To Sue, Michigan- I agree, why are 18 million Obama voters more important than 18 million Clinton voters. The DNC created the win for Obama. The average voter knows nothing of the way that the DNC comes up with rules. All they know is that they voted for someone, in the cases of Florida and Michigan, that someone was Clinton. This election was close,
CLOSE! not a landslide! Being rude and calling Clinton supporters "poor sports" does nothing to help with party unity. This is not a football game where you win each game and then go on to beat one team in the finals. If it were a football championship playoff, the Obama team would be trying to finish the season with almost half the players missing. Obama can't win against Republicans without the other half of the party. That half is the Clinton supporters. Unite the party and come away from the convention with a winning ticket-

Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama

Anything else is sour grapes. Obama if you are reading this blog, do the right thing, put Clinton on the ticket as VP.

No matter who, Democrats lost it again by nominating Obama.

Either of the two would be fine with me although I like Kaine too. Up until Hillary's unfortunate and horrifying announcement today, I really thought she might be on the ticket. But I guess this latest turn of events sort of rules that idea out.

I hope they post the times of the Biden and Bayh speeches because I love them both!!

Will not make a difference to me. I was only voting pulling the lever for democrats if Hillary had gotten the nomination (for pres. and not vp). I'll be voting for McCain this November.

I think it will be John Kerry for VP or Hillary for VP.

God let it be ANYONE but the evil clintons
why are those two even around??
are they so entitled that they will go and talk and have her name there,

BECAREFUL the CLINTONS are EVIL, PURE EVIL

SHE has not given up, and is still trying to get someone to do somethign to Obama

the HILL BILLYs are EVIL

Please be very careful, she might have some tricks on that night or the following or even November and or January when Obama takes over

MCCLINTON AND MCSAME ONE AND THE SAME

Biden or Bayh – they are both credible candidates.

In the end, Obama may be forced to take Hillary if the schism her supporters are causing is detrimental or deemed libelous to a clear win.

I notice on the GOP side there are no Black or female choices for VP – from the party of family values, eh?!

PUMA/Fake republicans posing as Dems: go ahead vote for McCain and shut the hell up. If you guys are so upset, why don't you move to the republican party ? You very well fit that profile of idiocy and church mentality like.
Obama/Biden is the best choice for this country wether you like it or not. And if you don't, just don't vote for him. Thank God people like you have become the minority given what you did 4 years ago for a moronic BUSH victory. You just don't get it. How stupid can you be trying to vote for a Bush clone?

All you Hillary supporters (AKA: PUMA, fake republicans posing as dems) you need therapy. How much more pathetic could you people be? She runs a muddy campaign and loses, yet you people feel she's been wrong. By whom? Now you really see how nice this Obama guy is. anyone else would have kicked both Bill and Hillary to the curve by now given their bizzare behaviour. Talking about being entitled !!!
It doesn't matters in the end, Obama will be the next president wether you PUMA/Fake republicans vote for him or not.

I've long liked Clark (supported him in '04) and Bayh brings alot to the table. But the only reason I supported Hillary was because Biden was forced to drop out due to the the public's inability to focus on anything that requires greater concentration than a 15 second sound bite. Face it folks…Biden was/is the most qualified for the top position in either party…Respected, long-time Senator; Foreign Relations; Judiciary…and simply brilliant. Select Biden and Obama will overcome the unease of those who might be less than enthused by his candidacy…and will show that he is not just comfortable, but confident, with/in his own self in the top slot.

Both would be good choices if Hillary did not get 18 million votes. Obama's first test of can he bring two sides together will be his VP pick. He can pick Hillary and bring the party together or he can pick another guy in a suit and tear the party apart. His choice. It will be interesting to see what he does.

What John Mcain did to his First wife is a hundred times worse than what John edwards did to his. Yet it is not a storey , I wonder why ?

McCain is going with a prochoice VP. He hates the Christian right and owes them nothing. I think I'll wait and have an abortion when Big Mac is Prez.

Obama will win without Hillary, although I have nothing against Hillary. It is Obama's choice, not Hillary's supporter's choice. Obama won, Hillary lost, plain and simple. Yes, the Hillary supporters can abandon the party, but the fact is, that if they do abandon the party over this, then they were not Democrats from the start. A true Democrat could in no way identify with McLame. But, if they do support McLame it won't be the first time that the public voted against its own interests and it won't be the last.

It is like poor people voting for the party that wants to limit minimum wage, ship in cheap labor to suppress salaries, totally screw health care, then ship the remaining jobs out of the country. If this serves your interests, go for it.

I've never seem so many fake &*#%$ Democrats. Hillary lost folks… she is a true Dem by jumping aboard! These fake Democrats are probably the same one who believed the swift boat, turned their back on Kerry, and voted Bush! Now look where we are at! Get with the program people, or McBush will finish us off!!!

I've long respected Joe Biden. He's smart, experienced, and a very likable guy. He'd make an excellent VP. Hell, he'd probably make an excellent president.

Anybody thinking of voting for McCain, ask yourself this: are you better off today than you were in 2000? If not, why would you want 4 more years of Bushism, as that's exactly what McCain will deliver if elected.

A vote for Obama is a vote for more taxes, more goverment handouts. etc…..I will vote Hillary before Obama…He is a nobody, who wants handouts from the American people. He doesnt need a VP, all he has to do is look in the mirror and see the two faced person he is…

Obama…..you're the ignorant one, not to mention arrogant and nauseating. Stay in Hawaii and play in the sand.

The triple B's = Bama, Biden & Bayh…I like the combination of either Biden or Bayh with oBama but realistically the guy who is greyer and more experienced will make the final cut because of the need to balance the ticket with age and experience vs. youth and vigor…

Great choices either one! But then again I somewhat sad that the rift between Obama and Hillary has grown to the point where they are viewed as incompatible for running mates…Anyway, she will play an important role in any Obama administration…

Oh brother – this is turning out to be business as usual – males parading around like some authorative honchos Hillary Clinton being appeased when she should be the next President and not Mr. Wannabe Obama – who doesn't know his what from his you know what.

It doesn't matter which of these two get picket….neither will help Obama get elected.

In order to help Obama they would need to some how find a way to erase the minds of Americans so that they don't remember Obama participated in a racist church for the last 20 years.

That's not going to happen.

Democrats FIGHT and VOTE against Racism….we don't support it and we certainly won't vote for a Democratic candidate who participated in a racist, divisive, American hating church for the last 20 years!

I guess the DNC was determined to LOSE this election.

1. half of the people commenting on this blog are complete morons.
2. clinton being submitted for nomination is a symbolic peace offering, not anything for either side to get their feathers ruffled about. so shut up.
3. i find it humorous how obama's top vp choices seem to be old white guys who are familiar with washington politics (sound familiar?)
4. bill richardson is the most qualified for the vp slot.

Biden brings balance to Obama's percieved weaknesses of experience and foreign affairs. An Obama/Biden ticket will force the GOP to change their strategy of attempting to paint Obama as not ready to lead.

OBAMA’S GREAT POLITICAL EXPERIENCE AS A SENATOR.

Obama’s 143 Days of Senate Experience

That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

The one single Senate committee that he headed never
even met once

Think about it…….143 days — 20.4 weeks — 4.7 months …

Our children spend more time in pre-school getting ready for kindergarten

just to make it clear, they will be adding a new slot with Hillaries VP selection.

If you dont Want Hillary as VP, you clearly arent serious about Obama as POTUS.
Politicians, by virtue of their profession, have to kiss Voter Butt.
Thats the way it is. And there are just enough p o'd people out there to make it a very chilly November for the Democrats if Hillary is not the VP running mate.

Obama/Clark '08

Obama/Hagel '08

Obama/Biden '08

hillary 2012

I think that the PUMA are a group of people who cannot accept defeat in competition, but tries to justify their irrational behaviour BY DESTROYING their candidate reputation in the process. They are so blinded by infantile temper tandrums that they are making it impossible for their candidate to ever win a political competition in the future. They are trying to blackmail and manipulate the situation, but it s going to back-fire on their candidate. What a SHAME.

As an observer I can only say that I am totally impressed by the amazing talent that Barack Obama has to choose from for VP. Bill Richardson, Wes Clark, Joe Biden, etc. etc.etc. it just goes on and on…. he will have an amazing cabinet if he gets elected!!! On the other hand it seems that John McCain would be very stretched in that department?? Maybe American should judge their future president on the men and women they can gather around them????

hopefully if BIDEN is the VP running mate, there will be no more AGE jokes about McCain.

Claire McCaskill, for so many reasons, remains Obama's best choice for VP. If only he has the courage to select her.

As long as there are no more discriminating AGE jokes about McCain, I think Biden is a good choice too!

My first choice would be Colin Powell, second would be Wesley Clark, third would be Biden, and then maybe Sebelius or Richardson.

Obama won't pick Biden. Biden has the problem of at first being impressive and then the longer you listen to him you realize that he isn't speaking for your benefit he is speaking for the sake of his own ego. I think the man is fairly impressed with his self.

It could be Bayh. The problem with Bayh is that he is too good a pick for someone who gets along extremely well with Republicans. Shoot he could easily switch parties and no one would notice. I personally think Bill Richardson would be a good pick. He is mature and does not have the risk of dominating Obama. Obama has to be careful else he look rather than like President but the man who is announcing the President. The last thing he wants is to look like he should be VP and with his lack of experience that is going to be a very hard thing to avoid.

Either of these 2 would be a mistake that Obama might live to regret. But cut against the grain of his message of change. They're both politics as usual.

Obama should choose Jack Cafferty as his VP. A young arrogant inexperience politician with an old cocky inexperience media personality. I say that's a perfect union and a perfect example of what the Obama campaign has been all about.

Who is this Hillary person that all of these Republican troll and fringe Democratic idiots seem to be referring to?

Remember the first African-American to win The Apprentice, Dr. Randal Pinkett's. He was also an extremely intelligent Oxford grad. He earned a Rhodes scholar. Like Obama he did everything he was supposed to do with dignity, humility and excellence – showing great foresight, vision and leadership. What happened when he won fair and square? All of a sudden for the first time in history Trump suggests that there be a co-apprentice. See any similarities?

So, why couldn't it be Bill Richardson or Ken Salazar? You're engaging in mere speculation without advancing any reasons pro or con your selections.

99% of responses to Political Ticker are pro-Obama folks. hmm, and Fox News is biased?

I'm sure those at CNN, with a 10th grade education, will not post this. Sad…

Raul in California if Obama picked Sebelius for VP, isn't that a gurantee Obama would lose every clinton vote? is that what you want?? mcjoke in the white house?! not me i would hate that.

obama/biden 08

I also have kept my Hillary sticker! Senator Clinton is highly intelligent, has 35 years experience and has done a great job for the people of NYS.
She will work tirelessly for universal health care.
Barack Obama would be guaranteed 18 million more votes should he select Hillary Clinton for his running mate.

if hillary isn't the VP, then I'm voting for McCain.

ME in FL,

Lack of intelligence? Obama? Have you read the Atlantic Monthly article? Your girl Hill was a total, miserable failure!

Hillary is the worst candidate in political history. I can't believe how she can even run for the presidency I laugh hysterically about it. She has the weakest "resume" and she failed the bar exam. She has casted her spell on the dumb voters out there. Probably the same voters who voted for "W".

Mccain/Corsi 08
The evil dream ticket

She should just let go…and join the Whig Party!

The Whig Party is a centrist party founded last September, has over 10,000 members and is one of the fastest growing parties in America. We are centrist and value economic growth as well as personal freedom

Give it up, P.U.M.A's! It's over!

I think a dynamite choice would be MARIO CUOMO. He's of obvious presidential timber and gravitas, is a very good ideological fit with Obama, is brilliantly eloquent in his own right and would easily outshine any VP the Republicans could pick, has excellent executive experience that would compliment Obama's legislative experience, would help with the Catholic vote, and also might help solidify the New York state vote and perhaps even help bring around New Yorkers who originally supported Clinton. I think Joe Biden is a loose canon more interested in himself that would eventually hurt the campaign with his big mouth. And governor Bayh, however promising and attractive, is a nobody who won't add any heft to the ticket. As nice as it would be to have fresh faces, change, and a new start, I think Obama himself is enough on one ticket and voters need someone who is poised, a team player and obviously of presidential capabilty — someone we'd all have no doubts or questions about should they need to step in. Also, I think two senators on the ticket is too much. There should be someone with clear executive experience. I think MARIO CUOMO would be perfect in all these respects! I hope the Obama campaign hears this and, if they haven't already asked/vetted him, will seriously pursue him.

Chuck Hagel for VP.
Don't all you Hillary folks know she is going to accept your votes and give them to Obama. Then how mad are you going to be at her?

An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come. – Victor Hugo

OBAMA/BIDEN 08………………………….UNDEFEATABLE!!!!!!

I like Jessie Jackson as Obama's VP. At least we know were Jackson stands. And he acknowledges his indiscretions rather than cover up or lie about them.

It's funny, you can tell exactly who has been drinking too much kool-aid… and I wonder if they know it.

Obama '08

OBAMA / BIDEN 2008

or if there's still a chance…

OBAMA / HAGEL 2008

One more thing…to the guy who referred to Obama's "inaptitude," you meant "ineptitude."

God Jesus christ my Lord will come back to take us christian in heaven with him and in that day your social status will not be able to take you to heaven. You need to accept jesus Christ as your personal savior and water baptize to be eligible for heaven. George Bush, John Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton to name a few wil not go to heaven unless they have Jesus in their lives.

B & B is the team for me…… go barack and bayh or barack and biden. Either way were going all the way

i find it amusing that folks judge Obama on his choice of Bayh or Biden for VP when it's CNN that is speculating that one of them may be the choice. Can we please judge the candidates for what they do and what they say, not how we interpret a campaign schedule, or a flag pin, or a hand over the heart (or not) when the national anthem is played.

ME IN FL:

It is amazing how uneducated McShame supporters are.

You realize these are not Obama's picks but CNN's, right?

You just have to be stupid to be a McShame supporter and we see the proof daily.

In response to one of the comments below: Yes, if Obama picks Hillary I will absolutely vote McCain. I'm an INDEPENDENT. For those of you who pick parties (obviously because you don't truly think about the issues), that means I can vote either Democrat or Republican, whichever is the BEST CANDIDATE. Anyway, I can't tolerate a VP who knowingly supported a president who obstructed justice and committed perjury, and was impeached and found legally to have done those things (So be careful what you say Bush haters). She should have stood up and said what he did was wrong. She didn't. She's totally unfit for the job based on her past decisions.

Hillary for VP!!!!!!!

Man it is sooooooo funny how Democrats are divided with their nominee…yet on the Republican and Independent side, we are all totally comfortable with our nominee Future President John McCain.

Man it is hilarious to watch you all bicker back and forth. Kind of sad actually…too bad Obama is going to get crushed in November.

it will be colin powell or wesley clark

Hello!!!!

You're an idiot!

Go Hillary! I agree, she should at least consider Obama for her VP but then choose someone else!

Hillary's supporters either don't understand or don't care that if they sit out this election they will be handing the Supreme Court — and the fate of Roe v. Wade — to the Republicans. Not very feminist of them….

Give HRC a seat on the Court. She can do more good there than she can as vp.

OBAYH

just BIDEN

Just heard that PUMA has raised a grand total of $50K. That's 100 people at $500 ea. Clearly these folks are getting waaayyyy too much attention!

To Keith From Dallas For Hillary:

From your post to God's ears!!! I would LOVE it! Great post!

I can’t believe that some of you actually believe that all 18 million Hillary supporters will turn their backs on Obama.

Awesome. Either one would be an excellent choice. Also, Tim Kaine.

Biden knows the issues and how to fix them best.

Obama/Biden '08

Biden is better than Bayh. I have seen Obama standing next to both. Obama and Biden "look" very presidential together.

I think Biden's experiemce in all areas, especially foreign affairs will lend the Obama ticket the ummmph it needs.

My hope is that Obama picks Joe Biden as his VP. That has been my prediction since before the primaries and all of my friends know it.

dl -'JOEBAMA!!!!' – that was awesome! I can already hear it being chanted at the convention. Hey Obama fans, let's support each other and forget about all the baseless haters out there.
JOEBAMA!
JOEBAMA!
JOEBAMA!

Now that Fidel Castro is out of a job in Cuba, maybe he'd like to be Obama's running mate. Seriously though, Obama should pick a "typical white person" as his VP.

I love all the voters here that dont know the saying "never count your chickens before they hatch. Wasnt the prediction that Gore would win and then Kerry in the past couple of years? I think it was. Wanna continue that streak? I will vote for who I think will be best be it Obama or McCain but either way, I am not going to start calling it for either.

Biden is the real deal…

And with Hillary…it is clear the Clintons have a strategy of hoping for Obama to lose so she can come back in 2012…if this happens, I hope all Democrats see through this…and send them packing.

Obama/Biden '08/'12!

By 2012 Hill will be almost 70 and 6 inches wider. pumas pay her debt and quit whining. Old MacDonald cannot win even with the 1,500 puma paid republican bloggers. Why do they keep lying about 18 million voters, many of those were limbaugh dummies who were never going to vote for her in the general anyway. Quit dreaming, and lying.
Obama and anybody '08

LMAO @ all you disgruntled Hillary supporters. Your candidate got out smarted, out raised, and out campaigned. Bill and her played the same old dirty political games and got burned in the process. That is what happens when you still have that 90's mentality. She lost, get over it.

nannie bouroughs, Kenosha, WI August 14th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Obama is such a joke… He could have God as his VP and I still would not vote for this Paris Hilton clone…

Well then vote McCain. While you vote for him, enlist in the war. A vote for McCain is a vote for the war. If you support McCain's canidancy then have the convention to enlist for the war.

Why not Richardson?

My pick is Joe!

Obama/Binden '08

I thought Senator Biden made it clear that he doesn't want to anybody's VP.

Personally, I think Obama should pick a governor to compliment his lack of executive experience. However, his executive experience is far better than Hillary's. Her best executive experience is her failed healthcare reform, which Bill blamed on the Republicans.

Obama/Richardson!

Wow! Half the Democratic party is speaking on Wednesday night. Maybe we'll have multiple VP's. That would be interesting. Send one here, send the other there. I wonder if Biden will plagiarize someone else's acceptance speech.

Who cares? If hillary is not on the ticket let the ship sink.

Trying ti find the best adult to over see the child.

Joe Biden–no one else!

Sen. Joe Biden because he didnt support Hilary like that other guy.

I still do not know how anyone in their right mind would consider voting for John McCain. He is a Republican and from the past 8 years, why would you want someone who is a Republican running the country? They have been no good for anyone except for those in the upper brackets and the oil industry. Regular people have been thrown to the wayside with no care that they are the backbone of our country. Shame on anyone with a grudge that refuses to vote for Obama. He could be the best thing that ever happened to us since the 1990s. Any woman that would vote for McCain knowing how he lacks the ideals of women that want to choose doesn't deserve a decent president. You all need to rethink what you REALLY want for the United States. Saying you could live another four years with a Republican in the White House is like saying you can live another four years without food or water and just wing it until someone threw you a bone to eat.

I hope it's Biden. He and Obama would make a good team.

TXBad1 Never for Obama (X-Dem) – Go ahead and vote for McWar. I hope you got your draft card ready. I would never vote for this troll. I can't image this grumpy old man with his finger on the button. I don't want a President with a Bucket List.

Obama-Biden would be a plagiarizing two-fer.

obama will be one sorry dog because he did not pick Hillary. AND I am going to be sure I rub it in the faces of the good old boys when obama slips down to the skunk hole after he looses in November. Oh boy Oh boy won't the DNC and the butthole democrats be suprised.

Joyce, you need some serious therapy.

Hillary did not lose, she won the popular vote, Obama was selected by Dean and Pelosi. If it was done honest, then she would be winning the white house, instead, now the idioits are letting the Republicans take back over. This life long dem will be voting for McCain if Hillary doens't get the nomination.

So many, many great selections….but NONE for the wrinkley old gray headed guy!

GoBama

Ohhhh – eight ! ! !

Biden is a joke. He likes to copy phrases from somewhere. he has nothing on hiw own. Also for foreign policy, he is a zero. Those Republican voting for Obama are made. Do not call yourself Republicans. Democrats have lost their way and being financed by George Soros. Barack Obama is a far-left radical. How can we support him. Vote John McCain.

I hope he picks Biden for the VP.

When does Rezko speak? That is who Obama owes all the political favors to. Will Obama have cocain for all the speakers or will he just smoke it all with his family?

PUMA — Vote McCain — Dump Pelosi, Reid, Dean, Kerry

Whose speech will biden plagerize this time? The guy is the biggest phoney. He was caught plagerizing in the 80's and Obama was recently caught plagerizing also – what a team!!! HAHAHA!!! Losers!!!

Did anyone notice that Chris Dodd's name is missing. Seems like he will be VP

It does not matter who Obama picks for V.P. In four years, Ron Paul will be our president and re-instate the constitution.

Obama 08, Paul 12

YAAAAWWWN! Boring choices. Certainly nothing that would get me, a disgruntled Hillary supporter, to vote for him. If he had any backbone he'd pick Hillary! I guess he isn't strong enough to keep her power in check. Some president he will be. If he can't handle the Clintons, how will he handle foreign policy? God help us.

Obama/Biden '08…sounds good to me!

Given the choices, I go for Biden. Perhaps because Evan Bayh didn't campaign, so I don't know his positions too much, but I think Biden and Obama would be a good fit. He would be my 2nd choice after Obama.

Nan Kochneff – Come on over to the conservative side and we'll bond nicely.

The PUMA's got OWNED tonight on MSNBC with David Shumer.. He asked tough questions and held his ground as he clocked the PUMA organizer- Darragh Murphy from Boston. She could not have look any worse for her cause and ca,e across as a nitwit. PUMA's only raised $50,000.00 for fighting the DNC and no voice to speak at all.. They got schooled..!! It was one of the best showing on cable news network. Watch for it on youtube or MSNBC wepage.. I'm telling you it was good for Obama supporters and even better to see a PUMA get skinned alive.. for real entertainment tune it in..!

Biden is the most arrogant Senator I have ever heard speak; he would be the perfect running mate for glamour boy.

I wont vote for either, if he picks these guys me and my family will vote McCain.

Obama/Clinton

or

McCain

How do you continue to campaign under the "Change" platform and select 35-year career politican Joe Biden as your running mate?

Go Hillary! Write in, write in, write in…

In Delaware we say Biden should be VP of Iraq. He is hated worse than obama here! When the country gets more of him they will feel the same way. Bring it on!

I still like Mark Warner & hope he can be convinced to accept the VP position if offered – Biden is excellent choice too, much better than Bayh – also like Clark, Nunn & would love to see Hagel get it, but I don't think so – I think Richardson will get Secy of State & HRC might be offered AG – whoever Obama picks will be more exciting than any of the sleepers McLiar (I won't run a negative campaign) can come up with

Stop it with this "sore loser" bull crap! This woman has been nothing but gracious since the DNC and the media have crowned Obama as the presumptive Democratic nominee. Perhaps a few members of her campaign are having a hard time letting things go, but for God's sake, give Hillary a break! Clearly she should be SOMEWHERE high up (in regards to the upcoming election) if she won the votes of 18 MILLION people. Why Obama wouldn't choose her as his running mate is beyond me — the woman is brilliant, and so is her husband.

How about John Edwards or are they saving him for Attorney General or the Supreme Court?

Amazing the policial hatchtt job the media is doing on the Edward's family to keep the spotlight off Obama, Pelosi and the upcoming energy debate. Now what was revealed last night? Nancy Pelosi is heavily invested in Boone Pickens Natual Gas company.

Please tell us that is not true Nancy. But it is. Nancy Pelosi stands to make millions if the Picken's plan to convert our auto indutry to a natural gas fleet of vehicles come to fruition. All Boone Pickens needs is a Speaker of the House to make sure the energy vote earmarks taxpayers momney to subsidize his "Big Wind" project. and a democrat president to sign it.

Why should any American vote. That corrupt nest of snakes we call Congress has their billion dollar self enrichment plan already mapped out. We get to pay for the alternative energy projects with our tax money while they rake in billions with their natural gas plan.

I have a better idea. How about off shore drilling for oil, develop the shale fields, natural gas reserves and instead of a wind fall profits tax earmarked for alternative energy subsidies a 10% tax on oil and natural gas profits with every penny going back into the Social Security Trust Fund as this Congress pays off the 5 trillioon dollars they owe the Baby Boomers Social Security/Medicare fund. DO THAT and you won't have to raise the S.s. tax cap on our children and rape them like you raped us.

I used to hate Hillary but still even after some time I really don't know WHO the real Barry Obama is. Now I'd rather see her than him.

But it's still McCain for me and hopefully Pelosi in '12.

BIDEN! BIDEN! BIDEN! BIDEN!

Obama/Biden '08

To al you Hillary supporters, irf Obama loses the election Hillary's career will be done. She will get blamed for his defeat because of all the ammo she gave the g.o.p, including the rev. wright tapes. Obama's constituency would never vote for another Clinton. Never.

Liza,

Please, stop crying. You won't change anything!

This is getting very scary now. I seems collectively we like to go from one extreme to another. Past eight years we swung that pendulum to extreme incompetence. Now we are ready to swing it to other extreme. Towards inexperience!

I wish it was Jack Reid. He went to Iraq with him and is an outstanding man.

REMINDER! Obama is not the nominee yet! He is the presumptive nominee, as in, he does not have enough pledged delegates to win the nomination, and the superdelegates could change at any time.

SECONDLY, why would anyone wanna have Biden or Bayh as their VP?? They are not well known to voters who might not know politics, and they are not in states that are pivotal….such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, ect. I think Ohio Governor Strickland, Pennsylvannia Governor Rendell, or Hillary Clinton would be the best choice…Actually I dont see why he wouldnt want Hillary. I know many people will have an answer to that but common she has more experience, notability, and followers than Bayh or Biden…. Biden who??? Bayh who??? Pick someone who non political junkies know….

Obama's the MOST under qualified candidate ever..says Patrick Oliver! Where the heck have you been the last 8 years???? Bush was a governor…thats it of the great state of Texas and a pee poor govenor at that. You need to wise up!

John Mccain=World War III

TO-Lisa Once Hillary is selected as the nominee, are the Obama supporters going to cry foul and threnten to vote for Mccain?**NO that will not Happen LISA ……..Obama supporters are intelligent and True Dems unlike you and rest of the Haters…..take this Dollar give to it Hillary toward her DEBT…Lisa you are Dreaming …. Wake up The Winner is OBAMA

I know Bayh personally as I worked for him for many years. Believe me, HE SHOULDN'T be the VP. He is phony, uncaring, and self-centered. You can bet if he's the VP choice, people are going to come out of the woodwork to share with the press, and the information they have won't make anybody warm and fuzzy!

Wwhy don't the McHills join McInsanes. They can form a new party – The Whinners Party.

I SURE HOPE THE KENNEDYS DIDNT HAVE A HAND IN PICKING A VP OH I FORGOT OBAMA CANT DO ANYTHING BY HIMSELF AND THE TWO ABOVE WHAT A JOKE HE WILL BE SURE TO LOOOOOOOOOSE

Don't be an idiot Lisa, we Obama supporters won't need to "cry foul" because Senator Obama is the nominee. I feel sorry not only for you Lisa, but for so many of you that can't let go of the fact that Hillary lost, just as she and her husband can't get over it. There is a name for that, it's called "SORE LOSER!" Word to the unwise, don't count on any "shake-up" at the convention, it ain't gonna' happen.

Oh, and you are correct "Lost (maybe) in CNN Moderation", there are quite a few of McCain's supporters on this site blogging, as a result of the pathetic "McCain reward points" contest on the McCain website. Pathetic!

Lisa…Obama's supporters WON"T vote for McBush if Billary gets nominated because unlike you rabid uninformed HRC PUMA's we have ENOUGH SENSE not to want another Republican in office for the sake of our country NOT our own meaningless and whiney wants!

Never really LOVED Biden, but he probably would be the best choice of the lot (Clark would be pretty good, though he stepped in it a little too recently to be really viable). Bayh leaves me flat: I don't know if he gets Obama anything–maybe not even Indiana.

But that list of speakers for that night raises an intriguing prospect: What about Jay Rockefeller? Honestly, I know very little about him or if he has any major negatives or skeletons-in-closets, but he has managed to be a blue-blood old-money guy elected to multiple terms from one of the bluest of blue-collar states. Could he lock up Appalachia for Obama? If Obama gets WV, OH, PA, KY, it is a landslide win.

Hill supporters, let it go. The Convention will be like any other convention…Hill is not going to be the Democratic nominee. It's time to let go, she has – you should too. Bayh is the best choice by far…I actually think that wacko far left not liking him is the best possible endorsement there is.

Obama / Bayh 08…I guess it beats some crazy old guy that thinks everything will work itself out of we stay the course.

Wisconsin is an Obama state regardless of VP pick.

Barack Obama…

Not Hillary!

No Vote.

That simple. We still want Hillary!

Biden? Can deliver Delaware? I doubt he will be picked. Obama is up 9 points in Delaware. If anyhthing Biden could be asked to be Secretary of State. Since everyone knows Pennsylvania's Tom Ridge will be McCain's choice my money is on Obama's campaign managers choosing Warner of Virginia where he is even up in the polls tonight . Even with Evan Byah Obama will not carry Indiana. He picks Byah he loses Virginia. He picks Biden he loses Virginia, Pennsylvania and may still lose Indiana.

Logical choice is therefore Hillary Clinton.

psst… come here.. his vp is… bill clinton!

The VP selection matters so much this election..simply, because Barack Obama is such a ridiculous candidate!!

GO JOE GO!

Pick John Edwards so the Republicans can make the election about his affair.

Hillary will not overthrow Obama so please get that out of your head. It is just a formality. Obama will be nominated. The Superdelegates and delagates know what is at stake. Why would they all change their minds like that and support someone who cannot manage her campaign nor her budget.? It is clear that she would not be ready on day because she could not make a decision in her own campaign which cost her the election. Besides all that, the dels and superdels would not do that to the party. They want unity not division.

who care about Bill Richardson – he is a Judas!

I'm voting for Obama, but still think that Hillary had better policies (yes they were similar, but hers were more progressive) She would have devoted a larger amount of $$ to new technology for future independence from oil. Obama supports this too, but not nearly as much $$. Just one example of how they were similar in policy, but have different details.

I know more about Biden – and I really enjoyed listening to him during the debates – but will read into Bayh.

And lastly – to the haters of Hillary supporters…..

Most of us will probably vote for Obama because his stances on policies are much more similar to Clinton's – but that doesn't mean we are totally confident and we should blindly throw our support towards any old democrat. Personally I felt very confident voting for H for president….I don't feel quite that way towards Obama. A person is smarter for being critical…. and not just blindly supporting whoever happens to be on the D ticket.

Those who see a small difference between Hill and Obama are the people who don't understand why the Hill supporters are not quick to jump to Obama.

The convention is being choreographed to let Clinton's delegates have their vote so they can unite behind Obama as the unified candidate of all the Democrats. Hillary won't be the nominee and she won't be the VP. Biden would make an excellent choice. He's seasoned and has foreign policy experience. He will be a good partner for Obama. Bayh was one of the few Democrats who supported the choice of Mukasey as AG, another Bush "yes" man who is putting partisan politics ahead of the law.

Obama '08

I think they'd both be great choices.
Biden would destroy whoever McCain picks as VP.
Bayh might well help Obama win Indiana.
Happy with either!

So many people on this blog attacking Joyce. Why? She, like me, thinks Senator Clinton was the better candidate. However, Senator Clinton lost and that's ok, but trying to bully people into supporting your candidate is the reason so many won't. People don't have to vote for your choice–that's called democracy. And frankly, Senator Obama's recent positions on some of the issues I care about have been troubling. That said, the prinary vote was pretty evenly split, and no one can deny that, although many have tried. Finally, a roll call vote is not going to diminish Senator Obama if he already has enough votes for the nomination. So what's the problem? None, especially if you've actually been through a few election cycles. The idea that everyone falls in line is silly.

You Obama supporters that don't want Hillary as VP are ignoring the truth that is staring you right in the face. 18 million plus 18 million equal 36 million. Without Hillary, he can't win. Without Hillary he doesn't get my vote.

As long as Hillary isn't VP, I am all good….Hillary would be too controlling as a VP, and not let the president do his duty. I like Biden personally…

Lisa, yes if Hillary should steal the nomination, the Obama supporters will refuse to support her. Nice try winning without us!

If either of these two are the choices for VP, then it is another very bad choice by Obama. The only way that Obama is going to win is to have Hillary Clinton on the ticket with him. Anybody else, Obama will NOT be able to defeat McCain in November.

If truly the Democrats want to win the White House, then they all need to get behind Obama and either make Hillary Clinton the nominee or make sure that Obama puts her on the ticket to be his VP. Otherwise, all bets are off!

McCain and Condi will beat whoever is selected on the Dem side.

what i don't get is how in the world are the clinton supporters still talking? she left a campaign with 20 million dollar DEBT…and you want her to be the nominee?…what's that in your head?…is it not a brain?

and for all those who THINK they know what they are talking about in therms of the convention.

there is only going to be ONE BALLOT

on the 1st ballot all pledge delegates have to vote they way they are allocated…they can't switch their vote on the 1st ballot

which would make obama the nominee

only if there's a 2ND BALLOT will they be allowed to switch their vote. which will never happen because obama will be nominated by the 1ST BALLOT

If it has to be one of these, I guess I'll pick Biden. He seems like a good Senator and a good man and would bring some experience to the table.
I personally would like to see Wes Clark, but I'm sure Obama's camp vetted everyone for pros/cons and Clark didn't make the cut. The capture of the war criminal guy in Serbia could have played into Clark's "sellability".

people GET OVER IT

HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE

SHE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH VOTES

(and even if she somehow became the nominee we would lose the election because african americans will STAY HOME)

so you guys, and i know that its only a few of you, need to GET OVER IT

you sound like a bunch of middle school teenagers

GROW UP

ACT WITH SOME SENSE

I am a moderate independent voter.

Even if Hillary accepted the VP slot, I still wouldn't vote for Obama.

Joe Biden for VP

I'm sending 1000 t-shirts to the convention that say "She Lost!" on them. Enjoy PUMA losers!

PUMAs are PATHETIC

Joseph Biden brings experience, knowledge, and patriotism as the Democratic VP nominee.

Obama-Biden: a ticket Americans will vote for!

Hillary Clinton is the onlt accepable choice. If it is not her, then Obama won't get any of my families votes.

Biden and Bayh are some of my favorite choices, both good enough for VP

Hillary supporters let the dream go………………. It is over for her.

nannie bouroughs, Kenosha, WI said

"Obama is such a joke… He could have God as his VP and I still would not vote for this Paris Hilton clone…"

Uh… and we're the party filled with Godless liberals.

Social Conservatives use God to hide behind and then turn on him as soon as it's inconvienant. Liberals are usually nonreligious spiritual people that use God to guide their lives. Sorry but, I rather be the real deal.

As for foul mouthed Obama supporters, I understand their frustrations, as we are not dancing to their raps.

I am sorry pretty boy Edwards is too busy with his baby boy to make it for the wednesday night. I am sorry Edwards is not the person Obama knew.

Al Gore/Hillary 08

Obama should pick Biden. No one else is able to smack down the Republicans like he can. We need someone who's willing to attack McCain and call him on his nonsense, and Biden is that guy.

And how great will it be to watch Biden debate McCain's VP pick? I can't wait!

I hope it's Biden! He would be great!

So we still have the 'I'm not voting for Obama crowd posting'. Well a lot of people aren't voting for Obama, thats what Republicans do. But this year a lot more are voting for him.

Those like Raymond Duke that just discovered the internet, why claim the man is arrogant? Do you know him? Isn't Bush down to earth? What a great job that guy's doing huh?

Hey Republicans, why don't you go hang out on a Fox web site. The words in the stories are easier to understand and you won't make such fools of yourselves. They can make up and you can decide – and you can drool over your candidate – George W. (oh, I mean John) McSame!

Both are good candidates for the VP slot and it is refreshing to read about something other than the current antics of the ego driven Clinton circus.

Once the delegates have voted. We need Unity. If Hillary wins. I will vote for Hillary based on logic of being a true democrat. I am a Obama supporter but if he loses the convention. I am not going to cry like a Hillary supporter…you so called PUMAs. I will not. I will not say, I'm voting for MCcain because I am bitter. You so called Hillary supporters are pathetic and dont deserve to be a democrat. But if she loses. You so called PUMAs and Hillarepublicans need to understand what future is at stake. Our sons and daughters in Iraq. Our economy. etc. We need change. Lets come together. Who hears me out there? Holla if ya hear me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Hagel

Last convention speach, "we are a purple nation." I can already see the signs, Obamas name in blue fading to Hagels name in red, most of the sign being purple.

Did any of you fools watch the Anita Hill debacle? Biden was anti-woman and absolutely nauseating.

Who cares about the VP when the presidential candidate is poorly qualified? Is it too late to pick Hillary? The more I read about Obama, the more frightened I am about him as president. Elect a woman. I can guarantee that if Hillary were the presumtive nominee right now, she wouldn't be in Hawaii while a potential third world war is starting in Georgia. A woman knows she has to work harder, and Hillary would.

AS AMERICANS , WE SHOULD PUT OUR COUNTRY FIRST NOT THE DEMOCRATIC OR REPUBLICAN PARTIES AND THE CANDIDATES FIRST. IF WE DO THAT WE MAY ELECT THE BEST ONE FOR THE PRESIDENT OF OUR GREAT COUTRY. WE MUST THEN VERY CLOSELY EVALUATE, SCRUTINIZE EACH CANDIDATES
CREDENTIALS AND DETERMINE WHO IS BEST FOR THE JOB.
FROM MOST AMERICANS WHO CAN SEE BEYOND THE RHETORIC
WHICH IS JUST THAT, THE EVIDENCE IS NOT VERY CONVINCING
FOR OBAMA. HIS OWN PERSONAL QUALIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS. THE OBAMA CAMP REBUTTAL AGAINST THE OBAMA NATION AUTHOR CORSI.
MAY HAVE ITS POINT BUT SO DOES CORSI. FOR A STARTER
I JUST CANNOT STOMACH OBAMA'S 20 RELATIONSHIP TO A RABID RACIST PASTOR AND BELIEVE IN OBAMA'S CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN ….A TRUE BLUE CHRISTIAN THAT IS.. I CANNOT IMAGINE A CHRISTIAN LISTENING TO THAT PASTOR FOR 10 YEARS AND SAY HAD NOT HEARD THE SERMONS THAT SO MANY AMERICANS HAVE SEEN AND HEARD THROUGHOUT THE MEDIA WORLD. IT IS AMAZING TO US THAT THE MEDIA HAS EVEN TAKEN TO OBAMA OVER MCCAIN. BUT THE ELECTIONS ARE A GOOD
MANY WEEKS AWAY AND BEFORE LONG WE WILL GET TO KNOW WHERE THVOTES ARE GOING.

If he chooses someone other then Hillary Clinton he will not be getting my family support and My family is huge numbers plus alot of connections in Texas. Choose Wisely Obama because choosing the wrong VP could seal Loose this race for you.

Hmmm, all the prospects begin with B!!!! Anyone but Billary!!!!

Barack O'Biden, 08

I like Bayh, senate and governor, add VP to that and in 2016 things would be looking very nice for another 8 years of democratic administration. I like Biden for Sec. of State with Clark as Sec of Def, maybe throw Bill on the supreme court. I would hate to lose two senate seats though.

As an independent-democrat who will be supporting Obama, I'm going to need all Obama supporters who keep putting the Clintons down to get over it, or McCain will be the next Commander in Chief and Obama will be just another nominee that didn't win the White House. In addition, Hilary ran the race wrong and thats why she lost, but its time to unify unless you want four more years of a Republican in Office @ 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Go Dems 2008-2012. 2012-2016, 2016-2020, & 2020-2024 with Republican control so we can get back to the economic days of the 90″s to a point

oh great someone else join the fun

mccain/lieberman 08′

hillary 12

Joe Biden probably has more foreign policy and military experience than anyone in Washington. He would be a great choice for Senator O'blah blah

Remember when Biden was basing our troops.

It was on thing to bash Bush on the war in Iraq, but when Biden bashed our troops I lost what ever respect for the man.

Biden, Murtha and Pelosi need to go.

Roy August 14th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Consolation speaking slots, nothing more. Just wait til the roll call is taken and we all get to see what i predicted all along: Clinton/Obama '08, yes in that order.
______________________________________________________
LMAO!! I want what Roy is smoking!!!! LOL!LOL!

It will not be either of these guys, the speechs are the consolation prize.. The VP choice will be the only drama in the convention. Since I signed up for email notification, this means I can just watch on Thursday night when Obama accepts the nominee slot and introduces Wesley Clark as his veep choice,

LOL! BILLARYBOTS!!!!!! Dont hold your breath waiting for Hillary to be picked as VP…..It Aint Going To Happen!!!!!!!

It doesn't really matter which gent he picks … 'cause …
The "Annointed" one is simply not going to be elected as POTUS!!
We Americans, afterall, are real smart ! & wise ! & of course, audacious !!

JD: It is time for a change Obama couldn't do any worse than Bush, and McCain is another Bush

Who cares who the veep is, the democrats won't win the white houe if Obama boy is the best they got.

How about Nancy Pelosi as a VP? Attractive, smart, and genuine? Please Mr. Obama……

I've always loved Biden as Veep. He certainly brings a Leo McGarrity type to the campaign. Although, I'll admit – he doesn't bring a ton of electorial votes from Delaware.

Most importantly, I'd love to see him wipe the smirk off of the GOP VP nominee in the debate. Could you honestly see Bobby Jindal, or Tom Ridge even laying a glove on him?

And to the Hillary folks. Cut it out. We love you. We love Hillary. Stop this nonsense that divides the party.

That any historically democratic voter would cast a vote for McCain (or stay home) because they are bitter over their primary candidate not being the nominee continues to stun me.

If you are a democrat intending to vote for McCain because you are concerned about Obama's experience, I encourage you to rethink your position and consider that every administration is about the entire team. This country has never been run by one person. Obama will build a formidable administration, listen to his advisers, make sound decisions, and represent us well to the world.

If you are a democrat intending to vote for McCain despite your dramatic philosophical differences with the republican party because you think Hillary was the better choice…wow. I can't believe you would forsake your values and sabotage our chance for a democrat in the Oval Office over lingering Primary bitterness.

As an Obama supporter, I would vote for Hillary without hesitation or regret if she had been the nominee. And no, she won't be the nominee…

lets all be georgians today guys because mccain said sooo get it!!!!

If Hillary is not picked for veep, Obama has lost all our votes.

Obama/Hillary 08

Obama is a very dangerous man. Socialism is not far around the corner.
Be smart…..NObama

Either one would can do the job!

Obama could pick a rabbit or racoon at this point for his VP and he'd still get my vote.

YES WE CAN!!! YES WE WILL!!!

Both are quality losers

I think either Joe Biden or Evan Bayh would make great vice presidents. Joe Biden could bring Obama's weak spot up, and Evan Bayh could make Indiana go blue this election along w/ souther states such as NC, GA, and SC. I would honestly like to see Biden the more than Bayh on the ticket but would be fine with either of them

Biden is a solid choice. He will just need to be certain to temper his more edgy comments so that any blowback from the public statements that he makes on Obama's behalf don't turn into a hurrican. Hey, it woud only be about an 80 day strech to election day. I think that he can manag that. These two men could contribute great things to a US that is in need of having a positive influence in the White House again. The US needs that and so does the rest of the world.

I like Biden. He is very tough, and will hit McCain hard for his mud-slinging politics, and his irresponsible war mongering foreign policy. With McCain as president we won't only be in Iraq for years, but now we can also take on Russia. Oh, we can also take on Iran while we're at it!

I think McCain needs to take Obama as a VP…. They both change their views constantly… Who even cares, either way we are screwed….

Lisa,
Hillary will not be the nominee; get over it. If she is, she will lose the election. I recognize the importance of voting for a Democrat, and will vote for Clinton if she somehow wins, but I know that a lot of Obama supporters (particularly younger ones, like me) will not, particularly if Obama were not on the ticket.
Sorry to ruin your hopes, but Obama is our nominee. Get over it.

Seriously?
Do you all think that the Dems and Obama would telegraph his nomination by putting his/her name on the schedule for Wed night?

The fact that Biden and Bayh are on the schedule mean that neither one of them will be the VP pick.

I find it funny that there are only a very few childish posts.

Lisa , Sharron, Mike, Nobama you folks post negativaty every day on each story. You folks need to move on your canidate did. This is not a popularity contest it is about our future as a nation.

Biden and Bayh are idiots to support Barack. Barack has no substance and no issues.

If Obama is not a Muslim as Corsi says in his book, why is his middle name Hussein. Can we find any non-Muslims in the world with Hussein as a middle name?

I think Biden would be a good choice…

I think the VP choices on both sides will determine the winner. Hillary or Biden vs. Ridge or Romney. We'll be voting for VP's come November!!

Obam/Biden is my pick
Nganenu

Not to worry PUMA's the nominee will not be Hillary, however, I am glad you have determined that it is good that she be publiclly humiliated over her loss. That should bide well in the history books of a first failed try and you have now managed to damage any shred of a pollical future she may have had for a second try. Be sure and stay in touch, she will need all of in 2016, because she will never again get my primary vote or any other vote.

Careful what you whine for!

I don't really like Mr. Obama as he's starting at the top of the ladder.
Not a good message to our younger generation. BUT, if Mr. Obama chose Colin Powell as vp, then I may get a chance to vote this year. If he has the nerve, and he does, and picks Bill Richardson, the back stabber, then I feel sorry for us.

respectfully submitted by Vicky

Wikipedia says Biden voted for the war. He therefore does not belong on a "change" ticket.

Guys lets get real, I believe we will see a

Obama/Bayh ticket .

It really makes sense to me becos you've got two young chrismatic men and Bayh can touch those blue color votes barack has been strugglin' to hold for some time

And it I just mention he was an Hilary supporter and well loved just like people love Barack .

Obama/Bayh 08

Joe Biden" is the man for the job.

Unless Hillary comes out of Denver as the nominee or she becomes Obama's running mate, Obama loses my vote.

And I'm sick and tired of Obamabots saying "Hillary Lost! She's a sore loser! Get Over It!". Those Obamabots would probably be whining and crying if Obama and Clinton switched places. Well, the only sore loser in this race is Obama because he is going to lose to McCain in the general election if he even becomes the nominee (note: he is only the presumptive nominee currently). The delegates better wake-up the day before the convention and realize that Hillary is the only one that can clean up the mess left by the Bush administration and the only one that is sure beat McCain in the General Election.

Obama's a dishonest, arrogant, untrustworthy, inexperienced, flip-flopper who constantly makes negative remarks about his own country. I have no clue why so many people including the media admire him. But for me, it's Hillary or McCain '08. Hillary and McCain are both proud Americans.

Please…..Rep. Robert Wexler!

Its Not over till the Vote and super Delegates and deligates can change they do not have to Vote for Obama, and I think they Know the heats on also in there states! Obama could not be the Candidate anybody Look at that fact!

Sorry Lisa ("Once Hillary is selected as nominee"). Hillary has publically said that she will vote for Obama, not for herself (she is a superdelegate) AND will support a vote for Obama by aclamation. As if that's not enough, she will lose the contest by 700 delegates. And, she didn't want her name to be placed in nomination but was convinced to do so by the Obama campaign. This is all about party unity. Hillary knows she lost and supports Obama. Isn't it time we thought about the party and its principles first and personalities second?

Obama/Richardson 08!!

How much you want to bet that Bill Clinton will carry on and on and on and try to knock the VP off prime time or at least wear everyone out so that he is not so well recieved? Bill Clinton has been acting so petty and embittered during this campaign that I am willing to bet a paycheck i can't afford to give away.

This is what Clintons remind one of if there is a crack in the wall they will try to wedge themselves through even it is takes lies,low road remarks ,/changing the rules in the middle of the game to benefit just them.They are the limit .

Caroline K.VP
Biden Vp

So Obama's shirtless romp in the surf gets coverage, but there is no mention of 3rd party candidates like Bob Barr on this website at all? I mean, the categories section still lists Giuliani and Edwards but no mention of Barr or the others.

How about some fair coverage of all the candidates?

I like Biden but he's a two-time loser in presidential elections and he made racially insensitive statements in an undercover audio/video tape.
Bayh—-who the heck is this guy? Obama better introduce him quick and get America used to him or they won't vote for "2 rookies" on a presidential ticket.
Kathryn amherst MA

I don't believe putting Hillarys' name in nomination will change the outcome. It will, however give her the credit she deserves for running such a close race. If Kennedy and Kerry had supported the candidate their constitutents wanted, Obama would be the one wanting to have his name placed in nomination as the runner up. I also have no doubt he would have been chosen as her VP. With that said, the convention is merely the final vote to name the nominee. Unless Obama does something really stupid between now and then, he will be the democratic nominee. I will neverless, write her name on my ballot whether it counts or not. My vote is my vote and it means a lot to me

Men in ties………………yawn.

One from Illinois andone from Indiana–now that is stupid.

Clark is the best choice, easily. His foreign policy cred trumps anything McCain can throw out there. Followed, rather distantly by Biden. When the credit card crisis hits in a big way, do you want the man that ushered it in to be the the VP? NO WAY on Bayh, and I'm from Indiana, he's as much as Dem as Lieberman.

Never heard of these guys these guys are little but they can screw up an election like… Nadar for example

Let it be Biden, let it be Biden, let it be Biden.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

Ooooooh Boy! Bayh & Biden…Mutt & Jeff. Better off contracting the show out to Cheech & Chong.

They are both great. I have been impressed by Joe Biden for many years. He has a great deal of credibility nationally. Also, Obama/Biden sounds just as good as these two look side by side.

* * * * * * * * * *

I heard Rush on the radio to today. He was out-right giddy with excitement over Hill putting her name into nomination. I have no doubt that this will backfire and will work to build excitement over the DNC convention

Obama/Biden is an excellent ticket and is a winner!
McCain/Clinton is also an excellent ticket and certainly the most ideologically suited for Hillary and her supporters. Republican – PUMA its all the same!

Both excellent choices.. Biden and Bayh!

They are both great. I have been impressed by Joe Biden for many years. He has a great deal of credibility nationally. Also, Obama/Biden sounds just as good as these to look side by side.

I see a lot of the posts want Biden for Obama's pick but isn't Biden part of the "Old Washington Politics" that Obama doesn't like? How is he going to explain that?? Bayh is okay but doesn't have much experience, I think neither of them will be his pick.

I like Biden alot too, but the more I learn of this Evan Bayh guy the more I like….He's 57and I'm think'n the long game here 2020 and beyond. We need warriors like Biden and HRC to lead the fight washington.

Bad choices for VP's, once again Nobama giving us an example of his inaptitude and lack of intelligence. God Bless us all if he wins!! He wants change, and yes, the voters are changing him for MC Cain.

Mike,

Totally agree with you, he needs Hillary to win!!! Go Hillary!!!

Patrick Oliver, please tell us which woman McCain is going to pick as VP…

Could it be Carly Fiorina, with not one day of foreign policy experience, fired from her job at HP after gutting the company and sending hundreds, if not thousands of job overseas?

Or could it be Sarah Palin, who has endorsed parts of Obama's energy plan, and who is currently under investigation for trying to have her ex-brother-in-law illegally terminated from his job?

Oooooh, those are such good choices. Yes McCain, pick one of those two please.

Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!

PUMA!

I'm african american and I am amazed. CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC basically threw this election. I watched all the debates, they asked Mrs. Clinton Questions, she answered them and this nut says " I aggree with Senator Clinton(Change) and I was waiting on one of these so called even handed news organizations to step up and say wait a minute.

Change what, change when or change how?

FOXNEWS is just a Joke station so before you go there, It's not really worth mentioning.

Isn't it amazing though, a candidate with no platform, but he looks good, shuffling his feet, he got all his teeth, and he can smile on cue, and he can say nothing positive about African Americans, and this is the 1st brown man to get elected.

Way to go.

I rather vote for Cynthia McKinney at least she got more spunk.

Colin Powell is the most sensable man I ever heard of and he to smart to run with Obama.

Syas a lot.

TXBAD…

The name says it all…BAD and a vote for McCain will go from bad to even worse.

Biden has the experience in forien affairs and more than enough global respect to help resolve international problems without declaring war every time there is a problem.

The only solution to any problem that the republicans can ever come up with is war!War after, war after war!They claim to be protecting our lives?Tell that to the millions of american familes whose homes are in forclosure!Tell that to the more than 100,000,00 americans without health insurance!

CNN please help us! Shed off your ties with corporate America and politicians. I look like a hypocrite when I talk to Chinese about free media. Please!!!

I noticed that Bill Richardson is speaking Wednesday night as well!!!!!

Obama Richardson 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just hope he dosnt pick kaine. hes a good guy its just that hes new on the scene so i hope its one of those two expecially biden. who may have derailed rudy gulianis campaign.

SIGH

McSame supporters you guys are a waste of space, time and energy.
You follow right after your idiot leader's direction and post on blogs like this to justify your uneducated decision to support him. McSame supporters you have no substance like him. You feel the urge to prove yourselves. Hmmm….what a pity.

Obama/Biden '08

'nuff said

Bayh would be the better pick. Hillary would never be a good pick, for VP or President. Go away now PUMAs.

Joyce in Florida August 14th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Well this is interesting. It could be that now Hillary Clinton will be nominated as well, that maybe one of these two will be her V.P. pick? I am so glad I kept Hillary for President stickers on my vehicle. This convention should be REAL interesting. Can't wait to see what happens. Will be the most exciting convention ever!!! Wish I could be there. I think things will be changing in the next few days leading up the convention. GO HILLARY!!!!!!
======================================================
Lisa August 14th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Once Hillary is selected as the nominee, are the Obama supporters going to cry foul and threnten to vote for Mccain?
———————————————————————————————–

You two bitter old women actually think that Hillary will be nominated at the convention?? ROFLMAO!!! It's a SYMBOLIC gesture, she will turn over her delegates to Obama that night!! LOL!! You two really thought she still had a chance! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Obama/Biden please!!!!!

I support Joe Biden and Barrack Obama. Even if Obama does not choose Biden as his running mate, I know Biden will be influential in the decision-making of an Obama candidacy and presidential cabinet. That, alone, helps me be at peace. It's more of a 'straight talk express' than anything McCain ever had going for him in his run for the presidential race.

Condi Rice once accused Richard Clarke of being one who was known to "break china". I feel historians will agree that china needed to be broken, and Clarke was right in raising the flag on the 9/11 terror alert prior to its existence.

Biden has the best handle on what it takes to keep America safe. The public debates that occured during the Democratic nominations prove Biden has the best handle on this situation and is in a good position to advise his party's candidate, honestly, on what is at stake.

No, he may be too outspoken for some to believe in as President, but honesty is exactly what we Americans need and expect. Sometimes the truth hurts, and I believe Biden and Obama will be wise enough, together, to help lead America to a better way of life for all in the world, not just Republicans vs. Democrats vs Independents.

Do we need further divisiveness? No. I feel there is a common bond between all political parties, ideologies, faiths and genders. Finding that bond is OUR responsiblity, NOT that of the candidate whom we choose to lead this great nation.

If it's Biden I will finally be a fallen- PUMA.
The man is the best qualified for the office of president and if used properly by Obama would be the best VP in history.
Of course, there is always the possibility that Obama will find a new book to write and yet another position to run for and Biden could just take over the job!
Us Puma's are not blindly falling into Obamaland because we just don't believe him- has nothing to do with sour grapes about Hillary.

JOEBAMA!!!!!

I think Biden would be a great VP.

Hillary/Biden 08
No Obama

to all the ones saying that obama is the nominee, wake up he has not been nominated yet. and if he is it wont be until all the delagates vote. any one even hillary still has a chance.

Biden for VP and I am so over the Clintons …. they are so self centered and think only of themselves versus the Country. if by some God unforsaken reason Obama does not win the election it will sorely be the Clintons faught …. we will never forgive them for that… I am a woman and feel strongly for the cause of women … and I use to be a true Clinton supporter however, their true colors are showing!

I prefer Biden to be the VP.

Please ban the Clintons from the convention completly do not let Bill or HIllary speak. I feel that they are still trying to over throw Obama.

OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE VOTES FOR HRC IT IS OVER! SHE LIED SAYING SHE WILL HELP OBAMA HOWEVER I ALWAYS KNEW SHE WOULD NOT…

It will be Bayh. It would not be a wise choice to pick Biden because he was seeking the nomination and the HRC supporters would just loose it!!!!

One of them has to be the VP choice.

After having seen both of these two men speak, I must say I'm more impressed with Biden. He's much better at the traditional attack dog politics needed as a VP. Bayh is nice, but unfortunately Edwards tried that tack out in 2004 and that proved to be a mistake. Obama needs an attack dog like Cheney was in 2004.

If thats the 2 choices for VP, Bye bye Democratic Party, I mailed a donation letter from Obama back and said please do not contact me again!

McCain all the Way in 2008, Obmabots you asked for it you get it and coming in November! a big eye opening defeats in the States that matter!

Biden would be the better Veep, adding decades of credilbe foreign policy experience. A strong experienced partner for the inexperienced Obama. I liked him in the Iowa debates, and his resume is rock solid.

On the other hand, Bayh could put normally solidly Republican Indiana in play, and force McCain to defend it, which would move resources from other states in play like Colorado or Virginia or even the big ones like Ohio or Florida. That could be a brilliant tactical move, especially if voters fail to see it for what it would be.

So, is Obama thinking about the next 12 weeks or the 4 years that follow it? We will soon find out. I'm sure he's doing lots of thinking in Hawaii.

my name is ajok kangor.
i know that fighting is going on around the world. i am a canadian citizen and i hare with canadains, if i win something good i thought people would talk to me and tell what rules are in canada but peolpe are abusing me and i have been in canada for 5 years and in those five years i have moved to 4 houses. i know the canadaina government knows the case between me and my husband. i don't like to talk about him becouse he has a group that works with him. i also know that 5there is a fight in russia and the jewish people(gorgia) but we are living with one crist. to me this is a disaster and it dousent make me haappy.even though i havent been in canada i have to keep my team(my basketball team)

I looked at Sen. Biden's biography on Wikipedia and found him to be an impressive potential VP due to his long service on the senate judiciary and foriegn affairs committees. Note: did anyone notice how McCain plagiarized from the Wikipedia site some comments about the country of Georgia?

Sen. Bayh is also a solid choice, but perhaps Biden would be better, given the current crises in our relations with Russia, Iran, Iraq, etc. Bush/Cheney and McCain offer only bankrupt diplomacy and failures in our foreign relations.

Bayh was a Hillary supporter, so there is a good chance he will be the one … hoping that he will get other Hillary supporters to cross over to Obama … and many might just do it … although a vote for McCain makes Hillary a better bet for 2012!

I don't think Biden and Bayh will be Obama's VP. Actually, the fact that they are going to give speech about national security on Wednesday night tells you that they will not be. The real VP is Tim Kaine, who hasn't been announced to give any speech yet. This tells people that he's the final choice for Obama, or else such a high profile guy like him will certainly get a speech spot anyhow.

If Bidden is VP, I would vote for the democarats over McCain.

Senator Biden or General Zinni would be excellent. Both men are no non-sense kind of guys that demand results and are open to new ways of achieving those results.

McCain's website gives "talking points" for supporters to post on blogs to win prizes. This is not a joke. This explains the repetitive, mindless comments posted by McCain supporters. The rest are written by Rush Limbaugh posing as a die-hard Clinton backer.

BIDEN! BIDEN! BIDEN!

Hillary should be the nominee! Without her at least as VP, Obama will not win.
Mike

I will never vote again. The Powers That be have proven that they choose Presidents not voters. 2000, 2004 ring a bell.

I think everyone is outdated in this world why cant barack go on vacation what is up with that? Are all of youn people so brainwashed with george that you cant have a real person in the white house? dont you want a president that is human and with human feelings!!!!!!!!!! get real america. go obama 08

Obama/Biden Good Choice

Biden has been my pick all along. He's smart, funny, and a little edgy. Obama/Biden will make McCain look like the confused old man that he is pretending not to be!

Obama/Biden '08

Who cares which robot Obama or McCain pick for VP. Democrats and republicans are all the same and only interested in manipulating the public in order to get power and money for their corporate interests. Whatever happened to all the promises democrats made if they took control of Congress, like ending the war? They sure used then threw Cindy Shehan aside as soon as the got what they wanted from her. Don't expect change from Obama, and certainly not from McCain. The only candidate that offers real change is RALPH NADER. Stop voting mindlessly for democrats and republicans. Vote Nader/Gonzalez '08.

Sen. Obama, please be careful whoever you choose.

I like Bayh but he is young and there may be some concern about two guys from neighboring states.

I like Biden but I don't need two months of stuff about his plagirizing speeches in 1992 (hey Mike, thanks for being helpful and illustrating my point for me). Of course, McCain lifts his speeches from Wikipedia so I guess it might be a wash now.

Make a good selection and let's win in November.

God, I really can't wait to watch all these Hillary fools walk off a short plank and drowned in their debt.

Such ignorance truly is entertaining to watch.

And yea, please keep the bumper sticker on…its akin to the 'student driver' sign that warns the rest of us how incompetent the person behind the wheel is.

Bill Richardson has the broadest experience of the bunch, shares Obama's sensibilities about how govt. should work and how we should relate to the rest of the world, and gives geographic and ethnic diversity to the ticket.

With Richardson on the ticket, McCain will lose his home state, and Obama will take Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico.

I don't think it will be either Biden or Bayh and I will tell you why… the VP who ever it may or may not be will not be announced as a speaker on that night, The only people that know who that is is the nominee and the VP choice. I think that it will be a surprise to everyone in that hall who the VP will. I have a feeling that no one is expecting this person to be there at all

The 18 million Hillary supporters believe that their voices should be heard. Why do you think that Obama's 18 million votes are more important than hers? Oh, because the DNC annointed HIM and that makes it so? I remember conventions as a child when this crap didn't go on in advance of the convention, and when it was a tight race, both nominees waited until the votes were cast. Why are you so afraid of a roll call vote? The ONLY reason Obama is the "presumed" nominee is because the DNC and Pelosi bullied the super delegates to say so, and they can change their minds. Nothing is written on stone tablets here. Also, when it is this close, the OBVIOUS VP choice is the other candidate-the two can then pull in ALL the Democrats and win the election. If the DNC has any brains left, they will make this clear. The two would be unstoppable-without her, he will lose not only some Hillary supporters, but the independents who like her policies.

Wait a minute. Doesn't it seem a bit funny that Bill Clinton would have a spot on the same night the V.P will be anounced? Is it possible, maybe, just perhaps, he will be announcing his wife as the next Vice President of the United States of America? God Bless America, God Bless Bill and Hillary!!!

As long as it is NOT Hilldog!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe she is insisting on sharing front and center stage with Obama. She will never admit DEFEAT.

A LOSER A SORE LOSER who won't ever go away…her and old Billy Boy too. I'm so stinking sick of the Clintons.

What short memories you all have. Senator Biden was the head of the Senate Judiciary committee during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas. Poor Anita Hill was put out to dry by that committee. Biden, Kennedy et al did nothing to help her. Women were so outraged that at least three women were elected to the Senate in 1991. He's also had his share of "macaca" moments. Neither Bayh or Biden help the ticket. I suspect that Hillary will be his VP, as her name can also be submitted into nomination for that slot.

i know one thing,, im watchin the convention on wed,,,,, biden,, dont know that much about him,, but anyone would be better than hillary,, geezz,, hillary lost,,, so wht is she and her"bill" in all this??? bill was "kicked out",, so why do they get another chance here?? am i missing suomthing?

Who cares, I am a Democrat and sick of my own party!

How about Bill Ayers as his VP. That would be a great ticket for the Left Wing of the Democratic Party.

I hope Obama picks Biden for his VP they are both cool guys who tell it how it is even though people refuse to hear them. And Obama actually has more experience at least real experience than Hillary Clinton. So start reseraching voters and you too will find this out just thought you should know. Because the myth of Hillary's experience is exactly that a MYTH!

Hillary supporters are a great reason why a woman should not be President. You see how catty you are…she lost let it go.

You're still holding a grudge over her lost. Let it go.

OBAMA 08

Both are unremarkable potential candidates.

Count me in for Wes Clark, too. BIdden ok- Bayh-blah.

i like biden and bayh, but i dont know kaine of VA.

obama/clinton 2008!!!!

Bayh is the pick—-Obama, the One, the Messiah, needs Indiana.
Watch and learn.

Instead of sending Hillary to the convention, send her to Jenny Craig.
Did you see the size of her butt? That thing could hurt somebody.

thought Obama's VP was supposed to be a coin?
Isn't that how he makes his decisions?
The "Flipping" and "Flopping" of a 2headed coin?

Note: you can't flip-flop with a 2 headed coin, it says the same thing on both sides.

If you have heard the news, Karl Rove is getting involved which spells trouble for Obama. It would certainly be in Obama's best interest to pick Hillary as his running mate. Mark my words, once Rove gets involved, he will use the same tactics to get McCain elected, as he did with Bush. Weather it be legal or illegal with Rove involved, McCain will be president in 08…

Obama/Clinton 08

If its BIDEN – then it's Bye-Bye Obama!

He'll never get the votes without Hillary!

Who ever he decides on should be the best. Together they will make a great team.

Both of these men are great canidates and will represent America well.

I like Joe Biden but as Secretary of State not vp, I think he can help Obama more if given that post, his experience in the senate and his understanding of international affairs is something it should not be ignored…While I am at it…Chuck Hagel should be our Secretary of Defense….Bayh seems like a good man, I just don't think is his time yet…..HOWEVER, there is one person who I think would complement Obama in key areas, someone who is respected and admired by democrats,republicans and independants and that person is the fine Governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius who has been eleted and re-elected to office (on her own merrits) she is intelligent, she is a visionary, understands the main priorities of the american people, someone of solid character and extremely likeable..I think she would be a superb choice and I know people would get excited and rally behind the ticket.

Obama / Sebelius 08

Biden is a great choice, he's been a great chair of the Foreign Relations Committee.

Senator Biden's career has already been far more successful than it should have considering his mediocre talents.

But Senator Bayh, please do not throw away a promising political future by joining the ticket of this neophyte with a short record of nothing but opportunism and the advancement of his own self-interests, often by sleazy means.

Lisa, if Hillary is selected against the will of a majority of voters in the primary there is NO WAY I will threaten to vote for McCain. I may have to hold my nose, but I will vote for Hillary because I am a true democrat, true to democratic principles — not dealing with hurt feelings and emotions.

Without Hillary on the ticket as VP, Obama loses a LOT of votes —
LOTS AND LOTS — including mine.

He needs someone on there who the people can trust as being "READY on DAY ONE."

OH NO Biden he is so long winded and loses his temper. Bayh is weak and won't do anything for the ticket. Good choices Obama.

The obvious best choice is Hillary Clinton for VP, but it should be plain to most by now that the Democrats can't aeem to ever do the obvious best thing. ( If they formed a firing line, it would probably be in a circle.) Choosing Hillary, and winning with her, would make the office of the Presidency more likely to be Democratic for sixteen years. Maybe the thought of that much success is juxt too much for most ego-centric politicians with various personal agendas—-some of which are Obamamaniacs.With success seemingly their tail-wind, these Democratic party planners sometimes seem determined to force what seems to be a likely success off it's course! GWB has set them up to succeed. Let's hope that they don't put the brakes on this train by refusing to put Hillary on the ticket for the win!

I think the schedule is given to the press to throw them off, hands down.

After months of keeping it under wraps, would Obama make it this easy to figure out?

I am actually thinking Clinton today. Don't forget that the "nomination process" is Wednesday.

Could it be that "both parties agreed" to include Clinton's name so easily because it directly feeds into her VP nomination that night?

- Matt

Barack and Joe….I like that combo!

BIDEN, now that is true straight talk.

I'm voting for Obama in the fall, but these guys make cardboard look exciting.

Hopefully Biden won't plagerize his speech.

ok ,all of Hillary supporters ,those of you that will not vote for Obama we will certainly suffer through another four bush years just more painful.

Shame on Obama!!! We don't want Obama!! We need a real leader!! Send Obama packaging for home!!

Biden was my candidate of choice. He had it all over Obama.

If Billary tries to steal the nomination, it's going to get UGLY! They're showing their true colors and I think the world's tired of it.

If she had this much conviction, she should've run against Bush. She was afraid, and now her carefully made plans of world domination have been soured by an audaciously unlikely competetor.

GET OVER IT!!!

OBAMA '08

Hillary who?

Bernie Moore-Knowles
Kea'au, Hawai'i

Biden is cool

BIDEN PLEASE!!!!

OBAMA / BIDEN 2008!

Who cares, Barack is not qualified

It may be best to choose the older of the two Senators since undeclared voters make such an issue about Obama's inexperience. What will be next; they do not like the way he dresses?

CW says that it will not be anyone who has been publicly slated to speak at the convention.

This is a fantastic choice. Joe Biden is a longtimes Washington insider however, his stance on the National Security against the Bush Cheney administration stands high. When Bush and Cheney almost sell the U.S. Ports to the Arab along with the complicity of their fellow Republicans, he was Joe Biden that blast them and get the attention of the rest of the Nation. He will be an extraordinary choice and the McCain clowns and their negative attacks won't have no legs to stand.

WILL ONLY VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!

I hope there is an upset at the convention and Hillary takes the nomination that was righfully hers.

Hillary will be nominating Obama at the convention do any of her staunch supporters not get this? Can one of you respond and help me understand your thinking?

OBAMA 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!

Biden is my first choice for VP, and Bayh is my second….this is GREAT news.

Biden is a bitter man…try another!

I say BIDEN he will put the SMACK down on ROMNEY and MCCAIN we have to have a fighter for the 2 spot and BIDEN will be a great COUNTER for the SMEAR TALK EXPRESS !!!!!!!

Biden all the way!

Good night to watch re-runs of Mash.

I agree I hope it's Biden!!!

Toni Zinni will be Obama,s V.P. choice!

If Hillary's name is on the ballot, that's where my vote will go.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised….the old' Clinton's never say die' What I would like to see is Hillary paying back the money Obama gave her to help with her debts created during the primaries. We gave money to Obama ..and not sorry…, but we want to see our money go to Obama's canidancy not to Hillary having a video made by expensive movie producers. How are you going to pay for that, Hillary???

Tim Kaine is his VP

I hope its Biden

No Hillary. No Vote.

I get the feeling that these people who are all fired up about Hillary getting her name in nomination are not old enough to have seen many conventions. There's about as much chance of the ritual placing her name in changing anything as of Ron Paul running away with the election. I doubt if I'll even bother watching until either Biden or Obama are scheduled to speak.

i'll let the media create their buzz

TO ALL YOU OBAMA HATERS, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU SAY, WHAT YOU THINK. SEN. OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. . HE DOES NOT NEED GOD, GOD IS ALREADY ON HIS SIDE.

PLease America–choose Mad Jose Biden! He is wise, tough, and exactly what you need. Go on, you know that it makes sense

I'm banking on and hoping for Biden.

Good!! Obama will pick a white guy, allowing McCain to name a woman and win the election. I'm a life-long Democrat (voted for every Dem since McGovern), but I'd rather have 4 years of McCain than Obama, the most under-qualified presidential candidate in history. Hillary will be the Democratic "savior" in 2012. Just watch.

Joyce: Please drem on dear. Clinton will not be the nominee and even if she were she has no money to run a campaign, the Republicans would be delighted as she is the one they wanted to run against and there are more than 18 million Obama supporters who would NOT support her.

Ew. He should pick Barbara Boxer.

Obama is well educated and a great orator, so is Biden and Bayh. With that said, God has blessed us with a great candidate and excellent VP choices.

With all considerations after due diligence, someone will be nominated. Speculating on the VP choice is fine but to go further to denounce one over the other is not any good. At the end of the day, Obama can't satisfy everybody but only take it as one of the many inputs before settling on a VP candidacy. Ditching Obama for not choosing the speculated candidate by segment of the pubic indicates that no amount of appeasement will work! At every twist and turn, Obama will be twisted to the tune of others. Doesn't this sound childish?

Consolation speaking slots, nothing more. Just wait til the roll call is taken and we all get to see what i predicted all along: Clinton/Obama '08, yes in that order.

Raymond-I love how anyone with any intelligence is "arrogant", obviously W's arrogance proves your theory wrong.

That being said, Biden is arrogant, but so are all politicians…..look at McCain over the last week. Next edition of Websters will probably list Arrogance-John McCain.

Who cares, I won't be watching or listening and Obama could pick God Himself and have God accept and he wouldn't get my vote.

YES! Very good choices. I'm very pleased with the final 2. Either one would be a solid VP selection.

I hope that which ever one doesn't get selected, is offered a high-level cabintet post. Biden would be a good Sec. of State, among other things.

Is it me, or does Evan Bayh look like Kevin Kline in that photo?

Go Obama! I hope you choose Biden.

Joe Biden is by far the best candidate for VP.
World-renowned and respected, brilliant, fast, style, substance and
personality.
Mr. Axelrod, you got it wrong again with Georgia. Ask the UN to
do something!! This is the worst and most pathetic joke ever.
The UN has never done anything, anywhere. It is a sorry and sick
organization, and should be closed down, restructured and moved to
Geneva. And nobody would ever notice them again.
However, Obama got damaged again, and McCain looks stronger.
Please wake up and start a new strategy.

I just confirmed it. IT IS BIDEN!!!

Great choice Mr President.

PLEASE dont pick bayh. pick biden so we can shut the ididots up about this "experience" nonsense!!!!!!

what is mccain's "experience" that makes the uninformed, angry, forgetful, lobbyist & big business-loving, non-troop-supporting neoCON even a consideration for president of our great country? he plans to STAY THE COURSE of the most failed and unpopular worldwide president in U.S. history!!! yeah, THAT'S a good plan.

if some guy FAILED MISERABLY at your company and you had to fire him, would you hire his flip-flopping new friend who tells you to your face that he is going to make the same terrible decisions that were so detrimental to your business under the first guy??? OF COURSE NOT!!! and if you would, THAT is the reason you are back living in your parents' basement!!!!!!!!

Joyce wake up, wake up you're dreaming again.

I don't understand how the 18 million voters for Clinton think their votes are more important than the 18 million that voted for Obama. It was close but she lost, it's time to move on. I wasn't happy that Bush won the last cycle (by an even slimmer margin) but none the less he is the President and we had to move on.

Well Joyce in Florida, you can keep your bumper sticker for 10 more days. And then, with any luck, you'll understand: IT'S OVER.

Obama '08

Joyce…as a fellow female American I too like Clinton. I don't like how she ran her campaign and the levels she went to to try and win. But I am and have been a strong Obama supporter and know he will take this country in the right direction when he (we) win in November.

After Obama accepts the nomination I hope you will join the me and support Obama so we can get this country back on track.

uhh………news flash: Obama is the nominee. plain, simple, over and done. The End.

Look, I have no problem with Hillarys name being thrown in there. Its not going to change anything. Plus, the democrats know that taking the nomination away from the actual nominee will spell a big loss in November, no matter who is on either end of the scenerio.

Some of these Hillary supporters, again thats "some", meaning a very small, few, are like those crazy cult members yelling about rapture and waiting around for a big spaceship to come down and save them.

Clinton lost. Let it go. OBAMA08!!

Hillary Clinton should be the v.p. choice. If not, Obama will lose this election.

I just get chills of excitement waiting to see whom Queen Pelosi and King Dean will ordain for their appointee's running mate. Such suspense!!!

Didn't they switch the VP speech to Tuesday this year…I'm almost sure I've read that that's the night Hillary is speaking.

She is the VP candidate, no?

Either one would be great!! Just NO McCain! McCain is part of "Project for a New American Century" and we will be in WW3 90 days after he becomes president (hopefully NOT) and our boys and girls will be in a draft again! God Help Us! Go Obama!!

two great inspirational men, why of why can't we have a choice like them for President, we are stuck with a phony rock star as the Democratic nominee. Compare his record of achieving nothing to that of Biden or Bayh. The choice is easy for me, I'll be doing a write in!

Give us Biden!!!

Obama '08

Joyce, get over it. Let the pipe dream go!!! Obama is the nominee, accept it and get on with your life. All this wishful thinking and pie in the sky over Hillary has to stop! All you Hill supporter need to get on the Dem bandwagon and get the GOP out of office.

Anybody but McCain.

I'll vote for Paris Hilton but not McBush.

Obama '08

Wes Clark is by far the best choice…
Joe Biden would be acceptable but he doesn't bring as much as Clark & the Dems would also loose a valuable seat in the Senate.
Obama/ Biden just doesn't have quite the ring of Obama/ Clark…

Senator Biden please…. for the sake of our country and the world. There is no one more qualified and charismatic as him and those are the two most important traits for the President.

I respect Senator McCain but Republicans have tarnished our country and her system. That said, I wish Obama would be the president and though I like him a lot, he is relatively inexperienced and could definitely use Biden's years of experience in policy and planning. Not only Obama but all of us.

I'm glad you kept your bumper sticker also, it flags your ignorance for everyone around you

Hillary's not going to be nominated…nothing's changing. Putting her name in nomination is a mere formality designed to satisfy idiots like you

I hope and pray that this means Obama is going to give the nod to Wes Clark.

Does any body think any of these people add anything to the ticket?

Hope the Convention is not too much drama. Democrats do like to do things their way. Any democrat will win in November. Two life-long republicans I know, my husband and his 94-year-old father, voted for Obama in the primary and will do it again in November. This says something.

Oh and Joyce in Forida,
we all know you are a manipulating republican just trying to sitr crap up..

You guys are pors at stirring the pot… "What a talent.

Did either of these two guys get close to 18 million people to vote for them? Seems to me the choice should be clear, if she wants it, Hillary Clinton should be the VP running mate.

Obama/Clinton or NoObama

Come on, pick Tim Kaine, you know you want to…

Nope, it'll be Clark.

We all know that McSame loves Hillywood actresses.. Hence, If McCain picks Jessica Alba then I might vote for him!

Biden is good people, it looks like it is him, after going to accept endorsement from firemans union. That is a big old clue right there!

Obama your the man and I love you, but Bayh is only big up north, we are running a 50 state campaign here. Biden is the man for job, experience and a brand name, he is the definition of patriotic and plus he's a fighter.
If McCain tried to mudsling this guy ( Biden) he would be like " One time in band camp… McCain cheated on his wife while she was sick, care to comment." I love Biden he's the man

Once Hillary is selected as the nominee, are the Obama supporters going to cry foul and threnten to vote for Mccain?

Just a reminder to bloggers

Folks like Raymond Duke, nannie bouroughs, etc are getting points from the McBomb campaign to blog. Yes, it's another contest from McBomb. McBomb is giving out prizes.

I hope you folks win yourself a nice little box of McBomb breath mints to freshing your potty mouths.

I thought Obama's VP was supposed to be a coin?
Isn't that how he makes his decisions?
The "Flipping" and "Flopping" of a 2headed coin?

Well i'm not sure who Hillary should select as her VP. Maybe Obama or maybe not!!

Who?

Well this is interesting. It could be that now Hillary Clinton will be nominated as well, that maybe one of these two will be her V.P. pick? I am so glad I kept Hillary for President stickers on my vehicle. This convention should be REAL interesting. Can't wait to see what happens. Will be the most exciting convention ever!!! Wish I could be there. I think things will be changing in the next few days leading up the convention. GO HILLARY!!!!!!

Please let it be Biden!

Obama is such a joke… He could have God as his VP and I still would not vote for this Paris Hilton clone…

LOVE BOTH OF THEM.

THEY ARE GREAT GUYS.

I like these two guys

bIDEN IS A GOOD CHOICE FOR VP. hE IS AS ARROGANT AS THE ONE HE SUPPORTS.
