Obama is a fool for not choosing Hillary or Joe Biden. Too many still pi**ed off at him regarding Hillary and from the people I personally know who say they will not vote for him if Hillary is not the V.P. mean what they say. I've known most of them to sit out an election before. This time is too important because whomever the next president is they will more than likely get to appoint as many as 3 justices to the Supreme Court ........................and it would be terrifying and devastating to the country if that person were to be John "McBush" McCain.

We argue policy and morals, we speculate on future oil prices and the economy. We complain about illegal immigration and taxes. What everyone MUST realize is that it doesn't matter who is president next- AMERICA IS LOST!!! Our major corperations are owned by foreign investors, our unions are broken (thank you Pres. Reagan), our debt is owned by China (and other countires that don't like us) Some day real soon America won't be America anymore- the foriegn investors will own us AND THEY WILL COME TO TAKE POSSITION of their property. Then they will tell us what our laws will be. Think I'm wrong- do some checking for yourself. find out who owns the big employers in our nation (Budwieser just sold out, DICK Chenney moved Halliburton to Dubi) and who is loaning us money (China, France, Dubi). Tell your kids to learn to speek Chineese- they will own us soon. And our "law makers" aren't doing anything about it.

Everybody with any political experience knows it's the epitome of bad manners to look like you're campaigning for the VP slot. Potential running mates have to be coy, and should be coy, about the VP job even if a deal has been sealed behind closed doors. It is the nominee's show and his decision who, when and how - NOT the potential running mate's. Only Mitt Romney doesn't know or care about the dance. Look out for more of the same, because for anyone serious about the position it is an unanswerable question. Enough already!

If they are chosen, then they can do the beauty pagent surprise look, as if they're shocked and had not expected it but are oh-so grateful to be chosen.

But, I've never really heard what Evan Bayh's foreign policy credentials are. Let's face it, anyone who is picked as Obama's running mate is going to need some serious foreign policy credentials. And it wouldn't hurt if they could help deliver one of those "purple" states. In that regard, Nunn looks very good on paper. Plus, he brings a certain gravitas to the ticket. But is he well-suited to the "attack dog" role generally relegated to the VP candidate?

I'll tell you what the reality of the situation is; she lost, he won, now on to the convention. Some of you will tout any reason not to vote for Obama and the reasons are all very... well weak. Over and over again all of these ideas have been debunked yet, for some reason you refuse to see facts. Ironically, you say that his supporters are like robots and blind worshippers. You don't have to like him (no one cares), you don't have to like his wife (no one cares), but what you do have to do is make an informed decision which seems like you gave up on long ago.

No one cares if you vote for McCain because you've made it obvious over and over again on these completely inaccurate and ignorant comments some of you make over and over again (yet, never saying anything substantive, just bigoted and derrogatory). I would suggest Obama choose whomever HE wants as his VP, not who a bunch of whining "supporters" try to force on him. If anyone failed Hillary more than the media, more than her campaign, it was herself and her husband who felt it was ok to drag Obama through all of the contests for almost a year and a half, even though she knew since... at least march she could not catch him in contests or pledged delegates.

Sorry Obama, choose correctly. The funny thing though is that many are trying to say that if Obama loses the Presidency, it will be Hillary's fault for running as long as she did and the campaign that was run. It was a primary, a fair primary and she did nothing wrong. No one focused on Obama promising being a different kind of Politician, but was mischevious in his Senatorial elections- BIG HYPOCRITE! They just want someone to blame if they don't win, and it wont be McCain, it will be Hillary.

The whle premise behind your "movement" is the so called disrespect of your candidate. I was a Hillary supporter but once she said that she was in Camp Obama, I switched because those were my candidates wishes. Hillary and Bill did a lot to hurt her chances themselves--this does not squarely rest on BHO's shoulders. HRC still won primaries in various states. Conversely, BHO did a lot to hurt himself in the primaries yet he still primaries and that was due to the fact that people got to VOTE for the person that they felt best represented their interests. If you would take your interests into mind as to your radical fanaticism, you would clearly vote for BHO. When people said that he hasn't relayed substantive matters, he has been on tour for MONTHS talking about various issues so that you will get to know what he stands for more intimately and yet you still criticize him for it. Grow up. Personally, I think that he will pick Bayh because of the "picture perfect families" with their kids (Bayh's boys with Obama's girls), it placates to Hillary supporters (Bayh being a former supporter) and the Midwest will be up for play. You PUMA nut jobs that aren't trying to get a Dem in office should be and more importantly should be pushing for HRC on the SC where she could have far more impact then she ever could as president.
