People who are trying to find problems with Obama are the same ones that worked hard to find issues with Kerry. They are only trying to find a good excuse to vote for who they want, it does not matter how bad this person will be to America. Just look to what Bush did to America. And yet again it seems some people just did not have enough.... Go ahead vote McCain but do not try to find excuses to justify your bad judgment when things go wrong.

I highly, highly doubt Obama will tap McCaskill. What does she offer the ticket? He needs to either pick Clinton, someone with a lot of foreign affairs/military experience or someone who represents a major swing state (FL, OH or PA). I don't think McCaskill qualifies as any of those. And I agree that if he is going to pick a woman, he should pick Hillary.

Anyway, when are these selections being made already? Kerry picked Edwards in early July. Sick of the rampant speculation. It's practically August, only 3 months left until the general election. Put up already candidates!!

He didn't vote for M.L. King holiday also, so what new for Johnny come lately?

The only Dem that truly meant he or she is not interested in being Obama's VP is Al Gore.

No8ama / No Mc Caskill

I really don't see where you are coming rom bitter Clinton supporters. I know that Senator Clinton was the favorite, but Senator Obama won fair and square. Florida and Michigan violated the rules, but eventually got seated. If you support Clinton, how on Earth could you make the drastic change to supporting John McCain. Follow your candidate! If you really support her, you will do what she says and support the candidate she endorses. Really wake up American voters, and please support Senator Obama. Oh, and there is nothing wrong with Senator McCaskill. She is a great person. All of you are being so democrat-bashing, I'm not even sure ifyou're really democrats!

McCaskill has still to prove her credentials. She does not have. I believe she was jealous and insecure of Hillary.

She is disgusting just like Nancy Pelosi. Have you ever listen to her on the Senate floor on C-Span – really bad. Plus I agree with the previous comments about her honesty. I know at least two occasions she was not completely honest about her comments concerning Senator Obama.

I'm glad to see she's interested because I like MCCaskill. She seems like she has a firm understanding of all the issues and has been an excellent advocate for Obama in the interviews with her that I have seen. I can't say I'm a McCaskill expert being that I'm from NY but from what I've seen she seems like a good choice although I'm aware she is a long shot.

We welcome you aboard, and if Obama choses you as his running mate I support you all the way.

McCaskill - ANOTHER Obama phony with a direct link to the Almighty? Now THIS one proclaims to actually have the ability to read others' minds. Just can't fathom that some people simply don't buy Obama's bull and would rather stay away - eh?

Who wouldn't want to be the running mate of the next "John F. Kennedy?" Obama will go down forever in history for a lot of reasons, mostly because he's extraordinary and brilliant. This is anyone's chance to go down in history too if they're selected as a vice president...

She betrayed HIllary and having this lady as VP will only anger the HIllary Supporters even more. Watch your step Obama, you are overly confident this presidential election is yours. The bigger your ego getts the harder it will be for you if you lose!.

Yeah, you are right because I know no bigger hypocrites than the Clintons and John McSame. Not only are they hypocrites but they are liers.

I would never support a woman or a man that gets to out right lie and then get to name it mispeaking. I would never vote for an old man that say that the surge alone has decreased violence in Iraq. And futhermore, that old geeser can't get the geography of that area right. What a dip stick.

Senator McCaskill needs to wake up and see that if Obama doesn't pick Hillary Clinton, people will not vote for him. More people voted for her in the primary, superdelegates and the bias media ruined it for her! I look to see Hillary become our President in 2012! Anyway, why should Hillary take the number 2 spot? Why are Obama supporters wanting her to work hard to get her supporters to like him, look how he treated her in the primary, she owes nothing to Obama! America had their chance on a caring person who really wants to make a difference, and they instead chose a snob. I am a Democrat and I am only supporting Obama because Hillary told me too! I can't say the same for the others though!

McCaskill is more a neophyte than Obama. Her insight into the world of political strategy is worthless. Many have flatly said "no" to being on the ticket, and those answers would be difficult to explain away later if one of them were to suddenly take the spot on an Obama ticket. Not to mention what joinging such a losing ticket would do for that politician's career...

In a Rasmussen telephone survey taken 07/15 Obama Leads Bush by twenty, but Clinton does better against McCain.
The numbers help explain why Election 2008 is so competitive even though political climate heavily favours the Democrats – because the Republicans are on course to nominate their strongest possible general election candidate but the Democrats are NOT.
More importantly the data suggests that voters don't see a potential McCain Administration as the third term of President Bush.

It is obvious that the DNC has chosen their weakest candidate
The political process MUST be transparent.
The primaries WERE NOT.
BHO can have the tooth fairy as his VP and she won't get him over the line

Obama/Edwards 2008!

WHOOPS!

Anyone seen the Clintons?

October suprise!

You Hillary supporters that now supports McSane are idiots. You are dumb people and bigots

Who cares? As long it's not Hillary on the tail end of that losing campaign.

McCain '08 Clinton '12

Who?

Don't choose her Barack ... no name recognition.

Why is CNN choosing not to report the story of John Edwards being caught an LA Hotel visiting another women in the early morning hours?

She's a LOSER with a capital L.

I am from MO and I know her skeletons. She's disappointed me BIG TIME. A little jealous of Hillary and think she can move right on in.

Go away Claire and take Obama boy with you!!!

So all you experts sitting there denouncing McCaSkill, can you explicitly saw WHY you think she lacks values and integrity and honesty?

Back up your accusations with facts.

obama you are NOT qualified – but – you sure are Arrogant!
You are an arrogant, Radical FRAUD. I will not vote for you – and Millions of Americans feel the same way.
Last week it was your circus trip – all staged to perfection for the media – next week your VP pick – Who Cares – the AMERICAN people are sick of you.

I think McCaskill is a lot more honest than Clinton is.If Obama wants a female on the ticket, she would be the best choice. Mccaskill and Romney in the Vice presidential debate. She would make Romney look silly. Can anyone be more specific on how she lacks honesty or integrity.

Clinton supporters need to get over it because they is no way she could have won the general election, so please stop crying about it.

Nothing like more arrogant, inexperienced rookies in the Democratic Party. If the junior Senator really wants to call her Democratic colleagues liars, she should do so in private on not on national television.

I am so sick of these rookie Dems acting like they know everything – its enought to make you sick.

Jerry, Florida July 27th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

"Though Senator Clinton would have been, and is the best candidate for the presidency of the US."

Being a doctor's wife doesn't make you a doctor. You need not vote for him, which you will not do anyway, but at least give credit to Obama for running a phenomenal campaign. He is an American, and at least half white.

it is amazing to me how these supporters of HRC are so rabid in their support of her that they would even threaten a support of john mccain. those of us who support obama and can see his faults as well as the good are thinking of who would lead the country after the last horrible eight years and seeing the smart, methodical, fiscally responsible and steady as she goes way he has managed his campaign, well he is the man for us. every country get the government they deserve and we certainly deserve better that what the republicans have dished out. do not be deceived into thinking hillary can come back in four years, whatever the outcome in november 2008. something happened in washington d.c. when she started her campaign with a maximum of all the superdelegates she would ever get and ended up with defections. these people knew something we were not told and the 25 million in debt her campaign is in right now, tells us what we already knew: for all her brilliance, she cannot manage anything. she will be always admired by me but i did not want her as my president. We can't afford to fall in love this time and shoot ourselves in the foot!!! Whoever the dem. nominee is gets my vote, even if it is ultimately donald duck!!!!

McCaskill isnt the VP

slow pickins' this political season. how much greenhouse gas did BO emit during his trip? I'll be tons ! ! ! as much a hypocrite as gore. funny !

It seems I can't get my comments posted by the friendly Obama CNN.

This woman is repulsive. She spent more time campaigning for Obama than just about anyone and neglected her duties in which we the people of MO voted her in to do.

She's also on our hit list – her days are numbered as a Senator.

Doing everything we can to STOP the MADNESS.
NOBAMA, NEVER
McCain '08 for Clinton '12

McCaskill is open and honest. You gotta love it!

I admire her honesty. I'd love to see another woman in a positive leadership position. Just NEVER Hillary!!!

Barack will make the best decision for the country he and I love and I will be pleased on whoever his choice to be second in command will be..!

I stand with Barack ........

as for puma.... well read below..

PUMA = Punishment Under McCain Administration

Claire McCaskill is a wonderful lady. However, I think Senator
Biden would be the best VP for Barack Obama. He is older,
but not too old (like McWhiner). He is smart, tall and attractive
(like Obama). Americans respect and admire Senator Biden.

Jerry, Florida – I agree with you 100%.

god.. this would make the last 8 years look almost good. come one she is as ready to be vp as he is to be the prez. Come on all Hillary supporter lets use our vote to insure this never happens.. vote for Mccain. and then in 4 years we get our girl back

VP McCaskill would make a Clinton supporter's blood boil.

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

McCaskil is being very honest, all those who say they wont take the VP job are not being honest, everyone of them will take it,

Okay, tell me what McCaskill did that was dishonest and lacked integrity as compared to Hillary because I'm chomping at the bit to blow you feminists out of the water. Go on, tell me what she's done! And for a "rookie" senator, Obama's blowing all the "experienced" senators out of the water..how can THAT be? Hmmm? experienced doesn't mean common sense, sometimes it take someone who hasn't been corrupted to see a different side to things not seen by those who have had power for too long. I welcome the young Obama to my country as I'm 40 and I believe in the young future, NOT the old past.

Watch the Hillary-fanatics weigh in on this subject!!!! It's going to be funny listening to their rants as they are still holding their breath wishing Obama selects her. If he does, the GOP will eat Barack up for making the worst mistake in his short political life.

Oops! Sorry, I made a mistake above. I meant to say Obama does oppose late term abortion in cases where a woman is suffering from emotional illness.

Clinton, no, wait, McCain Supporter, & Jerry wake up, Clinton lost get over it.

It seems to me that Sen. McCaskill is out of touch with a lot. Obama better not pick her for VP. There are some politicians that would rather be a Sen. because they believe they have more say as a Sen. For instance, look how close the Senate is. Now say, Sen. Schwarzanegger (sp?) accepted the VP spot, his spot would probably be filled with a Democrat. On the other hand, if Sen. Webb took the VP spot, his spot would probably be filled with a Republican causing the Democrat's to lose the majority. Obama might not have problems with hispanics anymore, but he does with women/Clinton supporters and blue collar workers.

McCaskill is, what is called in the business, a handmaiden to the establishment. She is not enough of her own person to do anything but worship at the empty altar of Obama.

Wake up Democrats! Obama is not a Democrat, but a closet Republican: he wants more federal money in the hands of churches than Bush, doesn't oppose government illegal snooping on private citizens, doesn't oppose late term abortion in cases of emotional distress, favors the death penalty in non-capital cases, etc. . . .

Obama's team is now vetting Anne Venemen for his vp - Bush's first-term Secretary of Agriculture, a darling of big agribusiness and despised by environmentalists. Obama has no guiding principles. He will do anything for votes. What kind of a Democrat would even consider Venemen for any post at all, much less vp?

I have never voted Republican in my life, but I will be voting for McCain, just to get the Democratic party to wake up and pay for their internal coup that handed Obama the nomination. He is not a Democrat!!!! And he stutters and stammers as much as Bush when speaking without a script - an indication of years of neurological damage from hard drug use. People, that kind of damage doesn't heal. I know, I'm a neuroscientist.

Clinton Supporters for John McCain!!!
Clinton should have been the nominee. Obama will surely loose the election unless he picks Hillary. Hillary received more votes than Obama so Obama should honor that and pick her as his VP. If he doesn't, McCain will win!! I am 18 and even I know this to be true

Interesting insight from McCaskill, but Obama won't choose her for VP. I can't see him choosing any woman for VP unless it is Hillary (even though I think Gov. Sebelius would be an excellent choice).

I dare Obama to pick McCaskill or any other female that is NOT named Hillary. It will take guts to do so. Any rational voter will see that Obama is pandering and will backfire big-time.

Then again....if Obama refuses to pick a female.....that will tick off the feminist wing of the Democrat Party and general females in general. I can see the headlines already. Obama picks a safe unknown male such as Bayh, Edwards, Biden, or Nunn. Then McCain returns fire the next day by annoucing the former CEO of Hewlett Packard will be his VP. McCain will then have a group of females in the background of his speech on the platform.

Obama's only smart choice is to pick Hillary......but it is obvious with the recent world tour that Obama is so confident and arrogant that he thinks he can win this by himself and he doesn't need any help.

We shall see how things really turn out.

when are all these clinton idiots going to realize it's over....she lost! more of us out here voted for obama than the idiots that wanted the old tricks left in washintion that voted for her.
it is stupid to even say they will vote for McCain if not her. they are showing their ignorance in what the issues in our country are. if the only reason they wanted hillary was because she was a women then you all don't have the intelligence enough to vote or make a differance anyway!

This is common sense. The standard answer for any vp potential is to say they don't want it.

But it's a whole other story if they are actually asked.

Being a Democrat from Missouri, I lost a lot of respect for McCaskill during the primary campaign between Obama and Clinton. I am a big supporter of Obama and hope that he does not ask McCaskill to be his running mate. I will be hard pressed to support McCaskill when she runs for re-election.

While I don't think that Claire McCaskill is qualified to be President (which SHOULD be the criteria for selecting a running mate)...I am deeply disappointed by the ugly, politics-as-usual postings above written by people who instantly jump to personal attacks on Senator McCaskill's integrity (in fact, outright calling her a liar) without giving any examples or rationale for their opinions. It is this type of divisive "if-you-are-a-Democrat-we-must-destroy-you" type of rhetoric that has streamed from the Republican machine for years that the American public have finally rejected.

Guys – if you want you candidate to have even the slimmest hope of winning – don't sully yourselves by using Rove-type tactics. At the very least, I'd hope that you'd have more self-respect than to dirty yourselves – since the slurs don't reflect one wit on Senator McCaskill or her reputation – only yours.

Angry, petulant Clinton supporters would never accept any female VP than Hillary. I think Sen. McCaskill would be a fine choice. She's been onboard since the beginning.

Give viewers a chance to post about Obama's recent no show to the Army hospital in Germany.If that were McCain,you can bet this so called news network would have all kinds of nasty negative comments from the mentaly unstable anti-American Obama supporters!!

Hey no wait McCain supporter Rebuttican tell us the truth and stop hiding behind Hillary it won't work NOT THIS TIME .
You people do this day after day on here think we don't catch on?

If Sen. McCaskill still thinks that supporters of Hillary Clinton have forgotten all about the primary season, she is sorely mistaken. Obama may be the pre-sumptive nominee, but he still hasn't closed the deal with the American people. He needs to put Sen. Clinton on the ticket...that is, if she will accept it.

Hey Repubs., why the need to try to dress as an Democrat? It is so laughably obvious, you ain't fooling anyone. No true democrat or independent would "hate" and "despice" this man. The moment you post such extreme views, you show your true colors. No "name" can hide the venom in your posts.

Relax, take it easy, it is useless to fight progress when it is this close to your door step... and you know, like many Bush supporters have spewed all along, if you don't like it feel free to leave the country.

Barack should choose one of the 36 main stream TV reporters, pundits, journalists, and editors of major newspapers who have contributed financially to his campaign. Afterall, if Obama wins, it will largely be due to the bias in US mainstream media and their unwillingness to challenge or vet Obama on his experience or his positions. Obama could be the first President effectively elected by the media in the US -– utterly shameful situation

OBAMA YOU CERTAINLY DON'T WON'T A STRONG WOMEN ON YOUR TICKET LIKE HILLARY DO. IW WISH YOU WOULD HURRY UP AND ANNOUCE YOU VP SO WE COULD SEE YOUR POLL NUMBERS DROP TO OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND.

Who cares what she thinks.... She isn't gonna be a Senator for that much longer....

Still wishing and hoping that Senator Obama will pick Hillary Clinton as his V.P.

Claire McCaskill is despised by half of the Democratic Party. There is no measure by which she could be considered to be ready on "Day One" to take over should something unforeseen happen to Senator Obama.She is a joke.

As if Senator McCain hasn't been doing major league flip-flopping himself the last few months and acting like he's owed the Presidency.

You so-called feminists who say things like "no woman other than Hillary" are prejudging based on gender and excluding a large number of people for consideration for a job based on gender. Not very feminist.

Who is Sen. McCaskill to answer how other politicians really feel?
Perhaps she should stick with her own feelings and not try estimate other politicians feelings and views.

Ok here is my take on this, I don't think Barack needs to pick a woman to win. But if he must pick a woman, it has to be Hillary or he will lose big time! No woman is more qualified for the spot than Hillary, but I don't think he should pick her.

You "If not Clinton then McCain" voters have a lot of gall to say you're standing up for women somehow by voting against Obama. Did you not hear McCain stutter and sputter the other day when asked why he has supported allowing insurance companies to cover Viagra but not birth control (even though birth control is known to be used to treat strictly medical conditions such as ovarian cysts and polycystic ovarian syndrome, among others)? The same guy who was still living with his first wife when he started courting her much-younger replacement?

Please, don't use the "woman" card to justify your vote for McCain. Call it what it really is...sour grapes.

All the VP speculation is a media-driven effort. In reality is a lot of noise about nothing. In time the candidates will make their choices known and will do so on their own time scales, not ones driven by the media. Yawn!

McCaskill is one HUGE JOKE..........

McCaskill looks vicious and mean to me, like she could rip apart the German Chancellor in a minute. Her eyes....

McCaskill, just another democrat lackey, a suck-up. Would make a good VP for BO, then both would be lame brains.

Dream on, Mrs. McCaskill. I suppose your grandkids convinced you to run for the VP job, like they did with your supporting Senator Obama. What, I have long asked, is wrong with admitting that you made a personal decision and stick with it?

McCaskil will never be VP.

Obama,has apparently self appointed his self as U.S. president or at least it appears that way! Hey CNN, why don't you give the chance to post comments on Barack Hussain Obama more often? You do that with McCain why is it different for Osama? I think you just like all the one sided attacks on McCain and you call your self a news network? More like a propaganda network for Obama! I'm sure you will not post this given the fact that I'm pro-McCain!

Obama,is to arragant to be president. McCain all the way 2008!!! McCain=real change not just cheap words and a hole lot of flip flops...LoL

I really like Governor McCaskill. Normally, I would be pleased to see her on the ticket.

But Obama really can't afford to choose any woman but Hillary. If he does, it will look like pandering.

If he doesn't want Hillary, which I can understand if not necessarily agree with, he needs someone who can get him a key state or key demographic.

How about Ken Salazar from Colorado?

I strongly have respect for Senator McCaskill. She is among the honest politicians that we still have in this present era.

typical Obama supporter, if you're not a fanatic for him, you must be racist or lying. Why can't Obama supporters just get that some of us see through his phony rhetoric. He's all talk, no action. Just look at his voting record. He's missed more votes than any other senator, and he has voted present more than any other senator. The man is an empty suit!

Please tell me I won't have to look at this hideous woman for 4 years!

Claire is the first one out with an honest answer. Good for her!

I love it when people make blanket statements like - "I think she [McCaskill] seriously lacks honesty and integrity" - where does that come from? Examples please, or are we just making stupid statements to try and score cheap political points.

I think the Senator has been a great spokesman for the Obama campaign and she is right - any of them would say yes to being VP.

Sen. Claire McCaskill would be a good choice,
I think Dick Gephardt would be better from Missouri,
for Obama.In the same context,Mitt Romney would be
a good choice for McCain,I think John Kasich or Mike Pence
would be better though.Both Missouri and the Ohio Valley
will be hard fought in this Election that is clear.

i guess the truth is painful but its great to hear the truth keep up the good work and forget about those whose business is faultfinding

Well Claire, I'm sure it has nothing to do with RACISM!! HHMM!!
A nation divided and the chasm keeps growing it appears!!

I don't think Senator McCaskill lacks honesty and integrity. She is one honest politician with good judgement and integrity that this country still have in this present era. I strongly have respect for her.

Depends on if you are in Obama camp or not... Cant see who will ruin their political future running with McCain and Bush

Wow! The pot calling the kettle black. Senator McCaskill is not the most honest person dreaming of being flip-flopping, rookie Senator Obama's running mate. No wonder she was against Senator Clinton from the beginning. Though Senator Clinton would have been, and is the best candidate for the presidency of the US.

American voters wake up!!!

I guess hypocrites run in pairs.

If Obama picks any woman other than Hillary Clinton, he will be a laughing stock.

And women will vote with their feet in numbers little Barry can't even imagine!

I have always wanted to know what was in it for her. I mean she backed Obama early and she was aggressive about defending him. I wonder how dissapointed she will be if she does not the the V.P. spot.

It doesn's matter whether she is honest or not. What she has said is true, anyone will be thrilled to be asked to serve as number two.

Please do not pick this woman as your VP. I am tired of her lobbying for it and her trying to be the next hillary but she is a joke and wouldn't bring anything to the ticket!

If the polls stay the same Obama might haveto pick HRC as a running mate.

Claire would be a great pick.

Can't touch that one because she is right.

McCaskill lost all credibility with me when I watched her lie to cover for Obama after he clearly turned his back on Hillary in the Senate. I can't imagine a worse scenario for our nation: a green-horn president and a 3-year senator. But. . . he does owe her for all the covering up she's done for him.

Come On! How many people would tell their boss "No thanx I don't want that promotion that pays a lot more and doesn't really make me work at all. Just stand there and be ready to take over" If you know one then you know a liar.

Does anyone really think Hillary is just going to fall by the wayside and wait for the next election? Trust me something is going to happen either before or during the convention. They will find a way to take this from Obama it's just a matter of when and how.

imho

For someone to write that McCaskill isn't honest is a joke. Claire McCaskill is one of the countries finest Senators with a breadth of knowledge that would help any President run the country. Claire is a first rate individual and as a democrat I would be proud to have her on the ticket.

I wrote in one of comments weeks ago, that Claire is the right person for the Job if Al Gore says no
Obama / Al Gore (2008)
or
Obama / Claire McCaskill (2008)

I think she right. If they've been asked, they should say so. If they've indicated to the Obama campaign that they'd take the job if offered, they should say so or a least a "No comment" which would indicate that they've been talked to, but have not been asked to accept the job. I think its a shame to have the first thing out of the potential Veep's mouth be a lie.

Instead of critising those she short listed without consultations, she should just take the VP position and let’s see what she can bring to the ticket. Honestly Catskill thinks that she can govern this country proxy. What a dope

I agree with the above comment 100%. And it's not smart to add someone with even LESS experience in the Senate than Obama to the ticket.

I don't know what gives McCaskill any status (besides being female and being the un-Hillary). A McCaskill VP will be as disastrous as Geraldine Ferarro.

It's good to see somebody finally being honest about the VP process.

yawn

YOU ARE 100 PERCENT CORRECT. MCCASKILL IS NOT BEING HONEST, SHE JUST LIKE OBAMA CONTINUES TO LIE. JUST BE TRUTHFUL.

Obama/Edwards 2000!

WHOOPS!

Anyone seen the Clinton s?

October surprise!

Lots of Fun: Reading 'Time Magazine", on the Internet.. Obama is definitly walking on water.. Sploosh!!!!

so TWO freshmen senators from the midwest.
already with obama or mccain we are in severe danger.
who was the last successful senator as president?
it wasn't kennedy. he got into the cuba situation, expanded vietnam and never did anything despite the rumors about civil rights. that was LBJ.

and whenever you hear of CAMELOT remember that is a fable set up by jackie kennedy and arthur schlesinger, jr in 1965 to make up a legacy on JFK.
it is pure fantasy.

You go girl!

Obama McCaskill 08/12

Landslide Obama!

2nNurselady

I'm from Mo.- a lifelong democrate and you are right!

Missouri is a red state and it will remain so. We do not need Sen McCaskill or Obama to tell us what to do. CNN gives lot of publicity to these liberal senators and divide our nation.

Umm its not that hard to imagine people don't want to be vp. I am so over Obama if he wants to choose someone else besides Hillary just to prove that he don't need her then whatever. The democratic party has just turned into a bunch of bullies anyway unseating one of Hillary's delegates for saying she wants to vote for McCain. The DNC wants to silence the people.

It wouldn't surprise me if Obama picked Judas Richardson.

Was for Hillary, now for McCain!

Was a lifelong Democrat.....now a brand-new Republican!

She is a one scary lady who has trouble telling the truth. Her name would fit her nose if it were Pinocchio.

I feel sorry for the people in her good state. They shouldn't have to put up with such a loser.

Both her and Obama are risky people to be in government jobs. How can obama draw his pay from the senate when he is absent so much.

What a loser.

I don't know about McCaskill, whether she is honest or not. But I just don't think this rings true with all of them. And to be honest, those who stay in the senate can do a lot more from the senate floor. Because Dems will need the vote.

McCaskill is correct. Democrat and Republican VP candidates have not been honest. All of them are interested. In the case of McCaskill, I do not believe she balances the ticket. Obama needs someone with foreign policy experience to balance out his ticket. VP candidates, such as Hagel, Reed, Nunn, Bayh, Biden and Webb are my preferred choices. McCain choice should not be Romney. What a joke. Someone like Pawlenty or maybe even Kay Bailey Hutchinson would be a much better VP choice.

Sen. McCaskill is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, they fools are just "blowing" hot air when they claim they don't WANT the VP job. Come On, are we that stupid to believe those VEEPs who are on the "potential" list.

What a bunch of sissies, they can't even tell the TRUTH. If you want the Job SAY you want it, stop beating around the bush.

This is silly,Obama is a different kind of candidate...he isn't going to choose someone who has been in Government,that would'nt be CHANGE.

thanks for the info......

You can tell when McCaskill is lying, her lips are moving.

Hillary for President

I think not wanting to get your family drug through the mud might also be a consideration. That would be really tough.

Obama 08

It's very important who McCain picks as VP to offset what is amounting to an "entitled" candidate – the candidate who benefits from media bias, favortism, an uneven playing field, sugar coated headllines -Obama. As far as I'm concerned Obama's campaign has been corrupted by unfair advantage. It's been rigged.

I don't blame you Sen. John Thune of South Dakota. Many Republicans don't want to be McCain's running mate. In fact many Republicans running for office this year are running away from the Republican brand.

Well... this is very funny coming from McCaskill, a person I think seriously lacks honesty and integrity.
