I wouldn't believe Rudy if he told me water was wet. Keep dreaming no democratic would cross lines to run with McCain. McCain should pick his translator Lieberman as VP.

CNN: Why do you always close the comments so early on?

I find this election depressing. It's a shame that the actions of a few will affect millions. I want to suggest that my fellow country men get together and elect someone who is interested in the people first, but if this nominee happens to have an un-American name (just for kicks, lets say Barack Obama) and does not have pale white skin, most will cut their noses off to spite their faces. Not only that but they will claim they didn't vote for him for all other reasons other than the real one. I am not sure if I have completely lost faith in this country, but I know my faith has been greatly diminished. I hope they prove me wrong in Nov, but judging by all the "Democrats for McCain", "PUMA", "Hillary or Bust" , "Clinton supporters to stage '18 Million Voices March" BS, it just looks like I'll completely lose it. Maybe if we put more emphasis on education in this country, people wouldn't be duped so easily…but then again, they probably would just find more sophistocated ways to do it.

2008 McCain picked 2000 McCain to run as his vp.

I am amazed some bloggers here think Sen. Clilnton would even consider joining McCain's ticket! She is grounded in Democratic values and strongly supports the Democratic platform and candidate (Obama).

Winning or losing to another Democrat in a primary election is a normal part of one's political career. I support Obama, but I know Sen. Clinton would not abandon her principles. Let's give her credit for integrity!

Kind of shows why Rudy was sent packing

Mr. McCain Get out there and tell us what your going to do for us, how your going to fix the problems, leave all other garbage out. You must bring our troops home, you must get to the bottom of oil crisis, by taxing big oil, Sir if you don't give on these issues you could NOT possibly win the election. Its your ONLY chance,say what you mean and for all our sakes mean What you say.

Nothing and no one can help McCain. Only one thing worse than a loser, and that's an old loser.
And for those of you so-called Dems who believe in cutting of the nose to spite the face by voting for McCain because you can't have Hillary,
get over it and get a clue — SHE'S not voting for McCain, so why should you?

Just because the poor are forced away from public areas to spray their graffitti–and do not leap into the street to wash windows–because theres a cop on ever corner-and their tazers are used daily–doesn't mean those homeless and poor are any better off–they are just better hidden.

To—So Tired of Obama …….get some Rest !!!!
You will get over It …….I am sick and tired of You
**** Giuliani! Wonder why McAttack did not Pick you ……You are a Republican….you both have cheatedt on your wives and Look like a Monkey

HEY RUDY! get lost you pretender.

Lieberman is no longer a democrat..

Oh yeah? Since when are Democrats good enough, smart enough, etc. to run as John McCain's V.P.? He is nothing but a joke!

I believe McCain will do anything to win this election….I wouldn't be surprised if he asked Obama to be his VP, just to win!

And McCain would not see that as flip-flopping at all!

Seeing the truth – How can he pick the Mesiah. Isnt he running for president already?

Will not happen. I guess No Obama news makes for a boring blog.

We are suppose to listen to a man whose run for the Presidency included campaigning in only FL?

I supported Giuliani….but…I am now on the Obama camp -

"America needs a uniter, America needs Obama,
this world needs Barack Obama."

hahaha….OHH YOU WERE SERIOUS? SORRY.

It make me sad to see so many supporters of this idiot whose solution to the Gas Prices is to put air in our tires and get tune-ups. Ohhh thanks for that mr. mechanic errr President. LOL, what a tool. the solution is not to depend on foriegn oil genius.

The real problem is liberals in this country and their "feelings". Think for once, it helps.

Also, please if you are on welfare kindly sit this election out until you are actually supporting yourself.

I have some questions for all Obama supporters. One, why do you want the US to move so far down the path of socialism/communism? His proposed programs are stacked with expensive government give-aways that someone, presumably those who actually work, will have to pay for. Is it because you don't want to work and want to live in a one-room, government-owned apartment for the rest of your life?

What a load of Bull!! Its nothing but more pandering. McCain wouldn't dare upset W's base by choosing a Democrat. It would be a really really smart move, therefore its not even being considered.

McCain and Guiliani and Romney and the rest will only move the country more to the right than it already is.

I guarantee you, there is absolutely ZERO discussion about getting a democrat for VP. If so, they would announce the VP before the Democrat convention to show how separated the Dems are.

I do not see that happening. The Repubs would not go for that at all. This is just something for Rudy to say to try & show the Repubs are open minded, willing to reach across the isle, just more of their lies to mislead the public. McCain, if elected, will be just an extension of what we have now, no change, just more of the same failed policies of GW. We need real change, Change We Can Believe In. We need Obama for President 08-12.

Since McCain is so old he might never make it through his first term, meaning a Democrat would become President. The Repugs would never allow that!

Giuliani. A hack and a has been! YAWN!

Mccain doesnt care anything about us. He only want to win by any means. He doesnt care what party or who the person is who runs with
him as long as he wins. I remember the thing he said in the beginning
of the primaries and I see the way he looks down his nose at certain
groups of people. If you listen to his speeches and watch his expression he actually talk down to people.
I truly hope he chooses Lieberman they are both rich and neither cares about anyone but themselves. the perfect union I think.

Maybe he should choose hillary. They are just so much alike.

McCain doesn't need to worry about the Republican party base because Obama has taken care of that for him.

He needs to worry about moderates and Dems who don't like Obama.

Besides a moderate Democrat could bring in a historically Democratic state.

If you morons think that Hillary is willing to take a backseat to Obama and be VP…you are dumber than you look!!!

McCain lost five U.S. Navy aircraft.
look it up!

He is just playing games. The only way this would happen is if he needed a certain segment of states and a blue dog conservative democrat fit the bill. There is a world of difference between a blue dog democrat then the left wingers.

Who can he possibly be talking about other than Lieberman?
Hard to consider him a Democrat any way.

And for the Hillary voters: if you guys are truly Hillary supporters, how can you say you would vote for McCain…a guy who does not support ANY of Hillary's positions.

McCain/Clinton – I don't think so

Any self respecting Democrat who jumps on the McCain ticket…. wait, none would commit politicial suicide and do that. Unless the Republicans are serious about getting Paris or Britney?

Break out the Viagra,
McCain/Hilton 08!
That's hot!

McCain/Biden!!!!! Two very strong men.

Used to be for Hillary… Now for McCain

Annoy the Media, Say No to Obama!

From a Proud flip flopper…

If McCain chooses a Democrat for VP, he might as well hang up becoming President of the United States. His conservative base will not vote for him. So, I say, go ahead and pick a Democrat.

Obama '08

It did sounds like Rudy was talking about Liberman although he is now "Independent". If McCain picks him he could act as Cheney and tell McCain what to do.

Rich, white, conservative…

Hmmmm, what is wrong with that?

If I had said Poor, black and liberal, would I then be a racist?

Vote McCain and stop this nonsense!

I am sure Hillary is a smart woman and when you look at the programs of both there is a gab from here (the Netherlands) to Tokio.
But, if she does she would be President afteral in one year.
McCain wil be impeached by then because within that time enyone
can see he is not capable to lead. He would be told everything by
the new Cheyneys of the Republicans and be a puppit on a string.
So, I have a better idea. Barack shoul take Hillary on the ticket.
I am sure they both can handle Bill and everybody is happy.

Barack wil be the best and most loved and respected USA President
in history!

With love from the Netherlands.
Europe for Barack Hussein Obama!

Someone tell me how does McCain have all of the answers about the economy now in an election year when he has sat in congress for 26 years and did nothing in the past eight years.

To me, he is the biggest fake ever and certainly he is no maverick.

Any Democrat that would join forces with the Senile Mind of McSame was never a True Democrat! And the Dems don't need him or her!
And on an interrelated subject – It appears that Giuliani has finally Lost what might have resembled a Human Mind! Resembled the ultimate word here.

Ok people let's say it together. Hillary will NEVER join a mccain ticket. They are oil and water on MOST issues. Why in the world would she ruin her legacy? They have NOTHING in common!

No matter who McCain will pick as VP, he will win by large margin. American people already know Osama's CHANGE (CHANGE POSITIONS ON EVERY ISSUE, CHANG SPEECHES) and don't want those FUNNY CHANGES.

the only person that can help Mccain is Jesus….

"OHHHHH! PICK CLINTON!!!! Everyone will vote for that ticket!!!! HILLARY WUZ ROBBED!!!!"

Right.
Because Republicans LOOOOOOOVE Hillary Clinton, don't they?
Think, people: McCain may get your bitter, self-entitled vote, but he'd lose about 20 million bitter, "morally upright" conservative nitwit votes who already think he's not enought like Pat Robertson or Rush Limbaugh.

Not happening.

To Alice in Florida:

Yes, I'm sure it was nice to see Giuliani had enforced a program introduced by Mayor Koch, a Democrat.

Coming from a lifelong Democrat (Rudy -until he ran for mayor) this is no surprise. McCain is far more liberal than former President Clinton. There isn't a Republican on the ticket this year besides Barr.

Lieberman doesn't actually count as a Democrat.

Republican for anyone but McLieberCain '08.

Giuliani will say anything to get back in the headlines, he's a media junkie.

As for any democrat that would accept McCain's offer to be VP… that person would not be a true democrat. Hmm… perhaps the opportunist Lieberman is excited about this one, however.

ew. double ew.

slimy and unctuous. but go ahead. Barr's the better candidate – a true conservative.

NO DEMOCRAT is going to run with McBush.

It just goes to show that Rudy will do just about anything to get a spot in the white house.

Yeah, pumas, Hillary as McShame's VP would be REALLY good… This way Obama wins by 20 points.

RJ, CA…

ANOTHER RACIST DEM. HOW YOU CAN VOTE FOR MCCAIN WHEN HIL AND BO HAVE VIRTUALLY THE SAME POLICIES. YOU'RE A RACIST AND YOU LIKE "PELOSI SUCKS" SHOULD DROP DEAD. YOU CANT STAND TO SEE A BLACK MAN OVER YOU. GO TO HELL.

I might of heard wrong but doesnt obama have more senate experience than Hillary? If this is true than the whole experience thing for her has just been thrown out the window. Unless you count those 8 years of being first lady which frankly shouldn't count b/c she didn't do anything presidential.

I hope McCain picks Guliani as his VP — this would be a definite win for Obama.

As for Guliani, when I saw him on the Morning Joe show today, I couldn't stand the look of his face and just simply decided to change the channel. I had rather watched commercials. Just the looking at him is SO REPULSIVE — I would rather look at the white-haired wrinkly guy.

Obama!!!!!

This election we need a third choice, NONE of the Above. Both Major Candidates Suck and the minor party candidates are worse. We are in bad shape when this is the field we have to choose from. Is there anyone out there that cares more about the American people than the foreignors both at home and abroad. Is there anyone out there
that will tell the people the truth and bring back our Democratic Freedoms and stop the government from giving our money away to foreign entities and areas not designated for the Federal Government.

I think this is a great idea – it's a direction the country needs to go.

PELOSI SUCKS…

YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THOSE RACIST DEMOCRATS, I.E. REPUBLICAN, THAT DON'T LIKE BARACK OBAMA BECAUSE HE'S BLACK. YOU'RE A PRICK & YOU SHOULD DROP DEAD.

he means lieberman,who is no longer a democrat.

Everything the anti-Obama democrats do to muck up this election will come back to haunt them if HRC ever got the nomination in 4 years. I would make it my life's mission to get some payback. Democrats voting for McCain deserve what they get and if the are of the PUMA type just wait and we will all pay back with a vote to re-elect McCain (shold he live that long). I'm tired of HRC nutballs ruining our party nominees chances simply because their mad her kitchen sink, trash talking, lying, corrupt campaign failed. Remember he unique way of saying she won the popular vote? Remember the ridiculous electoral college argument? Remember counting votes and wanting the delegates from two states whose elections were not valid? Her negative constant low road against Obama brought her down and if teh repugs keep it up, the majority of Americans will get turned off by that.

I really doubt this is going to happen. First of all, these decisions are made by others (Bilderbergs, ie- the elite). These suits just fall in line with the true powers that be.

And the mobster speaks…who cares!

Let me remind you Mayor that the right, they don't dislike McCain, they don't appreciate McCain, they don't support McCain, etc. You wanna know what? They HATE McCain……

Who are you kidding, Rudy?! In this age of Bush-generated divisiveness it's inconceivable that either party would do such a thing. American politics has become like American football, or any other rough-and-tumble sports' competition–not a cooperative effort at all.

It obvious the McCain Camp is paying bloggers now. Its on your website. Poll after Poll shows former Hillary supporters on board with Obama. Hillary would never commit political suicide by betraying the party she worked so hard to build up would she really stand a chance at being prez in 2016 as a democrat vp in the republican white house? And how would Mitt (next faux Regan) feel about it? Truth be told republicans and the media are using HRC to drive a wedge between democrats ala Nader in 2000. No body asked Al Gore grovel at the feet of Bill Bradley, no one asked John Kerry to beg Howard Dean for mercy likewise no rational Democrat is expecting or asking BO to gravel to HRC and especially not Bill.

I for one won't be fooled again!

Obama 08 Obama 12!

Hmmm… Hillary?

What difference does it make? People are getting all excited about the election and in the end it will make very little, if any difference, for the majority of Americans.

Kendell,

You are so very ignorant.

He is not referring to Sen. Lieberman. First, he's not a Dem. Second, he's already counted homself out of the running for McCain's runningmate.

I do agree with all those who like the idea of a Democrat as his VP.

Don't think enough of the Republican party is ready for that though.

Hillary as VP would be a long shot.

It may be true though that there are more McCain and Hillary supportes that would go for it then there are Obama supporters and Republicans that would be put off by it. It would be like a third party of moderates.

I was hoping before McCain ran in the Republican primary that he and Liberman and other like minded Republicans and Democrates would form a third party of moderates. I agree 100% that is what the country needs, nothing is getting done with the current two party system that puts the parties interests first and the people second.

For any of those thinking that Hillary would be a good VP choice…. hopefully neither McCain nor Obama would be that stupid. Choosing her would be signing their death warrants. Within a year Hillary would have to "regretfully & humbly take over the presidency after the tragic death of McCain/Obama"

For all those people who would not vote for Obama in any way, shape or form, I say you are just like all the rest of the Red-necks out there who just will not vote for a Black man. Who cares about you or your vote! I say cast your vote for whomever you like, but a least give a guy or gal the benefit of the doubt. In your mind a freakin dog would be better than Obama huh? Geeze, get a grip and step out of your Jim Crow mentality.

McCain probably has a much better chance of having a Democrat on the ticket than Obama with a Republican. McCain actually is a moderate, while Obama is pretending to be a moderate but is really a far left winger.

That is a preposterous idea. On which side would a Democrat VP vote to break a tie in the legislature? What Democrat would be a yes-person to a GOP guy?

McCain/ Clinton.

democrates are desperate, even mccain was a democrate, something is wrong with this picture.

Yeah, a Democrat is possible to run with McCain, but it's also possible that McCain will grow wings and sprinkle fairy dust over the entire world, while singing, "Tomorrow, Tomorrow…" On second thought, there's always Lieberfool. Now THERE'S a strong ticket (NOT!). EVERYONE would hate that one. Pretty much guarantee going down in flames.

Are you NUTS?

You guys are killing me, Hillary is a Democrat, she would never, never, ever join a ticket with McCain.

Rudy, you've turned into a complete joke!
Keep your once held post 911 honor and stay off the campaign trail – you're making a laughing stock of yourself.

Get over yourselves! Are some of you people really adults or from the loony bin. McCain ain't picking no Democrat and it certainly will not be Hillary Clinton. LOL!

Why does the media keep interviewing this putz about the presidential campaign? He has zero national experience. And he ran one of the worst presidential campaigns in history.

Now, if you want to know how to stage a photo-op on a pile of rubble that people are still buried under, this guy is your obvious choice.

I'd love to see Hillary on McCain's ticket. The entire Republican party would implode adn Obama would win in a landslide. Get this through your heads – Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States of America EVER. Not in 2008 or 2012 or any time.

Take Lieberman. Take him. He's all yours.

What? Cheney's turning Democrat?

Rudy, do me a favor and shut up!

Don't be fooled by the so-called Hillary Democrat's comments above that they would vote for a McCain/Hillary ticket. These are not Democrats. They are Repugs still taking marching orders from Limbo to cause chaos for Democrats. What a bunch of losers!!

Republicans hate Hillary so why are people talking about that?

McCain won't pick a Democrat, he wants to win and that would put the far right of the Republican party over the edge.
McCain will make a choice that will help further unit the party. McCain is a uniter. He does have a solid track record of working across part lines to get things done. The reason more does not get done in Washington is because there are not more there like McCain. He puts the needs of the people before party politics and at his own political risk. That makes him a hero to me even if he had not been a POW.

What a contrast to the Democrats. Hillary supporters are going to disrupt the Democrat national convention. They still have some hope she will be nominated. When she is not, many will split from the party.
Obama will not name her as VP and more will split. They will work to make sure he does not win and either not vote or vote for McCain.
I love how the Democrats work together to get things done.

Given how Democrats demonstate time and time again that they are unwilling to work with anyone they do not fully agree with, it makes McCain's track record of being able to cross party lines and work with Democrates to get things done all the more impressive, heroic even.

I notice a number of Hillary voters look for any excuse to keep her name on somebody's list as well as to bash Obama. It is sad that they are such sore losers. What is it that they don't understand about Obama WINNING the primaries. Hillary could have had a better strategy that included working in the early states that she thought were not important, as well as a strategy of telling the truth rather than so many lies. She didn't work for the votes that really counted, and she drove away many that would have voted for her. The primaries are over. How do you expect me to vote for Hillary in the next election when you have bashed the candidate I now support. We don't need SORE LOSERS as our next candidate.

We voted for Hill, will go for McCain in November!!!!! Republicans, please count our votes too!

good. Pick Hillary because she is still behaving like a petulant child who did not receive her candy. For democrats voting for McCain out of spite, you should enlist in the war. A vote for McCain is a vote for continuing with the war. It is hyprocritical to support McCain, but not fight in the war. Have the conviction to fight in the war if you support McCain. Last time I checked afghan and iraq are looking for soilders.

WHY NOT PICK YOUR PASTOR, former or current, AS YOUR VP.
IT DOES MAKE SPIRITUAL SENSE.

Especially for those who currently do not belong to any Mosque or Church.

Afterall one needs to get closer to the almighty in these difficult times.

informed FLORIDA voter, i think you're are misinformed. Very few true democrats would vote for McCain. Stop trying to divide the party. If for any reason, as far fetched as it would be, Sen. CLinton were to be on the McCain ticket. It would be the end of her political carrer… and of your pitiful dream.

Obama 08-16

I never realized that so many people are so stupid and hateful…..To say that if HRC would run along with McCain as his veep and they would vote for them.
To say they would want 4 more years of high gas prices, falling home prices ,people losing their homes, people losing their jobs, war in Iraq, war in Afghanistan, high prices at the grocery store …..The rich getting richer the poor getting poorer well then you go ahead and vote for McCain because that will be your future.

Let mcsenile pick hillary. they are a perfect pai…. two faced liars.

If he did pick clinton, that would actually unite the dems and divide the repugs…
BRILLIANT, GO FOR IT! DO IT!
That way all those PUMA people and former hillary supporters CAN STOP PRETENDING THEY'RE DEMOCRATS!!!!!

OBAMA '08 DEMOCRATS '08 AND FOREVER

The reality is you are no longer relevant…

Wonderful choice. The biggest loser of all ! Go ahead Old Mac, you are making my day !

Rudy ZERO CREDIBILITY Guliani ??

Mayor…….didn't I tell you not to show your face?? Look a what happened to Pudge yesterday. And by the way, didn't you show your face yesterday?? I ain't playing around Mayor…

Like I said, you shouldv'e seen it coming…

Oh, yeah, right. Is crazy Zell Miller available?

Giuliani is even more full of … beans on this than his usual high level of nonsense and inanity.

Given that McCain is demonstrably sexist, and rather extremely so, I can't possibly understand what would motivate a former Clinton supporter to say that they're going to vote for him. Voter for Barr, vote for Nader, not vote at all, these I can see. Can there any reason other than petulance or racism to vote for somebody who not only doesn't agree with you, but is the antithesis of all your political positions on gender and equality?

"If Obama gets the nomination, I'm going to vote for the candidate who left his first wife after she was disfigured in a car accident, who pimped his current wife out to a crowd of bikers, and who voted against equal wages for women! That makes perfect sense!"

Explain this to me! Please! It's like a Christian voting for a Satanist over a pastor because the pastor is a Presbyterian instead of a Lutheran. There is no sense or reason to it, is there?

Hey Rudy? Why did you move your head-quarters (located in building #7) two weeks before 9/11? You had the most fortified building in NY….Did you know before hand of somrthing looming in the air?

Mr Noun, Verb and 911 Ghouliani .. please go away

Mccain/Clinton would make the current democratic party irrelevent.. of course you would also see a shift to a new more conservative party. I also find it highly unlikely that the Mccain/Clinton could lose. Buy I doubt it will happen… BHO is a failure but still may get voted in… Power mongers like him in Chavez have a way to blind the liberal left/media/and universities….

I think, because Oregon is almost "in play", that he'll pick the "spotted owl" as his running mate.

Why add a comment?

I have left about 10-15 and CNN has not posted a single one of them.

They pick and choose from the entries and they must be pro Obama to get posted.

Boy…CNN is fair and balanced!!!

Lifetime Democrat until now.

Tony-Tx.

It doesn't matter what the republicans come up with in terms of candidates, they are going to always smell like fish. That party stinks from the head down. And for all of you Obama bashers, as an individual Obama is going to be OK , it's you who are going to be during the suffering under the polices of McSame, McBush, McWarmonger. So you go ahead and stick your head in your kesster
and vote for another republican( why do we keep eating food that makes us puke) and see where the country will be four more years from now. McCain looks like other presidents but everybody keeps tiptoeing around the issues in the blogs. That nonsense is going to ruin this country. Voting like that is stupid and we are suppose to be an educated country. If it wasnot for that this election would not even be close. McCain is a joke, he never talk issues he only attacks.

I can't believe Dems are still referring to BO as a uniter! He has been the most racist, divisive candidate of all time! Wake up, people and check your tires–haha–they are probably worn out from overinflation just like Obama's EGO!

The other tread is closed.

I think Informed Florida voter showed his/her true colors. Your an old, racist aren't you?

BTW. I'm old enough to know what reality is thank you and I have a very firm grip on it. I also know that this is the 21st and its time for change and a change from your way of thinking.

Come join us and we can all heal this nation.

McCain had no business offering up his wife like he did. He had no reason to be at Sturgis as he doesn't ride and it is just one big adult party. But then again, most riders at Sturgis as of late are just weekend warriors and not hard core bikers who think it is proper to bring their young children. I haven't been to Sturgis since 2005 for that very reason, and being a Veteran, I would not spend one minute of my time listening to Songbird McCain. His despicable treatment of his first wife and the deplorable way he spoke to the family’s of our POW/MIA (calling them whiners, vultures and the lunatic fringe) is not, in this Veterans view, anyone that I would cross the street, let alone, vote for office of the President as he has no respect for anyone. His voting record on veterans affairs is sorely lacking and he has had 25+ years in Washington to do something, 6 1/2 years both houses Republican run to accomplish something and what has he done? Nothing.

For the person who stated that he spent 5 years as a POW, let me tell you this, McCain was shot down on Oct 26, 1967 and by Nov. 9, 1967 he was giving interviews to foreign correspondents, providing information on his prior command, casualties and tactice, in direct violation of the Code of Conduct. Which, is considered collaborating with the enemy.

He has repeatedly stated that he was given no special treatment while in the Hanoi Hilton. Yet when he was interviewed by the North Vietnamese he is shown at a hosptal reserved for Vietnamese military and was taken care of by Soviet Surgeons. He was drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes while being interviewed. This is a far cry from the way the rest of the POWs were treated.

I say NO to Songbird McCain. (I would suggest that you google Songbird McCain to see how he sang to the North Vietnamese)

It is extremely scary to see all the blind support Obama has at this time. You would think Americans would have more logical reasoning capability then what is being displayed today. I'm very disappointed. People are not concerned about this country, they are only concerned about the here and today and take no responsibility for their person, kids and the countries future. Obama plays on the “WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME” which is the mentality of the Democrats of this country and he knows it.

McCain and Clinton would be great. Talk about CHANGE!

Where do I send the check???

You"ve got this deocrates vote!

MC 2008

I could think only of one such "Democrat" and it's …. Obama. So maybe voters should choose between McCain/Obama and Obama/McCain tickets!

Dress up pretty

Hmmmmm — so this is where Hillary and her PUMAs are headed. McCain will kick off from old age and she'll be president by default — the only way she could make it.

What an ignorant story to publish. Some moron reporter with nothing better to think of asks whether something is possible and he responds that he can imagine it happening – nothing said about the wisdom or the likelihood of it, just that he can imagine it being possible. Well, guess what, people can imagine all sorts of things that are never going to happen.

Find some real news.

Can he just go away!

to the Hillary supporters from the other articles. to suggest the DNC chose obama is ludicrus!! He won the majority of PLEDGED DELEGATES… meaning the PEOPLE elected him. No one was SELECTED. my lord, it's unreal. as a Red Sox fan, you don't or didn't see us protesting in '03 when aaron boone hit a homer in the 11th to beat us… this was historically close… but OBAMA won!!!! enough is enough!!

I am so so sick sick of Hillary supporters. Why do you have to be so bitter Lets move on as a party and as a country. Do we Really want John McCain or any other republican in the white house running this country the same way. The truth is I don't and I am pretty sure Hillary Clinton doesn't want that either. The truth of the matter is that Obama is not snubbing Clinton it is his choice who he would like to be his VP lets not forget about the ugly things Hillary said during the primary process that probably hurt the relationship a little wouldn't you think. Obama said his fair share statements too, so please lets move on as a party and a country we can not afford another mistake like bush.

I hope McCain chooses Hillary!

And to people who keep saying that PUMA's are voting against Obama b/c they are racist: Get over yourselves. Playing the race card worked for Obama. It really doesn't work for you.

The reason I will vote for McCain is because he is more of a centrist, just like Hillary. They actually care about the American people.

No matter what Obama says, he is a left wing radical just like Pelosi, Kerry, and Kennedy.

I want someone in office with a history of working across the isle, not just a speech about it.

Still for Hill, but voting McCain!

NOW THAT'S A WINNING TICKET……GO FOR IT MCCAIN !!! LOL

No self respecting Democrat would take the bait.

Why does anyone care what this wannabe has to say, he attempted to exploit the tragic 9 11 event all the way to the White House, but thank God people saw through him and dismissed him early on.

some of the folks that are posting here seem to think hillary would be chosen…….let's see, before becoming a Democrat she was a Republican……..so maybe that's her plan…..since people are talking about it…..I certainly hope not…….her husband, bill, signed the pres order that McShame wrote, in 1997,removing 2,000 people off their land to a radio-active toxic dump,this was so Peabody Coal could get a huge profit,which the Morman church with it's head deacon and lawyer had been working on for a long time. All was on video and in 2000 taken to the U.N. for world leaders to watch.They were shocked that the U.S. should do such a thing……..seeing as the U.S. says it is for freedom,life,etc…..Oh, that's right this Pres. while coming down on China and the Human Rights they ignore has allowed Gitmo…..changed the constitution…….ignored laws,which hopefully the courts will be instructed to delve into…..made up laws,looks to big oil………Yep ,we need a change alright…..hopefully she will be honest to her "word" and campaign for Obama……Go Obama !!!!!!!!!!

I love all the Obamabots talking about how Hillary divided the party. Just like they say " if you were a real dem you would fallow the party line".
I have news for you most Americans do not agree with every thing a party has to say. They usually agree with a mix of liberal views and conservative views. The division in your party did not come from Hillary or her supporters. It came from the notion that if you don't support Obama then you are a trader to the party. That was the basis of what the Hill supporters endured from the primaries till now. Do I think at this point they are a little over the top, Yes. But I can not bring myself to look down on that ,after the way they were treated by Obama his supporters and the media. If it were me I would be more than a little over the top. I would love to see a bipartisan ticket Hillary would make a great VP for McCain. She would be a good counter balance to the extreme right that exists is parts of our govt. And McCain would have the opposite task.

OKAY !!!!! that's where Hillary Clinton and the rest of her crew will be. She will be McCains VP choice.( now we know what time it is.).

Why is Giuliani even being quoted on here. He's a complete moron, and I think after seeing his tactics in the primary, he's not a very credible source for campaign strategy.

you hillary followers make me sick. do you really think she gives a darn for you idiots? she needed your votes and pandered to your uneducated ignorance! get over it…this is not a beauty contest like you all think. it is about running our country and frankly there are more votes out there for obama and the voice of the people are what counts. if you all knew anything about democracy you all would know that. maybe all of you should read up on your politics uinstead of playing on the computer. all of you sound so trailor trash!

Guliani is an idiot like McSame!
Welcome to the Idiot party!

This guy is clueless and out of touch with reality. His just a little bit to full of himself. Self-confidence is a good thing, but only so much of it. Too much is called arrogance.

Does he have any clue as to why he did so poorly in Florida, where a great number of former NY residents live? He lost because those voters know the real Guiliani.

Look at how he managed his campaign. He was not well like as mayor of NYC, but he managed to get re-elected through the power of money. He brought that same approach to his presidential run.

Rudy knows all sees all i don't think this is going to happen this will keep McCain in the news cycle for a day on this point and will him some computer commets for a while

Baloney,

John McSame does not have the full support of conservatives and if he puts a Dem on the ticket he's toast. He's such a panderer he won't buck the system. He'll put a Republican white man on his ticket. I'll bet the farm on that one.

Excellent….abandon ship!

Come on cnn rudy is as relevant as bush. Why not stop your silly polling and tell the truth? IF Obama leads in the national polls by 5, 6 points it will be a landslide and you know it. Bet this gets removed. where is the real truth? Try it you might like it.

Anonymous:

That is the most hilarious line I've heard in ages! I laughed out loud. You should be writing for Stewart.

If Cindy McSame is our first lady she will be called First Mistress.

you all are crazy, if mcjoke offered the spot to hillary she would say no, she would never turn over to the other sides ticket after endorsing obama. i don't believe mccain would pick a democrat

McCain and Zell Miller! Then it'd totally be the "wrinkly old white dude" ticket!

Gulliani and McCain are soulmates. They both cheated on their wives with bimbos. The fact that they married the bimbos doesn't make a difference.

Obama 08

**********************************************

MAYBE YOU WANT OBAMAS SOUND JUDGEMENT TO CHOICE YOUR VP.

A DEMOCRAT IS THE ONLY CHOICE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO VIABLE REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

GIVE IT UP. JUST CONCEDE. ITS GOING TO BE A LANDSLIDE.

STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA.

I heard Hillary on the radio saying she's done more to campaign for Barack than any of her counterparts. Hello, most of the time she was stumping for money to pay for a debt she should not have had. And the other time, she was missing in action. What support?

She is selfish, self-centered, a liar, an opportunist, disloyal, a bigot, a snob (remember how she bragged about not having to pump gas in a long time) and a fraud.

I'm an American Citizen, and I approve this message.

Is this all because no real Republicans want to join McShame? Why not have him select Cheney? Cheney doesn't care….

John McCain is a pathetic old man. He would make a lousy president.
He is not a good speech giver. And you heard the old saying a short man will never be elected president. McCain doesn't even look presidential.

If some of you could get past your bile and hatred, you'd be able to realize that Lieberman actually votes against the typical Republican positions about 95% of the time and that he votes in a way that makes sense, NOT just towing the "party line". But realizing that means you actually have to read and think, rather than (like "enlightened voter" out there) not bothering to read but still blogging anyway. It's a lot easier to just hate him, call him names, etc. rather than realize he's EXACTLY what politicians should be…people who vote their conscience NOT what their party boss tells them to. How are you EVER going to get rid of partisan politics if you castigate those who DARE to vote their conscience???? And by the way, geniuses, don't you realize that he got elected against all odds because so many people in his state respect him? So how about you shut it with regard to Lieberman…if we had more politicians like him…if we had a Congress full of people like him…we would be MUCH better off.

As for meaningless, PLEASE tell me something that Kerry has done other than just criticize other people. If there is ANYONE that exemplifies the career politician who doesn't take any chances, offers all kinds of "Monday Morning Quarterbacking", and is in general just a talking suit, it's Kerry. If you think he's the bomb you've really got some serious perceptual issues.

They say never say never but NEVER going to happen. Hillary 's false supporters she will not be vispotus. so go ahead and vote Mccain because you really not supporting Hillary's policies just her gender.

Now this is scary. mccain/lieberman ticket. why that'sjust like what we have now bush/cheney. Lieberman is the biggest crook and mccain is short tempered old grumpy man.If those two, dumb and dummer get together I'm moving to another country.

why is Rudy in the news? He is such a loser. LOL

Obama all the way

You are a big joke. You sound like a wounded Hyena

For all you Hillary(crack head) supporter that keep saying that Obama is not ready to lead, you keep forgetting that Bush was not ready to lead and he was elected twice. Shame on you if you vote for McCain because Hillary did not get the nomination. Hillary ran a pitiful campaign that was left deep in debt. She lost fair and square and so stop being cry babies and either move on or move out of the way.

Guys am just thinking if McCain picked Hillary as his veep, what will happen?

Will Hillary accept to be McCflip flops veep?

That will be a disaster.

9 11 911 9 11 911 9 11

Hillary? Hillary? Any disgruntled Hillary supporter speaking of her running as McCain's running mate seems to forget one basic bit of info: the RNC and many rank and file Republicans HATE this woman and her husband! No matter how much McCain is positioned as a maverick, the party faithful won't allow this to happen. Would present an opportunity for Bob Barr to siphon off a few Republican votes, though.

PUMA = CULT

Who cares what you think!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt that there would be many "Blue Dog" Democrats that would really want to be a part of the McCain campaign. How many would want to be the VP on the ticket; that would be none. Lieberman is technically not a part of the Democrat party; he is an independant Democrats that cacuses with the Senate Democrats.

Yes, maybe Lieberman. He has been leaning Republican for a while calling it being an Independent. It most certainly help with with other true Democrats and certainly not with the age thing.

For all of you who are screaming Hillary…PLEASE BE QUIET!!!!!!
There is no way in H E L L that Hillary would be on the same ticket as McCain. Please go educate yourselves on the issues and find out where McCain stands as opposed to Hillary. Your whining and screaming are starting to make all of you look ignorant.

Give it up! Hillary lost! Move on!

There I said it……..

um, if he hasn't talked to McCain, how is this a story?

Giuliani who?

Giulianos opinion is of little importance
Lieberman is a turn coat and how the people of his riding support him
is mystifying to me
I am not a MCSame supporter but his best choice would be Pawlenty
Romney is an arrogant elitist who could not relate to the hard times of americans if he wanted too and he has been a flip flopper too on social issues like a womans right to choose

the same people that are considering a mcain/clinton ticket are the same ones who voted for bush twice, enough said.

Democrat for McCain here

It doesn't matter who he picks, McCain is still gonna lose.

Ron Paul 08!!!

Please put Rudy on the ticket that way you have Mc War and Killuani on the same ticket starting wars with everyone from Iran to Pakistan not to mention that Rudy is such a moral role model for the GOP's evangelical base.

Maybe Rudy inhaled too much debris at "ground zero!"

Who knows? Maybe Rudy is referring to Jesse Jackson or Sam Nunn or someone from the DLC. Alot of Democrats have been thrown under the Obama bus, and I'm sure one of them would love the chance to unite America.

I think Hillary has no interest in becoming a VP for either McCain or nobama. She's hoping for McCain to win so she can have a shot at presidncy in 2012.

Let's be honest Hillary supporters:

Hillary is not as upset as the rest of you. She would never join a McCain ticket. Why? Because she has spent her whole life working for liberal causes, getting health care and advancing women's rights. If McCain wins this election, no woman, including Hillary, will become president for 40 years, as McCain will roll back women's rights to the 60's. Was Hillary screwed? Probably. Is that a good reason to vote McCain? Of course not.

Lastly, VP is the scum bucket job of the U.S. government. If you really want her to have power, make her secretary of state. If really want to support Hillary, elect Obama and get her in the cabinet so she can do some real good for the country.

The world does need a uniter.

Republicans keep sending out people with just mouth. We will not be fools this election Giuliani. If this is really what McCain is planning on doing Giuliani , PROVE IT. ENOUGH with you singing the same old song….If this is true, tell McCain to choose and let it be known before the Democrats convention.

Same old Threats, promises and trickery. Why do they take us as fools to believe anything Giuliani or McCain say?…..McCain flip flops so much, when it’s time for him to announce his VP, he won’t even remember Giuliani making such a comment.

Giuliani, we didn’t see him in the media this much when it was annouced he was cheating on his wife.

I agree, what a person of a non-story.

Obama 08

Hillary will never join mccain she dislikes mccain as well as the whole republican party, And the republicans cant stand her mr 911 man is blowing hot air!!!!!!!!

Um, little fact check here. Half of democrats are not voting for McSame. Only about 10%, which is in line with the normal cross-over in any election.

Anonymous August 7th, 2008 9:55 am ET

Wow, what a non-story.

It's also possible he might pick a ring-tailed lemur. Possible, but not likely.

See, I can do it too.

Too funny!

To informed florida voter

The person who would be in charge would be McCain and conisdering the man knows nothing about the economy or anything other than war then it wouldn't matter if she were on the ticket. The country will be in further trouble that we already are. End of story.

I doubt Clinton would go for being his second anyway.

Try and keep some grip on reality cause you are starting to loose it.

LynnB August 7th, 2008 10:01 am ET

Good – let Obama pick Hagel and then McCain can pick Hillary!!!!!!!!! That would suit me just fine since I am a Hillary supporter that is voting for McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sick & tired of Obama snubbing Hillary!!!!!!!! She should be his VP pick with NO questions or vetting asked – he's just Mr. Uppity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be fine with me if falls all the way down!
_______________________________________________
Mccain may as well pick Hillary, she gave him the blueprint for his campaign. Just be mean, nasty and have no real plan, oh and have a sense of entitlement. Obama should snub Hillary, after all, she did run in the Democratic primary as a Republican. If Mccain wants her, he can have her. PLEASE TAKE HER…………..

What does he know? He didn't win a single primary and we're supposed to think he's credible?

I am speachless

How much can you pick on Gepeto Lieberman ..

He like to be around his Buddies McShame and Pinochio Bush..

Let him be..

Rudy did fall off a turnip wagon.

OBAMA '08!

Any democrat stupid enough to align themself year with McCain deserves the whuppin' they're gonna get – unless of course it's turncoat LIE-berman.

Hillary is too much of a traditional Democrat (and would be wary of burning bridges for the future) to run with McCain in the unlikely eventy that he asks her. Having said that, in theory it would be a ticket I could support.

Again, the republicans keep following Obama!!! Obama has great judgement, they know it and they follow!!!! The republicans in no way have a VP pick like Obama has Hagel!!! Eat your words McBush!!

2 Words: Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton WOULD NEVER….EVER….SUPPORT A REPUBLICAN AFTER THE WAY HE WAS TREATED BY HIM. Hillary does still have some self-respect. NO WAY IN HELL.

I hope he chooses Hillary so her and her PUMA can go away once and for all.

Old Politics VS the New (the future)

I choose the New

Go Obama

Rudy is a big plus for McCain's intent to work across both aisles. Rudy is well known,well thought of,and would add even more character to the ticket.

This better NOT be true. If he does that it will insure an Obama win in November. What an idiot!. How did we end up in this mess??

that would be a good choice… only because mccain is like a million years old and in poor health. we'd end up with a democrat president in no time…

How about McCain/Ron Paul for 2008?

They have more different policy ideas than with the Democrats, but they can compromise and work together if they are willing.

I have already moved from teetering Obama to McCain, I am an avid fan of Hillary and would love to see justice prevailed!

McCain and Hillary would be an amazing ticket. She may have promised support but she never promised not to run against him in any shape or form – even as a Republican. McCain is more moderate and Hillary is a moderate Democrat the meetings of the minds can work plus we have screwball Pelosi at the helm in Congress.

Here's an idea.

Take Hillary. Since all of her "supporters" say they are voting for McCain anyway, it can't hurt anything.

There is no way any of the Bible Thumpers and gun nuts that run the party would allow anyone who even considers anything but the standard "ProLife""Gays are evil" "We love guns" mantra on the ticket. McCain is already having problems with them with judges, campaign finance and now his "gaffe" on possible tax increases. That would put a nail is his wooden coffin for good

Rudy is demented if he thinks McCain would ever pick a Democrat. What a jerk.

It really dosen't really matter who McCain picks (hopefully Romney)
he is going to win.
Did anyone see what Obama did when he did a $500,000
re vamp on his airplane???
He took of the American flag off the plane and put his own logo on.
I never want to hear again Obama is not Anti American. You Obama fools can support this snake, but be advised when he looses don't
start riots in the streets.

Ya but did Hillary ever burn her GOP card, or just put it in a drawer when she adopted her man's party!?

Just for the sake of journalism, not TABLOIDISM; support the article by naming ONE Democrat who would run as McCain's mate!?
(Unlike a tabloid, contact the person first for permission.)
What an unSENSATIONAL, attention grabbing headline.

Rudy might be hinting about Joe Leiberman.

Interesting concept. Citizens are completely fed up with the highly partisan gridlock, fueled by the self-serving radio talkshow people (it is in their best interests to keep it a football game, so they can sell team jerseys and hats on their websites!).

Not sure if it will actually happen, tho. Two big machines will not go quietly.

It is interesting how CNN selectively chooses to show all of the crazy comments about how Hillary should be McCain's VP.. we know that it is a very small percentage of Democrats that would actually think that, but CNN moderators think it is appropriate to try and make it seem like more by showing mostly their posts. Great job CNN.

Enough with the Republicans posing as Democrats with the Hillary nonsense. That is played-out already. Go back to "Dash Limburger" to get New Marching orders. By the way, all you "hoopleheads"( that's what Dash's followers are called, right?) should read the article on Dash and his lifestyle, I'm sure that all you "hoopleheads" smoke $35 cigars every evening when you're not speaking into your Gold Microphone. Yeah, you and him have alot in common. The guy is laughing all the way to the bank every day and here's the twist, you're the brunt of the joke.

McCain and Hillary on the same ticket ???

WOW

That would be one way to stop Obama.

I might have to think about that one.

If I was Guiliani I'd keep my comments to myself. He didn't do too good a job figuring out what was going on in his own campaign.

PUMA PAC HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE A BUNCH OF CRY BABIES!

guiliani,you are such a looser,stop fooling the voters

Kerry offered the VP spot to McCain. If McCain returned the favor, I wonder how Kerry would erase his "dangerous" comments?

Of course, Kerry would be nothing but a liability. The obvious choice is Leiberman. Personally, I think Zell Miller would be an interesting pick, if he really wanted a democrat.

Really, really unlikely that he'd pick a democrat though.

Guliani just gave Senator McCain's secret away…… so it is McCain/Leiberman… HA!

I would vote for a Dem/Rep ticket. I believe that the partisan politics of the past have caused alot of traffic congestion in the house and the senate.
With a combined ticket McCain would prove to the citizens of the US that he wants to help Americans regardless of their party affiliation.

Let Obama run for president of the UN not the USA.

He is a divisive figure with a proven track record of NOTHING!
He helps only himself. He is an empty suit and the comparison to Hilton is sooooo true!

I was once a hard core Dem but because of the DNC compromise, I have been left without a party.

I will vote for the candidate with HONOR and INTEGRITY!

God Bless Senator McCain!

You are right. I hope Bob Barr wins a few states now if McCain gets a democrat as a running mate. The conservatives that are not neo-cons will vote for him in droves if this happens.

You mean someone like Lieberman – his defacto running mate so far? If anyone should be labeled a Judas Iscariot, it should be him.
As for all the Hillary supporters – I think it's time to wake up and smell the coffee. Hillary is not going to be anyone's running mate this year. She sure as heck isn't going to be on a Republican ticket. No one alienates the Republican base like Hillary. And I don't know why they think Obama has snubbed Hillary; it's been just the other way around. Obama keeps bending over backwards and holding out olive branches only to be ignored.

Obama's theme is "Change". What better way to support that theme than select Chuck Hagel as a running mate. Mr. Hagel has vast foreign relations experience that Obama needs. I would love to see it.

This man was all over the new shows this AM, and I turned him off each time. The Republicans are going down, and I say that we should extend that to every SITTING Congressperson of either party running for office-let's vote them ALL out and get some new faces and ideas in Washington. I am doing that in MI. We had a nine-term Congressman running, and I will vote him out. He has been on board with Bush 95% of the time, against Clinton while he was in office, and I am sick of the lack of respect for all his constituents. I'm sure there are many just like him all over the USA-let's get them out. Now is the time for change.

It's called DISTRACTION!

the Republicans are a bunch of really sick people.OB is a presidential candidate. One, you say people don,t know him…now you say you've seen too much of him.you confused people.One thing for sure is your problem with this candidate….your innermost nature. I NEVER EXPECTED YOU TO BE DIFFERENT FROM YOUR PARENTS OF THE 40's.

I don't believe it for a second he would pick a democrat.

McCain is already on thin ice with his party and was just the fall-out pick because every other nominee was even worse then him.

Rudy the Rude is finished, but cannot resist the temptation to get in front of the cameras. If he had somehow been elected president, I was ready to move my family to Norway.

How bout the Honorable Senator Joseph Lieberman.

Not only is he a Democrat, but was a candidate for Vice President, he's a neocon, and he's a moron.

This would be great. I hope Obama and McCain both pick people from another party to be their VP. This is what we need more of as a country; working together and not hating/bashing the other side. There are so many lunactic Obama supporters who bash McCain but probably have no idea of his voting record. They're like robots who bash Republicans constantly. If Obama picks Hagel and McCain picks Lieberman than both sides would have to eat it and learn to like someone from the other party.

A Democrat for McCain here. I would love to see a McCain Clinton ticket…talk about a dream team!

That Rudy sure is a slick one. Make sure you powder your hands in this guy's presence.

Former Mayor Giuliani then added, "September the 11th."

This won't happen, we're fully in wild VP speculation mode.

These people claiming to be PUMAs or Democrats for McCain are frauds. They are Republican frauds pretending to be Hillary supporters. The march in Denver is a bunch of Republicans claiming to be Hillary supporters. Frauds. Anyone including a 3 year old can pretend to be someone else. I for one am not falling for your games.

Giuliani was a gangster like figure in NYC when I worked there, and he still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck when I see/hear him.

No credibility.

Loserman?

RJ

For you to make such a dumb comment " I'm a supporter of Hillary but now im going to vote for McCain"

you know all of you Hillary supporters who are going to vote for McCain are just dumb, dumb, dumb.

Yeah go ahead and vote for a republican just because your choice for president lost. wah wah wah.

Vote against your best interests. Go ahead. God makes me sick!!

Ya pick Hillary… she'd take the VP job slot under anyone just to stay in the limelight.

McShame is trying to get attention, so little Rudy says this crap

Yeah, that would be brilliant. McCain is likely to last a year in office with his health and the stress it puts on you, and then he'll hand the presidency off to a Democrat. The Puma idiots would probably love it to be Hillary.

Coming from the guy who lost the primary in the worst way, his comments don't amount to much. Besides, a republican MIGHT be Obama's VP, Rudy.

It has occured to me that if McCain linked with H. Clinton, he'd probably win. And she just might accept, after all, she doesn't seem to be supporting her party's candidate as well as she could be and it would fulfill her long term desires.

If she really supported her party, she would ask "18 Million Voices Rise Hillary Rise" to cancel their event in Denver. This event takes away from the Democratic nominee; Obama, and their shared party. But I guess she's willing to take some of the spotlight away of others who have earned it – again.

That a Democrat could conceivably occupy the number 2 spot on the Republican presidential ticket is like a bald man saying, "I'm not ball, I'm just taller than my hair." That is never going to happen.

I'm sorry I can't take Guiliani seriously when he talks.

He sounds way too much like Sylvester the Cat when he talks.

Sufferin sucatash!!!

The only "Democrat" that would join with McSenile is Joe Loserman.

Praetorian: Give me a Website to learn about the Bob Barr, I am interested in seeing who else is running. I'm not liking the Repub or the Dem party at this point. Thanks

To Former Democrat-Now Independent-Dusgusted with Obama. Per "Obama is bad for this country. He is being forced down our throats for some reason." I am glad that I am not the only one who feels this way. It was noticeable during the primary when Obama seemed to be given a free ride while Hillary was scrutinized over everything she said and did.

I think you are correct about the press picked Obama long ago.

What a bunch of garbage. Rudy knows as well as everyone else that McCain must pick a conservative as his VP, as he can barely keep his base together as it is.

It won't be Lieberman…he's way too busy cozying up to ALL parties to ensure the $2+ billion and growing annual allowance from U.S. taxpayers to Israel keeps on flowing–thats a full time job in this economy!

Are you guys tired of the posturing and the lies about how much better the Democrats or Republicans will make things–only to find out 4-8 years down the road things aren't really so good–and lots of scheming has resulted in yet another devious way to increase your tax payments?

Libertarians–2008
We believe America's majority should decide the direction of the country–continuously (not just on election day). Real change that finally has the American citizen as the focus (not a foreign government, special interest, or coroporate interest).

Great idea! Most moderate Democrats are leaving the party anyway and becoming Independents.

Maybe McOld wrinkley guy should pick Paris Hilton. A recent poll stated 68% felt that she was more effective than McCain in getting the message across.

HILLARY CLINTON. LOL

John McCain could pick Jesus Christ as his VP running mate, and I, as a Christian, would still refuse to vote for him. John McCain = More War, Worse Economy, Same Results. VOTE OBAMA.

PLEASE LORD! LET MCSAME PICK THIS CRAVEN TOOL! IT WILL BE LIKE CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST!!

Even though Obama is an idiot. There is no way he picks a bigger IDIOT like Hagel as his running mate.

Yeah he most certainly meant Lieberman but he has been a democrat in a while so i'm not sure he really counts

Deception, misdirection and propaganda, that is what the Republican do.This is again simply an attempt by the McCain campaign to confuse the issues and keep attention focused on something other than what they should be focused on.

It won't happen. The conservative wing of the republican party would riot.

HE will still look the the other VP's, Rich white and conservative, this is a gimmick, McCain is going to tell so many lies no one will know where he stands

Oh, BUT Hillary as McCain's VP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TALK ABOUT AN UNBEATABLE TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be one way to get the press coverage your party needs. On the other hand….that would piss off a lot of those so called "christians" in your party.

I have an idea… pick Paris.

I'm originally from NYC, and I get back there every now and again

I have to say that I was VERY impressed over the lack of graffiti on my ride from the airport back when Rudy was Mayor – also noticed no homeless people forcefully washing the windshield with filthy rags back then

…It was kind of a return home in an alternate universe

I dunno. But I do know there will be a Democrat in the White House.

OBAMA 08

Another desperate attempt I might say. I guess they figure that if someone like Sen. Hillary Clinton – by some chance – was chosen, her adoring fans would vote for Mr. McCain. Pretty interesting! (Just my view).

Lol. As long as its not Giuliani, I'm good. This is a guy who has won "Mr. Irrelevant 7 yrs running

Wow!!!

Talk about meaningless change!!

This will not unite voters you fool. But what you do seek is the best of both GOP and Democrats…sadly the only place those ideals exist is within the Libertarian Party.

Come on over Rudy–let the force be with you!!!
Libertarians 2008–if you can't stand the way things are and want real, relevant, and practical change.

Check our agenda–join us in recreating our government and its priorities.

Bob Barr 2008…out of your lives and out of your wallets!!

Really, please name one Democrat who would consider such a folly?

LIEberman is no longer a democrat if that’s who you mean. And he got OWNED by Kerry on ‘meet the press’ last week.

If he's talking about Lieberman, it doesn't count.

The only reason Hagel would consider it is that he's leaving his Senate seat. Any politician with aspirations of continuing their political career would never consider this – especially no democrat in this election. And LIEberman is an independent now, so he doesn't count.

Yea, two old rich men who could care less about the poor. Out of touch and too old to relate the young.

How about Hillary Clinton? As an ardent supporter of Hillary during the primaries, I could take Hillary's #2 slot on a ticket with McCain, a proven, intelligent, experienced #1 (gonna vote for him, anyway — no way is Obama ready to lead!). BUT HILLARY #2 WITH OBAMA — NEVER!

Is it possible? Yes.
Is it likely? Definitely not.

The Republican Party elders would NEVER allow
such a thing to happen, regardless of whether or
not it would help McCain.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party wouldn't
halt Obama from selecting a Republican running
mate. Obama is all about working across the aisle
and strengthening government – no matter WHO
the aide comes from.

Giuliani is merely saying that its "possible" because
he doesn't want to make the GOP look like a bunch
of jerks.

Like I said, its possible, but highly unlikely.

Go for it Rudy Giuliani. VP Rudy Giuliani sound good. GO Obama

Is Lieberman still technically considered a Demcorat?

I don't think anyone is all that fooled by Grimer Lieberman hissing into the ear of the old senile King McCain of Rohan.

Lieberman doesn't count as a Democrat anymore, Giuliani.

Would any Democrate be so stupid to be McCains VP?
It must be a desperite person when he does.

America needs a uniter, America needs Obama,
this world needs Barack Obama.

hahahahahahaha

McCain is more of a traditional Democrat than Obama is, so if he chose an ACTUAL Democrat to be his VP, he could really unite this country in the center.

Something that is impossible for the far left supported Obama to accomplish.

He should pick Clinton.

I couldn't even read the article, just this clowns face is enough to turn me off. He is part of the corrupt repuglican political machine.

Good – let Obama pick Hagel and then McCain can pick Hillary!!!!!!!!! That would suit me just fine since I am a Hillary supporter that is voting for McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sick & tired of Obama snubbing Hillary!!!!!!!! She should be his VP pick with NO questions or vetting asked – he's just Mr. Uppity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be fine with me if falls all the way down!

He is talking about Lieberman. Who is, in fact, no longer apart of the Dems. what dem would be apart of the disaster that is the McCain campaign. I think the media has been paying so much attention to Obama, that they are missing out on all the gaffs and other mistakes made by McCain

Great, instead of one adulterer and his I-don’t-care-that-he-is-married with children mistress/wife we will have two. Now THAT’S a party with Family Values. You didn’t respect your wife and family, how the heck can you respect the office of the President let alone, the citizens of the United States.

I don't think I will hold my breath on this one….

the decision is McCracks but it is also up to the person he chooses who would have to be out of their MIND!

How about Hillary. Seriously, I am confident that all Hillary supporters would vote for that ticket, and some moderates from both parties. Obama is bad for this country. He is being forced down our throats for some reason.

A McCain/Clinton ticket would set the polls on fire! Half the Democrats are voting McCain anyway so having Hillary on the ticket would be the bomb! Our nation would have the greatest duo in office while setting unprecedented history! I Love Hillary and would vote for her in any combination other than on a ticket with Obama and there are many who feel this way. This nation needs to start leaning towards the middle and two party unification if we want to see real progress and this would be the true beginning. The perfect party in my eyes is half liberal, half conservative. There needs to be a balance in order for us to flourish as a country. We have become so bogged down with partisian politics that we have stagnated. Our economy has sunk to a new low, we are in debt more than ever and we have become too dependent on China to survive on our own. Let's work together people. Our future is dependent on it!

The Repubs are not that stupid to put two people on the same ticket, who are adulterers and threw their other wives under the bus. It would be a field day for the feminist groups!!!! On second thought, please pick him!!!!

Good thing Mr. Strategy is back on our TVs. I think he is only there to make McCain seem less incompetant in comparison.

Say anything to get your mug on TV and the MSM will give it legs and infer credibility. I am glad the Olympics are starting today, at least there is something positive and entertaining to watch instead of this daily moment by moment CNN/FOXNEWS Obama Bash.

Wow, what a non-story.

It's also possible he might pick a ring-tailed lemur. Possible, but not likely.

See, I can do it too.

Way to go Giuliani!

That's the way for the McCain campaign to ignite interest from the Republican party base, talk of a Democrat being McCain's VP?

Unbelieveable! The media is so fixated on Obama and his campaign that they will overlook this type of statements from the McCain surrogate camp and how that would affect Republican base supporters who feel that McCain is not conservative enough.

Obama in 08!

A noun a verb and 9/11 PLEASE shut your mouth. No one in their right mind will believe that GARBAGE!

Sounds good. How about Joe Loserman. He would make the perfect "Democratic" running mate for McJoke.

i'll go ahead and say it for you since i know you're dying to say it, rudy.

9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11

Could he be refering to Sen. Clinton hmmm…. Seems Obama is going to win by a landslide afterall!!!!!

Hes a sad little man with a big mouth.

umm.. so what?

GOOD IDEA

Democrat for MCCAIN right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
