the political atmosphere with ¨the political ticker¨ .

I want you to know, guys, that you must stop being so egoist. You've got a clear choice this November. I can't imagine myself someone with the right judgment voting republican this year! I'm not American, but thanks to your Ol' Friend Dubya, your image abroad is way too broken. Needless to say, your economy. YOU NEED TO SAVE YOUR COUNTRY, YOU NEED TO SHOW THE WORLD YOU ARE A NATION that any other one would feel proud of even try to mimic. I know what you're gonna do. We STILL admire, but not as always, though!

The thing is, she didn't mess up her campaign. She was one of those that were against the direction the campaign was heading. Hillary made the mistake of keeping Penn with her for so long and was forced to release him only after scandal came up regarding him and Columbia. Solis will add greatly to the campaign as she will have positive people working with her who are all going in the same direction as opposed to the mess that Clinton insiders have said ran rampant inside her campaign.

So Hillary is more important than ALL of the issues she's believed in and fought for? Makes sense…

You are going to fight sexism by voting for sexism? Good luck to you with that.

Here we go again! It is hard to believe that once again, like in 2000 and 2004, there will be many voters susceptible to being manipulated by device aimed at their biases with the intention of once more subtly manipulating their vote. There is no doubt, as substantiated by the polls now four and eight years later, that there are many who regret being persuaded by the aggressive and deceptive appeal that was aimed at their concern for Christian values, for bipartisan unity, for strong hawkish protection and for a cocky and arrogant leader that would represent all of the people because literally all we got was a self-indulgent focus on benefiting Special Interests and a select few while giving only apathy, more subterfuge and the costs to the average American. The concerns were valid but the trust was misplaced. Now today Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive officer of HP, attempts to tap the sympathy and affection felt for Hillary Clinton and turn that into voting for John McCain. With hindsight, remembering ‘Swiftboat’ and all the rest, the manipulation is obvious and not all that subtle, not too different from the purpose of Karl Rove’s and Russ Limbaugh’s appeal for Republicans to crossover and vote for Clinton in the primaries. It is just the beginning of many efforts that will be used to distract voters from focusing on the issues and on making an objective decision for themselves. Personally I don’t want more of the same, not more of Bush-Cheney policies and not more of Washington as usual. However, the point here is that what each of us needs to do is to be on guard and refuse to be swayed by these attempts and to simply objectively vote our values and conscience. We need to insure that if we vote for John McCain, or for Barack Obama, it is because we believe that they offer the best chance for us and for our country and not just because someone got us emotional and focused on some bias/prejudice.

I know it's more fun to report on this as some major slight to Hillary…I think Turner must have a minority share in PUMA for as much attention as they get here…but….how about this….

David Axlerod has known Patti Solis-Doyle for a long time. He hired her. He clearly thinks it was not her fault for Clinton's losses. Mark Penn was, he knows that. End of story.

I'm sure Obama only hired her because he's a sexist anyway…

this is a win win situation for everyone… if obama had not hired anyone from the clinton camp, some crazy people would be complaining that he does not want clintonites

PSD is as bad as LSD. I think we are tripping. Otherwise why would you hire your own mole?

I hope she manages Obama's campaign to pick a VP better than she managed HRC's primary campaign!

For all you PUMA's who had supported HRC: do you really want to reverse Roe vs Wade? Do you really want the US to be permanently entrenched in Iraq? Do you really want economic policies that favor the top 5%?… No, I thought not. Then by voting for McCain, you will be voting for another 4 years of George Bush. Wake up folks! This is not a popularity contest — this is the future of our country that we're talking about!

United we stand… let's give Patti a second chance. We need to elect a democrat to the white house in November. All though I would prefer Clinton on the ticket as VP, let's let the dust settle a bit more. I am sure Obama will make the best decision for his campaign. Besides….2012 isn't that far away and we all know who will be the primary winner then!

All these hateful messages. Sounds like you are worshiping a person rather than God. If you don't want to vote for Sen. Obama – fine. But the world is watching and reading. People read these messages all over the world. When you spew your hateful attacks and smears, just what do you think the world thinks about Americans. You should be ashamed of yourselves. AND get some knowledge and information, e.g. learn what it means when someone votes PRESENT. People must think we are complete idiots.

Doyle to select VP candidate? LOL

She can't do squat. What judgment indeed. No Obama for 2008

McCain or Bugs Bunny if you ask me.

This Democrat From Michigan , Will Support , And Vote For
John McCain President , 2008
_________________

Nice try, but you're no Democrat.

Why should anyone care what Clinton's camp is happy or unhappy about? She lost, get over it and move on.

You do have to wonder about him hiring a woman who messed up several things while on Hillary's payroll…it better not come out that she was working for him all along…many of us already feel the nomination was stolen from Hillary. And in spite of the polls, many of us are not ready to jump onto Obama's bandwagon and start screaming for "change." I will never vote for McCain, but right now I cannot vote for Obama either. I do not think he can win without Hillary, and I am afraid that if Obama chooses a man as VP, McCain will choose a strong woman, and the Clinton women and others will have a reason to switch.

hey dash look at the poll numbers. Speak for yourself.

I Support Hillary She Is The Best Canidate For President , In A Race Between Obama And Sen. John McCain , I Will Vote John McCain For President . I'm A Life Long Democrat Like My Parents , And Grand Parents . But Folks I Gotta Tell Ya , John McCain Is A Way Stronger Canidate , Than Obama !!!

This November This Democrat Will Cross Party Lines , And Vote For The Republican Ticket . Party Issues Don't matter Anymore , Al Gore Is Endorsing Obama In Detoit Tonight , Obama Can Have All The Endorsements From Democratic Elete , Means Nothing To Me ,The Deal Is I Don't Endorse Him !!!

America Needs A Strong President !!!!

This Democrat From Michigan , Will Support , And Vote For ,

Sen. John McCain President , 2008

Patti sabotaged the Clinton campaign and now she is getting rewarded for it.

Hey seriously….
Go ahead and puke.
"Change yes we can" …..come Nov will become…
"Change that did not happen"
Your guy Obama is never going to win.
Again I say the DNC has a long history of selecting candidates that fail to deliver the votes. And while myself and many others continued to support the party hoping that just one time (Bill Clinton being the last candidate)–that maybe just one time they would pick a winner–but never seems to happen.
Gore—2 term VP–lost to Governor of TX
Kerry—4 term Senator—lost to Bush
They have no clue what is best for this country, and this rally behind Obama is prove yet again just how shameless they are..
The party that once represented the people, now has become the party that caters to the far-left liberal view of the world–completely out of touch. If I seriously thought Obama was for real…and could win back the White House, I would have voted for him. But I don't trust him, nor his wife. He is so ill qualified for the job that it is scary.
Goodbye party, its time for millions of us to move on.

It's a clear sign that he's his own person and not going to resort to doing what others think is right. Who cares if the Clinton camp isn't agreeing with his decision. The Clinton camp is only giving proof that if Hillary had been on the ticket, her side AND BILL would have run the whole thing. There is a reason he is picking Doyle and so far, his team seems right on the money with their choices. We'll see I guess.

Sore losers who care nothing about the party, but everything about the Clintons. I supported them from the beginning, but they have proved over the last few months that they care nothing about the party, and everything about themselves.

Give back something to those who supported you all those years.

Has anyone thought that Hillary truly doesn't want the position as VP? I'll be willing to bet money, that Hillary's plans are to do just as she promised. Healthcare! It might be done as Senator Clinton or it might be done as Sect. of Health and Human Services. Hillary is a smart lady, much smarter than many of her supporters who are trying to limit her to VP. My guess is Hillary doesn't want VP, but she has already told Obama she'll take the position as Sect. of Health and Human Services. Just like Edwards has indicated he'll take the position as Att. General because he doesn't want to limit himself to a VP spot. It’s about time the Hillary supporter set back and allow Obama, Hillary, Edwards and others do their thing. Remember, Hillary is a dynamitic individual. She knows what will best fit her and her future. Stop impeding VP on her and let it go.

Clinton mismanaged her own campaign. If people haven't realized it by now, the minions only take orders from HRC, they dont' give them. HRC set the agenda. She even said herself (go back and look at the clips), "this thing will be over after super Tuesday." If Ms. Doyle is as talented as she appears, Obama is right to tap her. Besides, she was just being used as the "scapegoat" for an arrogant campaign by HRC, starting with her feeling "entitled" to the nomination.

Well "dash" and any and all of the other still disgruntled Hillary supporters out there….. you are showing the rest of us just how little you care about the other citizens of the US, and how out of touch with reality you are. Hillary is not the nominee……… that's a fact….. and even she realizes the importance of not "blowing" this election. I am not so sure what people you think "won't vote for Obama," but if you were smart, considering the reality of the choices before us, I would be willing to bet my life savings on the fact that you are dead wrong about that and will be sorry that you weren't apart of the historic election that began the much needed changes in our country's government and around the world. Jump on the bandwagon or be left behind in your antipathy to progress.

o bama with little or no experience can not win the ticket as the head man…. it does not matter who he picks he is still a manipulator.bitter and lacks the integrity to lead just look at his senate voting record 138 times present…. now that is REAL LEADERSHIP… GOD bless america pray that this man never wins////

First I'd like to say- lots of people had grumblings in the Clinton Camp. That was their problem which lead to her demise. In-Fighting..

If TRUE: – Why do I find it NOT unusal for any "preceived" negative comments to come from the Clinton camp.. They treated Richardson with dishonor and disrespect.. Who could forget James Carville's comment.

I think Barack has a plan he has strategically put in place many, many months ago and now we are going to see it come to fruition with a huge victory in Novemeber.

If,,, and I mean with a stretch as I am not sure all the facts are true here in the piece- than HRC campaign harbors more retaliation than she will let on…. IF SO..- She is than making hidden agenda plans for her future and her future only… not necessarially for the good of America..

Hopefully this is an incorrect news release and there is actually more positive endings to the story..

Yes…WE…Can…

Hillary shoud not accept vp position, the man will loose in November why to prop a falling tree. It is not in her interest to go for number 2 position. She can stand tall on her own. I think O wants to drown her alongwith in November.
Stand away Hillary, the wise lady.

he cud even have the Pope in his campaign 4 all i care! But NEVER…NEVER…NEVER will he have our votes! Not in western PA and not on my watch!!!

PUMA

Hillary 2012

let him make his decision and stop inferring things

Hillary don't worry about this. This is just another way to show how ill advised he (Obama) really is and wait he will slip up.
Hillary for President!!

The b@$tard will tax us to death and while he's busy spending all our money, we'll be bombed again. I don't think people realize how dangerous this man is. This man is insane.

Brian Knoxville, TN ……………………………
NObama never. False prophet, or failed leader who needed to be
carried across the finish line by the political malpratice of the failed leaders of the undemocratic Democratic Party, or both? it's hard to tell.

JUST because of you BRIAN I am voting FOR OBAMA ……..YOU campaign against him every day …………..IF A MONSTER like you DISAGREE with HIM……….. HE must be GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY !!!!

One more reason for Hillary supporters NOT to vote for Obama!

Another question that just came to mind is who knows whether Patti was already secretly working for Obama from set go before IOWA? It could be that she was part of the plan to mess Clinton campaign up so she will not do well.

This is a million Dollar question. If not how can anyone explain why she should be hired almost immediately if she was a failure in another campaign?

I really think this was the wrong choice at the wrong time, i.e. the Obama team is trying to unite the party and bring Hillary Clinton' s supporters on board. I've been an Obama supporter for quite some time now. He's run at great campaign but I think this was a bad move, at least right now.

What Change? The only change the brainwashed Obama supporters are going to get is the face of John instead of George. The Devastation will continue, the war will continue, the draft will be iniated, the economy will continue to get worse, Health Care will be non-existent and Republicans will continue to have no clue!

And you all deserve every bit of misery you get. Only fools can be so blind to vote for He who cannot lead, cannot win, and cannot change the fix your in! Get ready for another Republican White House. Hope you all enjoy the misery you've lunged upon the World.

Clinton supporters can't wait to vote against this guy.

Please don't get upset at the Clinton Camp. We have to remember it's the MEDIA who is reporting the stories in the first place and we all know they are having it in for the Democrats since day 1.

These stories will not publish themselves so long as we stick together. YES — That's YOU too Clinton Camp. Please be happy for Patti because maybe this time around, she will make up for all the bad press she has gotten.

I'm really happy for her and wish Patti well.

Looks like Obama found a place for her to be used right, sadly clinton did not…

On with the issues please…

Who's Hillary Clinton?

Dash,

Don't be ridiculous. HRC mismanaged her campaign, and people know that, however strongly they may have wished for her to win, she and Obama are politically virtually identical. How many times do some of you need to be reminded that the Republican administration is the one that has led us to this national and international quandary?

If Clinton is not chosen as VP, it is because she rendered that impossible with her vicious, divisive campaign. I respect what she has accomplished, if not her methods, and laud her historic achievement for women–but it is NOT ABOUT HER or him now, it is about all of us. DO what is right for the country, our children, and the world.

THINK, people. Sheesh.

Settle down people. There's plenty of time for vetting prior to the selection of VP. Besides, all the Clinton supporters claimed all along that she was in it to win it. She didn't so let the man do his thing and if she's chosen good. If not, unite and move on. You all sound like spoiled children. Our "girl" didn't make the cheerleading squad, so we're moving!!! Come on people….grow up!!

Obama 08

The Clinton campain doesn't have the right to complain. It is upto Obama to pick the VP that he believes very important for the country, for his campain, etc. I will accept whatever decision he makes regarding the VP choice.

I'm a strong supporter of Obama but do have some questions about this move. First, it seems strange to pick the VP candidate's chief of staff when it's not even known who that candidate will be. I hope Obama knows what he's doing on this one and has good reason to think she'll benefit the campaign.

I Support Hillary She Is The Best Canidate For President , In A Race Between Obama And Sen. John McCain , I Will Vote John McCain For President . I'm A Life Long Democrat Like My Parents , And Grand Parents . But Folks I Gotta Tell Ya , John McCain Is A Way Stronger Canidate , Than Obama !!!

This November This Democrat Will Cross Party Lines , And Vote For The Republican Ticket . Party Issues Don't matter Anymore , Al Gore Is Endorsing Obama In Detoit Tonight , Obama Can Have All The Endorsements From Democratic Elete , Means Nothing To Me ,The Deal Is I Don't Endorse Him !!!

America Needs A Strong President !!!!

This Democrat From Michigan , Will Support , And Vote For
John McCain President , 2008

Yes write Hillary's name on the ballot and insure that the candidate with the policies farthest away from hers gets elected.

Wake up

It is not a good Fit for the any reason

Hillary is not bitter.

Hillary people need to move on.

Bill got 90% A/A vote and 37% White vote and won twice

Obama has those numbers right now.

McSame will loose like a war hero

Obama 08

All the Obama fanatics should attend the Trinity Church of Christ of Chicago and bring their daughters.

Stay there for twenty years listening to crazy, racist remarks. Watch the bulletins that support an Anti Semitic Nation of Islam leader, louis Farrakhan have 20,000 Muslim worshipers support their candidate.

Farrakhan is frightening. Google him. You tube him.

Now vote for him.

Clinton supporters and smart Americans are waking up to the "empty suit" of Obama. Not only is he empty but he's scary.

The hillary lovers are nothing more than children.

And if they love her so much then they should all just marry her.

They all just need to go away.

Just one more reason to top the millions of reasons people know that his decisions are so "noodle" in comparison to Hillary and McCains'. This man is another George Bush ready to happen with all his ignorance. I mean get real, you got a nominee here who's more concerned about putting a basketball court in the White House than the thousands that are losing their homes in all the flooding in this country. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have never seen a person more arrogant than Obama. The man has got more ego than brains! I will vote for McCain for sure and I was a Hillary supporter and proud of it!

beggers can't be choosers. Please Hillary supporters, realize your candidate lost…have u seen the light yet?

And this man (Obama) calls himself a uniter? This is so petty and belittles him even more in the eyes of Hillary's 18 million supporters. He keeps making the wrong judgements all the time and he thinks American people can be fooled so easily with rhetorics. Surely Obama has charisma but very empty on the inside as far as judgement and reasoning is concerned. I feel sorry for America if this man becomes President. This appointment shows how bitter and childish and imature and inexperienced Obama is. I can't believe he got the nomination and instead of throwing all the bitter exchanges aside and show Hillary some respect, he has chosen to do this to get back at Hillary. If care is not taken, Hillary could run as independent and she will win. Remember she only suspended her campaign and meaning she could come back anytime. Obama had better be careful. I don't know who is advising him but they will surely mess him up and I hope they do.
Now he just ticked off Hillary's supporters whom he is supposed to be working very hard to win. Remember "Once a soldier, Always a soldier". Once a Hillary supporter, Always a Hillary Supporter and at the same time, Once an Obama supporter, always an Obama supporter. Obama supporters are extremely loyal to Obama and at the same token he should not forget that Hillary's supporters are extremely loyal to Hillary. Hillary's supporters can not stand Obama just as Obama's supporters can not stand Hillary. So Mr. Obama, continue to listen to all those inexperienced staff of yours and keep on ticking off Hillary's supporters. This is good music to Hillary's supporters ears. It just goes on to confirm why they don't want you to be President and why they chose Hillary over you. If you don't have a sports man's heart then you should not go into politics. If you have to hold unto bitterness against your opponents then there is not going to be any difference between you and other dictator leaders of the world that became power drunk and eliminated all their enemies once they grabbed hold of power. Saddam Hussein and Idi Amin are prime example. This is America and it is a different world. I have watched every President in America no matter how great, insulted and riddiculed by the media and the public and called all kinds of names but they just keep doing what they are doing and don't pay any attention to the insults and bear no grudge even though they hurt. President Bush handles his attackers very well. He turns around and make a joke out of his critics and everybody will be laughing their heads off. He even makes a joke of his own mistakes sometimes and that is called a sports man's spirit.

So all am saying is that people are watching and keeping records. They will get back at you come November and I wonder what you will do at that time. You may never come out to give a concession speech.

why they hired her?

Hillary, So Sad, Too Bad, Suck it Up and Move On!

I disagree with that……….Hillary very happy because she told Obama to pick Patti and soon later Hillary going to be a VP on Obama ticket. People
do not believe what's politic said…..all they say is 90% lie. Other think is
Obama can't win general election with out Hillary.

seriously:

I am with you on this one. let her have a respite. turn the page and let's talk about electing obama.

Hill is out. her supporters should get it.

When I hear some of them say they will vote for Mc100yearswars, I tell myself I was right not to join that crowd: Imagine someone who was supporting hillary's plans for healthcare, and all other democratic views to be now saying they will vote for McSame? What is it in McBush that looks like anything Hillary stands for?

That simply shows that they weren't serious about change. They were just faking to want to vote for her in November, because they wanted Mcsame to use her high negatives against democrats in November.

I knew many of you will never vote for Obama just because he's black, you'll not even consider that he's half white.
Write it down today, in two years of McCain presidency you will sober.
McCain will continue spending 10-12 billions dollar in Iraq every month, he's always says he will never surrender in Iraq, that mean all his term in office the war will never end, no doubt about that.
What about using all that war money to create jobs in America? McCain will never do that because of his love for war.
McCain once said he knew nothing about economic, he just started talking about economic when he realized that that's the only way to get your vote.
McCain will be 72yr old this year, stop deceiving yourself, let's face it, he's too old to carry the whole world responsibilities on his shoulder.
McCain will not only continuing Iraq war, but also attack Iran. While America economic in recession and needs serious attention.

Tell me, how can someone who's always thinking succeeding in war, succeed in economic at the same time?

Call me crazy, call me mad. In few years of McCain in office you will be regretting and it will be too late.

Please allow Sen. Obama to pick his running mate without trying to push someone at him. I still do not think Sen. Cliton would be good for the ticked but if he picks her good, he is a wise man and I will still vote Democrat in november.

to seriously: please, if you cannot hear about Clintons, how did you survive the 8 great years under Bill CLinton? If you are such a neurotic, just stop reading, watching news on tv etc. Then you will find your peace.
Do not bother other people with your emotional problems.

I want to be able to support Obama, but when he and his campaign do this sort of thing I really wonder about his character. Why does he constantly do things to offend Senator Clinton and by doing so he offends those of us who support him. When I watched him on the podium with VP Gore, Gore looked Presidential. Obama looked like a trainee. I may vote for him, but I will not donate to him or the Democratic party unles Hillary is his VP. That is a fact.

She had been in the tank for Obama for a long time. Even when she was employed by Hillary. You can have her. What a traitor.

Perhaps the Clintons should show the public their ENEMY LIST so that we all know ahead if they would APPROVE or DISAPPROVE any person they might consider offensive to them!

Looks like their attitude of ENTITLEMENT still holding strong there.

Obama needs SOME of Clinton supporters, but, definitely he does not need ALL, especially not those finantical bitter people who complaint about everything.

I've got two words, So What!

I'm tired of everything being about Hillary! HE is the nominee and can hire who he wants! Stop whinning already!

Support Hillary She Is The Best Canidate For President , In A Race Between Obama And Sen. John McCain , I Will Vote John McCain For President . I'm A Life Long Democrat Like My Parents , And Grand Parents . But Folks I Gotta Tell Ya , John McCain Is A Way Stronger Canidate , Than Obama !!!

This November This Democrat Will Cross Party Lines , And Vote For The Republican Ticket . Party Issues Don't matter Anymore , Al Gore Is Endorsing Obama In Detoit Tonight , Obama Can Have All The Endorsements From Democratic Elete , Means Nothing To Me ,The Deal Is I Don't Endorse Him !!!

America Needs A Strong President !!!!!

John McCain President , 2008

WHO DID THE TWO CALL WHEN THEY MET OFF CAMERA? I BELIEVE THERE IS ONE UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN HILLARY AND OBAMA THAT WE ALL DON'T KNOW, MORE SO OBAMA IS A VERY SMART AND INTELLIGENT PERSON SO I BELIEVE HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING THAT IS WHAT WE CALL A LEADER.

Brian Knoxville, TN June 16th, 2008 4:07 pm ET
Obama is the best candidate for president we have ever had in my lifetime. No way would I vote for a loser like McCain. Tennesseans are proud to vote for Obama.

Obama 08′………..WILL THE REAL BRIAN PLZ STAND UP!!!!!!!!

If any of these folks were the nominee would they like a whole bunch of other folks constantly bickering with them. Smarten up and act like adults., even if you are not.

And what influence is Mrs. Clinton having over her supporters, after all?

I hope Sen. Obama will continue to run his campaign without any consideration of what makes Hillary upset.

There is alot to be said for the nearly 18 million people who went to the polls and voted for Hillary Clinton. They had a choice then and there is still a choice to be made. I do not speak for nearly 18 million people but I'll bet they are alot like me. I am in no hurry to jump on the Obama band wagon. I felt he didn't have the right stuff then and that still remains today. The only way I would consider voting Obama is if he had the intelligence, humility and honesty that she would be his best choice. If he just picks another woman, Clinton voters will be furious and go in the opposite direction fast. As you all can see, no one, so far of Obama's VP selections have even said "maybe". They have been quite clear….NO, not me! He will have a tough road ahead. Oh…and no one likes a turn-coat…Patti or anyone else.

This is horrible. Hillary 08′! as an Independent. I was all for her being VP and giving my vote to Obama, forget it.

And to you people that say "you clinton voters that dont want her now but want her in 2012 be careful because blah blah we wont vote for her then blah blah", shut up.

Hillary 08′ Independent! (im writing you in no matter what)

Who cares if they are unhappy. They will ALWAYS be unhappy. Life goes on. Anyway if Sen. Obama feels Ms. Solis Doyle is the right person for the job so be it! Maybe she will do a better job for Obama because the atmosphere is entirely different. They are far more professional and Obama is by far more organized.

P U M A = Purely, Unethical, Mixed-Up, Amorals.

This is a good thing I think, because, she was fired by Hillary and the campaign people was making it out to be that she stepped down and was still working in some other area. She was fired and needed a job so she was given a job on the Obama campaign or as a person that can help vet for the Obama VP. U Go Girl. Sore losers should just shut up and deal with the hand that they dealt themselves. Have you ever heard of BACKFIRE!?

CYNTHIA

I don't blame Hillary, Solis is a traitor of the worst kind along with all the other Clinton supporters that went over to this evil man. May they go down to the pit with this corrupt individual. Just remember, Solis, Kennedy, Kerry, Dean, Peosi, Richardson, Byrd politics and States that vote for you Judas' have a way of remembering come voting time. You ride with the Devil you surely will burn with him also. McCain 08

We all needed to take a break so you can thinks

Don/t you just love Obama's "respect" for Hillary. More empty words

Or a preparation for hill to be on the ticket?

Remember that we the people only know so much about what goes on.

May be hillary regretted firing the lady and now asked obama to hire her.

we don't know what transpire. I wouldn't hire anyone from the clinton, but I will ask them to campaign for me.

Obama has time and again shown disrespect for democratic supporters specially Clinton supporters as if they don't exist.

He will pay heavy price for his high-headedness.

His failed judgement about making friends, selecting church, etc etc.. are all pointing data that he will once again make a failed-decision and later regret.

"An aide to Obama insists the hire should not be read as indication of who their choice will be."

I'm sorry Sen. but your judgement is slowly but surely sinking you. Who are you kidding with that ^^ quote. Hiring Solis Doyle was a direct slap in the face to Sen. Clinton. I'm sure you could have found someone immenintly more qualified.

Nice move!
Obama gives her a second chance; everybody should be happy.
There is still room for the whole Clinton team; maybe except Mark Penn. Hilary will get the Department of Health.
Thank you all.
Let's unite and win the White House back!

If the Democrats keep this up, they will once again successfully snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. STOP THE BICKERING!

Hillary – every day you don't speak out, you fan the flames of a split in the democratic party. You said you would be out working hard to get Obama elected if he won. Well – I don't expect you to work as hard as when you were running – but you should at least have the insight to know that every day you wait, there are more and more votes going to the Republicans.

Without Hillary on the ticket as VP, Obama won't win PA., WV., OH., or Fl. Without Hillary on the ticket as VP, McCain has a chance to steal the election. Four (4) more years of Bush policy? I hope not.

If we don't stop talking about the Clinton's I'm going to puke… Granted this Patti women has had her issues with the Clinton camp, but I'm sure Obama is picking her for a reason. On with Change!

Who cares.

Hillary or McCain.

In this case it will be McCain.

I am puzzled by Obama's decision. It seems like a very bad decision to bring someone on board who is going to further divide those of us who still see Hillary as the best choice for President. I have always found Obama to be arrogant and this decision seals the deal for me. It definitely doesn't have me grabbing my check book but then maybe he thinks he will win without us and maybe he just will. Its frustrating to go from being so involved and so excited to now feeling like I just don't care and this decision only makes that feeling even stronger.

There is STILL a Clinton camp??? I guess her endorsement speech was AGAIN a calculated move (as usua???l!!) to further her VP aspirations! We are still talking about "us versus them" in the Democratic party?? With unemployment at 5.5%, gas at $4.15 per gal./regular, foreclosure rates rising, companies downsizing and cutting jobs, airlines folding under, State governments cutting costs to fund programs, $10-12 billion a month WASTED in the Iraq war, while AMERICANS suffer here at home??????!!!!!…..

Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me……I guess a lot of people surmised it correctly; it's all about The Clintons; no one else matters in America……

I am a strong Obama supporter, and also from the So. side of Chicago, I feel this was not a smart move, the timing was all bad.

At this point, when it comes to former staff members, the Obama campain should consult with Senator Clinton.

Oh yea, her ties to Chicago have not gone over looked either.

Silly, silly news. Why do people insist in reading between lines when you can't pry apart the lines to read between to begin with?

Why blame Doyle, there were much bigger players on the campaign with much more say such as Mark Penn & Bill Clinton, who are ultimately more responsible for the failure of the campaign than Patti.

Clinton was the presumptive nominee when the whole process started out, everyone was confident she would wrap up the nomination within the first two months of primary season. Blaming Patti for the failure of the campaign as a whole is silly!

As for Obama hiring her, I hope he has good reason to do so, after all he has shown good sense and political analysis so far with how his campaign has been run.

Clinton camp get over it Obama is allowed to choose who he wants on his VP Search Committee.

He does not have to pick Hillary to win in November and he is not owned by the Clintons .

Obama is the Change we need and is VP must reflect that .

An Independent minded Obama is why I voted for him and thats what makes Senator Obama such a great Candidate for President over McCain.

In the end no one is to blame for loss but the candidate. The candidate is the one with the ultimate authority, just maybe Mrs. Clinton could not effectively manage the manager. A campaign has to be run by like a business because it is a business. There is always a CEO of a company and Hillary Clinton just wasn't a good CEO, however Barack Obama has proved that he can mange his managers like a good CEO. For that reason Patty Doyle will do better on Obama's team.

There is only one team Obama/DNC.

What is with the us/them unless its Obama/McBush

Sen, Clinton was graceful in her last speech, maybe her staff needs to focus on either finding new work, or working with the "new sheriff in town" (think Blazing Saddles)

Hey, what happened to the Cllinton camp??? They're still around, right? I haven't seen them bust out as much. Ohhh I see now. Her camp is upset with the hiring. Ohhh well, is the Dems doing this to themselves………..I'm sure they understand.

I visited Hillary's website and found numerous references to the name "Hillary". From Hillary…For Hillary…By Hillary…Hillary this….Hillary That….Hillary Here…Hillary there…Hillary needs that…Hillary was here…there.. Talk about a deranged narcissism..

I also visited Barack's website and found about five reference to his name and everything else is about you and me. I felt like I am part of the campaign.

Sorry I don't even want to discuss my visit to McCain's website. I truly feel sorry for that guy.

I've been voting republican ever since I am eligible to vote (that's about 25 years) in local, state and federal elections. This will be my first election I will be voting for a democrat.

ALL OF YOU MCCAIN PEOPLE GO AWAY!!!!!! IT IS OVER

Senator Clinton:

You ran an awesome, inspirational and historic campaing. But you are owed nothing. You ran a race. You lost. End of story. You endorsed Obama, so that would indicate that you and your minions would stop publicly criticzing every move he makes on his path to change this country, that doesn't necessarily involve you or your approval. Get behind YOUR party's candidate already. Your a magnificent public servant. But your credibility is eroding by the day. How about some grace and respect for yourself, party and country.

I wish Clinton and references to her would just GO AWAY!!! She lost–end of story and it's not Obama's fault.

Who cares who obama picks for VP – I will NOT vote for obama.
The Millions of Hillary supporters feel the same way – obama is NOT qualified to lead our country and will never be elected – he is too RADICAL. He is very Arrogant to pick a Clinton team member – guess he is trying to UNITE us – NOT!-
The only reason obama is the nominee is because the DNC selected him – he did not win the popular vote – Hillary did, so, 2nd choice – McCain.

Another game to push Hillary out. Hillary shouldn't accept VP spot anyway. Because people vote for President, however strong the VP and other guys may be. And people won't vote for Obama. Write Hillary's name on ballot.

If she was being used as a scapegoat, the truth will see the light.

Obama's organization probably has specific plans for her for which she's best suited. VP chief of staff sounds like a position that requires a very competent person.

Obama's campaign is full of gifted, talented individuals. I guess that means Patti's pretty smart. We should all know by now to not underestimate the Team Obama.

Patti, you go girl!!

If Doyle had any integrity she would have refused the offer by Obama.
Of course, if she had any integrity she wouldn't have been sacked by the Clinton Campaign. Seems pretty clear now why the Clinton Campaign severed their ties with Doyle. If she is so quick to join the Obama Campaign now where were her loyalties when she was a staff member of the Clinton Campaign? I feel the inuendos that Doyle was responsible for Hillary's Campaign problems carries weight.

And why would the Candidate whose Campaign is all about change and who relentlessly referred to the Clintons as Old Washington Politicians, choose Hillary's Campaign Manager as a integral member of his team? Something wrong with this picture? You Betcha. I smell fish.

What happens if our presumptive nominee dies before the convention?

Why would one think that it would be a good thing for Obama to trash Doyle as did Hillary? Solis became just one of many "scapegoats" for Penn, Bubba, Ickie and Hillary's campaign failures. Remember, they were once good friends, now they are not talking. That is the Clinton gift to those who don't play ball with them.
This is a talented woman who deserves another chance.

Patti Solis Doyle's biggest weakness while working for her LONG-TIME FRIEND Senator Clinton seems to be the widely known fact that she was not very professional in her phone follow-through. I am sure that this is something that Senator Obama's staff will be monitoring closely~strange how yet another good friend of the Clintons has decided to actively endorse Senator Obama. When are the mad and spiteful Clinton supporters going to recognize that THE PEOPLE WHO KNEW HILLARY BEST AND UP CLOSE, AND NOT JUST THROUGH T.V. AND WEBSITES, HAVE DECIDED THAT SENATOR OBAMA IS THE BETTER CANDIDATE. Patti Solis Doyle is a white female that has known Hillary for years…how can you make this out to be sexist or racist?

Support the candidate who is going to make our lives better provided that we are willing to work with and trust our government a little more than we are accustomed to.

Obama '08~REAL change we can believe in.

I'm puzzled; Obama's campaign staff until now are the best in the business and have done excellent work; why change?

NEVEROBAMA………….. Obama and his UGLY wife will go down in November!…………MRS OBAMA is a beautiful BLACK Woman……MRS CLINTON……..NO BEAUTY QUEEN…………MRS CAIN looks likes JAMES CARVILLE

See ya!!………..GOOD BYE

McCain 08…………SORRY OBAMA 08

Oh no! An Obamabot has weaseled off with my name and has been using it to undermine my right to express myself fairly in our political system… oh no!

Wait a minute…

now where could a little mindless Obamabot have learned a trick like that?

Oh, that’s right, the Presumptuous Nominee formerly known as Obama Almighty taught him how to do it when he weaseled off with a nomination that he did not earn and does not deserve by means of blocking the counting of votes, taking delegates in Michigan that he did not earn and delegates in Michigan that Hillary Clinton DID earn, and by using his money or whatever to deceive the supposed leaders of the Democratic Party to enable him contrary to common sense and the party's principles…

Oh, you poor Obamabots. How hard it must be to work day and night for an empty cause… I'm proud of what I'm doing, and I feel sorry for you and for the fact that you have to descend to pathetic and sleazy tactics to have even a chance of beating me.

Puma PAC

If they are unhappy then they will get their act together. Now that they have ran one campaign into the ground for Democrats, I guess they want to do the same with Obama.

Hmmmm NEWS FLASH!!! Not happening Folks

Who cares what the Clinton camp thinks. They're toast!!
We must keep looking forward, not backward. Use the talent that is available, and keep the efforts focused.

Bil/Hillary will get over it and so will their supporters…………….if they are smart. Otherwise they are destined to 4-8 years of more Bushiness with McCain.
Hopefully, they aren't is that stupid or selfish.

Why? I simply do not understand.

The vetting process has

different set of criteria.

We shall see who 'll prevail.

Terry – So Hillary is such a great leader that she lost because of her workers screwing up? Where was her leadership skills in running her campaign? In hiring the right people? Or was she merely a puppet, and did what her workers made her do when they pulled her strings? Either way, she doesn't seem as if Hillary is very competent. Oh, and that 11 loss losing streak came after Ms. Solis Doyle left the campaign – so whose fault were those?

This is Obama's way of saying HRC will not be his VP. He doesn't have the courage and professionalism to tell her himself. He would rather drag it on and make it hurt even more. They call Hillary a sore loser, Obama and his followers are sore winners. They reek with hate and arrogance. Our country doesn't need that in the White House. McCain and the Republicans better prepare for the hate that Obama is about to unleash on them. I witnessed it first hand as a Hillary supporter and it was not pretty. They still spew personal hatred towards Hillary, even though they have won. I guess hate is all they know.

PUMA — Vote McCain

It does look like Obama will win in November. And it will probably be the worst thing that has ever happened to him. And the worst thing to happen to the Democrat party since Jimmah Carter.

Obama will pull one Keystone Kops blunder after another and (I predict) very quickly find himself up a creek of his own making. For example, if he pulls out of Iraq (and he'll have to now that he's promised it) he'll probably wind up with a spiralling mess of epic proportions on his hands, with Iran and Saudia Arabia on opposite sides (figuratively and literally) of a conflict. Muqtada Al-Sadr, safely tucked away in Qom right now, will return to try (perhaps successfully) to stage a coup and create an Iranian-style Shiite Theocracy. Scenarios that are likely (not just possible!) to come out of that would soon draw us back in. It would be inevitable and Congress would be at a near riot state. And Obama would find himself unsure about what to do. Why? Because he has ZERO experience in any of this kind of thing. And this is just the Iraq scenario. Obama will most likely create several other major mistakes – again due to inexperience.

Dems will blame the previous administration for all the woes they cause. But the bottom line is it will be up to them, as the elected administration, to manage all of it. Blaming Bush then will be an impotent argument. You break it, you own it. And if you think it's bad now, well it can get a helluva lot worse!

NObama N'08

I think his VP pick is sitting on stage with him tonight.

Patti Solis Doyle, has to make a living, if he wanted to be in the payroll of NOBAMA there's nothing wrong with that. Three LOBBYISTS are in the payroll of Obama, Doyle can be in the same payroll too. C'mon boys! take money from the sucker, he deserve every bit of it.

About endorsement of Al Gore, it doesn't matter. Although I voted for Al Gore in 2000 and campaigned for him, his endorsement of NONAME doesn't carry an ounce of weight for MODERATE democrats like me.

This is just the beginning of all the affirmative action hirings. If Obama becomes president our government will be more incompetent than the Hillary Clinton campaign was.

NO she will not mismanage the campaign because she has intelligent ppl in the campaign.. Who care what Clinton's ppl think sorry is not about them this time!!!!!

How sad it is that Hillary claims to care about women issues, and yet she lets personal feelings get in the way of women advancing in their careers. Why would Diane Finestein tell Obama not to dare select any woman other than Hillary as VP? Even if another woman was a better match for the position? Is Hillary that entitled that she would stand in the way of other women because she wasn't the chosen one? Patty has served Hillary well for many years, and if Obama feels he has a position that matches her skills, why should Obama not hire her? Imagine if you were a woman trying to get hire based on your skills and experience and some other woman was vindictive about your getting hired.

Isn't she a Democrat? Then why shouldn't she be on Obama's team….isn't this about a Democrat winning the election in November…. Please guys try and grow up and stop this stupid bickering

Who cares? I thought Clinton didn't want the VP job. She'd get a lot more done in the Senate anyway…

VPs have little to no bearing on voters. So the choice of who leads a committee to select a potential VP is not a huge deal. It is surprising Obama selected someone so inept though…

I think everyone needs to just give Obama space to get his VP stuff figured out. The Clintons, the media, and the public need to stop obsessing and meddling.

It is worrysome that Obama keeps choosing the wrong people for the job. It is pretty well agreed that Solis did a lousy job in Clinton's campaign. Not very comforting.

She was probably leaking info about Hillary to the Obama folks during the primaries.

Hillary should stay away from NOBAMA as far as possible; after brushing her off and flipping her off, he does not deserve her support. I'll always be loyal to Hillary but in general election I'd vote for McCain, I cannot vote for NOBAMA, he's a SNAKE.

Hillary Had Some Good People In Her Camp. . . They Just Didnt Outnumber The Bad Ones! Obama Has Taken The Best From Her Camp And Left The Rest! Now His Camp Is Stronger Than Ever! I Bet Mccain Doesnt Like This One Bit And Is Already Planning To Try And Vet Some Of Those People While Ignoring The Slime In His Own Camp! Every Time I See Mccain Smile I Will Know He Is Thinking About That Rape Joke!

The metaphorical equivalent of taking the knive already stuck in Hillary's back and twisting it. In Obama's case, it's self defense.

Hillary is the one, Without her DNC is done. Obama is full of hot air. Mccain is my choice now.

The divisiveness of the Clinton campaign yet again roars its ugly head. I had hoped that Hillary’s run for the Presidency would be a step forward, but in my humble opinion it has taken two steps backwards –sigh. Instead, what we have learned from this is — having a woman run for POTUS may create such large divisions within a political party that future valid, strong female candidates may have a difficult time being seriously considered for this high office. They are going to be branded as emotional candidates and therefore a liability to the party. No political party will want to deal with the emotional hysterics currently evidenced by Hillary supporters which may invariably cost the party the elections. If it does cost the Democratic party the GE this November then who ultimately gains from another Republican presidency?

The present emotional mind state and online rambling of Hillary's female supporters who want to pin the presumed nominee in a corner to do what, how and when they want in exchange for their support and/or vote is a vivid illustration of the division and emotional effects of having a female candidate run for POTUS. Most importantly, because their candidate didn’t win then they will not vote for the Democratic party in this November’s GE. Another clear indicator is the clear message sent to McCain who now feels he can not only woo, but win these female supporters. This is woman power?! Sad!

I expect Obama to give Hillary Clinton a substantial position in his government–a big job–an important job–a job that will utilize her skills.

And I expect him to name her specifically to a job BEFORE the November election.

Will you all please STOP !! This is about America and not Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton !! DEMS should Just GROW UP !!

This is just an indication that Patti Solis Doyle really is placing the best interests of the Democrats ahead of her personal feelings, unlike certain others who think the screaming head from AZ is really going to make it. The good news is that when McCain loses in the worst landslide in history, I can laugh at those fools for the next 8 years.

CNN…………….The news of Patti Solis Doyle’s hire by Barack Obama is not being well-received by many of those close to the New York senator and by former members of her campaign team

Senator ClInton is on vacation ……….in the meantime you guys should get a life ……..Patti was not the only one with screwup skills GET over it and move on

HRC campaign planned only thru Feb 4!!! If you are apportioning blame how about including Penn, Wolfson, Davis and HRC herself. Any good pol advisor always runs as if the candidate is 20 points behind. The Obama organization is probably the best political organization we have seen and a good indicator of how he will run the country when he is president.

What do they expect?Choosing her as VP would be like rewarding your dog for peeing on your best shoes ! Sheesh !!
I've never seen such juvenile & narcissistic action. Get over it !!!!
Billary LOST the nomination & has proven over & over to be unworthy of being in his administration mostly because SHE NOR BILL CAN BE TRUSTED . I hope NY votes her out in the next senate race. Her campaign ran out of money because she paid for votes .She can't run her campaign or her marriage.

There's plenty of blame to go around in that poorly run campaign. Patti
Doyle was not the only problem. Typically those people accept
no responsibility. Blame the sexist media, Obama for not allowing the Florida and Michigan votes to count, the SD's for voting
for Obama, Obama for having more money to run ads, Governor Richardson, states with caucuses and anyone else except the
incompetent people making decisions. I have always been taught
the first step to solving problems is accepting responsibility. Trust me
top campaign staffer,longtime adviser and top donor it works.

Please stop Romney from destroying social security.

Oh yeah… Hillary Clinton. I remember her. Wasn't she the one who said she would work tirelessly to help the party and help elect Barack Obama? Wait… that was like TWO WEEKS AGO?! So the question, I suppose is…

…WHERE'S HILLARY?

My guess is that she's letting the resentment fester in the ranks of her former die-hard supporters so she can use their McCain-vote-threats as leverage to force Obama's hand in picking a VP. Now THAT'S what I call party unity! Rah rah team!

This is proof positive that Hillary will not be VP.
It does not matter anyway. She is better off not to involve herself with Obama. She has the opportunity to run in 2012.

Conversely speaking, Obama does not have a chance to win without Hillary.

Small potato's, lets start hearing the issues that effect us and our everyday lives. I want to hear plans and courses of action from Obama and Mcain. I don't care about the everyday operations. Obama calls the shots and this person will not have any authoity to make decisions. Let me hear about the gas prices, health care, etc etc.

Hillary will not be VP anyway regardless of puttng Dole in this position, no chance, no how, no way!!! I have confidence in Obama's choice. If he had any doubt about picking Dole he would not have done so.

This lying underhanded man needs to fall and he needs to fall hard. I pray that all Clinton supporters will either not vote or better still vote for John McCain. obama doesn't deserve to be president of this country. Somebody needs to stop this worthless peacock.

There's been dissension in the Clinton camp all along. Solis Doyle was just a scapegoat for the mismanagement of the campaign. They get rid of her then wonder why she went to the other side?

We don't need Clinton on the ticket to win. I'm tired of her supporters that still think the DNC & Obama are to blame for her losing…quit acting liked spoiled little children that didn't get your way….she lost fair and square….and quit whining about MI & FL, they knew the rules!! There are more than 18 million of us that voted for Obama….add in the Independents and Republicans who couldn't vote in some of the primaries and we win back the Whitehouse!! Obama '08

I Support Hillary She Is The Best Canidate For President , In A Race Between Obama And Sen. John McCain , I Will Vote John McCain For President . I'm A Life Long Democrat Like My Parents , And Grand Parents . But Folks I Gotta Tell Ya , John McCain Is A Way Stronger Canidate , Than Obama !!!

This November This Democrat Will Cross Party Lines , And Vote For The Republican Ticket . Party Issues Don't matter Anymore , Al Gore Is Endorsing Obama In Detoit Tonight , Obama Can Have All The Endorsements From Democratic Elete , Means Nothing To Me ,The Deal Is I Don't Endorse Him !!!

America Needs A Strong President !!!!!

John McCain President , 2008

Solis is just a pawn used by god to entertain him in a minor election to him.

Hillary supporters 're bunch of morons…What is wrong to hire someone that worked for Hillary—this is absolutely silly? Hillary's campaign is ended and she should move on with her life. Hillary's supporters get a grid stop acting childish…………….

THERE IS NO LONGER A CLINTON CAMP.

SHE IS OUT GET OVER IT.

WHO CARES

You heard it here first – "she will not be Obama’s vice presidential pick"

While asking you to look at her photo gallery on the web, Hillary tells you she'll be in touch "soon."

It turns out that you get touched for money as soon as you try to look at the photos!

Now, that's pretty darn soon, all right.

Just another corrupt Chicago political hack.

NEWSFLASH…Clinton is not entitled to be President or Vice President

Who cares if she isn’t his VP choice? This is the Barack Obama campaign and will be a Barack Obama White House. You either get in line or step aside. Clinton suspended her campaign so how about they stop releasing press statements unless it’s to say she is official ending it.

The only person to blame for Hillary's loss is Hillary herself! She came out as a "hard-core masculine" candidate which came across as unnatural and phony.

Has the Clinton family decided to fully vett Bill's Library Contributors? If not, Hillary should make a clear statement that she is not interested in being VP. This playing coy about wanting the Vice Presidency, and the rumors of why she would never accept the role is destroying the Democratic Party even more.
The main difference between Clinton and Obama has to do with Obama's desire to return to a higher income tax rate for the rich, and slashing taxes on Middle America. Since rarely do the rich or their children allow themselves to serve in Harm's Way, is that not a full justification for higher tax rates for the wealthy?
The President must have a Vice President who at least will agree to publicly and privately support the President, as well as his economic and foreign policy decisions.
Some of this I've said before, but never in this context!

Who cares what the Clinton Camp thinks. I mean they fired her, so should it even matter at this point…..The Obama Camp is way too smart and know what they are doing…

I love how some in the Clinton Camp is blaming her!

Makes you wonder since Mark Penn didn't know what the heck he was doing!

I cannot believe that Hillary or her staff honestly think that Obama is going to pick her as his running mate. Why should he? And most of us can list a number of reasons why he should not. Those reasons have been well documented by CNN and other news outlets.

Hillary will remain on Obama's short list until the end (to appease her supporters… it would look like he totally dissed her if he rejected her early). It'll come down to Hillary and one or two other people in the end. But the final choice won't be Hillary. And, unless the Clintons have something on Obama, the Clinton camp has to know this.

Obama, in hiring PSD, is saying that she is competent and that he trusts her. If she didn't royally, fatally, screw up Clinton's campaign with a startling mistake of omission, then was her failure to plan not a mistake?

Was it on purpose?

Why else would Obama have trust in her competence?

All the people complaining about race or the color of ones skin has a real problem. If you have to mention or say anything about color or race think about it you have a definite problem. The most hipocritical person is the one who says all of the derrogatory things about Senator Obama yet if elected and by chance should they be in his presence it would be kiss up time to the enth degree.

Why hasn't Hillary appeared on stage with Obama in support of him, the official DEM nominee since she said she would support him and do what she can to help him get elected after she suspended her candidacy???

This is terrible why on earth would he hire someone from the HRC camp the way her campaighn was screwed up and mismanage.

Please OBAMA keep close eye. beside I would not trust anyone from the HRC Camp.

GO Obama but beware

So they fired her and don't want Obama to hire her?

Come on… if this is how women are going to run for president and lose behave… then stay in the freaking kitchen!!!

Welcome to the "O" Team! The "Winning Team"!

Go Bam… all the way to the White House!

"according to a longtime adviser, a top campaign staffer and several major donors"

Sounds like hearsay as usual. It's either a reliable source or an insider that has all the information. …And once again Obama Supporters spew hatred about Hillary Clinton when she hasn't even opened her mouth. McCain is starting to look much better to me!

We're all Democrats, it should not be an issue that Doyle is working for the Obama campaign now. However, you have to wonder how much credibility she has.

If Obama and his campaign really wants to bring about the change they talk about then they will have to get elected first. In order to do this he needs to have Clinton on the ticket. If petty history between candidates or people in the political arena keeps her off the ticket then we are much more likely to have a Republican president for another four years and no economic relief. I hope people really consider what is best for the people.

For those saying Obama should go to Iraq, what exactly do you think will be gained by the red carpet tour he's likely to get? Remember McCain's tour of the market place? What a joke. There are number of congressmen who prefer to look at the cold hard facts instead of the rose colored views sure to be had on any tour. As for Obama's resume- I'll take a brilliant man's thin resume to a dull man's resume littered with failure after failure.

All Democrats should support our candidate!Hold your nose if you must,but respect the rest of us for our decision.There's a world of difference between the parties as you well know.

Will Hillary be VP NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! She WON't!! No matter who is chief of staff!
Hillary is HISTORY!!

Well another sign why we should not vote for him. His only slim chance of getting my vote and many other clinton supporters votes was to choose hillary as vp. Ill be voting for McCain at least it just 4 years.

There were so many mistakes that the Clinton campaign made; how can this be blamed on one person. Who's to say that the VP pick won't be Clinton. If it is or isn't, does it matter? It could be that the VP pick could dismiss this person a day or two after coming on board.

Hillary Clinton is the one responsible for the campaign she ran. Every move that was made or not made in Hillary's campaign, she signed off on. I like the hire on Obama's part.

She was useless in the Clinton campaign and completely mismanaged the financial end of it. Hillary's loyalty to this incompetent person was part of the reason for her downfall.

Terry, you should know better. I grown person like you remain so childish in this election cycle. If you want to look at elements that screwed up Hillary's campaign, you need to look at those who remain after Ms. Doyle was gone. Please, look at the reality. We need change. It can't all be about emotion. We need change. American need change. The Democratic Party must take charge again to change America's course. Also, we must hold Obama, and all political leaders, accountable. It's not about Hillary or Obama. It's about that American people like you and me. It's about our great Constitution. It's about our children.

And Dorsey Williams, it's not required for Hillary to be on the ticket. You should not make it mandatory. Under no circumstances in recent time have we forced anyone on a Presidential ticket. Why are you making it so now? Why have so many attempted to "blackmail" Obama to put Hillary on the ticket? Are you making the issue Hillary? Is it all about Hillary?

Obama and Hilary primary was the ugliest and most divisive. Taking Hilary as running mate would do more harm than good. Whoever puts US economy as number one priority ought to win. Those want more wars and obliterate iran are out of date.

OBAMA LOVES TO PUT THE KNIFE IN AND TWIST IT, THIS TIME HE TWISTED IT TO FAR AND A LARGE GROUP OF CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL NOW NOT JUST VOTE FOR McCAIN BUT CAMPAIGN FOR HIM AS WELL. IT IS BEYOND ME WHY OBAMA WOULD TAKE SOMEONE WHO SCREWED UP HER CAMAPAIGN TO DO THE SAME TO HIS. HE WILL USE ANY CHANCE AND EXCUSE NOT TO PICK HRC FOR VP. SOLIS HERSELF SAID SHE WOULD NOT TAKE THE JOB IF HRC WAS VP WELL THERE IS YOUR ANSWER. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL 11/4 TO SEE OBAMA LOOSE BECAUSE OF HIS IMMATURE, RACIST,UNEXPERIENCE, NOPATRIOTIC,ELITE, POOR JUDGEMENT ATTITUDE

Regardless, I don't know why Obama would hire someone lazy and incompetent such as Patti Solis Doyle.

Hillary lost get over it ! why are you dwelling on it ! you are acting like you are in a cult, however you writing these comments may not even be Clinton supporters, you could be republicans trying to run your dirty tricks. either way no disrespect to true dems and screw the GOP!

If B.O. is thinking of Richardson for VP. He better remember how he came to his team, once a traitor always a traitor. That would be for me an absolutly No for B.O. Hillary is the one, You have to give her the fact that shes smart,and a fighter and she knows how to handle Washington insiders. If we want to WIN it better be her, she has Earned it.

Why does it matter. Since when was it a rule that she had to be VP anyways? This isn't high school politicians and supporters need to grow up and see the world, don't hate one someone just because they beat your friend this isn't high school its our future

VICE PRESIDENT CLINTON
or
PRESIDENT MCCAIN

“I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. Sen. John McCain has a lifetime of experience that he’d bring to the White House. And Sen. Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.” ~ Hillary Clinton — March 3, 2008

"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience today…" Barack Obama , Memorial Day (5/26/2008)

Hey Brian in Knoxville, and other Puma advocates,
the people voted. Not the DNC.
I know you wanted Clinton, I wanted Richardson.
My candidate didn't get it. Your candidate didn't get it.
So, since your kid isn't the heard cheerleader, or star quarterback, you want to go to the other side and root for the opponent?
All while your kid is still on the team?
Again, Clinton didn't win, but has asked her supporters to stay with HER team.
I don't get it but maybe someone else will explain it.

Brian in Knoxville is a REPUBLICAN (like all PUMA's) who does nothing but spread discontent and hatred amongst people. His comments are not constructive one bit and if he was a good person, he would be trying to help fellow Americans with the flooding rather than posting on here all the time.

Why does Doyle get the blame for the Clinton fall? Is it because she's a woman– and it's easier to blame a woman then the dumb as* men running Clinton's campaign?

Let's all work together. When Solis left the campaign there wasn't supposed to be any bad blood, so I don't understand what all the conversation is about. Solis and Clinton have been friends in the past; why would they not be able to work together now when they know each other well. This is not to suggest that Hillary Clinton will be the VP pick, but either way a Solis hire shouldn't be a big deal. We the people, For the people, By the people. Let's take our country back!

Apparently everyone is at fault for Hillary losing except hillary. You bitter people are acting like grade school girls. Who Sen. Obama appoints is not about hillary or you and the winner in the primaries does not need the approval of the loser prior to appointing his staff. She lost not because of anyone else. She was in charge (or Bill was in charge) either way to scapegoat people who reported to her and absolve her says she was at best an ineffective leader if she allowed her staff to run amok.

Glad she went to the empty suit. Maybe she can impart some knowledge in this clown who wears gloves to shovel and doesn't know who the president of Iraq is. For that matter I don't think he knows who the president of Russia is either. What a loser,.

For your info, he is a quitter too. Quit his preacher, quit the new preacher, quit his church, wants to quit Iraq. Has the makings of a serial quitter. I am worried about this cream puff who espouses cotton candy in his speeches.

Give me a break

I dont see why he hired her. First of the Obama camp had to know the reaction the Clinton camp would have and why would he would want to create this drama? Second, Solis has been given a symbolic job. Nothing but a symbolic job. Thirdly, she was an incompetent fool.

This is clearly some crazy background game that makes no sense to me.

DeeJam: Obama wouldn't know what to do from day one. And as far as Solis is concerned her husband is connected to Daley who endorsed Obama. Hillary should not have hired her in the first place. You don't hire someone whose husband supports Obama. Hillary made too many mistakes later on in the campaign. Mark Penn was also one of them. But the biggest ones were the superdelegates and they were told who to vote for. A few black superdelegates got threatened but I think Obama's camp did that and they were dumb enough to listen. Also this generation of young college students who don't know which way the wind is blowing from the drugs all voted for Obama. Of course I don't give them credit for their stupidity.

She is a Democrat …. Aiding/Helping the Democratic Nominee … So what's the big surprise …

you all were expecting her to join the Republican camp?? ……… *shakes head*

she was probably working for Obama when she was working for Senator Clinton—-

Wouldnt that be a sign he is picking her? To pick her head of staff to be the new VP head of staff. Wouldnt the VP pick their own head of staff, and not be picked by the President?

Until now people is not believing that Barack Obama is a Muslin, actually he just use Crhistian religion to attain his political ambition. He fools people and we can see it by his inconsistencies of his words and ideas. He can't hide his personality, time will come that everything about him will bubble up and burst like a bomb.

Hillary Supporters, what do you think of this hire?

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!!

If ya smellalalala what Ba-Rack is cookin'!

Hmmm, maybe the hire is a payoff.

when are the clintons supporters going to grow up and accpet that hillary lost? babyboomers are the biggest group of whiny complaining crybabies ever!

Look at the polls

BO has held onto just about zip bump since he won the number of delegates needed

Many pundits noted back then – if he received and held 7-9 points in the polls he would not need his ex foe on the ticket

He got a temporary bump of about 4 points and has held about 2 points

He needs the voters of HRC to get MI and PA – as we already are hearing he has written off OH and FL

Put HRC on the ticket fast and faster and get on with winning the WH for DEMS

The proof is in the pudding – BO can NOT win without the 15% or so of HRC DEMs (7.5% of total) who are now holding back

I do not agree with with 15% of HRC supporters – I now back BO – but egads – its obvious she must be on the ticket – The DEMS can not affor to leave 7.5% (approx) of DEMS behind and win

Every One deserves a second chance to prove their worth. We do not know exactly why she was fired from the Clinton klan. OBAMA 's people are very smart.

So long as this is Solis Doyle's only role . . . it seems okay to me. I agree she mismanaged Clinton's campaign . . . but this appointment doesn't involve managing (or mismanaging) Obama's campaign. It's limited to vetting Vice Presidential prospects.

Clinton has herself to blame for screw-ups by Patti Solis Doyle and Mark Penn. Clinton tended to be imperious, and to encourage her lieutenants to also be imperious. That meant constructive criticism wasn't allowed. If there had been some constructive criticism, maybe her campaign would have gone better. Hillary Clinton set the example for her lieutenants.

I like Hillary, but dear God, hasn't her cam[aign staff used up theri 15 minutes of fame yet?

Why couldn't this mean that Hillary WILL be Obama's pick for VP? It was my understanding that Patti and Hillary were still on good terms when she left her post. Perhaps they could work together again. Why jump to the worst conclusions?

Who cares anyway since Obama is destined to lose big time!

Wow I bet, one day, there will be an organization centered on disgruntled people so all they can do is tear down the democratic nominee and offer NO plan on how to make Washington better. Oh wait PUMA already exists!

I don't know why Hillary is not running as an independent to payback what the DNC and Obama did to her. She should not have endorsed him she should just said I will stand behind the democrat party. Hillary did not concede but suspended her campaign. She should have won that nomination but the three stooges, Dean, Reid and Nancy made sure she didn't. What you do to someone it will come back to haunt you and their luck is going to fail. That goes for Kennedy, Kerry, Edwards, Biden, Richardson and Gore. It will happen sooner or later but its coming.

I still say it was an awesome move on President Obamas behalf…. anyone that knows anything at all about hillary clinton, Knows that she'll never work under a former subordinate. And in particularly one she fired….. The man knows what he's doing…… But I am sure the door stands open for her to ask for the position…. LOL…. Good move…..

Get to know the real Obama in his own words. Read 'the audacity of Hope" for the real Obama. It should be titled the Audacity of a Dope.
Americans will not elect a Black Muslim. We are not that desperate or stupid.

Wake up America before it is too late.

I'm not sure exactly what you Obama supporters don't get—–
We Clinton supporters just DO NOT LIKE HIM–PERIOD. If we did in any way shape or form, we would have considered voting for him to begin with. We did not, and we will not. Its really that simple.
While some may vote for McCain, others of us will exercise our right and not vote at all. We ARE NOT republicans operatives, and YES we were (note-past tense…were) supportive of the party for many years—even when the choice was a bit hard to swallow. However this year we were asked to choose between an ill-qualified candidate in Obama, and a very qualified candidate in Clinton—we chose Clinton. There are no—I mean no arguments that will pursued us otherwise. Collectively, many of us have carried the water for the DNC for many years, and yet we find ourselves unable to drink from the same well.
Well enough is enough, no more. The DNC needs to be taught a lesson—this year they will hear from us loud and clear.

Hillary has to be responsible for her own career ups and downs. She surly is not demonstrating a team spirit if sharing talent from her crew is so troubling.
I am not sure how true all of this "unhappiness" is but it suggest a very selfish attitude. I hope this is not true because I'd like to see her continue as NY Senator with dignity. I'm hoping see will help with the Sean Bell case in New York City.

K. Bell NYC

Wednesday June 18 more crazy , Obama stuff

I am getting so sick and tired of this loser acting like the world has done her wrong. She lost fair and square and yet she and her followers continues snivel and whine. I think it would be a severe error for Obama
to consider her as she is the epitome of selfishness and emotional instability.

This just in…

Obama will choose General Wesley Clark for VP!

Obama/Clark 08!

You heard it here first.

…meanwhile the world mocks this entire charade as nothing more than soap operatic gunk.

Pressing needs exist, an unnecessary war must come to an end, people starve for basic necessities as a result of events of cataclysmic proportions and we grumble over trite garbage as this.

We got to where we are by our own wanton disregard for what is and should be truly important in this world.

Shame on us.

As the campaign implodes and devours each other… where is Hillary? Or is she actually happy to see Solis Doyle get turned on like that?

What was once… a glorious team… is now… just petty. Where's the leadership? Was there ever?

OBOMA WON THE SUPER DELIGATES,RIGHT? HE DID NOT WIN THE POPULAR VOTE RIGHT?THERE HAS BEEN A DEVIDE IN OUR NATION RIGHT? ALOT OF ANGER RIGHT? SO I HAVE A QUESTION FORE ALL OF YOU WHO ARE STILL KICKING HILLERY. WE ALL HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR ALL HER WORK IN THE SENATE. SO LETS GROW UP AND BACK OFF. HILLERY IS A GREAT WOMAN. FEW MEN COULD DO AS WELL AS SHE HAS DONE. DO YOU HOPE OBOMA CAN DO AS WELL? I PRAY HE CAN.

Why should any Hillary supporters think bho would pick her as VP. The dnc already SELECTED hussein as their candidate. They think he is so God like why does he even need a VP.

Not O's job to make Clinton camp happy. H threw her under the bus. She's a free agent. The message is H is not on O's list. for vp. McCain's sexist remarks have driven away.

if he picks h.c. as his veep i will not vote for him as i was planning to.
if he wins were her the blair house will become a den of iniquity like
the white house was when w.c. was pres.

It's not good for Hillary Clinton to be behind Barack Hessein Obama, she's too good to be his veep. Obama is a fake guy with nothing to give but words. Clinton supporters will never back this inexperience and arrogant guy.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH……….Do you honestly think everyone would have been happy about everyone that Clinton would have chosen for certain position in her administration, if nominee? The media, then you would have been informed, PERIOD. Never would Clinton had a voter (supporter or not) tell her what to do. Maybe if you unhappy voters would have mistreated, told lies, belittle and treated Bush in this manner and expected him to be a "MASTER MAY I" type of president, maybe we wouldn't be in a war, high cost of gas and food. A much better economy.

Obama is not that type of MAN, so get over yourself.

We as voters are all equal, non of have the right to demand McCain or Obama to do what we say. We as voters need to RELIZE, we can not dictate what the president can and can do. These are acts that belongs back in the 1600’s, not 2008. I guess Senator Dole knew what sick supporters we have in our party, judging from her statement……. Senator Dole said this “Democrats had to choose between one candidate who said she’d obliterate Iran and another candidate who said he wants to invite Iranian leaders over for dinner and then maybe a chat after dinner with a good cigar—Cuban. I’d imagine. I DON’T want EITHER of those TWO answering the White House telephone AT 3 o’clock in the morning”.

Obama 08

Give this SMART new administration a break!!!
There's a wide range of choice!!
Its about CHANGE!!!!! I'm sure Everyone will be taken by surprise
Only SMART Figures will serve in this GREAT GREAT Administration, its NOT a wise idea to push someone go for something, he/she's not happy with!!!!!
(Obama-//x//-Al-Gore) or (Obama-//x//-Hillary) Both will make a landslide 70% to the whitehouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New America!!!
For those who dream of voting Mc++Bush, Please dont waste time!!!!
The ENTIRE WOLRD Hate the Repblican!!!!!

Obama has plenty of talented people already – there were talented people on Clinton's team too but not PSD from what i've read. Maybe it's a pity hire.

we dont need Hillary or her screaming women to win this election.

McCain 08,16

Who cares what the Clintons like of dislike?

If he thinks this will get him the Hispanic vote, he is mistaken. These props don't work for us Patriotic Mexican-Americans that value our country and will not allow the Muslims to control it for one second. The word is out we know who and what he is and we don't like it.

McCain has our votes. Check out (google) Adelfa Callejo. to know why.

John McCain does NOT need Hillary or her screaming women to win this election.

McCain 08

I see no problem here at all. Patti will be great for the campaign and it only shows how Barack will gradually absorb some of Clintons campaign staff. The Clintons are still crying,,,, come on already! We are all together in this.

Good pick!

Clinton has a snow ball's chance in Haddes being asked to be VP. The Democrat Party who turned on her & did nothing to confront the degrading and demeaning treatment she received by the media hope she will go away. Well, her loyal supporters will write her in on the November ballot and send them a message that they can join that snow ball in Haddes.

Obama's hiring of Solis Doyle is not a slap at Clinton. Obama's not that stupid.

Solis Doyle goes back to the Daly campaigns in Chicago and has worked with Obama's senior advisor, David Axelrod (who also worked with Clinton).

Solis Doyle gets along with the Clintons fine. Obama's not putting her in charge of the campaign infrastructure. Rather, she'll work as the VP's chief of staff. Something she did rather well with Hillary in the White House.

Basically, Obama picked someone he knows can work with Hillary and would be working for him, not Hillary, as her successor Maggie Williams would be.

It would be nice if the HRC supporters would simply get over it already. The reason why Hillary lost is because she was the candidate. I do not think I have ever seen a group so ready to blame everyone else. There is something to be said for people who refuse to take responsibility for their own shortcomings…

""[T]here was no modicum of planning, none of the backup plan that would be in place at any smart campaign in the event we'd lose Iowa, no planning after Super Tuesday,""

shouldn't hrc have noticed that? why blame doyle?

vote with love for country, vote obaba

Sounds like sabotage….good old fashion Chicago politcs…well played Obama.

Independent??

You just can't leave Hillary alone. She is still my pick for President and I have very many mixed fillings about Obama. He just doesn't have what it takes to be President. What did Hillary ever do to you guys and gays out there that causes to always say negative things about her, or you just jealous that she made it big and you didn't, LEAVE HER ALONE, she still is the best choice for President, and I and my family would vote for her in a heart beat. I don't think if I were Hillary I would lower myself to being his VP, she can do better. Yes, I get very upset when Hillary's so called supporters, jump ship, wonder if anybody out there knows what 'loyalty' means. It doesn't mean, 'be a friend as long as there's something in it for yourself'. God Bless Hillary

Hillary for President, not Obama

Wow, didn't see this coming. These hires of former Clinton staff members have convinced me that Obama is serious about creating not only unity within the Democratic party, but that he is the type of leader that can unify our country. I failed to notice this in my anger after Hillary dropped out, but now I realize I was only blinding myself from our next great leader. I take back anything nasty I said about Obama and his supporters. Also, I'll admit that the whole PUMA thing was kinda dumb. I'm all Obama now!!!

President Obama '08!!!

I Didnt Know Hillary Still Had A Camp!

New Obama senior advisor Patti Solis and her husband's $192,500.00 compensation package from his tax exempt entity filed from their home address

http://www.webofdeception.com

Well, I hope that this isn't an indication that Senator Clinton won't be the VP pick. I believe that she would ben an excellent VP for Senator Obama. It will be as disappointing to me as that "whitey" lie that is being told by the GOP' s Fox news network .

Democrats to find the truth, and to fight the smears(LIES) go to:

http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/factcheckactioncenter/

….to fight the smears. or whenever you need the truth.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

Does not the candidate bear the entire brunt of blame for the failure of her campaign? If she was such a qualified leader, ready to take the reigns on Day One, then why was her "inevitable" campaign an unmitigated disaster? Why did she not make the correct choices to get her where she wanted to be?

what a bunch of backstabbers…I just dont understand people these days. The chick ruined Hillary campaign and is now working for obama's campaign.

Maybe she'll get the hint and go back to New York, Arkansas, Illinois, Pennsylvania or whever else she claims to be from. Good riddance.

Sorry, but Clinton doesn't count anymore. Even if Obama loses in November, and Clinton wins the nomination in 2012, she will never have my vote.

Her antics during this primary season were disgraceful and cemented millions of people's opinions of her and Bill's She and her campaign took Obama as a joke.

I will be proud to lose with Obama, then to win with another crooked Clinton.

Nice move. Democrats needs to win the white house…

Poor, poor Hillary ~ how will Bill spin this?

I could have told you that Obama was not a nice guy but nobody would listen to the general public we are not smart enough to come in out of the rain, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR OBAMA.
If I never get to vote again! I will not condone what he will do to AMERICA?
Cliff

She probably needs a job.

The so-called Clinton camp needs to get a grip! This is just another example of their petty whining that most Americans got sick of during the campaign. Why would anyone with any intelligence even think that anyone within the Clinton camp would have any say over who Obama picks for his campaign staff? The Clinton's, the Clinton camp, the Clinton Campaign, whatever, lost the Democratic election. Just a another attempt by Hillary to try to sway her supporters to not support Obama if she is picked as his veep. Most Obama supporters and the American people don't want her on the ticket. They were out of touch with reality throughout the election and apparently still are. They simply need to get a grip!

Why does Hillary Clinton's website still have a Support Hillary for
President request and form on it? Seems kinda funny if she is
supporting Obama that she is still seeking money for her presidency??? Anyhow, I am thankful to see that there is at
least a few Clinton supporters willing to unite the party.
Obama 08

Cant wait for the press release from the Clintons:

DOYLE IS A RAGING SEXIST and we wont stand for this !!!

If Hillary is not Vice President pick, we will not vote for Obama.

Some of the Clinton supporters seem to be overly sensitive about the consideration of Sen. Clinton for VP. Let's get real. It is going to be the one who seems to be that VP candidate that can best help Obama get elected. All other considerations really don't matter if you can't get elected. It will probably be Sen. Clinton, but two months is a long time in a presidential campaign.

It's real simple…….Obama chooses Clinton as his runing mate and he gets my vote……..he chooses someone else and McCain gets my vote. There are millions more voters out there that are thinking along the same lines.

Maybe this is the price Hillary will have to pay if she wants to be Obama's VP, to put up with Patty Solis Doyle. Obama might be sending Hillary this message: If you want to come on board, it 's going to be on my terms. I'm the one calling the shots, and I get to choose who works in my campaign. Good For Him!!!!

I can't remember a nominee, even when Bill Clinton was the nominee, that voters acted in the manner of some of you voters. Do you honestly think everyone would have been happy about everyone that Clinton would have chosen for certain position in her administration, if the nominee? The media would have to relay her decision to us as voters, and we would have had to except her decision and live with it. Although some of you think you were so special it would have been different, is a person madly mentally ill. Never would she had any voter tell her what to do, that‘s was obvious when she refuse to concede. I don't know how or why a few of you think you have the RIGHT to tell Obama what right and what‘s wrong for him.

Maybe if you would have mistreated, told lies, belittle and wanted Bush to be a MASTER MAY I type of president, maybe we wouldn't be in a war, high cost of gas and food . It’s sad that how some of you think Obama is suppose to do this, he‘s a grown MAN, not a boy. I hope he ignore those who are mentally unstable. We as voters are all equal, non of have the right to demand McCain, or Obama to do what you say, no voter has such a prestige position…….It’s time for us as voters to RELIZE, what you say goes, it never have and it never will. This is so mean, bulling and prejudice acts that belongs back in the 1600’s, not 2008.
Obama 08

She is being brought in as the Chief of Staff to the Vice Presidential Nominee. Given her long history with Hillary Clinton, this sounds to me like there is a much greater chance that Clinton could be the VP pick.

So beyond the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth, what's the problem?

Does This Mean She Wont Campaign For Him Like She Said She Was?

One mans trash is another mans treasure. Don't hate now because you are not on the winning team. Put in an application like everyone else.
Welcome aboard Patti and don't worry about the HATERS. They will come around soon.
Obama08

Maybe just maybe, Obama will drop out once he finally realized he's not qualified for the job.

I'm a bit unhappy about the two ticker items in a row that highlight and blow out of proportion the silliness of the campaign, rather than issues: first, the focus on Obama erroneous reference to Maliki as the "President" (great job, CNN: giving all the McCainobots a false comparison to make to all of McCain's substantive gaffes about the region). Now this potboiler hoping to stir up fury from the Clinton-diehards???

Stop, it CNN and the rest of the media: There will be PLENTY of substantive issues to chase between now and November. Stop trying to damage our democracy with this sort of nonsense.

look, we all knew she wasn't going to be the VP. This solidifies it. Otherwise, we are all in for a big surprise if he does choose [which I am not against by the way, I just hope he finds a way to govern with another "government in waiting"]

I Support Hillary She Is The Best Canidate For President , In A Race Between Obama And Sen. John McCain , I Will Vote John McCain For President . I'm A Life Long Democrat Like My Parents , And Grand Parents . But Folks I Gotta Tell Ya , John McCain Is A Way Stronger Canidate , Than Obama !!!

This November This Democrat Will Cross Party Lines , And Vote For The Republican Ticket . Party Issues Don't matter Anymore ,
America Needs A Strong President !!!!!

John McCain President , 2008

It's about November now. I know it still stings, but we need to think about one thing right now, OUR COUNTRY!!

Our bridges are collapsing.! Our levees are failing! Our friends and family are still fighting for a lie in Iraq. Our children are being left behind! Our jobs are going overseas.

It's time to work on America. VOTE DEM!

I think she should stay out. And let Obama flounder on his own. Why would Obama hire someone who allegedly mismanaged Hillary's campaign? For her expertise? I'm not voting for Obama anyway and I might if Hillary was on the ticket but it still wouldn't sit with me. Yuck!

Jesus Christ, I've seen less beggars at Penn Station.

They need to stop getting their knickers in an uproar. Whether he goes with her or not, leave it be. Besides, I don't see Hillary being happy being in that position, although it's her choice if she chooses. Let's just work together for whoever it may be. If Hillary is keeping it low key, so should everyone else. Oh, and good for Doyle for working with the Obama campaign

It is all about hiillary, no the democratic party,watch!!! out guys, she is back asking for more money and whining about her long time adviser, she might run as an indenpendant.

Any Clinton supporter who is considering voting for John McCain is not thinking straight. Are you really willing to gamble with the future of the Supreme Court, a loss of a woman's right to choose even in the event of rape or danger to the mother's health; and ever seeing equal pay for equal work? If you are willing to give all that up not only for yourself, but for your daughter(s) and granddaughter(s), then John McCain, sadly, is your man.

Patti Solis's husband is connected to the Daley machine and Hillary should never have hired her. No doubt she was telling her husband everything that was going on in the Clinton camp. She is in the same category as Richardson, Kennedy, Kerry, Biden, Gore and Edwards who is now looking for the VP spot. The only way that all of Hillary's voters are going to stop Obama is vote for McCain. You have to vote. If you don't vote Obama could win and we need to stop him from being elected. Gore lost the election because he didn't want to list to Bill Clinton. Hillary lost because the DNC were against her and went behind the scenes with Obama to the superdelegates soliciting favors for votes for Obama. Dean is the worst chairman the DNC ever had and Nancy did not want Hillary to become president because she wants to be the woman in power and she was jealous. Obama is underhanded, crooked and a pretense.

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it still hurts for some people, but it's about November now. We have two choices.

1. Keep our hard earned money here in America, to fix our bridges, fix our levees, improve our economy, keep our jobs here, improve our international relationships, keep our rights, improve our country.

or

2. Vote Republican

I just donated to Clinton's campaign. Say what you want but she's the best qualified person to lead this country.

Who Obama hires to work for him or in his cabinet is HIS CHOICE, not the choice of Clinton's supporters. Maybe they can choose who works for her or for McCain since they are who Clinton suppoters are voting for. jk..

Bottom line. You can have it both ways. Either you support the candidate or you don't. Who you give your vote to is still in the end your choice, but you can't expect OBAMA to ignore the people who do support him. We want unity and if that means joining camps with a former rival (who is on the same page by the way) for the good of the country, then so be it.

I think it's time for me to send in my $2300 campaign contribution to Obama, which would've been shelved until a VP, not Hillary, is anounced.

(not sure my previous message took)

AS ONE HISPANIC WOMAN TO ANOTHER, MS. SOLIS-DOYLE…. YOU DISHONOR HISPANICS. HERE'S HOPING YOU SCREW UP BO'S CAMAPAIGN AS WELL.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS:
WRITE-IN HILLARY OR WHATEVER….BUT DO NOT VOTE FOR BO! WE MUST NOT ALLOW SEXISM TO CONTINUE TO TAKE A BACK SEAT TO ALL THE ISM'S, EVEN RACISM. THIS ELECTION IS BIGGER THAN HILLARY.

Patti Solis Doyle’s hire by Obama is an indication of her qualifications and her ability to attract Hispanic votes. I think it's a smart move.

Please stop this! My Dad is about to go on another tour to Iraq and he himself said he should be in Afganistan!!!! We need a president that realizes this which is not McSame. Bring our troops home and send them to where the real war on terror is happening!

Keeping bashing Hillary, Obama Supporters. Every time you do, you get further and further away from the White House.

You need our 18 million votes to get you there. You had better start acting a little more grown up!

hmm well its his and the country's loss. I am over it if he doesnt pick her he doesn't. I think he is doing stuff to rub the clintons nose in stuff oh well. I heard obama mispoke again, about bush waiting 6 years to meet with autoworkers when he actually met with them in 2003, keep your stuff straight Obama. If Obama didnt get his jollies from sticking it to the clintons maybe he could remember the difference between the prime minister and the president and when bush met with autoworkers. Its obvious Obama dosen't want clinton's help and if he looses he will be the first person to blame it on hillary.

Watch in November Clinton Supporters will work Great as a Team, Just not for Obama and the upside down Democratic Party!, Obamanites need to start contributing to Obamas campaign and the DNC for the Convention, Us Hillary supporters will not! you Ever think Hillary may not Lower herself to the VP Level for a candidate like Obama, and his Lack of abilities, and when spoke to Black Fathers, not white Fathers and hes 1/2 and 1/2 so whats that tell you?, Tells People with a Brain hes playing the Race card! way to Go Barack Hussain Obama.

McCain 2008 and Hillary2012

She shouldn't be happy all that we're stuck with voting for two losers!!

Anyone Who Thinks Hillary Is Going To Be Obamas Pick Is Dreaming! After The Scorched Earth Campaign She Ran? The Democratic Party Is Cracked To This Day! The Republicans Are Still Using The Things She Said And Will Do So Through November! After Her Campaign Dreams Were Shattered Obama Picked Up A Few Pieces And Now He Is Putting Them To Good Use! She Was Out Of A Job With Hillary So Now She Works For Obama! Lets Move On!

The earth revolves around the sun—-not around Hilliary!

Yes, because obviously the story of who's on your VP search and what people think from campaigns that already ended is truly "newsworthy". I don't know abuut you, but I care more about who Obama's VP is than who's heading up the search!

Well anyway,

Obama/Edwards 08

So did Solis Doyle help throw the election for Obama? There were rumors someone high up in the Clinton camp was speaking with him during the primary season.

It's unfortunate she didn't just go to work for him sooner, instead of mismanaging Clinton's opportunities.

Come on folks, stop trying to read the tea leaves here. Let the man do what he needs to do. This source who says she would not have taken the job if she knew Clinton might be the pick, I have a lot of doubt that anyone in the Obama campaign short of Obama himself, knows who the pick will be. I believe that some on the Clinton campaign are just trying to stir the pot, I say let's see what Senator Clinton has to say about this.

I don't like hearing from staffers or people with the campaigns, I want to hear it from the candidates themselves. Let Obama and Clinton speak to this issue then go from there.

To all of you who still completely disrespect Senator Clinton and her supporters even after she has given her support to Obama… Remember one thing…

He needs her (and those who support her), she does not need him…

I am beginning to believe that the media is trying to keep the dems divided. Why is this news? She no longer has a job with the Clinton campaign why not look for emplyment to unite the party. I believe it's alot of people out there that is trying to stir up trouble in our party. So Obama supporters let's not fall for all the angry comments on the blog if hillary supporters will vote for Mcain they are voting for reasons other then what they believe. They are voting against someone instead of voting for something and if that is the case they will have the blood of innocent soldiers on their hands. 0bama 08

What the GOP doesn't want us to know.

Obama is a PIG! Shame on him.

Hillary's supporters will not vote for him!

This is a joke right? Please tell me this is a joke and Hillary supporters are not starting there junk again. All we want is to move on and become one Democratic party and they are now acting like Will Bower.

Hey, guess what? You just lost my vote, and many, MANY votes of Clinton supporters.

Hillary Rodham Clinton write-in

HILLARY FOREVER.

It's still all about the Clintons, isn't it?

We need Hillary to counter (balance) the prejudice factor that will be in this race. Why else would someone support McCain? (Of course I imagine people who make more than #250, 000 – like the entire news media personnel, will still vote for McCain's tax cut for the rich. -

Excuse me. Is OBAMA'S presidential campaign all about Hillary Clinton? Why does she have to get what she wants even if she's not the nominee. I am sick of her and her so called supporters. If Hrc truly cares about the state of this nation, then she should work with whomever is the nominee to bring about change. Fix the messed up economy. Gosh!!!!!

Obama does not owe it to Hillary supporters to make Clinton his running mate. You can threaten him all you want, and even vote for McCain – but the thing is, if "petty politics" is something that you go by, you shouldn't be voting for Obama anyway.

Why do they think they have any right to decide who he hires? These people are crazy.

I cannot wait to say goodbye to this fool – I cannot STAND him, and I hope Florida is the state that sends him and nasty Michelle back to their racist neighborhood in Chicago. What poetic justice that would be!

November can't come soon enough for me! I am SO SICK of Obama and his nutso followers at this point that I switch the channel every time he is on it – just like I do with Bush.

McCain is not a good choice, but at this point, he is my ONLY choice. I won't be able to take four years of Obarfa and yucky Michelle and the adoration of them by the media. I swear it already makes me want to vomit!

That Senator Clinton will not be the vice-presidential pick is good news if the message about Ms. Doyle's acceptance is correct. We need breathing space after 8 years of the Clinton co-presidency and a very long and fiercely contested primary season. Maybe Senator Clinton will be a viable candidate in a future run for the presidency but for now we have to judge whether she can be a team player on behalf of Senator Obama's campaign. Future votes like mine may well depend on how she and her followers comport themselves. Any sign of undercutting Senator Obama to advance Senator Clinton's presidential aspirations will deny her our vote in a future election. We must remember that the Republicans are the enemy, not fellow Democrats.

not a suprise. he copied her the whole time of course he gonna hire all her staff. hopefully she will screw up his campaign like she did clintons. i mean come on that just shows his bad judgement she did a bad job there so you're gonna hire her, man this fool is smoking crack.

P U M A = Purely/Unethical/Mixed-Up/Amorals. Obama you will never please them. Don't try. They get what they deserve.

The very fact that the mainstream media including CNN is so obsessed with HRC that they resort to quoting unnamed "sources" and "former aides" and others proves that HRC rocks ! She is a strong, powerful and yes – successful woman .Thats why none of you misogynists can deal with her.

Why don't you Obamabots go back to your cultlike worhsip of your neophyte leader and grow up a little?

Plain and simple… Obama will not gain Senator Clinton's supporter votes without her.
No chance at all…

This woman is allowing herself to BE USED by the Obama campaign, giving him ammunition to continue to thumb his nose at the women of this country in addition to Ohio and Florida which his campaign manager reportedly said Obama does not need to win in November and swing states he believes he also does not need. He failed to win the Democratic base. And, he thumbs his nose at 18 million Hillary Clinton supporters! HILLARY SUPPORTERS NEED TO STAND OUR GROUND! Obama CANNOT win without us.

Why get mad at the appointment? Senator Clinton should not even think of being Senator Obama's choice for VP., not after all she has done to him personally, the ammunition she handed to McCain, and for the division that now exists within the Democratic Party. Additionally, her campaign debts would be far too strenuous for the DNC to manage at this time. She will possibly get the Department of Health.

Obama '08

Blame Patti-Solis-Doyle for the failed campaign of Clinton. Clinton campaign already threw her under the bus, now she cannot even earn an honest living because they don't like her?

Well, Hillary shouldn't be so surprised since she tried to strong arm Obama after he was rightly named the democratic nominee. She has been pretty reckless in her campaigning and not even a congratulations to the man she so badly seeks the VP spot from until she was forced to do so. Very poor cred, Bad sports-womanship and frankly, down right disrespectful. I would not give her the time of day. Atleast he considered her. That's all she should get. She lost and is proving to be a sore loser and a cry baby. Not someone I would want as my VP. She is toast and it's all her own fault. Obama owes the Clinton's nothing. Bill can't even come clean with his Presidential library donors, so they are still not being truthful with the American public. Barack Obama set the standard in the Clinton's own back yard. They were bulletproof, right? WRONG!!

I thought they were all looking for a job and Doyle got one. If they keep looking and stop complaining maybe they too will be lucky. It's not about Obama's pick it's about a JOB.

Hillary doesn't need to be VP.
I am a Hillary supporter. I could care less if she jumped ship and went to the dark side.
Obama reminds me of a modern day Hitler with his speeches and the way people fall over him.
The DNC can have Obama.

THE GREAT THING IS THAT THIS PROBABLY MEANS THAT HILLARY WILL NOT BE HIS VP!
SHE CANNOT RUIN HER REPUTATION RUNNING WITH HIM.
SHE WILL NEED TO COME BACK IN 4 YEARS AND CLEAN UP THE MESS FROM EITHER ONE OF THESE FOOLS!

The beat goes on. McCain 08

we need hillary clinton on the ticket for you need her help so put on the ticket and get working on the things that is important to the people and stoped that i'm better than any of the other people you need all the help you can get to get this county backed in shape you are a man so make up your mind know thank you so get on with it

Go Obama!

MAYBE THIS IS WHY SHE DID SUCH A CRAPPY JOB FOR HILLARY!

OBAMA OR OPRAH PAID HER!
WHAT EVER! SHE CAN BE A PART OF THE LOSING TEAM!!!!!
WE THE PEOPLE,HAVE A LOT MORE POWER THAN WE REALIZE! THERE ARE A LOT OF REALLY PISSED OFF PEOPLE ABOUT HOW HILLARY WAS TREATED AND OBAMA WILL NOT GET OUR VOTES!!!!!!
PUMA!

Who cares just get the job done and get Barack elected…

If i were a Clinton supporter I would vote for McCain He will make a better President. Mrs Clinton was the best candidate but I guess people thought differently especially the black voters.
they appeared to vote for Obama because he was black not that he was the best candidate. If that wer the other eway then all you would hear would be that the white voters were racists

Is anyone surprised? Don't be. Watch for more of this. We don't know Obama and he has no track record. As a Hillary supporter, I am certainly not convinced. How about that Iraq slip he made? More of this to come too, do you think?

They can have her. Maybe she can add her screwup skills to his campaign.

we need hillary clinton on the ticket for you need her help sp put her on the ticket and get to work on the problems as you promise thank you

I can hear HRC's supporters now on this:) Remember Bill Richardson. I'm sure there's plenty of blame to go around as to who did what for Hillarys campaign to implode…including Hillary herself for surrounding herself with so many dreamers AND supporters. Don't forget you all…she's back asking you for MORE $$$$………

I always like Obama's decisions, however, she completely mismanaged Clinton's campaign. I can only speculate that Obama had a very good reason to chose Solis Doyle and must have spoken with her about her learning her lessons. People are human and all humans make mistakes. I'm sure Obama knows what he's doing.

I am so sick of these people and their enuendos. my goodness get over it!!!!

Senator Clinton is not out of the running for VP. If you people keep pushing and threatening Senator Obama, you are going to push her out in the cold.
Just shut up about it. And let the man think things thru.

Don't these so called "Hillary Supporters" know the meaning of "move on"?

So much for the Dems in 08. First Obama says he does not need Florida and Ohio, and now this subtle message to Clinton that she is not welcome. I will be majorly suprised if Obama wins in November.

But then again Obama and his supports donot need anyone except themselves. Jerks.

MAYBE DOYLE HURT HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN ON PURPOSE. I DO NOW QUESTION THIS AS WILL MANY OTHERS. MAYBE SHE IS A TURNCOAT.

……. There's no way hillary will be VP now…. Hillary going to work for Obama?…. And to cap it off, have one of her employees as her boss?…. I think not. That was totally brillant on Obamas behalf…. I'd say that was checkmate with the hillary VP hopes. Besides shes fine right were she is….. Somewhere being nice and quite…. Kudos to you President Obama.

Can we all just get along with each other. This is what Sen. Obama is doing. Unity with Amercia people.

INSANE OBAMA !! YEP!
WATCH AMERICA GO DOWN DOWN DOWN !!
PLEASE SAVE MY GRANDKIDS FROM THE SUPREME COURT AND OBAMA!!

Another good reason NOT to vote for Barack Obama.

Oh, are we still pretending that HRC ever had any chance of being included on the ticket? Ok, then I guess we're also pretending that McCain has even the slightest chance of winning in November.

Never before has one person's every move been under such a microscope. It's his decision who he surrounds himself with, and so far those decisions have paid off handsomely. For those of you looking for more a track record with this man, I say keep watching, you're looking at it grow.

Are these people adults…this campaign is WAY too long and there are too many people obsessing at every move.

The Clintons should be out there campaigning for obama if they are interested in being on the ticket!!

Um, we all know that Clinton is not a wise choice for Obama's VP. Clinton should aim to be a top senator like Ted Kennedy… another blogger mentioned her as being a possible Supreme Court Justice nominee. The VP position is a quagmire in politics. Just because we view Cheney having the real say in things, doesn't mean it's the usual definition of the position.

no matter what I or anybody says, many people can agree that what has happened in this election year is beyond words. Personally, just as my husband and I saw Hillary's bid for the Democratic nomination slip away while learning for the first time what a caucus was, all i can see is people left behind in the aftermath scurry to get on what they think is a winning ticket.
Barack Obama is a man of influential words, with ideas stolen from Hillary. None is fully formed because none is his original. The difference between Barack and Hillary, she built the house, he squatted. She is a Democrat who loves the country. He is a Democrat who loves himself. She is a leader. He is a follower. He has had time to think of something for 20 months and he still cannot dig a rabbit out of a rabbit hole. He needs Hillary's left overs.
But the general election is over. People who were dismayed that Hillary did not win have every right, whether because Barack is "too black", too inexperienced, too leftist, too racist, or the best thing since sliced bread to vote for him in November, write Hillary in in Novmber, vote for McCain in November or just sit home and keep watching the self destruction of our country under the weight of the all knowing pundits, delegates and vultures in our failed political machine. God bless the America that was. Because the America that is about to be isn't worth a peso, ruble, or plug nickle.

clinton camp still exists?

This appointment did lead me to believe that Senator Clinton wouldn't be the VP choice. Of course what's published by the news media isn't always reflective of the true state of affairs. My other thought was that the VP choice might have an opinion about who their chief of staff is and might want to make their own decision about who that person is. It'll be interesting to see how things develop.

get over it
it only means he hired some help/ thats all

Here we go again…Here comes everybody making a big issue over a none issue. Ready..Set…Go!!!

Who Cares. Must to do about nothing. Hire who ever will do the best job. Hillary, get over it. It is over and that is that.

The idea that Doyle was making all of the plans even through Super Tuesday by herself with no involvement or approval by Clinton is laughable. Anyone who believes that Clinton was not an intergral part of the planning or approval of plans is an idiot.

These statements by those "close" to Clinton that place all of the blame on Doyle are eigther a testimony to poor organizational management by Clinton or another example of them throwing someone under the bus to avoid responsibility.

Why doesn't the VP get to choose his chief of staff?

ooooo my god is there anything else to talk about than think about whos happy or unhappy. Every American is unhappy the way our country is going why dont you guys report something important to American people. Mccain lost my vote by saying," Bringing troops home is not important." Please CNN TALK ABOUT MCCIANS POLICY STAYING IN iRAQ FOR HUNDRED YEARS!!!!! NOW HE DESONT CARE ABOUT OUR TROOPS COMING HOME.

Do anything you can to persuade Al-Gore to be ur running mate…. This way u get ALL Clinton supporters, all the experience Clinton claimed to have… and and and ….. and u will have an unbeatable ticket…

As an Obama supporter…I am upset too….what would happen if the truth challenged aspect of Hillary was a virus…and Patti Solis Doyle is a carrier….then Obama starts advocating giving drivers licenses to illegals….and covering illegal aliens in a healthcare plan…then denying it….oh I hope she is not a carrier

This is totally ridiculous. CNN stop reporting rumors like the tabliods. I will stop visiting your site if you continue to publish nonsense such as this absolutely trashy excuse for an article.

Sometimes in a democracy, the other guy wins. Let's move on.

According to one longtime adviser, the move is being seen by many of those close to Clinton as a message she will not be Obama’s vice presidential pick.

An aide to Obama insists the hire should not be read as indication of who their choice will be.

The Clinton people just do not know how to work as a team! It is still all about them!

You GO Obama..your way or the hwy..Get over it Hillary supporters we as democrats are in this together come on get ob board and lets smoke dem republicans

You see when Obama trys to reach out to evgeryone he still gets greif!

Party unity is what we need. They should not be upset or dismayed. They should work hard to get Barack elected.

Democrats in the White House in 08!
