Good sign in these bad times.
Dems need all the effort to win this important race and take country forwards.

That is great news. We can't afford 4 more years of McCain and Bush in lipstick overturning women's fundamental right to privacy and turning us back to the dark ages like women in Iran. Thanks, but no thanks.

Why can we not get along.. I hope and pray that Mr Obama will win and the USA will be a better place for all americans….

Mike, I'm a democrat and my comments are always awaiting moderation. Go President Clinton….support our guy and take out those lying Republicans.

There are some stupid people in this country. Those who thought GWB would do great things are one type. Those who believe John McCain doesn't mean more of the same are another such. And then there are those who are willing to allow more years of destruction of our country's economy and its diplomatic standing in the world in order to get their darling a chance to run are even stupider — and more unpatriotic.
One should remind them of who met with and gained support from Rupert Murdock, and later met with the head of that vast right wing conspiracy (Scaife) and joined it to get his support.
Either we get it right this time or there may not be another time.

How on earth can Sarah Palin be seriously considered "ready" to run for VP when she has NO experience with African American or Hispanic issues? I've lived in Palin's hometown of Wasilla for many years; it is a tiny little town with 86% whites and less than 1% African American (actually it's just over ½%). She has NO idea what African American OR Hispanic issuea are. She's lived her whole life in this town and when she was growing up…the African American population of Wasilla was ZERO!! I like Sarah Palin personally, but she is in NO WAY ready to become VP (or may even be thrust into the Presidency).
I cannot believe that she has (so speedily) ditched the people of Alaska. She has not addressed us as a State since she was whisked away by stardom. At the very least, she could send us a video telling us who is "running the store" while she is off climbing the political ladder. I am totally disappointed in her.

The irony here is blinding!!! Me thinks once again the DNC chose the wrong candidate!

Game Is On….you see McCain trying to run his campaign like a hollywood script. This country is in too much shambles to be playing games. I know Obama, Bill and Hillary is going to knock this one down. Three brillian mind meets. Silence speaks volumes…and empty barrels makes the most noise.

On Board with Obama

Hey Mike,

I think Hillary will need some serious plastic surgery and organ replacement for 2102. By the way, there isn't going to be a presidental election that year, anyway.

To Mike:

"OBAMA WILL LOSE
GO HILLARY 2102″

You're wrong Mike. You should have said: OBAMA WILL LOSE. GO HILLARY AND SARAH IN 2012!

You libs have to know that deep down inside the Clintons would love to see Obama defeated. It's their only chance to get back in power. You know its true!

The debates will show who is running the campaign is for real change. McCain keeps talking of change the only change he has done is to adopt his speeches to dound exactly like Obama's.He has no ideas of his own the republicans have no clue what to do with this country except lead us to war.

No Obama will not loose, because McCain and Palin are proved liars
and america and the world can not aford another 4 years of bush policies. Thats why..
Onama /Biden 08

We know where Palin stands on issues: Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Family, and Smaller Government. Sounds like the ticket to me. McCAIN/PALIN '08!!!

Why is Palin campaigning with the President nominee? Is she ready to lead this campaign on her own. Why haven't she talked to the press after getting nominated? Do she have a good speech to talk about, because every since the Convention she has been saying the same more lines alone with John Mccain. Just because she's a woman don't mean that they would get the women votes. Where are the issues? Why would Mccain go and pick someone for VP pick ,when she has a lot of problems herself and lying to the public just to win the White House. Furthermore, if John Mccain is talking about changing the White House, Why did it take him 26yrs to be ready to make that change.

Where is the "changes" Mr Obama. Now you need The Clintons……..more the "same"

I don't know Mike… if you want Hillary winning in 2102, we're definately going to need stem cell research, so Palin's got to be out of the picture.

GO HILLARY 2102??? What are you shooting up tonight?

Its a sign of wisdom and humility for Obama to draw upon the experience of someone who did so much good for his country.

Senator Obama, Senator Clinton and President Clinton are smart and savvy people. The ability to unit is a genuine step of many to come and full credit goes to all of them. Senator Obama will be President because the American people want a true leader with the ability to bring us together as shown with the Obama/Clinton team.

Too bad the Democrats decided to go with Obama, I'm now a Republican. GO McCain/Palin!

Panic is setting in… Going to talk about serious "change". Change as in having Biden come up with some health concern that will make him unable to serve… Thus putting Hillary on the ticket. Trust me this will happen should McCain/Palin start to extend their lead. GO McCAIN/PALIN '08!!!

mike September 7th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

OBAMA WILL LOSE

GO HILLARY 2102

I am not sure if she has such a huge life span. she is already 60. you are talking about she being 150+

GO OBAMA GO READY TO BEE COMMAND AND CHIEF FOR THIS NATION

America PLEASE PLEASE wake up before it is too late. OBAMA/BIDEN is our only hope

Think …….. McCain =Bush & Palin = Cheney which is beyond scary

Another 4 years of this & America will be reduced to a second rate country!

we love you Bill.

"GO HILLARY 2102″ ?????

Uh… you need to check the math and learn to type.

It's amazing how those who are for Obama trashed the Clintons and those who supported them during the Primaries (just check any message board you like), and now they want their support back. It will be interesting to see if people can and will be used in this fashion.

I won't.

Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman VP and was a democrat. You people get inform before who say such thing that this is the greatest history for women since suffrage. No it isn't; I wonder if geraldine ferraro nomination as first woman VP in the history of US was not matter. People are very inform and saying such things makes people want to laugh at your one sided republican guts. Geraldine ferraro first woman nominate VP, Hillary Clinton first woman to run for the presidency as a front runner for quite a long time and these folks are Democrats. No way, no how, No mcCain son of George Bush.
We were waiting for a savior to save our country we found Bush as Americans personal savior. Now Bush as a god that kill and distroy economy will send McCain his son to finish the job. No way, No how, No McCain.

It is because of you anti-Hillary people that Obama wouldn't choose Hillary either though she was the best choice and because of your narcissism the DEMs are going to lose.

This morning on Meet The Press, Biden said they will campaign all together. I think this is great and a very smart move. Bravo, for settling your differences and putting this Country First!

WAKE UP AMERICA
This is the most important election of our lives. We have had 8 years of misery and disaster after disaster. We are the laughing stock of the world. It is not about Obama, or Hilary or McCain or Palin. It is about what we want and what we are paying taxes for. What we fought for. Do not fall for the the distraction of Palin. Republicans have done nothing for the American people as a whole. They only helped those that are like them. Wealthy. Obama is the best candidate. I remember in 1992 a govenor from Arkansas was told that he didn't have experience he won anyway. And became a great President. We had jobs and the country was not in debt or hated. Senator Obama stand your ground and run your game plan. Bush/Cheney pretty much killed it for the Republicans for a while. Those have dranked the McCain/Palin kool aid I am not all you to take me off the cliff to ruin. GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08

To nana: The election WAS Obama's to take, but of coarse it is like a man to be bitter when a woman shows him up like hillary did. Not choosing her as vp was the worst single mistake he made in this campaign. He left the door wide open for mccain to take the lead, and he did. the polls prove it.

The new USA Today Gallup poll shows McCain up +10, 54 - 44 over Obama.
I have every confidence this election is over. The Liberman and McCain speechs locked up the majority of the independents, this was what they were waiting to hear from McCain.
Palin has lit a fire in the Republican base that can not be extinguished . And will draw in votes from outside the party base that McCain may have not attracted.
This is the CHANGE the majority of the American people have been waiting for. Change that will break the gridlock in Washington and turn Washington back to working for the people and solve our problems.
Obama's change is just to move from the old establishment of the Republican party to the old establishment of the Democrat party. Partisain politics would have been alive and well under Obama, more party self serving gridlock.

Good maybe well get off the topic of this Palin show. I am soo sick of hearing about her. I go shopping, shes on all the covers of the mags. I hope they sick the Clintons on them.. I am sick of it. I want someone smart in the whitehouse. We' ve had lets sit and have a beer pres,, it didn't work people.. I am an (I) and I am not voting for a tabs queen and old man river to run my country… Ask your self would you want Lynn Spears running your country??? The "right wing" was all over what a bad mother Lynn Spears is. So why is this ok???
So, I ask the Dems to send in there sisterhood of the traveling pants and her pitt bull husband to sell this deal…..
Obama Biden 08

I remember a few months ago the best "political team" on television (Gloria, Jeff, Rolin, Jack , Donna and the rest) saying Obama does not need the Cintons , time to acknowledge you were wrong! thanks queen Palozi e King Reid for more 4 years of Republicans in power.

I thought he did not need the help of the Clintons to win the election? Am sure he is regretting not picking Hillary. Obama is now running to the Clintons to rescue him but I believe it is too late now. The harm is done and nothing and no one can help Barrack Obama at this point. He reached his peak at the DNC Convention and McCain and Sara Palin has taken over and there is no return for Obama.

Good Bye Barrack. See you at McCain Palin Swearing In oops! Obama is going to be missing in action at the inaugural ceremony.

Thank God for Sara Palin.

More people watched Gov. Sarah Palin's speech than obama's. and McCain is now leading over obama. HA-HA! The clintons ae only making nice for appearances. Bill is a super delegate and has obligation to the party. All the loosers who talked bad about sarah Palin must feel pretty crunchy right about now. can she be mommy and vp all at the same time?OH YES SHE CAN!! How many times must obama be busted in a lie before the obama freaks realize what he really stands for? I am a democrat proudly voting for john McCain and Sarah palin. Some thing really smells fishy about this obama and i like my paycheck! McCain/Palin '08

drill baby drill=palin's plan for energy and family planning.

i am a life long democrat my problems with obama are drugs use also his chicago problems his no votes on importan bills
i will for frist vote republican ticket js

The Clintons owe Obama nothing.

OBAMA WILL NOT LOSE!

People are smarter than what republicans are taking us for.

McBush and Palincheney are wanting and will only go so far.

The life of Christ was an immaculate conception, so we, as mere mortals, don't know when life begins. You evangelicals don't know either. YOU are ordinary sinners, so you are not better than the rest of us Christians, Also, what about when the child is born? Or do you really think you have a pipeline to God. You are ORDINARY Christens like the rest of us! Get over yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CNN please post this. These people need a wake up call.

YES WE CAN HILLARY 2012.

Isn't interesting how Obama is always unknown? It only took Sarah Palin a couple days to get known. But put a black man in a suit, and the majority of white American conservatives will treat him as an unknown.
I feel like I am living in the 1950s rather than in the 21st century many years after desgregation.

I LOVE THE CLINTONS!!! I WILL VOTE MCCAIN!! I JUST DON'T TRUST OBAMA!

Clinton 2012

No one ever lost an election underestimating the stupidity of the voters.

Republicans have a mighty infrastructure, from the Wall Street Journal, to all their talk radio surrogates, they get their twisted talking points out on a daily basis.

The fact that McCain is even in the race at this point is a clear indication of how poorly educated the average American is.

Clinton knows how to beat the repubs at their own game. Hopefully he'll have some good advice for Obama.

What will they have for lunch?

I got moderated too!!! What a freedom of speech??? What's the ideas of liberals or democrates. CNN anchors hide their true color very well, but I did not believe they can go so low!!! If I Don't see my post, I will protest CNN!!!

John Smith — you've got a screw loose!

Mr John smith doesnt remember that WWII was ended by a democrat, nor does he remember that a republican caused the Great Depression, he also forgot about John F Kennedy standing up to the russians in the cuba missile crisis. How funny he forgets these things or even worse, he chooses to ignore it. I wonder if he works for a company where he can be wrong 95% of the time and still be able to keep his job. Obviously he likes paying for 4.00 a gallon gas, which was caused by the relaxation of policies sponsored and supported by Bush / McCain. Its also funny that he has NO problem with spending 10 billion a month on a war that cannot be won but will allow people on his own soil to starve and go homeless. SHAME ON YOU JOHN SMITH!!!

I love that Godfather-esque picture of the three of them. Here stands the core of the political left: the Don, Sonny, and Michael. That's powerful photography.

I think the Clintons and Obamas will probably end up very good friends now that the tension of competition is over. They share so much in common. They are all brilliant and all want the best for our country and share similiar ideas on how to acheive it. People do move on.

Too bad, Obama needsClinton to beat Mccain VP Sarah Palin!!! And too bad, Hillary is a now in no win deal!! If she supports Obama, he will drop her off as he already did any way once he thinks he gets the momentum! Notethat he is very suspicious about Clintons any way. On the other hand fighting with Sarah Palin is hard and the chance for to win is slim. So she may look foolish and loose her political standing!!! The only good thing for Hillary to do is to stay out of the way, half democrates will blame her and half will subconciously support for her.

Good to hear. The Clintons in particular should be upset with McCain's game playing. His selection of Palin is an insult to Hillary and to all progressive women.

Palin's little coming out interview will be with Charles Gibson. How exciting.

McCain's people are afraid to let her be interviewed by an aggressive journalist. She is a lightweight and totally unprepared for prime time. But then I guess she "looks like" change. Then again, anyone would look like change standing next to McCain.

I hope America understands the danger 4 more years of republican control will pose. Electing McCain-Palin will be the beginning of the end.

Now he begs the Clinton's for help.
Obama to Clinton
(on his knees begging) - Please forgive me Mr. Clinton I need your help, forgive me.. (crying out loud)

Now we'll see "REAL" pit bulls.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08 . . . THE LOGICAL CHOICE!!!

Why do the Democrats like to play nice and fair. All is fair in love and war. Please go after the Reps and Mcpalin. You Democrats have got to start playing hard ball.

The Clintons campaigning with Obama is a powerful force. What about Palin's millions of earmarks she requested as a mayor? Will McCain mention her name as well?

Welcome aboard it is ever more important that it become an all hands on deck campaign. Failure is not an option and the stakes are way too high. Our great nation cannot afford to give the same folks who have done us so much harm another four years. America needs to vote its hope and not their fears most of which are manufactured by the lie until you make it duo of Karl Rove and Steve Shmidt. Same speech writers and same smear tactics. They will distract us as much as possible because they are dead wrong on all the major issues facing our land. Best example is Caribou Barbu palin who is head faking our land with lies and they keep her in a cocoon while they try and give her a basic how the world works education. No Way No How No Mc Same! YES WE CAN CHANE IS OUR AMERICA DONT LET THE REPUBLICANS STEAL THE TRUTH!

A mayor or governor is "sort of like" a senator - - except that senators deal with issues that affect the entire NATION and America's foreign relationship with COUNTRIES around the WORLD !

To Minnesota Peggy………..you're so out of touch, yourself, that you really are just 'quoting verbatim exactly the trite expressions that you've seen others write or heard from the Media.' I daresay that you are either qualified or in a position to name one single example of what President Bush has done through Executive Order that Senator McCain has mimicked. You're so caught up in the 'Hate Bush Campaign ' started by the Democratic Party 8 years ago and the Michael Moore fanatics because of Bush's Election Win over Gore, that you're Sad and pitiful. President Bush will be remembered in American History as being the Outstanding President of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Great Men do not bask in fantastically high poll percentages, but in low ones, for these greatest men are continually the ones who live with controversy. Of course, your precious Media won't tell you that fact, for you only learn the 'real stuff' in school and with an education. Senator McCain and Governor Palin are head and shoulders better thant Obama/Biden and will prove it so, when the GOP wins this Election. Not everyone sticks his/her head in the sand; usually, most persons interested in their country's future will read and learn the issues and determine 'Who is More Qualified.' Bet you cannot even relate how Obama cast Votes in the Senate. If you know and still want to support this unqualified and inexperienced man who knows nothing of our Government, then just go back to sticking YOUR head in the sand and remain uninformed. However, the right man and right woman for the jobs are on the GOP Ticket, like it or not. Their qualifications and experience stand for each and are impeccable and outstanding.

It's a good sign. I think if Obama get elected and Hillary helpe him in this process, there would be an effective position for hillary in Obama administration. I can't get it why people want to tolerate Republicans for another 4 years after all the mess they created in this country.

No. America will lose if Obama does not win. Rememer. people, IT ABOUT THE ISSUES. not Obama or McCain. The Republicans have made a mess in America. If you are happy with this mess, then vote McCaine/Palin. If you you love America, vote Obama/Biden.

May be he is negotiating replacing Biden with Hillary !!!

ONE AMONG THE GREATEST LEADERS OF OUT TIME,YOUR TIME WAS LOVE,PEACE AND PROSPERITY.GOOD TO HEAR ABOUT YOU AGAIN AS THE WORLD WATCH FROM A DISTANCE

a large percentage of americans never served in the armed forces, that includes half the senate, since when is it a prereq. for anyone to hold office, just because mc cain served doesnt ma ke him a viable candidate..

Look at their faces-
Clinton is the real sad one
Obama is looking like he really didn't want to be there

did you know that neither the Republican party nor Democratic Party are mentioned in the U.S. Constitution……….but a Free Press is specifically called out as necessary to the working of our democracy…..

Wow these party's want us to think they care!

Remember, the system aint nearly as broken, as those corrupt politicians who want to blame it for failing you…..

All crisis can be traced back to incompetence, complacency, and greed

"The truth shall set you free"

Set the precedent with Bush/Cheney for presidents to come,lie to us, break laws, create a war….. and you will be punished to the fullest extent…..never ever again

Yes we can. I always know the clinton family is true democrat, they will conjugue their efforts to make sure someone who really can change the current situation of the country. It is clear we can't take another four years of Bush/Mccan… keep up the good work! Let's do everything we can to elect Obama. The country can't afford neither Bush/MCcan. When it comes to Palin, Hillary let's take care of business, don't allow someone coming from no where steal your supporters,,,,

When Hillary and Obama had their secret meeting a couple of months ago, she knew then what her role in his Cabinet will be. Yes she will be in a powerful role over healthcare and education as well, and more. She may not be the funeral going VP that Palin would be (and won't get the chance to be), but Hillary will be a more powerful person in the Obama Cabinet and using her networking role as a Senator for these past years. Elect the Democrats so all of our community organizers and workers along with Hillary can get to work strategically for all women and children, and needy families and communities. Something the republicans have no intention of doing.
I hope this gets posted and not just moderated.

Don't count the chicken before they hatch . The dream ticket is Obama and Biden. This what we want change . The country dosen't need four more years of broken promise. We need help now with healthcare, employment, econmy. As is now the richer get richer and the poorer gets poorer.

if you want change then vote Obama and Biden. They will make change.
I beleive everything that Obama saids he will change the country. I have childern and unemploy. I have a college education and even went back to get more education .

PLease Vote !!!!!!

OH, so it's not ok for the former Gov of New york to make fun of Obama for community org but they meaning Democrats can refer compare Obama to Jesus. Well where do they get away with that and you even show the T-shirt on you show and you show it off with pride. So, now Obama is like the son of God right because the Democrats say so.

Um wow- I thought the angry liberal bloggers said it was Clinton who was racist- why would they have lunch together then?

I really was doubting McCain before- and Obama almost got me with the more of the same junk
then I went into McCain's record and saw that this is the change we need
someone who reaches across party lines

Im happy to be a Democrat who has never vote Republican until now.

I thought it was already said that Hillary would be in the cabinet or on the Supreme Court.

First let me start off by say that if America votes in McCain/Palin as the leaders of this country we all should be ashamed. Second, reading some of the other comments to this article that ensure that we do have some ignorrant people in America and closed minded, self destructive people in the Democratic party. John Smith, who added his comments above, sounds like the true Republican. John, I am serving my country in the military and am a Democrat. I know that I could defend this country better then 9/10's of the Republican base. I also fight for everyone in this country, not just for the rich. To Lisa B and Mike, you need to understand that while Sen. Clinton received 17 million votes, Sen. Obama also received 17 million votes and won the right to fight for the White House. Now I have heard way too many times about the Clinton supporters and what, when, and how Sen. Obama need to do to win them over. So here is what I have to say to you all. If you choose not to vote for Obama, then you will vote republican and all those issue that you supposedly care about will be deferred until 2012 as Mike put it. That means Sen.Clinton will have to court those Obama supporters who are having so much trouble getting help from those Clinton supporters. They may remember how Obama was treated by those so called Clinton/ McCain supporters. So lets put our heads together and get the self-serving Republicans out of the White House and get this country back on track.

Palin is a joke.
The other candidates have been torn apart for the past 18 months and yet Palin is hidden from the public and the press. She will be on the ballot and we don't have access to her possitions on isues that have been front and centre from the start.
Clinton's are there and we will see them distroy John Boy and his playmate

one has to consider that leadership is for the person who can perform the best, what is in our nations best interest, regardless of what party he or she represents, there has to be a certain level of respect for both candidates. both sides have achieved greatness in their own right and deserve repsect whether we agree with their policies or not..

They can eat dinner and have a jama party for all I care. It still will not change Obama's indoctrination and his ultimate agenda. Anything coming out of it will be window dressing for unity.

I agree with mike. Why is it when a Democrat all their life doesn't want Obama it is labeled as racist, or 'really a Republican' as 'already healed' thinks? There are those of us for Country First. We saw what Party first got us the last 8 years under Bush.

Obama is so much like Bush it is disturbing. Same smirk, same swagger, same my way or the highway mentality. And his blog robots are vile. They must be getting paid pretty good to stay on line 24/7.

Isn't Hillary being paid by the citizens of NYS to be a NY State Senator? Why is she campaigning in Florida for Obama on the public tax roles? This has always amazed me that the tax payers of NY aren't outraged by this fact. And she has the nerve to say that the economy is Bush's fault but yet she is not present in NY creating jobs instead she is using our tax money for one parties purposes. HEY HILLARY, GET BACK TO WORK.

Maybe Palin can stop in and serve a moose burger. This election has turned into a true soap opera. If the old man and huntress win, I'll definitely move out of the country.

It's funny how Bush wasn't at the convention in person to speak, but had time to appear with smiles in a ad with the twins, it proves that McCain SAID he votes WITH Bush 90% of the time.

Didn't two experienced republican politicians say that they didn't think this TRICK was going to work for McCain?…..YES

CNN…….TRUTH, was stated by two woman that are Republicans, I don‘t think this trick is going to work. Guess they didn’t figure that he WILL fool some fools

McCain = Bush another 4 years…………

Why do we incessantly try to make more of this than is really there? These are grown-ups people. They all respect each other. They all agree on the things most important in our lives. They all fight hard for what they want.

We the public are the sore winners or sore losers. It's the silliness of us as supporters that perpetuates this mess. They are moving on with life. The real question is why can't we?

I can't remember a time when a candidate made any cabinet position promises before the election but to those who supported Hillary you can likely presume Secretary of State will be offered. Health and Human Services will be likely if not State. I wish Obama would announce a list of potential cabinet posts so we know what an excellent pool of choices we can expect. McCain says he will have Democrat(s) if elected. Right! Has anyone told the old senile war monger that Lieberman is not a Democrat anymore (and good riddance). The Palin bounce will fall very soon once people see what a nasty animal hides behind that superficial lipstick. What an insult to Pitbulls, far more civilized critters.

The Clinton's influence will definitely help Obama.

NO WAY! NO HOW! NO MCCAIN/PALIN!

Bottom Line : McPalin will loose
OBAMA / BIDEN (2008 -16)

Obama/Biden '08

maybe Obama might make hillary his secreatary of state?
it could work…

either way, mccain/palin dont stand a chance

To a previous poster, Hillary will be dead in 2102 - we all will. Enjoyed the typo.

With Palin on the scene, the democrats are getting nervous. Obama and the Clintons believe that "making up" may be their only chance of winning the election. The noise level is very high out there among liberals and the media - it's obvious they are very concerned about this election.

This country will ultimately elect McCain and Palin.

There is a cry in this land. It is a cry of 40 million who do not have health care. It is a cry of hundreds of thousands who have lost jobs, their jobs have been shipped to overseases. It is the cry of many who cannot afford the college fees for their kids. It is the cry of millions who have to work doubles and tripples to make ends meet. It is a cry of millions who have lost their homes. The cry of millions who have to dig soo deep in their pockets to fuel thei cars. It is the cry of veterans coming from Iraq wounded to wait for months for health care. The list is endless and all a mess of Macbush. This country is in a real crisis. That is why we need change, and need it now.

All those millions who are hurting, come on now and vote Obama-Biden. They have a plan for you. Republicans have a plan for themselves but not you. They will never tell you but if they take White house that is the time when you will understand it. But it will be too late.That is why they are saying this is not a campaign for issues.

No Way No How No Mac-Bush-Pain.
Obama-Biden.!!!!!

I sincerely believe that McCain -Palin is not what our country needs . In the first place, Palin is not qualified to step into the presidency if the need arose. With McCain being 72 years old, (76 before a term is over), and a survivor of 4 occurances of cancer, do we really need to take that chance?
I also believe that Barack Obama is smart enough to offer Hillary a position in his cabinet or appoint her to the Supreme Court. Bill Clinton will also be a valuable advisor to him.
American`s better wake up and consider this election prayerfully and carefully.

The sad thing is there are people who just want Obama to fail because they cant believe he is genuine. He is criticized because he is smart and well educated. Some people are taught that if a guy like Obama is successful it is because he took an opportunity from someone more deserving…someone white.

Obamba is a nobody with no experience (except as a 'community organizer' (LOL!) and Biden is a big mouth doof … together they equal the losing ticket! Go REPS!!

if there's a woman who should make history, it's the one who earned 18 million votes : Hillary Clinton !!
we have to fight hard, so that Sarah Palin won't steal the spot from Hillary ! To do so, we have so prevent Sarah Palin from being elected this year ! Because, if Sarah Palin get elected, she'll be in the white house as VP and have enough experience to beat Hillary in 2012 !!
McCain and Obama only have 4 years !
If Obama wins in 2008,( and he will) , Hillary bill be our candidate in 2012 !
but if McCain wins ( which is impossible), Sarah Palin will have an easy task in 2012 against Hillary !
Let's all prevent Sarah from making history..that's not her fight..! Hillary is the one who started it !

Obama has done nothing with his time in government. He can write two books about himself but not create one single law. Paper thin experience no thanks,

Obama, i pray everyday taht you will win and get these republicans of the Whitehouse. How many times has McCain mentioned fight and war in the RNC acceptance speech. McCain just does not get it,
Obama 08′

too soon to draw conclusions..no one knows for sure what will happen when either candidate gets into office, if history taught us anything is what the candidates promise and what they will deliver often delivers disappointment.
so lets the candidates do their thing and lets forego the derogatory comments..

Mike be careful, they will tell you that you an angry white woman who supported Hillary! lolol

LOL……. look at Obamabots' comments on this page!!!!!!
they realise how inexperienced and naive Obama is and how badly they need the formerly demonized Clintons.

Obamabots are dumb hypocrites as usual.

No Lisa B. Obama has extended and extended enough already. I was not crazy about the HRC campaign, but ultimately would not have minded seeing her on the ticket. But this perception that she needs to be constantly soothed, stroked and coddled is a bit much. HRC probably doesn't even expect it anymore. I think had her supporters not tried to play hardball (voteforboth, PUMA) and tried to strong arm Obama into selecting her, he might have felt that her presence would not be a constant distraction.

The primary has been over for months now and we still have people hollering about how they will punish the party b/c HRC is not on the ticket. Believe me, Hillary's not done yet and her day will come, in the meantime both Clintons offer good stuff and they should not hold out.

I will never be healed until Obama and his campaign goes down in smoke in November. Than, if the Dems come to their senses, I will be back to vote again. If not, I will press the GOP button for a long, long time. I am so done with this nonsense!

Poor Nobama, he's desperate now! McCain is leading nationally with only 2 months until election day. That's what he gets for picking Biden over Hillary

don't do it Bill or Hillary, he is using you.

The difference between Sen Clinton and Gov Palin? Last I checked Senator Clinton was not running for either President or Vice President. Perhaps this confusion is the problem.

I also think Obama followers dont get it. Gov Palin is not interested in attracting Clinton supporters. Just the rest of the voters out there.

Good move for the democratic party. This is a battle that the democratic party must win or else our country is going to be in a much worst shape than it is now. Senator Obama will be the next president of the US and there is nothing that can stop what God has put His hand on. Keep the faith Senator Obama and stay in touch with the Father. Republicans have been in power too long. Thank God for you and may He place a hedge around you. We love the work you are doing to make this US a country of one people, not a group of red states or blue states. If we are one nation under God, it is time to unite republicans, democrats, independents, and conservatives as one.

No, I am not supporting McCain out of spite or revenge. I was a Democrat my entire life and so was my husband and it was bad enough when the right wing of the Dems attacked the Clintons a few years back but when the left wing did it too, with none other than Obama leading the charge, that is when I decided that the Dems needed to be taught a lesson. So, the best way to teach a politician a lesson is by NOT electing them to public office. This is our goal and we are also please with John McCain being the candidate because he has always struck out on his own even if he was popular in doing so. Perhaps the Dems can learn something from him?

President Clinton will have to have nausea medicine before he can
campaign for Obama.

I'm sorry above I said man can control I ment can not control what moral decisions man makes.

MCcain/Palin 08…. they truely are the best ticket you watch

some of hilliary supporters will not listen to her because they
believe she shouldu be the nominee in the first place.
Obama even did not include her in VP selection.Thats disgusting
the Clintons should stop supporting him.

Too sad democrats are divided.And her supporters will rather
support Sarah,THE HOCKEY MOM.

Palin Power 2008

I am prolife, however, I also believe that man republican or democrate can control what moral decisions people make. Even God gives all man free will to decide to do right or wrong. It's not up to us. I think religion should be left out of politics. I understand trying to make things right, but we can only answer for ourselves. God will deal with the rest.

Well now that Obama is trailing in the Gallup poll by 3 points. all of a sudden he needs the Clintons. I hope the Clintons dump him after he dumped on Hillary by not picking her for VP.

Picking Biden was a horrible mistake and now Obama is stuck. Sarah Palin has turned the election upside down and Obama has no one to counteract her. But, it's his own fault. With that kind of decision making, we really don't need him in the White House.

McCain/Palin 08′

Sarah Palin 12 & 16′

CNN gets the facts wrong again. Clinton did NOT make the motion for B Hussein's nomination. She was the representative for the NY delegates who moved to suspend the rules and nominate by acclimation. The motion was already made by Bela Pelosi and several states had announced their delegate choices. It was NY's turn when Clinton spoke.

To Mike: You are right Obama will not win. But I don't think Billary will be alive in 2102.

BILL AND HILLARY YOU DONT OWE THIS MAN OBAMA NADA

HE DIDNT EVEN VET HILLARY FOR VP

HIS EGO HAS TAKEN OVER SINCE DAY 1…OBAMA COULD HAVE

WAITED TO RUN FOR PRES. WHEN HE HAD MORE EXP. BUT NO

OBAMA AND DNC RUINED CHANCES FOR HILLARY BY ALLOWING

THE INEXPERIENCED OBAMA RUN TOO SOON…AND NOW HE AND

WE THE DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE TO OBAMA EGO

President and Senator Clinton will not be able to turn the tide that Senator Obama with his DNC buddies have put into motion. His choice for VP is a DC insider - thru and thru. What change is that?

The Democrats and all their sleezy manipulation of the nomination process, deceitfulness, race baiting, falsely accusing President Clinton of being a racist, Donna Brazile and her cheating DNC Rules Commitee and on and on and on. Oh the drama of it all………18 million voted for the 'other' candidate - the one who would have won slam dunk. Now the great wise - ya know - the guy with such good judgment can't close the deal. This is the same fella who voted that a baby born alive from a botched abortion should be left to die. Senator Obama cannot carry the Democratic Party and he cannot close the deal. This was always known but for the Dean, Reid, Pelosi, Kerry, Brazile and of course, Obama himself.

Oh well, their stupidity will be the Republicans in the White House for four more years!!!!

The difference between Hillary and Sarah is Hillary wants European Socialism in America and Sarah wants Capitalism/Self Responsibility that we were founded on.

Obama will cozy up with any snake just to feed his ego. Hanging out with the Clintons will cost him in November.

Obama has done nothing with his time in government. He can write two books about himself but not create one single law. Talk about the Audacity of Ego. Paper thin experience no thanks,

Forget it! I don't care how the Clintons support Obama and speak on his behalf that little elitist, sexist pig will NEVER get my vote!! NEVER!!!!!

That's good. This election is getting boring nobody can ask sarah palin anything because its sexist. Therefore nobody talks about the issues. Mccain contradicts himself nobody points it out. Mccain lies about Obama increasing taxes nobody points out. Mccain has filp flop nobody points it out. Mccain makes gaffes nobody points it out. Palin has asked for the most earmarks per resident of any state something Mccain has said over and over again he is against nobody points it out. Palin was FOR the bridge to nowhere until it became unpopular therefore said thanks and than no thanks later on nobody points it out. Nobody points out anything therefore the same stories get repeated about 100 times. Please post this CNN and will someone start reporting.

I'm glad to read this… I think Bill and Hillary will be of great help to Obama and Biden– NO DOUBT.

McWar and his sidekick-distraction-Without-Substance HAS GOT NOTHING ON US, THE US OF A THAT IS MOVING AWAY FROM TIRANNY AND IMPERIALISM!

Go Dems!!!

So now clintons are not billary anymore? What a shame for Obamas.

BEFORE PALIN CRITICIZES ANYONE ELSE, GET HER OWN STORIES STRAIGHT.

MCCAIN AND PALIN

PICK OF PALIN IS AN INSULT !!! AND PALIN LIED
AND YOU ARE NOT HILLARY !!!

Palin learns from the best. In her first speech she said she
fought against the good old boys and adamantly opposed
the Bridge to Nowhere, so why in 2006 did she sit next
to the good old boy and support the Bridge to Nowhere.
Now she is running with the Good Old Boy who voted
over 90% with Bush. I am a woman and Barack Obama
represents change for America and change for Americans.
Ms. Palin, please check what you did and said before you
say it on TV. Was that someone who looked liked you in
2006 who was sitting next to the Good Old Boy supporting
the Bridge to Nowhere ??? McCain’s pick is like
McCain. The Same thing. Lie to People. Hope we don’t
notice. Hope we are not smart enough to check !!!

I'm with John Smith on this one.

This is good. This is good. Clinton is capable of being the best advisor Obama could have if they are able to forge an alliance. It would be great for the party and the country if these two lions could work together for the common good.

I think that more of Obama supporters should reach out to Hillary support; it should not just be an olive branch from Hillary supporters to Obama.

McCain’s VP Choice Is Under Ethics Investigation For Abuse Of Power In Alaska»
Palin’s reformer image took a hit last month when she was accused of attempting to get a state trooper fired. That state trooper was her former brother-in-law who had gone through “a messy divorce” with her sister. After the trooper’s boss wouldn’t act on the governor’s request, she fired him. Though Palin says she doesn’t “have anything to hide” and she “didn’t do anything wrong there,” an investigation has found that one of her aides pushed the firing:
Gov. Sarah Palin on Wednesday revealed an audio recording that shows an aide pressuring the Public Safety Department to fire a state trooper embroiled in a custody battle with her sister.
Palin, who has previously said her administration didn’t exert pressure to get rid of trooper Mike Wooten, also disclosed that members of her staff had made about two dozen contacts with public safety officials about the trooper.
Palin’s scandal envelops her in the constellation of scandal-plagued lawmakers currently serving in Alaska. Here’s a brief overview:
Sen. Ted Stevens: Last month, long-serving Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was indicted by a federal grand jury “with seven counts of making false statements for failing to disclose” gifts of over $250,000 from the oil services company VECO Corp.
Senate President Lyda Green.

i am a dem. that won't vote for obama. i thought about voting rep. but decided like alot of other voters to just write in hillary on the ballot so that is what i'm going to do, don't make to much of this meeting as it won't help obama come election time the party is not healed and won't be until the wrong done her is corrected.

If you want affordable health care that has quality with it do not go to Universal/Socialized Healthcare. In 1985 when I lived in Sartoga NY the local news made the mistake of reporting that 1/3 of your medical bill was to protect the doctors, nurses, paramedics, and hospitals form the ambulance chasing lawyers. I would rather see rich doctors and lawyers/malpractice insurance sales persons unemployed. We need "Tort Reform" to cut medical cost down.

IT IS EASY TO MATCH OBAMA 38 MILLION VIEWERS WHEN YOU LIE
AND YOU GIVE US NO CHOICE BECAUSE ON NBC, ABC, CBS AND FOX, IN ADDITION TO MSNBC, CSPAN, YOU TELEVISE THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION LIVE, HOWEVER, DURING THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION ABC, CBS, FOX AND NBC DID NOT TELEVISE THE CONVENTION LIVE, BUT HAD REGULAR PROGRAMMING. I LOOKED FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION ON EACH CHANNEL. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO WATCH IT ON MSNBC AND CSPAN. MANIPULATION OF PEOPLE IS HOW
THE BUSH/MCCAIN AND NOW PALIN ERA HAD THRIVED AND DROVE AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DOWN AND IN FEAR. WE HAVE TO FIGHT AND FIGHT HARD. WE ARE NOT STEPFORD AMERICANS.

YOU REPUBLICANS ARE FORCING PALIN DOWN OUR THROATS, A PERSON WHO IS UNDER AN ETHICS INVESTIGATION FOR ABUSE OF POWER AS SOME SUPERSTAR??? A DAY AFTER REPUBLICANS VISIT TO ALASKA 7 WITNESSES CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND BRISTOL’S BABY’S DADDY IS NOW HER NEW FIANCE WITHOUT A RING AND THEY ARE NOW THE BEAVER CLEAVER FAMILY AND NEW STARS WHEN NO ONE HEARD OF HER 2 WEEKS AGO, AND NOW THEY ARE GOING TO PUT HER IN HIDING WHILE THEY PROGRAM HER??? YEAH, SHE IS SOMETHING ALRIGHT, BUT NOT SOMETHING WE WANT.

SHE IS NO STAR. SHE IS NOT PREPARED TO LEAD. SHE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND THAT’S THE BEST PERSON YOU GOT. CORRUPTION IS ALL IN THIS NOMINATION AND COVER UP AND AMERICA IS NOT STUPID. SHE IS NOT THE WOMAN FOR THE JOB. COVER UP AND LIES GOT THIS COUNTRY IS THE TROUBLE IT IS IN NOW AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! REPUBLICAN RULE IS OVER. AMERICA WILL LIVE AND SURVIVE AND THRIVE BECAUSE OF OBAMA AND BIDEN. PLAY YOUR TRICKS ON SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN YOUR GAME!!!!

I am more than happy to see the Clintons support the Democratic ticket. I have always liked Senator Clinton and the former President Clinton and was unhappy to Senator Clinton not be successful in her run for the presidency. However, it is not the end of the world. It must not have been the right time for it to happen. Sometimes, these things happen for a good reason. I am sure she will have many successes in future endeavors. I am 100% behind Senators Obama and Biden in their run for office as I am sure they are the right team to be the leaders of our country at this time. In the meantime, let's all get together and vote the nominated Democratic ticket into office. We need them if this country is to survive.

The Dems have got to get the big guns out, get in the trenches, get muddy, and get this thing done! We sure know the Repukes can play dirty, that is the only way you can win when you are wrong on every issue!

I can't waith for Paillin unscripted.

WOW ablog that is still open. CNN your credibility is waning quickly. Are you reading the blogs that your organization is facilitating? These blogs are disproportionately in favour of Obama. Your polls are either a terrible representation of societal views or you lie for ratings.

Pretty hard for people to have heard how much these two camps hate each other then suddenly everything is roses between them…just goes to show that all politicians are just plain parasites and will do and say anything to get what they want.

ANYONE EVER HEARD OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. I THINK HE WAS A NOBEL PRIZE WINNING COMMUNITY ORGANIZER.

McCain / Palin in 08!!!!

^Really John Smith? Are you that arrogant of a person to give such statements?

Insead of Bill he should meet with Hillary and ask her to take on Palin. Hill would eat Palin alive. Mccain thinks he can persuede voters with putting Palin on the ticket. Giev me a break. McCain is old school politcis and clearly that doesnt work and Palin is just eye candy in my opinion. No substance there at all . I want to hear the issues not just words of change and let me ask for whom is change for ? people who make over 250,000?

Good work dems.I hope the american people can put their personal feelings aside pick the candidate that will restore this country's dignity in the world today, or else Bush and his cronies are waiting to finish what they've already started, that is to grag this great nation down the drain.

How much money will Sen. Obama have to contribute toward Sen. Clinton's debt?

The Hillary supporters will not be fooled by just anyone in a dress.
I've seen Rudy G. in a dress and it was not pretty.

The Clinton's know that they can't let their ego's get in the way of saving the world from John McCain. They will help and we will win.

i love the Clintons , love Obama great job.
OBAMA/BIDEN

John MCbush isn't sure he bought his daughter a japanese car, big surprise.

By the way I was at the rally in Colorado Springs and yes the flags that were handed out around the committed crowd of 10,000 devoted supporters to McCain and Palin in honor of holding those thrown out flags. They were waved with honor and pride for McCain is the real hero and the real man of honor. Don't always believe what you hear and read. CNN is wrong on this one. They take a word here and then another one there and lets put it together. Fox is the number one news channel!!!!

I submitted a comment but as usual, it has been either deleted immediately or banned by the CNN staff. I guess the only way to get a comment printed is to bow down and kiss the ground the CNN staff stands on politically. So much for non-partisanship on their part.

Charlie Gibson is going to give sarah palin a soft interview,big surprise.

Hillary: Senator; Bill: Secretary of State.

Unreasonable for Clintons do this for OB.
WE WILL NOT RESPECT CLINTONS ANYMORE FOR HIS BIZAREE BEHAVIOR LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, OB insulted them many times.

GO BILL CLINTON! a man who knows how to run an economy. mccain will be like bush.

I really agree with Hillarys first opinion on Obama, He is just not ready to lead yet, and personally I still think she feels that way but has to act as if she doesnt because of his nomination from her own poitical party.

As a HILLRY CLINTON DEM - I will NOT vote for obama.
WHAT does Hillary owe obama after the way he bashed her daily???

Maybe he should of Picked Hillary Clinton as his VP - we would not even be talking about who would win!!! BUT he did NOT - and that mistake will cost him the election.

McCain/Palin will get my VOTE - and Millions of Americans feel the same way.

If the Clintons believed that he was unfit for commander in chief during the primary, they need to tell us why they are flip-flopping now. Are they trying to persuade the country to elect somebody who is not qualified? That is not doing any good to the country.

I am amazed at the response to Gov. Sarah Palin's choice as if she has become the annointed one to dig America out of the ditch- Military, economic health care crisis created by the Republican controlled congress senate and White house. Are the Republicans out of their mind. They do have a very short memory.

Hillary has done more for Obama than any other losing candidate in history. As a continued Hillary supporter, I would like to see the olive branch extended more from Obama. Of course Obama did make the comment several times to HIllary " I can win your supporters, but you cannot win mine." Well, perhaps Obama is coming to reality- with his lead over McCain just 1 point now. His arrogance has been very disappointing. Obama has to earn each and every vote to win this campaign- just as McCain has to do the same. Hillary should not have to do it for him and should not be expected to. He made his decision and now its time to stand up and act like the leader he says he is.

How many of you Obamabots have seen the latest Obama gaffe video where he talks about his muslim religion, the interviewer asks "Christian religion?" and Obama realizes what he had said and says "Yeah Christian religion." Looks like that New Yorker cover might be close to the mark after all

Clearly Obama the great phony did not fool Sarah Palin with his self-important bragging.

For that reason alone, she is qualified to be VP.

She is not fooled by wolves in sheeps clothing.

Hillary saw Obama for the fraud that he is, also. That is why she is also qualified to lead. Unfortunately, HRC's hands were tied. She could not fight Obama fair or square- the racist label was flying. She could not criticize Obama- it might damage his chances.

So Hillary was sacrificed so the lesser qualified candidate could gain an advantage.

Millions will never forget or forgive that treachery.

Sorry Bill and Hillary, but I will not vote for Obama.

Hillary should have been on top of the ticket and Obama should have been VP. That would have been unstopable. They would have been ahead double digits in the polls. Democrats had no loyalty towards the Clintons and Bill who had been a great president. It was the perfect senario for the democrats with gallup today showing McCain leading Obama 48 to 45

what is the deal with these Hillary supporters who have decided to vote for McCain? Just to let you know about some history- Women got the right to vote in 1920 however people of African decent got the right to vote 1865. I would have been proud no matter who won the primaries because I am a black women. But these white women just cant let us (black people) have our moment. One would think it is long over due. What happened to the time when white women worked with black people to help revolutionize this country to include us too. If Hillary had won I would have supported her as much as Barack Obama. It disgust me that they decided not to support our time.

SO BIG DEAL

WAY TO PAY OFF HER DEBT .

AN GET A FEW FREE MEALS . TO LATE FOR ANOTHER TOUR WITH THE FLIP FLOPPS. COULD MAKE HOLLYWOOD WITH THE MEDIAS DARLING.

I visited this great website that shows where each canidate stands on the issues. Did any of you know that in 2000, John McCain voted against sending financial aid to African to fight aids, because he said, "The effort would used only be to fuel corruption." I thought on my god. How could he say such a thing. He didn't look for a solution around the corruption if that was even true.

I ask that all of you who post in these forums to really research where each of the canidates stands on the issues. Oh, and by the way, it's been noted that Obama's tax plan is really better than McCains.

You people think you are hurting now if you allow McCain and Sarah Palin in office you really will be hurting.

OBAMA WILL BE A GREAT PRESIDENT!!!

MAYBE JOHN MCCAIN WILL HAVE LUNCH WITH BUSH.

MIKE, YOU ARE RIGHT!!! CNN WILL ALWAYS SAY "MODERATION" FOR B.O. BAD RIGHT-UP. I TRIED TO PRAISE OBAMA, THAT WORD "MODERATION" DID'NT COME UP. I GUESS THEY DESIGN A PROGRAM THAT WILL ISOLATE ANTI-B.O. COMMENT AND PRO-OBAMA COMMENT. I GUESS THAT'S THE NATURE OF THIS BUSINESS, EVERYTHING IS MOTIVATED BY SOMETHING OR SOMEONE FOR SOME WEIRD REASON!!!

mike, hillary and most of us will be dead in 2102.

Never forget that Obama does NOT have the experience that Hillary has. The democrats wanted Obama they got him…..as I republican I would have voted for Hillary because of her experience. Now I will vote McCain because of his experience. Maybe Sarah is the new fresh blood but that is at the vp level. Obama as their own party members have said DOES NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE. Remember we are electing the PRESIDENT. Hilary for 2012 but McCain for 2008. NO OBAMA

This blog likely will not be printed but it's the truth. After 9/11 the U.S. invaded 2 countries. Afghanistan where they had the support of a large number of legitimate countries and Iraq where they had little or no support by anyone other than Bushes poodle Tony Blair.

Anyway the point is if Americans elect McCain in November you will almost certainly see a large pull out of troops by all the other countries currently fighting and dying in combats basically abandoned by U.S. forces.

Everyone is well aware the Iraq invasion and it's subsequent occupation is illegal and if you choose to stay this course then it will only be a matter of time until you will be going it alone.

If you think this won't happen or won't matter then you better get your heads out of the sand and understand your only way out from that point on is the draft.

WHy don't ya all wait until November 4th? There will be one man standing. Enuf said. Go do something productive in the meantime instead of wasting bandwidth!! YOUR CUONTRY NEEDS YOU TO BE PRODUCTIVE!! Lets NOT vote for Nader. Lets vote for one of the two lesser evil devils. OBnut or MCnut. Whic
