Stop being haters....voting for john mccain is like voting for 4 more years of bush and hillary didn't want the vp nom anyways she wanted to be number 1 or nothing @ all

She know that with her it a field day for the puma too mush Q&A about Bill and the money has after leaving the white house,Mcfools camp will let go or the fact.Joe will the best man for the job.

What do I think about the design / timing of the unveiling of the VP? I think it couldn't have been more brilliantly orchestrated–in keeping with democratic principles, too.
Remember that 3 a.m. call? It came, but not at the White House. And, not for the President. Here is the irony: As much of a tease as it was, the unveiling was designed to put the power to the people again. AMERICA got the 3 a.m. call. We were so stunned because we haven't seen anything resembling democratic leadership in about ...... eight years. (As an educator, struggling to work under the NCLB mandates since 2001, walking through the last two Presidential terms has been a slow and frightening walk with the four horsemen.)
I like to think that in some small way, I answered this administration's first 3 a.m. phone call - the one that brought one of MY "Jane Democrat" civic responsibilities to the apron of the great proscenium on Monday. Our 3 a.m. call signaled the moment that all people in favor of a FUTURE put animosities and egos aside and get this democracy back in motion again.
POWER to the people.

I am a woman who thinks highly of Hillary Clinton and admires her achievements. She has broken barriers and changed the role of gender in U.S. politics. She would have perfomed well in the White House, but as president, not as veep. I'm looking to 2016 for an unbeatable Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton wants to steer her own ship, and will continue to break barriers. I am glad that she will do this under the Clinton flag. And we will no doubt see the Clinton flag unfurled at the 2008 Democratic Convention. Let's honor Hillary's 2008 race, pledge to support her in the future, and elect Obama-Biden in the fall. By supporting Obama-Biden and becoming a Democratic Party powerhouse in her own right, Hillary and her 18 million supporters will burnish her reputation and position her for many more great things, including leadership of the Senate AND the presidency.

Let's give Obama-Biden our support, while continuing to honor Hillary Clinton and the 18 million who supported her. Hillary for President , 2016!

I can't belive there are still HRC people out there saying the won't vote for Obama. There was a primary people, and she lost ! She fought the good fight and was defeated by a person who has a different vision of America. A vision that most democrats were in favor of.
It's your choice to vote for McCain, yep, 4 more years of what we have experenced for the last 8 years.. Your either democrats or your not.
If you don't stop this nonsence soon you will give Mac the white house.

Anonymous, Roe is against Roe now anonymous. You can't have a country that prides itself of the protection of individual freedom except when it is convenient not to.

C'mon, let's be realistic: even though HRC was probably the best veep choice, to have two minorities on one ticket would be a recipe for disaster. This way, the dems actually have a shot at swing voters. Sebellius was obviously not going to get picked, she just had the potential to carry Kansas, so Hillary is the first woman in line for a prominent role in Obama's cabinet. I wouldn't be suprised if Hillary doesn't get a cabinet role, but still, she will for certain be the president in 2016, so for now, HRC supporters, let's get Obama in the White House; I really don't think we need another four years of Bush.

Dear Hillary Supporters: If Hillary had won the election, then I hope she would have had the right to pick whomever she wanted to for VP. At this point, none of us have been privy to the conversations between Obama and the Clintons, but I am confident Hillary will get a significant position in the new administration which will not only highlight her strengths but help heal her candidancy for a future shot at president. Please remember that Obama has been very gracious in trying to work with the Clintons to ensure they have a respectful place at the convention. Let's give him his due and recognize the efforts he has made. Moreover, let's not forget that this election is not about obama or clinton, it's about the future of country. If you step back and look at things from that perspective, then you will see that mccain will be a disaster not only for women and our country but for our children. Let's stand up and take back our country from the Republicans, and special interests groups!

To the PUMAs –

I understand your disappointment in Senator Clinton not getting the nomination (and yes I voted for her). What I do not understand is the lack of common sense.

Voting for McCain is a vote for our troops staying longer in Iraq and Afghanistan, the possibility of another war with Iran which brings with it the very real possibility of the Draft being reinstated (it does not take a military analyst to realize that our troops are spread thin), a greater tax burden being placed on people who are already over taxed, more tax breaks for the wealthy and corporate America (who already have ridiculous tax breaks – think oil companies) a reversal of the reproductive rights (abortion and birth control) that women now have, etc.

I just have one question – are you going to accept the responsibility that goes alone with your vote?

I do not see how you Obamanuts can be so happy about Lugers congratulaing Biden . You know he is Just an old white Crinkled man like McCain. Isn't that what you left wingers are always saying. Shoot according to you people he should be senile. I don't get you liberals. What a great talent you people must posses to tell the difference between one old white crinkled man than the other. AMAZING.

I am a woman and I support Obama/Biden. I am happy Obama picked Biden. I would not have been happy if he picked Clinton. Just because she was second in the primaries does not mean she should have been VP. I think if he picked Clinton the Republicans would have had more than enough fuel to attack and win. With Biden, Obama forces his critics to calm down on his experience on foreign policy. And for all those women out there who are now saying they will vote for McCain then you can kiss your rights good bye! A McCain presidency will erode women's rights, African American rights, and so on. If that happens then I am going to hold you Hillary Supporters responsible because you sold out the party! We need to take back our country and get us back on track. 4 years of McCain is for more years of Bush policy. I hope you Hillary supporters can live with that when you make that choice.

Great job! This is the combination we need for this great country. We now have the total package to win in November.

Wow, I have to wonder about people who say "No Hillary, I'm voting McCain"!

Are you really Hillary supporters or are you just pretending and trying to stir up the pot? The differences between John "more of the same" McCain and Barack Obama couldn't more startling. Obama proposes moving away from the republicans' idea of reward the rich and maybe the trickles will help everyone else. The last 30 years couldn't make it more obvious what studies have shown, that the economy, businesses, and all citizens do much better and even are generally happier under Democratic administrations than with republicans in charge.
Wars, spying on it's own citizens, unwarranted arrests, indefinite detention, polarization of all political discussions, etc, etc., are all the result of what George Jr has brought us. Now John McCain wants to continue and, in some cases, go further than Bush with those same policies.
It is time America regained its top position in the world, financially, influentially, and morally. How can that happen when we refuse to acknowledge that the rest of the world does exist and needs to be a partner in so many dire issues we all face.
John Sidney McCain wants to continue fighting the VietNam war as a solution for all that ails us. And as far as experience, someone please explain to me what experience he has and how it is relevant. I am curious to know, because from where I sit, his experience has not given him any way to actually use it for the good of this nation

I am glad that Hillary Clinton praised Barack for his VP choice. God has GREAT things planned for her future. She is a great women and I am thankful for her kind words. Now, I want to vote for Barack/Biden and use my engery to hold them accountable for working for the people of the United States of America.

She is just playing the game. Do you really hear any enthusisasm in her voice. She knows she was screwed over and the election was taken from her. She is just going thru the moves. Do you believe she should give a crap. I don't.

I am a woman and I hope the PUMA women get over it soon!

OBAMA-BIDEN '08

As an Obama supporter, all I can say to those bitter Hillary backers is that if the roles were reversed, I'd be voting for her. Because we Democrats must win. Win to end the war, restore the economy, bring fairness back to the tax code, find a viable solution for healthcare for all, and restore the image of America with the rest of the world. You can't honestly tell me you think McCain/Romney will do a better job of that than Obama/Biden. Think of your kids, think of your grandkids, I know I do, every night, and I believe Barack and Joe do too. C'mon people, enough ranting, let's turn our anger where it really deserves to be directed – at this administration, at the party that wants four more years of the same, BEAT MCAIN!

Americans are sour losers!!!

I was a HUGE Hillary booster. Time to clam up and support the ticket. Hillary is on board, and so should all of her supporters. Let's move on and get to work! Obama/Biden!

puma people you need to grow up. because if Obama fail it will be people like you fault. and when Hillary trys her bid at the presidency guest what she would be blame and her supports andHillary would lose the support from majority of black america and 18 million Obama supports. there is no way the Clintons can win without the Black vote. So dont hate the player hate the game. Obama /Biden 08 .

It's time fo ryou Clinton supporters (if that's what you really are) to stop acting like whiny, spoiled, immature ignorant sore losers and get with it. If you want to reinstitute the draft, lose your job, end up paying $12 per gallon for gas and put the U.S. in an eight year depression, by all means continue with your temper tantrum and vote for McCain but whatever you choose to do on election day, please just shut up and stop screaming and hollering already. Hillary Clinton will not be i the White House again for a long long time (hopefully never again) and you PMSing idiots better get used to it. It doesn't matter of course because Obama will be president whether you insecure bigoted wingnuts trying to disguise yourself as Hillary supporters like it or not. Please pick up your marbles and take your stupid, childish behinds home already.

Has anyone considered that maybe Hillary doesn't want to be VP? Maybe in their conversations, Obama and Hillary agreed that she'll play another role in an Obama administration. This is politics and a lot happens behind the scenes that we don't see.

Well it's certainly a good choice, Hillary's essentially blessed the choice, so now if Obama loses he will have noone to blame but himself. If he wins, great. If not, Go Hillary 2012!

No Clinton means no Obama vote for me and millions of others. Way to go Obama.........and old white guy..............there's change. wink wink.

Finally.. The end of the Hillary Puma people..... Puma haters please move on....

Obama/Biden 08

How could anyone call themselves a democrat and vote for McCain? A President McCain would lead to the reversal of Roe vs. Wade, set-backs for women, gays, latinos and all minorities. The poor will get poorer and the rich richer.

A vote for McCain makes you a Republican so call yourself what you are.

Remember now it was Hillary Clinton that took herself out of the VP race by wanting her name printed for nomination of President at the DNC in Denver. So Barack Obama made a good, sound choice with Senator Joe Biden as his VP.

I am sure we all will be satisfied with Obama/Biden in office come November.

Thanks.

I'm confused... didn't a handful of you former "Hillary Clinton" supporters push for her to put her name into nomination in the Denver convention? Aren't a couple of you still writing her name in to be President in November? I thought I read that a few of you will vote for McCain who's platform is polar opposite to the Obama/Clinton/Democratic platform?

Then... why so upset about her not being picked as VP? You can't have it both ways. Either you supported Hillary in her support of Obama, and by doing so would have opened the way for her to be VP. Or you supported those of her "supporters" that pushed for her to be nominated as President after Obama won the nomination.

By saying that you would only vote for Obama if he picked Hillary, and given how devisive she was toward the end of her run, she was pushed away from any possiblity of serious consideration for VP.

Sue, I understand your disappointment, but I don't think Obama was ignoring women, my gut says his inner circle knows a lot more dirt on Bill than they want to publicly say, and that's why he couldn't have picked Hillary. It would have been like if he picked John Edwards before the public new about the affair.

Just this May there was a rumor that "fix news" was preparing a dossier of women that Bill had cozied up to after Monica if Hillary got the nomination. Obama just couldn't bring all of that to his campaign.

The real way that he's remembering women, is by supporting our right to choose, giving us back a $1,000 on our taxes (if we make less than $150,000), helping to support a more universal healthcare plan, and having a woman like Michelle at his side who is strong, educated, and can do more than nod her head and smile adoringly.

OBAMA-BIDEN '08

Remember now is was Hillary Clinton that took herself out of the VP race by wanting her name printed for nomination of President at the DNC in Denver. So Barack Obama made the correct and right call with Joe Biden as his VP.

I am sure we all will be satisfied with Obama/Biden in office come November.

Thank you.

Obama apparently knows his history. In 1796, Adams was elected President, and Jefferson Vice President. They clashed over many issues – states' rights, foreign policy, etc. It created unneeded tension in the administration.

The same applies to Obama and Clinton. They've fought too hard, too bitterly, and with too little room to compromise that it would be nearly impossible to reconcile. Clinton supporters need to realize this and support Obama. To go from Clinton to McCain, as a quarter of Clinton supporters are doing, is a dramatic change. Stick with your principles and vote for the party that upholds them.

People like "AsBee" are the reason McCain is pulling ahead in the polls. Seriously, don't let grudges get in the way of your judgment. Biden was a really smart move for Obama.

I am happy Hillary is not on a losing ticket. NoObama!

The more I read the angrier I get. I am really one pissed off Hillary supporter. Was the 3am notification necessary? That was a very low blow to Hillary and her supporters. Shows what a major prick Obama is. Staying home in November.

The Mark Penn staffers (PUMA, etc) are working overtime today.

SUE, Michigan- I agree. It is beyond belief why Obama did not choose Hillary. Kerry picked Edwards and they weren't even as close.

And I agree that it is a slap in the face, esp to women. Obama is a fool.

Thank you Obama, you have made my choice easier.

NO HRC NO OBAMA

As a registered Democrat, and Hillary supporter, it never ceases to amaze me how completely ignorant democrats can be. Those that would rather plunge this country into further war and chaos by choosing another self proclaimed "Maverick" who goes against just about everything we Democrats stand for, just because their first democratic choice was not nominated, are insane.

It's like rooting for China during the olympics because your favorite olympian (Michael Phelps) didn't qualify for the medal rounds, even though other americans did. Where is your loyalty to what you believe in?!?

Tell me you would vote for McCain because you truly believe in what he says he will do and I can totally dig that. But switch sides and basically become a traitor to your party just because Hillary wasn't nominated for Pres or VP? These are the acts of 5 year olds and ignorant people. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

I vote for who I believe will best guide this country in the right direction. Hillary didn't make it. Ok. I accept that. But I sure as hell ain't going to screw this country by being spiteful and vote for another Bush in McCain. That's the worst thing Hillary supporters can do to themselves. If McCain gets elected and things get worse (and they will under his rule), you will have yourselves to blame. Vote with your brain and heart, and not with your ego.

MS. Sue of Michigan – please unite now if you are truly a DEMOCRAT. The people have chosen OBAMA and Hillary lost – that's why there is a thing called PRIMARY where we select our party's nominee...it's as simple as that. Wouldn't you like and be proud that we are going to have an intelligent and thoughtful President in front of a podium – I can not take anymore eight years of a joker in front of the world audience – AMERICA is way better than that!!! Let's have Statesman in the WH instead of a cowboy and a so called maverick. Am sure HRC will have a prominent place in the cabinet but OBAMA need not shout now in the convention or in his campaign – just unite and let;s pray our PARTY wins this election.

OBAMA/BIDEN08 – am fired up!!!!

See ya in 2012, Sen Clinton. Hopefully the Kool Aid will wear off by then.

Registered Democrat for McCain.

Sue, Clinton attacks against Obama did not leave any room for her to be a VP.

What a dissappointment – VOTE MCCAIN!!! I am a gay democrat, have been all my life, and I WILL NOT VOTE for this phony disgrace of a ticket!!

You had better believe that this Hillary supporter is jumping ship...McCain 2008!

Sue from Michigan – you better do some research on Joe before you go off like that. He is the LEAST wealthy person in the entire Senate and actually listed is net worth at -$300,000...yes, NEGATIVE $300,000, a couple of years ago. That means YOU are probably more wealthy than he is.

I love this choice of Obama's. He went for integrity, back-bone, character and experience, and he got it! Those of you still moaning and groaning over HRC need to send her a buck or two so she can hold onto her 100+ million personal funds, and resolve her campaign debt, then get on the bandwagon or shut-up! Your continued whining is beginning to make a great many of us quite ill!

It's 3:00am, and your children are safely asleep. Your phone rings, it's a text message.... "Change... You Can Believe In.."

Obama/Biden '08/12

NO HRC- NO OBAMA.

To those of you who still think Hillary should be CROWNED, please remember the virtue of good sportsmanship.....she LOST, fair & square, to the better candidate...I will NEVER undertand why you think that she is ENTITLED....sure, maybe a high position in the cabinet would be appropriate, but honestly, with you folks trying to tear our party apart, you CERTAINLY are not helping her chances....you probably cost her the VP slot....you are the "whiners" the Republicans love...Hillary, because of you, has lost her legacy...Bill, as well !

Arrogance and stupidity. What a slap for all us democrats that knew from the get go that Obama is empty.
McCain 08

I USED TO BE ANGRY BEFORE SHE CONCEDED.BUT NOW,
MY JULY AND I, TRULY BELIEVE HER IN HER POSITION.
I REMEMBER BEING ANGRIER BACK IN 04 AND IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN...I'D RATHER SIT ANY DEM IN THE W.H THAN 8 YEARS OF WcCAIN.

HRC WILL GET HER CHANCE TO SHINE BACK AGAIN, HELL YEAH!
BUT NO WAY GOP IS GONNA STEAL THIS 1

O/BIDEN 08 – GO DEMS

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

Sue – Hillary would be better served to not be in the administration and take over for Senator Kennedy as the head of the Health committee. Given that Universal Healthcare is her most saught after policy change that position would give her the most leverage to push it through. There is no slap in the face to Hillary – half of the convention is dedicated to her and President Clinton. The Obama campaign has been extremely respectful and helpful throughout the process – the fact that Obama was even helping raise money to help Senator Clinton pay off her debt...much of that debt going to attack ads and airtime to bring Senator Obama down...is a pretty big deal. If Democrats can't unite in this election of all elections they should be ashamed of themselves. Move away from the man and think about the platform – a vote for John McCain is a vote for the Repulican party and a blessing of the complete incompetance that Republicans have excercised in the last eights years. John McCain was beter than most but he won't admit that going to war was a mistake and he criticising Obama on not hailing the surge?

Give me a break – Democrats and Americans – wake up and get over yourselves – this is the most important election and the best platform to move this country forward is the Democratic one.

PUMA need to grow up and stop bring in women issue into this. The whole campaign, Hillary threw her nasty kitchen sink at Obama and throughout the whole campaign , Obama was very respectful of her. From endorsing McCain to 3'oclock phone call, Hillary was trying to shred Obama to pieces and now her supporters are demanding Obama to embrace her? Get Real.

PUMA = Uneducated Mobs.

Oh by the way, Hillary has a court appearance in Nov for fraud. I am pretty sure Obama's decision has something to do with it.

Clinton deserved this choice, and I sent an email to Obama stating that. I pray that McCain does not get elected, but right now, I am angry and disappointed. In any other primary, when two candidates are so close, they BOTH are on the ticket. This is a slap in the face to Hillary, her supporters, and to women. How is this change? This is a newcomer and a rich old white man on the ticket, hoping to bring in more white men. Let me tell you, more voters are women, and while we will NOT vote Republican and see more rights eroded, we are having difficulty supporting a man who is so confident that he discounts us and ignores us. I pray that when the roll call happens, the true Hillary voters will be heard, and she will be acknowledged as the leader she is. I'd like to hear Obama say that she will have a prominent place in the Cabinet.

A vote for McCain = A vote for the end of Roe. The man has promised this.

Democrats and Independents: don't let your disappointment over the election's outcome cause you to vote against your core principles.

this 3 am of announcing biden will not be forgotten by hilliary supporters that gives us more reason to vote for mccain now and hilliary in 2012 what arragance obama has

IM A PUMA SUPPOTER AN I LIKE THIS TICKET JUDGEMENT/DOUBLE EXPERIANCE/CHANGE YOU CANT ASK FOR NOTHING BETTER THEN THAT I THINK IT WAS A GOOD MOVE IN A TIME WHEN RUSSIA/GEORGIANS CONFLICT THINK ABOUT IT OBAMA COULDNT PUT CLINTON IN A POSITION AS VP AT THIS TIME BUT I BET SHE IS GONNA PLAY A ROLE IN HIS CABINET POSITION I HAD TO THINK ABOUT IT AN PUT MY ARROGANCE ASIDE FOR THE FUTURE OF AMERICA IM NOT VOTEING AGAINST THIS TICKET IM FOR IT. MCCAIN DONT CARE ABOUT NOTHING BUT THE WEALTHY AN CLINTON DIDNT WANT THE POSITION ANYWAY.SHE SAID IT HERSELF SO WE NEED TO STOP ALL THE BULL IN GET BEHIND CLINTON IN DEMS

T H E --P R I C E-–O F-–C A M P A I G N--D E B T

Haha. Keep talking crap about Hillary, guys – see what happens on November 4th. YOU are the one's that are stupid because you can't see that the more you denigrate Hillary, the more we are certainly not going to help put YOUR CANDIDATE in the White House.

HILLARY '08

Why don't you 18m Hillary supporters chip in $2 each and retire her debt? Put your money where your mouth is.

Thanks Hill, no get out there and earn some debt relief. These cheapskate PUMAs are all ugly talk and NO CASH!

I fully support Obamas pick for Vp
biden adds a lot to the ticket
Dont rule out a big cabinet position for hillary like secretary of state
or even attorney general
hillary clinton is a work horse
she would relish a position like these or something to do with health care

No Clinton=no Obama, eh? You would rather vote your pride and self-righteousness and give away two or more Supreme Court nominations than do what is right for the country. Do you really think McCain, i.e.: Bush III is better? Who are you going to spite with your vote?

How about giving Obama four or more years, then finding a strong Democrat woman who isn't named Clinton? Hillary ran a strong campaign, but she lost. Deal with it and move on to the business at hand. Do you truly think the country is better off with four more years of Republican blunders, plunder and malfeasance?

He should have picked Hillary.

Anyone who would vote for Mccain as a way to get back at Obama's treatment of Hillary, quite simply needs to go back to kindergarten. You make me laugh, but you also worry me... Can people actually be that ignorant?!?!?!?

Hillary backs Obama over Mccain, but you are so stubborn that you would vote for a man who doesn't even garner the respect of his own party over a man who has gained the respect of the entire Democratic party... How very childish...

SINCERELY MADAM FROM YOU? Thank you so much but one thing that is important is for you to join them Nationwide and campaign for them and the Party
May God bless your family..and that is when and where Bill's credibility will be restored.

I still don't understand these "Hillary Supporters" voting for McCain. His policies will go against everything Clinton stands for, making any change she wants to make in the Senate virtually impossible. By contrast, an Obama Presidency makes her policies more likely to be implemented.

Don't you care about her policies? Don't you want to see Hillary make a difference? Voting for McCain will get you none of that. And that is why I'm voting Obama/Biden

Experience does not matter, People thought George W Bush was experienced but look what has happened to our country since him....
Noone is experienced enough to be president, its one of those things u can never have enough credentials for.

enough with the hillary protest"as of now it's obama /biden.you don't like it welll do what you may,it's bin settled.and by the way"this is a winning ticket"

You Hillary supporters are incredible. Do you really want to be looked upon as the same folks who voted for Nadar in 2000? You might as well demand Bush stick around for a 3rd term. Just because your candidate lost a close primary...and no, it wasn't stolen, just competitive for a change...you can't see past your hurt/anger/whatever it is to see that Obama stirs something in those who were previously uninvolved, and brings a fresh perspective to those who are tired of the same old players. I have been an Obama supporter from the beginning, but would never in a million years pledged support for McCain if Hill had pulled out the nomination. Get over yourselves and think about the future of our country, not stooping to such childish antics just because your favorite didn't get voted homecoming queen!

Anyone that votes for John McCain out of spite (ala HRC not being asked to be the VP) was never really a true Hillary supporter. John McCain stands to desimate, and likely permanently impede, any and all legislation HRC holds dear. Grow up and vote responsibly, not emotionally!!!!!!!!!!

Obama would have been a fool to pick Hillary as his VP with all of the mud slinging her and Bill did during the primaries. The GOP would have had a different ad each week highlighting Hillary's mud slinging.

With Biden as his VP, this ticket is so balanced and makes so much sense. Biden brings experience in foreign policy, etc. And Obama brings the CHANGE that America is wanting. With this ticket, everyone wins. America wins!

Love the ticket! Can't wait until tlhey hit the trail together. Joe Biden has already started, today, he said something to the effect that Senator Obama is not running to be Commander-in-Chief of Iraq, he's running to be a Commander-in-Chief who has the judgment to lead and to interact with world leaders on an international level!!! These two will make a GREAT team, and for Hillary supporters and PUMAS, Hillary Clinton has already selected the spot she will hold in the Obama administration, which will be revealed over the next couple of days. As outspoken and well respected as Joe BIden is and not afraid to take risks, Obama and Biden will CHANGE THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE IN WASHINGTON – and that's CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!

Oh, and don't dwell too much on the things Biden said about Senator Obama during the primaries, because then we would have to call to memory all of the things that Senator Hillary Clinton also said, and that would be pointless, especially since many folks wanted Senator Obama to select her, even though she said some pretty horrible things. We'll let bygone be bygones, and move on to get the Obama/Biden ticket elected to the White House!!

I have posted comments on just about every ticket topic and so far every one of them are still in moderation even though some of them were made an hour ago, what gives CNN? What's the problem here?

Some jokers pretending to be hillary's supporters are spinning the switch game, nice try idiots, you're only fooling yourselves.

Although Biden was not on my list of VP, now that he was picked for the job, I think will be a good plus for the ticket, a white catholic older man from humble background, should deliver the much needed help to Obama.

We will see a large spread in the polls in the next few weeks since Obama will have the lead among Hispanics, Blacks, women, Indians, immigrants and will split the white male vote.

Senator Clinton does not have the experience and knowledge of Foreign Policy that Senator Biden has. He makes a good Vice President. Senator Clinton actually doesn't bring much to the table, since her "18 million" voters appear to be mostly republicans by nature. Anyone who in their heart thought Senator Clinton was a great candidate and not vote for Senator Obama must be nuts, or a closet republican. The thought of McCain in for four more years of this or worse scares me to death.

I' m a die hard democrat have been all my life but I will be staying home this year or will be voting for Mccain. Obama didn't put Hillary on his ticket. Mr Obama you will not be gettting my vote,and I hope you lose.

Lets make one thing clear, the people responsible for the McCain Presidency are those who voted for OBAMA in the primary.
This is not news, he was not electable then and he's STILL not electable now.

For some Dems to abandon real experience for some mythical "hope" and undefined "change" is not only contemptible but ignorant.

When we lose another 4,000 young Americans in Iraq, because of President McCain, I want all those people that voted for Obama in the primary to tell the parents of those kids........."I proudly voted for Obama!"

YOU took a chance and they .........LOST !!!

3rd party 08 !!
Clinton 2012 !!

It was either Hillary or Biden in my book.

Another great call by Obama.

there are no PUMA people, they are just Republicans trying to create an illusion of female-backlash hoping to inspire it - in reality clinton fans are not that stupid. obama reps female interests much better than mcfool.

PUMA's get a life, your candidate lost and she has graciously accepted that defeat, you should stop making her look bad and follow her lead like she has asked you too. Show your support for her and do the right thing and vote for Obama, because with or without you he IS going to be the next president of the United States. Don't you want to be on the winning team instead of looking like the desperate bunch of losers you are...............grow up.

Is it true that Obama's notification for VP went out at around 3am? Is this a play on the 3am call that Hillary used in her ads?

So basically Obama is mocking and 'thumbing his nose' at Hillary and her supporters?

Nice.

Though I am a Obama supporter, and am thrilled with the Biden pick for VP, I like Clinton. But I do not think he should have picked her to be his running mate. They both ran tough hard fought campaigns but he had to make the best decision for him and someone he is going to feel comfortable with.

I will say this to you PUMA people, if Clinton steals the nomination at the convention, she won't even sniff the white house. Trust me black america will revolt, and there would be a nationwide effort to not vote or to vote McCain. She would be seen as the stolen nominee, and black america would not stand for it. No Democrat has won POTUS without a vast majority of the black vote. Thats all I gotta say.

Obama/Biden '08

Obama made a very wise decision. Now that is a balanced ticket! What a great team they will be!

I believe Obama lost has chance to become Pres of our great country. Biden recieved 9thousand votes to Hillary's 18 million and he picks Biden?? What was he thinking? Does he think the Hillary supporters will vote for him? I for one will not. John McCain, you have my vote decided vote now if your VP is a good one. If Not I won't vote at all.

i'm voting for putin,now.

and yet obama supporters continue to throw dirt on you Hillary. You are the woman!

MCCAIN '08. Obama's v.p. pick has all the excitement of watching paint dry !!!

So much for wanting change.This guy may have experience but so did Hillary Clinton, so if he was not going to pick a change candidate why not Clinton. I think he is afraid of Clinton because she is much smarter than he is. Good Luck winning in November..All Clinton supporters should be upset, now that it is known he did not want her all along and lied when he said she would be on anyone's short list. I think people are starting to see what this guy is all about. Big ego and arrogant. Stick your nose up at the Clintons all you want but you will never be what the Clintons are to politics even with all the baggage the Clintons are so much better and the democratics that put Obama where he is will be sorry.

I hate reading all these comments and thoughts from people who call themselfs "democrats". If they vote from mccain.. they would be republicans..... I dunno, thats kinda commen sense, something during the election hillary supporters didnt have, and countinue to not have. Hillary is the champion of the hatefull, the stupid, and the afraid. And she championed that through using fear hate and stupidity. Thats a guarentee that those same voters are not going to be smart enough to vote obama for the petty reason its not clinton.

I agree Biden is a good choice. Old Washington is still in the political arena with Barack Hussein Obama standing on CHANGE! This shows just how inexperience Barack Hussein Obama is.......Our family made up there mind about Barack Hussein Obama before he even made his VP choice.....

We have been a Hillary supporter from day one, but still would have not voted for Barack Hussein Obama for President if Hillary was chosen for VP.........

I would love to see the Hillary Delegates at the Convention, cast their vote for her, then walk out of the DNC, and leave the place half empty for the world to see......PERFECT PICTURE....!

John McCain 2008..............Hillary Rodham Clinton 2012...............

Folks, please put your hurt/angry feelings behind you and let's get the Obama/Biden ticket into the White House! Our country cannot afford more years such as we've had the past 8! I'm a former Republican...changed party affiliation to Indpendent....and will be voting for Obama/Biden in November.

McCain is going start up the military draft.

VOTE OBAMA / BIDEN 2008

All of u puma's need to take a break .. Hillary is not the person in the limelight...she did not beat Obama and it is time for you to face that fact...all this bs you continue to talk about voting Mcsame is your business...one thing we Obama people know is its not even about Clinton...its about your selfish reasons for not admitting you are a racist & repuglican and are just using Hillary as your excuse for not voting for a Black Man..if you were truly a Hillary fan you would leave all the rest of this bs aside and support the democratic ticket...you just seem to not want to die even tho u r dead.....

VOTE for John McCain

Registered Democrat for McCain

ditto....................this is the only way to keep obama out he is dangerous for our country. dont stay home and not vote , vote mccain then hillary will run in 2012 .we wont have to deal with his nasty wife michelle if he looses

Why is everything about Clinton? And who cares what she or Bill thinks anymore. I, for one, am so sick of all the whining and belly-aching about Clinton. She needs to get over it, and so do her PUMA supporters. Obama's not running his campaign to please her, and is smart to distance himself as much as possible. They are all about themselves and care not one iota about the importance of getting the democratic administration we so desperately need this election year. True demorats see that and will remember. You cry-babies need to grow up!

You go girl... love ya! Can't wait to see you in the cabinet!!

Had the dnc, reid, dean, pelosick, cnn not SELECTED obama, Hillary would have won the nomination. Hillary would have been the best (and only) choice for vp but I am so glad that she is not a part of this ugly scam! McCain should ask her to be his vp. They would win hands down and for the first time taxpayers would be getting their money's worth for what we pay in politicians' salaries!!!!

McCAIN – '08
HILLARY – '12
NO obama bin biden – NEVER

HILLARY SHOULD NAME HER VEEP CHOICE AT THE CONVENTION. THE ONLY HOPE TO OUST REPUBS IS FOR HILL/BILL TICKET. HEY MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA VOTERS DONT YOU AGREE. IF ITS APOPULARITY CONTEST LET THE MOST POPULAR WIN. COUNT ALL THE VOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think his choice for VP is Great!

Go OBAMA '08!

In response to all of Sen. Clinton supporters, who in disappointment to the primary outcome, are pledging support of McCain, STOP AND THINK!! Do you honestly believe, that John Mcain with all of his pro Bush backing for one minute would listen and promote any idea favored by Sen. Clinton, or any other democratic leader. Let me know because I have some land to sell and a bridge also.

vvv August 23rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

I will vote McCain! He has more experience
_________________________

In WHAT? Being a POW. There are many men who were POW's in Viet Nam and that doesn't qualify them to be President. I fought in country in Viet Nam and that doesn't qualify me to be President My dad fought on Iwo Jumo and that never qualified him for the above-stated position.

Sure, McCain has more life experience but again, just because he couldn't keep his zipper zipped does not make for a good qualification for President, though others won't see it that was as I am somewhat old fashioned when it comes to my marriage vows.

Looking out to what the future holds, what we can do do insure that America can once again, support herself without having to depend on the support of other countries to keep us afloat is what I look for in a leader.

Hillary is soooo smart.
Obama people, you blew it.
Made an emotional choice, not a smart one.
Obama has sealed his fate, and you can't blame Hillary!

To all you Hillary lovers who are voting for McCain..don't worry. There are more than enough mature Obama supporters, former Clinton supporters, who will wipe your McSame vote out so go ahead and waste your time.

To M Abdullah:

What do you say to the fact Mr Biden ran not once but twice for the presidential nomination and got bounced not once but twice ??

Let me guess ? In your eyes and those of your other obama-bot followers, the messiah struck again with one of his brilliant actions !

Thanks for the fact that it will rain for mcain this upcomming election.

Democrat On Hiatus This Election / Will Return In 2012

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.

Biden is a good choice but Clinton would have been much better.......NO CLINTON then NO OBAMA.........McCain '08

HRC was very gracious in her statement. I think she meant it. Way to go Hill. Now let's elect O/B . New and Old together, what a union....

No McWorldWar 3 !

No McWorldWar 3 !

No McWorldWar 3 !

No McWorldWar 3 !

No McWorldWar 3 !

No McWorldWar 3 !

Choosing Senator Biden was a smart move on Sentaor Obama's part. He has experience in an area in which he is not is strong point, he has appeal to the blue collar workers and he has shown that he can work with the folks across the aisle. But most importantly – he is an attack dog when he needs to be which will be needed in the coming months.

While I do not put much faith in experience for those on the Hill (lets face it, most of the member of the House and Senate have been in service for 30 plus years and we generally tend to get the short end of the stick), I do put faith in people who at attempts to give hope to others and has the common sense enough to surround himself with people who compliment themselves in areas where the may lack.

Her statement did not include a call to pay her debts? Anyway...my version of PUMA is "Pay Her Debts My A–".

I'm sure Anita Hill will be Rushing out to vote for this ticket!!!!

she's no different than biden,or mccain.we needed change,and we got more of the same.sad day for this obama fan.

LOST MY VOTE. THE DEMOCRATIC IS GOING DOWNHILL FROM HERE

You haters please don't start with this 3 a.m. mess. Hillary and Obama are friends and they made that clear "we will were friends in the Sen. and when this is over we will still be friends."

The Rep. like the ideal that people hate Obama because their favorite lost. Obama and Hillary are mending therefore let the party heal and take back the White House.

If Obama doesn't have the experience we need, why do we want him for president... I don't want Biden – the 100 year old Democratic McCain... talk about the establishment and more of the same.

All you PUMA people: Think SUPREME COURT.

That,s right Hillary ......now if you and Biilyboy just behave yourself at the convention .......I'll be able to breathe easier again.......until then ....I'm holding my breath because Clintons can't be trusted !!!

he will never win without her. obviously, he doesn't feel he needs the votes of hillary's supporters.

Thats right...vote against everything you stand for as a Hillary supporter. Vote for a man who is putting forward the same plan as Bush...vote against the person Hillary backs and campaigns for..thats right vote for McCain because you are bitter and would rather have 4 or 8 more years of republican rule because YOU are angry....how unselfish of you PUMAS

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008

well said abdullah but unfortunately people stopped talking intelligently and have intellectual debates.
the law of karma is true.
we cant vote for george bush and hope to get george washington.
the presidency has become a game which you win at all cost by any means, lie,cheat,spin etc etc.

Can't you see it folks – voting for McCain is a vote for the draft. Do you know any 15, 16, 17, 18 year olds? They'll all be drafted to die in some foreign country IF you decide to elect this war monger McCain.

Cue all the Hillary supporters saying that Hillary doesn't really mean it, and through some secret telepathic communication, they KNOW that Hillary really wants them to vote for McCain.

How many times does this woman have to bury the hatchet before her supporters will move on?

Wonderful choice! Clinton is being gracious!

Wow, Hillary wasnt even mentioned. Unbelievable. Good luck Mr. Obama/Biden.

Ill stay with Hillary thank you. Im kinda glad he didnt pick her. Shes a formidable person on her own. I feel sad we didnt pick her, the person who truly deserved this moment.

Ill just leave the political scene, I feel I dont belong this time.

OBAMA , has just decided to loose the election!. because Hillary will be not in the ticket (more THAN 18.000.000 votes) !!
He is showing, one more time, lack of politic experience.
He does not deserve to be President of UNITED STATE OF AMERICA .
Now I have a big reason TO VOTE FOR MACCAIN !!

Melli – I have made many decisions at 3am. Nothing about it is rude.

To the Hillary supporters or sheeps in wolf's clothing that say "they will write in Hillary's name" because Obama didn't pick her or that she didn't win the nomination. Where exactly do you people vote and how can you write someone's name on the ballot. Even if millions did this, which they can't, she's not the nominee so it would be for naught. I guess like McCain who doesn't know how many houses he has, you all are clueless too. Poutting is childish, get over it.

Biden can't keep his mouth shut. Obama will spend half of his time cleaning up after Biden's stupid gaffes.

Mix of Hot Air & Bluster = a Blast

This ticket is a BUST

Registered Democrat for McCain

Senator Biden is an excellent choice. He brings a wealth of knowledge in Foreign Policy , appeal to blue collar workers, judicial experience and a sterling record in Civil Rights, just to name a few.

In short, what this says about Senator Obama is that he has the judgement necessary to engage and work with his friends and critics alike, which is the mark of a great leader. His selection of Biden also brings to mind the ability of Theodore Roosevelt, who knew how to
surround himself with competent and qualified people to fill in where
he was lacking.

To All Hillary Supporters – Dont stay home; VOTE

VOTE for John McCain

Registered Democrat for McCain

Any Democrat who votes for McCain will get what they deserve.

These people are usually those with IQs of less than 100 anyway. They pout and whine because THEIR candidate didn't win or because they won't vote for a "black" person. How ignorant!

Anyway who votes for a candidate that shares NOTHING in common with their values or issues is a moron.

McCain's "experience" is not the true reason and they know it. STALIN had "experience"...give me a break!

McCain lacks the courage to lead. He's had months more to determine his VP, yet he has waited for Obama's announcement?

Who does this country want, a leader (Obama) or a conniver (McCain)?

THE THING THAT MAKES AMERICA, A GREAT COUNTRY IS THAT IT ALLOWS US TO MAKE CHOICES, AND WE AS AN AMERICANS LOVE THAT IDEALOLOGY, IN SAYING, RESPECT OBAMA'S CHOICE FOR VP..

LET'S FACE IT HILLARY BLEW , FLAG ON THE PLAY UNSPORTSMAN LIKE CONDUCT WHEN SHE LOST THE PRIMARY, LET'S BE HONEST, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE PICKED HER FOR YOUR TEAM AND SHE DISRESPECT YOU... SHE SHOULD HAVE CALLED OBAMA THAT NIGHT TO CONGRATULATE HIM, NOT A WEEK LATER, SO HERE WE TODAY....GREAT PICK OBAMA, A VP WITH EXPERIENCE... A BALANCE TICKET, INDEED...

Gag

Hillary should of gotten it

No vote from here
they make me sick

All I can say is, This is going to be good!

Wow, Biden, don't bail out now McCain, you haven't been beat up enough!

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.

Great message Ms. Hillary, I will always love you..

PUMAs have no respect for Hillary or for anything she has to say anymore. Voting for McCain is the biggest betrayal of all she stands for.

I have always loved the Clintons. I think Hillary has lost a lot of luster. She can't control her supporters. They could care less what she says. And the Bosnia comment makes her a terrible choice for Sec. of State

Thank you Hillary.

With McCain steadily rising in the polls, the more that people realize that Obama is actually saying nothing when he speaks. Obamas pick won't help him for long cause now Mr McCain will steal the spotlight when he announces his pick. Also I really doubt that Mr Obama can win the South

I am glad Hillary is gracious but I can't say the same about her whinning grown supporters. Those who are still crying over Hillary's loss, need to grow up, and get over it. Stop being a sore loser and sending a negative message to young people, on the agony of defeat.

McCain is going to lose the election. I can guarantee Obama is going to be the winner by a big landslide. I don't know many people who have landlines except old people in this day and age. So, who are they polling? Old people! Go Obama! You an intelligent articulate man and some people are going to vote against you because they do not want to see a black man as President.

They know you are the best choice for President but ignorance and prejudice will get in some people's way of making a decision. I don't want 4 more years of a republican reign. We need change. America is going down the drain. People are stuggling to make ends meet.

I pray most people vote cast an intelligent vote.

Obama made a very good and solid choice. In doing this he proved he will do whatever he needs to help all the people of the United States and not just the few. I believe Hillary knew for a while she would not be VP and the actions of Bill Clinton only proves this. BUT Obama is a smart man and Hilliary will have a place with power and so will Bill in Obama's cabinet.

Obama has proven over and over that he will make good choices for the people of the USA and he will continue for the next 8 years.

Thanks hillary and now we will move forward and win!

Another three points for Obama. It's Obama time!

here we go...welcome president McCain...good choice for VP but it will not work

BECAUSE he DID NOT pick Hillary for veep, he has LOST OUR VOTES

I still will not vote for Obama ,Biden is just like him another empty suit stuck on themself

I´m a fan of Hillary and I really Appreciate that Obama chose 3 O clock to make it Public, I didn´t like the 3 Am call from Hillary.
but Obama you really did Great!

I can't believe she wasn't asked. Goes to show how Obama does what his wife says.

Hillary is a true blue Democrat. She wants this country to thrive again and will set aside her desires to insure it will be a Democrat as President. I wanted Hillary as president and still do. I am not a true blue Democrat, I still feel Obama will be bad for this country. Which brings into question, my faith in Hillary. Not all Democrats are good people. Not just any Democrat will do. I will still write her name on my ballot, be it wasted or not. We have had Republicans in office a majority of the time and ROE v Wade is still a law. McCain does not need the money anymore then JFK needed the money. New money is the most dangerous. I bet Obama wants his profile on Mt. Rushmore, as the first black president. Obama is in it for the glory and the money, the money it brings later. God help us if he wins…

It was Hillary who kicked at Obama first, The 3:00 o'clock was HER IDEA.

NO ONE KICKED HILLARY! Get over yourself! Ego is ugly!

I think Mrs. Clinton's comment was gracious! Thank you, Hillary.

By the way, Hillary-supporters, in 2016, when Hillary wants to run again you WILL NEED the support of the Obama people........ so if I were you I would be careful not to continue throwing stones!

Remember, PUMA's one day Hillary will run again...... and you will need Obama's supporters....... be CAREFUL, and THINK about supporting Sen. Obama....... OR YOU CAN BET THAT HILLARY WILL LOSE WITHOUT OUR SUPPORT!

Just out of curiosity I would like to know WHY Obama should have spoke with the Clintons about his VP choice. Obama is supposed to show the country he is ready to lead with this choice! Here, everyone thinks he should have considered talking to the Clintons about it.

If Clinton was so good on judgment: 1. Why did she vote for the Iraqi War; 2. Why did she not run her campaign better and Bill; 3. Why did she not get out sooner and save all of us some money and wasted time. It’s called JUDGMENT!!!!!!!!! The Clintons should only blame themselves.

I am personally tired of hearing about the CLINTONS!!! What they think, Who Cares!!!

Does this mean the Clinton supporters will abandon their rants of how they will abstain from voting or vote for McCain, or are they so self-centered that they see this as a secret code for following that insane plan?

Wasn't Hillary placing her name into nomination during the convention? She took herself out of the VP process. Her comments were very gracious and I believe sincere.

It would have been impossible for Obama to select her after the vicious negative campaign she waged against him toward the end. McCain's currently using a lot of material from her campaign against Obama.

Obama kicked at Hilary and should be ashamed? Melli and others like you....you should be ashamed yourselves for writing things like this and for not being a good sport and accepting Hilary's defeat and then moving on and supporting our Barack Obama, our Democratic nominee.
McCain is a very scary man. Read about his temper and his history people!

Obama/Biden 2008 – its time for a change-do you really want another 4-8 years of George Bush's policies? That is what you are going to get with McCain. Open your eyes!

Clinton was never a contender because I doubt very much whether she and Bill would hand over financial records to Caroline Kennedy and the vp nominating committee. Barack/Biden.

In as much as I respect Mr. Obama, I feel he did Clinton wrong for sniffing her with such a disrespect. I think he in for a long hall with
Clinton's supporters, especially, women.

As usual, she's lying!

Ohh Biden! Obama couldn't find a weaker running mate. Biden is a whiner, a foreign policy disaster and a devisive liberal...left of even Obama, but I'm sure that the text message antic garnered a few votes from the naive college crowd...Obama just lost my vote.

Clinton – Biden is the true dream ticket.
But if we have to live with Obama- at least he picked someone who has the expertise to know what to do when he walks in the door of the White house.
Now if Obama uses him as a real second in command- or better, let's him run the country while Obama plays cheerleader- we may have a winning ticket.

I don't think Obama was being rude by announcing his VP at 3 AM.
This goes to prove that he can stay awake and think straight at 3 AM.
Now 3 AM is the standard for presidential candidates coined by Hillary.

"In naming MY colleague and friend..." she just can't help herself can she? It's not about you lady!!

YEAH RIGHT SHE DOING THAT BECAUSE SHES BEING FORCED TO BARACK CAN GO TO HELL IM VOTING MCAIN NOW I ,COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS, IM INDY

I am so proud of Hillary's response. It shows she is truly a team player and has gotten over her defeat in the primary.

When you compare all the traditional "talking points" that trouble makers would try to raise about picking someone other than Hillary, this selection renders them EMPTY.

Biden with 36 yeas of experience, and as Chairman of Foriegn Relations in the Senate far and away trumps Hillary's years [and caliber] of experience ... even if you want to try to count her time as 1st lady of the US or Arkansas

Biden has run for President twice ... he's been vetted ... there won't be a skeleton in his closet.

Biden could be President if something should require it.

Biden is Catholic, Hillary is not. Lot's of voters in Pennsylvania and Ohio are Catholic ... Biden will genuinely connect with them.
Biden is from Scranton PA , Hillary sort of is but nobody winks and nods when this is said about Biden
Biden naturally connects with "blue collar", "lunch pail" Americans. Hillary worked at it and was successful. It's in Biden's DNA.

Biden is every bit as cutthroat as Hillary would be in a political fight with the otherside .... plus he's carefully watch John McCain's weaknesses since he came into the Senate. He'll know better than anyone, where McCain is vulnerable.

Hillary, thanks for coming out strong for the team. Run hard with the Democratic party through the tape in November.

Melli, how was this announcement rude or anything to be ashamed of? What is the real problem you PUMAs have with Obama? It can't policy, he and Hillary are too similar. As to experience, he has held elective office longer than Hillary has. Your candidate lost, and that must hurt, however, if you are truly a Democrat, and a loyal Clinton supporter, then follow her lead, and get on board. Any Hillary supporter who now switches to McCain is either (a) not a true Democrat, (b) consciously or unconsciously racist or (c) both.

This right decision that Obama just made, will validate his winning in November.

OBAMA / BIDEN '08

Gracious lady thank you now lets take back the White House.

GO BARACK OBAMA and GO JOE BIDEN. This is a ticket of hope for all of us

OBAMA/BIDEN ´08

Senator Biden is an excellent choice. I've been saying all week, if not Hillary Clinton then hopefully Joe Biden. My faith in Barack Obama has been restored. Onward to November! Bye bye Republicans! You're done ruining my country.

Wow, better than I expected from her. Nice to see, even if it is just lip service.

Is this called Unity ? I don't think so
Obama's ego is very big. He will pay this November...
I watched the scene Biden said he will not be VP for any of them, now watch what he did . He did exactly the opposite of what he said in 2007. He is not the man of his word. How can Obama trust a person like that? What a judgement !!!
And if Obama's brother lives in poverty like that, what kind of President Obama will make for this country ?

"I will vote for McCain! He has more experience." Experience at what? Making bad judgements like Keating Five, dumping his sick wife, being unaware of how many houses he has, saying the economy is okay, and pushing for the Iraq war before Bush did?"

You want experience? You get what you ask for, and it could be the last breath of America. We're near the end as it is. Bring in McCain's "experience" and it will be the end of this country as we know it.

Oh come off it a little- Obama's 3 a.m. timing is funny. Lighten up! I'm sure Hillary would find the humor in his call too. Biden is a good choice!

some of you on this forum are so ignorant and stupid,i actually feel sorry for you.
why should obama nominate hillary as his vp?
she led to all the problems he has now,because of her greedy quest to be "commander-in-chief".
imagine what the repubs would have done
please vote who ever you want
but stop making these senseless statements,
its pitiful

The three o'clock swipe at Hillary is just another reason why I will never vote for Obama. That was petty. Where is the strength of character we need for the office of the President of the United States? Hillary has it.

Hillary Clinton has committed to this ticket it is now time for all of her supporters to join her. If you truly believed in her candidacy and her vision for America you can't just give up on that vision and vote for McCain and the Repuplicans. The 2 messages and visions are not compatible! I was a Clinton Delegate to the county convention in Texas and I wanted her to win, what I want now is for my country to win!

Go Obama/Biden '08 !!!!!!

Yep, Obama does need adult supervision. Good move

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?

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.

Joe Biden has more experience than John McCain. What's the excuse now? Do you think that John McCain can even stay awake to govern?

Did all you Hillary lovers really want her as VP? Why??????

This was a good decision for all involved. It's my feeling that HRC didn't want the VP job.

I will vote McCain, any one with half a brain knows you have to experience to run this country. Don't tell me Obama has the judgement after Rev. Wright and taking his kids to that church to teach them to hate. Then there's the rest of his anti-american friends. Judgement he doesn't have that either. The empty suit with rah rah hope and change. Some people will believe anything.

Clinton supporters, stop being difficult. you have these so called PUMAs and all and you always want to put here in the mix of things like why did he not consider clinton. if he had considered him, you would have said WHY DID HE NOT CHOOSE HIM.please get over it because at the end of the day, your views are OBAMAs view. he wants to make your life better just like hillary wanted to do.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS ALL UP TO BREAD AND BUTTER ISSUES.

you might think that you are fixing OBAMA, or HURTING HIS FEELINGS by not voting for him, but at the end if the day, IF YOU VOTE FOR MCSAME or DO NOT GO OUT TO VOTE, YOU ARE NOT DAMAGING OBAMAs LIVELIHOOD BUT YOU ARE HURTIN YOUR.

YOU ARE HURTING YOUSELF, YOUR NEIGHBOURS AND MOST OF ALL……………….. " YOUR CHILDRENS' FUTURE"

OBAMA will go back to Washington and live his life and he will be comfortable as a Senator but you will suffer another 4 years of the same old, same old. you might even loose your job in the time period and the you will kick yourself and wonder why you thought you will hurt OBAMA but at the end of the day, YOU ARE SUFFERING. then 4 years later the repubs are going to come back and lie to you again and you will eat from their spoon that poisoned you. AREN'T YOU TIRE OR ALL THESE PROBLEMS WE HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO FOR THE PAST 8YRS. Mcain cannot even tell us the truth about how many houses he has, a simple thing as that. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING RICH Mr Mcain, WE JUST WANT THE TRUTH. to tell you the truth, ALL OF US DREAM OF BEING RICH TOO ONE DAY. So please treat us a ADULTS and tell us the truth.

IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, DO THE RIGHT THING. IF NOT AT LEAST DO IT FOR YOUR CHILDRENS' FUTURE

Hillary's a big girl who can take care of herself... she can withstand being kicked at '3:00am'

She endured being kicked in the teeth in front of the entire country by her husband while in the Oval Office... she'll survive this too!! What doesn't kill you... makes you stronger!!

Great things are ahead for Hillary... I hope Obama offers her the Attorneys General position so she can go after and prosecute the Bush Administration for all of their illegal activities and for shredding our Constitution... Judgement day will come soon enough for the Bush Administration.

The only thing in that empty suit McCain's future is more depends diapers and lots of naps!!! Maybe some Geritol shots....

Hillary, Hillary. It is you we wanted. God help us now. But McCain will be a good president, I think. Let's give him a chance, since we can't have Hillary.

To Sen. Clinton we should say "THANKYOU". A lot of people have been down on her but if you look deep she really wants what is right for the United States and all the world. She will do whatever she can do to brign the party together and do what she can to get Sen, Obama
elected our next president. No one knows what the furture holds for any of us and Sen. Clinton will be an important part of this administration. I have been a Obama supporter but we need to look past what has happened, help unite, and bring this country back to reality.

Melli,

I understand your anger, but Hillary was never polite to Obama either, it is just how politics works. You can't just say, she's a woman! You can NEVER be rude to her, because while I somewhat agree with that in real life, politics is when we need to put on the big kid clothes and sometimes get hurt.

Obama/Biden 08/12

I still do not trust her.

GOTTA GIVE HER CREDIT..ME..OH I WOULD TELL OBAMA TO SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DOSEN'T SHINE.
SO SAD, BIDEN WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT VP PICK FOR CLINTON..NOW HE IS WITH MR> NUM NUTS>(OBAMA)

vvv, be honest.. You were not going to vote for Obama anyway. We get your point. The true democrats will do the right thing.

Obama/Biden'08

Unfortunately the vice president is little more than a figure-head. The one calling the shots would be Obama and that scares the hell out of me. It's gotta' be McCain this time around.

If Obama wasn't smart enough to pick Clinton, he certainly isn't wise enough to lead the country. Is there still a chance – any chance – that Hillary can be nominated???I'm praying there is!
His life story is wonderful, but I've not been impressed with Obama's "ideas," his change on issues, or his performance lately. It's no wonder McCain is earning points and Obama losing them.
I do like Obama, I just don't think he is ready for this position – even with someone as vetted as Biden. And I'm concerend by Obama – and his wife's – lack of respect toward Clinton. If you are a true Dem and not just someone who jumped on the Obama bus to make a point, then you'd realize that Clinton is a party leader, with so much more experience, who deserves respect from the Obama camp.

Dear vvv

I thought Biden had more experienced...but nevertheless Obama now has an experienced ticket, I love this pick

Thank you Hillary! You are a true Democrat...please show some of your confused followers the way. Real Democrats NEVER vote Republican. Oh and tell them the truth...you never wanted to be VP anyway!!

Goodness – Bam Bam's teeth are as big as his ears – he's scary-looking

Kind of like a vampire bat

He is, like, the OBAMAMONSTER VAMPIRE BAT

Who will suck every last dollar out of us

Wow, Hillary said Biden will help Govern this Country, bet he will be the one with the decisions

McCain is going to beat Obama VP choice you wait and see – he should have picked Hillary who has 18 million votes. How cares about her Husband or who donated to his library its not Bill in the WH its Hillary.

Hello President McCain

Hillary needs to be McCains running mate! Together they can break the boundries of the two party stalemate that has divided this country!

Biden is the best choice in that it did not hurt Hillary's feeling unnecessarily; the other choice that would make sense is Hillary herself, but that would have antagonized a lot if Obama supporters as well as galvanized the repubs.
Personally, I would have preferred Gore or Clark, but Biden is pretty good: experience and sharp wit against the repub smear campaign.

Four short years later....

thank you Hillary. This is the BEST VP choice that I've EVER seen in the many years I've been voting. This is GREAT!!!!

You people who are still soooo disgruntle because Hillary isn't the celebrated candidate should either grow up because your insults are childish and useless, shut up because frankly everyone is sick of your whining and your protests and or finally just go away and spitefully vote for the other candidate which will prove your personal instability. Voting someone in as POTUS simply because your anger displaces you emotionally and mentally is soooo first gradish and catagorically if you're a woman holding a grudge toward the DNC because Hillary isn't the choice...well, as a woman and in my opinion it sort of seals the deal that we are emotional creatures and we're vindictive. Hillary you've set the tone for all women and I applaude you, so as a true Democrat I am following your lead and honoring your request wholeheartedly in supporting Sen. Obama .

Obama/Biden 08

(((vvv))) what experience does McSAME have???? Why do these folks equate age with experience? Just because he's OLD doesn't mean he has leadership experience....Being a POW as a young man doesn't qualify you for the the office of President.

Obama kicked at Hillary. His "3 o'clock" was rude. He should be ashamed
_____________________________________________________
Why should Obama be "ashamed"? Hillary ran a campaign that SHE should be ashamed of. That 3am ad was ridiculous at best. What made Hillary "the one" to answer that 3am call???? being first lady did not give her leadership experience.
YOU Hillary-Bots need to 'cut the crap" .It's over for Hillary!!!!!!!!.

Nganenu ....

you have so many grammatical errors its not even funny. there is no way to even decipher what youre saying. learn some grammar and then come back and say something at least half intelligent.

Obama/Biden will be a strong ticket due to the expertise and skills that Biden will be bringing into the White House. Im still skeptical of Obama's ability to lead, but at this point in time, the Dems are who we need in office to take the reigns of this country and steer it in the right direction. McCain has little options with his VP selection as most of his choices are failures. The only one who could be a challenge to Obama/Biden is Romney. McCain/Romney would be a strong ticket, tho besides that, their ticket is a weak at best.

Experience? Cheney has more experience than any of these candidates and look at the state of this nation. Experience is a weak case. It's simple America, just look at the policy of the past eight years and see where it has gotten us. Action speak louder than words and that is why I made my mind for who to vote for before the primarys. Obama/Biden is the best choice for the U.S.A.! Obama/Biden 08!

vvv – bad experience is a lot worse than no (or little) experience. Go to FOX – that's where you belong.

Oh, Melli, dear...it's called "what goes around, comes around." If anyone should be ashamed, it should be Hill and all of her whining minions. Hope you're not among them.

What a great statement from Hillary Clinton! I will be sending her another donation next week. Thanks for the support!
Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Melli said; "Obama kicked at Hillary. His "3 o'clock" was rude. He should be ashamed."

WHAT in the world are you talking about anyway? That post typlfies the type of person that is willing to waste their vote on McStupid. His "3 o'clock" what? Did you just wake up or something or is this your normal way of thinking? Geeeze, now I can understand how we have allowed one the worst Presidents in American history stay in that position for so long. And we wonder why everything is sooo messed up. LMAO...

The US certainly has the market cornered when it comes to entertainment. I am looking forward to the the "blood bath...err the Democratic convention in Denver.

The 2008 election and its aftermath (the defeat of Obama) will be even more exciting to watch as the combatants in the Democratic party tear each other part.

Of course the 2012 Democratic Presidential primary process in which Clinton seeks to "seize" the nomination will be even more exciting as all out civil war erupts in the Democratic party.

Followed by Clinton's defeat in 2012 I expect the endless rounds of party "purges" will provide endless entertainment.

All of this set against a back drop of a country with serious economic, energy, military and foreign challenges will make for great viewing.

How sad.

Sorry Hillary...
I will not vote for Obama without you on the ticket...
I really thought he was going to do the right thing, stupid me...
18 million people voted for you and Obama just slapped you in the face again...

Biden brings nothing to the table....

Hillary, 2012!!!!!!

Thank you Hillary...so now ...get on board or move over .

Very gracious, Senator Clinton. We are proud of you and we are FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mccain will kick Obama big times... I vote for Mccain even though i am democrate.

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. Barack is nothing but talk. Hillary pegged him out of the gate and we just proved it. Frustrated and now uncertain how to vote, or if I will. Barack doesn't know how to reach out across the aisle. I may go to McCain.

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).

Biden's behavior towards Anita Hill at the Clarence Thomas hearings was despicable. I bet they are counting on many voters being too young to remember. And before you get too excited remember, Biden voted for the Iraq war.

I think Biden is a great pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!It was state of the art and a wonderful idea in contacting supporters about his choice.

Hillary Clinton would be an excellent Attorney general. Gore for energy,

vvv, all McCain has experience in is "I know how to win wars." He's a war monger.

I response to 'WW' who said "I will vote McCain! He has more experience."

What a stupid comment . More experience doing what? What has McCain ever achieved other than be shot down, fail in a suicide attempt, cheat on his wife, fail to run for president, marry a rich woman (with whom he was cheating on prior to his divorice), and then beat out a sorry feild of candidates for the nomination. Exerience only matters if it demonstrates success. My Grandfather has run a store for 48 years, but that does not make him a business match for Bill Gates.

Obama could change the entire future of the USA. There is a need someone who is intellegent to fix the economy. McCain is following an economic doctrine that is a failure. Obama recognizes what most leading economists have been saying for decades, that we have reached the limits of the Reagan policies of neolibralism. We are now at a stage where we need economic leadership to fix crumbling infrastructure, a failed school system, an unjust health care system, and most importantly an ineffective economy.

Think about it, and if you are not smart enough, listen to those who are and vote Obama.

Clinton praising Obama for picking Biden? I want to believe her so much, but, sincerity and telling the truth aren't exactly her strong suits.

Pay attention PUMA, your queen is talking.

I, for one, am very glad he did not pick Hillary. While she would be 'qualified', she does not have the temperment to be in the #2 spot. When he is President, he should make her head of Health and Human Services (Secretary of State would be just as bad as VP< the wrong temperment) while Colin Powell is brought back as Secretary of State.

vvv: Obama/Biden??????????????????????????????????????
To Melli: Hillarys "3 o'clock" was rude. But she sould not be ashamed??????to

McCain may have experience, but he has zero competence. Obama has some experience, and is more competent than all Republicans put together. I choose competence over experience any day.

Just remembr that minorities become majority in 2042 or soon after that.. Republicans days are limited. Dems will rule.. freedom to chose if you want to have baby or not... freedom to mary your partner, whatever sex, shift of weath from greedy rich to poor peopel who deserve health care and good jobs. Go Democrat party!

Melli–what do you mean? Wasn't it Hillary that pulled the 3:00 stunt? I haven't seen Obama be anything but kind to Hillary. He has let her have her "voice" at the convention.

What is more dysfunctional than the Clinton's.
They're so American its scary.

I think Obama has made the right choice. Hillary was aware that she does not deserve the VP spot. I hope she will get the secretary of Kitchen sink.

well..McCain, older than Bush, Bush can not judge what's he doing for America! All went wrong! McCain older than Bush, it is simply, can he judge himslef his age!
I am not taling about experience, Any one can get any experience , any one became older! it does not mean, if you are old, you can be right everythings?

I wanna hear for any argument!

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 !

Smart Choice Of Informed Democrats !!!!

people, clinton never wanted VP. She will have much more power and influence as a very important cabinet position. You think McCain will give her a slot in his?

I think this is funny... Hillary put out a manufactured statement of praise but you know she is really thinking that she got the shaft... Poor Hillary...

Melli, and VVV get over it please life is too short! VVV we are suppose to have more experience in the white house and look where it has got us! In two wars and about to be a third war with Russia if we are not careful. Melli you looked to far into what was really done get over it! stop being so judgemental! or be judge yourself by the one and only ashame on you!! This was a great chose for the VP he has the experience that Obama needed. Biden just as Hiliary Clinton critize Obama in the beginning but that is what they were suppose to do it is a race for the presidency idiots! what are they suppose to to drink tea and eat cookies with each other? America needs to get a grip!!

Hillary has been more loyal to Obama than any of them have been to her. She was not vetted by him although she won more votes than he did in the primaries.

She is the best qualified to be President and Joe Biden does not help erase that fact. She gets my vote in November.

The truth is McCain has lost his Maverick image catering to the extreme right wing of the Conservative base and now he has lost any perceived advantage in Natioinal Defence.

McCain has an empty cupboard when it comes to who he would choose to be in his cabinet and as his advisors with nothing but lobbyists and the likes of Phil Gramm.

Obama has an unlimited supply of informed and capable people to choose for his cabinet including Hagel.

There may be hope yet for Americans both domestically and Internationaly.

Obama selects old (65 years) white guy who looks like McCains bro.. – good job. Hillary is gracious 'cause she plans to be running against the Republicans in 2012.

Is it just me or are her words kinda robotic?

I just hope the PUMAs will start listening to her.

Clinton just earned herself a $25.00 donation from me...thanks Hill go Obama/Biden..

CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS JOHN MCCAIN'S "EXPERIANCE"? how is he a maverick when he voted 95% of the time with Bush? he and Bush have made out on stage for God sakes...yet their against gay marriage

Good job Hillary.

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

McCain's personal nurse is probably administering smelling salts with his dish of prunes and Vicks Vaporub this morning. He's gonna be filling the next week with more Geezer Gaffes. Notice how he decompensates as the Obama campaign hammers him? Can't remember how many homes he owns? Can't remember Czechoslovakia isn't a country? Can't remember Iran and Iraq don't share a common border? Ok McCain, let's try something a little tamer: what's your favorite color?

Geezer Gaffer McCain.

Obama once again has shown high intelligence and grace in the way he is handling a huge responsibility to all of us for the next four years!

It's just as well that you weren't picked for Vice-President, Hillary. They would only blame you for the ticket's loss – now you're free and clear for 2012 should Barack not win.

McCain gets my vote now with this VP pick. It should have been Hillary. O well. Obama's loss in November.

Not smart Obama. You probably just lost the votes of Hillary supporters!
The fact that you didn't even consider Hillary your bad judgement.
I am voting McCain.

It's crazy because Hillary would have selected Obama as VP just to unify the party. On the other hand Obama gave Hillary the middle finger and said forget her and her supporters they will get over it.

Sorry Obama I will not get over it until you lose to Mccain, that will be my biggest victory.

McCain just got my vote. I'm sure he will pick a younger VP in case something happens to him. If something happens to flip-flopping inexperienced Obama, we will get saddled with old man Biden (the Washington insider who hardly got any votes during the primary season).

What a joke this 2008 election is. Both parties had some good choices and this is what we get to choose from? I feel more comfortable by going with the Maverick, John McCain.

Hillary Clinton is a better person then Obama.

I wonder if the Obama's would have supporter Sen. Clintion the way she is supporting her. Can't see Michelle campaining for Hillary.

Still voting for Obama

I BELIEVE HER, SHE SHOWS RESPECT TO SEN OBAMA.DUNN CARE WHAT THE DNC DOES BUT AFTER ALL I'D RATHER SIT ANY DEM IN THE W.H THAN 8 YEARS OF Wc CAIN!!

WE 'LL GET OUR OWN BACK IN 2012 WITH HRC.
FOR NOW ITS O/BIDEN 08 – Pave The Way

Once again Obama supporters is so stupid they gave that man some money thinking they were going to be first people to hear who he selected has VP. Unfortunely they were the last people to know.

Yes...McCain has more experience...more bad experience and bad judgement!

Hillary will have a special role on his cabinet. Her personality is just too strong to be a VP...not that she cannot help in shaping the future of America though.

Democrats '08!

On a side-noite....if McCain picks Romney, so much for the Biden attack on Obama, as McCain and Romney clashed several times....

I believe this is a show of unity. I think you will see the other contenders for the VP spot congratulate Senator Obama for his pick. Biden is an excellent choice.

Obama / Biden '08!

Obama picked Biden only because of his foreign policy experience but could have made history by selecting Hillary Clinton. The democratic ticket is a very liberal ticket.The selection of the loose lipped Biden will push me to vote Republican because I think what he has in foreign policy experience he lacks in economic experience, something our country needs bad now.

OBAMA you think that your 3 o` clock is funny

ok if its funny:

SEE ME and other Hillary supporters ON NOVEMBER that will vote FOR JOHN MCCAIN... ???

Well, the Biden pick just sealed the deal for me! I will be voting McCain now for sure. Had he picked Hillary I might have "come back in the fold", but now I'm gone! This ticket is the same old, same old Washington politics with two men trying to lead. Shame on you Obama for not being more progressive. Bring on the Republicans for 4 more years because the Dems just lost!!

OBAMA/BIDEN Joe Biden has just as much experience and is way better than mccain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank god it wasnt hillary the republicans would have a field day with her

Did they send out the text message? Does Biden know what a text message is?

Will all you Republicans stop pretending to be Democrats changing minds? Who are you fooling? 90% of you are secretly trying to raise a non issue.

Great comment Hillary! She is one of the greatest Senators and would have been the Greatest President this country ever had. She described Sen. Biden as exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant – she described herself. When push came to shove, Obama picked one of the Good Old Boys – Obama for change?? Obama lost my vote – I guess politics will never change – they are so afraid to take advice from a WOMAN! I was hoping we could get over race/gender all at once. To much to ask for!

Keating 5 is not the experience we need.

O & Joe 2008

What shes really saying is now they are two smooth talkers who will tell the people anything to get elected. McCain/Romney will welcome all Hillary voters on board the winning ticket. Again congrats to Obama for making things easy with his pick.

Biden came from poor family, still takes train to his home in Delaware (not a private jut like the McCain's) and he is definietly one of us!! I love this guy. He doesn't need to pretend to undestand working people issues like Mit and McCain because he is one of us.

Melli and VW, go vote for whoever you want. If you were true Hillary supporters instead of Rush Limbaugh plants, or just dealing with emotional sour grapes, you'd respect her opinion, her values that you profess to admire, and vote for Obama, even if you had to hold your nose in the process. You show your true colors with posts like this - and that makes you irrelevant.

hillary was obamas only best chance to win. you blew it dummy, and now we know what you would do if you could win. bad decisions! mccain wins, god help us. hillary 2012

Thank you hillary and great choice Obama. Lets all unite together!

did any one actually see her lips moving when she made this statement??????????????????

Mccain will bring all his WAR experience!!!!!

wv, Yea but What type of experience does McCain have? Everything that glitter aint gold.

Excellent comment. Hillary for Secretary of State, please! Obama should announce this now....

I'm glad that CLinton is being true to her word and acting like a loyal Democrat instead of a sore loser. I am sure that she respects Biden for all his work, dedication, and service, as we all should.

Her supporters could learn a thing or two from her about the bigger picture, priorities, and keeping focus on what matters, which is getting republicans out of the White House (and I say this as a life-long independent). I hope they learn something from her gracious response.

Yea, i'm gonna vote experience too. I mean 20 years as a do nothing senator other than pander and vote against Martin Luther King day because he didn't know who the guy was.

I'm gonna vote for a guy who claims 5million a year isn't rich and doesn't know how many houses he owns.

I'm gonna vote for a guy who has no clue on the value of a dollar and doesn't seem to care to keep track of his personal property.

Yea Im gonna vote for McCain who has experience being tortured but is still clueless on finance, personal property management, and does nothing due to pride.

Vote McCain, he'll ship your dollar to iraq and refuse to spend your money in america due to his "earmark" issue

Hey sour pusses, vote for whom ever you whish but stop throwing that I'll vote for Mcshame in our face. You are not a true democrats and you have no intrest in what's best for the country. Stop crying and it's time you got over yourself.

I agree with Melli. Obama IS rude. Walking away from Hillary's 18,000,000 votes is over-the-top rude. I will vote for McCain.

Experience? Honestly, who's ready to be the President of the United States? I don't think any presidential race has any good picks anyway, it's always only the lesser of two evils.

All my life a democrat. I will vote Mc Cain! He's my hero , a great American and has more experience.

Obama should have picked Hillary. Bidden's rambling verbose behavior will get us destroyed in November. Maybe we will pick a winning team in 08!

Here come the Hillary whiners. They would rather see the senile, war monger along with the slick Romney- in- the- waiting continue to pull this country down. I do think Clinton would be ideal in the cabinet or some high position. She, Bil, and her cult followers made it nearly impossible for him to select her as VP. But they'll never get that.

I was very sorry to learn that Obama had not EVEN considered Hillary Clinton as a Vice Presidential candidate, which to me shows you can't believe what comes out of his mouth, as he certainly led us to believe that he was considering her. I know there is a large group of Hillary backers that have stated their opinions loudly and I am sure he has looked at them and tried to figure out how he can now get them to back him...........I just wonder if he has ever realized just how many of us still (and now definately) won't support him ONLY we have never been poled and aren't as outspoken as the others. Our one vote counts just as much as those who have been so vocal. My only hope to vote for him came when he picked Hillary as his running mate, now my and my husband's only option is to vote for John McCain. We have been lifelong Democrats and yet this was my first year to ever get so involved with following the election process and now I feel that I can't even vote for a Democrat.........to me it is so sad. Thank you for listening "geo in Kokomo"

I hope that the Obama supporters will stop equating what some of Hillary's fanatical supporters say with what Hillary states. Obviously Hillary is fine with his choice of Biden, in contrast to many of her supporters. If Obama loses this time, PLEASE don't take it out on Hillary in 2012, since obviously she doesn't agree with the PUMA crowd, just as Obama doesn't agree with some of his fanatical supporters who continue to trash Hillary. And remember Biden stated the same "nasty" thing that Hillary did in the primaries, that Obama was not ready. The choice of Biden shows that Obama saw some truth in this, and having Biden by his side will be helpful in preventing any mistakes that might come from inexperience. Obama IS intelligent, but just needed someone more seasoned by his side. And he will be better than GW in the sense that he will listen to people who challenge his thinking.

I’m not an Obama supporter, nonetheless, I felt relieved of the fact that Joe Biden is to be his VP running mate.
The main reason I say this is, should McCain lose, there will still be someone with good experience at the leadership.

vvv...biden has more experience than mccain by almost 10 years.

I will write Hillary in...........what a stupid decision Obama has made.........what a joke!

Well He didnt choose Sen Clinton, So I now can't choose him!

Mc Cain or Writing in Hillary Here.
it looks like 4 more years of bush policies are better than Obama
Obama lost the campaign himself no one to blame but himself

I think if Obama gets in he has a big role for Hillary in his cabinet
like maybe Secretary of state or attorney General or something to do with health care
I really think hillary would prefer a more working role and they may have even talked about this after the primaries
He owes her at least that
I think Biden was a good choice for VP
Obama..Biden08

What comes to mind when one mentions Panamanian McCain?

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (unresolved).

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

McCain must well select Hilary as this VP to win the election . Obama's choice of VP shown that he is going for bust. How can a intelligent man make such a stupid move. Even money is better to have no money.

Hillary should be the named to the Supreme Court by President Obama.

I would vote for a Biden-Clinton ticket. Or a Clinton-Biden ticket but never for an Obama ticket. Too liberal. My guess is that most of Pennsylvania, except for the Philly-crats will either sit this one out or go for McCain. We still remember the put down that Obama gave us during the primary.

The advantage of being an Independent is that I am free to vote my mind, not my party.

Biden–Old politics, old jokes, old money. looks older than McCain. One worse would have been Ted Kennedy. Good luck, Dems, at least you have someone who can talk without stuttering!

Hillary's happiness is good news for Obama.., I think.

Thank you, Sen. Clinton.

OBAMA / BIDEN 08!!!! wow , looks good to me.

McCain is afraid, very afraid now. Joe can speak very well about the real John McCain. We are in high gear now rolling to a big win in November.

Well said, Senator Clinton. Too bad this will fall on deaf ears from the PUMAs, who claim to support you, but really couldn't give a darn about what you actually have to say.

Great comment Hillary! The Best Senator and would have been the greatest President this country ever had. When she described Sen. Biden as exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant she described herself. as for Obama nothing new about him – when push came, he pick one of the good old boys – what about change? Maybe this woman would have showed him up???? Vote for Obama – lost my vote.

CNN and other media outlets ruined her chances for the nomination and her chances for Vice-President. I have always voted Democrat...but no longer.

Don't worry Clinton- you can use your skills to save us later after Obama wrecks this country even more...

I will vote McCain! He has more experience.

... whereas McCain's VP will be waiting in the wings to step into the presidency.

Obama kicked at Hillary. His "3 o'clock" was rude. He should be ashamed.

Obama should go to McCain and ask to be his running mate. Then drop from the race for President. This will insure his," Obama's" Presidency and govern this great country. Why? Because McCain will be impeached or die of stress from all the mess he creates between the parties.

The dynamci duo that a worn out one composed of Maccain and certainly Rummy will fight. But what does America needs at this crucial moment \, and the beginning of a new millenium where imagination, inspiration need to combine with experience to move to the pace of the world. OBama/Biden is certain a formidable dynamic duo that will move America to the top of the world. Believe it or choose four other doom year where war hawks will continue to plague both the national and the international scenes
Nganenu

I'll just bet Hillary's behind Biden's pick like she was for Obama....with friends like that who needs the Republicans slimming on you! Guess now the 18 million??? PUMA's will REALLY go nuts By the way NOBODY cares if you vote McCain08...Hillary12 is a DREAM now!!!!

Good luck Hillary! It was great and exciting hoping that you were the one. I'm proud to stand with you as a woman, you are a credit to our gender. From this you have learned that one woman can not count on another to help her in any quest, this is sad to say but so true. Its no wonder that we are stepped on and over time after time, but I thank you for keeping up the good fight.

18 million voters, 18 million voters, 18 million voters......this is all i hear from all you spoiled ignorant Hillary brats. I have a question for you, if there were REALLY still 18 million of you, why cant you come up with 25 MILLION dollars to help pay off her debt? Seems as though it would be an easy task to me. Stop clinging on to that number, because some people have made a wise decision to support their party regardless of what happened in the primaries, and have realized the last 8 years is too long to suffer another 4 years of the same. You need to realize this election is bigger than Sen Clinton and Sen Obama, but i guess only Sen Obama supporters are willing to acknowledge that. I wonder how many of you have played sports as a child and lost. I hope you dont teach your kids to be the same way. Just shameful to say the least....

Even Hillary understands that Biden would be a much better choice for Obama than she would.

Too bad many of her supporters still insist on voting out of ignorance. I'm so sick of this "Oh, if she's not chosen, I'm voting for McSame."

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO VOTING BASED ON THE ISSUES!!!
What they fail to understand is that this election is NOT about Hillary, or Barack, or about their hurt feelings. It's about doing what's in the best interest of this country!

I can't stand the Clintons, but if she had won instead of Obama, I would have had to bite the bullet and vote for her knowing that a McCain presidency would set this country back 40 years.
It's time for people to GROW UP and understand what's really at stake here.

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

Well said Hillary! Let's hope you mean it. Obama was very wise in not choosing Clinton as his running mate. She wasn't even vetted. Ouch! She has however been given a position of prominence at the Convention that should suffice. The air of change is trully here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Won't be long before the pumas come out so I'm launching a preemtive strike.

Dear puma pinheads...

Yes yes we know your whole spiel already, vote mccain and then clinton in 12...

Well.. Here's your problem... 1/2 of the voters supported Clinton, half Obama...

Can you guess what will happen in 12 if you DID manage to turn the election... No, didn't think so.. so i will spell it out for you... Hillary loses either the Nomination again or the general, do to not having the support of those who sought change in 08.

Face facts... She lost... She lost the VP slot, buck up, shut up, vote for change Now, bring this country back to it's place as the leader it should be.

Or..

be spitful, and vote for McCain... so you can watch your house get forclosed on, you can Try to raise a Child on a min. wage that will never raise, and you will have to raise that child because abortion will become Illegal, watch your older childern go off to fight wars and Die for no good reason.

But Hey... you sure showed Obama.. how dear he, the underdog, win the nomination over the "sure thing".

You puma's make me sick.

This is a very sound and wise choice the rest of the world is watching America dont make another mistake and vote again for the wrong person.

Its Obama & Biden who deserve your support, democrats get behind them Hillary supporters if you vote for McCain you will not get Hillary in 2012 because McCain will be the incumbent with fours years behind him. This is your time to do what is write for your country and what is write for the world.

For once thing about the impact your vote has on the world and make sure its Obama and Biden. They a strong and they are solid

May be if she and her husband had'nt been so vicious and vindictive towards Obama, Obama would have taken a chance on Hillary and Bill Clinton, but now she has a little and I do mean a little of an attitude adjustment, but I'm sure she will be in Obama's presidential cabinet.

I am a PUMA and I can vote for who I want. I am going to try to help sink Obama and the entire Democratic Party. Don't threaten me with the obvious harm to Hillary's political career or with the impact of a McCain presidency on my children, grandchildren, our country, the world at large.

Reality: I am actually a Republican, moronic enough to think that Rush as a smart, patriotic American. I have no ethics. I hate Hillary Clinton even more than I hate Bill Clinton. My real goal is to help split the Democratic Party.

Believe me at your own risk.

McCain will have to pick Romney. LOL

Love it John

GOP will split

I supported Clinton for President. Because I was among those who encouraged her to continue her campaign, I believe I should help pay her debt. I still believe she would be a great President.

However, I'm not a pouting child. My priorities are to stop the damage that has been done to our country for the last 7 years. Republican policies have undermined our constitutional balance of powers, crippled our economy, destroyed relationships with our allies, reduced our military strength, failed our injured soldiers, and used the power of their offices to expose a covert CIA agent for political payback. Our national security suffered a serious betrayal for nothing more than a critical editorial. If that doesn't frighten you, it should.

This Clinton supporter will support Sen. Clinton by voting and campaigning for Obama/Biden. Our nation is at risk right now, perhaps more than ever.

Biden was the only Democratic candidate who had a plan for Iraq, but the focus has switched due to present diplomatic moves toward withdrawal. His experience points up Obam's lack of experience. The race will be close with a possible decline of the Democratic Party if Obama WINS due to a sizeable portion of disenchanted party members.

She's a loyal democrat . . . .

As you said Clinton, You have done enough.

America needs a leader, not someone in charge of the pitty party

Time to let it go.

Bidden was and is more qualified than you.

LOL to all who question this powerhouse ticket.

O/B 08,12

Thank you HILLARY!

Sen Clinton is doing to right thing and delivering the party line.
I respect Sen Obama's decision, but now I get to have my voice. Come November I intend to be a registered independent voting for McCain. And I would like to see Sen Clinton in 2012.

Baloney.

See Hillarites, even your candadite likes the choice. Now follow her lead if you are a true supporter and do as she says. But no, you are phonies and will be bitter and continue to cry like babies. While you are screaming about writing her name in, how about you inflated so called 18 million voters chip in a couple of bucks each and help her out. No matter how much you protest, even if you vote for someone who is totally agianst your beliefs, who detest your principles and who will do as they have always done when they (the repubs) get into office, there are mor eof us who love Obama and now Biden then more of you who dislike both of those great men. And as for you who say he lost the Latino vote, if you are a true Democrat, you would support the one person who is a Democrat. So if your choice is not to vote for Obama/Biden, you had no intention of voting for him anyway. As the common statement on a scratch off ticket, You are not a winner, thank you for playing, please try again

Obama/Biden 08 and 12

Alright all PUMA's and Hillary supporters, let's get it togther and back the Obama/Biden ticket. Quit the "crying foul", it's getting old!!!

Joe Biden is a good person no doubt on that !!!!!!!!!
Why Obama choice Biden because he is scared of GOP attacks
Only Bill Clinton never scared of GOP, GOP scared of Clintons
Obama proved again he doesn’t have experience he has to depend on some one
For us country is first next is the party
Hillary 2012 / Mc Cain 2008

Mr. Obama needs all the help he can get. Lacking the qualifications and experience to be President, Mr. Obama definitely needs someone at his side to tell him what to do, and this career Washington insider is just the guy to do it. Although Mr. Biden was very critical of Mr. Obama during the primaries, perhaps he will hide his real feelings until after the election.

Sadly for the DNC, the choice of Mr. Biden does not help their nominee win, as, Mr. Obama is still at the top of the ticket. Praise Mr. Biden all you want, but he is not running for President and he won’t be on stage to prompt answers out of Mr. Obama’s stuttering mouth during the debates. When the VP nominee is hugely more qualified than the Presidential nominee, something is wrong.

Hillary is a politician, she knows the game and she wants to stay in the game. She will continue to do and say the right things.

Joe who?

Now if only her PUMA supporters would join in. But they'd be satisfied only with Hillary Clinton's unanimous election in which only they could vote. Given their poisonous attitude, if she does run in 2012, she might just find that the PUMAs are the only ones voting for her.

I don't believe I could have picked Biden for my running mate. Other than his views on the war I think he is a Dick Cheney in a Democrats wool.

Aren't the Dems losing a valuable link in the Senate? Joe Biden has so much seniority and influence-Who will take his place? I guess we should get ready for another Bush/Cheney set-up since Biden is much more qualified that Barry to be POTUS. Kinda like Shari Lewis and Lambchop.

This just proves that Obama even knows his weaknesses. The claim that he always makes right decisions will also wear off with time. He opposed the surge which was the wrong decision. He couldn't even follow through on some inner circle groupie plan that as faithful followers they would be text messaged on the VP choice before the media reported it. Just another failed Obama plan!

i am glad she spoke up for obama's chioce. she should strongly criticize her puma clan for acting like the idiots they are. she needs to tell them where she stands and without obama's 18.5mill votes she will never be elected for any office going forward. we are either a team or they need to go away. her team lost the race and have made jokes of themselves in the losing prosess. McCain deserves the whiners!

I will never vote for obama now – I was waiting to see if he had the "good judgement and sense" to make right the way Hillary was treated. picking Biden over Hillary was the ultimate slap in the face to women – I guess HE REALLY SHOWED US !!!!

Bumper sticker across the land:

Bo Joe

Got my Bo Joe working in '08

I have to admire that lady, if I were her I would probably tell Obama to
stick it you know where. It's not so much that he didn't pick her,
it's the fact she was not even considered. If Obama thinks Biden
is going to help him win the White House, he is dead WRONG.
People just DO NOT want Obama as their President. He lost the.,
Clinton voters, because he is so pompus and arrigant. He is so cocky
I cannot stand the man. NO OBAMA..

I awoke to the news that Barack decided to pick J. Biden??
I supported Hillary Clinton 100%. I feel that women still have to work twice as hard as men to get where they want to be. They must also climb over several dung piles,and wipe an awful lot of mud off.
God Bless Hillary, she still supports the party and is able to smile while doing it.
I have always voted as a Democrat. I do not see myself voting for a Republican.
I will find it very hard to go vote at all this year. Hillary should have been given first choice, and maybe she was. I will continue to watch and gather information on Barack and Joe, but...
I don't think I will make the trip to the voting booth this year. I will save my gas!
Vickie

That must have KILLED her, especially since she was NOT even considered. Isn't he the guy that said Obama was 'clean'?

My only reason for voting for John McCain and my only reason for not voting for Barack Obama

It is in my opinion that times are very tough in America and taxes are only to increase in our near future. And because of this I have come to the conclusion that if I voted for the man I know, that will have the capability of bringing all parties together for one common cause for the better good of this country, is Barack Obama. After giving it great thought and taking into consideration Barack's age opposed to John McCains age, that it would be in the best interest for this country to elect John McCain as president of the United States for the following reasons:

1. He will bring so much quagmire to the political arena in DC that his tension and stress level will take him out before the end of his first term in office,

2. The American people will not have to pay the ungodly amounts of millions of dollars that it will cost to stand guard over Barack Obama after his presidential term is over till the end of his life, which in my opinion will be one of the most costly Secret Service endeavor to protect this man for many many years to come. So vote for John McCain.

Daniel D. Heagerty

Not even venting HRC does it for me. I won't vote for Obama . If she wasn't even vented she could not have been on his short list. I hope Mc Cain picks a women now but has my vote anyway.

Sure she does. (wink, wink) McCain 2008

What a crock!!! What happened to change??? What happened to not wanting to stay with the "old" politics...what happened to "I voted against the war?"

The bringing aboard of Joe Biden as VP has negated all the campaign rhetoric that was shoved down the voter’s throats in the primaries.

I knew BHO was a fake, just another slick talking politician then and his choice for VP puts credence in that belief.

MORE than ever will I now vote McCain.

Reading through the lines here is what Hillary really meant: Thank God he picked that loser to go down with his sinking ship" Hillary in 2012

My bet is that Obama has already discussed long ago with HRC a high position in his administration something like Secretary of State or the Supreme court. My first choice would be Secretary of State especially with Bill Clinton along.

Thank you Hillary Clinton. I hope you are sincere in your statement. It is high time for the party to unite. Everyone knows that Senator Biden is a great pick. God bless you for your efforts. Now let us concentrate on the issues and get these men in the White House.

Q: Mr. McCain, what are your views on the economy?
A: Well...as a POW, we cut spending and it was all good (cheers from repub audience)
Q: Mr. McCain, what will a McCain foreign policy admin look like?
A: Can I tell a story real quick?...well as a POW, the guard will come around with beef and I will negotiate for chicken...Yes! I can really negotiate foreign policy. ( loud applause from repub crowd)
Mr McCain: are we gonna get to that fifth question? You know, the one about abortion and orphans?...I really don't want to forget; I am really in the zone.
Q: what are your views on abortion?
A: another story real quick? ...well When CIndy arrived from a visit from my POW camp, she had a black baby...don't forget the other prisoners were negros...so I wondered; should we abort or keep?...well we kept! and therefore, not only am I a POW, but also PRO-LIFE (jumping ovation from repub audience)

CLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!....interviewer walks off stage with the crowd stunned...and Mr McCain recovering...

Vote Ron Paul…not!

She forgot to mention: I am done carrying men on my coatails so good luck to them they will need it. hahahaha

Hillary,we love you.Stay strong...we are not givng up!!!The democratic party needs to respect women....they need to understand that we will not be pushed aside.....thye need to understand that they cannot win elections without us....

Translation – I hope you lose you arrogant turd.

PUMA!!!

Clinton 2012

The absolute TRUTH!

Always doing what's in the best interest of the party, you know that statement was hard to make. I'm just afraid the ticket won't be energizing to the base. I like Biden, but can you imagine the enormity of an Obama/Clinton ticket? Say what you will about Clinton's negatives, she brings the experience and historical flavor to the ticket. Imagine those who would have wanted to be part of the history in turning out to vote. To hear she wasn't even vetted, but was rather given lip service. My support is tepid at best.

Democrats have a way of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. This may yet prove to be the latest example.

Is it really that the only democratic ticket that could win in Nov, that is Clinton/Obama, is going down the drain now?

Oh, well.

I HOPE SHE MEANS IT AND WILL HELP WHOLE HEARTEDLY THIS TICKET TO BE ELECTED.

Hillary Clinton is a fool. The Democratic Party turned its back on her and pretty much spit in her face. She and President Clinton both should distance themselves from the party. The Obama/Biden ticket is going to be a disaster whether they win or lose. The less the Clintons have to do with it the better.

Thank you Hillary Clinton, you have spoken well, we are all Democrats
................................................................................................................................

One-House...One-Spouse.....Obama/Biden 08

Now get all of your Jim Jones kool-aid drinking followers to come to the same conclusion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THATS RIGHT!!!

HILARY VOTERS FOR OBAMA!!

Keep ATTACKING John "TPII" McSame, Its working!!

OBAMA 08!!

P.S. TPII (Pronounced Tippi) = Takes Pride In Ignorance

Of course she praises his pick. She knows that Obama can't win without her and that she can easily beat McCain in 4 years.

GO HILLARY!

I dont buy it. Hillary does not support Obama. I dont support Obama.
And one more SLAP at 3am from Obama on the TM. Cant believe it.

I am a supporter of Hillary Clinton and like her more centered position. Since she did not win the nomination and Obama the loser did not pick her for VP........

I am in for McCain! He is a closer to center guy and I will never vote for Obama. He said he was about "change" and then picked Biden (who is so not change) and not Hillary so McCain now gets my vote.
