It's very good Hillary is not on Obama's ticket because true Hillary supporters does not want her on his ticket as they are not going to vote him anyway
PUMA 08

I never wanted them to run together after all the way they crucified her in the Dem primaries. I switched from Dem to Ind and my vote is going to McCain now. For all those people that keep saying that McCain is another Bush they are full of ????! If I recall, in 2000 Bush was the candidate of "CHANGE" and look where we are today. When he was elected (i mean selected, like Obama was in Dem primaries) he was also inexperienced so the American people should take that as a learning lesson. Go McCain and God Bless America............... there's no other country like ours!

Clinton is the only one who would carry on the work that she and Obama starts if she elected president after their first 8 year run.

Clinton and Obama are two sided of the same coin.

We all need to wake up and see how important taking back this country is to the USA and to the rest of the world. We will strong leadership over the next 16 years to repair the damage of 8 Bush years.

Why do you make it look like a comment has been published to where the world can view it with the caption "Your comment is awaiting moderation. " when in fact the comment can only seen by the sender and no one else. Then, after many hours latter it actually makes it in to where the world can view it, but the extremely long delay greately diminished the impact of the message. At the same time, it appears that some commenters always get published quickly to where they are able to summit multiple comments within a short time and actually have a back and forth dialog going?

Nancy: She was already in the White House, and we accomplished many great things.

Enlightened Voter: She said She was MORE qualified and MORE electable. She didn't say he was not qualified.

When you run for the Most POWERFUL job in the world, you kinda need to roll with the punches.
If you can't swing that, you really have no business applying for the job.
The day Politics becomes sweet, harmless and friendly is the day noone will care.

I think both candidates stepped into the critcisms they faced.
I think both candidates handled their situations pretty well.

Guess what people she just might be the one. Altough at times I cound not stand the womon, she is the only one out there that can bring a solid demograpic to the polls in November. Obama has shown that he is strong enough to raign in Hillary. I think that Hillary is just lying low to tamper down some of the friction established during the primary and the only reason this pick would work is because of the high road Obama took towards Hillary in spite of the low blows she leveled at him. To justify this pick he can simply argue that Hillary is a fighter and that she tought that the only way she would be able to defeat him was by going negative. Remember guys, she soap opra aside they share many of the same ideas that will benefit America.

So here it goes, after she gives her speech on Tuesday night, Obama will stroll out onto the stage, stand beside her and announce to the world that she will be his VP. And together they will continue the historic journey they have started together to change America forever

Moses and Martin both made it to the mountain top, but neither was allowed to enter the Promised Land. Maybe Senator Clinton has led us, as a nation, to the mountain top so we, as a people, could cross over into the Promised Land.

Now if only the PUMA's–who are obviously of less import than this "VoteBoth" group–would take a cue and step up to elect Obama in November. VoteBoth has set an example that all those still whining and blogging as if HRC still had a shot at being President, need to follow. Hillary will undoubtedly have a spot in President Obama's Cabinet, ulitmately a more important post than what she would have held as VP and with more power to do things, except to become the President.
OBAMA / Anyone but HRC 2008 & 2012!

I was a big Hillary fan until the primaries then I changed my mind. My ? is to her supporters. Why hasn't she supported him yet in a big way, as well as you guys.

Had Obama lost, you, she and everyone else who have raised hell, if he and his supporters acted the way she and her supporters have.

In an ole fashion saying. Cut your nose to spite your face.
You rather vote for McCain just see Obama loose and make the country even worse than it is. If McCain wins and this countries gets even worse, I won't blame him or the Repubs, I will blame those Clinton supporters.
Let it go and lets take back the "White House"

We can breathe a little easier now that the whining-dog Clinton is that much farther from the White House. She caused much more animosity and tension in the primary than the Republicans have so far, and what's sad is that she was sincere about all of it. There's no way she would work out as Obama's VP. He doesn't need the headache. We don't either.

Well, they should have realized this a long time ago. No one has the right to force him to do anything. IT IS HIS CHOICE. Although she was NEVER my choice-she completely lost me when she stated "I bring a life time of experience, Sen. McCain brings a life-time of experience and Sen. Obama brings a speech." I will NEVER forget that. Never. She's a nasty, low-down evil person and nothing she says or does will ever make me feel differently. Why doesn't she appear at the Republicans convention? Its more fitting since she helped them win this year.

Why would he want her? She has tons of baggage from all of that "experience" and most of it is not very positive.

about time.

Thank goodness. It was always a stupid idea. Hillary doesn't seek the Vice-Presidency, she seeks a co-Presidency. Kudos for Obama for resisting the pressure to select her.

How can you be a Hillary supporter, if you refuse to vote for her view pionts, the canidate that she endorsed, and the party she belongs to, as well as the only major party that favors women's rights? That's not supporting her.

I am so relieved. Now I don't have to vote for Obama for sure.

NOBAMA '08!

I am so tired of Obama backers and others saying that the Clinton campaign was "dirty" or "nasty". Are you really all that blind! Who brought up race? Obama and his surrogates did! Not Hillary. Which candidate questioned the other candidates integrity ("she only says things to get elected)? Obama and his surrogates did! Not Hillary. Which candidate was criticised from the media, the left, and the right? It wasn't Obama. It was Hillary!

Why was it so easy (and still is) for the media (as well as others) to use the word "Bit*h" to describe Hillary?

This primary was shameful. It was shameful that more women did not vote for Hillary. It was shameful that she and Bill were demonized. It was shameful that, ultimately, a caucus system decided who the Democratic nominee was. It was shameful that Florida and Michigan did not play a role. It was shameful that Texas went to Obama when Hillary won it by a relatively large margin.

And, it's shameful that this women who has dedicated much of her adult life to the good of many (rather than the good of a few) was treated with such disrespect from Obama (and others).

I can't vote for McCain, but I also can't vote for Obama without Hillary on the ticket. And guess what, there are about 10 million+ voters that feel the same way I do....Good luck winning the White House without us. And, yes, I'm willing to sacrifice another 4-years if I have to...

I'm thinking that if Obama is not selecting Clinton for the VP spot, he must be planning on giving her a cabinet post or possibly a supreme court nomination.

She showed her true colors this year. If she would of ran a half civil campaign im sure she would of been picked in a heartbeat. But with the low road ads, and bad talk shes deserves nothing. Remember when Obama had enough delagates and won, and they were still calling her the next president.

I will not vote for Obama without Hillary...say what you like..I do not care. Many more feel the same way. Hillary won that nomination. She also earned it. The least Obama could do is offer her the VP. No money and no support from me.

Hillary should let Obama dig his own grave. He is never going to win,

and why would she want to go down with him. He is a disgrace to

our country.

I think it will be the wrong decision to not have Hillary on the ticket. If Obama wants change and listens to what the majority of people want to see happen, then he will listen to them as he says he does and really consider putting her on the ticket. She would add so much more to the ticket on top of what he adds already making ONE STRONG TICKET!!

I guess he was more qualified than her because he one and she didnt' . . . . .That is like a losing sports team saying "we were the better team" . . . .no you weren't! If you were the better team, you should have won!

nancy!!! I'm guessing you haven't seen past primaries, this was nothing compared to others. people like you are haters and have nothing better to do than hate on people who are acutally do good and the right thing in Washington.... and don't make it seem like Obama played it clean the whole way – he got down and dirty the same way any other candidate has. So please check your facts before you start spreading your useless hate around....

As much as I hesitate to admit it, I do not think Barack Obama can win this election without Hillary Clinton. The Veep options he has shown us so far are colorless, boring and certainly do not characterize the kind of change he has dissed Hillary for lacking. At least she is spirited, dynamic and brings with her 18 million voters. If Obama needs to feel "comfortable" with his Veep, he can bring a teddy bear to the office. Other presidents have coped with that aspect. Just don't give Bill an office at 1600.

Since Barack has returned from his trip abroad he has lacked the aggressive behavior and quick response he used against Hillary in the primaries. Where is his head? He is slipping in the polls and he had better get his mano a mano together.

I guess I'll now take a look at Cynthia McKinney or Nader. Sorry, I'm not a sheep that blindly follows. I didn't think Obama was qualified to be president 6 months ago and I don't think he is now. I refuse to do the irresponsible act of voting for an unqualified candidate.

Smart move.

No, I don;t think so..... with Obama's poor performance against John McCAin, the DNC may beg her to be their nominee in Denver!

PUMA makes no sense!

Obama definitely has the experience to lead the country.

What is the point of PUMA?

Do we really want to elect John McCain out of spite?

Do we really want to keep the Iraq war and the economic problems in this country going out of some immature desire to spite Obama?

We have to be 18 to vote because it is expected that people will not act like 8 year olds when they vote.

Hillary Clinton is asking her supporters to unite and back Barack Obama.

Are we supposed to believe that the people in PUMA who are dedicated to Hillary Clinton would actually ignore what Hillary is saying?

That makes no sense!

Obama '08!

BARACK THE VOTE !!!

She will be a great secretary of State, but would not be a good VP... In addition, having Bill Clinton back in the White house would have been a very bad idea.

There are more qualified and interesting choices for VP for President OBAMA...

HAd it not been for this nasty, cheap and uselessly long primary battle, maybe my opinion of sen. Clinton's chances as VP would have been different...

Our hopes have not dimmed we are very happy she will not be the v.p. she is way, way above a supporting role to such a loser.

Place her name in Nomination at the First Roll Call and then we shall see who truly will be the democratic leader... If not then meet us back here in 2012

Clinton 2012

why is this woman even allowed to be near Senator Obama, she might be plotting something ..knowing the clintons they might anounce their 3r,d and 4th term, and chelsea's taht night,
she is a snake,
i would not trust her,
she might do something..

she has said that it is not over yet..

watch out for that snake

Oh well!!!!!!!!!!! Either her supporters vote Dem or Rep.

I think they are giving up too soon. Bayh and Kaine were put out as a distraction. Biden or Hillary will be the VP. I'm starting to think that an Obama/Clinton ticket would be unstoppable!

He's NOT. I usually vote dem but have voted rep, I think this country needs experience right now and Obama doesn't have any that I can see other than pretty promises that every politician makes. He keeps saying a new kind of politics but his speeches change for each group just like all the rest. I don't know enough about him except what his campaign has put out and I sure don't believe what any of them say. He realy should have waited the 4 years so people could judge him on his record of voting. Being a brand new senator and immediately running was a big mistake because people were able to see McCains record and Clintons record but not his and what we did see wasn't all that impressive. Need more data.

Great news! Why should Hillary be dragged down by Barack? We can vote for her in 2012, after we're all sick of McCain!

ONE THING TO SAY!!!

CLINTON DEMOCRATS FOR MCCAIN!!

JOHN MCCAIN REPRESENTS BLUE COLLAR AMERICANS MORE THEN THE ELITIST OBAMA, OBAMA HAS REFUSED EVERY IDEA ON ENERGY AND THE ECONOMY THAT IS NOT HIS OWN BUT STILL PREACHES HE IS BIPARTISAN, JOHN MCCAIN AND HILLARY HAVE SHOWN THEY ARE OPEN TO ALL IDEAS THAT WILL SOLVE AMERICAS ENERGY AND ECONOMIC CRISIS. JOHN MCCAIN PUT THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY ABOVE HIS PARTY AND HAS A RECORD OF WORKING WITH OTHERS OUTSIDE HIS PARTY THAT IS THE KIND OF PRESIDENT WE NEED!!

OBAMA IS A LITTLE SCARED BECAUSE HIS CANDIDATE OF THE WORLD TOUR BACKFIRED AND ACCORDING TO THE USA TODAY GALLOP POLL RELEASED MONDAY MCCAIN LEADS BY 4 POINTS. I THINK AMERICANS HAVE STARTED TO SEE OBAMA'S TRUE SELF, SUCH AS WHEN HE CHOSE NOT TO VISIT OUR AMERICAN HEROS AT A MILITARY HOSPITAL IN GERMANY BECAUSE HE COULD NOT BRING HIS MEDIA CURCUS IN WITH HIM, I GUESS OUR SOLDIERS DON'T MEAN MUCH TO HIM IF HE CANT GET A PHOTO OP OUT OF THEM.. AMERICA NEEDS A PRESIDENT WHO PUTS AMERICA AND AMERICANS FIRST AND JOHN MCCAIN IS CLEARLY THAT PRESIDENT!!

CLINTON DEMOCRATS FOR MCCAIN!!

GOOD OF COUNTRY OVER GOOD OF PARTY, DEMOCRATS WOULD NOT BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT IF THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE WAS REFLECTED IN OUR NOMINEE, HILLARY DID HAVE MORE VOTES!!

Well, who it's gonna be in 2008?

How about Obama/Rice or McCain/Clinton, huh?

HILLARY ON THE TICKET WOULD NEVER WORK. NO MATTER HOW MUCH EACH SAY ABOUT THE PAST THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS ALL THE NEGATIVE THINGS THAT BOTH HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON SAID DURING THE CAMPAIGN. NO MATTER WHAT IS SAID IF SHE WAS V.P. BARRACK WOULD ALWAYS HAVING THAT NAGGING FEAR ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON BEHIND HIS BACK BETWEEN THE TWO CLINTONS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VERY QUALIFIED POTENTIAL V.P. CANIDATES THAT BARACK CAN CHOOSE WHO WILL BE MUCH BETTER FOR THE TICKET. PLEASE PEOLPE, PUT THE PAST BEHIND AND VOTE FOR OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA.

I was and am still a Hillary supporter, but I will vote for Obama.The Obama campaign just hit me up for another donation.If Obama wants more $ from me, he'll have to name Hillary as his VP!

I wish Sen. Clinton well. I am sure she will have a place that is perfect for her in the Obama administration. The Vote Both people are smart. They realize that we need to come together for the good of our nation. Some of the people who say they are Democrats supporting McCain are really racists who would never vote for a black person ever.

How sad... Guess now they'll catch the last train out of Clintonville.

Dear Hillary, please don't accept Bill Richardson's offer to fundraise for you. That man hates your family yet you put him where he is today. You don't need his help you have enough money of your own leave that fool alone. And to all of you Hillary haters, she doesn't even know you and she doesn't need you in her life, God already gave her enough

Too bad that Obama is not more interested in winning the campaign. Clinton would have been his best choice for vp. Now she can concentrate her efforts to get more women elected to the Senate and the House.

Obama should win this election but if he does not, he only has himself to blame. He needs help with the very voters that Clinton speaks to. The elderly, lower income, women all rallied to Sen. Clinton. I have not heard of one potential vp canidate who helps with those groups. Maybe they will support Obama and if they do he will win but if they do not the McCain will be the next president and I hope if that happens, the Obama supporters will come to realize that the fault is in themselves.

CNN must be sooooo disappointed. Blitzer needs a box of tissues

Enlightened voter, she meant he was comparatively unqualified. As in, compared to Hillary, Obama is unqualified. Which is the truth.

So it would make sense to have someone on the ticket with qualifications.

why are we still talking about Hillary ? Move on CNN she has !!!

as always it just breaks down to party politics, no matter a conviction of direction or ideals. we will never make the political progres we want untill we the people quit buying into republican or democractic victory. we give our time and money to these 2 like it was a sporting event instead of real ideals for the betterment of all. i am already bored with this election when is the next one?

This election will prove if we are a nation of smart people or stupids. It should not be that diffucult to figure this one out.

OBAMA '08

Hillary should give her convention speech in front of a backdrop which contains detailed images of the caskets, the graves, and the dead bodies of the over half-million non-combatants, children and women who have lost their lives in the unnecessary war that she voted for standing proudly with Bush/Cheney.

I wonder if Hillary supporters consider the lives of Iraqi women as valuable as those of American women. Or is it a case of ‘My hurt bitter feelings first and foremost’?

I believe Obama thought that the primary was the nastiest one he'd every gone through - that is until he got to the Obama vs. McCain part. To Nancy, elections are funny. Take your "someone like that" and apply it to Obama, and it takes on an altogether different meaning. But there are those of us who feel that way, and I for one, regret that he will not have Hillary on his ticket. He just may well be having that same regret say six months from now. And so it goes.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
As a registered Democrat and Sen. Clinton supporter, I feel that it is a positve step for her NOT to be on Sen. Obama's ticket as VP. Sen. Obama is probably a really good person, but I don't think he will make much of a president due to his being "green." Currently, he has 300 advisors, how many will he have if he becomes President, and who will they be? And any policy decisions coming from his administration will not be a reflection of him, but any one of his advisors. It will sully Sen. Clinton's political fire if she were to be Sen. Obama's Vice President, should he even be just a mediocre president. I also don't believe it was a good time for him to take his European/Middle Eastern "tour." He is too presumptuous about winning the presidency; neither convention has even taken place yet, nor the naming of either VPs. No, it is best Sen. Clinton is NOT on the Obama ticket.

When this election first started I was more towards Hillary and would rather see them both on the ticket, but after the mud slinging she did and that ABC debate that showed who she really is even after Obama didn't take advantage of the Bosnia remark, I can't ever bring myself to vote for her. I'm now glad Obama will choose someone else.

I beg to differ, I think she would have been a good VP, the only thing that I worried about was Bill's ego going to be checked at the front door. I still like Hillary, I just like Obama more. I still say he needs to put her in his cirlce of close advisior or better yet, nominate her to the Supreme Court, she would be outstanding.

Obama 08

Well lets see about that i am not against the dream ticket but the real problem is bill clinton going back to white house if obama pick hilary clinton.

A vote for McCain is a vote for DOOM!

I will be really pissed off if Barack doesn't offer her the V.P. slot. Period.

Hillary would have been the best vice president in history; Biden would be better still, as he would have been the best president. Obama who I will vote for is too immature to pick someone who could overshadow him. This means it will be a rocky couple of years til he grows up in office. He should not have been nominated but the Republicans are corrupt on a scale that would make Nero blush. We still have to endure another several months of the intentional damage they inflict in the name of 'small government' (small in terms of caring for the population, gargantuan in stealing for themselves and their backers). Facing that you'd think Obama would be strong enough to know he needs the Clintons to tackle it all- he has certainly become Hillary Clinton since he clinched, just a second-rate one.

When it comes right down to the nitty gritty, can either of these two really
change anything? Politicians do not run the government!!! Money and money interests run the government. Most politicians are snugly tucked into the pockets of the powerful money managers. It is my sincere hope that Obama may possibly change that , but the odds proven by history say it can't be done. However I think he will try!!!!!!! Can McCain change anything? I can't see how, when he is part of the problem not the solution

Sorry Hillary!! Not even for you will I vote for this liar.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

He's turned his back on 18 million of Hillary's supporters. That cannot be overlooked. He thinks he is so popular that he doesn't need her or us. Europe can't vote for him and neither can Canada. Then can have him.

PUMA's – send this Jr. Senator back to the Senate where he belongs

Being a long time Clinton supporter, myself, I would have definitely stood behind either candidate upon winning the nomination. However, I honestly feel if the Clinton's did not resort to such a negative, cut throat campaign agains Obama and made things worse bu the way both Hillary and Bill decided to behave, not endorsing Obama from the beginning, resorting to self-entitled, narcisistic behavior in it's worst form.....I honestly believe Obama and his supporters would have welcomed Hillary with open arms to the number 2 spot immediately. She is obviously an accomplished, capable candidate and stand for many of the exact same platforms Obama stands for........the negativity of the PUMA's as well as Bill's out of control actions have caused the Obama campaign to think twice.....and a mismanaged campaign to the tune of $20-30M in debt didn't help things either.....they would have been unstoppable.

Enlightened – I will be voting for him – but only as I do not want a repub in office – but he really is not qualified – out of all runnign he ws the least and has been put up as a straw man – if you are so enligtened you should see that – he has changed on all things – just the way the party wants it to – -

Nancy – I guess you did not notice Obama's nastiness – wow

Well i said befor it will not happen.the so called dream ticket will not happen.the primary election was the nastiest election of the century.them two cannot match after all the ugly primary that almost devided the party.

She will probably have a high ranking position in his administration. No worry for her !

As a Clinton supporter, I will not vote for Obama regardless of who he chooses as VP. Obama is NOT qualified or experienced. Glad she is not joining him on the ticket.

Why do Dems keep saying there needs to be change? Haven't the Democrats OWNED the house and senate for the past 2+ years? Not sure if they mean changing back to Republicans so gas prices can finally drop...Dem leadership is a total failure.

McCain will win and send ALL of those tax hiking Democrats packing. I know I don't want any part of HillaryCare.
Obama=Rev Wright
Obama=Rezko
Obama=Inexperience
Change to Peace is for wimps
McCain in 08!

Get this woman off the stage and give the spotlight back to Obama! Send all the PUMA jerks home because we don't need them to win.

I agree with you Nancy...only in reverse, which is not even close to the top ten in reasons that I, a life long Dem, will NEVER vote for obama.

Obamas' arrogance will bring him down. Once people really listen to what he has to say, the less they like him. We already know we must tighen our belts. We already know gas mileage is improved with less driving. DUH.. We don't need this arrogant person in the White House, we just had 7 years of that. He plays the race card everyday. Why does he have to mention the fact he looks different from other candidates. If that isn't racist, what is? The only difference is the color of his skin. He is, as Rev. Wright pointed out, a typical politician. I bet he dreams of his face on Mt. Rushmore. Such arrogance I have never witnessed before. I will write Hillary on my ballot in November and that is one less vote for either of them

What a big disappointment. It's the country's loss and Obama probably wont put her in his cabinet which shows he will pick pride before country. I am just not liking Obama.

If no Hillary, then I'm not supporting DUH FURROR and his special fruit punch drinking NUTZI wing of the Democratic Party.

Mr Obamas blunder in the making right here. The same path Gore took with the results that we all paid dearly. He, who has spent only four years in the senate, is handicapped by his inexperience and acting arrogant could also harm his chances. He is already struggling to identify himself with America whites, Latinos and other groups. The DNC choosing the candidate for us while taking votes away and manipulating the results of the primaries; there after living millions of us wondering about the name "Democratic Party".

The best way to unify the party is to get this two in the same ticket but the arrogance is way out of control to actually share the umpresendented turn out we had because of these two candidates.

I don't blame her for not wanting to sit "beneath" him. Ugh! I wouldn't take second chair to him either!

Thank God. I would not want Hillary getting on that sinking ship. No way, let him fight his own battles and go down in flames on his own. He does not deserve to have her on his ticket. Tuesday will be the one night that I will be watching after that lights out on the 08 convention for me.

To quote an old Dan Hicks song, "How can I miss you when you won't go away?"

There was a close friend of Hillary Clinton who was her Svengali. He was a close platonic friend who was her mentor from the day she entered the Rose Law firm. His constant professional nurturing made her into a star attorney. Shortly after Bill Clinton entered the White House in 1993, administrative mistakes were made. Hillary Clinton turned on her mentor and placed the blame on him. Her mentor, Vincent Foster, a brilliant attorney, subsequently committed suicide. If Hillary had been the nominee this year, the Republicans would have used the ghost of this mentor to haunt her candidacy. Hillary Clinton is not Barack Obama's best choice for VP.

Vote for Obama anyway??

NOT A CHANCE!

All the PUMAS and Hillary supporters who are willing to sell out their party and vote for McBush in a time like this, just to "get back at" a nation that voted for Obama, make me sick.

Sure, they will say that McCain is "the best choice" in their eyes now that their beloved Hillary is out of the race. But who really believes that after 8 years of Bush, another 4 years of his policies will be good for this country or the world? It takes a pretty sick mind to arrive at that conclusion.

And writing in Hillary is almost as bad. It's a tight race, and millions of spiteful Hillary supporters who won't wake up and face the reality that Hillary isn't going to be president could kill the race for Obama.

Oh, I get it. They both run equally divisive campaigns at any point, but Hillary is the nasty one... AND this comes from a woman. I hope you wake up and smell the coffee before it's completely charcoaled. All we need is women to continue treating eachother as badly as society treats us and we'll look to a future that's as male-dominated as now.

I am glad this is over. There are as many people who won't vote for Obama if she is on the ticket as there are if she is. It is Barack's time now.
Here comes the PUMA idiots. 3-2-1- begin your rants!

If Hillary is not on the ticket, McCain will win. The evil Republicans know how to win, by lying, cheating, swift boating, and creating fear to the swing voters.

Hillary Clinton was, and is, the best candidate for President since Franklin Roosevelt. The Democratic party and the American primary voters have blundered. Obama is a media concoction and in every way a parallel to Paris Hilton. Some of us have known this all along. It's a tragedy that others either haven't been able to perceive this or are sucked in by sea shells like Paris and Britney. Que puede hacer?

Since she will not be on the ticket, I will not vote for Obama. He is a empty suit, windbag, who is doing everything he can to place the race card. He is the anti christ.

Hey listen up. She won the East Coast, she won the West Coast, she won the South Coast and she won the great mid west. She should be the nominee. No question about that.

Now Is ludicrris's new song the change we can expect from the Obama supporters? It's a change, that I don't like at all. Why "dis" Hillary when she whipped Obama's butt in the coasts and in the mid west and New York. Yeah I know Obama won Idaho, but so did Larry Craig.

I hear the obam is threatening the life of American Hero John McCain? I just read a blog that said obamba was challenging John to a duel. obamba just can't help himself with his mega ego personality can he?

Barry also said he is related to Wild Bill, George Bush, Dick Cheney and a King of England and a host of others to probably include Osama himself. He just can't help himself. He is risky and I don't trust him.

bam may not be a Muslim, but he is no stranger in the Muslim Church.

He will raise your taxes and "dis" your values.

HRC is starting to look good as vice president Obama could sic her on MCbush and the rest of the RNC.

Without Hillary on the ticket, Obama will not win.

There never was a dream ticket. Obama never ever even considered her. Thats a fact! He was just blowing smoke to pacify Clinton supporters and it backfired. They arent voting for him. The retiring of her debt, was a joke, he didnt even mention it in serveral fund rasiers. He lies and flip flops.This party has deserted its key supporters, I no longer wish to be affiliated with them for their poor conduct during the primaries. I am now independent and still receive letters and emails from them. Too late!

FORGET OUT THESE TWO CANDIDATES. VOTE AMERICAN. VOTE CHUCK BALDWIN FROM THE CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY. HE'S FOR THE AMERICAN FAMILY AND AMERICAN WORKERS. AND HE WILL SECURE THE BORDER.

Lets move on in the name of party unity.Obama is gracious towards Hillary ,but unfortunately the damage Hillary did during primary is what John McSame is following but i have got news for him,it wont work not this year not this election.
OBAMA 08

She's just as worthless as Obama is on the economy. Who'd the hell vote for someone who doesn't want to add more oil supply to the oil demand?

We all knew that Hillary wasn't going to be Obama's VP. The DEM Convention is a few weeks away. Everything will be out in the open. Then Obama can put the peddle to the mental on McCain. So please stop trying to get Hillary's supporters riled up.

Well, congrats Obama, you've just thrown cold water on 18 million voters. Hope you won't end up needing 'em.

You just made this race a lot closer than it needed to be.

what a mess. we have to much sympathy for people who only think of themselves.

Clinton says to give Obama a chance–I've given him tons of chances, and he hasn't shown me anything yet. I'll keep waiting.

GO Hillary – Hillary 2012!
I will NEVER vote for Obama, he's such a joke... and he will surely lose

Here are the fake Hillary supporters trying to divide and confuse the electorate:

Marie in California
Lisa
Dem of NJ
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia in CA
Democrat No More/San Diego

also anybody claiming to be a member of PUMA.

Everybody please ignore these people.

Isn't it sad when you have to try to start fooling voters in order to win?

HE ISNT QUALIFIED. BUT HES YOUR NOMINEE. I WILL CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR CLINTON, AS A WRITE IN CANDIDATE, I DONT KNOW ANYONE WHO WAS GOING TO VOTE FOR HER WHO IS NOW VOTING FOR OBAMA? SOME ARE VOTING FOR MCCAIN. I WONT DO THAT. BUT I WILL LET NANCY PELOSI AND HOWARD DEAN KNOW HOW BADLY THEY HAVE HANDLED THE ENTIRE PROCESS BY VOTING FOR HC. GLAD SHES SPEAKING AT THE CONVENTION, SHE SHOULD. SHE GOT OVER 18 MILLION VOTES. BUT THAT WONT SWAY MY DECISION. EVEN IF SHE WAS VP CHOICE. I WOULD STILL NOT VOTE OBAMA.

There is a saying, "when you dig a hole, dig two" If someone plan to bring down another, it is best to prepare oneself for a fall too.

The method for that madness is that she tried to burry him (Obama) with her negative kitchen sink vendetta; now she wants to be on the same ticket, I don't think so.

I have never heard of someone crossing a bridge that was burned and in this caes, can't be repaired.

Another case in point is the Bush smirk...access of the eviler...

No Hillary, NO VOTE FOR BO. If he choses anyone else, my money will flood to McCain

Nancy – In my 40 years of being a registered Democrat you are right this was the nastiest primary and that it why I am not voting for Obama. No way I would want someone(Obama) like that in the WH.

"Do I want John McCain sending our soldiers off to more wars, giving Big Oil free rein to gouge us at the pump, and letting ideology overrule decisions that should be made on the basis of science and health?'"

---------------------------------

Wasn't it Obama that said he wanted to move the troops from Iraq to Afghanistan? Did he flip-flop again? I can't keep up with him because he changes his stance every day. Guess he won't be bringing the troops home like he promise when he was running against H. Clinton.

McCain'08

I am not voting for Obama unless he puts Clinton on the ticket even though I am a democrat. I hope he thinks twice about who his running mate will be!

Not sure how to take this.

Never a full Hillary supporter but I would have voted for her had the situation been reversed. I see her quality.

Whatever happens with Obama's decision, it is too important to the country that he be elected. The hopes of our children, even the growth of our soul as a nation depend on it.

united we stand divided we will fall. and thats' what old mcsame wants. be wise people, be wise.

CLINTON SUPPORTERS NEED TO GET ON BOARD AND STOP ALL THE NONSENCE SHE LOST IT'S OVER !!!!!!! (YES OBAMA CAN)!!!

I did not vote for Bill at all, and I did not see the need for another Clinton in office. On a different note. I have a lot of respect for Hillary, she ran a good race and proved that a woman and run with the best of the big dogs. You go GIRL! you make me Proud to be a woman in this world ran by men!

It saddens me to realize the Democratic Party was damaged and divided during the Primary Presidential campaign. It was a nasty primary and totally unnecessary for that kind of behavior. It caused GREAT damage. I was a Clinton supporter, but the Clintons ran a dirty campaign; therefore, I turned to Obama. I thought they were above that. Now, our party is definitely divided. Some will not vote at this most crucial time in history. It is very obvious that Mrs. Clinton should be the VP pick because she is a capable, intelligent, hard working, and smart woman, but the love lost between the two, or should I say four would make it impossible to trust. How sad. We could have wrapped this Presidential Election up easily with a big win had the Clintons kept the party in mind instead of their own personal ambition. In spite of all the pain and heartache this election caused, I still pray a win for the Democrats.

You all can stop hating on her now she is out of the running why don't you all find someone else to pick on. What I have read on these blogs lately has been shameful and it give merit to those who say women hate on other women it seems to be true we will claw and scratch at each other for because of envy. Leave Hillary alone. For those of you who keep talking about what Bill did or didn't do we has a surpluss when he was in office and his personal life is just that his personal life he ain't the first man to cheat and want be the last and some of you who are hating on Hillary probably has walked in her shoes.

Hillary divided her own party, if she was elected she would have divided our country also!!!

PUMA

Just enough lip service to satisfy the Obama campaign for the moment. The real big celebration will come when he looses in November. Don't you wish you could be a fly on the wall in thier house that night?

I never understood how someone could think that HRC would be a good choice for anything. She blew a commanding lead in the primary.
She went over budget, she ran a sinking ship full speed ahead.
She crunched numbers to show her approach in a favorable light.
To take a good look at her experience that she was so proud of, she ran just about everything she touched into the ground.

Oh please CNN, stop pretending you don't know already that Hillary turned down the Veep slot TWICE. Remember that little meeting at Dianne Feinstein's house?

Hillary knows better than to board the Titanic.

amen! now can we do something about those idiot PUMAs?

good gosh, get a life...

It seems to me that if you are a Democrat, you are a Democrat. However if voters cannot vote Democrat because they do not like the Democrat selected, in my mind they are not Democrats because they do not believe in they party's platform regardlesswho wins.

If this is the case, Democrats who think they should vote Republican or spoil ballots because they cannot have their way creates a very disfunctional electorate system.

Hillary's and Baracks platforms as indicated in the publications are about 99% the same, soit would appear that Democratic supporters are themselves playing the race/gender game.

A Democrat should be a Democrat.

A solution to this is get those who don't want to vote for the presuptive nominee. Start your own new flippin party and quit whining. You don't want toplay buy the rules, but have things your way. Go for it, get off your but tand create the PUMA party.

Tuesday will be "Womens' Night" at the convention. Nothing more than a warm-up for the "Main Events" later on during the week!

I wonder how much debt Hillary still has? Time is running out.....

Hillary I voted for Obama, but I still love you!!!!!!

Hilary 2016!!!

I just called Obama's campaign headquarters urging him to choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate. I am an Obama supporter and voted for him in my states primary but all of this recent speculation that he may pick Tim Kaine has me really worried. 18 million people voted for Hillary Clinton and I know for a fact that while most of these Hillary voters will vote for Obama, a few million of these 18 million are waiting to see if Obama puts Hillary on the ticket in order to make a decision. If Obama were to announce Hillary as his running mate you would instantly see Obama's poll numbers go up a few points vs McCain. Obama needs someone as his running mate with a lot of experience to help balance out the ticket. A lot of the more Conservative Democrats wont vote for him otherwise. I urge everyone reading this blog to call Obama's campaign headquarters at 866-675-2008 and express your views on this issue

Obama 08!

If Hillary is not picked for veep...........all our family will not vote for Obama.

Just a hypothetical question... If the sissies and little girls club called PUMA sabotage the elections this year thinking Hillary will run in 2012, what makes them think Obama wouldn't run again as well? And he'd beat her again. Bunch of fools.

Hillary supporters will vote for McCain in larger numbers than anyone wants to admit. We would rather have McCain for 4 years as opposed to Obama for 8. Obama and the media played every dirty trick possible against Hillary and we are not forgiving. Besides, we just don't believe in Obama's ability to lead this country.

My hopes are not dim... she is too good to ride this sinking ship. I can only hope that she will not be his vp... can't wait to actually hear that she turned it down!

I don't know why I am leaving a comment. This is about #25 and CNN will not publish if it is not pro Obama.

A lifetime Democrat that will never vote for Obama.

To many bad connections and to little experience. What really scares me is he always has a answer and has never faced a problem.

As big as his ears are you would think he would listen more and talk less.

Tony-Tx.

Why have two comments from the two o'clock hour been published but not mine from the twelve o'clock hour? There is certainly nothing inappropriate about my comment. Obviously, the folks who moderate these things are allowed to do so with an agenda. It's getting a little like FOX News around here... No wonder everyone complains about these comment boards!

What a quiet way to announce that Hillary is not the VP to reduce the effect of the expectation game. WOW! Obama you are just too smart! What were they thinking that Obama will add Clinton and mobilize the republicans? Or the Insults Obama got from a dynastic so called queen Hillary? No way the trust just isn't there any more and Hillary knows it. Obama did the right thing by allowing her to own a whole day at the convention and celebrate the success of female politicians in America. Isn't that nice of Obama after all the bitterness? Democrats UNITE.

Like she really wanted to go down in flames with that loser.

She still makes me ill!

I really hope the Hill supporters turn out in droves to unseat this arogant, elitist named BHO.

Maybe Hillary doesn't aspire to be Vice President. It's obvious she wanted the top spot. Why do people think she wants that position and keep forcing it on Obama. Leave Hillary alone to think of how she will clear her debt.

Hilary supporters, no matter how hurt we all are by her not getting the nomination, we need to look at the bigger picture. And that is we cannot afford another republican to lead this country.

it's unfortunate that it is not hilary. but barrack has something to offer. and he is close to what hilary stands for. the world is excited for us. let us do the right thing and give our support to this man. the country needs our support. set aside political loyalties. barrack is far better qualified to lead than mccain. john is simply too risky and dangerous.

thanks.

Does Clinton really think that Obama forgot about the dirty stuff she pulled during the Democratic Nominations campaign? After seeing all crap she did, I wouldn't have her as my V.P. either.

I have been a loyal Democrat for many years. But NO Hilllary I will vote for McCain as a protest vote against Arrogant Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

Hillary Supporters vote for a true American, McCain.

Thank God!

It's OK. I thought Hillary would make a fine VP, but it could be she really didn't want the job. No one runs for the VP slot. I'm sure whomever Obama picks will do a fine job.

Without Hillary, Obama may hold on and eke out a win in November.
Increasingly doubtful but possible.

With her, he wins in a walk.

A 'gamble' on a no-name VP candidate tells me a lot about Obama and his people.

Hillary is too far towards the center for them even at the risk of failure.

THIS will be his demise.

As a lifelong Democrat, I cannot pull the lever for Obama. It has nothing to do with his race, more to do with him as a person and a politician.

We cannot put a President in office because he gives a good speech, but has no convictions or solid positions on anything.

Once a man twice a child. Is it the old age or just another old politice MCcain is playing?

Why haven't him campaign about what he is goind to do and not to do for Americans?

Attacking Obama because McCain with his campaign staff have no new idea about how to help the economy .
Low wayward road will not win you election senator McCain.

It appears that HRC will likely be in Obama's cabinet perhaps as
Secretary of Health and Human Services nominee.

I predict that the VP nominee will be a congressman from the south (Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina) who currently is serving on the House Foreign, Armed Forces, Ways and Means or Veteran Affairs. Representatives John Tanner (TN), Joe Wilson (SC),
Jim Marshall (GA) would be good choices. Others that should be considered both Gus Bilirakis & Ron Klein (FL) and Adam Schiff (CA)

She said he wasn't qualified, what else do you need to know??

Obama is still going to pick Hillary as is running mate. The democrats are going to drop a bomb at the convention to dominate the press for the next 2 months. This is just a strategy to through of the McCain campaign and I think it's a good one if they pull it off.

She's got enough money, but I will never vote for her. That was the nastiest primary I have ever seen. NO way do I want someone like that in the WH.

Obama will never earn my vote. I am not a sheep!

Hillary needs to step up to the plate and run as an Independent. Get those two Bozo’s as far away from the White House as possible.

well i glad she is not going to be his vp choice. I would feel really bad voting against her in nov. hopefully she will be back in 2012 and i can vote for her then. dem voting republician this year

Michelle Obama said months ago that Hillary would not be Obama's running mate.

Usually I wish that you Dems would get out of my country so the rest of us can make it great again... But sometimes it is okay having you around.. Us real Americans need a good laugh from time to time.

You guys in the media are so one sided,how come it's only Obama that has to worry about warning signs in your one sided polls. McCain is the one behind, he should be the one worrying,wasn't he supposed to blow away Obama in Florida? In any event statr reporting the real news...that is McCain has no new ideas or solutions...just 4 more years of BUSH!!!! also How come my comments are always awiting moderation when they are factual and non offensive CNN??????????

Good Lord, I am sick of this man. I have never liked him and surely don't like him now. I will probably have to vote for him since I have no other choice, but I won't like it at all.

And before you call me racist, I am a black female Hillary supporter who wonders if maybe you guys might have now figured out that she was right ! He CANNOT beat McCain in November. You got sucked in by the rhetoric and forgot that we actually need someone to lead this country!

Maybe after November you'll all go back to rubbing/scratching those "chills running up your legs". For all the good it will do you.

I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR OBAMA WITHOUT HILLARY ON THE TICKET.... AT ALL-NO WAY– I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THAT THE MEDIA HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HIM AND THE WAY THE DNC LEFT HILLARY OUT ON HER OWN.....

I WON'T VOTE FOR MCCAIN OR OBAMA....

HILLARY 2012

I cannot wait until McCain is President so that he can tell Hillary and all of the other Dummycrats to shove their overpriced Healthcare plan up the wazoo!
The Democrats will tax us to death!
NObama.

Hillary and Barack probably would've joined together had it not been for Bill Clinton and Bob Johnson of BET (Booty Entertainment Television). I don't believe no sane person would trust him in the white house again and with due respect, he disrepected Obama in S.C. and allowed loud mouth Johnson of BET to disrespect him also. Obama had done nothing to these people but beat the pants off of them. The proof is clear because before Bills comment, he and Hillary enjoyed 48-50% of the black vote there and across the nation. After Clinton and Bob johnson's comments belittling him in reference to Jessee Jackson, the black support virtually disappeared. That's the proof that the Clinton's sealed their own fate. How could they expect to have a chance to get a VP seat after that? Black people might not have the economical strength that whites have but we won't give our support to those who hold contempt for us and graciously show it on top of that. Obama doesn't trust them and neither should Hillary's supporters. But her supporters pay no mind to the fact that the Clintons disrespected the entire Black community and the evidence that goes along with it. That's what tells me that they are very selfish and arrogant people with the same back-stabbing attitude as Hillary and Bill. Obama doesn't need that garbage and neither do we! She had her shot two times and blew them both. Who's fault is that?

here it is again, no HRC no vote! 18Million are watching.

Senator Hillary Clinton does not want or would not accept the VP slot. Why? Obama is going to lose!

Can I write in a candidate on the November ballot??? Because not a single one of the various party nominees is worth a plug nickel.

Since I'm not stupid, I won't be voting for this liar and major disgrace. obama stinks!!

It is time that the Hilary supporters get on the Democratic train and get off the Hillary train...support Obama !!

Bros before hoes Billary.

This is the "Campaign of the Brother, no others."

I think Michelle Obama coined that, LOL

Racist losers...............

I am a lifetime Democrat. For more than 50 years I have never voted against a democratic candidate. This time I can not accept Obama because of his lack of substance, arrogance and unclear political past. Obama, in my view, would be as bad or worse than Bush but at the other extreme. Our country does not need Obama after Bush- a recipe for disaster.

Hillary please stop supporting Obama that will lead our party to another defeat, just like the left has done so many times to us.

The ads

Obamas 90 % positive

McWar 1/3 negative remainder of McSanes ads are nothings just more dry hot Arizona air.
Can't wait to see a debate and I said "a" debate it will only take one to put McWar where he belongs he is so full of lies ,knows nothing ,jealous ,lacks everything from action to looks he is dry as a popcorn _ that old ___-en foggy Geezer will be hiding under the table .
The Nixon /Kennedy laughable debate will not hole a candle to how funny this one will be(They will need a block for a table so McWar won't have a place to hide) LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Much respect to the two founders of this group. They realize that while their ultimate goal was not meet the other one, Democratic Pres., is in reach and are willing to work for it. I hope that their supporters follow suit because they are more than welcomed!

VoteBoth-What a cop out. I am so angry with Obama. Why not Hillary? She's earned it! Obama BARELY made it across the nominee threshold. Be the bigger person and pick her. Nobody... NOBODY is more qualified than she. Get over yourself and be a 'bigger' person and surprise us all and pick her. Anyone else is doomed to drag you down, buddy. Now, I'm not a PUMA, but this signal is making their arguement(s) much more attractive.

In just one year Remember the election in 2006?
Thought you might like to read the following. A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.00 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember its Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.
Quote of the Day........'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the
history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change
it.' - Barack Obama
Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.
Taxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K – tax $8,400 Single making 30K – tax $4,500
Single making 50K – tax $14,000 Single making 50K – tax $12,500
Single making 75K – tax $23,250 Single making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 60K – tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75 K – tax $21,000 Married making 75K – tax > $18,750
Married making 125K – tax $38,750 Married making 125K – tax $31,250
Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates.
It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think
Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama is elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.

Never obama if no Hillary, period. He has to loss the election to realize women do count.

Queue the PUMAs and the HRC supporters who will now proclaim their anguish by supporting McCain – even though his politics are almost 180 from Hillary......

CNN not posting today! I'm sure there are a lot of comments out there.

Funny bit on Jon Stewart's show last night about how the Wolf Blitzer
uses his tricky verbiage to make McCanine look like a saint.

Corporate Media needs a Repuke in office in order to pay the saleries of folks like the Blitz.

Remember folks: Hillary WILL likely have a very influential place to serve in an Obama Administration. Maybe even a position BETTER than the VP slot.

THINK about this please. I DOUBT that Hillary will get the same from fMcCain.

Hillary to speak Tuesday night at the convention. I hope she doesn't beg me to vote for Obama. I will write her name on my ballot in November and sleep like a baby knowing I voted for the best possible person to be President. Obama is too arrogant and I can't stand Michelle at all.

I'm a former Hillary supporter, however Barack SHOULD have the right to choose whom ever he feels is right for him! Hill would make a great choice, however I'm really digging the Kaine idea!

Well, I am now a McCain supporter, if Hillary is not going
to be the running mate. The way that Obama is dropping
in the polls, he had better reconsider........or will his big
backers not allow it. He might have to really help the
people of America, if Hillary were to be his vice-president.
They don't want THAT!!!!!!

"Change is inevitable, growth is optional"

Obama 08'

It's a smart choice on Obama's part to include Hillary Clinton in his administration but not as his Vice President. She isn't entitled to anything more.

I am really glad to see that Clinton supporters are rallying behind Obama. Although I admire Senator Clinton and would have voted for her over any candidate except for Senator Obama, I believe that, now that Senator Obama has won, her supporters need to accept this, even if Senator Clinton is not chosen as VP.

I conclude with this reminder to supporters of Senator Clinton: Senator Obama's policy differences from Senator Clinton's are few and not enormous; Senator McCain's policy differences from Senator Clinton's are many and significant. Remember this when you go to the polls this November.

"To those who are hesitant to support Obama right now, we urge you to keep giving him the chance to earn your vote. We are confident he will," they wrote. "Because, when it comes down to it, even the most ardent Hillary-supporter must ask himself or herself, 'Do I want John McCain sending our soldiers off to more wars, giving Big Oil free rein to gouge us at the pump, and letting ideology overrule decisions that should be made on the basis of science and health?'"

Time to move to John McCain! PUMAS! No Clinton, then No OBAMA

I continue to be a Hillary supporter, but I don't want to see her on that loser ticket with Obama. She is too intelligent and too good for that. Her day will come again.... I believe the "real" change will come when Hillary is sworn into office. Obama is just more of the same... he has just bamboozled a lot of people into believing he is different.

LET OBAMA FALL ALONE HILLARY. HIS SUPPORTERS TRASHED YOU ,FAMILY AND SUPPORTERS ENOUGH. IF OUR COUNTRY GOES DEEPER IN TROUBLE IF O.B. IS ELECTED, EVERYONE WILL BLAME IT ON THE CLINTONS FOR HELPING. YOU CANT WIN NO WAY'S WITH O.B. LOOKING LIKE A MESSIAH TO HIS FOLLOWERS. O.B. IS A BIG JOKE ,AND A BIG MEDIA CLOWN. AMERICA GETS WHAT THEY ASK FOR. DONT GET INVOLVED WITH HIS BIG CIRCUS HILLARY. WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN . YOU WERE SWIFTBOATED BY THE DNC AND SUPERDELIGATES. THAT IS THE FACT.O.B. IS THE WORST SMOOTHEST CON MAN IN POLITICS I HAVE EVER SEEN.

I kept telling myself as a Hillary supporter that if she is the Number two on Obama's ticket he will get my vote. Now that the Dream Ticket is off the table I am throwing ALL of my support behind the experience of John McCain.

McCain 2008!!!

Dear DNC – and arrogant Senator Obama.............

No Clinton VP = No White House

Sorry boys....go play in South Chicago

they should have prepared themselves last february.

That's fine. My family and I are not considering Obama for election vote. There is no way Obama can win election without Hillary supporters and they will come out in big numbers to vote for McCain.

there was never a chance of this happening

only a foolish lefty would think there was

Hillary received almost half of the Democratic vote in the primaries. Does this not say she should be the next vp? The rest of the crowd are wek and if he picks a Governor(woman) he will definitely lose votes. He if picks on e of the good ole boys, he will prove he is a liar by not sticking by his claim of change.

Clinton could have won the election for Obama. These other guys he is considering don't bring anything to the table and do not impress me at all. This selection is so important because McCains choice for VP will likely to be much better and that will determine who will win the election- a lot of people don't like either Obama or McCain.

That's too bad. Looks like McCain will be the next president and it won't be because of my vote, either.

It really doesn't matter if Hillary is not considering the VP position, In reality the fact that is all over the news that there has been an ad referencing Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to Obama, I can only say that I would hope that Britney or Paris would be our president before electing a super boob like Obama. Way to go Hillary, stay away, stay far away!!!!!

I swear, if you PUMA's vote for anyone but Obama, then you truly don't care about the future of this country. Obama and Clinton are nearly identical, and the complete opposite of McCain – THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!

why are my comments STILL in moderation?

I was for Hillary and I will NOT vote for Obama. Anyone that says "I am
what the world is waiting for." is not mature enough to run the country.
Who does this guy think he is anyway. Just because he ran a campaign
(with lots of help of course) does not make him ready to for the oval
office. His self-love and cocky attitude has clouded his judgement
more than once. This election is for all of us, not just one person no
matter how large his ego. I am a Democrat and I will proudly vote
for McCain because after Hillary I feel he is the best choice and to all
those Obama lovers who say that is selfish I can only say it is smart.
I have a right to vote for the person I want. And it isn't because
he's black, I don't have a problem with that. I am voting for a
person, not a party. After all, neither party is perfect.

Hillary if you speak in support for this snake, OBAMA, expect us Hillary followers to leave you. IN THAT SPEACH YOU SHOULD THANK, OBAMA, KENNEDY, KERRY, PELOSI, DEAN, RICHARDSON, BYRD, THE MEDIA AND THE DNC FOR BRINGING DOWN YOUR CANDIDACY. Thank you DNC for opening my eyes to what a no MORALS & UNGODLY PARTY THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BECOME. HILLARY I JUST RECEIVED A CONTRIBUTE LETTER FROM BILL TO PAY OFF YOUR DEBT. I WILL HOLD ON THAT ONE TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER YOUR SPEACH. I STILL HAVE HOPES FOR YOU TO SEE THE LIGHT. IF IT MEANS LEAVING THE DEMOCRAT PARTY THEN MAKE THAT CHOICE. I for one will be an independent from this moment on. I can not speak for my fellow HILLARY SUPPORTERS but I pray they will feel the same as I and that is: NO WAY IN HELL COULD I EVER VOTE FOR SUCH A LYING, CONNIVING, CROOK, COCAINE USER, HOMOSEXUAL, TERRORIST, MUSLIM OBAMA. OF COURSE OBAMA SUPPORTERS EVEN THOUGH IT IS THEM WHO ARE RACIST WILL CALL ME ONE. THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND MY CHOICE IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK/WHITE MAN IT IS BECAUSE HE HAS NO MORALS OR NO KNOW HOW TO RUN A COUNTRY SUCH AS OURS.GO McCAIN 08

Good. Hillary 2012. Obama is going to lose. In a race this tight, Hillary's supporters are critical to Obama. I and my family will vote for MCcain this time, in hope that Hillary can win in 2012. I was a democrat. But, i think they need to accept the consequence of thier acts, and obama losing in 2008 will be thier lesson. And Hillary will come back in 2012. Unitl then, I stay as an independent, refuse to donate a single dollar to the party.

Anyone elso notice that alot of the demacrats that back
Barack Hussain Obama, do alot of name calling. What is the average age of Barack Hussain Obama supporters fifteen. There was one who posted here (from a eastern state) The post said "I can't believe all these people vote for Mccain,Americans are idiots" What is funny is that person is from the US. Its pretty why Barack Hussain Obama will LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear it. Hillary's one of the greatest senators this country has ever known. It's a shame that he experience, intelligence, and charisma won't be put to use for the Democrats.

I think this has been the reality for some time.

While Hillary Clinton has her advantages, she also has high negatives and it seems to me that she and Barack would have a hard time working together. I wish her all the best, though.

He lost my vote when he went golfing instead of listening to Hillary give her historic speech.

He will lose the general election not only because of his supreme arrogance but because he never earned those of us who supported Hillary's confidence in his judgment or leadership.

No way in the world this democrat will vote for a guy that is not ready, inexperienced, and for all I know, someone that cares about nothing but his own political gains!!! The DNC will live to see the fatal mistake they made by not supporting Hillary Clinton, since no matter how many faults they saw in her, she was still the superior candidate that would have defeated McCain in the general election and would have taken back the White House. Now we have to wait until 2012 to see who our candidate will be and perhaps then we will have a chance at taking back the White House. Barack Obama is a joke of a candidate and although may have brought some smiles to some faces, he will bring a lot of tears come November!!!!!

Hillary if you speak in support for this snake, OBAMA, expect us Hillary followers to leave you. IN THAT SPEACH YOU SHOULD THANK, OBAMA, KENNEDY, KERRY, PELOSI, DEAN, RICHARDSON, BYRD, THE MEDIA AND THE DNC FOR BRINGING DOWN YOUR CANDIDACY.

Anyone who knows anything about politics would have known this would be the outcome all the way back in March.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!~! OMG....i have Obamas speech on my computer and Mccain on tv.... listening to both, Obama is talking about policy. McCain, well he is talking about Obama and using his same old talking points. if you notice Mccain says the same things the same way....he lacks authenticity. it is like watching a bad rerun. McCain said "nothing has mattered more to me than serving the country...i will always put the country first" ....no matter what. wait if that is true, if as he says NOTHING will come above the country, his person or anything else, then why after 4 days of being captured in Vietnam did HE GIVE UP MILITARY INFORMATION... his fellow POWs even said that they NEVER saw McCain tortured, in fact they said it was highly unlikely.... Mccain is a fraud, he is NOT a hero...he!! he REFUSES to release his Military record....now i don't think everyone who is not voting for Obama is a racist...however 65% polled did say race IS a factor. America...the stakes are to high for Mccain to be POTUS

I can still remember during the primaries when Dennis Miller attacked Hillary Clinton viciously on one of the TV shows. Now he says he is for McCain. Obviously he was all along. The republicans just thought they had a better chance agains Obama and wanted Clinton out of the picture. They would freak if she came in as VP.

Lets Go Dems!!!!!

Based on Obama Bin Ladin's campaign, he has no respect for Hillary. The only thing he likes about Hillary is her vast following of voters. He will hold the hopes of helping her pay her debt over her head until he has sucked as many voters out of her as he can.

I only hope that enough people will realize that this election is not about the person pushing the policies, but about their policies. When the MSM treats political coverage the same way TMZ covers celebrity gossip though, it seems that the focus is on the personalities not policies.

John McCain is not sending anyone off to war you stupid liar. obama is trash and should never be elected to anything in this country. I'll never vote for that racist pig and his wife.

Unity 08.

Is this really a surprise to anyone. I would have been upset if he had made her the VP. He can do better with his VP decision!!

Obama '08

If the older/wiser Americans come out to vote, BO doesn't have a prayer. In no way would smart Americans vote for a person just because he is a rock star, has no resume, has no intelligible base culture or beliefs, promises to ruin corporations and wealthy people, promises to lower US standards to equal Europe's, No Iraq, No republicans (half of the country), no drilling to ease the oil situation, etc. Bo has nothing to offer but rock stardom and screaming German Marxists and Black Panthers to support our country's need for him.

The Clintons seem hesitant to actually DO something to help him get elected. All for one and one for all s long as they are named Clinton it seems. Maybe the third party I have been looking for will come from the Democratic side?!?!

To all those so-called-Hillary supporters who saw they were for Hillary, now they are for McCain.

Any one who says they used to be for Hillary and is now for McCain has no creditability. And Frankly from the trite comments lacking substance I concluded either they are :
(1) republicans at heart;
(2) emotionally disturbed from the trauma of their candidate losing and still harbor bad feelings;
(3) they have very personal reasons that are uncomfortable of divulging, such as for example they do not like people who are not from New York or younger then 60. etc..; or
(4) they have a deep seated emotional need to support a losing candidate.

I just hope there's no regrets come Nov....I now blv BO not picking Hilary is out of arrogance. I can't vote for either McCain or Barack so I'll be staying home. Good luck Barack, you'll need it.
Clinton 2012

Obamas' arrogance will bring him down. Once people really listen to what he has to say, the less they like him. We already know we must tighen our belts. We already know gas mileage is improved with less driving. DUH.. We don't need this arrogant person in the White House, we just had 7 years of that. He plays the race card everyday. Why does he have to mention the fact he looks different from other candidates. If that isn't racist, what is? The only difference is the color of his skin. He is, as Rev. Wright pointed out, a typical politician. I bet he dreams of his face on Mt. Rushmore. Such arrogance I have never witnessed before. I will write Hillary on my ballot in November and that is one less vote for either of them.

Guess I'll be voting for McCain. So not voting for the Koolaid man without Hillary as VP. First time I'll have voted for a Republican since I was 18... O well. So be it.

I don
t understand why Hillary backers are so concerned with the VP slot. I think that Hillary would serve a mucher greater deal to the cause as a member of Obama's administration, i.e. in health care.

Voting for McCain as a means of protest for obama's nomination is clearly voting against Hillary's political interest and, eventually, against herself, as she would not be able to be a part of America's next government (if McCain wins).

Think it over, PUMA's, or however you want to be called. You are Democrats, right? If you don't like Obama – fine. If you don't like the Democrat party – fine. But if you stand for democratic principles, then there is absolutely no way you can justify voting for McCain.

Well, thank heaven for 7/11. The last thing Barack needs is the added noise of Billary. McCain's desperation attacks with the Paris Hilton and Britney Spears shots would be CandyLand compared to what could be worked up with the Clintons available for comment. Let's try oval office antics, the Vince Foster post-death office shenanigans, the call for less-healed worshipers to pay off self-inflicted debt, especially after the release of Billary's tax records. It'd be like the fox in the henhouse, take your pick. And, there'd be a lot more.

Not what Barack needs. I'd still like a Obama-Edwards ticket.

Americans is deep trouble.

McCain in the Office is scary.

Obama in office is even scarier. At least McCain, even on his senile days, would make a better qualified candidate.

That's how bad Obama is.

The only reason why Obama supporters bashed Clinton supporters was because of their unyielding irrationality in their support for their candidate and threats to support McCain instead. It's nice to see Clintonites coming back to their senses and realizing the biggest threat facing our country is not foreign, its another Republican term in the White House. Welcome home former PUMAs.

Just anohter bad political decision by Obama. It's called being arrogant and stupid.

no clinton?

NOBAMA

I pray everyday that Barack Obama gets elected....I am an independent moderate who leans more liberal and I do not think that Obama is the Messiah but I do think he has the most intelligenent things to say, more intelligent than what I've heard in a while from any politician....say what you want about his arrogance and celebrity but you know what people who follow Obama are not robots....if this many people are impressed by him it cant be a fluke....a fluke to me is a guy like W being president....I'd much rather have a constitutional scholar as the president than Rambo.

Not an Obamabot....just a concerned American

Hillary will work hard in helping the Democrat team take back the White House and bring heathcare to everyone!

Yes WE Can!! Democrats UNITED are unstoppable!!

She lost, that's what happened. Hillary deserves to take a break, let her have some space and time off.

I'm writing in Hilary's name on the November ballot. I live in MA so my vote won't count anyway – I plan to make a statement about the way the DNC ran the primary.

Pumas, NFIL, etc. should consider doing the same thing so that next time we have a fair primary that will give us at least one candidate we can vote for in good conscience.

If HRC was to be the no.2 then the whole idea of Obama's slogan 'change' would be absolved given the clintons have once been in the same office.

Thank you for your service to the country, Senator.
And thank you to your supporters who understand that taking the White House is the most important thing to do in 2008.

Obama needs to pick a VP who stands for what Obama has stood for. Clearly that was a large part of the conflict between Obama and Clinton.

Clinton would not be the best choice for him to make. She might bring a lot of votes but she would also drive away a lot of votes.

There are better choices strategically and it's crucial that the Republicans be removed from the White House for a while.

Yes that´s correct,Mccain lack wisdom and ideas. This is the time to tell American voters how he will handle the near inflation in the country,high gas prize,foreclosures,health care ,education,uneployment,wek dollar,Iraq war etc.

Please tell us what you will do for America not where Barack Obama have gone wrong.

Obama visited Berlin,he never invited 200,000 people to come and see him and never german government did. And he don´t have the right to fall back upon seeing the crowd. Is not his choosen to address this mutitude of people,rather they choose to see him speak

Mccain and his fellow fools should be happy this number of people came out to greet there own natioanl at this time in history when hatred is the order of the day.

I beleive wall street is not drunk neither bush,rather the American voters are the real drunk. They have started drinking again as they did in 2004,by november 4th they must have been drunk enough to vote Mccain,then turn around to blame Rove,Rumsfied,Cheney and who else.

The choice is clear. IT IS EASY TO REVERSE 8 YEARS DAMAGE ,BUT WILL BE MOST DIFFICULT TO DO SAME AFTER 12- 16 YEARS OF GOP POLITICAL SCAM. BE WARNED...........

DEVINE VOICE.

About time that people started to realize that the VP pick is a choice. They need to join Obama and support him. If he does well she will have a high position in his admin. without a question.

Well, that is it. I like McCain though I always vote for a Democrat. I was excited about the so called dream ticket and was planning to vote for the dream ticket but now that the dream ticket is not a reality, I am voting for McCain

Wow, I see it has finally penetrated the skull.

Mr Obamas blunder in the making right here. The same path Gore took with the results that we all paid dearly. He, who has spent only four years in the senate, is handicapped by his inexperience and acting arrogant could also harm his chances. He is already struggling to identify himself with America whites, Latinos and other groups. The DNC choosing the candidate for us while taking votes away and manipulating the results of the primaries; there after living millions of us wondering about the name "Democratic Party".

The is simply NO WAY I will vote for Obama without Clinton on the ticket.

I am a liberal – but I will use my vote this November where it counts, in building a three party system for this country. I'm voting Green.

Obama and McCain are both full of hot air – and I'm tired of it.

"Change we can believe in.." Whatever.

There are some commentators who say that Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius may be a bad choice because Gov. Sebelius is an attractive woman and having her stand next to Barack Obama would make them look like a couple.

This would anger white males, who don't like the idea of handsome black men stealing their attractive white women.

Hillary Clinton as Barack's running mate clearly would NOT have this same problem. White males would probably think "they can have Hillary, heh, heh, heh."

Who cares about Obama? Clinton Dems support Cynthia McKinney in 08!

Well, that's too bad. Senator Obama is no longer under consideration for my vote and my entire large family.

GET OVER IT OBAMA!!!

I don't know. There is a lot about Obama I flat out don't like or respect him for. Having Clinton on the ticket with him would have smoothed some of that. Him choosing one of the boring white guys or some other female that doesn't bring half as much to the ticket only makes me angry and think that there is bad blood between them, or that he thinks he must have a white guy on the ticket to win. I suspect that his numbers dropping in the polls since last friday are probably others coming to the same conclusion – that Clinton will not be on the ticket. I am still waiting to see if I am wrong. If Clinton is not on the ticket- I will vote for the other guy. I don't care who the other guy is or what he represents. He did not call me a racist like Obama did.

In response to the final quote of this article: "'Do I want John McCain sending our soldiers off to more wars, giving Big Oil free rein to gouge us at the pump, and letting ideology overrule decisions that should be made on the basis of science and health?'" From a former life-long democrate, the answer is unequivocally, YES, ideology must overrule all voting decisions for those who believe in the fundamental right of one person-one vote...a pipe dream that used to be our democratic way of life. Alas, our all-knowing, market-driven DNC and their media side show have been driving this bus from the beginning. Despite being the superior and otherwise obvious choice, Hillary Clinton has been trashed – a former First Lady mind you. White guilt is the order of the day – race trumps gender, and it seems easy to trash mouth gender with no consequences in this country. It is for these reasons I vote McCain in Nov. Not voting him, but voting against the policies of my former party.

I'm sure Michelle Obama is the happiest woman in the World.

I respect Hillary so much, but she doesn't own my vote!

I just heard on the news that Obama is playing the race card again. He said something like that McCain trying to scare you because I don't look like the picture on the dollar bill. Give me a break. We went thru this with Hillary and here we go again. As the old saying goes I've been around the block a time or two and he does not fool me – what white guilt. CNN again you will not print my comment.

OBAMA A BIG FRAUD, LIAR, IGNORANT AND LOT MORE
POEPLE WILL REGRET TO VOTE FOR THIS MAN..ALL HE WANT IS TI GET TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

LET HIM GO BACK TO CHICAGO THAT WERE HE BELONGS...

MCAIN

ABOUT OBAMA:

1. Everybody who is NOT a snob senses that something is not exactly O.K. with that so called "New Politician".
I see him like my doughier: tells me exactly what I would like to hear.

I think that Guy and his gang had studied the social behaviour in USA long before had started the elections and they simply manipulate us very effectively!
Simply: DO NOT TRUST HIM!!!!

2. No offence, but am I correct that OBAMA is very much supported and loved by HOMOSEXUALS?

/ Not because I do not respect them as human beings/

3. His color is NOT my concern but his attitude : HE IS ARROGANT!
e.g. Is it appropriate a future President to chew a gum walking as a peacock at front of the cameras?

4. If he is "sooo gifted" and almost genius, what he had done for 45 years before the beginning of that election?

WE ARE MANY YEARS LATE & 10 TRILLION DOLLARS SHORT

TO TURN THIS NATION AROUND. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO

BE CAUGHT IN THE POLITICS OF HATE, SLANDER & BIGOTRY

WHILE OUR ECONOMY IS TAKEN APART. ELECTING MCMORON

A MAN THAT WORKS ON THE NONEXISTENT ISSUES OF

NONEXISTENT NATIONS & CALLS PUTIN THE PRESIDENT

OF GERMANY, WOULD BE A GRAVE LUNACY OF OUR OWN.

Obama is smart not to pick Clinton in my opinion. He needs someone to strenghten his foriegn policy experience. Sure a Obama/Clinton ticktet would be good for winning some votes or states, but it is not the right choice.

Obama
Biden
2008

The day Obama picks his VP is the day we will know our next President.

If it isn't Clinton as VP, McCain will be our next President.

Yeah so please get your supporters to stop spamming hate messages just because their hotshot didnt make it, please please please stop the whining. Back Obama, show you have a HS education atleast, and lets move on with our lives. Either that or we can wait till the last car bomb goes off in the middle east....which apparently is the Republican strategy, atleast a few of us have a clue how long thatd take, wait McCain came pretty close....100 yrs. anyway thanks for closing comments after 5 secs of it opening. GW

not a chance, sorry SENATOR CLINTON, WE WILL VOTE FOR SENATOR MCAIN,

OBAMA WILL BE THE WORSE CHOICE FOR THE UNITED STATE..

MCAIN09

the only thing thats fading is BO or as he will be known BOOWHO. You dis'd the one person that could have gotten Barack to the White House now your in a politcal fight for your life. Maybe Barack should run for Chancellier of Germany , although they have had prior experience with self annointed wouldbe'z....:-(

If Hillary is not on the ticket my wife and I are sitting this one out.

These are the TRUE Hillary supporters. You can tell because they use common sense unlike the PUMA's. I think it's clear to everyone that the PUMA's are actually repugs because they reference the same talking point memos that the RNC hands out. You would think they would at least try and not use the same wording.

I am fine with this, actually was hoping it would not be offered and even if it were that she would refuse.

PUMA PAC – Never forget what we are standing for. It just kills me to see the Obama thugs threaten us that if we spoil it for Obama then they won't back Clinton in 2012... guess what?? You've already spoiled it for Hillary – WAKE UP, THE DAMAGE IS DONE. Now, we are doing our best to spoil it for your creep of a candidate. Since the very beginning (well over a year ago).. I wasn't going to back Obama boy because he's not done anything to prove he's qualified at all.

WE MUST SHOW THE DNC , THE MEDIA AND THE OBAMA THUGS THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE HOW THEY SAY WE SHOULD VOTE.

McCain '08 – NEVER OBAMA

I guess Michelle veto her as VP because Hillary would have outshine her. Well there goes my vote. McCain is looking better everyday. I believe he will get our troops out of Iraq.

I'm glad, she doesn't need to be VP under a failed president if
Obama wins.
She's a winner, not a looser.

Did you hear that Puma people? or are you tone deaf?

Hillary backer are not real about change if they vote or stop mcCain from a third Bush term. He have been wrong iraq because Bush is
now shorting the troop time in iraq. Hillary trying to force her on the
ticket. Look at I 'll economy McCain have know ideal how to help us
with gas,food and everything else that is hurting this country. I think
we all should Obama a chance for change,if he do bad he want be
re-elected. Don't let race be an issues here ,Kathleen Sebelius should
be the vp.

PUMA,is a huge group of organizations,and this little group may be content with a different arrangement,but the rest of us want the Candidate that garnered the largest popular vote in the History of Primaries. We want Hillary Clinton for the Dem. Nomination,or we are going McCain. We were betrayed by the super-delegates,and we intend to give them the opportunity to make amends,but if it fails,it is hello McCain.

To all you HRC supporters:

We all need to band together and vote Senator McCain into office. He is a very moderate fiscal conservative whom the Dem. controlled Congress can work with. He will be a one term President and then we can vote in HRC in 2012!

If Senator Obama wins then Senator Clinton will never get another chance!

All you who have doubts about Senator Obama please consider Senator McCain. He really is the best choice since Senator Clinton is no longer available.

7/29 was the 41 anniversary of the tragedy aboard the USS Forrestal. a day where 134 crewmen where killed and another 161 wounded. some reports indicate that John Mccain wet started his Sky Hawk, which led to a series of explosions. the brave men of the USS Forrestal fought for some 20 hrs to contain the blaze. John Mccain was immediately transferred to another ship the USS Oriskany (the only Forrestal crewman to be immediately transferred). A few month later John McCain would get shot down and captured by the Vietcong, he had by his own admission while being a POW gave up Military information to the enemy, garnishing McCain with the nickname…SONGBIRD. in 1973 returning home McCain would soon start having an affair with Cindy Lou, his now second wife. his then current wife Carol, who was a model at one point and the mother of his first children was in a car accident which left her dis figured. Mccain left her to marry Cindy 1 month after the divorce was final…thin ink had not dried. using Cindy's vast fortune McCain got into politics. he had risen from scandals including Keating 5 to reports of an affair with a lobbyist. Now John Mccain wants us to vote for him….i think NOT. i could not in good conscience vote for a man who graduated 894 out of 899, has 59 lobbyist working on his campaign ,1)Wayne Berman- chevron 2)Frank Donatelli-EXXON 3) Eric Burgeson-BP 4)Rabecca Anderson- Sunco 5) CHARLIE BLACK-OCCIDENTAL PETROLIUM 6)Nancy Pfotenhauer-KOCH (who is looking tattered defending McCain) 7) Randy Scheunemann-BP Amco….to name a few. who will do or say ANYTHING to get a vote, offers NO solution only attacks, has that kind of temper, finds the only answer to a problem is WAR. i know you don't have the guts to post this CNN, but the American people need to know the truth about this man.
the media is still covering the 2000 Mccain, who has been LONG GONE. start doing your job CNN- so America does not make its biggest gaffe in 8 years.

I don't care about Clintons unity speech. She is only doing what the party told her to do which I don't understand because they royally screwed her over.

There is no unity with or without Clinton behind Obama. He is dividing the country since a lot of sensible people won't follow his cult. We are civilized as opposed to his followers.

They are a bunch of thugs. I have seen the violence and he of course does not see what his supporters are doing. Heck, he did not even know what kind of church he attended for 20 years, how would he see what these animals are doing in the million year campaign we have going?

Hillary will be Secretary of State. Bank on it.

Hillary didn’t lose the primary , With the support of the democratic party and media pundits Obama steal the nomination
We will never vote for Obama
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

Too bad–she probably beats McCain–
Obama has no prayer-
Too Arrogant-Thinks too much of Himself-Believes he is better than all of us–
THis should have been a humbling experience for him but instead he has grown more arrogant–
It started withose comments in San Fran-About GUNS and RELIGION–
Just remember –more Americans live in RURAL America then in Cities-
They could care less about Blogs–
I'd rather have a war hero who has shown CHARACTER then a good talker who has shown none -anytime

That's good news for me. I do not want Hillary in any way tainted by Obama's general election campaign or God forbid his precidency. Stay far away girl and pay those debts by yourself.

McCain 2008
Hillary 2012 !!!!

"Because, when it comes down to it, even the most ardent Hillary-supporter must ask himself or herself, 'Do I want John McCain sending our soldiers off to more wars, giving Big Oil free rein to gouge us at the pump, and letting ideology overrule decisions that should be made on the basis of science and health?'"

Obama just wants to shift the war from Iraq to Afghanistan. In less than 2 months, he flipped on NAFTA, FISA, and pulling troops out of Iraq in 16 months. Feel a breeze, and watch him shift directions – that's what happens when an inexperienced person listens to opposing experts. I will never support him.

Hillary – Experience trumps all and you were our only shot. Even as the #2, American Families had a chance at recovery. Unfortunately if Obama doesn't have the foresight to see that simple fact, we can't trust him with 4 more years as an inexperienced President. Our troops will be home in 16 months. Thanks to T.Boone Pickens we'll finally have what no Democratic or Republican President and Congress failed to provide over my past 40 yrs, affordable alternative energy.

If the then Republican lead Congress, in 2006, hadn't allowed Hedge fund speculating companies to own Oil Futures, our gas prices would still be at $2.50 a gallon. Wow, listen to me, when as a boy, gas was $.25 per gallon.

So I guess the answer is: Experience at the Top, with John McCain and a check and balance Democratically run Congress = Food on the table, gas or hydrogen in the tank and a new home outfitted with either Solar or Wind power generated electricity.

Please try again in 2012!

He will?! He has earned our support. While I would support Clinton as VP (if that is the best judgment by the Obama campaign) and would have supported her as a presidential candidate, I'm saddened by all of Hillary's supporters (including herself and her husband) who think McCain is better than Obama. You are fooling yourselves into four more years of misguided government. You are fooling yourselves into thinking that only Hillary could lead us out of this mess (just as you claim us Obama supporters think it's only him that can lead us. Truth is, it's a whole bunch of people with a capitol D next to their names and several with an R). Obama can and will bring us together. But your obstinance may hand things over to McCain.

Obama is riding Hillary like seabiscuit, or like the concerts he puts on to attract the crowds before his speeches.

It's a hit and run though... once Obama is done riding Hillary hard, his campaign will hang her up wet.

It's just same old politics, except this one lies and says he doesn't play that.

NOBAMA

It really doesn't matter any more!

It's a good thing that she's not No. 2. It won't work with Hillary and Bill in the White House. She'll play a HUGE role in the administration however, or could be even more important in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader perhaps? I'd take her over Reid.
Oh, and you Dems and Independents.... don't worry about polls in late July/early August. They mean absolutely nothing. I still have faith in the American people that they won't give George W. Bush and all his miserable, bankrupt, divisive policies a THIRD term by electing John McCain. McCain is the latest in the line of lying, negative, attack-dog Republicans who we just can't allow to hold the Oval Office. I think it would be the end times for our great country if he's president.

AS A FORMER DEVOUT REPUBLICAN, I URGE BOTH

PARTIES, REPUBLICAN & DEMOCRAT, TO COME TO

THE AIDE OF THIS GREAT NATION. WE ARE IN DEEP

TROUBLE. THE OIL COMPANIES & THE WAR BENEFITING

CORPORATIONS, THROUGH BUSH-CHANEY & MCBUSH

ARE TARING THIS NATION APART.

IT IS CRITICAL WE PUT AN END TO IT IMMEDIATELY.

Well, the Democrats blew another election.

Obama is wise like ABRAHAM LINCOLN ,people should respect his choice of running mate VP.His vp has to be some one who commands his trust &of the people ,nothing to do with Hillary,she should now support him whole heartedly ,she has no chance in 2012,it will be OBAMA'S SECOND TERM

An effort that should never have been started. But nice try, though. Now, let's work to defeat McShame and those crooks on the other side of the isle!

I didn't think he had the guts to put a strong woman on his ticket. She would outshine him. If she would have been on the ticket I would have voted for her. Now I don't have a reason to vote for him the arrogant inexperience rock star. I don't think she wanted it anyway and I didn't want her to be his VP. It will probably be Kaine who is pro-life and just as inexperience as him.

Hillary – will all due respect the question America has to asked itself is do we want another inexperienced person in the White House for 4 more years?

You showed during the 90's a focus and dedication to our president far beyond that of any president or presidential candidate in modern history. During the past 17 months you showed the experience needed in the White House again.

You might call me a 'Regan Democrat' because outside of Bill, President Regan is the last person in office that had the experience and dedication to put the American people 1st and Big Business 2nd.

Unfortunately Obama is neither experienced nor a known commodity so alot of us were praying he'd have the intellect to nominate you for his #2.

Given the choice – Experience trumps Inexperience, McCain trumps Obama and we know our troops will be home in 16 months.

As far as the price of oil, if the then (2006) Republican lead Congress hadn't allowed Hedge fund/speculators to purchase oil futures we'd all still be paying $2.50 a gallon. Wow, listen to me, when I was a boy, gas was $.25 per gallon, in the past 40 yrs both Democratic and Republican lead White Houses or Congresses haven't done a thing to eleviate the energy mess. Horray to T.Boone Pickens, thank you for finally stepping in to help America. Hey, aren't you an 'oil man' *smiles*

NO VP HILLARY, NO VOTE, BARACK!!! IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. I'LL STAY AT HOME AND RAKE LEAVES ON ELECTION DAY INSTEAD.

Thank God !!!

I would not have voted for Obama if Hillary were on the ticket !

18 million people voted for Obama, Not Hillary and we Don't want her or her problems !

He may steal the nomination but he will not win the election.
The people of America are not stupid and will not vote for an
unproven, unAmerican candidate whose goals are mired to
the policies of Socialism and Big government with high Taxes.

He (Obama) is opposed to drilling for oil on our own lands. He wants
higher taxes on everyone that works. He wants healthcare that
doesn't work in any country and paid for at our expense.

Wake Up America and Vote for McCain. A Patriot we can trust with
America. GO McCain 08,,, Hillary in 2012.

This country dodged a bullet not having Hill Dog as the democratic nominee. She couln't manage her campaign finances so I shudder to think how she would have done with the fragile economy of this country.

Now she has an EVER GROWING campaign debt even with all the post primary fund raisers to help her. She wouldn't believe us when we told her to get out...said she was just being discrimated against because she is a woman. What a joke she turned out to be.

About this ever increasing debt....is it just possible that she wasn't real honest with us about how much she owed? Maybe she just misunderstood or just misspoke like you know in Bosnia. When it got really bad, she would just get her old checkbook out and loan herself some more money WITH INTEREST. Thought all her rich special interest groups would refill Clinton coffers after she won the Presidency. After she LOST the nomination, she expected the rest of struggling Americans to pay her debt. What a joke she is and what a disgrace to the rest of us strong American women she turned out to be.

Yeah...we really dodged a bullet with this one.

The Republicans say: We have George W. Bush, Stevie Wonder, Bop Hope and Johnny Cash.
And the Democrats say: We have Obama, no wonder, no hope and no cash !!!

==============HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

==========================Enough

===========helllooooooooooooooooooo

=============this is the """GENERAL"""" election time========

============stupid cnn the primary election is Over========

She would be a good choice. But with her as VP he'd always be looking stupid because she is so much better qualified.
He won't pick someone who will continually upstage him because of his lack of knowledge and expertise.

She'll have to settle for Secretary of State or some other post.

IT IS A SHAME THAT HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT BEING
CONSIDERED AS A VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BY
SENATOR OBAMA. I QUESS SENATOR OBAMA IS NOT
WILLING TO BE PRESIDENT. ACTUALLY, HE NEED HER ON
THE TICKET. AS YOU ARE SEEING NOW, MCCAIN IS
BEGINNING TO CLOSE THE GAP. BELIEVE ME, HE NEEDS
SENATOR CLINTON TO BECOME PRESIDENT..............

Its the VP.....The VP, who cares? She will be the most powerful person in the Senate. As VP she would be cutting alot of ribbons and disapear into Vice Presidential darkness.

You Hillary supporters might as well face that Nancy Pelosi does not want competetion and Obama is her puppet.

Don't you think if Barack chooses Hillary as his running mate, that we would have a much better chance of taking back the Whitehouse? I certainly do, I do not think I would vote for Barack, but if he has Hillary at his back, I will certainly vote. I do not think America can live with another republican at the helm, sinking us further into the abyss.

Dah...VP doesn't fit Hillary...she has her own agenda

just write in her name for President when you go to vote

When he loses in November, I hope this mistake haunts Obama all his life.

So that means on Tuesday night Hillary will again get up on the stage with her big mouth and lying ways. I won't be watching that. I'm glad she's not on the ticket. She needs to just go away. I don't like either choice I have for President. I won't vote for Obama because we can't afford his new taxes and universal healthcare which would put us in a third-world healthcare crisis. We need change but not the kind he proposes of socialism and taxing us to death. Also his plans for amnesty would be a disaster for America. He talks the talk but I don't think he can walk the walk in a way that benefits all of legal Americans.

The bottom line is that you don't want to add a candidate who is $30 million in debt, and whose supporters give her lip service by claiming to support her politically but not by opening their purses or wallets.

Except for the few hundred men-hating lesbians and 14 year old girls of all ages and both sexes who constitute the PUMA idiots, the rest of the Democratic party will fall in line after the convention.

Quite honestly, Clinton can be far more effective in other roles within an Obama cabinet. The Vice President job – unless you're Dick Cheney – is largely a ceremonial role that doesn't offer the same possibilities that high-level cabinet positions offer. So objectively speaking, I think Clinton backers should be focussing on where Hillary can be most productive and effective. This is a good thing....

her shoddy campaign ,deciet & aftermath vigilante supporters ruined it !!

I respectfully disagree on our next course of action. If Senator Clinton does not come out of the convention as our nominee, we must stand our ground and voice our objections to the Democratic Party for their behavior in this primary race.

The Democratic Party has abandoned us. They are counting on the people of this country to vote Democratic anyway, in spite of the irresponsible behavior of the Democratic party leaders.

I hope the people of this country will stand tall and tell the Democratic Party that if they betray our party beliefs then they do not deserve our support.

Our votes are our own. There are millions of us Democrats who will vote for John McCain. For those undecided voters, please consider the consequences of supporting a "selected" nominee before you vote for Obama. Standing up for what is right is not easy but it is the right thing to do. Vote for McCain in November!

well will see we need someone strong to shut that old man.

"Oh my gosh!!! Obama's gonna let Hillary have a whole night to herself?? He's sooooo aaaarrogant!!!"

(end sarcarsm)

bye bye billary! no vp for you.

The facts are no woman with an ounce of self respect will vote for McCain because of his record of voting down any initiatives towards helping the status of women. The latest being his refusal to vote for the bill that would insure women doing the same job as men should get the same pay.

Then any veterans or active military personel would have to be right out of their minds to support McCain as he has consistently voted against almost every initiative that would give them a decent Bill of Rights.

hillary and bill should consider creating their own party. the country is ready for a third serious party. staying in this party is a lose lose situation for them. if obama wins he will do everything he can to undermind their legacy. if he loses he will blame it on the clintons. win or lose obama spells disaster for the democratic party. his background is tainted with unsavory charachters that he having superior judgement must accept the responsability for.the more the media moves away from him the more people feel uneasy towards him. i still would like cnn to ask him to explain his remarks in the people's magazine, about him not buying his children christmas or birthday gifts. what kind of father does that/

Time to call Dandy Don. Now they will blame the lost on him for not picking Hillary when the whole time we know that he will not win because he is not white. Race is everything in this country. If not why do I hear them talk about the black vote ,the white vote ect. Get out of your dream world and open your eyes and see that we are in America the land of the KKK. MLK had a dream and a dream it will always be because of the hate that is in all of our blood. McSame faught tooth and nail against MLK the Holiday. How can anybody vote for that racist who is of color I don't know.
Hillary show McSame how to beat Obama and it has been on TV for the past week. It is in full use.
Obama08 A Dream

AFTER WHAT HILLARY AND HER SUPPORTERS DID HOW COULD HE PICK HER NOW. PEOPLE LIKE BOB JOHNSON DEMANDING TO HAVE HER ON THE TICKET. WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE. THIS WAS ALL IN VERY BAD TASTE. SHE OVER PLAYED HER HAND AND IT BACK FIRED. ANYONE THAT THINKS SHE HAD A CHANCE AT VP WAS QUITE A BIT SLOW............

OBAMA...08

look i'm a woman and a hardcore feminist, but i can honestly say clinton is not the right person for the job....

I am so happy to see former Hilary supporters urging others to
back Barack. There is no way a true Democrat, or for that
matter, an intelligent voter could want another four years
of the diasters the republicans have created for our country.
Mccain is four more years of failing to care about the needs
and wants of the American people.
Thank you.

They might call on the 40,000 to fall in line behind Obama, but there's millions of us that simply will not concede to a fixed outcome!

BIG MISTAKE: I urged all Hillary supporters to vote for McCain. We will never forget and will remember in Nov....

;PUMA

So, CNN while we wait as this game of who the V.P.s will be with only 96 days until election, we must ask ourselves why are both campaigns waiting?

Bob Barr is talking about real issues and solutions and has a running mate announced and yet you have to keep reporting on lapel pins, shoes and when will Hillary talk.

How about reporting more on Candidates that are working to make America better and solve problems rather than negative, attack ads.

I for one am happy to hear of a candidate that offers a message truly different from Obama or McCain. Barr will pull out of Iraq and Afganistan, will reduce government because our debt is one of the biggest problems, and will also restore freedoms that have been taken by Democrats AND Republicans. With a candidate like this, it's remarkable that there is so little media coverage. Especially when polls show his support in many states nearing 10%! This is news! Please report it!

Barr '08

I don't think Hillary or her supporters want to be the reason more soldiers die in Iraq and Iran, if John McCain is president.

Obama 08

I personaly think that she will be part of his administration and sitting as VP would not be the best thing for who she is and what she is capable of. I think she would better serve as Sec. of State. The VP slot usually gets lost unless they shoot someone in the face.

oops

Independent for Obama

I just called Obama's campaign headquarters urging him to choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate. I am an Obama supporter and voted for him in my states primary but all of this recent speculation that he may pick Tim Kaine has me really worried. 18 million people voted for Hillary Clinton and I know for a fact that while most of these Hillary voters will vote for Obama, a few million of these 18 million are waiting to see if Obama puts Hillary on the ticket in order to make a decision. If Obama were to announce Hillary as his running mate you would instantly see Obama's poll numbers go up a few points vs McCain. Obama needs someone as his running mate with a lot of experience to help balance out the ticket. A lot of the more Conservative Democrats wont vote for him otherwise. I urge everyone reading this blog to call Obama's campaign headquarters at 866-675-2008 and express your views on this issue

Good. VB.org was made of epic fail.
Obama/Edwards 08

As a registered Democrat and Sen. Clinton supporter, I feel that it is a positve step for her NOT to be on Sen. Obama's ticket as VP. Sen. Obama is probably a really good person, but I don't think he will make much of a president due to his being "green." Currently, he has 300 advisors, how many will he have if he becomes President, and who will they be? And any policy decisions coming from his administration will not be a reflection of him, but any one of his advisors. It will sully Sen. Clinton's political fire if she were to be Sen. Obama's Vice President, should he even be just a mediocre president. I also don't believe it was a good time for him to take his European/Middle Eastern "tour." He is too presumptuous about winning the presidency; neither convention has even taken place yet, nor the naming of either VPs. No, it is best Sen. Clinton is NOT on the Obama ticket.

(Sniff....sniff...)

It smells like PUMAs in here. Someone get some spray.

Hillary needs to be at the "TOP OF THE TICKET" or not at all. She's too experienced to play second fiddle to in-experience. She does not need to be the BRAINS be-hind anyone.
Therefore my vote will not go to ob. It's either a write-in for Hillary or McCain.
Either way we need to get this country back on track being the number one spot it has always been in the past. A time when America/Americans were respected as the world leader/s.
It's possible we need to look at the third party candidate !

Lets all think before we cast our ONE VOTE !

Correction: Bill Clinton (not conton)

Good, now the Dems and the country can move towards electing Barack Obama.

Obama 08

I am a HRC supporter, but I do NOT believe John McCain is as bad as portrayed in this article.

Without Hillary on the ticket, I am out of any caring about the national election. Nor will I give time or my money!

I will, however, support a woman candidate running for Congress... that's the best I can do to try to get a woman's voice heard.

WE are not ready to give up. McCain may not serve two terms if elected. therefore, Hillary will have a chance to win in 2012.
Hillary supporters are a force to be reckoned with.
We knew Obama was not going to choose Hillary as VP the moment
he said Bill Conton was going to "complicate" his election. PLUS
Obama and camp allocating 20 million dollars to attract the Latino Vote. We are not stupid. All Obama needed to do was hint at Hillary
being his choice for VP. He knows that the Latino Vote is soildly behind Hillary.
NOW if CNN will print my comments while they are "awainting"
moderation" I will be satisfied for the moment.

Although I am a bit angry about how Hillary treated Obama during the primaries and I don't want her as vice president, I feel she will definitely have a place in the Obama administration and will play a key role in redefining our nation.

To all Hillary supporters, understand that Obama recognizes and respects Hillary, as she does him. We need your support more than ever.

If Senator Obama is smart (and I think he is), this should be a no-brainer. Hillary Clinton SHOULD BE ON HIS TICKET. If not, I don't know what will happen this November. Come on, Senator Obama, pick her so we can all get on and get back the White House in November. Still wishing and hoping for Hillary Clinton. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Obama is taking a gamble.

the election is not about who gets on the ticket.Its all about change.
Mcbush have shamelessly wrecked the economy and we are holding on this presumption until the DEMS get to the white house.
OBAMA 08!

HE NEEDS TO HAVE HER ON TICKET

The Dems better unite, or you can just kiss your butts goodbye! ?McCain will pull the trigger to start World War 3!

this is really just another loss for obama. longtime clinton supporters, like myself, still believe HRC will be POTUS one day.

as for us HRC supporters who do not look favorably on an obama presidency due to his lack of experience, we do not believe mccain will send "our soldiers off to more wars, giv[e] Big Oil free rein to gouge us at the pump, and let ideology overrule decisions that should be made on the basis of science and health?”

mccain has experience in the military and has respect for our men and women in uniform, has never supported big oil the likes of bush & co., and has never let his personal beliefs (anti-gay marriage amendment, terry schiavo, etc.) dictate his legislative actions.

these scare tactics ring hollow. we need a leader with true experience to take this country and turn it around. mccain is the better choice and obama is DOING NOTHING to convince HRC supporters he is the right choice. his flip-flopping is most troubling and i can't imagine how obama supporters justify his many changes of opinion lately.

he is just a politician afterall – not the messiah the world seemingly seeks.

like it nor not folks, without HILLARY on the ticket, OBAMA is TOAST come november (just look at all the recent poll numbers).

-

If it is true, that Obama is going to pick someone other than Hillary Clinton, it will be his downfall.

Let Hillary Clinton speak on the day chosen, as well as the day that the Vice President candidate speaks on.

It will be Obama's downfall if he does not put Hillary Clinton on the ticket as his VP.

I am one of those Hillary Clinton voters that will vote for McCain before I will vote for Obama, as well as not voting. I want a President that respects America, that will work for America and that will keep America as his first priority if by some strange chance that he beats McCain.

I for one was hoping he didn't select Hillary, I don't trust her and neither should Obama. She act like she was entitled to the nomination.

Obama

Be introspective! The last paragraph of this article is very, very important. In other words – vote with your heads and not your hearts.

Hillary supporters are not stupid and they know what they want.
Obama better start begging and give up his audatious approach and BEG HILLARY TO BE THE VP.

Some of hillary supporters are coming to their sense, but the problem is most her supporters are older white woman who are stuck in the past, having say that Women in general are so emotional as the saying goes he can not live with them and you can not shoot them.

Unfortunately, I don't see Clinton as filling the role as Vice-President. This does not deminish her role as the leader for America's women. Right candidate, but a poorly run campaign has cost her.

I have been an Obama supporter for quite sometime (I am the originally JB, some poser has now come out and used my blog name), and truthfuly despise Hillary. But, ya know what, I am beginning to understand why HRC supporters HATE Obama supporters so much.

A poll comes out saying Obama is winning, and every Obama supporter comes out in favor of polls and how great this world will be when the savior Obama comes into office.

Then (as in just today), a poll comes out saying that the race is tight, and the SAME people (yes I checked) claim polls mean nothing, and yell at CNN (as the worst station ever etc. . . . ) Many even claim CNN is trying to bash Obama.

News to you bipolar idiots, CNN has been nothing but extremely supportive of Obama, continues to be supportive (look at the right hand side of this screen, and see categories. Barack 2109 stories, McCain 1209). There is NO MEDIA bias against Obama.

Now Obama wants to include Illegal aliens in his health care plan, and he has backed away from the definitive statements about withdrawal out of Iraq. He is becoming the same old same old politician. The only reason I will still vote for him, Republicans are dumb still trying to push trickle down economics. It DOESN'T work. The elite are just voting themselves pay raises or giving themselves bigger bonuses as their taxes go down. The average C-level executive in Japan makes 10 times an average worker. In the US, 400 times.

Increase taxes for those making over $250,000, decrease for those making under. These elites (in most cases) are making laws, and our policies, therefore they should pay more.

*****"Senator Hillary Clinton is no longer under consideration as Senator Obama’s running mate," ******

who said she ever was? she was never asked for the documentation needed for a VEEP.

I'm totally thrilled she won't be on the ticket...I support Obama, but don't think I could vote for a ticket with Hillary on it.

Well I would just be that the Messiah thinks he will not even need a VP. He can handle it all by himself. No need for a side kick. Who could stand next to him anyway?? He head is so big there is no room.
What a joker he is. Too bad.

Obama is using Hillary because he may not win the battleground states that she won and he needs them to win the presidency. And if he doesn't choose her as his VP he made not win because there are several million voters that probably will write her name in or vote for McCain. Hillary was cheated out of her superdelegates by Obama, Reid, Nancy and Dean and they were dumb to let that happen to them. I am glad for PUMA, they know what's happening and I hope they can take charge and upset the convention. They are not listening to Hillary's statement regarding Obama, they are going ahead as planned.

As the saying goes: It's not over 'til the Fat Lady sings.

Obama '08

Obama is running for the King of the world title. He does not need a running mate. He has already bolster his foreign policy credentials by taking pictures with important leaders who dares mingle with the man of grace and non-specific rhetoric.

I honestly hope she does not go on the ticket. She has virtually nothing to gain to do so, unless she would do it merely to be mentioned in history books. To have more experience and knowlege than the president as a VP would not be good. I´d like to see her wait this out and run again in the next election if McCain were to win. For me, Obama/Clinton is not a dream ticket.

He's turned his back on 18 million of Hillary's supporters. That cannot be overlooked. He thinks he is so popular that he doesn't need her or us. Europe can't vote for him and neither can Canada. Then can have him.

PUMA's – send this Jr. Senator back to the Senate where he belongs.

Hillary supporters are intellegent, concerned individuals that can weigh the difference between Obama's and McCain's platforms. The stakes are just too high not to vote, and McCain's platforms are 180-degrees from those of Hillary's. I have no doubt they will follow the issues and vote for Obama.

DIM is exactly the right word to use.... There's no way in hell Hillary would be a good VP since her "vision" is all about HERSELF..... One hopes the voters of NY get rid of her ASAP.... then she can go bake pies.

The veep slot is not the only position where Mrs.Clinton fits.Don't drive a wedge between people.

This is, without a doubt, the right kind of message to send. Anyone who truly cares about this country and about undoing the damage done by BushCo will hopefully show the intellect and maturity in moving on and supporting Sen. Obama!
BARACK ON!

If Obama really cared anything about the American people, Hillary would be on the ticket. More than half of America voted for Her.

Once again everything is always about him and his buck tooth wife!

As soon as he announces ANYONE but Clinton as VP, he's got my vote and my first ever political contribution.

JUST SAY NO to badgering, self-entitled, unqualified whiners who can't handle their own campaign expenses but want to handle the US budget.

I do not understand why Hillary would want to campaign for Obama or even make a speech at the convention after he railroaded her delegates to vote for him along with Nancy, Dean and Reid. If I were her voters I would vote for McCain or write her name in to keep him from the presidency. He doesn't deserve it. The public is already calling him the messiah which is an abomination of God. There is only one Messiah and that is Jesus not Obama. The reason for the crowds at his tour is because he is a minority and thousands of European's are minorities. The public should wake up to the fact that Obama never liked America that's why he was a racist and attended that church. I definately will not vote for a candidate with that background. McCain is a true American and that's whom I am voting for.

Nothing is more important than getting Democrats back into the White House. I do hope Obama wins but I am completely disgusted with him. He's taking a huge risk by not choosing Hillary as his running mate. She is his golden ticket and it is insulting to Hillary and her supporters that Obama is not using that to our advantage.

Like I said, I hope he wins...but mostly because I hope McCain loses. But I certainly won't be donating any money to a campaign that's taking a huge gamble just to prove a point.

Obama's arrogance will be his downfall in November! No Clinton = McCain in the White House!

I can't understand why Dem's wouldn't want the strongest ticket possible.

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!

This Clinton supporter will never vote for Obama. How does anyone know that Obama won't do exactly what "they" allege will happen under a McCain presidency. I have seen nothing from Obama that gives me the confidence that he is a true Democrat. The only person Obama seems to care about is Obama. As long as everyone is hyperventilating in his presence, as long as the media fawns over him, as long as he doesn't get criticized for what he says (and he has said some things that would have sunk other candidates) Obama is fine. The fourth estate needs to expose this nothing candidate for what he is and isn't. Oh I know if you ask any questions, you are a racist. Okay I'm a racist.

He will lose most definitely now. The new polls should have him soaring but he is going in the other direction. Another bad choice by the Dems. not to put Hillary on the ticket. Bye bye Obama if you don't win you are done in politics.

VoteBoth's idea was a bad one from the beginning.

You have to imagine the meeting in Diane Feinstein's DC home back in mid-June between Hillary Clinton, the true leader of the Democratic Party, and Barack Obama, the weasel who successfully tricked the most gullible among us into propelling him to a nomination that he did not earn and does not deserve.

It went something like this:

Obama sat silently as Hillary explained the situation.

She said, "I would never never join the ticket of a weasel like you, or enable you the way so many other failed politicians have enabled you. But I will announce publicly that I want to be your running mate, and you can explain to my millions of supporters why you have decided I am not qualified for the job. Good luck."

Knoxville NFIL

I am an avid Obama supporter and even donate regularly however if she is any where on his ticket I will not vote. I won't vote for mcsurge either because I don't want america to be ruined but I just couldn't bring myself to vote period.

Vote Obama is equal to vote for this un-democratic party.

Either McCain or Clinton.

YOU WISH!!!!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

John McCain just had a town hall meeting Tuesday in NV and yesterday in CO.

It was absolutely pathetic. All this guy says is "my friends I know how to fix that" but then he gives not even the slightiest solutions to the problem he was asked about.

Wake up America! Not again, not again!

YES WE CAN!

Good now he's going to lose!

This is unfortunate. This would have been a good ticket. Howeveer both ran a bloody campaign and there is not enough time to heal.

Part of the problem was that unlike Obama's campaign which ran on volunteers, Hillary had paid staff which did not want to lose their jobs, and therefore gave Hillary false hopes even when it was all over. Even when she realized it was all over, they did not let her end her campaign, just suspend it. Till todate, they continue to put obstacles in the healing process.

If Pumas has any real respect for Hillary, they will respect her decision to support Obama. If they have any real love for her, they will raise funds to cover her debts. Without it, all claims of being her supporter is just self interest.

Sorry. Not going to happen. I'll write her in. Obama's arrogance will be his downfall.

PUMA.

Stop the fighting. Hillary will do okay, she's a Clinton, right. And Barack will do more than okay because he represents the next generation. We've already won.

Dems, lets think about our blessing and forge ahead. We have a lot of work to do with McCain and Karl Rove's henchmen on our heals.

O/08

I am a Hillary supporter who wouldn't vote for Obama EVEN if he asked her to VP, which he wouldn't.
B.O. Stinks!!!!
McCain '08...Hillary or anyone beside Nobama '12

Well, finally at least some of Hillary's supporters are seeing reality. I do not believe Obama ever considered her for VP, even though he was polite enough to say, "She would be on anyone's short list."

This is not a defeat for Hillary. The VP slot is generally ceremonial, and with the exception of the current administration, where the VP is actually running the country for the village idiot that's been elected president, it has little power or influence. Hillary could do MUCH better, in a role that is much more aligned with her desires. If she was made a cabinet member, in charge of Health, she could kick butt, get healthcare/medical insurance reformed, and maybe even get a national healthcare system in place. If she was VP, all she'd do is fly to foreign contries, smile, and have lunch with government reps from other countries. She'd get so bored with that in about 10 minutes it would be rediculous.

Thank God! It would be ridiculous for Hillary to play second fiddle to this empty suit of a candidate.

Go Hillary!

I'm voting for the best available candidate. McCain.

So because of that they will vote McBush? If McCain gets elected he will bring back the draft and start a war with Iran.

Putting Clinton on the ticket would destroy everything his campaign
has been about. CHANGE !

I know that the Hillary supporters are going to rant and rave, but before they do, ask yourselves this: Did you really think that Obama would select Clinton after people basically tried to MAKE him do it? If the tables were turned, no one would have forced Obama down Clinton's throat, which would have made her more at ease with selecting him as a running mate. If Obama would have selected Clinton after people trying to threaten him and force him to do it, he would have been perceived as weak and he would have never recovered. I think Clinton actually had a chance, but her supporters ruined it.

That's great Obama – you made my vote for McCain veryyyyyyyy easy!!! I truly hope you are sorry one day for snubbing Hillary. You will NEVER get my vote and I am a life long Democrat!!!!! I know everyone kept saying the Hillary supporters will change their mind and end up voting for Obama – if my feelings are in line with many others they will not ever vote for Obama – It'[s McCain '08 for me!!!!

This is unbelievable. What a slap in the face. This woman earned 18 million votes & Obama doesn't think she is good enough to be his VP?He is a coward that is afraid of being dominated by a woman. Oh well…this will make it so much easier to vote against him. This is unfortunately not only his loss but the country's as well.We will remember in November.

If this is any where near true,then McCain has it hands down! If the Popular vote is going to be ignore by the Democratic Party,they deserve to loose,and they need to be taught a lesson. Voters will not be disenfranchised, without consequences! Hillary can blog all she wants for Rev Wright's prodigy,but America isn't buying in to that,at all. I am,however ,delighted to hear that Hillary want be connected directly with Obama. Hillary is a powerhouse as a candidate for the Presidency,but ,by in large,we'de have been terribly disappointed if she had taken VP,and had volunteered herself to be connected with the likes of Obama.

Who turned off the lights???

obama is making a fool of Hillary and her voter

PUMAs: The last paragraph says it all.

I can't understand why her backers really think she want this job!! People wake up she is a woman who will not be second to no one!!! I'm sure B/O asked her and she said NO!!! She knows he can win it on his own with her backing and if he don't, she can go in four years!!! I mean get over it!!! LET IT GO!!! Stop letting the media pimp you guys like a street walker so they can stir up stuff to keep a dead story going!!!

I really hope that PUMA and former Hillary supporters come back from the Darkside. I hope we do unite with them. I hope they can let go of the anger and bitterness. I know you loved Hillary, I still love Hillary and Bill, but I also love this country.
There is only one thing that I am concerned about, and that is the future. And believe me, the only way that we going to get there is together.
We can do this. I BELIEVE IN YOU AND ME.

Haha, the republicans did not get what they wanted, again...
But i still think she is on the short list, but it is a better day to speak, since she have worked on a lot of women issues..
and come on, there are a lot of other spots in the white house then being a VP... There is a huge task of cleaning to do, on all levels of American government...

The winner of the Presidential Primary picks his/her VP- as it should be. The continual whinning of pumA's strongly influenced who the VP won't be. They need to honor Senator Clinton's wishes and realize that the taking back of the White House is priority ONE. Their candidate ran a strong race and lost- fairly. They need to get over themselves and think of the Country.

I usually feel the need to make a snide comment about Ms. Clinton (whom I am no big supporter of), however in light of these founders mature and intelligent thought process, I have to commend them for their message and good willed intent.

Despite disagreeing with their cause, I recognize they are not among the Hillary supporters that are simply and childishly bitter about losing.

IT TOOK THAT LONG FOR THEM TO FIGURE THAT OUT?

I'M BAFFLED.

i do not know if this is good or bad but I do know that the primary process left Hillary out in the cold because of some of the things that she said would make it hard to be good running mates . Obama need to find a old fashhion type redmeat eating pitbull to be VP

Unless I have missed something, Obama is the one who wants to send troops to Afganastan, and he is the one against oil drilling.

Without Hillary on the ticket Obama will never win the election, people
don't like him, they think he is cocky and arragant, plus he has NO
experience. As a democrat for 20 years I will vote for McCain. I am one of the believers that dosen't think Obama was born in the manger.

No Hillary, No Obama

The issues and problems we face in this country are too big to let our personal feelings get in the way of our rationale, logic, and common sense. Voting for Sen. McCain would be amount to more of the same Bush policies that have taken us spiraling downward in everyway possible. We need a change, a new direction. Sen. Obama is our best chance at achieving that change we so desparately need!

Obama 08 & 12!

and another thing regarding the PUKE MAS........As a woman, I am very upset that thse ladies (and some men) have perpectuated (sp.) everything men tend to think women are. ex. hysterical, emotional, nagging, fish wives.

All I can say is AMMMMEEEENNNN!

FINALLY! REASONABLE CLINTON SUPPORTERS!

I wasn't sure there were many of you left! But here are people who started an organization backing a joint ticket who have come to the reasonable conclusion it will not be her. But instead of being bitter and psychotic, they've decided to still support the Democratic candidate. I think they should get some of those PUMA people to get into therapy and take note. This is how intelligent people behave; with ration and common sense. Even though I know Clinton supporters are upset and are having a hard time, its still in your best interest to support Obama's candidacy. You don't have to love him, hell no one cares if you like him, but what you should be doing is asking yourself that question that is posed in the article. Just when I thought all of you ardent "Clinton supporters" (although I don't know how you support someone who isn't running anymore is beyond me) were insane wackos... now I have some hope that this election is moving forward.

Common Sense 08

Too bad! So sad! Smart move!

Get over it
Let's get together to bring down McFart with all bunch of idiots who are sinking his campaign

Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I will never vote for the President of the World. The Flip Flopping Anti-Christ............................

Dang...Hillary's not going to be the VP! Who'd have thought. This ought to bring out the HATE comments and vows to vote McBush from you know who...PUMA's.

fINALLY VOICES OF REASON......IF ONLY THE PUKEMAS WOULD LISTEN.

It's ironic that 'I truly believe that Hillary would have been on the ticket, had she not been so destructive-during the campaign'. She should have thought about the LONG-RANGE effect!

Thank goodness!!! I was dreading having to listen to that voice for 4-8 years..yikes!

AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaand cue the PUMA and fanatical Clinton supporters with:

1. "If Hillary is not on the ticket I'm voting McCain" or
2. "He stole the nomination" or
3. "He can't win without Hillary" or
4. "We still love you Hillary and will not vote for NObama" or
5. "Her 18 million supports will not fall in line"

Cue cards up – aaaaaaaaaand 3 ...... 2...... 1

Cue the Republican operatives that unconvincingly call themselves "former Democrats" or "Democrats for McCain".

No sound thinking Democrat really thought Obama would chose Clinton as his running mate.....with all the nasty things she said about him in the primaries! With the GOP running around offering nothing but more of the same....and searching for negative talking points about Obama.....think about how many negatives ads they could run, using Hillary Clinton's words!

I think this is for the best. I'm a Hillary supporter, and while I would like to have seen her as VP, I think she will end up having more power with a cabinet position in Obama's administration. She'll do great things if we put a Democrat into office this year.

I do have a few friends who still say they won't support Obama, and that is their choice. But I have decided that my future is too important to leave up to a man who will further weaken our nation and push it to the brink of collapse. McCain represents no change from the past 8 years, and though I am not completely sold on Obama yet, even I can recognize that he is the better choice for President.

This democrat is staying home. Patti Solis Doyle was the salt in the wound. I am very disappointed in Senator Obama's refusal to unite the party and include us all.

Bye Bye DNC...

Lets go McCain

Thank God, because even IF Clinton was the VP, these PUMA's (or in otherwords, the uneducated hicks) Still wont vote for Obama because they're stupid
