Of course the republicans are going to drag out that video of Biden criticizing Obama during the primaries. I would expect nothing less from them! He was right, at that point in time, to say what he said. But, now is now. Obama knows where his weaknesses lie and chose the absolutely best person to strengthen the ticket. Obama is not a fool. I'm very happy with Biden. If old McBush wants to get down and dirty and play the doesn"ts, he's picked the wrong guy to mess with. Biden wont back down from a fight, especially from McBush. I'm so looking forward to what's ahead now. We have a very balanced ticket now, so BRING IT ON JOHNNY!

Great Ad!!! It's why Obama will lose badly in Nov. He just doesnt have the experience to be President of the United....not even close. And nothing he can say or any v.p. he picks can change that. He was an incredibly poor candidate for the Dems to choose.

And yet it's only August, 2008. Senator McCain hasn't even had to endure the stresses the office yet — the mental and physical rigors that go along with being the nation's chief executive.

Hey Sen. Richie Rich, What Color Is Your Car, Ask
Joe Lieberman.

Im just pleased it's not Hillary. Had it been the more qualified candidate to either be the Presidential nominee or VP nominee then I think McCain would have lost.

Thank you Obama for losing on purpose in November.

I am a Republican and have been for 30 years, I almost would have voted Democrat had Clinton win because I feel like she is the RIGHT "CHANGE" we need. I would have voted for her over McCain; However, I will not vote for this celevbrity.

McCain
08

To Hillary supporters,

Please, tell my how Obama 'stole' her nomination?
WE the people voted for obama and are choosing him as the democratic nominee. Also, do any of you people who want to vote for Mccain just to vote for Hillary in '12 have a brain? Hillary is NOT gauranteed to even run in that year if Mccain wins. Also, look at the last election. American idiots voted for Bush AGAIN? So if you want to have this economy fixed, the mortgage crisis erased, and the issues with gas prices resolved. Please DO NOT vote for Mccain.

There is a reason his nickname is Mcsame/Mcbush

Biden is a bufoon... thank god O'bama has chosen this loser... GOP lock in Nov!

At 72 there is how much the mind and body can take after the horendous beating in vietnam.and only in america would people not think before taking very very important decision but follow negative information and dont check the facts.

A major sigh of relief from every decent American who isn't looking for free stuff off the backs of hard working Americans.

McCain wins, but most importaintly America wins.

Sorry Dems, maybe in 2012 you can run a person for president who does love this country, I don't like Hillary but there is no way to question her patriotism, good luck to her in 2012.

To : For Obama, please take just a second to read the posts on this page, are you sure it is only the Rupublicans who are mean spirited? Personally I like Obama but we are all better served by saying what he CAN do for the country instead of some of the name calling I saw on this page. This focus on the other guy is what kills Democrats every four years, we need to stay focused on the path Obama will take us on while at the same time being honest enough to say that dirty politics is not just a Republican tactic, did you see how fast the Obama camp put out an attack ad about the number of houses McCain owns?

Bidens comments on Duhbama is the only truthful thing I have heard from the left in over 50 years.

Well, there was a time when John McCain was honorable... but this isn't it.

So I guess you're outta luck Mitt Romney. If that's what McCain's camp feels what former same party opponents say during the fight to be the party's nominee.

BTW, there appears to be plenty of Republican's saying good things about Obama, too. And these are present tense comments, not stuff dug up from the past... when you used to be honorable.

Hey Auggie, I think the answer is number four. You can add whiny, immature, stupid, ignorant, psychotic and petty to the list also.

I think Biden is probably stand by his statement but he is just trying to help Obama. You know he is a democrat.

Obama is still not ready.

This is the dream ticket to take d white house. Obama/Biden08

I find it funny that the republicans are accused of unfairly negative adds. Obama has been running a negative campaign vs McCain since the get-go with his "McCain is just a 3rd Bush term". Obama's entire platform is negative.

The level of hypocrisy is mind-blowing.

Obama is an empty suit.

Can you say C O M P E T I T I O N? It's about winning....I think Obama is a better man for choosing someone who did make that comment during a competition for first place, rather than the standard attitude of "I don't care if he's the best one for the job, he said bad things about me".....shows great judgment IMHO

Obama/Biden '08

After Obama won his U.S. Senate seat he launched a presidential exploratory team 150 days later....thats power hungry.....if mccain wins it won't be because Obama is one of the most inexperienced and liberal senators ever....according to bloggers like you....it will be because voters of this country are racist....which some are but majority arn't

Wen you pick some one that says. you are not ready to lead and your opponent is . Is the beginning of bad choice and the lack of experience.

To those voting for McCain so Hillary can win in November.. you guys better pray Obama wins.. because if he doesn't.. there's no way Hillary will win when she runs.

Also, if Obama wins, there's a good chance that Hillary will get a cabinet position. If McCain wins, there's a good chance that Hillary's career will be stifled for 4 years... and probably much longer than that.

JUST WAIT UNTIL THEY RUN THE ADS OF BUSH AND ROMNEY ATTACKING MCCAIN. This will become moot. I personally think McWar did Obama a favor running this ad. Many will vote for Obama now knowing Biden will be there-not just as a VP but to speak his mind if he is against something Obama is doing it also shows Obama can take a punch and still do what's in the BEST interest of this country.

I am thrilled with the Biden choice! He is someone who has made a career saying what he thinks and fighting for what he thinks is right. Also, I think it IS really good that Obama chose a running mate who has the kind of experience Biden does. As much as I strongly, strongly support Obama, it does make me feel even better to know that he will have someone who has been around the block a number of times and who isn't a suck-up as his close advisor. I hope that McCain picks Romney. Those two absurd phoneys deserve each other.

Finally!!! There is finally a man on the Democratic ticket that is qualified to be President of the United States of America! My only hope is that he never gets the chance and that McCain kicks their butts.

APS in Hawaii...you my friend are ignorant!!!! Please do some beneficial reading or go to school and get an education.

Regarding experience, let's see, George Custer, Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon all had lots of experience. Sure helped. There was, however, a fellow from Illinois whose national experience was limited to one term in the House and that was ten years before he was elected president. His name was Lincoln and, if memory serves, he didn't do so badly. For those, such as Shannon, Southern State, and McCain '08, who will vote for McCain because Hillary lost the nomination, you'll get what you deserve–someone who favors the old boy systerm, opposes equal rights and the woman's right to choose and who honors women by dumping wife number 1 when she's injured and picking up a rich trophy blonde.

Biden is a great pick! I feel that they will compliment one another nicely.I also feel that Sen. Clinton will be named to a top cabinet post where she will be happy and will continue to serve our country. This way, everyone wins!

Again Mcsame you're misleading the American people. What happened to the "straight talk express"...

Thanks Obama..you just made it so much easier for McCain to win the White House!! Another Hillary supporter voting for McCain. There are millions of us..Stick a fork in Obama cause he is done! McCain 08!

Ha ha! Jenny above is a retard. Funny.

All this seems pretty interesting as fresh news, but what about running the tape where WcCain speaks about reinstating the draft??

Or does 'Viet-Nam' sound any bells?

Obama had me tricked for alittle while at least. He talks about new politics and then brings on one of the oldest attack dogs in Washington as his VP. Obama has lost all credibility and looks more and more like a use car saleman by the minute.

Obama will say and do anything to close the deal! Where is his new America? It's all hype. You can't believe it. Not anymore.

The fact that the McCain campaign was so quick to bring this ad out just shows what kind of propaganda the GOP is famously for fabricating. The GOP criticizes the Biden pick as Barack admitting that he has a weakness with foreign policy. I think the adverb changes to Barack had a weakness. Selecting Biden, the Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee shows that Obama is smart enough to try and shore up if weaknesses instead of trying to wing it. When McCain picks Romney, will the GOP also say that McCain is trying to shore up his weakness on the economy. If this strategy continues we need to check and see if the GOP has a fork in their tongue.

And to you Hillary Clinton detractors and GOP trolls, Biden was the best pick for Hillary to continue her ambition to be president one day. I think the sentiment is that Obama will win and after 8 years Biden would not be interested in running because of his age. Picking the younger guys such as Warner, Bayh, Kaine, Chet Edwards would have helped their efforts to become president after Obama's time in the office.

This was Obama's decision to make and he made a good choice. And stop with the elitist crap already, McCain over 8 houses compared to Obama's 1 and McCain thinks that rich is having over $5 million dollars. If Obama is an elitist, McCain is a super-elitist!

McCain just shows his pure desperation putting an negative message out before Obama and his Vp pick even get together for the first time
With Baracks good judgement and Bidens foreign experience you cant go wrong with this team
better than McCains WAR theme and danger of bringing back the draft.How many americans have to be killed and maimed in the name of McCains so called *Victory* for an illegal war to begin with!!!!
its war that got the country into an economic mess with trillions being spent on war
Think long and hard before you vote for MCCain

IN THE END ......HILLARY WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH........OBAMAS EGO JUST COST HIM THIS ELECTION........TALK ABOUT JUDGEMENT........I FEEL SORRY FOR ALL THE DEMS WHO LISTENED TO OPRAH AND DID NOT LISTEN TO THE DEBATES AND MAKE UP THERE OWN MINDS.......THE WILL LEARN A SERIOUS NOVEMBER LESSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats all .......(devil wears prada)

Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden have obviously patched up their differences and are ready to work together for the benefit of our country and its citizens. These quips from the past primary when they were rivals are not important to anyone with a modicum of sense.

This Vet will vote for Obama, because I see no difference between McCain and Bush. He's even running his campaign like Bush, and that's his biggest "flip-flop" of all. He is no maverick he is just another George Bush clone trying to run on the sympathy of his POW experience. Enough already.

How many votes did Biden get in the primary...oh that's right he had to drop out becuase HE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH SUPPORT!

Rule number one do not pick a VP who dropped out early due to lack of support over a person who had more popular votes than you in the primary. This is how you split a party in two. Now those of us who supported Hillary feel we don't matter to Mr. Obama. So I guess it makes sense to either stay home in November, or vote for McCain, who by the way will pick a woman as his VP, or write in Hillary. HMMM...choices....choices.

let's not kid ourselves, the obama team has their clips in the ready once mccain announces his choice. as some here have noted, if romney is the mccain pick, the dems will run similar clips. and while politicians do make statements about their primary opponents, biden's comments centered around obama's inexperience and not being ready, which is far different from a comment like "voodoo economics".

Yeah and many times McCain spoke out publicly against Bush but we all know that was just politics and the two were and are still busom pals cut from the same cloth. And we also know that if John could have got Biden for his VP he would have taken him into the fold in a nanosecond! Dems win, Republican loss! Guess it's the luck of the draw!

Obama did not diss Hillary. She can't be standing VP and run against the standing president in 2012. Duh, wake up. Just because you type these nonsense posts a million times doesn't make them true.

OMFG the Hillary Supportes need to shut up. Obama helped donate to her campgian, he placed her name in the nomnation. WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE?

I supported Hillary from the begin to the end and made 1,000 phone calls and you know what I had Hillary Supporters saying they didn't like this Hillary anymore. She wanted it so bad she was so rude and mean and didn't give a crap.

I still have respect for what she has done but, no McCain is using everything she did. And trust me in '12 McCain will not be done with his first term because, he will not win.

I notice what was conveniently missing from that ad is that Presidents often don't get along with their VP's. Remember when George HW Bush picked Reagan to be his VP, even after referring to Reaganomics as "voodoo economics"
It happens all the time, candidates pick people who may not agree with them. Don't believe the Rethug hype – they are just shaking in their boots because they realise that Obama/Biden will flatten McElitist/whoever.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008/2012!!!!!!!!!

APS in Hawaii: DEMOCRATIC ELITISTS ? It's NOT Obama that owns TEN houses !

Unbelievable how stupid politicians are. Obama lost the election by dissing Hillary and now before the convention, we get Biden saying how unqualified Obama is to be President. This is why the Democrat elitists this year have lost the election, they are forcing their will on the voters. As a REAL Democrat, I cannot wait until the people finally get some REAL leadership in the DNC and every vote counts is a reality.

Anyone who votes for McCain solely because Hillary isn't the Democratic nominee is either (1) a racist, (2) a hpocrite, (3) a Republican or (4) all of the above.

Or named Auggie

We just lost the election because of Obama's poor judgement. That means another 4 years of republican hell and than hopefully Hillary if she still wants to run.

Look – everyone knows that during the primaries contenders will say whatever they need to in order to knock the perceived front-runner out of the race. Nobody cares what anyone says about McCain, Obama or anyone else during the campaign. Bush had a lot to say about McCain...and look at how tTHEY ended up...now McCain is running for a 3rd Bush term!

Oh, come on people. Both Republicans and Democrats run negative ads but do not just blame it on one party. Give me a break. Both parties play the same game and everyone is dirty in the field.

What's the fuss? Everyone knows everyone lies during a campaign, saying what's advantageous in the moment... in which case what's the point of dredging up old news clips?

Oh ... and I guess the Republicans will be after Obama for choosing a VP that balances his lack of experience in Foreign Affairs ...

Balancing the ticket ,,, ah, yes ... so obviously McCain will want to get his ticket balance right by choosing a VP who is very intelligent ...

T H A T-–I S--P L A G A R I S M ! ! ! !

Obama chose Biden to try and match mccain on his experience. I think he is looking at the gerneral election and where the reps can attack him. Obama has little foreign relations experience as well as little time in DC. Biden on the other hand has more experience than any other senator and balances the card. It is a very wise move that hopefully wont alienate too many hillary fans. Lets face it though.....do you really want another republican in office. I couldnt take another 4 years of facism!

McCain has to be thrilled that Obama picked Biden, like a dream come true.

Obama is so scared that McCain is ahead 274 to 264 in the electorial polls, that he picked an attack dog who will in fact do not better than sink his own ship.

So this is how Obama performs under pressure. Just proves what Biden said. He is not ready.

Isn't this the same Biden who two days ago made a point of telling the press that he was not the man, he knew nothing, had spoken to no one. In fact, HE LIED, bold faced to the press. He not only did it once, her did it twice. What a man!!!

All the other potential VP choices made a point of saying nothing when asked, but Biden just couldn't help himself. So now we have a liar (Biden) and inexperience ( Obama) running together.
Good choice Obama!!!!

Of course McCain is going to use this type of information. PLEASE! Obama leading our country is like putting a primary student in charge of a school district. Obama is still on training wheels as Biden can atleast drive a bike: Fear the day we elect a street activist, anti american, USA hater in Obama.

Isn't it funny how John McCan reacts to everything Obama does? I mean do we want a leader or a follower 894 of 899? If George set us back than McCain is looking to start piling on the dirt. I can see it now Russia, Iran, China, and every other country in the world starts to build its diplomacy around the world and look who would follow...McSame. Russia, China, Iran start to build energy efficient cars and who would follow McCrypt keeper. He seems to be so far behind everyone else. Wasn't he the nominee in March? And he hasn't picked a VP yet? The Republican Party is the FTL party (Follow The Leader).

Hillary has zero experience, time for you all to let it go.. I can be married to an accoutant, that doesn't make me a CPA

The reason the world hates her is her sense of entitlement, like she just should have been handed the nomination

McCain in '08... Hillary in '12. Come on Hillary supporters, LETS DO IT

Lots of things get said when running against someone for the nomination for the presidency. DUH???????
They can forgive and forget when all is said and done. It is called maturity, which is somewhat lacking in the opposition. MATURITY IN THINKING AND RHETORIC, I MEAN.
I personally would prefer a Clinton/Biden ticket, and maybe the convention can make that happen.

What I want most is for Hillary Clinton to be able to make the changes she knows this country needs. I wish she could do it as President but she can't. But she certainly CAN'T make any changes with a McCain Presidency.

If you really care about Clinton and her ability to implement policy in the senate, you won't get it if McCain is President, but you CAN get it with an Obama/Biden administration.

Auggie: YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD BABY!!!

Conservatives condemn (yet they are the biggest hypocrites on the planet). They love to hate people, yet some of them fix their mouths to say they are Christian. NO WAY!! Rick Warren and folks of his ilk (the Evangelicals) are a disgrace and an affront to true Christianity.

I AM PROUDLY CHRISTIAN, AND PROUDLY INDEPENDENT!! There is no way I could ever support the Lying, Hypocritical, Judgemental, Hate-filled, Mammon-chasing Republican platform.

We need people who can think things through, and people with integrity, and sound judgement. McCain has none of those qualities. I'm a 24 year Air Force veteran who is proudly voting for Obama.

WE NEED RADICAL CHANGE!!!

IF WE DON'T CHANGE COURSE WE'RE GOING TO WIND UP SELLING APPLES JUST TO GET BY.

Who cares????

Romney lit McCain up in the primaries. The old man was quivering like a stroke victim.

How are you going to call someone and congratulate them, then run a negative campaign ad behind it. Where was the secret service when John Mccain stabbed Biden in the back.

Can't wait to see Joltin' Joe go for McCain's jugular!

So glad it wasn't Hillary! BTW mccain had better not pick any of his former opponents cause they were vicious towards him. And mccain you truly are a desperate man!

Typical.......obama is so afraid he had to get himself a pitbull. Biden and bam-bam.......mr.mouth and mr. know-nothing. What a joke.

894 out of 899, adulterer, Temper problem, old, warmonger.... nice. All those saying they will vote for him... think again.

Now that Biden has been picked, NO MORE OBAMA FOR US.

What a terrible pick for Obama! His campaign was already falling apart over the past two months and now he picks the man who wouldn't even vote for him as a running mate.

As far as McCain and the number of houses his wife owns (remember some of them are investment property). We have to stop talking about it, it makes democrats look stupid. We defended Kerry and his 6 homes. When we talk about McCain and his 5 + 2 investment homes, we look like 4 years olds. We have to unite and mature as voters for this party, Obama needs all the help he can get.

There is plenty to go after McCain about that's worthy, the house thing is not worthy.

Hillary '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She needs to argue her case NOW because Obama has lost already!

This is boilerplate. Insert any primary contender, EXPECIALLY HRC and it would've beent the same ad. SO WHAT?

OBAMA BIDEN – ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!! I am tickled pink!!!

He was running for President. He said this on his last 'Meet the Press' appearance with Sen. Lindsay Graham. That is why he and politicians say anything during presidential debates that seem contradictory in the future.

I'd like to know when and in what context Biden's comments on John McCain were.

I posted my comment at 9:58 am ETD, and it is still in moderation? Or you people sure this is the land of FREEDOM OF SPEECH? I'm beginning to wonder. It is very fraustrating..

Shannon, the FISA vote was a "republican trap" Barack was too smart to fall for it. He'd rather see the country safe than worry about "low info" americans hanging on Rethuglican talking points.

Biden was chosen to improve on Obamas few weak spots. McCain obviously needs a younger, down to earth, and in touch VP to make up for all that he is lacking.

now what Hilly billy supporters, go , get lost.

His words were his own. It's on tape! Why do people label Obama's supporters as mindless? It would be obvious if you weren't (mindless...thought I better clarify for the lesser intellects).

Joe Biden is a great man. It's a shame he's accepted this role...Obama's supporters were NASTY to his neice at the Iowa Caucus.

Shannon, do your research. Biden voted for banning partial birth abortion. Obama is not an arrogant prick, he is confident, but NOT arrogant.
Read the Pro-Clinton comments and Pro-Obama comments, it is both sides that have whiny, snively, children.

So women can attack men, but men can't attack back? Because the way I see it, THAT's sexism. Maybe you should look at the other side, because you will find you will fit right in. A whiny little baby.

Joe Biden criticizing an under-examined, under-experienced celebrity, who really only got anywhere because of Oprah's racism. I guess that's the one smart thing Biden did in his career

Shannon...I trust you're not of voting age because its scary to believe you can't understand the FISA vote. Think about this....Charlie Black says the McCain campaign would benefit from a terrorist attack. Next comes the FISA vote. If Barack had said "no"...then a terrorist attack that just slips through (i.e. 911) ...republicans would have said "see....he's totally a failure on national security. Think for once...its not illegal yet

Jenny, McCain fake name,

you would elect a inferior president in '08 and continue the poor policies and decision making of the past 8 years that have left us in an economic crisis and a misguided war in the middle east so Hillary can be elected in 2012; I would only ask you think about your logic here

Will Joe Biden be stealing his speeches from Neil Kinnock again?

Obama supporters are pathetic. If you are not for Obama, they play the race card and call people racist-pathetic race baiting. Elect McCain.

McCain 2008, Hillary 2012? You know you can only shoot yourself in the foot until you bleed to death.

Im sorry to say, but have the Hillary supports ever thought that if Obama looses, there is a possiblity that people would blame HIllary supporters and not vote for Hillary in 2012.

You have to think about the damage that Hillary's supporters can cause for our future. Your anger towards Obama and the decision to support McCain is an example of judgment. Making decisions based on emotions is not a wise choice in judgment. Your anger could possibly harm Hillary's chances in the future.

How would Hillary feel about all of your support then?

Lets see, Obama is the living embodiment of the American dream. A person who rises to the top regardless of race or economic disadvantages. Biden has experience that makes McCain look lie a rookie. He is tough, and in my opinion is a real maverick, unlike a wanna be sell out like McCain. Now lets look at McCain. While I applaud his millitary history, I cant forget the way he treated his former wife, nor his comments on women. Anybody remeber the gorilla joke? When you look at it that way, guess who comes out lacking?

Obama / Biden 2008

RSB August 23rd, 2008 11:05 am ET......Thank you, you are so RIGHT!. I will be voting for Obama.

When I found out who Obama choose as his VP running mate, I was like......... WHAT? He has talked about Obama with his big mouth, but once I thought about it, he’s wasn’t the only one who talked about Obama with their big mouth. His pickings were very limited, but Biden does have the experience to lead if he has to be President. McBush can no longer brag about he is the one with the experience, if he does, that’s like saying “I don’t know how many houes I owe and The war in Iraq, another 100 years. So those who lame excuse of Obama’s lack of experience to vote for McCain, we can’t wait to see what excuse you will use next.

No one and I mean no one talked and belittled Obama bad as Clinton did, and to think she should have been the one he choose is insane. How many of you would have selected someone for a position if you would have had someone to treat you in this manner? It was his CHORCE to make!…………Bill Clinton MADE his.

She really damaged her chances when she stoop to an all level of negative lowness, with the attitude and ego of thinking I am entitled to be the President.

McBush…….“100 years in Iraq“…….. “don’t know how many homes I own and then staff lies and say 4, when it really is 7 or 8“. Those fools will believe anything and vote for me.

Obama/Biden

ONCE AGAIN THE DEMOCRATS (BIDEN IN THIS CASE) JUST SAY WHAT THEY THINK WILL GET THEM AHEAD. SUCH DISHONESTY? WAS HE LYING THEN OR NOW. WHAT DIFFERENCE, HE'S A LIAR.

I'm thrilled about BHO's pick. And, McCain's ads are pretty darn pitiful to say the least.

And, here is a newsflash for the individual who claims that Hillary was robbed: She LOST. (I thought this foolishness had ended.)

*YAWN* Of course he said negative things – he was running for President himself! McBush is going down – no more theocracy in the White House and no more warmongering!

Go Obama/Biden and Go Dems!

Joe Biden, Hillary CLinton and I all felt the same way back then and I still feel he is not ready to run this country with his response to Georgia and Russia and on just rehashing the old liberal agenda of economics and energy policy.

@ Jenny-Please believe that if you PUMAs cost Barack Obama this election, it will not be forgiven in 2012. Barack had over 18 million REAL votes (not Republicans trying to create chaos). And we will return the favor the next time HRC tries to run for President.

Obama has proved that he is a poltician like all of them...
With Biden he will fight as outsider?
With Biden will promote CHANGE?

Noiw we should check where they get their speeches, when you stole someone ideas once you will do it again

McCain 08

Hillary will NEVER get another chance. If Obama loses, everyone will blame those idiots that supported her who were too stupid to support him. We would make sure she NEVER has her day.

THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW. THAT'S ONE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS OF MCCAIN, HE HAS NO VISION AND HE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE OF VALUE OF AMERICANS. BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A MORON.

The 'old cargo' has nothing new to say; he plays politics of division, where will that lead him to? Anyway when one is too old to reason well, he start to behave like a teenager again.
Let McCain tell Americans what he has to offer them by continuing Bush's third term in office. I think Americans are too intelligent to fall for someone like John McCain.
Obama was once presented with a cain during the primary, he should start to use that cain to cain McCain.

Response to Jenny above "I will vote for McCain so that I can vote for Hillary in 2012!"

A little word of advice. Even if MCCain wins in the fall, what makes you so sure that Hillary will win the Democratic primary in 2012 when she could not even win it this year. Good luck with your very "logical" thinking.

Ahh–the Hillary-haters are at it again.

I thought McCain wants the evangelicals to vote for him....Does this mean this group finds McCain's behavior and his lies acceptable in the eyes of God? And what about McCain's early signs of dementia? How scary is that! So God please be with Obama and Biden and spare us of the sins of believing lies,I pray

P O O P I E-–B I D E N

I N --H I S--O W N-–W O R D S

C A N' T--W A I T --H O W --M U C H-–M O R E-–H E --H A S---

P L A G A R I Z E D

Sherry, I agree.

What was Biden suppose to say, "I think Obama would be a great leader. Oh, I think he would be better than me." What? Does that make sense. Obama was Biden's opponent. Come on. Hillary said some things about Obama's inexperience too.

Think of something else please.

I can't wait to cast my vote!!!!!

Southern State August 23rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Hillary should have been the presidential nominee
Hillary should have been the vp nomninee.

Obama, you have robbed HIllary Clinton and us voters for the last time.
____________________________________________________

Get over it. Vote McCain all you want but it's not going to stop Obama, and if it does do you really think Obama backers are going to forgive HRC? HRC is done. She will NEVER be the Democratic nominee. good luck holding your breath until 2012 though...

101 st desert shield August 23rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

"Obama has my vote,

Great pick representing the average americans, not the elite like McCain and surrogates."

Well, I just saw Biden's house while they were waiting for him to leave. If his house represents the average American and not the elite, then I'm a lot poorer than I thought.

As much as I want a democrat in the white house I cannot vote for Obama.Hillary should have been the nominee.Anyone would have been more qualified than Obama.Biden is a good guy but it is ridiculous that he is 2nd to a do nothing like Obama.We just had 8 years of a president who wasn't qualified....here we go again....

McCain must be shaking in his $500.00 shoes right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden 08

Yeah, so, when Romney is named, I'm sure the Dems can come up with some choice things he said about McCain, too.

If it's Romney....

By the way, I was a Clinton supporter before I went for Obama. I agree with Auggie above.

Wait until you see the ads of Romney criticizing McCain. They'll turn old McSame's hair white.

Oops, been there already.

Could it be that after being around Obama for the past year, he finally saw the light? He began to see that Obama is ready and capable to be the next President of the United States. The Obama campaign needs to run an ad acknowledging those old statements and then have Biden say, he is now convinced otherwise.

Keep on bickering America and when continue to lose that we have or maybe in are in the top 5% and don't have to worry about high gas, utility bills, milk, housing, etc. I know my family does and this means no republicans in office. Suck it up and think more about us ands not me.

The Obama camp should go through the tapes and locate the time when McCain stated about foreclosure, "people should not take their vacation and get a second job to pay for their homes".

Or better yet play the tape about Americans are a bunch of whinners.

To put it frankly, Senator McCain is showing the signs of being too old for the gig, and his recent history of forgetting things (whether simple details like the number of houses he owns, or more complicated facts like Sunni vs. Shia) ought to be the source of some serious panic inside the Republican loop - far more panic, by the way, than is being generated by the prospect of a pro-choice running mate.

Obama/Biden

Mccain is nervous, Biden more than 30 years of exp.....Obama is really a smart guy,..

Well, so much for the message of change and the status quo has got to go. A 35 year Senate member. Longer than McCain, longer than 95+ percent of the remaining Senators. Elected officials of his length and tenure are one of the reasons we have the current problems and issue we currently have. Like he has any clue what we regular Americans go through.

People may have issue with McCain's age. Biden is 65.
If something happens to Obama and we still have an elderly President who has had TWO BRAIN ANEURYSMS.

Due to being insulated in the Senate for 35 years, we have someone who has not been confronted with issues of the regular everyday American. What does Joe know about investments and economics (mapel syrup?). The biggest long term issue facing the U.S. is affordable, reliable energy and American's ability to retain their economic status (investments and wealth) for their retirement years. Making $10 an hour at Walmart selling Chinese manufactured products is not going to cut it.

With Russia making noise, the Middle East being a thorn in our side since... the Arab Oil Embargo back in '73 (note Biden went to the Senate in the early-mid 70's), the price of food, utilities, political-economic pressures on multi-national american corporations (investments in stock market affecting most Americans retirement plans). The U.S is poised for problems like its never experienced.

An Obama/Biden ticket of compromise, please don't do that and wag their index finger at our adversaries diplomacy, negotiate away American stature and raise taxes on anybody who wants to work harder and grow economically, and provide give-aways to the slackers who sit and watch Jerry Springer all day is not the answer.

So this is the change that Obama wants. An old guy that has been an Washington insider for a billion years?

Hillary voters who now support McCain need to understand that they are letting their personal emotions cloud their judgment This very same thing happened within her campaign and let to its implosion! We all want to feel like winners, but by voting McCain, Hillary supporters are betraying their own party and their values as Dems.

Great pick, Obama/Biden
A Jab To The Face, and A Hook To The Body!
Perfect!

Since when was beating a presidential candidate fair in square robbing her of her presidential bid?

Great pick, Obama/Biden
A Jab To The Face, and And Hook To The Body!
Perfect!

who care
now obama got my vote

Time to push that ejection seat button again John "SONGBIRD" McCain.

Go away Mcwar!

Go away Hillibots!

You guys are jealous.

One problem with this ticket is that it should be the other way around. Oh well maybe Biden will pull an LBJ and get rid of Obama?

Obama/Biden is going to be great!

McCain camp has been desperately attacking for more than a month now. It is getting old and turning people off.

One House, One Spouse
Obama/Biden 2008

McCain is a cantankerous,grumpy,miserable old man. Instead of congradulating the man, why is he still going negative?

They should run an ad of every single person that has said Obama is not ready to lead. Actually, that would be an infomerical. Could be a documentary. Probably a mini-series. Oh well. McCain/Romney 08

Go McCain!

Obama the hypcrite of change has disrespected us Hillary supporters for the last time. Biden is the ultimate Washington insider. Cult Obama deserves to lose.

Go McCain!

Oh, heavens! I'm sure the Obama campaign didn't see this one coming. Oh, what WILL they do?? (teeth gnashing and wringing of hands)

You "Hillary in 2012" people - if that's what you really believe - grew tiresome a long time ago.I just skip over your comments now. The pathetic souls who hate Obama more than they love their country need to get over themselves. Save it for 2012, unless you are even more irrelevant then than you are now.

Obama camp should retaliate by broadcasting all the criticism Dubya, Romney, and other neo-con pubs has to say about him.

The Biden comment was from last year, not 3 years ago. The comment about McCain was 3 years ago.

As for pointing out that Biden didn't think Obama was ready to run and you can't learn on the job he was right and McCain should point this out. What experience has Obama gotten since then? Campaigning is not experience. I would run that ad all over the country for the next 2 months to show what Biden really thinks of his running mate.

The unfortunate truth is Biden was correct, which mainstream American is figuring out – Obama isn't ready to be President. It is unfortunate because a Biden-Obama (as opposed to an Obama-Biden) ticket is one I would vote for.

McCain '08 for Hillary '12

You're obviously a troll, and a pathetic one at that. How about contributing something substantial once in while instead of parroting Republican talking points? You were never really a Democrat, so don't go on with that nonsense, either. Anyone with any inkling of decency and progressive values would go for Obama over McCain any day.

It's sad that there are so many hateful and bitter Americans out there who are doing their part to keep this country on it's path to ruin.

Hillary whiners all over the place. Good thing Hillary does not act like you. She is a true and loyal democrat, something a lot of her supporters don't know a thing about. They think they are on the play ground where if you don't like the game you can take your ball and go home. So go over to McFool's side, just don't start whining again if he wins and takes the country down a few more notches.

Alexander Haig (a mover and shaker in the Reagan white-house) was in Buffalo, NY this week (campainging for McCain) and let slip that "Ronald Reagan probably was not fit to serve his second term as president." He was referring to Reagan's mental state – John McCain, who turns 72 next week, is already 2 1/2 years older than Reagan at this same point in time, in the months before Reagan was elected in 1980. People should be thinking very carefully about the idea of electing a man who would be past 80 should he win two terms. Do we want or need this for our country? I think not. Haig, I'm sure, said more than he ever wanted, but it's all on record.

Great choice-anyone voting for McCain and who-ever he picks as his running mate, get what they deserve and have no right to complain when they get the same of what we've had for the last 8 years…
This Obama/Biden ticket is a great balance no matter what the pundits and Republicans will be saying. Team work is what is needed to make what was once a great country, before Bush, great again

"Southern State" wwhy because hillary liked to play nasty with him, bacause she is entitled to it? because she is a uniting figure or is it a disuniting figure.. look at the problems she has caused!

Guess Obama listened when Biden spoke... the freshman picked the senior to be his babysitter... LOL!

If only Obama camp can fall so low, it would be broadcasting George Bush camp's propoganda that his adopted daughter is actually his illegimate child.

Alas Obama camp can not fall as low as the pubs can.

Go ahead and vote McPancakes Hillary supporters...but do you honestly think people wouldn't do the same to Hillary?

WHY ARE ALL MY COMMENTS STILL AWAITING MODERATION?!

Wolf Blitzer must be a happy commentator this morning. He has shown his bias during the Primary by replaying endlesly the negative comment of Mrs Obama. Now this morning he repeats over and over again the Mc Cain ad. on a comment made by Biden in which he suggests that Obama was not ready. Comments made during a debate serve a different purpose than one during a Presidential campaign. How much more free advertising do you wish to give the Republicans Wolf.

Why do republicans jump on this? - common, remember Bush Sr's
'voodoo economics' quote on Reagan– and was later picked as his veep? primary seasons are full of infighting, but parties always come together, and running mates are chosen out of former opponents.

so– mccain can do this whole dance for a week, but he'll be eating his words when he picks romney– and there will be tons of footage of the two of them badmouthing each other.

I THINK BUSH,MCCAIN,CHENY THEY OR SCARE OF OSAMA BIN LADIN IT HAS BEEN 7YRS AND BUSH,MCCAIN,CHENY DIDNT GO AFTER BIN LADIN FOR THE CRIME HE COMMITED ON 9/11 INSTEAD THEY WAS CONCERN ABOUT THEIR OWN INTREAST OIL. OUR 4000 PLUS LIVES WE LOST FOR NOTHING IN IRAQ TRUE PATRIOTISM YA RIGHT COWARDS.// OUR 4000 PLUS TROOP LOST THEIR LIVES OVER OIL AN I THINK THATS SAD IF THEIR LIVES WAS GONNA BE LOST IT SHOULD OF BEEN LOST ON A MISSION THEY THOUGHT THEY WAS LOSING LIVES FOR OSAMA BIN LADIN. WE NEED SOME ONE LIKE OBAMA/BIDEN WHO HAVE THE BALLS AN JUDGMENT TO GO AFTER THIS CRIMENAL (BIN LADIN )FOR THE DEATHS OF OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE ON 9/11.OBAMA/BIDEN IS THE TRUE PATRIOTS HERE. OBAMA/BIDEN 08

What kind of commercial can be made if Romney is McCain's pick. Be Careful what you wish for, John.

Ohhh yeah, right!!! LOL!!!! I have to admit, I didn't watch the primaries at that time. Why?? Well, like I said, I know how my country is but wanna know something?? GOP......is like you're predicting the future...

I gotta say, when Sen. Biden said that, that was a while ago, huh? Well.....who's got the last laugh now! LOL!!!! I'm gonna be perfetcly honest with you. Do you know how I got involve in this election??? Sit back and let me tell you a quick tale...

One day, some of the boys were looking at some "numbers." Every day, every week, the boys look through important numbers in anything. It could be sports, businesses, etc. This could be anything, I mean, anything. And then one day some of the boys were looking over the numbers in the primaries and I swear guys, this is what they told me...

They told me that I should look at the primaries and this election. Trust me, I didn't even wanna bother with it. But this is where it gets interesting. The main reason why they told me is because I probably could find something in there that pepople haven't found. So, I said O.K then and I was off.

Do you know how long it took me to understand the primaries, candidates, positions, etc?? It took me over a month and a half. It's work, I don't care what anybody says. And from there, the rest is history...

By the way, since the GOP are doing me a favor, tell Senator Biden that I crossed his name off the list that owes my boy. Well, since he's the V.P...BUT I haven't crossed off the other Dems...

Edwards is still there, Dean is still in there, Hillary's name is still in there(by the way, is written in blood), etc.

Ohh yeah, I got my list from the people who are gonna owe us...,,mainly all Dems!! LOL!!!

Hillarists, if Obama loses, Clinton is toast, her name mud. Surely, you get that.... Hillary for Secretary of State! would be an awesome choice, and, let's face it, SoS is a much more important position than VP. Don't be fooled by the media theatrics around this, ok?

I was rooted for McCain, now, I am going to vote for Obama. "Change + experience", you can't get better than this !

OF COURSE HE WAS CRITICAL, HE WAS RUNNING AGAINST HIM. . .COMMON SENSE AMERICA!

Trannon, you are everything that Obama represents, your hate filled post, your name calling, your arrogance, all show just what the Obama campaign is about, and it's not hope and change. What a hypocrite, I'm so sad that a great man like Joe Biden has hooked up with this campaign. True Democrats don't support FISA, they don't vote for the Cheney Energy bill, they don't want to limit a woman's right to choose, they don't praise the over turning of gun control laws, they don't want to drill off our coasts, they don't play the race card, they don't demean women, these are all things Obama has done, Joe Biden doesn't fit with this man!

Anyone who votes for McCain solely because Hillary isn't the Democratic nominee is either (1) a racist, (2) a hpocrite, (3) a Republican or (4) all of the above.

Yes! No thank goodness Hillary is not on this path!

What kind of agent of change is this guy suppose to be?
Obama Supporters, you have been baracked! This guy is a total loser.

He is such a jerk (Obama), admit it fans of the cult, he could have picked a woman, so many were supporting him even unleashing their fangs on Hillary.

Wow. Very sad.

Those Hillary supporters who say their voting for Mcain had better watch out. I'm a white union Man, and a very HUGE supporter and volunteer for the Democratics but if I feel Hillary dosen't do much. I won't help or vote for her. This is going to be a huge test in Ohio and if Hillary, Ted Strickland, Sharrod Brown, Zack Space and everyone else dosen't get out and do what has to be done to win I'll just give up and never vote again. If the democratics cant get past Obama race then their not the party I thought they were.

Teamsters for Obama

McCain... hate to break it to you, BUT if this is all youve got YOU ARE DOOMED TO FAILURE!!!

Come on Obama... bring up some DIRT/ TRUTH on this guy... Keating???

Picking Biden with a text message at 3 AM just sunk the arrogant fool. Nice way to unite the party. Just proves that this goofball, done nothing, knows nothing empty suit is all about show and no substance. I am a Hillary supporter and this puts it in the bag for me. I'm voting for McCain.

GO OBAMA!

Depsite the negative ad peddlers say – America can't afford an old corrupt man like McWoldWar3 to be in charge of this great nation!

TO SOUTHERN STATE..

WE ALL KNOW WHY YOU'RE VOTING FOR MCCAIN SINCE YOUR GIRL HILLARY DIDN'T MAKE IT...SHE WAS THE ONE WHO PLAYED THE RACE CARD AND DIRTY POLICITICS...

AND GUESS WHAT, HRC NEEDS OUR VOTE IN 2012 AND SHE WON'T GET IT BECAUSE OF YOU & YOUR PUMA IGNORANCE..
I GUESS YOU PEOPLE WANT TO REMAIN WITH THE SAME OLD FAILED POLITICS OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION..MAY GOD GIVE YOU INTELLIGENCE TO CHANGE YOUR NEGATIVE OPINIONS!!!

Of course, he is not fit for the presidency. The man makes millions and hasn't even helped his half-brother in Kenya over all these years... so, why would anyone expect him to help ordinary americans out or in need. He's a fake.

McCain or Hillary are the only viable candidates.

Were is the "CHANGE" Bam Bam spoke of for months? Not here with a man who has been in Washington for 40 years. And Biden did say Bam Bam isn't ready to be president! Now with Biden he is? I don't think so. And his wife is no FIRST LADY! She's racist. I'm with McCain 08, Hillary 12. McCain gets my vote over these 2. Looks like Bam Bam isn't about change after all. can we say Liar liar pants onfire? Either way it's the same 4 years of the last 8. GO MCCAIN. You Bam Bam nuts are in for a surprise in NOVEMBER get ready. Oh and I don't care how many houses anyone has whats that got to do with being PRESIDENT?

"McCain '08 for Hillary '12"

you so screwed up that you guys should maybe call for a revolution and maybe even split the country so you can elect Hillary as your leader.. what is wrong with you twisted people.. Hillary did not lose to Obama because he played rought with her, he did not smear her image, he did not attach her all the time.. the simple fact is that Hillary's team screwed it up themselves by going so negative and constantly attacking Obama.. People voted and she lost.. she accepts it and so shoud you!

Obama is not to blame for old dodgy politics.. that can be credited to many a republican candidates and also some democrats who feel they can only compete if they play nasty too!!

Clean up politics, well as much as possible..

I am NOT a die hard obama supporter but a person of reason.

Romey is not pro-choice he is multiple choice. I cant wait until they run those lines from the LIBERAL Governor of MA.

Easy response:

"I liked McCain of 2000. I would have worked with McCain of 2000. But even HE wouldn't be voting for McCain 2008 who's running now."

You go john. you now have 18,000, 000 democrats on your side. You are the man. OBAMA just showed his mentality. We will not go for giving in to foreign enemies, social medicine and in general A STUPID MENTALITY. I would have though you would have picked the Good REV. WRIGHT. YOUR UNCLE MIGHT BEEN ABLE TO PULL YOU UP.

I will be voting for McCain because I dont care if the war goes on, abortion rights are turned, or gas prices go up up up. I just wanted Hillary in the office.

Obama 08!

Niether Obama nor Biden have EVER worked a real job.

They have been politicians their whole lives.

These two don't know anything about the economy.

OBOMBER can choose whoever he wants to his team – he will still be the WEAKEST LINK!!!

Obama just sank his own ship.
Guess the "change" platform will have to be put on the shelves. Biden voted the same as HRC on the war, waiting to see how Obama will flip his stand on that....

Dear Hillary/McCain Supporters,

Its time to put your animosity aside, and unite against another four years of Bush/Republican tactics.

If you are really about putting this country back on track, then how could you even consider McCain, or not voting at all?

Will Biden be writing any of his own speeches or will he plagerize them? HAHAHA

For all those broken hearts that Hillary wasn't chosen and will vote for McCROWMAGNUM MAN so you can vote Hillary in '12, keep dreaming. Obama and Biden will be running for re-election at that time! You'll just be stupid. By the way, why haven't you sent her your money to pay off her campaign debt? Put your money where your pie hole is! Huh! That's what I thought!

Is this the best McCain can do? I smell som real fear here

Is this the best the Republicans can do?.........I hope the American public would expect more, rather than the same old negative "retread comments", from our future leaders.......... "something that they may have said, in the past".............. What a bunch of crap!....what about our future? Where are the men of vision, when we need one!

Now what would of been really smart is for OBAMA to pick a left wing republican...

With Mitt being as conservative as he is and McCain almost a liberal they are easily going to take the white house.

A democratic ticket will destroy our economy... Higher taxes, no offshore drilling and worst of all Universal health care.

I think Joe Biden is an EXCELLENT choice. The news Media and reporters need to cut the DRAMATICS and let us get on with an election. We are living on another PLANET, if we thought for 1 minute that Hillary was going to be the "choice". I'm thinking a couple months ago she knew she wouldn't be the one, but, would be offered a BIG ROLE, in the White House, when Barack is elected. And ummmmm YES he WILL be our NEXT President. So all you Loyal Democrats out there need to role up your shirt sleeves and get on with life and VOTE for Barack, because we the people need to survive and it just aint gonna happen, if Johnny Mc is elected.

Have a Great Weekend ALL

Mit Romeny has said a lot worst things about McBush. Wait until he announces his nominie which everyone knows it will be Mit the flip floper with more houses than McCain.

HA! HA!
This is funny. Bad choice Obama. Two of the most liberal career senators on the same ticket? HELLO President McCain!!!

Swami says "McCain answer in all debates will follow this format-

NOUN-VERB-POW
NOUN-VERB-POW
NOUN-VERB-POW
NOUN-VERB-POW

LET LOOSE THE HOUNDS!!!
ALL GLOVES OFF OBAMA/BIDEN!!!
HIT MCCAIN UNTIL HE FORGETS HE HAS 7 HOUSES, A CLOSET FULL OF $500 DALLOR SHOES, ACCESS TO HIS FAMILIES OWN CORPORATE JET, AND A FAMILY NET WORTH OVER $100 MILLION.

I WANT TO HEAR HIM SAY UNCLE AND ROMNEY SAY THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08,12

Compare Biden's resume to Obama and your realize just how unqualified rookie Obama is to hold the most important leadership position in the world. Ref Obama quote "I think he can be ready but right now, I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training,’” Sen Joe Biden.

Oh, don't worry Obama fans...it is "perfectly ok" for Biden to slam Obama and not get beat up over it. However, Senator Clinton, being only a woman.....well that just would have been unthinkable, now wouldn't it?
It is really getting more difficult to hop aboard the Obama wagon.
Keep up the good work!!!

i agree with u Darren. you are so right.

Southern State...

No one was robbed of anything. It was a close race, yes, but no one was robbed of anything. Get over it.

For all you Hillary '12 idiots... 1) Nothing is for certain nor guaranteed ... 2) If Hillary or Bill don't come through with their support for Obama, then just HOW do you think the Obama coalitions will respond? (in "12)
I can tell you as an African -American she wouldn't get the Black vote as she once enjoyed, nor true democrats, as well as other voting blocks if she sabotaged 08 for Obama & Democrats!

Wake up... Hillary lost, Obama is the nominee – AMERICA can't afford 4 more years of Bush/McCain Economics! Perhaps your economics are not affected by Bush taxes – but for 95% of middle incomers we can't afford – Bush/McCain tax cuts, or costs of war!

I don't want my daughter drafted for more McCain wars!

Obama/Biden "08

Southern State: Why do you feel that Hillary was robbed? More importantly, why do you think that Hillary should have been the Nominee AND the VP? She lost the nomination. It was not stolen from her. And it is for Obama, and Obama ONLY to decide his VP. Not you and the rest of the sore losers.

D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-I-O-N A-T I-T-S B-E-S-T-!

Can the Repugnancans just grow the h3ll up?
The Attack Dog's onboard!!!
OBiden'08

I meant the media is still going to be there in 2012 in my earlier post.

McCain you just inherited 18 million votes! Congratulations President McCain.

Hey "Southern State" you and all those PUMA PUKES can take your broke behinds on over to the dark side and vote for McRich...it won't make a difference!!!!!! Hillary lost that election by running a pathetic campaign and surrounding herself with idiots! Stands to reason some of you Hillbots won't get on the train with Obama & Biden. But when the smoke clears on Tuesdan, Nov. 4, Obama will be "President-elect" and you will still be angry about wasting a vote.

All of you so-called Democrats planning on voting for McFilthy-Rich need to grow the heck up and SOON! Stop the WHINE, it's really childish and BORING.

Obama / Biden 08 & 12

Biden is an incompetent career politician from a no where state that no one cares about. He knows the truth about Obama, but cares more about his party than he does his country.

Ohh...and didn't he vote to go into Iraq? If Obama is using his opinion on the war to demonstrate his judgment...what does that say about Biden's judgment?

Obama can't have it both ways

Ooh, the McCain campaign is shaking in their $520 italian loafers. Biden will destroy Romney in the debate and have enough energy left over to take down McCain on the campaign trail.

to Southern State–Hillary is the President–in her own mind . and that was the problem from day one she always thought the crown was her's . but thats not how politics work. This isn't the British Monarchy–but she thought it was.And as a New Yorker I have to tell you Hillary has done nothing since being in office here.Shes all hot air–your confusing her with the old Bill–he was a worker–even he has lost it now.

(sigh) I'll say this again...
A challenge for any Hillary Clinton supporter who feels so let down by their party — (just for reference, this is coming from someone who is happily an independent) — that they've decided to vote for McCain.

First, list all the policies Hilllary Clinton supports that you agree with.

Second, list all the policies John McCain supports that you agree with.

Third, list all the policies John McCain supports that you DISagree with.

Fourth, go back to your "Hillary" list, look through all the things you wrote down, and HONESTLY ask yourself for each item… "If I cast my vote for McCain, what would he do in regard to this? Would he follow Hillary's ideals and the ideals I agreed with? Or will he do something different?"

Please come up with more substantial things than "I like Hillary because she's a woman" and "John McCain's got far more political experience", because–
1)Voting for Hillary solely because she's a woman is just as ignorant as those who would vote against -or- for Obama solely because he's black, or those who would vote against -or- for McCain solely because he's old.
2) "Experience" of any type or form, and how much of it is needed to be a good president, is not a policy. It is an opinion. Countless others could argue that political experience is actually a negative due to the corruptive influence of political power. Regardless, unless you can provide heavy sociological and historical evidence to support either side, it's still an opinion and cannot be treated as issue-oriented reasoning.

I guess what I'm trying to say here is this:
If you want to vote for McCain, that's great.
If you want to vote for Obama, that's great.
But vote for whom you will for the right reasons, aka you agree with the majority of their policies and stances on key issues that affect your life.
Don't throw your vote away to satisfy a briused ego or the latest rumor-mongering. It's worth quite a bit more than that.

It's all politics...lots of hyperbole...and jockeying for position. Of course when you're in a primary you think YOU are the best man/woman for the job. Of course Hillary was NEVER the best woman for the job. She didn't have any experience herself, and voters, by a MAJORITY fair and square picked the fresh face with the new ideas, not old politics. That's one Sen. Barack Obama.
Fools like McCain 08 and Hillary 2012 are actually sacrificing our country's future out of hatred, spite and pettiness to name a few of their less than honorable qualities. If you say you'll vote for McCain to get to Hillary in 2012, you're absolutely a nut case. There's no guarantee that this country will exist in anything similar to where we are today if McBush gets 4 more years. People like that need to really THINK, but I think they're incapable of thinking.
Pathetic, you really are.

Biden was absolutly right in his previous ads about Obama.
Obama is not fit to lead this country, so it all going to be on Bides's
shoulders now , he is not only going to be VP, he is also going to
have to be the President.

Beware of the 'old" tapes trap.... Be very aware Mr McCain....

McCain '08 for Hillary '12,

I guess you are still not giving Obama any credit for winning the primary. Well, guess what? Obama beat Hillary. You might say that Obama got help from the media who was against Hillary. The media is still going to there in 2012. You might say that sexism cost Hillary the election. Do you know that more than 40 percent of white female voters in the Democratic primary did not vote for Hillary? You might say that the DNC rigged the election. That must have come as a big surprise to a lot of superdelegates, since most of them before the start of the primary supported Hillary. You might say that the caucus system is unfair. Hillary's husband, Bill, went through the same caucus system and he went on to win the presidency. You might say that crossover Republicans helped Obama because they did not want to face Hillary in the general election. Well, if it is that easy for Republicans to keep Hillary out of the general election, they can do it in the future too. This means in 2012, 2016, or anytime in the future. Good luck with your Hillary '12 dream.

Oh, I forgot about the racist card. Do you know that blacks comprise only 10 percent of the total US population, far less than either the total number of white males or white females? It does not make sense for Obama to raise the race card, since it turns off more white voters than helps with black votes or white sympathy votes. Both Obama and McCain know this, which is the reason it was McCain who was jumping up and down about the racist card. On the other hand, it
made more sense for Hillary to raise the gender card, since there are more female than male voters, This was even more true in the Democratic primary, which skewed even more to the female voters. So tell me again, how did Hiilary lose the Democratic primary?

Hillary in 2012 !!

Dont stay home. VOTE

VOTE for McCain

Registered Democrat for McCain

Dont listen to a word I say. I have been wrong soo much during this presidental election. Now since you know that, I will now perdict that Biden wont help Obama all that much and going into November it will still be a very close race. Meaning take off of work the day after election day because its going to be a long night.

I think the choice of Biden as VP shows very good judgement on Obama' part. He's obviously not threatened by having intellegent people around him.

Hillary wont ever be a Presidential canidate

Understand why

PUMA

Because she is trying to mess up the election for Obama

She has lost the Black vote

She is out for herself and not the Party

Lastly, her time is up. Everybody will remember her 18 mil voters and say I dont want to go through this again

he's no different than mccain.this is not change.wish i had my money back.

The year is 2007 (last year) Jim, the 2005 remark was for John Mccain. And no it is not made up, it was a debate. Sorry, Im not republican either. But in my opinion, I can honestly say I would only vote for Obama if he were running for Preacher of Rhetoric of the year...

It is funny that the only people that are commenting are the cry-baby liberals...oh boo who, woah is me...Mcain made another add...

I hope the McCain campaign grows up. They operate like little bullies in the school heard that ya have to punch in the nose to get their attention.

Fantastic pick! Biden was my initial choice for president so I am thrilled. Biden is way better than anyone McCain could throw out there. It doesn't get more non-elitist than Scranton's own Joe Biden The VP debate will be a lot more fun this time around.

Obama is once again showing that he knows what the american people want.
By selecting Joe Biden as he V.P. running mate, he's put the final nail in John McCain's presidential coffin.
Time to pack it in and go home McBush.(if you can remember where your 8 homes and 2 condo's even are ???)

McCain '08 for Hillary '12, you must have enjoyed the last eight years and love the idea of more of the same only a fool would vote for McCain after what Bush has done for our great country the last eight.

Hillary should have been the presidential nominee
Hillary should have been the vp nomninee.

Obama, you have robbed HIllary Clinton and us voters for the last time.

I will be voting for McCain.

Say whatever you want Republicans, you KNOW the Dem's ticket just got a MAJOR shot in the arm. Joe Biden is good man and as honest as you'll ever see in a politician. I was going to vote for Obama before he picked Biden, but this is VERY SWEET icing on the cake.

Obama/Biden '08

McCain may be a war hero in the past, but he is no hero now. What kind of example is he setting- one who is nasty and is a name caller. He is setting a poor example not only for our children, but for the US. Somewhere between being a war hero and his life today, he has lost his integrity. That does not wipe out the past, but his past clearly does not define him in the present nor the future...shame on him.

McStain is at it again.

Any Democrat who votes for McWar is a hypocrite and probably has an IQ of under 100 anyway.

People who vote out of revenge or racism, not because McCain has "experience"...please.

Experience is what? F'ing up the COUNTRY, THAT'S WHAT!!

Joseph Stalin had "experience".

As a McCain supporter, I am so relieved that Obama selected Biden as his running mate. Had he selected Clinton, Obama might have won this election. With Biden at his side, I now feel confident that McCain will be our next President!

Obama has my vote,

Great pick representing the average americans, not the elite like McCain and surrogates.

Grow up ! McCain ! Can't get a piece of cake !

I can't imagine anything he said that was any worse than what Hillary said or did when campaigning against Obama. It's politics! McCain may be a good man but his campaign doesn't show it.

Well.....I must admit I agree with Biden Obama is not ready to lead and being in the White House is not the time for OJT. Dont get mad at me Biden said Obama was not qualified

I will vote for McCain so that I can vote for Hillary in 2012!

McCain!......We're not as STUPID as your campaign! You need better advisors and your underestimating the American people. So much for your straight talk!

Barack Obama and Joe Biden are possibly the two most intelligent people in the United States right now.

Yeah, this'll work.

Yes we can!!!

If you just listen to the ad it even sounds petty, like something a 5th grader would bring up in a playground fight. And really... they were opponents then. AND McCain may have set himself up YET again like he did with the elitist and number of houses thing because Romney absolutely ripped him during primary season.

He also said that he can be ready. This was over six months ago and clearly alot can happen over the course of half a year... The RNC and McCain camp have gotten desperate and they are going to any means to make Obama look worst, which doesn't make them look any better. It's actually really sad.

McCain 08 for Hillary 12, and all the other Hillary fans that are planning to vote for McCain, please just vote for him already, but remember the other half of the party did not vote for her in 08 and will not vote for her in 2012. I voted for her in 08, but i will never vote for a republican! We need to have a democrat in the white house. Now that Biden is on the ticket, all is well.

Well, well! So THIS is the CHANGE you've been waiting for, folks! Obama has now - with one fell swoop - thrown his ENTIRE philosophy "under the bus!" Nice going in order to have an "attack dog" do the dirty work for Obama. Doesn't surprise me a bit. Always knew Obama was nothing but empty rhetoric.

What is Obama's change message when he brings such a long time Washing politician as well? Changed his change message already?
By the way, age is not a disadvantage for McCain any more!

I will have chance to vote for Hillary in 2012!

That's just politics. Welcome to the jungle. I don't care if he had picked Santa Claus I'm not voting for him.

Excellent ad. It's clear Hillary should be President. If not her then I'll have to vote for Nader or McCain.

PUMA 4 LIFE

who cares? McCain is bring up old crap

I would rather have Biden as President.

THE TRUTH SOMETIMES HURTS. # of people who will not be voting for B O. 50% of 18 million. So B O will needs to replace those 9 million plus 9 million more because these folks are voting for McCain = 18 million for those of you who can not count.

Biden is an excellent choice for VP. What a strong, appealing team. If her supporters don't spoil it for her, Hilary Clinton will obviously have a very prominent spot in an Obama government such as heading up the healthcare initiative, working for women's rights, Secretary of State or some other high profile position. She will not be forgotten. I hope that McCain does pick Mick Romney because there are tons of negative clips that the Democrats can choose from. Good luck to the Obama/Biden ticket!

McCain '08 for Hillary '12......
Please take a long hard look at McCain before you vote for him if you truly are a Dem.
See how close McCain policy/record matches Hillarys own record and policy.

apparently romney is not going to mccain's VP is this is going to be his attack on obama/biden

obama especially during the primaries, obama had biden's back with the "articulate" remark whereas ronmey & mccain HATED each other

this the route mccain wants to go, then he better not pick romney because there's stuff FAR than worst than whut this tit for tat

all biden have to say is "obama prove me wrong" and it's a dead story

Should be good to see how John McCain will act now. He's been the follower this whole campaign, since he's too afraid to lead. Once again he plays second-banana because he is unwilling to make a risky but important decision.

Come on John, you've had months more to consider your running mate than Obama. Why not make public your decision?

I like the choice of Biden as VP. BO doesn't have foreign policy experience. Biden brings that ten fold.

On the flip side, it looks like McCain will chose Romney. Romney doesn't have foreign policy experience but has business experience.

Old and old versus young and old. Interesting choice on the surface.

Gee, think we can find a republican candidate criticize McCain? Grow up McCain... Hehe

Biden spoke the truth–Obama is simply not ready to be president. That's the fact. He's way too inexperienced. Maybe another time, but we can't afford for the Presidency to be a training ground. Here's one democrat who is going to vote for the best person for the job, not along party lines.

Whatever Biden has said was nothing compared to what others have said and done. At least he didn't throw the kitchen sink at Obama.

As a fairly independent voter, I'm leary of Obama and his constant flip-flop on everything. While I'm not a big McCain supporter, I would have voted for any ticket with Hillary. Now, if McCain wanted to demonstrate change and picked Hillary – then he'd be unbeatable.

It's really funny people believe the media hype that Obama has a chance to win. This is a conservative country and I have no doubt McCain wll win. The left wing has been trying for 8 years to make it seem that America shares their values win in reality , we don't.

This 'hope' and 'change' facade will fade in the coming months and Obama will be a memory just l ike 'Kerry, Gore and Dole, and...and....who ran against Bush Sr...???

What I find interesting is Gore would have won in a landslide had he been the Dem nominee.

To all those Hillary supporters who continue saying crap like "I'm voting for McCain so I can vote for Hillary in 2012" it works both ways...

If Barrack Obama loses in 2008 and Hillary gets the nomination in 2012, then I'M voting for McCain!

Woo! Yeah! Let's all cut our noses off to spite our faces!

Get with the program, sorry your candidate lost, but this election is bigger than that.

Obama '08

McCain '08 for Hillary '12 – my children will suffer for the legacy you and others like you are leaving them with. Instead of doing what is right for the country and getting it going in the right direction you want to be mean spirited and not vote for someone who has nearly the same platform as Hillary. Our children will be PAYING the price for the last 8 years (and possibly 4 more) of Republican incompetence (www.agorafinancial.com/iousa). Think of future generations, don't just whine because your first pick couldn't win the party nomination. My husband met a lifelong Democrat last night who couldn't bring himself to vote for Obama because of Obama's skin color. Why exactly can't YOU vote for Obama? Celebrity Worship? I call it PRAYING for CHANGE (I would have been happy with Hillary). Race-card playing? Obama did NOT play the race card, shame on you for using this as an excuse. The hatred in American politics scares me, you hate Obama like people used to hate Bill (saw him at Tougaloo, also a "Celebrity" because he can excite the crowd and get them behind him). Hope he can help "draw in" Hillary supporters!

Joe Biden...and this is "the real CHANGE we can believe in?" Sounds like more of the same old, same old Washington politics to me. Way to go Dems. If anybody could find a way to lose a shoo-in election, it's the DNC. Oh well, we survived 8 years of Bush. Four more with his lackey McCain (hopefully) won't kill us either. Maybe by that time the Dems can get their act together and bring an experienced, ELECTABLE candidate to the table...

these comments were made in 2005..!

Biden has come out TODAY to say.. the Joe Biden in 2005 does NOT know the John McCain of 2008...

Paul Harvey says- and THIS is the rest of the story..

This Is An Excellent Choice! Obamas Judgement Is As Sound As Ever! You Will Surely Get My Vote!

Big Smack just could not wait to hit Biden. Lucky for us today he remembers who Biden is. GO GRANDPA!!!

What bad things did Romney say about McCain? If Romney is selected, the words will be in ads. Bush Sr.'s words about Reagan economy was used against Reagan too, but it seemed it did not work. We will see if all these attacks work.

Poor McSame rather than prasing the VP selection goes for the usual dirty tricks!! All McSame can do is criticize others than having to ay something about himself and his VP or policies.

Their slogan can be "TWO MEN, TWO HOUSES " simple enough-awesome ticket

This is not about Hillary! And the media should stop trying to make everything centered around her and Bill. They have important roles!

Why do CNN keep saying he didn't consult them. I don't get it? And they comment about not vetting her. She has already ran for Pres. I think they already knew more than they needed. She would have made an awesome chhoice but face it baggage may have been too deep to go into all the money recieved from "The Library fund".. Heard big names would have to be revealed. Sometimes by not getting into those details are better off left alone. Honestly I think they would agree and Hill is great at what she does not being someone behind the scene. I know the media loves to make hills into mountains I wish they could stick to the issues instead of bringing folks on to just bash what is already a done deal. She is not the nominee!!!

The issue is mainly with Obama. Even with Biden on the ticket, Obama is still an unqualified, unprepared, non-vetted individual. He is definately not prepared to serve as President.

If Joe Biden ... in 2005 ... was criticizing Barack Obama as an opponent in the election process ... I could understand. However ... at the same time ... Biden was upholding John McCain. Now the American people have no idea where this guy in the political spetcrum. There is a wide gulf between a right of center Conservative and ... a far left Democrat (?). What is his ideology?

McSlime as usual. He has nothing to say for himself so he uses negative ads at Obama. I wish this man would not call me (my friend} and stop with the double speak, double speak.

At least McCain can afford his homes, Obama had to have a friend help him out. Sounds like he is trying to be elite by owning something he cannot afford.

Well gee, that changes everything. If Obama's own running mate says he's not ready, then I don't know if I will vote for him...

Oh wait- yes I will!

Nice try, McCain (not really, I'm just being polite)

Obama|Biden '08

Biden's comments were of one candidate against another. Typical politics! McCain and the Bush cronies are in for a fight now. I have always admired and respected Senator Biden and I think Obama's choice clearly shows he has good judgment. My vote has always been for Obama, and this ticket will surely get my vote. Good choice Obama.

The one thing that sets Biden apart from the rest of the crowd is that he says what the rest of us are thinking. For instance, when Bush made those ridiculous comments to the Israeli Knesset, Biden didn't cloak his disgust in wordsspeak. He said what it was. Bullsht! That's what we need. A real straight talker/

Of course the McCain is going to attack the Obama-Biden ticket. Just wait until McCain chooses HIS running mate, he will be attacked as well.
Obama made the right decision – he always seems to make the right decision and dosen't cave to public or political pressure (by choosing Hillary).
Obama-Biden will be a force to be reckoned with – they will take our country back!
I fully support this ticket!!!!!

Vote Smart – Obama-Biden '08!

I am a registered Democrat , but I believed we do not have a good
pick for the presidential candidate, therefor I will just go for McCain
as I feel he is far more better than Barrack H. Obama.

Republicans are like VULTURES. Vultures are always looking for something stingy to pounce or capitalize on. Vultures don't eat anything that is fresh and that's how republicans are. McCain does not have a quarter of Biden's reputation.
After they show this ad, what else are they going to use? McCain has not said anything POSITIVE on his campaign that can change somebody's mind to vote for him.
He has already lost. CAN'T REMEMBER THE NUMBER OF HOUSES YOU OWN. REALLY?

What a cheap shot

Hillary only supporters listen up!! She will never be POTUS becuase Obama is going to place her in one soon to be vacant Supreme Court seats. Those seats are far more powerful then being the POTUS. If you do vote for McCain and he wins I hope your house or trailer gets forclosed on or die from cancer because you have no health care.

If Biden disapprove of Obama running for the white house. Then i should too.

Mc Cain's camp has got to weigh in carefully here.
yuo have a man too old to be president that has yet to name his running mate.
If picks gets someone young- he's vulnerable. If he picks the Gov of FL. he's pandering electoral colleges votes. If he picks someone hwo under stands the economy, he admits his biggest weakness.
The Bibilical quote about castingthe first stone is easily played here.

Is this a joke? Biden has criticized BO as not equipped to be president. Besides, Biden is opposite Obama on the choice issue. How nuts can this ticket be? How ludicrous. Biden was right of course about Obama's lack of experience and a record of accomplishment.....remember, just 4 years ago, Obama was voting present in the Illinois state legislature.

Unless they keep Biden snowed like they do Michelle, He is going to be one big Headache.

I'm going to love this. Biden has been around for a long time and there are a lot of sound clips of Biden putting his foot in his mouth. Thank you Obama.

Both Biden and Hillary blasted Obama just a few months ago for his lack of experience, and said he's not ready. Were they lying then, or lying now. I think now. Sha, a year ago isn't exactly ancient history. Do you really think a year of campaigning has made Obama any more ready? The video is what it is. Stop trying to spin it. Anyone with half a brain knows Obama isn't ready. Get ready for a bunch of Hillary ads as well. Face it, Biden spoke the truth a year ago, and in 2005 when he praised McCain's abilities. Biden would have ben a much better choice than Obama as the Dean appointee. Just wait until Hillary's supporters cause major chaos at the convention.

What this ad shows me is that Senator Obama is looking out for us. Here is a person who has made criticism of him in the past yet he looks past that and selects Biden as a running mate because he brings to the table strenghts in an area that will be helpful in running this country.
My hats off to the two of them. Thank you for thinking what is best for the people of this nation. The whole purpose is about change and what it will take to turn this nation around.
The hope of real change is finally coming our way. Two intelligent men with substance instead of a self proclaiming war hero. I love it!!

So what John McCain?!?! Senator Biden was critical of Senator Obama in a debate while they were running against each other last year. And he said some kind words about Senator McCain 3 years ago. That's 3 years ago – 4 less than the number of multi-million dollar homes owned by John McCain.

How about all the fights McCain and Romney got into during their debates?

Regardless of all the immediate negative posturing coming from the McCain camp ... they all know Biden was an exellent choice and they are not at all happy about their prospects against this dynamic Democratic ticket!!

Obama/Biden '08/'12 will be a reality with two devoted 'family men" in our White House!!

Biden has since praised Obama's judgement and courage and that comment on McCain was on the 2005 version.Just two months ago Biden gave an interview saying he can't believe the "new McCain" that he has been taken over by the neocons and should know better.

I'm sure the response from Biden will be swift and cutting.

Unlike John Edwards, atleast Senator Joe Biden will win Delaware for Obama. Folks, remember the statement of Joe Biden on Obama being a candidate for the nominee of democratic party? He had to apologize for that statement. Now, they are running on the same ticket? Interesting

A losing pair...

McCain '08

Clinton '12

You are truly an idiot "McCain '08 for HIllary '12!!
You are probably one of the ones that put Bush in office then cried foul play when our economy ended up in a mess!!

More of the same McCain and our country won't have a government for you to vote for anyone, let alone Clinton.

McCain '08 for Hillary '12: It is very easy to see through your agenda. If you wanted Hillary in '08, you would be voting for Obama in November. His is closer to her ideology than McSame is to Hillary's. I am guessing you were going to vote for a conservative regardless of who was running.

To McCain "08 for Hillary "12....

You just don't get it do you? If it is McBush, Hillary will be blamed (along all you nuts that are cutting off your nose to spite your face) she will not have the support of the party nor will Obama supporters vote for her in the primaries and she could possibly lose her Senate seat. Marinate on that, btw most of her votes were just to keep the race going not to actually support her, don't believe it. Check Ohio election news where thousands of Republicans switched to Democratic just to vote for Hillary and now are unable to vote in November because the law does not allow you to change affiliation, whatever your party at the end of the year, you are in that party for the full year.

FIRST IF ANY OF YOU OR MYSELF HAD MULTIPLE DOMICILES OR FOR THAT MATTER THAT KIND OF MONEY WE'D BE OK WITH IT TOO. DO THE MATH!!! ITS MOSTLY JUST COVETING ANOTHERS STUFF UNDER THE GUISE OF RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION. WONDER HOW MANY HOMES YOUR FAV PRES OWNED AND WHAT HIS NET WORTH WAS. SECOND BIDEN , WHO IS FAMOUS FOR SPEAKING H-I-H O-W-N MIND SAID EVERY WORD QUOTED HERE. IF MCCAIN SAYS IT WELL IT MUST BE TRUE, RIGHT? RIGHT? HYPOCRITS IN THE PROCESS YOU ARE. SHAME HOW PEOPLE REALLY ARE WHEN THEY HEAR WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. OBAMA MUST MAKE DECISIONS THAT CALL FOR EXPERIENCE AND INTEGRITY. NEITHER OF WHICH HE GUSHES WITH. SO PICKING A MAN SEEN TO BE MORE SO THAN HIMSELF MAKES THE PROCESS REDUNDANT. BIDEN DID LOOSE IN THE PRIMARIES. YOU PEOPLE SAID SO. RIGHT/ NOT HIM, OBAMA, RIGHT? HOW IS HE NOW THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB. DO THE MATH, OR MAYBE GET SOMEONE SUPERIOR TO DO IT FOR YOU. SINCE MATH ISNT YOUR STRONG POINT. IS THAT AS INSULTING TO YOU AS IT SHOULD BE TO OBAMA. BIDEN LOST MORE RUNS THAN OBAMA HAS RUN. IF GEORGE B OR MCCAIN HAVE A POOR STATEMENT IN THE PRESS IT IS NEWS. IF BIDEN, THEN, IT MAKES HIM VEEP FODDER, RIGHT? HYPOCRISY ON THR REV WRIGHT AND LUDICHRIS LEVEL. THEN AGAIN DO THE MATH.

I'm with you on that one. I can't wait to be blindsided again by McCain, for 4 more years just so I can foolishly try to get my way in '12. Glad I'm playing it smart once again because I just loved the reaming I've received for the past 8 years with Bush. Just what we need another Republican for president. Ignorance is bliss.

There is an easy and truthful response to this ad. It is clear that Barack Obama has crossed the threshold after these past 19 months. He has run a campaign that will go down in history as being one of the best campaigns ever run. He has managed an unprecedented amount of money, and a huge number of staff and volunteers. He has defeated this nations most formidible political family. He has energized the vote like no other.

Since Biden made the comment, he has seen that Barack Obama does, indeed have the stuff necessary to lead our country. If he runs this country the same way as he ran this campaign, we will be in great shape very soon.

Yes, Joe Biden did say these things a year ago.... But today, Joe Biden is running alongside Barack Obama because both of these men can adapt to changing times and changing circumstances. John McCain is running these outdated film clips because he believes that yesterday's answers should all be valid today, even if circumstances have changed dramatically between now and then. It's why McCain still thinks that the way to solve the energy crisis is by drilling for more oil. Its why he thinks the way to solve these long-standing conflicts in the middle east is to simply apply more military force and for a longer period of time. We tried that in Vietnam and it clearly didn't work. Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

Senator Biden is still happy to run against Senator McCain but he no longer thinks the country is better off with the new and worsened McCain.

Sen. Biden decried Sen. Obam's lack of political experience, yet balances an Obama ticket with it.

Can we say irony?

But seriously, Hillary Clinton only has six years senate experience on Obama, so she was laughable touting her "experience" during the primaries, compared with John McCain. He'd have eaten her alive on that.

When Barack and Joe win, I can't wait to see Rick Warren's face, McCain's face, Joe Scarborough's face, Sean Hannity's face and Rush Limbaugh's face. They're all cowards.

Cowards to the end.

Biden will not help with the trust factor. Independents and Hillary supporters don't trust Obama. He doesn't have much experience, and is running on fear and vague ideas like "change". His arrogance is offensive to most Americans. McCain will win in November because of his experience. We are at war, and most Americans who really think about it don't trust Obama, basically a civil rights activist, to represent America on the world stage and get us out of Iraq quickly and with the least amount of turmoil.

haha remember the Bush ads trashing McCain?

The GOP even went after Cindy for stealing pills from her own charity and called her a drug addict (which she was, but still, it was a low blow.)

GOP slime machine! lol

Obama sucks. If you like him you are gay. Actually, I believe there is a 47% higher probability that if you vote Obama, you are gay.

But, you know what they say, approximate 65% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

By the way, life starts at conceptions, not at birth...this should be evident from things like a heartbeat, blood pressure, brain function, MOVEMENT – that is not the momma kicking herself from the inside, etc.

Does this mean MR. TURTLE will not choose any of his former primary rival?
let the silly game begin.

OBAMA
BIDEN
08

Go Obama/Biden '08. Please speak the truth boldly, let the country know your tax plan etc. will HELP Americans, the clear majority. Get specific.The rich with their multiple houses and millions will not be harmed.Let's live Matthew 25 as a nation. Obama please speak loud and clear. Identify the changes you hope for and why. Be firm in bringing the truth to light on how your plan (some more details) will help us: Bring back the American dream!! Fear not. You are in our prayers. By the way, I know it was an uncovering for you, but I have your Wailing Wall (Jerusalum) prayer on my 'frig. That is a very good prayer, especially the ending: "Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will". In that manner we are re-fined and led, day to day. You can't go wrong with that prayer. God speed.

Do you Hillary supporters that think you can vote McCain in and that Obama supporters will vote for her in 2012?? You're crazy. If you don't vote for Obama now, Hillary will NEVER be president. If you do, I'll be happy to vote for her in 2016. Think about it and do what's right.

GO McCAIN – 08

NO obama bin biden NEVER

And the point is McCain cherish "OLD" ads..........................His campaign wants to look back when they should be here in the

Such as milking the "P.O.W defense.......................................
Know how many homes you own..............................................I mean get real how simple is that. It clearly shows most Americans own 1 house and is struggling to stay in it. The choice is clear!!!!!

Obama/Biden 08

Obama has shown the world that he is able to rub shoulders with foreign leaders and has surrounded himself with people that are not only smart, but have good judgment. O'Biden admitted his mistake about the Iraq war.

Obama, O'Biden 08

Calling John McCain "McPowPow" and referring to him as suffering from dimentia etc...wow, you Obama supporters are a mature bunch!

You must have a lot of time on your hands to be so "creative," (sarcasim), get a job!

It is seldom that you read anything creative from the Obama supporters.

I proudly support McCain and I simply compare and contrast his opponents views and opinions; to refer to McCain as "McPowPow" is simply an insult.

Oh and before you go there, yes I do have a degree, a good job and no I don't live in a mobile home. I however respect the views of those who DO live in their mobile homes ("their" homes), and do not judge ones opinions based on their educational background.

The McPowPow reference was wrong!

What is spoken by candidates during a debate should remain in ...uh...Vegas! You can bet that between Obama's smarts and Biden's saavy they've already got the pre-emptery gaffs covered. Go Barack/Biden!!!

congrats Senator Obama, for making the right pick. there is no doubt that Obama/Biden is a wining ticket. congrat again. the Republicans are very worried right now because they know that Obama made the right chioce. it does not matter who he picks the Republicans will still have negative things to say about the person even if the person were to be Jesus. Obama is right the Republicans don't know how to govern but they know how to run elections. they are very good with negative ad. but thank God Biden is an attack dog. in the words of the worst president in the history of America George Bush bring it on.

Bush/McCain love shots, anyone?

Pathetic, predictable boring and oh so old.

Don't you lobbyist handlers have better ideas than this, my friend?

mccain's camp need to sit down and take a breather. We no longer want to hear negative ads, but the issues and solving the problems for the people of the US of A.

The poster, "John," makes a very interesting point. If Senator Clinton was named as the VP, imagine what a field day the republicans would have with the Clinton's record.

I know there are many Clinton supporters who have threatened to withhold their votes or vote for McCain because Senator Clinton was not put on the ticket, and claim the election was "stolen" from Clinton, but honestly, aside from growing up and stopping this self-centered behavior, look at the facts and history of the Clintons.

I'm from New York and can tell you she has done nothing for that state. Two weeks after moving into a hotel so she could persue the empty chair in the New York Senate, she gave a speech in which she said, "as a fellow New Yorker, I know what this state needs."

A fellow New Yorker? Had a chair been open in Arkansas, she would be a fellow Arkansasan. If a chair had been open in Florida, she would have been a fellow Floridian, or a fellow Arizonian, or a fellow Martian. She won solely on the fact that her opponent was a huge crook and we all knew it. Her service is forgettable, as was her running in under sniper fire. We dodged the bullet with her...this time.

Yes, go ahead and sabotage this election so you can vote Hillary in 2012. That's if there is a country or a WORLD left in 2012. Will pulling the "Hillary" lever in the primaries give you some sort of personal satisfaction after four more years of misery go by? PLEASE get over yourselves and your disappointment. Hillary is not the candidate, and I can guarantee you that she will not be the candidate in 2012 either – not if 18,000,000 Obama voices have anything to do with it. If you like her so much, listen to her, and vote for Barack.

Of course Biden is going to say something like that. It was primary season, and he was in a debate. Joe Biden and Barak Obama are a superb team. You will have ideas for change from both. They really do get along well. Biden will not be a yes man. Obama's ego is not that big as to want a yes man. International experience? Biden is far above anyone that McCain can run with. So, you have a change agent along with a man with great experience. This is a no-brainer, for those who think.

Obama made a HUGE mistake picking Biden. He is a racist and Obama is using taht to please southern democrats. 7-11 joke about Indians, clean and articulate for Obama...great job Democrats!!! Why didn't he pick a female??? If McCain picks a woman it is all over...GOP wins!!!!

Who is advising democrats???? Change you can believe in, but only a little change??? Biden is Mr. Washington!!!!! Ugh...........................................................................................................................

McCain'08,
Anyone who types like you is too stupid to operate a ballot machine anyway. You'll probably vote Green by mistake.

I have not see the ad, but I imagine it says nothing about what McCain stands for or what he will do if he gets elected. I don't understand why people support him. I don't understand why a Clinton supporter would vote for him over Obama. Just out of spite? That is really stupid.

Look at all the Republican trolls posing as PUMAs.
God, to think anyone could be so stupid as to write some of the things they write, you know it can't be true!

Obama/Biden 08/12

When the republicans put forth smear like that it makes me all the more favor toward the democratic party.

The republican party is good only for giving big busness tax breaks ,big spending , putting America in wars ,big arrogance, putting the nation in debt ,bashing the democratic party is what they do best........

They proclaim to be christians yet when it comes to helping the less fortunate they dont........Doesnt the bible say feed the hungry and clothe the poor?

Go Obama / Biden

Sexism in the democratic party and the media is what you should be covering. Woman is still the slave of the world. We have come far, but have so far to go. Thank God for women like Hillary Clinton!

I am so happy with this add. is the reality. This race is becoming more like a joke. We have another joker on the podium who is arrogant and thinks that he knows everything. He copies rhetoric from the text book and tells the American people. It is too risky to place our great nation in these jokers' hands. It is becoming mor obvious that they are trying to discuss and discuss, have committees after committee and waste our tax-payers money. White house becomes a learning center. Get a life.

They should run some tape of McCain smiling through his teeth about women and children getting their brains bombed out by the US military.

This is REALLY low. I have zero respect for McCain now and would never vote for him.

How low is he willing to go? I can't stand these guys. It is the ultimate in dirty politics and makes me ashamed to be an American.

in reference to "McCain '08 for Hillary '12"

These are the idiots that live in the United States and are allowed to vote? Are you college educated even?

People are crying and upset over the GOP ad? Who cares if Biden and Obama were competition? Does that mean he lied back then?

All he said was that at the time he did not believe Obama was ready to lead. (2007 – when Obama was a potential candidate)

He also said he thought that "he" running WITH or AGAINST McCain would be good for this country. (2005 – McCain was still in the back of people's minds as a possible 2008 GOP Pick).

I see nothing wrong with the add – it highlights statements made by Biden against both GOP and DNC candidates. Jesus, you people don't think the Obama camp knew about this statement that was taped? They knew it and picked him anyways.

Get over yourselves people.

Good, the Republican party will get more racist to vote for their ticket. As if they need more racists.

This is America, you absolutely have the right to vote against Barack because he's black. But don't have a change of heart on your death beds. Racist are usually cowards, and they go out wimpering in the end.

Proud to vote for Barack, and prouder to be black.

Obama/Biden 08

Cheap shot!

CNN, how long does it take to "moderate" posts?

ya ok, and this guy McSame is the guy who also says that Obama is running for president just because he wants to be president; the same guy who accused Obama of the aforementioned admitted HIMSELF IN HIS OWN BOOK about his own ambitions for running for prez.

Biden was obviously saying anything to boost his credentials, but still, an Obama-Biden ticket is a great choice!

OBAMA!

Yeah........yeah..... look in the primaries everyone's out to destroy the other guy's chances. "All's fair in love and war" as they say. And its not personal .........ITS POLITICS!

I think that Sen. Obama choose wisely, I am proud that Sen. Joe Biden is on the ticket. Biden will bring years of experience, wisdom and he's a great talker. Joe Biden will be a formidable debater!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

Mcwar it is none of your bussiness!! you better pay attention to the Idiot that will accept to be your running mate next week!!

I'd wager that even after releasing this Ad, McCain will still pick Romney as his running mate. Romney said some very disparaging things about McCain before he clinched it, now Romney's his biggest attack dog.

I think obama made a good choice. McCain will have a difficult time picking a VP that won't also be picked apart by the Dems. Scary that Clinton supporters will go against everything Hillary believes in to try to elect her in 4 years. That is a long time to leave the country the way it is now? McCain has recently said he supports a "draft" & of course will run a "pro life" White House. I can't imagine anyone who supports Clinton wanting to vote for McCain's policies.

Biden is a great pick for Obama. Caroline did a terrific job.
Congratulations!
An articulate Obama and a seasoned straight talker is a great combination.

Now McCain may want to select Ridge for his VP.
I think Ridge would be better than Romney.

However, Senator McCain is not a warmonger.
He is anti-waterboarding and he will do everything to prevent a war.
No candidates have suffered as much as he has from wars.
It is unfair to call McCain a warmonger after his service to our country.
But I have heard worse.
If this name-calling continues, who, in the right mind, wants to run for any public office in the future?

Amazing – people voting for McCain so they can vote for Hillary in 4 years.

Meanwhile, Roe v Wade will be overturned, our economy will fall farther into the abyss, we will re-up for a war that we never should have been in for 100 more years and give takes breaks to anyone who makes less than 500 million dollars.

All because Hillary didn't get what was rightfully hers.

Makes complete sense.

boy McCain has sure turned this GE into a circus...and i still don't know what he is for. i supported Hillary, have concerns about Obama.....but i have no idea who McCain is or what he is for. i do know he is anti-choice and said something about reinstating the draft. now i am a mother of three, i have 16 twins (boy and girl) and my oldest an 18 year old boy...i don't want my kids dying in some war with Iran, so i am going to take my chances with Obama...i am a white woman in Ohio....to afraid to watch McCain take her kids.
i just wish McCain would tell us what he stands for instead of just him being against Obama.

What is this person thinking? seriously yeah Big Mac?
I really don't understand why everyone has such a problem with barracks experience. He had the right state of mind not to vote for the war. Experience isn't only how old you are, but what you have done with the time it took you to get where you are.
McCain's history is built with bullets and beer, and a house or two here and there. How can someone relate to the general public like that.
Barrack's history is painted with working for public works and trying to improve chicago.
He speaks to me, a 20 year old college student with a mound of debt, who doesn't own even one house let alone 20 like McCain. I wish you Defunked Hillary fans would realize what your really doing.
Stop voting to spite, and realize they aren't very different.
Start the change in 08

I am delighted about the choice of Joe Biden as Obama's VP running mate! He is brilliant, understands international affairs far better than I believe John McCain can claim. He has been a civil servant a decade longer than John McCain. Also Joe Biden can relate better to the plight of the typical American. He comes from a humble background and has not married into a great fortune. He compliments Barack Obama perfectly.

The fact that John McCain is bringing up statements that Joe Biden made during the primaries is interesting. If, as suspected, John McCain chooses Mitt Romney as his running mate, the Obama campaign can bring out multiple tapes of John McCain ridiculing Romney with derisive laughter. That, to me, is far worse than Joe Biden stating that he believed he had the most experience of any of his rivals durng the primaries.

to pumas and and so called democrats, you were not going to like anything this man does,so get over yourselfs, obama/biden will take the northeast, the west coast, the great lakes region, mcshame can have the south, the heartland. heck obama will maybe take virgina just for good of it. so hillary didn't get the vp slot, and your mad about it to the point you would vote for mcshame and have 4 more years of bush. oh that's right how dare this black man upstage hillary. that 's what this is about isn't ? if it wasn't hillary to hell with the dems, aint that right pumas? come on tell the country, you rather sell your souls to the devil than do the right thing like support the ticket. hmmmm your some real americans. obama/biden 08. pumas get a life !!!!

When run against someone that's what you do! Just like McCain and Romneys love fest. Hello "SAME THING".

O'Bama and O'Biden 08 Why not? What more can you ask for? You wanted experience, now you got it all! Change, smarts and someone who calls a spade a spade. Don't even damage Biden's reputation by comparing him to McSame. There is no comparison!

Americans don't deserve to have Obama as their president. After picking Bush to Gore in 2000, and bearing in mind all the atrocities of the Bush administration (forging a CIA letter to justify the Iraq War, destroying US's and World's economy and the flawed response to hurricane Katrina, just to name a few), even considering voting for John McCain (that is no longer the maverick he was 5 years ago and is tied with Bush in almost every policy) shows how naive they are.

Big Deal. Only an idiot would think this means anything.

Communist News Network.

Wow! I've always believed CNN's audience must have been one sided but the comments make it a whole lot worse than I ever imagined. So much for objective media.

John,

You said it the best...

Haven anyone noticed that CNN always put the links to John McCain ad's in their tickers but never Obama ad links, I always have to search for Obama TV ads.

I can't wait to see if McCain picks Romney. Go back and read the articles and watch the tape of those two. It was a veritable hate fest. Those two can't stand each other and it's obvious. What Biden said is barely a blip compared to those two. What does it say that McCain's best choice is a man he hates. He should pick Pawlenty. He's safe, young and he doesn't hate the man. Evangelicals have also stated quite clearly that they don't want Mitt and they dont' want Lieberman and they don't want Ridge. That leaves Pawlenty.

WHY WHY would we pick Biden?????

This guy is a slime ball.

Wheres the CHANGE?????

I cannot wait for the debates!

As a Clinton supporter I feel like I have been thrown to the curb and left for dead. I never thought that it would come to this but I can't vote for McCain and I have reason whatsoever to vote for Obama. I guess for the first time in my life I wont vote for president. This is awful... what has our country come to?

Just get it over with. You know they are going to pull out every ugly word Joe Biden said about Obama and play it over and over. Just let the Repugs get it out. You know this is nothing compared to if John McSame picks Romney for his VP. They will be sorry. There is so much negative stuff that Romney said about McCain. It will come back to them. We will have our say when McSame picks his VP. What they really should worry about is that Biden is an attack dog and will prevail against anyone in a debate.

Mc Cain has changed from an independent thinker to a Bush supporter

may be Biden has come to trust Obama's abilities.
sorry Mcain
Obama Biden you cannot beat

So glad he didn't pick HRC....we'd be getting ads every day using her words against the nominee.

Is McCain ready to be president? I don't think so... All he talks about is that stupid war the republican got us into. God forbid the war hadn't happened, McCain would have nothing to talk about. That's his entire speech, the only leg he has to stand on. What about this country and it's problems?

joe biden was an excellent choice for obama. as an african american obama just did not choose joe biden to shore up his foreign affairs credentials but also to give white america a good reason to vote for him. that was extremely smart on obama's perspective. the only complaint that i have is the timing of the announcement if obama had made the announcement on monday he would have gotten a bounce to counter attack john mccain's surge that he was getting from saddleback with rick warren.

Duh...Biden was running for President and trying to win. This McShame strategy is a waste of money. It's easy to bring up this sort of footage; McShame's camp should be careful.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Just wait to see the replay if McCain picks Romney!

There wont be any kisses!

I watched cnn during the gulf war when it was truly all about real news all around the globe. Your continually running of Mccains new attack ad clearly shows a bais towards his campaign. This will be my last post on cnn. Moderate this all you want but my news will come from MSNBC, KEITH OLBERMAN

The Bush-Biden bankruptcy bill is one of the worst laws ever enacted by Congress. It shifted the risk from predatory lenders to their hapless victims, and now we're all paying the price for the reckless lending that it encouraged.

To his credit, Obama stood up to the lending lobby, on behalf of ordinary citizens, and voted NO. McCain voted for the predatory lenders as well.

The difference could not be clearer. Obama voted for us. Even when he knew he would be burning bridges with powerful special interests who would bankroll his opponents to the hilt.

BO=O/B
Barack Obama = Obama/Biden

OBAMA
+BIDEN = VICTORY

Joe Biden is a great man, and he was my first choice for President. I'm so sad that he has teamed up with this lame candidate. The only way Obama could get the nomination was to label his opponent a racist, and to play sexist games, that demeaned women. Joe Biden is better than that, and his comments about Obama were right on. I'm going to listen to Joe, and not vote for Obama, the wannabe ROCK STAR!

This is the FIRST time I have ever wanted my own Party to lose. I was just going to write-in Hillary's name, but now I have decided to vote for McCain. I like Joe Biden, but I do not think he makes up the remainder of this ticket. There is a LOT to make up, too, because Obama doesn't have a whole lot to offer. What poor judgement the leadership in the DNC have demonstrated! We are going to lose the White House – AGAIN!

Predictable.

OBAMA 08

Just another example of a candidate who, lacking anything different or positive to say about his own campaign and policies, can do nothing other than find old footage to continue his insultingly negative approach. Come on John, get out of the gutter and play nice.

I cannot wait for the Mitt "Captain Underpants" ads to run.

I do not think a VP that basis his beliefs on wearing magic underpants - as the Mormons do - will survive campaigning...

I take Obama will do anything to lose this election to McCain.

How pathetic.

Pathetic.
McRomBush will toss any sort of slim in their desperate attempt smear Obama and Biden.
Oh and as for McCain'08 for Hillary '12, your thinking is so lame it is even funny !
Voting Republican over a Democrat when you are a so called Democrat. You are nothing but a traitor.

OBADEN!!!! HAS A NICE RING TO IT!!!! I CAN HEAR THE CHANTS NOW... OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!! OBADEN!!!

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic. The Republicans are frightened of Biden as an attack dog. Biden's comments pale in comparison to Romney's vitriol against McCain. Methinks McCain needs to hire better strategists.

:3:00 a.m.

RING! RING! RING! RING! HILARARY IS AWOKEN SHE LOOKS AT CALLER ID AND SEES IT OBAMA. SHE ASK HERSELF SHOULD I ANSWER ,IF SHE DOES MAYBE SHE WILL BE THE VICE PRESIDENT NOMINATION, IF SHE DOESN'T MAYBE SHE'LL BE PRESIDENT IN 2012 . WHAT SHOULD SHE DO? WHILE SHE IS THINKING ,THE CALL GOES TO RECORDER AS SHE RUSHES TO ANSWER SHE GETS THE MESSAGE HA HA HA HA HA(OBAMA LAUGHING IN BACKGROUND) WHOSE READY THE 3:00A.M CALL NOW, LOSER.

I agree, the country would be better off with McCain at the helm. The only one who would do a better job, isn't on a ticket. I guess Joes' trip to Georgia was a lobbing trip, at taxpayer expense. I guess Obama isn't so much for change after all. Joe has been in the Senate longer then McCain and is almost as old. Maybe we won't hear so much about Johns' age now. I guess Joe was bidding his time. ARRRR

McCain '08, Hillary '12, you don't deserve a vote: you have just said that you will put Hillary above your country. Disgusting. Wake Up and Grow Up.

YES. OBAMA/BIDEN.. It has a nice ring to it. McCain, when are you going to share how you will balance the budget in 4 years. I hope McCain takes Lieberman because CT can't stand Lieberman. This would have been his last term anyway. I hope I see Lieberman in the Labor Day parade so I can boo him for being a trader! OBAMA/BIDEN BABY!!!!

i am really worried about this country
any one with a working brain would know that obama isn tyhe best for this country
but with the comments i have seen an d heard of,it just shows that some people are really ignorant
they would rather vote for an evil old white man,than the black man who if given a chance would do a lot for this country.
its so sad that people cant get over race.
if any one would vote someone just to spite another contestant,or because of one's skin colour,wow
then i think america deserves a 3rd tenure of bush.
if people cant open their eyes and hearts to the truth,then they will continue to suffer

Okay So Biden is the pick, right?
Biden accepted the invite, right?
He is going to be Obama's running mate, right?

Then, how does the McCain campaign think this matters?

If this is all they've got, they should load up the UHaul now and get out of town.

McSame is lacking in all areas. Biden is smart! What are you afraid of McSame? Anyone Obama picked would have been criticized, so right on for O'Bama an O'Biden

Frankly, McCain has changed a lot since 2005. He's not the maverick he used to be.

Please: Biden has such an easy response about his praising of McCain in this ad: he can simply say, "yes, that was the John McCain I used to know. The John McCain of today is not a man that any of us recognize. He has become a puppet of Karl Rove's protege Steve Schmidt."

POW= Person of Wealth.

McCain demeans his POW background every time he uses it to answer ANY questions. He was captured, it was tough for a daddy's boy who never knew hardship, but he demeans it, and disrespects the other POW by using it to gain sympathy.

P.S. Joe Scarborough is ....bum.

Cant wait to see the ad with Mitt Romey bashing McCain.

John I agree with you about the Hillary supporters, the ad would have been worst.

Great choice. He is the one I wanted.
No Hillary!

who cares! obama/biden yes we can and will!

Now this is going to be good. We now have two men that are fully capable of talking to any world leader. We already had one "made for TV" presidency and don't need another. Sorry to the Hillary fans, but now is not the time. Lets see what McCain is going to do. America has been last because of Bush. We need to get out of this mental black hole of stupidity, and McCain needs a thinker with him if he is to win. He is too slow off the gun to be president.

Could Obama have picked someone who did not say this? I mean, seriously, it's obvious Obama doesn't have experience, so everyone said it... of course enough people who hid their heads in a whole did not care. They wanted the warm and fuzzies. Perhaps Biden is the candidate who said it the least....

First of all, so much for the big Hillary for VP push. Can you imagine the stack of material McCain had showing Hillary praising him and dogging Obama? Can you PUMA fools see what would have happened? Can you see beyond your selfish wishes? This isn't about Hillary, this is about winning. Hillary Clinton is NOT the be all that ends all people. Biden is an everyday guy. BTW, since McCain has brought up the plagarism charge against Biden and had the nerve to dig into the 1980's, then Keating Five is fair game, my friends.

Personally, I'd rather have Obama pick a VP that will keep him on his toes and not always agree with him. As long as they can work things out and get things done. Who would want someone who would always agree with everything you say? It's good to have a second opinion on issues that might not always agree with your thinking, as long as it doesn't affect the ability to get work done.

Disastrous pick. He's a walking gaffe machine, angry, hostile twrd Israel and is so NOT about Chance. Can Obama do anything right? The Hillary PUMAs are still pissed too.

Will Obama even win ten states?

I cant wait till the gop shuts down the used car salesman.Its time for all the Clinton supporters to move with republicans.Dont forget what Osama did to the women in the primary.He made her look like a racist.He had his preachers make fun of her.He did'nt even consider her for vp.Come in for the real thing.The republicans stand together we support family values we believe our money belongs to us not the govt.We are a party founded on the fact of ending slavery.Obama is the ONE THE MESIAH THE BECOMING.Not today buddy.

REPUBLICANS ARE LOW BLOWERS AND LIARS!!

Obama still does not have the experience to be president and putting Biden on the ticket does not change the facts. People do not elect a president on who is the vp. We have already had an inexperienced arrogant man for the last 8 years. I hope the american people don't make that mistake again.

Biden also has criticized McCain too... can't wait for the Republicans to show that ad!!

I hope Gen. Clark comes back out to slap McCain around again some more too. It's about time for the Republican Slime Machine to be attacked. They put money and party BEFORE country!!!!

McCain is an empty suit that's going to take us to war with Russia and DRAFT your children to fight it, because our current military is about all tapped out and used up...THANK YOU, DUBYA!!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!! VOTE SMART.... NOT SENILE!!!!

I voted for Hillary the first time around in the primary. I will not make that mistake again. Between the reported fighting within her own compaign, the constant attacks against Obama, and not to mention the spawn of die hard supporters that would elect McBush just to prove a point (he obviously is opposite of what Hillary's platform stood for), I will never ever-not in 2012 or 2016 vote for Hillary Clinton. Oh by the way, if McCain does get elected say goodbye to your sons. When we go to war with Russia, the draft will come back.

Biden said what most Americans think: Obama is not ready to be president. This ad is perfect and should be followed up by ads with clips of Hillary and other Dems saying the same thing. McCain is ready to lead and would make a great president, Obama is in over his head. Do the smart thing, vote Mccain.

BOMB BOMB BOMB MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICANS.

ITS A BIG BOMB ATTACK ON MCCAIN!

So, McCain 08. You'll take adultery, deception and lies over integrity. Yeah, you are a Clinton supporter.

For everyone out there screaming McCain 08, Hillary 12, how do you think she'll win in 2012? If by some miracle McCain wins, she has no chance of securing the nomination in 2012 because everyone that voted for Obama will be angrier with her than you seem to be with Obama now. Many will see the fact that we were stuck with 4 more years of the same policies as her fault and will be even more resentful. All she'll have is a couple million people saying it should have been her in the first place. What it should have been is a shorter primary season when she realized she was not going to be able to come back.

Somebody is probably already working on a book for release the day after the November election entitled "How the Democrats Gave Away a Sure Thing".
We had the election in the bag in May- and now we have flat out GIVEN it back to the Republicans. I hope the DNC and the Obama lemmings are happy.

Obama/Biden ~~~ sounds like Osama/BinLaden if you say it fast.

I like Biden but you just can't put a clean cloth over a dirt bag and hope it makes a difference.
NO VOTE

They were opponents...big deal..the Republicans hate this pick...because Biden is way more experienced than McCain himself

The 3 pm message looks like a spoff on "who do you want answere the phone at 3 PM"? Now "who is playing with the phone at 3 PM?"
Looks like we are in for High School Musical 2008.

Anyone who TRULY was for Hillary Clinton is a COMPLETE hypocrite if they vote for McCain. Alot can happen in 4 years. Four years of McCain means the loss of lives, money and respect for this nation around the world. If you really believed in Hillary's stance on the issue but you don't like Obama then STAY HOME or vote for Ralph Nader

McCain is very afraid now. We move now to high gear to V 08. Joe will help a lot to take the real McSame out of the closet.

It's a sad day when Obama/Biden are running against the likes of McCain/Romney--talk about lowering the bar-but thank George W Bush for that, he is the first "dumb" and first "selected" President in US history. And he is a drunk...

Go BOJO!

Joe Biden is the best choice that Obama made,he has a personality that Obama is looking for,he will go toe to toe with mcain and Obama will have a chance to sell his policies to improve the economy,when i got employed last year,the pay am getting is still the same while the price of gas,milk and generally all items have doubled

CNN, you have decided that MCCain is your choice for president and we the people understand that. CNN has consistently magnified and amplified negative stories on Obama while playing positive stories on McBush. Keep up your work as the "best name in news" whatever that means. CNN facilitated two Bush victories in 00 and 04. CNN was the mouthpiece of the Bush cronies to sell the bogus Iraq war to the American people. Now CNN is making the case for MCCain, whitewashing his past record and covering up his numerous gaffes and errors. The corporate press in this country is in the pocket of the GOP. CNN is chief among them.

BIDEN IS A GOOD PICK! THE REPUBLICANS ONLY FOR BIG BUSINESS PROFITS AND THE RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new McCain ad reaks of desperation by the McCain campaign...Another example of distracting the American people with ads like this and the Paris Hilton Ad. Goes to show the McCain campaign is totally out of touch with what is important for American people to talk about. McCain is a good candidate, but his campaign manager really needs to get in touch with reality and real issues that are important to the American people. Barack Obama & Joe Biden = 360 Degree Perspective, A Complete Package, A Perfect Match!!!
Obama-Biden 2008!

Obama should have picked Senator Bill Nelson of Florida. He's better than Biden. He's intelligent, thoughtful and knowledgeable. It's an insult to Floridians that Nelson was never considered. How many electoral votes does Delaware have? Not many.

I think if CNN quits whining about Hillary, some of her supporters will calm down. (Operation CHAOS people are bad enough to have to put up with – influenced by that drug-addicted low-life Limpballs)

This is one of the best choices Obama could have made. He now has a vp who can add to the holes everyone says Obama has.

Oh, and McCain '08 for Hillary '12, don't call yourself a Democrat anymore. You think Obama played the race card...not even close to the number of times Clinton pulled the "I am a woman" card. People can make up their own mind so face it....they didn't want Clinton as much as they wanted Obama. But if you want to continue running our country into the ground because of a grudge you have against someone who won, be my guest....but don't complain about what happens when we find ourselves in more unnecessary wars because McSame is just chomping at the bit. I guess you like paying out the rear for gas and having college students pay more and more for an education. I guess you are happy after the last eight years.

But yes I agree with many people on here...no longer can McSame choose Romney. Too many times Romney attacked McSame...a lot more than Biden did to Obama.

Go OBAMA and BIDEN 2008!!!!

I have a question. Everytime you hear the old talk he rambles on about when he was in Vietnam. That and my friends crap is getting old. Does he not have anything to say that is important to anyone else. Besides I don't really think he is a war hero. I think the men and women in the services are also war heros. They are the ones fighting a war that never should have been.
My friends, McBush needs to can the was crap and get to the economy.

For a candidate who wants change, why did he pick a candidate who voted for the Iraqi invasion? Someone who has been in Washington for decades? Someone who wanted John McCain to run with him on a Unity Ticket?

Who would be running the country, Obama or Biden? Will Biden be the one in the "undisclosed location"?

I don't care what McSame puts in an ad... Obama has my vote.

Obama/ Biden '08

Obama has said over and over he is a new canidate and has blasted his rivals over and over during the democratic campaign about the way Washington works. However, he choose a vp that has been in washington for over 30 years. i guess he is a typical politician after all.

It doesn't surprise me that the campaign would use what Biden said when he was running for President. I am sure if McCain picks Romney, Obama's campaign can find some choice words he said about McCain. This he said she said stuff is juvenile to me, and it should be to most intelligent voters.

All I know is this economy is in shambles and McCain doesn't even have a clue about his own finances let alone help America get back on the right track again.
This man doesn't even know how many houses he owns! You can tell he is clueless. He is too rich and rich people don't shop for their groceries, or pay their own bills. They have their staff take care of those things. John McCain is too old and out of touch with the majority of regular people. I want change not the same "good ole boy system he is in the mix with.

Obama is going to win in a big landslide.
God has already chosen the next President and no one will be able to change the almighty's decision! You can bet on that!

"McCain '08 for Hillary '12" is going to criticize Obama supporters for "celebrity worship" and then turn around and vote for a Republican only so they can vote for Hillary again in four years? The devotional celebrity-worship of Hillary to the point that her "supporters" will vote for another term of Bush policies is beyond me.

I don't see how you can disparage the facts as they are when you are seeing the persons own words, unless of course you comment without watching the video to see it is true.

Joe Biden is the right selection for Obama. Like Hillary he brings in experience, especially that of the foreign policy. He picks up where Obama seems to be weak.

FYI
For all those "so called Democrats" who would have only voted if Hillary was on the ticket...do us all a favor and stay home. You are not real democrats. Anyone that pitches a fit because Hillary is not on the ticket needs to think hard about the future of this country before they cast a vote for McCain.

This Obama/Biden team will bring the country into the 21st century – maybe even new technology instead of horse and buggy.

McCain keeps us in the 1960s and dreams of more wars.

This team will win EASY over the repukes ANY DAY !!!!!!!

Obama/Biden '08

The OBiden Ticket is on the move

I wouldn't expect lovers of the obama to be one bit disturbed by the choice of "plagerism" Joe Biden for VP. After all he fits the mold of the party perfectly.

..... and on the Republican front ... EVERY Republican has slammed McCain! Many Republicans I know refuse to vote for the man.

The TRUTH hurts for the obama cult and I can't blame them...they are trying to elect an empty suit! Even his VP thinks he is not presidential material...wake up and smell the coffee you cult members...you have been had!

Obama lies over and over. He said Hillary would be on anybodys short list, but he didn't even consider her for VP.
First time I will also be voting republican

Congratulations Senator Obama on your choice for VP. I'm sure that Senator Biden will help you run this country effectively and with great pride. As for McCain watch out because the Democrats are coming for you. The only thing that you're fit to be president of is a nursing home. By the way McCain while we Democrats are having fun at the convention next week, instead of making stupid Obama-Biden attack ads, you should spend a little time reflecting on how many houses you really have.

McCain is old and the only thing thats good about mitt romeny was he dad when he was govenor of Michigan. So if the old man picks romeny he is in for a even bigger fall.

This should show the world what Obama is made of. Most people would not pick a running mate that will challenge their authority if they thought it necessary. Obama is not afraid of challenge, he welcomes it, as does anyone who truly wants to do the right thing by his constituents. If you're gonna do the right thing, ya gotta have all the facts and opinions possible.

McCain '08 for Hillary '12:

She won't run in 2012. Not against an incumbent. Plus that gives McCain four more years to screw things up. And, frankly, she'll be too old in 2016 to run. Hillary's chance at the presidency is over.

If you believe in what the Clintons believe in then it's time to suck up the defeat and vote for Obama. McCain would be a disaster.

Of course, I think you're just a McCain shill claiming to be a Hillary supporter... because no one in their right mind will support McCain come November.

McCain might own 8 houses but at least he did not get them by sweet deals from a terrorist. I can't believe Obama would choose a "Old White Haired Guy" with lots of old Washington ties and voted to go to war. Real Change.

This pales in comparison to the "kitchen sink" Hillary threw at Obama. Even though she's not the VP choice, the GOP is saving all that footage for the fall ads along with Rev. Wright ads. The GOP smear and fear machine is just getting started.

What makes you Hillary voters, voting McCain, think Hillary has a chance of getting Obama supporters in 2012? Her political career will be over if Obama loses. It may be over now.

McCain is desperate and it shows. Those rich guys don't have a chance with middle America. They obviously don't relate to the common problems of people today. Let's get started! Now that everyone is paying attention, we need to take our government back!

Pretty funny stuff....

When democrats speak "live" they are thought provoking and insightful. However, when they are pre-recorded and played back by evil republicans they are "misleading slime".

You democrats have got your ticket backwards. Biden would be a much better presidential candidate with Obama as his "apprentice".

Picking Biden just shows how worried Obama is about filling "the suit" that we are now finding out is many sizes too big for him to attempt to occupy by himself.

Yes, I am another Democrat for McCain. Over time its becoming apparent that B.O. is not who the media is building him up to be. There is too much uncertainty about the man and with his economic policies he is proposing, we will all be in the poor house even worse than we are now.

The Republican slime machine always on the attack, I turned on their official propaganda channel this morning (Fox News), and of course they were talking about the attack ad, re-playing it over and over.

They use this stuff to scare the clueless into voting against their own interest. What's sad is that some of the Hillary supporters have been sucked right in and use the same talking points as Karl Rove.

The fact is we've had great Presidents in the past with almost no Washington experience, and complete flops with years of experience. Obama stands for the values of the Democratic party, just as Hillary does, our great nation can't withstand another 4 years of failed Republican policies.

Don't they still need to get both nominees through the convention? Just watch how these people will act next week. This is going to be a 3-ring circus . . . and they want to run this country. They can't even run a convention, let alone their Party.

Vote McCain in 2008

Yes yes, and one of McSurge VP front runners is Rommney. During the Primary Mitt ripped McBomb to pieces but now they are Kissy sweet. Just politics kids.

Obama and Joe are patriots and great men. We love you. I hope John McWar picks Mitt Romney and then we can have millionaires (Republican ticket) vs common Joes (Democratic ticket).

Looks like the Democrats will have to deal with a severe case of HOOF IN MOUTH disease again.

BRING ON THOSE DEBATES !!!!!!!! We can't wait!

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

The problems with this pick in short:

1. Two Senators on the same ticket with *NO* executive experience.

2. A VP who is the anti-Obama if you think that he stands for the end of Washington politics (Biden has decades in the Senate).

3. Biden has recently and repeatedly questioned Obama's readiness to serve as president.

4. Biden has relatively recently praised McCain and suggested his readiness to be president.

5. Biden is from Delaware. It is suggested that he can help with Pennsylvania because he was born in that state. People don't vote for a candidate because he was born in their state, but rather because he is recognized as having worked in and for that state.

did you like the last eight? well, you are going to love the next four. mccain wins and the demacratic ship is sunk again. thanks barrack. well done stupid

Funny to hear many Obama backer like Biden. He has been in DC longer than McCain. Oh I am sorry that is a fact that you can not change. Many bag on McCain for being in DC to long and now do you say the same about Biden????? No that would be the sound of flip/flop.

Romeny might not be the VP pick for McCain. If that is the case your "run the Mitt ads" has no power.

Obama/Biden sure there is some change......no wait no....same stuff......two guys that have been around awhile and nothing new.

LOL!!!!!

Obama-Biden ticket opens the door for Clinton 2012!

I think it says a lot about Obama. Isn't Biden the same guy who said that Obama was a clean guy........With all the statements that Biden has made about Obama, it should then stand out that Obama chooses this man and recognizes that his experience and knowledge is what this country needs
. All those horrible personal statements and attacks were just part of the race and in no way lessen Biden's ability to be a VP candidate. That speaks a lot about Obama's candidacy and ability to place his party's interests and country ahead of his own. Would many of us do that?

Even Biden knows what more and more Americans are (thankfully) figuring out. Obama should have waited to run ... or maybe that was the point ... ambush people in the middle of the night before you really know who or what a person is about.

Wow never underestimate the stupidity of a democrat.The only way obama had a chance at winning was to pick hillary.But obama has graciously handed the presidency to McCaine.Thanks obama,we always knew your judgement was questionable.The irony is biden has exactly the same views as McCaine on almost every issue.Your comming around to the position we republicans have had all along.well sorry to tell all you spoiled college rich kids blindly supporting this empty suit,McCaine is a lock now.Say it with me "landslide", "landslide","landslide".

also in addition, If Obama was going to decide not to unify the HRC democrats, I would have given him more consideration if he chose to select a "non insider" democrat, He flip flopped again- Why should I believe he will get us out of the Iraq occupation.

First time voter from NY, never thought it"d be a republican vote, yikes !! if not Hillary then Mr. Magoo.

Oh, McLame, please pick Romney, then people will remember your campaign where Romney dope slapped you every chance he got! ! This ad is so lame....just like all the others!

McCain, It won't work ... Not This Time!!!
You see, if there was a problem with Obama readiness as suggested by Joe Biden when he was an opponent ... It's fixed now with Biden on the ticket.

Another effort to take the spotlight off of John McNotSoPlain's misunderstanding of his own and the country's economic status.

How many residences does the elitist Senator and his wife own? No one knows for sure.

How does one define rich? John says, "I know many people iwth wealth that are unhappy". Tell that one to older folks who must choose between healthy food and prescription medicines, John.

I would agree with Biden in 2005 that McCain was a good guy. But McCain in 2000 wouldn't even vote for the McCain in 2008. Its a shame and very sad when people begin to cognitively lose their faculties. I think Obama/Biden 08 is wonderful! Watch out McCain! the two of them are much more powerful than either one separately!

I knew Obama would pick Biden as his running mate. The two have been crooks together since last year. Gotta keep it in the family you know. This bodes well for Mccain because Obama didn't pick the ONLY person who could help him win. I can't wait till these two yahoos get sent home packing after the GE.

Obama made excellent choice. Hillary would have been good choice also. Biden will debate Mitten and McBush effectively. He will cut the wrinkled baked potato in half, savor it and let potato skin hang from his teeth while debating Mitten. Love this choice.

if your a woman and you vote for Mc Bush–your giving away your rights. Hillary In 2012–if Obama doesn't win there will be such a backlash against the Clinton's your head will spin.
And as for Mc Bush isn't it strange that men who were captive at the same time as him–neither saw or heard of him–hum–makes you think

God is laughing at us?

OSAMA BIn laDEN

OBAMA BIDEN

Its what GOP stands for that worries me.

Does McCain realize that we have an arsenal of Repubs talking against him from the primaries? It's on now!

All is fair in love and war. We can agree to disgree.
Hall

Guess What? Biden has changed his mind. Deal with it McWar!'
No Draft –No Long Term Iraq Occupation–No War with Russia to defend McSurge jet ski Buddy– No Special Tax Breaks for Big Oil–
No more Bush by proxy of McBush!

Very disappointing, All you Obama supporters should understand that Hillary and Obama were practically tied. He just barely "won"- HRC understood how close the race was and that she would need to unify the democrats and would have named Obama VP, it is unfortunate that Obama didn't treat us with the same consideration. **and for anyone who disputes the remark I made about being tied, look at the states Hillary won, and see how the delagates were distributed**

For God's sake America, wake up. Hillary, PLEASE DO NOT give away your delegate count, aim for what you deserve – the nomination AND the Presidency. Look at how Obama treats his brother, look at how this Biden feels Obama is NOT ready to be President. If America wants to be respected, get rid of this loose canon and vote for who believes in, and is patriotic to America. HILLARY, don't give up, PLEASE.

CNN needs to get on-board technically. In the on-air segment, an email was quoted which talked about Obama's team sending out the 3AM text and that this was sophomoric. The email ended with the team being absorbed in all things IT and it was pronounced "it". IT is an abbreviation for Information Technology, which makes the email make sense.

It's so sad to see the Hillary supporters flailing around. You Hillary people do know that there is medication for your condition, right? Oh wait, under McCain you won't be able to afford it.

You Hillary supporters who are voting for McCain are total IDIOTS!! We tried being nice and commiserating with you when she lost, we told you you are welcome and showed how Obama's policies are almost EXACTLY the same as hers but but you just continue to cry and whine. So, screw you the gloves are off, you are total FOOLS to vote for McCain and your statements as to why show your total IGNORANCE about Obama. You perpetuate lies about Obama, refuse to find out anything about Obama and participate in willful ignorance.

If you Hillary supporters cause McCain to be elected, you can bet your PUMA a$$ that I and many Obama supporters will do everything in our power to ensure that Hillary not only does not get the Presidency in 2013 but that she doesn't even get close to being the nominee.

She ran a bad campaign, has shown her management skills to be sorely lacking and is just a mean old woman who thinks she should have been coronated. She has proven over and over again that anyone who opposes her will pay a price, even if they were right and she was wrong.

You have to admit that's a good ad and saavy political tactic! Obama's camp should have researched this decision better.

Another clueless mistake from his camp. Lord, maybe a miracle will occur at the convention and Hillary will walk out with a nomination.

LOL! I hope the Obama/Biden team will see fit to "play" some of the sound bites that Bush made about McLame.
Does anyone Else think McRICH'S ads are making him look foolish???? LOL!LOL!

@ JIM...TX The article never says anything about Obama in 2005. It says that Biden praised McCain in 2005.

@ David I'm sure the Obama campaign will show plenty of McCain/Bush photos. That's been a main strategy to link McCain to Bush since the beginning of Obama's campaign. Not sure what your getting at.

As a side note. Anyone else notice how similar "Obama/Biden" sounds like "Osama Bin Laden". Not that it matters. Just thought it was funny.

My take on Senator Obama's choice to send the text message at 3:00 a.m. can be linked back to Senator Hillary Clinton's television ad asking whom do you want to answer the phone in the White House at 3:00 in the morning. Again, Obama proves that he is a man ahead of his time. Way to go future President Barack Obama.

Sha "Only A Fool Runs A Race To Lose" McCain 2000 Anyone?

Mccain and the PUMA tweeds are toast when BIDEN tears into MCCAIN and COUNTRY CLUB ROMNEY . Obama will win by a landslide.

Come now McSurge Camp. Biden was competing against Obama! What was he to say about this unexpected "Dynamo"?

As for these so called PUMAs, if they vote for McCain and Obama loses, do they think Obama's 18 million will vote for Clinton in 2012? If this happens, the backlash will be so huge that Clinton will have to drop out before Super Tuesday. Grow up people!

McCain's opening the door for Biden to level him. He's already feeling threatened. McCain is just another Bush and this country can't afford any more wasted Bush non-economics...gimme gimme gimme. These people care about no one but themselves and McCain's POW background is not going to help him here. The gloves are definitely off! Take it to them Biden. I am so waiting for that debate because you can't play the games and run the ads on Biden that you did on Obama. He won't take your crap.

McCain 08 for Hillary 12, do you honestly think hillary has a shot in 12 if Obama loses? If Obama loses it will be in no small part, because of Hillary. Do you think we will forget that fact? She will never get the nomination, because of the cheap dirty tactics she used in this election cycle. So forget 12. You better worry about what McCain will do in the next 4 years if elected.

The media did not seem to get Obama's 3 a.m. email. Think back to Clinton's comment earlier this year-what will you do when the phone rings at 3:00 a.m.? I LOVE IT!!! Score one for Obama-Biden ticket!!!

Is this all they got???!!!! Poor McSame! Maybe TMZ can help them with their he said...she said ads. Boring!

Go O'Biden 2008!!

Senator Obama have you lost your mind? He may be experienced in foreign affairs but he has a loaded sack of trash behind him called plagairism.
Why do you think no one thought Sen. Biden to be a good Presidential candidate on his own merit?

Joe Biden did very poorly in the primaries that he quit before the races even started, he comes from a northern liberal state and has been a Washington insider for YEARS, this is change?

Sorry, Obama but I cannot support your decision on this matter you were going to be a historic candidate with a historic running mate and you blew it on your choice. I will either write in Hillary or throw my support to Ralph Nader of all people. I cannot begin to imagine myself voting for McCain in any case.

I hope something dramatic happens at the convention now that Hillary's name will be placed in nomination, an upset seems like the only thing that can save the democratic ticket at this point.

Seven homes for only one dwarf ... Tax breaks for big oil ... A health care system that doesn't change much ... An unclear energy plan, except attacks ... 10 billion to Iraq a month (Republican form of welfare) ... A 95% George W. Bush voting record

I live in a swing state (New Mexico) and I have to be honest; Obama's ads are working and more effectively too.

Obama-Biden 2008 and 2012!

Of course things are said in the Presidential primary by potential Presidential candidates in both the Democratic and Republican parties. Congratulations to Senator Barack Obama for selecting Senator Joe Biden as his VP running mate. And remember now Hillary Clinton took herself out of the VP contention by wanting to be placed in nomination for President at the DNC in Denver.

Hillary can now focus her positive supporting and campaigning now for Obama/Biden ticket.

Now watch John McCain ordering boxes upon boxes of his personal "DEPENDS" for his general campaign that just now got another shock of its life.

All I can say is WOW this is tremendous.

Thanks.

Obama/Biden 08

If McCain picks a female to be his running mate, Barack will lose for sure. Biden is not exciting at all, and he dulls down the "change" platform for me.

I have to say that I'm really disappointed- was hoping for a better, more galvanizing choice.

Oh well (sigh).. I'll most likely vote for Obama anyway... but it does open my mind to the possibility of voting for McCain (I can't believe I just said that!) depending on who he picks as his running mate.

Let's nominate Mrs. Clinton. It's true Biden can't even support
the Obama hot air machine.

McCain '08 for Hillary '12 August 23rd, 2008 9:28 am ET

GO JOHN

BIG MAC ATTACK!!!!! YES!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

You have my vote in November Big Mac

The ONLY reason is so that I can vote for Hillary in 2012

I never thought I'd vote for a Republican, but this time I will

I'll take experience over rhetoric and celebrity-worship AND RACE-CARD PLAYING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-----------------------------

So genius that means in 2012 you would also have to vote McCain since he has more experience than Clinton and Clinton has been known to play the " i'm a girl" card. Brilliant!!!

McCain will do or say anything to win. His AMBITION is to be President.

Change? Joe Biden is CHANGE? B.H. Obama uses words that are too big for him. This isn't CHANGE! This is the same ol' politics. He picked an old Washinton crony who's the same ol' same ol'. OSame-O talks out of both sides of his mouth and I'm very disappointed that he didn't choose Hillary.

JUST WAIT FOR JOSEPH TO HIT BACK.!!!
I WOULD JUST RUN A TAPE WHERE WcCAIN MENTIONS
THE DRAFT.GAME OVER!

Things get said in primaries. Big deal.This will go both ways when Romney gets picked.

the only thing I will say is I can understand Biden being very qualified and thats what we need WHY is the ticket not Biden/ Obama. What this does tell me is that Obama needs help because he is so inexperienced I guess its not what you do its how you can GAME the poltical system that gets you elected. Next time I go to the doctor perhaps I should ask the doctor ok you graduated collage what were your grades anyway???

Obama/Biden I don't know yet

Biden is a puzzle piece for Obama and nothing more. Obama lacks experience so pick someone with experience, Obama is young and so pick someone who is older, Obama is a minority so pick someone who is white, Obama is an empty suit so pick someone who is... wait... never mind...

More word play from libs and still no meaningful dialogue... Sad.

McCain '08 for Hillary '12 August 23rd, 2008 9:28 am ET

GO JOHN

BIG MAC ATTACK!!!!! YES!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Hit Bam Bam where it hurts – (kinda hard to hit an empty suit, though….)

You have my vote in November Big Mac

Understand why

The ONLY reason is so that I can vote for Hillary in 2012

I never thought I'd vote for a Republican, but this time I will

I'll take experience over rhetoric and celebrity-worship AND RACE-CARD PLAYING

Apparently the person who wrote this is confused. He/she wants McCain now and the complete opposite of McCain in 2012. How about the issues, my friend? Want a Supreme Court that will put us back to the 19th century or how about some more wars? Maybe if you lose your home you can live in one of McCain's. Experience is one thing, not knowing how many homes you own or what kind of car you drive is another.

Oh, come on CNN. The link to this article says "Ad shows Biden slamming Obama". "Slamming" Obama. Why don't you get some decent (not to mention accurate!) link creators. Slamming, indeed.

Stop the sensational garbage and concentrate on being accurate!

Just look at all of you Obama supporters going into a defensive posture so quickly! It's really kind of interesting to watch! The polls show this race to be a dead heat and you are all so afraid now that you know who your ticket is that you find yourselves defending every comment or suggestion of a republican strategy...in the 1st hour.
Elections, like chess, win with offense – not defense. Not one word here about Biden being a good choice – and he is! He adds experience to a candidate that has none....but you better be careful now with talking about Washington 'insiders' – Joe Biden is the guy who opens the door when others want to come inside!

Not a good pick from Obama. If elected I can see them discussing constitutional gibberish in the Oval Office. None has any experience governing. They are both great legislators wasting their time trying to govern this country. I predict this combo will not be a success. I wish Obama had picked someone who was a moderate with some governing experience.

Biden may not hurt Obama’s candidacy but will not help him either. I am an independent voter who was really interested in Obama’s pick and was a bit disappointed with it. He could have done better.

Jose

A direct hit! We're taking on water, sir!

Sen. Obama has done what is best for him but not necessarily best for the Democratic presidential party. Choosing Hillary Clinton would have been what is best for this country and the " winning ticket". I now will vote Sen.
McCain and so will my friends!!!!!

Hillary Clinton should be praised for gracceful praise of Obama's choice. She indeed has set the trail for her supporters to follow.
Her most vocal supporter i.e. CNN, should stop fanning the flame of discord by alluding that Clinton was disrescpected.
Obama has conceeded a lot to Hillary, putting her name in the role call, granting her and Bill prominent speaking roles at the convention and asking the Michigan and Florida votes been counted. These are storylines which CNN can pursue and give Obama credit for good judgement do far. Rather , CNN is more interesting in a "Denver backlash" against Obama. We shuold remember that the nomination is all about officially confirming that Obama is the democratic presidential nominee. CNN is high time you realised and accepted this hard truth..

Hillary may still be nominated from the "Convention Floor", However Senator Biden is a good Choice, a little premature, but He's a "Good Joe".

WHAT???? McCain criticizing? thats not like John McCain...he usually sticks to the issues...NOT. what will it take to get John McCain to understand that Americans want to know how we will be getting our jobs back, how we are going to pay for health care, the war in Iraq, our kids education, gas prices etc... John McCain has had 3 months logger than Obama to get his platform together and all he has done is try to bash Obama....WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN JOHN? other than surges in an illegal war that has cost the US trillions of dollars and thousands of lives? WHAT DOES JOHN MCCAIN STAND FOR? other than ineffective drill here drill now? is John Mccain so self absorbed that he thinks the only way to win is by running a dirty campaign? did'nt Bush 2000 run the McCain 2008 campaign?

McCain has been having a great campaign recently. Go John!!!

What have we done??? We send a text at 3:00 in the morning to what? Snub Hillary some more? Prove that Barack needs to reach out to someone with real experience to help him in the middle of the night? I love Biden, would vote for him in a heartbeat, but not as 2nd chair…. He is the leader. Barrack is nothing but talk. Hillary pegged out of the gate and we just proved it. Frustrated and now uncertain how to vote, of if I will.

All kinds of things were said in the primaries. What matters now is Obama and Biden together, are the right men for the job. I'm glad Barack gets that. He needs Biden's foreign policy experience. Plus Biden has a really good civil rights record.

All Barack was going to get from Hillary was the possibility of a few whinny women who haven't even bothered to help retire her crushing campaign debt. (So much for loyalty.) She would have brought no foreign policy experience with her. (Let's not forget the snipper fire mess.) No economic experience. (That was Bill back in the 1990's not Hill. Plus we see how badly she ran her campaign financially.)

So as long as Biden can reach White, Hard Working, Middle America voters, I think they can win this thing hands down...

"Obama/Biden 08"

MLH....yea McCain wasn't sure about how many houses he owns (not qualification to be president) But Obama can't even remember how many states there are in this country..He thinkgs there are 58...ummm basic facts that a presidential candidate should know.

Biden was a great pick! Strong pick! Great decision from our next president! I can't wait to see the cabinet he puts together. I hope we know before he wins the presidency. I will give the country an even more sense of pride and strength that things are about to change for the better.

Great pick Mr. President!

Obama/Biden 08

Sen. Obama has done what is best for him but not necessarily best for the Democratic presidential party. Choosing Hillary Clinton would have been what is best for this country and the " winning ticket". I now will vote Sen.
McCain and so will my friends!!!!!

Allright folks .. it is official !!
Mccain '08
HRC '12

For all the Hillary fans who support John McCain for no other reason but because they are angry that their candidate fell short.

1. If you vote for John McCain, and he wins, remember that when Hillary runs in 2012, the Obama fans are not going to run to your side. They will remember your anti-party unity and give you more of the same

2. If Barack chose Hillary, McCain would have more material to use from Hillary against Barack.

Wisen-up for the sake of our own dollar and economy. Your self-interest will hurt not only Hillary but the party and the country.

I'm a Canadian and have been watching these politics with great interest and humor. I can't believe what Clinton supporters are saying.....that they will vote for McCain because Obama didn't pick her as V.P. Are they nuts!! Also, do they not realize that the Republicans would have a field day if she had been chosen......all the negative "crap" she put out there when she was running against Obama. I don't blame him for not picking her...I wouldn't either!!

McCain is playing striaght out of Karl Roves play book.Well for those who can still remember,was it not McCain that fathered that "illegitimate child"?in the 2004 run .Did Geoge Bush not tell us that? well today have we not seen that MC cain going all about defending Bush ? well when Biden descends on his campaign, his antices and entire run will all but be over. McCain is yesterday news,stall and rooten like soiled machandise. wake up there is a level of this empety messages that Americans can take,be careful it is about to backfire.For when a man and his family owns 8 homes in an America where citizens now sleep in their cars and to make it worse cannnot seem to remember how many houses he owns we need to seriously consider what we expect from him as president.for a start he has a poor sense of geography,economy,security and technology.all he understands is war war war.i suggest Mc Cain go run North korea

Obama should have put Oprah on the ticket! Another voice of meaningless platitudes!

How juvenile is this man????? First, there's "I know, but I'm not tellin'!" Then there's "I'll text it to you." Is this a future POTUS, or a middle school student?

Well, that's it... McCain is our next president. That was easy...

Obama has built a coalition of upscale liberals, African Americans, Hispanics, and now he is appealing to hardworking downscale, hardworking, blue collar, gun toting, eucharist mystified Appalachians. Some folks in 'middle america' are sooo relieved that they can still vote for a ticket with an elderly white man with similar values and background. Let the games begin. Oh and PUMAs vote for anyone you want it will not matter. Check mate Beeaches!

You'll take McBush. You voted for Bush and now want to vote for McCain. Like a true republican.

McCain 08 for Hilary 12: Forget it. The GOP will make sure McCain chooses a VP who they would want to be president. If McCain wins, they will allow him to be President for perhaps a year then they will find a way to install the VP. If the Dems don't win this one, there will never be another Democrat in the White House. Better think twice before you vote for McCain.

David......Romney didn't criticize Mccain stating that he stood by his statement "that McCain is not ready to be president"....like Biden did Obama. It's ok to ciriticize candidates for difference of some opinions but when a candidate stands by his statment that another candidate is not ready to be president that is very different.

I’m not sure where your bias is when your first response to the consensus of the way that the Obama campaign released his choice is from a Hillary Clintonesk viewpoint. No matter how it was released someone was not going to be happy yet you took the response from a non-supporter of this campaign and air it? I am an experienced campaign worker for this campaign since Jan. and I’m proud to be a part of this ground breaking and innovative method of notification. I’m also a product of the fifties where you had to get out of your chair and change the channel but this time I just got out of my chair and just pushed the button to shut the set off. I’m also Catholic and where does it put all those who would prefer to vote for someone who isn’t?

Kevin J. Kennedy

Oh now we have good cop bad cop stratergerie!!!!

BIDEN DIDNT EVEN GET VOTES!!! SINCE CLITON IS NOT THE VP, I HAVE TO FULLFILL MY PROMISE AND VOTE MCCAIN TO TELL U THE TRUTH IF U BELIEVE ANY OF THOSE POLITICIANS YOUR STUPIDER THAN U LOOK!

You all can moan and groan about how the Republicans conduct their campaign. They will win in November. As long as the Democrats continue to pick left wing liberals, they will not win the Presidency.

Obama's hope and change message went down the tubes with his negative campaigning and pick Joe Biden. All of mess you all gave Hillary about being in Washington too long is coming back to haunt you because Joe Biden has been there over 25 years and he is also older than Hillary.

I am not voting for Obama/Biden at all, no matter what. I am still voting for Hillary in November.

John Mccain at least didn't take convicts money to buy a house like Nobama did. And instead of picking Hillary, he picks Biden who could not garner even 100 votes in the primary! A perfect losing ticket.
Hillary '12

So what if he did. Would you if competing for the office have stood on the platform and praised your opponent? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

Come on. Is that the best you can do? Taking snippets out of context, how original. Biden is an outstanding addition to Obama's ticket.

Obama-Biden '08

I hope McCain wins, so i can vote for Hillary in 2012

Well there goes any perceived advantage John McCain supporters thought he might have had on National Defence.

Biden actually fought in the Viet Nam war and didn't make propaganda films for the enemy. Both Biden and Obama know enough not to publicly try and humiliate other countries and their leaders then expect to have any chance at diplomacy.

The one clear fact is the many mean spirited comments McCain has made about other nations were childish and immature and anyone with the IQ of a house plant realizes this type of rhetoric does nothing for the image of the U.S.

Watch the polls now!!!!!!!!

Obama has given McBush a target by picking Biden however, our country is in shambles and we need a person who can think through tough times. The Saddleback chuch convention showed that McBush can capitalize on peoples emotions, but also showed that there was no thought to his answers just emotion. While Obama may lack some experience, Biden does not. Together with Obamas thoughtfulness and Bidens knowledge, our country may have a chance of undooing some of the devisation the last Bush left in his wake.

Watch the ad! In this ad Biden speaks the truth. Now that he's VP I doubt you'll see much of that anymore.

Biden would have been "honored" to run as McCains' VP back in 2005. That was before McCain forgot how many houses he owns, what kind of car he drives, whether or not he's for the draft, that he actually fought against the GI Bill legislation, and what he said about any particular issue from one day to the next. A lot can happen to a 72 year old man's mental status in 3 years.

McCain '08 for Hillary '12 if McCain win then the supremem court will be packed with right wingers. Even Hill won't be able to get any of it back. Also, when was the last time a candidate that lost the primary ever gottne the nod the next time around? You are playing a game of russian roulette.

McCain sure can find frivilous ways to spend his campaign money. If all the things that his republican opponents said about him comes out, he will whine, accuse Obama of going negative, and blame MSM for picking on a former POW.

Republicans should write in Ron Paul.

Hey "McCain for Hilary" you obviously don't care about Hilary otherwise you'd listen to her and vote for Obama. she even released a statement about how glad she is that he picked Biden.

Why wouldn't you listen to someone's judgement that you trust enough to elect for president?

Obama is just like Bush. No experience but has a soundbite. Bush picked Cheney, older, more experienced. So is Obama. Do you see the paralell?

If he is elected, he wil have cabinets filled with older people and he is going to just sit there, " so what do we do?"

Honestly Obama is going to turn Biden into a an idiot, jus like Cheney. with leash attached to his neck. Obama has a convincing mouth to do the job well. Impatient ,crafty little boy? He is a preacher and push-over.

Either way, Biden or not, My ticket goes to McCain and I hope other Democrats will do the same. I am do not belong to a party but I am quite liberal. I vote for the person who can do the job. I hope everyone start use your brains and LISTEN BEHIND THE WORDS. Politicians use words so carefully so we must listen and listen again.

So ask. why Obama? why McCain? think about the issues, and use your instincts. That is the only way we can help our country.

With Biden's foreign policy experience and his 35 years working in Washington,he will become Obama's mentor as well as the Vice-President.With Obama's intelligence he'll quickly become not only ready to be President,he'll become one of the best we've ever had!

After 8 years,Bush still hasn't learned how to speak English,let alone how to be President.McCain can't even count to 7 without help!He thinks that every time there is a problem the answer is war.He's still trying to atone for Vietnam no matter how much it costs in american lives,the economy or the American people.No health care,no jobs,losing their homes,the consequences don't matter to him.He's still trying to overcome his personal demons no matter how high a price the American people have to pay.

People of intelligence scare Republicans because they not only see how shallow and selfish Republicans are,they are unaffraid to discuss it which puts Republicans in the position of having to explain things that even THEY don't understand.

GET OVER YOURSELVES MCSHAMES

Big mistake. Obama is pretty much done. Should have picked Hillary.

I think Obamas' pick is very hypocrital of his campaign. For the past 2 years Obama has preached for a change and slammed most career politicians. Now he picks Biden, who's been in Washington for decades and a big part of the problem we have with our government.

Obama is a fraud and will say and do whatever it takes to get the job. I guess I'll stay home election day.

John August 23rd, 2008 9:25 am ET

"Flying Monkeys" hilarious!!! And your little dog,too.

Yeah, flying out her butt!!!

Guess you can't say too much about Sen. McCain age, now. You got Biden.

Hey, David enough about Sen. McCain and his wife. You weren't there and really don't know what went on with them. Rather have Cindy who does great thing to help people them Michelle who just now is proud to be American. And, don't forget John Edwards!!!!

I am positive the McCain campaign had audio/video or some type of communication on each of Obama's potential VP picks to blast or dis-credit them in any way.

The campaign should focus on what McCain can truly do to help America's current situation in the world. Focus on what will help Americans who are facing foreclosures, possible bankruptcy, unemployment, health care, gss prices and the economy as a whole.

Are people so shallow that they would rather vote for someone who is out of touch with our needs than a black man who has ordinary folks interest at heart?

And as far is Joe Biden, give me a man with -$300000 in the bank who takes the train to work everyday and he has got my respect than the fat cats in the senate flying high in corp jets.

I think its great that McCain ishowing these ads.. Is just allows Obama/Biden to show McCain's clip of.. "I don't know a thing about the ecomony" statements to the whole world...

Intelligence will prevail in this election this time. Ignorant voters in 2000 elected today's present circumstances, so when the electorate
learn that the majority of Americans aren't ignorant they will vote for change. The USA is not a people of ignorance, get wisdom, vote
for a better 2009 and beyond.

Barack Obama/Joseph Biden

Darn....I wanted Bill Clinton to be Veep

So many people don't get it, do they?

So we now know McCain is not going to pick Romney or ANY of the candidates who ran against him in the primaries.

What is funny to me is to see how many Democrats here whine about 'hardball tactics' and in the same comment they turn around and attack McCain.

I wonder if it ever dawned on Democrats that they don't REALLY hate 'politics as usual;' they just hate the fact that most of the time they LOSE at it. But keep in mind these are the same folks who still think John Kerry lost due to Swift Boats and not due to his inability to articulate a plan for either the economy or the Iraq war.

don't hold him back...Biden was an excellent pick...thats the vibe...Biden is a no fear move...Biden will work on the ground and the Obama campaign needs someone that will not only bring to the campign a long laundry list of Republican policy ala one on one experience from the hill, he can talk to the American people, Biden can bring that message the American people want to know...Americans want to know how we can economically survive in these times...Biden can also do the media circuit: Roof Roof – attack dog...Obama can exhale now...take a breath.

Be afraid senator mccain BIDEN WILL EAT YOU ALIVE !!!! better not pick romney remember old man he didnt have NICE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the first of many wise steps be Obama. Biden is wise and gives the Democratic Party a great pair to lead the nation in a positive direction. I now pray that the people of this great nation see these two men for who they can be and where they can take us.

Let's go!!!!!!!!!!
Obama-Biden 08'

To those who are disappointed about the text msg. It does not matter when you get the text message. It is the thought that counts. How many times in the past a candidate made an attempt to make the people a part of the process? If it weren't for CNN this would have been done as expected.

He is running a candidacy that is PEOPLE FIRST! He has proved this via community services, teaching, lecture, speeches, writing and now through campaigning. When you did you such a candidate before? Look at his deeds. If America gives this man a chance it will get so much in return that one can only imagine.

McCain is a hero. He sacrificed for his country as a POW. In return the country gave him love and profound gratitude. But when you say I was a POW and so the country has to return the favor by making me a president it is telling...There are many POWs like him. Wonder how many feel that the country has to return the favor by making them president.

Give me a break. This ad hardly shows Biden "slamming" Obama. They were opponents at the time. McCain should tread very lightly on this one. It will be pretty easy to find a clip of Republicans "slamming McCain – and you won't have to go back to the Primaries. Rush just threatened him the other day.

I am so excited about the Obama / Biden ticket. They complement each other very well. Talk about excitement. With Biden's history, everyone will be hanging on his every word, waiting to hear what he'll say. That's a good thing. I can't wait for the event this afternoon!

By the way – how this announcement was handled – the suspense, the text message – was absolutely BRILLIANT!! I was checking in all day yesterday and even had my alarm clock set for this morning.

I love it!!!

Obama / Biden 2008!!!!!

This is child's play next to what will be obvious should McCain feel he has to choose fellow multimillionaire Romney, with a wealth of anti-McCain diatribes on record...

None of the Obama supporters here is talking about what many of us know...........that Biden suffers from foot and mouth disease.
Means, many of you are too young to remember or know this.

I think it should Biden/Obama. Obama is the junior partner here.

I'm sure an experienced old school politician like Biden brought his tap dancing shoes so he can explain what he really meant by the statement last year that Obama was not yet ready to be President.

Maybe that was before Barack gained lots of experience by a year on the campaign trail instead of working in the Senate.

Maybe that was before Barack gained lots of experience in his 24 hour visit to Iraq this summer that Time called a "drive by"

Maybe that was before Barack gained the experience to askd Joe Biden to be the father figure VP.

So Biden was picked for his "experience". And Obama was picked for his .......... Oh well, if Obama ever has a tough descision to make at 2:00 AM what will HIS "experience" tell him to do? Call Biden of course !!!

Biden kind of looks like FDR except Biden doesn't have the kind of gusto needed.

McCain '08
Pelosi '12

I really think that if two reasonable people like Obama and McCain can't run campaigns that don't make you cringe that it's time to move to Europe. I'm really starting to detest how much America is starting to resemble "Hannity's America" more and more. Gross.

I find it very interesting that Obama would have Biden as his VP. Obama's clear statement is "Change, not the same old politics". Biden has been in Washington for 30 years, he also voted for the war in Iraq. This does not solve Obama problem with having little knowledge concerning the economy. I think it was a poor choice on Obama'a part to bring in the same old politician. This is not change.

HA ha ha. This is all falling into our laps!

NOBAMA 08

So these ads are supposed to convince us to vote for another 4 years of Bush???? We could run clips on McSame... " I voted against the Bush policies.....before I voted for the Bush policies."

So what happened to he wanted to change DC? Why didn't he pick a govenor???????????? He's the same as the rest of them.

I just saw the new ad from the John McCain camp; well, if McCain wins he can go out with a victory yell....."We won!! We were better at throwing s....., than the other guy!!! Hip, Hip, Hooray!!
Maybe during the conventions we can hear some real talk, real forward looking visions with answers to real problems from both camps. I am weary from all the 'got ya' rhetoric from both sides. I keep telling myself, the end is around the corner.

This was a very wise decision for Obama.
Senator Biden has much wisdom that was gained through much suffering including in 1972 his first wife and child dying in a car accident shortly after entering polotics; in 1988 suffering an aneurysm that nearly killed him; a grandfather who was a Penss. State Senator, and he himself as a Senate Foreign Relations Comiittee Chairman.
His slam of Obama in the past was as EVERYONE was just getting to know Obama and Sen. Biden's argument is we needed someone with 'wisdom' not a 'war hero' with a poor projection record. We all know over the last six months Obama has shown that wisdom, and humility. Welcom Sen. Biden!! Welcome!

McCain is ready to ber president of the VFW, maybe, but his own days of Presidential readiness has come and gone. A sad husk of the man he once was, reduced to a snide little gnome taking potshots at his betters.

Nice to see big Obama picks a white look alike act alike but opposite of Mr McCain.. I wonder if our Demo team from Illinois -Delaware which emulates One of the greatest presidents of all time Mr Abraham Lincoln, will advocate the removal of all blacks from America? This was stated presidential goal of Lincoln in his attempts to keep union whole.

Biden is a great choice films of him stating Obama no presidential material from 8/2007 and full support of Mr MCain.

I will enjoy watching this Democratic fruitcake collapse as Fall progresses.

The Obama/ Biden Ticket Is A Door Mat You Can Wipe Your Feet On !!!! . This Ex Democrat Is Voting For Sen. John McCain President 2008 . No Obama !!!!!

President John McCain 2008

I agree with all here–Biden was running against him. People say negative stuff about their opponents during a campaign. none of it is unrecoverable. Besides, Biden does have a tendency to put his foot in his mouth. Obama is the candidate, not Biden, but Biden is a huge complement to O–he has experience in Washington and foreign policty to complement Obama's economic and civic work and constitutional law knowledge, as well as his overriding new vision. I think it is a fabulous choice and am SO excited for NOvember!

Obama/Biden '08

This ticket is upside down. in order of qualificaitons, It should be Biden/Obama. Junior has a lot to learn and he admitted it by choosing Joe.

Biden would have been 'honored' to run against what McCain perhaps once was, or managed to convince the MSM he was. Remember, maverick, reasonable guy, rational politics? he's not that guy. Not that Biden isn't still honored to hammer a good number of nails in McCain's political coffin.

Ho hum, McCain. Get a grip - every candidate - including you - slams their opponent to one degree or another during a campaign. Picking on the new kid's newness was easy and everybody did it. Biden is a smart man - if he didn't feel Obama was presidential material, he has NO reason to agree to be on the ticket. Why spoil his great senate record, otherwise?

Biden's scrappy nature, as shown in countless hearings, is just what this campaign and all democrats need to strike back at GOP attacks.

Go get 'em, Joe! and welcome aboard.

GREAT CHOICE!

Is anyone surprised that McCain came out with this. Can you say panicmania for the McCain camp. McCain continues to attack rather than state his own position. Reminds me of what Kerry did in 2004. Nobody cares about what you say about your opponet, we care about what YOU are going to do. McCain, instead of you coming up with attack adds, start writing your concession speech.

Is that it? He better do better then that....

OH Boy!!?? – First, the statement still stands.
Second, McCain is not an idiot. Have you ever listened to Biden the Arrogant?
Third, Biden is NO match for McCain.
Last, This campaign will now focus on Biden because Obama can't take the heat. The dems have this backwards, as usual; wouldn't it make sense to have the'm reverse roles? Too late.
McCain 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on CNN post some for McCain, too.

Biden was absolutely correct when he said that Obama wasn't ready to become the President. It was a slap in the face to Hillary and her supporters. I'm so glad Bill never campaign for him.

Hillary 08!

Well said Joe ! That makes two out of the last three Democratic VP nominees endorsing McCain for President. McCain does not seek the endorrsement of the lying adulterer though (John Edwards, not Bill Clinton).

Obama, Obama>>...what a shame....???? you said that you are a change agent..and you use this slogan as a key proponent during your debate....you are just like every politician who would do whatever it takes just to get elected in office.....you said that you were against the war...but still you have chosen a runningmate that support it. you knew you have no experience...to carry this country forward...so you have to turn again to the washington insider to carry on the same old policies.....Like George Bush, you don't know a thing and you will rely on Biden to make your decision.....Obama and Biden is the same as Bush and Chinney......

Very effective ad.

The Presidency is no place for on the job training. Hard to dispute that.

This is what I love about the Obama camp. He is brave enough to pick someone that may have different opinions than him. Choosing someone that will only support you and agrees with you all the time, it is a sign of weakness. This is what the republicans have been doing for the past 8 years. Only listening to the people that agree with them. We are a smart nation and we can take criticism. So can the candidates. Personally, that is what I look for. One cannot stick their head in the sand and avoid comments and ways to grow...

Obama/Biden 2008

Of course they will.... they will now get desperate. God knows how many people had slammed Senator McCain in a much worse way and are now his ardent supporters.

1st, Obama's selection of Biden affirms most that he realized he needed experience (that he doesn't have), and 2nd, Biden is not Clinton! Obama didn't have alot to pick from, so the end result is another losing ticket for the democrats.

time to slam back guys. america likes a fighter not a politicaly correct wimp. the bushies hammered mcain in 2000. let's see some of those ads............ if you don't hammer back i will personally see that the people in my area vote the other way......................

*yawn*

It doesn't matter what the Republicans do, we will out spend them bussing people from churches to vote and our message will drown out them. We just keep saying McCain is bad and the surge isn't wokring and we'll get the votes... it doesn't matter if it's true or not, once BO is in office he will make real change!

"There you go again!" Remember that remark from a great American President? Was there really any doubt? The superficial B.O. knows he is in trouble and whinced at the comments from Biden at their last debate. "He ain't ready", its what Biden said and what all the other Dem candidates said as well!So what's changed? Nothing except now its" he ain't it!". So B.O. good luck to your O.B. ticket. Still the fact remains that the White House ain't no place to be learning how to ride a bike with training wheels on. No matter who you pick as a coach!

This ad will not be effective...It is obvious if Biden has become the VP his thoughts have change after all Obama has proved himself over and over again. No one will listen or see this ad as carrying any weight.

... and Joe will slam Obama on the job as well.

Obama has shown he won't just surround himself with "yes men"

There is going to be real discussion, and not just groupthink.

That's Leadership

what else can you expect from MCWar
he is far from being the maverick he use to be… just a low down republican who uses rovian style tactics now
everyone knows its a whole different scene in the primaries and your out for your own agenda and will say anything
Americans are not falling for these tactics any longer!!
hes so pathetic that he could not be man enough to come out and say something positive about the ticket!!
It makes Obamas campaign much stronger now and Biden is not an elitist either like the *multi* millionaire McWar who is SO rich he doesnt even know how many houses he owns or that could be too bc he is bordering on dementia-

For all you Clinton supporters whining about how she wasn`t picked as Obama`s VP, please grow up! You say you will vote for McCain `cos Clinton wasn`t picked.. How incredibly foolish. McCain and the Dems position is as different as chalk and cheese. Does it make any sense to you to pick a candidate who doesn`t represent your position just b`cos your choice didn`t win. Talk about cutting your nose to spite your face! Take your emotions out of it and THINK! or is it really because Obama is of the minority. If Obama had been white, it would have been a slam dunk would it not. There I said it... Remove fear and getting into the game!

CNN POST THIS!

VP choice is the better president option on this ticket!!

Biden is one of us. He understands the struggles that the average american faces. He's not an elitistand he knows how many properties he owns. My interpretation of Obama being clean means that he has no skeletons in his closet. No moral issues!
He has said nothing that will compare to what some of the other haters have written and Republican strategist have said.

and just wait till McCain chooses one of the republican contenders who criticizing him. Then we'll see Mr. Noun, Verb, and POW. or should I say noun verb and Obama since mccain can't seem to complete a sentence without that guy's name.

HA HA HA..........this is funny mccain camp please think very carefully when chosing your VP... McShame camp is scared very scared

I guess Biden thought the country would be better off with McCain rather than the incompetent George Bush, had he been elected in 2000 instead. Can't wait to see the Dems ad on the very slimy Romney after he's chosen and also the VP debate.

more money wasted and further obsession on Obama because McPhony has no solutions of his own to promote. I think McPhony has a crush on Obama

i like biden, but i think he was the wrong choice for obama. for a person that puts himself out to be the AGENT of CHANGE, this is far from it. he not only shows that he needs help to govern, but now he is a hypocrit. how can you be for change and then side with the side that you think is broken. he should have picked someone younger and fresh and new but that would have had a down side also. i think he will make a good attack dog for obama, but i think obama is trying to show that now he controlls whitey now. hmmm i could be wrong guess we'll have to see how it pans out. either way i still won't vote for obama. i think in a way it may cause him some headaches in the long run. good luck OBAMA, man are you ever gonna need it.

I wish CNN would stop using the work 'slam' in headlines. It has an evaluative quality- suggesting an effective, certain, or powerful criticism.

A slam is the surest shot in basketball. A grand slam. slam the door shut. Criticize or attack are much, much better. Again, slam suggests a truth behind or effectiveness to the attack.

Ummm......So? Mitt Romney wasn't exactly McCain's champion until after he dropped out of the race. Thats politics. What a waste of money.

If John McCain and George Bush can get past their Republican primary dark moments which occured eight years ago, I dont see why Biden's statement should matter today.
Obamba said clearly that he's looking for a running mate who will not hesitate to challenge him as commander-in-chief, tell him when he is wrong on issues. Picking Baden proves that point.

At least he did not pick Joe Liberman.

I think Hillary's supporter should vote for McCain to be 4 years president, and wait for Hillary's come back in 2012.

On the attack already? Don't blame the elitist McCain/Romney ticket. Be afraid, be very afraid

What comes to mind when one mentions Panamanian McCain?

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (unresolved).

People this fraud, McCain, is dangerous, very dangerous for America!

Duh, it was a debate McFool!!...I hope when McWarMonger picks Mittens, he can explain all the negative back and forth they had and wouldn't mind seeing it in ads.

Of course the rethugs are scrambling to show anything they can to dilute the great choice Sen. Obama has made – they're running scared and it's hysterical – rethugs take pride in ignorance. Who cares what Biden said when he was running against Obama for nomination or if he neglected to give credit to someone else's words over 20 years ago!!!! McLiar's got more stuff in his closet that has yet to come out and I'm positive so does whoever he picks as a running mate. It's great to see the rethugs so desperate, but not this time boys – It's the dems this time.

Man that is AWESOME!!!!! They just need to play that ad over and over and over again. In your face Biden!!!!!

Obama is a joke and is going to get crushed in November. Too bad he never selected Hillary. You know one thing about Hillary is that she never personally slammed Obama the way Biden did. PUMAs are gonna be hooooot!

That means McCain you would be left picking no body because everyone even your own right wing losers say you are no good.

Obama will never win the White house now.

Biden might have meant, or might have gone on to say, that “the country would be better off" than it is right now under the Bush administration. This latest ad is simply another dismal reflection of just how desperate McCain is. Biden is a wonderful choice for VP. I liked him from the very beginning. He did an excellent job during the debates. Great personal history, well-seasoned and politically savvy, but an independent thinker. Look out McCain/Romney ... or Lieberman, worse yet! Please. These vultures had better be ready to take what they dish out by the truckload. There's always plenty of unflattering news video to go around.

MsCrazy is not wasting time

Wow! That was fast. Kind of like when McCain changed his mind and supported Bush's candidacy after he won the election although he criticized Bush when he was running against him. It doesn't mean much McCain. Nice try though.

Poor choice on behalf of Obama ... Biden is not change and he voted for the war before he voted against the war.

However, I'll take Biden and Obama any day over the man who continues to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bush Inc.

CNN, What's your purpose of this? Who the heck cares, this is how politicians play politics.

Al this is about is dividing and conquering on the part of the republicans.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least he didn't throw the kitchen sink at him. McSame is just jealous that he has someone on his ticket that will show up his inexperience on foreign policy. McSame is a fake and Biden will prove it!

Wow! Errrr...., change?? Wow!

Neither surprising nor interesting. The same will be provided by the Democrats once McCain chooses his running mate.

GO JOHN

BIG MAC ATTACK!!!!! YES!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Hit Bam Bam where it hurts – (kinda hard to hit an empty suit, though....)

You have my vote in November Big Mac

Understand why

The ONLY reason is so that I can vote for Hillary in 2012

I never thought I'd vote for a Republican, but this time I will

I'll take experience over rhetoric and celebrity-worship AND RACE-CARD PLAYING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First,
Obama was his competition when the statement was made.
Second,
3 years ago, McCain was not in the spotlight for being the idiot he is today. It's called being nice.
Third,
We'll see how nice Biden is when he breaks McPOWPOW's team down.
Last,
The country will be better off after Biden is done running against, and winning, the election.

So what? Biden was competing for the chance to be president of America with the other democratic running mates. He had to show the voters that he was the better choice. Only a fool runs a race to loose. But still, what he said back then is history and still does not change the price of milk, the unnecessary war in Iraq, many going homeless due to the housing crisis, and the pure mental stress we are going through. The economy is in shambles and we need Obama and Biden to save us from futher destruction. They can sail the American ship through the rough seas.

The McBush campaign should be carefull here. Mit Romeny has said a lot more worst things about McCain than Biden on Obama.

I think Biden might have meant, or might have gone on to say, that “the country would be better off" than it is right now under the Bush administration. This latest ad is simply another dismal reflection of just how desperate McCain is. Biden is a wonderful choice for VP. I liked him from the very beginning. He did an excellent job during the debates. Great personal history, well-seasoned and politically saavy, but an independent thinker. Look out McCain/Romney ... or Lieberman, worse yet! Please. These vultures had better be ready to take what they dish out by the truckload. There's always plenty of unflattering news video to go around.

Bring it, Senator McCain. At least these two know how many houses they own, and what 'rich' means to the rest of the country. And why would you think it was a bad thing that he was complimentary of you? You were running against George Bush. Honestly, the country would have been far better off if one of you had won.

He said "He's not ready,but he CAN be" -

What's wrong with that? It's better than what we can say about McCain now – He USED TO BE, but he no longer is – dementia is setting in with McCain.

I'll take Obama/Biden any day over the warmonger and whomever he picks.

Hey Hillary fans:

Imagine what they would have been able to put out if Hillary had been tapped as Obama's VP pick. They've got all of 30 seconds for Biden, they could do a 3 hours documentary on the negative crap Hillary and her flying monkeys said about Obama.

Run the ad of what Mitt Romney said about "Exxon John"...McCain owns 7 houses and Mitt is worth 200 MILLION ... and they want to give the VOTERS a 18cents gas tax holiday.

We expected mean-spirited tactics from the Republicans and we're getting them.
But everyone understands that rivals in primary campaigns say tough things against their opponent. Watch out, McCain!

Well I guess that means McCain won't pick Romney, since Romney criticized McCain several times during that campaign.

McCain's approval of the use of old footage as implicit evidence of current hypocrisy means he should be just fine with the Obama camp showing all those old photos of McCain hugging Bush, Bush kissing McCain, etc., etc., etc.

And maybe some photos of McCain and the wife he swore to love, honor, and respect before he dumped her for the rich beer woman?

Interesting.

I'm not for sure but back in 2005 was Obama even named as a potential candidate??? Bet not so this ad and all the others the Repukeakans come out with will be misleading slime like usual.

McCain should not have set this standard. Just wait until he picks Mitt Romney.

Good balance to this ticket.

NoBama. No. Now I will have to vote for John McCain, or write in Hillary Clintons name. Once again, the Democrats have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Obama is not qualified to be the President, had barely gotten his feet wet on the Senate floor to gain experience and had the audacity to seek the highest office in the land. Now he has someone else's accomplishments to shore up his own failings. Just like he lifted Deval Patrick's speech as his own, this guy is nothing but a fraud. Oh, by the way, Joe Biden got caught doing the same thing. What a joke.

Hey CNN,
After McCain makes his VP pick, I hope that you will give Obama the same free advertisement that you're giving McCain right now.

I think that Biden is an outstanding pick for the Democrats. If they make it, these two will bring common sense back to the White House. The republicians have really put us in bad shape over these last eight years – in many ways. I've historically voted Republican and Democrat. However, after what we have experienced over the past eight years, I will NOT vote for ANY Republician for the foreseeable future.

This just shows that the McCain campaign has nothing positive to say in this race. Where is their plan to end the war in Iraq? Where is their plan to turn this economy around? Where is their plan to restore America's reputation around the world. I guess it is hard to have a plan when you have endorsed all of the policies of the Bush Administration which got us into this mess.

Just remember, what comes around goes around. There were lots of statements made by former GOP rivals in the primaries that could make for good television commercials too.

Ouch, why would Howard Dean hand pick Biden for this ticket... the guy from Virginia and Indiana seemed great... not this loser who adds nothing to the ticket.... the real question is what does Biden know?

A new GOP AD shows Biden criticizing Obama.**McAttack You are leaning toward Mitt there was a lot of Negative exchanges Between you 2 GUYS**OLD HOG JAW!!!

Huge mistake.

Biden has WAY to much baggage and way to many things that the GOP can hit him on.

That ad that McCain's camp just put out... ya, we can all look forward to that sort of thing til November.

Lol can't wait for this old geezer to pick mitt so that we can show the debates they had in the primary season.

You can run this add with anyone who was a presidential candidate, be it biden or hillary or anyone else.

so does this mean McCain won't pick Romney?

Desperate times call for irrelevant campaign ads, eh Senator McMansions?

So now is he going to flip-flop and say Obama is ready ? These democrats make such fools of themselves and their party; We're in big trouble if they end up in the White House.

Fantastic.. it will be interesting to see if McCain picks Romney to run with him... because it's not like Romney never said anything "bad" about him during their primary, right?

The speed in which this ad came out just shows that no matter who Obama would have picked, McCain would have something negative ready to go.

At least this one doesn't involve Brit or Paris... so i suppose this should be viewed as an improvement, right?

Maybe McCain can focus on a couple of ads that actually talk about his stance on the issues. It might be difficult, but he should give it a shot.

I think Obama's choice for V.P is a fine choice and McCain is relying on old political strategies to get the American people to waver on their choice. If McCain really wanted to get people to think, he would rise above these types of adds and show that his V.P. choice is better and more qualified. But since he has not taken that path he is showing weakness and showing that nothing will change when he is in office. And using an interview from 2005? McCain is really pulling at strings on this one. It just shows that they really have nothing better to do than search old video footage instead of being out on the campaign trail informing the people about the issues that concern them.

All that comes to mind is that little sign the reads "Insert foot here" underneath a face with an open mouth.... : /

Yep, it's clear when McCain is all negative all the time, he has nothing good to say about himself.

People forget that when you are running for the same job-you ten to say things that you don't mean. Once the battle is over you forget all of that stuff–join hands and move on. This is a good pick and will get my vote.

I am all for Joe Biden being on the ticket with Obama. He is known as the poorest senator, who will relate better to the average american who knows how many homes they own?? At least Joe Biden is in touch with the times. I am sure when you ask Senator Biden a question he will not give you a stump speech reply, or a 40 year old war story like John McCain does all the time. Great choice Obama. Now if we can only get the Clinton followers to grow up, and accept reality we might just win the white house in November, and start repairing our reputation, and economy.

Go Obama/Biden 08.

Why GOP good in General election ? because Democratic party gave the victory to GOP in silver spoon
We thought GOP technique wont work in 2008 but now we lost the hope
Obama has Changed from March 2008
Hillary 2012 / Mc Cain 2008

Please, this is too easy. All Biden has too do is talk about the difference between the McCain of 2000, and today's McCain who has turned to lobbyists and Karl Rove operatives to run his campaign. It's a chance to talk about something that everyone in the media seems to want to ignore; who the real John McCain of 2008 really is, and why. And John McCain himself has just teed it up for Biden. They're being outmaneuvered by Obama, they just don't realize it yet.

Rev. Wright, Joe Biden? Another bad judgement call on Obama's part. I was having a hard time throwing my support behind him and this just makes it official, I cannot give my support to Obama and will now throw my vote away on the spoiler of the Presidential race, Ralph Nader.

I would have even supported a Obama-Clinton ticket with no problem and I have nothing but respect for Biden but as far as a judgement call, its a bad one in my opinion. Delaware is a wonderful state I'm sure but what exactly does Biden bring to the campaign? At least Hillary would have brought 18 million voters and two states one from the south and of course New York. I cannot fathom another 4 years of Bush policies under John McCain which is exactly what you'll get with this decision...sad!!

Isn't Biden the one that made a racist remark early in the primaries? Something about Obama being "clean and articulate for an African-American"? Saying that on top of saying "Obama is not fit to be president" is probably why Obama chose him. Obama was trying to get one more vote! Ha!

So much for "change we can believe in" when Obama picks a career politician who has been a Washington insider for years and years (kind of like how Bush picked Cheney, and we all know how that ended up). Biden hardly got any votes during the primaries, and if the voters had wanted him to be on the ticket, I think he would have had a better response.

Actually, I'm kind of relieved that Obama did not pick Hillary. I do not like Obama but I do think Hillary would have made a good president. That would have put me in a voting dilema, but now I can vote for McCain with a clear choice.

The GOP ad is ineffective. This is the kind of choice Obama needed to make. Obama/Biden all the way to the Whitehouse. McCain you lose!!!!!

What will the bots do now about their "age" remarks? Biden looks and acts much older than McCain! And–he is sarcastic and caustic rather than humorous! Nothing like having a VP who will cover your back and wipe your nose!

That was quick. And now he's going to call up Biden and congratulate him?

Once again, Republicans (as adjusted by Karl Rove) are showing what they now stand for – disdain, divisiveness, fear, conflict, aggressiveness, feelings of having been victimized, win at all costs. Basically, riding that horse known as hate.

By November, Obama by 15 points. Americans are better than all that.

I'm from Illinois and I'm going to tell you all this again....Abe Lincoln was a first term Senator when he ran for President......geez, look what kind of President he became and to the history he was told the same thing that some are saying about Obama.....

How much experience did George have??? NONE... How much difference is it if you are Govenor or a Senator???

Of course Biden criticized Obama during his run for president-that's what they all did! Once McCain reveals his running mate, I'm sure Obama could do the same with his VP pick. The point is, Biden is putting aside any criticisms for the good of the party.

Unfortunately this a very good ad. Obama you picked the wrong VP to try and win this election.

I thank the Republicans for that ad. It clearly shows that Obama knows how to answer criticism. Obama has fixed the inexperience issue.

Let the game begin. nice choice . He will help cut up Mccain.

Obama..............08

Thanks for helping the GOP finish securing four more years with your pick now well just wait for Romney to come on board and Dems will cry again as usual.

So, Congratulations to John McCain

Just once, I would like to see McCain run an ad about something good or positive that he's done. What a sad, bitter, hateful old man.

Big deal. One can find this kind of footage of Bush Sr. tearing apart Reagan before Bush became his V.P. One will certainly find these kinds of statements from whomever McCain chooses for his V.P.

Really? No democrat did this research? Epic fail.

Good, good choice. Congratulations to President Obama and Vp Biden. Hillary Clinton said the same things about Obama. These are just words. The candidates wanted to win so of course they are going dish out dirt against their opponents. None of them can boast experience as a fact none of them as ever been president. They may have acquire more knowledge of a topic but not until you are actually doing the job before you gain that experience. Good sound judgement and the ability to Listen and Lead is what it take. Obama is surrounding himself with the best. They will win. Democrates let's unite and get the job done. "The republican will try to discredit everyone. John McCain and his party had 8 years and they have destroyed the country. We need change and this is time. " YES WE CAN"

McCain has really turned the campaign into one of the most negative campaigns in recent history. Hey, before you stupid McSame supporters say Obama is negative also....you are correct. However, McCain went negative a long time before Obama did.

me likey! Let's hear all the lib fools talk about the "republican spin machine." Did we put words into his mouth? Didn't think so, now shove some organic granola into your whine hole.

IS THIS IT McSAME?? This will be diffused with one sentence in a well written speech. Sorry Right Wing, your gonna have to do way better than that if you want to take the onus of attack from the Dems.

ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!! Its working, the Right is on full defensive mode, as they cant take the HOUSING heat!!! AHA!!

OBAMA 08!!

...and let's just hope that McWar doesn't pick a former opponent in any of the primaries that he has run in as his Veep...I am sure there will be plenty of ammo for return volleys there. Wait a minute, what am I saying? Let's hope McBush does pick a former opponent from past primaries.

Obama/Biden '08~Real change AND experience we can believe in~

In comments in a lot of these blogs, everyone is saying what an attack dog Biden is, and how he will chew up McCain and spit him out, and how McCain now doesn't have a chance when bulldog Biden gets hold of him, etc. To be frank, I really didn't see any of this brilliant comeback stuff when I saw Biden in the primaries, (until he got no votes and dropped out). And he did make several critical comments about Obama's lack of experience, as well as some racist comments. That all said, I DON'T think Biden was the right choice. I think Obama's only chance was Hillary.
Being a lifelong Democrat, who has voted in every election since Kennedy, I am now going for McCain–not to spite anyone, but because I think he will be the best president of the two.
I don't guess there is any chance that the super delegates might get enough common sense to vote Hillary in at the convention next week?? That would be the very best thing that could happen in this mixed up US election. We are in a mess, and Hillary and Bill would be best able to start getting us out of it. HILLARY–either 2008 or '12!!!!

He spoke the truth, Obama is NOT ready. It is a complete joke. What hype will get you these days................

Obama just answered any criticism of him that Biden may have made during the primaries. With Biden on the ticket, Obama adds whatever qualities Biden may have thought he lacked. I will thank the Republicans if they want to display that fact in ads.

I guess McCain petty petty will not allow him to pick Romney.

ads like this will not work

If John picks Romney, it will backfire.

Obama/Biden 08,12, Kansas Gov. 16

These comparisons will be nothing like the way McSame/Romney ripped each other in the primes.

THAT SAYS IT ALL.
HILLARY PLEASE DO NOT CAMPAIGN FOR OBAMA< DON'T GO DOWN WITH A SINKING SHOP.

Bumper sticker across the land:

Got my Bo-Joe working in '08

Go Bo-Joe

Now you know why Joe took that "all of a sudden" trip over seas last week.

Just like Hillary did because neither one thought he was qualified to be POTUS. Unless they were lying then or they are lying now. Either way it is shameful.

He was running against him! Wait until you are reminded of what negative things Mitt Romney said about McCain in the past.

Joe knows he's not ready.. . McCain 08
