CNN

Maybe Farakhan or Sharpton is on the short list, I mean they are friends and stauch Obama supporters aren't they. By the way for all you professional political pundits, Ohio may be in play this political season but the Democrats have less of a chance with Missouri than they do with Tennessee. PLEASE.

Bayh ok! Hillary YES!!

WESLEY CLARK!
But I like the suggestion from Phil – Chesterton, IN.
Chuck is cool!

There's no need for Obama to even start to send himself through these changes. He should keep Hillary, Bayh and Bill as far away from him as he possibly can.

Indiana is going to go Democratic without Bayh. As far as Bayh's next term, I think he is going to have a hard fight to keep it.
Bayh has built up a lot of distrust here in Indy. The public here has a better relationship with Senator Lugar (R)

No Hillary and No Bayh for VP

So what?

Nothing super-ambitious or greedy aboiut these 2 cretins... serving the citizens of the USA is nothing more than a guise to put your full snout into the public coffers and gain extraordinary power!

That's SERVICE?

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO ABSOLUTELY DO NOT PICK RENDELL. SLICK EDDIE WILL RUN YOU DOWN. HE IS TIGHT W/THE CLINTONS AND A BULLY. HE ABSOLUTELTY IS NOT ANYTHING ABOUT CHANGE. CAN'T EVEN GET THE BUDGET DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER WANTS TO FURLOUGH THE STATE WORKES AGAIN.. NO NO NO PLEASE NO BELIEVE ME YOU HE WILL MOW OBAMA DOWN.

WOW, 17 Ticker stories and 14 of them are Barack Obama stories. Imagine that CNN. You can talk about Fox News all you want but they are considerably more "Fair and Balanced" than you are.

Case in point everyone of Fox's political talk shows has a liberal Democrat counterpart or political strategist. You have 28 political reporters and 2 are conservative reporters.

Dukakis was well ahead too and he lost the election; Obama will lose too. By the time November rolls around everyone will wonder why Democrats picked the weakest candidate – other than being black what qualifiations does he have? He's a speech and has no policies whatsoever; he takes the opposite stance of his opposition not because it's a logical choice but because he has to look like he has ideas – he has none. Obama is a motivational speaker that has confused many people into believing in his hype. I won't fall for it. I was a Clinton supporter; even if Clinton is VP I won't vote for Obama. He's the wrong choice for this country; McCain is the wrong choice too. Both democrats and republicans picked the two biggest turds and put them up as their candidates – however either way either choice is going to wreck this country.

Gee, you dummies. What's with the incomplete sentence at the end?

Let the republican party use the word "bitter". I am sure that at some point in the past eight years we all have been bitter. When things are not what they should be, all kinds of emotions surface. Bitter is not such an unthinkable attribute or emotion when it is felt based upon a solid reason for being bitter. There are probably a number of republicans who have been bitter about the state of our country over the past eight years. Let them find something with more substance than an emotion to use as a weapon against Senator Obama. If we are honest, some members of the republican party are probably bitter over the fact that Senator Obama is the democrat opponent against Senator McCain.

I agree with Fella from Chicago...please read the left behind series. You will soon understand the importance of the Hindu nations rallying and praying for Obama's election to this nations highest office.

Doesn't matter who the VP running mate will be because come November, Obama will SHOCK AND AWE ALL THOSE WHO HARBOR REPUB-NANTS – Sounds pretty idiotic huh? I agree.

Obama/ Richardson or Webb or Sebelius '08

"Though Bayh was particularly critical of Obama after the Illinois senator's now-famous "bitter" comments, and suggested the remark could fatally harm him in a general election."

Let them go ahead! We'll all be bitter in the end....

Or maybe Joe Biden even after he said that Obama looked so fresh and clean We can forgive him (yes Obama can )!!!!!!!

HERE ARE OBAMA VP SHORT LIST.

1. OSAMA.
2. MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD.
3. KIM JUNG-IL.
4. FIDEL CASTRO.
5. KHALED MASHAAL'HAMAS LEADER'.
6. REV.WRIGHT.
7. LOUISE FARRAKHAN.
8. TONY REZKO.
9. BILL AYER.
10. PFLEGER.

Jeff,

The VP position under this administration has changed the status of VP. Dick C. has had tremendous power. Even if you agree with him or not the VP position is not what it used to be. The VP is a position of power and with Hillary as VP she will definitely add even more weight.

You know what's wrong with our government? The electorate. these are the ones who put Bush in the White House, not once, but twice. These are the idiots who think the election is Monday Night Football and they are going to root for the other team, because their team lost. you want to change the government? Then you need to educate epople Like Trailer More, who thinks she can vote for McCain now and Hillary will be there in 2012. How about Debbie? Who is so lost. She calls Joe Biden weak. Folks this isn't Survivore or American Idol. This is for real and is really important. Please do everyone a favor and get a clue.

If Obama chooses Mr Bayh over Sam Nunn, Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, or even Hillary Clinton, then he means change! Because Obama will choose someone who SHOULDN'T be VP for his vp

And yes to Bill Richardson as V.P.

Senator Bayh is a good choice.

Just say no to Hillary Clinton as V.P. (yes Obama can )!!!!

Wise man. Fellow Obama supporters when are we going to start the DR. Evil website. If any of you have seen Austin Powers, you would know Mc Cain is the perfect Dr. Evil. Look at his walk and talk. If they can play the game so can we.

JOE BIDEN , MAYBE, EVAN BAYH, NO, SAM NUNN MAYBE.
TOM DASCHLE, NO,, CHRIS DODD , NO, PAT LEAHY, NO
AL GORE: HE PROBABLY WOULD NOT ACCEPT,BUT HE IS ON THE
SHORT LIST AND WILL GET THE VP SPOT IF HE WANTS IT.

FOR JOHN MCCAIN:: MAYOR BLOOMBERG, MITT ROMNEY
GOV.CRIST OF FLORIDA;
THE BEST OF ALL IF MCCAIN CAN PERSUADE HIM IS WITHOUT A DOUBT: GENERAL AND FORMER SEC. OF STATE: COLIN POWELL.
GENERAL COLIN POWELL HAS SERVED UNDER 3 PRESIDENTS AND HAS IMPECCABLE CREDENTIALS.. HE IS THE ACE IN THE HOLE FOR MCCAIN. A CERTAIN VICTORY FOR MCCAIN WITH COLIN POWELL.

Who is McSame going to chooses as a VP running mate? No one seems to talking about that. I guess it's because so many people don't really care. Advice to OBAMA: continue to take your time, as this is a very important decision in so many ways. Yea!!!OBAMA 08.

im June 25th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Recent polls suggest only about 10% of Hillary supporters wouldn't vote for Obama. Expect to see that number drop even more in the coming weeks.

With that said, I think Bayh would make a good choice. He may be a "Washington insider" being a Senator, but in a lot of ways he's a blank slate for most people outside of Indiana and would be in keeping with Obama's message of change.

Polls are highly inacurate, here in FL I only know a few people the supported Hillary that plan on voting for Obama, most of them are still waiting to see who his VP is, have already decided to vote McCain, and I know quite a few people like myself that have left the party, and guess what. We don' t take the polls so the polls do not truly reflect the numbers.

Obama-Clinton ticket is the best choice. If Hillary Clinton is not chosen then the question will be. Why not Hillary? This will only cause the anger to be renewed. Obama will be helped by Hillary and the excitement for the compaign will once again be felt. Some Obama supporters might be angry but his supporter will stick with him. Whatever he does he needs to do it soon.

Tamara

GREAT... Obama has some great choices.... I would like him to choose... Evan Bayh or Joe Biden or William Cohen or Jim Webb

I still think that Obama should take a serious shot at trying to convince Colin Powell to be his running mate. I think the combination of them both would be a real fantastic ticket. It also solves the foreign policy and military experience questions as well.

BIFF, BIFFINGTON... June 25th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

PLEASE WITH THE HILLARY THREATS….

GEEZ. ALREADY….

OH.. AND THE RECITATION OF HER STATS… (18 million.. blah blah.. popular vote, blah blah…

Hillary lost through a botched election where voters were not counted at all, counted as half votes, or even had their vote for Hillary taken from them and given to Obama. Obama's win is just as questionable a win as the Bush win was in Florida because it does not represent the full voice of the people. People were punished with their vote in two states for actions they were not even responsible for. This means that to a lot of people I know here in FL who had their votes stolen fromt them, that Obama really is not the person who won, but the person who was hand selected to win by the DNC. I will vote for Obama if Clinton is on the ticket, if not I will vote for McCain. It is not a threat but my right because I have left the Democratic Party and I am member of "No Party" now.

In this artcile they show how the polls are going Obama's way..the polls always said Obama was ahead of Clinton in the primaries and lo and behols she blows him away..

the media is Obama-biased.

hillaryisourchoice.com

Oh, vote for McCain already. Your whining is getting old and your threats are weak. Polls show Obama ahead in this race. The people who have common sense and brains will choose the next president. and YOU are not it.

VP WANNABEES ARE COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK NOW THAT OBAMA APPEARS TO BE CRUISING TO BECOME THE NEXT
PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY. EVEN A REPUBLICAN SENATOR
WANTS TO RUN ON OBAMA.S COAT TAILS.
NO WONDER! OBAMA'S VP WILL BECOME PRESIDENT AFTER OBAMA .OBAMA'S APPEAL WILL ELECT HIS VP TO THE PRESIDENCY. WE ALL KNOW THAT.

PUMA

Pissed UnAmerican mindless adults

I would choose Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters.

Its funny reading these messages. It seems that people from West Virginia and Kentucky think the whole country thinks as backwards and as racist as them. Of course you think Obama will lose. Everybody in your state does. Your neighbors do. Check out the latest electoral pole map that has Obama winning comfortably.

And you wine drinking liberals need to study politics and government more so when these dumb people say ignorant things you can just ignore them or come up with factual comebacks.

Bush Dumbed Down the country and Obama will smarten us up.

Obama/Webb 08

Neither are strong enough nor has the international experience to be this VP. How about Bill Clinton?

Anyone would like to be Obama's VP.
I think AL GORE (if he is OK) would be the best choice.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Me and my family and quite a few of my friends here in FL all agree, give us Hillary for a VP or we will be voting for McCain. All the other VP choices on that list really suck! I would never vote for an Obama/Bayh ticket!

He should ask Tigers Woods to be VP. Excellent name recognition. Will get more young voters. Will attract women voters. Even conservative executives (most are avid golfers) would probably vote for him. And more importantly, the PGA would become more competitive.

That's a definite NO vote for Obama if Bayh is VP pick. Hillary for VP or it's a write for Hillary or vote for McCain from me.

PUMA.. ROAR!

I believe Hillary would be the best VP choice

Honest opinion.

My bet is obama is flip flopng on who he is going to pick for vp.

Obama supporters don't deserve Hillary or her supporters. You are all arrogant fakes who's self indulged attitudes and egos robbed the smartest candidate running.

No Clinton. She's too polarizing a figure, as most polls have shown that she costs Obama as many votes as she gains him.

As for her "18 million voters", that totally disenfranchises caucus states, like Washington where more people voted than in several of her "states that count" combined. I'm sick to death of her lying, malicious ways.

Webb, Nunn, Biden, in that order, would be better choices than Bayh.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
You crazy cat ladies are incredible. HRC is gone, she doesnot have 18 million follwers. They are gone. Many left when she claimed she was shot at by snipers, or said she was always against NAFTA. Or when she NEVER released her tax info, or who contributed to her husbands library (it is said it was almost completely paid for by the Saudi's, why? Don't know but makes me wonder), or when she refused to address the midnight pardons. Or when she pandered to the FL and MI voters. Or when she said delegates are what is important. But then changed her mind and tried to claim popular vote was what was important (minus caucuses or any primary she lost).

She is gone, and hopefully it's for good. It wasn't because of her gender, unless all women lie and say the things I mentioned above.

I can't say it any more plain – if he wants my vote he will pick Hillary, otherwise I vote for McCain.

I support Jack Cafferty for Obama's V.P.

Jeff – Illinois June 25th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

"only one person is capable of bringing in 18 million voters and that's Hillary Clinton!"

minus however many were Operation Chaos Republicans

minus however many will vote for Obama with or without Hillary (most)

minus however many are offset by additional Clinton-hating Republicans turning out to vote for McSame

Let's put Hillary in a useful position, not waste her talents and power in the VP spot. Secretary of Health & Human Services? Secretary of State? I don't understand why so many of her supporters would want her in a role which is little more than a title (VP).

Jeff it is truly sad but the answer to your question is 1) either they are so mad and evil they want to see something bad happen to Sen. Obama so she can take over the No. 1 spot or 2) they are racist and can't stand the fact he won so they want to TRY to belittle him by demanding he use her or else. I say NO to HRC as VP. He needs someone he can trust and doesn't have to keep one eye open on. In the Clinton's case two eyes on. He should try to get her a job on the Supreme Court (although the republicans would never allow that). There she would really be good I have to admit it.

whatever...Bandwagoner. There is only one person fit to be President and it was stolen from her.

I'd say yes to VP, too. I could use the pay raise and I love sitting around doing nothing.

I don't like any of the political parties I just vote for the candidates that I prefer. I am voting for Obama and it would be a mistake to pick Clinton as his running mate. Granted, she got 18 million votes, but I doubt ALL 18 million would vote for McCain just because Hillary lost! Some will, but it would not be worth it for Senator Obama pick Senator Clinton as VP to guarantee a win because for starters what about the rancor from Bill Clinton because he'd be "around"? Plus Sen. Clinton's presence on the ticket basically undercuts Sen. Obama's primary message of "CHANGE" because she constantly harps on her PAST experience and the successful PAST 90's Presidency of Bill Clinton. Plus Obama would essentially have an "Administration in Waiting" down the hall from the Oval Office because she may wish to have second go @ a campaign in 2012 and that may be a problem for an Obama Administration. Lastly, if she can't run a campaign that has does not end up in debt(which I have heard that Obama is helping her out of) how will she be able to aid in running a country successfully?

18,000, 000 x 1.50$ = $ 27,000,000. This is the way you can help her to pay off the debt. 18,000,000 supporters wake up, take actions show her your real support.

Be pround of being within those 18,000,000 people.

Bayh can add his name to other good people in a very strong VP bench.

But I'm still hoping it will be Wes Clark–brilliant, (genuinely) knowledgable on military and foreign affairs, good grasp of economics, a really good team player as well as a leader.

Obama / Clark '08 - John McCain's worst nightmare!

I don't see this happening! Not a good fit and waaaayyyyy too close to the Clintons.

Evan Bayh would be a good choice and it has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. He's a moderate and with foreign policy experience. This would not be a bad choice.

Senator Obama has many fine individuals to pick as his VP...

What about Senator Hagel form Nebraska....the Republican party would be a total wreck!

Enough with Clinton, Barack doesn't need that unqualified junior senator who couldnt even keep a primiary budget balanced as his number 2. He will do just fine without her.

Now that Operation Chaos is over... why is Obama still at about the same place in the polls?

And why do democrats still want HRC?

And why are lifelong democrats leaving the party in protest.

I have been on the democratic registered voter list for 35 years,

NOT anymore....

So be careful before you drive ALL the HRC supporters away.

Biff...

Call the DNC....

They will tell you how many lifelongs have left the party in protest.

You need to admit that more than half of the democrats do not care for Obama. Many may still vote for him out of party loyalty- but to pretend that HRC was not the true choice of MANY democrats is just more foolishness from the Obama people.

Such silly comments are what loses Obama votes. You cause people to turn against Obama because his supporters are so distasteful.

ANOTHER story on the VP pick for Obama. AGAIN, he will make that decision when the time is right. (secretly, I like Biden).

Obama 08

Senator Joe Biden would be a great selection, even if the potential list has hundreds on it for VP. This man knows everything, everybody, and a vast wealth of experience.

Hillary Smillary......I would not pick her.......I like Strickland...in Ohio....or the Virginia guy...........Kat and all you feminist......I have no problem with a woman but Hillary isn't change and we want change.....and we cant pick woman unless it is Hillary according to you all.......so there is no woman to be in the white house this time around........maybe in 8 years

I'm thrilled Obama is the nominee and trust his judgment in the final decision )

He siad he wont say no to it, but he does not want it.
He still hoping for the Clinton/Bayh ticket.

If it is Hillary, I am staying home that day! So, I guess that makes it even!

Biff....

You are wrong.

Dream on.

If that were so, the numbers for Obama would have sky rocketed.

MORE THAN HALF OF THE DEMOCRATS DO NOT WANT OBAMA.

You better start admitting that.

Susan said: "Nope, if it's not Hillary, we will not vote for Obama.

Ha! Like you have any leverage anymore....some threat.
The % of Clinton supporters who will back MccAin is now around 10%, down from 45% just a month ago.
The pressure to have her on the ticket has all but evaporated. I would be fine if he picks her as VP, but he does not have to, that is the point.
He now has the support of 55% of women.
Your leverage on this issue is moot. It is Obama's decision. Sorry, but coming in 2nd does not entitle one to the VP slot.

No Hillary Clinton on the ticket, no vote for Obama from me. Plain and simple.

If Obama loses, I will never vote for Hillary for anything ever again, just to get back at Hitlary supporters who won't vote for Obama. She can't win without his supporters as well.

Bayh has the experience but a tad better is Senator Jim Webb. To those Reagon Democrats who want to jump ship and vote for McCain, the real issue is McCain voted 95% with the present administration's policies. So vote for McCain and get ready for the Real and probable Issues: Iraq (5 years or more) /Afghanistan (not enough soldiers unless the draft is reestablished)/ more corporate bankruptcies/ more home foreclosures/ more housing price reductions/ more unemployment/ more exporting of jobs/ more people who already have money making more money/ more people who don't have money making less money/ less money for education/ less money for college loans etc.

If you wan to win this election Democrats, get Hillary Clinton to be the VP, other wise – I hope you do win come elections Barack Obama, you think you got this covered with out Hillary Clinton, but with some one else, but I say other wise, just look at what people are saying, they are saying that John McCain is better to handle the Iraq situation, so think carefully to whom your going to have as the VP, because when reality hits, ops is not an answer.

Whether you like her or not, the only person who can bring a chunk of voters and fight to take on the Republicans is Hillary. The others only bring good resumes and potential. It all about winning. Can they fight like Hillary???? Kennedy did not like Johnson, but without him he would have lost.

NO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The obama supporters are missing the point.

They did not win the majority of the voters of their own party.

They no longer have the luxury of HATING everyone who doesn't agree with them.

That strategy of hate to force the vote- secured the nomination for Obama but lost the party faithful in droves.

Learn or burn.

I don't know who this guy is. I rather have someone who is well known and has already withstand public scrutiny. Not to say that he would not be a good VP but we can't even consider loosing this due to a scandal from the VP. All in favor .... I

Obama / DeFazio 08
(a person can dream and he has done well for Oregon when given the chance)

A Hillary supporter?

Oh NEVER...

The Obama camp is the divisive camp- always was- and they will bear the blame for destroying the democratic party.

Everyone knows that. Playing the race card against a candidate who has worked for civil right, women's rights, and children's rights her whole life.

No lifelong democrat has EVER defected from the party before.

Now many will do so just to protest the hatred, vitriol and intolerance that has infected our once democratic party. To protest against the way the democrats forgot their ideals of equality and justice and fell prey to their own blind hatred and viciousness.

What is with these people? Let Obama decide. You're either on the list or you're not. There's not an application process.

'Right, Sport' – that's what Bayh told my Prof from Indianapolis while talking about the IU-Kenya AIDS program in Kenya – he didn't care about the program, although it had received wide recognition. The guy is a closet Republican from a Republican state; he's only in power as a Democrat because of his family name. That's not the change Obama wants to hand out to our generation. So, I'll say this to Bayh: Right, Sport.

Wonder Bread for VP? Hope not! This guys name is always bandied about and never picked. Hmmm... wonder why? Oh yeah! He lacks personality as well as a spine.

The Clinton people who say they're going to vote for McCain baffle me! The only rationale I can think of is that they're racist. If you look at policy, Clinton and Obama have so much in common. Clinton and McCain have so little in common. As a longtime Obama supporter there is no way that I wouldn't have voted for Clinton against McCain even though there are things I don't like about her (the vote to authorize the war in Iraq chief among my complaints). Maybe THAT's the reason! These Clinton supporters want a leader who was FOR the Iraq War from the beginning! They think it was a great decision and can't get behind Obama because he opposed it. Oh, yeah.... Now it makes sense.

Hillary alread knows she is not going to be asked to VP – gee, what a surprise – she's so much more the leader than inflated Obama. Obama Chips – the bag is half-full, the rest is all air. Hillary in the White House in '09 – write her in on your November ballot.

To Kat in Huntington: why did you support Hillary? Was it because you agreed with her positions on abortion, taxes, etc. etc.? If so, why would you vote for a third-party candidate, when such a vote would only help put McCain in the White House? Obama and Clinton agreed on 98% of the issues, and McCain disagrees with both of them on 90% of the issues. So your vote was not about issues, but only about personality? What a great way to choose a president!

The Obama people are still so filled with Hillary hate.

And they believe in unity, hope, change.

But NO to anyone who supported Hillary. NO NO NO.

Geez....

You hypocritical haters. Your parents should never have gone along with your adoration for Obama. They caved in to your enthusiastic zeal and NOW they regret it.

I am sure that Senator Obama will make a perfect choice for his VP.
As long as it is not Hillary Clinton I will be happy.

Everyone, lets please just vote on the issues that matter most, The war, The Economy and Energy. Anything outside of that is petty, dumb and just a wate of everyone's time. To all of the Hilary supporters, relax, Hilary can be part of Obama's cabinet and would be able to add tremendous value. In a VP slot, her talents would go to waste, I feel. Please see beyond the fact that she lost the primary and think with your heads. Wake up everyone. Obama all the way.

Were not all ladies.....

Bayh will be a very good choice. He is a moderate, experienced and could help carry a swing State like Indiana. He will attract Clinton's supporters both men and women. It's like buy one, get one free.

I agree with a few of the posts here asking Hillary supporters to give it a rest, already! Don't you people know that MANY of the people voting for Sen. Clinton were "Rush-the-vote" people? To deny that is to truly have your heads in the sand.

Please stop with the threats of voting Green(but only if....) or McCain! What EGOS! Do you really think that party leaders think, "oh no! we have to put Hillary on the ticket or else?!" Dear Lord, stop already.

Whomever Sen. Obama chooses will be the best choice. I support him and trust he will choose wisely.

TO BAYH: DID SOMEONE ASKED? I DON'T THINK SO AND DID SOMEONE VOTED FOR YOU LIKE THEY DID WITH CLINTON?????? I DON'T THINK SO EITHER.

UNITED WE ARE STRONGER

OBAMA (P) & CLINTON (VP) 2008-2014

NO TO MR. BUSH II (MCCAIN), MR. WAR, MR. KILL, MR. NO BRAINS...

Enough with the entitled rulers of America. Anyone in the family business of politics should be excluded from Obama's consideration. We're supposed to be a democracy, not a feudal society.

For you PUMA people:

Unlike you... who do nothing but cry and complain and swear eternal allegiance to Hillary by doing the one thing she would be totally against.. by voting McCain... Obama..... the guy who you all blindly hate, is actually helping her with her debt and doing something useful.

You PUMA people are the most hypocritical bunch of cry baby nutjobs I've ever seen. You don't deserve to be in a voting booth.. you deserve to be on the Jerry Springer show... because that's your level of mentality.

You crazy cat ladies are incredible. HRC is gone, she doesnot have 18 million follwers. They are gone. Many left when she claimed she was shot at by snipers, or said she was always against NAFTA. Or when she NEVER released her tax info, or who contributed to her husbands library (it is said it was almost completely paid for by the Saudi's, why?

She is gone, and hopefully it's for good. It wasn't because of her gender, unless all women lie and say the things I mentioned above.

I just don't understand why people still talking about a defeated candidate. she was democratically beaten by Obama,if she got 18million then how come she didn't win?. That's means he got 20million to win the nomination; end of story.

Fella from Chicago, plz. you must be for mcbush or clinton, how stupid.

I just don't understand why people still taltking about a defeated candidate. she was democratically beaten by Obama,if she got 18million then how come she didn't win?. That's means he got 20million to win the nomination; end of story.

It's Clinton as VP, or I will write her name in the GE.

I really don't care if the Obamabots like it or not. What are they going to do if he picks her, not vote for him?

KAT OF COURSE YOUR FROM WV- Why even vote? A vote for Nader is throwing your vote in a black hole..I see your one of those 3 year olds throwing a tantrum because Hillary lost – -So go vote for another LOSER. Obama will probabaly give Hillary a nice position in the White House so She'll be around. If McCain wins She'll be a senator. So
vote democrat and you'll see more of your idol.

Ladybug- I know you were asking Kenneth, but I do, for one. I don't know where this myth about Obama is coming from. He's a pretty mainline Democrat, economically: basic capitalist system with appropriate safeguards.

I'll bet you would, Evan. Too bad you're NOT on the list....and for good reason. So, forget about it.

I take the vp job also. I bet there are lots of Republicans that would also love to be Obama's second. Why not, high pay, easy work, get out of jail free card, after 4 years you are setup with a "golden parachute"

You people wanting Hillary on the ticket... think about it. Wouldn't you rather have her in position that really matters. Secretary of State would be perfect for her. Condi Rice does a hell of a lot more than Cheyney. And as Sec. of State.. it would be a lot easier for her to run against Obama if she wanted to in 2012. If she's the VP.. it would be like mutiny to run against Obama.. especially if he does a good job.

Bayh is okay, but he is no Jim Webb!

My entire family will not vote for Obama if Hillary is not on the ticket. If you don't have vision to respect 18 Millions Americans then you don't deserve to be the president.

Oh Hillary! If only you had used your message of the last month of the primaries instead of that mess you started off with. I (Republican Vet) would have actually voted for you and I would certainly have wanted you as VP.

But to make it all better, here's all you have to do. DIVORCE BILL! No woman, should have to live with the public humiliation that your husband caused you in the White House. Nor should she have to deal with the fact that your "husband" may have single handedly caused you to lose the primary. Divorce him and not only will I support you as VP, but I will agressively support and campaign for you in 2016 (That is unless Colin Powell runs, I am still a republican).

It's Clinton or loseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Only HRC for me as well! We need some experience on the ticket!

IF anyone ever says the media is not bias toward one candidate or the other. Look at all the headlines on the CNN ticker. Clearly a majority of the headlines are "OBAMA"

On another note...Obama should chose a running mate with a bigger name....however NOT Hillary.

CNN: clinton national news n etwork,
DOES CNN HAVE PICTURES OF OTHER SENATORS WHERE CLINTONS ARE NOT IN??

CNN LOVES THE KINE AND QUEEN
PLEASE I AM SO SICK OF THIS WOMAN
EVEN SO
THANKS TO HER AND HER DIRTY HUSBAND, WE GET THE MCBUSH AGAIN..

but we can not stand her..

even so we voted for her in the PA and other states.. we can not and I REPEAT WE CAN NOT STAND HER..

Since Obama could not even carry more than 50% of his own liberal party... how can he claim to be a uniter?

Since he barely leads, McCain (a republican no one- even Republicans don't want) How can Obama claim any crossover appeal?

See, newbies? How spin has nothing to do with reality?

Obama packed the rallies... yet that did not translate into actual votes for him or he would have swept the democratic primary. Instead the supers had to drag him across the finish line.

And that was with the help of Oprah, the rock icons, the black pundits, the biased media, the DNC, the discounted votes, and the RACE CARD.

Some strong candidate, this Obama is.

This is the election when no Democrat can lose, right? Everyone hates Bush. McCain is a weak, old opponent. Everyone is eager for change.

Yet Obama is just not making a big showing is he. Why not? Was it all propaganda after all? A myth fueled by the media?

How can this be a close race? It was a shoe in for a democrat.

Now- after Obama and his tricks- The Dems need someone who can actually save the party. Obama the uniter did not even appeal to the majority of DEMOCRATS. And his crossover appeal was apparently just another of the Obama boasts.

The adults turned the reins over to their children and grandchildren (the kennedys and the Carters)- they were so taken and persualded by the way the young fawned over Obama... that they forgot to use common sense and good judgement.

Now we have a limping Democratic nominee... when all the buzz was that this is the year that NO republican- least of all McCain – can win.

And NO democrat can lose.

Then why is Obama even or only slightly leading?

ANSWER: The DNC installed the one and ONLY democrat who can lose this election.

GOOD WORK GUYS (AND TREACHEROUS GALS).

Bayh isn't a bad choice, but there are better ones. (Plus, that would cost a senate seat.) I think the best choice is General Wesley Clark. He so nicely would complete the resume of the Democrat's ticket ... a decorated General ... former supreme commander of NATO ... successfully managed the Bosnia war effort (and, I believe, the aftermath) ... smart ... articulate ... and from the South. i have heard him speak on foreign policy and the Middle East in particular, and he has an excellent understanding and grasp of the issues in the most critical parts of the world. And he was a Clinton supporter. The choice of a former Military leader would diminish one of McCain's strengths.

Isn't the 2nd spot for the Presidency logically for the person that came so close (neck to neck) for the nomination ? I find it very disturbing that the VP job is being bandied about as if others are more deserving and capable than Hillary. We know that there is none more deserving and capable to be President but since this is not to be, isn't it divisive and insulting for us 18 Million Hillary supporters to be discarded once again ?? If Hillary is not on the ticket, my vote is not for Obama. Plain and simple.

Hey Kat,
I want my wife and sisters and aunts to all be paid the same as any man if they're doing the same job.

Since Senator McCain voted AGAINST the Fair Pay Act, I'll vote against him.

By the way, Senator Obama is for this.

WIth his credentials, especially if he's strong enough on Foreign Policy, this would be a good looking ticket in every way imaginable.

How can the candidate of "change" even consider a Washington insider??

How do we even know if any of this article is true? the media and journalist have lost their integrity, communism is just a vote away! I urged all my family and friends to tune out the media and research for themselves, Does no one have any morals? maybe when you find your children or family,friends, suffering, will you all show some guts! and stop this nightmare!!!! I wont hold my breath...

Let the back-stabbing begin. WHere is the loyalty to Senator Clinton??

I really respect and admire Joe Biden and think he would be an excellent choice for VP; however, Hillary brought forth 18,000,000 voters and believe Hillary is still the best choice. Furthermore, Hillary as VP would heal the Democratic party and make us stronger for a landslide win in November.

While Hagel sounds like a good choice at first blush, think about it. if anything (heaven forbid) were to happen to Obama - we'd end up with a Republican president.

I don't think so!

Frankly, I like the idea of Bob Graham. Former Florida governor, former Florida senator reknowned for his expertise on military and foreign affairs, one of the 27 senators who voted AGAINST the Iraq war in 2002 ... Sounds good to me!

GOOD WORK GUYS (AND TREACHEROUS GALS).

I’m so tired of hearing about these 18 million voters. My choice was Edwards, so should I threaten to sit home or vote for somebody else if he’s not on the ticket? The Clinton’s have too much baggage. Just because the Republicans haven’t made an issue of it….yet, doesn’t mean they won’t if she’s chosen for the VP slot.

I don’t know a thing about Bayh, but I’ve heard all good things, so if he’s picked that’s fine with me. Besides, nobody votes based on who the VP is.

Obama"s worst choice for VP would be Hillary ..........can you imagine how crowded the Oval Office would be with all those Clintons hanging around ???

Hey people still bitter about Hillary. WAKE UP! If you like body bags and our piling national debt then vote for McCain otherwise put your resentment aside. Listen to Hillary's endorsement. OBAMA '08

I think that Bayh is a great choice. Here's why:

- Bayh was an ardent Clinton supporter, and would bring many of Clinton's former supporters on board Obama's train (plus, Bayh could legitimately take credit for pushing Clinton over the top in Indiana since it was so incredibly close)

- Bayh is a political moderate (which would be a great balance for Obama, who is perceived by many as being very liberal)

- Bayh served as Governor of Indiana from 1989 to 1997, and has been a Senator since he left the State House. What does that mean? Bayh has experience managing AND legislating. Bayh undoubtedly fills Obama's experience gap.

- Finally, Bayh has been a highly visible and highly popular public figure in the State of Indiana. Take a look at the latest poll averages from Indiana:

Real Clear Politics (Indiana average):
Obama – 47.0%
McCain – 46.5%
[http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/in/indiana_mccain_vs_obama-604.html]

Pollster.com (Indiana average)
Obama – 48%
McCain – 47%
[http://www.pollster.com/08-IN-Pres-GE-MvO.php]

With those numbers in mind, Obama's choice of Bayh would certainly turn Indiana blue for the first time since 1964.

When I saw this I was hoping that it was Wesley Clark...

Kat,

Get over it. please. Go ahead-vote for the green party despite what Hillary Clinton says. This is not a trivial thing. The election is about very important issues, not your hurt feelings. Suck it up and vote on the issues, nothing you do now can change the nominee or who they pick as their running mate. If the roles were reversed, how would you feel abut somebody voting McCain (dangerous) or Green (stupid) just because they were pouting. Are you really still so angry that you would cut off your nose to spite your face? Attitudes like your are the reason we have old sayings like these.
It just boils down to what is more important to you- your values or your hurt feelings.

The Dems need someone who can actually save the party.

GOOD WORK GUYS (AND TREACHEROUS GALS).

Huntington, WV, you sound so ignorant! It's his choice not Hillary's to pick his VP. If you don't vote for Obama, you'll leave the Republicans in the White House..sounds like you're one of those WV racist to say something so ignorant. YES, whether you like it or not is it verrrry possible that a "Black Man" will be your next President! So get over the crap!

It's Time For Real Change! Obama08

He should pick the best fit for him, I am so tired of all of Hillarys people saying what he can't do with out her, He's gotten this far with out her and from the looks of it she needs him right now because all of her die hard fans that would not vote for Obama with out her on the ticket don't love her enough to send her some money to PAY her debt, if she means that much to you pay it, do you not have any shame that you all can't even come together to pay her debt but you don't mind if she ask the man that you all HATE so bad.

Actually Kat, you're wrong. As evidenced in the polls and interviews, MOST Hill supporters will do the right thing and vote for their best interests. Thats if they were supporting Clinton for her policies. Anyway, Bayh would be a good choice if he can carry Indiana. I've heard he's not that interesting or charismatic but we'll see......

Those Democrats who would vote for McCain over Obama: Why not write-in Hillary Clinton?

I believe senator Evan Bayh should be president of United States not vice president. I hope he is president someday. He is a very succesful governor who is fiscally conservative, understands the economy very well. A centrist like president Bill Clinton who can bring economic prosperity but would not suit the left who controls the primary.
In my opinion he is a far better choice than Obama, but ironically Obama gets to choose.

If Obama picked Hagel, he might as well tell the women vote that he won't be supporting a pro choice agenda. Hagel is a committed anti-choice voter and always has been. Obama used to always vote present in the Illinois Senate on choice legislation. Maybe he is not pro-choice after all.

***********************************

EVERYBODY WANTS IN. AMAZING.

Inconsequential! Disgusted Democrats, Conservatives, and Independents will give the victory to John McCain.!

Obama needs an adult on the ticket. I like Bayh but he won't change my vote. Course Obama needs Indiana.

It's a hard decision in voting this year. I voted for HIllary, and regretted it now. So please don't include me in the 18million people. Yeah, I thought she could do something for the country. As time progress, she can't even win the primary, in big debt, and whines to much. I've never seen any other candidate whines as much as her, it's unprofessional and surely un-presidential.

Obama has little experience, and will increase taxes, and go back on his word just like any other candidate. John McCain may have experience but is war hungry. So what are the real choices? Barack or McCain? That's a hard decision, i'm glad it's not Hillary at least.

Bayh would not be a good choice. Clinton would be a good choice.

Obama is ahead 8 points against McCain, and some would have you belive that this is happening with out the support of 18 million people. It's a bad Repug joke people – don't by another lie.

Us Democrats don't take kindly to threats whether issued by GOP or
immature Hillary supporters. You are just not important in the larger scheme of things. Unpack your bags. Your power trip is over.

We, Poor Uneducated Miserable Adults (PUMA) are strongly against!!!!!! WE wILl VoTe fOr mCsHAme "not just to prove the point, but to make a point that..."

H E A R pumas S Q U E A K!!

))))))

"only one person is capable of bringing in 18 million voters and that's Hillary Clinton!"

minus however many were Operation Chaos Republicans

minus however many will vote for Obama with or without Hillary (most)

minus however many are offset by additional Clinton-hating Republicans turning out to vote for McSame

Let's put Hillary in a useful position, not waste her talents and power in the VP spot. Secretary of Health & Human Services? Secretary of State? I don't understand why so many of her supporters would want her in a role which is little more than a title (VP).

Why wont all of the clinton or mccain supporters donate a dollar each to campaign to help with her debt. How did she get 22 MILLION dollars in debt....not a good sign

Kenneth,

Do you HONESTLY think that obama will do anything but swerve so far to the left that we won't ever know what it means to be a capitalist society when he's done?

Hillary dose not bring 18 million...maybe 1 million that are too blind to realize they are stubborn sore losers. the other 17 million are going to vote their party, conscious, and issues without their bitterness of loss attached.

Indiana probably is a red state again anyways. Nunn or someone from the South, Pennsylvania, Ohio would be a better choice.

Both Senators Biden and Bayh would make good choices as VP. Can we change the Presidential choice.

Except for having to endorse the Obama.

Who wants to align themselves with this hypocrit who destroyed his party in one election cycle of hate?

I am sooo very done with the democratic party.

Is there anyone of you who wouldn't take the V.P. spot if asked, I don't think so. The only logical excuses anyone could give for no, is because they are not being asked and secondly, not qualified. So that automatically disqualies myself along with millions of others. Vote Obama.

Nope, if it's not Hillary, we will not vote for Obama.

I love the way people line up for a job that no one is asking them to take.

Bayh is my senator and I say no thanks. He is a DLC democrat and is closer to a republican than a democrat. He is a follower not a leader. Hell No!!! No Bayh

The thing is, more people will vote against Obama if he chooses Hillary as his running mate than will vote for him if he does.

Mrs. Clinton is yesterday's news, and the vast majority of those "18 million" who favored her over Obama in the primaries will favor Obama over the right-wing Republican McCain.

We all know that, whether you personally choose to admit it or not.

Chuck Todd! Chuck Todd! Chuck Todd!

Fully support Obama. I do want to hear a bit about who McCain's possibilities are and if any one has said they are interested. Surely someone has said they would serve for him, or haven't they? (Honestly haven't heard one yet).

Democrats – United We Stand!!!

No comment!!

My family is and has been DEMOCRAT. We will be voting for McCain. Evan doesn't want to offend obama/oprah by saying no, but he does not want to be a loser. McCain 08 H. Clinton 12

Recent polls suggest only about 10% of Hillary supporters wouldn't vote for Obama. Expect to see that number drop even more in the coming weeks.

With that said, I think Bayh would make a good choice. He may be a "Washington insider" being a Senator, but in a lot of ways he's a blank slate for most people outside of Indiana and would be in keeping with Obama's message of change.

Anybody and everybody will say YES....I hear the VP pension plan is good enough to retire on..

Hillary is the only choice.

I second somebody's nomination of Hillary Clinton for VP. I am an ardent supporter of Obama but I think it's time to acknowledge the strengths and support that Hillary brings with her. It's time for an Obama-Clinton ticket and all siblings of the Democratic Party (Notice how I did not say the weaselly insulting "Democrat Party" that weaselly republicans use!) should stop their familial bickerings and come together!

Obama-Clinton08!!!!

Obama would only hurt himself if he does not choose Hillary

With Hillary as VP candidate the democrats would be unstoppable.

We need to wake up and realize that the republicans can only do us more harm if they remain in office !

Obama/ Clinton 08

we are united Democrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will not support Obama without Hillary either!!!!

Kat, Huntington,
West Virginia

It really does not matter, whether you vote for Nader. Once you refuse to vote for Barack, you are in fact voting for McCain. I hope that you are prepared to live with your decision, to throw your Country under the bus, to leave a legacy of chaos for future generations!

By the way, don't even suggest, that you will be voting Hillary into the White House in 2012, because that will NEVER HAPPEN, if through you own spite, and others like you, (God Help America) Sen. Obama should lose the General Election in November. Barack's more that 18 million supporters will stay home!

We will not vote for Michelle and Obama, Noooooooooooooooooooo; Mcain this time and Hillary on 2012
Democrat, please vote McCain or stay home, Obama will be the big mistake for our country

HEY, GUESS WHAT!!! OBAMA DOESN'T NEED ANY OF THE HILLARY PEOPLE. HAVE YOU SEEN THE LATEST POLLS. HE IS HEADED TO A LANDSLIDE VICTORY WITHOUT ANY HILLARY TRAITORS!!

obama will win
obama/richardson

TO KAT, HUNTINGTON, WV: This "either Hillary or I'm voting for McCain or somebody else" is becoming old and tired. We've heard you, the horse is dead...stop beating him!!! Let McCain win and you'll see how much you'll regret your actions.

Obama Bayh 08' – doesn't have the right ring to it. I agree that Hagel would be his best choice to show voters he really is bipartisan but what if something happens to Obama then we get another (although brilliant) republican in office.

McCain would be smart to pick a woman.

Dont waste your time Evan, you are better than that.

We will win this election without the help of the Clintons. Hillary go home and bake more cookies, I'm hungry.

McCain 08

Why not Wesley Clark or Jim Webb? McBush would not have much to say about inexperience, since either one is more experienced and more knowledge that McCan't/McShame/McBush.

Good choice.

I don't know Bayh. But what would be the point? It's like marrying an old friend of your mom's, just to win a cruise. The cruise might be nice, but then you've got that marriage to deal with.

Obama should select someone who'd make a good partner in the White House, not just the campaign trail. I like Richardson.

As for Kat in Huntington: Obama has a chance to break down a barrier that has prevented anyone but a white male from becoming President. Are you sure you don't want to see that barrier broken?

Pick me!

Pick me!

Pick me!

And I promise to waterboard President Cheney and his little yapper doggie bush slowly and daily...

And I'd support Hillary too, if Obama chooses her. Again, a lot of good choices here. The Democrats have built up a much better stable of capable leaders than the Republicans have lately, hence my own switch.

It is becomming apparent to the many potential VP candidates that all indications are that Obama is going to win "big" in November which is why the pool of dems that want the VP job is growng. If the Obama camp continues to register voters in the swing states that typically have not voted in past elections (especially n the African American community) the election will not be close.

Many Clinton supporters won't vote for Obama – really? The polls are showing the opposite. However, don't worry, we don't expect Obama to carry West Virgina.

Now back to the discussion... no on Bayh. The only thing he has going for him is that he's a son of a former politican, I "guess" he's goodlooking and he's from Indiana; other than that, he doesn't bring much to the ticket and he reminds me of Dan Quayle – I'm just not impressed. There are other people who were in the Clinton camp better suited for the VP spot.

WHY HAS CNN IGNORE THE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE BLACK'S COMMENT REGARDS TO TERROR ON AMERICAN SOIL WHEN THEY COVERED REV WRIGHT FOR A MONTH STRAIGHT.

STOP PROVING TO US THE MEDIA HAVE A VIP SEAT ON THE McWAR EXPRESS.

AND I HOPE I DONT HEAR ANYTHING ELSE ON DODSON

I think Obama could choose Mickey Mouse!!! The Repug brand is dog doo!!!

Bayh would be a great choice. I've been watching him for a while now and was surprised he didn't throw his own hat in the ring for President. I also like Chuck Hagel (he reminds me that not all Republicans have gone off the deep end), but Obama has several good choices here, including Biden and Richardson.

Upon second thought, this wouldn't be a bad choice!

Bayh guarantees the following states:

IN, OH-MO-MI (neighbors), maybe even NC and VA.

HRC brings NY and PA, but those are already in the bank.

I think Bayh brings more states than either Nunn, Rendell or Strickland.

What do you guys think?

Partisan stuff aside, I just hope that whoever ends up in the White House does good overall. But no one can be a better VP and ultimately hopefully the President than Senator Biden.

who wouldnt want to be vp,for the greatest president ever!

Wow, listen to the Obama supporters.

"Not only do we hate Hillary, but anyone that supported Hillary will never be considered for V.P. - ever!"

And you thought Hillary was divisive.

Obama will need to see who Hamas will endorse before he makes a decision. Obama doesn't want to lose that endorsement.

You're not even on the list ................ Bayh .. Stop looking for Attention ..

If you based it on appearances alone, what a dream team!

Well, at least he is being polite about it I have to give him credit for that-there is no reason to be nasty but the truth is-there are far more qualified people for the job. Thanks for being up front but responsible.

Bayh won't be VP. and Hillary won't either.

Obama has time...no need to rush the VP choice...its good practice to allow speculators to discuss the possibilities...allow the American people the weigh in as well.

On a separate note...as much as Nader has brought up significant issues as it relates to not only African Americans but ALL Americans that are struggling financially. Where the hell is Nader all year long (or the last 8 years)? Is he out there seeking the same kind of media coverage all year long...what has he done on these issues that he has brought to the attention of American people during this election year? Nader needs to back off and shut if off. He's like ground hog day every election year he sticks his head out of the ground and we're told to expect more winter.

Clinton or bust.

IMO, Jim Webb is the best candidate for VP.

Didn't he support Clinton? I don't like his tone. I want someone who enthusiastically wants to be on the ticket with Barack. These people sound like they're going off to war–I'll do it for my country. Give me a break. I don't want any VP lurking around Barack, just waiting for something to happen.

I wanted Edwards, but he doesn't sound as if he wants the job either. My advice to Barack is to take his time and select someone who supports him whole-heartedly. Of course that leaves Hillary out.

I'd say bye-bye to Bayh, if I were Barack.

The two best picks for Obama are Jim Webb and Sam Nunn, which Joe Biden coming in third.

He does not need Clinton to attract voters, despite what the Puma Patrol posters would have you believe.

He needs a VP with foreign policy experience – that is Obama's only weak spot, and a VP with that kind of experience would put Obama over the top.

YES! This is who Obama should pick. A midwesterner, with executive experience and a former Clinton supporter. This will help to draw Clinton supporters, ease concerns over Obama's lack of experience, and help to deliver a part of the map that is low in AA population and seems to be being overlooked in his strategy. Every state arround Illinois is still up for grabs. Bayh can put Indiana into play, and help in Big Ten Country (i.e. Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri) The midwest will fall like dominos and Bayh is the push Obama needs. Georgia, NC, Virginia are going to be won by registering AA and young people. But, Obama needs to tweek his image and message to win the whole midwest, but it can be easily done by running with Bayh!

He is weak like Biden, Richardson, and Nunn.

PLEASE WITH THE HILLARY THREATS....

GEEZ. ALREADY....

OH.. AND THE RECITATION OF HER STATS... (18 million.. blah blah.. popular vote, blah blah...)

she lost... a good percentage that 'so called' 18 mil were operation chaos voters... PLEASE ADMIT THAT... and that popular vote thing... with the "special" math, made up on the short bus.....

were it not for chaos voters... Obama wins Indiana, and wins not only the Texas caucus, but the Texas PRIMARY as well.....

It should not matter who obama picks for his running mate .The country wants change and Obama represents change.

Please no!!! But I wouldn't be surprise. Obama is making stupid decision lately like the seal and hiring Patti Solis Doyle who is incompetent.

Why not Jackson Lee of Texas while Obama is at it. She is a staunch supporter of Clinton as well.

Heck, I'd say Ok to VP, and I'm driven carzy by Republicans.

Anyone but Hillary!

=========== bayh is an idiot, no wonder he was for clintons.======

Tony the Tiger could be the V.P on the ticket and the guy would still win. When you're born with three 6's on your head there's no losing the election.

Way to go, Bayh bring lots of skill sets and particularly Indianna to the table.
With this ticker watch out for McSame to come out with a new gimmick, and her it goes – $150 for all people of Indianna for 3 months.

OBAMA – BAYH Hurray!!!!

Bayh would be a good choice, but certainly Clinton would be the better one to make.

Bayh would be a good choice but unless Obama picks Hillary he will not win. Over 50% of all Democrats voted for her and many will not support him unless she is on the ticket...including me. For the first time ever I will vote for the Green Party (as long as they don't choose Nader).

I'LL TAKE A BYE ON BAYH. HE LANCED AT OBAMA DURING THE PRIMARY. OBAMA SHOULD GO WITH HAGEL. THIS WAY HE COULD BRING EVEN THE GOP KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO THE MIDDLE.

I think in part they are doing this because dem leaders are irritated that Rendell said he wouldn't serve if asked. Whether true or not, no point in saying it and contributing to the divisions...

I think this is maybe just a bit of backlash.

It will be interesting to see who he picks. I don't have an opinion on Evan Bayh, but he does have a good resume. The only problem with that is it means he's an entrenched politician. If you go that way, I'm in favor of Joe Biden.

But I'd REALLY love to see what would happen if Obama goes TRULY out of the norm and chooses someone like Chuck Hagel.

THAT would send a message of change, wouldn't it?

Oh whatevah, Evan.

May as well put all the names out there, however, only one person is capable of bringing in 18 million voters and that's Hillary Clinton!

Doesn't matter, Obama wasn't gonna pick you anyway.
