Senator Obama is out of his league. The good folk of this country thought they were getting all that in 2000 and look where that got ya. Senator Obama is going to make "W" look like the third coming of Christ. Hopefully a ruckus and common sense will prevail at the convention.

Setting that aside, excluding Edwards any of the presidential candidates will make an excellent Veep.

Obama/Biden 2008 has a good ring to it.

theres no doubt that obama will get the nomination,, after what mccains pulled, his jokes are not funny and hes not serious about anything here,, wonder whose advising him??,, or do we care,, ???? obama08!!!!!!!!!!!yes we can and we will

Tim Kaine seems the right choice for Obama...he looks like another
shooting star..rising quickly but steadily; the state of Virginia has
chosen this man as their leader for good reason.

Obama/Kaine '08!

I am for whoever Senator Obama chooses. He is intelligent enough to know who will complement his presidency. I really used to be in favor of Senator Clinton becoming his choice and although a part of me still does, I'm afraid that the negativity and bitterness directed towards him on account of her would not make her a good choice. Senator Obama will make the right decision though..

How about J. Edwards or is his girl friend stopping him?
If Obama wins you will have to leave the country to find a job. That is you even want one and not suck off the gov.
McCain 08

CAN McCAIN MAKE A SPEECH WITHOUT SAYING 'my friends"
IN ONE SPEECH HE SAID IT 6 TIMES. THE MAN IS A COMPLETE IDIOT.

Obama should put an end to the Hillary for VP nonsense.

Hopefully, he’ll announce his vp choice (Tim Kaine) next week, which will result in a MEDIA trifecta where they consume themselves with endless politicking about the following:

1) Hillary’s future with the Dems and what ifs.
2) When and who will McCain choose.
3) and, who exactly is Tim Kaine, and what does he bring to the table.

Meanwhile, Obama can take his week off from politics as the MEDIA spins his decision a million ways.

P.S. — Even FAUX News will forget about this silly idea of Obama playing the so-called “Race Card”.

The year is 2008 not 1789 – centuries have come and gone and this country has yet to nominate, let alone elect a woman president. Throughout the world we have women world leaders: Angela Merkel- Germany; Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf-Liberia; Gloria Arroyo- Philippines; Pratibha Patil – India; Christina Fernandez-Argentina; Michelle Bachelet-Chile; Luisa Dogo-Mozambique; Tara Halonen-Finland; Mary McAlesse-Ireland. And let's not forget the women leaders through the years – Margaraet Thatcher, Benazir Bhutto, Golda Meir; Indira Ghandi and yes even Isabel Peron.

Instead Americans are subjected to gender-biased media converage; hip-hop rappers like Ludacris who calls Hillary Clinton "irrelevant", someone telling Hillary Clinton to go iron his shirt; nut cracker novelty items displaying Hillary Clinton's name. America – the world leader – is really the world juvenile. Obama smirks when Hillary Clinton is disparaged because it meant more votes for him during the primaries. He never opened his mouth – a man who is all mouth – to say STOP IT. He will never get my vote. It's time for a woman – it's a write-in for Hillary Clinton.

This man is just like Obama, he will do anything for his own rewards. He was elected to serve as governor of Va not for VP..If he is on the ticket and elected the governorship will go to a republican. But does he care if Virginia has a republican governor oh NO as long as he sits behind the desk of VP...

PUMA

anyone who Obama chooses will be fine by me ....

Unlike the crowd i don't base my vote on VPs

I don't care WHO flip-flop flim-flam phoney lying race-card playing man Obama picks for VP

I will NEVER forget that he stole my vote when it would have counted

YES HE DID disenfranchize me – and I will remember come November

It's kinda hard to forget something like that!

McCain secured his nomination several months ahead of Obama so why is its still to this day McCain has not selected a VP?
It seems he is waiting on Obama to make his pick so he can then FOLLOW!
By now McCain should have picked his VP just another instance of how McCain is NOT ready to Lead!
Obama 08/12

I voted for Obama in the primaries and lost a lot of respect for Clinton during that time with the negativity and all that, but putting all that biased thought out of my mind I would say that Clinton as Obama's VP choice would be a slam dunk for the Dems in November. I don't think Obama needs Clinton to win, but she would certainly guarantee a win for him.

Cue the sissy boys / little girls club (aka PUMA) and fake Democrats that want to state their spiteful intention of voting for McAncient if Obama doesn't select Hillary as his running mate...

It's a real shame the media is no longer counting in Hillary. 18 million people are still rooting for her.

I think that people are going to now vote based on vice presidents. Which is a big deal. I think alot of polices need to be changed. As for example superdelagets that was not in 2004 election. Whats up that they can change their minds and delegates cant? this election is messed up.
-------------------------------–
superdelegates were always there...they just never mattered until this year.

Biden or Clinton for Obama. He needs a good attack dog.

i like govenor of veginia because of obama can trust him with everthing because he endorsed obama when things are not going to well with obama at the beging of the campaign.my openion is that the gov show on on good judgement.

Is Kaine girly too. He may be a chick like O-bambi, so now two girlymen together? What is happening to this country?

It will make good sence if he him but let the strategy work on the point of obama wining the election.

Obama needs to pick Hillary Clinton. If not Senator Clinton then definitely Mayor Michael Bloomberg. If Obama doesn't pick either of those two heavyweights then I think he might take a temporary dive in the polls. All in all however, I am quite sure Obama will indeed win this election. I think the publics respect for mccain is starting to plummet. But if America does the folley and chooses McCain, I will be out of this country by 2010.

the mud-slingin should stop,, its time to get back the issues,,,, mccain,, grow up,,, your actin so childish,,, gettin your jolliews outt neg ads and jokes,,,, what a poor choice for a canidate

O – Bama

O – 8

O – Yeah

O – Bama

Maybe before the election is over some reporter will ask the question I want an answer to – As a Korean Veteran I want to know – What determines when the WAR IS WON? They say we will stay the course and win the war. Who decides this and when? I may not hear the question asked or answered on air so if possible e-mail me.

I am sure that the right attack machine and the McCain campiagn are working on digging up any dirt they can find on all the potential running mates for Obama as we speak, since no matter who they pick and what that person may say or represent, their campiagn has no winning message to give the public. They are going to lose anyway as the entire media is missing one thing, 55 million potential voters that are never polled because they use cell phones to communicate, and so can't be polled with about 90% of those being for Obama!!!

Let me add mine--
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!

Obama/ Whomever '08

I feel sorry for the person Obama picks.

If anything goes wrong, they will be the one blamed.

If he loses, they will be the one blamed.

The Obama way has been to blame others for all things. He never ever accepts responsibilty for anything he does or any wrong he does.

I can wait to see who the dumb person is that accepts the position of being the fall guy for everything.

Give it a rest will you???

I'm sure Obama will pick someone that will work well beside him.
I trust his judgement!

Obama needs to pick Clinton..if not millions of democrats will stay home...We need this ticket to take back the White House.

Well since the negative ads have already started, and their are many serious issues going on in the world, perhaps it would be a huge anti-climax if either candidate revealed their VP selection just yet.

Would it honestly make you like or dislike a candidate based on their VP selection?

Latinos for McCain 2008

Obama is a LOSER!!!!! and a Whiner!!!!!

Latinos for McCain 08

Obama is going to lose so his VP choice doesn't matter! If his numbers are way down he might ask Hillary but she would be foolish to accept!

McCain has many excellent choices so his choice is really interesting to think about!

McCain 08 and Hillary 2012! This is the only way to go unless you want America to enter a downward spiral that will reach far into the future.

+ad on to last comment
his "record high voters"
Are coming from such states as: Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota, Wyoming, South Carolina, and other die hard Republican states-

Even the states he wants to turn over are still leading Republican

+CNN doesn't even poll the real people it seems since I don't know of anybody in this poll
but out of 300 million americans its normal

With the polls leading the Democrats only 3 percent? Shame didn't all those others who had crazy supporters have like 17+ points ahead

Wow its easy to tell the first time voters who support Obama because they think that a small lead is a good thing

You don't know Republicans

Whoever he picks he is dead- unless of course Clinton which won't happen

McCain just needs a conservative- he has the independents covered

I personally would like that Minnesota guy

Who cares who Fraud obama wants as VP – he Will NEVER be elected – he is NOT qualified to lead our country – so pick your grandmother for all I care – or maybe your "uncle" Rev. Wright.

"usually the negative ads ...... haven't appeared yet" ????????????
What do you think McDubya is doing ?
Running Howdy Doody re-runs ?
That poor excuse for a human being has been nothing but negative.
Well, he's been a liar too ............

Surely in a nation of 300 million people there are hundreds capable of being President if called upon. Indeed, when our nation was born with only about 3 million, there were dozens of white men who could have done the job. Now, we have men and women of every race to choose from! Boo to the press talking heads who will inject cynicism into the selection of the VP candidates for both parties. Instead, please give us the candidates' positions on the issues so we can be informed voters.

Go ahead Barack and choose Governor Kaine. Senator McCain will choose Representative Cantor from Virginia. Whoever you choose, it will be checkmate and you lose. Senator McCain is sooooo much better at playing this game.

Barack,

I am a supporter. Even gave you money. I will support an Evan Bayh on your ticket. However, in a fight, you need a fighter. Obviously not Clinton b/c you may not be able to trust her. But Biden has the ability to speak his mind. I believe he was instrumental in Democrats being the majority party in 2006 with his weekly appearances. Do not fall for those who will say his foreign policy will overshadow you. You are a special politician that many of us do not believe can be overshadowed. That being said, you need someone with the ability to go to the hill for you as you inspire and lead our country. Someone who can call John McCain OLD and INCOMPETENT and not be attacked because they are old also, but not as old in terms of mid 60s in comparison to 72.

I will respect your choice but wanted to put this email plea out. Have confidence in yourself that no one can outshine your great talents. That is something that I have taken from your candidacy personally. Lastly, please raise the issue of COMPETENCE. This campaign is about the ability to go out to a town hall or meet with a leader (see Dali in Denver) without the need to have notecards in your hand. This is not a picture I believe the American people want their president to portray. It may not be that Senator McCain is too old to remember, it may just be that he is not as competent as you. You are a Harvard educated professor. He is someone that graduated 2nd from last at the Navy. Believe me, in this time of need for a smart politician, we need competence in the Whitehouse. We have had enough of the guy who shares my values and the guy that is like me. I for one as an independent would like the smart guy.

Nobody wants to be vp for bobble head Obama. He reminds me of Bush when he ran for the CHANGE president too. Arrogant, no foreign policy experience, and lost every debate. Unbelieveable and he still got elected, not once, but twice and look what happened. We got CHANGE alright. I hope the american people don't make that mistake again by electing Obama. The inexperienced Messiah.

VP hysteria is only in the minds of the CNN talking (empty) heads. You people are just itching. It get's sickening to watch Blitzer salivate at the very thought of being able to bring it up over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ...................................

Go Barack, lead and pick your VP now
and let McCain pick his own Oliver Hardy.

Your right about the lull. These two jerks are both boring. The only excitement is which one will flip-flop next. So far, Obama is ahead on the flip-flops. FISA,NAFTA, and now OFF-SHORE DRILLING. His race card is getting worn out and he needs a new deck of cards, all jokers..

President Obama's judgement has been good-thus far.
He will make the RIGHT CHOICE

IF OBAMA WOULD SELECT HILLARY AS HIS RUNNING MATE HE WOULD WIN BY A LANDSLIDE.
WITHOUT HER IT WILL BE A CLOSE RACE BUT OBAMA WILL STILL WIN.

McCain secured his nomination several months ahead of Obama so why is its still to this day McCain has not selected a VP?
It seems he is waiting on Obama to make his pick so he can then FOLLOW!
By now McCain should have picked his VP just another instance of how McCain is NOT ready to Lead!
Obama 08/12

I conisider my self A Conservative Liberal I think Obama should pick Sen. Clinton as his VP in order to unite the Democrats. If he doesn't he will lose them and lose the election. And to the people who say if he picks here i won't vote for her, these people are the most liberal people and will never vote for Mcain so stop saying that your pissing people off!

OBAMA/CLINTON = Vote Yes

OBAMA/SOMEONE ELSE = I'LL Wait 4 years

I think obama will pick Nancy Pelosi or Larry Craig or Barney Frank

One of the above. They will help the ticket.

WITH "HIS EXPECTANCY" it 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.

"You know the primaries are over, the negative ads haven't started"!!!
Those are the only ads mccain has had. Who are you trying to kid?

OBAMA/BIDEN

Since there is a very real chance of McSurge not living through his Term(s). His choice of a VP candidate is of a vital concern to his potential supporters.

Obama is all in denial that he is taking advantage of his "color".

He should instead be proudly accepting the fact, that YES, he is NEW, and his "skin" is giving him advantage, he has movivated lot of his skin color people to get involved. Nothing wrong in accepting the FACT, it won't hurt whites.

Then, he is shy of one-on-one debate with the old guy, WHY ?
If he thinks he has substance, go ahead and take on the opposition party, why run away from public debate ?

If he dosen't choose Hillary, he can kiss the Presidency GOODBYE.

Im Sure Obama Will Use The Same Good Judgement He Has Been Using And Choose Wisely!

he has good creds.
