Whatever happened to the text or emails?
Awesome!
Thank you CNN, for ruining the whole text message thing. Who are these "two sources" who keep ruining everything tonight? God dammit. I wanted to wake up and be surprised.
CNN, the most nosy name in news.
SO???
WRITE in HILLARY...
I WILLNOT VOTE Obama
1st time not voting for a democrate since 1981.
I would rather have 8 more years of Bush than 4 years of Obama
This is what we need; a "pitbull" who's not afraid to go after McBush and his cronies!
Bring it on home, Biden! For those choosing NOT to vote, if you don't participate, you should have no say about what goes on in this country and you give up your privilege to be an American. Vote!
Wonderful selection for Barack Obama. He's shown us now from his first most important decision during his campaign for President of the United States that he is indeed ready to lead the country.
Congratulations Obama, you have a good man, I wanted you two to team up from the first debate. Yes we can !!!!!
so much for the text message gimmick.
Now for the stream of pro-Hillary absurdity...
In any case.
Obama/Biden 08!!!
now that I know the vp choice, as a true democrat, I will vote republican.
My prayers have been answered! McSame can't hold a candle on foreign affairs with Biden nor can anyone he picks come close. Biden will eat them both for breakfast. This is now going to be fun.
As a Republican may I be the first to say. YES!!!!!!!!
I'm not doubting CNN, but it's only legit when Obama sends me the text. It's 12:48 A. M. Let Larry go to sleep.
It sucks how Obama tried to use Hillary Clinton, then pickd Biden.
He just lost my vote.
Prepare for four more years of Republican lead government. What an idiotic move for Obama.
Mccain '08
African Americans for Mccain
Duck and cover..here comes the acid-spewing Hill supporters and PUMAS in 3...2...1...
INCOMIIIINNNGGG!
Obama/Biden 08'
Wooo Hooo!
Well the Democrats are screwed now. The Dem. ticket now has two very intelligent men. America is so used to idiots running our country that we do not know how to vote for smart guys.
Oh great, he picks the guy that called him inexperienced... The man that said that the presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training. Joe Biden, The man who was knocked off the 1988 campaign due to a plagiarism scandal.
Wonderful Choice
So much for Obama's big Text Message roll out...
I like, I like>>>>>>>CHANGE FOR A BETTER AMERICA - FOR YOU SKEPTICS!
nice choice. lets win the erection
Hey! Where is our text message about it?
Well, how about that. I post in the article about Biden being the front-runner, and seconds later he is the VP. Like I said before, his experience in foreign policy and willingness to be the attack dog can only help, though I am a bit worried that he may undermine the idea of "change." Even so, OBAMA/BIDEN 08!
Thank God it's not Hillary
The media is so desperate of news that they are now manufecturing their own news out of frustration!
I just signed up on the McCain web site - Democrats for McCain.
I supported Hillary Clinton throughout the primaries. There is absolutely no chance I will consider BO now.
It's some comfort that thousands more will do the same.
Wow, first to comment
Really? Quite interesting.
Well doesn't that render my signing up for the text absolutely useless. Way to ruin things CNN.
Say goodbye to my Dem vote. What a sorry sorry choice out of all the candidates.
Well nothing against Joe Biden but the wrong person is at the top of the ticket. Won't vote for Obama-already had an OJT president. He's windy, boring and terribly stuck on himself. Last thing I want to hear or see is OBee reading a long speech and /or stamering through questions in a debate. Oh yes, I'm a Hillary supporter. Go McCain!
Please Oh Lord let this be true!
Obama/Biden '08!!!
He's a wonderful pick!!! Oustanding!!!!
CNN, you are idiots.
big mistake
Obama/Biden 08 is a fantastic ticket.
CNN confirms: Obama will lose the election
Hillary or McCain '08
I really think Hillary would have guaranteed the nomination. I just wouldn't want Biden for my President.
Where is the integrity of CNN to allow Obama to let his supporters know before everyone else?
And now Obama has lost in November. I will vote for McCain. He could have done the right thing and chose Hillary but his ego and arrogance rule his self centered world. No he can't.. No he won't in November. Back to being an Independent for me.
NOBAMA!
PUMA
Smart choice,Lets see that smart mouthed Rove start some BS with him,Joe will cold cock his a$$.
Probably a good choice. Biden's foreign policy experience could give Obama a needed boost.
Is this the change and new school, a.k.a., no Washington insiders, that Obama promised us? While I like Biden, he has been on the D.C. scene for decades and voted for the war in Iraq. Just another example of Obama's flip-flop personality. Oh well, kiss the election goodbye, Senators Obama and Biden.
perfect choice OBAMA 08!
While I like Biden, he's not Hillary Clinton and so many of us are left with no choice now, but to vote for McCain. Kennedy and Kerry began this story long, long ago priming Obama and using their influence to turn him into the Democratic Nominee, all the while betraying Hillary Clinton along the way. In the end they lost so many of us...
GRAVITAS!
This was the best choice, this guy Biden is an attack dog, and nothings gets by him.
The real fight begins today..
Hillary will be McCain's running mate.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE GONNA LOSE SO BAD!!!!!
Well I hope that Obama stays clean for him.
Great....my two favorite candidates on the same ballot.
This choice just cost him the election. If he had chosen Hillary, they would have been unbeatable. So sad.
Sweet sweet candy!!!!
Take back America '08!
Obama/Biden!
No VP Clinton...No vote for obama.
MCCAIN 2008!!!!!!!!!
HILLARY 2012!!!!!!!!
I knew it!
Obama/Biden brings a smile to my face -– yes!!!!!
barack and joe take back the white house
HO HUM boring and predictable yaaawwwnnnnnnnn
Obama/Biden = A Dean Bimbo
Who can think Obama isn't ready to govern now. A sensible decision by a pragmatic, practical man.
A very good choice; the Americans should focus on what The Greatest President of America once said 'Whatever l do remain for or against me, l wish l could work for 26 hours a day before am gone...........' all for the services of America.........JFK
Now let us learn from this and get The Party united; no individual is greater than The Party....Let The Dems Party come first; other things could follow.
Obama/Biden!!!
Yes We Can!!!!!!!!!!!
Biden is a Trojan Horse.
He has praised McCain dozens and dozens of occasions.
He supported the Iraq war.
He is OLD Washington.
O my dear naive Obama, do you know what you're doing?!
This is my ticket!
Obama/Biden08
Obviously, but it would have been nice to allow the text message to go through first. This "scoop" just makes CNN look bad.
no Clinton no vote
Obviously, I'm extremely satisfied with this pick. I think Biden strenghthens the Democratic ticket and gives Obama strength in some of the areas he need help in.
WAY TO GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA "08"
Biden has a rascist streak that showed when he said you can’t go to a Seven-Eleven or Dunkin’ Donuts without an Indian accent, then said “I’m not joking.”
we'll see if this is true or not CNN.......
Yes!
I am just thrilled! I believe that Senator Biden adds the experience and knowledge to calm a nervous democratic party. The addition of Biden has strengthened the ticket, there is no doubt about it!
IM AN OBAMA SUPPORTER AND I MUST SAY I AM KIND OF DISAPPOINTED IN HIS SELECTION...I WAS HOPING THAT HE WOULD PICK GOV. KAINE FROM VIRGINIA...WELL IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE A CLOSE ELECTION
Great choice.
Good luck Obama, we'll support you who ever you choose as your running mate.
Obama'08
He blew it!!! Hillary would have gotten him elected, but now it just appears to be politics as usual.
Go Obama and Biden 2008!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS...... Now we're set.... ON TO DENVER .... EXCELLENT CHOICE Senator OBAMA... way to go....
This will help balance the ticket. Solid choice by Obama.
lol, he couldn’t even let the texters be the first to find out. he threw their phones under the bus.
haha anyone get a text??? whatever
This is our time Delaware!
um... what source?
If this is true then it is a huge mistake for Obama. There are die-hard supporters of Clinton that will never accept this. By doing this Obama has put his pride before the fall. This is going to split the party.
Lame.
where is my text??????????????
*********** OBAMA – BIDEN '08 ***************
Don't hate on Obama feminists and guys who wanted Hillary to be selected. She had too much baggage from the past and that included Bill and Obama knows it would have been one Republican distraction after another with her to stop the message of change with our economy, job losses, foreclosures, and getting our guys and gals out of Iraq before Russia attacks us. I'm so glad it's Biden, I could just sh!t!!
Wise Choice, Barack. We're behind you to the whitehouse!!!!
Obama-Biden '08!
Biden to the Brookings Institution in 2005: “We can call it quits and withdraw from Iraq. I think that would be a gigantic mistake. Or we can set a deadline for pulling out, which I fear will only encourage our enemies to wait us out — equally a mistake.”
Anyone is fine as long as it's not Hillary.
Hmmmm, where's my email? Oh gosh, Barak didn't tell us first? Oh, boo hoo.
Hmmm. Not an impressive decision. He picks an older white male professional politician. That's it? This is going to be a Republican cake walk. All McCain has to do is pick a conservitive female to seal the deal for a blowout. Just about any of the names being suggested could ensure a win, but the female would make it a landslide.
so much for the text message first. Leak, Leak.
I'm completely dissapointed on the V.P selection. I believe Mrs. clinton was the best choice. I'm now shifting my vote towards the republican party.
is this from the Obama campaign or is this one of those stories that will be retracted tomorrow because the sources were not credible?
You go guys!
Obama/biden all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama-Biden = Hillary 2012 !
Great decision
Actually, he hasn't named Biden yet. It is pretty clear that he will, but Obama hasn't said this. Name the sources.
Obama just lost the election!
Lewis Black ... that would be a HOOT!
no surprise after all. I would like to see how things goes in convention and Clinton supporters will react.. new polls will tell all..
Now McCain should select someone more conservative like Jindal or Romney (not so much) but not the pro ones..
I like Biden better than I like Obama. He has good foreign policy experience. Too bad he isn't the Democratic PRESIDENTIAL nominee, and not running mate. Still voting for McCain.
Another 4 years of a Republican White House and $5 a gallon gas by next summer.
Big mistake Obama, in my opinion. All this anticipation for Biden???????? What a waste of energy really, on the part of many who were waiting for someone to energize democrats. Congrats McCain you just won this election, democrats might as well realize this now.
To all Hillary supporters……………
Just remember in 2016 when and if Hillary wants to run she WILL need Obamas 18 million voters to help her win …………….
So be Very careful of what you wish for......One hand washes the other.
Democrats lets unite and get that IDIOT BUSH out of the White House!
Obama/Biden '08!
Happy day, happy day, happy day .
Absolutely just what we were looking/hoping for .
Welcom aboard Joe Biden
Obama we old love you and you are "the ONE" they got that right its nice they reminded up .Thanks McFor the draft
With all due respect, Senators, I'll be leaving the party.
He said he wasn't ready for the presidency.
But he'll be his running mate?
He will be behind in the polls by ten points by a week from today.
Have the geniuses figured out that the "text message" ploy was simply to collect their phone numbers to beg for money? LOL.
Obama/Biden = The Poser and The plagiarist
This is why people HATE The media ... I was looking for the the text and email ... I would have still tuned in to CNN ... CNN you're jerks
Yes, here we come. It's on and poppin! White House here we come. Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08, 12 What a wonderful ticket. I predicted it. Congrats! Let's party at the DNC next week.
This is the greatest thing ever. We Win!!!!
Hooray!
Doesn't Barry know that he cannot win the White House without carrying the South?
He stands virtually no chance with Biden, another northern liberal democrat, on the ticket.
What a buffoon.
Great!! As a lifelong Democrat, I know of a few skeletons in Biden's closet. Maybe he will help bring down The Obama and the hate-filled radicals who hi-jacked the Democratic Party. I will be doing my part. And for the Obamabots who keep insisting that PUMA Democrats pay down Hillary's debt. We can pay it down after the election. Right now our money is better spent supporting McCain. I am not bitter about Hillary losing. I am bitter about how Obama won. Obama and his cult must be stopped before they goose-step their way to the white house. That didn't work so well in Germany.
PUMA - Vote McCain
Tom Daschle
Great news!!!! This is one house that is for obama!!!!
Biden is the best man for the job just look at his record.
great decision barak! you guys "will be" the all time" best" team` in our countrys history!
I'll believe it when I get the text message. But I will laugh my head off if it turns out to be someone that the media wasn't even talking about. I honestly doubt CNN has really confirmed this, and is probably just "narrowing it down" because the other two guys are supposedly out of the running.
Congrads to Biden. He is a good pick. He has a lot of experience, can debate effectively off of the teleprompter, and he has a lot of spirit. He fills in some of Obama's gaps pretty well. They will be hard to beat.
I'm glad Obama made his decision based on who would truly be his best VP and bring the most to the table, instead of making a poll-based decision in order to appease all these PUMAs.
Come on CNN. Let Senator Obama tell us who he has selected. We know he isn't giving you a private scoop.
Thanks for making it easy to vote for McCain~
McGrumpy is in big, big trouble now.
Stupid Obama! Way to divide the party even more. Hillary would have been the best VP.
This is a perfect match. Why vote for that crazy republican anyways? He seriously said that he would have to get back to a reporter because he didn't know how many houses he owned. Can't wait for a crisis situation if that nut is elected in. Is he going to then say during a crisis: I am going to have to get back to you?
THIS IS GREAT! NOW WE CAN FOCUS ON OBAMA AND THE RACE PUTTING HILLARY AND "HER SUPPORTERS" (THOSE THAT INSIST ON MAKING THINGS HARDER FOR OBAMA AND THE DEM. PARTY AND PROBABLY WON'T VOTE FOR HIM ANYWAY). NOW THEY REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY FARTHER DEMOSTRATIONS OR PROTESTS WILL ONLY SERVE TO LABEL HILLARY AS A SPOILER. NOW EVERYTHING POINTS TO OBAMA AND THE UNDERSTANDING THAT EITHER YOU ARE TRULY WITH HIM OR AGAINST HIM AND CAN NO LONGER HIDE BEHIDE EXCUSES THAT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCES AT THIS POINT.
EITHER YOU VOTE OBAMA OR YOU DON'T, BUT EITHER WAY GET SOMEWHERE AND SHUT UP ABOUT HILLARY SHE IS OUT THIS TIME AND IF YOU CONTINUE TO FORCE HER ON US YOU CAN BE SURE THAT IT WILL NEVER GO GOOD FOR HER IN THE FUTURE AND IF YOU CONTINUE TO INTERFER WITH NEGATIVITY AGAINST OBAMA AND GOD FORBID HE LOSSES HILLARY IS SURLY DONE.
I SUGGEST "HILLARY SUPPORTERS ALL PITCH IN AND PAY HER DEBT, THE DEBT SHE GOT BECAUSE OF HER LOVE FOR YOU (SO SHE SAID" LOVE HER BACK IN MORE THAN WORDS SHOW THE MONEY! STOP NEEDING SO MUCH ATTENTION IT WILL ONLY TURN AGAINST YOU AS IT ALREADY HAS!
and this is where the Republicans say – "but, but, but McCain was a POW" – and the Obama campaign responds, "it's over, you're done."
alexa, you obviously are not a true democrat if you will vote against everything the democrats stand for.
pathetic.
I waffle back and forth between laughing so hard my side is aching, cussing and screaming at what has happened to the Democratic party, and wallowing in at least four more years of misery.
Bush was “The Decider.” Obama has promoted himself as “Decider II.”
Obviously, people haven’t learned from eight years of Bush’s incompetence. They apparently need at least four more years.
Obama & Biden = Laurel & Hardy

Guess Obama's campaign is over then. People, stick with PUMA. Hillary and a real leader in 2012.
umm.. how do we know this? did this come from the horses mouth? CNN is not revealing its source on this one..
Congrats to Obama. He has made a solid choice. Biden is a team
player who will put the interests of "real" Americans first. I look forward
to the next few months as the "rulers" of America frantically try to save
"their" fascist state. True "freedom" for literally millions of Americans is only a few months away. Go America!!!
Now let's see just how many people would rather choose the polar opposite of Hillary instead of the person who beat her running on the exact same platform. Health Care, Iraq, the economy, the two senators are very much the same breed when it comes to what they both think is best for the country, it's just too bad that so many people will choose to let their personal vendettas get in the way of ensuring that the change they hoped for from Hillary isn't accomplished by the man that beat her.
It's still speculation.
Anyone who is still a Hillary backer is a fool. You all are ruining the world. Get over it! She lost fair and square!
What a poor choice. I am a devout Clinton supporter and how can you not select her as vp? She won the popular democratic vote. How can you not select who somone who won more democrats votes? This was a huge mistake. You now have lost the majority of Hillary supporters. What a mistake. Party divided. Go PUMA. Hillary 2012.
I AM THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a fantastic team!
Obama/Biden 2008!
Obama/Biden '08 & '12.
Congratulations: Obama and Biden 2008.
A good choice for the country's economic and national security policies.
the best interests of my family comes before all else, and I am thus obligated to vote for the one candidate I know will be the best President: Senator Hillary Clinton
Good choice, Sen. Obama. Thank GOODNESS it wasn't Hillary. Not that we ever thought it would be. Now her 18 million bitter followers can go home to McBush... if that's what they want. If they truly want change and not spite, the Obama/Biden ticket welcomes them. If not, get lost!!
Doesnt matter, Obama is still WRONG for america.
Obama/Biden will never beat McCain/Romney.
Oh, Democrats– get a clue!
Biden? He's one of the biggest Wishington insiders of the democratic party, what happened to Obama's message of change?
I think Obama just lost my vote
He will not win! He should have put Hillary on the ticket!Go Hillary!!!
great going...no hillary!
This Will Be The Death Of The Democratic Party , This Democrat Is Joining The Surge Of Democrats Over To The Republican Party !!!
President John McCain 2008 !!!
with Hillary, obama could have had a chance........now, he cannot win in November....
SO much for that message of CHANGE and Washinton is broken. He picks a senator that was elected waaaaay backkkk in 1972. Obama, you broke your promise before even getting into the White House. You've lost my vote.
Yeah, Team Obama!!! Hurray for the GOOD GUYS!!
Sen. Biden is a great American, brings a lot of experience to the position, and won't take anything from the Republican Slime Machine.
WAKE UP, AMERICA... LET FREEDOM RING!!! IT WILL SOON BE INDEPENDANCE DAY FROM THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND THE START OF A NEW ERA FOR THE USA. GOD BLESS US, EVERYONE!!
VOTE SMART... NOT SENILE!!!!
Senator Obama just lost mine and another 9 milions votes ...
Whiners can complain all they want while they cry nearby their cell phones. Good job on getting the scoop on this story.
Those who don't support Obama at this stage are secretly working with the Republicans. Don't let them confuse you.
If they don't give their names, and addresses you must suspect them. Now they want to find fault with Biden. Tell them go to hell, no one is perfect.
Plagiarism......that is Biden's middle name.
I think Obama just gave McCain the presidency.
At least it's not Sharpton or Jackson.
If that's true, that's pretty lame that Obama didn't follow through to keep his commitment to text people. As a younger voter, that wanted Hillary for VP, I've waited to see him keep commitments to her supporters and work towards earning our votes. He really wasted my time with all the hype. Not cool.
All right. Good choice. Now, I am excited again. He was my 2nd choice.
Both tells the truth, what's on their mind. One is experienced, who knows the inside ropes of Washington, the other is young, full of hope and energy to inspire a new generation of Americans, who is ready to pitch in and turn this country around. That's why his supporters are enthusiastic and willing to make the contributions and sacrifices.
Excellent judgement; I was worried Obama would blow it. WOW now look out Johnny Sydney McCain. Biden will have the dual position of secretary of State
To Allen who wrote:
WRITE in HILLARY…
I WILLNOT VOTE Obama
1st time not voting for a democrate since 1981.
I would rather have 8 more years of Bush than 4 years of Obama
Get it over it. Clinton lost buddy! Please let it go and stop being a sore loser! You go on and vote for McBush! You weren't a true democrat in 1981 and neither are you now!!!!!
Great pick Barack.
As for all these Hillary whiners. 1/4 are sour grape losers, go ahead and vote for McSame. The other 3/4 are republican trying to create a controversy.
Text message – LOL – what a joke. Kudos to CNN for throwing a monkeywrench in this laughable idea by Obama. I do feel kind of sorry for the guy who is all upset because he wanted the text message – oh well that is what you can expect from Obama – a lot of rhetoric but no successful implementation.
Awww man... I'm really disappointed. I support Obama's decision, but I am not happy with it. He has drastically decreased his chance of winning this election. Obama/Hillary would have been the most powerful, unique, and revolutionary presidential team in American history. Sighs... if another Republican wins AGAIN, I'm moving to the Netherlands!
I like Biden more than Richardson. And thank god John Edwards is no longer an issue. Ick.
Always a Hillary supporter, but I will listen to Obama. (It may take an act of God to vote for him, but I'll listen.)
Hopefully, some of his supporters will stop the hatred. So tired of it.
So, our ticket is…Obama bin Biden?
What happened to "text message" will happen to "change" too.
Now the dem's have your phone number. They'll be hitting you up for donations until you get it changed. what a scam.
I am voting for McCain
All you Write In Hillary / PUMAs are the dumbest people on the planet.
While early this seems to be a very disappointing and anticlimactic choice, Obama is running as the change candidate and yet he chooses a Veteran of the Senate who is known as the "walking gaffe" machine very disappointing that he didn't choose someone who would be more consistent with his change message
I was not excited about Obama or HRC, but would have voted Dem anyway. Now that he's chosen Biden...who I've always maintained was the best Dem choice for Pres...I will work hard to get Obama elected. Thanks Barack...Joe is Right, and how you'll have him as a trusted partner. We are behind you both.
I would have voted for Obama if Clinton had been his VP choice. Not any more. I will now vote for MC Cain.
And with that choice, it's NOOBAMA. for me What voters is Biden going to bring in?????? His being on the ticket is supposed to do what???? What happened to his message of change??? Is he trying to tell me that Biden is not a Washington insider? Frankly, to me it was a gutless choice. The man is afraid of Hillary!
I, too, am wondering what the heck happened to the text message.
And frankly, disappointed that Clinton wasn't dealt with properly.
Obama seems to be campaigning to not lose rather than to win. Democrats may be sorry, ultimately.
I demand a McCain & Ron Paul ticket! RP is the only one who could reverse the suckiness of McCain.
OBiden 08'
Hmm, the VP is more experienced than the Presidential candidate. Not sure what Obama was thinking in making this choice.
Yes Biden has the foreign policy experience but it just highlights the fact that Obama doesn't. I don't think this was a smart move by Obama.
Well, look at it this way. Hillary has been screwing people for long, it's about time she got it. Vote Nader!
I still want Hillary Clinton!!!!
Is a shame Hillary supporters are being such 'sore losers' IN MY opinion - Hillary has too much baggage so wake
AND I HOPE THIS POSTS .... IS A SHAME that CNN has to rain on Obama's parade.... ALL FOR THE STORY..... is a shame you have this need to blow a person's plan....
BIDEN is the BEST choice.... Hillary is a better Senator than she would be a president... WE NEED to change the greed in Washington
BRAVO Senator Obama and Senator Biden....
Although I really like Joe Biden, this still will not make me vote for that socialist, Obama.
McCain/Clinton 08
While I'll be thrilled if this is true, shame on you CNN for spoiling the surprise.
At least he's interesting.
Obama is starting to be a bit of a windbag.
Wow, what a disaster! It just keeps getting worse. What is the problem with democrats???! Do they NOT want to win the Whitehouse? They make it easy for the Republicans. They are their own worse enemy.
Wise Choice, Barack. We're behind you to the whitehouse!!!!
Cnn post!!!
If one of the sources is not Obama – then who knows if it is true. Boy, will their faces be red if they are wrong.
Obama's whole campaign has been about change, Joe Biden does not represent change so it's back to old politic's. If MCcain puts a woman on his ticket, he will win, and probable win anyway. Obama had the chance to have 18 million voters thrown in his lap., but couldn't cross his own party lines to make amends with Hillary, so how is he going to work with the republicians, he's not, so it's politics as usual. The congress want get anything done, just as it is now.
LEAN LEFT
LEAN MORE LEFT
A BIT MORE
MORE
Whoops they just went over the edge.
Good choice. No sane person would choose a running mate who is $30 million in debt.
What a Great Ticket!
Two of the Greatest Candidates to come down the pike in a long time!
Sooooo much better than GOP sock puppets!
Excellent!
To quote Biden: Yes!!!!!!!! (exclamations added)
Truly a clean and articulate ticket, unlike the goofy, dirty McCain ticket.
ObamaBenBiden ..............catchy
hooraaaah.....
Now Our Obama can focus on his +ve msgs, while Bidens one-liners cancel out the Manchrian Candidates foul mouth.
Mccain.... you should vet someone who will be also in charge of keeping you right on the track.. If you cant remember how many houses you own, or the difference b/n Shiites and Sunnis, or what 25,000 soldier lives mean, or the difference b/n GDP & GNP... MC...not alone the Presidency, you must be bounded to a nursing home.. you Don GOP
OBAMA & BIden '08 I am not a whiner! I am just fed up!
So one who talks of change is no change at all......................
Obama/Biden 08
Yeah!!! Great pick.....Let's get ready for the White House Dems!!!!!
What on earth is wrong with all of you Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain? Hillary is voting for Obama. Do you love Hillary more than your country?
i am very dissapointed if that is his pick. I would have rather had hillary or bill richardson as his vp. that is a dumb choice he should have picked someone better. i will still support obama but i am truly dissapointed with his vp choice.
should be HILLARY.......
Good thing is Obama will lose as much as I dislike it a republican will win, and oh! Obama will most likely just fade out. This will be an easy victory for the McBush camp.
I could not think of a better pick that Bidden.
LOL The KOS kids are freaking
Biden is the best choice bar none. For the airhead Dems who say they will vote for McCain, be sure you keep your house payments current on hyoujr one house, and don't go on more than 3 days vacation without taking out job insurance. You are a sham to Hillary and to the Democratic party. If you think you are getting even, I would only ask ....with who? The answer is in your mirror.
As a lifelong dem, I will not vote Obama.
Without Clinton on the ticket, McCain has my vote.
All HRC supporters are welcome in the Republican fold. Come on over and vote for McCain so that you do not get thrown under the Obama bus like everyone else this year. If Obama does not win in November his political carreer will be over and that is a good thing. Everyone is tired of his message of change, while offering the same empty rhetoric.
McCain '08
Those who want to write in Hillary's name, why don't you write her a check instead.
CNN your title is wrong "CNN confirms: Obama Names Biden as DEM VP". Technically, Obama has not named Biden until he officially delivers the speech to America. It may be true that Obama has picked or selected Biden.
yes... that was my guess from the start... good choice...
it's math...it's not even politics...
he had to choose biden.
the news is in and i'm so happy
though for a while i was feelin' crappy
O-bomb-ah this, O-bomb-ah that
then he goes pull Biden out o' his hat
It wasn't Hillary? Whatz Bill gonna say?
Our woman runnin' for Prezident done got away?
Well i ain't a Happy Camper, as you kin tell
I'm mashin' my words & temper purty well
I coulda gone with O-BOMB-AH
all the way to LOO-C-ANN-NAAH
Without Hillary I ain't goin' along
Without Hillary IT JUST AIN"T RIGHT- it's all wrong...
I like Hillary, but all of you babies that say you will vote for McCain just because she was not offered VP. Short sighted and sad !!!!
I'm an Obama supporter who really did think Clinton was the better choice to bring the party back together.
Before you hate me for it, remember the time before the primaries really got going and we all LOVED the thought of Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama?
I miss that.
Yes we can
OBAMA / BIDEN 08
This could not have worked out any better.
I am proud to say.......
Obama/Biden '08!
EXCELLENT CHOICE!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08
Nothing else would have been as good. Thank GOD he didnt pick Shrillary. All those puma idiots can go vote for McSame now and we'll lose abortion rights and their grandmas who fought so hard for Roe will roll over in their graves.

Thank you, Democrats!
The Republicans won't have to say a word now to win. All they have to do is show Biden's numerous gaffes and this election is over.
Again, thank you Democrats. Now I can plan my financial future accordingly.
Mr. Biden is a hilarious choice! Now the joke ticket is complete and Mr. Obama has sealed his fate.
Democrats have apparently given up on winning the White House, and have just handed the election to President McCain.
Great choice!
Looks lie a winning team...congrats!
Now your so called PUMAS (who we all know by now are just republicans-kinda like Rush Limp in drag!!).
So lets the games begin-let them have their fun, but keep our focus at the same time-there is alot of crap that will be tossed around-looks past it...please.
PUMA! Obama is actually ok, but I'm sick of his flock of better than thou worshippers. I never thought I'd say this, but I'll vote Republican just to spite Obama's tribe.
It is comical that I know who Obama's VP choice is (and I could give a hoot) before all those who gave their phone numbers and emails!! Obama screwed his own supporters, he just wanted the info for his database and made fools of them all. LOL
Is a shame so many of you are so ready to Vote Republican because of Barack Obama and Joe Biden - what a great team.
If we have another republican in office next year... you can kiss your retirement, your home, and anything of value to you GOOD BYE!!!
Don't any of you know a con when you see it??? IN MY OPINION McCain is just that.... he is Bushy BOy's right hand man... and that is SOOooooo sad.
GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!! IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY not the Clinton Party!!
BIden over Hillary?
They both voted for Iraq...
They both said Obama is too inexperienced to be President...
They both have been in Washington for decades...
They both ran in the primaries...
But Hillary won all the swing states, big states, blue collar states, and more votes than anyone in history...Biden couldn't even carry his own state...
This is a slap in the face to 50% of all Democrats.
McCain-Whoever '08!
Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
GOP, are you watching?
For all the women out there that supported HRC and now say they will support John Mcsame, WILL YOU STILL SUPPORT HIM WHEN HE TAKES YOU RIGHT TO CHOSSE A WAY?
A great choice with many great options.
I look forward to Joe Biden tearing the GOP apart.
Obama 08!
Obama is toast!!!!!!!!!! I'm voting for Mccain and I'm a democrat.... PUMA
Thank you, Senator Obama!!
An Obama-Biden ticket is perfect! They have my full support!
Call me haaaaaaaaaaappppppppppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
W00-H00!
Okay – now McCain has to pick Mitt Romney (a losing ticket for sure).
Excellent investigative reporting on John King's part.
You just lost my vote Mr. Obama
Yet another good judgment call on the Obama side...
Obama/Biden 08'
(I'll get over the text message bitterness toward CNN later)
Washington is broken, Washington is corrupted, he wants to change washington, but he has picked up a Washington insider. What a change we can believe in?
If Hillary would have gotten the nod, the GOP would have been energized to rise up and vote against her.
Yeah–she would bring in votes......for BOTH candidates.
Biden is tough. He can go toe to toe with McCain and the rest of his Bush cronies.
Hillary supporters. You think Obama was MEAN to your lady......just think what McCain and the GOP would have done.
And you want to vote for McCain.
Does Hillary want you to?
You PUMA freaks are lame and overrated.
Dems dont have a chance.
I wanted to vote for him (If he had picked Hillary).
Count me out on this pick though ~ There is NO WAY he is getting my vote.
To all of the sore losers who will vote for McShame because Hillary is out.... Remeber that vote as you're waving good-bye to your husbands, sons, brothers and grand-sons as they depart to die in a foreign land so McShame can feel like a big shot. He has already said the draft should be re-instated. Their blood will be on YOUR hands, and it will be up to YOU to explain to their children why YOU voted out of spite for the man who sent their fathers off to die.
Is a shame CNN has to be first to blow the plan.... no wonder people don't trust news media.....
No text means CNN 'SCOOPED' a story again ... whew gets old doesn't it?
WELL SINCE HILLARY IS NOT VP ITS TIME TO SUPPORT MCCAIN GUYS. PUMA UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It should be alarming to all Democrats that when the choice was between selecting a VP running mate that stands for change versus one the bolsters Obama's inexperiences – Obama had no choice but to go the route for compensating for his gross lack of experience in so many areas. This would be another puppet presidency – everyone knows that Dick Cheney was pulling the strings on Bush and Biden would certainly have to pull all the strings on Obama. I was reading earlier comments made by Biden when he distanced himself from Obama after Obama made the statement that he would meet with heads of state from countries such as Iran without any terms – This is not the leader that we need – Why has the Democratic leadership done this to us – I would love an African-American president just as much as the next guy but give us a Colin Powell (a man of real character who Bush shafted and I think would have gladly turned and worked across party lines)
Weeee"reeeeeeee gonna Winnnn!
Obama/Biden
Dumb move. Choosing Hillary would have won him the election.
18 million people say NO to PUMA !!!!!!!
Obama/Biden '08 WINNERS !!!!!!!!
you know what is so sad is you guys report on Baracks Brother, but what about Cindy Mccains sister. She was on Warren Ballentines show and said she would not vote for her sisters husband. They kicked her out of the family and she was the first born.
I hope obama's lemmings will look inward when his campaign ultimately fails this fall
PS moron PUMAs....you SHOULD vote for Obama! He'll make Shrillary a Supreme Court justice or something! Geeeezzzzzzzzz.
Clinton Supporters....YOU NEVER WERE GOING TO VOTE FOR OBAMA....GO VOTE McCAIN...HE HAS AS MUCH IQ AS YOU DO ...please watch out for the door...don't let it hit you in the face on your way out!. McCain is a calling!
Too bad, so sad. Obama just lost a multitude of votes.
Hillary rocks. Write-in her name.
Does everyone find it odd that there are 2 times the stories on Obama on CNN than McCain? I am undecided still but seeing CNN push the dems so many elections in a row, it makes me want to go the other way? Does anyone else feel this way?
He just blew it. He had a chance to unite the party but his ego got the best of him.
The good news is Hillary can run again in 2012 and walk into the whitehouse
Hillary in 2012!
i love this two guys and they are a perfect team to make america go forward.joe biden is tough and obama is following his footsteps and i tell you what,with this team,there is no way mccain will win..hillary lovers,get on obama side because that is what she wants and that will make her happy.love you all.take care and may god bless all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Biden. I don't like Obama. My vote stays with McCain.
Biden has the experience that can get all the Changes Obama wants on the fast Trac..
Biden knows his way around & through the Washington maze.
Please post for those who wonder where the text messages are ... CNN foiled that plan .... the plan was to announce it tomorrow morning ....
Is a shame CNN is so unprofessional IN MY opinion
GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!
GOOD CHOICE.....THE LORD WILL ALWAYS DIRECT YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS......YOU WILL EXCEL AND MAKE IT TO THE 'PLACE'
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
forget Dems getting WH now , sad !
The PERFECT choice... for victory and beyond.
Let's turn this sinking ship around! Obama/Fightin' Joe Biden '08.
Enjoy your McCain sandwich and cream of Romney soup!
Don't eat too much though.... lots of Bush/Cheney sewage to clean.
Hey Hillary Supporters Who Support Her for Non-Racist Woman Reasons,
If it makes you feel better, read the Wikipedia article on Biden. One of his main accomplishments was a bill to protect abused women. You've got a full fledged friend in Joe.
Obama/Biden '08
Silly Bloggers, Trix R for kids, and so is CNN's blog apparently
This is ridiculous, not the pick, but this announcement. CNN stalking Biden's house and then ruining the whole text message thing. Way to take the fun out of things.
HIllary Supporters...time to mobilize and head to McCain's website.
I am so disappointed in CNN. This was a special event for Obama supporters and it would not have cost anything to wait until after the campaign text message. Most of us knew this anyway - but you ruined something that was special to us. Don't you think before announcing anything???
Hmmm, decent choice actually; if this is his choice.
Yet another snub to Hillary. Obama's making it very hard for this Democrat to bring myself to vote for him. He thumbs his nose at those who would help him and breaks his word at every turn.
Biden as VP, is this change or politics as usual?
Great choice! I liked Biden in the beginning and changed my mind to Obama but now I get both of them on the ticket and in the white house. This is going to be a great eight years.
Obama really is screwed now: all the idiotic PUMA's are going to choose a man whose policies are direct opposites of what they stand for rather than support Obama.
Just goes to show that liberals are just as idiotic as conservatives.
Democrats are taking over the White House – Biden will help Barack all the way!! Good-bye to the Crooked Republicans!
Fox news will be whining when their party loses the election.
Yes we can, it's another great day in America as i voted for Bush and republicans for the past 8 years but Obama has my vote for 2008 and 2012.
Sorry Mr Obama, maybe the time around, you blew it! CNN, I wanted to get my text, you blew it too.
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER will I vote for Obama.
I think that by the Republican National Convention we'll see an upswing on supporters of McCain.
My vote went out the window when he decided against Hillary. You picked the wrong one. Now Hillary supporters will go elsewhere. This one sure is.
Hillary and Bill sold us down the River years ago,China, Nafta Walmart,outsourcing,insourcing jobs from India.Dont let the door hit in the A$$ Hillary,and take your whiney little Republican friends with you.
Hillary is full of wrong decisions:
Wrong Decision, voting for war
Wrong Decision, spending money beyond budgeted in her campaign
Wrong Decision, staying long & prolonging the race
Wrong Decision, still hanging on to Bill Clinton !!!!
Full of MESS ups... Do we need her ? NO !!!!!!
Political Suicide. Howard Dean should write a book on HOW TO LOSE AN ELECTION. GO MCCAIN!!!!
Are the people who are happy with this pick really series?
I will say it again, and history supports my arguement ~ The road to the White House goes through the South. Fact.
The Democratic party has virtually no chance to win with two liberal northern Senators. It's as simple as 2 + 2 = 4. No calculus needed.
You people need to get that through your thick skulls.
If you'd rather have 8 more years of Bush than 4 of Obama, go back in time and move to Fascist Italy.
As a Hillary supporter, I'm not surprised by this. And I don't hate Biden. I don't like things about him, but I don't hate him.
BUT, I wonder why Obama never really reached out to us. For me anyway, all he really had to do was plan to send Clinton supporters a message at the same time he planned to send his own supporters a message about the VP. Our message could have been a nice way for him to reach out to us and explain why he didn't pick her. I would've really appreciated that and it would've shown me that he's not ignoring us.
Oh, please, let the pro-Hillary, anti-Obama hilarity continue. It's definitely behavior in the best interests of our country's future for a bloc of spite-driven voters to either stay home or vote for the opposition rather than come to grips with the idea that their first choice wasn't the nominee.
Biden certainly wasn't my first choice for VP, and I was on the fence about Obama vs. Clinton in the primaries (just thank God we dodged the Edwards bullet!). The Democrats have their nominee, though, and we as a country need to stop being so selfish in our voting.
The best really is sometimes the enemy of the good.
What happened to "change for a better America?" Biden is about as establishment as Obama could get in a VP. Considering how elitist Obama is, though, I shouldn't be surprised. Way to sink the election, Obama.
Smart choice by a smart man.
Yes we can!!!
Will all you Hillary supporters just get over it! You are acting more immature than my preschooler. So you didn't get your way and now you are going to pout about it? Come on! Do you really think that McCain has closer policies and ideals to Hillary than Obama? Honestly, be adults and accept that the world doesn't always give you what you want.
Obama made a good choice for the MCcain campaign, all MCcain has to do is put a woman on his ticket and get millions of women voters. Way to go Obama what a blunder. GOOOOOO MCCAIN
Rats! I wasn't me!!!
Oh well, good luck Senator Biden! You're a good man and I fully support you (although it should have been me).
How can you support clinton and then vote for mccain just because you didn't get your way?? I guess if you do that then you never supported clinton at all!!
OBAMA '08
This is a fantastic choice. I'm thrilled with this ticket.
I was and still am a strong Hillary supporter. However, this is about something bigger than a group of disappointed Clinton supporters and it’s about something bigger than the Democratic Party. This is about our country and this election will have great consequences for the next generations…your children and their children and their children…
Think long and hard before you decide you will stay home or cast a protest vote “against” Obama. We can’t take a chance on what will happen if we have even 4 years of a McCain presidency. Do you really think it’s smart to help Obama lose so that Hillary can run in 2112? Consider the legacy that GW is leaving behind – can you be so sure that the country will be “fixable” in 2112 after 4 more years of a Republican in the White House? Roe v Wade overturned…another cold war…war in Iran…the haves will have more and the have-nots will lose it all…no healthcare for millions…children left behind…
Hillary has been gracious and I am hoping that her supporters will follow her example…it’s about the greater good…
All you Hillary supporters... we're all Dems.
But if you go to McCain, you weren't with us in the first place.
U go vote for four more years of Bush because of sour grapes that Hill and Bill blew it, then shove it.
We'll be working America back to greatness again.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING!
The problem with Hillary Clinton is that she made the decision in her campaign to conduct is as if she were a Republican running against the Democrat (Obama). On top of it, she ran a horrible campaign, mismanaged it at every turn and as much as you Clinton supporters don't want to open your eyes to it, if you can't run a campaign, how the heck do you think this person could run THE COUNTRY!
There is a place for Hillary but it's not where she has access to poison the food of the man who stands in the way of her ambition.
Yeah, this news has been out since about 10:30.
I would be mad if I signed up for the text thing, but surely you know that Obama knew there was no way to keep this a secret.
It was all a ploy to get your cell number and email addresses so he can send you a message on November 3 reminding you to vote, because studies show folks are more likely to vote if they are reminded right beforehand.
Welcome to the world of duped, Obama-style!
Don't get fooled in November.
CNN never puts my comments on, they are always waiting moderation. So I probably just wasted 2 minutes typing this.
We were close my fellow democrates! I am so sorry to disappoint you and even myself, but I CANNOT and WILLNOT vote for Obama without Hilary on the ticket!
Congratulations, Sen. Obama. You just gave McCain the White House. You know Hillary would have picked him. Wow. Good Luck with Biden.
NO HILLARY NO VOTE
Thanks Obama for making it clear for me who NOT to vote for.
where do I sign up for PUMAS and McCain? OBAMA is a loser!
And don't blame CNN for the scoop that ruined your long-awaited text message from the Messiah. ABC scooped it first, around 11 p.m.
this is change? won't get my support.
"WRITE in HILLARY…
I WILLNOT VOTE Obama
1st time not voting for a democrate since 1981.
I would rather have 8 more years of Bush than 4 years of Obama"
Allen, you are either fictional or stupid. To vote Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, MCCAIN would require a very special type of idiocy.
For the first time in 40 years voting republican I will be voting democrat.
I will not vote for the republican ticket and John McCain.
Why do we want a Prez who is incomplete to stat with ??
Obama is seeking someone who can "fulfill" the vacuum that he carries, but thats a big hole . Big enough that Biden can fill forget Kennedy or Gore.
Obama has ruined Dems chances to take back White House.
joe biden is the best pick. i actually wanted him for the nominee, but i guess this is the next best thing.
and i think the media totally exaggerates the whole hillary thing just for a story. let's move past that now – joe biden is the best person for the job!!!!!
Excellent choice Obama!! Now if you could get Oprah to switch places with Rice
Fabulous choice!!!!
Obama lied when he said Hillary was on his short list. We all know that is not true, she was never vetted by the Obama camp. So sad.
Great pick! This is a winning ticket.
Anyone who would vote for Hillary Clinton, and then turn around and vote for John "no exception in cases of rape or incest" "I don't know how many houses my second wife with whom I cheated while I was married to my injured first wife bought me" McCain is frankly, a moron. I'd like to have the votes, sure, but really, a moron.
hillary doesn't deserve anything....where were all you supporters when she needed campaign volunteers to go door to door. Maybe next time she runs you "supporters" will get off your swivel computer chair and muster up more votes. You says it is undemocratic that she lost....IT'S NOT....She didn't get the votes.....learn how the system works, how the primaries work, etc. You are all so immature and are so "bitter" you have to cry like little babies "wah wah wah hillary should be VP, wah wah wah hillary should be this, hillary should be that" GOD give it up already she lost and it's over forever.
OBAMA/BIDEN
Word to all the so called Hillary supporters that are insisting on protesting this decision, it never was yours to make it was President Obama's and the fact that he did not allow you all to strong arm him speaks volumes in his favor, but you do have one decision to make come election time I suggest you do so very wisely otherwise you may have to face the consequences.
I just hope that after Hillary is allowed her moment at the convention she will truly be able to support Obama as well as "her supporters" if not I can only pray that they will get somewhere and sit down and stay out of the way and not make it harder than it has to be, but I doubt it they seem to only want attention for themselves the fact that Hillary still has this debt proves this and Hillary wanting all of this attention only proves that she is only thinking of herself, but not too wisely she is not thinking of the fact that all attention ain't good attention, if they continue to cause problems for Obama instead of going down in the history as a champion of women she will be forever be known as a bitter spoiler for the first black candidate as well as the Democratic Party and nation!
Thanks CNN ... you just screwed up a historic event !!! and for what ... to say you were first ... I'm turning to MSNBC
18M people are really pissed! I know I am...Obama with have to "Change" his mantra...
VIPER, VIPER VIPER MCCAIN -------WATCH OUT!
Here comes OBAMA/BIDEN 08
I have a very hard time understanding why people who voted for Hillary would now vote for John McCain. If you look at the differences between Obama and Clinton you will hardly see any differences; we all learned that during the primaries. All this shows is that you knew nothing about her policies and that you voted for her because you liked her and just figured she would be a good pick. If you really did like Clinton for what she wanted to do then you will vote for Obama since he has the same goals. Lastly, if McCain gets elected do you really think she will get to accomplish any of her goals for this country as opposed to what she could do if Obama is president. I just ask that you rethink your vote and really understand WHAT you are voting for as opposed to who you are voting for.
a cerebral but gutty pick.
Great choice...it's like JFK choosing LBJ. Obama knew the biggest issue to Americans, besides the economy, is America's foreign relations and Joe Bidden is an expert in that area,
As far as these polls go: They only pooll a few thousand people, and they call the house phone (LAN lines)...so there are still millions of people who have yet to be polled. Obama will win.
As far as the idea that Obama "should" have picked Hillary: crazy. Obama owes Hillary nothing...he beat her fair and square in the primaries and the dream ticket was just that, a dream. Thank God Obama picked Bidden so we can wake up from this 8 year nightmare known as the Bush Administration.
And CNN has never been wrong before . . .
Goo choice,since Biden will be the real president anyway. That said, the way HRC was treated still rankles: no vote in this "selection".
Obama is a smart, smart man!
Obama + Biden = WINWIN!!
I would have thought about voting for Obama if he had picked H. Clinton as his V.P. running mate, but since he didn't Im sorry to say McCain will get my vote. Just for the record Im from as so called "swing state" Im from St. Louis, Missouri.
WOW!!!!
He picked the guy who wanted Iraq to become three seperate states!!
The same guy who voted for Iraq!!!!
The old guy who has been in congress longer than McCain!!
Thy guy who can't keep his mouth shut!!!!
You know it's always good to have someone on your ticket that has some executive experience. Just a thought.
Ya know... if Obama wanted to win so badly he would have selected Clinton!!!
To all of you foolishly blaming CNN for blowing Obama's scheme – blame your fearless leader – had he no drawn this out like a silly schoolkid scheme CNN would not have had time to narrow the field down to only one – GOOD JOB CNN – way to go and my faith in you is slightly restored.
Its funny you undercover Repubs hate and despise Obama so bad yet, you bots are glued to any thread relating to him. Obama made a great choice.
I hope Mccain picks Ridge!!!...lmao that would really send me howling.
How stupid can some of you people be? You say you're democrats, but because the oh-so-holy Clinton didn't win the primaries you're threatening to vote Rep?!? Are you so afraid to let a person with a different skin color lead this country? I know, there is a comment from another African-American that posted on this blog saying they are now voting for McCain.
Stupid.
Just stupid.
Just how many more of your rights do you want taken away? There are some very major important decisions that will be made by the next president, including Judges on the Supreme Court. If you call yourself a life-long democrat, do you REALLY want McCain making those choices?!?
i've never liked obama and always felt that he was too inexperienced, arrogant, etc. but i like biden. this was a great choice. i just might vote for obama.
sorry not believing gossip. primary source is the campaign. nice try cnn.
Great pick...lets start the attack...
looser with looser. We are so happy that Hillary is not the VP so we will vote for McCain and wait for her on 2012.......... Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo Obama
Please all democrate do not vote for Obama, especially women
I have been a registered Democrat for 20 years. I voted for Obama in the primaries.
I will vote for McCain in the fall.
I have increasingly noticed an arrogant streak in Obama that I saw in Bush.
I must have heard Obama claim 20 times that Clinton would be on anyone's "Short List" of VP picks. Unfortunately, just not his.....according to several reports he never even considered her. I feel manipulated. I feel he's been dangling her out there like a carrot to win votes and now has thrown her under the bus. I wouldn't want a man of that shallow a character to be my President. Period.
you go Obama while I think Hillary would have been a good pick they couldnt please every one so going with the experiance was a wise choice. As much as I like the Clintons theres to many skeletens in there closets. One more thing I'm glad to see some fresh blood in the white house this country was turning into a monarchey.
Obama 08
You Clinton supporters should be thankful Obama is such a nice guy, just imagine if he would have gone negative on Hillary Clinton, i'm sure you wouldn't be liking her or Bill too much right now, all the baggage that the Clintons have, has not been revealed at all, it looks like nothing happen back in the Clinton years in the White House, but alot happen, Obama knew McCain would bring it out, would that be good for Obama to take on such a baggage in the Clintons?
I just can't believe that any female dem or independent would ever consider McShame!! What is wrong with YOU!! Don't you want to control your own body choices and prevent endless war and the return of the draft??? Obama and Biden will bring it home for us - what Hillary accomplished will never be erased - only if you don't allow McShame to win the election because you betray our party and our ideals. OBAMA-BIDEN 2008!!!
Well hell! Let's do it Hillary in 2012!
Welll I guess McCain just won another african american vote....
OBama shame on you!
Hillary will win in 2012...no ifs ands or buts about it!
Wonderful! I like him. Thanks god it's not Billary!
Obama/Biden '08!!!
Woo hoo!
I can't believe that people would put their pride in the way because their candidate wasn'r chosen to settle for four more years of job losses, a slump economy and a costly war. What else are they willing to give up for the sake of pride? Their home , family or bank account! This country is going to hell in a waste basket with this type of mindet.
So many cry babies on here. Grow up, boo hoo, whine, whine, whine, go sign up on John McCrooks web site, why are you here telling us about it, go on, vote Republican, it is on your head, not ours.
To all those angry Hillary supporters...
Why the hell would you risk causing harm to the country by voting for Mccain? Why? Because you are just hurt and mean spirited.
Hillary lost. Accept it. Move on and cast your vote for America's future not your own vanity. You all call yourselves Democrats???? C'mon!
OBAMA / BIDEN '08
It really would have been great if Sen. Obama could have done things his way with his announcement. He wanted his supporters to know first via text and email. Because of your insistant persistance in being nosey, you reporters have ruined it for us. There is no need for him to text us anything as long as reporters are as nosey as you are. Why couldn't you have just left well enough alone. Haven't you ever heard of the element of surprise?
OMG!!! Osama, I Mean Obama Chose Biden ???
ZZZZZZZZ ....
Quick send more capital letters, i'm running low........
how many flamers are pretending to be clinton supporters who will now vote for mccain?
come on folks. thats cheap.
Barack, Thank you for making the first major decision right ! You need someone like Joe Biden to help you do the heavy lifting (delivering that knock out punch to your opponent; someone who knows where all of McCains bodies are buried). Again, thank you and congratulations on an excellent choice !!! Now, on to Victory !!!
Still waiting on that text message. Thought I'd be "one of the first to know." Thanks, Obama.
It'd better been a good decision. because..
I really don't like J. McCayyyyy
boy oh boy.
Obama/Biden in MI 08.
it's going to be tough here.
FOR ALL YOU HILLARY SUPPORTERS – i don't like obama either but you will come to like biden. it never would've worked with hillary. the vp is a relatively useless posiiton – let's let her do more important things. obama may have a cabinet spot for her and she can get more done in the senate.
november's a while away – keep your minds open!!!!
I consider myself a feminist, and I'm relieved he didn't choose Clinton. Supporting women in general does not mean one has to support what just any woman does – we can still have standards. I don't trust Clinton, I don't like her, and if she were running I'd have had to think seriously about voting for McCain. I think he made a good choice.
Can't believe obama picked biden, he's more communist then vladimir putin.
Doesn't matter McCain has this registered democrat's vote this fall. I'm more interested in McCain's VP. I would be surprised if it was Hillary.
Yippeeeee! I love it. Biden is a great choice and I couldn't be happier. He will be such a wonderful VP. I can't wait to get to Denver and feel the excitement in the air.
Obama/Biden 08
Hillary supporters should accept that Biden is much better equipped for the job than Se. Clinton.
To the fans of Sen. Clinton, all I can say is get over it! She lost. Very fair and very square. If for any reason Sen. Obama were to lose this year, it will definitely be the fault of Sen. Clinton, which means that her supposed chances for 2012 are next to zero.
Obama/BIDEN 08
None of these Clinton supporters ever actually state any facts in their rants.
remember the statement Biden made regarding American Indians...."In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans–moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking."
A little narrow minded.
He also proposed legislation to roll back taxes for those making over $1 million a year.
William Ayers thinks Biden is a great pick. Rev. Wrong (wright) will still find some reason to hate KKKAmerica. Bottom line is Obama is a marxist. You put Biden with Mr. Marxist and you still have a marxist.
The Kool-Aid is wearing off. America will see through this empty suit and make his home state look foolish for electing this wind bag in the first place.
Had Obama chosen Hillary, he would have lost more of his real valuable supporters than the fickle Hillary die-hards who are ready and willing to vote Republican just to prove a point.
What a joke! Too bad that Obama lose my vote!
INFOWARS.COM..........ROGUEGOVERNMENT.COM
GREAT CHOICE. FORGIVE THE DOUBTERS,
Oh goodie! Obama and a plagerist!
Brilliant choice–Barack is ready to be president. His first choice is a great choice.
Obama/Biden all the way.
Go Barack, GoJoe.
Why why why... Obama is such a child why didn't he pick Clinton! Politics as usual...
Wonderful, I thought someone else,but this too is a great choice. Thank God it is not Hillary, she can be used other places in a Obama Cabinate.
All of the die-hard Hillary supporters that are switching to voting republican are pure fanboys/fangirls. Im willing to bet that everyone doing that has no idea what Hillary's policies were. Its pure stupidity to call yourself a democrat then vote republican because your choice did not win. Its really immature. Im moving to Canada or England if McCain wins, because it will reinforce the growing feeling that most of America is retarded.
finally.....great choice, we finally got an attack dog
Cant stop shaking my head in shame for the democrats. They just blew another election. We have wimpy, no balls candidates in the past 2 elections.. Obama just gave the election to McCain and Im supporting the winner-McCain!!!
I really hope this is not true. I am still looking for my text message.
CNN Headline News
McCain Pawlenty 08
WooHoo!!! I've been a Biden admirer since Iived in DE for a few years in the late 80's. He's always seemed like a regular guy you could watch a ball game with over a few beers, but he's a pit bull when it comes down to the dogfight. I've been saying Obama/Biden for months now!!!!
OBAMA aint no fool.....he knows the people behind him...Yes We Can!!! 80 Million + votes.....what can PUMA 18 Million drops of water do in an ocean? ....nada!
BIDEN voted for BANKRUPTCY REFORM. He's a corporatist dirt-bag. And Obama chastised McCain for voting for the same bill. Hypocrisy much?
McCain just got my vote. Biden is not an agent of change.
Obama, I thought you were smarter than that. You just blew the election. Im voting for McCain and then moving to Mexico for 4 years!!!
TODAY IS THE DAY THAT OBAMA LOST THE ELECTION!!!!!!
You lost election Mr>Obama
Now that we have a VP picked...Lets rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good. Biden is the best VP choice out there. This ticket beats Kerry/Edwards and Gore/Liberman. It will obviously beat Mccain/Romney. America cannot afford to let Mccain win.
Obama/Biden 08! Thank the lord!
HOPE IS ON THE WAY!
Ohio for Hillary, No Hillary=No vote for Obama.
i hope they have many many protests at the convention....i only wish i was there protesting too
You thought the recent Russo-Georgia conflict was bad, wait till Denver! Dang, might as well give the south and west back to France and Mexico, cause Biden can't carry a feather for us.
I am still waiting fro my text message.
Not even hearing it from Larry King will make me believe it.
as for PUMAs, go on and not vote or whatever u want to do.
But whatever you do, just shut up and wait for 2016.
It was understandable for all of u to vent after the primaries, but jeezz, the whole country has moved on......u need to move on too
Will you Hillary supporters GET OVER IT ALREADY!?!?!?! She lost because she ran a poor campaign – NOT because of Obama. And she's still in debt!!!!! Stop blaming Obama for everything. Throwing temper tantrums is for 5 year olds – not when you are voting for the President of the United States. If you vote for McCain and we go to war with IRAN, I HOPE your kids are the first to get drafted. And when that happens, DON'T complain!
Now McCain should put Condoleezza Rice on his ticket and he'll pick up the disgruntled females who supported Hillary and even a few African Americans. I don’t think Obama had much choice, if he had picked Hillary it would have been seen as an act of desperation especially since he’s plummeting in the polls. And can you imagine what the cabinet meetings would have been like. Hillary would have to constantly explain how things work in the real world, since he’s only been operating at the national level for three years and one year of that time has been spent running for the Presidency.
As a 53 year old lifelong Democrat I would have gladly voted for Hillary, but I cannot in all conscience replace a Republican Village Idiot with a Democratic version of the same, John McCain you have my vote!
Political Suicide. I'll vote for you Barack, but McCain's gonna be our next prez. Thanks alot.
Great. So much for this "change" we hear from Obama so often. He picks a geezer whos been playing dirty politics for decades. lovely.
i am disgusted at obama
Let's see. Candidate Obama voted for Bush's FISA bill and wiretapping, is against late term abortion now, supports Bush's faith based programs, support off-shore drillings now, and has Joe Biden as running mate– someone who voted for the Iraq war as well as the continue funding of that war. Looks like you liberals are running a Republican ticket this year!
I hope the Independent Choice is a Good one.
Mc Cain = TOO OLD, MORE OF THE SAME
Barrack = FLIP FLOPPING, Bad Decisions (v.p.)
PLEASE HILLARY RUN AS A INDEPENDENT!!!! WE ARE BEGGING!!!
I was supporting Hillary in the Primary.....but Joe Biden is an excellent and wise choice for Obama. I'm ready for change from Bush and Cheney's dreadful fiscal and foreign policy irresponsibility !
I am so upset! Though I like Sen. Biden, I wanted Hillary to be the VP. My dream of the first African-American President and first woman VP have been dashed. I was/am a Hillary supporter from the beginning and the way I feel right now....I don't think I will be voting.
Great choice!Extremely well respected and has the foriegn affairs experience that Obama lacks.
Vi...get your facts straight! Biden initially voted for the war but since then for several years has said he was wrong it doing so.
This is a man, like Obama, who isn't afraid to admit his mistakes.
For the Dems voting for McCain and would rather a stupid white man over an intelligent black man or your precious Hillary. Rock your vote. And may your grandchildren be drafted in wars all over this country.
Obama/Biden '08!
OBiden, YAY!
The democrats can kiss this election goodbye. Next time pick a real leader . My vote will be a write-in. As a longe time democrat I want real change not lip service. Really change will happen when america wakes-up and elects a woman. So dumber and dumbest is not the only choices we have–there is the green party, The Independent party and the write-in vote, my will be a write-in vote.
What a circus!!
Folks, it doesn't really matter who he picks. What matters is health care, the economy, jobs, the war, and our ability to be a country that is respected again by the rest of the world. I do not trust Senator McCain to lead the country that I defended for 30 years.
To all you "if Hilliary is not on the ticket ........" GROW UP" . The senator herself is backing Senatoe Obama. If you want to rebel, do so by paying off her debt. We have serious problems that need to be taken care of, and whether you like it or not, Senators Hilliary and Obama are pretty much the same on these issues–Senator Mccain is not even in the ball park.
Hillary suppoters- GET OVER THIS FOR GOD"S SAKE!
DO you want four years of the same Republican scams, scandals and the like because Hillary didn't get picked as VP??
America is in the toilet already and you want to PULL THE CHAIN!!
Let's unite and send John McSame packing....
Or be so narrow-minded and pull us further down the gutter.
This is just what Republicans want because they know you better than you do.. AND they STILL wont care about you when they get what they want!
This is great news! This is what happens when you tell us men "Shame on you..!" You don't tell us men who go out there & work everyday "Shame on you..!" Thank you Obama! Thank you Biden!
And if the Hillary supporters don't jump on board with this great news, it's because they hate men, get my drift!
i think its still a joke....its not biden...lol i bet u its someone eles.......just a prank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the text mess will say someone eles.
rep for obama 08
hill-billies get on board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dam it..stp whinning...
Hillary sunk her own ship. Who in their right mind would choose Hillary after all the terrible things she said. I would rather see him lose, than win with Hillary. I'm sure he feels the same way. It's sad that she wanted it so bad, that she was willing to sell her soul to the devil. Bill and Hill are the past, Obama is the future. YES WE CAN!!!
Thats to bad its Biden.Biden is good but Hillary and Obama would have been a good team plus they would get the womens vote, elderly and blue collar workers. I believe they could have brought the country together and the Dem party. Sorry no one gets my vote come Nov. no Mcain no obama. I'll just vote for Hillary on the ballot or not at all.
To bad
so, the candidate for changed picks a 6th-term senator?
Don't worry everyone, the text is coming. You should have known that within the final hours, the best political team would break the story. I think that's why Obama decided to send the text early morning... in hopes that CNN would go to bed; but he should have known better–LARRY KING DOESN'T SLEEP!!! lol... If you REALLY didn't want to know until the text, you should have kept your TVs and computers off! lol
But really, CNN, to be fair, you should have had a "Spoiler Alert" page when people came to your site.
Way to go Obama. You just lost the election. I will now write in Hillary along with millions of her supporters. You let your ego get in the way of what was best for the party. Hillary 2012!
Money!!!!!
Game, set, match.
It's over!
Senator Obama and Joe Biden make an awesome looking team.... they will right all the wrongs of the present Bush administration.
Vote Smart – Obama-Biden '08!
I think this is Great! Obama/Biden was my 1st choice. As for all you haters, if you'd really rather vote for 4 more yrs of the same old garbage as opposed to trying something better, be my guest. In the end you'll be the ones complaining when you can't afford to make ends meet. Nothing like being "STUCK ON STUPID".
Sooooooo disappointed!!!!!!
Biden is a perfect choice! YOu can't put a woman on the ticket with a black dude vice versa, come on, America not quite there yet! Especially a woman with a mouth like San Andreas fault!
Biden brings IRON to the ticket! The guy has guts, speaks his mind, defends his friends when they're attacked, genuinely cares about us Americans, has foreign/domestic experience, and is well respected. Look at Biden, he looks like he came out of that portrait of American founding fathers! Thank you Obama/Biden!
This seals the deal for this democrat! McCain '08
Yes! After reading Biden's WSJ Op-Ed piece in May I though he would be very good choice.
Excellent!
OBAMA/BIDEN !!!
Allen and the like – then you my friend are a idiot!
To vote McCain would be a disservice to this country!
Ask yourselves – why isn't there any diversity in McCain's campaign? This is a tell-tell sign of the GOP bigoted/divisive rhetoric! Whose interests do the McCain /GOP have?
Get real America – for the future of this country, kids, and grand children – the future is Obama!
After what the Bush/Republicans have done in the last 8 years and you want to reward them with 4 more years....Seriously?
I love it.
Biden is a bulldog, and will destroy Romney in the debates. It will be glorious.
Grab some popcorn, folks. Sit back and watch the McCain run away with his tail between his legs. Tripping over himself along the way.
Oh, and if McCain wins as a result of you PUMAS, then you will deserve the economic wrath that he will bestow upon you.
If you lose your house, your job, or claim bankruptcy under McCain's weak economic policies, then you will have no one to blame but yourselves.
No hillary = mccain so she can have another shot in 2012
Barack, Barack, Barack.....What are you thinking? Are you really that insecure that you couldn't pick Hillary? Are you really for the party or yourself? A Barack/Hillary ticket would have cleaned their clock and would have really stood for the "Change" is on it's way propaganda. Instead you pick Biden who was not even good enough to make it past the first primary vote on every past election for that past 20 years! If Biden was so great why can't he do it on his own? You really missed the boat on this one and McBush is going to pick accordingly now. I'm a Democrat without a candidate now. NoBama here!
++++++(Hillary take a well deserved vacation and get ready for 2012 after McBush screws things up further and we are dealing with another military situation and isolated further from the rest of the world. We'll need you even more then! ) ++++++ HILLARY CLINTON IN 2012!!!!!
Would it not be so Great when we wake up in the morning and it's not "The Guy?" Just to shame the Media.
Biden is clearly the best choice. Obama shows great judgment again.
This country can't take another 4 years of Republican fools. Obama/Biden '08!! Get on the wagon, or lose.
HILLARY AND OBAMA ARE ON THE SAME PAGE . THE REP PARTY WOULD HAVE DESTROY HILL AND COME AFTER BILL WITH ALL HIS DEALS WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE FUNDED HIS LIBRARY AND THE MONICA THING . WE DON'T NEED NO DISTRACTIONS . HILLARY IS WITH OBAMA. YOU GUYS ARE SELFISH AND F.. RACISTS GET OVER YOURSELVES . VOTE FOR WHOEVER YOU WANT TO BE STUPID BUT GO AWAY WE WON'T LET YOU RAIN ON OBAMA GREAT DAY. WE WANT OUR FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT SEN BIDEN WILL AN EXCELLENT VP THIS MAYS ME HAPPY LOVE HIS FIRE. NOW ON TO THE CONVENTION WELL I'M GOING TO WATCH CABLE SEE THESE STUPID PEOPLE GO NUTS AND INSANE. THIS IS GREAT .OBAMA AND BIDEN 08 I AM SURE HILL GET AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OBAMA CABINET SHE WILL BE GREAT I VOTE FOR BILL TWICE . I ALSO VOTE FOR HILL I AM A BLACK WOMAN 56. MLK WOULD BE PRIDE OF AMERICA.SEE LATER. EMAIL ME IF YOU WISH
Right On!!!! I am finally proud of my country!
For all of you saying "No Hillary, No vote" I notice you'e not in swing states. So stop the threats.
The only tee'd off illary supporters that matter are the ones in Ohio and Florida. And maybe not even FL if Obama can take Colorado and Iowa.
So good riddens please dont come back to the democratic party and welcome to OBAMA LAND
Scoring the Votes
He said that he had "a perfect voting record from organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion." But we called both of those groups, and they told us they don't even release congressional scorecards. In fact, the American Legion's constitution prohibits it.
The veteran in this exchange was also wrong in saying McCain doesn't have a perfect voting record with the VFW (since such a record doesn't even exist). However, he is correct in that McCain doesn’t have a perfect score with DAV (Disabled American Veterans), a group of 1.3 million disabled veterans that supports more funding for veterans health care. McCain has a 20 percent record of voting the way DAV would like him to in 2006. The group is nonpartisan, but its 100 percent rankings disproportionately go to Democrats: 207 Democrats in Congress and only 13 Republicans received scores of 100 percent in 2006. Senators were evaluated on five votes for amendments that would have increased funding for veterans’ health care.
Great news for McCain, it will be interesting to see the Clintons response at the convention next week. Hillary is definitely looking to 2012.
I guess Obama doesn't care very much about what Hillary supporters think.
FOR ALL YOU HRC SUPPORTERS OUT THERE, OBAMA HAS DONE THE RIGHT THING BY PICKING BIDEN. HE HAS NOW SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY HAS "EXPERIENCE"; NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO THINKS SHE HAS EXPERIENCE BECAUSE HER SPOUSE WAS GOVERNOR AND THEN PRESIDENT FOR EIGHT YEARS. WHEN ARE YOU HIILLBOTS GOING TO WAKEUP AND SMELL THE FRESH AIR, HILLARY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU ONLY HER OWN EGO. NOW SHE CAN GO BACK TO THE SENATE AND MOAN TO HER PANTSUIT MAKER ON THE WEEKENDS ABOUT HOW SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT BECAUSE WELL, SHE IS ENTITLED TO IT REMEMBER??
REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!
DMH, SAN DIEGO CA.
It amazes me that there are so many educated "adults" who believe that two people must agree with each other on EVERY issue to become compatible as a team to work together for the good of something they both want. Mr. Biden is a great choice, they don't need to agree on everything as the RNC, and the HillBillies would have us believe. Or is it that the RNC, and the HillBillies are neither educated or adults? To those HillBillies who are not going to vote, do us all a favor and stay home, PLEASE, don't vote, that way, you wont be able to speak for the next 8 years about anything concerning life in the US.
117 thousand people in Florida decided to throw away their vote in the year 2000....people upset by one thing or another...people not willing to look beyond themselves and vote Nader instead of Gore.
Those relatively small number of people DOOMED us to eight years of George W. Bush.
Those of you who would use your vote as a petulant weapon rather than wise decision? Please, do our nation a favor and just STAY HOME. You don't have to choose the obvious change in direction represented by Obama/Biden.
Just don't help DOOM us to at least 4 more years of the worst administration in history.
Thank goodness. Biden has the experience Obama lacks. This may be a winning ticket.
Valerie and others who say they will not vote for Obama because Clinton is not on the ballot:
When McCain is elected and appoints a Supreme Court which reverses Roe V. Wade, look in the mirror and thank yourself.
When McCain keeps the Iraq debacle going on and on and on, and more American kids die there, look in the mirror and thank yourself.
When the economy keeps its downward spiral because McCain will continue policies which favor corporations over individuals, look in the mirror and thank yourself.
Need I go on?
I have one thing to say. Goodbye Democratic Party, Hello Independent.
I am through with the Democratic party.
Great choice. To all with common since. these so called hillary supporters who are posting on the blog are NOT hillary supporters. just republicans trying tricks and untruths as usually. There leader does the same.
So much for the text message roll out.
Biden couldnt keep his mouth shut for 5 minutes LOl
Big mouth Biden I swear. Oh well...I liek this pick.
Obama/Biden 08!
p.s. THANK GOD ITS NOT the DEVIL'S MISTRESS HILLARY
I think Biden is a great choice.
I was an avid Bill Richardson supporter, but I was only half hoping for him to get VP because frankly I think he would be well suited for Secretary of State.
Although it is a little unconventional, I think Obama should start announcing some of his picks for cabinet positions a little at a time. Strategically planning these announcements for times when the campaign needs a boost could bolster the excitement about the new administration and keep the momentum going.
I AM SOOOO HAPPY! After the Convention NO MORE CLINTONS! I am behind this ticket 1000% (anything without the last name Clinton would work for me). He is not obligated to please some of you. And like someone said earlier that "thousands will join them in voting for McCain". But MILLIONS will be voting for Obama/Biden. Although I am sad not to see a text message, I totally support the Democratic ticket, that's what Democrats do. Why don't you die-hard "supporters" (although you guys seem way more like Kool-Aid drinkers than an Obama supporter. Who supports someone... who supports someone else and isn't even running anymore?) just go ahead and start your own party? You can call it the "PUMA party" and you can make up rules, then change them as you go along to get whomever you want nominated. Oh! You can nominate only family members of politicans, so that way you don't have to worry about the task of actually paying attention to the issues, because politics is all relative! Then, you can have really divisive primaries, then split into two parties! See? Its very simple, vote spite. Who cares about wars, health care, the economy and the housing market. That crap gets in the way of my feelings.
Obama/Biden 08!
I understand the anger by the Clinton supporters. I thought she was treated unfairly by the media and the Obama campaign. I also think that Obama made a huge mistake by not even pretending to vet Hillary, and it will likely hurt them. However, what you must remember is that this contest isn't about Hillary or Obama but rather about changing the direction of this country. Do you really want to allow your spitefulness to cause another death in Iraq? A war with Iran? or to allow the continuation of the policies of the Bush administration? If yotu believe that direction is wrong, and you want something different, and better, then you will vote for Obama-Biden. Biden is very close to Hillary and treated her with a lot of respect respect throughout the primaries, they are good friends and have similar policies. You accuse Obamacons, rightly, that they focus so much on Obama the person that they fail to see the issues, yet by allowing your spite to cause you to vote against your on best interests, you are doing the same thing. Think about this before voting for Sen. McCain. if you agree with his policies, positions, then vote for him. He does have some good arguments on his side, but so do the democrats. I guess what I'm saying is give it some real thought before deciding who to vote for, based on policy positions and the issues, and not on hurt feelings, no matter how rightly you hold them.
PUMAs and If-not-Clinton-then-McCain voters simply amaze me with their staggering, seemingly even willful naiveté. What a bunch of bleeting cult-of-personality sheep. Ask yourself this: Who is Hillary voting for? Obama. Why? Because - duh! - primary scrapping aside, Clinton and Obama have always been really pretty close on matters of substance: healthcare; trade; economics; and - here comes the trump card - the kind of Justices they'd appoint. McCain is on the other side of the fence, remember? Do you people pick a President like you'd vote for high school prom king/queen? If you'd even THINK about voting for McCain, then how could you have ever supported Clinton? And if you wanted Clinton - and the policies and positions she supported - then how could you now not vote for Obama? Really. What are you THINKING?!
Excellent Choice Obama!!
Its time for a change...this is the year of a New Beginning... '08
Hey Obama... I still ain't gonna vote for you. This country has had enough Arrogance and Inexperience to last us a lifetime.
HILLARY SUPPORTERS!!! WAKE UP!!! THE MEDIA TREATED HER UNFAIRLY OBAMA NEVER CONSIDERED HER 4 VP, HE LIED, FLIP FLOP, HIS NOT A MAN OF HIS WORD!!!! THE BEST CHOICE IS MCCAIN READY TO LEAD!!!!!!!! AND PUTS HIS COUNTRY FIRST A REAL MAN OF HIS WORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!P.O.W. MCCAIN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Republican presidency in the bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a winning ticket – Joe Biden, is a magnificant person. He adds wisdom to our ticket. As for the Hillary Clinton supporters – get on board. Not voting for the Dem. ticket only means no health care, high gas. You are crazy if you think the Rep. Party cares about you or your family. They are hoping you do vote for McCain or stay home. Votes are not emotional choices, but survior choices. We can't survive another four years of the Rep.
God bless America
Obama is 46 years old and Biden is 65 years old. So much for thinking differently and change. How is Obama going to do that with his 65 year old mentor/father as his VP? If he really was all about change he would have stuck to his guns and picked Clinton and sucked it up for the good of the party and would have been rewarded with a win come November. This just proves he has no clear clue on what he is doing. I guess the McBush saga will continue on. Clinton in 2012 for me.
All these Obama supporters crying about "where's my text message" is hilarious. Is that what is really important to you? This just shows the shallowness of many of his supporters. CNN was doing their job as a news organization, reporting the news to the public as soon as possible.
I respect Joe Biden only because he once told the media that Obama was needing on the job training, and he voted for the Iraq War, same as Hillary. He was thinking of our safety not being a follower as Obama is. All I see is another Bush and Cheney.....same old politics for someone who preaches "Change" Come on people wake up and see the pattern......Obama is nothing but an arrogant, cocky person, just like Bush was.
I was life long Democrat, now changing to Independent. Never will I support the DNC again. They sabotaged the chance of us having a brilliant, intellegent experience candidate like Hillary, and I won't ever forget that. Hillary supporter with many others in coalition who will now vote for McCain.
For those who think we should be unified...thank Obama for not having picked Hillary. McCain is not another Bush, his a sincere and experienced candidate. The Supreme Court decision is not a vital issue over our protection, and ONLY McCain can do that.
Stop calling Hillary supporters pathetic or whining, we are entitled to our own vote and our own choice. We owe nothing to a party who betrayed us.
Was it Biden's "clean,black coment" about Obama that convinced him. What a joke!
FIRED UP! READY TO GO! It doesn't matter who is selected as Obama's VP he had my vote from day 1. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. OBAMA/BIDEN 08
To all the comments from those closet Republicans who supposedly voted for Clinton and would chose McCain over Obama. You are the real idiots– Clinton and McCain could not be more opposite ideologically. Either you are crazy or racist; or maybe you are all closet McBushies!!!
This is GREAT news! We now have a bona-fide street fighter that can take care of the attacks from the Republicans and allow Barack to stay on message and force McCain to focus on the issues!!! YAY! I am so tired of the "alleged" Clinton supporters (we know you are Racists and/or Republicans trying to stir up trouble) saying they are going to vote for McCain. I say go right ahead. You know there is no way you were ever voting for Obama anyway. Quit trying to create excuses to not support Obama. Hillary is not an option. Let's just agree that they both were good candidates, but somebody had to lose. There can only be one President at a time. Anyway, Hillary now supports Obama. She has nothing in common with McCain. If you were a TRUE Hillary supporter, you would support the candidate she supports instead of going against everything she stands for (which is what a vote for McCain does). This is not about McCain, Obama, or even Hillary Clinton. It is about choosing the best President. You have 2 choices. You can put away your petty differences, be an adult and vote for the person that supports your issues, or you can vote against your interest in trying to "teach somebody a lesson (who, I have no idea)" and thus contribute to the continued destruction of America. Choose Wisely and pick the person with the intelligence, stamina, temperment and judgement to solve the very difficult challenges the US faces that were brought on by the Bush administration. We all know that person is not McCain. Anyway, I think Biden is an excellent choice. Great job Senator Obama! Democrats unite, we can win!!!!
Obama/Biden 08
i would say that BIDEN is smarter and more respected than anyone in the senate, this is a tough ticket to beat.
HILLARY would have been a good running mate, but also a political one- plus, is this generally fearful and young country ready for a WOMAN
and a BLACK MAN ? perhaps not friends....
john mc same
And I was so looking forward to that text message.
Jay August 23rd, 2008 1:46 am ET
"Hillary sunk her own ship. Who in their right mind would choose Hillary after all the terrible things she said. I would rather see him lose, than win with Hillary. I'm sure he feels the same way. It's sad that she wanted it so bad, that she was willing to sell her soul to the devil. Bill and Hill are the past, Obama is the future. YES WE CAN!!!"
___________________________________
Hillary Clinton said 'terrible' things? Obama has said and done worse things. Both him and his wife have made several negative, unpatriotic statements about America. Heck, his wife has even went so far as to say that she has never been proud of her country in her entire adult life. The unpatriotic remarks made by Obama and his wife were more terrible than anything Clinton has said.
Now I think you should rephrase your question: Who in the right mind would vote for "Obama" after all the terrible things he said?
Hillary or McCain '08.
If you'd rather have more of Bush than Obama, you're an idiot and no better than a terrorist, and you deserve to be deported.
All of these Hillary supporters voting for McCain out of spite... talk about shooting Americans in the foot. What ever happened to voting on issues. Obama's and Hillary's positions are so similar and certainly more so than Hillary's and McCain's.
Only a true fool would let their emotions inflict another 4-8 years of the same crap on America. Seriously people, I know you're disappointed, but let's act like adults and do what is better for the common good. Get these GOP crooks out of office.
Are you kidding me. I will not vote for Obama now that I see
who he has chosen for a VP. Clearly he is of poor judgement for
the american people. He has made my mind up tonight.
No Hillary meant I'll not vote. Good luck to the Democratic Party.
Great choice! Obama had to go with someone who will not stand in his way. Think about it... If he had picked Hillary, there would be too many egos around the white house...after all ...Hillary was the first lady and Bill Clinton was the president.... Do you think they will listen to Obama??? Heck no!
As for those Hillary supporters, be real. If you were a democrat before Hillary then you should always be. Otherwise, for your selfish reasons to support McCain because Hillary failed to win more voters than Obama just show your true color of not being a true sport. Lost is a lost and win is a win. Go ahead and vote for McCain and if he does win you will always lose! But then again I think it more of "I am not voting for a black dude" rather than voting for your party.
Obama/Biden 08/12!!!!
P.S. If John McCain cannot remember how many homes he own, he will never remember how many voters voted for him. To him, it's like... oh.....thank for voting for me..... Now go buy my wife's beer brand.....if your kids die in my war, they will be called heroes....thank for having your war babies...have a nice life!
DEMJ
Mr. Obama congratulations......you picked the best running mate.
Obama's arrogance has finally blinded him into eating his own head.
He will definitely lose the election. He will also lose the primaries in 2012.
I am definitely for McCain now. Pity McCain can not make Hillary his running mate because she will not take it.
My vote and that of my wife go to McCain because he can work with a Democratic congress.
Biden will shoot the campaign to pieces. He is fond of saying the wrong joke.
Welcome President John McCain and Democratic Congress.
It seems like the democrats have now a killer ticket to go against the oil party. Good job Mr. OBAMA....Hillary supporters need to stop whining. If they have been better for the last 8 yrs of BUSHEED, then go ahead and vote for MacBush 3. Or it seems like republicans are signed here in pretending that they are democrats or independents!!
Can someone explain to me why the price of oil is going down now?? Response is: OIL PARTY TACTICS. There is alot to say here, but I can't stand and watch my uncle and aunty who are struggling now because of their houses were foreclosed....
OBAMA / BIDEN 08
PUMA...Just put a sock in it already. If you have as much gravitas as you think you do in this election, then let it be seen in November. Your constant infantile ranting right now is so annoying that it makes me want to set myself on fire rather than listen to it!
Grow up already...She lost in the game she invented. In that light, she should have made the rules more favorable to her before she came into the arena!
Now that I got that off my chest let me rejoice in this spectacular moment...
Wooohoooo, I am luvin' his choice in Biden. He will eat McWar alive and have a Dubbya chaser to wash him down!!!
Obama/Biden 08 B 4 it's 2 late!!!
McCain/Rice '08!
Too bad most of Obama's supporters are already asleep as it is past their beddiebye. I can't wait to hear them bawling in the morning!!!
Thank you Obama! This makes it soooo easy to vote for McCain in November.
I'm not voting for Mr. Obama .... I was already disillusioned with the republican party ..... the Democracts gave me a reason today to stay away from casting my vote altogether. I am having a very hard time figuring out the lesser of the two evils this election cycle!
NoOBiden!
I am from Europe and I really don't understand all of you Democrats who don't want to vote for Obama. Reading through all your comments, it's obvious that your main reason is :
--> TO PUNISH OBAMA !!!
I am sorry to be disrespectful, but irrespective of how much you dislike Obama and want to get your own back on him for not choosing Hillary as his VP or anything else ...
... don't y'all think it would be better for yourself to choose what happens to you in the next years in terms of the money you'll have in your pockets, the healthcare you'll receive, as well as personal freedom and the right to privacy you gradually lost after 9/11 (patriot act, etc.) ? Why don't you choose based on issues and on what direction your country will go ? Do you really think that's less important than punishing one single person ? And by the way ... what for ? He has to choose somebody he feels he can work well together with. It's a bit like a marriage. Do you want to force somebody to marry someone he or she doesn't feel comfortable with? You wouldn't want this yourself either.
Clintonistas ban together...Hillary wasn't given the a chance...I'm not supporting NObama...Vote McCain!
Join me in a write in for Hillary!...Clintonistas!
Obama people are so blind in their thinking that Obama can do no wrong that they are actually thrilled that he just picked a VP that has said many times that Obama is not ready to be President.
Obama wasn't going to go negative, but McCain suckered him in. So the wimpy Obama decided he needed an attack dog. So he picks a McCain like old white guy who has been in Washington longer than anyone can remember. McCain can now throw Obama's change mantra right back in his face. And his own VP will provide for McCain a wealth of his own personal sound bites saying Obama is not ready to be President.
Hillary would have united the party. Biden just provides fuel for the McCain campaign. Sure, Biden will go on the attack. But it all can be thrown back in Obama's face.
Obama has messed up. You will see this in the new polls that will now show less undecideds. I wasn't going to vote. Now I will be voting for McCain just so I am heard very loud and clear!
wow, the PUMA people are like a cult. They REALLY worship Hillary.
It seems in their minds that ONLY she can be president, else screw the world.
Jeeze, drop your messia worship
Nobama just lost ... by 15% points!!!
Re-defeat communism in '08. Moderate democrats unite. McCain in 08
Biden is a great choice.
PUMA put up with or "shut the hell up" and join the idiotic right wing crowd and vote republican.
It doesn't matter in the end; Obama is the next president. Not just for the sake of winning, but for the greatness of the United states of America. I am sure 4 years from now, you will all regret or lie about the fact that you didn't vote for Obama.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08,12
It's funny how you guys mock Hillary supporters with Messiah label when you guys drink anything Obama serves.
I'm crushed it's not Hillary. We are screwed. We are screwed. Hillary would've been the best choice. I'm nauseous!
Any idea which party controls the 10 poorest cities in the US?
Answer: Dems. – So much for being the standard bearer of the poor!
All this Hillary nonsense is laughable. Are these people REALLY so naive and pompous that their love for her over rides love of COUNTRY? NO! It's Republicans hiding behind PUMA. It's a GOP funded group...wolf in sheeps clothing. I don't buy it for a second. Give up SUPREME COURT positions out of SPITE??? Some American you are.
IF YOU WANT MORE PAIN, VOTE JOHN McCAIN. OTHERWISE, STOP THE DRAMA AND VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!
CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!
We Hillary supporters thought the Obama campaign would at least offer her the VP spot. Well let's do the math here. Obama plus Hillary was a 36 million vote headstart and a short route to the White House. Now it's 18 million trying to come up with 55 million likely needed votes to get to the White House. Good Luck on getting those 37 million votes. More than that Good Luck on getting the electoral votes. This is a mess now for us Democrats. This just poured more salt in the wounds instead of unifying the party. I have voted Democrat in all five previous elections, but will sit this one out.
I think that this is the last nail in Obama's coffin so to speak! He has been pimping Hillary Clinton supporters by pretending to consider Hillary when he knew that he would never pick her. I am a black woman who will not vote for Obama but will for the first time vote Republican. This was so stupid and such a slap in the face of women that I feel that by the end of this week that he will be down 10 points because women are the number one voters in the democratic party and just like myself and my female friends most of us will see this as the biggest democratic mistake of all and Obama will join the other list of democratic losers!
Mccain '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should choose Hillary,Now he is going to loose.
I'm satisfied with Biden, However I have a message for Puma people. blacks have always supported the democratic party. If Puma spits the Democratic Party in Nov. Blacks will never vote for Clinton in 2012, or any other year. So Puma People please fall in line. Blacks put Bill Clinton in office. Get over it puma.. Its over!!!!!!
some of u worship Hillary the way suicide cult leaders worshipped David Kerrish, and the way republicans worship Reagan.
Don't cut off your noses to spite your face.
McCain's ad opens by turning Obama's housing problem attack back on Obama. The narrator says Chicago real estate developer Tony Rezko, one of Obama's "biggest fundraisers" helped Obama buy his "million-dollar mansion" by purchasing property that Obama couldn't afford. The ad goes on to charge that Obama helped Rezko receive "political favors" including "$14 million from taxpayers," and it points out that Rezko is now a convicted felon.
It's untrue that Rezko got "$14 million from taxpayers" for himself, as the ad seems to be saying. The "help" to which it refers is a one-page letter Obama signed in October 1998 urging the city housing commissioner to support an apartment project for low-income senior citizens. A copy went to the state housing development authority. The 97-unit Cottage View Terrace, which opened in 2002, was funded with taxpayer money, and Tony Rezko was involved in developing the project.
He will lose in Nov. for sure.
No Hillary = No vote for him.
VoteForYourself! I agree...mostly!
I don't think that a vote for Hilary should be a vote for Obama by default. But I do feel that it is every voters responsibility to select the best candidate from the two available.
If as an educated voter you select candidate X then great. But if you select a candidate simply based on party, last name, or in defiance...than you have failed your country! Voting is not just a right, it is a responsibility!
Excellent Hillary, I am glad that you avoid a losing team. I am a Demoncrat voting Republican this Nov...sound familiar. I think Obama did a huge favor for Republican Party by winning the Demoncract's nomination.
Obama should have picked Hillary.
He's not getting my vote anymore
My vote is gone
I recall Obama telling the media that anything we hhear FROM ANYONE but him should not be taken as a fact. He will be the one to tell us. What is wrong with you CNN? You guys are starting to act like a gossip rag!
Great choice Obama. Now let's go on and win this thing. It's the Dems turn. The Repubs have messed things up long enough. My house will be voting Obama/Biden.
did someone say gaffe?
A new exciting path begins for our country today!
Today, we lost 1,000 – 10,000 angry, bitter, crybaby Hillary supporters.
Today we also lost a "hole in the head", which describes exactly how much Obama "needed" Clinton, for "Deb in Texas"
Today, we began the journey to gain back our country from the ravages of the Bush administration, lobbyists and PACs.
Today, we gained 1,000 Republican & Independent supporters for every single one of the angry Hillary supporters like "Deb in Texas", "HIllary is the Best with the stuck CAPS key", "cam", and "Terry". We could not have gained them if McCain kept playing TV ads featuring Hillary Clinton's primary comments from now to November ending with the voice over: "even his Vice President said so".
1000×1000 + 1000×1000 and 1000×10000 + 1000×10000.
Do the math! [Hint: it's 2 followed by the total number of zeroes. Or use the calculator on your computer]
Getting his own "tax credit" wrong: McCain was badly wrong in what he said about the child "tax credit." The current child tax credit is $1,000, and McCain is not proposing any increase at all. What McCain actually is proposing is a gradual increase in the $3,500 exemption for each dependent child, starting in 2010 and increasing $500 each year until it reaches $7,000 in 2016. On his Web site McCain describes this as a "doubling" of the exemption, but even that is misleading. According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the exemption is expected to go up to $4,200 per child in that time period under current law, which calls for annual adjustments for inflation.
The distinction between a tax credit and a tax exemption is both basic and significant. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of tax owed. An exemption is much less valuable to taxpayers, as it merely reduces the amount of income subject to tax. An exemption is also more valuable to upper-income taxpayers, who fall into higher tax brackets, than to middle- and lower-income taxpayers.
One of the greatest damage done to our beloved country USA since the inception of this current administration is in the foreign diplomacy arena. It was made worst when our beloved soldier soldiers, Colin Powell was frustrated out. Senator Biden has been a strong advocate when it comes to projecting a strong, dynamic and respectable foreign diplomacy. As a Vice President, he is surely going to compliment President Obama's generational governance.
Kudos to the Democrats. Let us rally around these choices and collectively work hardest to bring about the long lost respect our deserved.
Was a Republican, then Independent but returning to Democratic Party to help produce a president and vice president with visions.
Well Sen,Obama first major decision as a Presidential candidate and HE GOT IT RIGHT !!!!! PERFECT WAY TO BALANCE THE TICKET..JUST WHAT WE NEED IN THIS COUNTRY BALANCE!!!!!
Is "Your comment is awaiting moderation" a nice way of CNN telling me that they're not going to post my comment? Yep, apparently it was as my previous comment has just gotten erased from this comment board.
So apparently those racist rants I see on this board are ok as well as the repeated name calling back and forth, but me submitting a comment where I give a g-rated, fair analysis of why someone who had voted for Clinton, would feel compelled to vote for McCain, is... bad.
You guys are in need of new moderators.
obama is a joke...change he says...biden...give me a break...i just read one of the young evangelists he solicited to give a prayer opening night just pulled out...let's bring back the mentor, friend of the bama man...the rev wright to give the prayer...gd america he will pray...and the bama man will and must agree since he subjected himself and his family to the good rev wright for twenty years...it could not be more obvious..the bama man is a fraud
Vote on the issues – not because your person didn't get the nomination or because he's democrate or republican, or because he's black or too young or too old. If Obama had picked a younger VP – you would have said they are both inexperienced. People love to complain and the world is watching. There shouldn't be any parties to chose from – no democrates, no republicans, no independents – JUST VOTE.
VOTE ON WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS – OUR YOUTH.
Watch out! Here comes Osbama Binladen.
I could'nt have said it better " What are they thinking " your right on target, I think people have forgotten what all we have been through in the past 8 years of republicans already.
This is actually the choice that I've been hoping for. A wise, sensible choice. I don't care for all the little mean-and-green reasons people have to vote against Obama. Republicans cannot stay in the White House, what kind of idiots are we as citizens if we elected the same people who've been raping our brains and stealing our purses for the last eight years.
There is no way any sane person can vote the repugnant criminal fraudster outfit called the GOP. It's the party of multimillionaires, extreme religious zealots, pedophiles and racists, the last three groups intersecting a lot lately. A vote for McCain is a vote for Mark Foley and David Duke combined.
Sane people support Obama.
Hey Allen and you pumas, get over it, Hillary is not the nominee. If you were true democrats and not republicans you would support the democratic ticket. Obama and Hillary are on the same team. When will you either join the team or reveal your true republican identity?
Well good luck to Obama & Biden not my type I will think of McCain perhaps
Who cares Hillary got screwed by Obama-Man and DNC shame on all of you idiots you can take my name off your list...........I am a very bitter female and will be writing Hillary's name on the ballot...Obama knows dam well he is not going to win after all the Hillary Supporters unite and write her name in.......so long 4 more yrs of hell
CNN is doing its job,reporting the news as soon as possible? The fact that this story was leaked just as CNN was about to air another story about Obama's brother living in abject poverty, is relavent to the anouncement of Biden for V.P.
@Allen ("WRITE in HILLARY…I WILL NOT VOTE Obama 1st time not voting for a democrate since 1981. I would rather have 8 more years of Bush than 4 years of Obama")
LOL! That's the most transparently fake post from a Republican that I've seen yet. Grow up, would you please? Fake comments like those simply clog the blogs.
GREAT CHOICE OBAMA!!! HA!HA!HA! BIDEN!!!! THE ONLY BEST CHOICE AND READY TO LEAD IS MCCAIN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Biden was my first choice for President so I am totally happy
Why is it that NO ONE, not a single Hillary active supporter is talking about the *excess* baggage that BILL (Monica revived etc..) and Hillary will bring BACK to the democratic party!!!
Folks, this is about the party. The Clintons have had their share, and because of them, Al Gore and Kerry lost all previous elections.
With Hillary on the ticket, even DEAD REPUBLICANS will rise from the grave to vote for things to get only worse in McSame!
Let's just give him the job already! The whole world seems to think he' gonna be the president, so why have the election. We should just crown him king right now. Please tell me what I am missing. I just can't see what is so appealing about him. A VERY liberal elitist is what I see and hear when he is talking.
not impressed. I mean I'd never vote for a republican, but I'm worried now there is no way we can win. :/
As a Canadian looking in I find it amazing that no one has ever mentioned that Obama is constantly being referred to as a "black man". Last time I checked, he is "bi-racial", having a white mother and black father. Has Obama forgotten his white roots? Was he not raised by his white grandparents? I think alot of white people do not like him because he has abandoned his white roots. Would it not be better to campaign as the first "bi-racial" president rather than simply "black" president. With his choice of running mate and lack of reference to his roots, Obama has committed political suicide.... Just observing from across the border.
Way to go Obama....excellent choice! Biden, with all his experience will bring nothing but excellence to your Presidnecy.....once again, way to go! Besides, with all the YES people around you, Biden is an excellent choice because he will not YES anyone...he tells it like it is!
Checkmate. This election just got more interesting. Bring it on Repubs.
Deb in Texas good can you go on McCains blog or better yet send him some money ? And while your checkbook is out could ya pay something for Hillary's insane debt ? YOU HAVE HER EGO TO THANK FOR IT .. cause we are NEVER PAYING FOR PENN
I Honestly think that Biden was the Best VP choice, Think about it. Here is Barack he is young, smart, and has great Ideas. Then here is Biden, Been involved with politics for many years, and knows how the cookie crumbles....so we got a Great ticket!
And for you Angry people waiting for a Text message, or an email....before you blow up and say it was a "SCAM!!! " Take a sec and think about how many emails and text messages needed to be sent. Come on use your Brain.
Does anyone actually believe that these supossed Clinton supporters are real? Its patently obvious that they are Republican trolls trying to reopen the wounds left from the primaries and gin up support for McCain anyway they can.
Nice try, but extremely pathetic.
Now if anyone is actually stupid enough to vote for McCain simply because of who Obama picked as VP? Then I guess you'll get what you deserve.
Oh so now Obama/Biden how about McCain/Hillary. that will be a perfect combination most experience and devotion. Wow hello republican you will get my vote
hey cnn..how about posting my comment submitted at 2:57 am..tks
Spare me the crap. You people would whine if he HAD chose Hillary saying SHE WAS HIS BIGGEST CRITIC. NO WAY?!? Her a critic? She had to try and get dirty and still lost? GET OVER YOURSELVES.
GO POUT. GO VOTE MCCAIN. AND IF BARACK LOSES YOU WILL BE THE PEOPLE WHOSE FACES I SPIT IN WHEN MY CHILD IS FORCED INTO A MILITARY DRAFT.
PUMA IS A CROCK. 60 people at PUMA CONFERENCE 08. GO TEAM.
lolololol
OBAMA – BIDEN – Change. Hope. Experience. Tomorrow!
Hey Hillary supporters and Pumas, get yourselves another blog to post on. We're tired of it. Vote for whoever you want. Just get out of our live and get one of your own.
EVERYONE LISTEN.... All of the comments about Dems jumping ship and voting for McCain are B.S. These are republicans posing as democrats trying to confuse us and desperate since the story about McCain making up ground seems to not be accurate. DONT FALL FOR THIS TRICK!
I know that some HRC supporters are saying they are going to vote for McCain now or not going to vote at all??
1) If McCain stands for what you believe in, then go ahead
2) If not going to the vote booth and exercising your right to is okay with you, then go ahead.
I know that HRC got 18 million votes and is due a certain amount of respect because of that an what she achieved as a woman – yet are Richardson, Edwards,Dodd supporters not due any respect because they were man?
And some who say that Biden voted for the war and BO shouldn't had chosen him because of that – HRC and Bayd did as well...
TO ALL PUMAS..be kind enough to help hillary sttle her debths then you came back and talks...you cant have a running mate so indebthed and so negative in her campaign, get over it
they're saying obama didnt even seriously consider hillary for the vp slot, well OBAMA, im also not considering you as the next President. WOULD RATHER HAVE MCCAIN THAN OBAMA!
This is a great choice and what we need. Now we won't hear the whining about "no experience". No, I'll take that back, the right wingers will continue to whine about this and everything else.
Are the Republicans going to run McCain/Romney? Two multi-millionaire elitists completely out of touch with the average American?
Obama/Biden–the only choice to reclaim America
MCCAIN 2008, Hillary 2012!!! Hillary, should just skip the convention...
OK how old are some of you here, your acting like 3 year olds saying "he didn't choose Hillary so I'm not going to vote for him, and instead vote for McCain."
So let me get this straight, your not happy with the way this country is being run so you back a democrat "Hillary" and she loses the primaries, then Obama doesn't choose her as a running mate, so instead of making a change in this country you would rather vote for a Bush clone. That is just stupid thinking.
I have said this before and will again, "the biggest enemy Obama has in this election is Hillary."
Obama 08
1. you HRC fans get over it: Biden is FAR more qualified for office than hillary. 30 years in the senate, head of foreign relations committee vs. first lady and 1 senate term. its a no brainer.
2. this just defused the no experience bombs McLame has been tossing– Biden has been a senator longer than he has AND can remember where he lives.
3. McLame has been trying to induce anger out of Obama so he could stick an "Angry Black Man" label on him, now Biden can be Obamas attack dog–one who is smarter, faster and tougher than McLame
The Democratic Party has lost my vote. I didn't want to vote for Obama anyway, but had planned on it on principle. That is, until his selection of Joe Biden sealed the deal. I guess that makes me undecided at the moment, other than ANTI Obama/Biden.
Man, you so-called Dems who're jumping ship and voting for McCain instead of Obama or not just sick, you're unpatriotic. How dare you wish another four years of the same on our great nation. Shame on you.
I like McCain, but he isn't very wise, nor is he presidential. Sort of like Bush.
Obama, why run against the wind?
Hillary, Hillary, Hillarey!!!
Those Pumas were/are /are/ were Republicans they are just continuing to print all this BS hoping to make Obama look bad .
Obama and Biden will be our next President and VP
If their children are draft age they can see what the McBush agenda looks like and if you believe McWar is not another Mc Bush just you wait all the old geezer wants, talks about is WAR ,SURGEand unable to count the houses they own thats elementary .
I wonder if he remembers where he took off his shoes ?? or if he has already used his Viagara for today a double nip might make him wish he was back at the Buffalo Chips come as you are party but lasting 4 hours wouldn't be adequate time to get to the party .
Ron, and all those very silly crazy anti- obama folks. Get over it or move to Canada. Obama/Biden
PUMA's aren't true Hillary Democrats. True Hillary Democrats care more about the well being of the country than seeking revenge. True Hillary Democrats realize that Hillary's campaign was about spreading a truly progressive message, and not just about simply electing Hillary.
Obama/Biden 2008!!!
Hillary 2016!!!!
Thank GOD it is not HITLERY! However, I have this inevitable feeling that Hitlery will TAKE the Nomination AWAY from Obama at the Convention and pick another female Hillary like politician to be VP.
ABC- ANYBODY BUT CLINTON!
First you promise change-then you pick a Vp like Biden-just goes to show you what Obama is reallly made of. LIES!!!
{Moderator – this is a correction to the post i just submitted. I accidently clicked send before proof reading it.}
It truly saddens me that so many Hillary supporters are harboring such animosity toward Obama. Early in the primaries, I was tossed up between Obama and Clinton (after my candidate Bill Richardson left the race) because they were so similar on the issues. Honestly, their differences on the issues were very subtle.
As the primaries unfolded, it started to become clear to me that the difference between them was character and integrity.
The Clintons were very hateful and divisive, and what bothered me most was the way Hillary padded her resume and diminished Obama's. Hillary does have slightly more experience than Obama, but truly saying that everything she has done in the 35 years since she left college has prepared her for the presidency is such a stretch. Obama may have been in the senate for only a short time, but the type of work he has done since he left college seems to be right on track with what the country needs right now. And then the sniper fire lie just made me think "wow, lying comes so naturally to her that she even embellishes something like this which doesn't even matter. How can I trust her to tell the truth about important issues?'
Listen, I enjoyed the Bill Clinton years, and I thought he was a good president. But Hillary is not bill, and the times are changing. Obama is what we need right now. And again, it is his integrity and character which impresses me above all else.
If you got all of your information from Hillary and that is the basis for what you believe about Obama, then it is seriously time for a fact check Why don't you look into him yoursef?
I'll leave you with this thought: Mark Twain once said "Anger is an acid which does more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured". This country is at a critical juncture. Please put aside your hurt feelings and think this through. What would Hillary do? Oh, that's right, she's voting for Obama.
THE ONLY LAME ONE IS NOBAMA! HE NEEDS BIDEN TO FILL IN HIS HUGE GAP OF INEXEPERIENCE AND LACK OF JUDGEMENT AND LACK OF COURAGE TO STAND UP TO MCCAIN AND HE WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT MAYBE IT SHOULD BE BIDEN/OBAMA 08, HA!HA!HA!HA!HA! IN THE SADDLEBACK FOURM NOBAMA WAS NOT FAST OR SMART OR TOUGH AT ALL AND HIS A YOUNG GUY !!! WUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! MCCAIN READY TO LEAD!!
omg Hillary does not compare to biden you kidding me!!! Please she was the wife of Clinton and that's why she was in the white house that doesnt make her experienced enough ... Hillary was not strong enough she even complaint about debates LOL !! Biden great choice!! I got the text at 3:20 am thank god I washy a CNN hugged otherwise the surprise would of been ruined.
This is a great pick for the country!
But: Now we have to intellectual constitution law professors on the ticket. And the sad truth is, that a government can´t be much better than the people, and I fear that there are more truth-over-facts-christie-flag-pin-pledge-of-allegiance-god-bless-america-pals
than people who are tough enough to understand what´s necessary to put our lovely country out of the mess. I think usually every country gets the leader it deserves. That´s really bad for Obama. I hope I'm totally wrong!
Thomas from Cincinnati, OH
-by the way: dear Hillary supporters: If she wants Obama will give her every secretary post she wants and she can do much more for the country this way than beeing VP. For a VP she really got to nasty in the primaries. That's not his fault. In spite of this, a appreciate her totally like nearly all Obama people also do. So don't be so dumb like the people that wasted our country and Hillary fights again. Unite for the well-beeing of this country!
It's sad to think of what a selfish country we lived in. Every day when we go to work and deal with our friends, we think that people are willing to lay down their own interests for the good of all. To all of those who are holding onto Hillary, I feel for you, but you are wrong. Your decisions are made of anger and spite and from this, no good will come. I never thought I would see so much hatred in this country. How could someone put a person before the issues? Your child may not die in Iraq, Iran, or even Russia, but someone else's will. You may not die or endure sickness due to lack of proper health care, but some poor person will. You may not lose your house, but thousands are every day now. And perhaps you can survive 4 more years of the same, but there are those of use who cannot. So, tell me, would you rather have it that way because "your person" lost? I am truly, truly saddened by this. Life is progressing, and one day we will have a woman president but this was not the time. Yes, she got 18 mil but so did Obama get 18 mil. So, you have to be real with yourself. It's not b/c you feel he or the DNC stole the election. You realize how close it was. It is anger and hatred. Be honest with yourself. And when you do, please, stop, pause, be quiet, pray, meditate – whatever you do. Forgive what you perceive to be the "wrongs" against you. Get out, take a walk, look at random children on the street. What do you want for them? Be honest. Then, ask God, ask yourself how we can truly heal our party and this nation. Only then will all of the strife end and true change and hope begin. May God Bless America.
I have some hard-hitting questions that Clinton supporters should ask themselves:
1. Would there be this much spite if John Edwards was the presumptive nominee?
2. What were John Edwards qualifications in comparison to Hillary Clinton?
3. Why did she have to loan her campaign 13 million dollars of her own money when she was the front runner?
4. If she's more appealing to rural voters why did she lose Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho?
5. Why did she agree on the primary dates when they were set 3 years ago, sign a contract agreeing to abide by the DNC's rules, and then try to change the rules when it became obvious she was losing?
6. Only one of the past five President's (George H.W. Bush) had documented foerign relations and policy experience prior to being elected, where's Hillary's?
7. Why are you blaming Obama for her debt which he cannot legal wipeout, and why doesn't she transfer her debt to her Senatorial campaign which she is allowed to do so she can continue fundraising?
8. Have any of you Hillary accolytes actually read the DNC's campaign rules and bylaws?
9. How is it that being Govenor of one of the least populous states in the southern US for 10 years, and having a law degree from an Ivy League school is sufficient qualification for the presidency, or being thereof is sufficient; but being a state senator and the US Senator with the same degree not qualified?
10. Is the thought of an educated, articulate, talented, respected, and charismatic African-Caucasian American as President that frightening?
No comment. I need more time to swallow. I had supprted Hillary but now I want it to "Rain McAin". Good luck Obama! -former bitter democrat
How can an informed decision be made? Sen Obama simply is not experienced and has many unresolved questions about his past. Local community outreach and state senatorial voting record of present are not enough to say he is experienced. And, as the chairman of the Subcommittee on European Affairs with jurisdiction over NATO’s operations, he hasn’t called a meeting in the two years as it’s chair.
“From CNN: But Biden, conveniently the Chairman of the full Senate Foreign Relations Committee, hit back at DeMint Thursday, writing in a letter to him that NATO's mission in Afghanistan has been dealt with at the full committee level. "Under my chairmanship the Foreign Relations Committee has addressed most Afghanistan issues at the Full Committee level," Biden wrote. "I believe that this is the best way of ensuring the most comprehensive examination of the complex issues involved, and of ensuring the highest-level Administration participation."”
Little to no experience here. Even Biden seems to doubt Sen Obama’s executive abilities.
McCain 2008 / Hillary 2012?
Who says McCain wont win a second term? If Bush can do it in the middle of an unpopular war so can McCain. That would mean McCain 2008 / Hillary 2016. Wanna keep another republican in the white house for 8 more years? I think not and democrats will vote their party.
Hello: John King was promising a story "just ahead" about George Obama. What the heck was that a signal to Axlerod to "let me break the Biden story or I'm going ahead with the brother story"?
If not, what happend to the story about George Obama? You guys are busted. I'm going where journalists at least try to be ethical. You guys are frauds.
THANK God it's NOT Hillary!!! With her tag-along dog and pony show, Bill the Brat.
I fail to see how one can support McCain and then call Obama boring.
If boring means giving you the inspiration to get up and actually do something rather than falling asleep in your chair then this country has more problems then I thought.
The country get much worse, those uneducated few that are switching to McCain BASED ON A VP PICK!!! are unbelievable.
Get Informed, Get Educated, and Don't Screw the rest of the country because of your vandetta
I have been a Democrat for 30 years (since i was 18 years old) what a poor selection, go Hillary in 4 years because he will loose Biden looks like McCain and the Republicans know how to pull it out looks like an Independant vote for me Obama you are all words and no action we need the Clinton's back and the Kennedy's out Caroline has no idea what politics is about but she chose his running mate, go home gurl Hillary for 2012
Hillary supporters it is time to get over it,and move on.She lost months ago.GET OVER IT.
I was a strong supporter of Bill Clinton.I would vote for him again,if he could run for President.I still believe he was the best President in my lifetime.He was great on turning the economy around,but Hillary is not Bill.She ran a racist campaign.She attracted racist people.She does not deserve to be VP.
I think it is anticipated that Hillary's racist supporters will vote for McCain.You never would have voted for Obama anyway.Get over it!
FINALLY HOPE AND CHANGE AND REAL LEADERSHIP AND JUDGEMENT WISDOM AND READY 2 LEAD MCCAIN 08!!!!
Yea, i too was wanting txt....guess he lied to all of us. MSNBC broke the story hrs ago
In reply to some of the post above. First off all of you whinning about your kids being drafted, if you yourself would have served your country instead of having people like me doing it for you, you would then know Obama is the one that will put your sweet security at stake. I actually fought for your right to mouth off on this board. Second I am a Puma and switched my party affiliation when I became disinfranchized by the Democratic party, So if truly beleive what your saying then maybe you should take a second look at your selectee because his left liberal leaning policies will eventually lead to communisim then whine to me about your poor babies having to serve in the military it won't be by choice then. If all you can complain about is not getting the text message first that definately shows your maturity level when it comes to picking a president. Think what you want about us puma.....People united means action.......and guess what you will see the action come November, Hillary or no Hillary the DNC will sink....Go! Mccain
OBAMA IS DONE.
HE HAS DISRESPECTED THE BEST CANDIDATE OUR COUNTRY HAS SEEN IN YEARS, SINCE HER GREAT HUSBAND BILL. OBAMA HAS RUINED OUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
DON'T LET HIM RUIN OUR COUNTRY. HE IS BAD BAD NEWS. I TRUST A WORD HE SAYS, HE IS NASTY AND NEGATIVE AND PLAYS THE RACE CARD AND HAS USED HILLARY IN A DISGUSTING WAY.
It's a wonderful thing!
Awwwwwww.... they said I would be the first to know!!!!! I just got my text msg just now....
Curses CNN... you scooped us!
I never got my text message,but that is okay.I will still vote for Obama.He is the best candidate.I also watched the news late tonight.I learned of Obama's choice after midnight.I expect a lot of people will not know until later this morning.I do not believe he broke his promise to let supporters know his choice first.It is the news media that broke the news.It is not his campaigns fault.Obama let his supporters know on his website,and in text messages as soon as he could after the story started leaking.I am a night owl,but most people are asleep except on the west coast.Good night!!
It's a wonderful thing! I like! I like!
The friggen Hillary morons are such a joke. They'll vote McCain out of spite. Instead of getting the Bush morons out of office, they'll go for another 4 years of the SOS, instead of being smart and getting the whole Bush clan outta there. Kinda like cuuting your nose off ta spite your face. LOL Give up Hillary supporters, maybe she can get the vote in 2016. Hope ya notice I didn't say 2012, cause Barrack and Joe will win then too. Hillary has so little "experience" where Joe has a ton of it....Great Choice Barrack!!!!!
All these Hilary supporters can go cry in their coffee in the morning. I am still trying to figure out how being the wife of a President is equal to experience. Biden has so much to offer, she probably would have picked him for her VP.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08 -- woooooo hooooo
Obama is going down for the count. What change?????? Biden is a Washington insider big time.
No Hillary Clinton, NO VOTE FOR YOU OBAMA! ONE MORE VOTE FOR McCAIN
And you Obama supporters, get over it for you are going to lose in November against McCain and whomever.
if you choose mcsame over oboma just because of clinton your idiot and never knew her issues.they never disagreed on issues you were never a real supporter of her ideas just wanted her name.
VoteForYourself writing from Europe above is right on the money. Why would you vote for Mccain and not Obama just because Hillary hasn't been put on the ticket as Veep. Do you vote for personalities or policies? You are the same people who would have accused Obama fro playing politics if he had put Hillary on the ticket. It's about someone you think will do the job and who you will be able to work with. I really don't think Obama would have been able to be in a good workring relationship with Hillary. There would have been some fightings in the background which would have made governing very impossible for Obama.
About the 'Change' argument, we all know that Obama needed somebody with lots of foreign relations experience and Biden is the best pick. We all know that Hillary's foreign experience resume was found wanting during the primaries and the GOP would have capitalised on that. Already the GOP are trying to attach Biden alleging he himself had highlighted Obama's lack of experinece. Imagine what would have happened had Hillary been on the ticket. How would she had been able to defend Obama on negative issues that she had used to attack him?
I'm in Australia and I reckon Biden is the best choice Obama has made of his veep. People go vote for this guy if you are truly honest with your conscience!
I can't believe some of you people. I don't know why you people think he owed her anything. This is a presidential race. No one should pick someone because she is owed it. People get real. I am a republican. But I can see myself why He pick Biden. Hell I would have too. I will vote for him just because he showed integrity and made his own choice. And I was a hillary supporter. If this is the case All presidents would choose the looser if that is what was owed to the looser. Get real people. And for you people say that you will not vote because of his choiec, that is stupid. Especially you women, look what women had to go through just to get their voices heard to vote. But I will say, CNN hit the nail right ont he head when they said some people will vote for the other or will not vote because he was not of their race. How ignorant of people. God will shame you for this. Underneath the skin we are all the same and bleed the same. And you know what else, I have had so many people in my family loose their homes and McCain can not even remember how many houses he has. That should tell you that not only is he slow, you can tell that he has never had to really deal with real life problems. I was listening to him the other day stating that he wanted people to have the choice to send ther kids to the good schools like he and Cindy sent their kids. Why bus/charter your kids to other areas? Just give the poor schools money. That would be the reasonable thing to do. He is the one out of touch and not understanding the real life issues that people deal with.
This is real people, stop hating and vote for what is good for you and your family. Aren't you all tired of the bickering because Hillary did not get chosen. But my question is why should he be forced to vep her. I wouldn't If I was in his shoes. Look what kennedy did, he chose someone he did not care for, but it was for the good of the country of the choice he made. I can't believe people today are just as ignorant as people where years ago. No I see why our country is full of hatred and smears. I just lost a kid due hatred because he was black. And to think people are so hateful. I just don't understand.
And why would this country of demoncrats refuse to vote for another democrat know that the only thing McCain ever talks about is war, his vietnam experience, or how to win the war. Tell me what is there to win, I even lost a loved one in this wasteful war. He sound just like Bush war, war, war, war, war. Get real people. Loose what I have lost, 2 lives in 4 months. Get real and wake up.
If Florida and Michigan get full votes at convention and use those numbers in the primary count HIllary won. This is a prime example of the failure of the leadership at the DNC and why I am afraid that combined with VP pick Obama will lose in November.
What a fantastic choice!
And to Hillary supporters, I'm absolutely serious when I say that Hillary can be far more effective and influential as a high level cabinet member than as VP. I think this'll turn out to be the best arrangement for everyone.
It's a good night.
I don't think this thing will even be close now. Obama picked an 8 term senator and is calling himself the candidate for change??? The guy is a charlatan, pure and simple. Talks to the people with his preachy reverand voice and basically says nothing. He showed how innept he was during the debate..McCain was decisive while he was all "ummm...well... ummm.. thats above my pay grade" . Without a teleprompter he's shows just what a lightweight inexperienced empty suit he really is. McCain has plenty of flaws as a candidate but between the 2, he's a far better choice with his experience and knowledge than Obama would be.
McCain 08!
Well, that put the nail in the coffin. No Hillary= a vote for McCain. Way to go Obama...your inexperience and poor judgement are more clear than ever.
I just don't get why Hillary supporters are so pist at Obama. She wailed on him happily for 15 months and acted like she was annointed. He simply beat her in the delegate race. If she didn't have just a Super Tuesday strategy she'd likely be in Obama's spot, but it's not his fault he ran a better campaign.
If you are pist, be mad at her campaign, the media or whatever.
Did you really think Obama could govern with Hillary and Bill next door. The idea of it is fantastic, but they are simply too powerful to play second string. It would not have worked.
Hillary will play a big part in getting universal healthcare done and Bill will help repair our image along with Showing the world we can vote in the best candidate regardless of race or age.
Let's just BEAT these idealogues with brains and savvy and get our reputation and economy back. 8 years of mismanagement is enough.
SUPER CHOICE!!......DIDN'T BIDEN SAY ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, THAT OBAMA WAS NOT EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO SIT IN THE OVAL OFFICE....NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE PRESIDENT??
THAT STATEMENT IS GOING TO COME BACK MANY TIMES TO HAUNT HIM!!! AS A REPUBLICAN, I'M EXTREMNELY HAPPY WITH HIS CHOICE OF BIDEN!!
JOHN MCCAIN WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!.....THANK GOD!!!!
if the democrats wanted joe biden as vice president, wouldn't they have given him 18 million votes?
This shows that Obama is ready to lead! He has pick the very best of VP contenders and shown his superior judgement and wisdom! Obama-Biden '08! It is understandable for Clinton supports to be disappointed but it is time for all of us to rally around our to canidates! Clinton is sure to have a place in the Obama-Biden administration! She has made history and will continue to but Biden is the BEST possible pick for the Vice President! Hope Pray and Vote for change!!
Obama-Biden '08!!!!
the dream ticket now is a nightmare ticket.angel
Obama has no respect for Bill Clinton - he made it clear by saying that Reagan and Republicans had all good ideas and ignored the most successful presidency of Clinton. If there was any change in democratic politics after Kennedy's it was Clinton's. He successfully worked with a highly confrontational Republican controlled house and senate, made the right choices for the country and left it economically more sound.
Hillary is the first democrat to run based on that legacy of Bill's, and came very close to winning the primary. Instead of showing respect for the Clinton administration and Hillary, Obama decides to ignore Hillary. I doubt Bill or Hill will go to bat for Obama this fall.
This ill treatment of democratic successes and base should cost Obama a lot. His arrogance should put him in the right place - in the group of naive democratic also ran's. Pragmatism and working with adversaries is key to good governance - even when they are trying to impeach you
F A N T A S T I C!!!!
Obma/Biden.....WOW. Wonderful
great choice. Right combination.
I love how everyone is upset because they wanted a VP who voted against the war. That would only leave Kucinish. I'm sure we would all love to have that idiot onthe ticket. No matter who Obama picked, it would have been somebody who voted for the war. If you base you vote on taht alone, you truly don't need to be voting. There are many issues you have to think about when voting. Not just on one.
By any chance did this leak to the press that Biden had been chosen come immediately after Hillary was told she didn't get the job?
I think Hillary and her Ellen Jamesians (World According to Garp reference) are the most spiteful selfish anti-Americans I've ever seen.
On August 28 when Barack Obama officially speaks as the first African American nominee for president it will mark a monumental milestone in American history. It's importance to not only black Americans but people all over the world who belief in justice and yearn to find the best in human nature will be enormous. The history of the United States has been tainted by racism. This speech in Denver is a major step toward healing.
For Hillary Clinton's supporters (not all of them, just the militants) to want to destroy that beautiful moment for people who will be watching with tears in their eyes all over the world is despicable.

("I just signed up on the McCain web site — Democrats for McCain....I supported Hillary Clinton throughout the primaries. There is absolutely no chance I will consider BO now...")
You don't expect us to believe that you are a democrat? may be you think you can fool us but it's easy to distinguish a fake post from a republican.
Protip to McCain's Campaign:
When your rival announces his running mate before you do, do not issue an attack/negative statement within 15 minutes of the announcement. Wait 12 hours, when everyone's awake.
Everything McCain lets his campaign get away with just drives me that much farther from him. GET CONTROL OF THIS – DOES NOT LOOK GOOD (because he's either not in control, or he's a paranoid hate monger).
Protip Txt ppl:
I blame the networks. Obama made them sit on the news until the 23rd, and they took it literally. Once it was midnight, they broke the news. How the heck is Obama's people supposed to beat that?
still have not recieved email.i recieved every other one asking for donations,but,everyone in the world knew before i did.biden is not change.big mistake ,barack.
To all you PUMA's, go ahead and whine, get it out of your system now. IF you decide to either stay at home and not vote or even worse vote for McCain, you can wish all women's rights that have been fought for good bye!
To some of you women, who continue to cry for Hillary to be written in, what are you all thinking about? She has battled hard and lost, but she is not forgotten. She will be part of a new democratic party that will change the mess we are in now. She will have a chance not for 4 or possibly 8 years but might have a chance to sit on the most important "bench" in the USA for a very long time and avoid the McCain train wreck he wants to do.
Give it a break, please....
To all your republicans who pose as democrats – get a life!
With this choice, what else do the accusers have to say – nothing!
Americans I present to you the President of the United States of America – Barack Obama and Vice President, Joe Biden.
When change, judgement to lead and experience are combined, the evil forces of the 'rebugs' can't stand, shaa shaa!!
Obama still had a chance with some of us if he respected our 18 million voices. But he didn't even consider HRC and had an aid give her the news. What a slap in the face to her supporters.
Deceive yourself all you like. We are democrats, and we care about the country. that's why we are voting for McCain.
Wanting the best for America is not something we should GET OVER. Nobama!!!!
I campaigned for Hillary from the day she announced her candidacy, throughout the entire drawn-out primary, and I am proud that I was elected as a delegate for Hillary to the Convention in Denver. And I am proud to unite and pull our party and country together, as Sen. Clinton has requested of all her supporters, in working our hearts out to elect Sen. Barack Obama as president and Sen. Joe Biden as vice president. Every Hillary supporter I know feels this way. I suspect most of the comments here that claim to be from bitter Hillary supporters are in fact written by Republican "trolls" seeking to stir up trouble. Do a few "PUMAs" exist? Sure, but so few as to be statistical noise.
YEA I AGREE, A TRUE DEMOCRATE WOULD SEEK REVENGE FOR 2004 NO MATTER WHO'S ON THE TICKET. SO LET THE FAKES & BITTER CAST THEIR VOTE FOR THE MOST DANGEROUS REPUBLICAN NOMINEE OF ALL TIMES (SEN J. Wc CAIN), LET THEM GO INDEPENDANT (ABOUT WHAT 60 PPLE AT ALL??) THEY WILL STILL COME SHORT ON NOV WHEN SEN OBAMA CLINCHE ANOTHER VICTORY .DEJA VU OVER AND OVER AGAIN.....
200 000 GERMANS HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT.
THOUSANDS X-REPUBLICANS HAVE JOIN THE RANKS.SWING STATES WILL WANT TO BE ON THE WINNER SIDE.
PU (Party Unity) WILL BE TRIUMPHANT WHEN THE DUST IS SETTLED ....
AND YOU CAN POST THESE STATS TO JOHN KING (The man with the magic map next to the stage at the Convention)
