I want Clinton on the ticket, she earned my vote and it should be voters choice who will be second in command. Silly that we do not have a say in that position. Well, my say is its Clinton or I stay home.

Maybe they will become his secret advisors instead. Maybe he will pick Barney Frank or Larry Craig. I think he likes Larry better since both he and Larry won Idaho, while Hillary beat Obama in MA. By the way Hillary won the mid west; both coasts; and Michigan, Florida and Texas. Tell me again what states Obama won? Oh yeah, I forgot, Bam won Iowa. Give me a break. Bam is a loser and is a risky choice. I thought the wonderkiind Obama was picking a candidate with a foreign sounding name like Mohammed or Ashai. Maybe they will become his secret advisors instead.

Obama really wants to share the stage with anyone and certainly not one who is more qualified than he to be the nominee. That is why he probably won't pick Hillary Clinton. The problem with this narrative is that without her on the ticket, his path to win in November is much more difficult. Every other choice will be compared to her and they will be found deficient. Either they will not be experienced or knowlegeable enough or they will not be charismatic enough. Good luck Senator Obama. I wish you well. You can choose to win big with Hillary Clinton or you can slog it out and hope that you can eke out a win. You can get close without her and you may win but with her this election is over.

Also I would like to point out that under his plan that $1000 would also go to help the people on govt. programs.

McCain will go into those town hall meetings and those Presidential debates and wipe the floor with Obama. Why else would Obama refuse to do the town hall meetings with McCain. All McCain has to do right now is keep the polling numbers close until the real election begins, after the primaries. Then he will hit those debates, show his experiance and knowledge on a wide variety of issues and leave Obama stumped. The Media has seriously hurt Obama, and so has his own campaign. They talk so much about Obama, they show so much of Obama, he is losing the new quality he had. People are getting over their inital obsession and starting to look at him. Obama needs a VP who can be a pit bull. Who can go out there and sell the negative ads about McCain, who can fight hard in the VP debate, and who can rally the independant and moderate voters who are nervous about McCain. He needs a populist, he needs someone with experiance. Right now Obama is trying to play for the middle ground and not piss of anyone. Unfortunatly that won't work. He is trying to win states that are to different to support the same person. He needs Hillary Clinton. He will piss off some people but her advantages outway her disadvantages. As for Bill, he spends most of his time abroad now anyways. Simply ban him from the White House, keep public appearances with him and Obama to a bear minimum and show Hillary a lot at the White House. The only other way this works without Hillary as VP, is if he leaks or announces that Hillary will be part of his Cabinet in a substantive role, such as Secretary of State or Attorney General. This will motivate her supporters to get out and vote so she gets something. McCain is a better debater than Obama, just like Hillary was a better debator than Obama.

Among Democrats it is no secret that there is a push for Hillary to run, either after Obama loses or after he finishes his time as President. Either way, few of these people would want to go against Hillary, so there is little motivation behind being Vice President. Which would explain why a number of the more ambitious people have said no. Further, the polling numbers are starting to scare people in the party. I think Obama is letting speculation run wild around a few candidates he would be most intrested in and see how the numbers play. I think is staff has reservations about Hillary, but I do believe them when they say they were friends, espcially since Hillary helped him get elected to the Senate. I think they will look at the numbers and in the end it will be the Obama / Clinton ticket, a lot of people want.

I'm sure if it was up to CNN, they would hand the election to Mc cain, just report the news in a fair and balance way. I just saw a segment on filp flopping, which would supposedly talk about both candidates flip flops, but in true cnn fashion, ONLY 0bama's filp flops were mentioned, this is such BS!!!

You can put me on the list. The guy has been on the national scene for a year and already most are sick of him. It's because he has nothing new to say. It's all old left leaning democratic policies he's selling. The man is a joke. But maybe I'll see the light and have an epiphany and vote for Barack, but I doubt it. Where did Rev. Wright go or how about Michelle? Did they go on vacation? There was a poll that just came out that said that half of the people are already sick of hearing about Obama. You can put me on the list.

There are democrats for Obama and those against. Those of us who do not support Obama will not support him no matter who is on the ticket. While I'm not going to run and vote for a republican, I will not suport someone I do not believe in either, just because he's a democrat. Obama is running on arrogance and rhetoric. You would have thought that we would have learned after G.W. Bush, but apparently not. Obama is just a democratic version of G.W. Bush.
