PLEASE FOLKS, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ALL OF THESE DEMANDS THAT HILLARY IS PUTTING ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND THE CONVENTION! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, THIS IS THE TIME FOR THE PARTY TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT OF BARACK.

HILLAR? WHAT IN THE NAME OF HEAVENS IS WRONG WITH HER?
HAS SHE TOTALLY LOST IT? AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH BARACK'S CAMPAIGN ADVISERS?

WHAT HILLARY IS DOING, TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO DONATE TO HER FAILED CAMPAIGN DURING THE CONVENTION, IS TOTALLY DISGUSTING AND WRONG! THIS IS BARACK'S TIME!

SOMEBODY, PLEASE, TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN, BECAUSE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I CANNOT FATHOM THIS WOMAN.

HILLARY CLINTON, THE CONVENTION BELONGS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. THIS IS NOT YOU, IT IS BARACK OBAMA! SO PLEASE STOP DEMANDING CONSESSIONS OF THE OBAMA CAMP, STOP BEGGING THE OBAMA CAMP TO PAY OFF YOUR DEBT, START BEGGING YOUR 18 MILLION STRONG SUPPORTERS, PLEASE?

If Obama will chose Hillary as his VP, he WILL WIN! McCain's lead is only because people don't know who he's going to pick. He is a smart man, he will pick Hillary!

It's her, if he's half as smart as his supporters think he is.

I didn't think it would be worth considering, and I don't really like her, but I think Hillary as VP would probably be the best way to bring in the votes necessary for Obama to win, and win he must if we are to avoid becoming a Police State.

Is there any reason former Sen. Bob Graham of Florida has not been mentioned? Florida offers more electoral votes than Delaware, Virginia, or Indiana; Sen. Graham brings the experience of a former governor and foreign policy expertise as the former chair of the Senate Inelligence Committee; and, like Sen. Obama, he was smart enough to read the intelligence reports to conclude that invading Iraq was unjustified and would be disastrous for us. None of the other names being floated can bring such a winning combination.

NO!

obama/clinton 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama / Kaine
Obama / Biden
Obama / Clinton
Obama / Bayh
Obama / Hagel
Obama / Nunn
Obama Webb
Obama / Sebelius
Obama / Richardson

all the above combinations will have me and my family's 1000 % support!

We want change and new era!

Clean and alternative energy

No war

Better and universal health care

tough diplomacy not bully(doesn't work anyway)!

If Obama wants to win he has to pick Hillary as his VP. No Hillary - John McCain takes the prize. How is it that Obama's campaign has racked in 400 million dollars to date and still will lose? Because you are not listening to 18 million Americans who wanted and still want Hillary Clinton. It's really foolhardy to deny this glaring reality. Obama will be kicking himself in November.

FOLKS, just watch the rest of this election. BARACK IS GOING TO KEEP A LOW POSITIVE PROFILE. JOHN McCAIN IS GOING TO CONTINUE RANTING AND RAVING!

BARACK IS GOING TO COME OUT ON TOP, HE IS GOING TO WIN BY A HUGE LANDSLIDE!

AMERICANS, IF YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY, AND REALLY WANT TO RESTORE THE RESPECT OF THE REST OF THE WORLD, PLEASE! DON'T VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN FOR YOUR PRESIDENT, YOUR NINE, TEN, THIRTEEN TRILLION $ IN DEBT TO CHINA WILL DOUBLE.

CHINA WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE OVER AMERICA IN LIEU OF DEBT! DON'T FORGET, BORROWING MONEY (REGARDLESS OF WHO YOU ARE BORROWING FROM) IS BASED ON THE BASIC LOGICAL UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU CAN PAY IT BACK!

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY, TO MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO BORROWED (MORTGAGE) IN ORDER TO BUY THEIR AMERICAN DREAM HOME? WELL THIS IS NO DIFFERENT TO WHAT YOUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT IS DOING.TO AMERICA AND EVENTUALLY, EARLIER, RATHER THAN LATER, CHINA IS GOING TO COLLECT!

GOD BLESS OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS!

After the saddleback debate Obama's teleprompt 20 writers speech just won't have the same impact. We got to see Obama in his own words and boy, he's not ready to be president.

Obama never should have called the Pro Life Group Liars on CBN.

They actually proved Obama "refined" his position on late term abortion, or "Born Alive" legislation…you know, the one that had a 98-0 vote in the Senate…(Obama was a state senator at the time)

The New York Post ran a HEADLINE saying Obama is lying about his abortion stance.

At the end of the story, the reporter said either Obama did not know his own voting record, or was so accustomed to shrouding it in dishonesty that it had become second nature to him.

Well, it's not Hillary and her whinning supporters. I'd rather see Obama lose the election than to pick Hillary.

Hillary political career is over. If Obam loses it's because of Hillary. And we will not forget. It's over for the Clintons.

FINALLY, a CNN blog whose comments are not closed!

HEY CNN, SOME OF US LIVE IN PACIFIC TIME!

A COMMENT ON DAVID GERGEN'S OP ED ON THE 360 BLOG:

We did not see the so-called-debate with Pastor Warren, so I can not speak to how the candidates did.

ALL, I know is that WE CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF GOP RULE!

PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP AND SEE THE DISASTER THE GOP/CHENEY/BUSH/MCCAIN ARE LEAVING!

$10 TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT……………… DOUBLED SINCE THE GOP TOOK OVER!

A DEFICIT OF $490 BILLION! UNEMPLOYMENT, TWO WARS……… AND MCCAIN WANTS TO "BOMB…………BOMB………..BOMB IRAN!"

DO I THINK MCCAIN LISTENED TO OR KNEW THE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE…………… OH YEAH! HE WAS DELAYED GETTING THERE, SO HIS PEOPLE COULD GIVE HIM AN EDGE.

IF WE ELECT MCCAIN WE WILL GET MORE OF THE SAME. GOD HELP US!

Obama needs to take hillary for vp he needs a big boost, if he dose not gat a big boost in the pools after the convention he is done.

Don't blame me I voted HIllary!

Go Hillary!!!

Who is Kaine you need Hilllary Obama

Obama lacks foreign policy experience in my opinion. He does not even have that much time logged in politics, period. I really think people need to look at who they are voting for. Do they really know who Obama is? What he stands for? What will be his response to Islamic countries? I will not vote for him. He lost my vote a long time ago.

False about Biden.
Biden IS THE GUY.

I just saw Mark Halperin on CNN say don't listen to Biden.
Biden later came back after golf and basically said nervously to reporters he didn't know what was going on.
Seems Biden is forcing himself to "not blow it" by saying too much.

Halperin thinks Biden is 1st choice, Bayh 2nd choice and 3rd choice is someone not mentioned and Halperin is still trying to figure out who that could be.

Halperin doesn't consider Kaine a top choice anymore.

Of course earlier, Sebelius (and Hillary) were accidentally eliminated when Barack say "He" in reference to his VP.

Better choose Hillary as VP if he wants to get elected. She brings excitement, experience to ticket.

If Obama stands any chance of becoming president, he will need to have Hillary as his running mate.

What is America? I'm so tired of the Pumas and fake democrats (really republicans) saying Hillary should be the VP pick. I saw a blog today that made perfect sense. If Hillary had the 18 million plus supporters, where are they when her debt needs to be retired? Could it be many of her supporters were Repubs causing mischief? That would explain why she always had money issues during the primary. Think about it and get back to me.

Anybody in their right mind knows that if Obama wants to win the election by a landslide that he must choose Hillary for VP. I hope to God that he don't pick her. After seeing and hearing how lame he acted after the Russian invasion…No way I'd trust him on that 3 am phone call!

Kaine is a very good Gov. and he practices what he preaches. He works hard for solutions. There was a bit of a stalemate on the roads and transportation issue here due to gridlock. Kaine maybe not the best to win over voters because he, himself, will receive some of the same charges Obama gets (experience, military and terrorism know-how and ability, etc..) It is a shame too, because Kaine would make a GREAT VP. If Obama wants to win this election, I sadly must say he has got to pick someone else. Somebody to appeal to Republicans who are angry with their party, someone who can appeal to anyone who is tired of high gas and food prices. That is my take on it anyways, I hope I am wrong, Obama picks him and he wins, but then we'd be losing a great Gov. and wouldn't have a good replacement.

Hey he looks just sweat. wonder if they will meet Larry Craig. You know both Obama and Larry won in Idaho I am quite sure that was a fluke if you know what I mean. Can you imagine Obama carrying Idaho?

But that is one of the states that counted when Dean and the DNC gave the nod to Obama.

I was shocked as I 'm sure you were as well. Don't you know Hillary won the east coast, the west coast and the midwest along with MI and FL. She kicked Obama's butt all over the map.

I ask you,. what more could you ask for in a candidate?

Obama is risky and I don't want to gamble with my country and my values.,

I am leaving my opinion here as you (CNN) close articles subjectively. CNN you really do not report objecively. If you did you would lose the mindless types that react to your simple psychology you call reporting. How do you get your poll results. And God forbid, the numbers were not close you would lose viewership.THe crawley article on the Rick Waren interview on your blogs was tilted toward McCain as you needed to bring the polls closer. How do you get your numbers? 1 million 2 million surveyed. Really now, who do want to win? Manipulate your articles so as to skew the vote in the direction that brings you ratings. A true disservice to Americans.

Don't be stupid! You need Hillary to win Ohio and the presidency.

Welcome aboard Vice President Kaine! He is an excellent choice. He's young and smart and not a part of Old Washington. Yeah! We are about to turn the page y'all!

Obama/Kaine 08

I am a Obama supporter i dont care what any poll says. CNN has to have rateings so I dont expect any more from them. Some of their anouncers has prejudice written all over their faces. One Lou Dobbs mainely. He is a total prejudice biggot,against spanish and blacks. Obama has the deck stacked against him from the day he decided to run for president.,and we all know why. The color of his skin!! Sad to say but true. He will prevail however. I have no doubt. All the Lou Dobbs in the world can't prevent it.

Since the very day obama squeaked in to the nomination thru his manipulation of the caucus those who KNOW have said over and over. The DNC always snatches defeat out of a certain victory. And in obama's case that is exactly what they have done. I hate to see a republican win but WE TOLD YOU SO WHEN THE CABLE TV GOOD OLD BOYS, AND THE BLOGGERS SLURRED AND FLAMED AND LIED AND HAD TO DRAG UP 30 YEAR OLD INCIDENTS about Hillary , we told you obama wouldn't win he is all flash in the pan.

why every person who is name as potential vp are declining. It is a sign that being Obama running mate could be a hot potato nobody wants to hold…

Mark Warner would be a much better VP choice than Kaine. I will be disappointed if he picks Kaine.

Kaine who?

Kaine is a great guy - he would be excellent!
BUT, Jim Webb will be the choice - wait and see.

Kaine is the least qualified candidate on Obama's short list. Kind of works–the blind leading the blind…. over the abyss.

NObama!

Jim Webb is going to be the VP choice.
Anyway, polls are not always right - too many variables.
Also, does anyone find it strange that just before the election, when democrats are polling through the roof and the white house is within reach, that all of a sudden, out of nowhere, we're suddenly getting ready to possibly invade Russia??? Would the Bush Administration go so far as to back a Russian invasion of Georgia to get the American public back into war mode????
Makes one ponder the possibilities.
Anyway, Jim Webb is the man - wait and see.

who the heck will it be…i can't see how Kaine or Bayh helps Obama on foreign policy…if it isn't Biden i don't know what to think!!

I've only read the first link so far, and already have a comment. The author attempts to portray McCain's actions in Vietnam as somehow heroic. They weren't. According to McCain's own words in his autobiography FAITH OF MY FATHERS — within four days of being captive, he offered and then gave valuable and valid military information to his captors in return for medical treatment he wanted but which other POWs in his position didn't get. I have seen reports (one from a man who was the chief Republican investigator for the 1992 committee on POWs on which McCain sat) which indicates that McCain was the "star" of upwards of 30 propaganda broadcasts for his captors. I have seen reports from men who were Senior Ranking Officers at the prison camp in which McCain was purportedly incarcerated who said that, at a time when McCain claimed he was tortured, no torture was happening at that camp (they said they couldn't comment directly about McCain, since no POWs were present when one of their number was being questioned, but they spoke generally about the camp's activities and nature).

Take the gloves off …. and keep them off Barack ….

time to bring hillary back

this media hyped obama is loosing to republicans
down in polls 11 points in favorability just before the convention

this guy obama should be 20 points ahead by now

the media fed us yellow cake and back stabbed hillary
and most ingrate democrats ate that yellow cake

Hey Lisa…. go away. I think I saw on another comment that you said you got a text that Obama was picking Al Gore. Y'know what? I just got a text too. It says you're an idiot.

ITS ABSOLUTELY IMMANURE WHO HE PICKS AS VEEP. MAKES NO NEVERMIND WHAT SO EVER. KINDA LIKE THE OLD SWITCHAROO WITH THE SINGERS BY THE CHI-COMS. ITS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY THEY SQUEAKED. A BILLION BLIND MICE. NOT TO BE UN LINKED WITH OBLAMA STOOPORTERS. HE BETTER PICK SOMEONE LIKE A DEAF SET OF 24′S ON HIS RIDE. OBAMA NEED THE NUMBERS AND THE BLINGY BLINGY AFTER THAT LIE HE TOLD ABOUT ABORTION. O-M-G AND IN FRONT OF THE PREACHER. MMMMMMMMMMM I SEE A BOLT OF LIGHTNING IN HIS FUTURE………….NO SORRY THATS MCCAIN OPENING UP A 55 GALLON DRUM OF WHOOP TATER NOV 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Hillary supporters should send a email to Senator Obama so that he picks her.

I believe it will be Bayh. An accomplished Senator that has not been in Washington too long to shake off the politics of influence. But, it could be a pick that we have overlooked or never looked at. Keep watching or waiting for the text!

Ain't it great, Obama '08!

Yeah, add Kaine. He's such a boring guy it will bring defeat to Obama is already dropping in the polls.

Abstain or McCain

Hillary LOST …thank God …now if she would please just take a HIKE!

Girls have you ever heard of NAFTA? Bill Clinton is responsible for millions of lost manufacturing jobs.. Hillary was all for it …she lied on the campaign trail.. she would say anything she is a pathetic " liar"

dik gone

Why not Hillary?

Obama should pick someone who represents "change"

Kaine was a mistake for Virginia. He will not make the difference Obama thinks he will.

Dumbama and Kaine. Change I can believe in.

Please pick Kaine!!!! That way McCain can campaign against 2 inexperience fools.

I would be surprised if it is not Biden..I know he said, im not the guy..But he is the most logical choice. Obama/Clinton 08 or Obama/Biden 08..either is good for me

INFORM YOURSELF…..Please…Tim Kaine will be a great VP pick… only Colin Powell would be a better pick… White America sure would like to see an all Black Ticket

I heard Kaine on the radio a few days ago. He would make an excellent choice. He answered tough questions with great responses. He's quick on his feet, even with the "gotcha" type questions that the mainstream media like to throw at politicians. Furthermore, he showed that he wasn't afraid to take on that weasel Rove. He'd make an excellent VP.

JACK CAFFERTY FOR VP!!!!!

No obama for the White House. No good candidates left for him to pick. Sorry but MCCain will rule the show as he has been doing the whole time. Be a good loser democrats.

the neo-cons of CNN are at it again!

"IS THE TIDE TURNING?"
"BAD NEWS FOR OBAMA"
blah blah blah blah blah…

just wait for the KKKs of the right to turn on you…..LOL

Kaine's an awesome guy… he may not get picked for VP, but I'm sure he's got a place in Obama's cabinet. Obama's NOT going to pick Hillary… so give it up, Lisa! She lost… time to move on.

Lisa August 19th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Obama is going to pick Hillary, I received the text today!!

—————————————————————————————————-

Sounds like something he would do, then he would tell his/her supporters to unite under the joint ticket. This way he would get more votes. Maybe people will start seeing the light and see through these frauds. BTW- wasn't it H. Clinton that said he wouldn't make a good leader. LOL

McCain '08

Kaine would be a terrible choice for VP.

The funny thing is that his lead was suppose to be smaller days after the primary season ended because of HC supporters.

As the months go by his lead is suppose to increase as those supporters join the band wagon but …

It looks like his lead continues to get smaller and smaller and smaller … I think he not only is not getting the HC supporters but every day he changes his position on important issues … I think his own supporters are starting to see through him.

If he wants to win … I think HC is his only choice. Like it or not - that's the way it is.

Town meetings, invitation-only, Obama always acts like he's to good for the general public. Dean, Kennedy, Kerry, and Pelosi really screwed up by wanting Obama. Those four should have allowed the people to pick the candidate.

OMG
The Repugnants have reached an all time low! Just when you think there was no lower than a snakes belly they prove it is possible to go lower.
Shams, shame, shame on them. They are now saying ( 5 minutes ago on the Hannity show) that Barack favors murder for partial birth abortions.
They have reached unknown lows even for slime soaked Republicans.
No more lies from the republicans.

Well it is not Kaine. I think it is Biden, whom I like

I dont know for the life of me how anyone could vote for McCain.

A vote for McCain will put America in further debt and doom

Obama is the answer for all the wrong that is happening now

"Kaine and Obama will host an invitation-only town hall meeting"

—————————————————————————————————-

Guess they don't want to answer any hard questions just pre-screened ones. Guess after he fumble the other night you would expect this. Obama is a joke, he has no principles, he'll say anything to get people to vote for him. Maybe that's why more people are seeing through him now. He came down to Houston, TX to hang out with the wealthy Dems to raise money but wouldn't show his face anywhere else, wonder why?

McCain '08

Obama,is very smart and careful of what he say and do . I belive he wiil pick the right person to be his VP. Be it Hillary or who he will still win the election

what exactly is Mccain and the Keating 5 scandal?

Scott L,

No. If an illegal immigrant got a kidney instead of me I'd still have my soul intact and those of us with souls understand a dying human being is a dying human being. I would not care if that person was an American citizen, an American immigrant, an illegal immigrant, or some John Doe who washed up on shore. A human being is a human being and organ donor recipients are chosen based on need and their standing on the donor list. It's uncaring people like you that suck the humanity out American society. Stop your hate mongering and go help people who don't have the resources to help themselves. It would open your eyes.

-Ian
Born in Wisconsin. Raised in Seattle. As white and American as one can be.

I just flipped out that Toby Keith is a democrat and for OBAMA

Governor Kaine needs to take better care of Virginia, before suggesting he is VP worthy.

We're on the cusp of a hugh fiscal shortfall, which the governor's economists are keeping quiet until AFTER the election, hoping to help turn the state blue. Virginians, wake up.

Come home, Governor Kaine. Do the job you were elected too!

Obama has to pick Kaine. He is the newly elected Governor of Virginia. Of all of the names mentioned he is the only one with less experience than Obama.

It's Kaine or some school board member from Ohio.

Kaine just looks scary to me and what's more his resume is even thinner than Obama's. Not the ticket I would want to run this country. And as for Biden (he's about as arrogant as Obama), and Bayh seems like a good guy, but again light on experience (sorry but I think you've got to have experience to make good judgments).

Obama/Clinton or NOObama . . . .

that obama man sure does a lot of stumping on somebody else's coat-tails. one thing we can't accuse him of, is standing up for himself by himself.

Kaine? No. Don't think so. Only with Hillary would he get my vote, otherwise, McCain, here we come!

Go Kaine and Obama…

That latest poll of polls is drivel…..

Look at how the margins have changed in the last two months:

Obama's lead was 5, then 2, then 3, then 1, then2, then 4,5,4,5,6,8,7,5,6,8,4,6,3,5,5,3,5,5,6, and now back to 3….

What's it prove?
We are all watching the Olympics and enjoying the summertime of course:):)

when he no longer needs you and doesn't even know your name
there's a place waiting for you, under the bus Mr. Kaine

HATE TO SAY THIS…. BUT I BELIEVE OBAMA IS GOING TO HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PICK HILLIARY AS HIS VP. The only bright side to this is that they will win the election BIG TIME !!

In America, we are really good at electing "dumbos" to the Presidency. Just count the following:

1. George Bush
2. Bush Senior
3. Regan

Now, we are ready to elect another senile guy, rather than a presidential scholar, to the presidency!!!

Biden just flip flopped on this comment on Countdown.
The though of the VP being someone other than Biden
makes me physically sick. Bayh and Kaine are great but
Obama needs Joseph Biden JR. He even looks the part
with Obama. They remind me of the characters played by
Matthew McConaughey and Donald Sutherland in the
John Grisham movie "A Time To Kill," They would be
unstoppable this fall. Barack, I have been waiting for
this moment for a year. Please do not disappoint me
and the milions of American who adore you and Senator
Biden!

Go Obama/Kaine

If he don't pick Hillary, I'm voting for McCain.

LISA, You wouldn't receive a text message of Senator Obama's VP pick, only HIS SUPPORTERS will receive a text message ahead of the public. On EVERY SINGLE BLOG about Senator Obama (and even the ones about McSurge), all you do is tear Senator Obama down and post your negative, hateful attacks about him. Surely you're not now trying to say you're one of his supporters?!!! So, if he does pick Hillary, I JUST KNOW THAT YOU WON'T BE SUPPORTING THAT TICKET, NOT AFTER ALL THE HATE YOU'VE SPREAD AROUND ON THESE BLOGS ABOUT HIM.

I read all posts regarding sen.Obama and Mccain.
People in America hate each other so mach.How do you expect
other nation respect your future president and your country?
Husein ,osama ,nobama and other bad names for somebody who
wants the best for most of you.You will vote not for sen.Obama because
he is black. Today everybody has information from internet. People
around the world watch this bad and hatefull show. But be carefful
what some of you wish for? This time joke could be on you.!!!!!!!!!!!

Dollars to donuts Lisa is a guy. A Repug. just trying to stir the pot.

Lisa, You wouldn't receive a text from Senator Obama about his VP pick, ONLY HIS SUPPORTERS will receive the text message ahead of the public. On EVERY SINGLE BLOG about Senator Obama (AND EVEN THE ONES ABOUT McSURGE), all you do is tear Senator Obama down and post your negative, attack comments about him. Surely you're not now trying to say you're one of his supporters?!!!

Tim Kaine would be an excellent choice for Obama! Their policies are so much alike. Together they can expand government social programs and spending until our country is *cough* "great"!

VP candidate: the only sure win is the GAL who has been taking the punches since the early 1990s.

The biggest mistake of the DNC this primary is their failure to recognize how deeply respected and loved the Clintons are, by those who have been observing for quite some time.

The legacy will haunt them come November, if Hillary is not running beside him, because she has proven over the years to many of us that She is ALL that!

T H E —-D E B A T E—–W A S N ' T —-C L O S E —–M C C A I N—–

W O N—-O N—-H O N E S T Y—-S U B S T A N C E—–I S S U E S —–

P I E R C I N G—B A L L O O N—-O F — H O T —–A I R

Obama will do anything to win and if he thinks he is going to lose he will pick Clinton. He doesn't deserve to win. He reminds me of Bush he lost all the debates you could tell he didn't have the experience and people voted for him anyway and now they want to do it again. Unbelieveable!

This whole VP shananigan is the dumbest thing ever! Like everything else, Obama is treating this whole thing like a reality show.

It'll be ashame if he picks billary.

Tim Kaine would be an excellent choice for Obama! Their policies are so much alike. Together they can tax and institutionalize our country into *cough* "greatness"!

On Sunday, he did not arrive on time 1/2 hour late for 1-hour program he was listening to the show from his or other people on the car and making the answer ready. He is the cheater and, late and follower of Obama. If he can not be on time how he will be running the country at 3 am with lies and cheating go home McBush we do not want you. Just say your policy for once instead of talking about Obama. You cheated on your wife how we can believe you.

I will say it again, no Hillary NO VOTE - plus the 18 million! Go ahead CNN keep saying that Hillary has to much baggage since she is married to Bill Clinton! Mark my word you will lose November especially after Saturday performance.

If he picks Kaine I will seriously sit this one out. A pro-lifer like Kaine will rightfully demoralize Hillary supporters as well.

No matter who his VP selection is, he's going to get crushed in November. People are starting to realize this guy is less about "change" and more about "socialism". Just look at his performance in the Senate: the most liberal voting record and absolutely no qualifications to be commander-in-chief. 'Nuff said.

A perfect selection for Obama. Barack will pick Kaine, and the American electorate will pick McCain.

More misleading titles from CNN. How is still leading in the polls the bad sign for Obama?

Why is so much focus on polls when the primaries proved the polls are soo far off from the truth?

And we think the media is biased to Obama?

NOT!

Obama crowd, keep working in your efforts and we will sweep to the WH.

Hey media, why not count the number of campaign offices per state for each canidate? Why not tell everyone what will happen with McCain after the convention when he is limited spending due to accepting public financing? Hey, where is the story about Cindy McCain's half sister and they way Cindy treats her blood relitives?

The only way Obama can Win is with HILLARY, but it won't happen. All they have to do is ask Obama who was Frank D. Marshal,[ a true answer, my mentor. He was a COMI check it out if you want to find the truth of his background cnn.

I don't think it matters who Barack campaigns with his magic is gone.

Someone that did crack cocaine is called a crack head.

Barack hard left turn is scaring a lot of people

Obama is stupid if he picks Kaine. He will not win VA period. Just liek Al gore lost his home state. He would be better off picking Bayh. He would be a much better pick. Of course either way McCain will win it unless McCain does something stupid like pick a Pro Choicer to be his running mate.

Obama's lead over McCain in polls is dwindling and he knows it. After hearing Obama's speech on "sharing the wealth" I realized Obama will probably do more harm than good to America. America needs to keep its sovereighnity. I know Obama cares about his homeland Africa, but how much can American people "share the wealth" with the country that just doesn't seem to function no matter how much of our billions of dollars we throw away at them. Don't we have anough people in poverty here in America to "share the wealth" with. And what wealth are we talking about if we're facing this huge budget deficit? Obama is not too good at economics, and economics should be today's number one issue regarding choosing a president. And talk about Obama's plan to send each family a thousand dollars to help with fuel costs instead of tackling this issue at the root.

Kaine would be a good choice for him. We would have dumb and dumber in the "white house".

Wow—He must have an inferiority complex—
To even think of someone with less experience than he DOMES the ticket—
But even if he takes someone with a lot of experience ( Biden )
then he just contradicts himself about the same old politics—
It's so clear that the only people that support him are the young — whomn don't even vote and women because he's "in vogue"–
Everyone with any character votes McCain–
Did you see him answer—When does life begin ?
He answers—THats above his pay grade was his response—so is the Presidency Mr. Obama—

mccain needs to go down one number

JT you're scared? About what? Reseach a bit before you come on here and talk about your feelings. Nobody here is Dr. Phil.

are clinton and here supporter goig to vote obama or not

I'll have to do my research on Kaine. The way I look at it the traditional ways have lead the country to all kinds of complications, so I'm sure Obama can bring fresh ideas that will help this country succeed. One would be a fool to take on as much responsibility without having a plan in place and I think Obama has done his research. Just having the name as a president doesn't mean nothing if you can't back it up. I think alot of presidents have taken on this responsibility just to have the luxury of going down in history because they were good marketers. Yea..that's what it is. When one isn't flashy and well known no one trusts that they have a plan. Well, sit back and enjoy!
Another thought for all you fellow Christians. No man, land, or president can overcome what God said will happen in the last days. Please remember that. Have a good one!
GO OBAMA!! I LOVE YOU IN ALABAMA!

So what…who cares. This guy probably couldn't even help him win VA—if he knows whats good for him he will pick Hillary even though I would still be so disappointed. For her to take 2nd place to this guy who knows absolutely nothing…it's disgraceful…I hope she says no! BTY, he proved just how stupid he is Sat at the Rick Warren forum…when does human life begin, "that's above my paygrade!!!" You would think that by this time he would have some answer…he surely knew this question would be asked…GO MCCAIN

hillary is not going to be vp

This is just tiresome already…

Are we going to have a ticker every time either Obama or McCain step foot in another state? Big deal.. another campaign speech and more VP speculation. When he announces his VP.. then we'll actually have something to talk about.

hagel would be the best vp choice for obama. he's strong on foreigh policy, has experience and was against the war from the beginning. running a bi-partisan ticket would stongly show that obama and the country is ready for change

You dems are shooting yourselves in the foot!

HAHAHA

McBUSH for 08′!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kaine ??? No, no, no! He won't help clinch it for Obama. Kaine is an unknown, non-entity. A lame duck.

Only Hillary as veep would give Obama the only chance of winning in November. All the remaining choices are re-heats of yesterday. So much for change.

I'll take an old drunk with a magic 8 Ball over any Republican with the exception of Ron Paul.

Republicans are destroying our nation and are purposefully bankrupting our government so that all control can be ceded to the corporations.

Just remember my fellow Americans, if you go into the both and vote for McCain you have signed off on the end of the land of the free and the home of the brave and the beginning of "A Brave New World" Huxley style.

For those who keep saying Clinton better be VP or your voting McCain, looks like you'll be voting McCain cause she won't be on the ticket. Besides, I don't see Hillary taking the backside to Obama, even if the positions does have the VP doing more, she be best suited elsewhere.

Is he taking a personal day or just calling in sick?

forget about the clinton

It could still be Hillary —— or Colin Powell —— or Hagle

See - my guesses are as good as "theirs" - HA

Folks: Yahoo is reporting that Ralph Nader thinks the Dem Veep will be Hillary. In one sense, it's "dream" ticket—unify the party, get all of those Hillary votes, etc, etc. In another sense, though, it ought to be every Democrats worst nightmare. In an election year, where all the Dems had to do to get elected was nominate a mainstream, white, male candidate whose platform could have been simply, "I'm not George Bush, and I am a Democrat", they fool around with a strident, ego-maniacal, me first, carpet-bagging woman, and a black male, with no experience and an arguably questionable background. Makes ZERO sense.

Nader is utterly wrong, not because he has anything but his own ego and self-interest at heart, but because Hillary wants McCain to win! Why? Because she figures that he's a one term deal, and that she goes in for 8 years, four years hence. She views Obama as a politically correct flash in the pan. You heard it here first! I'm right (in more ways than one).

OBAMA'S VP CHOICE DOES NOT APPEAR TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO AMERICAN VOTERS , ANY OF HIS SHORT LIST
CANDIDATES : SEBELLIUS, EVAN BAYH KAINE, BIDEN DO NOT HAVE THE VOTES TO HELP HIM. THE STATES THAT DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WERE WON BY HILLARY..AND SHE HAS NOT EVEN BEEN MENTIONED LATELY AS A POSSIBLE VP CHOICE. AFTER THE RICK WARREN CIVIL FORUM : OBAMA WAS CLEARLY THE LOSER. WHAT'S MORE OBAMA SEEMS TO BE AT A LOSS WITHOUT
A TELEPROMPTER WHEN HE IS SPEAKING. THAT IS WHY HE SHIED AWAY FROM TOWN HALL FORUMS AND DEBATES AND MORE DEBATES.. HE WILL NOT DEBATE MCCAIN MORE THAN ONCE!!!!

Senator Obama needs to be truly fair and choose the best person for the job for his VP - Hillary Clinton. So many of his supporters truly think that all of us who do support Hillary are going to fall into line and vote for him. If he does not choose Hillary and attempt to unify the fractured democratic party and let our voices be heard as well - then I believe he's all about himself and not about the party. I will choose to place my voice and my vote elsewhere and not on the Obama ticket unless Hillary is there as well.

Cindy McCain has consistently stated that she was "the only child" but today I heard on NPR that in fact she has a sister from the same father who is pissed that Cindy is lying to the media. Her sister, Kathy, is content that her and Cindy's dad gave Cindy the family business and only gave her $10,000 in his will, but she is pissed that Cindy continually lies to the media about being an only child.

Don't you people get it yet? CNN and others do this to keep their ratings up. If it was a landslide one way or the other, no one would watch. MEDIA MIND GAMES

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

"CBS News has confirmed that Barack Obama's campaign now plans to announce Obama's vice presidential choice to supporters via email and text message on Friday afternoon. (This plan could change, of course.)"

There should be no surprise. The American voters are not going to vote for a (half) black man. No how…no way!!!
They will rationalize and debate but when the chips are down the bare bare fact is that they will not vote for Obama.
Say hello to your new President … John McBush.

McBush is just another Bush's continuation of this current failed policy. He is good at cheating and fiip flopping, smear and fear. That's all they know. Instead of helping the American people how to uplift the failed administration's policy, he wanted to continue with the war in Iraq for 100 years. Obama 2008

Please pick him he has ran our state into a $2 billion deficit in a very short time. He will hurt Obama in Va and nationally. Two little lawyers have no shot against Romney on the economy. He would not even hire these two to work for his investment firm.

Leave it up to Conservative CNN to say "Bad News for Obama", painting a negative picture with negative undertones…the reality is that the polls were showing that McCain cut into Obama's lead…last week…so what is new? What is the News? The fact of the matter is that I expect it to be an uphill battle…since may of the prior voters for Bush are still living with the fear that Bush nurtured over the last 8 years, fear that feeds on bigotry and superficiality, and narrow-minded thinking. With the publication of another pack of "swift-boat" lies and McCain's flippant response to the seriousness of this reminds me that the so-called "Christian" republicans rely on lies to get elected and that McCain does not have the depth to comprehend the fact that bigoted lies in the book help to destroy democray…they certainly fed into the lies that the Brown Shirts propogated and fed the people of Germany in WWII…lies that practicaly destroyed the Jews. While we are not there yet, it is frightening to see so many people fall for the lies propogated by the swift-boaters, lies that can lead many to vote for "sameness"…years of the same agenda as Bush.

It will be Biden. Biden is great attack dog and will tear McCain and his VP pick apart and spit them out. That is what Obama needs right now since McCain has chosen to use his gutter politics.

Kaine is a big joke here in Virginia. He pushed the law through that doubled traffic tickets for VA drivers (thank goodness it was overturned). He failed to get the metro out to Dulles. He pretty much just spends his time arguing with the Virginia House of Delegates and not getting anything done. Aside from his loyalty to Obama, not sure why this guy would be a good pick. He has no experience or accomplishments. I guess they make a good match.

whats in a name?? Kaine or McCain and Abel?

Lisa August 19th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Obama is going to pick Hillary, I received the text today!!
______________________________________________

Sure you did.

I have great respect for Gov. Kaine. I believe Obama will make the right decision for his VP whether it is Biden, Clinton, Kaine, Bayh, etc.

Si se puede!

Who is Kaine??????

I am SURE its "Hager"
1000000000000000000000000000% sure of that. Something that will BREAK the backs of the Repugs

LISA IT WOULD BE NICE,BUT I DONT O.B. IS SMART ENOUGH TO PICK HRC. HE IS TO STUCK ON HIMSELF.

it will be wesley clark.

Mr. Green and Mr. Greener are going to solve all of our problems.

I wonder who is going to answer the 3:00 am call?!!!

I'm a BO supporter. However, I don't think Kaine is a good pick. BO needs a more seasoned person as his running mate like Joe Biden or the guy from Texas.

Since the primaries, I've been turned off by the Clintons. Their sense of entitlement has really gone overboard. I'd like them to go away already. But I've started to wonder if BO shouldn't put her on the ticket as VP. The goal is to win.

I've seen the latest poll numbers. Is there any truth to them? I don't know of anyone personally who has been contacted. I've never been called.

There seems to be such a stark contrast between the poll numbers and BO's ability to fundraise. He is raising record amounts of money and has recently signed up his 2 millionth person. And the crowds that gather when he comes to town are always large numbers. When he came here to southern VA, people lined up for hours ahead of time just to get a good seat. Folks were taking off work, leaving early, etc just to hear him speak in person. All of the tickets have accounted for at the outside venue in Denver when he gives his acceptance speech. Something doesn't add up.

Tim Kaine is another joker like Obama. No experience whatsoever and no judgement. Barack has no judgment because he lacks experience.
No wonder the polls show that John McCain is gaining momentum. Thank God that American people can trust in John McCain's experience and judgment. I do not know what CNN and the liberal media has to say about it.

Obama's loss couldnt happen to a more deserving person. Thank goodness, American for the most part are very intelligent and cant be fooled with this stupid claim to change. Senator McCain is very intelligent with concise answers at the forum sat. night , and obama stuttered and um and ah, cant speak without a propmter. Go back to Chicago. Obama, you are not wanted.

With the recent revalation in their face that Obama is not qualified to lead, voters are starting to take note of the obvious , he can't handle the unimprovised questions in anyway with any skill insight or real relevant knowledge that are needed to run this counrty. Pity.. McCain is not only qualified by way of experience but he was able to demonstate that he has deep moral convictions, and learned a great deal about forgivness from being a POW, it's a reflection of his convictions, he was strong , relevant , confident and gave answers that were consice and detailed, he gave examples of solutions, he left Obama in the dust, and now Obama has suffered in loss of points, Can you weasel out of the abortion question? guess not. "It's above my pay grade?" what the hell does that mean?? …. Maybe running the country is above his pay grade as well.

Kaine brings NOTHING to the ticket. It had better be Hillary or we are going to lose - BIG.

Hillary Clinton will be a guaranteed win - so Obama needs to get over it and deal.

Bring out Hillary as the VP or risk losing it all.

I like the guy, but not enough juice for this round of VP. Bayh is the shoe in./

SAY NO TO THE OBAMA SHOW !

SAY NO TO THE OBAMA SHOW !

SAY NO TO THE OBAMA SHOW !
GO BECOME A RAPPER LIAR !

HE HAS NO SPINE SO HE WON'T DEFEND BABIES THAT SURVIVE ABORTIONS, HE SAID HE WOULD NOT SUPPORT THAT KIND OF LEGISLATION IN CHICAGO CAUSE IT WOULD PUT TO MUCH PRESSURE ON BLACK WOMEN ! EVEYTHING IS ABOUT RACE WITH HIM. AND IF HE WON'T DEFEND INNOCENT BABIES I DOUGHT HE HAS THE SPINE TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY !

Whoever he picks will be great. Obama is a smart man and will make a wise choice.

Obama/Anybody 08

By the Way, CNN! You can tell Mr Cafferty, I would so much-more enjoy a meal; with Hillary Clinton,,, That look at his face, across the table… She has a Mission… Jacko??????

Think about it this way. Kaine is arguably Obama's best campaigner that he has, and yet he doesn't have a speaking slot at the convention yet? Why not?

Trust me, if it's NOT Kaine, then it's someone we haven't heard mentioned.

… and I'm thinking it's Bayh - just bland and non-threatening enough!

You received a text today saying it would be hillary?! text from who?! No one else knows but you do? I hope it's NOT hillary, she's not to be trusted because she's only out for herself and her husband can't keep his mouth shut! Bad choice. I was hoping it would be Biden.

Don't you people get it yet? CNN and others do the polls to keep their ratings up. If it was a landslide one way or the other, no one would watch. MEDIA MIND GAMES

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Kaine for VP? That would be hilarious!

Obama count down and out!

McCain 08!

Obama gives us issues.

McCain gives us lies.

OBAMA 08

Yawn, this guy jacked up our taxes, so why would we vote for two people who want to raise our taxes even more? Duh…

The tide is turning since Corsi proved Barack Hussein is a Muslim—-
Americans will not have prayer rugs in the Oval office and we have no time to be facing Mecca 5 times a day—we're too busy running the country—

This is a great team!
Hope Obama is seriuosly considering this VP!

Obama O8

Let's get this party started!

Biden just said today he's not the guy, so it's either Bayh or this guy.

Not my personal favorite, but I'd go along with it if it helped Obama get a win.

Obama is going to pick Hillary, I received the text today!!

Hillary 08!

This is scary, I don't think I want Kaine. Who is he?
Obama/Kaine does not work to me.
