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. Is there any reason former Sen. Bob Graham of Florida has not been mentioned?

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.

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. False about Biden.

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. I am a Obama supporter i dont care what any poll says.

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.

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).
