"I'm sitting out?" Unbelievable!! People have fought and died for YOUR right to vote! Is any one politician worth betraying the thousands that have died and continue to die for democracy??? Really! Would your HILLARY want this as part of her legacy.

Dr. Phil is taking new clients.

Besides SEN. BIDEN DWARFS HILLARY. Don't be confused. Only BILL Clinton plays at Bidens level.

Besides,how good can she be if she lost the primary to a freshman senator???

What she learned and what McCain WILL learn is that we had one of the most EXPERIENCED administrations in resent history, and yet the have failed SUPREMELY in everyway possible.

A VAST AND NUANCED MIND TRUMPS THE EXPERIENCE OF THE MEDIOCRE ANY DAY!!

This democracy. Stop whining and get behind a Candidate that actually knows that Iraq and Afghanistan DON'T share a border.

For those thinking of going to McCain, I encourage you to see "4 months 3 weeks 2 days". this is what it's like where abortions are illegal. GROW UP!!

I am very disappointed in the way Obama went about announcing his choice - does he think it was wise to act like some big superstar and drag it out for hours and hours? All it did for me was make me disgusted enough to NOT vote for him. All I can say is grow up and try again when you have. The position you are applying for is not for an inexperienced person. We need a strong leader in this day and time, not a game player.

To all PUMA friends:
you don't want to vote for Obama who is a democrat like Hillary and whoes policy is very close to that of Hillary (more than 90%) , instead you prefer to vote for McSame who supported Bush 95% of the time. are you sure that you 've made a wise decision?
if you really support Hillary so listen to her and vote for Obama, and be sure once he elected as president there will be an effective position for her, but in Mcsame adminestration you can be sure that there would be no place for people like Hillary.

If there were enough PUMAs with enough guts to go out and work to change the election results, Hillary would have retired her debt by now. The enthusiasm shown by Obama's supporters is directly translated into financial support for his campaign. Positive thinking will always win out over a negative mindset, because it will change minds.

This is GREAT news! As one of New Yorks Senators in Washington she has done absolutely nothing! Many of we Democrats throughout New York do not support Hillary for any political office. She's nothing but a Carpet-Bagger and has done absolutely nothing for New Yorkers, except visit The State Fair and stay in Skaneatles!!!
Joe Biden is a great and best choice!!!
Kev.

Can you imagine trying to work with Clinton? She is pushy, bullish, and only human when polls tell her she should be more human. "I found my voice"- tear…

I encourage everyone to write Hillary in. That's much better than not voting.

One way Obama could've softened the blow to us Clinton supporters was to pick her as V.P. and double his strength, She's earned it and is the most qualified.

He shouldn't be favoring just his supporters now anyway. Looks like
the Dem's are going for the threepeat in losing the White House !!!

Hey Clinton supporters come on over.
We need your vote.
Clinton's policies were not going to work anyway and neither will Obama's. This was all a show by the democratic party to get attention on Clinton and Obama. Well it didn't work.
After the show we are down to real issues and McCain's vision and plan is what this country needs. Both Hillary and Barack's plans were the same which means they were both crappy plans to start with.

Vote McCain!!

i did not vote the primary but now i will register to vote for obama,with all my friends.Surely nobody need clintons supporters vote,we obama supporters are enough to vote him to be the next prsesident of united states.remember very well clinton lost and we won without her suppoters and we will win without them.
OBAMA 08.

Obama really doesn't have my support now. Didn't like him in the begining and now that it looks like he chose someone that is old politics I won't vote for him. Hillary is who i'm writing in.

Clinton is better off not being affiliated with Obama. He has been rude and disrespectful to her. Whether she could run the White House or not is not the issue. The issue is she has been treated WRONG! Lots of luck Obama - you should have been nice to her!

She was the reason I was going to vote Obama 08. But now it is McCain 08′.

Thanks God that this guy didn't pick Hillary. Now I am feeling so good to vote for Mccain in November without any thought about Hillary. Thanks obama!

When Bill Clinton refused full disclosure - who had contributed to his
library and which businesses he'd become involved with since leaving office - he killed Senator Clinton's chances of gaining a spot on the ticket.

Hillary had to know that a presidential candidate could not accept a running mate whose spouse couldn't be forthcoming.

If she'd really wanted the VP spot she would have forced Bill to volunteer the info.

So, draw the conclusion. Hillary never wanted the VP spot. It's that simple.

So What!! Two fingers to the sky Hill-Billy!! And the real story should be on Joe and Barack

Hillary people….. don't let your anger clout your judgement.

What's at stake:
1. Supreme Court
2. The two Wars
3. The economy
4. Energy policie
5. Health Care
6. Social Security
7. Justice department that doesn't break the law.

Hillary and Obama weren't that far apart on the issues. There contest was more about personality. I'm sorry you still need more time to take in her loss but the election is 74 days away. If you Hillary supporters burn the bridge for Obama this time, you also burn it for Hillary in 2012. I just don't see how you expect people in 2012 to turn around and help you when you're acting like this. Let's pick a good future for the country folks.

Obviously Clinton overplayed her hand, overestimated her importance to Obama and still even more thought she could bully and arm twist Obama into forcibly naming her to the ticket.

Could Obama have used her in a ticket.? Sure, but it would have been in very different circumstances. One where she showed restraint. One where she championed any democrat in favor of McCain. This she often failed to do. She ought to go the Liebermann way.

Obama will do fine. And all you petty, Clintonian sore losers, go vote for McCain. You think 2012 will be the year!. Payback is a ..!!

I cannot express in words my disappointment. I feel pretty convinced that the Democrats have lost the election come November. Good work, guys.

Any Hillary fan that isn't going to vote for Obama is an absolute fool. You are greedy, selfish, and Hillary would be ashamed of you. I supported Hillary in the primaries, but I know that Obama is millions of times better than McSame will ever be. Somebody needs to knock some sense into fools who are bitter enough to ruin this election.

Why is drivel like discussions of combovers and plugs posted but remarks posted regarding women's rights to choose "await moderation" is this is forum for middle school students?

I can now resume my contributions stream to the Obama campaign knowing that that right-wing slattern will not be on the ticket. After her wrecking-ball performances in the primaries, I can state for myself that its Anyone But Hillary!

Excellent.

I have liked Biden for a long time. The Hillary whining has, of course, commenced, because you just never can do enough to please them. But this has pleased me, and countless others.

Well it is clear that America is not ready to be lead by a woman, and I think that Obama moved very far from his charming image of a political newcomer by not acknowledging Clinton, at the very least. The silly "she rocks" comment right after she terminated her campaign has been a reflection of what the Obama campaign has been so far - just words. It is too bad that politics is a popularity contest above all. I do not find Hilary as appealing as some leaders, but I TRUST her power, will, and dedication to a cause. Obama is still too spineless and too commercial for me. He is getting ahead of himself and this hinders him. Even if he wins the election, I do not believe that he will abide by any of his promises and I think that he will not be able to withstand the callous international political world. Just like any politician who has been elevated by behind-the-scenes force rather than climb the mountain on his own, Obama is not ready to lead the country. Americans should have given Hilary a better chance and should have put more faith in her ability than in Obama's charm. In this sense, they are not ready to be led by a woman of Hilary's magnitude and character, either. So they will get what they deserve, but America will keep sliding economically, politically, and culturally, until a true and radical change of mindset occurs, and is manifested in a change of the political structure atop. Sorry for the pessimism, but all the intellectuals backing Obama are simply giving into trends and commercialism, and a need to prove to themselves they are forward thinkers by pushing for a representative of a different race. This does not count, sweeties: rather than dealing with your own complexes, you should have seen beyond your own taste and scruples and made a choice for America.

Awesome. Now I 'll have no qualms not voting democrat this time.

Obama could not pick HRC as VP because she represents "old school", and Biden does not. Does Obama think 18 mil people are all idiots? He lost my vote.

It truly saddens me that so many Hillary supporters are harboring such animosity toward Obama. Early in the primaries, I was tossed up between Obama and Clinton (after my candidate Bill Richardson left the race) because they were so similar on the issues. Honestly, their differences on the issues were very subtle.

As the primaries unfolded, it started to become clear to me that the difference between them was character and integrity.

The Clintons were very hateful and divisive, and what bothered me most was the way Hillary padded her resume and diminished Obama's. Hillary does have slightly more experience than Obama, but truly saying that everything she has done in the 35 years since she left college has prepared her for the presidency is such a stretch. Obama may have been in the senate for only a short time, but the type of work he has done since he left college seems to be right on track with what the country needs right now. And then the sniper fire lie just made me think "wow, lying comes so naturally to her that she even embellishes something like this which doesn't even matter. How can I trust her to tell the truth about important issues?'

Listen, I enjoyed the Bill Clinton years, and I thought he was a good president. But Hillary is not bill, and the times are changing. Obama is what we need right now. And again, it is his integrity and character which impresses me above all else.

If you got all of your information from Hillary and that is the basis for what you believe about Obama, then it is seriously time for a fact check Why don't you look into him yourself?

I'll leave you with this thought: Mark Twain once said "Anger is an acid which does more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured". This country is at a critical juncture. Please put aside your hurt feelings and think this through. What would Hillary do? Oh, that's right, she's voting for Obama.

the selfish and self centered attitude of those who are throwing temper tantrums about Hillary Clinton demonstrate the calibur of people she attracts. The selfish apples dont fall far the selfish tree…

PUMA reaction tells me all I need to know about the quality of Hillary Clinton's character.

What an insult to 18 million voters of Hillary - go figure - how you gonna win with out her? You won't get my vote!

If Obama had picked Hillary then there is no way I wouldn't allow myself not to vote for him since he at least tried. But now I can be sure I won't.

Hillary 2012

oneof18millionblogspot.com…people like you are scary!!!! Do you even think about what you're spewing forth???

If Robert Rood wants to talk about McCain's comb-over, maybe I should talk about Biden's pathetically fake looking plugs. The top of his head reminds me of a doll's head.

I was a supporter of Hillary. She lost and I am willing to support Obama 100%. Why? I can't stand McCain's ideas of going to war whenever someone looks at us differently. In McCain's world, it is simply trying to look tough. America, we need to look at the issues that Hillary and Obama agrees on. Then you'll see that they share the same issues: Healthcare, stop the war in Iraq, energy independence, and growing our economy, etc. I would hate to see 4 more years of Bush policy. So please all, Hillary supporters. Dig deep and do the right thing for your country.

Obamalites, remember when he wanted you to sign up for exclusive news on his VP pick? He got your email addy and still could not keep this simple promise. Has your pager gone off yet? Remember, a write in vote for Hillary is a vote for Omama. McCain 08 instead of Shuck & Jive 08.

What a insult! 18 million votes did not matter, Obama lost my respect my vote!!

CNN you are catering to the Clintons by not uploading my earlier comment, don't think we haven't noticed. I am disappointed in your internet organization. The media favoritism is old and staugy.

Clinton lost this race on her own, period. (The GOP was holding their breath thinking maybe, just maybe he'll go with the former first lady, no such luck.)

Obama could not pick HRC as VP because she represents "old school", and Biden does not. Does Obama think 18 mil people are all idiots? He lost my vote.

Barack has ignored the Popular Democratic Vote! Proves to me that he is out of touch with his own Party! What a fool! The Primaries were not a Poll……….. Hillary got more votes than this Nim-Rod and he slapped the majority of Democratic voters in the face! Change….. you got it Obama`…….. a "change" in my vote!

Hillary supporters are being childish.It was Obamas prerogative and he chose wisely.Do you think the vindictive Hillary would even have campained for Obama??
Why arent you talking about how Bill has never endorsed Obama?
He never promised her anything….Go Biden! Obama ow has the white house.

Only good think from this is that Obama has given us Hillary and Evan Byah 2012 after he loses.

I have been republican most of my life, and am a Evangelical Christian. I have grown more and more frustrated by the lack of concern for poverty and social justice issues with Republicans.

If Hillary was on the ticket, I dont think I could have voted for Obama. Clinton has always been , and always will be selfish, and unconcerned with anyone except her and Bill's fortune and legacy… makes my skin crawl.

I will now vote for Obama. He wlll win more of the middle Christian vote than people expect. Especially since he doesnt have "old politcs" hanging like an albatross around his neck

Obama for President… smart move!

only an uneeducated and foolish person would write in a candidate's name,when he/she isnt even on the ticket.
if u "PUMA" folks,had any sense,you would either vote maccain or mybe go to work and earn ur minimum wage rather than waste your time.
and since there are 18M puma's,please each of u should donate a dollar to hilary.that would give her 18M to pay off her debt!
silly puma's
OBAMA/BIDEN

If Hill's supporters are really that stupid and boycott, then I'll NEVER support a Clinton EVER!

Clinton supporters are so faithful, they are blinded by the bigger picture. You are viewing this like it's your favorite pick on a sports team or captain of the ship. Barak has the U.S. plans in line and ready to roll out, so we say he is weak in foreign policies, why got grab a V.P. that directly deals with that? Let Biden handle foreign, Obama handle the U.S. I agree, with H. Clinton at the Supreme Court position, she really can act as her own and make things happen…..Why would Obama pick H. Clinton, the race between the two became personal and degrading, now they should put on a "fake smile" so you will be happy? You acting like her, sore-losers. A true to the heart Democrat will acknowledge the winner and get on board for the big fight against republicans. Oh, or you'd rather vote McCain and allow him to win just to inflict consequences of personal sorrow, yes send the U.S. back to another republican while we ALL suffer, yea that will teach us!?!?

listen to these hillary supporters….well listen up hillary people if you guys lose this election for obama all 18 million of us obama supporters will not vote for her in the future….and how immature of you guys…you didn't get your way so your going to vote against all your beliefs to bring another republican in? how logical is that?

I was on the fence - if he would have picked Hillary I would have probably voted Obama. But now, that door is definitely closed. I mean, I have no respect for Obama as a candidate, but with Hillary, I would have probably supported the ticket. But between Obama and McCain, McCain is the better President.

Democrats - always ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I hate the democratic party because they didn't make Hillary their candidate. I love Hillary so much that now I want to see the democrats suffer. I hope John McCain becomes president and destroys life as the democrats know it. That'll show you democrat dummies what a mistake you made.

For all of the comments from people saying "that's it, i'm not voting in this election, or I will vote for mcsame," because HRC has not been chosen as VP, all I want to say to you is, H i l l a r y LOST the DEM nomination all on her own accord. ENOUGH whining, tell Hillary the game is over and she can't control the complainers any longer. Oh and "NO" the wisest DEM nominee doesn't have to pick the one that lost, and lost BADLY I might add. Grow up and get over it, Hillary screwed herself and ultimately misjudged, misspoke and mismanaged her chance, her entire campaign. So if you choose to keep complaining about why she isn't on the DEM ticket, complain to HILLARY, now that is putting the energy in the right area.

I send you all LOVE and gratitude for being human beings on this planet.

Johnson nailed it:

"if you can't unite behind a person who has about 95% of the same view as the person you support"

Hillary supporters that are refusing to vote for Obama should be ashamed of themselves. They are highly similar democratic candidates.

Well that does it. I'm voting McCain. Obama's immaturity continues to show through with how he treated Clinton. And then he picks another arrogant senator (like himself). Here's one Clinton donor going from undecided to McCain.

Give Obama an oppportunity to show how good to the US and the rest of the world could be his mandate. I think He can be the first of many humanitarian US presidents to lead the rest of the countries to a unified front

Politics aside, thank God for Larry King - he's hit my boy Obama and has hit my boy McCain…FAIRLY. A true jounalist. Ready at his desk, knowing that he can spew sewage, but doesn't.

so NOW none of you HRC supporters will vote for Obama - like "not supporting Obama anymore" — were you really going to vote for him anyway? you and those like you have been saying PUMA and NOBAMA for two months or more . . . you can only not vote for him once, maroons. enjoy mccain!

All you Democrats are so stupid. You're inability to decide who you want is why you can't get your candidate elected and the reason you are all politically impotent! Democrats are so pathetic - you disgust me.

Someone had the nerve to ask why? Are you kidding? Did you live in a cave when she and Bill were throwing him under the bus? I can't blame him for not choosing her.

I was listening to Obama speak earlier today and everything he said he wanted in a running mate seems to describe Hillary. If he was truly working for the success of his party and not himself I think he would have made a different choice. I guess it shows he really is an experienced politician. I feel for you Hillary supporters and good luck.

BIG MISTAKE, Barack…..

I will not vote this fall. I'm very disappointed with Obama because He doesn't understand how strong the world will be for African-America and Women for President and Vice President. I have always hope for both. I can see the vision in both of them. I chose Hillary at first because I knew if Obama loses, She would take him as VP. I knew Hillary would do that. She could look like a tough person but in other side she does have the heart. O well, I wish the election the luck. Won't be voting.

Cheers

The goal is to return the democratic party to the White House! Will you really cut your nose off to spite your face for 4 more years of Bush?

This sounds like something right out of high school.

Since your girl friend was not chosen Homecoming Queen you're not going to the home coming dance by voting for McCain?
How petty…

Ed—if only everyone was as wise as you.

Go to the Fox News sites and cry in your beers, fake Hillary supporters.
Go get excited about McCain/Romney–two multimillionaire elitists who have no clue what the average American goes through. This election is a complete no brainer—unless you're a multimillionaire elitist who can't remember how many houses he owns or one whose kids are too good to fight for a war he wholeheartedly endorses.

They said Hillary wasnt even seriously considered for the VP SLOT. Well MR. OBAMA, how about im not considering you to be my PRESIDENT. You lost my vote! MCCAIN 2008, CLINTON 2012!!!

oneof18million.blogspot.com

Relative to Carol comment:

So are HRC supporters the only ones that deserve respect? So if a person vote for Richardson, Edwards or Dodd and they weren't picked as VP - all there supporters should now go to McCain now right?

I know that she got almost 18,000,000 votes, yet BO shouldn't had been blackmailed into picking her. If he picked her , some folks would had say that he was "weak" and picked her because he had to. Since he didn't pick her, folks say that HRC supporters have been disrespected???

MY GOODNESS HALF OF THE CONVENTION IS ALL ABOUT THE CLINTONS.

I teach elementary school and this is the kind of behaviour I expect from people under the age of 10! but from grown people who should KNOW better?!?!? Come on! I am not a HRC fan but if she were the nominee then I would vote for her because a democrat holds my concerns as important. Do what's best for your kids and your country and stop being mad because the person you liked didn't win. Emotional voting is just crazy. Remember the Bible said pride cometh before the fall. Voting based on your pride will cause you nothing but heartache.

Man, MCCain looks SO OLD.

Any woman who votes for MCcAIN in retaliation for Hilary's'loss is apparently too old to worry about the loss of our right to choose to reproduce. This fossil could care less about you or your daughters, and Hillary is even worse with her alllegence to Bill Clinton who has zero respect for women..

Not voting for him now!!!!!!!

MCCAIN 2008!!!!!

It is a charactheristuc of a great person to decide for his bets choise even when it is not the most popular one.´

I respect Senator Obama more than I respected him before he choose a VP mate. I think he is the rigth kind of decision maker in the rigth place to have us thinking there is hope in this world.

How Obama can ignore the fact that 18 million people were behind Hillary and that he only NARROWLY won the Democratic nomination and he doesn't choose her as his running mate for VP makes me wonder if the Republicans can do any worse….

Thank God it isn't HIllary

BOO-HOO!

All you of Hillary supporters who are anti-Obama weren't really true Democrats to begin with. It's over! GET OVER IT! HILLARY LOST!

I can't believe that many of you would allow a personal vendetta against Obama to allow you to either not vote, or vote for McBush.

You either get on board with the Democratic Party and it's nominee or continue pouting over the fact that it wasn't "in the cards" for Hillary to be in this position now.

YES WE CAN!

Obama/Biden 2008!

Well, There goes my vote, my husbands vote, my 2 kids vote my mom
& dads vote and I could go on & on. He just cost us the election.
None of us will be voting for Obama. You should of chose Hillary,,,

Isnt it amazing how many folks claim to be democrats yet jump ship so easily. I wonder how many of these posts are actually the same people just trying to stir up trouble.

I support Obama.. and support Hillary .. I support Obama as our president elect and I support Hillary in a much more substantial role in our goverment. I think she wold be perfect in charge of heath care. And i believe she wold rather have that position then VP anyday…. Hillary isnt one to play 2nd fiddle.

Hillary supporters: Please don't do anything foolish and vote for McCain! Senator Clinton can do much more in a Cabinet position than she could have as a vice-president. Her health-care plan is a very important issue, and you know she will be at the center of things. Please please PLEASE look past the names on the ticket and think about the big picture. Don't give this country four more years of hard times by voting for McCain!

Becky apparently you are too old to worry about maintaining your right to choose to reproduce or don't have any women that you care about or have to worry about it either… by the way, did you notice that Hillary only made it as far as she did by being hitched onto her husband? How strong of a woman is that? How about if she had set an example for her daughter and made it on her own after he totally humilated them both?

EVERYONE LISTEN…. All of the comments about Dems jumping ship and voting for McCain are B.S. These are republicans posing as democrats trying to confuse us and desperate since the story about McCain making up ground seems to not be accurate. DONT FALL FOR THIS TRICK!

PUMAS, show your loyalty to Hillary by paying her debt off.

I'm glad the fair-weathered hillary/democrat supports are finally leaving. we are tired of all this moaning and complaining. if you can't unite behind a person who has about 95% of the same view as the person you support then you can go vote for someone who will lead us down the wrong path and make things even worse for America. When we go into Iran and reinstate the draft remember the moment that you voted for John McCain.

If it were Hillary only, just pure Hillary, she would have been the (almost ) perfect VP (she has no diplomacy/defense experience either.)

But, if you were Obama. how dumb would you be to select a two-headed VP from pure OLD School politics…deliberately choose to be out-numbered in the White House?

Bill has been perfectly clear that he's willing to abandon the party 'cuz he didn't get his way. Grow up! Not vote? Vote for McCain?
What good does that do Hillary? Or you?
SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT! Cutting off your nose to spite America for not giving you the brand-name gift.
McCain can't possibly do a second term anyway. If Obama messes up so badly, you'll have it together to elect Hillary then. Four years…is that sooo looong?

I have been active and voting since 1976. Obama is the first candidate I have supported in the primaries that actually won the Democratic Party nomination for president…

That means I have held my nose in the general election and voted for Carter (80) Mondale (84) Dukakis (88) Clinton (92)..A;though I was a Bill convert by '96….too bad he has put himself and his wife above the country in the past 18 months…Gore (2000) and Kerry (2004)…

My Point is PUMAS…you are not the only Democrats in history that have ever been disappointed..but we've stuck together as a party…it is your turn to do the right thing and support the party's nominee…or else get the hell out of the way…

Obamma Just threw the election away. Good going!!!

If Barack is afraid of a strong woman how can he hope to rule the free world? Al Gore was afraid of what he considered the "Clinton Baggage" and he failed in his bid for the presidency, even though he was the best choice. I fear that Barack has also lost his chance. As a democrat, I will probably vote for him, but as a woman, I will certainly not campaign for him…………I'll leave that up to Joe Biden supporters.

Do you people relize that if you do not vote for Obama/Biden in the election and if for some reason he does lose and Hilary runs in '12 that she will not win because Obama/Biden supporters will remember and not vote for her? Something to think about but I doubt that it will get though your thick heads.

Wow, so many whiners! "I didn't get what I want so I'm going to vote against all I've ever believed in, WHAAAAAAA!"

Hillary supporters, we can get that you're disappointed that she didn't get the nomination or the VP nod. However, it is what it is, and threats don't work. You want to make her happy? Go donate a few bucks to her campaign. She quite obviously needs it.

Well I'll also vote McCain….theres a possibility that if McCain gets in and messes up, then we will be done with Republicans for a while…..I already know Obama will mess it up for democrats, so i'd rather have 4 more years of a republican president than 4 years of a failing democrat and then a lifetime of republicans to follow. We all know if Obama ruins the country any further, it will make it impossible for another democrat to ever win another election.

OH YEAH…….and it is very possible, that since Hilary is now out of the picture, Republicans like myself who don't really care for McCain, will lean more toward Obama in November. Even though I may not agree with Joe on all issues I do admire how Biden has nothing to hide and speaks his mind. It is refreshing to hear exactly how a politician feels and not how he thinks he should act to win votes.

As a conservative, this is both music to my ear and a disaster.

Music, because it really is a slap at the Hillary folks. All of whom should be rightly upset that their candidate wasn't even vetted. It shows Obama's arrogance, even to his own party-mates. He simply doesn't care what anyone thinks. It's his way or the highway. I am truly sorry that this opportunity to have a viable female candidate was missed so this empty suit can talk down to people and their God and guns.

But thinking of my country, I regret this decision. If Obama is elected, the last person on Earth I want to be the guy in his ear is Biden. I'd rather Obama throw darts at a dartboard than take any Biden advice when it comes to foriegn affairs.

This is a bad decision by Obama all around.

One only hopes it's a decision that will help stop him from making more costly ones in the future.

You make your family vote whatever you want them to?

that's just so sad

If all you idiots talking about Obama losing your votes should all shut your trap cuz non of you are planning to vote for him before all you people think about is first woman president and Obama is black instead of focus on policy i change my mind on issues thats what a good thinker does for those of you that did not go to school or need to go back. You all need to be ashamed of yourselves opening your big mouth saying he lost cause of you idiots last time i checked America has a population of over 300million you idiots don't count so go get a nap or a bottle like babies do and stop whining.

Don't discount the PUMAs, they may be growing after tonight. AND they're VOTERS regardless of how crazy you thing they are. A leader should speak for all and not disregard those who aren't inspired by him/her. Any yes, Hillary spoke about governing from the MIDDLE. Which has made Obama a hypocrite these days. Boo on him. It would be better if you attempted to convince us to join the the Oprah/Obama camp (Ew) rather than insult us. it's now imperative!!

It did not matter who Obama picked McCain is going to win this thing. Obama went from flavor of the month to a guy who has no experience frankly doing anything in politics.One thing about Biden is he has a temper that is even worse then McCain's temper. Should be fun when we see the VP debate and Biden loses his cool lol

PUMAS, if you're bent on voting for McSane, think of the possibilty of seeing your children go off to war in the near future ! McSane thinks the draft should be reinstated.

Hillary talked a lot about health care for all Americans, I think it would be a good idea to put her in charge of health care for all. Kind of like a "Health Care Czar"

Are you kidding me? You would rather have another four years of McBush and the corporate cronies than vote for B.O. It is a shame that you are so single minded that you would rather vote against your interests than vote for Obama. His and Hillary's Policies are so close that is why the primaries were so close. The shame of it is that I would have voted for Clinton if Obama had lost, because anything is better than what we have. It is a sad day when you will sell your grandchildren down the river because of sour grapes. I hope you take a look at the supreme court, social programs, health care, social security, and the constitution, just to name a few subjects that may come up in the next administration.

That's it. He lost my vote.

The fact that some of you are now going to vote McCain, just shows you are too childish, self centered and immature to vote at all. Don't you even care where McCain stands in opposition to the Dems as it relates to health care, the war, foreign policy, immigration, the budget, national security, education??? If you people cared anything about the issues, you'd know McCain is bad for the country and has quite different views from Obama or Hillary. But because you are like childish 3 year olds you will vote him anyway. If you do that and McCain wins - I hope you and your kids are the first to go to the front lines in the middle east, you and your loved ones suffer because the economy, you can't afford gas and you lose your jobs over seas - it is what you want to vote for. Grow up.

my post is to those that are scorning the "bitter" ones that have posted.

i support you. i do NOT understand the logic behind supporting mccain when the person supported hillary to begin with. anyone that switches to such severe political spectrums like that, is a pure MORON.

keep educating the idiots that if they switch sides so extremely like that, then they really have no intelligence at all.

Are you kidding me? You would rather have another four years of McBush and the corporate cronies than vote for B.O. It is a shame that you are so single minded that you would rather vote against your interests than vote for Obama. His and Hillary's Policies are so close that is why the primaries were so close. The shame of it is that I would have voted for Clinton if Obama had lost, because anything is better than what we have. It is a sad day when you will sell your grandchildren down the river because of sour grapes. I hope you take a look at the supreme court, social programs, health care, social security, and the constitution, just to name a few subjects that may come up in the next administration.

He just secured my vote…..

Some say that Obama and his wife have been disrespectful to HRC and they are upset by that??? Has HRC and Bill Clinton been the most respectful to the Obama's??? Now come on PUMA or whatever please look at it from another perspective then your own and be honest.

I understand Hillary's supporters are disappointed. But is this how you show respect for all she has worked for, by trying to make sure someone who goes against everything she stands for is elected? You understand the impact of a McCain presidency? You understand he wants Roe overturned and considers his SCOTUS ideals to be Scalia and his pupet Thomas? You understand he wants to allow corporations to run rough-shod over all the less-than-wealthy? You understand McCain wants to allow the likes of Exxon-Mobile to reap obscene profits while Americans continue to lose their jobs and homes? That he sees no problem with those who are responsible for the mortgage crisis getting huge bonuses while many Americans have to choose between heat and food for their families? Please, don't play silly, petty revenge politics with the lives of Americans hanging in the balance. For many it WILL mean life and death. Do you want to be responsible for more of Americas youth sent to Iraq and then Iran to die for his machismo fix? That is what you are insuring with this sort of rhetoric. This is way too serious for grudges, this is where we have to act like responsible adults.
Wake up! Hillary would have been great but to campaign against Obama Biden is just dumb.

It's funny how Hillary supporters would rather want another Republican regime in place for the next 4 years rather than voting for the ideals that Hillary Clinton stood for. Funny… if it weren't so sad…

I'm sure it's just a small vocal minority of Hillary supporters that's making all the hoopla… but sad nonetheless…

And not to point something obvious out, but you realize John McCain isn't the youngest guy and if age catches up with him while he's in the White House, hope that he doesn't pander to the right-wing conservative nutjobs with his VP pick… else you may end up ruing the day that Obama didn't win in 2008. (Lets see how many Supreme Court Justices the next president gets to choose…)

Obama has the right to pick his running mate, but he would have had a lot more of my respect if he considered clinton. I will still vote for Obama because our country can't deal with Mccain for the next four years. Too bad I won't be able to cast my vote with the zeal I would have liked to. How did we end up in this situation? The race is too close, and it shoud have been a no brainer….

I don't quite understand why people won't vote because HRC wasn't picked as the VP? With all respect I don't get it.

1) Some HRC supporters said that because she wasn't at the top of the ticket they won't vote?

2) Some HRC said because she wasn't the VP, they won't vote because she was disrespected?

3) Should Richardson, Edwards, Dodd, etc. supporters not vote because their canidate wasn't chosen? So HRC is considered disrespect and the other who ran on the Democratic ticket weren't?

Thank Goodness. My vote now goes to Barack Obama. I will never vote
for HillBill for anything.

Woo hoo! I'm a republican woman and I was very nervous that Obama was going to pick Hillary - and it would have been OVER for my party. Now, I know we can win. Thank you for picking a guy who voted for the iraq war. Thank you for picking a guy. Thank you for picking a for sure liberal! thank you thank you thank you. The republican reign will never end!

Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey hey hey, Goodbye. see ya in 2012 Hill-dawg when President Obama will have pulled our troops out of Iraq, find and kill Osama in Afghanistan, solve the mortgage crisis at home so we all can have a roof over our heads, and save planet Earth by being the first GREEN President who turned this great nation from being 80% dependent on oil to an alternative fuel nation like Venezuela figured out 30 years ago.

Sorry McLame we will NOT drill here and drill now. We will use solar, wind, and bio-diesel fuels instead to run our daily lives so my kids and their kids have a freakin' planet to live on 50 years from now. I know you don't care McCain cause by the way you look, you can drop dead at any minute in one of your 7 homes, and if the Earth dies of pollution no biggie. Plus all of your kids have trust funds waiting for them. Well my little girl does not have a trust fund, and her dad is busting his hump to save up for college for her in a job that might or might not be shipped overseas if you become President. I cannot let that happen buddy. Maybe next time. Besides your only in it for 4 years anyway and we need someone who wants to lead our great nation back on top of the world.

Good. Now she can continue on her way to the nomination as Democrat presidential candidate. Obama cannot win. - raycar

This makes it easier for this democrat to vote for John McCain.
First time Republican vote at age 60. Feels good

If Clinton is old school, what does that make Biden? I thought he was the candidate of change………….what happened?

An early commenter hit it square on the head….those of you who are still pinning for HRC, please remember this election is not just about winning the White House, or being a "first" in our history books.. It's also about the seats on the Supreme Court that will undoubtedly be emptying in the next 4-8 years. If you HRC persons want to help reverse Roe vs. Wade and watch more of your civil rights disappear, please jump on the McCain bandwagon and witness what your vote will accomplish. Please also remember your children and your grandchildren will find their lives much less economically stable as they try to find a way to pay their own bills and the leftover debt from the Republicans. This election is about our future as a country in a global economy we never imagined in our wildest dreams until the reality of neo-cons began carving out a methodical approach to worldly control. Please re-think before you not vote, or vote for more of the same.

Keyboard……..11 dollars

Watching a bunch of crybaby "libs" promise not to vote in November, because "Queen Clinton" may have to apply for a job at Mc Donalds……………………………….PRICELESS

Please, you Hillary supporters that keep quoting that inflated figure of 18 million voters, stop, please stop. If it were that many of you, I doubt very seriously she would be in so much debt. Obviously, that number includes voters whose intentions were not honorable when they voted for her, okay? Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos ring a bell? The rest of us have figured it out, why haven't you?

Obama/Biden '08

yes thank god now i have a good reason not vote for him. whew! how is he going to promote change with someone who has been in the senate longer then McCain. i like to see that. and he is at least john's age. well im glad Hillary isnt on the ticket because it wouldn't be worth it for her to stoop to his level she is more powerful then him and she is better then him.

Yes We Can!

Amazing! Democrats turning on each other and the convention hasn't even taken place.
I wish there was a candidate worthy of my vote this election.I have voted Republican in the past, when I like the candidate. At times I see Democrats that are worth my vote.I'm not wrapped up in partisan politics like just about everyone here. It really sucks that our country is at war right now, however the militants aren't going to just stop and go away.We can't just move troops and just wish this thing away.Iraq is just a partial mistake.It had to happen , however it's been handled badly.Here are all those post cold war peace dividends we invested in for around 5 decades.I blame both party's for this nonsense.
As for Hillery & Bill isn't anyone aware of all the people who died around them? Like a man who said to be a suicide with a gunshot wound to the back of hie head? And Whitewater?
Have any of you bothered to take an objective look at Obamas varnished past? Unions, mob connections payola and cheap property? He's dirty not as dirty as the Clintons, but still dirty. And McCain? jeez is he wishy washy. He doesn't seem to know what the hell he's for or against. I used to really like him now I think he's not playing with a full deck.
And to spend all those millions of dollars on a $200,000 a year job?
It's only about power at that level anymore. More pork, payola favors and the average American gets screwed again with recycled promises
yet again.
How about fixing the freaking tax code? No one person even understands it. More immigration laws? Why? we have enough on the books, we just haven't made a serious effort to enforce what we have.
All because of power and money. Look around you if you have those 2 things you can even buy justice.
Our Military is 2 small to handle todays problems.
Our National guard troops shouldn't be used for fires and other disasters for which they aren't trained. It's time for a national disaster force with aircraft heavy equipment, fire trucks, medics, firemen, Dr's that can respond to anyplace in the US. Use old Military bases to house them.

Oh and while we are at it can't we find at least one man or woman who is honest hard working to lead this great country? Someone who doesn't care about power and money?

God Bless America!

I pray everyday my fellow Americans will be able to look past media hype,bias and innuendo and save this great land for the generations that will(hopefully follow)

Ok my Rant is over now

No Hillary — No Vote

I refuse to believe that the Clintons and Obama didn't sit down and talk out a strategy to give her an important position in his administration. It doesn't make sense that he wouldn't do something for her and her supporters. I can't see him denying her VP and sending her back to the Senate empty-handed. I'm positive they've worked something out.

It would not surprise me one bit if Hillary gets appointed to the Supreme Court. She's certainly smart enough, it would give her a perfect opportunity to protect women's rights in a very real and concrete way, and it would ensure that there is a strong woman still serving on the bench when Ruth Bader-Ginsberg finally retires.

While the thought of a President Hillary Clinton totally terrified me and the thought of her as VP made me worry for Obama's safety, I don't think she could object to a position that would make it possible for her to wage a real and meaningful war for women's rights in perpetuity. The woman is a hellcat. There would be no overturning of Roe v. Wade in our lifetimes.

A position on the Supreme Court would allow her to make her own path, rather than follow in the footsteps of her husband. She'd keep the boys in line too. Scalia would probably go toe to toe with her, but I'll bet you she'd keep everyone else in check, even Roberts.

Justice Hillary Rodham Clinton…I like it.

lost 2 votes in my household…mccain '08 - hillary '12

Two thing's first she burned alot of bridges with a dirty campaign,
and they would not reveal the names of donors to the clinton Library.

Knowone wanted another whitewater.

McCain will win one more vote from the undecided, and may be a lot more,Go Hillary 2012

And why shouldn't he take care of his supporters? We SUPPORTED him. Or do you not think that Hillary would have done the same thing? Saying you'll vote for McCain is a bigger insult to Hillary and her party than anything Obama could every do…you're essentially saying that because your favorite didn't win, you'll betray everything she stood for by voting for the man that stands for everything she stood against. Well thought out, indeed.

Thanks GOD its BIDEN and not Hillary… I can't stand her!!!

I am tired of all the BS I am reading here and throughout the last two months… Why isn't anyone stating the obvious: you are not voting for Obama because he is black. Die hard Clinton supporters…aka diehard democrats plotting to sabotage the democratic party's chances of taking the white house. This is utter stupidity. Four more years of republican policies, if you can call them that, is insane. I for one will be a proud supporter of Obama 08… I hope the rest of you don't ruin it for all of us by abstaining or voting McCain.

How is that that people are willing to vote or not vote based on "allegiance" instead of looking at the policies and doing what's best for the country? Those of you Hillary Supporters that are being stubborn about this, you know what, I hope you vote for McCain and I also hope YOU suffer the consequences of your actions for 4 more years. Just don't ever complain about the state of our country and how we are lagging on so many fronts.

The stakes couldn't be any higher. I have no respect for you "throw away" stubborn voters. Vote because you think the candidate will do this country good! Don't throw away an election.

PS. I'm sure Hillary was considered but in the end of the day, Barack was never the one to take a course of action simply for the votes. It has to fit his ideology. That's fine. Go Dems!!

Hillary supporters disgust me

PUMA the Obama campaign owe you nothing. Hillary lost fair and square. First you guys want her to be president, then when she loses it's sexism, then she deserve the vice-presidency, oh! Her 18m voters need to be respected, Bill and Hill get prime time speaking spot in Denver….You guys make me sick with your demands and it was time to cut you loose
Biden is the VP nominee, you either put up with it or "shut the hell up" and join the right wing as you all say to vote for whomever you please.
It won't matter in the end, Obama is the next POTUS.
Obama/Biden 08,12

What is it about this women that she can't figure out when she is out of the race? She was out of the Primary by Feb. 2, 2008….Super Tuesday, but carried it out until June. Did she really think she was on the ticket for VP? She and Bill have made Obama's life miserable with their unending needs to be adored and noticed. Believe me, if Obama picked Hillary he would have lost because there are so many supporters of Obama who would never tolerate the Clintons on the ticket and she should have known this the minute he won the Primary.

that's the end of my democratic support. My family and friends will be voting McCain in Nov.. .Thanks for making the decision for us.. Helen

doesnot matter….
my vote is anti-Republican this time……

I know what a mess I did in last 2 elections……..NOT THIS TIME……………….

People here are commenting that Hillary thinks she's entitled to it? What about Obama? He is such a pretender that it makes me sick. I may disagree with Hillary on lots of things, but she's actually done stuff. Somehow, all these Obama messianic nuts think that some community organizer is suddenly qualified to be president.

I don't think so.

He should at least have offered it to her.Obama is afraid of real challenges. He won't face McCain in a town hall, and he wouldn't face Hillary. He's afraid of the challengers, and he thinks he can stare down Ahmadinejad?

What if he loses his bullet points during that meeting?

Wow, once again…Obama supporters show up in full force to insult Clinton and her supporters. You people are really stupid.

The lack of respect the Obama supporters have for the Clintons is disgusting. Our country had great prosperity and achievements during Bill Clintons term. I'll be voting for HIllary as a write-in this November. I won't be supporting a Democratic party that has become so contemptuous and ignorant.

Obambi ripped Hillary to shreds for her vote to "Authorize Force in Iraq". He ridiculed her claim that she "trusted" Pres. Bush. He claimed that her decision disqualified her from being President. Yet now he picks the second biggest proponent of the Iraq War.

Can anyone say what Obambi stands for other that than his great big ego?

hahaha. hillary just got owned.

Many of the above comments reflect the non-commital support of the Democratic party which the supporters of HRC declared during the primaries. Deciding not to vote or to vote Republican is truly pathetic. Look at your decision and I hope you understand that you've cut off your nose to spite your face. Did BO make the right choice with his pick for VP???????????? Only time will tell. Would he have made the wrong choice if he had picked HRC? No doubt about it, the answer is emphatically YES. It would have been "her way or the highway." Vote! Vote! Vote! Hillery, you are many things………a role model you are not.. Jimmie

Any of you who vote for McCain out of spite, anger, or otherwise frustration that Hillary didn't win the nomination/wasn't selected as Obama's running mates are complete and utter idiots. Not only are you not real democrats, but you have no care for the near future of this country, our soldiers in Iraq, or how we are viewed internationally. Don't bash Bush and then be idiotic and vote for McSame. This is sheer stupidity - the last thing this country needs right now is people who are sore losers.

Look, if Hilary was the right candiate, she would have won.

She isn't the best candidate and she didn't win.

Get over yourselves.

Just remember that if Hilary's supporters vote McCain into power in 2008, you will get the govt that you deserve….it will not be forgotten in 2012.

John McSame McCain is just going to finish up what the Bush administration started. You people are acting like emotional foolish children. American kids are dying and being shredded over in Iraq and John McBush wants to keep them over there for 100 years, he said it himself. Obama-Biden is the way for true Democrats to vote. Look, a lot of you people here writing messages are suffering financially or is next in line to lose your job! One thing for certain Hillary Clinton is going to be all right she's rich and will only get richer the rest of her life. What about you? Therefore, please rise above your emotion into your right thinking. Democrats we can't let McBush get into the office. Our country can't take another four years of this Madness, and it is our duty as citizens to rescue our beautiful country for she has been good to us! Vote Obama-Biden 08!! It's our duty!!!

Don't count Hillary out just yet. She speaks then Bill Speaks. She still has the majority of Democrats like me who would not vote for that anti-American lying Obama under any circumstances. We have not forgotten how Hillary was screwed by the leaders of the Democratic party over Michigan and Florida. Let's pray for a Clinton take over at convention! Obama would be a disaster for America. The only way you could make the ticket worse would be to put Joe Biden on it which appears to be just what O. Hussein Barack Jr. did.

He didn't even vet her…never asked for her opinion. How disrespectful could he possibly be?

The dems have been very disrespectful to Clinton. I never thought I would see them treat a woman so poorly.

Dear Karen and angry Hillary supporters:

I please explain your thought process to me. As a hint, I'm a guy who worked for the ERA in my youth, and was an early Hillary supporter before I switched to Barack. Hillary said over and over again, it’s not about me, it’s about the issues. But if what you say is true, and that you would rather see another 3 trillion wasted, thousands more young men die in a needless war, the nation and planet put at risk because of peak oil and global warming, and the constitution treated like toilet paper, rather than vote for that “inadequate black man”, then it really wasn't about the issues, but just about getting a woman in the Whitehouse. Because otherwise, how you could believe so strongly in what she said during the campaign, but now ignore her now when she’s an Obama supporter. I just don't understand. And just so you know, I sent Hillary’s campaign $100 after she conceded to help pay off her debt even though I couldn't really afford it, because, for me, it really was about the issues and party unity.

Very disappointed.

as much as i love clinton and think she would have been the better choice for "PRESIDENT", i really hope that the US supporters of clinton still vote for Obama. have any of you in america paid attention to our Prime Minister here. hes a nut and McCain and him are so alike its sickening. we need to get Harper out and you need to keep McCain OUT…vote for your Dems. Hillary we be posted to a much better and rewarding seat than the VP. She's better off and we know that she will get a seat somewhere important. I have to believe that Obama knows she is more worthwhile in another position than that of VP. I have faith in Obama with world politics. Give him a chance to prove himself at least. DO NOT vote for mccain, that would be insane

Huge mistake not picking Hillary. Dems will now lose the election and we will get a right heavy Supreme court. Obama just lost the election. How arrogant can one be? He was barely ahead in the latest polls. Now he will be behind. Good thing everyone found out about his poor decision making before he ruined the country even more than good old George Bush.

there is a God somewhere what a relief—–phew!

I can't believe he drew this our so long to end up with Biden….I think it makes it even worse for us Hillary supporters….I didn't expect him to pick her…but as time went on and this was being hyped so much…I thought this has to be big….and I started to get my hopes up it could be Hillary…not to mention I think she is the best choice and can really do him some good in every state!! So when it ended up being Biden I was and am really bummed… and although I would never vote for McCain….I really don't want to vote for Obama…I already feel let down by him….

Hmmm, seems to me the pro-Hillary anti-any other Democrat lunatic fringe loves Hillary more than they love America. Maybe they should leave?

I wanted obama first and Hilary as his vp but now its him and Biden he will most likely lose the election watch the cnn election poll and youll see obama drop fast and McCain take a good lead.

He wont win now he has to get very lucky if he does

Obama 2008

Clinton 2012

To any of you who would be so shallow as to not support Sen. Obama because he didn't kiss the hand of the Clintons enough, WHATEVER…

Regardless of what happens in November (and Obama WILL win), you've shown yourselves to be the kind of citizens who would rather watch this country sink deeper in debt, grow more out of touch with the True American Dream and plunge into more NEEDLESS WARS JUST TO PROVE YOUR POINT!

But hey, it's a free country right? (For Now…)

Obama/Biden '08-'16

"I will be writing her name in!"

OH NOES!!!! You will beat the system at it's own game….How will the USA recover from your master plan to over throw its voting system that barely works anyway! I'm sure the vote counters will gladly toss your ballot in the garbage and you will have wasted all that time trying to prove a point that really makes no difference.

Listen kids…I know that you are upset and honestly i'm a little surprised as well(I don't get upset over matters that I can't control). Instead of voting for someone out of spite or just being completely worthless and writing in a name…..Stay at home!

You seem to need some time to grow up and realize that things don't always go the way you want them to. I am not here to bash anyone for who they felt was the right candidate, but to seriously vote for someone else because you are upset or even the dumb write in thing is really giving a nice slap in the face to the people that fought for you to even have that right to cast a fair and educated vote. I know that people will probably say "well, you have to fight for what you believe in." and I fully agree. However, being dumb while doing so really negates the positive there don't you think? Self Righteousness will get you nowhere!

I seriously don't care who you vote for, but do it for the right reasons and not because your feelings are hurt. This isn't a lottery ticket folks, so please don't treat it like one!

A vote for McCain is a vote for 4 more years of Bush. America, do the right thing and vote for Barack. You may be bitter that he won over HIllary, but do you seriously want another 4 years of the same lies, fear tactics, and tax cuts for the rich? You Clinton supporters are stupid to vote for McCain because Barack didn't pick her. User your common sense and vote for the interest of America and clearly McSame is not the answer.

I am going to vote McCain this November— I can't believe those words are coming out of my mouth— Obama has lost the election.

A third party, write in, whatever it takes, Hillary!

Well, the PUMAs are not much to worry about. They rallied around Hillary and got each of her 18 million supporters to send an average of $0.10 per person to help retire her debt. Wow, what a powerful political force they are, lol.

Now, for the first time in 20 years, I'm actually undecided. For someone who says he's about "change" and actually had a chance to truly make this election about real change by choosing a strong and intelligent woman (one who almost beat him), he chooses to go with the typical choice we all new he would. WOW - change??? Not so sure about that any longer. To not even have her on her short list as a courtesy is a clear demonstration of his continued arrogance and insecurity that a very qualified woman almost won. I hate to say, but he and only he will lose us this election. A very disappointed democrate…

Clinton would have been the first an
