CNN

Dose any one realy think Hill realy wants to do any of this. My gess is no. She is doing this convention FOR YOU she is doing it for the party . Senitor Clinton has my respct an vote in 8 yrs. dont know were u all get off calling your self sopoters of hers. I dont know maby u dont understand the longer u go on about this the longer she will get bad press. I realy feal bad for her it's clear she care about u and equaly as clear how littel you caer 4 her. I realy dont care about any of You but senator Clinton is a good person so be quiet and do what she asks of you Or go goin the GOP or move to mexico it is clear your not part of this party. But it is a free contry God bless the U.S.

So let me see if I get thiis straight you Pumas..... Hillary lost and you are so upset about it that you would support a man who wants to make Bush's tax cuts pemanent, end legal abortion and stay in Iraq for 100s of years. Bushy McSame sings about bombing Iran. Are you sure you really for Hillary to begin with or are you all just Republicans in a Trojan horse? Get over yourselves. Hillary was fine candidate. I voted for her. But look at her policy ideas. Who can advance them? John McCain? No wake up and grow up.

Obamaa Biden 08

I can only say...

GREAT Choice. This will slam McBush completely.
HEY and you PUMA-Freaks...
C`mon... you really think Hillary had any chance of winning the election, if she gets the nomination at the convention? She would raise hell, and you know it. 90% of the Blacks are voting for Obama, also the majority of the young people. What do you think would happen at America´s streets???

Think about it, guys.

Obama/Biden 2008

I agree with that Obama has the right to choose whoever he wants... I don't like the choice but it is his right choose who he wants...

How he did it gives us a preview of what kind of leader he will be!!!!!!!! The fact that he told HC late Friday night was cowardly!! It is a view into the character of the man......

I like Biden actual more than Obama..So maybe that is the plan get those voter who do not like of believe in Obama!!

He thinks he can do it without HC.... Ok HC supporters let's see if he can... NO HE CAN’T!!!!!!!!

Write in HC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There must be money to be made here.

Bumper Sticker:

OBAMA/BIDEN

OSAMA/BIDEN

OBAMA//BI(nla)DEN

OSAMA BINLADEN

signed : Hussein

Thats BAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biden is excellent. However, the only Dem ticket that can win now is HILLARY/ OBAMA. SUPER DELEGATES, DO YOUR JOB AND NOMINATE HILLARY AT THE CONVENTION!

Biden?

OK... President dies, Biden takes over? WRONG...

Biggest mistake Obama has made so far. I am pretty sure McCain is happy.

Lost my vote B.H.

To the Clinton supporters: How can Obama lose an election when you are the morons that won't vote for him? His policies are 95% the same as hers. Instead you will cross over and vote for the opposite and you think that the 18 million Obama supporters will support her in 2012. Being from Canada I always said Americans were dumb!!!

One thing is for sure that they can't continue making fun of McCain's age now that Biden is on the ticket and is only 5 years his junior. Sad thing is that Obama has now proven he is weak in experience and with his MANTRA of CHANGE because I believe that Biden has been and if not longer as long as John McCain in politics. And he has as many scandals brewing.

Oh, and a CAFFE maker with more issues than any of "I don't know how many houses I own" McCain. Shall we all remember his Indians/7-Eleven comment OR his 'clean and articulate' comments.

YIPPPEEEE for a fun fun ride now for president even more fun than Kerry/Bush or Gore/Bush.

This is going to be a great year for the Republicans.

Karl Rove you are a magnificent ba$tard.

How do you keep on doing this magical work?

LOL

Obama-Biden the same old DEM ticket everything is WRONG with America the world hates us etc!

JOHN MCCAIN WAS BORN IN PANAMA.....AND NOT ANY PANAMA IN THIS COUNTRY!!!

GET OVER IT ...OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!

LET'S JUST SEE MCCAIN'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE TOO!!!!!!!!!

I am a Democrat that will be voting for McCain. Oh and all my friends and family also. We are for Hillary.

Obama is a joke... he should have picked Hillary for his mate.. I would never vote Republican......This will be my first time though. Evan would have got my vote..... tooo bad soo sad

So in essence if Obama is elected we have another 4 years of the VP running the country instead of the Pres. Great.

I'M GLAD OBAMA PICKED JOE BIDEN.....HE'S AN ATTACK DOG....HE'LL GO FOR MCCAIN'S JUGULAR SO THAT OBAMA CAN GET OUT AND SPREAD HIS MESSAGE!!

GET JOHN MCCAIN JOE....LET'S GET MCCAIN MAD SO EVERYONE GET'S TO SEE HIS TEMPER! AT ALL COSTS WE CANNOT LET MCCAIN GET THE PRESIDENCY!

IF JOE BIDEN CAN PUSH ALL OF MCCAIN'S WE'LL GET TO SEE MCCAIN FOR WHO HE REALLY IS!!

I love how people think that if they don't like the outcome of something, they can plead and whine and complain until it changes. Is our adult population filled with people who still think like children? Some decisions are set in stone...people aren't always going to be around to bail you out when something doesn't go your way. Wait until 2012 when you get another chance (if Hillary even decides to run then at all - have you bothered to check with her?).

Hillary is a great female leader, but she lost the nomination. Be an adult and stop throwing temper tantrums about her losing. You're making yourself look bad.

michelle August 23rd, 2008 6:36 am ET

IT'S FULL SPEED AHEAD FOR PUMA'S.

CAN'T WAIT TIL THE CONVENTION. COME ON PUMA'S…..MAKE NOISE. BE OUR VOICE. WE DON'T OWE THE BACKSTABBING SWIFTBOATER DEMOCRATIC HILLARY HATERS AND NON BELIEVERS A THING !

VIVA HILLARY….WRITE IN HER NAME OR ANYBODY BUT BO

You know what PUMA's if your soooo dedicated to HRC how comes you have'nt paid off her debt, whaa whaa whaa!!!! Here is a tissue! I understand HRC lost but what is your problem? It's a terrible thing to be a sore loser because IF the shoe was on the other foot. We as Obama supporters would of backed ya's not play the crying game.

HERE IS WHAT i AM WONDERING: Has Obama ever produced a legit copy of that birth certificatte yet?? This all could be a moot point if he isnt a true red white and blue citizen ( of the USA that is ) HEY OBAMA PRODUCE THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!!!

Obama lost our vote

Biden, I love him. Great Senator, could be a good Secretary of State but his is no Hillary!!!!!!

Good Luck Dems, we are republicans for Hillary who are going back to base

I like the pick. Biden was my original second choice back when this thing began. He's smart, engaging, articulate, and smart as a tack. He knows issues, both foreign and domestic back and forward. He'll be an excellent vice presidential choice and a key member of an Obama administration. I like it.

McCain should ask Clinton to run with him that would be a change, it's pretty obvious Obama already doesn't care what the people think or Clinton would have been his choice.

Say what? ???

Over 4000 men & women dead from our military in iraq,
Lies, Fraud and Deception to Promote War in Iraq
Selling Oil Stock Just Before Iraq Invaded
Exposed an Undercover CIA Agent
Convicted of Drunk Driving, and Lied to Cover It Up
Foreclosure Crisis
Gas price hike
Fired US Attorneys
Handling of Katrina
Warrantless wire tapping
Wipe out the surplus received when took office
Over a Trillion dollars in debt to china
Homeless veterans doubled
Americans living off credit cards like never before

And so much more and you say worst than George Bush.
No one could be worst!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden for 2008 even if I have to crawl on my knees to the polling station.

IF Wc CAIN COULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT THEN HE WOULD MAKE 8 YEARS OF G W BUSH LOOK REALLY GOOD WITHIN 6 MONTHS IN OFFICE .LLLOOOOOLLLLLLL

Obama lost our vote
we are going with McCain

If he didn't have the judgment that Hillary was to be in his place, if not his VP with her power and 18 M voters, and his brother, did you see his brother? If he is so distance from his own brother, how can he care about us? I say McCain

Biden, I love him. Great Senator, could be a good Secretary of State but his is no Hillary!!!!!!

Good Luck Dems, we are republicans for Hillary who are going back to base

To all you petulant PUMA's lust before you place that vote for McCrypt, think about this. When all of those kids and grandkids that McCrypt will force you to have by overturning Roe v. Wade, start coming home in body bags after being mangled beyond recognition, after being used as fodder for the Republican war machine, remember that the spite vote you are about to place, put them there.

Here is my two cents worth.

FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS THE US HAD AN INEXPERIENCED
PRESIDENT WITH REGARDS TO FOREIGN POLICY.
FOREIGN POLICY WAS DEFINED BY VP DICK CHENEY.
AND OTHERS.
OBAMA WANTED CHANGE.
THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN FOR ANOTHER 8 YEARS.
BIDEN WILL DEFINE THE US FOREIGN POLICY.

The US will still not have a commander in chief if
the democrats are elected.

Right now I think that McCain who does not need a Washington
insider will win.

And that is good because I am conservative.

And I support Stephen Harper.

VOTE McCAIN 2008
VOTE HARPER 2008.

Obama selcted a wise man to advise him! Congrats. Biden and bring a new chapter in the White House.

Hillary supporters are crying funny here. They claim the number 18Million all the time but more than half of them support Obama because they respect the party.

No Hillary supporters are ready with five dollars to help her to retire her debts.

Obama/Biden combine is a new era in the American politics and bring pride back to Amrica.

carly August 23rd, 2008 3:29 am ET

Obama is going down, sorry folks, he just can not deliver the goods…

McCain/Clinton08 has a nice ring to it!!!!

Its obvious you have not done any research on your candidate's. If you would of you would see McPappy has voted against women all of his career. But hey if you want to undue what women have been able to accomplish then be my guest! But before you cast your vote i would suggest you look at who your voting for!

It's hard to believe some of the comments I'm reading here. Do people actually believe Hillary still has thos "18 Million" votes behind her ?. Sure there may be some that are still hilding on, but I've talked with quite a few people that were Hillary supporters but are now backing Obama. Why ?. Because they believe in what she believed in and they understan that she and Sen. Obama were indeed vwery much alike on many issues. Has noone been listening to what Sen. Clinton has been saying in these past few week ?. Reading comments from people that say they have been democrates all their lives but are now going to vote McCain because she is not on the ticket, what are you people thinking ?. You weren't true democrates then were you ?. Or there is the real possibilty that you'ra just a bunch of Republican trolls trying to convience the rest of us that we might lose this election and we should go ahead and switch sides. No way !. I'm not in for 4-8 more years of disgusting government, a war we don't belong in and the possibilty of future unnecessary wars. Not to mention where we are now economically speaking, thank you Bush !.

McCain all the way. I guess all the 18 million Clinton supporters will now be voting for my man McCain. And for all those women who keep harping about their reproductive and womens right to choose.....well I guess you are willing to cut your nose to spite your face.....lol
We are all Georgians!!!!!!

Jeb-

Where were you during the Democratic primary debates? Biden was non-existent and Obama can only stutter without a teleprompter. Now that it's General Election time, the only one Biden will debate is McCain's Vice Presidential running mate.
Those supporters of the Obomination that are looking forward to the debates are in for a sad awakening.

This is more proof of Sen. Obama's good judgement!!!

For all of you diehard Clinton supporters who think Sen. Obama cannot win without Sen. Clinton on the ticket, you fail to consider how big her negatives are. She would energize the Republicans and appeasing you would be the only plus. If you care about your country, it is time to stop licking your wounds and prepare to win your country back! Let's end this nightmare!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Yeah staying home looks good to me, everyone saying oh Hillary will get a cabinet position yeah right. Sure just like Obama was seriously considering Hillary for vp not. I am so done with the dems.

Obama/Biden will crush McSame

Disappointed August 23rd, 2008 3:22 am ET

Can you sell me something I don't want to buy Obama? Without Hillary you have lost me and I will write her name in this November.

Hillary 2012! Until then who cares, Obama you can win this without us Hillary supporters, or so you think.

Get over it you sore Loser!!! She is lucky she was even considered after the way she was towards him. She isnt even campaigning for him that good anyway. But yet boo hoo hoo we lost and now were going to take it out on the country, because Hillary lost fair and square. Get over it Jeez

i am very pleased with an obama/biden ticket! as for the earlier "obama's not ready" comments by biden, the good news is that as he really got to know him that opinion changed
and for the puma-oxy-rush operation chaos mutants–hillary WONT have any chance in 2008 or 2012 or ever no matter who wins this election..she didnt lose because she is a woman or because it was stolen from her. she lost because she showed the country how she operates! VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN!!

The Obama camp needs to start airing all the harsh things McCains current puppet-Romney said about McCain in the past. That will probably shut the McCain up real quickly....

thank god it was not hillary clinton. the obama supporters could not afford to pay off her debts that her puma idiots refused to do.
maybe now they will go away and play with old man McCain for awhile. we don't need them.
i can't wait for the republicans to start their airing of biden saying negative things about our new president because i remember romney slaudered McCain as well in the debates and obama will not hesitate to run the same ugly type ads to counteract the old coot.
nothing is going to stop us from electing barack obama for president this year. YES WE CAN!!

This is just the beginning... makes you worry that Barack wants the republicans to win and is embarrased by his choice (who announces at 3am on a Saturday?

Did McCain forget that Mitt Romney attacked him as well and we all know that he will pick Mitt.

I am disappointed. If BO had no intention of picking Clinton he should have had the gonads to say so a long time ago rather than string us along all this time. It's sad for anyone to believe Clinton's supporters are a handful of irate women – and the proof will come out in November. While I can hold my nose and vote for this ticket as Biden was one of those who put it on the line by running a campaign, I will not contribute any time, money or effort toward it. Have a great convention – I won't be watching.

What state do you PUMAs and Hillary supporters live in where you can write her name in? I REALLY want to know this because in my state, there is no place to write a candidates name in, our ballots are electronic and only the candidates who are running can be selected. Please, can somebody answer this question for me? Each time I read these blogs, I see a few people threatening to write in Hillary's name for the presidential election, so I would really like to know how this is done and how it counts toward Hillary being elected if she's not on the ticket to run?

The Clinton supporters on here really disappoint me. I doubt most of these people are truly Democrats, as a real Dem would understand that the candidates were close on most issues and voting for McCain is a vote against everything we stand for.

Fortunately I believe there are many Republicans who are sick of their party trashing our Constitution and country and will be crossing over to the Democratic side as well. So before you vote, just look at the two candidates who WON the nominating process (delegates, popular vote) and chose the one that best represents your views. Otherwise, if you are voting out of spite for one person, have fun and enjoy 8 more years of the same (if Clinton is seen as a spoiler this year, there is NO chance she will be nominated or win in 2012).

No one wanted Biden in 88 when he ran, he also dropped this year because he was loosing. Now you want him as a VP???Clinton just got slapped yet again. She deserved to be VP, yet got nothing. She has been slapped over and over. Ya know what they say, he who laughs last, laughs best. But better yet, A woman scorned....she is just beginning folks. Alot may yet happen. But she will laugh when he goes down. He will too. No chance in my book. Biden by the way is 5 years younger than gran pops. Big deal.Democrats shot themselves in the foot yet another four years. he is not electable, no vote from me.

Unfortunately "not this time", it is attitudes like yours that have pushed the needle back for women. Learning how to lose is a trait, and pick yourself back up and get into the game is key to being contender. Get over it, do you really want 4 more years of Republicans in the White House. Frankly, we cannot afford it.

Just a guess – McCain team wrote one press release with the name of the VP candidate left open - then when the announcement came out, inserted Biden's name.

Can't they come up with something more thoughtful than "There has been no harsher critic.." ? I mean, its not even true. Clinton was clearly Obama's harshest critic.

I guess I have lived in California for too long. I just cannot imagine what motivates anyone to believe that McCain would be a good president. And yet there are the polls saying that roughly half of our great nation want McCain and his promise to:

(1) reduce taxes for the rich
(2) continue to wage war in the middle east
(3) further destroy America's reputation in the world
(4) support anti-competitive policies in telecommunications
(5) undermine our basic freedoms

Rather than the name calling etc, I'd love to hear why McCain's supporters believe he would be a good leader for our country. For the life of me, I can't understand at all.

I think the only thing that partisan politics does is divide US all. Read the notes here. We aren't one people, one nation.... we are more divided then ever. Our forefathers would role in their graves if they could see what the Democrat/Repubilicans have done to our politics. The cream of the crap is what we get with both parties. Maybe it's time that a third party comes in and breaks the strangle hold these two parties have on our political system. There are a whole lot of people who aren't ultra -liberal or ultra-conservative that don't have a voice. Perhaps it's time they speak out.

IT'S FULL SPEED AHEAD FOR PUMA'S.

CAN'T WAIT TIL THE CONVENTION. COME ON PUMA'S.....MAKE NOISE. BE OUR VOICE. WE DON'T OWE THE BACKSTABBING SWIFTBOATER DEMOCRATIC HILLARY HATERS AND NON BELIEVERS A THING !

VIVA HILLARY....WRITE IN HER NAME OR ANYBODY BUT BO.

Oh please. Barack chose someone who is smart, adds to his ticket and more importantly, is someone he likes/gets along with. McCain will probablky choose Romney, the biggest flip-flopper from the primary, someone he dislikes, but he things it'll give him some credibilty on the economy...which is STUPID. Romney was a terrible Governor and as a venture capitalist sent more jobs overseas at any cost, to make himself as much money as possible.
Now that's a smart choice to help America.
I'm ready for smart, thoughtful leadership. Obama/Biden '08

As I posted on ABC as an ardent Hillary supporter, I really believe this pick is in Hillary's interest. For one, if they lose, she could come back in four years. Losing V.P. candidates like Lieberman and Edwards seem to get no where getting the presidential nomination. Of course she must campaign for Obama now, and PUMAS should be quiet, so Hillary would not be blamed for his loss. Obama also picked someone, kind of like Cheney, who would not compete for the presidential nomination in 2016 against Hillary should Obama win two terms. Also, sitting Vice Presidents are rarely elected president. If people are unhappy with Obama in any way at the end, it would be harder to tar Hillary with those faults, since she wasn't the VP. If people are completely happy with Obama at the end, it will be to Hillary's benefit, and Biden will not be competing with her to reap those benefits. McCain probably would not have had a chance had he been Bush's Vice President, which, even in that case had he been picked, would have also made it easier to tar him as the 3rd Bush term.

HRC should bring it on at the convention,forget turning her delegate to the "one"

I am honestly shocked. I can not believe a candidate who claims to be so "in touch" with American people would turn his back on the 80+ million democrat voters who supported Hillary Clinton. This VP selection is a slap in the face to every one of us and the Democrats have once again shot themselves in the foot. Millions of us will be staying home (or voting Republican) on election day. Way to go.

Loving the repub trolls posturing as dems who will vote for McCain. Skin so thin you can see right through it,

Obama-Biden '08

I have thing to say I think this is a Great pick Biden can really lay into the reb attack machine. The White House is Our in 08. go Obama\Biden 08.

Now let's talk about this Hillary thing she may have had a chane to be is Vice but she and her staff blow it. why because they could not think fast enough to pick a taking point or define who she was. Don't get me wrong but I'm really tired of hearing about the CLinton's their time has come and now it's gone. It's a time for change and real change is coming. I think a song title comes to mind right now with this pick and it goes like this "Who let the DOGS out" DEMS in 08

Do any of you Obama haters truly understand politics? During campaigns you have to try to distance yourself from the others so you can tell the American people why you are the best. Remember Bush and the crap he pulled on McCain in 2000? Now they're best buddies. Heck, they kissed and hugged in 2004. To the Hillary supporters, first off DONATE and secondly, you say you wanted Hillary but what she said about Obama during the primaries was MUCH MUCH worse than what Biden said about Obama. So how do you ding Biden but not Hillary? Look at the greatest presidents in our history and ask yourself how much experience they had before becoming president. Lincoln had two years as a representative and I think we can all agree that he turned out pretty good. You know why? because Lincoln possessed a fierce intellect and great judgment. Obama has both of those qualities too.

At least Biden probably knows the difference between Shia and Shiite, and that Iraq does not share a border with Pakistan, like the oh so ready to lead McBush...

BIG MISTAKE. He had 18 million Democratic voters (not all women, morons) at his disposal if he had gotten over himself and given the well deserved and earned place on the ticket to Hillary. Just another example of his POOR judgment. LOSER.

Thank You Obama! Joe Biden?? This is perfect. I am positive that there will be no Bump in the Polls for Obama after this VP running mate decision. In fact, since there should be a small loss, which will continue to diminish, resulting in a Landside Victory for John McCain (and Mitt?). Thanks again Liberal Dems

GOP...running scared. They are on the run and don't know what to do. Joe will mop the floor with McBush/?. If you don't know Joe, you'd better ask somebody.....

since when is a successful Harvard-educated lawyer an empty suit? seems if the bar is that high none of us would qualify to work at mcdonald's. and what then is McCain? a failed fighter pilot?

It's amazing that some want more of Bush policies and deceitful leadership by giving a hurrah to McCain. Have they not witnessed anything these last almost 8 years? Then again, he was given the Presidency by his cronies in Supreme Court which was NOT the vote of the people.

We need a leader, not a man who's only claim to fame is being a POW.

To the guy from Florida stating that "Obama will lose because he is unexperienced." Obviously you are inexperienced in English. McCain is so old world and out of touch with reality. It's going to be a new world come November. One where the rest of the world will look at the United States in good light for once!

This McCain candidate is so out of touch with the people of this great country of America that he thinks that we all are totally ignorant to politics and his immature attacks on the Obama candidate. Obama could have chosen President George Bush as a ruuning mate and McCain would have conplained about foriegn policy experience.
CNN, please tell America, where & when have McCain achieved any foriegn experience at any level. None to my knowledge. Selecting a team member must strengthen the team, whether it is a business firm such as an engineering or architectueral business, an accounting firm, office of the vice president of the United States, or any law firm, just as examples.

This is nothing compared to the McCain vs. Mitt debates. "I am more like GW." "No I did".

Central Iowan: Good work, maybe McCain will put you up in one of his 10 HOUSES !

Can't wait to slap an OBAMA/BIDEN 08 bumper sticker on my car !

Where's the "Change" man?
Obama is a Chicago politician.
Where's all the kids?

The simple truth is that McCain can NOT win on the issues. WHY ? Because he has the same political views as Bush. So McCain's only strategy to win is to SCARE the voters to vote not FOR him, but to vote AGAINST Obama. If McCain was fit to be President, he would cut the negative campaigning and run on the issues. But he doesn't, so draw your own conclusion.

Absolutely disgusted in dems choice for VP – no change – another man

Bidens retorts and sarcasm,always seems to get the best of him.He will serve Barack best by low-keying it all through the ensuing campaign.Absolutely the man has the ability and quality to be President of the United States.

More Rovian fear and smear from McCain and his peeps....shocking. Porritt and McCain do not seem to understand the concept of balance, which Biden absolutely brings to Obama's VP.

As far as judgement, what was McCain thinking when he decided to use sacrilegious mockery for his political advertising not once, but TWICE?! Christians do NOT appreciate McCain's poor judgement disrespecting our faith. No thank you.

Obama/Biden '08
i Si se puede !

I CONGRATULATE OBAMA FOR NOT CHOOSING SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON AS A RUNNING MATE....

THERE WAS NO BETTER WAY TO SABOTAGE HIS ONLY HOPE TO BECOME ELECTABLE.

SENATOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012 !!!

I get TIRED of hearing about Mc Cain getting a free ride on the issue of "experience". WHAT real relevant experience does McCain have over Obama, other than the fact McCain has OCCUPIED a chair in the Senate longer than Obama. McCain has more LONGEVITY than Obama, but what has he accomplished in all of his so-call "experience" ? I can't think of any thing.

Well McCain better not pick Romney because he's said not so nice things about him in the primaries. It's all a part of the game. Give me a break if this is the route they go then it'll be over before it starts.

Biden has already proved he is a LIAR! Not more than 24 hours ago he said "I'm not the man" This entire election is a joke!

obama is a no more for change than his pick. actions speak louder than words. im reconsidering my vote. hillary should have been our candidate! now we have a liar and a cheat on one ticket.

I have never seen so many sad people who is going through a Depression, but yet they are voting for McCain because of Hate....

Grow up and start acting like an adult.... this is not about you. This is about your children future. If you truly Love them you will vote Democrat.

And to Lisa: Don't blame Obama, there are so many out there that said they will not vote for him because of the hate in their hearts.

The Democrats can WIN this if we start thinking and come together.

do you know that all members of PUMA are from red states? which means their vote wouldn't make any difference.

That must mean they are not going to pick Romney then because do you remember some of his exchanges with McCain. Does it bother anyone else in this country how shameless Republicans are every 4 years?

Bush was sooo experience(his father was even president) where is our country today????

McCain doesn't have more experience than the Bush family!

Americans wake up.

All these smears from GOP should not scare us. We need new thinking! New ideas, new approaches!

Obama just lost the Latino vote with that decision, also, it looks like it was a gesture for keeping divided the party. The choice of selecting the same man who said Obama was not ready for President, it will be painful. Just watch the next polls, sadly, Democrat party will lose numbers.

Obama 08 will be Great as Mccain is running for the gate.

Let's say McCain wins in November, ( BECAUSE OBAMA WON'T )
and the Dems get a majority in congress... that woul keep things
pretty much in balance, am I right?

Now for a better picture- PICTURE THIS:

In 2012 there comes Senator HILLARY CLINTON,better than ever ,and wins the nomination -like it should have happened this time around-
Americans will have an intelligent, capable woman as president, and maybe then things may start to turn around for the better not only for America but for the- now- alienated world as well.

OBAMA WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST

SENATOR CLINTON; VOTERS DIDN'T SAY 'NO'; THEY SAID 'NOT YET'

I do not have comment on Biden, he maybe a big boost for the days ahead. But I feel really sorry that the Dems (including me!) will once again lose to the Repubs in Nov, 2008. My hope is that we (Dems) will take the White House back in 2012 (?). After all, the Osama's, ooops, Obama's cheerleaders, with their hate postings, from these blogs have helped destroyed the Dems' hope, ultimately. I also hope that someone, anyone, will eventually write a book titled "How to Raise a President 101" for the Dems Moms to read. Sad, sadly reallized that we cannot have a winnable candidate to beat even the all-time-worst President's tale.

as an obama supporter,i must say,mccain has a better chance now.this is a sad day for me.i thought i was supporting 'change'.

Of all the mistakes this guy has made this is the biggest!

It doesn't matter who he chose, Barrack Hussein Obama is still the WEAKEST LINK!

There are Repug plants on all of these boards who have nothing better to do with American tax dollars but pretend they are HRC supporters and try to belittle and separate Democrats.

It must be nice to have a job where you can just play on the internet.

...good move Obama!!!

now let`s go get them!!!

OBAMA 08

Smart pick Obama! Joe Biden can be a Senator and the Vice Presidnet...no loss of a Democratic Senator.

The only approach Sen. McCain needs to take with the obama/Biden ticket is to tell the truth....Biden has the experience to be president and obama does not!!
Thank God Hillary is not on this God Forsaken ticket, NOW we know HE WILL LOSE in November!!!!
When he did not even consider Hillary he lost 18 million votes!!
I ask Latinos everywhere to vote smart....vote McCain!!!!!

Obama-Biden ticket is going to demolish McCain. For those bitter Hillary supporters....vote McCain, you're gonna lose, we don't need you! 75% of your vote went to Obama! From that McCain response it looks like McCain is DONE!!!

OBAMA-BIDEN 08!

Obama is looking more like Jack Kennedy all the time. Kennedy and his New Frontier picked Lynden Johnson as his Vice President. The Republicans said he would raise their taxes. Kennedy came in and lowered taxes to stymulate the economy. Obama knows we have problems the Washington Politicians have ignored for years. Health Care, Social Security, Energy and we need leadership to tackel these issues. Biden will help him get these issues through the Congress and will be a great advisor to Obama when it's needed. It's like drilling for oil, the Republicans make it sound so simple, but we know it isn't that simple. Obama is willing to drill, but will provide the leadership to push alternative energy. He may even ask us to turn our computers off when we go to bed, along with filling our tires. God Bless the United States of America.

BO/JB-08-Bye McCain

Why does McCain want to continue to use Hillary old stunts that did not work, can't he think of some of his own.

Mr P.O.W. looks better behind bars than in the Whitehouse!

Smart move, you should always pick a team mate that will bring strentgh to the team.

The more i reed thease the more I clear it all is. To thost of us that think this is a game think about those who cant vote most reasntly in africa. Please Think

...

I am really impressed at the amount of republicans who are on the boards faking they are dem's. You can tell from post with no substance, like a McShame ad.

Let's talk ISSUES or just stop posting!

I think that the grympy old man McCain should start talking about what he want. He talks like a warhunger that wants back the cold war, he is black/white in forregn politics, not with more fact talk like Biden. He wants big taxcuts for the most rich and cut in welfare for normal people, opposite than what he did in 01 and 02. That the soon 72 years old guy should be prepeard for President, when i dont even know how many houses he got. I think he is an old, black/white snob that should juse his last year relaxing instead of making the rest uf us shy. Bush for 8 years have been a test, and McCain is if possible even worse.

I got a text from a number in INDIA stating that Joe Biden will be Obama's VP. Being Indian I immediately recognized the country code. Didn't he have something to say about Hillary for outsourcing and being too friendly with India?

Everyone knows that McCain trashed America during a pro-vietnamese propaganda film. He claims to be a patriot but he helped the enemy make propaganda that hurt our soldiers in vietnam? That is the definition of weak.

For the last three months or so, everything McCluess does is predicated on what Obama is doing. It's like a lap dog sitting at his master's feet wagging its tail in anticipation for its next command. We rarely hear, if ever, what McBrainless' plans are for a brighter future for America. Rarely....

This is a quality I do not want in a POTUS. It occurs to me, that if Obama were to go away for a week or two, McLost and his campaign wouldn't know what to do. Instead of formulating ideas to bring this nation out of its obvious downward slide, McDuggle would sit around salivating at the mouth waiting for Obama to show back up.

This is the Republicans idea of moving forward. If they were to win the election they would sit around watching what the world is doing before they could figure out what they're next move would be. I mean, c'mon now can't they determine the direction they should be taking to help this nation instead of waiting and watching what the world was doing before they make a move? Its pathetic.

They're only clear objective that they are sure of is how to bleed this nation of more and more money. That's all they care about. How to stack their personal profits.

THIS IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL. McClueless is the perfect example of a stooge with no direction of his own. All his moves are based on what the next man/country is doing. This is the guy a lot of Americans want in the WH.

That's your choice for president, a monkey do what monkey sees. A follow the leader type of man.

Yeah, a great leader he'll be.....NOT..

Why did Barack Obama wake me up at 3:00 in the morning? I forgot to turn off my cell last night. And I was really hoping he'd pick Hillary. Nice to see he jokes about her primary 3am phone call ad by waking me up. Doesn't really make me want to vote for him anymore, just as I was warming to the guy.

I am an Independent and I usually vote conservertive. This election I am voting for Obama. Why? First , this country needs a leader that will move this country in the forward. Mccain camp is relying on voters who are uneducated, narrow minded and affraid of change. This why he USA has lost its edge as a leader of the free world. Voters like PUMA, who think HIlliary is a better choice. Hilliary will never win because people will remember how she conducted herself afters she lost the nomination. She will need more than just the PUMA votes. PUMA will be the only votes she will get. PUMA is hurting her chances for wining anything in the future. Always judge a person when they are down, not when they are up.

Yes, and that's exactly the reason Biden is joing the ticket to bolster that perceived inexperience... big deal!

I will make it quick the vp is and should be chosen becouse there a goob VP. not to win a state.

"BidenObama" sounds familiar to "ChaneyBush" ticket.

I believe that voters in this country are wiser than intellectual. Wise voters are found among blue & white collars, seniors, youth, college & non college educated, Christians & non Christians, men & women, etc.

Wisdom vs Intellectual. That's what an election should be about.
Thanks.

Central Iowan... Edwards did not win his own home state for the Democrats in '04. You just want a weaker running mate from the South. Typical Republican... focusing on an insignificant weakness when he has so many strengths.

Have your election today before any of the candidates go on the campaign trail... honestly, that is the only way the Republicans will win

Mccain talk about experience but he has never sited a situation where he held an executive position for him to give "commands' on foreign policies. In Vietnam he never did so he is no better than, Obama or anyone in Washington.

The best qualified people are Dick Cheney and Karl Rove who actually once held a position to give directions on foreign policies. They proved themselves over 2 decades.

I agree
it shows that Obama is just another political hypocryte.
he has chosen an insider when he did not want an insider.

Mr Biden is nothing else but a washington bull dog. Just full of hot air. Mr Obama is another flip fop politician

As a Hilary person. Mc Cain is my better choice.

I personally love the choice for Biden.. if it is Biden. I haven't heard the official announcement.

So Hillary supporters.. I only have one question for you. If you can tell one reason that she is more qualified than Biden... I'll be happy to listen. Saying she's more popular is not a reason to vote for her. So.. any actual rational thoughts.. or just screaming If NO Hillary, then we're voting McCain?

what experience does mccain have he couldn't beat bush he is a terrible speaker he can't lead

Seattle Indie,
at least Obama can remember how many houses does he own , he doesn't refer to non-existent border between Iraq and Pakistan, he doesn't get confused about the difference between Shiite and Sunnis and he knows Chekoslovacia doesn't exist any more.

Dear Readers,

I guess Biden can help win the Red, Southern state of Delaware for Team Obama???

Ari Cole
Harvard Kennedy School Alumnus

I guess all of the republicians voting for McSame are on these blogs well let the games begin Obama/Biden will crush McCain/Bush .

haha look what Romney said about McCain and we all no he's gunna be his VP. It's politics they don't have to like eachother, but in this casenthey do complete eachother.

OBiden '08

Team Obama and Biden looks like winners on all flanks.

The world will be getting two well educated men that love our nation, who will bring honor and faith to the Presidency. I believe that the world leaders will respect this administration and be willing to work together to solve world problems. A team is only as strong as its weakest link and I don’t see a weak link within this Team Obama and Biden.

Im a Oboma soppoter. I think Senator Clinton is one of the strongist and smartist people i have ever seen. I think she would be perfect as Secretary of State. An poor McCane can't think of any new ideas. As i sead i realy respect Senator Clinton. She will run in 8 years and ill be glad to vote 4 her. I gess there are some in our party that are now planing to vote for the GOP. I have to say to them Wake UP this is not high school. GOP has ben runing this nation for the last eaght years. Im not telling any one how to vote. Just think about it please Im 22 years old me and my genration will not prosper. dont take my future away for spite.

yey, Obama/Biden 08 great choice.

What I also find amazing is the fact that so many of you Clinton supporters keep going on and on about Obama disrespecting her. Exactly how did he do that? Was it when he was be respectful to her during the debates while she continued to hammer him? Or maybe it was when the MSM came out with the truth about her sniper fire story? Oh, I know, it was when she admitted to lying on national TV "I said things that I knew were not in keeping with what I knew was the truth." She even referenced her book and the fact that the correct story was in there.

Give me a break. She lost my respect the moment she went negative and continued to push against Obama with her tantrums, "Meet me in Ohio" "Shame on you, Barack Obama" and poorly run campaign.

You want proof that Obama is smart? Check out the various articles that layout the well oiled machine that he has put together vs. McCain and Clinton. Both have run their campaigns poorly and that, ultimately, is what killed her chances and will do the same for McCain.

Go vote for your warmongering,Mc Surge but are wasting your time here with your this don't want to listen to your hot air .
Want to threaten if Hillary isnt picked does it make you feel good it sure sounds stupid.
Do you HRC fallowers that won't let up let others pick your friends ,who you socialize with at home or at your job ,who chums with your children,who you go out with ?/
Obama don't need you,me or anyone else to decide who he chooses to work with day after day for 4 years where are you coming from to think you do the choosing it sounds so elementary and won't vote unless he fallows your directions and choice.
Are you that uneducated to think you can boss others for your agenda which you never had from the beginning .
You sound like you are either in love or a stalker???

Since near 4,500 Warriors never came home alive and thousands injured not to mention all the Iraq people that were also killed /injured

Obama/ Biden for Change, the Economy, Homeland Security— going after those responsible for the heinous attack on American soil, Unity of the nation for a Perfect Union,Health Care, Re-shaping America's image on the international front, Foreign Affairs, Diplomacy, and Hope.

McSame/Bush/Rove/Cheney for 100 years War in Iraq, Bomb bomb bomb Iran, i know nothing about the Economy, i don't know how many Houses i Own because i Sleep in money and i am out of touch with Reality. I am the master of foreign affairs, that's why i have consistently referred to Czechoslovakia, a country which by the way does Not EXIST and of course i am an expert when it comes to Homeland Security, that is why i voted for a War in Iraq instead of full focus on Afghanistan and now Osama Bin Laden is still out there……..

So much for homeland security! So much for "i will chase Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell."

It's all over McSame!! The perception that you are knowledgeable about foreign affairs, the notion that John McBush knows world affairs is laughable and is slowly crushing down just like your "straight talk "express.

Obama/Biden 08

"Hope — Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope."
— Barack Obama

One last thing. PLEASE stop this PUMA stuff. I can promise you if Obama loses because Clinton supporters went for McCain I will never back her ever again. Not in 2012, 2016, 2020 or any time. The reason I didn't support her this time was I felt she wasn't the right choice and she was too divisive. If you PUMA supporters keep your threats you only prove my point that she doesn't or perhaps can't bring people together. If she can;t even bring her supporters to support the candidate who most resembles her then how could she bring the nation or democrats and Republicans together.
All I ask is that if you want me to ever consider Clinton then you have to prove me wrong and prove that she can lead people to come together. If not she's just as I thought and not only will I never vote for her again, but if she ever runs in a primary for presidency again I will campaign against more fervently then I;ve ever campaigned for any one.

@ FRANK, ATLANTA,GA, MCCAIN CAN ADD THE WHITE HOUSE TO HIS LIST OF HOUSES, DONT HATE!!! MCCAIN 08!!!!!!

Dear Senator Obama,
I am deeply saddened and disappointed in your decision for selecting for VP. It is clear to me and to millions of other Americans by this selection of a VP running mate that you are NOT listening to your constituency. As a Democrat I chose Hillary Clinton along with millions of other Democrats all around the United States. There was no other candidate that The People wanted more to enter and help change the run down and broken bureaucracy, like we believed you and Hillary would have accomplish. Therefore, given your decision, it is clear to me that you do not wish for this "change" you talk about, but are only interested in the "white" vote which will aid you in entering office. In my eyes, this makes you no different that all the other carpet bagger politicians in Washington. Therefore, I am sad to inform you that your lack of interest for your constituents will result in my definite vote for McCain. I Shame on you for all those times you rallied for change in America and stating that you would listen. Well, Mr. Obama, we spoke and you failed to listen. Shame on you!

To shaking my head head:

Don't be so meticulous, because once McBush pick Romney as VP you'll get into trouble.So far as I remember they'd said veeeery nice thins about each other during primaries.

Excellent choice! An Obama/Biden ticket will be unstoppable. I can't wait to see Biden crush Romney, Lieberman, etc. in the VP debate. I'm sure McCain and camp are very dissapointed and probably somewhat nervous, as it's obvious that Obama and Biden will be a huge, dynamic force in this phase of the campaign. Whatever the McCain camp tries to throw at Obama and Biden, it won't stick. Counting the days until the Nov. 4th smackdown!

Obama/Biden 08!

The PUMAs and the fake Hillary supporters can all go to hell. Obama/Biden '08 will STEAMROLLER old man McCain!!

Thanks Obama, if this was your decision you proved that you are not thinking strategy. Have fun in Denver.

IF I here about Obama's inexperience one more time I'm going to scream. HELLO, anyone heard of Abraham Lincoln. He was one of the most inexperienced presidents we had. He has a congressman on the national scene for two years. Not to mention many of our great presidents didn't have a lot of experience where as some of the more experienced ones like say Nixon, or even Bush with his executive experience as governor were terrible presidents.
Have we learned nothing? Let's just say experience does not a good president make.

It is time for democrats to put the interest of our country first, and act like mature americans...there is too much at stake! theres is a good group of republicans and independants who are already commited to support Barack Obama and his vision for our country, he has again proven by choosing Senator Joe Biden as his running mate that he is serious about governing and leading our country out of this dark cloud we have been under for the last eight years. It is time to deal with real issues and find solutions to the primary needs of the american people: Economy,jobs,health care, education,energy,our armed forces and their well being,etc....
It is time to be the nation,the people we have been called to be....to embrace our place in the world community....to be the caring and loving nation our founder fathers envisioned us to be....It is time to restore our image before the world ..... Let's celebrate the strenght of our democracy by electing Senator Obama and Senator Biden to be the next president and vice president of the United States of America.
We are one nation, one people, one republic, under God, indivisible .
we share one vision and love for all the good the USA represents.

Obama/Biden 08 *Change we can beleive in*

Just a reminder: There are other parties besides the D-R axis.

Maybe they can steal each others speeches..

You really think thats going to work McCain?! I am laughing out loud

I wanted so much Hillary as a VP; I am so disappointed!

Good I think that he will be great! Team up and let's kick Bush and his gang of crooks out of Washington and take this Country Back. Mr Bush and Gang have run this place into the ground. We need to call them what they are Crooks!

J RIVAS IS THAT YOU JOE FROM RA, YOU MUST VOTE MCCAIN IS THE BEST CHOICE!!!! HONESTLY THE ONLY CHOICE HIS READY TO LEAD!

Senator Obama/Biden a joint ticket very smart move. They wil crush the McSame/Liberman's failed ticket policy a continuation of Bush's failed policy which took the nation down the toilet. Hillary is best fit on the supreme court slot, not the VP ticket. Sorry fellas.

Vote McCain!

Hillary and Barack's plans were the same. They both stink!

Hillary supporters come on over. We will at least treat her with respect unlike her party than turned against her for wanting the American dream.

McCain '08

Clinton '12

LOL, Biden is six years younger than McCain. That's twice as long as Obama's been a senator. Hope this shuts the Dems up about the age factor. If somthing happened to Biden who would tell Barrack how to handle foreign policy???

Sorry, John. Your luck is running out. Obama/Biden in a landslide. When you pick that slimey flip-flopper Mitt Romney, we'll see who the real unwise veep pick was.

YES! MCCAIN 08 ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!! HOORAY!

True Democrats would not vote for a Republican.

Anyone in here still thinking about Hillary is not grounded on this Earth. We are voting for the Democratic nominee regardless of who or she is. Period.

If you stand for issues as a Democrat, if you have a backbone you accept what life gives you and you deal with it.

If you think Obama is a bad choice, oh well. That's the party candidate. Moreover, you would rather pick the worst choice (McCain) than what you consider a bad choice (Obama) out of spite? It makes no sense.

Stop being stubborn. Accept what has happened and vote Democrat.

All this bickering is gonna get us nowhere and puts us closer to another Bush term, and more years of this downward spiral we live in.

Think about it.

Obama is too inexperience to run this country. FACE FACTS!
McCain will gain votes by default due to exclusion of Hillary Clinton.
Joe Biden is a good pick, but he will only be in the capacity of VP.

So sorry McCain...pack up and go home (whatever home you choose out of many)....you just lost...thank God,.

McCain has just got another vote from me. I have said that unless Hillary Clinton was going to be on the ticket, that I would vote for McCain.

Obama will never get my vote. I will wait until 2012 and then WE ALL will make sure that Hillary Clinton will take over the White House!

Obama, has chosen his own down fall. He and Biden will never beat McCain and whomever in November. There are a lot of Hillary Clinton supporters that are planning on voting for McCain instead of Obama.

Hillary qould have been a better vice president. Biden talks like he has hemoroids.

Love how you people complain of inexperience and then attack over him looking for experience, then the flag pin....the middle name....can you honestly think of something worthwhile to talk about instead of blowing hot air? never opened a book in your life, maybe you should now instead of blogging thats definetly an idea.

Bring it!! Watch what happens....

I'm not voting for Obama, but, he is wise to choose someone who is more knowledgeable in area's he isn't to be his V.P., also smart enough to stay away from the "Clinton machine." . . . MCCain 08'

What people fail to realize is that what really matters is if those democrats in 3 key states go out and vote…(Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida) I will not vote this election out of protest because i really dislike both of the cabdidates…I really dislike Biden as VP. But my vote holds less sway because i live in California which is solidly Democratic. My vote will not have an impact like Dems in those 3 states…
In an election where we should have won in a landslide, Democrats failed again Dukakis-Biden 08..Im sorry, i mean Obama-Biden NEVER!!!

It went from a possible "DREAM TEAM" to the CREAM TEAM...Obama/Biden are going to get "CREAMED"!!!

JOHN ( I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES I OWN ) MCWAR

EQUALS =

KING GEORGE BUSH (THE THIRD)

Obama has got to be one of the dumbest policitian since George W. Bush.

Thanks DNC for losing yet another election!

To Seattle Indie:

If you take away McCain POW and military experience – he would be more impressive than McCain to run a country...

Sad state of this affairs! Now, I don't know who to vote for!

With all the national security issues Obama does nit cut it. I I believe an an American citizen my intersts are better represented by McAinn (there uis no questuion about his patriotism and that is that!)

I know that Opah said Senator was brillant but this was not a brillant move. This was simply stupid and boring! This pick brings nothing needed to the ticket and is almost a shoe in for a lost! I am thinking of switching parties to one that 'gets it'!

CNN you guys suck. "moderating" is a euphemism for shaping public opinion.

First time in 19 years I will be voting republican.
It is a sad day for dems- how does someone see a running mate with over ten years in Washington as a change??

McCain is past ready to be President. He is too old.
Obama/Biden....go go go

mcWAR, the party is over.The experience Biden said Obama lacks is now complemented in Biden.So what next?
Obama is out to change Washington in the process he doesn't have to wipe out the old repentant folks.But the unrepentant warmonger must be delt withsquarely.mcSHAME is the most dangerous thing for America and the world. STOP THAT MONSTER!

Some people are so stupid. And those people shouldn't vote. Why would you change your mind and vote for McCain just because Obama chose Biden, when yesterday, you were probably talking about him being another Bush? All you Hillary supporters need to vote for Obama, even though he didn't choose her, because keep in mind that you're going to need the Obama supporters votes too if you want Hillary to win in 2012. I personally think that maybe Obama shouldn't have picked Biden as his VP,but whatever.

Obama 2008!!
Hillary 2012!!

I think this was the worst possible pick for Senator Obama. Senator Biden brings nothing to the ticket and this, in my opinion, has all but guaranteed Senator McCain the win. Here, again, the democratics make a critical plunder at the ninth hour!

Obama, you got it wrong again. You picked a racist for your wife, an idiot for your pastor, a crook for your real estate deals, a terrorist for your early Chicago day connections, an international pariah as a candidate for Middle East dialogue and now, in the moment of crowning glory, an OLD Washington insider who thinks you are unqualified as your running mate. Good bye, Senators. The lead is shrinking and key states are going to McCain. You have blown it for the Dems, Obama. Hopefully, you can design a fake presidential LOSER seal in November.

Throw away 18 million votes? What about John Edwards' votes? What about Joe Biden's votes? What about Chris Dodd's votes? Should they all split the job. She lost, fair and square and she would have been slaughtered if the other guys hadn't been taking votes away from Obama in the beginning.

Go ahead, vote for McCain. If you do, I expect you to enlist every one of your children and grandchildren in the military, so my husband can come home and my children don't get drafted into McCain's contrived war in Iraq and wherever else the military industrial complex instructs him to invade!

You Hillary people are something else, I gotta tell ya. She has a vagina, otherwise she is completely inappropriate for the presidency. That's why she lost. People can't stand her! I personally like her, myself, but as a senator, not as the representative of the free world.

Enough's enough, people!

Between Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and the dream team cabinet that they will be putting together (of which I'm certain Hillary will be an instrumental participant), there's no telling what kind of greatness will come out of this administration.

We already know what we're going to get from McMoron. He touts his foreign relations experience, but Biden has him so crushed there.

Come together, people! It's time! We can't afford to wait. Our economy is tanking because of the war and because of our dependence on foreign commodities, i.e. OIL! We need a peace-loving, innovative, environmentally conscious statesman! We just got two for the price of one.

Obama/Biden 2008!!! End the war in Iraq and the reign of terror in the U.S.!!!

Peace to you all!

P.S. Danny, when did you get your text? I still haven't gotten mine – or the email.

One more thing CNN readers. Why would you vote for a ticket in which the VP was so clearly more impressive and qualified? The ticket should have Biden as President and Obama (or someone else) as VP.

Mr. Obama talks about judgement when it comes to the War in Iraq and about change in Washington but Senator Biden is the opposite what Obama stands for. What a big mistake. He mistreated Hillary and 18 million voters. He could blame his staff that were eager to tell the media that Hillary was never taken into consideration for VP. Iwill not vote for Mr. Obama , he is not trustworthy. Big Big Mistake

Oh yeah, McCain supporters won't have much leverage when it comes to the experience and readiness issue – because before Romney got out of the race – he had the same things negative to say about McCain....

Mr. Ken Levy

You know this the the first election that I have ever paid attention to and this is very discouraging.

Why should Obama be required to chose HRC? Yes I know she got 18,000,000 votes – yet she didn't win the election.

Yes we can talk about the superdelegates, caucuses, etc...but the Clinton has been involved with national election since 1992 – if the system was so bad; why didn't they do something to change it back then?

So should it be written in stone that whoever is the person with the highest amount should pick the person with the second highest votes as their VP?

If folks get honest about it, HRC, BO and BILL wouldn't had been a good combination if elected.

But I guess if he had picked HRC, folks would had been calling him weak and desperate then....

I live in GA and I've seen plenty of Obama tv ads. The latest polls show Ohio and VA are tied, and Obama is behind by only 1% in FL.

We're headed into the convention with the wind at our backs!

McCain best worry about his own campaign and butt out of Senator Obama's.

It'll be interesting to see who McCain chooses – and I'm sure it'll be someone he's sparred wth in the past.

Besides – who cares what McCain thinks about Obama's choice? I'm happy and thats all that matters to me.

Vote Smart – Obama-Biden '08!

The announcement is on Barack's website, and the text messages are being sent.

Go right ahead and which how that work with the Keating 5 on your back.
McCain your free ride is over and you want be able to play the POW card any more.

Wow. It's too early and I guess some are stil sleeping LOL Obama picked who he needed. To Disappointed...please do not think that Obama supporters will forget this debacle. you all are playing your hands too wide open. You can pretty much forget clinton 2012....obamas numbers won't swing for her if she doesn't "man up" as it were. To Jeannine: I think you and I are awake and on the same page. Biden was running for the office at that time. I would have been shocked had he stood there and said that Obama was ready LOL talk about sabotaging your campaign. If Obama had picked clinton it would have been the same thing but WORSE! To Ken: you go right ahead and get your card and when you and the rest of your family are toting guns through afghanistan after you get drafted don't complain. smh I guess the family that kills together stays together?

PEOPLE SAID THE REPUBLICANS GOING TO RUN ADS ON BIDEN SAIYNG OBAMA NOT READY DURING THE PRIMARYS BUT LOOKS WHO THE NOMIANEE HILLARY SAID THE SAME THING BUT AGAIN LOOKS WHO IS THE NOMIANEE SO IT DONT MATTER IF THEY SAID HE WASNT READY THE VOTERS THINK HE IS SO THAT ALL COUNT

To all those Republicans trying to sow disunity in our Democratic ranks by claiming they are Democrats who will now vote for McCain; get a stick of dynamite and firmly shove it up your anal orifice and light the fuse. If that's too dramatic for you then go suck on an tail-pipe.

Obama's supporters number in the ten's of millions,
so try to mess with us,our memory's are better than John MCmemory-loss, that's right MCmemoryloss how do you forget how many homes you own? or what day it is? or who am i?

Billy....THANK YOU!
I am an obama supporter and will be campaigning day and night for Obama but please go vote McCain! You are a republican, has been all your life and you will be in the after-life. We true democrats dont need republican pretenders....go sacrifice a lamb for Hannity and Rush...your demi gods...they will bring you wealth and prosperity. Please don't look back on your way out! Change is coming...READY OR NOT!

Billy, you are such a hypocrite, If you want CHANGE, you don't want to vote Republican!

McCain is the old cranky man. His supporters must be happy he came up again with finding some fault.

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

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

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

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

OBAMA/BIDEN 08,12

From an Electoral College perspective, this brings the Obama campaign absolutely nothing. All three of Delaware's electoral votes were basically in the Dem column already. I think the potential to swing Virginia's 13 electoral votes from R to D would have made a bigger impact.

It's also interesting that the Obama campaign announced on Friday that they stopped advertising in seven "red" battleground states. These states includes ones when McCain has now taken a lead like Florida, Virginia, Ohio, and Georgia. So much for the Howard Dean "50 state strategy".

According to Real Clear Politics, if the election were held today and toss up state criteria were ignored, McCain would win the election 274 (270 are required) electoral votes to Obama's 264.

Disappointed August 23rd, 2008 3:22 am ET

Hillary 2012! Until then who cares, Obama you can win this without us Hillary supporters, or so you think.

____________________________________

And what Hillary Supporters fail to realize is that you'll need us Obama Supporters in 2012! You better wake up because we WILL remember.

How funny! One of the biggest Washington insiders who has been part of the establishment for decades and called out the Democratic nominee as not being experienced enough to be president .......now that is change I can believe in.

I'm sorry you're so disappointed, Disappointed. As a woman, I would have loved to see a woman president as well, but Hillary just wasn't the woman for the job. Try Kathleen Sebelius 2016 – a much better candidate, with much stronger credentials and a lot more "likability" factor. Seriously, TRY to get over it! She lost! She wouldn't have done nearly as well as she did in the early primaries (including FL and MI) if John Edwards and the others hadn't also been running. It would have been a much bigger victory for Obama.

Obama clearly won the nomination and Hillary is going to be able to do a heck of a lot more as a senator with a democratic president. Think about it. If you truly believe in what Hillary was fighting for, you wouldn't have this negative attitude! They have the same agenda! No time for sour grapes... Be a democrat and stand with your party!!! Even Hillary wants you to...

President Barack Obama 2008/2012!!!

Obama will do anything to get elected. His speeches got him this far but he knew he was an empty suit. So he went out to get a someone who knew how to govern. Problem is Biden is as old style politics as they come.

So much for a new style of politics. Obama is a like a use car salesmen. He'll lie to close the deal.

Go Joe

Barack demonstrated his good judgment again in picking Biden.

Leadership we can believe in.

I'm 58 and think this will bring get positive change to America.

Wow. I'm glad so many people are deciding based on policies and not on how angry they are that their own candidate didn't make it. Do you really think not voting or voting Republican instead will help? You're just punishing yourselves. I've never seen anyone act so melodramatic over such pitiful grounds.

As far as McCain's attack goes: Umm... doesn't that actually make having Biden with Obama better? I mean if his "harshest critic" is willing to work with him? and not to mention that it would provide a strong alternative viewpoint in White House policy making discussions. Biden is not my ideal choice, nor was Obama. But they're the best we've got, and I think Obama and Biden will make a great team.

Just for the record Obama Got 17 or 18 million votes, what does cthis mean well simple if he does'nt get elected then Hillary will never be president,you see alot of us chave memory's better than John Mcmemory.

Consult Hillary ? lmao .. WHYYYYYYYYYY?

Wait, the Democrats have a younger, charismatic presidential candidate running on a theme of changing how things are done in Washington teamed up with an older, Washington-insider with foreign policy experience and a "bulldog" personality.... wait, where have I heard this before...

Face it, Obama/Biden is just more of the same

Obama = Bush/ Biden = Cheney

Why is my comment awaiting moderation?! C'mon now CNN.

I'm so proud'a mah sonny boy pickin that good o'le white man. Me-sah soooo proud, Me-sah lova-da new Star Wars cartoon. HER-KYA-LEES HER-KYA-LEES!

Me-sah like dat name.

I luv yous for da 1st time America,

Love,

Obama's Mamma

John McBush or Barak O'carter?

I will take a Bush over a Carter anyday.

Disappointed - you're right we're registering new voters as you write in HRC's name to replace you and then some ! Waste YOUR vote .. I hope you don't have a husband or kids cause McCain wants the draft again !

I have never voted for a Republican in my life.Ever.Monday morning Im going to call the local Republican office and get a new card.I am going to work and vote for John McCain.I do not trust Obama and cann't believe that he thru Hillary under the bus.I have been voteing since JFK in 1960.I am sick and mad at the same time that Obama would throw away 18 million votes.

Obama is going down, sorry folks, he just can not deliver the goods...

McCain/Clinton08 has a nice ring to it!!!!

Obama could have Jesus himself as VP and McCain would still find a way to criticize.

Some thoughts:
There is no such word as "unexperienced'
Seems nobody can alter what they think without 'flip-flopping'. Already had 8 years of someone who wont change what he thinks.
All presidential candidates are vetted every day by the opposing campaign and the media.
Hillary (and Bill) have been vetted relentlessly for years. Little need to do it further.
Seems that the 'same Washington players" must mean all of them and nobody there does a good job.
When did Hillary turn into 'our only hope to survive'? Maybe she needs a cape.
Joe Biden has more experience than Hillary could hope for.
PUMA's are slowly becoming the Nader's of 2008. If they cost Obama the election they will be just as reviled.

Watch out! The destruction force, OBAMA-BIDEN, is coming to tear down MacBush...Well..this country needs to have a better direction. Eight years of republicans in the white house have been a disastreous. Let's be real..OBAMA-BIDEN is a ticket that would bring this country again to its high level.

OBAMA-BIDEN 08

All you so called democrats voting for Mccain, please go ahead. There is no pleasing you guys. So do your worse and vote for Mccain, seriously who cares. But learn how to say it with me: presdient Obama come NOv

Yay I just got my text!

McCain has nothing positive to tell us about himself? He has to resort to attacking Obama and his VP?

As part of the "religious right" I helped get Bill Cliinton and his crew out of the white house, and voted George Bush in for 2 terms. But now I'm beginning to realize that the REPUBLICANS are simply using the "Christian" network as their puppet to push their hateful, spiteful, power-trip agenda.

Why should Obama consult with Bill or HRC about who he was picking for vice president? did bill consult with Jimmy carter? i think not.
Obama won !
Obama won!
Obama won!
people seem to have forgotten that.
Obama-Biden 08.

I wonder if McCain really wants to open the pandora's box of criticism. Really. I mean, who can he possibly choose, aside from Lieberman, who hasn't already talked smack about him in a plethora of soundbites as well?

Lieberman is my bet for VP, even though all the buzz is about Romney right now. I'd love to see a McCain/Romney ticket! How easy would those two obnoxious clowns be to beat in a debate. Two flip-floppers who couldn't stand eachother! Lieberman would probably be the smartest way to grab some independent and Jewish votes, but he's a crypt keeper like McCain and he certainly won't be very well received by the GOP base – a.k.a. Republiscum!

The next couple of days should be really interesting.

Joe Biden is a BULLDOG!!!
If anyone can fill perceived gaps of Obama, he can! On top of that Biden doesn't take any [Expletive: Deleted]!

I do hope Hillary gets a big spot (if she does not go for Governor of NY) like splitting up the HHS and having her as the first Health (Only) Sec.!!!

Biden: RUFF!!! Go get'em!!!!

Obama not a good choice for VP Joe Biden you said in your speeches CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE I don't see the change that your are saying in your speeches. In your debate you stated to Hillary Clinton voted for this war and you did not , but you turn around and selected a person who also voted for this war, you beat up Hillary about voting for this war. What happen to Change first african american for president, change first female for VP Change . Thinking about sitting this election out. Not happy with the Democratic Party now, I guess like James Brown said THIS IS A MAN WORLD, SORRY LADIES WE ARE JUST IN IT. A person like Hillary can get votes you need to win this election ask about the 18 million voter who feel the same way . Obama if you trying to win over Hillary supporter I guess you just lost one , but I guess you don't care see you in Nov.

Well, Senator Obama just made up my mind, at the age of 56, I will now be voting for a Republican for the very first time. I am so disappointed that he played it safe instead going for REAL change

Can you sell me something I don't want to buy Obama? Without Hillary you have lost me and I will write her name in this November.

Hillary 2012! Until then who cares, Obama you can win this without us Hillary supporters, or so you think.

lol, McCain's camp fails to mention that at the time Biden criticized Obama's experience he was himself, running for president.

Crimeny...they would have said the same thing about Hillary, or Richardson if Obama had chosen them, and if McCain chooses anyone that was running for the republican nominee, then Obama's camp would surely choose to pick on the things he said negatively about McCain on the trail too.

same old same old.

republicans are finished

I love Joe Biden. I had my bet on Kathleen Sebelius, but McCain couldn't touch either one of them! I hope this isn't some kind of hoax. I haven't gotten my text message or email yet!

Go Obama/Biden 2008?!? I can could definitely be down with that! Who's going to be Sec. of State now? Gore? Sebelius?

Now all McCain needs to do is pick Bobby Jindal, who can jump on Biden's racist Indian gaffe from two years ago in the debates and skewer him with it on live TV.

did you know that before you saw it on the news..By the way how guiltya re others of the same thing..Think about it.. Read a little history about our 16th president.. Have you seen plagirizm when rating individuals???It is a new day..Move on the rest of the world is...

mcain please destroy obama for the same old lieing ploitician he is
this democrat is becoming an republican

Start crying over your loss McCain! You are no match for an Obama/Biden ticket. Go home and cry to your mama! Poor little Johnny!

Joe Biden is a BULLDOG!!!
If anyone can fill perceived gaps of Obama, he can! On top of that Biden doesn't take any [Expective deleted]!

OBamanites we now have the last laugh, those 1/2 of what you call "clinton holdouts" that you say will support Obama well guess again, now you have the full 18 Million cracks to contend with. The other 1/2 would only support your "selected nominee if Hillary was VP choice. Bad boys, Bad Boys, what ya gonna do? And it looks like your losing the internet war! Maybe after the suit filed today against your "selectee" regarding his eligibility to run based on his citizenship he may not even make it through the convention.

President Obama!
McCain can't lead himself to a water fountain without wondering what would Bush do? Karl Rove start looking for a new job, no more Repubs, no more war.

America just cannot afford another Bush term, period!!!

Now thats funny.

Obama picks someone for v.p. who has said that obama is not ready to be president! hahahahhaha.

Yes, a washington insider since he was 29 – yeah, thats change we can believe in! hahahahahaha.

The Dems really screwed up this time!

All the more reason to question the intentions of Sen. Obama. Do we really know who and what his intentions are? Strong arm tactics and rampant racism. The DNC picked the weaker candidate, gave unearned votes to Obama. His weaknesses show up in his flip flops, a questionable past, and a lack of concrete history of action. How can I make an informed decision for real change based on these? All I know for sure is that he willingly attended Trinity Church for 20 years listening to hate and divisiveness, (no wonder the democrats are divided,) is the chairman of the Subcommittee on European Affairs with jurisdiction over NATO’s operations but didn’t call a meeting in two years, and his campaign strong armed it's way into the nomination, but hey that doesn't matter because he will change things for the better, right

Well, A a Republican, I am really nervous because our candidate has only one credential that he brandishes; that is, being a POW. With Biden on this ticket, and not Clinton as expected, Mccain needs to get rid of that POW stuff. He needs to redefine his style and message especially as he is still suffering from the home gaffe he gave Obama on a plata of Gold

lol BIden makes it a slam dunk for McCain huh

what is wrong with the schools in america ?

AS A WARM BLODDED CLINTON REPUPLICAN WHO WILL NOW VOTE ABSENTEE FROM TEXAS.........................VIVVA MCCAIN...BRING ON CLINTON 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA IS A LITERATE BUSH WITH ANOTHER CHENEY BEHIND HIM! VIVA MCCAIN. VIVA TEXAS!!

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!

This is SO rich! A VP candidate who also plagiarizes. Someone who loves to talk on-and-on without really saying much. A person who, as NBC journalist Chuck Todd pointed out, "Loves the sound of his own voice.".

Let's not forget Biden has been in Washington 10 years longer than McCain has. Of course, Obama is all about changing Washington, right?

The following quote is from USA Today on 12/28/07 when Obama was campaigning during the Iowa caucuses:
Making his case against Hillary Rodham Clinton without naming her, Obama said, "The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result."

Apparently Obama flip-flopped on that too.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08. NICE WORK. SO LONG,MCSHAME.

Hey right wingers....looks like McCain is picking Romney. Who slammed McCain more than anyone else during the primaries? Romney!

Biden's criticism is a non-issue, it's politics.

YOUR concern should be a ticket with two multi-millionaire elitists completely out of touch with the average American.

Hillary voters==do the right thing, keep the Republicans out of the White House.

Joe Biden is by far more qualified than Hillary Clinton! For those of you who are still wanting Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton can't hold a candle to Joe Biden. For those of you who are still counting the 18 million voters, that is equivalent of me trying to get my employer to give me a raise based on endorsements I got in another past evaluation period. The truth is Hillary Clinton was running on experience that she just does not have. Jo Biden actually has experience. The only experience Hillary Clinton has is deceiving the American people. If Hillary Clinted had been selected, Hillary and Bill would have behaved just the way they are behaving for the convention and undermining Obama work.

Isn't this the same Biden, who two days ago stood in front of the cameras and bold faced lied to everyone saying he knew nothing and hadn't talked to anyone. LIAR, LIAN PANTS ON FIRE. Good choice Obama, just goes to show what kind of character guy you chose.

hey right wingers....looks like McCain is picking Romney. Who slammed McCain more than anyone else during the primaries? Romney!

Biden's criticism is a non-issue, it's politics.

YOUR concern should be a ticket with two multi-millionaire elitists completely out of touch with the average American.

Obama/ Biden for Change, the Economy, Homeland Security- going after those responsible for the heinous attack on American soil, Unity of the nation for a Perfect Union,Health Care, Re-shaping America's image on the international front, Foreign Affairs, Diplomacy, and Hope.

McSame/Bush/Rove/Cheney for 100 years War in Iraq, Bomb bomb bomb Iran, i know nothing about the Economy, i don't know how many Houses i Own because i Sleep in money and i am out of touch with Reality. I am the master of foreign affairs, that's why i have consistently referred to Czechoslovakia, a country which by the way does Not EXIST and of course i am an expert when it comes to Homeland Security, that is why i voted for a War in Iraq instead of full focus on Afghanistan and now Osama Bin Laden is still out there........

So much for homeland security! So much for "i will chase Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell."

It's all over McSame!! The perception that you are knowledgeable about foreign affairs, the notion that John McBush knows world affairs is laughable and is slowly crushing down just like your "straight talk "express.

Obama/Biden 08

"Hope - Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope."
- Barack Obama

There's plenty of quotes from Republicans slamming McCain ..

If he chooses Romney - loads from those debates of the two of them fighting

yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!

Instant hypocritical criticism from Mr. McCain and his fellow republicans is no surprise. Could anyone on the opposite side of their narrow-minded beliefs have expected anything different.?

They probably had their words already written several weeks ago. No matter who Mr. Obama may have chosen, they would have leveled the same criticism.

We all must remember that this same bunch, including Mr. McCain, showed how intelligent they are by supporting George W. Bush and Dick Chaney; who with all of their so-called experience have put forth and executed, the worst foreign policy actions in this nation's history. Add this to their record; before they came into office, the United States and a budget surplus. Now we have the worst national debt in history. Can any of us forget the lies and half truths that they put forth to us and the rest of the world to justify the war in Iraq?

No amount of criticism of the opposing party's nominees can erase or obscure that disgraceful record.

With all of their so-called experience, they and Mr. McCain propose solutions to our energy crisis that involve drilling for more oil; the burning of which is of the source of air pollution and climate change and building more expensive and dangerous nuclear power plants.
This is plain stupidity.

The United States and the rest of the world need a big change in policies and attitude from our government.

Joe Biden as VP is a good choice. So is Barack Obama for president.

Go Obama! Go Joe Biden!

oh yeah right. I can't wait to find out McCain has chosen so the Obama camp can release a statement on how their VP ripped McCain in the primaries. Get real McCain!

OBAMA-BIDEN 08

thats the only thing the mccain camp is good on, wait for obamas action (positive actions at that) and try to make it look bad...Obama made the whole world start loving america and mccain came up with celebrity statue, Obama was precise on how the war in iraq should end mccain said he s not patriotic...but what has mccain offered ...town hall meetings with people sleeping, 100 years in iraq,bomb iran, start another cold war with russia, no clew on the economy, 5 million dollar definition of being rich, dont even know how many house he s got...please mccain tell the people what you ll do and not what obama is doing ( and doing incredible well)

Writing in Hillary - lol that is the silliest comment yet from PUMA

THE-–TIME-–FOR--CHANGE--IS--NOW!!!

NO-–MORE-–BACKWARD-–IDEAS--WITH-–MCCAIN

--AND-–THE-–REPUBLICANS

NOT--THIS-–TIME-!-!-!

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008 AND 2012

I am a hillary supporter / Clintons....and I am so upset with Obamas treatment of Hillary . I think if he loses, it will be his own fault. He had the best opportunity ever to have a dream ticket. He could have won this hands down. I dont know what to say for him now. I think he is to arrogant to put her on the ticket because he is jealous of her. I am not the only one who believes this. There is many of us. I dont know if I can vote for him..I am going to try but I cant promise you anything. I wanted Hillary on the ticket. Peggy for Hillary

well mcCain, I guess you can't pick Mitt Romney because he said a lot more negative things against you!!!

Joe Biden has the acid tongue that Obama needs to beat the old lying, senille, 72 year old McShame. Karl Rove's tactics will not work for sure. McShame should go to the retirement home with all his old crooniesm so this country can move in the right direction. Stop lying husband stealing Cindy–especially about a woman who spent her life helping others as well as a woman of integrity–Mother Teresa.

It just seem that The Vice presidential choice is more equip to govern than the presumed democratic nominee. So it will be like Bush Cheney and we can now wonder what mess Barrack will do in the Whitehouse granting Biden will put him there. What change are you going to bring in Washington... Biden is Washington Boy.
It will be Mccain...... new president to be... no doubt about ability, no doubt about integrity.. no doubt about readiness.. no doubt about love of country... no doubt about leadership... no doubt about courage... no doubt about economics... no doubt about foreign policies... no doubt about healthcare.. For Mccain... it is always America first.. no doubt.

The delusions of grander displayed by the Obamamaniacs in the comments is really quite funny.

Does anyone remember Biden running for President last year? Thought so.

The guy is a blowhard, and all that "experience" is going to end up being a big albatross around a candidate who has branded himself as the agent of "change" and anti-Washington politics.

Plus, the McCain camp is going to have hundreds of hours of video of Biden deriding Obama just a few short months ago when he was running for President. Biden and Obama are going to either 1) look like grand idiots trying to convince everyone that Biden's criticisms suddenly no longer have merit or 2) convince everyone that yes, "change that you can believe in" is really just business as usual.

Neither strategy is going to win the White House.

This is going to be very intressing. Good pick Obama

Funny how all of these dumb republicans and HIllary supporter keep bringing up the fact that Biden said negative things about Obama in the primary. Well, nothing that biden has ever said is worst than anything Hillary spit out during the primary. And what are you rethugs goint to say if Mc " I know nothing about the economy" chooses Romney, who has said horrible things about Mclame, as his running mate. Please think before you speak.

Lack of experience label fits every president elected for the first term in this country, attempted job promotions, dating ..you name it..Only in the second term have we had leaders with some experience leading this vast government.

As a minority , retired military menber, and employee from the private sector; I have heard and live with these comments most of my life. I would like Obama's staff to get this stigma out of the campaign messages about their candidate...

Obama will tear apart that loser McCain.
Biden will tear apart Mitt Romney.

Poor guys – if they didn't deserve it, I'd feel bad for them.

Hey McCain, do you remember "The Keating Five" also ask Phil Graham if he remembers "The Enron scandal". Well in case you don't we, the voters do.

From what I can see, all of them said things about each other that shouldn't have been said. Take for example, the things that Mitt Romney said about John McCain, and, the things John McCain said about Huckabee. Or, let's look at some of the things Hillary Clinton said about Senator Obama, and vice versa. Or, how about Hillary Clinton saying "the republicans should apologize and not run anybodoy!!" Which, by the way, was an excellent observation (and now you Hillarly supporters want to vote for McCain?). You are idiots if you think for one minute that they don't all know how to get along, especially for the good of politics. Believe me, when McCain picks Mitt Romney, they 'll be plenty of things that was said that he will be reminded of by the Obama campaign!!! And, if McCain picks Bobby Jindal, I can see all of the nasty comments now, in particular "a cowboy and an indian", who also has done next to nothing about the disaster in Ward 9 in New Orleans. I can go on and on about the negative things each candidate said about the other, but at the end of the day, they remain civil to each other, some even continue to like each other and they continue to do their job. What do you who support them do? I'll tell you, YOU ALL CONTINUE TO TEAR EACH OTHER APART, WHILE THE CANDIDATES COULD CARE LESS!!!

McCain is already adding the water to his dirt...slinging mud already? boy how McCain's desperation has killed his integrity...John McCain threw his maverick image under the bus

If McCain was smart he would make Clinton his running mate. He would get both Democrats AND Republicans. It's not unheard of for there to be a President of one party and vice-President of another. It would blow Obama and what's his name (Binden?) out of the water.

It will not even be close. McCain in 08

What are you going to do now John McCain? ALL of your foreign policy mumbo-jumbo is now flushed down the toilet. You DO NOT know more about foreign policy than Senator Biden who heads the Senate Foreign Policy Comittee and is YOUR leader in this subject.

President Bush proves you wrong (Iraqi time table).

Admiral Mullen proves you wrong (more troops to Afghanistan).

The President of France proves you wrong (brokered a peace deal between Russia and Georgia without doing any of the stupid things McCain said).

Senator Obama proved you wrong (you don't know jack about foreign policy).

now

Senator Biden can bring truth to the many lies you have been telling the voters for the past 2 years.

YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK. BYE BYE.

Ha ha ha, McCain knows he's owned!

Biden's political rhetoric in the primaries will be counter-balanced by his gracious and respectfull reflection and reconsideration.

Mano a mano competition is one thing, unity and putting country over self-pride and ego is another.

Joe Biden can even counter lukewarm and bitter PUMA, Not Falling in Line, former Pres. Clinton, and psedo-Democratic predators inexperience falacies.

All you Hillary acolytes are sad and pathetic. We know you can't stand that Obama is black and has a funny name, but in the words of one union rep "he's still a democrat. Get over it." How is one person that you don't even know personally more important to you and the state of the country itself?

And why does everyone keep thinking that the president has to be capable of doing everything in the job description himself? No one knows everything. This is why he has a cabinet and advisors. This is why the truly intelligent presidents pick VPs like Biden and surround themselves with intelligent people. Stop trying to find reasons not to like Obama and acknowledge how disastrous giving anymore time to a conservative (or a senile recent conservative wannabe) would be for our country.

For thirty years, our family has faithfully voted as Democrats. Seconds upon learning of Mr. Obama’s selection for vice president, and his decision to not ask Sen. Clinton to runs as his VP, we registered online as Independents and will support John McCain for President of the United States. How is that for CHANGE?

This IS change you can believe !! Even though Biden is an old Washington insider his experience in foreign policy in invaluable... TO OBAMA: you can teach an old dog new tricks and he can teach you some old tricks that work in the new politics as well. Thank you Senator Biden for coming on the ticket!! Obama/Biden 08

Ever so sorry McWar....you cannot beat an OBAMA/BIDEN TICKET....would wish you good luck, but would not really mean it! Just hope this news article is true.....EVERY SO HAPPY! Way to go Obama!

Chicago Architect – the direction you want is communism.
It will not happen. Conservative democrats will no vote for Nobama Hussein. McCain in 08

Doesn't matter who Obama picks, he is most likely going to lose. Reasons:

1) our country is a developed nation but ONLY in infrastructure and technology but we are NOT yet there / ready in terms of mentality and intellectual thinking – we JUST cannot get over this racial/caste/religion factors EVEN with the younger generation and professional folks support for Obama. The popular vote would rather vote for a Mccain OR even another 90 year old Cowboy than Obama or as a matter of fact a woman.
2) The Clinton factor is going to further screw this equation and is going to work backwards for Obama...

Fact of the matter is America – Wake Up / Grow up. As long as you do not try to change our current image of "trigger happy", you will NEVER get over this Security and Fear pychosis and the billions and trillions of Tax money wasted in the name of security – this is a different economy now and not something old timers like Mccain can handle... but who cares – we are just happy with a main stream guy ....

Agree With you Jeb. Now the Repubullies will get what they have deserved all this seven years. I can't sleep just thinking about it. It's Show Time!!! And we get to be part of the action. Change has finally Come!!!

Seriously? Joe Biden?

I thought Obama was going to shake things up in Washington, and end the status quo? Joe Biden is the status quo.

Obama/Biden...must be another joke. Did not Biden say Obama wasn't a leader? McCain is going to destroy the both of them. Way to dish the Clinton's Obama, this is going to come back to haunt you. Might have to watch the Dem convention to see all the fireworks. LOL This would be a good Pres. race if H. Clinton ran as an independent, now that would be good.

BTW-never did I or would I support H. Clinton. I just like seeing the Dem party destroy itself over Obama.

McCain '08

Shakin my head...you can't please all the people all the time. It is what it is, we got to roll with it. Don't worry be happy

Writing In Hillary On November Ballott : Do what you got to do. This is a free country, so do your thang!

Obama/Biden 08&12

Biden? This is what we've all been waiting for? this whole election is a snoozer. Where are the truly great leaders in America? There isn't a single one on the presidential ballot this fall.

The only one they will not find something to use against will be a new born baby. Otherwise no one is clean in politics. There's something that can be used against anyone in politics. The only difference is that some are more riskier than others.

AAhh...Biden...he can't keep his mouth shut. He'll say something stupid at least once a week, he can't help himself.

Biden has spent decades in Washington...

so much for Change.

McCain, I am a democrate that will not be voting for Obama. Please take your time picking your VP. I will vote for you(my first time for a Republican ever) so long as your VP isn't ultra conservative. There are more of us who will do the same.

Well, if that's McCain's argument, it sure is a good thing Obama didn't pick Hillary then. When you think about all the great sound bites they can get from her....

So McCain... you better not be thinking about picking Mitt Romney either then....

Jan 20, 2009 can't come soon enough. Go Barack Go

What are going to do now John McCain? ALL of your foreign policy mumbo-jumbo is now flushed down the toilet. You DO NOT know more about foreign policy than Senator Biden who heads the Senate Foreign Policy Comittee and is YOUR leader in this subject.

old ?????????????? 6 year diff..... change?? 1972,,,,, hummm.. change ,, we really need to hear or see,, so , he chose moses to lead him to the promised land,, who , becomes vp next?

Nice pick Congratulation Biden OBAMA/BIDEN08..... Go and get them.

If MCbush is going to Quote Sen, BIden then the DEM's willQuote Romney,Huckaby,and the rest of the repub's on each other.

OBVIOUSLY OBAMA PICKED AND OLD MAN WITH AGE COMES WISDOM, JUDGEMENT, AND EXEPERIENCE SOMETHING OBAMA LACKS AND DOESN'T HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MCCAIN HAS COURAGE (P.O.W.),WISDOM, GOOD JUDGEMENT AND ALOT OF EXEPERIENCE HE DOESN'T NEED TO DEPEND ON A VP TO FILL IN THE HUGE GAPS OBAMA HAS!!!!!!!! THE WISES CHOICE IS MCCAIN 08 ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello!
I Thought Biden was a smart choice but know i realised that this will highlight Obamas unexperience..a vice-president candidate who has been so critical about Obamas unexperience is the republicans best friend!

Overflowing?

OBAMA/BIDEN

...AMAZING.

Okay Obama got what he described in a VP ... someone who will tell him when he thinks that he is wrong ... someone who is not a "yes" man ... someone who is qualified to be President. The fact that Biden has critized Obama in the past, just underscores that Biden is the right person for the job. All the people on McCain's short list especially Romney have critized him in the past. Therefore, McCain would'nt have a leg to stand on if he tries to use "past critizism" as a weapon because it could backfire on him.

McCain and staff shameful attacks already!

it's funny that Mc Cain put britney spears and paris hilton in a commercial next to Obama calling him a celebrity, pathetic jealousy on his part....

when TWO of the biggest 'superstars' of the republiklan party are the Governator in California, and ex cowboy actor R Reagan.

more movie celebrities in office in that party.....

Anonymous, you and your fellow Republicans need to stop pretending to be former Clinton supporters. We true Clinton supporters are doing everything to keep McCain out of office. Your ploy is not working.

Obama bin Biden, no.

Obama-Biden.

Two democrats, two statesmen, from the Democratic Party for the Presidency of the United States.

If Biden had truely said this the GOP would have said it a long time ago. McCain Campaign will say any thing lie or truth to win.

Hey Puma's how about your Girl Hillary is saying she never wanted the job of Vice President. If this is true Hillary supporters are very stupid.

Independent from FL...you mean "inexperienced" not "unexperienced" ......no wonder you are for McCain...idiots 4 idiots :}!

It is always hard to fight two people who share very much the same.

Clinton said much worse, and more often. When Biden got out he jumped behind Obama without hesistation. If you think he can't wing this what was he supposed to do with Clinton on the ticket? Biden said some things because he was trying to win, Obama said things, Richardson said things, Edwards said things that if ANY of them ran together they could replay. Think about a McCain/Romney ticket if they did that? Some of you are being a little short-sighted. Obama/Biden works for me!

Why are people giving Obama a hard time for picking Biden? First they rip him for inexperience and when he gets an experienced VP they rip him for that. What is wrong with this country?

Hey..."Shaking my head"...is the country better off today than it was eight years ago? If so vote for McSame....Obama/Biden will win in a landslide!

Oh..by the way..nice rework of the "slam dunk"...George Tenet told George W. that Iraq was a slam dunk as well...maybe the Republicans should copywrite the phrase...:-)

To Writing in Hillary on November Ballot –

Instead..why don't you write a check and show her some real love! Hillary needs your money. She said she's broke because she was trying to represent and appease all you supporters. Call your ridiculous friends and send her a dollar or two!

Obama made the right choice! The Clinton's have so much dirt (that Obama didn't bother bringing out), the republicans couldn't wait to run with it! Very little on Biden (some... but very little). Obama – Biden is a strong ticket... Shake it your boots Republicans... Shake in your boots.

I'm a happy Dem

Obama has lost any chance of obtaining my vote this November! Congratulations to President McCain.

One House, One Spouse
Obama/Biden 2008

Obama will lose, He's trying to pick someone that has Foreign Policy experience but what he needs is someone that can go negative and attack, the Republicans are going to eat him alive, People say that if he loses it's Hillarys fault, no it's not, it's all those super deligates who new she was more electable than him, but all this kids thinking that there is change, what kind of change if he has no type of experience, the only experience he has is by stealing elections, He will never be our President, If he did not even value the voices of more than the votes he got, He will be creamed, I really think that if he would have chose Hillary, People would have trustred him more now. He will lose, There is no turning back, Democrats wake up, The country will go back to another 3rd Bush term, He will lose a war to get elected, Please people listen to him and look at the country how it will go, Don't forget the 90's when there was a surplus in the white house, And who was running the country... Hillary does not owe anybody anything, And FL and MI should not forget what they did to them there, Don't forget he is the same liar that gave u all half a vote, they should petition to pay 1/2 of taxes since there votes only counted 1/2 He makes me sick

Have you seen the 1988 Biden Campaign video in which he says that experience is necessary to be President? He talked about it during the primaries, and its hillarious to find out that hes the VP of Obama, the most inexperienced presidential candidate ever.

McCain is going to win this election now!

MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

Joe-

Have you seen your man Obama debate?
If he doesn't have a teleprompter, it sounds like English is his second language. If you're counting on the debates to decide this race, your man will lose.
This choice may make the vice-presidential debates entertaining, but we don't know who McCain's choice is. And, who cares about the VP debates anyway?

I think everyone is underestimating how many votes this choice will cost Obama, a lot of people, millions, wanted Hillary.

OBAMA 'S PICK 4 VP ONLY PROVES THAT HE LACKS EXEPERIENCE!!!!! AND BIDEN EVEN SAID IT HIMSELF IN A DEBATE . MCCAIN READY TO LEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The McCain camp is TOAST! Old man still yelling at cloud, I see!

Joe Biden is going to have a field day w/ the McCain camp and their antics. He is just what the doctor ordered.

I hope they don't think Mitt is not in for a rude awakening, 'cause he has his faults too...

In closing, Biden is the man!

Obama/Biden 08 B 4 it's 2 late!!!!!!!

Biden is an okay choice. Obama obviously wants a challenge rather than the slam dunk. We shall see...

Best of luck Obama/Biden, the future of our citizens depends on you. You will need every break you can get.

Put McCain away!

There was no love lost between McCain and Romney in the primaries, and I hear that name over and over again that he’s on McCain’s short list. It’s politics as usual. All of them, well except the hot heads and poor losers, kiss and make up at the end.

Writing in Hillary on November Ballot... in the republican slot

Good for Obgama, Biden exemplefies and fills in his weaknesses.

McCain/Palin 08.

To anyone "Writing in Hillary on November Ballot": Could you please explain WHY you would do that? Do you think Hillary will actually win? No, I doubt you do. So dealing with the hard reality for a moment, which candidate, McCain or Obama, do you think Hillary will be voting for? Putting aside cults of personality for a moment, which candidate is more likely to support the same policies and appoint the same Justices that Clinton would have? C'mon. Even as bitterly disappointed as they are, do you really think Hillary and Bill themselves would want you to enable McCain and the Republicans to keep the White House?

Several anoymous sources but confirmed McCain insiders are reluctantly confirming that Senator John McCain will name Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as his Presidential running mate. Apparantly, the move tagged as Democrablican politics has been in the works for well over a year and is the brainchild of the now reclusive Bush strategist Karl Rove. "Project Republicrat", a complex and still vaguely understood "power deal" is said by sources to have been discreetly engineered by a virtually secret fellowship including the Bush dynasty, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, the Clintons and Senator McCain's current wife Cindy. Senator McCain, showing signs of confusion this week over joint ownership of realestate with his current wife Cindy is reportedly on the verge of a total emotional collapse under the stress of being front man and major puppet of this truely remarkable and historic scheme.....In the words of one of the McCain insiders, "I don't know...it's freaky, all of the sudden it was like...pow...wow!!....Cindy is calling the shots for John...alot of us got really scared...she's like an alien or something...when she smacked him he went down...her expression didn't even change....she just said we're doing this...!! The room was totally silent. That vigorous handshake story was just a cover...the sling is real man....she popped....we had to tell somebody."

Isn't journalism supposed to be without bias? So wouldn't it be proper to say that McCain is making the same observations as Hillary, rather than saying he's copying her?

The difference here is that the same comments that Hillary made might be made by anyone if they are in fact true and accurate observations, which both Hillary and McCain perceive them to be!

I would have liked to see Clinton get the runner up position, but Biden isn't bad either. Regardless of who he chose, it's better than McCain. FWIW, McCain isn't favoured all that well up here.

Stars and Garters!!!!!
The McCain camp is upset because they've been outplayed?!

Gee, there's a shocker. A bit like G.Gordon Liddy having a problem with the guy who leaked his whereabouts that fateful night isn't it?

McCain = Pace Maker Sales

Isn't grandpa in bed yet?

It really amazes me the stupidity in this country. Take for instance Chicago Architect... "McCain=Bush, Bush=McCain" we can only hope that McCain is half the president. You want to see something scary? Obama-Biden= Carter- Kennedy

McCain = Bush = McCain = Bush = McCain = Bush = McCain = Bush= Dumb = Dumb = Dumb = Dumb = Dumb = Dumb = Dumb

Barack Obama is indeed ready to be President. Both Biden and Hillary has attacked Obama. It was in the primary, but neither of them survive the primary. We choose Obama. We believe he is ready. We prefer his vision, his direction, where he is leading the country. We prefer his demeanor in handling conflicts.

On the flip side, if Biden has attacked Obama, and Obama still choose Biden for his VP, that's tells me Obama doesn't hold a grudge. He chooses the best person for the job.

McCain is just sore because his 'surge' idea isn't get complimented. Heck, the 'surge' costs money, costs lives, and we can't afford to have a 'surge' everywhere. We don't have enough manpower, and it would bankrupt us.

Obama + Biden = Concise judgement, Clear vision, Experience and Change. GO OBAMA/BIDEN GO!

Ah...Obama does not have foreign policy experience- agreed. That is why Biden is in the ticket. How dumb do you think Americans are?

If this is what Mccain is thinking of using- then – seriously- at age 72-73 – he has lost his "bearings"

I keep on reading about obama don't have experience? Umm who has experience being president before your 1st term? Nobody has experience until you become president. And I will take someone with no experience than to vote for a nut job like mccain who is a 72 year old senile crazy man who is itching to draft your kids into the army and keep them over there for 100 years while he takes a dip in his jacuzzi at house #5 while his butler pours him champaign.

oh please. biden=mccain's worst nightmare.

Biden is going to absolutely destroy McCain in his role as attack dog.

I feel sorry for Mittens Romney or whatever gump McCain chooses.

Obama/Biden 08'

And Yes Ladies, that would be the final insult......

Obama says he wants "someone who is prepared to be president." He really needs to take a look in the mirror.

I would ask McCain to keep quiet about it if he is to choose Mitt Romney. Everybody remembers their bitter fight during primary season.

Biden- smart choice.

This is going to be a very interesting election...

Obama picked a well qualified VP that has been publicly critical of Obama, and disagrees with Obama on a number of issues, including Iraq. This is a man on a "Change" ticket, yet has been a Washington insider for more than half his life- since Obama was eight. This is the same VP candidate that happens to be very close to McCain– even saying that he would be honored to run WITH McCain.

There's a big hypocrisy alert with Obama, and a big conflict of interest with Biden. Can't wait for round 1!

what does that say about McCain then? If Biden thinks so lowly of Obama, yet endorses him over McCain?

yeah well after mccain picks mitt that argument will be moot.

Bbiiddeenn must have fliped floped..I do remember he said Oobbaammaa was not experienced enough to be President??? I am sure he will find someones old speech and steal it again.......HUM?

Either the McCain camp thinks we are stupid or they are stupid....

Unlike Hillary, Joe will be on TV refuting whatever they throw at him or Obama.

And for that matter, If Hillary had wanted to be VP she should have acted more like a VP and confronted the opposition head-on! She needed to do more than just reach out for party unity. THAT is what a VP does...

The McCain response is nothing but lies. It's sad that McCain, even though he saw his 2000 campaign destroyed by Bush-Rove lies, has now fully embraced the same destructive tactics in 2008.

OH YEAH!! Now things are really going to heat up! He will throw your slime right back at you, McCain.

Curious criticisms from the McCain party. If Biden has been such a purported critic of Obama's lack of experience and his foreign policy, then having Biden as a running mate actually serves as a benefit, as it gives Obama both Biden's foreign policy experience and a needed and valued critical voice in his ear. Seems to be a bit of a grasping at straws argument IMHO.

Fantastic!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

McCain is Don GOP. He is old, can't remember how many houses he own... He is not honest! And above all He wants us to have faith on Him...

Obama is peoples president

And I know that CNN will not post my comment... If you dont you r no more different that this war mongering unpredictable senator Don GOP

this is awsome.....now that he picked Biden it really is a Dumb and Dumber ticket vs McCain....Well lets see, this takes the age thing right out of it, and I hope everyone kept all the quotes from Binde during the Democratic Primaries where he totally ripped Obama......oh by the way Frank from California....you're an idiot

There you go, typical Republican tactics. It's tragedy when they slip on the banana peel, and comedy when the other side slips on it, but I'm hoping they slip on their own banana peels this time. If Americans 'fell' for the same President for 8 years, I'm hoping they'll wise up and not fall for more of the the same banana peels this time around.

Obama, thanks for disrespecting the 18 million voters that voted for Hillary. I will be voting for McCain, clearly you didn't get OUR message. Color you the Hollow Man who has nothing to offer but lame speeches and shallow world policies. You said that your Veep wouldn't have a say so on your foreign policies, yet you picked Biden, who does know foreign policy. You are either a liar about not knowing world affairs or an idiot for not understanding that Hillary carried every state you needed to defeat McCain. Thanks for wasting all the Democrats time.

OMG, McCain knows his time is up...Obama/Biden is going to slam him.... Old Man McCain is jealous and it is truly showing... He is not getting any press time and will not get any later....

Jealous OLD Man – get a life.....

Oh, please! Every political rival says the nastiest stuff about each other during the primaries. I just can't wait for Biden to start on the attack. Obama picked him because he realized last week he needs this kind of help. I hope Mitt is the other choice. A Biden / Romney debate, Biden would eat him for lunch. Oh the humanity...

While Barack was defending Hillary. Hillary was attacking Barack. This is the reason Hillary was not selected. She was reckless in her personal pursuit against her own team member.

spoony August 22nd, 2008 6:26 pm ET

we need mccain as are predient. he is a rich and hes white. i dont wont to be atacked by iran and the russians. i dont trust a black muzlim as presidnt. obama just wants to help poor black people and he does not care about whites
_____________________________________________________
is this the intelligence of white America...guess we know who voted for Bush...twice

Why are vice presidential candidates thoroughly vetted but presidential candidates are not?

It doesn't get more hypocritical than the running mate being the same person who said Obama wasn't ready to be President. Oh that's right, maybe we were "just not listening".... Give me a break. This just made it a slam dunk that McCain will be our next President. Nice work!

I can't believe how clueless the McCain campaign is. They have no idea the ammunition that Obama will use against them in October. Starting with the Keating 5. Just you wait. It will be brutal.

They should be preparing for the debates. Biden is the most terrifying guy to debate with. He will bury them, and I will savor every minute of it.

So long, McCain. Nice effort, better luck next time.

Obama has no chance. He is going to lose and the only chance he had of winning was to pick Clinton. The smartest thing the democrats can do is not elect Obama and pick Clinton for president instead.

Obama picked a well qualified VP that has been publicly critical of Obama, and disagrees with Obama on a number of issues, including Iraq. This is a man on a "Change" ticket, yet has been a Washington insider for more than half his life- since Obama was eight. This is the same VP candidate that happens to be very close to McCain– even saying that he would be honored to run WITH McCain.

Oh this is going to get nasty!

Man, I'm so happy Obama didn't pick me. You know, with that whole cheatin' on my cancer-stricken wife and everything. Aren't us guys just grand....:)

McCain = Bush = McCain = Bush = McCain = Bush = McCain = Bush

America, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE WAKE UP.

Whatever the McCain camp approach is, just take it as it really is:

- A much more dire future for this country
- A step back, instead of forward
- Despair instead of HOPE

Whatever analogy you chose, it has never been clearer, the choice IS to move forward and get this country back on its feet.

PUMAs forget the bitterness.

Undecideds, the decision is pretty clear now more than ever.

Republicans, stop the arrogance and join the country in a new direction.

God Bless America!

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, we are entitled to our own vote and our own choice. We owe nothing to a party who betrayed us.

The reason Obama will lose is because he is unexperienced, period.

if this is really a preview of the McCain attack, then say hello to President Obama. They're coming with the weak sauce!

If this was a real problem, McCain should have been on this from the start. McCain should have said, "Look, the head of Obama's subcommittee within the Senate says the guy is not doing a good job."

Instead, McCain chose to wait until Biden agreed to line up with Obama and put their full forces together. There is not doubt that Biden and Obama will come up with a strong, harsh respone to any attack McCain tries to make.

Obama is too fast and too smart with his responses for McCain to get him. I cannot wait to see both the presidential and vice presidential debates.

Obama is more than ready to be President, shown by his wise choice of Senator Biden as his running mate. Obama has great judgment, and Biden's foreign policy experience make them the perfect match.

That would shut old John McCain/McBush up. I like the fact that not only Obama is getting tuff on the right wing nuts job but he also got a brutal attack dog to nail down the constant republican propaganda.

Is this all Mcmanyhouses can say, he needs to grow up or better still,

grow positive!!!

I don't care what the McCain camp says.... I have a feeling they're shaking in their boots right now. LOL

Vote Smart – Obama-Biden '08!!!

Unfortunately Mc Old man that doesn't mean that you are ment to be president. Being captured for five years is not any better credential!!!!Maybe you can share story with grand-grand children if you are at all in touch with them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama, thanks for ignoring 18 million people that voted for Hillary. Kiss my Democratic rear good-bye.

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.
