THEY KNEW NOTHING AND CARE ANYTHING=FAKED UNITY, RIGGED VOTES,UNFAIR POLITIC THAT CAUSED DIVISIVE.,THING THAT CAME OUT ANDT WILL COST THE DEMOCRAT ELECTION..LOOSE IN NOVEMBER.//

A Democrat 18 years in Congress in the heart of Dub-Republicans.

Central Texas cannot afford to lose Chet. Even local veterans voted for him (vets for chet) as he fought strongly for the Waco VA hospital.

Chet's seat would easily fall to a Republican. District 17 was one of the main reasons Tom Delay and his cronies restructured the Texas districts a few years back and the only reason why it's stayed Democrat is Chet.

This is the same reason why, sadly, Jim Webb cannot be the VP choice. It would be another lost seat.

This is the worst congress in the history of this country. Thanks Nancy.

I'm surprised that Speaker Pelosi is even willing to show her face in public after telling the American people that they don't need domestic oil production (by adjourning the House of Representatives without holding a vote on off-shore drilling).

Let's see what we have from the Democrat controlled Congress:

No end to funding what she and her cohorts call the "unjust war," no accountability for those Representatives in her party who are under investigation for corruption (Rep. William Jefferson), no lower gas prices…. Is there anything that the Democratic Congress delivered on that they promised from the 2006 elections?

She needs to go. Hopefully the voting public in her district will be smart enough to see it, or the next Congress will be smart enough not to reelect her as the Speaker of the House.

Pelosi has had all kinds of opportunities to bring about change and make a real difference. She has failed, and she has lost all credibility. She is the worst liability the Democratic party has now.

Having known Chet Edwards during his tenure as an aide to Congressman Tiger Teague, then as a State Senator, and finally as a member of Congress,….I can say without question that Chet would make a great VP! He cares about the people in his district, and is not afraid to buck the party line when necessary.

Pelosi Should start doing her job and a congress woman for California and stop injuecting her perosnla opinions in the presidential race.
wher eis her outrage that anyone wants to drill of the coast of California? Where is her leadership to see that we agressively seek alternative energy source to relieve our dependence on oil?
Open that mouth of your sNancy and do some good for us Californians!

Perhaps Pelosi should run for president in 2012. That way the republicans can expose what a true fraud she is and maybe then, Americans will open their eyes to reality.

I am a proud democrat but she has NO idea how to represent the will of moral citizens. That of course, makes her a great candidate for a mayorial position in San Francisco.

hey brad, which America do u live in. same one where G.W. Bush is the president. or one with President Pelosi. u obviously listen too much talk radio my friend.

SAD!!

Why are the candidates not talking about how they intend stop the influence of lobbiest in washington? Seems to me that no matter who wins this election washington is going to be the same old dirty place where well intended politians go to bed with imoral lobbiest. My question to the candidates is…..will outlaw lobbiest in washington?
You need only give a yes or no answer?

This is what happens when you have an American Idol candidate. When someone makes a common sense suggestion, they are degraded for not following an Ipod gameboy mentality. We need a VP with some experience then we will have at least one member of the team with some idea of what is going on.

Pelosi and Reid are really a bunch of clowns, Just what Barack Hussain Obama needs…advice from them.

Why oh why, do you fools keep taking about Hillary. She lost!!! Nobody cares about PUMA or the old Republicans. Get over yourselves. LOL

The Republicans brought ALL the bad things on the American people.
Their ties to big oil is the basis for 95% of our troubles.
YOU MADE YOUR BEDS….NOW LIE IN THEM!!!

Obama
Ohh-eight
Obama
Ohhhh-yeah!!!!

Obama is searching for some one suitably photogenic. John Edwards is now toast.

"Sending billions of tax dollars each year directly to churches is unconstitutional under the First Amendment. It will lead to government regulation of our churches, which is exactly why our Founding Fathers rejected the idea of using tax dollars to fund our churches when they wrote the Bill of Rights."

— Rep. Chet Edwards (D-Texas)
—————————————————————————————-
This is a positive statement from a Texan no less.

Eight stories out of 12 here deal with Obama. Pretty nice coverage for a guy who doesn't (and hasn't for a long time) do his job back here in Illinois. I'm referring to his voting record as an ILLINOIS SENATOR. Check the record.

I AM A DEMOCRAT ALSO ALL OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN PELOSI SHE HAS DONE NOTHING FOR US FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. SHE IS A WASTE OF SPACE ON THE INTERNET. SHE NEEDS TO BACK TO SAN FRANCISCO AND DIVE INTO THE RICHES OF HER REAL ESTATE RICH HUSBAND AND NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN LIKE BUSH AND HIS CRONIES NEEDS TO DO. WHO LISTENS TO A DO NOTHING I DON'T JIM HALL

After throwing Hillary under the bus, she needs to just shut up. There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women

As an educated female, Clinton was never my choice. Any other female would have been better then her. Pelosi is just crazy!

Barack will do just fine on his own picking out his running mate.

To all the PUMA people out there. SHUT UP! If your willing to go through 4 more years of Bush JUST so Hillary MIGHT run in 2012 means you are the lowest form of life EVER! I can place money on it that most of you are bluffing but for those of you which arent i hate you deeply

Much as I admire Madame Speaker, I think she is speaking out of turn.

Obama should choose the running-mate most likely to ensure victory over McCain. The vice-presidency is not an award for prior good works.

By this standard, I believe that Obama should re-examine Senator Clinton. I was originally an Edwards supporter. But all Democrats now have to focus on the only question that matters.

How do we redeem America's honor? It is certainly not by allowing a hate-mongering smear artist like John McCain to win the presidency.

And so whoever he is, will help Obama win? Isn't Hillary the one that pulled in about 18 million votes? What is Pelosi thinking?

"brad"
looks like you have a lot of things to say about the democratic congress that has only had the majority for the last "TWO" years. what you failed to mention is that almost all of the problems we are facing is because republicans have had the majority for the last "12″ years, and the white house for the last eight. doesn't shock me at all that you idiots would try to blame dems for it, you guys were dumb enough to vote for bush twice. also, to all you dodos who say you are democrats and won't support obama, suck it up, we will when with or without your help. "JUSTSAYNODEAL.COM" vote for McSame, he won't win, and you will not get the chance to vote for clinton in 2012 because Obama will be running for re-election you bitter fool.
OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh great 2 unknows running as the democratic ticket

Chuck Hagel from Nebraska would be a wise person to take…..

About the new McCain ad…. If I donated to the McCain campaign and saw this, I would ask for my money back. Why aren't you (Reps) mad as *ell about him wasting your money?

Bound for her to come up with someone off the wall that no one has
a clue about. She is clueless.

Makes sense actually…keeps former President Bush in the loop.

If the papers, tv and internet would quit giving her an outlet to talk we wouldn't have to hear her opinions. I wish she would just shut up. She thinks she runs everything, knows everything and yet gets nothing accomplished. I agree…. who is he and why doesn't Obama just do the right thing and put Hillary on the ticket. If he doesn't he will not win….. but then again do we really want him to?

Nancy, why don't you just focus on trying to do your own job….

You had already closed the article with just a few comments on Obama now wants to seat Florida and Michigans delegates fully. This man is a joke. He blocked the revotes of Michigan and florida and had the blacks in michigan on their state senate to vote against the revote. After all the statements racially and sexual statements he made about Hillary Clinton now he wants to give the full seating at the convention. He and Wexler in florida"WEXLER DOES NOT EVEN LIVE THERE AND REPRESENTS FLORIDA' blocked the citizens of florida . Conyers the black guy in Michigan led the charge to not let michigan vote. This was all done thru Obama and , Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosio and Harry Reid. I hope the people of these two states have the guts to vote against this self serving @@@HOLE.

Maybe he will put her on the ticket lol. Sounds like the Dems are getting uneasy already. The polls are all moving toward McCain and the "Chosen one" has NO experience. So now if you losers on the far Left lose this year how will you EVER win back the whitehouse? lol

How about getting something good done for our country for a change, instead of 'stonewalling'; Pelosi has enough to do without sticking her nose in this VP situation. Anyone she would pick, Obama had better veto.

Nancy:

You are a waste of good oxygen! Really, you managed to alienate Pro-Clinton factions in the party and now you want to bring your own candidate into the mix!!! PLEASE STOP!!! ENOUGH OF THIS!!!

GO MCCAIN IN 2008 AND HILLARY IN 2012. NANCY DOES NOT KNOW BEST!!!!!

Nancy's judge of candidates leaves a lot to be desired. She wanted Obama, go figure! McCain will win in 08 and then we will finally get a viable, intelligent, honest and straightforward candidate with Hillary in 2012.

On Beliefnet.com, Mara Vanderslice, founder and director of the pro-Obama religious group Matthew 25 Network, writes:

I found this McCain campaign ad "The One" to be one of the most offensive ads we have seen in American politics to date.

At best, this ad implies that those who plan to support Senator Obama are looking for a new savior or a replacement Messiah. But many are reading it even more darkly as an attempt to portray Obama as an anti-Christ figure.

A vote for Senator Obama is a vote for the man we think will make the best President, not for a new Messiah. As Christians, we have one Lord And Savior. Jesus Christ. It is blasphemous to suggest otherwise.

And it is beyond offensive to suggest that Senator Obama is a false Messiah or the anti-Christ himself. How low can we go? It shows the McCain campaign is willing to make a mockery of our faith to feed people's fears. Christians need to reject this out of hand.

Hasn't she caused enough harm? She just wants to be the most powerful woman in DC. That's why she doesn't want Hillary as President or for Vice President….or any other female as a VP for that matter…

She doesn't care about American's paying record high gas prices because her broom doesn't run on fuel.

People! leave Nancy alone, she is doing a heck of job.hehehehehehe.

If she is planning on influencing the texas vote for Obama she can forget it. Texas is a conservative state and will not vote for the most liberal canidate to ever run for the presidency of the U.S. "OBAMA".Plus everybody I know that has a brain, works and is not on welfare in texas "PUKE" at the mention of PELOSIO"S name. Besides that texans don't like to be called racist uneducated crackers.

people! leave Nancy alone, she is doing a heck job.hehehehehe

Dear Nancy…shut up…signed thinking Americans….

Nancy you amoral shill, you and Howard Dean show partisan favoring in skewing the primary against Hillary. Howard and you need to resign from party leadership, not speak up on issues of a national ticket. I may vote for Obama bit no democrat will get any more of my money as long as Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean are running the party.

Pelosi has absolutely no credibility. This Democrat led Congress has done nothing; that's why they have a less than 10% approval rating in a most recent poll! Oh, she did shut off the lights and mics on C-Span on Friday so they couldn't talk about lifting the ban on off shore drilling! She is a JOKE!!!!! P.S. Obama now says he may favor off shore drilling; flip flop, anyone?!

oh geez…. you are not taken serious in your current job…now you are offering this nonsesne???

Sit down, we don't like you anymore

I just watched Nancy Pelosi on C-Span. OMG what a stupe. Congress has a 9% approval rating. An approval rating below Bush's. She just brushed on Brian's question and said the Democratic approval rating was at its all time high. OMG this woman is so elitist and out of touch. But then again look who elects her.

If yiou guys understands the government system and the way it works you will not be barking like a dog. Everything needed to be voted on. You got stupid republicans in the senate wanting everything democratic to fail, for their own benefits. Unless we as Americans are stupid enough to see the light then go get yourself a blanket, get as a bed and go to sleep because you are ignorant and lost. you can't take an inteligent minority man? missing the common principles of american life.

Obama cannot win without Clinton who happens to represent half of the Democratic party, won eighteen million votes, carries all the groups he does not and is one helluva campaigner! I am one of the eighteen million and we are all sitting on our hands and our pocketbooks just waiting to LEAP to support the dream ticket! And please don't refer to "problems with Bill" …! If Barack is planning to be the leader of the free world, he can certainly handle a successful , former Democratic president who agrees with him on all the issues and will campaign like heck for him anywhere he needs him! And "Change"? I think the first woman Vice President of the United States is a little bitty change don't you ? To say nothing of the fact that she has brought about hundreds of changes, changes for the better in healthcare ,education, veteran benefits, the environment, you name it. Her middle name is change. Now, let's put two armies together and take over the White House!

i don't blame pelosi or the dems at all for their inability to get things done because if you republican waco's remembered who the president was, and how powerful his veto pen was, then you'd understand their delima. It's always comical to hear a neo-con try to place the blame on others for their own failures, but guess what? In this election it won't work, so get ready for a bloody nov 4th, and possibly the end of your party…

Can't wait for Cindy Shehan to take her job

Pelosi is a very strange and secretly controlling woman. Now that Obama wants "full" seating of Florid and Michigan, if you keep the Edwards delegates neutral, suddenly Hillary Clinton got the most pledged delegates. Will Pelosi then reiterate her stance that superdelegates shouldn't override the pledged delegates' decision? Will she go against the popular vote? How much of a hypocrite is Pelosi?

what a moron!!!!!!

she wants to use the strategic oil reserve instead of drilling….the reserve is used only for wartime emergencies!!!!.. she will be one of the reasons why obama will lose….the american population is 60% and growing in favor of drilling……the dems will have a backlash in nov.

The far left is hostile towards Pelosi…the far right is hostile to Pelosi…She must be OK!~ (I am a liberal democrat, but I won't never ever consider voting for Cindy Sheehan….even as a protest vote.)

Yes…Please follow Pelosi's advice. With her excellent leadership, the Dems have accomplished major objectives. No wait, what have they actually done? Nothing. She proves everyday why America should not vote Democrat. It's all empty promises.

Pelosi is worthless.

SHUT UP ALREADY YOU OLD HAG! WHAT A WAIST OF SPACE. DID NOTHING FOR THE COUNTRY EXCEPT RIG AN ELECTION FOR OBAMA WHO NOW WANTS ALL DELEGATES FOR MICH. AND FLOR. SEATED AND FOR THEM TO HAVE A FULL VOTE ! NOW THAT IT BENIFITS HUH OBAMA. YOU ARE TRYING TO PULL A BUSH AND ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN ! ! ! ! !

I'm from Texas and have never heard of this guy! Sounds good to me if it helps stop this Obamania and his dangerous elitism.

justsaynodeal.com hillary will have a hard time just keeping her senate set here in newyork she depands on alot of African American support to keep it so advertising mccain 08 for Clinton '12 ios pretty stupid we wont forget how hillary ran her campaign if Obama loses.

What Speaker Pelosi should offer is her disgraceful resignation. The stunt that was pulled last week only solidifies why many Americans (who support both parties) have little interest in the politics in this country. Democrats don't get it… Republicans don't get it… we hard-working Americans DO get it…. and we who know how to balance a checkbook are completely aware of the problems this Congress AND White House have pushed onto us. It's really sad… I thought this was the United States of America.

I hope the Congressional members enjoy their paid vacation (at yet our expense)… They have certainly earned it haven't they??

IF ANYONE LISTENS TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF PELOSI THEY ARE FOR SURE BORN LOSERS AND NOT A PERSON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WOULD WANT IN PUBLIC OFFICE. WE DON'T WANT OBAMA, KENNEDY, KERRY, RICHARDSON, BYRD OR ANY OF THE OTHER CROOKED POLITICIANS WHO HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE FOR THE PAST 20-YEARS. EDWARDS IS A NOBODY AND WILL STAY A NOBODY. IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHO OBAMA CHOOSES. WHOMEVER IT IS WILL BE RUINING THEIR POLITICAL CAREER. WHO WANTS TO BE ON A TICKET WITH A COORK, LIAR, DECEIVER, AND TERRORIST SUPPORTER.

SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She should stay quite and let OBAMA making his own choice, which he will be responsible for.

i like the speaker of the house elouquent/well informed.

i also admire hillary clinton. michelle obama is also a great american

woman/against all odds these women have achived .

as to the vice p. i always love joe bidden '

i think that governer odell would be helpful or senator chris dodd,

he is good at spanish lways useful

heck why not ask jep bush he is a great repuplician and the

independets would love him, cant get more bipartisan than that.

No Pelosi, Someone else. Obama/08

Given the state of the union, the democratic nominee should be leading by 15+ points but Mr. Obama has failed to capture the support of the democratic base and, despite his popular media coverage, is NOT a shoe-in for the presidency. I do not think he can win without adding Mrs. Clinton and her 18 million democratic base supporters to the ticket. America needs the dream ticket - with it we could have 24 years (2 terms each), of democratic presidents - and we will need every minute of that to turn this country around.

She needs to shut her mouth, get off her 5 week paid vacation and go back to work, do the job she was hired to do……think about the American people and not herself

Pelosi needs to lose her next term. They should be ashamed not voting on off-shore drilling just to protect "the one" from being shown as the hoax he is. Who cares who Obama picks as his running mate, he is going to lose.

Skeletor Pelossi as VP? What a great ticket - Dumber and Dumber!

go away you self serving do nothing speaker of the house.

Pelosi is the grid in Gridlock. She's also the par in Partisan politics. The overwhelming lack of progress in washington has been mainly due to her. Pelosi is one of the worst house speaker ever! and this is coming from a san franciscan. She is the most divisive polician on the Hill at the moment and I very sorry for anyone who has to deal with her.

Chet Edwards is a good man. All the rest I dont know about.

why can´t people let Sen. Barack Obama make his choice alone?

PELOSI , BY THE TIME SHE IS OUT OF OFFICE , MOST WILL HAVE A OVER FILL STOMACH OF HER AN OTHERS ON THE DC. PARTY OF DO NOTHING.
NOTHING WILL BE DONE IF THEY WORK UP ANOTHER 30 DAY'S OFF . BEING THEY NEVER COME UP WITH A GOOD THING. THEY JAVE TO DO IT THERE WAY AN THE HELL WITH THE REST OF US. SURE IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE FAT CATS . APPROVE OF EVERYTHING THEY SAY.
HELL IF IRAN HAD A BOAT , WITH A BOMB WAITING TO ENTER THE HARBOR , AN IT WAS UP TO THEM (DC) . THEY WOULD MORE AN LIKELY SAY , WE WILL BRING THAT UP AFTER WE HAVE OUR VACATION. FOR THEY GOT THAT SO CALLED , MUSLIM AGREEING WITH EVERYTHING SHE SAY'S.

A FINAL WORD , JUST WHY IN THE WORLD , OF WORDS. THEY ( THE DEMOCRITICS ), CAN NOT DO SOMETHING CORRECT ONE DAM TIME. THERE CHANGE , JUST WENT AWOL.

NO TO PELOSI, AN MANY MORE , PLUS THERE MUSLIM , THAT WANTS TO GIVE THIS COUNTRY AWAY. I WAS SAID MANY YEARS AGO. THAT THIS COUNTRY WILL BE TAKEN OVER WITH OUT A SHOT BEING FIRED. IT MAY BE CLOSER THAN YOU THIONK. .

I simply cannot think of anyone less relevant and capable than Nancy "Her Excellency" Pelosi in our government. It is astounding that such a (once) great country cannot seem to find any better leaders than her.

It is a very sad downhill slide for America that we are all now watching, and even sadder that we contribute by our actions — and inactions — which allows dangerous nobodies like this slip into positions of power.

Pelosi is a joke

At first I was pround that Pelosi was the Speaker of The House, now after seeing her in action I not so sure she is the right person for the job. Where is that grit when it cames to dealing with the President and his Republicans in Congress? That same grit Pelosi had to have had to have risen to the position of Speaker. A pushover Pelosi and her fellow Democrats have been since taking control. Just the threat of a veto has sent the Democrats scurring for cover.
I will not vote for Obama, I can't vote for McCain, I will write in Hillary for President.
The "Left Wing" of the Democratic Party will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. And if by some miracle Obama wins, then the diversity of the Democratic Party will work against them as it did during President Clinton first term. It wasn't untill the Democrats were a minority in Congress that they worked with President Clinton. The difference between Obama and President Clinton is that Clinton was at that time and still is a strong and tested leadrer, whereas Obama is not and will be found wanting.
I am willing to suffer a McCain win, if it will finally lead to a reshaping of the Democratic party, where the "Left" does not hold sway.

Anyone who has been in the military should know a lot about Congressman Edwards. Like the article says he has worked very hard for Veterans in this Country. If you don't know who he is then visit his website and get to know him. He has been a very strong leader in the Congress since 1990. He is a great American.

Pelosi should mind her own business. She can't even handel the Senate , let alone pick the V.P. I was a democrate most of my life then went to independent. Becouse of people like Pelosi and Obama with thier lies. I would like to know why she won't bring up the bill on drilling for our own oil and why she calls recess before its voted on. This is a time our country is in big trouble. There is ways we can drill withourt hurting our country. And it would help to put America on it on ecomonic growth again. As for Obama he wants to stop the drilling, Does Obama care more about getting elected and beibg the big hero solving problems then he does the welfare of this country and the working people. Heating bill are going up again. How on earth will retired people, single family homes and people losing health insurance with cut hours and pay cuts keep worm this winter. We cant take much more in price hikes. So I dont give a dame who does what, just get it done.

She?! Or, you - the "R………."?!!
Obama for '08, '12 & '16 …

3 Senators, and a 9 term Congressman???

Maybe she should stop to think that Obama is the nominee because the average American is totally sick of Washington D.C.'s crap…

What hot air - I hope every single Incumbent on both sides loses this year!!!

AS IF anyone would vote for a Texan on the ballot (with apologies to my Texas Dem friends)…dream on Nancy. No one is listening (I hope). Hillary, Richardson or Biden, and be done with it.

With her blessing he is doomed.

Chet Edwards….nice,
but–as much as I would dislike Hil–
I think Obama needs her as his VP to become a successful President.

If Pelosi rates him highly, what is the mtter with him? She herself doesn't bring the napkins to the table.

Makes a lot of sense actually…it will keep former President Bush in the loop.

Why pick people no one has ever heard of. This is as bad as the McCain team vetting Erik Cantor, who no one has ever heard of. If they were smart, Obama would pick Edwards, and McCain would pick Huckabee. I would say that Obama should pick Hillary, but Bill Clinton would just interfere too much.

Brad You can thank Bush and Cheany for the mess this country is in. True Pelosi isn't the best, but she is twice as good as Bush and Cheany put together. I'm sure if we had 60 demorcates there would have been a lot more done.

Obama 08

Obama can't win without Hillary.

I like Hillary for Veep! I think Hillary and Obama would make a great team!

What takes so long for a moderator to screen the comments ?….the CBC is much better…..especially when you consider the quality of the comments.
Eagerly awaiting your dulcet acceptance of my opinion.

An example ?….sure……..'She's the biggest loser of them all. Go away…with any luck she will lose her seat.'

MCcain 08,,polosi you have done enough harm to our party,,you should tuck your tail and go back where you came from..If Obama looses this race you will be part of the reason..You are a flipfloper,,first you say no to Hillary now you say yes because you thank you may loose ,open your eyes and see what a mess you have help to make..It time you and some of the rest of the old heads should be thrown out and some new one put in..it makes me sick to my stomach to see what you have done to our party and country

"McCain '08 for Clinton '12″ = PATHETIC!

She is he biggest loser in the democratic party, She should have stand behind the unique women candidate for the party'S nominee….she is like all the other, sold out! and who know maybe worst …………I only wish she loses her seat……

Nancy Do-nothing is always to speak her mind. I'm not an Obama supporter but it seems to me that the choice of VP is his business, not Pelosi's. Doesn't she think he can pick his own running mate? And if she really had a hot tip wouldn't it be better to speak to Obama in private to make a recommendation - rather than taking it directly to the press?

With friends like her…

Why would we trust Pelosi? She ran out on the country when the GOP wanted to vote on an energy package and pulled her disappearing stunt with the democrats last week. She basically abandoned working americans while she went on vacation — something I cannot afford.

She continually influenced the primaries and has publicly called Obama the "annointed one"….. She has used force in pressuring Democrats to vote for who she wants.

She and Dean have totally screwed up the Democratic Party.

She has led Congress to it's lowest approval rating in history.

She and the Democrats are busy working on an "apology for slavery and reparations" for African Americans.

We know where her priorities are………..

Let's get to reality and face the issues of today — the economy, energy, and war……..Something IMPORTANT and vital to ALL americans and for future survival.

My 32 year old (Republican) son has been saying for years that Pelosi is a nut ……

She has caused me to make history —- agreeing with my son.

I am now going Republican and want nothing to do with anyone who aligns with Pelosi.

It seems like it is getting harder for Obama to pick a VP when the head of his party starts mentioning names. Can't we stop that VP blah- blah and let Obama or his staff pick someone that can help him defeat McCain in November. The country cannot afford another Bush/McCain. Let's do everything that's in our power to bring change because the country is in bad shape ever since Bush took power.

justsaynodeal.com- How do you expect Hillary to win in 2012 when you are not voting for Obama 2008?-

Do really think Obama supporter will give Hillary a chance when it comes back around….

Its a shame another 4years of Bush because of hate.!

Its a shame another 4years of Bush because of hate.

Hope, I have hope just not the audacity to blindly hope. We need more than words; we need someone who knows how to do the work. What work has Sen. Obama done? Sen. Clinton has 30 plus years of real civil rights leadership, actual gains that has allowed the disadvantaged to have a voice and that has allowed for this very discussion of Sen. Obama’s candidacy. What has Sen. Obama done for America? Local community outreach and state senatorial voting record of present are not enough to say he is experienced. And as the chairman of the Subcommittee on European Affairs with jurisdiction over NATO’s operations, he didn’t call a meeting in two years, two years! Is this how we can expect him to execute his office? It is the Executive branch not the legislative branch I’m concerned with- as the President is the top executor of the country.

Change, what change and by whom? I want change, truly I do, but how will that change come and by which path? Since Sen. Obama was instilled as the DNC’s puppet over the people’s choice, can anyone tell me what the change will be? (Say what you must but Tammany Hall is live and well in Chicago and in the DNC; it’s been lurking, waiting to raise it’s ugly head since FDR.) Is this an example of the type of administration we could expect from Sen. Obama? Strong arm tactics. What a glorious way to capture the nomination. It's not about the journey but about the end results…. RIGHT? Will this be our legacy to the future?

How exactly will Sen. Obama approach the issues facing our great nation? Let’s face the fact that his experience - community outreach and a state senatorial voting record of "Present," does not qualify him for the office of the President of the United States of America – one in which the new President will face the effects of global warming, war, commodities shortages- everything from fresh water and oil to wheat, economic "downturn" and health issues ranging from rogue viruses to tainted food/products. Many of these issues span an international spectrum. Where exactly does Sen. Obama exhibit the experience to effectively deal with these issues? (Who do you want performing your open heart surgery, the professor or the surgeon?) It takes more than being able to talk about how something is supposed to act, (anyone who has just come out of college to start a new job can attest to that;) it takes the experience of actually doing the work. We need change and we need proven leadership - on day one. In my opinion the only person who has the qualifications to effectively handle all the issues facing our nation is Hillary Clinton. This is the reason so many of her campaign advisors are now working with Obama, because he knows Hillary was the true candidate of change. In my opinion the only person who has the qualifications to effectively handle all the issues facing our nation is Hillary Clinton. Barack as Chief Executive?… never. This 30 year democrat will write in Hillary for president and not Obama, no matter who his running mate. I found him lacking and still do.
Nobama!

I am a republican. BUT, if I would have voted or supported any Democratic candidate it would have been Hillary. Did I like Bill, No. But was he president for 8 years? Was Hillary around? Is Hillary Dumb? NO. She's smart, she's energetic, she's commited. She has a platform and an opinion.

And if anybody can help Obama get to the White House it's Hillary.

Why isn't Hillary mentioned or even being considered. Without her Obama will lose. It will be a close race but a President cannot represent one segment or even just a few segments of America. The president and his ticket, in this ever expanding world, must be a president of ALL the people.

nancy,
You have truly kidnapped the democratic party. Not only did you force the nominee who can't carry the day, but now you want him to pick a VP who will not be helpful to ticket. Go away

Chet Edwards sounds like a great counter-weight for Obama, I'd like to know more about him.

CNN, can you please post more info about Chet Edwards? Thank you.

All I have to say is whomever Nancy Pelosi wants is who I DON'T want. The first thing on the agenda should be to get rid of this woman! She is one top reason why many of us no longer want to be called Democrats. We prefer to be independent.

Why in the world Democrats stick by this complete incompetent is beyond me. As a convervative, I'm glad her agenda has been a complete failure, but if i were a liberal I would be foaming at the mouth at her.

She also came to Detroit o support Cheeks-Kilpatrick. What does that tell you????

Pelosi is such a liar you would think she'd hide from the public; not to speak of a dumb "you now what".

Dem's need to stop letting repub's push them around.

If not Hillary, I won't care if the republicans take it again.

Great, so for the Democratic VP she's promoting a DINO who voted with the Repukes on many of the controversial bills recently (new FISA bill, etc. Well, so did Obama for that matter… ugh). What else would you expect from a Dem who can manage to hold on to his seat in a very conservative part of Texas, though? He's sure not going to be a progressive or liberal. Nope, he's definitely a DINO, which is not what I'm interested in voting for.

I didn't think it was possible for me to think any less of Pelosi than I already did, but after looking up Chet Edwards's voting record, I do. Get that idiotic woman out of a position of power already. I'd so love to see Cindy Sheehan take her seat. Go Cindy!!

MCbush is a liar.

to justsaynodeal

Contriubute to Cindy Sheehan's primary run and maybe Piglosi will lose her seat.

IT IS HYPOCRISY.///

impeach Polosi, has done nothing, only screw up the Democratic Party

As Nancy has screwed up Congress with her style I'd say yea, take her pick to the bank Obama

I agree with justsaynodeal.com. Nancy Pelosi is no friend of women or the Democrats. When Pelosi became Speaker I was so proud to be a women. Now I am embarrased. Because of her, Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean, Bob Casey and I could go on and on, Hillary is not our nominee. This was to be our year - the first women President. Unfortunately, we found out, this is still a mans world. Our only hope is Clinton '12!

Nancy Pelosi has her own agenda and the Democrats better not leave her out of some of the pie. She is all about herself…do not be fooled.

She just irritates me all the time.

McCain '08

I hope all you McCain staffers are getting paid this weekend, otherwise I suggest you guys jump ship.

Stop posting your crazy ideas.

I will try again!! Nancy, Wake up your dreaming!! Any woman who would not support another is not worthy of your position, Jealousy is a ugly thing and you have went out of your way to hurt Hillary. She will remember this and as a woman I will too at voting time.

Stop your whining people. Everyone knows that it doesn't matter who Obama chooses as VP. Whomever he chooses will be the best for America and the interests of every American. McCain will continue to bring down the country and our reputation across the world. We need to vote for the future of America and that's Obama. Let's send our country in the right direction!

PELOSI BECOMES SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND HASN'T DONE A DARN THING, BUT NOW SHE WANTS TO PUT HER TWO CENTS WORTH INTO WHO SHE THIKS WOULD MAKE A GOOD V.P.
GO HOME TO CALIFORNIA AND LET BARACK MAKE THE DECISION.
HOEPFULLY THERE WILL BE A NEW SPEAKER WHO WILL WORK TO GET SOME THINGS DONE. HILARY WOULD DO A GOOD JOB AS SPEAKER.

I think she would be smart enough to keep her nose out. There is a all out try to have her lose her job . She has caused so much trouble for the party along with Obama and Dean that sooner or later one would be smart enough to keep their mouth shut.

the majority of voting americans cannot be as goofy as some of the comments, and professional commentary, that have followed barack obama throughout his campaign for president. america faces a simple choice: does it wish to stay rooted in the politics and ideologies of the past, or go forward successfully into the future? as in the time of abraham lincoln, americans may have to make a bold choice in spite of themselves in order to preserve unity going forward into the future.

one black american

I think readers should educate yourself about this guy first before they bad mouth him and run off into oblivion. Go to his website, its easy to google and than you know who the guy is. He is and has been a great champion for the veterans and is a man of faith. He has received many awards for all the great work he has done for our men and women in the military and on the military appropriation committee. Has served for many years. Educate yourself first before spout off your. I am a Republican and this man is a great guy and a very conservative democrat. I am starting o wonder why I am a Republican since it seems to have become the party of unintelligent morons who just spout off without any intelligence or information. Watch some C-Span and some hearings and you might learn something in the process. McCain is not going anywhere and I would be delighted to have this man serve as a VP for out Nation, he brings a lot of experience, faith and conservatism with him. Probably more than McCain LOL.

The american people do NOT need nor want another Texan in the whitehouse for a long, long time!!!!!

Barack, anything this woman is in favor of, please run away from! She has done more to wreck the Dems in the House…and give us all a bad name. Had she impeached as soon as she took over, she MIGHT have some credibility, but no more. I pray she loses her election in CA so we don't have to see her any more. And now, she says Hillary would be a good choice? HHHMMM…the CA Hillary voters must be pulling for her rival.

Dig the hole deeper.

With leaders like you… democrats will never win a presidential election.

WE HAD THE BEST CANDIDATE EVER….and you all gutted and trashed her and threw away all her supporters.

"McCain '08 for Clinton '12″

What a HORRIBLE concept!! Talk about setting up this country for ruin… An absolutely ghastly outcome. McCain will screw us down so deep into the Bush legacy that we can never escape ~~ then put in
The Clintons again to throw so much of their grease on the works so that the only hope we have of extracating ourselves is starting WWIII…

I pray this is not the way it goes down.

Pelosi is a looser, like her choice for President will be. I hope all those super-delegates are watching and listen to Obama real close. Obama is merely the presumptive nominee, they can still vote for Hillary if they realize their mistake in time to change their minds. Obama changes his mind daily. I guess that is the change you can count on?

Sorry Pelosi I, for one, have had enough of cowboys from Texas. I hope you stop pushing this person on America. You, in my eyes, have lost all creditability since you threw Hillary under the bus. I suggest you mind your own business and do the job you were elected to do.

Pelosi Lugosi. What a monster. Two years the Libs have had the Congress and done nothing but try to get rid of Bush. Idiots everyone of them. She, Reid, Biden, Kennedy and all the Libs in Congress are an example of bad things happening win stupid people gather in large groups.

this lady should decide WHO shes for,, but anyways,, i wanna say,, mccain should learn(maybe hes too old lol) that you take the whole message not just a bit to fit your fancy,, and make it out to look in your favor,, .. people,, this is what he does,, take bits and turn them around,, as you see , he does this to make it look like he actually knows what hes talkin about,, lol,, oh mccain,, hang it up,,, your side kicks cant be there all the time, ,your a poor canidiate for president,,,,,, RETIRE and go away…. far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rep. Chet Edwards endorsed Obama during the March 4 primary and has been mentioned as being on the on short list. He's a serious consideration. He's highly educated in economics (MBA Harvard Business School) and has high credentials, just as Speaker of the House Pelosi says. Being from Texas doesn't hurt either.

IAm a democrat a thanks to pelosi and yhat no brain obama
i will vote for the less of to bone heads

If McCain wins, we'll go with Obama in 2012. Then 2016, then 2020 until he is president. If Hillary couldn't defeat Obama in '08, she has no chance in 2012. The only criticism of Obama is that he hasn't become a Washington insider yet. He'll be one in a few more years.

Please, Please, Please be quite! You threw Hillary under the bus and now you think she could be Obama's VP-there is not the remotest posibly that he would ever consider her. Both candidates should be in the race to the convention and indeed they both would be if Hillary had been a man! I don't blog much anymore, but consider myself part of a very large quiet hard working educated majority that are very disappointed in the Democratic Party, Obama, the news media and extremely concerned of the Sate of this Union.

PELOSI is NOTHING!!! She has NO guts and has done NOTHING since becoming SPEAKER. And, I'm sure she'll do NOTHING if her sweet baby Obama is elected. Let's WRITE-IN HILLARY - IN 08!!!! Obama + Pelosi = FALSE PROMISES!!!

I find it very strange that this country should fear the popularity of Obama in Europe. And then I read the blogs left here and understand that most of the people slinging the crap, are left over Hillary supporters. Tell me people are you willing to wait for her four years from now? We do not have four years! We cannot wait for the once impeached Clinton's to save us. Your anger fills the hearts of Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and theru followers. I have been a republican for forty years and I wouldn't vote for anyone but Obama. Just imagine, a president that the rest of the world likes!

Anybody but Hillary….

OBAMA 08 -16

Madame Speaker,

I support you and the Democrats, but, Senator Obama will need to choose a running mate he is comfortable with, as has been stated by him in the past!

And WHO cares what Nancy Pelosi has to say about ANYTHING???
The BEST IDEA is for the Democrats to Get Rid of Nancy Pelosi for she has Proven To Be the Biggest Nothing in Congress. She's definitely NOT a leader of anything but voicing hate toward President Bush. Nancy Pelosi is a Big Time Loser.

Pelosi needs to stay as far away from any decision Obama makes. She has already made Obama look like a puppet of the DNC. She is just as bad as Bush - her leadership of Congress has been terrible.

Californias—-PLEASE, PLEASE vote her out of office!

Obama/Pelosi or Obama/John Edwards. Both of these potential VPs would be quality choices without a doubt.

Give Matt Gonzales from California the nod for Vice-President!

she wanted to get her name in the paper during recess

First of all, wondering why anyone thinks it's a good idea to pick a senator (or any legislator)? Both candidates are already senators; they need to pick someone with executive experience, either a governor, a business leader or a general. McCain would do best with the CEO of eBay or Pawlenty. Obama probably would do best with Bill Richardson, Wes Clark or Claire McCaskill. I know Nancy's trying to get the house some representation, I just don't think it's a good idea to have two legislators running the country.

Secondly, this would bring Obama no competitive advantage. Chet Edwards is a white male from a state Obama won't win anyway. No that white males should be excluded from consideration, but Obama is under a lot of pressure to pick a woman or a minority. If he is going to pick a white male, he should pick one with a great deal of executive experience. I'm not saying this is my mindset, but it is the affirmative action mindset of the Democratic Party.

Pelosi is an incompetent twit. She's in so far over her head she doens't even know which way is up. She's a blatant afirmative-action plant.

LIAR PELOSI, GO AWAY YOU ARE THE WORST AMERICAN POLITICIAN , CLINTON 2012

Jdhn Edwdrds cheated on His Wife and Liberal Media is covering it up.

I think the Dems should elect a Dems for presidential nominee and VP. And Hillary Clinton should be one of them.

Sorry, It will not be Hillary 2012, We will not voter for her. We will remember how she pulled out the kitchen sink. It backfired on her and she cried foul. If we forget, believe me the GOP, attack machine will make sure remember. The Republicans are so much smarter than we are. They will try and bring Obama down and PUMA will be right there, with them. Then in 2012, they will turn on Hillary and put all of her garbage on the table, while reminding us how Hillary stayed in a race she had know chance of winning. She had lost in February, but no instead of her doing the right thing she caused a division that will not be repaired in a long time. At least through 2016. So Republicans congragulations on your game plan. You have a good thing going.

Maybe oshama should select her as his running mate then they would have two people on the democratic ticket. One who has not accomplished anything and one who is a do nothing . At least they would have the same platform, tax and spend.

Chet Edwards would be a fascinating choice. He might even be able to bring in Texas. I think Chet would temper Obama's embrace of Bush's failed faith-based policies. Chet is a champion for a strong separation of church and state. What would the Aggies do if one of their own was up for VP? Further, he would be a fantastic president!

Do your job and shut the hell up..

I saw Nancy on This Week this morning talking about energy policy. She was the picture perfect poster child of incompetence. She has no idea what she is talking about when it comes to energy independence. Her formula, when you analyze it, is higher energy costs and a lower standard of living for all Americans. The rationale, global warming.

Get ready America for a United States run by Pelosi, Reid and Obama. Our children will suffer greatly for our foolish choice this November.

Sure, Barrack…………Pelosi is really………the one you want to listen to for choosing your VP. What arrogance! She must think she is the 'one' who knows all.

Does it honestly matter?

McCain will perpetuate the failed policies of yesterday. I value this country and I am voting for Obama regardless of his vice presidential decision.

It seems like it is getting harder for Obama to pick a VP when the head of his starts mentioning names. Can't we stop that VP blah- blah and let Obama or his staff pick someone that can help him defeat McCain in November. The country cannot have another Bush/McCain.

cant wait for a Dem Pres. house and senate …stop the repub fillerbusters and veto's

As an interested Canadian, I'd like to know just what is the cause of the infatuation with Texas as a source for VP candidates.

I would have guessed that the Democratic party would want to breathe some fresh air into the special cadre of people selected for the top positions in government. Instead, more Texas !

And where are the women ?

I am in complete agreement with Brad as he sees the situation with an open-mind. Nancy needs to go, she has not been anything but a total failure, and the low ratings that Congress have received can prove that. Actions speak louder than words. Nancy loves nothing more than to put blame on the president and never allow herself to be blamed for the mistakes she has made in the last two years - which is nil because she has done absolutely nothing!. I would not trust Nancy's judgement either regarding her pick for a veep - she has no intellect and should not make suggestions when she, herself, has failed at her job as Speaker of the House.

If you don't believe what Brad indicated, then you need to listen to the news and be informed as to what he is referring to. I have asked the same question over and over - what have the Demcorats done in the last 18 months since Nancy Pelosi became the Speaker of the House and Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader? Harry Reid claims that oil and gas is making us sick. Oh, please, give me a break - if that is true, why is he still flying around in his jet and struttering around town in a gas guzzling SUV? It is him that is making us sick - don't do as I do, do as I say!

The price of fuel is up, the cost of food is high, the unemployment rate is at another all time high, people are losing their homes, with the State of NV being the hardest hit, and some banks has been forced to close their doors. In the State of NV, Silver State Bank had to close their doors. A week before that, Bank of NV/First National's Bank was bailed out by Omaha Banks. And, Nancy wants the Democratic Congress to use their "imagination" when voting on whether to drill offshore. Use your imagination? She has got to be kidding - the high cost of fuel is not an "imagining thing" it is the cold, hard fact!

Impeach, impeach, impeach - that all we hear about Bush among the Democrats, excuse, me, but you need to research the voting records of the Democrats and you will find that the Democrats, with the exception of a few, were just as responsible for the war in Iraq as President Bush. The surge is working in Iraq, but Obama is in denial, and he thinks he has a better plan. Yeah, right, bring the troops home and then, following on their heels the terrorists will be entering our country from every angle.

I am a registered Democrat, but I must say the Democratic Party is not what it use to be!

One person i don't trust at all is Nancy Pelosi. This fox in a snake's skin should not be elected again and who cares what she things. Under her leadership, congress has the lowest approval rate.
She should just shut up and listen to what people say.

why the support for this virtual unknown? sure it would be out of the norm, which may be a good strategy, but are there other reasons? peolosi has not proven to be an effective leader thus far, so the big question is why should anyone take her advice.

Trying to be relevant when your book flopped on Amazon.com.

We need to remove you, that is what we need to do.

Ms. Pelosi, you are the biggest liar and hippocrite in the democratic party!!!

Remember these words?? "The Super-delagates should not overtrun the will of the people" ….well, what was the will of the people 18 million votes later?

Shut the Heck up..no one cares what you think!

Pelosi,
Don't even talk about Hillary you threw her under the bus in the primaries so you and the DNC could install Obama. I have lost all respect for the Dems.

why do mccain supporters need to comment about the Democratic VP choice? Worry about your own candidate. He needs lots of help….

Who cares what Nancy thinks.

Hillary where are you????

What I don't understand Madame Speaker is that you was so against Senator Obama picking Hillary Clinton for VP and yet you suggest someone whom no one has ever heard of. I am not quite sure how this helps Barack Obama get elected.

What possible interest can there be in anything Nancy Pelosi says? She did her best during the primary campaign to divide the Democratic Party, and she's accomplished virtually nothing as Speaker of the House.

At best she can be described as dysfunctional, at worst destructive, Karl Rove in a dress (and a fairly unimpressive face lift).

Her botox has slipped into her brain. Maybe Cindy Sheehan will beat her out. Dems always pick flakes.

Good Choice.
