If McCain wins Roe versus Wade will be overturned when he appoints 2 more conservative supreme court justices.
If McCain wins America will continue to fall apart economically.
If McCain wins the killing and wars will continue.

Why is this choice difficult for Americans?

Dan in TX...if you go to Obama blogs and issues, you'd SEE the amounts. They've been floated around for a couple months now.

Obama made a brilliant choice in picking Biden for VP! Change AND Experience. In my 59 years, I've NEVER seen a better VP pick than this. They complement each other so well. At last...a common sense team.

McCain will probably drown himself in Starbuck's coffees...well, IF he can find his Cadillac.

Anyone who drives a car and wants to continue to pay $4 plus a gallon for gas. anyone who eats and wants to continue to pay over $3.50 for a gallon of milk and still think that they are better off economically then they were 8 years ago should vote for McCain. Vote for McCain to preserve his 7 plus homes, his criminal behaviour in the Keating Five scandal and senate reprimand, his vow to appoint federal judges to overturn Toe V. Wade, his plans to privatize social security, his plans to keep us energy dependent, and every time he is questioned about positions he falls on the fact that he was a prisioner of war in vietnam. Has anyone every asked him what happened to the prisioners of war whose fahers were Admirals and whose bodies have still not been recovered. Vote McCain and live the nightmare.

Why are people downing Obama for not picking Hillary for VP
if Hillary would had got it she would not have pick Obama for her
VP and all of her backers know it is true. Just go back and look at
all her ads she had on TV but than that would be OK with all her
backer

obamas VP will destroy Mccains camp thats for sure. Experiance and Brain togather you cant beat that. Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!!!!!!!! we dont need another four ye

One question: Are we better off than we were 8 years ago?

Thank you Obama for creating a TEAM to work at the Whitehouse and not the Board Room buddies.

Spread fear, create hate – vote Republican

An A Typical comment from Rudy. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything more. Spoken like a true Bush Loyalist with the two faces of Rudy. His comment truly shines a bright light on those of Nobility like the Insight, Charm, Style and Grace shown by Caroline Kennedy!
Is there any Character or Integrity within the Republican Regime?

I should go back through the archives, but I think my memory is fairly solid – wasn't a primariy reason George W Bush selected Cheney due to his experience... to provide some credibility to a man who had been a governor and never had experience on the national stage?

So why was it a wise choice for GWB and an obvious falter for Obama to make a similarly thought-out selection?

Even if you hate Obama, Republicans, at least see this for what it was in BOTH cases – their respective selections for VP as a smart move to address their perceived weakness when they were (or are) candidates.

Obama said HRC is on his short list, but Obama lied.

Obama sees in Biden a mentor, wgom reminded everyone that Obama is not ready to be President.

In the Obama/Biden ticket, the democrats have putted the cart before the horse.

America does not need a de facto President behind the President.

@ Steve

I agree with you 100000%

People are comlaining about the economy, but you want to elect someone president who will follow the same failed Policies and send American into a deeper dept.

If Obama Losses.. I'm moving to Canada!!

What does Caroline Kennedy have other than the Kennedy name?

She is a hypocrite for not having Hillary's name in the short list.

Was she jealous of Hillary?

Latinos for McCain all the way BABY!!!!!!!! Latinos open your eyes OBAMA is not for the Latinos people. Just ask the Latinos that supported Hillary, and now that Obama pick Biden all of the LATINOS are going to McCain!!!!!!!!

Latinos for McCain!!!!!!

it is amusing to read all this nonsense on CNN...
I mean, really, the president's role is to surround himself with the top people who are able to put his ideas and goals into action.
Obama's strenght lies in organizing, reaching out, negotiating, his pursuit of fairness and equality is very admirable. These are the strongest qualities a president must possess, and a good leader knows who to pick to make sure those ideas and principles are carried out. In that sense, I welcome Biden's washington credentials and his record as a public servant.
Hillary is a formidable person. Her talents would be best utilized in another key role in this administration. She is a lion, and she will continue to fight for the principles that both share, and surely her voice will be heard clearly and stronger than in a McCain government.
People- don't knock Obama for getting the best qualified people to work on his staff! (and not just "buddies" and "yes men") that is a sign of strenght, not insecurity!
am I the only one that reads it like this?

To- wiser-Senator Obama's first decision was his vice president. Senator Obama blew his chance to unify the democrats.Wiser or HATER!!!The true Dems are Unifed .....Wonder if HRC had won the Nomination...Do you THINK Senator Obama would be the VP!! You Don't Know Do You ...HUH! I didn't think so Now Shut The H_LL UP!!

aware!!!! just be aware if Obama doesn't win this election in 08 you better believe Hillary dam show wont' get it in 2012 We OBAMA supporters will make sure of that so vote for McCain in 08 Ms Hillary won't win in 12.

Picking Hillary Clinton as a VP choice will be like Bush picking Dick Cheney. We all know that Mr. Cheney has already served his eight years in the White House and can't run for President any more. Hillary is way too strong and smart to play second fiddle to anyone. On the other hand, I will feel a lot more secure having her pick up the phone at 3 am instead of Obama. And yes, the whole thing about sending the text message out at 3 am to announce his VP choice – that is just low blow. The Obama people need to just get over it. She has already been defeated and you are counting on her help to get her 50% of the votes, the least you can do is not to poke fun at her any more.

I believe Obama made a wise choice in Biden. Joe Biden can say and do things that McCain/Rove/Bush people would have tore her *Hillary) apart if it came out of her mouth...

With all these ads that McCain is putting out to start trouble with the Dems, wish someone would remind him the he, John McCain did not come to her defence when his followers refered to her as the B word... the question asked that lead McCain into laughter "what can we do about the B.....?"

To act as though he respects her now is hypocritical of him and his campagin, but then what's new????

Obama's spokesman said, "We didn't hire him for his stunning good looks. We hired him for his judgment to lead this country"
Now that is a straight forward as well as "nuanced" message.
wouldnt you say that the arrogance is oozing from the Obama camp?' "Hiring" a vice president by the president?
The "nuanced" part is maybe telling Joe Biden to know his place and not to overshadow the superstar?

Hey, Pawlenty you dope with the big ears that make you look like Opie, Bush picked Cheney because Bush had absolutely no foreign policy experience except for one trip outside the country in his whole life. Keep up the spin, Elf.

How STUPID are AMERICANS??????

Now I hear on CNN that people don't know Biden. Are we just a COUNTRY of STUPID ILLITERATES????????? This after the man has been in politics for 36 years. All any MORON has to do is use the internet, buy a book or pay a little interest to the news. IDIOTS.

Then again this is the country that elected an ILLITERATE twice to the White House.

I swear, there are so many dummie in America.

Obama08..Truth. Integrity.One house.

Beginning in the military does not necessarily make you good Presidential material. The "commander-in-chief" role is just a very small part of the job

Go OBAMA AND BIDEN

"public service," think again! It's more like............the "Elitists' fraternity of the self -serving" !

How old is Tim Pawlenty? I have read he is only 36 years old. Is that true?

He may "think" that way, but I know Pawlenty is not ready. Obama and Biden can lead our country in a positive direction away from the Bush doctrine that McCain has unfortunately adopted.

I was highly impressed with Rep. Jackson's CBS interview today. What a sharp congressman. Governors Sebelius and Rendell also made excellent points. Looking forward to the convention!

Obama/Biden '08
i Si se puede !

This Clinton supporter will not be alone in celebrating when Obama loses!

Hillary is the best candidate participating in this election. The democrats blew it again! They selected the far left-wing liberal out of touch with mainstream America!

Now, this campaign is about the divisive, sexist, racist movement inspired by Obama that spawns hate and extreme anger. This is a huge problem for America!

America can't afford an Obama presidency.

Even Bush, and I have not been a "W" fan, is spiraling up, and his legacy in years to come will give him credit for establishing a new Democracy and an ally in the Middle East.

Obama never!

Don't waste your vote! Vote for John McCain 08 and Hillary Clinton 2012!

Obama claim McCain old Washington senator ,but what about Biden? He support war. No HRC No Obama.

Dan, TX ...

Obama's plan is clear on what you get. Visit his website for exact figure.

McCain hasn't answered the question for you but most economists .. based on how much deficit McCain could stand in the budget have said that ... at $150K or less in income ... Senator Obama's plan will put MORE money in your POCKET than McCain's.

The reason? Folks making over $250K will see temporary tax breaks expire. Obama pays for his .... McCain does not.

Get a reality – Obama is not experienced enough to run the country –
PERIOD!!!!!
Joe Biden is a strong poitician with great knowledge. It is unfortunate that he stepped down during the Primary.
And what does it prove for Obama to have a "mentor" – or a CRUTCH!!!

wiser: Why do you keep blind posting the same comments over and over? You said it. It was Obama's decision! And he made the right choice. Hillary was never a viable VP candidate and she knew it. As a matter of fact, so did all of Obama's 18 million and most of Clinton's 18 million. Do you not think that you carry some burden in unifying the party? You are loyal to one candidate, not the party. It shows in your statements. If you want to be a Democrat, act like it and support the candidate that shares 97% of the same policies as Clinton.

BIDEN IS THE BEST CHOICE. HILLARY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED. . .DUE TO THE FACT (SHE SPENT MONEY THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE-HER DEBT). AMERICA CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON, HAVEN'T WE HAD ENOUGH WITH BUSH'S MESS? IT WILL BE MANY YEARS BEFORE OUT BUDGET IS BALANCED, HILLARY WAS A BAD CHOICE! ! !

To Tim Pawlenty:

your friend Bush was ready from birth be president. His dad was Presi

what did he deliver in 8 yrs war war war = no succees

we need new ideas!

You are so wise, wiser!

What do you think he's going to say great choice Obama lol.

Thanks Caroline
You made a wise choice .
You are admired by many / we hope/ know we will see more of you coming up and that gives us HOPE .
You are not alone missing your brother he was so admired and I will miss him always he was another "THE One"

Obama /Biden08/12

We all know that whoever MacWar picks as his VP will be a puppet on a string, MaCDraft only believes in a military command structure , a Master Slave relationship, and with his temper we will have so many wars, as we wait for China and India to take over as economic super-powers. These guys are morons who want to bring the American Empire down, we will not let them, vote for Obama/Biden to save our great empire.

Work it out GOP! This you have to win... No second-guessing.
You have to get it right... Why would you want to be: Second-best? You have to do your 'Home-Work', so you come out the Winner; no matter who is VP. "Some just play the Game"! Other's play ti win!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Senator Obama's first decision was his vice president. Senator Obama blew his chance to unify the democrats.

If he can’t unify his own party, how can he hope to unify the nation?

Senator Obama is not experienced enough nor does he have the requisite judgment to lead this nation.

Democrats for McCain!

Does anyone know how much of a tax cut I'd get over this year under Obama's tax plan or McCain's tax plan. Let's say I make $70,000 a year and my wife makes $40,000 a year. They both say I'll get a tax break, but roughly how much?

Why do you ask Republicans about a Democratic nominee's choice? The media is appearing more and more negative. It is as though you are fueling division in this Country. That is unpatriotic! A nation divided is a nation that can be conquered. More in the MSM should keep this in mind!

Instead of saying you can take Joe Biden, why don't you try and get McBush to HANDLE the REAL & SEVERE ISSUES that affect the average 95% of voters who are struggling day to day.

Such a LAME brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden 08

58% of America are saying no McCain/Bush...and the numbers will rise!!!!

Who, on earth, is Caroline Kennedy to weigh in, anyway? Other than being a socialite, the only thing she's remembered for is riding her pony, Macaroni, around the White House lawn while her father was president. She must have been the mouth piece for the incapacitated Ted, that's all I can figure.

A telling slip of the tongue came from Barack Obama when he introduced his choice of running mate as the next president.

Palwenty is just scared that Bidden will be a pit bull against him if he is chosen as McCain's VP.
