CNN

ask us if we care who the obamas' vp is real or fake....obama is the

fake and trying hard to keep the truth from America....oh what mystery

oh what a rock star...nothing asked about IS HE CAPABLE OF

LEADERSHIP...we know he can fake being a rock-star...

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::INDEPENDENT VOTING MCCAIN::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

such devoted parents will always seek out the best interests for our children (President Hillary), regardless of any obstacles or challenges, because unlike obama (ignoring his half brother in Kenya), family for us comes first....

Obama can Call it ‘Country Club Economics' if he wants, but he shouldn't cast stones while living in a 1.5 million dollar house that is tied to dirty Chicago politics as usual and making over 4 million dollars in 2007.

disrespect for Senator Clinton does not adequately disguise your guilt for supporting lesser candidates

why all the hpe about the VP choices, my my the way the new is reported

Marie – I am so in agreement with you but hey.... if Obama choose her you know what ..... he still gets my vote plain and simple – the fate of America is bigger then the Clintons...... I still say go for Biden though.... I like attitude and he is tuff no non sense intelligent person .... he will knock the socks off the repugs...

To Erika, KS,

Ok, so you just called oboma supporters narrow minded? at the beggining of your statement you said everyone from texas is nuts.....how is that not narrow-minded????

Anyone on planet earth but HillBillary!

He will pick either Suge Knight or Robert Redford.

Obama/Knight '08
Obama/Redford '08

Either ticket is one all the way to the white house!

NEWS: IRAQ WANTS THE U.S. OUT OF IRAQ IN 10 MONTHS WHICH MEANS THEY DON'T WANT US THERE FOR 100 YEARS AS JOHN MCCAIN HAS SAID. WHAT WILL MCCAIN THE WAR MONGLER SAY AND DO NEXT.

I like Colin Power or Bill Ricardson.

One of the two is find with me.
If you are dem. You would be a fool to vote McCain, If he keeps War going there will be a Draft. I was around when they had the last draft. Your children will be forced to go.

Keep dreaming on that Obama/Powell ticket. Hmmm. not one, but two black men. Don't think so. I'm not racist, just a realist.

Keep dreaming on that Obama/Powell ticket. Never gonna happen my friend.

I notice the sour grapes from the Hillarybots.
The fact that she didn't win doesn't seem to have clicked yet.
The fact that she is 25 mil in debt doesn't strike you as a reason to question her ability to balance a budget?
Have you even looked beyond the fact that more Democrats didn't want her than wanted her for Pres?
How will you feel if we decide that we are going third party because we don't like Hillary?
Take a long look at yourself.
Just because you didn't get what you wanted doesn't mean you get to throw a tantrum or try to blame it on everybodybutme.
Hillary didn't win because a more people wanted Obama.
Simple.
Alienating "Obama lemmings" won't endear them to your cause.

No, we was going to be HILLARY's choice, so he won't be Obama's.

I love the headline. What does this man know?

Apparently nothing on how to solve issues in America.

Obama made his decision. Announce it already and let the free-fall begin.

ill tell you what this man evan bayh knows absolutely nothing as a voting hoosier i dont want to see obama select this dud he chased hillary all over the country now he sucking up to obaba SAY NO TO EVAN BAYH

IF MCCAIN IS GOING TO REINSTATE THE DRAFT THEN ........EVERYONE........INCLUDING 40, 60, 50, YEAR OLDS SHOULD BE DRAFTED.............STARTING WITH BUSH.CHENEY, LIMBAUGH, HANNITY, REAGAN, SAVAGE, O'REILLY...... AND ALL THOSE WHO VOTE FOR MCCAIN........ITS ONLY FAIR!

I will not vote for Obama if Hillary is his choice for VP. Anybodyesle is fine with me.

i have personally appointed Barack to be my representative these next few years.....you all should feel so blessed....

is it really that offensive to lemmings that we "threaten" to vote for the best candidate for our children and our troops? i didn't realize that supporting Senator Clinton was a threat to someone else as opposed to our obligation to do what is best for those we love....

Evans kids are almost old enough to be drafted.Yippie.

Obama you are the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Obama will pick Reverend Jeremiah Wright because they have the same value system as well as the same view of America.

What does this man know?

Nothing.. he is a democrat

I love the fact that Obama has all of you so interested that you are writing here....thank you

Signup your kids today.

How come no one is giving updates on what Hillary is doing right now.

I get the feeling it might be her after all.

Obambi should call Chavez in Venezuela and ask him to be his VP; his friend AYERS is in Venezuela giving speeches. Yeahwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! Long live Che Guevara!!! That would thrill all Marxists, Socialist supporters of Obambi!

Could it be him if he is taking his sons to camp?
It's kind of late for a summer camp now, isn't it?

obama wants a nobody to be the VP. After all Mr. egotisticial, arrogrant and me me me me couldn't stand it if the VP outshone his stupidity. When you have a second in command who is dumber, stupidier and stumbing bumbler it will make him look better. But then stop and think there AINT' A DARN THING IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WILL MAKE obama LOOK GOOD. And thats a fact.

Better hope it's not Bayh if you want to lose. Bayh is CFR and Bilderberg, not to mention he voted for the war (that's right, Bayh is pro-war, pro-patriot act= neo-con). He served with John McCain on the neo-con Commitee for the Liberation of Iraq in 2003. This was a commitee that heavily pushed for the invasion of Iraq.
No change coming folks.

McCain = Bush

I am scared to live in a country where people would vote a Republican for President after the utter disaster this country has endured over the past 8 years.

McCain is Bush's creepy uncle. They have the same outdated way of thinking and out of touch philosophy on economics.

I truly believe 4 years with McCain would make the US a failed state.

I hope the VP is not Bayh because I don't think he would sincerely try to help Barack. I know at that level people are pretty selfish,but Bayh was a Hillary supporter and she was the queen of selfishness. I heard her say she's done more than any other opponent. What liar. She's done nothing but try to get her money back these past months. Two days before the Convention she's running around "pretending " to support Barack. If Bayh supported her, he's probably selfish as well. I hope Barack doesn't pick Bayh, Kaine, or Richardson. I hope its's Biden or the new guy Chet Edwards.

the obama lemmings and dubya robots have at least one thing in common: they will always suppot their candidate, even when it is clear it is not in the best interests of America

This is getting really old! I mean come on this is a serious decision that Obama is making and he's treating it like it's a game. Just tell the public who the VP candidate is and let's move on. ENOUGH! If you want to be President of the United States then grow up and act like an adult because right now you're acting like a selfish, arrogant teenager who thinks he can do and say whatever he wants.

Oh my God!!!! I loved Pedro's response to VP pick....it's the only one that made sense. So much time wasted blogging over this. On a serious note, this is serious business, it's not life or death for goodness' sakes. No wonder our respect is slipping in the world when this is all we can talk about.

On a lighter note, everyone should really read Pedro's blog, it was great, thanks for the laughs!!!!!

To the Hillary support who was dumb enough to actually post his phone number here, how much money have you contributed to Hillary's campaign? How much have you given to help reduce her debt?

Another Million Dollar+ home????

Nice hat!

"I'm not the guy"!.......yet! BUT, I'M HOPING,MAYBE TO BE THE GUY! .........

FYI.. Pelosi mentioned Chet Edwards. Obama owes her big time so maybe he will repay her by choosing Chet Edwards..

Mothers dont be afraid to sign up your kids today for the free "John McCain Draft Card Kit' for induction into the military.PS. body bag not included.

Hoping it is her and that it has been since the secret meeting. To all who think they hate her or say they do on here, Id like to know reasons why! If you try to write them down ,it might not look so good to you on paper and you could change your mind and give her a chance?

I'm tired of waiting for Obama to let us know who is his running mate. Enough of the hype.

4518 Iraqi civilians have died in 2008

I feel sorry for those who are still whining about Hillary not getting enough votes to earn the nomination. Claiming to vote for McCain unless Obama chooses Hillary is #1 blackmail and #2, pathetic.

Do you people really think Obama is going to choose Hillary just because you all threaten to vote for McCain?

Anyone stupid enough to vote against their party and continue another four years of the current mess this country is in because the candidate they supported lost the primaries should not be allowed to vote.

It scares me that we live in a world where people have this mentality.

While you morons are camped outside a guy's house all night in hopes of BEING THE FIRST, do you ever think about what you might be doing to his family? They should call the police.

Lisa-Le, trust me on this one.... it will NOT be Colin Powell. (He's too smart to take the spot and risk being labeled a "loser" come November).

BTW, it's spelled Obama, not O'bama.

It will probably be Biden because he has been giving Obama information on Iraq so Obama can take credit for it. Another Obama sham. Obama is a liar and a cheat.

I don't care who's VP as long as the president isn't that man...Obama!

OBAMA-CLARK '08

It's always amazing to me how many people make rude, ignorant comments without knowing what they are talking about. You've got international information sources (you seem to be able to use the Internet), but many of you go off the subject. The title of CNN's blog was "What does this man know?". I'll tell you what he knows...he knows a heck of a lot more than you and me. So, please keep quiet and learn to read and research, something Senator Obama has been encouraging for years to kids. Get a life and start doing something (anything) instead of useles, time-consuming, self-satisfying complaints.

All you haters have to admit, this is pretty exciting. When was the time an election had so much hype. Give the Obama team credit, they have mastered the art of marketing a political campaign.

The media is feigning!

This will be fun, almost sad knowing it's all over in Nov.

Obama's big problem is not the selection of VP.
He is in the wrong party and wrong side of issues such as taxes

How can the US compete in a global economic world if he proposes TAXING up?.

Already the taxes in the US are so high (combining the fed and state), the businesses are fleeing away to countries like India who offer ZERO TAXATION (to companies in some specified tech. parks)

To Tom Swift:

There are more than just you who think like that. The problem with Hillary, is that I don't want her for president. Didn't want her to begin with don't want her for prez now.

Already had a clinton in the WH times were OK, I just want something not Clinton, not Bush.

Looked at Ron Paul, I may not agree with him on much of everything, but I respect his ideals.

O'BAMA VP will be non other than Colin Powell do the Darn thing.. IN 2008. Yes we can and I know we will.. A Change Is Going To Come Sooner Than Later.

Work It out O'Bama!

Edwards!!
LOL

CNN PLEASE REPORT ON MCCAIN AND THE DRAFT COME ON CNN YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE FAIR AND BALANCED, ENOUGH OF OBAMA ALREADY REPORT ON MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT BE LIKE FOX NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John wants those kids to sign up for the DRAFT.

I hope Obama picks this cream puff!

McCain 08 and Hillary 2012!

By the way, Obama would be stupid enough to name his running mate on a Friday on late August.

Tom Swift, Shopton USA: LOL! You are as bad as a PUMA! Welcome!!!

I hope I can tell you at one point, "She's VP – Get Over It!"

This has gotten out of hand. It's gotten to the point where I expect to see Miss Cleo or someone reading an Astrological chart to find out who has a chance of being VP. Over it.

And, BTW, any one who thinks that Obama cannot pick a woman besides Hillary is just plain sexist. This is coming from a Hillary supporter.

Just get 'er done! I'm sick of this media circus.

If Obama doesn't pick Hillary, He will have to wear the dunce cap when this is all over. If he picks Hillary, my guess is he wins by a landslide. If he doesn't, my guess is he looses by a landslide.

By the way, I hope McCain blows him away, whether or not he picks Hillary. Obama is not the One.

Bayh-Bayh. Bayh. Toodle-loo! Nobody knows you....

Where's the necessary name-recognition. No time for that......

I hope it isn't BAYH, because anyone from Hillary's camp scares me. Her people just seem not to be trusted. She is a snake and I just feel that people from her camp eat rodents when they are hungry, and sometimes we need rodents to make like complete.

How many houses does he own? Just wondering...if he is "qualified?"

The Democratic Party NEEDS a MAJOR! OVERHAUL!. Forget about 2008 (Barack's gonna fell out short, i.e no 270 EV for him come Nov.) or 2012 (The electoral college's gonna change because of the 2010 Census). So start thinking about 2016. You got 8 yrs. You've! been! warned!.

Why doesn't CNN cover McCains statement in New Mexico on re-instating the draft and his statement that he only wants to be President for personal accomplishment???Both covered on MSNBC.

Biden would be a wise choice. Hillary would be a better choice, but she would constantly remind him of her 18 million voters and how she should be respected.

Obama 08! Go away Hillary.

It will be a slap in the face to all of the Hillary supporters if Obama doesn't choose her as Vice President.

It's also going to be a sad day for Democrates, Obama is not going to win.

Obama should pick Hillary and then relegate the Clintons to the old executive office like they did to Al Gore back in the 90s instead of them being in the WH.

Denise what are you tallking about????

WHO WAS THE IDIOT THAT MENTIONED CAROLINE KENNEDY FOR
VP?? TALK ABOUT NO EXPERIENCE. It would be like the blind leading the blind. Other than having the Kennedy name, she has
nothing..she seems alittle dim witted to me.

Gerald Downs

Why don't the millions of you that won't vote for Obama if hillary is not on the ticket, send $2.00 to get her out of debt, it's not Obama's responsibility to do that but yet hillary's supporter like you think he should.

Go ahead and vote for the confused mc old timer nobody cares. It's not working, your threat. Get over it she won't be VP. so let the voting begin. LOL

Obama

Has anyone of you so-called McCain supporters, heard a word out of his mouth?!?!?!? He told a group of Marines that he wanted to go to war with Iran as soon as he became president!!!! We are the least moral country in the world, trying to push our "morals" on other countries. GET McCAIN OUT OF THE RUNNING!!!!!! He only stands for war and more problems with our economy.

Bayh doesn't know anything. Which would make him the smarter individual on the Obama ticket.

Obama is acting just like a little flippy drama queen, he is milking this Veep selection for all it's worth. At this point, who really cares, we are so tired of hearing about it every 5 minutes, the air has been taken out of it and it's now at point of feeling, "Yeah, yeah, just name someone and let's get on with the business that Americans really want to hear, what can you do about a failing economy?" Why does Obama have to make the simplest things such an earth shattering event? I feel it's to divert attention away from his lack of leadership.

The Democratic Party...

Speaking to American Citizens as adults.

The Republican Party....

dumb-it-down... keep-it-simple... lie-lie-smear-fear-distort.....

(watch cue-cards-Mccain during his 'invite only' town halls)

McPOW is a joke! Being a POW doesn't make one a hero... u have to do something to be one, not captured by the enemy!! He shoulda went down fighting if he loved his country so much!
In Basic, you are taught that being a POW make you lower than whale dung... just for that reason!
Now he will go down.... to the clerks office and pay his fair share of taxes!!

Obama is going to lose in Nov unless his vp is Hillary. Her strengths cover his areas of weakness. Besides, he owes her......she taught him how to campaign better during the primaries......he copied her.
Should he offer her the vp slot.....she should then officially turn it down and teach this man to have a little humility. Hillary in 2012.

I wondered how anyone wouldn't know who Bayh is, then I remembered, there are people who would vote for McCain, a man who at one time had character, and who is as "deep" as Bush, bc their hero Hillary didn't get the nomination. Do you see the Biden, Richardson, Dodd, Edwards, etc backers being so childish?This shows no understanding of much of anything. There are, sadly, enough nincompoops to get McBush elected.
Oh, by the way for you vapids out there, his father, Birch Bayh was a fine senator and often on short lists. He was favored by the union movement and many others for President back in the 70's.

Yes, argue amongst yourselves and the republicans will win again. Morons, a party divided never wins. Keep it up and we’ll get the prize.

Based on what I hear on this board, Obama needs a white male, that is tough on defense, and shares his economic views on taxation and the role of government.

I hear Putin is available.

To Clinton supporters who will vote for McCain over Obama:
You have no business voting because you are obviously not educated on the issues. Clinton and Obama are almost identical on important issues while McCain is their polar opposite. Uninformed voters are dangerous voters....look at the last 2 elections!
I really do not understand your "logic" other than the fact that you have some sort of grudge that is more important to you than what is good for the country. It makes you look childish.

Brewhouse Bob doesn't miss Bill

He misses Jimmy!

'

It's really very simple.

`

what the heck, they had obama-edwards'08 signs already made probably didnt want to spend on new ones.

I hope Hillary is no where on the ticket. If voters can't see through the fact that she would cause more harm to him than good, it is a sad day in America. If she wanted to be VP, she would have dropped out of the race when there was no hope for her to win the nomination instead of trying to knock him off by any means necessary. If she is Obama's VP choice, she might try to become the president by any means necessary.

I hope it's Biden if Obama thinks he can work with him.

1. Bayh

2. Biden

3. Clinton

My choices for VP in that order.

McCain wants to reinstitute the draft. He admitted it in NM. Do we really want America to be a military state? Ed Schultz was right. John McCain is a warmonger.

Obama 08/12

Bayh, like Obama, has no record of accomplishmsnts in the Senate. If he didn't have his father's name, he'd be working in a factory. And don't Democrats realize that the Indiana governor is a Republican? If Bayh were to be elected VP, the governor would name a Republican to fill his vacant Senate seat. Don't the Dems want a veto-proof majority? Why would they by stupid enough to give away a Senate seat which they may not recapture in the next election? And Bayh certainly won't get Obama any more votes than he'd get anyway; Obama gets the black vote in the northwest corner of the state and in Indianapolis, while McCain gets the rest.

For Obama to pick Bayh would be a stupid move; so I hope he does it.

He knows that Obama needs a tall white man in a big yellow hat to win..

Obama,
Pick The Jonas Brothers, or i'm going to McCain.

He knows very little if he is even considering being Obama's running mate...

BHO can't find anyone with less experience than himself and he wants to be top dog.
On the other hand he has no military experience, no business experience, no core values and needs someone that knows something to tell him what to do. In other words a puppet master.
McCain 08

EVAN BAYH or baseless could have been a better fit for Hillary Clinton. The only way Obama can win this thing, this time, is to go with Clinton, regardless of the tension. Who cares about VP after election?

Hopefully, Obama's "biden" his time before announcing Biden.

1:04PM EASTERN

SONG BIRD MC CAIN..

The Answer to Why Is simply ONE WORD...

RACISM.

Hillary, call me. i'll give you a nickel.

Obama will win regardless. All things considered, Bayh is going to get the call.

Evan Bayh, looks to me like Dan Quayle, he shows no spirit, no sponk and Obama, needs de other side of the coin opposed to him, he needs an attack pit-bull, and Biden can provide that to balance out so if anyone wants to flip the coin to see heads (positive) or tails (negaative) the coin will just stand on edge (balance) and I believe the American people is looking for something like that. Not an OK Coral, shootout, nor timid non confrontational. Some one who addresses the issues an brings possible solutitons to the pressing matter that are hurting the American people and the rest of the world. Not one, to bomb, bomb Iran, nor Russia, but someone that stands and speaks to these people withe sense not confrontational but with the firmness of not laiying down with submission and been stumped on.

He and obama are rather good looking guys but 2 rookies on the same ticket== President McCain.
Jennie

CNN don't quit your day job; you're almost as good as daytime soaps!

Abby you are so right! But just to put my two cents in, maybe the fact that Bayh is acting so cavalier and showing himself to be the family man is telling. The look on his face is one of being chosen..............He is not my first choice though.......

I really wish he would choose Hillary, but if not, then Joe Biden.

MC CAIN NOT KNOWING EXACTLTY HOW MANY HOMES HE OWNS GOES TO SHOW YOU.............HE'S NOT WANTING TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STSTES FOR THE MONEY///// SERVICE YOU CAN COUNT ON....... OBAMA GET BUSY WITH THAT BOOK it's DUE the 9 of SEPTEMBER....... need that money real BAD do ya.....

it is sad to see so many otherwise reasonable people turned into ignorant lemmings by obama's charm and hypocrisy....

WHO CARES WHO HIS LOSING VICE PRESIDENT PICK MAY BE. HE MIGHT AS WELL GO WITH HILLARY.

As people learn more about B. Hussein Obama, the MORE THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY SEE.

He is a SOCIALIST who has bad friends (Rev. Wright, Weather Underground members, Chicago crooks) and is INEXPERIENCED.

McCain isn't my first choice, but he certainly is a lot more experienced and believer is our capitalistic system and democracy.

OBAMA IS A DRAMA QUEEN.THIS IS WORSE THAN WHO SHOT J.R. OH HE MIGHT NOT BE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THAT!

I think Obama is milking this alittle too much, as usual he will do
anyhting for more media attention. Announce the VP and get it over
with. Enough is enough.

supporting candidate before country = dubya and obama supporters

Hi "what does this man know?" wolud be fitting for McCain !!!
He does not know how the economy works nor how many properties he owns and least when and why toquit Iraq !!!

such disrespect and/or hatred of the Clintons only disguise one's guilt for supporting such lesser candidates (mccain/obama) to take on the daunting responsibilities and tasks facing the next President....

@ ANGRY AMERICAN:

I HOPE YOU ARE ANGRY THAT YOUR PRESIDENT LIED TO YOU!

THAT YOU ARE ANGRY THAT THE GOP/BUSH/CHENEY HAVE DOUBLED THE NATIONAL DEBT TO.........$10 TRILLION!

THAT YOU ARE ANGRY THAT OUR NATION CONTINUES TO SLIP.

THAT YOU ARE ANGRY THAT WHILE BIG OIL HAS HISTORIC PROFITS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.......... HARD WORKING AMERICANS ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS.......... TRUCKERS ARE GOING BANKRUPT............. PEOPLE ARE FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY IN LARGE NUMBERS BECAUSE .........THEY CAN NOT AFFORD HEALTH CARE BILLS!

HOPE YOU ARE ANGRY ENOUGH...... TO SAY ENOUGH! TO THE GOP!

Thank you, USMC Mike.....

Thank you...

for your service.... AND for your post setting them straight.

if you truly care about the best interests of our children, our troops and America, its already clear to you that Senator Clinton is the only candidate capable of being the best President for such loved ones....

Do anyone know where is colin powell.. I think the description provided by obama suits him more than anybody else..watch out my pick from the chatter in recent days..

NO ONE ON OBAMA'S SHORT LIST FOR VP'S REPRESENTS CHANGE. SO, UNLESS HE CHOOSES KUCINICH OR BARBARA LEE...HE IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH HIS MESSAGE. oTHERWISE..PICKING ANYONE BUT HILLARY IS A HUGE INSULT AND OFFENSE TO HER AND HER SUPPORTERS. DO THE RIGHT THING, OBAMA...CHOOSE HILLARY AS VP...NO ONE CAN UNITE THE PARTY AND WIN THIS ELECTION FOR YOU EXCEPT HILLARY.

NOTHING

Doesn't matter...anyone opposed to oil drilling is going to lose!

To those who keep threatening not voting Obama if Hillary's not on ticket...go threaten someone in your own neighborhood. Blackmail is blackmail. A threat is a threat. There is NO place in this election for the crazy Clinton die-hards. They don't care about the country, just their own selfish interests...that's so sad.

i think that mystery man is none other than colin powell...watch it

Who asked you Vera from Canada?

Poor poor choice for Barack to go with this no-name, what about Bill Richardson he seems to me like the obvious choice, why would he want to choose someone like Bay or Bahy or whatever his name is?

I have been following this campaign for almost one and a half years now, and I strongly believe thar Joe Biden is the pick for VP. considering all others, Bill Richardson would also be a wise pick, he is knowledgable in energy policy, foraigh policy and security as well, but Biden is the real deal when it comes to dabating issues, besides he is a devout catholic and a strong family man. These and his record on politics is well known. So, if it is not Biden, or Richardson, I just would be left in awe.

It's going to Obama and Powell,
Mark my words!!

Thank you Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah:

Your posting has made me look into thisand there is a YouTube video from a Town Hall meeting on Wednesday that displays that McCain is open to the draft. I found it under McCain draft.

OH MY GOD!!!!! My God help us if McCain is elected!!!!

For all the people who won't vote for OBAMA without HILLARY, just admit it please...he's black stupid...that's the real reason you won't vote. He and Hillary are almost identical on issues so it has to be race, but you Hillary supporters are too scared to admit you are truly a racist. When will the people in this country get a grip on this racism thing and realize we are all God's children and we are supposed to love everyone regardless of ethnicities.

Biden??? You can't be serious; the man is a liar of Clintonian proportions...

I would like for Obama to pick me...
He can find me at the parking lot of the 7/11 in Freehold, NJ, between 7am and noon. Unless some construction guy picks me up first.
Do illegal aliens can run for VP?

I hope and pray its Joe Biden...eeeh wait i have just received a text message, its NOT Billary..Thank God!

its Don King or Flavor Flav

So Obama's half brother, age 26, born to Barrack's father, has been found in Kenya and interviewed by Italy's Vanity Fair....he lives on a dollar a month, in a shack, has seen friends murdered in his violent community where he states "the police don't arrest you, they just shoot you.", and has a newspaper picture of Barrack, a calendar of beautiful beaches of the world, and poster of italian soccer players on his shack's walls. Barack visited him 2 years ago.
Maybe Barack could have included his half brother on the trip to Hawaii?????? I hear they have nice beaches that George would have loved.

CNN care to comment?

Nice.

It want be Bayh........and maybe that is why he is not commenting.

Protect your children and your rights. Obama '08 ,YES WE CAN
YES WE CAN

STOP COUNTING OUT OBAMA JUST BECAUSE HE'S AFRICAN AMERICAN….WE MIGHT CAN SHOW THIS COUNTRY HOW IT SHOULD BE RUN!!!!

I want Hillary but will settle for Biden for Obama"s VP

To all the Hilary supporters/Obama haters if you guys were truly as commited as you CLAIM to be you would have retired her debt by now.

CNN – WHY WON'T YOU PRINT THIS!?!?

HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THAT OUR COUNTRY WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH A CANDIDATE WHO HAS A BAD TEMPER, WHO IS A WAR MONGER, WHOSE FOREIGN POLICY IS STOLEN FROM WIKIPEDIA, WHO WILL RE-INSTATE THE DRAFT, WHO WEARS $520 LOAFERS, WHO DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES HE OWNS (7), THINKS YOU'RE NOT RICH IF YOU MAKE LESS THAN $5 MILLION, WAS INVOLVED IN THE KEATING 5 AND JACK ABRAMOFF SCANDALS, A CANDIDATE WHO HAS OVER 50 LOBBYISTS ON HIS STAFF, WHO FLIP FLOPPED HIS POSITION ABOUT OFFSHORE DRILLING CONVENIENTLY AFTER RECEIVING MILLIONS FROM THE OIL INDUSTRY, A MAN CALLED SONGBIRD FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO TALK TO THE ENEMY (GOOGLE IT!), A CANDIDATE WHO WAS ENDORSED BY THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER, WHO SHARES A 95% VOTING RECORD WITH THAT SAME PRESIDENT (HOW IS THAT MAVERICK?!?!), WHO CHEATED ON HIS SICK WIFE, A CANDIDATE WHO ADMITTED HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ECONOMICS, WHO IS OLDER THAN ZIP CODES, PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY SANDWICHES, AUTOMATIC CAR TRANSMISSIONS, FM RADIO AND ALF!, A CANDIDATE WHO STEALS THE 'CROSS IN THE SAND' ANECDOTE FROM A FAMOUS AUTHOR, A CANDIDATE WHO CONSISTENTLY LIES AND DISTORTS HIS OPPONENTS' RECORD AND VIEWS, A CANDIDATE WHO WON'T CUT TAXES FOR THOSE MAKING LESS THAN $250K AS MUCH AS OBAMA WILL.

::::::::::::::::::::::INDEPENDENT VOTING OBAMA;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Who????

Please Obama, pick someone that would be a bit stronger for your campaign!

You republicans are soooo BLIND and soooo proud of it! It's amazing! Unless you too own multiple homes.... look at the MESS the majority of us are in thanks to the Republican way of doing things...

More Taxes?? How about spending money WISELY – How about moving the Nation FORWARD instead of backwards? How about NOT spending billions on a war?

I totally support Obama – but even Hillary would have been better than McCain or ANY other Republican (which I have been registered as up until this election)

McCain is the same old "I'm right and everyone else is wrong" arrogant leader that has gotten us into the mess we're in in the first place.

OH.... "can I tell a story instead of answer the question please?? " Maybe I'll get the sympathy vote....
Whatever -

Down with DNC has a 16 y/o son. His boy johnny mac gets elected and re-institutes the draft. the son is now 18 and shipped to one of McCain's wars...pick one-there will probably be several. At the funeral Down with DNC says...well...at least i didn't vote for Obama...he stole the nomination from hillary who–inspite of the fact that she ran a pitiful campaign and ran up a ton of debt–had the nomination stolen from her nonetheless. But, Johnny Mac will call from one of the western whitehouses-pick one there could be several–and offer his sincerest condolences.

I know Evan and I might add both he and Harry Reid are no friends of mine. I don't think either would be anywhere near the top of anyone's list. Reid may make the outhouse list , you know at the bottom of it. Isn't he one of the head's of a do nothing congress?

BTW, Obama is a loser. please please don't pick Hillary as the VP.

and now for the real news:I can't stand Harry Reid from Nevada," I flatly told my hometown paper, the Journal in comments Thursday.

I cannot now nor will never stand this back biting senator, Mr. Reid. The only one worse is Obama. Obama is risky and Reid doesn't understand heartland of the Mid West issues. He is stuck in a state of "legal prostitution, gambling and abortions." Yes that is what Harry Reid is all about in his state of Nevada or should we say sinstate.

Remember Reid is a do nothing senator, and 'bama is a risky choice;. Both should be defeated because they gamble with our values and our country's security.

Regardless of how you may feel about the issue, u gotta love the loyalty of these Democrats to Sen Obama. There is a lot of respect that goes along with it.

Vegas...

Your thinking has completely crapped out.

Can't stand Bayh, he has no chrisma, guts, nothing.

Does CNN plan to ship out Reporters to ALL the DEMS Homes on the Shortlist and then send a NEWS TICKER over the Home Page?

Thank God John McCain isn't on Senator Obama's shortlist...You'd have to send out 8 reporters to each one of his homes.

THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT; WHEN OBAMA MADE HIS "SHORT LIST OF POSSIBLE VP RUNNING MATE. HE SURELY
DID SO BECAUSE EACH NAME HE PUT ON THAT LIST , TO HIS KNOWLEDGE AND ESTIMATION IS ABLE TO STEP INTO THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN TO DISABLE HIM FROM PREFORMING HIS PRESIDENTIAL DUTIES. OTHER WISE WHY PUT THOSE NAMES ON HIS "SHORT LIST TO BEGIN WITH" NOW HE SAYS HE STRUGGLED IN HIS PICKING THE CANDIDATE WITH EXPERIENCE AND THE ABILITY TO STEP IN THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE WHEN AN EVENT REQUIRED IT..
DOES HE NOT KNOW THAT HE NEEDS TO BE ELECTED FIRST AND THAT HE NEEDS THE ONE CANDIDATE TO DELIVER THE MONEY AND THE HUGE NUMBER OF VOTERS HE NEEDS.
RALPH NADER AN OLD PRO IN POLITICS HAD IT RIGHT. OBAMA NEEDED CLINTON . UNFORTUNATELY OBAMA "THE ONE" DOES NOT THINK SO.

WEll Tim I can tell you why I am not supporting Obama its called EMPTY SUIT. The guy can't tie his own shoes if its not scripted in his speech's or stumps.

tim

I can answer...

Wright, Rezco, Farakkan, Ayers, Chicago political machine, no experience, redicuous answers off teleprompter, pandars to both sides, alcohol, weed and blow when you can afford it, arrogance, typical white gun loving religious people, above my pay grade, support for live birth abortions in Illinois, NAFTA, hypocracy of taking oil money, flip flops on Iraq, oil drilling, surge, 2 year senator who's spent one of them campaigning, negative attacks while claiming high road,... that's just off the top of my head...

Hope that's enough reasons for you... if not let me know

It's Hillary or McCain wins. Simple math.

But Obama supporters have made it clear that they would rather see McCain in the White House than Hillary Clinton and that is what they are going to get. So why complain when you get what you asked for?

IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF BAYH, YOU NEED TO STOP WATCHING SO MUCH SPONGBOB AND SOAP OPERA'S!!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!! "BEING FAT, DRUNK AND STUPID IS NO WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE" – Dean Wormer

Vote smart... not senile!!!!

Enough of hiring people from Texas! They're all nuts!
And Tim, it's not Hillary lovers hating Obama and his supporters; that's the pot calling the kettle black. Fact: Obama fanatics hate Clinton. HIs supports are mean and nasty and are blind to the truth, they're close minded and argue against anyone who disagrees with Obama. Yes, that's very democratic. Idiots.

Why is it that everytime I close a blog with "John McCain....25 years of BAD EXPERIENCE." CNN censors the coment?? What gives CNN?

To: Silence Dogood

Only an "elite celebrity"? That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard today. Obama? Elite Celebrity? You can't possibly believe that. John McCain, who has no idea how many homes he owns (up to 10), $500 shoes, personal jet, etc. I think you are mistaken...

Listen,

This is a race. The timing of announcing the VP is done with lots of calculations in mind to be one step ahead of John McCain. I trust the O Team knows what it is doing and I for one, can wait. Stop whining people–there's a reason for everything.

Also, the VP and his family have to be protected. Just hold on, you'll find out who it is soon enough.

@Down with the DNC.....i know what you mean, McCombover keeps me in stitches....he'll keep our kids in body bags with his draft, our jobs across seas and our homes in fourclosure....LOL...wait that's not funny, i need my job and my kids and my home. i guess John McCain is no laughing matter after all

vic nashville,Tn August 22nd, 2008 12:32 pm ET

We want Clintons back
1992 -2000 were golden years for us
Who care Obama’s VP
HILLARY 08 OR MC CAIN 08

If you vote for McPOW you and your children can go to Iraq, and fight the oil war! then cry when the depression hits and then say what happend to our great country. Its bad enough were the most hated country don't make it any worse for our kids sake!

BTW, to everyone surpise.. her should pick Hillary..even though it comes the Clinton baggage.. Just put her and bill in their place early on and they will know not to mess with you.. Besides.. you should know this.. already..

I can't friggin wait!

It can't be Hillary. Not if she plans to have her name put up at the Convention.

So there's one off the list of potentials.

Are there still Hillary supporters blogging regarding; Hillary this and Hillary that? Get of the blog and go donate to he debt morons.

without Hillary, obama will lose.....with her, he might have a chance.....

First Why is CNN not posting my comment about McCain?
Biased Maybe?

McCain's Networth : 36,431,099 as of 2006
Obama's Networth: 799,006 as of 2006
Accordign to John McCain Obama is not even considred rich since being rich is 5M and up.

Who is the elitist now!

TO-luis in Miami August 22nd, 2008 12:07 pm ET
and the question who's the weaker link?...YOU ARE!!!!

Are you and your family better off than you were 4 or 8 years ago?
Do you enjoy paying $4.00 for gas?
Do you really believe that the money we spent in Irag was worth it?
The lives lost was worth it?
Do you want the young men in your family drafted into the military?
Do you want to see a hotter version of the "cold war"?
Are you proud of the fact that your country has tortured dozens of terrorist SUSPECTS – some proven later to be innocent?
Do you agree that your government should spy on its citizens without warrant or probable cause?
Be honest with yourself. Think for yourself. If enough people are honest with themselves this VP choice does not matter.

I'm surprised by how tight-lipped all the potential candidates are. You'd think one of them would spill the beans about being NOT picked.
At least some of them have a sense of humor.

Well if it's on the internet it must be true, right? Get a life.

thanks to his own horrendous judgment and the racist, sexist, ignorant, arrogant and naive behavior of his lemmings, it is likely impossible for obama to win in November....

I'm not crazy about the set for the Democratic Convention. Why does our set have to look like Vegas? I hope they will surprise me and not use all those neon lights at one time. Remember what a mess the Dukakis set looked like–pastel colors.

Anyway, whatever happened to the traditional sets.

Anyway, Go Barack.

geez, Hillary lovers/Obama haters....

I love it that on Chris Matthews, he got some die-hard democrat blogger on and when he asked why she wasn't supporting Obama, she dodged the question. I think he asked 3-4 times why and she went into this mess about how she supported Gore, then Clark, then Kerry, then Clinton, but when Obama was mentioned, she went like this.... "(look around awkwardly), uh, uh, uh, he's inexperienced."

geez, Clinton supporters, you are the most hateful people ever created. Get a life!

I trust Baracks judgement he will pick wisely and well. The whole campaign has been run like a well oiled piece of machinery, efficient and smooth.
To checkthisout..his name is BARACK(BLESSED ONE) Hussein Obama..after his father..give up the hate stuff will you..my gosh
I like Biden, pray it is Powell and really do NOt want Hillary and slick willy back.. they did enough damage.

As I read some of the obviously McCain-supporter comments, I am struck by one thing: Like their condidate, McCainites are simply not in touch with the rest of us nor in touch with reality.

I hope he picks Chet Edwards. He is the best person for the job hands down.

We want Clintons back
1992 -2000 were golden years for us
Who care Obama’s VP
HILLARY 08 OR MC CAIN 08

COLIN POWELL FOR VP....THAT WOULD BE AWESOME...TWO BROTHERS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY....AND WILL PROBABLY BE THE BEST PRES & VP THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN....

STOP COUNTING OUT OBAMA JUST BECAUSE HE'S AFRICAN AMERICAN....WE MIGHT CAN SHOW THIS COUNTRY HOW IT SHOULD BE RUN!!!!

Ralph Wiggum for Obama's VP

Wait a minute....... those of you stating that McCain supports a draft. He said he would support it if WWIII started.

So when do you think he will start WWIII?

If a man's home is his castle, then John McCain's got the whole chess set!

Nice Biden reference James. I like Biden too, but think Powell creates a VERY interesting dynamic!

Obama '08
YES WE CAN

As long as it is not Hillary. I am from Indiana and do not feel Evan Bayh is the way to go for Barack Obama's VP choice because he was stumping hard for Hillary in the Indiana primaries. He introduced her several times during her speeches and put Obama down while doing so.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bayh, Biden are good possible picks...you have to think...if...Clinton was chosen it would turn the DNC on its ear...but...can "The Clinton's" play their day role...hard choice...well anywho...Obama 08

THIS MAN KNOWS THAT HILLARY HAS ALSO CHOSEN HER VP.

SHE WILL NAME HER VP AT THE CONVENTION.

HUSSEIN WILL NAME HIS TODAY.

Who should Obama pick? Let's list their qualifications.
Looks-Bayh 10 Points
Experience-Biden 10 points, Richardson 7 points, Bayh 6 points, Kaine 1 point
Charisma-Bayh 5 points,
loyality-Kaine 10 points
Straight talk-Biden 10 points
Totals:
Bayh-21 points
Biden-20 points
Kaine-10 points
Richardson-7 points

Forget Hillary and Sebelius; Obama needs a white male.

Stop McCain and you'll stop the draft. McCain is dangerous for the country just like his counterpart Karl Rove. McCain will say and do anything to prove war his war credentials, which he doesn't have. There are many POW's and pilots who fought in Vietnam and done courageous mission, McCain wasn't one of them. He's a fraud.

Mcwar continues to play the POW card!

This is no different than playing the race card!

Poor me I am Black, and because I am Black you can’t say certain things about me!

McWar: Poor me I was a POW and because I was a POW you can’t say certain things about me!

Yes and you might say McCain was tortured and beaten!

Ok then how many Black people were tortured and beaten, not only that how many were burned and hanged!

let's hope obama won't be running the business of the nation at the same pace as he is announcing the name of his running mate. he is dragging it to a point that i've lost interest all together.

Hey JOHNBOY...

Maybe when you become JOHNMAN you will read the facts and learn that only people like CINDY MCCAIN will be taxed higher under Obamas plan, not the average Johnboy like you.

________________________________________________________

I want Hillary but will settle for Biden. Anyone else and McCain gets my vote.

TheObamaKnight:

Here's a change I think many of us can believe in. Why don't you change your attitude? I personally would like to see that change NOW.

Bayh is a great choice, and should be the Presidential canidate

Oh, gee, the suspense is just killing me...

Obama needs to hurry and pick so the election process can go foward. This waiting and waiting is not good for his run to be elected.

and the question

who's the weaker link?
who's the weaker link?
who's the weaker link?
who's the weaker link?

OBAMMA MUST CHOSE HILLARY FOR VP!!! IF HE WANTS WIN!! THERE ARE MILLONS OF US THAT WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM IF HE DOES NOT CHOOSE HER!!!

The reporters are insane! Camping out all night in front of someone's house??? Gimme a break and do us all a favor......Leave these people alone. Once Obama announces it, the entire world will know. Just be patient!!!!!!!!!

I sincerely hope it isn't Hillary. Anybody who thinks it a good idea to go so far into debt as she did, doesn't have a clue about debt management or the real world we live in.

I hope Bayh is not the man because doesn't seem to be for Barack, but for Clinton.

I hope he picks Biden.

Obama 08

Because McCain's choice is under a Limbaugh blanket on abortion; that will be the first question considered, sort of like 'is it a girl or boy', there are only TWO strategies he could employ to counter that negative.
I hope so glad he won't think of the TWO things, but I will publish them on these BLOGS AFTER he chooses.
(My prediction is a pro life BTW, before Limbaugh called him out he would have followed his pandering spirit and chose a pro choicer to 'satisfy' both sides; but now he pretty much has to let RL run his campaign.)
His veep pick is stained already, unless he thinks of the strategies I will publish after. (If he does one, both of my ideas, I will be honest about it.)
STAYED TUNED

My guess is one thing more than the media.I also love how Obama has the media on the edge of their seats. Connie from Indiana

MCAIN SAYS "NOUN, VERB, POW"

McNopoly will bring back th DRAFT..

McNopoly will continue wars..

McBush is more of the same...

Protect you children and your rights..

Don't VOTE McCain..

Could CNN faun over Obama just a little bit more...

I'm having trouble differentiating between CNN's "news" and Obama's advertising campaign.

I don't care.

I need to clarify:

By the way, I watched a Youtube video on Superdelegates that each received up to 10K (from Pelosi). There were many of them and all of them voted for Obama even though Hillary won their state and district.

Only an elite celebrity Obama would play the media and tease everyone like he is on a television VP survivor show. Like all his other opinions, I just want to shout: "Tell us what you are thinking!".

Has anyone heard a straight simple one sentence statement from this campaign other than something about a mysterious Change?

His polls are bad because a lot of regular people are tired of the rich, slick, elite, condescending, preppy suit antics.

You news people are so entirely pathetic it makes me ill. Camped outside a guys house all night?? Give me a break. You are all like a bucket of pathetic leeches.

CNN continues to refuse to post McCains comments about the draft!

I wonder why is CNN trying to protect McCain from a game changing issue?

McCain- noun, verb, POW

I think it is the media that is making this story bigger than it needs too be. I think it is killing them that they don't know anything. I am so sick of all these pundits and opionions on the news. I wish they would go back to just reporting the news.

Spencer: Powell is dedicated to his party. Sorry it's not Powell. More likely Biden.

Wesley Clark will be the choice for VP

I hope not anything.Please No!

I hope it's Bayh!

Anyone but Hilary! To all the Hilary supporters/Obama haters if you guys were truly as commited as you CLAIM to be you would have retired her debt by now.

So much for "18 million voices"

LMAO! You guys are just plain pathetic.

The time for change is NOW.

Obama 08!

As long as it's NOT Hillary.

Wesley Clark will be the choice

Not real exicted over Bayh.

I'd like Kaine.

I think it will wind up being Hillary. Hope not, but hey, thems the breaks.

Apparently he knows he not going to be the VP!

Evan is a a closet Republican and my guess is that Obama is being blackmailed by the Hillary camp to pick him. He is wrong for Obama on so many levels.

wesley clark.russia will learn to 'cooperate' with this man backing obama up!

MORE TAXES, TAX, TAX, TAX.

WE HEAR YOU DEMOCRATS.

TAX THE RICH.

DEMOCRATS WILL MAKE EVERYONE POOR.

McCAIN 08

Wesley Clark will be the choice.

Thank God he's wearing a hat. His hair cut makes me laugh so hard it brings me to tears.

I read this on MSNBC: "One Democratic official with knowledge of the conversation said Obama told Pelosi recently that she would be pleased with the choice."

– that's the problem right there. Who is this woman and what gives her the right to influence the VP. She influenced Obama's nomination so I guess he feels he owes her something.

By the way, I watched a Youtube video on Superdelegates that each received up to 10K. There were many of them and all of them voted for Obama even though Hillary won their state and district.

Corruption at it's finest!

Blind leading the blind.

See the movie called, "Obsession" It will shed some light on Obama and who he really is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well put, abby

Anyone but hillary!

BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead !

I love blog entries, that basically tell you there is no news today, without actually TELLING you that...

Anyone except Hillary will be fine with me.

Gore may be a surprise pick, but I'd hate to see the issue of global warming become more political than it already is.

Obama's last 15 minutes of fame... he's really playing this one for all it's worth... to bad it's for nothing... he keeps calling people and they keep turning him down... nobody wants to be attached to this sinking ship.

Thanks DNC... once again you screw up a sure thing!

I hope not Billary she has to much baggage like 25millions worth .

He's not the VP choice, but he will have a spot on the cabinet.

Obama/Powell

Personally I hope it will be Biden. Biden will bring some energy to Obama's campaign while Bayh would not.

It could also be a dark horse canidate like Dick Gephart but I'm sticking to Biden. Biden has been too quiet as of late and it is very uncharacteristic. Obama and Biden fit very well with each other and would make a very good ticket.

His kids are going to camp, not to convention with dad, hes OUT!

OMG! This is basically a blog entry saying that there is no news. lol .

OBAMA 08!!!

who is this guy? Never heard of him!
