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)

GO DEMS

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.

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!!!!

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!!

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!

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.

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?

Nevada

("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.

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 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.

great choice. Right combination.

F A N T A S T I C!!!!

Obma/Biden…..WOW. Wonderful

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

the dream ticket now is a nightmare ticket.angel

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!!!!

if the democrats wanted joe biden as vice president, wouldn't they have given him 18 million votes?

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!!!!

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
:)

It's a wonderful thing! I like! I like!

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!!

Awwwwwww…. they said I would be the first to know!!!!! I just got my text msg just now….

Curses CNN… you scooped us!

It's a wonderful thing!

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.

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

Yea, i too was wanting txt….guess he lied to all of us. MSNBC broke the story hrs ago

FINALLY HOPE AND CHANGE AND REAL LEADERSHIP AND JUDGEMENT WISDOM AND READY 2 LEAD MCCAIN 08!!!!

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!

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

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

THANK God it's NOT Hillary!!! With her tag-along dog and pony show, Bill the Brat.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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!

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.

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!!

{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.

First you promise change-then you pick a Vp like Biden-just goes to show you what Obama is reallly made of. LIES!!!

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!

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!!!!

Ron, and all those very silly crazy anti- obama folks. Get over it or move to Canada. Obama/Biden

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 .

Obama, why run against the wind?

Hillary, Hillary, Hillarey!!!

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.

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.

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

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

MCCAIN 2008, Hillary 2012!!! Hillary, should just skip the convention…

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

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!

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

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…

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!

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.

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 cnn..how about posting my comment submitted at 2:57 am..tks

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

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.

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.

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

Checkmate. This election just got more interesting. Bring it on Repubs.

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!

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.

not impressed. I mean I'd never vote for a republican, but I'm worried now there is no way we can win. :/

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.

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!

Biden was my first choice for President so I am totally happy

GREAT CHOICE OBAMA!!! HA!HA!HA! BIDEN!!!! THE ONLY BEST CHOICE AND READY TO LEAD IS MCCAIN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@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.

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.

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

Well good luck to Obama & Biden not my type I will think of McCain perhaps

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?

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.

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.

Watch out! Here comes Osbama Binladen.

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.

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

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.

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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]

did someone say gaffe?

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.

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!

My vote is gone

Obama should have picked Hillary.
He's not getting my vote anymore

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.

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!

He will lose in Nov. for sure.
No Hillary = No vote for him.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!

Should choose Hillary,Now he is going to loose.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

IF YOU WANT MORE PAIN, VOTE JOHN McCAIN. OTHERWISE, STOP THE DRAMA AND VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!

CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!

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.

Any idea which party controls the 10 poorest cities in the US?

Answer: Dems. - So much for being the standard bearer of the poor!

I'm crushed it's not Hillary. We are screwed. We are screwed. Hillary would've been the best choice. I'm nauseous!

It's funny how you guys mock Hillary supporters with Messiah label when you guys drink anything Obama serves.

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

Nobama just lost … by 15% points!!!
Re-defeat communism in '08. Moderate democrats unite. McCain in 08

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

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!

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.

Join me in a write in for Hillary!…Clintonistas!

Clintonistas ban together…Hillary wasn't given the a chance…I'm not supporting NObama…Vote McCain!

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.

NoOBiden!

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!

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.

McCain/Rice '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!!!

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

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.

Mr. Obama congratulations……you picked the best running mate.

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

No Hillary meant I'll not vote. Good luck to the Democratic Party.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And I was so looking forward to that text message.

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

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

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!!!

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

Was it Biden's "clean,black coment" about Obama that convinced him. What a joke!

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.

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.

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.

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

Republican presidency in the bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Obama… I still ain't gonna vote for you. This country has had enough Arrogance and Inexperience to last us a lifetime.

Excellent Choice Obama!!

Its time for a change…this is the year of a New Beginning… '08

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?!

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.
