i am free guy maccain just lost my vote today ! i just saw some of his ad that pisset me of i am not a democrat ! maccain was my favor but this is a stupid crazy times in our history ! maccain just playing the same game ! i have no more faith on maccain ! i am honor of his service but no my vote for him !

I hope McBush adds Mittens to the ticket. Then Obama can roll out all the nasty sound clips that Mittens laid on McBush during the primary. Besides nobody will help conservatives run further away from voting for McBush then that would be car salesman Romney on the ticket. And no, Karl Rove game will not work this time around. America is better that.

No How, No Way, No McCain!

PUMA=People Under McBush's Authority

WONDER IF HE IS GOING TO HAVE DADDY YANKEE PERFORM AT THE CONVENTION NEXT WEEK?…..DOUBT IT

Watch him not leak it out at all, this could be just something cause many powerful people spoke tonight.

I hope he picks someone like Libermean…Biden would crush him =]

Who flippin cares? A losing ticket by all accounts. I love the DNC's convention. I promise to vote, support the dems from this day forward

Let's see how many people show up!!!

I think he'll pick Joe Liberman. That will be a big blow to Democrats. He need someone that can help him appeal to the undecided voters. It's clear that McCain want to appeal to every American and they have a plan at least.

Could it still possibly be Mike Huckabee? Hope so.

This is so sad. Didn't McCain's camp learn anything from that awful pea-green speech he gave in that empty lodge hall the same night Obama clinched the nomination? Does he really want to do this? I dont care who McCain's VP pick is, no one will give it even half the amount of airtime that Obama got with his announcement. This will not be good. I dont know why they're trying to compete like this. Should have just done it on Tuesday and try and hog up next week…but nope, envy and jealousy are clouding their reasoning once again. Oh well.

McCain=no future
Obama=future

Was for Hillary - THANK YOU!! America needs you!!

who cares

Who cares? Joe Biden will clean his clock, even Mitt For The Rich Romney!

It doesn't matter who McCain picks , he and the Republicans are toast.

Well I guess McCain has got to try to get in the news somehow. The dems . . . have clearly put McCain on the defensive. Bill Clinton firmly supported Obama highlighting his competency to be the next President and Biden offered a scathing criticism of the failed Bush-McCain policy.

Who is McCain's VP? Romney?
All I now is Republicans will dominate this fall!!!
Just look at the polls…McCain is only down 2 points after the DNC is almost over!!
This is a joke.
People realize they can't trust Obama and the pathetic Democratic party.

McCain'08

Cindy? So we can have a monarchy? We already lost our democracy under the Bush Administration.

McCain must really want to win in November if he cant lay low this week. I hope Obama does the samething to McShame next week.

It is sad McCain ditched his first wife when she needed him the most. Contrast that with Biden!! Shame of conservative, family value McCain. I voted straight Republican last election. Not this time. I will be selective. Republican locally, but Obama at the national. I am an independent/libertarian.

Hillary should be our candidate!!! Did anyone else see that speech??? Bill and Hillary said what they had to say yesterday and today. Bill said what they really believe on Tuesday - we Democrats may not see eye to eye with McCain on EVERY issue, but he is our ideal republican and he can deliver. As a Hillary supporter, I am voting McCain. He's a Maverick who has crossed the aisles to vote with Ted Kennedy before. No wonder Rush Limbaugh hates him.

McCain '08
Hillary '12

Hillary is the best, Bill is a great leader, Obama is a Hillary fan and he will guide us and Mcain A.KA Mcan't is the same OLD politics out with the very old and in with the mighty Democrats!.

I think an excellent choice for John McCain's running mate would be Condoleeza Rice.

If he does NOT choose a pro lifer, Limbaugh slaughters the already bent over and divided party. If he follows Limbaugh's marching orders, how does that sit well with Independents, the image will be that Lamebaw is calling the shots!
——
He can NOT get a bump with his pick, thanks to Lamebow.
——
He could negate the bad press by choosing a woman, pro lifer, that nobody was expecting. Then there would be slight 'buzz'.
— McCain - Limbaugh 2004

Let's see maybe the CEO of EXON……

Rob–thank you–
I was wondering if Christian Evangelicals were paying attention and while I'm not one (practicing Catholic) I've been shocked by the fact that folks who really treasure Christianity and family values and just plain decency haven't been more horrified by mccain's shady background and Obama's more wholesome lifestyle.

Interesting–I appreciate your point of view!

Yes who cares…. there all the same

Let the games begin…Guys this is an election for the Republicans..they fight more…and trust me …with obama flip flopping and twisting his words..he will lose

Mccain will make his important decision and then the games will begin..

Biden will talk too much
Obama will continue to say ahhhh
Mccain will dictate how the election is conducted meaning the issues….

he will win guys

Lieberman would be a disaster, as he was for Gore (though partly for different reasons). Romney would be a plastic bore that Biden would dominate with his authenticity. And Pawlenty is an unknown. No way McCain can match the quality of the Biden pick, just as he has no match for Obama's intelligence, judgment, leadership ability, or sound policy ideas and plans. Go Obama/Biden!

I KNOW WHO HIS PICK IS: IT IS DICK CHANEY!

John McCain't and Mitt WrongMe to follow

I love how all Obama supporters mock the size of McCain's crowd. I didn't know this was a popularity contest. If so, let's run Michael Jackson–he draws larger crowds than Obama so he must be more qualified.

You know, maybe McCain's crowds are smaller at daytime events because his supporters actually have JOBS and don't depend on the government to support them.

No matter how you slice and dice it….. McCain can't pick up any measurable base with any of his inept choices. It's really to bad that McCain perfers craps to blackjack. And that should tell you something.

WELL, I REALLY DON'T CARE WHO HE PICKS, HE COULD CHOOSE WOLF, AND I STILL WILL SAY NO!!! (NO OFFENSE WOLF)

I know I said I was going to vote McCain. I was angry and hurt. I still think Hillary is the best choice but after the speeches I heard tonight, I have to be loyal and true to my heart. It's not worth being selfish and bitter. I will do what has been asked and vote Obama '08.

Pawlenty; you have got to be kidding me.! Let's have some accountability in government. Bridges are falling down and people are dying in Minnesota and no accountability. What a Milk Toast!

If he picks Lieberman, the right wing revolts and he loses. If he picks Romney, the Democrats laugh their heads off about houses, and he loses. If he picks Pawlenty, Biden destroys Pawlenty in the debates, and he loses.

In any case, McCain loses.

Can't you people moderate this any faster? Who's running this thing? John McSame?

yawn..

Aaron Burr?

Are you kidding that CNN is puts republican spin on their political coverage? CNN is the most balanced source out there on cable.

For Dem who want to hide from the truth watch MSNBC. They have anchors who have said on TV that Obama send chills up thier legs. And for the Republicans who want to hide from the truth you have Fox News Channel. They are fair and balance if you are a Republican.

Oh my god! We need people staking out his house, ALL 9 OF THEM!

Not picking Hillary was a "no brainer" according to Guilliani - Obama betrayed ALL women. McCain will pick someone who shares his values - Obama picks someone who can get him elected. No Obama, no way, no how.

WHO CARES! Hes going to lose anyway. It dont matter if he picks jesus christ himself! The redumbicans are toast. Obama/Biden 08

who cares
who cares

we all know It's Mitt Romney
jajjaa
i agree with the person who said
" August 27th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

Grandpa Simpson picks Mr. Burns.:

oh mcbush, mcclinton and mccain all one and the same

YAWN.

Lieberman please - pretty please, with sugar on top?

I'd love the chance to vote against him!

Realistic loved the comment……………..CNN needs to tell Mccain who the V.P. isbefore he forgets like how many homes he has.

Surprise,surprise,its the chairman of Exxon Mobil.

McCain/Satan '08

You know, I bet some Americans would actually vote for that ticket. It really is amazing.

did you mean Limbaugh's pick???

And the world will mumble in unison "Huh? Who cares?"

We have our ticket! Give it a rest republicans …get your stuff together. We are coming for ya! Its a can of whoop arse and we're opening it up on you.

looking forward to finding out who it is-also VERY EXCITED that it'll steal thunder away from "The Messiah"
NO WAY
NO HOW
NOBAMA!!

WHO REALLY CARES AT THIS POINT? WE ALREADY GOT OUR NEXT PRESIDENT AND HIS VICE, OBAMA AND BIDEN! THE JOB IS ALREADY TAKEN MCSAME'S APPLICATION HAS BEEN THROWN OUT AND A REPUBLICAN VICE NEED NOT EVEN APPLY!

McCain will do whatever Karl Rove tells him to do.

Hey, Chuck. Get over it, dude.

Oooh, I can't wait…(yawn).. Since he doesn't know about computers, he'll probably send out information on his choice by mail. I do think it's funny that he is trying hard to get some attention. I wonder where he got the idea to mention he's decided and hold on to it. Hate to ruin your "surprise" but everyone knows it's Mitt Romney.

Maybe it will be a detainee from Guantanamo. After all, according to him, being a POW qualifies you to lead the country.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Who cares… they're all losers.
McCain more if the Same!!

McCain has only had roughly 3,000 people at his largest rally? Are they garnering any support? I wonder if the press corps is a good portion of John McCain's crowd?

Great, a grumpy old guy and a gameshow host…

I wonder if it's Romney? Way to keep us in suspense! I can't wait for the debates…ha!

Go Democrats…

Go Republicans, your exuberance will expose your ignorance, and that will be wonderful!

that's what i like in a leader no lilly washie a round….guess work…play with the media…pop in and out like a celebrity who doesn't work writes book and your paying for it…. DOWN TO BUSINESS WITH MC CAIN PICK A TOUGH ONE……ANYBODY GOT S TO BE BETTER THAN O BAMA….. personally i like ROMNEY'S touhness

Let the games begin…

McCain rocks 08!

Is his VP choice one of the other people from the Keating 5?

SO
ONE VOTE…I am the surge against MCSAME.

It is a winning team as Dems have bad pair. He is the luckiest guy of the century. Good luck him.

NOT THIS TIME, NO MORE BUSH, NO MORE OF THE SAME, DEFINITELY NOT McCAIN!!!!

Who cares, seriously. Same crooked Republican cronies. Maybe his VP choice will be able to remember what day of the week it is. If he picks Romney then they can figure out which of the 17 homes they own between them to vacation at.

who cares? DEMS all the way!

WOW - 15000 people - I can hear the snoring now - it should be overwhelming

Censor this American CNN - we're tired of the censorship. You publish nationwide - we are a free nation.

15k at the rally? Who's trying to play rock star now?

Who cares who he will pick to be in his losing team? Mitt Romney? Duh…….!! Isn't that the guy who criticized McCain in the bitterest terms? Isn't that the guy who holds the record of being the first negative campaigner during the primary season? I am a Mormon and am proud of Romney's achievement. But, the way he ran campaign turned all his reputation to dust, at least for me. No super power can rescue McCain's sinking ship.

ObamaBiden 08.

John MccCain and Bush had a birthday party while katrina vitims were dying.

CNN helicopters roll cameras as katrina victims were begging for help. They left them on the hot roof tops because they were black.

MACCAIN HVE GIVEN THE DEMOCRATES A TOOL TO PREPARE THEMSELVES VERY COME THIS NOV, I HVE CHANGE MY MIND FOR VOTING FOR JOHN MACCAIN. LIKE HILLARY AM FOR OBAMA

I just wonder, how can anyone vote Republican.

With people like Sean Hannity, Karl Rove, and Rush Limbaugh…Yuck. I'm sick to my stomach just thinking about the GOP.

Democrats '08

Nice timing of your press release McCain - trying to upstage Biden! TACKY!

Who cares?

Vote Obama/Biden!

My comment is STILL awaiting moderation…. uhmm… whats going on CNN???

Good for you McCain!!! OBAMA IS STILL GOING TO WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!… THEN HILLARY IN 2012…. THEN ANOTHER DEMOCRAT IN 2016…..

GET THE PICTURE????

DEMOCRATS UNITE 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020…….:-D

Grandpa Simpson picks Mr. Burns.

Exxxxxxxxxxxxxcellent!

I have a feeling it'll be 'slipped' earlier. Like right around Obama's acceptance speech.

And wow, McCain, 15000. That is impressive. For you, I mean. Obama's going to have quadruple that, but, you know, you shouldn't be worried. Not one bit.

Dont matter who it is. More of the Same

I'm pretty sure it's a done deal. It's Mitt Romney. It;s a good choice. He's smart. He's attractive. He's successful and rich. He's conservative. Great. John McCain's first good decision.

Hmmm,
I wonder will Fox News (Karl Rove and co.) actually criticize McCain for announcing his VP pick on a Friday.

For those that don't know, the GOP made a big deal about Obama showing his "inexperience" by announcing his VP pick on a Friday (i.e. the slowest news day of the week).

Bu it seems to me like McCain is following in Obama's footsteps once again.

I hope its Romney.

John McSame Can chose Bux bonney for vip. W've already got the Prez and vip we want: Obama and Biden.

Yawnnnnn……..

"The McCain campaign is hoping to have 15,000 people at the Ohio rally — roughly five times the size of his largest crowd to date."
****************************************************************************
After an easy 75,000 for Barack????
That is so pitiful…you have to feel SORRY for him…

but then you remember Steve Schmidt and Karl Rove and all the nasty mud slinging and remember that a well organized machine is gathering its forces to push another Bushian into office thru smear tactics…
How many yawns do you think we'll tally during the RNC? and yet the race is so close…that's dirty politics and it must STOP! Let's get ANGRY!
Go Democrats–Obama/Biden and Peace '08!

Who cares?

haha 15,000 thats it!!! Obama will have over 80,000 and that isn't even the largest crowd he has drawn!! McSame is such a joke!

Obama Biden 2008

SOMEBODIES FEELING A LITTLE LONELY????????? IT WILL NEVER GET THE BUZZ OBAMA PICK GOT.

I thought you already said that, and I think I already said…"Who Cares"

Don't care. McCain is fading away.

"The matter was settled at a major meeting of McCain's advisers."

For some reason, this seems really strange to me. Obama had his vetting team, but he didn't have to meet with a panel of advisers to make the decision. The McCain people must be terribly afraid of Joe Biden, and no wonder: Biden will tear McCain himself to shreds, not to mention devour whatever running mate McCain chooses in the debate.

Who cares? After the American Convention tonight… the race is over!

OBAMA-BIDEN '08!!!

McCain to hold a rally of 15,000 people.
Oh, I'm so excited (end sarcasm).

HOPING TO HAVE 15,000 PEOPLE?! LMAO…SOMEBODY STOP THIS, AFTER THIS WEEK WITH US DEMOCRATS UNITED, THEY WILL BE LUCKY IF THEY GET 15.

GOODNIGHT JOHN

What about Bobby Jindal?

Ya we knew this last week and you already ran the ticker.

CNN's pushing hard for Repub's

Why do we all the McShame ad's, but we never see the Obama ad's on the ticker?

Hopefully it will be Mitt Romney

Who ever he choose will be no match for the democrats this year.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08&12

Who cares who McCain picks for VP. Come November the GOP ticket will be toast. I can't wait until the first debate. Obama and Biden will eat the Republicans for lunch.

Good for you McCain!!! OBAMA IS STILL GOING TO WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!… THEN HILLARY IN 2012…. THEN ANOTHER DEMOCRAT IN 2016…..

GET THE PICTURE????

DEMOCRATS UNITE 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020…….:-D

Obama better hope that McCain chooses Lieberman.

A more unattractive candidate would be hard to find.

If Obama can't win without the Clinton's, why is HE the nominee?

Oh yeah, Dean, Kennedy, and Peloser picked him!

Yup! Another PUMA!!!

*Hillary you are my Hero .. I'm now listening to you. It doesn't make sense to vote for McCain. No matter how mad & disapointed I am, this election is NOT about my personal feelings. It's time to MOVE ON!

*******************WE Just can't afford it, I can't!!! **********************

Elect a Democrat 08′

McCain/Romney 08!!!!!!

I wonder if his VP will be able to comfort the Christian Evangelicals (like myself) concerned with his abortion record, conflicted conservatism, and the fact that to vote for him feels like an endorsement of adultery?

His whole fortune and political start came from shamefuly leaving his wife.

Some "family values"

He will pick Meg Whitman because he wants to capitalize on something Obama missed- the female VP ticket.

Oh and btw, the announcement will be leaked tommorow night during Obama's speech, of course.

P.U.M.A = PEOPLE UNDER MCCAIN'S AUTHORITY.

Should of picked Hillary… it would be a slam dunk.

McCain '08 for Clinton '12
