CNN

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".
Jack C
Portland OR

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.

justsaynodeal.com said:

"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.

someone need to stand up to the republican war mongers, because they dont have much regards for the lives of american young men and women in uniform, all what they care about is their ideological agender. macbush will start another war with Iran just to re-shape the regio.

All Hail the Houses of Pelosi and Reid. In the last 2 years, the most open, the most honest, the most transparent bunch of do-nothings in recent memory.

Hey Nancy! How's about dragging your butt back down to D.C. and start formulating a coherent national energy policy. You know, do what you were selected to do. BE A LEADER! Or is that asking too much? Oh, and how many times are you going to say "It's all Bush's fault"? People are going to get tired of hearing that, especially after he's been out of office for 4 years.....8 years.......12 years.

Because I actually believe that there are enough stupid people in this country who will continually vote you and your cronies back into office.

Nancy seems rather out of touch oftentimes. Texas is not in play even with a Texan VP. Edwards does not really broaden the ticket, bring foreign policy experience that Obama lacks or really will create any interest. She said again this week that the surge did not work. Well, a majority of the people think it did; so maybe dropping that talking point would be a good idea. Her get out of town for recess without any measures on drilling for domestic oil and gas; so her members can get blasted at home in their districts doesn't seem like a good move either. 75% of the public wants to expand domestic production. Even if she thinks they are wrong, don't they call members of Congress "Representatives" ? Give the members a chance to represent their voters.

Brad, you hit the nail on the head. Pelosi is a big do-nothing loser. I hope her state of California votes her out of office. On top of that, she made a sham out of the Democratic primary by urging the super delegates and members of congress to endorse a candidate before the national convention, where they could have voted anonomously. Pelosi is a disgrace!.

Brad, Democrats didn't give you any of those things you've listed. Republicans spent 6 years creating these problems. It's unrealistic to expect corrections in less than 10 months, especially when the Democrats don't have a super majority.

Republicans had complete control for nearly 6 years! How about giving them a little credit for the disaster they created. Elect a Democratic majority or they still won't be able to turn things around. It's up to the voters.

McCain, is going negative for the simple reason he have
nothing to same concerning the economy. Know GOP knows
how to take care of home,but maybe some okay,correction.

Nancy Pelosi, a "loser" ?
Rofl !!!
Some bitter persons here made my day.

Why should we listen to anything she has to say? She wrot a book to "America's daughters" and rapped her legs around Obama's neck! She was too evasive on the "View" and refused to answer the question of why she wouldn't support Hillary! Goes to show if her thinking was Hillary has another chance. Come on with that nonsense. Now trying to pull the okey-doke on Bush? Please, the people in Texas don't even know or care about this guy. Besides, he isn't going to have a cake walk this time around if he's running for re-election. All this pandering by the Clinto-turncoats what makes them think any of the states Hillary won will vote for the dems if she's not on the ticket? All the Obama supporters have to go home now. The only one that may get the sympathy vote is Ted Kennedy. Think about it, MA, CA, TX, OH, IN, FL, PA those on the Obama trail better secure their own seats and stop touting Obama...

Isn't it bad enough we get Senator Obama jammed down our throats by the social engineers now they offer an unknown for Veep. And coming from the person who bought into torture, FISA, bailing out Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and couldn't find time for the impeachment of ANY of Bush's illegal administration or a compromise on oil drilling.

What a charlatan you are Madam Speaker.

Pelosi should be jailed for aiding and abetting the enemy. Because of her and the democrats refusal to allow drilling offshore and in Alaska, the U.S. is so dependent on foreign oil and we are sending billions of dollars to the middle east only to have much of it used to attack our country and system.
She is a total disgrace and should be removed from office

Why is it that whenever we see Nancy Pelosi, she brings out the worst in people.

Could it be because she is one of the original flip floppers.

Like as if, anyone believes anything she has to say anymore.

One of the destroyers of the Democratic Party........

The Democratic Party was known for elected a leader not SELECTING a leader and Nancy, Dean, Reed, Bazile et al have set out to destroy this party and they have done a good job. They have succeeded ....CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Brad, how can Pelosi get the job done with so many Republican losers in the House.

There is not going to be a Clinton 2012 whether McCain wins or not

someone else will emerge

it would have been Clinton 2008 if she just apologized for her Iraq vote.

you can't run a general election campaign in the primary even if what you say in the primary comes back on you in the general

I wish Pelosi would endorse McBush, Obama would surly win.She needs to worry about Congress she wanted the job, she won't even impeach the crooks.OBAMA 08
Connie from Indiana

THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN IS HAVING PALOSI WANT SOMEONE. SHE IS THE ONE MOST UNRESPECTED PERSON IN THE COUNTRY NEXT TO BUSH AND OBAMA. HER ENDORSEMENT IS A KISS OF DEATH AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

4 YEARS OF McCAIN IS SAFER THAN 8 YEARS OF OBAMA OR 20 MINUTES OF PALOSI
DEMOCRATS FOR McCAIN

Obama, Bloomberg 08

I hope they get rid of Pelosi after the election, she is such a liar and a fake, she said so many times on national TV that it will be unfair to the nominee if one should suggest to them to pick a VP, so why is she sugesting now for Obama? she also said on national TV that Hilary will not be a good VP for Obama , that she thinks they will not be good together, then she lied on the Today Show and denied she said that ,also in the View she denied it again, that woman is such a flip flop and a air head, how on earth was she elected as speaker in the house? they better get rid of her real soon, she is very bad for the democratic party, I hope she reads this message, and know she is not a favorite person in america.

She has a hidden agenda. I really don't care for this lady. She has not shown the democrates anything but lip service since she has been in office.

Nancy Pelosi had lots of praise for Rep. Chet Edwards of Texas.
someone needto take your place Nancy and take Harry Reid wth you

Go Away!!!

She's too busy saving the world!!!

justsaynodeal... um, you vote for McCain and you vote for stupidity.

I am sick of everyone blaming Pelosi for stuff. The Republicans in congress have blocked everything and Bush has vetoed any kind of progress the congress could have made. It's not the dems fault.

My only beef is they didn't hold impeachment hearings on Bush and Cheney. That's where I have a beef with them.

She needs to get on her broom and fly home for vacation and stay there forever

please just stay out of this and let BHO do his thing...you already screwed the house of rep up so dont mess with the vp

PUMA

Brad & the like need a course in Government 101. Pelosi & the rest of the democrats in the House are not to blame for the the inaction in Congress. Two basic causes of the legislative gridlock: 1) We have a mixed government presently: One party controls Congress, the other controls the executive branch. If they have different policy agendas or see themselves constantly engaged in political rivalry , not much is going to get done. 2) George Bush is the biggest enemy of bipartisanship I can remember & he holds most of the cards when it comes to legislative action. He is also responsible for the atmosphere of distrust that exists amongst our legislative leaders & representatives.

I just thought I liked her.....If Obama does not pick Clinton, then go McCain...

Although I do not know this guy, she does have a point about looking at the House of Reps for a running mate. In my opinion, the Senate needs to keep all of it's numbers.

Obama 08

VP CLINTON.

brad,

her state is california. last poll i saw says 51% favor offshore oil drilling.

that is hardly "overwhelming".

GET LOST NANCY. YOU HAVE DONE ENOUTH DAMAGE TO WHAT IS LEFT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. AND YOU HAVE DONE EVEN MORE DAMAGE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

sounds like chet edwards is everything thqt obama is not.

Where has your head been Brad? Oh that's right you've had it under a rock!!!!! Your guy started the bank scandal. He is about to bankrupt this country too. Wake and smell the roses fella.

Great input by Pelosi!

Ms. Pelosi,
Please stay in your own shop, and help Hillary help the Senate and the rest of the country. No more help from you; we'll call you once your inaction aftereffects have been overcome.
Ronny from Maryland

Hillary for the environment! Bloomberg for business! Hillary or Bloomberg, Hillary or Bloomberg! Hillary for the left! Bloomberg for the center! Hillary or Bloomberg, Hillary or Bloomberg!

Hillary Clinton will get my write-in vote in November and Nancy Pelosi should know better than to promote ANOTHER male into the power chamber. Here we go again. It's been more than 200 years and these power hoarders continue to exclude competent women leaders. Nancy Pelsoi is nothing more than a good ole boy and Obama is nothing more than an affirmative action candidate.

Pelosi's thoughts are respected and honored by long-term democrats. I value her ability to help to unite the party. Until a final decision is made, all should be consider.

How's that book sellin' for ya Pelosi?

I think most Democrats wanted Obama/Edwards in 2008, but they were hoping for John, not Chet. Why won't John Edwards fight back against the tabloids? He's only making himself look guilty by staying silent on the issue.

And SenObama will make the right choice.He aways does!
Just like he is right to not have Billary on the ticket! Her kind of politics is not what Obama is about besides Bill wont know his place!
NO to Empty Suit McCain who's so called 'Experience' didn't tell him that his gas tax holiday was a Terrible Idea!
YES to Obama who has better judgment better understanding of the issues we face today!

Obama 08/12

It's pretty bad when W has a higher approval rating than you do in Congress, Pelosi. Now sit down and shut up. I thought you were supposed to be on vacation anyways. It must be nice to be able to take a month off while people in this country struggle to pay bills. Nobody from the House is on the shortlist because none of you deserve it.

If not Hillary, Obama will lose million of voters. Pick Hillary so he can win.

Hey justsaynodeal, your voting preferences seem widely contradictory. You might want to rethink your 2008 preference. Get over it puma, why would you want to vote the opposite of your own views?

Who cares what this stupid woman has to say? She should impeach herself!

NOBAMA No Matter WHO Is His Choice For VP!

Shut up PUMAs you can't stand that some other woman EARNED her position WITHOUT riding her husbands coat-tails and staying with a lying cheat. KISS OFF

I don't think Nancy Pelosi is a loser at all. She's had to deal with a stubborn bunch of Republicans who have not given in to anything for the last four years, out of some kind of childlike tantrum. Then, she's got to pick up the mess the Clintons left with their negative campaign and Bill's weird antics. I'd say she's doing pretty good given the circumstances.

well all we saw from her talk thats all. we need someone real and powerful to run with Obama

Who would listen to Pelosi anyway , she has emerged as the most useless speaker of the house and the approval ratings of congress are the lowest ever.
Her meddling in the primaries were disgusting and helped Obama become the nominee.
She is one of the many reasons I have left the Democratic Party..!!!

McCain '08 for Clinton '12

Hillary for health care, Bloomberg for road care! Hillary or Bloomberg, Hillary or Bloomberg!

Hillary to unite! Bloomberg to fix our highways and infrastructure! Hillary or Bloomberg, Hillary or Bloomberg!

Who the heck is this guy?

Either Hillary for the super votes, or Bloomberg for the super mind! Hillary or Bloomberg! Hillary or Bloomberg!

Clinton or Bloomberg Obama! One has high popularity and good smarts, the other has high smarts and good popularity. JUST DO IT OBAMA!

You have done enough harm.

stop already

This twit would be the last person I would listen to. This is the same person who made all the first hundred days promises after the 06 election, which she apparently forgot after about 100 seconds. Pelosi has been the lead clown in this do nothing Congress. The title speaker of the house used to mean something, she has taken this Congress in the wrong direction and it will cost Obama the election.

Pelosi should have explained a bit abou the "Veterans" benefit bill that she says Chet Edwards "champions."

The “new veterans/GI” bill is part of the latest overall war-funding bill – NOT a bill entirely for veterans. And putting emotion aside for a moment, we might also consider this:
• The Congressional Budget Office released a preliminary estimate showing the new “GI bill” would cost $51.8 billion over 10 years, with annual cost increases adding another $7 billion by 2018.
• That would make it the most expensive new entitlement program created by Congress since the Medicare prescription drug benefit in 2003.
• Almost everything in this war-funding bill (of which the GI bill is only a portion), including about $163 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan, would be added to a deficit that is estimated to hit $410 billion this year.
• Budget experts outside Congress state that the nation now faces $53 trillion in unfunded federal liabilities over the coming century.
• Some economic experts state that, "No matter how laudable the intended purpose and no matter how important the targeted population is, the absolute last thing we ought to be doing is expanding entitlement benefits.
• They further state that “It does not necessarily ‘honor’ veterans to borrow Chinese yuan to pay for these benefits."

Typical ultra-liberal spend-spend philosophy - never mind that there's no money to pay for anything - WITHOUT INCREASING TAXES!

Can't we just get her to shut up? She and her party promised the American voters the moon, and handed us a bread sandwich with nothing between the bread. Oh, they gave us change, allright. Lets see, failed banks, failed energy policy, failed approval ratings, failed to get anything done. They gave us change, thats for sure. And she's the head democrat running the gaggle they call Congress. Vote her and her breed out! They do nothing. She's telling everyone that off shore drilling isnt what American voters want, but her own state overwhemlingly wants off shore drilling to occur!! What America does she represent?

Yea, Chet would make a good cantidate. He tries to do the right things which is unusual in the Congressional family. Personally I think he ought to be running for president. Go Chet Central Texas and the country need you.

Oh Pelosi, shutup already. You made all these promises to take on Bush with Iraq, etc and all of you Dems we elected to do so back in 2006 ended up backing down and letting Bush get his way. You are irrelvant. There's no way I will be stupid twice and vote for someone who promises us the WORLD. That means I'm not voting for Obama. I would have voted for Hillary in a heart beat. Now I'll be voting for McCain. It's all about the person to me and if I trust them. The Koolaid man has made so many promises and flip flopped on so many issues there's no way I will vote for him. Thanks for helping to create us PUMAs. Maybe somedays the Dems will get their act together again like when we had a CLINTON in the White House..

I dont care what anyone says this woman has more cojones than 95% of the men in Washington. And I love and respect her for it!

"So, anyone of them, I'm fine with."

PS: I really, really, really, really, really like Edwards. Hint hint, nudge nudge, say no more, eh?

(...apologies to Monty Pythons Flying circus...:)... )

EXPERIENCE I have heard this word used so often in this campaign both in primaries and in now prelude to the national election. The claim was Hillary had more than Obama, and now McCain has more than Obama. Let me tell you about EXPERIENCE We have had EXPERIENCE
WITH AN UNJUST WAR. we have had EXPERIENCE LEARNING ABOUT OUR DEAR DEAD SOLDIERS. We have EXPERIENCE SEEING SO MANY INNOCENT IRAKIES KILLED BY RUMFIELDS SHOCK AND AWEBOMBING ATTACKS. Isn't about time we threw out all those EXPERIENCED PEOPLE AND REPLACED THEM WITH SOMEONE WHO WOULD RATHER SEE PEACE ON EARTH INSTEAD OF WINNING A WAR? This war was not fought to defend America. No one attacked us! We invaded them! Enough of EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to Texas A&M while there was a heated race with Chet Edwards and another person (sorry, cannot remember her name) back in 2004.

The district spoken above is also part of the Bryan/College Station area.

From what I remember, it was a nasty affair. Both sides accused of illegal activities and money scandals and everything.

People were calling for his head back in 2004 and 2006. He did not represent central Texas very well, even if his ideologies carried greater merits for the whole country.

Maybe he's good enough and a veteran to be the VP, but I can tell you he was barely liked in the areas he represented.

The long awaited arrival of the 1st female Speaker has proven extremely dissappointing for this life long Dem. Why anyone would seek or accept her advise is beyond me. She has provided no leadership on war or peace, totally ignoring the multitude of monstrous problems we face, caving in to the ultimate dunce Shrub. When the Congress races to embrace the obvious disregard of our Constitution [see Art. 1 and war making, 4th Amendment,and on and on] it gives pause and makes you wonder just how the hell these cowards can so easily turn their back on the men and women who have and are serving in our nation's armed forces. Each of the aforementioned have sworn to uphold this nation's laws as set forth in this document and instead, make a mockery of said oath. God may save the Queen, but let's hope he smiles on Obama and retires the bribe accepting MaCain to a happy life with the woman with whom he conspired. The adultrous officer and gentleman[what a joke] can go fish! No Texan can help O no matter how honest and well-meaning he may be. Our House is completely OUT OF ORDER! Let's all do our duty and vote for an elite mind, not another bubba-been there-done that.

I think Dobbs would be a perfect VP..

I do not believe most people are paying much attention to Speaker Pelosi anymore.
Her taking Impeachment off the table, plus not standing up to "protect and defend our Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic". Such as not following up on the ignoring of Congressional subpoenas for Rove, Meyers, and Bolton shows a disreguard for the rule of law. If that was you or me, we'd be in jail already. They all think they are above the law.
It is because of her inaction as well as Congress not standing tall against these criminals that many of the people I know, now having the attitude – RE-ELECT NOBODY.
Congress has no one to blame but themselves. A Democratic majority is now in danger of disapearing.

In an interview Sunday, Pelosi said, “I didn't want to see a discussion of candidates for vice president without showing the House of Representatives… I just wanted people to be aware of the extraordinary credentials of Chet Edwards. And I hope he will be the nominee

so Pelosi is going to change obama for Chet, That is Great, Obama is worthless anyhow.

Pelosi is a liar. She promised 2 years ago that Dems would curb high oil prices and look where they are today???? Dems have own house and senate for 2 years and she should be held fully accountable...along with all the other useless democrat leaders who have done nothing.

Anyone hear about how the Republicans stayed in session last week and the Dems shut off the lights on them? At least Republicans want to keep working to solve America's problems...Dems want to do zero except raise taxes...yeah, that will solve everything.

it does not matter what she says LOOK WHAT THEY DID WITH THE OFF SHORE DRILLING DEBACLE.. i hope he picks chet edwards......2 no names sounds like a real winner// go obama all the way back to your home state of KANSAS?

Who is pelose to give out advise? By her own standards, she should impeach herself. Her reating is lower than the president's/

Nancy, forget about Edwards! "Talented" and "principled" are the absolutely 2 characteristics bo doesn't want. bo is certainly not "principled" and thinks he's the only "talented" one.

ANYONE BUT CLINTON

please dont allow this woman and her husband near any administration

he will go after all women, and interns
and she will
run every time she sees snipers and that is every moment of her delisional life

anyoen but the clinton dynasty

… I just wanted people to be aware of the extraordinary credentials of Chet Edwards. And I hope he will be the nominee.”

Nominee of What?

It Would be Great to replace Obama with a real Candidate.

What about Rev Wright he would fit right in with you dems.

Nancy – I wish you had been a more effective leader. Lack of congressional accomplishments notwithstanding, backing a guy just because he represents Bush's congressional district as a slap at Bush is a waste of taxpayers money. Don't you have some real work to be doing? If Chet Edwards is so wonderful why hasn't anyone ever heard of him after 9 terms? And what's with backing Hillary as VP now? You went on the record numerous times right after the primaries saying an Obama/Clinton ticket was never going to happen. Now you say you're fine with it? You play politics but don't get anything done in Congress (or should I say, you won't allow anything to get done). You have wasted our money and you're wasting space in Congress. Sad!

And what security credentials does he have? Why doesn't everyone just sit back and allow Barack Obama the opportunity of making his own decision?

Why has Obama lost his lead in the polls?

Why is he not 20 points ahead in a country dismally unhappy with George Bush?

Why is he going to lose in November?

Answers: arrogance, hubris, country club and ivory tower mentality, and a non-patriotic wife.

I firmly believe that Obama would be better off picking Hilary Clinton as his vice president. I think that would solidify the women's vote and she is fighter and knows how to make her point.
SAy what you will about her, she is very quailfied to be the president and I wish the ticket would be the other way around, but that is water over the dam and at first I was for Govenor Richardson, but I believe Hillary would be the best that Obama could pick.

It won't matter, we will have 4 more years of Bush polices ! The GOP is hard at work on the scare tactics ofr voters, because they work and for a hard working American to vote for a GOPer this time around, is like a Chicken voting for Col Sanders !!

Dear Speaker: Please stay out of this. Isn't it enough that the first thing you did upon getting in office, was to say, "Impeachment is off the table". I don't really care to hear who you prefer for VP>

She should stay away from this. Obama should make the decision without any interference.

A Pelosi endorsement has exactly how much value?# If that inept Speaker told me it was blue sky outside, I'd definitely bring an unbrella!

Wake Up Nancy, your dreaming!! You must think very highly of you own opinion. Any WOMAN who will not support another woman is not worth salt or she is so jealous of her that she simply cant bring her self to uphold her. Take your Pick which one you are Nancy, because you have went OUT of you way, to hurt Hillary.

TO HELL WITH NANCY PELOSI !

Nancy, you are disgrace to our nation. We do not need your VEEP neither your support. You are far left liberal. You have no credibility.

But it's what Pelosi wants that matters.

When is Nancy Pelosi's term up so when can elect someone with some courage...How about Barbara Lee. Pelosi is a major disapointment,

Hope Senator Obama looks at all options.

Nancy Peolsi is what is wrong with the Dems. Why can't these politicians keep their opinions private?

The VP choice & decision is Barack Obama's, not Nancy's. She should stick to her day job & let him get on with his campaign.

There is a "great array" of highly qualified Democrats for the VP position but Democrats need every vote in the Senate they can get to either help Obama if he wins or prevent more damage if McCain wins the election. Please don't take anyone out of the Senate!

Democrats and Republicans who are disenchanted with the direction we've been going, please vote for Democratic Senate and House candidates. We seriously need every vote to regain our national sanity.

McCain gave us the ad "The One". In response, I dedicate to McCain the Metallica song "One".

I can't remember anything
can't tell if this is true or dream
deep down inside I feel to scream
this terrible silence stops me

now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
that there's not much left of me
nothing is real but pain now

hold my breath as I wish for death
oh please God, wake me

back in the womb it's much too real
in pumps life that I must feel
but can't look forward to reveal
look to the time when I'll live

fed through the tube that sticks in me
just like a wartime novelty
tied to machines that make me be
cut this life off from me

hold my breath as I wish for death
oh please God, wake me

now the world is gone I'm just one
oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death

darkness imprisoning me
all that I see
absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
trapped in myself
body my holding cell

landmine has taken my sight
taken my speech
taken my hearing
taken my arms
taken my legs
taken my soul
left me with life in hell

Pelosi is a strange person. Many people who hesitate to support Orbama will be turned away from him further because of Pelosi's involvement.

John McCain gives credit to George Bush for the price of oil going down? It shouldn't have been allowed to get that high in the first place.

Why all of a sudden Bush is trying to do ything to ease the pain, people have suffered? I could care less what he does now, he won't be getting any sympathy from me. This Country is in Recession. Who Caused That? And why should the Riches Country in the world be losing everything they have or had?

President Bush had eight years to correct his wrongs.

He is doing a lot of these things to get McCain elected into office, and then it will be the same thing alll over.

Listen up Americans, don't be fooled.

Later for that man, it's too late!

I wouldn't want anyone on the ticket that Pelosi endorses. I am a life long democrat and a woman, but this woman is something else. Unfortunately, this country waited a long time for a woman speaker of the house and unfortunately, we got her. Unfortunately for the rest of us women,she will probably go down in history as the worst Speaker of the House.

NICE TO HAVE ENGAGED CITIZENS ON THE ISSUES

Stay out of it Pelosi!

You have zero credibility!

Does ANYBODY really care what Pelosi thinks????????????
Her numbers are lower than Bush's. Way to go Nancy.

'Dark horse' ?
Can't we keep race out of this ?

This is definitely thinking 'outside the box'. Go on progress - democritize. Up from dark and consuming cynicism, shine with constructive and healthy skepticism. To hearty and enduring citizenship.

We need someone to take Nancy Place........Namely Hillary Clinton

Pelosi, needs to keep her yap shut until she knows what she is talking about. This is the same woman who shutdown congressional meetings while the Republicans were trying to talk about how to lower oil and gas prices. She is the most irresponsible and wasteful politician in Washington.

This is a stupid suggestion. The VP needs to help win one of the highly contested states of Ohio, Michigan, or Virginia. McCain's VP will be from here. McCain has this election locked up unless Obama can change the minds of the people in these states. They are MUST win. No winning in those states, he can have all the votes he want to, he will not take the White House. Look at the Electoral College map...you do the math.

So she won't schedule a vote on offshore drilling until after a 5 week vacation but she can take the time to plug a member of the House of Representatives for VP?

It is wonderful to see where Congresswoman Pelosi's priorities are.

As a Texan and living in Dallas, I would love this! Thanks Nancy, keep whispering it to Obama.

Barack Obama/Chet Edwards 08

I don't think he'll pick Hillary. I don't know anything about the guy he mentioned. I'll do my research some day.

SHUT UP you LOSER!!! You are disgraceful. Go away.
I hope you are unseated in the short term and hope you will be eating out of Hillary's hands.

McCain '08 for Clinton '12

Yes leave it to Pelosi to pick a VP pick that was totally useless-
Not many people actually KNOW this guy and the people who do -aren't really that crazy about him

He won't bring in much

Obama should just stick to the Virginia guy so that he spends all his money there and then crashes and burns when he finds out people actually like issues!

Nancy........maybe if you wouldv'e been the Democratic nominee then you would have picked him but since you're not, then why bother? No offense Nancy but when you guys(Dems) left at Congress, let's just say that I think at least you guys(Dems) wouldv'e done it more accordingly and respectfully. You know how crazy and anxious this country has been the last couple of months. The best you and your peeps couldv'e done is make a some kind of statement or something. You know, what politicians do best...or more likely what they don't do...

As for the Reps staying there, let's just say that there only hope was doing something good for the country. No offense to the GOP but if a TRUE Republican wanted to do this, then they wouldv'e started this 1 year ago. The fact that you are focusing your attention to your perception and agenda when an important election coming up makes me realize how much you cared about our country the last couple of years. Not to mention the aftermath as well. But you know what? You guys are as fractured as the Dems, trust me I got evidence. In some way, you can thank yourselves for what our country has become these last 8 years...

But you know what? The Dems are so dumb there waiting for what my boy wants to do, the GOP are so slow there still thinking about Ronald Reagan...........yep, that's our counry, LOL!!!

She was never fine with Hillary. Now she is?

I would strongly recommend Barack to choose Hillary. Republicans are not voting for him anyway. Maybe they deserve Hillary after what they have done the past 8 years?

And what have you done Mrs Pelosi? I do wander about u alot of times, thats when I have nothing else to do with my self.
Have u ever considered sitting in the sidelines and just being a part of the crowd. You want to be heard n u do such a terrible job

This woman looks as if she is having a neurotic fallout! At the very least, she is distraught because her "selected candidate" is bruised and on the way to defeat! You can never underestimate the intelligence of Americans. I hope and pray that McCain will continue to lead and win. Media, Hollywood, and the democrats are running in circles trying to figure out WHY Obama is not winning–and trailing downward. It looks good on them as they learn that they are unable to throw the election in their favor.

Nancy Pelosi s opinion should not even be concidered after what she and howard dean have put this party through.

Pelosi and the DNC don't deserve to win after installing Obama and pushing an inexperienced empty suit down the throats of the american people. We will speak in November. There is no caucauses to bully people and call them racist. Its just you and the voting boothe.

Kathleen sebelius should be vp or chet Edwards and Kaine.
Secty of state Pelosi and Hillary replace her as speaker. Wesley
clark secty of defense.

I have told you before, time and time again that this Muslim senator is not fit to became President.

I prepare to vote for Mc Cain, He will be the best for the Presidency.

Do you job and keep your mouth shut.

I take what Pelosi says with a grain of salt. She has a political tin ear and a lousy record as Speaker of the House.

Obama needs Joe Biden as his running mate because Obama lacks any foreign policy or national security experience. I know being a community organizer is great preparation for dealing with a worldwide terror network like al Qaeda, but Biden would fill in a HUGE hole in Obama's resume.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008

IF THE AMERICAN VOTERS SHOULD BE DUMB ENOUGH TO ELECT JOHN McCAIN OUR PRESIDENT-–THE NATIONAL DEBT WOULD SKY ROCKET TO 15 TRILLION DURNING HIS FIRST TERM AND IT WOULD GO TO 25 TRILLION IF HE WERE ELECTED TO A SECOND TERM.
AT THAT POINT, CHINA WOULD OWN AMERICA..

I THINK I WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA, AND I THINK YOU SHOULD TOO.

An endorsement by Nancy Pelosi is the kiss of death. The woman is nuts so anything she says can be taken with a grain of salt. Too bad she doesn't stay in San Francisco with the rest of the nuts!

Who is Chet Edwards? I have gotten to know other VPs for Obama and I'm just getting to know this guy.But if he can get Texas for Obama
then He should go for Him.
Carmike,
Detroit,MI.

WITH "HIS EXPECTANCY" IS ALWAYS, "c'est moi, moi et moi.

Give me a break

He is too foreign, too risky, too different, and has a funny name. In his own words. (Obama is not the one)

Let's go to McCain. He is a patriotic, he loves our flag and our democracy. Elect him and he will protect our values.

LOL, I would not be asking Pelosi for advice on anything considering the high disapproval rating of her congress and the poor way in which she handled the primary debacle. I was excited when she was named House speaker but unfortunately she has done a poor job and the first woman Speaker will go down in history as one of the worst. She has lost all credibility.

WE NEED CHANGE IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!! UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA FOR OBAMA!!!

And SenObama will make the right choice.He aways does!
Just like he is right to not have Billary on the ticket! Her kind of politics is not what Obama is about besides Bill wont know his place!
NO to Empty Suit McCain who's so called 'Experience' didn't tell him that his gas tax holiday was a Terrible Idea!
YES to Obama who has better judgment better understanding of the issues we face today!
Obama 08/12

If Obama does not pick Clinton tons of people here in FL, MI, and all over the country are going to vote for McCain and then Obama will lose. I am many people I know in FL who had their votes stolen from them will not vote for Obama without Clinton on the ticket and the race is so close he cannot win with a large number of Dems in various states voting against him.

PELOSI , GO HOME.

"just last Friday" .................you are such a liar. You give new meaning to the word t!ash. Who do you think you're kidding.

Finally... someone who's ACTUALLY a champion for Vets in Congress. McCain may BE a Vet... but his voting record shows he definately doesn't take care of them in Congress. All the Vet's organizations know this too and give him lousy scores when rating him.

Wouldn't that be a pretty sight... all the Vet's organizations supporting Obama instead of McCain? McCain deserves to be abandoned by the Vet's based on his voting record alone. He's EARNED it!!

Maybe Pelosi should actually try to accomplish something as Speaker of the House. She already submarined Hillary's campaign, and we will not soon forget it. We can only hope that she is successful in destroying the Obama campaign before his lack of experience destroys the country.

PUMA - Vote for the best candidate, not the Party - Vote McCain

The math is simple--don't pick Hillary and you lose 25% of her 18 million supporters--and these are people who always vote-
it's actually worse than 25% because many will vote for McCain–like me.

CNN STOP MODERATING MY COMMENTS .... I BELIEVE I SPEAK VERY CLEARLY AND SPELL CORRECTLY ENOUGH TO HAVE SOMETHING PRINTED IN YOUR COMMENT SECTIONS.... OR DO I NOT LEAN TO THE POLITICAL SIDE YOU WANT ME TO?????

CHET EDWARDS is principled? Wow, Nancy Pelosi is so out of touch it hurts. This man is owned and operated by the King Ranch in Texas... in other words, Big Oil...

I know him personally and though he is charming and appears to be a nice guy, he doesn't go to the bathroom before asking the KING RANCH for permission. He is an Exxon man through and through... and this is her majesty's personal pick? Well, so much for her judgment.

Oh yeah, and impeach is off the table for Bush and Cheney, but what about Pelosi?

I just wrote a polite comment, no cursing, no slander, and it was taken out. I wonder who moderates these things?

Pelosi is good to be bringing up every potential candidate for VP. We have a lot of wonderful people in office, in spite of the problem we have with some of them not doing anything for anyone but special interest. they should be vetting everyone with potential. We need someone to back up the "change" candidate. Someone who can help him achieve these goals we have.

Yes, I'm sure Ms Pelosi would like to stick her nose into Mr. Obamas business and try to tell him who to take as his Vice President. Yes, she would like it to be a Texan with ties to W. Yes, she has tried every way in the book to keep W from being helt accountable for the war crimes and crimes against the people of the United States he and his cohorts have perpetuated . Yes I'm sure she thinks this Texan would help her hold off the REAL Democrats from impeaching the lying, no good lout who calls himself "President" . Yes, she thinks she runs the world just as most Republicans in Democrats cloths does but, guess what Ms. Pelosi, the emporer has NEW cloths now and we the REAL Democrats have seen through your cloak and found a dagger under it... Keep your Republican leaning mouth shut. No one wants your opinion on whom should be the real Democrats V.P. least of all Mr. Obama, whom I'm sure already has a real Democrat/logical thinking person in mind...

NOW you say you're fine with Hillary Clinton? OK, now you're back on my list.....you should have quit with "Bush has been a total failure".

Pelosi needs to stay out of it

Speaker Pelosi-

No one I know gets as many vacation days as you and your flunkys. With the country in turmoil, nothing going well. . . . GET BACK TO WORK!!! 5 weeks of vacation, you've got to be kidding me. The Republicans will go back if you ask them. The ball is in your court. But I can guarantee you, you are winning no brownie points going on vacation without addressing the energy issue etc. . . .

oh, now she's fine with hillary after it's all but certain he won't pick her. thanks nancy.

Pelosi helped install the demogogue that has destroyed the democratic party and lost the GE for us democrats.

Thanks, Pelosi

Good – glad to hear he supports vets health care. Obama supports it too.

McCain voted against the increast in vets health care. McCain just doesn't understand – he must think they all came back to millionaire wives. That only happened for John McCain.

Obama '08

Edwards is similar to the fake Evangelists – pretending to be for the "lowly peopl" and lives like a King off the back fo the "lowly people".

Pelosi is acting like the ultimate boss (she's not very bright as one can see as well) as well holding up votes that 75% of American People want. The Parliamentary morons need to be extracted from Congress; so should those who support the rich to the point of ridiculousness.

WE DON'T WANT A DICTATORSHIP.
Jack C
Portland OR

Obama should BAN Nancy Pelosi from speaking for him. First, he offended so many women and core Clinton supporters during the primaries. Two, she is the MOST unpopular speaker in history. Women know why she is against Clinton. Her calculation is that Hillary Clinton as a President or VP automatically puts her claim the the speakership in danger, because she is afraid many may not be comfortable with women holding two of the top leadership positions in the country. Obama should think of winning and NOT what Nancy Pelosi thinks. Think this: How come Ms. Pelosi has not proposed a female candidate for VP? Go figure...whatever happens, her era must end in January!!

Time to clean house in Washington, "5 weeks vacation for a job well done" give me a break. Vote all of them out and start over.

CNN is in the tank for Obama. CNN has now become the most unreliable news network behind MSNBC.

Whats the point of replying to these comments on the weekend when they ignored all of them on saturday. Now all it says is permalink? Why have a "leave your comment" here if you are planning to ignor it all?

he has good creds. with vets.

she better worry about keeping her own positiion in california, she hasnt be a great speaker of the house as even dems know very well

I can't think of any thing nice to say about plastic face Pelosi and do nothing congress. I can remember all of her now broken promises she made in 2004. I was thrilled when she took over as Speaker of the House and what a disappointment She needs to step down and put someone in who will help the American people.

Anybody but Clinton.

Nancy Pelosi should go back into her dungeon and play with her whips. She's good for one thing: nothing.

Pelosi is a big part of the reason I am no longer a democrat. She was/is jealous of Hillary and she worked against her. I would not vote for ANYONE she suggests. The woman should resign.

NACY PELOSI NEEDS TO SHUT-THE-f*&k UP!!!!!!!HER DIARRHEA IS GETTING OUT OF CONTOL.......THERE IS ALL THIS RUN-OFF FROM HER MOUTH BUT IT DIARRHEA.....OF NO USE TO ANYONE....DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN.........I PERSONALLY WON'T VOTE BECAUSE OF HER DIARRHEA MOUTH.......

I truly believe that Rep. Chet Edwards will be the VP, she is just mentioning the others so people don't get mad about not picking Hillary. I really don't care, I am still not voting for Obama after how the DNC, Pelosi, Obama, and Dean did not do anything about speaking against those trashing Hillary!

I saw the show – Pelosi appeared dishevelled and confused.

What's with all this hogwash about "race card."

Senator Obama made reference to his skin color. That is legitimate.
McCain and his suggogate then gave a diatribe about the race card. That is not legitimate. The term race is 1) a social construct that has no validity, 2) socially divisive, 3) scientifically wrong, and 4) a myth. To state that Sen. Obama belongs to the black race is as ludicrous as to say Sen. Lieberman belongs to the Jewish race.

I have just Youtubed the man. He seems qualified.

McSame's Camp: Wink, wink, Obama is a celebrity( envy), Race baiter( lies), Inexperienced( Gop b.s) by the way did i mention that i know nothing about the Economy and other issues really important to Americans, hopefully if i can keeep them distracted long enough with non-issues maybe i can yet steal this election(HELL NO!).
Obama 2008. DEMS WAKE UP!!! it's time we started pushing back against the Gop slime machine.

This woman needs to learn no one cares, if she wanted to run things she should have ran for President. I can't stand her and her power trips. She's just as guilty for the partisanship in Washington as George Bush.

Um dreams of taking Texas from red to blue? Sounds too good to be true, but if it high lights his support for Vets, could mean a big difference in VA and Fla.

Iwouldn't trust Pelosi's judgement on anything,

Obama is the best candidate in this election and whoever he picks as his VP will be the best candidate.

Pelosi is such a joke!

CNN, how many times do Lindsey Granham and John McCain have to tell you, you can't use the word "darK' in anything after this week. Can't use "White Horse" either. There goes something really imiportant, a good bottle of Scotch!

NO more TEXANS!!
