Republicans need to stop pretending to be Hillary supporters.

Obama made a smart choice in not picking Ms. "Intitled"!!!

Does anyone else wish it were Biden/Obama?

Uhhh…Lisa. You can't write in a Vice Presidential candidate. They call it a 'ticket' because you have to vote for both or neither.
I hope you do more homework before you actually vote for who will be my next president.

A Senator with more negative comments about Obama than McCain = Biden. Not to mention that Biden got " the most important" decision wrong.

Most importantly if this happens - the Democratic ticket looks backwards. The experience needs to be at the top of the ticket.

Whatta ya know, Joe?
Apparently, quite a lot.
Take care not to show up your running mate
While coverin' the number two spot.

Oh please! Biden is as old as McCain! This is change????
I don't think so…. politics as usual. You Obamafans just don't get it do you? He's a career politician!!!! Biden AND Obama! How's that 'change' gonna work out for you? It's not. Obama is lame. He's a joke.

Biden is one of the few people that would make me strongly consider voting Obama. Joe has a great record of public service and was my choice to be our next president.

Obama/Biden the winning team.

Haha if it is Biden the Repubs are drooling and doing the happy dance…They have so much to attack Biden on its gonna be a feast…I cant wait till Mccain mops the floor with Nobama! GO MCCAIN

Two pompous pricks, both full of themselves - great combination.

How about Hillary for Secretary of Health?
That would give her the opportunity to finally implement the much needed Health care reform that she and Bill always promised, but were never able to deliver on. With Obama in the White Hose and a Democrat Senate and Congress, it could happen now and she could take the credit.
Would you diehard Hillary supporters really prefer more Republican incompetence and corruption over the next for years, rather than an Obama administraton that included the Clintons?

HOW THE HELL IS OBAMA GOING TO REPRESENT "CHANGE" WITH THAT WASHINGTON INSIDER BIDEN ON THE TICKET???.

SAY HELLO TO MCCAIN 'O8 AND HILLARY '12

If Biden is the pick, well, I know people who will be happy, but I don't see it as helping win, and that's the only criterion I have for a VP pick.

Stop yelping all you jackals!!!
It is all about Barack Obama and his dreams for America. Go for it whoever he picks as his vice president. He will choose the man.
Obama 08!!

What's with all these bashers of Senator Obama? You are filled with so much hatred and arrogance, its just amazing. It really is putting me off your party.

Biden is the choice as Clinton is out…

end of the suspense

Evan,

I just spent the last 8 years on the moon and the earth looks just stunning from there. You get this wonderfull clarity. You should try it some time.
I had to mail my 2004 ballot with my vote for Bush the day after both Bush and Kerry were officially nominated, mail takes a long time from the moon.
I'm back on Earth now though, now internet connection on the moon.

wish they would really rock the vote and pick Al Gore, too bad

He can kiss my vote "hello" if Hillary is not chosen!!

I am so excited! I don't think I am going able to sleep tonight. This is going to be the best week ever!!!!!!
Obama 08/12

OH NO!

I had a lot of money and credibility riding on it being Bayh or Kaine!

They would be much better choices than the prolix and "articulate" Biden!

Go ahead and write in Hillary's name and waste your vote. It'll be counted as other and won;t matter anyway. Go ahead and vote McCain, you know you want to anyway. I don't think even HRC on the ticket would have changed your minds.

I'd love to see you 'ballot writers' figure out how to write-in on a voting machine.

No threats for VP from you closet repubs.

now it is time to go to bed. i am glad it is Biden. see you all in the morning. this team will be formidable one. Obama will continue his positive , civil message. Biden will chew McCain like a paper shredder.

3am and the next VP is…………………………………………..please Biden

Obama can kiss my vote goodbye if he doesn't pick Hillary Clinton. I will be writing her name on the ballot in November.

If the choice is Biden, it is an outstanding choice ! There is no one better suited to step in and boost Obama's campaign than Joe Biden………………..He will really take it to the republicans big time !

NO VOTE FROM ME FOR OBAMA/WHOEVER

Hopefully this means something. I hope it will be Biden, he would bring experience to the ticket and would crush McCain into the ground. Bill Richardson would be a good choice. But I just hope he won't choose Sebelius, that would be a automatic loss of all Clinton votes, cause they would be like, if a women, why not hillary? And where did this Chet Edwards guy come from? He wasn't on the short list until today. But since Obama made his choice I will respect who it is.

Barack Obama
Joe Biden
2008

Mr Biden ran a spirited campaign and knew when it was time to get out. He got out and did not employ the slash and burn technique like someone else we know of.

I hope his choice is Biden…Hillary folks need to remember this is Obama's choice in spite of what anyone may think through out the primaries and the general, Obama has run an outstanding campaign compared to Hillary or McCain. This let's us know how he would manage being the President. Everyone needs to stay focus on the big picture and stop the bickering. This should be about uniting and regaining the WH.

this is sooo… exciting no excitment for Mcrichy rich. OBAMA"08″

I am so excited. I heard from a friend of a friend that knows one of the campaign voluteers that get's Obama his morning tea that Obama intends on announcing HIMSELF AS VP . . . IT'S AN OBAMA/OBAMA TICKET . . . he does walk on water . . . doesn't he.

Vote McCain in 2008

I love this pick if it's true. It's time for a pit bull and that's definitely up Biden's alley. And I especially love how angry this will make the Hillary crowd. Keep up your crowing about not voting, or even better voting against your own best interests out of spite. Every time you people moan about it, it proves that the right person truly did get the nod. We've spent 8 years listening to morons like you, just from the other end of the spectrum. We don't need 4 more. The soap opera is over you spoiled brats. Time to turn the channel on you.

Biden is an old school politician who's run for President twice and didn't get enough votes in either set of primaries to get elected dog catcher. What does he add to the new politics the Obama promotes? Oh, thats right, promoting is only a marketing thing that has no basis in fact. He'll fit right in.

blah… oh well i guess it's better that he loses, that way Hillary can have another shot in 2012, seriously, democrats are so stupid for choosing Obama,,,, they should be winning by more than 10 percentage points by now

If it is Biden with Obama and Romney is with McCain, Biden will tear Romney's plastic head off in the debate.

Obama/Biden 08

One House - One Spouse

Can't wait for the change !

cnn talking points is biden said obama has little experiance hillary hooray her in mccain during the primarys. obama 08

Biden has more experience than Clinton, so what's wrong with that? A VP must be ready to serve as President, if needed. Biden is well-qualified. How can you argue that Clinton would be a better VP? It's less about earning votes, more about qualification.

who cares who Obama's running mate will be. Nothing could make
Obama a good president.

Not picking Hillary will be an insight into what may be his total ineptitude. It will also secure McCains vote from me!

Gotta hand to The Bama–he's proving to be a media maestro that way he's orchestrating this…a promising trait to be sure and once again showing more finess than Mac Kane.

A 3:00 a.m. text message might be viewed in poor taste if the choice ISN'T Clinton, since she made a point of being available at that time in case of an emergency. The Obama camp would be making a point, yet risks alienating Clinton supporters.

How can someone that believes in Democrat policies and principles, want to vote for McCain, if Hillary is not chosen ?? What does that tell you about yourself? Really, it doesn't make sense, does it ? If Hillary is the person you think she is , she will agree with me !! Is she voting for McCain ? Get real will ya?

I have received a text mesagge from Obama. Here is the text:

-My VP is Biden….

Then I received another text message saying:

- I will lost the november 2008 election!

Mitt out spent McCain 2 to 1 in the primary too but lost. Obama is doing the same thing and losing.

People just have to see McCain a couple of time to recognize he is the real deal and no amount of negative ads will change peoples minds. Obama can spend all the money he wants, but McCain is mainstream America.

Isn't Biden too OLD??? Yap he is!

obama/biden-08 2012

Obama/Biden 2008

Doing a happy dance in anticipation!!!

If the VP nominee is Joe Biden, old man McCain may need smelling salts. The VP nominee will be the attack dog and McCain will be shredded to pieces. McCain won't know what hit him, which means McCain will keep taking the weekends off to recuperate.

I can't believe he made us wait all week for Joe Biden. Yawn. What a gimmick, and the media have nothing better to do than fall all over him. Even less can I believe his treatment of Hillary. It's really all disgusting. I like Obama alot, but what respect I had for him as a candidate is gone. This is one in 18 million whose come to the difficult conclusion that McCain is the choice in '08. Obama's window of opportunity to gain our trust has slammed shut. He thinks he can win without Hillary; he has no one to blame but himself if he can't pull it off. What arrogance.

I want to know why no one seems to think that it is news worthy to report on Cindy McCain’s lie about being an only child. There have been reports on Obama and his half brother in Kenya, however no stories on Cindy and John McCain’s black balling her sister who lives here in the U.S. She has been interviewed on talk Radio confirming that she was not invited to her father’s funeral and would NOT vote for her own brother-in-law. Despite all you have reported about her helping charities, she gave her sister $10,000 from a multi-million dollar inheritance from their father! Is the media discriminating? Seems like it to me!

Biden is the best pick. He is outspoken, tough, tested and would be a great voice inside and outside the White House. He brings in some Clinton voters, independents, Catholic voters and all in all I think Biden knows that if he ever wants to be President this is probably a smart move. I just cannot wait to see him on the stump because John McCain will get his head handed to him by the hour. Lindsey Gramm and Fox-hole Joe Turncoat will get their lumps too. Biden was my first choice in the early primaries so having him as the Veep is just going to be great.

Thrilled it will not be Hillary!! She lost more voters with her nasty campaigning….now she has these rabid females screwing anything they can!

RJ, it's a well known fact that AOL is the IP choice of the right wing, so I take any "poll" they do there with not just a grain of salt, but with an entire dump truck load of it.

Flurry? Really CNN? Maybe he wanted his children over because his son is leaving for Iraq or maybe they were having dinner and needed and escort because of the media/papparzzi surrounding his home.

For the record, since NO ONE seems to report this correctly, Sen. Biden is from Greenville, DE which is much different than bang bang shoot em dead Wilmington.

Delaware couldn't be prouder!

So Obama chose the safe candidate. BORING.

I wish he had the guts to chose Hillary as VP. That would have been real change.

tHIS IS BIGGER THAN OBAMA AND HILLARY, THATS WHY I DONT CARE WHAT HILLARY SAYS OBAMA WAS SUCH A SCUMBAG TO HER AND THE MEDIA SUCKIN HIM OFF LIKE THAT WAS SO UNFAIR. IF HE DOESNT PICK HER HE LOST , I COULD GIVE 2 PITS FOR PARTY UNITY, YOU WANT UNITY THEN UNITE THEM BOTH

Clinton, Biden, Bayh. It doesnt matter. Obama will win in 2008, and thats all that matters!

i would love to have joe biden as his vp, so he can eat up mcshame and all the airhead republicans. The little children that supported hillary your need to suck it up, get over it and grow up. we need to stop this country from going further into recession and wars. let get behind the dem so the rich don't get richer and the poor don't
get poorer. remember mcshame doesn't remember how many houses he have because he owns too many. i'm trying to understand why hillary supporter are still angry when obama have the same policy as hillary. i'm sure hillary will have a position in obama's cabinet.

Biden = Bore, Big Mouth, and Bad News for Obama. The GOP will eat both of these 2 alive in attack adds.

Oh, please let it be Biden.

QUESTION: What does a young sensational Muhammad Ali (The Greatest) and Senator Joe Biden has in common.

The gift for setting up their opponents and knocking them out with two words. Obama, please pick Biden! We can surely use that mouth-almighty knockout punch.

With Obama's electricity and Biden's words, the campaign is in the bag!

Joe Biden the best choice.

Biden would be the perfect pick!

This form Republican will vote for Obama unless he makes a mistake and takes the divisive Clinton.

Wait a minute. Just the other day with golf clubs in car he said he was not "the guy". He must have been referring to his game.

If it's anybody but Hillary, it shows more bad judgement from Obama. I don't care if it's the old guy, "Hair Plugs" Biden, or anybody else. The only one who is fully qualified to be prez and won the People's Vote is Hillary.

Everyone I know will be voting for McCain.

Who cares????? He is going to loose no matter who he picks!!!

Yes!

Biden….. brings solid experience and will take on the Swift Boat crap from Cheney-Rove team! Obama-Biden, good news…

Biden is straight forwad, doesn't take crap from anyone and he warned against invading Iraq. He is very grounded and also intellegent. The GOP should be worried if Joe is the man.

Why would all you Clinton lovers want Hillary for VP?

What would be the point?

Obama President, Hillary Supreme Court Justice

I will never vote for O-loser and Biden.

Hillary or McCain 08!!

Looks like McCain for me!

what is that line about CNN no bias no bull i bet you there are a lot of people trying to have a say on this subject and CNN will not print it. who is moderating jack cafferty

Can't wait! They've really managed to make this campaign one hell of an exciting time, whether you're on his side or not. Uncomparable to boring McCain and his band of has beens!

I have to say that I am simply flabbergasted at anyone who supports John McCain. Have you been living on the moon the last 8 years?

If you are voting Old MacDonald then why the hell are so worried about who Obama is picking. I supporet Obama. I can wait. No problem. Its all good.
Obama '08

Hey Art,
I've meet some Hillary people and they don't need any help from Republicans getting stoked up. I don't know what their raw numbers are, but they are like a bunch of wolverines. The only thing that saved me was I admitted I was voting for McCain. It was like an enemy of my enemy moment.

DNC party should be fun, like a cage match, last man or woman standing.

Obama has a very slim lead in the feel good national vote. McCain has the lead in the one that counts, the electorial vote, 274 to 264. Looks like dejvu all over again.

WE all must vote for B,H.OBAMA becouse ALLAH wants us to do it. ALLAH AKBAR,ALLAH AKBAR,ALLAH AKBAR.

You have got to be kidding me….with all that is going on in the world now CNN has to sit in front of our elected officials homes to see if anyone is moving around so they might possibly be a running mate???? So what if Biden is the VP candidate, the election is still over two months away and the race is going to be tight. This will mean nothing in a few days. Americans are so used to reality TV now that they cant live in reality themselves. Go out and do something for your neighbor or a family member. Give back to a country that is still the greatest ever in the history of the world!

Obama - Biden. What a gift for John McCain!

Ask yourself - "Do I really want songbird McCain to be my president?"
Ask the Viet Nam vets, find out about the "cross-in-the-dirt" story in Solzhenitsyn's book "Gulag Archipeligo" - do you think he stole the story from McCain? But, wait, Solzhenitsyn's story had the cross in the sand, (my bad).

"Cars have recently pulled into the driveway — including a police car — and Biden's daughter, son, and wife are now believed to be inside."

Didn't his daughter and wife die in a car crash in the early-1970s leaving only Biden and the two sons?

did you see how many speakers there will be on Monday when Michelle will be speaking. did you see how many speakers will be speaking when Hillary speaks on Thursday. hope she is not the last speaker they will probably run out of time before they get to her. talk about disrespect

This has me sitting on the edge of my chair - I hope that it is not Hilliary - while I could deal with her but she brings Bill and all of his drama. I think that it is great if he has selected Biden to be his vice president. Senator Biden is knowledgeable about foreign affairs, has a great personaility, and most of all can relate to the average John and Jane Blow

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

If Joe Biden gets in as VP would that help the cause of abortion to be eliminated?

Now it would be really funny if someone from the household left with the media following them and they go to Target or someplace like that…lol

RJ grow up…McCain would LOVE it if people were THIS interested in his choice…his turn is coming…let's see how he acts…of course that will also be his 100th birthday so don't expect too much!!!

Well if it's Joe Biden then OBAMA is admitting he does not have enough experience to be President. Enough said on that part. If he believes Biden is what he will need to gain the White House he is again so mislead. Biden is and has been a laughing joke in Washington. He is bad as the Kennedys, Kerrys, Deans, Pelosi and the like.

Hey RJ in CA. I hate to show your ignorance (it's too easy) but any poll that is dated August 18-25 is probably not acurate, as it's only August 22nd. Nice try. Desperate times (and angry, old, senile, lying, cheating adulterers) require desperate measures.

It's going to be a 3am text! LOL
Seriously - no matter who Senator Obama chooses I will support them fully.

Whoo whoo is RIGHT… Go Operation Chaos….

RJ,

Are you getting your McCain "points" for bloggin about him? You've posted this identical response to other CNN articles. Are those points redeemable for cigarettes or what? I'd go for the luggage cause that's some nice luggage.

obama spent over fifty million dollars on campaign advrtising in july telling you why you should not vote for mccain. now they are in a dead heat. somebody is sending somebody a signal.

obama / clinton or no vote from me

Why Biden Would Be Bad: There's a bit of C-SPAN tape that should surface quickly if he's named. … Remember, it wasn't Biden's plagiarism that knocked him out of the 1988 race. It was "'I think I have a much higher I.Q. than you do"–a bizarre videotaped putdown that Biden immediately called into question with five (5) boasts about his academic record, four (4) of which turned out to be easily disproved B.S. …

very funny, Biden could hardly swing a few votes in the primary, now he will be the VP choice??????????

Agree with Oam. Ummm….It is the media dragging this out.Obama said he would tell us when he is ready. Obama is not the one saying it will be Friday at 3am, then Friday at noon, then Friday at 5. THE MEDIA keeps this up.

I'm so glad it's not Hillary. He would have no chance of winning if she was on the ticket.

Eric, are you seriously thinking that an online poll done by AOL which has more than likely has been raided by a conservative website or something is a credible pol source? For God's sake, it shows Obama losing EVERY STATE. Even Illinois.

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not hilary

Biden will make a great attack dog, but I worry about his BIG MOUTH! I don't know. All this anticipation for Joe Biden! What about George Michelle? I am glad he is not picking Hillary. I voted for Hillary, but she and Bill would always be making news. They would be very distracting.

If it's Biden, it's too good to be true. The most arrogant man in the Senate picks the second most arrogant man in the Senate as a running mate!

Maybe they're leaving in a police car because you won't let them out of their house without bombarding them with questions you know they won't answer.

Lest we forget…didn't Joe Biden drop out of the race for president several cycles ago because of plagiarizing speeches verbatim…is this the change we can believe in??

John McCain 2008!!

D**m! This is so much like the night before Christmas!

Whats under the tree! Whats under the tree! I can't take it anymore!

Will somebody slap me!

-

Just Kidding:-)

People still use AOL?

I hope Joe knows how many houses he owns.

Bye bye Democratic Party.

Clinton 2012

So this is his Delaware home, does that mean he has more than one home? Just curious because I am going to vote for the ticket that owns the most homes. McCain has a big lead though unless Obama's VP has a slew of them. I figure the richest guy is the one who knows the most about the economy. Obama says he knows best about how to fix the economy. But I say show me the money.

If he picks Biden, even a Republican like me might be forced to support Obama. Biden's background is one that I can truly identify with- the common man of the race.

We are all playing into the suspense, it is starting to get me down, enough already, get it over with already so the signs can be printed and I can go to sleep peacefuly tonight.. If it is Joe Biden, it is an excellent choice, but not really earth shattering. As for McCain's choice, if he picks Romney, they can have a lot of fun counting how many houses they each own–the rich will rule and us common folks don't stand a chance.

To quote Rush Limbaugh, conservatives are saying "Please, please, please, let it be Joe Biden." There's just so much ammo that can be used against this guy.

I agree with Art that it's not going to be close, but it's going to be the other way. Historically, the Democrat usually has a large lead at this point, then the Republican makes up ground. Even Dole made up a lot of ground from how far behind he was earlier. If it's basically tied right now, I think that means a landslide for McCain. Obama's just got too many negatives.

No Know, it's above my pay grade, and Greasy Joe. Great pair if you're looking for unfunny comics. Just call the the dummie duo.

"Is the Delaware Democrat gathering his family ahead of a big announcement?"

Either that or he's marshalling his forces to attack the media out front.

F A N T A S T I C….HOPE, its Joe Biden.

Well, that's cable news for ya…they have all time in the world to talk about these things as oppsed to nighly news cast. It may have been a little much to have camera crews out there all day. But I'm betting it's Biden now.

Setting up stakeouts at the homes of all the VP choices is silly and outlandish. Use the time to research and educate the public of the issues the next president and vice president will face so they can intellectually voice their opinion. Leave the stalking to the paparazzi.

The only ones who look more foolish than Barack at this point are the MSM

Paris makes BOTH Barack and the MSM look, like, TOTALLY STUPID at this point

EVEN BRITNEY looks smarter than ALL OF THEM at this point!!!!!!!!!!

Like, at this point, who CARES anymore??????

It's not Hillary, so the race-card-playing-empty-suit will go DOWN in November

We PUMA's will MAKE SURE of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye, bye, Barack - time to go rejoin your racist hate-filled church to make CERTAIN you'll still be a Junior Senator from Chicago

I'm SURE all those "Christians" will revote you into office

Yay! This makes voting for McCain so much easier!

I think Biden is another Dick. After this announcement more of Hillary supporter going to vote for McCain because Obama is lied, he said his ready but the real thing is he not ready yet.

I don't really care who Obama names as his running mate. I can't wait to get ino the voting booth in November and vote against that empty suit, He is by far the most unqualified person ever to run for president.

It's interesting how the media acts like all this is so silly, but the only silly ones are the media. They are so desperate to say anything that they spend hours talking about the same mindless rumors. There are so many things going on in this Country and World that are newsworthy, so just wait until tomorrow and stop this childish behavior.

Biden is amusing, and that's about all I can say. If he's the one, Obama is going to need a lot of help to get elected. With Hillary he would have stood a better chance.

You Obama Haters Have Your Man, Go About Your Business!
Just Can Wait To Post Your Hate. That's What You Guys Do Best Period.

RJ,CA;

How About All Those childish, Sophomoric Ads, And Nauseating Lies.

And Lets Not Forget Those Stupid Tire Gages Obama's Total Energy Plan Foir America.

How About That Little White Lie About Not Wanting To Visit The Troops.

Next Time McMain Talks To "Paris" Ask For Us How Many Houses She Owns.

Now Part Your Sheets And Go To Bed, All You Obama Haters!

Hey,
Has anyone activated the tracking device on Al Gore?? Hmmmm.

RJ, you must be old.

SHeesh! Stop stalking people! You will know when he decides to say, Why dont you report some REAL news?!?!?!

Please please please please please please please please please pick JOE!

Carville and Begala are stirring the pot of angry Clinton supporters. Why? Because if Clinton is not on the ticket nobody will care anymore what they have to say. Keeping the Clinton anger alive is job security for them.

Maybe the police are there because the neighbors have complained about the gaggle of reporters hanging out and disrupting the lives of everyone around?

I'm 65 and I think this is great. Not stuck in horse and buggy days. If he advances everything else into the 21st century this will be great (can we start by making new technology MANDATORY for our politicians?? hint hint hint)

Just think CNN - what if you all were stuck in the radio world - we don't want to be stuck in the previous century either !!!!!!

If a president isn't forward thinking, we're all in trouble. (frankly, I'm sick of hearing about NAM - we have bigger fish to fry)

Go Obama/whomever '08 - know you have been very thoughtful in this process.

Great. I can't wait to hear what speech Biden plagerizes in his acceptance speech! "we wil fight them on the beaches…."

A neophite and a plagerist. What a loser ticket.

Obama/Biden!!!!!!!!

No to McSame!

Sounds more like a hostage situation.

Sorry it is not Hillary Clinton. Hopefully Joe Biden can bring Obama down to earth and quit playing his games. This is an election to run the best country in the world! So why the big deal about text messaging?????? Make the announcement and get on with dealing with the economy and the Iraq War and the war in Afganistan and gas prices ETC.

Evan Bayh of Indiana

You'll see.

Poor Judas the Traitor Richardson wasn't the chosen one????? He must be so UPSET

Poor thing - he MUST HAVE GOTTEN SO OFF on the thought of being the first Hispanic VP….!

Poor thing………! Bam Bam "changes" like the wind…….! That's the ONLY "change" we can believe in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judas Richardson can console himself with the thirty pieces of silver he got from Bam Bam

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. hair plugs? Bwahahahahaha!!!! Obama is selecting the "dumbest man in the Senate? Bwahahahaha!!!! This is going to be a cakewalk. And I can't stand McCain but at least he won't destroy the country.

Then again, Bam Bam has ALWAYS looked rather clownish unless he's reading from a pre-written speech on his teleprompter

All the "um, uh, um, duh's" make him look even dumber than Paris Hilton! At LEAST she doesn't stutter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She states PROUDLY (without stuttering!) "It's HOT!" or "He's HOT!" or "That's HOT!"

Yikes! I NEVER thought in a million years that I would say that Paris is smarter than anyone!!!!!! But I think she's smarter than Obama……at least she doesn't stutter when asked a question……!

LOL! Bam Bam looks more foolish by the second! What an anti-climax!!!!!!!!!

the word "anti-climactic" comes to mind

hopeful

I think the fact that Obama is sending out a text message to tell us who his VP will be is further proof that he is a celebrity more than a politician!

I'm staying tuned, maybe they'll order pizza. Or will it be Chinese? I'm on the edge of my seat!

I hope it's Biden or a Hillary-Surprise - either unveiled on Wednesday night.

John McCain has convinced me that he is senile… and a poor choice to run such a complex country. His fellow POW Philip Butler isn't voting for McCain, and neither am I.

Obama/Biden/Clinton(?)08!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, david jack, YOU sure were here.

Hope you PUMA/McCainers wake up and smell the 100-year war soon. Getting out in 2012 my derriere. I feel sorry for you guys. Because in 5 yrs, if McCain has been in power, you all will feel just as sick about your vote as do those that voted Bush into his second term.

McCain/Moses 2008(B.C)

I think you media hacks are about to pee your pants. Since when has a VP pick generated so mcuh press? Really? What is with all the hype, its just going to be another Washington insider no matter who he picks……wake me up when it all over.

Seriously, can we just start all over? Kick all the bumbs out!

if it is anybody but Clinton it'll be a disaster. Biden. they cannot be serious. The BO campaign has to get over itself. I feel like BO and his campaign are being extraordinarily patronizing with all this coyness about the VP pick. We are seriously going to loose to grandpa Munster McCain November. This was going to be so easy until the Obama and legion of idiots ruined any chances we had to take back the presidency.

greater moves for …freedom,democracy,and capitalism….

Oh wow, so all it will take is a 5 gallon bucket full worth of voters to pull Obama over the victory line? That's about how many votes Biden got in the primary! Go Republicans…..! Go McCain! Looks like your strategy worked after-all!!!!

McCain 2008!!

boring……..men in ties. More reason to sit this one out.

One can only hope…..

RJ…I agree with you….who cares now. This is childish, overblown, and certainly stoking Obama's ego!

Sick of it!

Obama is brilliant!!! Even the media are waiting by their cell phones and blackberries. He really knows how to make his supporters feel like and be part of the process.

I think Biden is the right choice. He's perfect for fighting the Republican lie machine. The silence is deafening. Everyone is excited! Obama is a genius.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Let's all get a good night sleep and when the good Lord wakes us up tomorrow morning; let's get busy electing the next President of the United States of America; Senator Barack Obama, Amen!

I am excited, I think they smuggled Biden out in that flower truck, he is on his way to Springfield now. Connie from Indiana

AOL Poll? That's pretty funny! You were making a joke right?

Wow, RJ,

A poll without sampling error! They must have polled every American to not have sampling error!

Your ignorance is quite apparent! And as Glenn Beck has pointed out, ignorance is your God-given right! Yes, mathematics doesn't interfere with McCain's policies, why should it with your punditry?

How many homes does elitist Obama own again?

This story is slightly of target but any way during ww2 the German we re throw eight eights on these guy one said he wont his mother the other guy said you mean gran .mother no my real mother ,you have not seen her since four years old I want my mother. Their may be a hidden message in this post.

Obama/Biden '08

Great choice! I will cast my vote with pride in November.

Make 'em all WAIT Obama! Send out the email on Monday! Everyone's talking about it - even the haters.

Too bad no one's excited over McCain's pick. It's simple, really. Repub/conservatives are in fits over the candidate in general, and his Veep "short list". So instead of jumping up in anticipation for the future and flag bearer of their party, they're busy trying to bring down the Dems and stoke Clinton anger among the party.

Don't worry G.O.P., America will focus on McCsame - and when they do, they'll see a wealthy warmonger maverick with no support from his own base, and who's going to get seriously hurt by the Barr libertarian candidacy.

Heck, even T. Boone Pickens met with Obama!

Obama/whomever will crush McCain/whomever. It's not even going to be close.

GO BIDEN GO BIDEN GO!

If Biden is VP and Hillary is not my vote goes to McCain. No way I'm going to vote for someone with no experience and just fills the minds of despondent people with things they want to here and are not in the realm of reality just so he can get their votes.. Sick…

Go drink your milk and fall asleep John, let the young and innovative people lead us into the 21st century, not an old washed-up Vietnam war loser.

People who are writing disgusted lines– Are A Disgusting Type anyway!!

I am excited!! Obama Obama Obama!!

As a Geriactric Nurse I know the condition most men over 70 are in. I doubt that McCain has the mental aguity or physical stamina it is going to take to try to get this country into shape. Sadly enough, I think it is too big of a job for any one man to undertake.

Congress seems to be sleeping and if this election drags on any longer so will most of the citizens of this nation.

We need more than change….
We need a miracle.

To Ed,FL. You exited and can't wait. Take a walk to restroom. No HRC - no Obama.

AOL straw poll?

Who uses AOL these days. Old folks!

AOL straw poll is useless.

Hmmm. Emile Jones, Illinois Senate President and Obama's mentor, just retired so his son could take over his seat in the grand old tradition of Chicago Democratic political nepotism.

Maybe Jones is being offered the VP slot for all the favors he did Obama by putting his name on legislation he never authored.

RJ you are a complete idiot. Kool-Aid drinkers racist B@stard I see you have no idea about politics. Follow what you hear not what you know

Mike Dukakis chose Lloyd Bentsen as his running mate and it did NOT help. Kennedy chose Johnson to solve a similar problem to Barack's. Reagan chose Bush. For Obama to choose anyone except Clinton,Kerry or Gore is, it seems to me, providing his opponent ammunition and making a difficult task unnecessarily more difficult.
But what do I know?

yay

Ha, AOL poll. Only people that still use AOL are old people, and people unable to keep up with changing technology. What is the Web TV poll currently showing?

JOE BIDEN IS A GOOD MAN !
THIS TICKET IS POWERFUL BRUH !!!!!

MCCAIN IS GOING DOWN !!!!!!

hilarious, david…. apparently you're interested too in taking the time to post that comment.

Hi, CNN

You are showing real color of your partisanship towards Clinton. It is true that rethug nut job once said CNN = Clinton News Network. Stop fueling the fire. Lot of is at stake here. Shivers should go through your spine just by the thought of McCain winning this election. 4 more years of repub monarchy in this country will put us atleast 10 years back. Clinton lost fair and squarely. GET OVER IT.

"The AOl Straw Poll – REAL people voting REALTIME (without “sampling errors”): August 18-25: 117,545 total votes cast: McCain 68%, Obama 32%. "

If by that you mean "real" people constantly deleting their cookies to vote hundreds of times to skew the poll, then you are correct. Common PUMA tactic to make yourselves look larger then you really are.

To you who so excited. "above my pay grade." Sooooo smart. Be excited when your Obama will fly home on November 4 to Chicago. No HRC — NO Obama.

Wow, I really think William Ayers would make a better choice than Biden. He's known Obama for 15 years, has an intimate knowledge of military matters (having tried to bomb the Pentagon) and also knows our law enforcement system through having been a fugitive from justice.
OBAMA/AYERS 08!

Yes we can-(be friends with terrorists and get nominated by the Democrat Party)

This story is slightly of target but any way during ww2 the German we re throw eight eights on these guy one said he wont his mother the other guy said you mean gran .mother no my real mother ,you have not seen her since four years old I want my mother. Their may be a hidden messager in this post.

McCain will choose Petraeus for VP. Obama needs a better VP than Biden to beat McCain. What is McBush's greatest qualification for the Presidency? He dropped napalm on Vietnamese villagers and got shot down. America wants another killer like Georgie Jr. for their president.

Biden is fine but the guy needs a decent haircut. The combover has got to go.

seems that the only people interested in this biting off their fingernails is CNN.

and you too!!

(and me too!! I can't believe I'm watching a stakeout of biden's house!!)

No matter who Obama picks please understand that it will be Obama who people do not vote for and Biden will be a temporary bounce next week. Biden will be a riot in any VP debate tying to limit his answers to the actual questions asked (Joe has a big problem with diarrhea of the mouth).
Hillary supporters are ready to cause problems next week, should be fun.

I wonder who participates in the AOL poll - could it be people who have AOL? I.e. old people who don't know better.

It appears it will be BIDEN…………….AND WHAT AN AWESOME CHOICE……………Here's to OBAMA/BIDEN…………………Hopefully………..

…………Still keeping my fingers crossed the Dark Horses don't make it to the party……………………….

McCain = DRAFT for all persons between the ages of 18 - 30 years old

Let the ball roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…hury up dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Obama's childish antics"? Hello? Excuse me, but I think all Obama has done is not name his VP candidate yet, which is exactly what McCain has also not done. The hype, the childishness, the breathless speculation, is all from the media. Just as McCain will do eventually, Obama is going to name his choice on his schedule, not the press's schedule.

RJ, CA….do you even understand how idiotic you sound? Do you have any idea what polling is all about? Go hit the books and then you'll realize how foolish you sound.

Obama for America! I can't imagine McCain being the President. A former POW who has been tortured for 6 years!? Is he really mentally stable? All we need is McCain having flashbacks of his POW days, waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat ready to push the red button and drop nuclear weapons on Russia or North Korea. The question is DO WE REALLY TRUST MCCAIN AS PRESIDENT?

What areas were polled RJ? The trailor home park areas? If so..are you really suprised? LOL

OBAMA '08

Too bad the republicans will win with out senator Clinton. What a sad day for the U.S.

RJ,CA,

If you're posting, you're paying close attention.

BTW $273,000 for his domestic staff, every American can relate to dealing with that expense.

Stick a fork and turn'em. He's done.

Re: AOL Straw Poll

Ron Paul dominating back in January. Ha!

John McCain is a Bush Republican… his policies will continue to walk this nation down the wrong road. Plus which, the man looks like a robot when he talks with those arms and hands never going that high….Biden is an awesome choice!

Obama/Biden 08

RJ you are stupid, McCain will screw us worse than Bush did, he is a carbon copy of bush, everyone was blinded by him in 2000,

OBAMA All The Way

Biden is a good choice, and has attitude enough to be worth all the hype. As for McCain being a "grown up" as suggested by a prevcious post, have you forgotten "bomb bomb Iran" and other silly antics?

If he picks Biden, Obama will be a hypocrite. Biden is an insider and has been in Washington for more than 30 years. Biden helped to make Washington what it is today. What happened to the idea of changing government.? Obama is proving to be what Rev Wright said he was….just another politician.

let the games begin.

Ridiculous. It's like the VP's going to decide the outcome of the election.

RJ/david jack - Who said it was going to happen today? The media did. The media has been camping out making this whole thing such a big thing to keep us glued to the TV and websites. It worked. It got everyone worked up.

I do think Biden will make an awesome running mate if it's true.

RJ, CA,

Go grow a brain and suck it up after you see your John McDracula lose on November 4th and say hello to your soon-to-be 44th President, Barack Obama

Obama is a genius, he's taken control of the news cycle without announcing anything

I'm personally hoping that Obama goes against the norm and has a two part announcement, 1) Chet Edwards or Bayh for VP, 2) If elected, Biden will be his Sec. of State. Edwards has foreign policy experience and represents change, while announcing Biden as the Sec. of State would give a third person to fundraise, answers all foreign policy questions, and means that Biden's mouth is less of an issue. Unlikely, but it would be close to flawless.

Any activity at Kaine's house??

LMNO Straw poll - REAL people in my
