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'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.

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.

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?

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!

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

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.

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.

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. Obama apparently knows his history.
