CNN

Wouldn't Secretary of State be a wiser decision for Biden?

He will be a good choice! Of course, I don't see how anyone McBush picks will make any real difference anyway.

hmm...moderation....people can bash and claim that McCain had the questions before hand but no comments to the contrary get through?

Obama will fail without Hillary. The unity of the Democratic Party depends on her as the VP nominee.

For the love of God, every day there is new "BUZZ" on who the candidates will select for their running mates. It is almost as bad as the ever present polls out there. ANNOYING

Doesn’t matter who he chooses, I will still be writing in Hillary's name come November. I invite and encourage all my PUMA brothers and sisters who cannot fathom the ridiculousness of an Obama presidency to do the same.

DOWN WITH OBAMA AND HIS RACIST WIFE!

Biden is the best pick. I believed Obama/Clinton would have been the dream ticket, but Clinton brings too much baggage. Because if you get Hillary, you also get Bill.

Joe Biden knows how to handle the Righties, he's also very strong in foreigh affairs. With Biden, Obama can't lose!

And for you Clinton supporters, your candidate ran a bad campaign get over it and stop using scapegoats to justify your defeat. This is a critical election and we can't help votes made or not made over spite. This is ridiculous, you all are old enough to vote, so start acting like grown ups, and do the responsible thing. Vote for the candidate that supports your ideas and views.

WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE. LET HIM ATTACK MCCAIN.....

OBAMA........08

Biden is another liberal who likes to give speeches. Birds of the same feather flock together. It is a disgrace for Democratic party.

If you want America BACK people, Obama is the key. I have been a registered Republican all my life. Now I am not so sure about the policies of the Republican Party. Too bad, but now I am going to vote for the person who is for the little people because that is what most Americans are today. Not rich and priviledged like GW Bush and McCain (who's wife by the way is a multimillionaire). I just want a politician who can relate to; which bill should I pay this week (the phone or the car payment)? Do you really think the aforementioned politians know anything about how most Americans struggle? Me, I am voting for the man who has been there, and can still remember and isn't ashamed to talk about his struggles. Come on people, THINK, make a good decision!

i am shocked people are willing to allow politics play a role in winning the white house. people are stating that they will not vote if hillary is not on the ticket....that means u will allow someone who disagrees with ur belief to continue the bush-cheney yrs. Biden is the best person on foreign policy Obama can pick.

Biden?? The plagiarist? The loud mouth? bring him on!

Being a long time democrat who has voted since President Carter's time, I find it hard to believe that I can not even force myself to vote for Obama.
I won't go into detail as to why I won't vote for him but I will give some clues;
1. Obama's voting for FISA and the allowing the telecommunications act to stay intact with added repressions on american's privacy (stamping on our 4th amendment rights, undercutting our freedoms)
2. Lack of politcal stances that one can count on. He has swung so many times in the last couple of months from saying he will do one thing and doing another. I just don't trust him.
3. His dissing of HRC and our ex-president Bill Clinton who he allowed his entire troop of followers to join in saying that he was a racist. Unbelievable lack of respect for the democrats greatest president in our lifetime.
4. DNC's rigging of having Obama nominated and I won't go into detail because Everyone knows the story.
I'll be voting for McCain because I trust him. I do not like a number of his policies because I am and have been a pretty progressive democrat all of my life. I'll tell you one thing though; I will not allow the DNC to force a candidate down my throat and then
believe that us old democrats are between a rock and a hard place and that we have no choice other than voting for Obama. I think that the DNC needs to learn a lesson and lose this election and I'll just wait until the 4 years have gone by with McCain as president and see whether the democratic party has restored themselves to some semblance of sanity. I'm not alone in these thoughts, there are many many loyal democrats in this same position that I am in. It will cost Obama plenty of votes.

All the marketing can't hide the real Barack, he's just not the man they say he is, he can wear what ever mask he wants, people have seen though him.

I can just see the smear campaign now...

Obama / Bi(n)(la)den '08

Wouldn't put it past some of the people on here.

I cant think of anyone better. And by the way shame on McCain for having cheated and lied to the nation. What A shame! pfff

Biden does not mince words or trying to be cute. He is a great choice.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

A candidate with minimal political experience and a complete lack of military experience, relying on a VP (and presumably a Sec. of Def.) with substantial foreign policy experience when making military decisions...hmmm...are we talking Bush-Cheney or Obama-Biden?

What happened to the times when Presidents, scientist and astronauts where Celebrities. Maybe we need to find those times again.

I would love to see Obama/Bidden working to bring this country back to the celebrity mode it once held.

I guess Biden is okay. He has a big mouth, but he's a decent choice for VP candidate. I guess there is no other alternative in the democratic party.

Great! Another white guy like me. Why is this country so afraid of putting a woman in a position of power. Other large countries have. Wake us America – it's 2008. Now we'll have to wait until 2012 to get Hillary in the White House.

If McCain wins this year you better bet that there will be a big push against the Clintons in 2012 and will be the first to sign up. The Clintons are hurting Obama right now along with their radical supporters. They better get there act together or this will be the end for Hillary. Obama has no control over Bill or Hillary and that is exactly why she cannot be the VP. They are both out of control.

Shame on McCain for cheating on Saturday. In addition his plagarism of the cross story is beyond comprehension.

I do hope Biden is the VP.

why i cant leave a comment on the cone of silence cnn

Ms. Vee- NJ
Biden is my choice for for OBAMA's VP. He's the Dick Chenny that every PREZ needs. An interivewer told Dick Chenney that most American people thought the war in Iraq was not necessary, he looked straight in the interviewers face and said " I don't care what the american people think" . That was OK because Chenney said it. Biden is the only other person that could do that.

Obama/Biden 08

Look for grandpa McMunster to annouce his candidate soon after Obama. McCain has no original thoughts and he's more obsessed with Obama than the media is. His commercials talk more about Obama than himself!

I'm sure that McCain will pick someone that shares his affection with ABBA and that who will have no problems dancing with him to "Dancing Queen."

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

John McCain. Turning the red states pink.

Biden is the man, I heard his debates in Des Moines, and I still think this man could debate circles around ANYONE McMuffin will choose for his VP....

Bring it on!

Obama could clone Lincoln from DNA and select him as a running mate. It still wouldn't matter.

Forget his inexperience...forget his ultra-liberal leanings; Obama does not posess the character to be President of the United States.

If McCain wins this year you better bet that there will be a big push against the Clintons in 2012 and will be the first to sign up. The Clintons are hurting Obama right now along with their radical supporters. They better get there act together or this will be the end for Hillary. Obama has no control over Bill or Hillary and that is exactly why she cannot be the VP. They are both out of control.

Those PUMA supporters are going to get a rude awakening if McCain actually wins and suddenly starts stripping our country of what few rights Bush didn't take away. I'm pretty sure HRC never came out in favor of greater tax breaks for the rich, a Supreme Court in the mold of Alito and Scalia, and a country without legal access to safe abortions.

Obama and Biden will do a great job, and will make me even prouder to be a young, educated American Soldier as opposed to an old, scared, illiterate white cracker.

Obama must be tough with these barbaric russians,Poland,Germany,and Czech Rep should be armed to the teeth NOW more than ever !! The russkies have shown their true colors,thank GOD it happened now rather than later.
And definetly bring Ukraine into NATO,furthermore Condi Rice should be invited to stay on despite having served under Bush,she´s too valuable and knowledgable to let go, Colin Powell should ber asked to return as well !!!!

Oh good, now we can add the fact that Biden BASHED OUR TROOPS right along with Kerry, Murtha, Pelosi, and some others to the campaign.

It is one thing to bash Bush, but bashing our troops and lying about them the way that Biden did is unforgivable.

The likes of Biden, Kerry, Murtha, and Pelosi need to go.

Bring on Biden. He will definitely sink Obama's ticket.

To accuse Sen McCain of cheating in the Saddelback forum by violating the cone of silence just goes to show the depths the Obamabots will sink to protect The Messiah!

If you will not take Sen McCain at his word that he did NOT violoate the "cone of silence", if you are going to call Sen. McCain a liar and cheat, the why should we take Sen. Obama at his word that he was never Muslim, that he did nothing wrong with Tony Rezko, that he never heard those inflammatory rhetoric fr Rev Wright and on and on?

It works both ways!! The fact that because Obama did poorly at that forum, his kool-aid drinking followers now want to discredit it! Obama is using gutter politics straight fr so. side of Chicago!

If there was ever a contest on intergrity and honesty, I would say McCain would win hands down.

Biden would be an excellent choice.

Wake up people. He's isn't going to pick Biden. Biden would be a bad choice. He will udoubtably put his foot in his mouth. CNN artificially generates this "speculation". Its going to be Evan Bayh. Bet on it.

No one has the b@lls to say but its clear the Clintons have prevented Obama from taking ownership of the DEM party up to this point and as far as I am concerned they are slowly killing the future of America with their selfishness and Obama is lacking is taking tough leadership decisions at the DEM Party level.
Does McCain know the difference between COURAGE and WISDOM?

Biden would be a great candidate for the Republicans.

He's corrupt and dishonest, and will seal the deal for McCain.

No one wanted Biden when he ran for President... and he dropped out.

Why would they want him now as VP?

Biden has his strengths from Obama's perspective.

Biden's run for President twice ... there likely is ZERO baggage lurking with him.

A democrat would most likely succeed Biden in the Senate seat from Delaware.

Biden won't take no bull ____ t from the GOP. He'll make a good "bad" cop. That would play well in Appalachia.

Biden shores up the foriegn affairs element of the team.

Barack trusts that Biden's intentions are honorable.

That trust means that Barack can work with Biden as his final consigliere.

A good team ....

Tie in General Powell as an advisor of some sort and this is a winner from a competency perspective.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - –

Joe Biden doesn't deliver any particular electoral state or region but should play well in Pennsylvania, Virginia and parts of Ohio.

"NEVER have I seen a more repugnant and despicable UNdemocratic group of supporters- of either party- as the Cult of nasty worshippers that Obama has inspired to support him and secure his nomination"

hey phantom of the oprah (what a clever name), sorry we finally have somebody running for office that doesn't make us want to puke. "cult of nasty worshippers", what a joke... at least we haven't made an entire coalition of anti-hillary websites like you clowns did with obama. by the way, did i mention how clever your name is??

Oh well! Another bleeding heart Democratic hypocrite that Senator Nobama has managed to play for a sucker.

Stay tuned!

What!!?? This is sure going to put a damper on all my grandpa McCain jokes...

I am so sick of the negative comments made by Hillary supporters. Do you know you're the main reason so many of us have trouble warming up to Hillary? I feel the hate in your words.

Stop degrading Obama supporters. Many of us are highly educated. I have a graduate degree, and I have been voting since 1976 so I know a thing or two, also, about American democracy. All of us are committed to making sure our country doesn't continue down the wrong path, as it has for the last eight years.

Put away your misguided feminism and vote for the good of your country.

I can't wait for him to make this pick, so that my instinct about him will be proven correct. That America's flawed election process picked the wrong nominee, and that he is not the best candidate. The only way he is getting hillary's voters is to have her as his running mate, since it doesn't appear he is going to do that, then he won't get my vote or the vote of many other hillary supporters. Good Luck cheater

Biden is a very wise choice to manage the White House under the leadership of Obama. Biden is certainly the "anti-Cheney" who holds the title of the most creepy VP in modern times. The republicans don't have a pool of VP choices that Americans feel they can trust. It's time to have an open, and friendly White House that doesn't believe "honesty is the definition of weakness" as Bush and Cheney have shown. January 2009 can't come soon enough for me, because we need to show the international community that we can be trusted, and respected. Bush has caused our friendly allies to despise America, not to mention our political adversaries.

Biden is a big blow hard....anytime you see him on TV or C-Span, he's rambling on and on, enjoying hearing himself talk. He is in love with himself and brings NOTHING to the table for Obama (except some experience which Obama lacks).

Obama is not doing so well now in the polls because people are seeing him having to handle questions and he doesn't have a script in front of him.

HE IS TOO INEXPERIENCED TO BE PRESIDENT. He will lose in November and Hitlery will run in 2012 (and bring Bill along for the ride).

no clintons=dem. party awin
clintons = lose dem. party no win

Yes we believe Obama will win. God Bless America and protect us all. God Bless Obama.
Keep on the good work Obama attack forcefully those lies about you by senator McCainflip flopper. he can't win on the issues nor can he win only about wars rumour. So, Mccain wants to play on people's mind that Obama is risky-or scary. whereas Mccainflip floper is more riskier choice than anyone in the country because he has no position.

Mccainflip flopper has too many confusing positions on anything. that is rsiky. McCainflip flopper knows how to win wars, although no known war Mccainflip flopper have won.That is rsiky. Mcflip flopper dumped his wife for a rich woman that is rsiky. Mcflip flopper have too many ties with corrupt politicians and he is part of the failed economy. That is risky. Senator Mcflip flopper voted with George Bush 95% of the time, but yet he denied when this is worst now. So telly you the truth is very risky. Haven't mention all these risky activities about Mcflip flopper , people who still want to vote for Mcflip flopper is more riskier than Mcflip flopper. He can win if you do not vote for him, so you are more riskier than Mcflip flopper if you think he will fix thing better than Bush.
_____________________________________________________

I am responding to the last article about Richardson on ease with Hillary Clinton name place on ballot.

I am surprise that so many Hillary supporters do not like Obama even as Hillary campaign for him.

Both senators' presidential platform are 95% the same. Why don't them like Obama? I got it, because he is a black mix or he is democrats and those 18 million people that voted for Hillary not are all democrats.

There is no reason not to vote for a candidate that have the same plans as your failed candidate.
So people when writting your blog I hate Obama, state your reason so we will know why.

State if you are really a democrats, if you don't like black mix male, or you just love Hillary to death.

It is easy to criticize people what they do wrong, but when the ball is in your shoes you stumble and fall. If you are so perfect you may as well run for the Office. Obama have said manytimes that he is not a perfect person and he needs your help. He wants you to beleive that this Country can be as strong as it was 8 years agon when people have enough. He wants you to beleive that we can develope new energy , new cars that use less gas, that America can lead in new 21th technologies.

BIG MISTAKE...

Most Clinton supporters will simply write her name in...

Joe would be an excellent pick for VP. He'd be an excellent pick for P over McCain.

Go get 'em!

Obama/Biden '08!!!

Please god dont let it be Hillary!!!!!!!

Biden is a good choice,.... the presidency and if not the Veep order should have been Clark, Biden, Hillary, then it was a tie between Obama and Edwards.... I hate to say it, but Edwards completely let me down......... as I am sure he did many people.

Didn't Joe Biden support the NAACP's boycott of South Carolina? I am not 100% sure it was him but if it was, I do not want a VP who supports boycotting states and people business. If he was the one that supported it then that means he only cares about 49 states. I dont know any person in Goverenment that would support boycotting a state.

Biden would be an awesome choice! Too bad Edwards messed up though...

Why isn't Obama attacking "GENERAL McCAIN" for what he is....a War lover who thinks the whole world evolves around wars. Choosing Biden and having him say "War experience doesn't make you fit to run the US economy" would go a long way.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IS NOT AN AFRICAN AMERICAN CONVENTION. IT IS A CONVENTION FOR ALL. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS BULL. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA BUT NOT BECAUSE HE IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN. HE IS TOTALLY INEXPERIENCE AND I BELIEVE HAS NOT BEEN HONEST WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. HE IS VERY BIAS AGAINST SOME WOMEN – THAT REFLECTED IN THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

SO I ENCOURAGE YOU PEOPLE TO STOP WITH THE NONSENCE.

Great choice, I think Biden's credentials on Pakistan and Afghanistan can be used very well by Obama to help his image on the 'War on Terror' and to make an argument on how well he can manage foreign relations.

I do not think that Biden is tbe best choice in Obama wants a boast on his domestic credentials. The best choice for that would have to be Richardson.

Clarkedale, AR
I think Biden will be a poor choice for Obama, the only chane Obama had to salvage this election was with Hillary. I hope Biden can get answers for Obama on why he seeked out Ayers an unrepentant terrorist for his help and accepted fund raisers from him? How can any American vote for Obama after hearing this? Ayers freely admits he wishes he had done more to kill Americans.

I THOUGHT OBAMA'S ANSWERS SATURADAY HAD A LOT OF IFS , ANDS OR BUTS -NO FOR SURES

Great news! It will take less effort for the people of Delaware to get rid of him.

If Biden is chosen as VP, this will be the only decision Obama will have made to make me think twice about voting for Nader > Obama. Biden should have BEEN the presidential candidate, not the VP contender.

I think Sen. Biden would make an excellent choice for V.P., especially when the buzz for Sen. McCain's V.P. is a governor no one has ever hear of outside of his state (Pawlenty).

Please stop the speculation CNN and report the facts. I like Biden, too but it's all just speculation.

How about opening up comments on how mccain got the questions on the forum before he got there.

How the mcbush wouldn't or couldn't answer the questions but instead told war prisioners stories. And please report on the fact that he only just added that the one about him seeing two christians at the forum at the christian forum. He never mentioned them in the same story that he has told repeatedly, how convenient.

Good! The best news since Obama decided to run for president. Joe Biden is the perfect choice and the two would seem to be well suited for these roles. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, Let's get moving!

I say biden is a good choice but me being an independent i was hoping for chuck hagel, But Biden is good!!!!! AS LONG AS OBAMA WINS!!!!! NO MCCAIN NOT NOW NOT EVER!!!!!!!!!!

I think Obama would be fool if he doesn't pick Joe Biden and Barack is no fool. He's got the foreign policy chops and he isn't boring like some of the other names floating around out there. He can also be an effective attack dog doing the more aggressive rebuttals to the Republican smear machine as well as doing well in V.P. debates. He had the funniest line of the Primary season, "noun, verb and 9/11" and he can think quickly, if not always perfectly on his feet. He is the strongest in the field.
Little Rock, AR

Biden is a windbag whose solution to the Iraq violence is to break the country up into pieces. I think he is a poor choice and would sink the ticket .

Well if this is true, Obama has just lost a key demographic for him to win in November: women over 40 who supported Hillary will consider a choice of a white guy who received no votes as the final "slap in the face" to women, who supported Hillary's historic candidacy. If the situation were reversed and Hillary had won by only a handful of delegates, Obama had received 18 million votes, and then she selected an unknown white male as VP instead of Obama, African Americans would be in the streets protesting in Denver and the Democratic party would come apart at the seams. Women may not be in the streets in November but many won't be voting for Obama/White Guy in November either.

In my opinion Senator, Obama should pick Senator Biden,
He'll make a good Vice president, also God forbid, (my prayers is with him always) anything happen to Obama, he is ready to command. He is also strong in foreign afairs, and should shut up McCain.

Hillary would be a big mistake, I'm sorry to say that, in so many ways–one her negative is too high–two her husband(they say a president always is is president) and you can not give your opponent anything to interfere with Obama policies. –three Clinton adultery in the oval office, it will be a reminder, and some of us we don't want to be reminded, I have more but let stop there.

It would be a mistake for Obama to have a running mate more qualified for President that he is.

Sweet. Though, Obama could pick anyone and win because when he and McCain debate side by side you will see how much of a better pres. Obama will be then Grumpy McOil. The difference will be impossible to ignore and McCain can do nothing about it but lose another election!!! HA

Joe Biden would have made a great president. I think he'll make a superb VP – an anti-Cheny, if you will...

HEY, "18,000,000 plus the disenfranchised"!

Do you know how to get anything fixed in this country! ... do you? no?!...

Then support someone,run for office yourself, or SHUT UP!

Complaints and endless criticisms do nothing to fix the problems we all face, unless they are coupled with possible solutions.

Think about solutions before you just idiotically pop off at the mouth!

Rose CNN–WHY is the story about McCain's deceit in the Saddleback Forum not opened up to comments????Why is the sky BLUE??? 5 Articles on Sunday Move On .....Crowley had 3 Articles or More

I would be happy with Biden. He's the only one who can, and WILL , chew McCain up and spit him out!

Why was McCain allowed to give his rehearsed, and recycled stump speech on Sat. nite, but Warren told Obama NOT to give his??? The whole thing smells...

The right choice, by my estimates.

Someone give Biden a big yellow hat....

I will not vote for Obama and Biden,I am a dem. never voted for a rep.but it looks like this time I will...MCcain o8 you have my vote and all my family and friends,I thank Texas will go for MCcain all the way

Isn't Biden one of the senators that got a sweetheart mortgage deal from Countrywide Home Loans? I would think Obama's team would pick someone "squeaky clean".

To all of you hillary fanaddicts out there, I have just one question:

You would really waste the greatest right and privelege we hold as Americans-our right to vote- on a write in for hillary and risk the republican idiot machine to stay in place just because you enjoy hearing yourselves whine about Hillary?? She lost. get over it. Be mature and use your vote properly.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You Hillary supporters better grow up and not screw this up for the rest of the country. I know it sucks to lose, but get over it.

Get behind Obama and get rid of the republicans!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden...YES WE CAN! We love you Barack. NOONE will steal this election from you....NOT THIS YEAR...NOT THIS ELECTION....YES WE CAN!

I AGREE. I'M A HILLARY SUPPORTER ALSO. NOW I SUPPORT OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. BEING STUPID ABOUT VOTING FOR MCCAIN WILL BE A BIG MISTAKE. I DON'T BELIEVE HILLARY IS GONNA PAY MY BILLS BY VOTING ANOTHER REPUBLIC IN THE OVAL HOUSE. BE SENSIBLE HILLARY SUPPORTERS, OR MAYBE YOU CAN AFFORD ANOTHER REPUBLIC PRESIDENT, I CAN'T. SO PLEASE SET ASIDE UR SELFISHNESS AND HAVE A FORGIVING HEART. OTHER PEOPLE LIVELIHOOD ARE AT STAKE.

OBAMA 2008!!!

Biden will be an excellent VP I can not wait for the convention to see a united party and to hear who are next President and Vice President will be... If anyone watch the debate (not so much of debate) but the CNN special with McCain and Obama this weekend it only make me feel better for my choice of President – Obama... McSame gets excited about the prospect of war and he sat there and stated that basically he will choose judges that will reverse Roe Vs. Wade .... wake up don't get scared into voting Repug.... to much instake! Obama & Biden 08

Biden would be a great VP as would many others. None would be as big liar as McCain, who knew questions in advance for the religious forum and implied clearly that he did not when asked. Everyone loved his short answers that his advIsors handed to him in advance! Plus he made up the cross in the dirt story. McCain is a fake! McCain is a fake Christian, McCain is a fake hero, MCCain is a fake person, MCCAIN IS A FAKE.!

I've wanted this from the beginning! He's the perfect choice!!! Even if he's taking a "strip to Georgia."

Joe Biden as VP pick is the only reason I'll vote for Obama. My first choice was Biden because of his honesty, wisdom, and voting record. Hillary would have been acceptable too, but only with Biden as VP. He won't tolerate duplicity, political pandering and even his slight tendency to deviate from the "script" is refreshing and long over due in our political system. The man is of sterling character, strength and has a grasp of foriegn affairs that is unequaled. BIDEN ALL THE WAY!

People who pretend to be Hllary supporter are really closet republicans, trying to cause uproar in democratic party. Hillary will have to realize that she LOST. So she and her big mouth Husband needs to go away forever ( take Monica too if that helps). I am tired of this couple.

Jobama

While I do like Senator Biden, this only serves to prove that you DO need at least one old white guy on your ticket to win in November. McCain will most likely have two unless Condi feels like continuing on with this administration's insanity.

All those "supposed" Clinton supports are moral hypocrites and idiots if they plan to write in Hiliary or vote McCain. If you do then I hope he wins and messes up this country some more, so I could see who you blame. Hillary would energize the Republicans and she would lose PERIOD. Her and her dirt bag husband are a black stain on the democratic party.

Also – Our founding fathers were liberals and if you dont believe me do some freaken research.

Clinton and McCain both have NO experience as commander an chief either. You dont get this until you are president.

I THINK, OBAMA HAS TO PIC UP CLINTON FORM VP.

Anyone named Joe has MY vote!

CNN, can you report more on the cheating McCain performed at Warren's forum. Can you do an inquiry to know if it is true that McCain was on a cell phone the whole time he was in his car. Was Warren involved in the cover-up (which would not be surprising) or was he really unaware McCain was not in the cone of silence. Please, some serious reporting here. We knew McCain is confused, low-road, unable to come up with any solution, but a plain liar?

Silly people Hillary will neeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr be president!!!!! Its Barack all the way babe! Mcaine aint got nothing on Obama! Aaaannnddd Biden is a great choice for Obama's Running mate.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 & 2012

I admire Senator Biden for his toughness. He will make a great VP.

Note: My fellow Obama supporters please stop agitating the Hillary supporters by saying things like, "get over it." In two weeks all the "Hillary could still get the nomination" or "Obama is just the presumptive nominee" nonsense will be over. Party unity is our goal. Leave these people alone with their short-lived delusions. They are upset, it is understandable. Concentrate on getting new voters.

Vice Presidential candidates will have no effect on this election. Democrats have a flagrantly flawed candidate and they keep looking for ways to improve his image. They need at least 10 years and some major therapy for him. Hurry up and crown him in Denver and see what will happen thereafter.

Crooksandlers, are you kidding? BARACK OBAMA 08......
INTEGRITY!
INTELLIGENCE!
HONESTY!

Mr. BO changes his 'tune' and his mind as often as Elizabeth Taylor changed husbands. Mr.BO stands for nothing except what he can pull over on the voters. Name an accomplishment. Name a position he takes on any issue. With his style he would be much more qualified to run for student body president. He scares me to death!!!

This weekend I saw Obama new TV ad and it had at the end Barrack Obama President. He thinks he won already.

Obama-Biden, sound too much like Osama-Bin Laden. Same difference. Nobama has terroist ties and Biden is a plagiarist. Go ahead Nobama, pick him. Make our day!

I like Biden and think he would be a good pick for vp overall. He would be a formidable attack dog for Obama, especially on national security. He's a sharp debater that seems to have improved on his earlier tendency to be a blowhardish wind bag. Another point in his favor that is lesser known is that he gives one of the best stump speeches around, compared to Bayh, who gives one of the worst. One could envision a 1-2 Biden-Obama rhetorical punch at the convention that would really get the emotional juices flowing for the home stretch run.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS,you are so RIGHT(NOMcSAME) this was such a sham by Rick Warren that DEVIL, But God sees all and hears all.
So just sit back and watch God work..They will all have to answer to their EVIL DURING. Just as Sen. Obama stated God is in Everything, and he will handle it just watch and see. We who knows that this is all in Gods hands, we may not call ourselves (evan-glee-shams) but they will find that God made each and everyone of us no matter what color of faith we process. I think that more people saw what a SHAM of tricknology was played on Saturday night by Rick Warren and John Mccain. But I felt the overall people in the forum was very nice and polite towards Sen. Obama.
Sen. Obama 08/16

i like biden he will be a great choice i still wish hillary was the vp choice and make biden sec of state but i am a huge fan of sen obama obama 08

Yeah... that's it!! "All the great Democratic leaders must have turned Barack Obama down." That is the LEAST INFORMED, LEAST FACTUAL STATEMENT, LEAST INTELLIGENT STATEMENT regarding Obama's VP search. Which great leaders did you specifically were you talking about?? Care to name a few, or are you just spewing lame statements with no factual evidence to back it up.

Biden is currently one of the greatest Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill... and definitely MORE experienced in foreign policy than McCain or his choice for VP EVER will be. THAT is more than likely one of the deciding factors to make Biden his VP choice.

Our nation's current foreign policy is a train wreck, thanks to GWB and gang... it's time to restore our nation's glory BACK to what it was before GWB made our foreign policy the laughing stock of the world.

None...Verb....POW. The POW pandering is beyong the pale.

Biden would be perfect! The guy is a fighter! Come on Dems, let's bring back intelligence to the White House!

I'm a republican who already voted for Barack Obama in the primaries here. BUT, if he comes out with either Hillary or Joe Biden as his running made, I am definitely jumping ship back over to McCain.

Crooksandlers, are you kidding?BARACK OBAMA 2008
INTEGRITY!
INTELLIGENCE!
HONESTY!

While leaning toward Sen. Obama as my choice in november, if he picks Joe Biden as his V.P. running mate, he will definately have my vote!

hillary who in 2012?

These die hard & bitter hanger on'ers remind me of the "clingon" ex girlfriend type who won't stop calling and/or showing up at your known hang outs even though you broke up with them months ago....

The whole world is already way beyond over it – when will you be?

I think that Joe Biden would be an excellent choice for VP.

As for Sen. McCain possibly hearing some of the questions asked at the forum on Saturday I felt like he gave some of his answers too quickly as if he knew what was going to be asked. That just screams Karl Rove!

Just like I predicted that Obama would run (successfully) for the Presidency in 2008 (and he will) after hearing him speak at the 2004 Democratic Convention....I also have predicted that Biden would be Obama's running mate.

We are ready for Change and lets face it.....Biden shows strength where Obama is perceived to be weak (and that is just the GOP and the Media talking)....and vise versa.

Obama/Biden '08

This is great news! Joe Biden is just what the ticket needs. GO OBAMA!

I would be thrilled with Biden. A Democrat who voted FOR the war in Iraq. Go, Joe, GO.

Obama could pick a ham sandwich as his running mate and I'd still vote for him over any republican.

Oh YES!!!! I love Biden!!!! Great Pick!!!! My man, Biden, doesn't take no BS, if you know what I mean. He'll run circles around McSame.

Give up HRC supporters. It's NOT going to happen. Get over it already.

Obama/Biden, 2008

Horrendous choice – NO CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.
Bill Richardson for VP or Bust!

I hope it is Biden. He won't take any of the Republican smears, lies and intimidation.

Is CNN afraid that McCain will want to have a talk with you as he does with NBC for outing him and Warren for the lie that he was in the "cone of silence"? They both broke the rules period.
Disgraceful that no comments were allowed for this blog!! Shame on you!

I like Biden, but I was hoping he would not select a member of the Senate, as the Dems will have the advantage of a majority rule in the House. I prefer a Governor, but, as long as it is not Hillary, I do not care

Joe Biden makes me want to shower in burning gasoline. Talk about the master of slime. If Obama really snubs half the voting party to pick someone other than Hillary, I will join the McCain camp and spend the balance of the season working a battleground state for him.

Plain and simple.

I think Joe Biden would be a great choice because he has foreign relations ties and he is a well known senator, Although I wish barack would pick hillary I don't think it will happen. I say OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Any Hillary supporter that won't vote for Obama yet thinks Hillary would have a chance in 2012 is dilusional. I would have voted for Hillary had she won the nomination this year.

The way she has turned her supporters into an angry mob, however, makes me realize that her whole presidency would just be about partisan anger, much like the last 10 years.

WHATEVER CHOICE OBAMA MAKE WILL BE HONORED.

CLINTON'S SUPPORTER.

I BELIEVE IN KEEPING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TOGETHER.

OBAMA HAS MY VOTE! HE IS THE BEST CHOICE!

Better be Hillary Clinton for VP, or else I am going for Mccain.

Obama/Clinton 2008........or McCain 2008!!!!!

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

People like you are beyond help. There is an article on Huffington where Clinton's former chief of staff Panetta discusses how some of Hillary Clinton's supporters' sense of entitlement seems "inbred". I see what he is talking about. Joe Biden was accused of that 20 years ago. However, most of you are willing to vote for a man who cheated on and left his disable wife for a younger rich woman, and whose mother sued her disabled daughter in law for approximately $3,000.00 worth of crap. Really insightful of you.

I loooove Joe Biden, but he has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth (even though I typically agree 100% with everything he's saying). If not VP, I'd love to see him as Secretary of State.

Biden's cool...works for me!!

Good choice, hope to hear the news soon!

(:I think Obama is going to choose Clinton as his running mate:)

For the good of our Country he is a wise choice on anybody's list for the VP position. The Republicans and others should take special note of this highly qualified individual, especially in foreign affairs.

I agree that Biden is strong on foreign policy, and so would he be as Secretary of State. Imagine who you'd want for president if something happened to Obama – it's more than just foreign policy, plus he doesn't bring any battle ground states with him. Bayh may seem relatively unknown, and sort of vanilla, but they really love him in Indiana.

I am still a little bitter about the Hillary thing, but I always said if he picked Biden he could redeem himself in my eyes. Not that he cares;)

"quickly-planned strip"

I was very supportive of Joe Biden during his primary campaign. Most people just didn't respond well to how direct/blunt he is, but that is a quality I like very much. I have been hoping for weeks that Biden would be the VP. We gotta get rid of these Republican clowns in the WH and hopefully get this country turned around.

Obama needs Biden as VP. Since Obama has zero security or international experience, he needs a VP and a strong cabinet who can tell Obama what to do in crisis situations like in Russia/Georgia.

Obama needs a VP that can be his mentor and teach him how to run foreign affairs and how to protect this country.

Biden is a good pick for Obama.

Senator Biden would be a good choice for VP.

A United Democratic Party can win in November; with or without Hillary and her bigots.

Is Obama selling out to the man who said Obama is "articulate"? What an insult.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biden IS the "Straight Talk Express". That quality is what attracts some people to McCain, but Biden gives McCain a run for his money.

Biden, Biden, Biden!!!!

Oh great... Imagine what kinds of bumper stickers and slogans the ignorant and childish among Republicans will use against a ticket with the names Obama and Biden. Obama doesn't have a chance without Hillary at his side. The Dems are preparing to shoot themselves in the foot once again. If the Dems don't win this time, they should disband and form completely new parties.

I would be very happy with this! Biden is a no nonsense guy just like Barack. Plus, I would get to tell everyone I told you so since I have been saying this would be a great team since day one! : )

Good choice, but I wish that he would have tried to entice former senator, and ex-Navy SEAL (a real war hero with the congressional medal of honor to prove it)Bob Kerry out of retirement.

I'd like to see them try to swift boat him!!!

Oh,great choice.Two fools,Nobama & the liar.And you people wonder why Nobama will get smoked in November.

Biden would be an outstanding choice. Thoughtful, intelligent, willing to say what he thinks, and tremendous experience. Obama / Biden - excellent leadership for this country!

Obama, look no farther, we have your man Sen. Joe Biden. Presidential canidate in his own rights. He just didn't get out of the gate right. But the man is ooozing with experience. One that I believe
won't mine, and rather relish in doing the "down under" work that's required of a VP. This should satisfy the "Experience" part of the ticket. Although Obama can hold his own in foreign matters.

If this country put ignorant idiots back into office. We are down the tubes. Our country will have finally reached a point of being morally and socially bankrupt.

Just because SHE didn't win. Come on. You need to get over it or your just as ignorant as them.

Pittsburgh

Biden? Joe Biden? Is he still around? I thought he retired and opened up a surf shop with John Kerry.

The great plagiarist! So much for changing the direction of this country.

I think without Hillary, Obama cannot win. There was too much animosity generated by the primary process, and party unity will be essential to beat McCain. Symbolic unity is not enough to unite the party.

Please, please, Obama, we know you think you know it all, but in this case, you need to listen. We cannot afford four more years of a Republican president. McCain is a bigger threat than you realize.

Great choice – Either Biden or Richardson for strengthed foreign policy experience. Obama is so much brighter than McCain. Barack will do great in foreign policies. HE HAS IT ALL – ALL THAT IT TAKES TO BE THE BEST PRESIDENT IN MANY, MANY YEARS.

AN INSIDER TO THE OBAMA CAMP TOLD ME THAT IT WILL BE JOE BIDEN ON FRIDAY IS THE ANOUNCEMENT.

funny, no matter where they can, the libs cry 'FOUL' when obama demonstrates for the first time, in an arena where he much speak without a teleprompter, that his depth of knowledge is that of a thimble. It could never be that the media's messiah might not be as well versed as McCain – it has to be CHEATING!

Any VP is better than the we have.

He would be an an excellent choice. He has the gravitas needed and would surely wipe the floor w/ any selection made by McCain. I would have preferred Hillary at the top of the ticket w/ Obama as her # 2, but Biden is actually the most qualified of any of the also-rans, more so than Edwards, who lately has not been able to keep his pants on. There goes that Attorney General nomination.

That will be a good choice.

I am so bitter that Hillary didnt win the nomination i'll either vote for McCain or write in Hillary! BIDEN IS NOT HILLARY!!!

GET THAT SHORE BIRD INTO THE VP SLOT!!!!!!!!!!! couldnt be happier

Joe would make a phenomenal VP! With his experience and level-headedness he would bring a great balance to Obama. I hope it happens! KP in Ohio.

The great plagiarist. So much for changing directions in this country.

I still say go with Kerry...that would be awesome.

And that Forum WAS a joke, something is not right about McCain's answers. Regardless, Obama came across WAY more honest than his opponent anyway.

Excellent choice..............................for McCain's election!

This will be find by me because will have us in another
war and with china.Biden,would make a good VP can't
go wrong.Kaine will be a choice as well,and maybe Biden
Secty of State

Joe Biden as VP would be a great (probably the best) choice for Obama to make. It's obvious that someone with his background is needed to round out the ticket so hopefully it's a "win win" situation for all of us!

what about change?? he is an old guy being in office for a long long time...

Rob

Joe Biden is perfect. great ticket!!

Biden would make a great VP. He and Obama have good chemistry. Biden helps Obama with foreign policy and national security creds. Good choice and sure winner!

This Would Be A Great Choice And Be A Sure Victory Come November!

I like Biden. He's sharp, unafraid to speak his mind, and when it comes to foreign policy, he knows what he's talking about.

" Rudy Giuliani. There's only three things he mentions in a sentence - a noun, a verb, and 9/11. "

Dems '08

I am one of those people that had Biden for a first choice for Pres.but never an Obama no matter who he picks. We need a Biden on both tickets. But Obama won't pick him because I don't believe that Biden will be a "YES man" and bow down to Obama. What he wants is someone that won't rock is ego or call him down when needed. And what America needs if he is elected is someone that can keep a thumb on him but it will never happen.

I love how Obama is all about change, but is considering bringing in one of the oldest career politicians as his wing man. Hypocrit?

I THINK OBAMA SHOULD CONSIDER BIDEN AS HIS VP .
MACAIN THINK GOING TO WAR TO KILL PEOPLE WILL SOLVE
PROBLEMS AROUND THE WORLD. BUSH & MACIAN HAS MESS
UP THIS COUNTRY AND ONLY OBAMA WILL BRING CHANGE TO
THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.

So, Erin...In fact and deed, you'll be voting for McCain with your write in ballot for Sen. Clinton.

Love Biden! He doesn't take any crap from conservatives. During the Hill hearing years ago, he told Orin Hatch that he would allow just one more question then he was going to "shut him off". The way he said it through clinched teeth – just what we need in this country to tell the Republicans that they've had 14 years of controll and have messed it up big time...time for the Democrats to take over with a veto proof majority and clean house and get this country back to where it should be!

NEWS BULLENTIN FOR HILLARY SUPPORTERS !!!!!

This is the best choice for you guys because if Barack wins and wins again in 2012 Joe Biden willl be 76 yrs old and will mostlikely not run for president at that age giving Hillary a clear shot at 68yrs old which is younger than McCain. !!!!

Hey Erin...Go ahead and write in Hillary for President. You'll just get McCain you fool.

Biden is a good choice for VP. Also, I agree with Abby, after watching the forum (before even knowing that McCain had been late) I wondered if he had overheard Obama. Especially when he did not even think about his answer and yelled General Petraeus. Also, when discussing abortions he wanted to talk about the judges. I feel he and his advisors cheated. Wouldn't that be a surprise!

This guy seems to know allot and even thought about supporting him but I almost thought that he was kind of a racist. I

I like Biden. I hope he chooses him as the VP. Good sharp personality contrast between Obama and Biden. Yet same basic ideals. Should strike the right balance.

I'm still saying Evan Bayh.

Senator Biden won't appease the Hillary supporters and Delaware was already in the Democratic column so not a lot would be gained from this pick. Good man though. Anxious to see who the Dems do choose and then who the Repubs check-mate with. Getting down to the nitty-gritty.

No No No!!!! Take Kaine.
Please!

McCain/08

Someone has to make BO look capable.

Hillary has way more foreign war experience. she brokered peace treaties and made countires sign terms of surrender. She has served the nation on the battlefronts and survive Yugolavia. She is the Winston Churchill and Mikail Gorbachev of our era...

My pick for Obama's VP would be Mr Richardson from New Mexico. I really think this would be his best choice. We (Democrats) have got to ensure a win in November (We won in 2000 and 2004). We must figure out where the Republicans are going to cheat this time around and try to stop them.

If anyone thinks that Hillary has a snowballs chance in November to win the presidential election, I think you'll be sadly disappointed.

There is no way that she'll win the general election...there are just too many strong emotions people have AGAINST her.

If folks want this country to remain on the same track as in the last 8 years...then so be it.

NO HILLARY

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Joe all the way.

My first choice for VP! Smartest choice he can make, I hope he goes for it with Biden.

Hillary supporters, grow up. Be smart and vote for the lesser of two evils if that's all you can see. It only shows ignorance not to back up the candidate (Obama) with the ideals closest to your former pick (Clinton) just because you're mad and sore losers. Let's get on with it.

Democrats '08

Obama and Biden. Perfect pair to win the White House.

It doesn't matter who NObama picks – he isn't going to win in November. During the Presidential Forum on Saturday, NObama once again showed how ill prepared he is to be POTUS. Without a teleprompter and canned speech he is lost out on his own (much like the last guy who learned on the job).

I guess I don't know much about this gentleman. I hope that we can get the facts and not just opinions about Mr. Biden. I tire of opinions. If selected, I hope that Senator Biden can add to Mr. Obama's chances of getting elected. This country needs a political enema. We have experienced years of corruption at all levels of government This behavior has prevented us from progressing as a nation. I can't understand why people are so reluctant to change. Especially when change is so needed.

Biden. I hope he is the choice. He is one of my favorite politicians. He has the experience that Obama needs. And the VP debates would be fun. He's a straight shooter.

Biden was always one of my early favorites in the campaign. I admire his straight-talk approach that many Americans seemed to like about Dubya, but unlike Dubya, Biden has the experience and intelligence to back it up.

I think that he'd be the perfect VP pick. While I think that Obama would do well with any of the others, the repubs would pick apart the ticket if Obama would choose someone without years of experience.

GObama '08

RIGHT CHOICE

OBAMA/BIDEN O8

Dissapointing to say the least. I still will either write in Clinton or just not vote!
Where are the really good candidates? Sorry group for this election, extremely bad move on the part of the DNC.

Joe Biden would be a good choice. If McCain would just pick Lieberman, the race would be in the bag for the Dems.

While I think Hillary might be the best choice to bring the party together, so long as we dont have another 4 years of McSame, I am happy!

Biden is a great choice for VP. Actually he was my forst choice for President. Solid as a rock, he will effectively give Obama the Foreign Policy credibility that he lacks.

GO BIDEN, I LOVE YOU

Tim is a nice guy and good at his current job, but he has no foreign policy experience. Obama has no foreign policy experience and he and Tim Kaine would be picked apart.

grow up, erin. there are never any good choices, hillary included. the choice is between a clear continuation of the disastrous bush policies and something different. unknown to a certain extent, but not the (mc)same. writing in hillary is not only a waste of your vote (and don't try to spin the "principle" argument – politics is not about principles), but helps mccain.

grow up.

Erin- I agree. I am a delawarian and though I would love to vote for Biden, I will be writing Hillary in this year.
Biden has done a wonderful job in this state for years, but the fact still remains that Obama has no experience and barely any experience at the Senate level. Wartime is not the time to put a rookie in. He seems like a nice guy with a lot of good ideas (some I don't agree with), but the change he is looking for is going to take more than one man. The Congress will eat this man alive and send him back with his tail between his legs.

Still won't get my vote– only way I'll vote for Obama is if Hillary Clinton is on the ticket too. Otherwise, I just won't vote. Yeah, I know that's like "not responsible", but that's the way it is. I think Obama is just a nice face in a nice suit.... as the Texans say, "All hat, no cattle."

The DNC has made a mess of this whole process. The Democrats could have been guaranteed a landslide victory in November if they had just let the primary process work itself out legitimately. Instead, they felt the need to bow to Obama from the get-go, to screw around with the FL & MI primaries, and to publicly disrespect Hillary Clinton. Guess the good ol' boys forgot that about half those voters out there were actually women. What's the line??? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? Well, they'll find out in November. BTW, the DNC needs to 86 Howard Dean asap. The guy is a total idiot.

Why don't you people lay off the Hillary crap? You are obviously either Republicans or, to put it kindly, "low information voters."

She lost. Get on with your otherwise empty lives.

Biden, fantastic! He's sharp, he has tons of experience, great judgment, a fighter, he's witty, he'll take McCain and his right wing war mongerers down with his left pinky. I hope it's true.

Erin, "writing in Hillary" means a Supreme Court staffed by Right Wingers for decades. If you liked Hillary's policies, Obama's the only choice for you.

What state will this Delaware resident bring to Obama's column?

Now there is the new look- not white, not male, not old, not a washington insider. Finally.... the change is here... HE looks much different than the men on my money.

But HRC- SHE was the same old washington insider.

With hypocrisy and irrational thinking like that- who needs good judgement?

Certainly not the messiah Obama.

Angie in Dallas – I agree. Biden was my first choice for President also. I would be very happy to have him as Obama's VEEP candidate.
GO JOE!!!!

i still like clark

The Georgia president requested his visit?? Wow, thats way more impressive than McCain's sending his lackeys there for political games. I'd be happy with Biden, but I perfer Hagel.

Either way, Obama will win.

Vice President Biden will be such a breath of fresh air after 8 years of Sata... errr... Cheney.

I will not vote for Obama nor McCain, yet will still vote.
But if McCain chooses Ridge, I WILL vote for Obama. This madness has to stop sometime.

Interesting predictions for 2012. The Mayans had some too, as I recall.
The nice thing about predictions is their errancy.

Obama selection of Biden would not be the best choice, but the wisest one. Biden can fill in the void of weakness of foreign policy for Obama. And as far as the comment for NotFallingline.org......Hillary's potential in 2012........she will be as historical as McCain......time is the greatest thief........remember......she will be about 69......3 years shy of what McCain is now.

You PUMA people are really pathetic, you know that? Biden has MUCH more experience than Hillary so if that's the basis for your reason for supporting her, you should be happy to have Biden on the ticket. But we all know that's not the real reason. PUMA's are a weird, dangerously obsessive cult of personality.

This would be a good VP pick!

Joe Biden would be an excellent choice. When it comes to foreign affairs, there is no one more knowledgable on either side of the aisle. Plus, he knows John Mcain very well and all his weaknesses (and there are many!). Biden will stand toe to toe with the Repugs in the campaign and effectively counterpunch every negative attack.

He better do something after that rediculous showing the other night... avoid all questions at all costs is not a good policy for the POTUS...

Joe Biden is a good choice and you explained why write in Hillary
name make no sense to me. But that is your right but if things do not get better under McCain than you Hillary supporters will have her to blamed

For Christ's sake, all these whiny Hillary fans need to get over it. She lost. It's over. Now the country needs a democrat in office to repair all the damage inflicted on the United States - and the world, for that matter - by Bush and Cheney.
Just suck it up and be a decent American. Do your part: Vote Democrat.

Who cares? Obama will be finished after the debates. He proved that again by stuttering his way through the answers on Saturday. He is lost without a pre-written speech on the teleprompter.

McCain '08 for Hillary '12

Nothing like a solid Dem from the Northeast to expand the voter base for BOB. Should be entertaining but the Dems will definitely have to tone down their hysteria when McCain mis-speaks b/c Biden has a long history of spouting "interesting" sound bites.

Right man for the job!
Joseph Biden

Biden is perfectly capable of being President (which is much more than I could say about the disaster that is Barak Obama). He will talk/bore us to death, but he can do the job. He will also completely outshine the main candidate, which will not be a good think. Same with Evan Bayh. Doesn't really matter. Look at the demographics of the country 1988, 1992, 1996 (kind of an off year...), 2000, and especially 2004. Elections are decided by the right of center voters, not the left wing crazies or the right wing nut jobs. Obama doesn't have a snow ball's chance in hell of being elected. The left wing media might love him, but the country does not, and that is already showing in his continually slipping polls. (And they hated Hillary even more, which is why they are left with Obama in the first place)

McCain might be next to worthless, but he will be a shoe in on election day.

Biden has the wrong foreign policy experience. He voted to authorize the mess in Iraq. Biden is also a shill for the credit industry.

Yes, yes, YES! Joe Biden is the MAN. Foreign policy experience, gravitas, the wisdom that comes with years...he's the ideal running mate for Barack Obama. Go, Joe, GO!

And by the way, who are these moron Hillary supporters making the same old gripey comments here? She lost and you lost, so shut the hell up and accept that the Era of the Clintons is finally OVER, thank God. You want McSame to win, cut off your nose to spite your face? Good – then keep running your mouths about how awful and unjust it was Billary didn't get the nomination. WHATEVER.

At least he is not a washington insider like Hillary.

And I love the way he put heart and soul into championing a UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PLAN for all Americans.

Finally a new look- dollar bill, anyone?- to our democratic and national leadership.

Way to go, Obama.

Yes, newbies, that is irony and sarcasm. I am NOT praising your Obamagod.

We should be well satisfied with Joe Biden. He was the top debater during his short stint in the primaries. He's a walking encycolpedia when it comes to foreign policy and he's well respected in the Senate.

Biden would be a good choice. He is definitely not as polarizing as Hillary Clinton. He brings a great deal to the table and is well respected. He could hold his own in any debate with any choice of runnig mate for John McCain. As an individual who voted for Hillary in the primaries, I feel she would be the worst possible choice for Obama. She and the PUMAs have begun to look like people who only care for themselves and not this country. There would be so much baggages with her that it would hand the election to McCain.

I surely hope so... Although... Biden would've been an amazing Secretary of State.

However, Biden will skewer ANY VP candidate that John McCain can dish up – and the result will be glorious.

The top six Democratic candidates: Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Biden, Dodd, and Richardson were all better choices than McCain or anyone else the Republicans offered. Biden would be an excellent choice as would any of the other leading candidates, save Edwards (and only because his scandal killed his political career).

I also like Kaine but he would be more of a gamble. With Biden you know what you're getting. He would be a great attack dog (remember "a noun, a verb, and 9/11") and has an extremely accomplished record of service in the Senate.

The problem with Republicans is that they DO consider themselves to be in the pay grade to act like God and determine for others what they consider to be the best decision. I prefer someone who listens to others and recognizes that he should NOT play God!

I thought people chose the democratic party platform because of thier ideals,not because of a person who feels they are entitled to a throne.Many people call Richardson a traitor,I just hope you grab that title for your selves when you vote against your party,ideals,and best interest.It should not matter who the v.p. is,as long as you share the ideas with the party.The democratic party is supposed to be accepting of all who share thier platform.

thats really a good choice considering he brought in less than 1% of the vote in the primaries... Obama is really listening to the people... signs of how if presidency will be...

Biden,

My goodnes, – BIden the friend of Hugo Chavez – This will definetly affect in a negative way.

get over yourselves. hillary is gone for 2008. Quit trying to make it an issue, because frankly everyone is sick of hearing her die hard supporters complain. Democracy chose Obama as the nominee, so let it play. Quit being sore losers.

This is great news. Sen Biden is the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in the 110th Congress. He will be a great addition to Obamas white house run.

Personally, I like Biden because he tells it like it is...unlike some other people who claim to "straight talk."

Go ahead write in Hillary and kiss Roe v Wade goodbye. PUMAs for Back to 1972!

Biden would be an excellent choice. You Clinton supporters had better wake up and start smelling the coffee! Do you really want to see John McCain in the White House???

People thinking McCain has an advantage over Obama on foreign policy are only fooling themselves. The problem is if the Obama campaign points out these facts they will be accused of being unpatriotic and we all know people gobble that line up hook line and sinker.

McCain surrendered and spent 5 years as a P.O.W. so what! He is an out of touch remnant from decades gone by and is now on the verge of senility.

Let's face it taking a trip to Iraq and then lying to Americans on how safe it is there that you could stroll to the market is just as rotten a lie as those told by the Bush administration to suck everyone into backing the invasion and killing 100's of thousands of innocent men, women and children. Grow up America it's time everyone opened their eyes.

I think he will be a great VP.

Democrates not falling in line will get just what they deserve. And if Obama somehow loses, I hope the next 4 years of McCain hits them the hardest. And for Hillary – you think we will forget what you are doing this year?? Just wait my little pretties, just wait!!

Thank God... for a minute I thought we might end up with another good ole white man washington insider....

I mean what speaks of freshness and change better than an old white male democrat?

1 week late Obama... Mac already sent 2 to Georgia.

But way to follow exactly what he does yet again.

If Saturday night was any indication... The choice for POTUS got a lot simpler for me. Can't believe there was any debate in my mind.

How can anyone even vote for a divider... He says he wants unity, but the fact is even Saturday he said things that divide. He wasn't straight with his answers and left so much of his answers vague trying to appease everyone.

Obama's talk is all about the polls...
McCain's talk is all about America...

Voting McCain this year...

I think Biden would make a great choice for VP. He has a strong background in foreign policy and it is a direct and intelligent person. It is just what Obama needs.

People get over it! Hillary isn't winning! The woman's movement has been sent back 10 years due to all the whinning an complaining they are doing. How is someone suppose to take you seriously when you appear to be pouting and crying?

This should be interesting...I was hoping for Bayh, but Joe Biden is still a good pick.

I sooooo hope it's Biden! Talk about a straight talker and a perfect complement to Obama.

I suppose this old white guy does NOT represent the same old wahington where good ideas go to die. Or Kerry or Ted.

But HRC- with her brilliant UNIVERSAL Health care plan- DID?

Apparently, She was just the same as all those other centrist populist middle aged white women chock full of intelligence and experience who have dominated the presidency for too long.

Who are these smart, educated voters who think this poorly and illogically?

these comments are funny...

the guy has more qualifications to be President if something happened to ewither of the candidates than anyone...

He also has gotten more accomplished in congress in the past year with a broken system...than anyone...

and he wrote a prescient OP ed with Dick Lugar about the Russia Georgia thing that shows how to talk about the conflict unlike John mcCain's stupidly aggressive and ignorant sabre rattling that made the situation worse and he had handed to him from randy Scheunneman ...the lobbyist for a government that was warned by people like Joe Biden to stop the heated actions they were taking... because exactly this might happen.

Please people read what's going on .. whether you think he talks too much or not....Joe Biden is the guy we want as anyone's right hand man in the White House.

Clinton will never see the nomination.

If Obama loses, the party will blame Clinton and her name will be mud.

If Obama wins, the next nomination will be 2016 and most likely, she will be old news.

Clinton has done this to herself with her scorched earth primary campaign policy.

Even at a time when every Democrat should be banding together to fight off the Republican machine, her cult followers (not all of her followers, just the radical ones) are trying to divide the party.

Biden.... hmmmmm. Didn't Barak play the race card on him early in the primary???

Biden had an interesting synopsis of Obama's early campaign.

I like Sen. Biden – but for Secretary of State rather than V.P. He is qualified for both, however. So, if he's going to be the V.P. who should Obama choose for Sec'y. of State?

Too bad about Biden. You'd think Obama would pick someone with a spine to offset his own lack therof.

Hillary didn't win....WAH!! Go ahead and vote for someone who stands for the exact opposite of everything Hillary Clinton stands for.

He'll win without the fair weather "Democrats".

Obama/Biden 08!!!!

So much for change, he shows he's the same ol' same ol', a consummate politician with this selection.....

Biden will be Secretary of State.

TO THE 18,000,000 voters who supported Sen. Clinton: Do you need any further slaps in the face to see that Sen. Obama does not want Clinton supporters in his party?

If we are too offensive for him to unite the party, then I urge you to spend the time you would typically spend volunteering for the party and our candidates and instead devote taht time to raising money for the Boys & Girls Club. Honestly, where will your efforts make more of an impact? Where will the be apprecaited?

I am not urging folks to vote for McCain. But, please write Sen. Clinton's name in for President or leave that race blank.

Why whould we support a candidate who wants to kick us out of his parts? I have been a Democrat my entire life. I have no interest in becoming and Obamacrat!

The Hillary crew need to get a grip. If there are so loyal to her, help her pay off her campaign debt then I will be impress. I read Senator Obama raised 7.8 million dollars in 1 night. What does that tell you? In the lyrics of Maino "Hi Haters".

Not sure how this helps Obama. Delaware is a tiny state. Kaine, Sebelius, better choices.

Biden also is known for making more than his fair share of gaffes.

Biden is okay, however Obama cannnot win in Nov....he needs more experience. He's been all over the map lately which shows he does not know what to do. He won't admit he's wrong about the surge which reminds me of Bush stubborness.
The forum Saturday night did show America who was the "leader".
Jack C
Portland OR

Erin needs to accept that she lost and just support Obama and think about Hilary in 2012 if she runs, but don't throw away your vote...

GOOD! BIDEN IS A GREAT PICK THE ONLY ONE BETTER WOULD BE GEN. COLIN POWELL. THAT WOULD BE THE REAL DREAM TICKET!!

Who is the only VP candidate that could overshadow any other mentioned name and also be a BIG BIG SURPRISE:

AL GORE

OBAMA/GORe 08

Does anyone really think that the arrogant Obama would listen to Biden or anyone else with experience? He is too arrogant to listen to anyone, so BIG DEAL!!! A Hillary supporter.

I'm with Erin.

I will also be writing in Clinton.

Yawn – My Biden T-shirt will hang in my closet next to my Eagleton T-shirt. I hope it is Biden. Two boring, out-of-touch policy wonks running together. McCain for sure....

The carrion crows are circling... the DNC knows Obama and the party are in decay....

Too bad... but elections are lost when the democratic process is subverted and in its place is put coercion, threats, intimidation and threats.

Vote democratic or else!!!!!

Or else what?

HoHo HeHe McLame sending Curly and Larry [Lieberman and Graham] to Georgia...does that mean they will be a GOP VP dynamic-duo?

This is great... Biden would be a great VP.

Another "has been"....

Obama/Biden 08/12 The winning ticket! Make the expected announcement and get to work at winning in Nov. The world is tired of the previous administrations COWBOY politics. Restore America to it's former status in the eyes of the international community. Change HAS come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good choice, if that is in fact it. Unfortunately, I don't believe he is going to go this route. I do believe it is his best option.

By the way, I have a feeling this convention is going to cause more problems within the party. Clinton is going to try an end around. She and her supporters will not just give Obama the nod without causing problems.

If Hillary had wanted to end all of this, all she had to do was END her campaign and tell her supporters to stop the nonsense. But she didn't do that. Why? Because she has got something up her sleeve.

I suppose Hill has a better resume than Biden? Her foreign pol experience consisted of shaking hands w/dignitaries...

I believe that Barack Obama needs either Hillary Clinton to secure the female, Latino and elderly vote or Bill Richardson to secure the Latino vote. Either would insure an Obama win.

Joe Biden is good and would be an excellent choice as the Secretary of Defense but Barack needs Hillary or Richardson to compensate for the RNC's smear politics campaigning that seems to be working for them.

Thank god that it won't be Hill-dog. Can you imagine the effective attack ads that the Republicans could use? sheesh!

Welcome to WORLD Socialism if Joe Biden gets the nod....

Biden is so PRO UNITED NATIONS and "helping" the world....just like George Soros!

We need to fix AMERICA FIRST!!!

Certainly on the short list...

bite me....this is rediculous...I'm so sick of these old tickets ...if Hillary is not acceptable because she represents old politics, what is this old nasty senator?

Who cares?

No one but Hillary Clinton is thr right choice- and I mean for PRESIDENT, not for VP.

It's now more clear than ever that the democrats should have taken a better look at Joe Biden during the primaries. He clearly was/is the most experienced democrat available. But no, democratic voters got caught up in the popularity contest between Obama & Clinton, while not taking a second look at what's best for the country, rather than the ticket. Now that he realizes he doesn't have enough experience of his own, the Obama ticket is apparently looking to Joe for some guidance. If they want me to possibly consider changing my mind from McCain, they'd dump Obama while there's still a chance and put Joe Biden in the drivers seat.

That might get him 2 votes.

Biden is the perfect pick! No way they can loose!

Joe Bidden is a lightweight. I can't imagine him as vice president or president. If he is chosen as Obama's running mate I will not consider voting for them.

Maybe HE should be the prez?

Or...here's a no-brainer... what about HRC? After all, She WAS cheated out of the nomination, by voter intimidation, caucus voting irregularities and by disenfranchising millions of those who cast a ballot for her.

Bidden is very experience, intelligent and not working with a lobbyist who was paid $800,000 ny the Georgian government. And since there is no place to comment on McCain and the 'cone of silence I would appreciate a chance to say this CNN: I do think he heard part of the questions and even commented to my wife during the forum that he seemed to almost answer some of the questions even before thy were out of Warren's mouth. Why was McCain so unchactoristically well spoken and confident? Why did Warren repeat ademently the McCain was in the cone before it was ever questioned?

As much as i like Mr. Biden, Obamas VP needs to be Bill Richardson!!!

The people who are going to vote on national security aren't going to vote for Obama anyway. This election will be won on economics and who can make my life better. Biden dosen't do anything for the ticket on that. The Obama camp is worried about having Bill Clinton running around and not Joe Biden. Give me a break. The economy and who can handle it best will win this election and Hillary Clinton won on that poll over and over. When will Democrats ever grow up. If the Republicans had the race the Democrats had the person in who finished second would get the nod despite what occurred during the primary. The Democrats as usual will blow this thing because we
re emotional ans silly. You make this an election about national security and you loss. Its that simple.

Please, NOT Biden.

He's old, a Washington insider...He's exactly the kind of politician Obama has been talking about not being. He does NOT fit into the young-hopeful-forward looking-change theme of the Obama campaign.

Biden sticks his foot in his mouth all the time.
He's likely to Gaffe big time, and the well run Obama campaign does not need that.

THREE BETTER CHOICES....
Kaine is Southern, young, popular and Obama needs Virginia.
Sebelius is a Governor, Popular, will get woman voters and from Ohio.
Bayh is not a "celebrity", but young, a Hillary backer and well qualified.

That’s right Obama press on with the business that is causing severe negative impact on us the 98% of voters who are suffering the most without jobs, without affordable healthcare and the unconditional love for human lives that God has listed in the BIBLE. If we are to talk about the Bible and real religion let’s not over look the commandments when it comes to thinking you are the CHOSEN one’s, it states…..THY SHOULD NOT KILL & THY SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTRY……Didn't McCain vote YES for the WAR and wasn‘t he with Cindy during his first marriage and didn‘t he leave a wife that was hurt physically and emotionally to enjoy himself while he bliss in the arms of a millionaire?…

God knew that if he left this to these groups of people they would judge everyone else but themselves. I will continue to see them as equal flesh and bones as me and you. What’s so sad about this is they have a nerve to QUESTION your religion when for a fact WE should be question our own. He hasn’t given any one of religion HIS key to HIS Golden Gate to heaven, GOD has and will always control this himself, HE is the ONE. I don't see why people (of the same flesh body) finds it easy to judge someone else when their secret closet probably have stones as big as mountains. Why they think (like LAST election) they can judge and tell us which political candidate is better for God and his people. JUDGE GODLY, NOT MANLY.

GO OBAMA 08

Joe Biden is NOT a good possible VP. He opens his mouth and puts his foot in it toooo many times! There are other better choices out there than Biden.

What a hoot!

An empty suit with no resume as the presidential candidate, and for the VP candidate, a knucklehead who steals speeches from losers in the British Labor Party!

I guess compared to Obama, even an airhead like Biden looks weighty!

My choices are Biden or Gov. Richardson. Both these men are awesome choices that would bring credibility to Obama.

Biden can not heal the wounds from Clinton supporters. He can be very goofy sometimes. He seems lost in many cases. Two candiates with history of plagiarism on one ticket?

Can any one actually like to see Biden speak without Obama?

Let's watch it, Dems. How about if McSHAME pulls a fast one a names a white female as running mate? Biden does not add any thing to the ticket. Not even change, not even Billary supporters.

Barack: Please, no Biden!!

The Democratic Party NEEDS a MAJOR! OVERHAUL!. Forget about 2008 (Barack's gonna fell out short, i.e no 270 EV for him come Nov.) or 2012 (The electoral college's gonna change because of the 2010 Census). So start thinking about 2016. You got 8 yrs. You've! been! warned!.

I HOPE IT'S BIDEN.

Blowhard Biden? Yeah, he gives Obama the experience he lacks. It may be the first time a VP is more qualified than the President.

The good news is the Republicans will have PLENTY of gaffes from Biden to choose from.

Why doesn't CNN stick to reporting news and not gossip. Until a VP candidate is chosen, it is not news. Fill your program with real information.

Joe Biden would be a very good VP for Obama but I hope and pray that Obama don't pick Hillary Clinton due to her sour grapes supporters and herself. Obama would be more comfortable with people who he like not someone trying to steal the presidential nomination from him.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Joe Biden...liar, plagiarist.....just like Obama.

This is getting funnier by the hour!

Shutup about this VP speculation crap. You say something different each day.

We don't need news reports on you changing your mind.

My vote for prez will be for Hillary Clinton.

Just as long as Obama doesn't pick Tim Kaine

It's too bad when the world is watching, the PRESUMPTIVE Democratic candidate (Obama) shows his INEXPERIENCE and sends Biden to do his work for him. Didn't Biden say HE had the experience during the primaries? Didn't Biden run for the top spot?

Why elect a candidate because CNN, Anderson Cooper, the political pundits, Howard 'YEEHAW' I'll give you have of the votes anyway, Dean, Pelosi and Reid say we should....no reason whatsoever!

Listen, in 79 days the American voting public can make a difference in selecting our next President. Make sure you select the one with the EXPERIENCE and foresight to pick a VP candidate who can become a part of the team and not just be the surrogate leader of the band.

Hillary Clinton ran on principles and ideals which 18 million+ americans shared. Her name will be placed in nomination because that's how it's suppose to be done. The only backroom deal that counts is who in your family brings the popcorn to the greatest show on earth whch starts in 7 days!

While Barnum and Bailey couldn't have scripted a better CIRCUS than that the Democrats will present...remember at the end of the day, at 3am, when the call comes....who do you want in the White House to answer it?...OR who will straight talk the answer in 30 seconds vs. whom will talk for hours without knowing what question to ask.

If Obama does not select HILLARY for VP – GO JOHNNIE MCCAIN!

That would be stupid. He has a problem staying on message and lashes out sometimes.

There really is NO logical reason for not picking HIllary Clinton. She's tested, she's vetted, she's brilliant, she's ready, and millions of people voted for her so obviously half of America wants her to be involved. Obama's only excuse not to pick her would be that he can't get over his own ego.

And Bill is not a factor. He wouldn't be in the White House. They ARE two distinct people ya know...Bill & Hillary. She has a mind of her own. He's had his turn; he won't be involved again.

My prayer will be answered because I want either Biden or Bayh! But I can't get Biden out of my mind today so I'm going for him. Come on Obama–this is too much drama!
Obama/ Biden, 08

But isn't Biden too OLD? After all, he's 66 - and only 6 years younger than McCain!

I hope Obama does name Biden. Biden has more foreign policy credentials than McCain and is more experienced AND more respected than either McCain or Obama

I love Biden. Obama needs someone to wrap Bush/Cheney around McGAFFE's neck and toss him in the river for good.

Obama/Biden 08!

test

Either Bden or Webb will be a great choice.
Evan Bayh the worst choice possible.

Angry Hillary supporters in 3...

2...

1...

go obama 08

Obama could pick just about any one and I would vote for him. Picking Joe Biden only underscores his world awareness and the fact that he is "ready to lead from day one"...

I hope so, as I think he would make an awesome VP. Obama and Biden would be a very good ticket!!

Obama/Biden '08

I would be very pleased with Biden. He would only advance Obama's chance of win the election. It would give more of National Security to the ticket. There is a real difference between the candidates. The Forum Saturday proved that. Obama answered the question with clearly and nononsense. McCain only did his stump speech about Military and stories about being POW. He tried to tug on Americans heart. POW experience does not have anything to be President. What is he going to do for America as President. We learned a lot more about Obama where he stands on issues. McCain's war stories was all he talked about..

I guess we want to loose November... no party unity I guess.

Biden, Hagel, or Hillary? They have been pretty quiet about Hillary for quite some time which leads me to believe she may be the VP. That would allow for alot of momentum going into the convention and there would not be a roll call vote. Hagel is very possible. No Dem seats lost there. Biden? I still don't see it.................

The short list has all good choices.

Obama looks great rolling into the Convention.

OBAMA 08

Since I will get the e-mail first CNN...... I will have have it POP3 to your inbox as well.

That's an election for the people, funded by the people and the president will be of the people.

Biden is boring, a loud mouth, old and has been in WDC forever.

What happened to the new type of politics? We are going to change Washington? The scream from Obama and his ilk that Hillary has been in Washington too long? We need new blood? Change we can believe in??

It turns out with Obama there is nothing you can believe in other than he will try to win at all cost. Flip-flop-flip-flop!!! I will have a big smile on my face if he picks Biden as his V.P.

No matter, I am still voting for Hillary in November. She was the best qualified for this job and we got stuck with Obama thanks to the Superdelegates.

Yes!!!

I would have voted for Biden for President, but having him on the ticket as VP will not make me vote for Obama.

Biden would be fun. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks, whether it turns out as a gaffe or not: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

This will be good news for our country and the world.

Senator Byden....Go Joe, would love to see you on the ticket.

Anything but another republican in the office!!

OBAMA/BIDEN/HILLARY WHO CARES?!?!? JUST NOT JOHN MCCAIN AND HIS HORRIBLE UNAMERICAN POLICIES!!

Not who I'd pick. But OK.

One thing is for certain, he will bring some fight to the ticket. He will 'bring it' when the Republicans attack.

Sounds like other leader in the world are sick of the Idiots in the RepugBush party.

I could vote for this ticket if the positions were reversed.

But I will NEVER vote for Obama for President, PERIOD.

I HOPE ALL CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL VOTE AGAINST OBAMA, NO MATTER HOW THEY PACKAGE HIM.

Biden would be an excellent choice for VP. I personally prefer Clinton, and I still hope Obama chooses her. It would be a dramatic kickoff to his campaign. While Biden has enormous respect among the know-it-alls in Washington and among political geeks like myself, most people would not recognize him or his name. He should be included in the Obama administrations foreign policy team, but the focus of the future Obama administration has to be domestic policy.

Wilson abandoned much of his liberal domestic program because of World War I, Roosevelt because of WWII, Truman because of Korea, and Johnson because of Viet Nam. We can't afford to focus on foreign affairs so much. They have to be moved to the back burner for a while. Otherwise, America will not be enough of a world power to influence foreign affairs much longer.

Remember 1988 when Joe Biden was laughed out of the presidential primaries for coping speeches?
Is this HOPE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN?

Obama is a joke.

If Obama wants my vote, he had better pick Hillary Clinton. I am a big Hillary Clinton supporter and was devastated when she gave up.

If he wants to bring party unity and the Hillary supporters on board, he needs to make her the VP.

Otherwise, I will vote for John McCain.

The total hypocrisy of the Obama campaign- inflaming the racial tensions to divide the party and resorting to strong-arming at caucus and enploying lawyers to block democratic votes from counting and agitating anti-Hillary vitriol and mocking fellow democrats- has cost Obama many millions of votes from previously loyal democrats.

Democracy before party.

Biden is my pick for VP. Come on Biden, "Show them All what you are working with". Biden would be the perfect choice for Obama. He has all the credentials and has been the best 'attack dog' that I have seen in the Obama campaign. Besides, he looks great in the picture above. He would compliment the Obama brand!

Hi Jack,

the obvious choice since reps are more than ever looking to war as the answer to win this election!

Diane Dagenais Turbide

Put Biden on the ticket and not only lose the election to the old bumbling white man, but you MAY not even get the nomination.

This has been and will continue to be my "Dream Ticket". Hoping this comes to fruition. Senator Biden has always impressed me. Waiting on my text/e-mail Barack . . .

I was saying Obama/Biden '08 back in January. Biden brings so much knowledge, straight talk and experience to the table it will help Obama take away the last thing McCain has going for him.

Brian

Just about anyone would have more foreign policy experience than Obama. Notice that when it involved a rock star tour Obama was all over it with his trip to Europe. When substance was involved, like in Georgia, he's the invisible man. The latest PEW poll has Obama ahead by only 3 points, down from 8 a month ago and 5 last month. The poll was taken before the Georgia crisis. After his lackluster performance with Georgia, he's probably behind. America is waking up to what a fraud he is.

Obama / Biden . Oh yeah !!!!!!

The buzz is always around Obama,so what else is new? He is still a radical liberal,with different values from the average American,and he is still inexperienced and doesn't have a clue how to go about anything he is promising.

Biden's son did arrest Larry Sinclair to hush him up, so Obama owes the Biden Family.

Biden is a good choice. He undercuts McCain's strength and adds a lot of experience. For this reason I think he gives Obama the best chance to win, even if he's not from a strategic state.

CNN: Why no comments on the "cone of silence" story. Warren said explicitly at the beginning of the forum that McCain was in the cone of silence when in fact he did not know that he was of he wasn't. That is a lie in a church. McCain didn't play by the rules and Warren didn't enforce them.

Re the "pay grade" comment: any clear thinker knows that Obama's answer was that he left it to God to decide on sin or not, not to a group that firmly believes they are the ones to decide on life or death as witnessed by their support of the invasion of Iraq and McCain's view that America is entitled to a "bully pulpit" .

Joe will be a great VP.

I am not sure the democrats and the democratic party can overcome the stain on democracy wrought by the nasty vitriolic vulgar behavior of the Obama campaign and their disrespectful supporters.

Supporters who are loyal to Obama but seem to have neither an understanding nor an appreciation to the democratic process.

Supporters who have been willing to use intimidation, coercion, threats, insults and debasement of other democrats JUST to ensure an Obama win.

Supporters who were not willing to have Obama earn votes on his own merits, platform, accomplishments and track record... but felt that they must coerce and force the process by every unethical and unfair means possible.

They even state that the end does justify the means.

NOT IN A TRUE DEMOCRACY.... wise up folks.

I hope so, he is the only sensible choice

Obama/Biden 08&12

FINALLY, OBAMA MAKES A GOOD MOVE!

Biden should have been the nominee.

Too late! Obama has lost!

Maybe he'll be willing to talk about the looming $30 trillion social security bubble.

Barack Biden 08!!!

OMG!!! YESSSSSSSSSS. THIS WAS MY FIRST CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT. VERY SMART MOVE BARACK AND ROLL!!! HE CAN SPIN CIRCLES AROUND McCrACK ANYDAY!!!!!!

CHANGE GONNA COME- 08

Biden is one of the best us Dems have. I would love to see Obama/Biden ticket

Yes!!!!! Senator Biden will be a great VP! I'm looking forward to the TEXT announcement.

BARACK OBAMA 2008
INTEGRITY!
INTELLIGENCE!
HONESTY!

"strip to Georgia?"

I like Joe Biden. The democrats needs someone to be able to deflect the GOP lies and attacks.

I have been a democrat since long before I cast my first democratic ballot (1972 in the year of the first 18 y/o vote) at age 18.

I am now 54 years old and have been politically active and a true blue democrat all these years.

NEVER have I seen a more repugnant and despicable UNdemocratic group of supporters- of either party- as the Cult of nasty worshippers that Obama has inspired to support him and secure his nomination.

Makes me ashamed to be a democrat. The very ideals we stand for have been betrayed by race-card playing, name-calling, insults and denigration of other democrats and of HRC.

That is fact. That will be a big factor in this election.

People vote for a president, not a vice president in an election. The fact of the matter still remains the same. Obama has no experience on the statue to serve as Commander in Chief.

I won't be sorry! Biden truly gets the international issues and will be a great VP. An unstoppable team!

Uninspiring.

It doesn't matter. The Clintons has already hijacked the convention for themselves.
With the Clintons in the picture Obama does not have a chance. He will lose this election not because of Mc Cain but because of Bill & Hillary.
I hope to see the day someone in the Democratic Party has the b!!!s to finally put the Clinton's in their place.
Hillary is a joke, Bill is nothing but a moral leper, but still some people think this country could not survive without them.
These 2 people make me want to puke !!!!

Better for Secretary of State in the Obama administration. But I guess if they need the headline and cred now, it's okay.

For those who say 'Hillary 2012', you can’t win the democratic nomination or presidency without African Americans and she’s lost African Americans forever – especially if she causes Obama to lose by giving insincere support. Get a new dream. She will never be president.

This is a great choice!

Obama/Biden 08

Huge mistake....Biden, Mr. Plagarist, Mr. Foot in Mouth man....brings NO numbers for BO.....and huge risk....
Hillary or NO VOTE.......

I want Obama to pick Biden. I so badly want to see Biden debate Romney, were he to be McCain's pick.

Biden would eat him alive.

CNN–WHY is the story about McCain's deceit in the Saddleback Forum not opened up to comments????

It is all over Huffington Post this morning.

Your bias toward McCain is showing again.

Joe Biden would be a very good VP pick for Obama. I still wish it were Hillary for VP, but I find Biden to be a very wise choice on Obama's part, if indeed it is Biden.

Biden all the way. He does not take no crsp for the republicans.
I read that Malcolm X once said that "the white man is the master of tricknology". After what I saw last week what Hillary said and what she is trying to pull on Obama at the convention and after seeing McSame's performance at the so called Faith Forum then finding out that Rick Warren LIED about where McSame was during the time that Obama was being questioned, I think that Malcolm told the truth.
The Faith Forum was a SHAM and just like the rest of the MEGA MILLION church leaders Rick is a trick. He will fall just like the rest of them because he is using God to play games with Gods people and line his pockets with MONEY.

Great Choice, for VP

Biden, eh? All the great Democratic leaders must have turned Barack Obama down.

Good.

True Democrats across the country are happy to let Obama have Biden, who won't be missed when he's not in Hillary's VP shortlist in 2012.

Knoxville

Obama has the disadvantage here on foreign policy. I still say no McCain, even with his experience! I will be writing in Hillary Clinton. No good choices for 2008!

I would be very happy with Bidon. Shame on Senator McCain for cheating on Saturday or even giving the elusion of cheating.
