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.
