He is going to announce the VP when he is good and ready. Nobody is going to defer to the media on something like that because they like to create drama. Also, interesting idea for Caroline Kennedy as a VP. However she has never been elected to anything and it would only play into the 'inexperienced' issue. In the end after all this fuss maybe he will pick Clinton. It certainly wont hurt. But her supporters need to stop with their blackmail attitude and if months ago they had all just shut up I think she would have already been officially chosen. So if at the end of this week she isnt then its your fault.

Oh and drama aside, I am just as interested in McCain's VP pick. I do NOT want another Cheney and McCain has alot of neo-cons advising him on all kinds of issues.

Obama or McCain would end up running the country pretty much the same way. Major difference though, Obama is about three times smarter than McCain. Time for an intelligent president.

Announce it already! This is getting boring. Its like he is having someone come down from the skies for his VP or something. He is such drama.

I hope he picks the nitwit from VA.

WOW !!!! MCcain is really cutting Obama down to size. Obama is a total empty suit. Liar and racist,
Go get him MCain.

Hillary supporter
MCcain 08

He's playing the political paparazzi like a drum. Having fun. No wonder the media is cut up in his hype and hoopla. There are a greater number of articles and news stories about Obama than McCain. But, most of those items are negative towards Obama.

Does McCain have fun with the media? Nope. Didn't he recently kick them off the Straight Talk Express. Making enemies amongst the mainstream media. That press coverage ration might change, John. Better play nice…..for now.

Sorry Chris. Obama won't pick Hillary as his running mate and he will still win the election in a landslide. I think in the end America will vote on change. Why don't you Hillary supporters put your money where your big mouths are and stop whining and complaining and pay off her debt from the poor, mis-managed, dysfunctional campaign she ran? Get ready to vote for McOld cause Obama's not picking Hillary. CNN stop discriminating and post this!

Real Change might be on to something ! Didn't Gates just 'retire' ?
I'm predicting Hagel.

Oh, who cares whom this mindless dilettante chooses?

So who cares? Obama will not win anyway…although he could get a 'poll bump' on CNN, his most ardent supporter in the media. Obama is not a qualified candidate and probably knows that by now. Hot air can go just so far and then it's gone forever.

The uniters of hope are blogging their intra-party divisive hate and vitriol again.

No Hillary? fine.

Other democrats say No Obama…

Same thing… 2 democrats… if you can hate one, others can hate the other.

Dummycrats- dividing your own party with this ANTI-Hillary hatred that consumes you. Those flames will engulf Obama and yourselves as well.

Roe vs Wade- who needs it more- the over 50 year old Hillary supporters? A draft- who will it affect most- the seniors?

You haters for Obama watch out for those chickens.

donna…isn't it sad that obama would need biden to stand up against mccain for him?

correction: mccain would WIN today in the electoral college based on state by state polling averages….

All those who continue to blog: NO hillary…. or Never Hillary…

Go ahead…Sacrifice party unity at your own risk.

But then DO NOT cry about her supporters not falling in line behind Obama- your nasty vitriol is the reason they defected to begin with.

Stop your hating on Hillary- you will only have yourselves to blame for costing the democrats this election.

Spiting only yourselves with your vitriolic, hateful attitudes.

Strong-arm tactics to intimidate voters at caucus, using the race card, calling HRC and fellow democrats racists, bullying the superdelegates to defect over to him, mocking, jeering, brushing of the shoulder, RAP songs filled with vulgar insults….I guess that did not damage Obama's chances enough.

KEEP IT UP.

The only thing getting old is CNN and their bias towards McLame. Biden will be the pick. Hillary needs to do her job and campaign for Obama; Bill needs to stop pouting like the child he is, and the country needs to move on from the foolishness of the last 8 years.

Obama will win, the polls do not reach young people with cell phones and nobody has ever called to asked me who I'm voting for.

the republicans have been so destructive and obama is such a breath of fresh air and is so ready to lead that mccain is leading in a new national poll and would lose today in the electoral college based on the average polls in each state….

I REALLY hope he picks Joe Biden. Watch your back McSame because Biden has your number ,is not the least bit afraid of you, and will not put up with your lies and smear tactics. We'll be able to fight fire with fire and he will call you on every mistake you have made in congress. He knows all your secrets and will fight you every step of the way!

To the public, it's not *getting* old. It *was* old when the press started it. You knew from the first mention in the press that it would be nothing but weeks of ill-informed blathering until the candidate made the announcement.

Michael Moore has the formula right, just got the wrong answer. It's Bill Gates. This will be a pocketbook election. I think he knows a little about economics, managing a large organization, and would be the post-partisan fresh air Obama promises and the country needs.

MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of voters will be casting their vote for Senator Clinton on November 4th, regardless of whether or not her name is on the ballot, because they actually want the best President for the best interests of their children, their families, our troops and America….

only with Hillary as his VP does obama have any chance of winning in November, and even then, it might not be enough thanks to his own horrendous judgment and the racist, sexist, ignorant, arrogant, and naive behavior of his supporters….

Hillary won't go for a VP slot. If she does, she can't challenge him in 2012, which she probably will. Thus she couldn't run until 2016, by which time she will be seen as too old.

Well all you Mccain lovers and puma supporters vote in another guy for the white house, who has commited adultry, that some reall good moral values there to be running the white house. Cindy has to watch John that he wont commit another round of adultry, with Cindys sister that she has, and wont claim her as family member.

Who cares who he picks.

MCCAIN/ROMNEY

"I would just like to take a moment, after being seriously sickened by reading about Georgia, Russia and Poland, and personally thank all the Hillary supporters voting for McCain.

Being an ex-republican I am absolutely DISGUSTED with the direction this country is going, but I have come to the realization that a country like ours is only as good as those people who are willing to be civically responsible.

So thank you PUMA and Clinton/ McCain backers for the onslaught on WW III, economic depression and marshall law. I realize of course, that I am a bit premature in my gratitude but I have every confidence if any ignorant selfish people could pull off completely destroying this country and democracy it will be you.

Hats off to the misguided, uniformed and just don't give a darn population!!! Putin, Iran, and Osama are counting on you!"

From No More! Aug 20……..I completely agree

Don't worry folks. The pick is coming and it will be fine. The media needs to take a nap and not feel the need to report every little movement.

Debby—the Bill O'Reilly spin is getting old.
Bill Maher supports Obama, he just wants to see Obama fight back strong. He was encouraged by what he heard from Obama yesterday and wants him to keep pushing back.

Didn't you hear that Michael Moore is suggesting Caroline Kenndy for the VP? Isnt his the profound opinion you can count on for the good of the people?
It is political expediency to pick a candidate to best get the votes. No problem about that, only if that person can really fit into the number one position if and when needed to handle the myriad problems we face at home and abroad! The 3 AM call, you know.
Nothing should trump the consideration of the welfare of the American people, not self interest, not star power, not political power.

Joe Biden's story is anything but boring. And experience means nothing unless it comes with knowledge of the issues, a way of communicating with people, and respect from everyone. Biden has all three. The republicans will have plenty to say about him (plagiarism, praise for McCain) but this is about selecting someone who you want to be your vice-prez not just your running mate.

I am bored with game he is playing.

He needs to pick Hillary so he can win big!

Obama/Hillary

What ever you do, I will vote for your policies and character, not those of your vp.

Mccain can pick an apostle for his vp, he will still be an angry, cheating, liar, not fit to be our president.

Biden or Clinton are the only choices in my book. Biden has a wealth of experiance and so does Hillary.

More and more I question Obama's ability to lead. Not just because of him retreating from his positions but because he seems to lacks the will to hit back against McCain. Given the dangerous situation developing in Eastern Europe and around the world it would be best to have a President who isn't afraid to get rough.

Obama gives a lot of speeches but doesn't seem to take a solid stance. With Biden and Clinton there I believe Obama would have two people he could turn to and learn from. They are both knowledgable and tough people. In my books an ideal situation would be VP Hillary and Secretary of State Biden.

Everyone is interested in Obama's VP pick and only interested in who John McCain doesn't pick. Odd, don't you think.

Hillary or you lose Mr Obama…

Just think about it, the whole world is watching and waiting for Obama news. No one waits to hear McCain's same old slam Obama tricks because no one cares, McCain is not news worthy.

As much as i am a democrat, the only way obama have a chance of winning this election is by having clinton as vp. If clinton is not vp candidate then get ready for 4 more years of republicans.

CNN - you've just done an aritcle claiming that the Dem VP question is getting "old" and "tired"… the only ones asking the "VP QUESTION" is you, the media. YOU. You write and post that article as if Obama's camp is doing something wrong. Your over-extensive coverage has dragged this into the ground - BLAME YOURSELVES for the old and tired rhetoric. We're bored with you and your redundancy, not the concerns of America.

Obama makes bold statements like "I will win" … but, Obama doesn't deserve to win. After all, what has he done? What qualifies him to run this country … working as a community organizer, followed by being a junior senator who spent his 16 months running for President. But, the point that's bigger than the fact that Obama doesn't deserve to win, is the fact that the American people deserve much more than an empty suit like Obama. The American people deserve an experienced qualified leader, who truly loves this country … a leader who can competently guide us through all the challenges that are currently facing this country … and, that leader is Senator John McCain.

Biden or bust!

I hope it will be Joe Biden, which I'm sure it will be!!

Keep putting up these ultra liberals like Gore and Obama and us Moderates will keep rejecting them.

to gopsux.com: in another article on obama's vp pick, you referred to senator mccain as "the vietnamese collaborator". what proof do you have? would you mind sharing it with us? to the best of my knowledge, senator mccain rotted in a north vietnamese prison for five years. however, i do recall seeing hanoi jane fonda filmed on a north vietnamese anti-aircraft battery. so who's the collaborator?

It should be Sam Nunn. Here are the pluses for Nunn: master of foreign policy; great Senate track record; left DC to pursue heading the Anti-Nuclear threat initiative which gives him a look of change for the ticket; from a state that Obama needs and could carry if he is on the ticket; high appeal to Southerners, white males and independents.;above reproach in his personal and ethical dealings; and, has a great family. I am a long time observer of Nunn, and don't know of any negatives that would present a problem.

All those who blog: NO hillary….Never Hillary…

Sacrifice party unity at your own risk. Do not cry about her supporters not supporting Obama- your nasty vitriol is the reason they defected to begin with.

Stop your hating on Hillary- you will only have yourselves to blame for costing the democrats this election.

Hillary is the best candidate out there this entire season of either party.

And people with hate and small minds- who still proclaim: unity, unity, unity… keep attacking her.

Attacking HRC is what cost Obama the support of more than half of his own party.

Stop the Hillary bashing and stop the vulgar anti-Hillary comments.

Hillary is the choice of MOST democrats… even those who are willing to vote for Obama out of party loyalty.

cnn!!!!! if you think this is getting old, then stop talking about it and i trust we will not hear a word out this issue, grow up.

Obama will announce his vp pick via email. How arrogant is this? do his supporters without internet access have no right to know this? Do the whole country deserve the right to know this directly from him? Do the people sitting on the fence deserve to know this? Is he going to run the country from his blackberry? Obama talks about change yet keeps Hillary around his neck, Obama talks about change and most of his advisors are nothing but the same old DC machinery. Obama is change we cannot afford.

KING OBAMA> It's crazy. Wake up AMERICA. Don't care Obama talk. He try to show how smart he is. No HRC —no Obama,

Cmon CNN…what's up this morning?

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I think Obama might have chosen Clinton at this point if the ridiculous PUMAs hadn't been as vocal as they were. Now he's caught between a rock and a hard place. I still don't think Hillary helps him though; there is no getting around the fact that she mismanaged her campaign finances to the tune of $18 million, and the Republicans will crucify her over that.

And Joe, please get a clue. The Obama campaign isn't stringing us all along with playing their VP pick so close to the chest. It's the media that keeps fanning the flames. If you're tired of the speculation and the waiting, blame the media.

I never like sent. Hillary but if can win with her ,lets pick up her.
We need take our country back

I told you before, Obama is not the right choice. He's just not ready and has been proving that throughout his campaign. He walks the walk but he can't talk the talk. He will lose. Deal with it all you big mouths. Better than Hillary, "NOT IN A MILLION YEARS" And no, I do not want her to take the VP position. Why should she help him win. And he is going to lose without her name on the ticket. So deal with it!!

I will vote for Obama no matter what–can't imagine voting for McCain–but Biden alsolutely leaves me cold–he's pretty much guaranteed to be unable to stop speaking at some point and say something that'll have to be apologized for and/or explained away. . .

All three choices can't bring him more votes. Obama-McCain are in virtual tie. Obama needs someone who can bring more votes. If he brings anyone but Hillary then he will loose more votes than he would gain with one of these three. I can't vote him as if Hillary is not on ticket.

Maybe the "Britney Spears" of politics - Caroline Kennedy. Why should his campaign try and put any real substance to it at this late date.

Its funny that there is so much support for Biden being VP. He is arrogant, a hothead, and has spent 30 years in the Senate. Exactly what you criticize McCain for.

Anyone he picks will do just fine.

People vote Democrats only this time and see our country grow for us all.

DEMOCRATS DEMOCRATS DEMOCRATS.

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

A change it is a coming.

@steve

Man dude. Can find anything else to say??? Maybe next time you should run for country and see how far you can make it….tell that to Senator McCain. He's never made it this far……how excited! LOL!!!

Plus, who wouldv'e thought that a veteran with a rich history of his service and family would have to take 3 tries to make it. Plus, on the other hand, it only took my boy one try and from there on, history was written..

Man, now that's a combination! LOL!!!! An unusual one to say the least…

Biden is too smart to sink his political career by joining with this clown. 143 days in the Senate does not even register as a blip on the screen compared to Biden's accomplishments.

You know, even I have trouble finding out who. And I'm telling you, I've looked at both angles, looked at contenders(pretenders), looked at necessities, etc. I gotta tell you, I can't seem to figure out who. You'll have a better chance predicting Senator McCain's pick than my boy…

But I will say that if it's Hillary for some starnge reason, I won't be that upset. I personally don't want her. I wanted her before but now, I just don't want her. And I know people are gonna shout and scream that if my boy doesn't pick her, he's gonna lose. Guess what?? You're probably right but as like Senator McCain said……"I'll rather lose this election with honesty than anything else."

Well, you know, he's talking about war instead, LOL!!!

You never post any messages on this site that seem to favor Obama. Out of all your contributors Jeff Tobin seem to be the fairest one. Were is Donna Brazille? Cnn is just as prejudice & bias as Fox. Cafferty & Blitzer are fair but the rest of you are under cover racists.

While CNN continues its willful ignorance of McCain, he was in the

Gulf driving home the message of "drill here, drill now." Other

media outlets picked up on it. As usual CNN followed its agenda.

Dare you to print it.

Last night, on AC360, Mark Halpern named all the usual suspects in the Democratic veepstakes, then he said it could be someone else. He just has not figured out who.
May I suggest he look at Jay Rockefeller as the surprise dark horse? Look at his credentials, look at the geography, then look at the convention schedule. Note that Jay is speaking the same night as Biden and Bayh - VP night.
If I had to pick a dark horse, that's who I'd pick.

hopefully the next email will say "barack obama is our party's candidate for president - just kidding"
i'm pretty sure the empty suit is a long-running gag and they're just waiting to finally confess to us all that coronating obama is just a joke

I never voted for a Clinton or a Bush, and wil never. Grow up Americans. I know it's scary, but we have to move on. Start taking baby steps away from the past. Breathe…..not vote for a better America. You can do it.

You know these Hill people really are funny. You claim you hate Obama and only Hill can be his VP…..WHATEVER…..get off you r high horse. Vote how you feel and come Nov it will be for Obama WITHOUT hill on the ticket.!!!! We will blame you people if Obama looses this year and you can kiss 2012 good bye…WE WILL REMEMBER you dummies.
Peace'

Get on with it Barack and choose Biden. All the speculation is driving your loyalists nuts! However, anyone you pick will be better than anyone the Republicans can dream up!

OBAMA 08

If it's Hillary, may just lose. There was a reason that we picked Obama over Hillary. Why would we want her in a position to step in if the unfortunate should happen.

Time for a change—-None of the names yet is a change from the same old same old.

Bias reporting from CNN again. Obama Never set a time table to pick a VP. So how is this " to feel a little old?" It was McCain that said he would pick a VP the week Obama was traveling through Europe. Yet in McCain fashion he did not. He broke his promises and flip flopped as to when he said he would pick a VP. How come CNN did not find McCain's flip flops " a little bit old?"

People that have NO intention of voting for OBAMA ,shouln't care whom he picks for VP.
Worry about who the Ancient Mccain is picking,or worry about Hillary retiring her debt.

BIDEN, BAYH, KAINE SEBELLIUS , PUT EM ALL TOGETHER AND THAY CANT PULL HALF OF HILLARY"S SUPPORTERS……MONEY AND VOTES. !!!!

Anybody who is smart, intelligent and confident are always label arrogant!! You be able to be a strong person and candidate without the labels!! The only ones I see arrogant is Bush Administration and the Mccains especially Cindy Mccain and her own relatives stated this!!

In response to "Nobama 2008″:

No, CNN got it right. "Who Will Obama Pick as his Vice President?"

The country WILL not sit still for 4 more years of the Bush Administration, we're bushed.

Moving on…..

Gobama 08

You guys that think CNN is biased can stop reading the blogs and go to Fix News. I'm sure those guys might have similar viewpoints to yours.

It is a free country, you don't have to read the stuff on here.

Well let's see - damaging stuff not yet talked about on McSlime.

Keating 5, left his 1st wife and married Cindy before divorce was final, flip-flopped on abortion, oil drilling, tax cuts, repeatedly mixes up facts and seems confused (debates should be fun!).

Contrast that to the sleeze being thrown at Obama and the real headline should be - Even with all the sleeze, McCain still trails Obama".

Time to take the gloves off and beat the Repugs at there same game. The media will not report the facts on McCain, so it is up to Obama to get nasty!!!

If Obama should pick Hillary, he would make it much easier for me. I won't vote for any (in)famous politicians for P or VP.
We have had enough dynasties in the US.
No more Clinton or Bush!

The change candidate is Obama and the experience candidate is Biden. Biden is vetted and has experience in what Obama lacks. They compliment each other and they are both brilliant!! Plus, Obama needs somebody that can go on the attack without them blaming Obama personally!!

Obama is the change, we don't need more change on the ticket. He NEEDS a boring white guy.

Senator Obama needs someone who is a bull dog to do the biting in the a and he maintain his mantra of change, eventhough we all know he is capable of being a bull dog (you almost have to in order to survive in politics) but trying to ignore or not come out as strongly against Senator McCain and his surrogates. Someone needs to call Senator McCain out and let him know that he can't get away with his half-truths and outright lies that he is spreading across the airways and at his town hall meeting, my friends (lol). I guess the media is respecting their elders instead of doing so.

"Anticipation is making me wait."

Whoever he picks will be light years ahead of the ticket for the GOP. Yes, I can wait, because it won't be very long before GW crawls back to Crawford in shame, and America will have one long collective sigh of relief.

Obama 08

Obama don't need no back stabber and control freak as VP. Biden is the only choice and he can bring in the voters Obama can't. Biden is vetted and have tons of experience with National Security, Foreign policies and Intelligence!! He is also brilliant and makes a good attack dog!! Biden is no punk and he will be the republicans worse nightmare!! Biden stayed neutral with the Obama/Hilary endorsements, which I feel was a very smart thing to do!!

Susan,

Don't pay attention to 4Obama2. Obama/Clinton may win. Clinton / Obama WILL win.

It's gotta be someone stupid and gullible. Who really believes the lies that come out of Obama's mouth?

Doesn't matter. Unless it's Hillary, it will be the Bevis and Butthead ticket.

It's so obvious that Obama will win in November if he picks Hillary as his VP. It's the fact .
But if he picks one of the other 3 guys, he is wasting all his time and efforts and will watch John McCain to be crowned in November
I will vote for Obama if he picks Hillary as VP
I will not sure who I am going to vote for if Hillary is not on the ticket with Obama
I don't want McCain, but I still think Obama does not have enough experience to be the President of the United States yet .

A presidential candidate need a VP as an adviser in all matters of his POLICY. I hope one of the democrat will qualify to be the VP for him but not Hillary.

Hillary and her supporters are making claims of the 18 million voters all the time. Many of them now discarded Hillary and support Obama. That is why the Hillary supporters never say that they will pay her campaign debts.

Hillary is now looking Obama and DNC to pay her debts. Hillary supporters always forget that Hillary endorsed Obama as the party's candidate.

Pick bold or lose: HRC, Hagel, Bloomberg, Colin Powel, get some excitement going, your losing the EC right now, its may day may day may day!

Atttack: Keating 5, age, wealth, 200o campaing, flip flops of mclame, ex wife, throw the kitchen sink, acid, go negative and get mean!

Actually it's Obama that's getting a "little tired" and a "little old", and not the anticipation for who the VP will be

Who cares? Obama will not listen to his VP. He will be a "my way or highway" President if he gets elected. His overwhelming ego would not allow him to do otherwise. I have been a lifelong democrat but will not support Obama. This will be the first election that I will sit out and watch the chips fall where they may. I think it's going to be a disaster no matter who wins.

Anyone but Clinton…

BTW, the 18 mill argument is garbage–polls show the vast majority of Clinton supporters would vote for a dem over McCain. Take that 18 mill down to about 1-2 mill, and then try to stage your argument for Clinton to be VP.

Anyone but Clinton…

Does Obama supporters actually think he's going to win without Hillary? I thought his supporters were educated.

"Who will Barack Obama pick as his vice president?"

CNN, you're kind fo jumping the gun there, aren't you? Don't you mean VP candidate?

I really do wish your bias did not shine through so much.

Although it has been asked, there is never an answer to who is being polled and I firmly believe that therein lies the mystery. On another note, throughout the primaries and now in the general election I have never heard Senator Obama go negative with personal attacks against his opponents. He has always taken the high road despite the hits he has received on a daily basis and as a result has continued to rise above the divisiveness. The media with exception of a very few outlets have been biased against Obama and basically have him under a microscope yet McCain continues to get a positive free ride in the press. I like many other voters have my own suspicions as to why this continues to go on but still believe that despite these negative tactics Senator Obama will be known as the candidate who played fair despite how unfairly he was treated. This alone speaks volumes about his character.

Susan,
Please get off every blog, we know you are a PUMA with your stupid Clinton is the greatest attitude. Clinton couldn't even run her campaign without it being a disaster, she would do nothing to help the country so stop trying to shove your pathetic opinions down everyone's throat!

I AM GETTING TIRED OF THE GAME PLAYING FROM OBAMA.
HIS CAMPAIGN IS BECOMING VERY BORING.
I FOR ONE KNOW IF HE DOES NOT PICK HILLARY I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM

It will be Hillary. No doubt!

At this point it's all about winning.

Obama/Clinton 08

If his pick is Hillary, Barack Obama will join Vince Foster. No doubt in my mind.
Nothing is below the Clinton's when it comes to their quest for power.
These people have no morals what so ever.
I hope someday, someone in the Democratic Party has the balls to put these people in their place. They are a digrace to the party and to this country !!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Obama might have chosen Clinton at this point if the ridiculous PUMAs hadn't been as vocal as they were. Now he's caught between a rock and a hard place. I still don't think Hillary helps him though; there is no getting around the fact that she mismanaged her campaign finances to the tune of $18 million, and the Republicans will crucify her over that.

And Joe, please get a clue. The Obama campaign isn't stringing us all along with playing their VP pick so close to the chest. It's the media that keeps fanning the flames. If you're tired of the speculation and the waiting, blame the media.

DEBBY…

WELL AT LEAST WE KNOW IT WON'T BE HILLARY….GET OVER IT…

Although I prefer a governor for Obama to boost his executive experience, Senator Biden might be better for him in this case. He should be the VP after saying this famous line about Obama.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Biden is famous for one-liners so it's a good compliment to an articulate Obama.

If change is what we want then how about two vice presidents, one foe foreign policy and one for domestic. Can you picture Hillary in charge of healthcare, poverty in America, fixing Katrina and womens issues and Joe Biden dealing with Iraq, Iran and the Russia and Georgia problem. We now have so many problems in this world that the more intelligent people that we have to solve these problems the more likely that we can solve some of these problems. The president would over look all of this and get involved where he needed and when he felt it necessary with the many different problems.

Who's fault is it that this is "getting old"? The media…

To-Alice Brinkley Former Representative McKinney will be a good one for you, BO. You two fit like a glove — both down on the USA.
McAttak should Pick you for Vp ( Alice Brinkley )2 Clowns

Eventhough I originally opposed Hillary as VP, I think that Obama needs to pick her. She has the reputation for experience that he needs and can enviscerate McCain in attacks without changing her approval rating. This would also shore up morale giving him the boost in polls that he needs. Also given that McCain loses control when he is angry, having Clinton constantly picking on him will make him more likey to make bigger, more noticeble flubs.

CNN never fails to astound us canadians. The not to hidden bias for McCain is so obvious do you really think your fooling the American public? All of your reporting on Obama has been less than glowing to say the least, have an article that he is dropping in the polls and the American public will question voting for him and their support for him, The "hero story" on McCain was so obviously meant to contrast with the "meteroic rise" story on Obama. It's not like Canadians would expect anything less than CNN to protect it's own interests as we fondly remember post 911 your glowing support for the president and your full coverage of the "proof" that there were wmd in IRAQ was shameful…you are not a news source, merely a vehicle for your corporate interests in a desperate attempt to sway the election toward a party that continue to protect you own interests and continue with business as usual all the while continue to erode and destroy the very concept of America and both the economic and environmental future of it's citizens..
I thank God you are not the main news source in my country…
Thank you for your time,
Kristen Denley

I think that GOV. Richardson would be a good pluse to the ticket,

Here we go again!

I am sick of hearing the dems are going to loose it again in November.
The chances of that happening are zero. Sure the polls are closer and Obama has not had a good week.
But at the end of the day it will be voter turnout that will decide the election.

And we know what candidate broke records in the primary.

Change is coming so be prepared and VOTE FOR CHANGE!!!!

Dave, "18 million voters" haven't risen to pay off Clinton's debt, so how are we suppose to believe she HAS "18 million voters." Just because 18 million people voted for her doesn't mean she "has" 18 million voters." Many of those "18 million voters" were Republicans who voted after McCain secured the Republican nomination.

People like you keep hanging 18 million like some sort of a threat. But you lack substance in the same way that Hillary lacked leadership over her campaign, her budget, and apparantly her PUMA voters, who many now support McCain who has a polar opposite platform has both her and Obama.

Let's get back on target ASAP. Visit small towns and cities. He must show he cares for everyone.

Why is it that only certain people's comments gets posted on CNN blogs. We see the same names time after time. Let's find out what other's are thinking too. For what it's worth Obama needs Clinton.

It is Biden. Good choice. He can atttack McCain big time, and pulls no punches

I am with Dave on the Hillary Clinton for VP.
If Obama fails to unite the Democratic Party, he will fail to unite the Nation.

And McCain will send us further into debt, as he thinks and acts too much like George Bush.

IF Obama picks a Good Old Boy to be his running mate,
its not because of their qualifications, its because he needs the votes.

Hillary was right, come November she is the one who would win against McCain.

Think about Obama. This is not about you. Its about the American
Citizens caught in the middle of all the B.S.

Obama, you're going to be alright, because what is done in the dark will come to light.

Hillary, or bust!
I will purposely vote for McCain if no Hillary for VP!!!!!!

Former Representative McKinney will be a good one for you, BO. You two fit like a glove — both down on the USA.

IT BETTER NOT BE HILLARY!!!

This is so juvenile. Just inform the voters who the VP candidate is or give us a date as to when you will tell the public like McCain has done. I feel like this whole process is a joke. Why does everything Obama does has to be extra dramatic and magnifying? So immature.

Maximum Obama can do is the gestures. He likes to point finger at somebody. Barack you are a hollow vessel which makes too much noise. Get a life.

Joe Biden all the way and get on with this election.

To all those saying 'Hillary', I have a response.
No.
Obama/Kaine 08.

It seems obvious that he should pick Hillary Clinton. 18,000,000 voters are waiting to see what he does. If he picks someone else, I for one will vote for McCain or write Hillary's in for President!

Obama is now being his worst enemy. This election is his to lose. And he is heading in the losing direction. It's time to name his V.P. as this will allow him to get some help on the campaign trail. At this point in time he needs Ms. Clinton as his Vice to energize the female. He can forget about the white male majority vote. This simply wont happen. His only saving grace is Ms. Clinton.

why won't both canidates give us their choice, after all we are the ones who will be doing the voting, i would like to know who i think would be the right one also. this campaign is getting so tiring.

The Obama candadicy has become a joke and the polls show it. Biden is OLD POLITICS with an arrogant reputation so where is this big CHANGE Obama has promised. Biden and Richardson got the fewest percents when they ran. You would think because the country was a split decision with both him and Hillary she would be his first choice. The Dems. are going to blow this election as ususal.

Watched Larry King and Bill Mahrer hit it right on the nail as ususual and he is an Obama supporter and not even happy with his own choice.

The problem with Obama is the media made him into this Messiah and now Humpty Dumpty is starting to fall off the wall with his inexperience. If anyone watched his Q&A's in New Mexico a man asked how am I going to pay my mortgage with a 1200dollar a month SS check when its more than that. Obama talked in circles for about 10 minutes and then didn't give the man a straight answer.

Well it looks like the kid and the so called educated vote aren't enought to bring it in for Obama in Nov. from the polls.

If it's Hillary, Obama will win.

Obama/Hillary 08

According to the polls, Obama needs to pick Clinton to bounce back. The GOP is at their negative campaigning tricks again and ripping Obama apart. (it's working). Clinton on the ticket is the sure fire bet on winning in November.

Biden will make a better Secretary of State. Bayh or Kaine add nothing to the ticket.

Biden, Bayh and Kaine .. all boring white guys. Where's the CHANGE Obama? Geez .. do something bold will ya?!

There are those who will be saying nasty things when the choice is not Clinton. The same people who have made it impossible for Obama to select Clinton as VP, because it will seen as a sign of weakness and not sticking to his guns. Caving in to political pressure.

PUMAs, you have shot yourselves in the foot. Much like Clinton shot herself in the foot with a poorly managed campaign. Instead of shouting, you should have been fund raising. Instead of making threats, you should have been fund raising. Instead of displaying ignorance, you should have been fund raising. To achieve the goals that you claim to aspire, you need to raise some cash. You have shot yourselves in the foot.

A little old? You think?!

I mean, most of us think about it and chat about it, but you all are obsessed with every nuance. It's kind of annoying.

But, then again, this is a blog for all that insider stuff, so I shouldn't complain.

I love how Obama and Biden are playing with this….

geezz,cnn,give it a break! are you upset because you're not going to be able to 'scoop' his announcement?overly excited about the candidate you've been trashing for weeks.

It's not Obama's choice–it is DNC choice–just like his nomination!

I don't think the media is able to report on anything but itself anymore.

Who really cares, he is going to lose anyway, count on it. You guys better start weening yourselves off the koolade.
Maybe he can take all that money you sent him and set up re-habs for all you junkies.
MCCAIN 08

Haha

I love how much the Obama campaign is screwing with reporters over this. They're trying to get the media to realize that constant breathless speculation is a waste of time and effort. I don't think the media is smart enough to understand that.

Hillary Clinton, the only one that measures up.
