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. To Sue, Michigan- I agree, why are 18 million Obama voters more important than 18 million Clinton voters.

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.

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.

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???? 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.

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. Obama won't pick Biden.

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. I think a dynamite choice would be MARIO CUOMO.
