Hey Obamabots, I've obviously got you so scared that you're trying to undermine my right to speak. Great.

Know this: we're organizing, we're growing exponentially in numbers by the day, we're going to fight you harder than you can ever imaging, and we're going to win.

There's some truth you and Axelrod and believe in.

We're taking our party bad from sleazy people like you.

Count on it.

Obama would be better off with
Dick Gephardt as his VP Running Mate.

The nerve! Gore should be running for president, and Obama, who knows nothing but has only a general idea that he will change things, should be his VP. But, African-Americans voted 92% for Obama, and thus he won the primary. He must be wondering now what to do in November since the voters in the general election will have a different demographic profile.

I think that Obama could have one of the best cabinets we have ever seen. I think Gore would be much better secretary of state or environment.

Why would Gore play second fiddle to Obama? Gore is presidential material and his resume far outshines Obama's. Gore won the popular vote in 2000, the same thing Hillary did in this primary….wouldn't that be awkward for Obama?

Great….two losers on the ticket.

Hillary save us!

Sorry for the typo, s/b:
At least he did not disrespect Al, like his enthusiastic , ignorant supporters dished Hillary Clinton. Obviously, the concept of party unity is foreign to the stupid

At least he did not disrespect Al, like his enthusiastic , ignorant suportes dished Hillary Clinton. Obviously, the concept of party unity is foreign to the stupid

Obviously Gore would make a great VP on any ticket. However I personally would like to see a VP who was there from the begining with Obama, a VP who stood with him through thick and thin. Such a VP he could count on for all his tomorrows.

Every McCain supporter that shoots down Obama and his decisions never says anything good about McCain to counter other than "Experience" and "Patriot" - what has he done all these years with his "experience"?? Examples please….!

Ex Hillary supporter - Obama '08 UNITED DEMS!

Sheesh! Most bloggers here probably didn't bother to read the article.

There is nothing serious about Gore being on the ticket. CNN is just stirring things up to get you to check out the TICKER!

PS Only LOSERS misspell the word 'LOSER'.

It's not 'LOOSER' !

Where is Hillary? I thought she was going to help do whatever she had to do. She needs to keep talking to her supporters so they don't get sued by the real Puma company (which they should).

Hillary for Obama !!! We love you Hillary even though you threw the kitchen sink. It didn't hurt because you missed.

OBAMA IS GRASPING AT STRAWS SINCE NO VOTES CAME HIS WAY AFTER THE NOMINATION!

SMALL HINT……………… THE PEOPLE DO NOT TRUST YOU!

Another four of Gore….will this man not go away and find something to do with his life????

Brian,
How do we spell the GOP candidates name again?
No — NOT "McCann" - Its McCain
Better take some medication.Looks like you have too much of "hatredness" inside you.Or could it be that you are "loosing your bearings" like your candidate?

McCain 08 for failed policies !

Selecting Gore is proof that no Democrat worth his or her salt is willing to risk their career for Obama. Happy Days are here again!!!

WELL, AT LEAST THERE WOULD BE SOME BRAINS BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM!
I RESPECT AL GORE,, BUT NOT OBAMA!

I THINK AL GORE WOULD BE LOWERING HIMSELF TO RUN WITH OBAMA!
OBAMA NEEDS HILLARY'S VOTERS BUT IT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN,HE IS TOO ARROGANT!
PUMA!

Why on earth would Al Gore want to be anyone's VP much less the VP for that hoodlum?

Al Gore would be a great choice.. I am always looking forward for OBAMA / AL GORE Ticket in 2008.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

?PUMA.?? The thing that the bloggers who throw this acronym around will definitely achieve….they will become older, invisible, and angry faster then they could ever believe.

CNN cut off the rest of my statement.
Why do you want ALL of the money to go to the DNC. Afraid you won't have enough to buy the election? Dirty hands!

Finally some good news for the McCain campaign:).

Awesome idea!

Just what the Dems need, 2 losers on the ticket. Way to to Obama…Just what McCain is waiting for. Hillary supporters will flock to McCain more than they are now. Since you don't need Ohio and Florida, are there any other states you want to discard. When you lose in the fall, who are you going to blame? Hillary of course.
By the way, why do you want ALL

Oh for God's sake GIVE IT UP, CNN!!!

Oh wait! Al Gore for VP and Dean remains in charge of DNC? This is the same old Washington politics Obama was pointing out during his campaign, isn't it?

Wow…two pansies. Just what we need.

I'm a Democrat and I do not see the big deal with Al Gore. He's a terrible public speaker, he's a wuss, and HE'S ALREADY BEEN V.P. He'll never do it again. Obama is a tard to even think Gore would consider it.

The headlines just get more and more worthless. Where is Clinton…she'll make things interesting again. I'm bored with Hopey McChangey. The hype is wearing off. He's a politician…PERIOD.

Why would Gore want to be #2 to a man he is clearly more qualified to be President than? If he wanted to hold office, Gore would have ran for President and trounced the rest of the Democrat field.

Gore No More.
Obama/Clinton is the future.

Would like to see it — but doubt it will happen.

I think it is funny that Gore is in Michigan which the DNC took away their votes. What about FL, I remember 2000.

Canada for
Obama
Hillary
Edwards
Gore
What a team!!!!!!

Obama - "townhall" meeting is code for "nobody is showing up"

Do the big rally scenne and bring the "team".

All you people on here, Republican and Democrat alike, who claim the other side is wrong is what is wrong with this country. When you claim to be correct you only leave room for ignorance.

Say it with me people…UNITY.

What if?:

Just curious. Obama is the most liberal man to ever run for the White House. How can any republican truly vote for him when he stands against everything the republicans represent?

Obama will put liberals in the Supreme Court
He will end the war
He will give Gays equal rights in the form of Civil Unions
He will eliminate the tax break for the weathly
He will socialize heathcare (which I am for. makes no sense to put every child through school and yet deny them healthcare)

Again, how can a republican vote for that?

It would have been nice if it was a Gore/Obama ticket but an Obama/Gore ticket that is the real "dream ticket" us democrats have been waiting for.

It will be a Denver surprise.

Al Gore and Barack Obama. Staggering higher energy prices with ecologists in control and terrorism unchecked with a president who talks to anyone, including terrorist presidents who hate Israel and the US.

VS.

John McCain and Mitt Romney. Careful exit strategy from Iraq and tough on terrorist and a top notch CEO for a properly run economy.

My pick John McCain and Mitt Romney 2008.

"There is more to life than increasing its speed."
~Mohandas Gandhi

As Obama himself says, of Gore, "he may not want to be VP again". Give them BOTH some breathing space, and let the best thing evolve in the right time. This vp decision doesn't have to be made in a panic!
Please, why does everything have to be so "instant" here?!

Message to those who intend on rallying around Sen. Clinton for a presidnecy bid in 2012 (if McCain win). Your defiance will haunt four years from now. Understand this; she will never win the Presidency without the black and new voters who support the now Presidential nominee Barack Obama. She needs their vote just as much as Sen. Obama needs yours now.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you….18 million voters is not enough to win the election.

Hell yeah!! Do it Al!

I am an Obama supporter who has sent Hillary Clinton 10 of my hard earned dollars to help her out of her debt… now.. hrmm.. i guess that either makes me worth 5 or 10 of her own supporters….
Where are you?

I don't want either of these clowns. Nader 08

CNN how did Barack side step the question? His response as written above looks complete too me. Why would Gore want to be VP again?

oh please, move on. Gore is old news, plus he sure took his sweet time endorsing Obama. Gore is also a loser. Sorry, but officially if not techically he did lose the election in 2000. So no losers on the ticket! Obama needs a new name if not a fresh face to be his VP!

Obama was obviously just trying to be courteous as usual and show respect to Gore to not simply say no.

It's a riot listening to people call Obama an elitist. John McCain believes he is better than 300,000,000 Americans to be president. It that's not elitist, the word should be redefined. Same story for Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and all the rest including Obama.

If this totally mindless complaint is the best that the Republicans can do, Barack is in great shape.

You really think Gore would play second fiddle to Obama.

I don't really know if this helps or hurts him, but i'm voting for Obama.

Goodness, either Obama followers are simpletons or they are just plain and simply politically naive. Gore as VP? a man who served two terms in a Clinton adm.(an adm. that left office with the highest favorable polling in history), made a bid for pres. and had the supreme court hand the election to bush (much like what the DNC did to Hillary), is highly respected by international community, and makes tons of $ speaking on behalf of the environment….kool-aid drinking dingbats.

country before party…..vote McCain.

I don't think Gore wants that. However, he might see it as an excellent chance to advance his agenda with the environment. VP's can yield lots of power so don't count it out.

Obama / Gore ? I'm think I'm OK with that.

How stupid is that? Not even gore can get the females (married women, according to the stupid polld) to back obama.

Lately, I've said some things on this blog that many of you have found offensive. I deeply apologize. It was never my intent. We all want what's best for our country. We have different opinions, that's all. As the days have gone by, I've learned alot about Barack Obama, The more I hear, the more I'm coming around to his way of thinking. We need change. He'll be a great president.

Amen to Jimbo!

Obama better get some help somewhere now that it's clear he's not going to pick Hillary with his recent hiring. I think Obama is being set up to fail. He's not experienced, not known, no military experience and following the worse President in American History. So unless he gets either Al Gore or………Hillary……I'm a Democrat who won't vote this election.

he should consider Gore as his Vice

he's got everything

change: Gore is a world icon of climate change, the change item of the future

experience both domestic and abroad: Gore was 8 years Vice… nice CV

party unity: I hope that maybe Gore has a good relationship with the clintons

Obama/Gore they should think about it!

Belgium for Obama

What with looser, cry baby, and all the other words that 10 year old use in here. Isn't this mainly a website for adults? I think some of you misspelled DISNEY.COM!

Act likes adult or at least try. Obama supporters, leave Hillary alone and Hillary supporters stop blaming Obama for her loss.

Okay, what part of what Senator Obama said that Al Gore 'may' be on the ticket? Am I missing something? He said he would imagine Mr. Gore does not want to be Vice President again, but would surely want his support and advise if nominated. I missed something?

**I see the Republican posers are still here. LOL Hilarious!

**I did look at a certain website and could not help chuckling at the picture showing the large crowd of 3000 people. Well compared to 75,000. MMM????

Look people, Al Gore as VP; that isn't "change" that this Country needs. We need change from the top. I wish the DemocRATS, could that office tomorrow; enough of this "what I will do, when I"m in Office garbage………….We need change NOW, are you listening CONGRESS……………..

JS from 4:37,
He endorsed Obama AFTER Clinton got out of the race. There was no one else to endorse. But if you already have your mind made up, just say so.

Oh and he isn't going to choose Gore. duh! Like he's going to stand up there and say "Absolutely not. He's not a good choice." LOL come on people! No politician ever gives straight answers because if they did and then GOD forbid decided to change their minds about something WE would rip them a new one. That is just the way it is. Also, I'm pretty sure he already has a good idea of who the running mate will be. Don't you?

Im not quite sure about how that would work out, maybe it could work but when it comes to such a big thing such as being president, Obama doesnt need to take any chances.

Lilarose to answer your question, yes.

Dear God, please bring Hillary back.

You people slay me, AL Gore is not running for anything….he is making way to much money on his global warming sham. Keep drinking the cool-aid too telling me that the democrats are for the people and (let's take the white house back) we are still talking about politicians you know. Choosing McCain or Obama is like walking down the street and picking one prostitute over another! Wake up America!

Al Gore as Vice President (again) would be utterly pointless. I'd rather see him as head of the EPA in an Obama administration.

Charles, it's too bad that YOU are that dumb!!!

Sorry for previous typos; here is an expansion

Re Gore as VP: Gore and commentators about him say he would only go back into politics for "the top spot" But someone tell me what better chance does he have of doing that than becoming a victorious VP with Obama and then succeeding him? What political option am I missing?

He would be VP with portfolio- energy and climate, which as Carville indicated, embraces security as well. A Nobel Prize winner as VP and African American as Pres. And Mc Cain would offer….?

And wouldn't there be a simpathy factor for Gore- those who believed they were wrong in their Bush vote? Everyone loves a second chance at redemption.

Some of you politicos out there give me some hard analysis, not smoke. Thank you

Al Gore is a good man. Quite possibly too good to be seen consorting with non-representing representatives and senators!
I believe I heard him say that he had no interest in the veep job or even the presidency.

Al Gore may be the best choice for championing Obama's energy plans.

Did anyone beside me think that the delivery of his speech was awful? The speech itself was good, but it came out unrehearsed and wooden!

Nope - great guy but the wrong one for this gig.

His environmental policies are too extreme and Obama knows he needs an aggressive energy policy, one that includes nuclear energy and domestic drilling. The two would be at odds on this.

WHY DO SO MANY OF YOU TAKE THE HEADLINES OF THESE TICKERS SO LITERALLY? You act as if the candidates actually wrote the article! The media will pull three words out of a paragraph long quote and spin out a catchy title and people come on here and go to town on each other. Learn how to read beyond the title and look at what the candidate actually said. Use your brains people!

Something wicked this way comes and it’s hailing from Chicago.

Lately, a lot of people have been using my name to post false messages. I just want to put this circus to rest and voice my real views unequivocally.
CNN ain't got the nerve to post this.

I am no democrat.The fact is, my party. the GOP has put such an old and weak candidate that we have to try even harder this time to sell our lies.No option, but to spread hate among democrats and
win this election.Fact is, I am affected by high gas prices,high food prices, high cost of medical insurance and all that.I know my party or McCain doesnt or will not have any solutions for our problems.
My party is run by the lobbyists.McCain is no different.{He didn't hesitate to take the $300,000 from the "rape" millionaire}
But you have understand, we cannot afford to let the democrats
get to the WH.

Gore should be running for President and Obama his VP. What are people thinking.

Eric I have been paying attention and from where I stand Al gore is the same monotone man who said he created the internet.

Yes. A vice president can serve more than two terms.

I love the elitist label - "the limosine liberal"

so on one hand you have rich people who care about seeing others get a fair break in life -limosine liberals

on the other hand, you have rich people who only care about getting even more money for themselves which leaves less for everyone else - republicans

hmmm, you are right, lets stop those elitist SOB's before they help us get universal health care or a better living wage…

I would personally like to thank all of the elitist limosine liberals out there….

I don't think Gore joining the ticket is not necessarily a good idea. He could help bring Florida by stomping there for Obama! There is no better reminder of what might have been! His very presence could point to the fact that McCain WILL be more of the same!

Oh, there's a great idea. That would be a great change in leadership to bring in a failed politician like Al Gore. Gore finally endorses Obama on Monday (who else was he going to endorse, Bob Barr maybe?) and now people suggest he should be VP again. Leave the man as a college professor and filmmaker friend of Michael Moore. Better yet, let's have Michael Moore as VP.

Worst idea ever. Too many people remember hating Clinton. Gore would only reverse the tide of change.

He needs a white conservative male at this side to win the ignorant blue collar swing voters.

Change we can believe in, aye? "Fresh and new" politics, huh?

Let's see: Gore, Dodd, Kennedy, Biden, Reid, and on and on and on.

Reminds me a lot of what Bush ran on: change and outside the Beltway, only then to come in lacking sufficient experience (though Obama's pales by comparisons) and surround himself with the same ol' Washington political players.

Just say Nobama.

McCain '08 - Experience for a Change

This a silly pointless thread. Neither Senator Obama or any nominee would ever say that they are ruling someone out. That is standard political etiquette. What the hell does CNN expect him to say?, and you call yourself journalists.

As much as I like him, Gore back in the White House as VP does not represent change and could be damaging to Obama's platform. Another role maybe cabinet-level, would probably be better.

I can't see gore as vp, but I could see him in a cabinet position of some sort.

If Hillary supporters are MORE interested in the Candidates than the Major Issues facing this nation, let the "bitter voters" go ahead and vote for Mcain! Some of us will NOT be willing to listen to those "bitter voters" when:
1. the price of gas hits $5,oo plus
2. our people remain stuck in Iraqi
3. when Hillary is off with Bill enjoying their $109 million
4. when the supreme court is finally loaded with conservative judges
5. when we are burden with the invasion of Iran, and the list goes on.

No one, not even Obama, should beg these "bitter Hillary" voters; let them go ahead and vote for McCain and the Republicans!

Sorry everybody I've been out of my right mind go Demmssss..

CNN, please tell me why you even have these blogs if you don't post what people are saying. It seems to me you are picking out what you want people to read instead of letting people be heard. Sad, really sad, I thought you were better than that, I guess not. So much for fair reporting.

Al should stick to the environment thing. He is good at it and can influence change as head of the EPA or the like.

He merely replied to a question by a student reporter. Your headline is misleading and, unfortunately, fairly typical of your coverage and grandstanding of this primary.

God Bless You, Tim Russert. If only the rest would learn by example.

Obama/Gore Now that's the REAL dream ticket.

Even John Edwards refuses to become Barack's VP let alone Al Gore.
Barack supposed to pick other with the same lack of experience as himself.

I would be very supportive of the Obama campaign if he selected Al Gore as his VP. He won the popular vote in 2000 and he position on the evironment since he left office has left as a world leader of global change.

Wow! This is a story? Buh-bye McSame

I don't think Gore would want to be on a losing ticket.

Just so you guys can ignore the facts a little more for your fantasy worlds but—

Obama is now ahead in VA. He is now ahead in MI. Solidly ahead in OH. Ahead in IA. Ahead in NM. 2 points out in NV and NC and the GOP (including Karl Rove) has basically conceded CO to Obama, where he is solidly ahead.

The only state John InSain will take from the Kerry column is NH.

Obama is going to win, just so you know. Thanks.

Lilarose, yes.

If Gore is the VP nominee, Obama gets my vote.

No! No Gore is above all this political garbage. Why would he be second in command? Gore is too good to be vice president or president for that matter.

Well I see that today's Blogs give a political-negative AIM to obama and now Gore.
get on with the real nitty gritty CNN.
This Presidential race is about the ISSUES or is that not imporant to you.
What about the Event that took place in Michigan yesterday. The contents and the response Obama (and Gore) recieved from Michigan

Obama 08
Oh come on ans post this one finally

Anything but the past criminal administration, the lies to get us in this unjust war that has killed more people than 9/11.

The arrogance amazes me! To think that Gore would stoop to being Obama's running mate. Get real—it is not going to happen. He would have to be an idiot—and he is an intelligent man.

Lately, a lot of people have been using my name to post false messages. I just want to put this circus to rest and voice my real views unequivocally.

I am no democrat.The fact is, my party. the GOP has put out such a old and weak candidate that we have no option, but to spread hate among democrats and

Obama is a God!

OBAMA / GORE

The first time for may years the world would look up on America again!

Especially after the worst president in the world, George W. Why vote forhis puppet who always voted for his bills… oh forgot he thinks completely differen and he wants to start offshore drilling again to save the climate..

Greetings from Germany

go for it,al!at least you are a man of integrity.unlike them clintons.

There are no term limits for VP.

I respect Gore, but no Gore for VP. The VP choice comes down to four names: Hillary Clinton, Jim Webb, Joe Biden, and Gen. Wesley Clark

Gore has already expressed he doesn't want it, so this must be a terribly slow news day.

That said, to those who say Gore would not represent change, a Nobel Prize winning environmentalist is a MAJOR change from the last eight years. Just because he's held the office before doesn't mean he's not vastly different from the current administration.

But, again, I don't think he wants the job. I also don't think Obama would ask, have him say no, and then have whomever he chooses next be mocked for being his second choice.

cnn reporters consistently ask really stupid questions-
why would gore want to be vp AGAIN?

well we need a lot of though democrats to beat mccain and we will win November

What a joke. Gore is done with elected office.

Obama / Gore ………Now thats something to shout about!!!
Lets bring honesty and honor back to the Whitehouse.

I am so sick of Hillary's cry babies.

Put up or shut up. No one cares.

If the Clintons didn't have millions of skeletons in their closet, may be the DNC would have backed Hillary. the Clintons didn't stand a chance in hell against the Republicans this time around.

Before you wet yourself some more, google the name and see how many negatives pop up for them.

I am all for a woman president. We had Margaret Thatcher in England. She is the best PM after Churchill. So it wasn't because she was a woman that she lost. She lost because she was a CLINTON.

Change is needed and Gore's image of the way things should be environmentally is a great match with the character Obama has and his views of how things need to change amongst. Both see the changes that need to happen to correct the damage George Bush has done to the image of the United States around the world. We have more people hating us now than we did when he started as President…….creating more Terrorists. In the mean time, his cronies in the Oil Market are becoming billionaires during his presidency. What a good friend he is to a select few people in the US. He is laughed at by the rest of the world. Kind of sad really…….Educated communites did not vote for Bush…….Hmmmm

There's a vast left wing conspiracy to use my name and defame me! I bet Obama is laughing at his computer right now! I'll never vote for you, how do you like that, Mr. LikestoUseMyName! I'll only vote for McCann!

Re Gore as VP: Gore and commentators about him say he would only go back into politics for "the top spot:. But someone tell me what better chance does he have of doing that than becoming a victorious VP with Obama and then succeeding him? What political option am I missing?

And wouldn't there be a simpathy factor forGore- those who believet they erreed in their Bush vote- everyone loves a second chance at redemptions.

Some of you politicos out there give me some hard analysis, not smoke. Thank you

You people who keep saying "Gore couldn't win this" or "Gore couldn't win that" need to remember that GORE DID WIN THE ELECTION IN 2000 and if the conservative Supreme Court had upheld the decision of the people casting votes in Florida, he would have been our 43rd POTUS.

Obama is the best person for WH.I didnt know much about his wiseness and charm till i actually listened to his the other day on TV.Yes, for a change i actually listened to someone.What a humble person.Must say he has some real good plans for this country.His univeral health care might actually help me afford medicines(I have been suffering from PTSD since my return from Afganistan).I am sorry i have been such a Dhead all this time.Vote democratic.Vote Obama !

Stories in the political ticker:

Barack Obama (1736)
Hillary Clinton (1730)
John McCain (916)

We won't be fooled this November, CNN.
_________________________________________________

I'm glad you pointed that out because that's the problem and not in the way I'm guessing you are applying. The fact that McCain has only half the tickers than that of Clinton and Obama is good for McCain.

McCain can go out and appoint satin himself as his new campaign chair and no one will report it. Obama can name a guy to his chief of coffee making staff who knew a guy who knew a guy who had a shady auto loan and it's all over the press. You want to fly under the radar this early because you can make mistake after mistake as John McCain has and no one knows or calls you on it. I would prefer McCain's ticker number go waaaay up as the media starts to report about all of the lobbyist in his campain, Carly's issues, and his 1000 flip flops.

June 17th, 2008 4:36 pm ET
To Axelrod and his Obamabots, please stop highjacking my name–Brian Knoxville, TN–to salaciously undermine my right to speak in our democracy. Frankly, it's just not wise. If you continue to undermine our democratic system and the principles upon which it is based, none of us will have any choice in the end other than to attack each other like a bunch of rabid animals. We need our democratic system and the principles upon which it is based to keep America strong, you morons, and all you care about is your petty self-interests and desire for power by any means.
Puma Democrat

Gore is hardly a loser. His resume includes senator, vice president, presidential candidate, Nobel prize winner, and Oscar winner. He did win the 2000 election, something that George W. Bush can never say. He was a better vice president than Dick Cheney or Dan Quayle.

What matters is whether Obama will use him for anything except making speeches at banquets that the President doesn't have time to attend. We need to use Gore's talents AFTER the election.

I still support Clinton for VP. Lot's of women were angry about Clinton's loss. Clinton can soothe them by allowing them to vote for a female vice president.

Why is it that as soon as Obama is endorsed by anyone, the press wonders if that person is going to be Obama's running mate????

This is silly journalism.

Obama already knows who his running mate is. He just can't say yet. So stop bugging. He'll announce it just before the Convention.

Can anyone list the accomplishments of Al Gore while he was VP?

Having Gore on the ticket is not change, it is just more of the same, but an older version.

Quit questioning Obama about his VP pick. He answered that question a week ago for crying out loud. He'll let everybody know in due time like everyone candidate before has done. GGGEEESS!!

WOW………….I can see it now.

obama 08, CLINTON 2012!!!

Way to make it happen.

Al Gore talks about curbing CO2 emissions, yet flies everywhere in a jet to deliver his word, talk about a hypocrit. By the way CO2 is one of the chemical components in the process known as photosynthesis, ironically the by product of most forms of photosynthesis is OXYGEN. And if global warming is so real, why are scientists beginning to worry me may be getting ready to go through another mini ice age. That big orange thing in sky doesn't seem to have very many spots and when that happens it gets cold. Also there is a petition signed by more than 31000 scientists saying there is no supporting evidence of Al "a convenient lie" Gore's global warming. Go to petitionproject.org if you don't believe it. Global warming is just a ploy to separate more money from people's wallet and to force us to live a certain way. Sounds like communism to me. But then again Barack is a Marxist and that's just two steps short of being a full blown commie anyway

I still want Hillary, but Gore is a man of integrity who cares about this earth. He'd make a great VP.

> Al Gore is a hypocrite–He cried foul when he won the majority of voters

Wow, and now we're back to making up facts. Gore's contesting of the votes was on counting votes in Florida not that he won the majority of the votes. Do yourself a favor, read a book sometime.

Why is it every blog I go to Clinton supporters continue to say
McCain 08 / Clinton 12

Just as Obama needs your votes you will need Obamas vote to get her elected. If he does not get elected she wont make it past the primary season making it her second loss.

Is this what you want? If you want to give her a chance vote for Obama and unite. Dont continue to complain that she lost because he cheated or because the media made him the nominee. She lost because she lost.

Vote for Obama and Clinton will get the Presidency in 2016. If not she does not have a chance.

OBAMA 08′

Yes, a vice president can serve as long as he wants (if the president wants him too)

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.

Obama/Gore… now that would be a DREAM TICKET!!!

Would be nice to see Gore give another around at President someday too.

BHO doesn't have any experience on the federal level except a half baked term as senator. For the Kennedy-Obama comparison makers, remember that JFK had 13 years in Congress before becoming Prez. Those who want change really have forgotten the past–oh, right, they use it selectively.

Obama should be allowed to make his own choice for VP, and I believe it will be a smart one.

Go Obama 2008!
Si se puede!

Gore would not do that, he has 100 times more experience than Obama,what a insult, besides he has already said he is not interested,. he has more important thing to do.

Hey Eli,

What about Hillary Clinton. She endorsed Obama as well!

Obama cannot pick someone who is obviously much older. Obama is about the future and an older guy like Gore is about the past. If Obama picks an older guy as VP, it will look too much like Bush - Cheney. If Obama picks a VP based on experience, he will have validated the comments of people who keep saying Obama does not have enough experience. Obama needs to select a woman as his VP, or a man under 45.

MAYBE NOBAMA AND ALL HIS FRIENDS WILL FALL INTO A BLACK HOLE AND WE WILL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN. WOULD SUIT ME JUST FINE.

Ex-VP Gore has always been a terrific choice, but Senator Obama will place Gore in the Environmental Area to continue the FABULOUS JOB and Awareness that he has put forward - not only for America but the rest of the World.
Anyway, Gore already decline on taking on that position again, it would be a disservice to ask him again.

Can we PUH LEASE stop trying to guess who the man is going to pick as his VP?? We will find out; its not like he will keep it a secret until January.

Geesh!

Obama O-8!

Obama can pick Gore or Hillary as a running mate.
No doubt either choice would make an unbeatable ticket in November! Can you say landslide!

I'm so happy Dubya's day are numbered.
Who is McSame gonna pick?…Who cares? hahahahahaha

So much for change and the future if Obama selects Gore. That would be the most hypocritical thing to do.

No Obama/Gore ticket - it perpetueates the politics of the past. Obama is way - way too smart to even consider it. He has to save face by "not ruling him out."
Reality check: Obama knows he is moving beyond the politics of the past, and his reform of American politics will need someone like Bill Richardson as VP, or if he wants to even compete with the elderly vote, he'll need a vet like Wesley Clark. That is the only way he can maintain a solid platform without contradicting his argument.

Will Al Gore bring to the ticket what Barack Obama needs to win this election??? That is the question to think about….

Sounds like a 'no'.

After reading these comments I now understand the failure of
No Child Left Behind

please read (Mike,ct)

I don't think Obama was sidestepping. I am sure he and Gore had already discussed the position he would be in the Obama administration.

Everyone need to stop trying to second guess the Obama Team on the VP. I am sure they have already made up their minds.

/blind /worship

Obama '08

Would not vote for Gore if he ran for president…comes across too weak, not as smart as Obama. He is not respected enough. this time the choice of VP is very important and the criteria should be tougher. More respected people out there. I would like to see consideration given to the RIGHT republican. WOW!

Gore deserves to be President. America made the mistake eight years back.

Question: A president is limited to two terms.

Can the vice president work for more than two terms?

Pipe Dreams why would Gore be VP he has risen above politics. My money is on Dean, or Clinton if in 4 weeks the race in less than 10 points.

As a politician, Al Gore worked hard but had a negligible impact and was dismissed by our country in favor of a man not nearly his equal. As a private citizen, Al Gore worked hard, stomped naysayers to bring about global policy change and was given a Nobel Prize. I'm for Al Gore continuing to make the world a better place by staying out of office… and I'll bet he's for it, too.

Do you really think Al Gore - at this point in his life - settle for VP position? I do not see or want that for him and I am hoping neither does Obama.
I can see Gore in the administration in a strategic position - but not as VP. As saying goes, "been there/done that."
Gore's experience should not be disrespected by anyone, including you media folks who try to down-play his endorsement no matter whether it came before or now - it is important.

So no VP for Al Gore - Secretary of State, Foreign Policy, something like that.
GO OBAMA/WEBB

Walt—-and the Republican candidates are better, how?

McCain was the only sensible choice but that was because the bar was lowered close to the floor.
So, what about their VP? Huckabee wants it, Romney wants it….good choices–one who doesn't believe in evolution and would rather run the country using the Bible instead of the Constitution and the other a venture capitalist who stripped down American companies to sell off for profit. Best of all worlds.

Put Gore on the ticket…

hmmm

And then Jimmy Carter as Sec. of State

That would be EXCITING CHANGE!!!

Why would Obama choose Gore if he is interested in change? You can't affect change, if you have the same old people in office. He is a leftover from the Clinton era.

Proud American June 17th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Now there's a real Dream Ticket!!!

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Yes it is. For the Repubs. If Obama is about change why would he pick Al?

Obama = 2nd Carter term. Obama said he was willing to negotiate with those enemies directly and "without precondition" that sound like Carter. Would he have done this with Hitler in 1940?

I want Obama to win, not because I like him or dislike McCain but because I want something different then what we've had in the last 8 years. But after watching Gore speak at Obama's endorsement last night, I do not want another Cheney type VP… not that Gore or anyone in this world can be as evil as Cheney but because of the robotic and un-human way that he spoke in.

God bless us all, our country and the rest of the world.

"Racist people"? Oh, yeah I forgot Republicans are racists. Hmmm?? Let's see. Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas… appointed by Republicans. Yep, I'm voting McCain because he's white not because Obama has no record of achievement in Congress. And by the way don't kid yourselves Obamanites, Al Gore is an elitist and dyed in the wool good old boy.

I love Al Gore. He should have been president. I don't think he'd agree to be a running mate - again. But I'm happy he's now involved and hope he stays in the limelight.

NOBAMA! NOWAY! NOHOW!

Tweedle dee and tweedle dumb.

Looser with looser, of course will result a big looser ……. I will keep saying that Nooooooooo Obama, yes for McCain this time and Hillary on 2012. I am bringing more and more democrat people with me to vote McCain
Bad DNC

If Al Gore was VP then he would be like The Godfather of the Democratic Party!!! LOL Come Al we know you gotta few more years in ya! Godfather status is only a YES away!

Obama/Gore 08 = Unbeatable

Do you honestly think that Al Gore wants to be number 2 again?

Let's be real about this. He was 537 votes away from being president. Would you?

Good luck Sweetie but I believe that VP Gore has ruled Obama out. I will be LOL in a couple of years when you Obama supporters are crying over BO's mistakes. You would believe anything! BTW…is anyone tired of listening to JAWMAL on CNN…..I can't believe your paying for his commentary.

I am not an Obama supporter per se but I see him winning "big" in November. I just don't see how any American that truly wants change can vote republican and for those of you Hillary supporters that continually say that Obama has no experience…how much did your beloved Bill Clinton have before the White House…?

Will someone please tell what there is to really hate about Barack Obama? And please speak intelligently for once.

As far as I'm concerned he comes from very humble beginnings in a household with no father and somehow manages to graduate from Harvard Law School. He has a beautful family and is actually pleasant to listen to during his speech (unlike the nails on the chalkboard that we have dealt with for the last eight years).

Even if you don't agree with his positions there is nothing to really hate about Obama.

A young, male, white, undecided voter with HOPE…

I don't know…what does Caroline think?

At least we know where the excitement. Why is everyone so interested
in Obama's running mate? The media is turning this into a circus. Choosing a VP is serious business. Al Gore would make a fine VP, but he like Hillary is too opinionated to be a good balance for Obama. We are not trying to make history twice, only once will surfice. Just let Obama be the history maker right now.

Why would he want to do what he has already done twice before. I think Al Gore would better serve the American people by continuing to be the strong voice he already is on issues of climate change, global warming and the environment. There he can truely do the most good for the American people and the world.

That would be a good ticket, however, after being VP for eight years, I don't see it happening. I like Colin Powell as VP, now that would be a great ticket!

God help us if Obama wins…..we'll get " change" alright, but not the kind we're hoping for.

Why is this even a story? Gore has already stated he is not interested in being VP again. Must be a slow news day.

"how does having al gore on the ticket who served in the clinton administration equate with change?"

Well Rachel, those of us who have paid attention for the last dozen years know that Gore had a split with the Clintons in their second term. You don't remember Bill campaigning for Al, do you? How does that equate with change? Gore himself has changed (or at least, his public perception) since he was in office. He went from Gorebot 2000 to a personable, Nobel prize-winning champion of the environment. Besides, haven't you seen any polls showing concern about Obama's experience? Wouldn't it make sense to have a running mate with experience? Thnk about it.

And the plot thickens !

I think this is great, Gore would make an excellent VP. He has spunk and moxie !

Making Al Gore your vice president is a great way to lose the election, Obama. Not that your inexperience and appeal to demographics with low voter turnouts won't do that for you already…

gore woiuld be great but what about russ feingold? he'd bring in WI for sure and helps bring in other Midwest states like Iowa and Ohio and maybe Minnesota. obama/feingold would be great!

Hello, it's me, Hillary. I would like to thank all the people who supported me throughout the campaign, but it's over now.

All you nutjobs still 'supporting' me by voting for McCain have lost your minds. You really need to get some professional help - I'm not the answer to all your problems - I'm just a politician.

Go out and form an identity of your own and try to solve your own problems for once.

Gore has been there and done that… If anything he could be Energy Gzar.

Gore is a good man and Karl Rove and sean Hannity need to know that!!

Personally, Gore's endorsement for Obama is another indicator of the Democratic Party's willingness to form under the leadership of Obama. I know there are still alot or raw emotions and hurt feelings surrounding the grueling primary that we endured. But as a party we did just that - - -endured. We need to defeat McWar in November, so lets come together in the spirit of unity to take back the White House for the people. God bless Obama and the Democratic party!

Obama '08

Obama….Please choose Gore, then you'll surely LOSE!

this arrogant boob needs plenty of adult supervision, but why on earth would gore, clinton, or any intelligent dem want a ticket on his sinking ship of fools?

Oh yea…Gore would just jump at the chance to be second banana to Obama. Give me a break!

DING DING DING!!!

GOOD ANSWER!!!!

Only a fool believes he knows everything. The true mark of wisdom is getting the best information from the best people and using it. This is how Obama was able to run such a successful campaign thus far. I know he will take his time and make the right decision for himself and the country.

Here goes again - I thought Obama was the "know all" "do all" doesn't need anybody else cause be's all powerful. Now he hopes Gore will help him when he's president. What a nightmare this is becoming. Obama just needs to keep his mouth closed very tightly until November if he wants to have any chance of winning. More and more his "true colors" are showing and the black isn't what is bothersome.

Haha Down with Obama, if he's a loser how come he's leading in the polls and leading in plenty of red states? (Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado)?

Angry PUMA voters! LOL! Go over to the Republicans, that's fine with us true Dems. The gene pool is cleaner over here without you anyway.

Carter and Mondale all over again.

He's a millionaire, one of 100 Senators, and is the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. I wish I was that kind of loser…..give me a break 'Down with Obama'.

Down with Obama,
What has Obama lost exactly????
Nothing. And that is really BIG TIME!

I know that you need to lose one thing, your ignorance.

now thats experience!!!!!!!!

Love the post Down with Obama at 4:37.
Just one little thing. Why do you say he's a loser?
Or, do you not have any examples?

What kind of people vote for McCain.

I forgot racist people.

OBAMA done nothing wrong to HILLARY .

Why HILLARY supporters will vote McCain its RACIST.

OBAMA 08 HILLARY 2016

Conferring with wise old men helps a lot. Go ahead Barry do the deed.
