NoMcSame, I like your suggestion that all of HRC fans send in $1.00 to pay HILLARY'S debt. Doing that simple thing would wipe out tons of bad feelings. It would bring true Democrats together quickly, which is what we need at this point in time. Let the Republicans and Independents who voted for Hillary only she is a powerful woman, and who don't care one whit about the Democratic program switch to McCain. HELP STOP THE BICKERING AMONG REAL DEMOCRATS!!!

Excuse me but if I remember correctly at the time of the primaries Feb 10 the media MSNBC reported that "Campaign aides said Solis Doyle made the decision to leave on her own and was not urged to do so by the former first lady or any other senior member of the team". So now they are saying she was fired and it was unfair of Obama to pick her up. Can we get the truth here. Was she fired, did she leave to spend more time with her family, or did she just leave either way how is this Obama fault....somebody who gets fired should never get another job.

Seems like Nader is right.

Change–Shmange– it's the same old back-stabbing politics as usual.

There ARE other candidates besides Obama and McCain.

Friends with Obama since he moved to Chicago!!!! No wonder she didn't work very hard to get Clinton elected.

Ellie in Aurora, CO, don't call yourself a troll, loser. when you generalise half the population, it makes you look really stooopid.

Sounds suspicious to me! If Clinton had won and then hired a former Obama Campaign Manager who for some reason couldn't secure him a much needed win as the frontrunner....Obama supporters would cry bloody murder.

Things just keep getting easier for a lifelong moderate Democrat like myself to vote for a moderate like John McCain.

The MoveOn.Org ad that came out today, more far left cheap shots.

And you true blue Democrats that will be voting for Obama, remember to be nice to the people you meet on the way up because they will be the same people you meet on the way down in November.

The Clintons have dissrepected themsleves by the way they chose to run their campaign. Just like her allowing her supporters to continue bashing Sen. Obama.
That is the true dissrespect here not the wounded ego of Hillary Clinton man up and give some respect

Hey REAL DEMOCRAT – it is spelled LOSER!

By the way.... those of you posting might want to think twice about convincing yourself that many of the "pro Hillary" commenters are republicans in disguise – they are not. They are citizens of the United States of America who have the right to vote for the candidate that they think will be the best leader of their country. As we have seen, there is no party loyalty. Our country's fathers who created our constitution never created the political parties. They wanted citizens to have a say in who their leader would be. So, the citizens are exercising their rights to choose the person they think will lead our country – no matter what party affiliation. The CITIZENS OF THE USA HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR WHO THEY THINK WILL DO THE BEST JOB FOR THEM!

Jackie

Why would Obama go away he is the nomimee why don't you evil hateful Hillary people go away?

Go Obama 08

She will be on Clintons list of perceived turncoats

NICE WAY TO BRING THE PARTY TOGETHER! NOW HE WANTS ALL OF HILLARY'S BIG DONORS TO BACK HIM AND HE PULLS A LOW HANDED TRICK LIKE THIS HIRING SOMEONE THAT HILLARY FIRED EARLY ON IN HER CAMPAIGN FOR MISHANDLING DONATIONS!!

GOOD LUCK BHO YOU JUST KEEP ALIGNATING HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS!!

MCCAIN 08

Obama is very transparent – Mr. Nice Guy, very on the surface, so many feel free to call him Barrack – what kind of authorative presence is this? This guy is too user-friendly and our enemies will see right through him (which is very easy to do). Where's the core? Where's the identity? Write-in the guts and grit candidate – write-in Hillary Clinton on your November ballot and send Hillary where she belongs – to the Oval Office.

The REAL question here is WHY is Obama hiring the VP's Chief of Staff? Doesn't the VP usually hire their own chief of staff? Whether it's Patti Doyle Solis or anyone else, Obama should leave that decision up to the VP so they will have someone they like and trust.

I don't think this was a good "judgement" call on Obama's part, plus he needs to trust his chosen VP to be able to handle the staffing of their own office. As top "manager" of our country, Obama needs to delegate the small stuff to others as he will not have time to micr-manage.

Judy

First, you're right, it is hard to respect those who show disrespect. But I see no disrespect coming from Obama, Doyle, or HRC with regards to hiring Doyle. Clinton, in her finite wisdom, choose to go with someone who was loyal rather than someone with prior expirience running a campaign. To blame Doyle entirely for HRC's demise is truely insulting of epic proportions.

SHE WILL BE OK
if hillary is vp obama will switch her but hillary is a grown up and she will be fine

Oh and by the way, too Todd, you said that, "I wish her well, and Obama well, he is going to need all the support he can get without a majority of the Hillary supporters!" Todd 25% of Hillary voter's who are saying that they will not vote for Barack is not a majority, it is not half. it is one quarter. Todd if there is one thing that is certain, not to many things are 100%. So the 25% of Hillary supporters who will not vote for Barack, were not going to vote for him any way. The reason why I say this is because if they feel that McCain is the best option, than they are uniformed and don't understand the relevance of this time in US history. They are the same people who complained about Bush for 7 1/2 years and then ask for 4 more from McCain. These people make me wonder, is it more important to them to suffer and make a point, or relent and get relief. Don't spite your Nose for your Face.

Todd............. She probably is the one that sabatoged the Clinton's for this very reason. What a mockery!
I wish her well, and Obama well, he is going to need all the support he can get without a majority of the Hillary supporters...............I can excuse The WOMEN SUPPORTER OF HRC BUT I CAN'T STAND TO SEE A MAN CRY !!!!!!!!!

Well, this is interesting – I am voting for Obama – for social policy reasons, like, umm, my civil liberties, but I don't care if he loses because I am, umm, wealthy and can pay for my civil liberties unlike, i suspect, the lot of you screechers here – happy days and cheers my brother and sister citizens – heh

If Patti is so good then Messiah should promote her to be Michelle's Chief of Staff. I bet ya she will be very helpful there too.

Unfortunately thats how all Obama supporters are...pigs.

ANd dont deserve much respect or my vote.

MCCAIN 08!!!

Barney,
“When I got out there I shut that down, and made very clear that Senator Clinton deserves respect. She ran a great race and we are moving forward because we want to win in November,” said Obama. “You know I think people were still in primary mindset, and we're moving into general election mindset.”–Barack Obama

Barack sounds like the kind of leader I want...........MAKE SENSE TO ME

OBAMA 08

jack............ write in HRC...................STAY HOME !!!

Obama didn't like Clinton but he keep looking for Clinton former team. What's that about? that's why Clinton the top in DNC side and the most
qualify for Pres.

This isn't Romy and Michelles High School reunion. This is really getting tired. Doyle does this for a living. Why should she be denied a job because Hillary fired her? I agree with Sandy above. The campaign went extremely negative after her departure. Perhaps Doyle is a true Democrat who chose not to divide the party just to win a nomination? She was certainly better for Clinton than Penn, who did a real job on Clinton's campaign, didn't he?

Clinton can't tell Obama who to hire. He just let the Clintons know who is in charge. She said and did too much to have that job.
Obama08 with or without PUMA or Clinton.
Clinton can't even get her so called 18 million supporters to send her a $1.00. Until they pay her dept they should shut up.
Obama08 with or without PUMA or Clinton.

To all the hillary supporters who are now threatening to back McCain. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR NARROW, PATHETIC MINDS!!! Look at all the misery bush has put upon this country and the world as a whole. YOU WANT 4 MORE OF THAT!!!

I didnt back Hillary because of her history and her moral standing, but to back mccain over obama. Are you just plain dumb!

Its clear Hillary couldnt look beyond her own ego and back the better candidate when she clearly was out of the running. This is understood. Its up to the voters now to correct that misjudgment and come together. We cannot afford 4 more of bush/cheney inc.!!!

When Clinton gave her concession speach, there were people booing Obama and she said nothing. When Obama was giving his speech and people booed Clinton, he scolded them and told them to show her the respect she deserved.

As for Solis Doyle, she got fired...is she supposed to sit at home and collect unemployment??

This is how is was during the entire primary, he constantly defended her yet her supporters accuse him of disrespecting her. Clinton supporters can threaten all they want about voting for McCain. It's your choice just quit whining about the nomination being 'stolen' from Senator Clinton, SHE LOST, get over it, move on, go to the voting booth, take a deep breath, take a minute to think about what you want for our country for the next 4 years, then make your selection. No one wants to hear about it. Thank you.

These Hillary supporters who act this way are just making themselves look stupid. They behavior will cause more people to move from Clinton to Obama the longer it lasts. So keep it up. You're just making it hard for Hillary to ever get another chance. If Obama loses, she'll always be known as the reason the Democrats lost.

I think that hiring Ms. Doyle was a well thought out decision. There are several reasons why. One she will be able to help Obama and the democrats gain support from three very important groups(women , hispanics, and also act as a conduit for other Hillary staffers to make the transition to the Obama Camp).
Due to the fact that Ms. Doyle has been selected as the chief of staff for the vice president, I think that the Obama camp is close to selecting there v.p. candidate. It seems obvious to me that by making this decision, she had to meet with the finalist.
I don't understand why so many people are upset over this hiring. Ms. Doyle has work for Hillary since 1991 and has been a loyal supporter of her's. I think that this is what the demcrats must do to unite the party. The fact that she was fired by Hillary was more of a professional decision than a personal one. Some people and groups are just trying to find any reason to divide and conquer.
Brilliant Move Obama Camp.

SOME ONE TRASH, FOR SOME ONE TREASURE.
SHE FIRED HER HE HIRE HER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless Obama for giving this woman a chance. Everyone deserves another chance. I am sure if most of you got fired you would want someone to rehire you. Stop hating on the woman or Obama.

Vote for McCain if you want to but if you do make sure you have plenty of money and expect your grandchildren to go off to war in Iraq because McCain is going to let this ugly war rage on and on. There's not going to be many more volunteers for the military after doing 3 and 4 rotations. So, a draft may begin one day soon if McCain is president.. The war is draining the economy here in America. New Orleans is still not rebuilt yet and Iowa will be joining them. We have no money to fix our own problems, There's people here in America starving and homeless. Many of them are veterans. So, vote for McCain and see what the next 4 years will do this economy.

patti better be nice to clinton when she's vp.

VICE PRESIDENT CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary…you let us down! Do you actually think we are going to do what you want us to do and vote dem? Haven't you heard of PUMA??. We are mad and dangit you are going to pay attention to us. You LOSER! We are voting for MCCAIN to spite you…yes YOU! McCain will win and your legacy will be that you made it happen..how you like them apples?
I put my time and effort and hard earned money into you and you failed me! Youkept asking me for money after you KNEW you didn't have a chance. And all you kept saying is ME ME ME. WEll what about ME ME ME??? I AM VOTING FOR MCCAIN! DEal with it old lady! This old lady is on the McCain train!

Probably was a spy for Obama all along. Typical of his politics.

Why can't the VP candidate have his/her choice of support staff?
If Sen. Clinton is not the VP candidate, Obama will not get my vote ...along with others who think Ms Doyle made a mess of her election. After she was fired, Obama lost the big states to Sen. Clinton...Hillary still could win...Obama doesn't have enough delegates to win. Is that why Dean doesn't want her name put forward at convention????

This was a slap in the face to Clinton and her supporters- Patti is obviously not very good at running campaigns so I hope shes better at whatever it is that she will be doing- and yes the VP nominee should choose their own staff- is this some back room deal since she did such a HORRIBLE job at running Clinton's campaign- is Obama going to offer a job to Mark Penn next??????

If Obama wants my vote he should put Clinton on as VP- he should have done that already- Obama supporters would have demanded Clinton do that immediately and yet they seem so shocked that Clinton supporters want her as VP.

Well Obama needs to earn my vote- he hasn't even started- he should also take notice that the national polls have him just a few points ahead over McCain (McBush) so he can take nothing for granted- Obama you need our votes!!!!!!!!!

The hiring of a staffer is SUCH a non-issue. While it may stir up the bloggers for the next few days, who Obama has on his campaign team will be long forgotten by November.

Beverly NYC, my hat off to you. You couldn't have made it more glearingly clearer to Judy. I hope that's some food for thoughts for the Clinton Supporters. Really, y'all need to get a life, get some perspectives and get over the fact that Clinton is over. Now let's get our senses back and say No to the 3rd term of Bush.

Very well said Peggy, TX

I agree and just because things did not work out for her in Clinton's campaign does not mean the same will happen in her position with Obama's VP.

I guess I find it a bit strange that Obama has known this family well and that her brother helped Obama and she was in the Clinton camp. Are we to believe that she did not say anything to her brother during this primary process. I still think it is a slap in the face to Clinton. Obviously Obama is not thinking about Clinton for V.P. or this hire would not have taken place. Politics I have come to learn is nothing but a bunch of back stabbing rats pretending to be friends. Quite obvious this year by some so called Clinton supporters.

I would not get upset about the ridiculous conspiracy comments and the fake angry Clinton supporters. The more I read these blogs the more I suspect that the majority are republicans in disguise continue their divide and conquer game. True Democrats are smarter than that and won't fall for it. No one but the insane will vote for McCain in November.

I DONT KNOW WHY P. SOLI S DOYLE IS SORE ON HILLARY.
SHE DID NOT INSPIRE HER CONSTITUENTS NOR ADD MUCH TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND TO BE VINDICTIVE IS EVEN
WORSE FOR HER AND OBAMA.. HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS ARE NOT JUST HISPANICS, RURAL AND SMALL TOWN FOLKS BUT I DONT MEAN TO BE UNPOLITICALLY CORRECT, WHITE WOMEN AND MEN AND SENIORS.. WHY SOILS DOYLE WOULD ALIENATE HILLARY CLINTON ? FOR ANY REASON. SHE WOULD FIND A JOB
WITH HILLARY'S HELP SO EASILY. AND THAT IS WHY OBAMA PICKED HER FOR HIS CAMP AS WELL.. IT WILL BE WELL AS OBAMA HAS SAID TO UNITE THE PARTY BEHIND OBAMA.
AND P. SOLIS DOYLE WOULD DO WELL TO KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT.

What he should have said was

" Without this woman i wouldn't be the Democratic nominee. She ran one of the worst campaiggns in the history of our country and by God i am thankful for that. I fully intend to lock her in a closet somewhere unless i can get the McCain campaign to take her on. in which case i will begin celebrating my victory over him as this lady is a tremendous human millstone. Anything I can do to advance her career with an opponents campaign i am more than glad to do. "

Now this explains Doyle's "ineptitude" at managing Hillary's campaign.

Bravo Barack for having a plant in Hillary's HQ!!

–RD84

The problem here, as I see it, is that Hillary's base was woman and non-college educated, blue-collar workers. Can you not see the forest through the trees people? You are missing the whole point of this election by holding on to your stupid prejudices against Obama. Let's move on and unite, or do you like paying almost $5/gallon for gas, inflation through the roof, a never-ending war, a Constitution that is meaningless. If the answer is yes, then my all means, hold on to your misplaced anger and vote for McCain.

So what number are we up to now on all the conspiracies being perpetrated against poor defenseless victimized Hillary "Just A Gal Trying To Get Somewhere In A Man's World" Clinton? Has to be up into the hundreds don't you think?

So at last count more or less it was Obama, sexism, media bias, Obama supporters, DNC, Michelle Obama, the DNC, caucas states, Mercury in retrograde, natural disasters, Keith Olbermann, AA's, liberals, latte drinkers, Prius drivers, global warming, super delegates, The Huffington post, SNL, a shoulder brush, etc. and now the hiring of someone she fired, one Ms. Patti Solis-Doyle's fault for yet another injustice being done to poor HIllary. Hahahaha

Injustice is what is happening in Maynamar, Dufar, etc. Conspiracies are what took our jobs to China and India and now have us paying through the nose for their over-inflated oil consumption as their economies thrive and ours goes down the toilet. Women's rights are being violated in just about every 3rd world country on the planet and yet people are throwing hissy's trying to make one more thing about Hillary which it isn't? It would all be truly sad if it wasn't so pathetically funny.

I'm sure Senator Obama brought Patti Doyle to his team because she is very knowledgeable and good at what she does.

Attention to all Democrate, this is very important observation from a powerful reliable sources, most republicans had adopted a policy from their strongest surrogates like Rush Limbaugh known as "MASK HIT MEN,I am going to expose how they really operate which has been working for them very effectively, there are two groups in every blg existed in the cable networks, one group acting as Clintons supporters talk as many negative as they can think of and they would always make sure they direct the real Clintons supporters to vote for mccain, the other groups act as Obama supporters who continue to bash Clintons supporters and even threaten that their votes were not wellcome, this tactics was design to make it almost impossible to unite the both supporters and finally delivered clintons voters to republican,it seems to be working quite well,I promise you by next week, their covers would be blown piece by piece. I DARE CNN moderators to post this comments, I have seen a great job their so called moderators were doing by unposting so many postive comments but rather choose bunch of ill,foul,divisive and negative comments to be posted, big shame on you moderators, what a stand up guy or whatever you called yourself.

Does anyone know why these wretched people continue to post these nasty blogs about not voting for Senator Obama. Listen people! we don't care; if you are ignorant enough to forfeit your Democratic values in this critical election, who wants your vote anyway. Clearly you people are voting with your emotions and not your logic or your grasp of the issues. Therefore on the eve of having total Democratic power in Washington; meaning a majority Democratic congress and a Democratic President one would have to not actually be a Democrat, or an incredibly stupid Democrat to try and tank their own values out of spite. Posting these lame I will vote McSame arguments only serves to cast doubt on your political intelligence. Please cease in burdening the rest of US happy Dems with your stupidity.

Oh, I get what's going on.

To please the Hillary supporters and to try to look like a unifying guy, he'll OFFER the VP job to Hillary.

But to make sure she doesn't accept it, he first hires someone she doesn't want to work with.

Does anyone else find it odd that Obama already hired the COS for his unnamed running mate? Is it not normal for the VP to have any say in who is their COS?

Mr. Obama, you should have named Mrs. Clinton your running mate the second you found out you had enough superdelegates supporting you. Remember, you don't have enough ELECTED delegates to win this thing either. I would say the same to her if she won. The longer you wait, the more Clinton supporters you will lose.

Hmm...there is a green party candidate that I've heard is worth looking at..

How can you be "Women democrats for McCain"?? What an oxymoron!!

Re: Jenna, she stated " Women Democrats for McCain"

Jenna you obviously made typing error, certainly you meant "Woman Republican for McCain" or possibly you meant “former democrat, racist, female voter for McCain"

Everyone settle down. Obama is thinking so far ahead of the republicans. Trust him and watch. For instance, this hire, not debating John McCain right now, etc. It's a chess game, watch his brilliance. Then watch his brillance in the Presidency.

well judy, if you were fired from your job, you would want another employer to hire you...When hired, do you feel that the company that hired you showed your other company disrespect ???

Please people get over it and get over yourselves.....

Venus – Its not that he hired her. Its that she was put in the position of vice-president whatever. That is the slap. With her knowing him and her family working with him, it makes me think that she was in the tank with him all along. And why would Obama supporters blame Hillary if he loses. She is not the blame it is how Obama, DNC ran this race. If it had been fair and square the Clinton supporters would have open their arms and voted for him in the GE and would have overlooked his lack of experience. At least that is how I feel.

I just hope as Dems we don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.......

Why is it that ANYONE who no longer has their nose stuck up Hillary's rear suddenly a looser according to her supporters?

First it was Richardson who was great as long and him and Bill were watch football together.
Then it was Edwards even though Hillary courted his support for months and stole his health care plan.
Now Gore and this Doyle lady.

All are now loosers according to Hillary supporters.

I really find it amazing that some of you can even use a computer much less form sentences.

Patti Solis Doyle sounds like a highly capable person whose recent experience as Senator Clintons former campaign manager makes her well qualified for this position. I do not know the detail of why she was let go by Clinton, but likely it may be less about her capabilities and more about the various personalities within Clinton’s staff, which I heard continued to fight with each other after Doyle left the campaign. This is an opportunity for Patti Solis Doyle to continue in her excel in her chosen career and I wish her well.

For all those supposedly Clinton supporters who are going to vote for McCain, Just do it – I believe everyone should vote their conscience, but I do not believe anyone who shares the core values of the Democrats party will vote for McCain. The same stale talking points repeated again and again in comments from disgruntled Clinton supporters lack sincerity. I think you all are bitter Republicans that have no substantive issue to rant about so you are trying to split the democrats and are copying from the same dumb list of talking points.

PUMAs: fifth column republicans.

Remember what Limbaugh exhorted his listeners to do . . . ?

write in HRC

Putting down Hillary Clinton's supporters will not bring the Democrats together to beat McCain. Can't we all just get along?

I don't understand why HRC supporters are upset about this. Solis-Doyle took a job within the democratic party....like a true democrat. Are former Clinton supporters not allowed to take another job without being labeled as traitors? Do the Clinton's somehow own you once you work for them?

And why do SOME HRC supporters think that the 18MIL people who voted for Obama don't count? Yes, 18MIL people DIDN'T support HRC.

Isn't it ironic how no one recognizes the fact that Hillary Clinton's supporters booed the mentioning of Barak Obama's name when she ended her campaigne by encouraging her supporters to support him? But, when Barak's supporters turn around and demonstrate the same behavior, it's a problem.

Or, the fact that he continues to receive much more criticism than Hillary, John McCain or Cindy McCain can ever fathom.

Talk about double standards!

Re-read the story! Obama and Patti has know each other for years!

How is this a slap to Hillary? Some of you need to grow up!!! What is Obama suppose to do? Would Hillary be as kind to Obama as he has been to her?

Also... to some of Hillary supporter's... it's OK. if Obama lose in Nov. But... if your Hillary run again in 2012... we too won't forget! Not voting goes two-ways!

Why is that higher % of Clinton supporters don't want to vote for Obama and lower % of Obama supporter don't want to vote for Clinton if either is the nominee in GE? It's the way the candidates conveyed to their supporters during their primary campaign. Now since Sen. Obama is the presumptive nominee, Clinton needs to work harder to erase the powerful negative impacts she was very successful to put in her supporters head about Obama. Hopefully she will do just that in the near future. She will be on her way to success on everything else except the presidency at this time.

there goes the unity right out the window and to think I was second guessing my choice to pick Mccain
this is one hillary supporter that will never back Obama niether will THOUSANDS

I wish Obama would go away. It appears he needs her to win.
Hillary 2012.

Judy, Todd and your Ilk...still not taking any responsibility for your personal behavior? Still need a scapegoat for why the world is so unjust and unfair and disrespectful (somehting you both feel free to lecture others on but have no problem exhibiting quite nastily on your own)?

Why don't you all go see if Cindy McCain will let you help her bake a plagarized recipe victory cake for Johnny boy since he's your next best hope for all that you need "right" in your world that Obama can't delivered. The party (literally and figuratively) WILL still go on.

Are there any adult bloggers around? A lot of theses entries are pretty childish. Please read your posts prior to submitting to make sure it makes logical sense, without anger.

Here we go again. They fired her, now they are crying bloody murder because Obama hired her. Will this ever stop. Can HRC campaign supporters grow up. Get over it!!!

Judy, you don't have to search for a reason to vote for Obama, if the thought causes you this much angst then please don't vote for him, there feel better now.

The Clinton camp used Patti Solis-Doyle as the scapegoat for the Super Tuesday losses. Senator Clinton should have told Bill to shut up, gotten rid of Mark Penn and his overpriced firm, but it was her choice to stick with the boys, Penn, McAuliffe, Ickes, Wolfson etc. and have them steer her down the wrong path. She didn't do much better with Solis' replacement, that tells me the voting had more to do with the candidate herself. As for the booing, Clinton supporters booed also at her concession when Barack was mentioned and she said nothing. Barrack has turned the other cheek too much in this campaign, and been slapped repeatedly. Don't lecture Barack supporters about respect. You have to give it to get it. Why not put your energies into getting her out of debt, so the Nominee whose supporters you dislike so much don't have too.
PUMA PAC THIS!!

How dare he hire her. She once worked for Hillary. She belongs to her ... forever. As Republicans, I mean disgruntled Hillary supporters, we should all vote for McCain.

Judy, are you serious?? Just because Obama has decided to hire someone who he feels is well qualified for the job, you are offended? How was Doyle disloyal? She was fired!! If anything Clinton was disloyal to her and used her as a scapegoat for her own failings! It is just amazing how you and other Clinton supporters will find anything to blame on Obama. I guess it would be too much for you to actually think that it was a nice gesture for Obama to hire someone who has close ties to Clinton. Does this not show that he is trying to bring the two camps together?? You have no idea what went on behind closed doors between Doyle and Clinton so for you to automatically view Doyle as a disrespectful traitor is short-sighted, narrow minded and based on absolutely nothing.

This Patti Solis Doyle sounds like a loser. She couldn't make it work for Clinton, and now Obama wants her? If Patti Solis Doyle said she would not work for Obama if Clinton was being considered for VP, all the more reason to suspect her of malice when taking this position – and maybe to suspect Obama for insincerity as well.

I do commend Obama for sticking up for Hillary today – I had almost decided to vote for him. Then he goes and hires this loser.

Hope Patti Solis Doyle doesn't do for Obama what she did for Hillary – which was not a dang thing! As much I want to vote for McCain out a spite, the last thing we need is 4 more years of Republican mis-rule.

Todd said:
"She probably is the one that sabatoged the Clinton's for this very reason. What a mockery!"

Are you freakin kidding me? What an idiot. The fictional world some of you Hill Maniacs live in is truly scary.

Way to go Bam! Great way to remind us that we are on the same team!

Go Obama!

What a slap in the face, Just another bunch of crap for people to add to their long lists of why they will not vote for Obama...

Women Democrats for McCain

and yet obama encourages these people to disrespect sen. clinton and then tell her supporters "hey you gotta vote for me" uhh no they dont

What a slap in the face, Just another bunch of crap for people to add to their long lists of why they will not vote for Obama...

Anyone who allows or helps McCain to be president doesn't believe in anything Hillary had to say. It's not Obama or the Democratic party that betrayed her but her own supporters in the long run if they vote against her ideals in the coming election.

It only would prove what the media say..people don't care about the issues in an election what-so-ever. they all act as if the American public are morons and we tell them yes but voting blindly.

Patty Doyle was in the tank for Obama all along. I made the right decision to switch to Independent. I don't want any part of the Democratic Party that I have been a part of for 40 years. His arrogance just keeps on going. He praised Hillary yea sure – just trying to get her votes. Obama and Dean and some of the elders of the party has split the party. So all of you Obama Supporters please don't call me a Republican or a racist. I just do not like him or trust him with the most important job in the world.

This move on Obama's part was a clear slap in the face to Hillary. We are not stupid. This seems to be the status quo of how Obama operates. Nice...

This probably won't get posted, but Hillary has indicated that she supports Obama and the only issue she should have with this hire is whether Doyle is good enough to help make a good choice.

Secondly, you nutballs that think Barack is stupid enough to tell Doyle that he wouldn't pick HRC at this point are delusional. Even if he won't pick Clinton, he's not telling anyone and certainly not her former campaign manager.

I'm also suspect of these "quotes" attributable to her about only taking the job if HRC was off the table. I don't seriously that was said. I don't doubt that there is bad blood between her and Clinton.

Things like that happen when you get FIRED. People seem to forget that Hillary hired this woman for a reason. It should be a complement that Barack sees value in the same person.

I just can't wait until McCain (Bush) gets into office. Was this not the type of debate that got George Bush to the White House on two occasions?

Given that we know the RESULTS of that debate today, by all means, let us get MCain into the Oval office so that Bush can complete his mission!

Good luck to the "bitter" Hillary supporters, I hope I never hear them complain about a McCain-Bush administration or policy!

TAKE THE BEST LEAVE THE REST!

I really don't get how the Clinton Supporters are upset that Obama picked Doyle while in the very same breath they say that Obama MUST pick Clinton.
How can you insist that Obama pick and therefore work with Clinton and then say that Obama can not insist that Clinton be willing to work with someone that SHE picked to help run her campaign at one time.

This is just another example of how immature and petty some of her supporters are. And I thought Obama was suppose to be getting all the young, no nothing about politics voters.

Judy, omg she lost...can we move on....i love women but yall r so irrational sometimes...this is so middle school!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clinton Conspiracy Believers Are Going To Be All Over This One!

I think senator Obama made a grave mistake with that hire. A it looks like this person could have possibly been for Obama while working for Clinton, and sabatoging her campaign, and he is making a very big error in the fact that people really do not beleive that he is experienced enough to run the country. He may have had a very intellegent campaign that figured out logistically how to win, with open primaries, and caucus's and states where republicans would vote against Senator Clinton in a heart beat, but the true blue states did not go to Obama and I do not understand why people do not see that. He is not going to make history and change the "map" he is going to lose. I have never voted republican in my life, but I cannot vote for him. I will be taking a good look at Senator Mccain. He should have come out right away, united the party and put her on the ticket......big big mistake!

To ALL of you who continue to disrespect Senator Clinton and her supporters... He needs her, she DOES NOT need him...

He will NEVER get out votes without her and you all might just get used to that...

Stop the idiotic remarks.

Great move Barack. Now that is smart thinking.

Amen! Brian
I am with you. God will seat the government. Everything is for a reason.
Whatever God decides will be, so be it.

Is it me or did the Clinton campaign go negative after Ms Solis' departure?

mccain is un-american.i can no longer support a man who knows nothing about our constitutional rights,and who supports regimes that torture and imprisons people indefinitely.i am ashamed of my former party.they have become what they set out to conquer.

Democrats...Always remember–it's all about bubba and hillary, or is it all about hillary?..35 years of entitlement down the drain because of her pathological lying.

Good Job Obama! Take The Best Out Of The Clinton Camp And Leave The Rest! Put Together The Best Team You Can To Win In November!

Obama get real and stop being such a gentleman for goodness sake. This is politics and you have to be tough on those who mean you harm. You downfall will be your humanitarism. Please get a life and stop being so nice because we don't love nice guys in this country.

Go BAM!

"Patti Solis Doyle I think is a terrific, experienced campaign hand" says Obama, does he not realize that she is also not a loyal person or one that can take responsibility for her actions. This woman was Clintons campaign manager and left "after a string of disappointing primary results". If Doyle did not beleive in Clinton's campaign than she should never have taken the job to begin with. She sounds bitter because Clinton expected her to do the job she was hired for and Doyle failed.
"A top Democrat close to Solis Doyle told Yellin that Solis Doyle would not have accepted the job if she believed Clinton would be Obama's choice for vice president." if this statement is true than Obama is again showing that he does not care about Clinton's supporters who still beleive in her. I am trying to find a reason to vote for Obama however; if he and his supporters do not show that they have better judgement than I am not sure what I will do on election day, I find it hard to have respect for people who have no respect for others (example; Obama supporters booing when Clinton's name is mentioned), by hiring Doyle Obama has hired a person who showed disrespect Clinton out of biterness.

I wish Clinton would go away. Whatever happens after this election, she is finished in meaningful politics. We do not need your supporters to win this election.

HELLO PEOPLE. HILLARY HAS A JOB TO BACK TO. REMEMBER SHE IS A SENATOR.

WELCOME ABOARD PATTI. AND ALL OTHER DEMOCRATIC WILLING TO ENSURE SEN OBAMA IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

I wish everyone would grow up. Yes! There are things that the Clinton campaign did that I didn't agree with, but as Mr. Obama has stated she deserves our respect as a person and an American. Whatever it is that bothers you about Hiliary, let it go. Let the good in you show and be forgiving as GOD would want you to be. Let's stand together and WIN this election.

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

McCain 08

She probably is the one that sabatoged the Clinton's for this very reason. What a mockery!

I wish her well, and Obama well, he is going to need all the support he can get without a majority of the Hillary supporters!

Is there still such a thing as a 'Clinton campaign'?

Patti was fired four months ago and now was hired by someone else. Clearly, Senator Obama felt she had skills to bring to her position, so he brought her onboard.

I am in a general election mindset and can't see how anyone could be upset by this news.

Clinton continues to show how "all about her" she is. God I hope she does not weasle her way into the VP slot.

“When I got out there I shut that down, and made very clear that Senator Clinton deserves respect. She ran a great race and we are moving forward because we want to win in November,” said Obama. “You know I think people were still in primary mindset, and we're moving into general election mindset.”–Barack Obama

Barack sounds like the kind of leader I want.

Now watch the Republican trollers try to stir division on this blog by pretending to be offended Hillary lovers ...
