CNN

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.

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.

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

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. Whichever flavour we may like. Myself I like peanuts!!

Clinton is probably trying to get Obama to make him his Vice President instead of Biden...Clinton is always trying to steal the spotlight

I am a little mystified at the influence that Mr. Clinton maintains. While he used his convention speech to subtly congratulate himself on the 1990s, his actual leadership acumen deserves some scrutiny:

1) For starters, if the economy was good in the 1990s, it certainly helps that his administration happened to land in a historical lull between existential threats. While the ethnic violence of the 90s was chaotic, it did not pose a threat to the global economic order like the Soviet Union or Al Qaeda. It's amazing how well your economy can do absent a threat to your national existence.
2) Mr. Clinton cited a number of negative trends over the past eight years, such as income inequality, etc., but he never let on as to whether any of those trends actually started prior to 2000. For example, if I remember correctly (please check me), there was already talk of the economy slowing down in the third quarter of Clinton's last year in office.
3) The "power of our example, example of our power" line made for great speechcraft. So, does that mean that all of the bombs and rounds that President Clinton ordered used in Somalia, Haiti (almost), Bosnia, Kosovo (without UN authorization), Iraq (twice), Sudan, and Afghanistan were loaded with "example"?
4) Note that one of Mr. Clinton's biggest successes in balancing the budget, welfare reform, came from acting like a conservative. Furthermore, his significant cuts to the military are part of the reason our forces are so stretched today – even if you believe Iraq was completely unnecessary, what if another conflict had occurred?
5) Mr. Clinton, like many others, holds contradictory positions on job outsourcing. On the one hand, he worries about maintaining the job security of Americans. On the other, he notes that people around the world want jobs; presumably, he would suggest the lack of opportunity is what fosters radicalism. So which is it? Do we keep jobs in the U. S., or do we provide jobs to stave off terrorism in the Third World? Either (a) the Third World will continue to smolder in poverty, (b) American jobs will be sent overseas, or (c) other countries will eventually develop jobs on their own, in which they will make cheaper products that will displace U. S. goods here and abroad. I do not begrudge him concerns on either of these counts, only the pretense that, without developing a completely new economy, we can somehow have both.

Go Bill, Obama can use your help explaining how good he will be for the economy and just how bad McCain will be. Thanks.

If it's not in favor of the "one" they won't post it 4th attempt!

Calling in Hillary, Oprah, and Bill.

Desperation is showing through ... he needs the girls to bail him out.

He screwed Hillary and she's an idiot if she falls for his trash now. Oprah is all about race so of course she'll open her trap in his defense. I wonder if she'll note that she was smarter than he was by leaving Wright's so called church because even she couldn't stand the hate?

The dems had this one in the bag and have been working hard to find a way to throw it all away.

Instead of Bill and the girls, why isn't he using the Joe Biden "attack dog" he put on the ticket? BTW, Joe has a son and a brother that are lobbyist.

If that's not enough ... they are in hot water for fraud. True ... look it up!

Raisin' McCain/Palin 2008

Obama took a knife to Hillary Clinton... now for the sake of all Americans, the Clintons are being BIG about it and doing what is best for America.

Obama does NOT deserve it. Obama did not win fair and square.

What a nightmare for the history books Obama's mad grab for power will prove to be. What a shame the DNC permitted this non entity to steal the nomination for his own personal glory. Too bad winning was so important to Obama that he sacrificed his party and his country for it and risks losing an all-important election.

it appears the cnn articles are just read by the cnn television watchers so i have decided to stop reading this page and turn it over to all the liberals who are so vile – you can read each other and feed your hatefulness – you all learned well from you heros the clintons

Why would hillary help Obama. he treated her like crap! she should just hope McCain wins so she can campaign in 2012. although she is probably thinking that if McCain wins, there goes her chance for the first female v.p. and possibly president.

oh, and John Smith, you are an idiot. Life does begin at conception. If it didn't why would anyone need condoms.

yes, Clinton and Palin will not attract the same voters. that was not what McCain is trying to do. he's trying to attract real people, not the left elite that is Obama.

Sen. Clinton represents my State and you can bet she has her boxing gloves being fitted and she'll come out swinging, it's all in the timing.

I'm glad Pres. Clinton and Sen. Obama are meeting on such a sacred day for New York State.

ps cnn would you please stop deleting me...

GEORGE BUSH DIFINATELY HAD EXPERIENCE AS GOVERNOR IN A POPULATED STATE AND SCREWED UP. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THESE PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM TWICE!!!!!!!!

JOHN MCCAIN CAN BE A HERO ALL HE WANTS BUT NOT PREZ.

"All" Democrats, not just the Clintons, but everyone who call themselves democrats must rally around the Obama/Biden ticket. It is totally up to us. There is a segment of democrats that will not support Obama because of the ebony hue of his skin. We really need to get beyond this mind set.
If you truly want to elect the Obama/Biden ticket, you know exactly what you must do. If you need encouragement, view the movie, "Remember the Titians." This will give you courage to "do the right thing."

God Bless,

Must be true .. they hate the truth!

Raisin' McCain/Palin 2008

dems/libs are imploding. Fabulous.

Senator Clinton has worked hard to get health care for all Americans to the extent that I believe this issue is now on the front burner and cannot not be postponed. She is admired and respected in other countries and has the knowledge to be a very good Secretary of State. This is good preparation for any future presidential aspirations she may have. What do you think?

The truth is that Sarah Plain's electrification of crowds is stage managed.Like robots the crowds boo to buzz words " tax increase" , "barack Obama" , " Joe Biden" etc and " Cheer to "tax cuts", " moose" , " baracuda" , " Hockey Mom", "Country first" .Its a theatrical trick which is actually working.The Obama Camp should get back to the big rally strategy because the McCain campaign to stage managing crowd excitement to potray that their campaign has gained enthusiasm

USA Today Gallup Poll:

McCain 54%
Obama 44%

Gallup Poll:

McCain 48%
Obama 45%

Zogby Poll:

McCain 49%
Obama 45%

I like the trends. PUMA 2008 until the end!

Americans who are so selfish, naive, and failthful to a party that even after destroying America's Image internationally and showing complete indifference to their people, state publicly they will vote for them again, need a Health Care Program more than the rest of us!
Republicans can't win on issues so they're using sympathy and gender.

How many times will I have to endure McSame's POW, military, life history? ENOUGH already! It is absolutely Shameful that this man would try to use his service to garner votes! Does he have no shame? What about other POWS who endured the same or worse? What about the servicemen from, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Viet Nam War, why not tell all their stories too?

I have heartfelt gratitude, praise, and respect for all our heroes past and present BUT why should one man be given all the Glory and the other millions who gave as much be totally ignored? This man has the nerve to profess he is a Leader who puts his Country First! What sector of his Country would that be? Looks like it's only the McSame Sector to me! Maybe if we all get down on our knees and prostrate ourselves in his presence he will GO AWAY and take that excuse for an experienced, wannabe, Bureauocrat Palin with him! Then we just might have a chance at getting our Country back! Citizens who would jeopardize their Nation so profoundly with another Republican vote should be held accountable!

America will now suffer because of the self-indulgent abuses of Obama.

This primary has been all about adoring and adulating and worshipping Obama.

It has been all about getting out there and creating this myth of Obama.

Obama made a reckless grab for power at a crucial time in history- gutting more qualified candidates- just so his ego could be stroked by making history.

It was foolish and selfish and self-serving of Obama to gamble in this way at this time in history- just for his personal gain.

The Clintons know what Obama has done and they will try to save the day because they are TRUE democrats and selfless servants of Americans.

Obama is in it for his own glory.

I AM VERY HAPPY TO HEAR THEY ARE GOING TO MEET. I THINK THEY NEED TO WORK TOGETHER AND HAVE THE DREAM TEAM.
IS ALL ABOUT SHOW THE PEOPLE THAT DEMOCRATS"REALLY CARE" ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND NOT SOMEBODY ELSE, WORK FOR OUR COUNTRY ECONOMY AND NOT SOMBODY ELSE ECONOMY, ABOUT EDUCATION AT HOME NO ABOUT ANOTHER COUNTRIES, IS TIME TO STOP GETTING INVOLVE IN OTHER COUNTRIES PROBLEMS WHEN WE HAVE ENOGH IN OUR OWN HOME. GO OBAMA CLINTON I KNOW, IF YOU HOLD ON TOGETHER WITH BIDEN YOU CAN SHOW THIS BIG COUNTRY THAT YOU ARE THE SOLUTION. I KNOW IKNOW
REMAIND THIS COUNTRY, THE TOWER WHEN DOWN IN REPUBLICANS TIME!!!!
WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT? THEY CAN PROTECT THIS COUNTRY. THW WORLD DO NOT LIKE US RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS POLICIES.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

If Hillary becomes His Secretary of State
he will have an easy win of this election.

We love you, Hillary and Bill, and always will. Keep on truckin'-America desperately needs what you have to offer! I'll hold my nose and vote in November, but it still hurts!

Democrats... hating members of your own party- especially a popular expresident and his candidate wife is generally NOT a wise political strategy to win.

Obama recklessly used that vitriol to his own advantage. Now even BILL and HILL may not be able to put this humpty dumpty hypocritical and bankrupt party together again.

I don not know why they are so willing to try to help the hateful cheating Obama. He is perfect and he is the one... why does he need the help of Bill and Hill?

Obama is going to need his help. After Obama said recently that he is going to delay repealing the bush tax cuts on the wealthy after becoming president I would like to see where he is going to get the money to do all the things he says he is going to do. If you want to vote for a realistic candidate vote for McCain. If you want someone who makes a promise for things that only work in a world without problems vote for Obama. Obama has great ambitions for the US but his inexperience is jumping before looking.

as a life long latina democrat from the south side of chicago, obama has not made a difference in my community, he does not have the experience nor desire to connect or make a difference of middle america. mccain/palin has my whole-hearted vote. change that is backed by actions– more than rhetoric.

After eight years of Bush ,who John McInsane has voted with at least 90% of the time,how in th world is this race is even close!!! Racism and America.....I guess that's an everlasting marriage. God please bless America. Go Obama!

Obama is going to regret not picking Hillary Clinton as his VP. There are many Clinton supporters like me who will never vote for him because of the way he, his supporters and the media treated Hillary.

I think these so called "PUMA" groups need to wake up and get off of their emotional roller coaster. This is politics ladies and gentlemen....the majority rules, and the minority, although entitled to their views, should follow.

It is shameful to me that the bitter, scorned HillRaisers would consider going against their own party just to seek revenge on Obama. It is not obama they will be hurting, it is the democratic party. He did not do anything wrong like...tamper with the votes.....hmmm I smell a Bush #2 folly. Obama won fair and square....get over it. The "PUMAs" are no better than Joe Lieberman who calls himself a democrat, but supports McCain.

I am just glad to see that Hilary and Bill are finally on board and doing what is right for the party. They are not letting their egos ruin our party. If these supporters are truly behind Clinton, they would follow her lead and support our new Democratic leader.

I think people just don't know what they want and that is dangerous because people like elect leaders unqualified to lead the country.....I guess stickin it to the man is more important than the well being of our country.

I am not sure why the Obama campaign does not bring up the Keating five scandal at all to show the similarity between the economy now and the subprime crisis and John McCain. It seems such an obvious argument. And the press except for a recent piece on Fox news about McCain does not seem to touch this issue. Why is every one so worried to talk about this issue?

The Clintons are smart Democrates "YOU DON'T CUT OFF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE.

The big picture is extremely important!!!!

If we supported any one of the candicates it is time to unite this battle needs all Democrates united the alternate is dreadful.

Why is CNN, and other news casters, contining to ask Obama questions about Palin? Obama is not running for Vice President, he is going to be the next President of the United States. Furthermore, I am sure Hillary and Bill will be important parts and players in Obama's eight years tour in the White House.

Please tell me one thing Obama has done in the Senate.

obama now need the clintons. PUMA!!!!! obama is not ready to be the president. VOTE FOR MCCAIN. AND GET HILLARY IN 2012

to the american people how is it that in a week where palin ,MCbush
give speeches and take swipes at Obama, and dont give details on the economy health-care they dont talk about any thing important to the american people, how do they move up in the polls, ask your selves that next time you look in the mirror.

Bill, Your and Hillery's enthusiastic support for Sen Obama would elevate the Clintons in the democratic party and save Chelsea generation from disaster with John Mcsame and barracuda Sarah Cheney at the helm.
Please be a sport.

To all you Hillary supporters......I believe each and every one of you supported Hillary because she was an intelligent woman who understood each of you and the issues you felt were close to your heart. The very thought that McCain thinks that adding an unknown woman to his ticket who cannot even compare to Hillary will, somehow, make all of you support him let's send him a strong message and use Hillary's words!!!!

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN-PALIN!

During the primaries it was all Hillary hatred.

Oh I would vote for a woman... just not THIS woman.

Anyone but Hillary.

Anyone for VP but Hillary.

Well you ignorant intra-party divisive haters of fellow democrats- McCain has answered your prayers.

He has given you a great strong conservative REPUBLICAN woman that is nothing like Hillary on the issues. You must be in heaven now. Hope that Sarah is your cup of tea- Hillary sure wasn't.

Better hurry. G.O.P. lies travel faster than the truth.

Obama 08!

Some of you Hillary supporters are really EXTREMELY baffling?? Line by Line if you compare the policies between Hillary and Barack the difference is almost indistinguishable. AND YET you would rather see John McCian win, which would lead to 4 more years of SLIGHLTY modified policies than Pres. Bush. Which means four more years of losing jobs, losing income, and no real improvements in Health Care policies. It really doesn't make ANY sense.
The biggest reason Hillary loss was a POORLY ran campaign. And I am sure "she realizes this". Barack, Bill, and Hillary realize that 4 more years of Republican economics is unacceptable and they will work together to stop it.
It will be clearly evident in the next two weeks..

Look at Hillary's face... she has lost a very dear friend and supporter. You can see she is in sincere and genuine agony and pain...
Then look at Obi ONE's face and all you can see is a smug elite expression.

NO WAY, NO HOW, NOBAMA
Where's the BEEF?
NO BEEF, NOBAMA!

I am proud of the Clintons. I am sure both Clintons will play an important role in the Obama administration. Wow, the Obama administration...that sounds great! GO OBAMA/BIDEN

Let's see who would I rather have speaking with our potential leader, Bill Clinton a proven President that led an 8 year expansion of our economy with a $3 Trillion Dollar surplus or Ms Palin & John Mcgeezer two failures of politics?

I know who I am going to vote for – DEMOCRAT ALL THE WAY!

BILL KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING

YOU GO BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 TO GET

NY SENATOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can anyone in this country conceive that the word "uppity" have racial overtones. I'm 67 years old and have heard that phrase used since I can remember. Long before blacks could vote. It was used for everyone who had money and thought they were better than anyone else. Anyone who placed themselves higher than anyone else , which seems to be happening here. This year, for the first time ever, I and my family are not voting democratic, we will see what happens and hold all of the democrats at fault. This is a raciest election and America will pay the price. John McCain, in my opinion, is not the best choice, but Gov. Palin could be.

Thank you

Yes Sarah and Hillary are different as night and day on the issues.

They are both great women warriors that stand and fight for what they believe in and for the people they represent.

On the issues they are WAY different- so... ALL you ANTI-Hillary, anyone but Hillary, a woman yes, just not THIS woman, Hillary haters and bashers... YOU MUST LOVE SARAH PALIN- after all she is NO HRC.

If you hated Hillary you must love Palin, right? Oh... so it WAS misogyny all along. You bigoted, sexist haters will slam ANY woman.

Too little, Too LATE.

To Mike who said "OBAMA WILL LOSE...GO HILLARY 2102."

What do you see wrong with this date? Maybe a ~160 year old Hillary? They always say "Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line." Perhaps this is the reason why Democrats have won only 3 elections in the past 40 YEARS despite being on the right side of the issues.

Stop the madness and support the candidate that best represents the issues you care about most!

If people vote their economics Obama-Biden win in a landslide,but if they vote onpersonality then MCbush-MCmoose win in a close race.

Can we trust four more years of the republicans, they are so desperate to keep the white house that they go and get sarah palin by the way who is running at the top of the ticket, it seems like its palin,she is carrying the old man.

Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama are clear the right leaders for our country – there is too much at stake – we must elect Barack Obama as our next President

I am reading Ron Paul's book Revolution: A Manifesto, and it makes me realize that this campaign, that was suppossed to serious and compelling, has turned into the same old things we heard last time. And yes, Obama, needs to have Hilary in a powerful position. She deserves it, and she would get the job done.

Forget the Iraq war, forget the economy...I think the number 1 issue should be EDUCATION. How on Earth can Americans even think of voting for a Republican ticket after their last 8 years in office? This is why the US will not be able to compete with other countries in the long run, because people would rather vote for a "Hot Chick" than face the real issues drowning this great country. Pathetic!

I think Clinton is going to tell Obama how to really take it to McCain. The Palin pick has made it clear to the CLintons how far McCain is willing to sell his soul to be popular with teh Republicans.

No Way No How NO'Bama

This Palin interview is a joke most likely. I am sure she will know what the questions are in advance and they have probably told Gibson what he can and cannot ask. Just like Saddleback..a big sham. McCain knmew the questions in advance. That was so obvious or he has ESP and can answer que4stions before they are asked. These two people are the biggest liars i HAVE EVER SEEN. And you call her a Christian? What a joke.

I bet anything that Obama has something very special in store for Hillary. Dems just have to have faith. The Republicans are very steathy and secretive, why don't you think they will let Palin interview without having a chance to learn McClains platform. Palin doew not always tell the truth. She uses double talk and changes her mind. She did not sell her plane in ebay and she took a loss. She was for the "bridge to nowhere" at the get go but backed off. She supports big oli companies. Perhaps she and McCain should offer to the people that the government will drill and leave big oil companies out of it. Food for thought.

NO, stop helping the loser!!! You carry a lot of weight President Clinton and Senator Clinton but you don't have to help this egotist.

I wonder what the Clintons are going to tell him to help him on this day in which he and McCain should be remembering those who died.

Don't do it Bill and Hill... he's only using you after he and the DNC have stabbed you both in the back.

CNN DID'NT SHOW TODAY'S GALLUP POLL RESULT: 48%-45% MCCAIN TOOK THE LEAD. WHEN I CHECKED WITH FOX NEWS THE POLL IS IN. CNN, YOU SHOULD STRIKE A BALANCE BETWEEN THOSE CANDIDATES.
B.O. IS FEELING THE HEAT NOW, TRYING TO APPROACH THE CLINTON FOR MUCH NEEDED HELP. IT IS BIG BLUNDER ON B.O. PART FOR IGNORING HILLARY. HE IS SAYING THAT HE WAS THINKING JOINING THE MILITARY BACK IN THE LATE 70'S, MAYBE FOR SPLIT SECOND, THEN FIGURE OUT MY SMOOTH TAKING SKILL WILL NOT BE IN USE IN THE MILITARY, OPPSSS!!! SLIP AND SLIDING THERE B.O. WITH THE GIFT OF JIB-JABBER!!!

Even veterans at a Canadian Legion picnic today were talking about, wondering about, the depth of the tiesof the Palins to Alaskan Separatist Movement. The information is from the internet, NOT CNN or MSM. National Enquirer will out do y'all again!
It was a joke how she will not do interviews, except maybe Hannity, but DRUMMED up a story, which CNN danced to, about not being allowed on Oprah!!?? Now Oprah should jump at it to WATCH her back peddle.
Yes it was NOT her who lied about the plane selling on EBay for a profit, it WAS McCain. She gave it to a repub friend at a cut rate, loss. WHY (why) are Palin supporters, Bush admirers, demanding equal time for Palin!!?? BIDEN has NEVER been on Oprah!!!!!!

Obama make a dump choice for not picking Hillary as his running mate. The Democt Crack made a SSUUUPPP choice to picked Obama.
The man with unexperience. A rockie only talk for nothing. The agent of Change. Man sorry but I dont think he know what he is talking about.
Obama is going to lose this election. It is too late to ask for help from Bill& Hill.
To Democrats who supporter Hillary. IT OK TO VOTE FOR McCAIN
HE IS AN OLD MAN BUT HE IS BETTER THAN OBAMA.

John McCain 2009-2019
Hillary Clinton 2010-2018

carl bernstein asked the best question...If McCain were to die tomorrow, would the GOP have Palin as their nominee for President????

This is all about the democrats coming together, as the convention was all about. It's time to unite. I hope that Oboma keeps Hillary and Bill close to his side because they understand the issues devididng america just as he does.Don't let the republicans distorte what the true mission for this country is,don't let their fesr devide us.The (R) from Georgia called Oboma "Uppity" today, we all know where that type of talk originates from.We must not repeat the past,the past is what has the country in the mess it's in today.

Yup, Dems are going to unite and VOTE like never before. No way, no how, no McCain - the policy differences are stark and McCain will be a Bush 3rd term.

I am sick and tired of Obama and the sleazy campaign of hatred and division that he waged against another candidate of his own party.

I am less and less impressed with his constantly morphing empty rhetoric.

Obama changes position based on what polls well.

Obama panders for votes and does not want to displease anybody- he will sacrifice anyone- ask Bill, Hill and Rev Wright- just to win at any cost.

Bill... even YOU may not be able to breath life into this braggart's campaign.

george bush said 'you're either with us or against us'. that sure was a juvenile statement. i had all but given up hope for our country. it just seems so divided. i am a republican but i cannot stand the sight of carl rowe. the republicans seem to be using the divide and conquer tactic and at least the last 8 yrs it has worked. i am not a democrat now but i will be voting for obama in november.

i am glad to see that obama and clinton will have talks. it is a process and both sides need to air out their differences; agree to disagree but at least talk and come together for things that do matter. acknowledge those views they have in common.

obama said on abortion that i respect your opinion to right to life if that is how you really feel and i hope you understand that because our opinion on this and many other issues are very far apart does not mean we cannot find solutions to the problem such as in this case we find ways to limit unwanted pregancies.

america does not have to remain so divided on these issues if we find a middle ground as obama wants to do. after all the last 30 yrs of division on this one issue has not gotten either side anywhere.

If Obama had choosen Hillary ????He would not be 45% He made a wrong decision. Senator Biden is a good candidate but he is not Hillary. Mccain made a Wise decision in Choosing Sara Palin. I'm still confused between the 2, but every I lean more towards the Mccain and Sara Palin Ticket. Obama's Pride by not choosing Hillary turned me away,.

We are going to learn Gov Palin's stand on issues soon – then what. Are we just going to yell " MORE OF THE SAME"? It's not working. If Dems want to still win this thing, then instead of pointing out the other sides lackings, Obama had better come out with his own SPECIFICS.

That is an awesome picture of Obama and the Clintons.

Lisa B.

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!

Obama should announce Hillary as his Health Care CZAR!!

Not a month later.........
Not a week later.....
NOW !!!

It is truly frightening that 72-year-old McCain with a history of melanoma has picked a woman who is so very right wing! The Clintons are presidential and have devoted their lives to making this country better. We need them in this race to help Obama get elected. A McCain win is scarier than it was before Pain joined the ticket. And my Repbulican friends think any woman will do. I think the Clintons have been most gracious and I know they will continue to be.

"OBAMA WILL LOSE

GO HILLARY 2102"

Haha, you sure Hillary will still be around by the next millennium?

This would be a good time for Obama to send cousin Bill on a 60 day factfinding trip to Rangoon.

I felt really bad for Bill during the convention. I think it would have shown a lot of unity if Obama, Hillary, and Bill were all on stage after his acceptance speech last Thursday night. Even though he represents the past, he still deserves the respect of a 2-term former president.

Why no mccain.

1) We can lower the abortion rate while still supporting womens rights. Look at bush hes pro life and are abortion rate is still high. so much for that arguement McCain.

2) Obama wants to lower taxes for 95% of america the mccain camp is flat out lying saying he will raises taxes. The only higher taxes is going to the oil companies making 10000000000000000000000000000000 gazillion dollars. but mccain wants to drill no wonder the oil companies give him $2mil for campaign.

3) Bush was prolife and the abortion rate is still high

4) McCain is Bush how can this country be so stupid and fall for a republican candidate another 4 years. our economy will fail and we will always be at war.

i cant type anymore i g2g to be continued

U know folks I sit back and wonder why anyone would vote for the republican party. Granted I respect that the old man McCain chose a woman as his V.P. but we all have to realize that he did this as a publicity stunt. I understand that some Hillary Supporters are voting for McCain for the purpose of him chosing a woman as a V.P. but lets be honest he could have chose someone who is much much much more qualified than Palin is. That alone is not a good enough reason to vote for the McSame-Palin ticket. If u're one of the voters who is not happy about the way the economy is going now, do me a favor and sit back and just think how much worse it would be if u vote for someone who has agreed with Bush 90% of the time!!! can somebody please give me a reason why anyone should consider the republican candidates? Palin is not a good enough reason for me!!!!

I'd like to see Larry King invite Hillary and Sarah Barracuda onto his program to discuss the concerns of women in this election cycle. Of course, Palin won't be allowed to come out to play, but that's okay, Larry could give the time to HRC then, or share it with one of 'Cuda's female handlers.

Seriously, this could go a LONG way to clarifying for the public whether a Dem or Repub administration would take better care of women's rights and concerns.

Good to see one of America's best Presidents and one of America's future best Presidents sitting down to discuss politics!

The only change I've seen him make is changing his mind on issues. He should have picked Hillary for VP, but I guess he can't handle the pressure from the Republicans that's why he had to pick one of McCain's old best friends, Biden.

John McCain did lead in May, and the polls change daily. Remember, that the polling on Sunday takes into consideration many evangelicals who overwhelmingly support the republican ticket. The state by state polls are trending to Obama. Yes this race will be close, but I do think that Obama/Biden will pull it out in the end.

Poor Barry, saying "my Muslim faith," with George Stephanopoulos shows that Sarah Pailin has completely gotten under his skin. The poor fellow falls apart without a script and a teleprompter.

All style, no substance!

McCain/Palin 08 The Right Side of History!

Obama made a mistake. The Biden pick gained him zero votes. The Palin pick gained the Republicans millions. How could Obama not have picked Hillary?

Since Clinton has a library, they should discuss what they think of Palin taking away freedon of speech in Alaska. According to the Times article, she had the audacity to ask how she can remove books from the library!!!!!!!!

As more details unfold on Palin, I think she is one CRAZY person.

She does not represent American values when she is willing to take away freedom of SPEECH.

KARL ROVE DOES IT AGAIN...AMERICA DOOPED AGAIN! THE WHOLE WORLD IS LAUGHING!!! THE WHOLE WORLD IS LAUGHING!!! AMERICA DOOPED AGAIN!!! THE WHOLE WORLD IS LAUGHING!!! THE WHOLE WORLD IS LAUGHING!!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!! THE WHOLE WORLD IS LAUGHING!!! THE WHOLE WORLD IS LAUGHING!!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!! AMERICA DOOPED AGAIN...KARL ROVE DOES IT AGAIN!!!

Lets stop bashing and wait to see what comes out of this lunch. Maybe Senator Obama won't barf or maybe the food is safe enough for him to eat. They hate the fact that Senator Clinton lost to him and now they want his trust to get in some kind of position in the cabinet. Bill wants to use one of the rooms in the WH, and Hill wants the WH still. But, all-and-all, they will work together to make the Dems the Best in the White House and the Greatest Preisdent since Kennedy! Go OBAMA 08 thru 16.

N McShame, McLie, McCheat, No Failin Palin

I listened closely to what Sarah Palin had to say during the convention. She mostly went after Obama for being a community organizer. I guess she forgot he is a state senator and is currently on the Foreign Relations Committee. On the other hand you have Palin who has only been out of the country one time and that was to Kuwait. She is no Hillary Clinton. They both differ on issues. During Palin's speech she displayed no substance. She did not talk about what is affecting people today. She will be tested during the debates. McCain and Palin both talk about change, but how can you have change when you voted with Bush 90% of the time. Thats not change but more of the same. You can't say one thing and then turn around and say another. The problems we are in today are from McCain and his record proves it. I cant wait for debates to shed some light on McCains record. From the war to giving tax cuts to oil company's that have made record setting profits.

People think PUMA is about revenge. But really it is about desiring QUALIFIED proven leadership in the White House. I dont think the Bush Administration failed necessarily because of platform, but because of Bush's ineptitude and inability to keep his ego out of his job. HENCE he convinced a nation to get into an unnecessary war. Senator Obama has demonstrated over and over again in his dismal Senate voting record that his ego, and career aspirations matter more to him than casting a vote (every once in a while).
Undecisive leadership is highly susceptible to corruption; history has shown this to be the case over and over and over again.

McCain's legacy of crossing party lines to the extent of alienating some powerful people in the Republican establishment resonates true leadership.
"I would rather lose an election than a war" says enough to me.
Palin's GOP corruption takedown is killer, too.

Sorry Hill and Bill, your hard work in the 90s was appreciated by many of us, but we are more interested in competency and leadership than issues...because issues come and go. The effects of poor leadership can last for decades!

No way, No how, no MCsame-MCmoose.

Why are some people voting for a VP??

McCain and his "shoot first, ask questions later" policy making process is the one running!

to John Smith sep 7th, 8:02PM
well said/Bravo

Do your research, Bush and McCain have different policies. Our lives could be in the hands of someone who has little to no experience and confides in a person who is not the sole decision maker "Biden". Americans take responsibility over your own actions and stop asking the government to bail you out of your responsibilities. Why do you think we pay so much on taxes. We are too busy bailing each other out instead of helping our country. Country First with McCain!!!!!!

This can only be seen as a good thing.The former Democratic President having lunch with the next Democratic President makes sense.Unlike some Hillary (or so called,because I would not offend the real ones) supporters, Bill and Hillary are true blue Democrats and want to do anything they can to make sure Obama wins the Whitehouse.I am sure Bill will have some great things to discuss with Barrack.I wish people would lay off the Hillary thing and be patient.There is no doubt there is a very important job that Hillary will be offered by Obama and that is the biggest reason she was not picked for VP.You all know Obama is a very thorough person and this is one of the most important qualities needed for President,and he will no doubt have a post for her.He will not use the speed dating tactic the Republicans use for VP picks. It would not surprise me one bit if Hillary was to head up healthcare in the Democratic party.Speaking of healthcare why can many other countries have successful healthcare run by government and not Americans.O I forgot it is only Republicans that do not see outside of the US and realize this can be done efficiently through government.If you have a diplomatic President and unity you can find out some good points on healthcare systems around the world that are successfully run through government.

Bill and Hill are good Democrats. Obama should go public with his plans for Hillary and put all this nonsense to rest. Do the PUMA's need a bigger 2 by 4 to the head to see that a McPa(l)in election would be devastating? I am very afraid, this country (sort of ) elected Bush TWICE. Do not take anything for granted, even the bogus poll numbers.
Obama/Biden 2008/2012

Way to go Bill! Obama can and will learn from one of the best Democratic Presidents. How to put Party FIRST!

Obama/Biden 08

Obama, Biden, Clinton, all voted June 6, 2007 against an ammendment to immigration bill 1348 to make English our official language. Therefore, they are traitors of this great nation and should be treated as such. God Bless America and may President McCain keep her strong so that the traitors from within do not destroy her!

The Clintons must speak directly to the "Clinton"supporters and point out that Ms. Palin is no Senator Clinton. She is no Senator Biden or Senator Obama either.

I am watching the 2006 Alaska Governor"s debate on C-SPAN (sorry CNN) and I appeal to all Americans to watch this debate and listen to her answers. I am amazed that she was voted into office by the people of Alaska. She was not at all well versed on the issues and her answers are weak on content. Her delivery is "authoritative" and confident without the depth of abstract thinking a true leader must demonstrate.

Her answers related to education, the economy, abortion and stem cell research were basic at best. Being confrontational is not the only trait we should be looking for in our number two leader.

Hey Dems let's vote for policies not race! Obama/Biden 08

The Clinton's have been there and successfully done that. Obama is barely ahead of a party who's destroyed this countries economy and world wide standing.

That should tell you that there is no way, no how, Obama will win in November!

Planning for 2012 I can see Obama taking the #2 slot behind Hillary.

Words don't count in this country, deeds do, Maybe by 2012 Howard 'Yeehaw' Dean, Nancy 'NO NUTS' Pelosi and Harry 'In Search light of knowledge' will all be out of the way and for the 1st time in 12 yrs neither party will try and steal the election from the American Voters.

Thank you Bill, we still remember those great 90's! We had a shot this time with Hillary but no one including her and you figured that 3 people could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...Pelosi, Dean and Reid, go do something else in life, please!

I'm so tired of politicians and their gross waste of money. Luncheon? You've got a major portion of the south United States in dire straits due to storms and you are concerned about a luncheon?

Heads up Politicians! Someone wanting to garner votes, get yourself down here, roll up your sleaves, sweat, help out and you might just go forward a lot faster than sitting in on a 'luncheon' in a 'safe' zone.

I guarantee you that Gov. Bobby Jindal has solidified his standing as an extraordinary politician in his handling of Hurricane Gustav in the state of Louisiana. Yes, there is a lot more to Louisiana than the one little space of New Orleans which was not impacted much by Gustav... the rest of the state was.

Same as New York City is just a small portion of the entire state of New York. Regardless, get off spending millions on an election of possibly unqualifed people and take care of United States Citizens.

Mike, get over yourself. I have seen plenty of nasty stuff about Obama in this blog written by people like yourself. If you kept track, you might just see that.... I think the Republicans definitely have the edge on handing out nasty comments....just llisten to your lady Palin.....now look who I am calling a lady. Sorry.

Is it likely that someone who "represents" the moral majority who has obviously not been succesful her parenting responsiblities to the point that her underaged (17) daughter has been so loosely supervised and taught that she engaged in premarital, unprotected sex and is carrying and out of wedlock child by a boy (18) who says HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE A FATHER likely to be an appropriate candidate to be a heart beat from running this country? Oh, did I mention that she also has a special needs infant and rebellions teen aged son who went off to be a problem for the US Military? The American people deserve better. Let's get on to the true issues and the "platforms" of both parties' candidtate. Let's talk health care, economy, the war and the escalating decline of the American dream.

I am appalled at what Barack and his "innocent" staff has done now. In response to the Republicans mocking his "Community Organizer" skills, they have now decided to strike back by putting out a t-shirt claiming Pontius Pilot was a governor (hmmm wonder who they are talking about) and insuinating that Barack is equal to Jesus Christ!!! This is really scary! How dare he even go that route, talk about a cheap shot. And this man is a Christian!!! Hmmmm!!!
I don't consider myself a Republican or a Democrat but have always looked at people that i feel would serve best but I can tell you, this has definitely made me not want to be a Democrat! Wake up people and wonder why this Man would compare himself to Jesus! Makes you wonder about the anti-Christ that will appear and have many followers!

One clown talking to another clown. What could they possibly be discussing? The circus that is the lib party.

I watched the McCain revealed tonight on CNN and saw some more true CHARACTER revelations I wasn't aware of regarding the great Mr. McCain. I also have seen on the blogs that Palin's voice is finally starting to annoy everyone like it did me (thought I was the only one for a while). She has agreed to finally appear for a television interview (with Charles Gibson of all people). They wouldn't let her talk until they prepped her all this time. She has to know ahead of the interview the questions- can she do anything upfront and on her own. So far EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SCRIPTED for her. She's just like a puppet. I cannot understand the big Bounce she's giving anything. By the way, I'm so sick of the emphasis the polls have placed on them. Are you all aware that there are just 600 here 1200 there maybe 1000 here that are polled of registered voters. NOT NEWLY REGISTERED VOTERS, prior voters. This means if you have a cell phone, your not called. Also, how in the world can you give so much credence to a handful of people as to how the NATION feels. I am a middle aged Kansas woman and I personally think Palin is an arrogant, sarcastic narcasist. I'm still looking for all these positive blog spots. I keep surfing and there's not all that much positive about her, so where they keep getting all this great input from is beyond me. Talk about Obama loving himself, give me a break - she can't get enough of herself. Really wish they'd give her something new to say too, her speech is getting OLD<OLD<OLD. Oh Yeah, what has CHENEY done in the last 8 years everyone. She's not the important one here. Think about it. She's not going to do anything as long as McCain is still walking around.

Palin is the much thirsted for anti-serum for the Obama poisoning we have been forced to drink.

Already Healed you are an idiot.

Good!!! Obama needs some advice from the pros. McCain has found a way to avoid the issues. I hope the American public will not be stupid enough to vote for 4 more years before we get it right. The Republicans aren't looking out for our best interest, only for themselves.

NO MCCAIN.................NO PALIN

No way, no how, no nObama!

Clinton supporters considering voting for McCain have clear issues. How could you have campaigned so, so, so, so hard for all she believes in and has fought for to give your vote to the opposite?

I will never get it. Yes, there were problems in the primaries. There were a lot of tensions. However, politics is not always about getting exactly what we want. It is about doing the best we possibly can to create the best change possible.

I am 100% certain that if Barack Obama is elected, Senator Clinton will be in his administration.

McCain and Palin will win because they are the ones who can accomplish the "change" that Obama speaks of. It won't be the same "change" Obama had in mind; it will be far better.

I just wanted to know, when these polls come out, who is being polled? I don't know anyone who has ever beened polled. Just wanted to know.

Hillary and Bill HAVE TO HELP! Hillary needs to take down Sara Palin. Bill needs to take down McCain. There will be no US left in 4 years. Russia will see to that. Please, please help. I would switch places if I could, with Joe Biden, if I were Hillary!!!!

I agree with you Mike... CNN is particularly biased towards the Obama campaign. Is it me, or did anyone else notice that it took nearly a week for information about Obama sliding in the polls to appear. If my post appears... it will be the first of many.

He needs all the support he can get. Hillary Clinton and women Democrats should give Sara Palin her own dose of medicine.

What part of that comment needs moderation?

Democrats had the best Candidate out there- Hillary.

For some reason I can not fathom the left turned bigoted, biased, sexist, derisive of fellow democrats this year.

You gutted our best hope and forced your would-be messiah on us.

DID NOT WORK.

Love you Bill.
Love Hillary and she is the only democrat that I will ever vote for until the DNC takes back this party and bans corruption.

When you get the chance to interview Obama again, please ask him how is it that he can claim to be free of control by special interests yet he has so strongly supported the unions, to the point where there is a belief he has promised to promote THE FREE CHOICE ACT, which basically amounts to giving up working people's right to choose whether to join the union. Who is he to give our rights away in the interest of union support for his candidacy, and how is that not playing into the hands of special interests/

The people that say that Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton and that
they are as different as night and day are 100% correct. Sarah Palin is governor of a God forsaken state and she was the mayor of a two bit town, but she made it on her own she is a self-made woman. Hillary on the other hand is a Bill Clinton made woman, if it wasn't for Bill there wouldn't be a 12 million dollar book deal, senate seat, or run for the presidency. She would still be back in Arkansas trying to figure out how to make cookies. So you are right Sarah is no Hillary.

Bill if you enter into any form of unity with this snake then I will have no more use for you or Hillary. I will regret any form of support that I gave her throughout her campaign. This rat and his supporterS called you and her every name in the book. They have no respect for you. What motive could you have to support this man. He is unfit for President of the United States and will lead us on a path of destruction. I can not understand any unity between the two of you. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

Nice to see the team of change working together. Oh, give it a few more days until Palin's 15 mins of fame is over.

The way Obama spoke about Bill, painted him as a racist, totally disrespected the ONLY 2 term democrat president in a very long time,
he'd better have a taster handy at that lunch. obama has divided the party with his power surge. I have always voted a straight dedmocratic ticket but I cannot vote for the likes of obama. Obama is another bush- from the extreme left.
no boma no way no how

Sarah Palin Affair. Please report on this.

BY THE WAY

The definition of BIPARTISANSHIP: agreeing with the democrats on every issue.

The definition of ANTI-BIPARTISANSHIP: "NOT" agreeing with th democrats on every issue

I can't believe this. After all the Clintons are responsible to train Obama to be a President. It's a shame that they trashed them during the primary. Democrats are dump. What goes around will comes around Democrats will lose this election. Obama and his supporters should be a shame of themselves that Obama has to turn around and ask the Clintons for help. Why Clinton and not Ted Kennedy? He’s the one who started this mess any way. Hillary kept on telling them that Obama can't win over and over and what they did to her? They slashed her up if I were Clintons I wouldn't even bother. Obama doesn’t deserve help from them.

It's time for the Clinton's to step aside. I think their great and I am a staunch Hillary supporter but time is up, the decision has been made! If Obama thinks he could win this fight then why enlist the aid of the Clinton's? The people will decide!

"The people should not fear their Government...The Government should fear their people!

Not sure how to comment to this news; let me check McCain's website and get the talking points...

Bill and Hillary,

They'll do it – but they won't mean it!!

Perhaps Obama will tell the world why he chose NOT to make Hill the VP candidate.

HAHA Obama already lost with not chosing Hillary! Mccain won when he chose Palin.

All you have to do is look at what has gone on in last 8 years /Republicans keep harping about Congress well who is it that vetoes at the end isnt his name Bush?
I could care less what gender /Nationality I go by what he has done starting from scratch /his judgement and intelligence he gave up wages he could have had but was more interested in helping others than the amount of his wages .
Did you see the McBush'twins ", Phooling .Cheney,Rove,Graham and their gang volunteering to help disadvantaged people ?Not in this life .
Speaking of negative vs McPhalling and still coming out of the woodwork what a looser but they need to check her" Dairygate" that is another bag of worms "Just google Dairygate &Polin" .
The Soccer .Sports Center in Wasilla is still in the courts on some of Phailings dealings.
Run out of paper printing all her falures .

Soft punch absorbs the toughness and turns it against the enemy. We need soft punch... it can only be Obama.

You want to fight! Leave it to the Republicans! We Demo dogs need to call them home to rest.

These two parties CANNOT live without each other. The Ying/Yang relationship is perfect with both of them. Cold and Hot. Hard punch/soft punch.

Tai Chis is the way to win. Hard punch – Republican... Soft Punch.. the Democrats...

The republicans seem to be very excited because Palin can read. I quess they set the bar very low, as well as their expectations because of the last republican clown they were goo goo over.,

Translation: Nobama will try anything to get elected, even swallow his pride to get Bill into the mix. Bill harpooned him in the primaries, but all is forgiven now. They are pulling out all the stops to get this non-achiever elected.

MCCAIN-PALIN 2008

THE ONLY CHANCE THIS COUNTRY HAS!

I am tired of these polls.QUESTION : how many people where polled ? when where they polled ? Who where the people that where polled ? I do not know anyone that has ever been polled including myself. If u are not going to poll everyone do not report them b/c they are not accurate.

@Lisa B.

I guarantee Hillary will be part of his cabinet. And I think there will be a new position dedicated to universal healthcare which she'll be in charge of.

LOL

The Chosen One probably wants pointers on how to pick up Babes from The Great Philanderer himself. Why else would he want to meet with such a rutting pig of a person?

Help..help.hhhhelp

With the economic disaster of the last eight years (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac bailout, I think this election might be a single issue one: Race. Lets see how Clinton can help.

Obama is unfit to be President,guess he'll enlist the Clintons to go and fight the girl Palin for him.EVEN the Clintons can not change or rewrite Obama's pathetic professional resume:bought n' owned(Soros,Reid,Pelosi,Daley,Axelrod...not to mention Rezko) Chicago style political hack,his brief IL state senate period marked time with "I'M here,present votes" then US senate short timer experience is UNremarkable as he did nothing but run(aka ADVANCE HIMSELF) for the DNC nomination and sell his memoires,Thanks but no thanks DNC,VOTE McCain/Palin08.

Isn't this adorable, Barrack and Bill having lunch together. And Obama Mama Campbell Brown will probably be there to cover every word and every bite.

yes i,m voting for mc cain cose he does respect america and she didnt need a commitee to tell him who to pick for vp i like to know with obama if we have a crisis then he 1st will create a commitee to solve it and hoping by then is to late to do anything ,his record in the senate is voting present ,cose he want no troble with republicans or democrats,let me say it like it is ,he has no huevos to deside anything
mc cain would do a better job in the white house, and yes im a democrat that supported hillary,,,,please all hillary supporters please think whats best for the USA and vote republican this time and for hillary in 2012

I am very glad that President Clinton, the one I voted for, is back! I look forward to his putting his considerable intellect and talent forward to advance the best interests of America.
President Clinton, more than anyone else, must know that McCain and Palin would be very dangerous as President and Vice President for America with two wars and an economy that is in serious trouble. After all, he was the last President who presided over a peaceful and prosperous America!

Picture of a former and 2 future great Presidents of USA.

Stop the GOP = Plunder in 2008

United we stand!!!

So, Obama is meeting Bill Clinton at the Clinton Foundation offices ... isn't this the same Foundation that the Obama Camp was screaming and demanding for disclosure on who was donating money to it?
Politicians will always be politicians just like cow dung will always be cow dung.

It's nice to see them getting along...

OBAMA 08!

I supported Hillary during the primaries and the media, pundits, his mean-spirited supporters who blogged night and day, along with Reid, Pelosi and Dean are to blame for the way things turned out. I don't think Hillary should be backing Obama and frankly she is out of the race. She should just go back to her Senatorial position and wait until 2012. If she and Bill jump in now, it will look like they did it for political expediency. I will not vote for Obama as long as he is on the ticket and from the way the Democrats have been behaving in a sexist and nasty way towards Gov. Palin and her family, I wouldn't give them the right time of day. And I'm a liberal female.

I am glad to see that Bill Clinton has asked Obama to have lunch with him. I understand that Hillary is on the campaign trail helping Obama and Bill will soon follow. I don't understand the "Hillary Supporters" that plan to vote for McCain and Palin. I guess that they don't get it as far as turning around and giving McCain their vote after Hillary asked them to give their support to Obama. It shows that they really never supported Hillary and her policy views. They only enjoy spouting off the the cable stations and the press. They had never planned to support the Democratic candidate for President (Obama). I am a woman and have been a Hillary and Bill supporter for years and am now am a strong supporter of Obama. I do not want another 8 years of a (Bush-McCain Presidency). It is about time that these woman that were Hillary Supporters grew up. Obama is now the candidate for the Democratic ticket. It sounds as if these women were not really Democrats after all.

I refuse to believe the american people would vote for war a third time
in three consecutive elections. After our image has taken such a beating, after being lied to again and again and again. I really dont know what it would take to make us see the light.

AMERICA, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES

We need a leader that knows how to lead, a leader that knows how to communicate. People anybody can be a bully, any iddiot can send us into war, how about this time voting for a leader that actually keeps us from war? I refuse to believe we have totally lost our minds.

Vote Democrat, Vote Obama

No way no how no MCcain get a cane

At The Rebublican Convention they all shouted to drill for more oil,if the republican is given another term we will soon see the real effect of global warming .Do they care about the planet ?,do they have kids?.McBush and McPalin ageenda is all trickery just to deliver us to the oil companies to suck our wallets and take away our homes and our american dreams. Are we going to fall in the same trap BUSH and CHANEY put us in , wake up america!

The Clinton's realize that Obama has a really good chance of winning this election and want very much to be seen to have been strong supporters of his candidacy should he win. Smart on WJC's part to invite Obama to have lunch.

For those HRC supporters who are intent on constantly complaining about Obama's decision not to place her on his presidential ticket, please go vote for John McCain. Don't just talk about it or talk about how Obama is going to lose the election. Go do your part to help elect a couple of European American extremists become president and vice president.

i am an imigrant who became a citizen in 1980, and i love this country but when i hear mccain talking about bureaucracy pisses me off, because that is the perfect name for him mr. bureaucracy. this country is crumbling and the war seems endless, the weakening dollar is a shameful thing for americans, i was in italy and i tried to buy some shoes because the streets of florence are murder with high heels, i had no euro with me at the time, and i asked if they woud take my american money and they laughed at me. if barack loses the election i we're doomed! and the bimbo that wanted to make alaska independent from the us, whats up with that? that's not putting country first. oh, get him fired because he hurt my sister, bimbo!

I am a lifelong Democrat. And all of you can pretend and wish away the fact that there ARE disaffected Democrats who may not be able to support Obama.

President Clinton got played by Obama. He did say the Republicans was the party of ideas–and pretty much dismissed the Clinton legacy. It's pathetic that you call for party unity–when in fact, Obama denigrated Clinton, a former symbol and hero of the Democratic Party.

It's politics as usual. So much for the change agent.

Uh oh..........

LIBERALS for McCain/Palin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And I honestly believe that President McCain will "go to" Senator Clinton when it comes to health care.)

I would love to hear what Bill has to say to him.

Boy... bet you are all kicking yourselves... you corrupt NEW democrats that tried to win by fixing and rigging a primary.

Could have voted for the BEST candidate of all- Hillary- but, no... you all were having so much fun bashing and trashing Hill.

You all thought you were so cool dividing the party and spewing vitriol and bigoted nasty comments.

Now you should worry... too many life long democrats, too many women- you know, the lifelong loyal base of the democratic party- have moved on.

I will always vote for Hillary. But Obama lost my vote when he decised to win by demeaning Hillary and by playing dirty politics.

Why does CNN not let ample comments come in about Palin? what is wrong with the screener's here? I'm starting to believe that you are bias also. Let the American people state there opinions on articles you post! as long as there is no profanity in the comment, let us speak!

why sometimes cnn say: SARA "BARRACUDA" PALIN and never write BARACK "HUSEIN" OBAMA, BARRACUDA IS NOT A MIDDLE NAME,BUT HUSEIN IS A REAL MIDDLE NAME TO MR OBAMA, BE NEUTRAL PLEASE.

President Clinton and Hillary will fight with the rest of we Democrats to CHANGE this Country-That's what we do- anyone who says they're for McCain because Hillary lost is either lying or crazy. Hillary stands for everything OPPOSITE of the gop. You guys need to let it go-

I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE A YOUNG SENATOR AS COMANDER IN CHEIF, AND A STRONG SECOND!!!!! i do not like wife cheaters in the oval office, especially when he was still married to carol while he was dating cindy!!!!!! BILL AND HILLARY WILL RALLY AROUND OBAMA AND BIDEN, YHEY WILL NOT CUT AND RUN.... ANYONE WHO DOESNT THINK MCBUSH AND BUSHY ARE NOY THE SAME WATCH FARENHEIT 9/11.THEY ARE BOTH WAR MONGERS!!!! BUSH HAS DESTROYED OUR CREDIBILITY ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!! you repubs should blame your own party for bankrupting our nation. miss pitbull sholud hop on her dog sled and go home, if they still want her and all the baggage that been brought out.. THE GLOVES COME OFF!!!!!!!!

mike September 7th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

WHY IS IT WHEN THERE IS CRITICISM OF OBAMA WE ARE ASKED TO MODERATE COMMENT WHILE THE OBAMA HIPPIES CAN SAY THE WORST THINGS ABOUT HILLARY OR MCCAIN
________________________________________
You don't have to comment. Why don't you go on over to mccains site and blog there?

The Obama/Biden ticket MUST pick up the pace on pushing back and exposing the McCain/Palin ticket for what it is - a combination of stale old biz as usual and extremist views. Let's get the Clinton's in the fray and let them do what they do best!!

I am a republican in heart but registered democrat, and i wanted hillary to be on top of the democrat ticket,i actually preferred her over McCain...McCain is an old Man who could die at any moment...I Felt bad for Hillary she fought so hard and to have the race took from her for what??? A Novice Black man???? I believe what propelled Brack was the Fact he was Black....And he can Speak well...To me thats just dumb to vote for someone for that reason alone....So i blame black america in general for this ridiculous Predicitment the democrat party is in...

If the Democrats want to win: UNinstall Obama and give the nomination to the woman who actually won it-

Bill- you and Hillary were the show at the convention. Without the two of you millions would not have bothered to watch Obama spend outlandish amounts of money just to glorify himself.

I think America already saw enough of him.

Peace to you and Hillary. I can not vote for Obama now. it would be to approve his dirty politics, it would be to reward the race card and the misogyny he so skillfully manipulated to his advantage.

I don't think anybody cares about the few hundred idiot Hillary supporters that haven't come over yet. Goodness knows Hillary thinks that the PUMAs are as much losers as anybody.

Bill and Hillary are going after McCain and his desire to continue the Bush legacy of more Americans dead in the desert, more maimed Americans being denied adequate veterans benefits, an awful economy, but a transition of America to a theocracy of radical religious right wackos where our new mullahs will be Dobson, Hagee and Robertson. Praise Jesus! (Or leave you non-believers and Jews).

Hillary is a sell off.

There is no time to be wishin' and hopin' for Hillary in 2012 and
it won't happen then, anyway. I am sure Obama will take care of
both Clintons.

Give him a chance. We NEED SUCCESS IN THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY. OR BUSH OR MCCAIN WILL HAVE IT UNTIL 2016.

ARE WE STUPID, DEMOCRATS! We will lose it ALL! America
will lose it all

8 years of Republicans, for crying out loud. Give the Democrats this year, and stop trying to act like that older brother who tells you that you can't do anything. Go Bill, and show them how it's done!

Thank heavens. The one person who can give Obama the best advice and professional guidance regarding the economy is Bill Clinton. If these two minds can work together we can truly expect to see our nation turn around.

You want to know what the difference between Palin and Bush?

Lipstick!

Yes John Smith
1.life of Christ did begin at, and as an immaculate conception.
2. Higher taxes do not necessarily mean more money for the poor. Where has Obama listed exactly where the money will be allocated.
3.Life is recognized by Catholics and most Christians to begin at conception, therefore maintaining the health of the mother and infant during the gestation period is every bit as critical as the care which should be afforded to the 5 pack cigarette smoker.
4. It would be great if you could point out Obamas great judgment accomplishments, since you point to Bushes record, but Bush is not running and clichés are useless, facts on accomplishments and great judgment do win votes.
6. Dems like President Clinton, JFK and Johnson certainly knew how to fight wars and some were actually lost by Dems.
7. Sucking a baby out of a mother and using the word moral do not equate. Basic moral beliefs are founded from the 10 commandments.
8. The constitution was founded with the 10 commandments as the base, such as it illegal to steal and kill.

THE WORLD LOVES OBAMA, PALIN AND MCCAIN ARE GOOD FOR NOTHING THEY NEED TO GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL, WE NEED WELL EDUCATED PEOPLE TO BE COMMAND AND CHIEF

Perhaps it's to talk about a possible role Bill might have in an Obama administration. There are some interesting possibilities.

Oh and to respond... nobody knows who will win. At best people can hope. Who knows. Maybe it will come out that McCain picked Palin because he likes young women. Well actually we already know that. But would he pick a VP with that in mind?

It's no secret that Bill Clinton is miffed with Obama. He probably wants to know why Obama has not made good on his promise to help Hillary retire her debt. After all she has done everything for Obama that she agreed to do. AND Obama's campaign was just crowing last week about raising $10 million in one day after Palin's speech. Obama expects an awful lot of the Clintons considering he hasn't exactly lived up to his end of the bargain (and considering his campaign called both of them racists and some of their supporters as well). I expect that false promises is exactly what we'll be seeing when he's prez. But at least he'll be popular.

This is good. I originally supported Sen. Clinton and am behind Sen. Obama now. Sen. Obama is a brilliant man, but he needs the counsel of those with experience. We must get this country back on track as a nation that puts its people and their needs, not corporate profits, first.

This is the morning after the storm. The Clitons have a chance to be bigger than anyone would possible think!
Who would you rather be? "A Pres. or the Pope!" Quote from a Prince song!

The Clinton have a chance to be in any cabinet post they chose in OB Admin.
In a Mcain-Palin admin. they won't get anything!
Palin would run for Pres. in 2012 and knock Hill out the box. If you like Hill? This is they way to help. Any other way, you was BSing about backing Hill!

Why does CNN keep comments in moderation FOREVER??!
Censorship perhaps? Leave it long enough and it will close for comments or be put way down the bottom where very few will see it.
We are not stupid!

President and Senator Clinton are the heart and soul of the Democratic party.Howard Dean,Nancy Pelosi and all the Obamanuts are radical left wing nuts who have temporally taken over the party.When Egobama loses in November they will all slink back to their slimy holes and Senator Clinton will run again in 2012 and win by a huge margin.If a poll was taken today including her name she would beat both Mccain and Obama.I will still vote for McCain to prevent Obama from winning in November.He will never get our votes.No matter how many lies he tells.He is scummerier than Bush and Cheney.

I hope Obama sends out both Hillary and Bill on the trail. We need to push McCain's buttons in hopes that his true colors come out. I am so sick of hearing about Palin. Obama needs to sic Hillary on her since shes hiding from doing any interviews.

I think it would be great if McCain gave Hillary a place in his administration.

Go clintons! You have won back my support and trust by putting our country first. We have way to much on the line!

Obama\biden 08

Sen. Obama had better check his food for Polonium... trusting the Clintons is as foolish as meeting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without conditions. I wonder what they'll talk about... I can imagine something from Bill Clinton like "Remember, just wag your finger emphatically, say 'I did NOT discuss politics or social policy with that man, Bill Ayers!' and look very stern into the camera". Maybe Hillary Clinton can offer some tips on hiding the Annenburg Challenge documents until after the election, similar to the mysterious case of the missing Whitewater paperwork.

Wow, i mean anyalyst were really right about unity coming to the Democratic party. As far as putting Hilary in a top Cabinet position, i think that goes without a doubt. Obama has already said he is going to push Hilary's universal healthcare! By the way, can anybody tell me what Mccain has vowed to do about Healthcare at all. I just have not heard anything on the issues of economy, healthcare, or jobs for that matter.
'

P.S. Bill and Hill and voting McCain 08

Why?

I like seeing the clintons and obama getting it all together. i like it

Do you suppose while they are having lunch that "The Obama" will apologize for: Letting his worshippers lable Bill Clinton a racist, or lable Geraldine Ferraro a racists, or for the sexist treatment of Hillary, or for not bothering to even act interested in her for the VP spot, or for spitting on Hillary by sending out his VP announcement at 3:00AM? Suppose he will apologize to the former President of the U.S. for any of that? Doubtful I would say........"The ONEs' level of arrogance rarely recognizes when they've done something wrong. Hillary 2012!!!!

Suddenly, You expect us to believe that the Clintons are relevant?

For 17 months Obama spit on their names and called them "old school."

Flip Flop Much Barry?

PUMA!!!

McCain/Palin '08

Obama is popular because he has a face for everyone. Berating the Clintons and their 8 years in office and now he is trying to usurp their success when he was revealed to be an empty suit. He and his surogates this past few days have tried to take credit as "democrats" for all of the Clinton's success after spending nineteen months belittling and criticizing the Clintons during the primariles. Hypocracy!!!!!

Obama will say anything just to hear a crowd shout out his name. Over the past two weeks I have noticed how Obama supporters are trained to chant "Obama," while McCain supporters chant "USA." Maybe what this election will decide is whether we are about the person (the United States of Obama) or our country (the United States of America).

If Obama can't win this election by himself, then he's completely useless. Go McCain/Palin 2008!

"and the former president has said he will campaign on Obama’s behalf but does not have any campaign events scheduled yet."

hillary clinton has already done more for the obama camp than is neccessary, and more than most primary candidates (who lost) have done. i think the media and those who think that hillary and bill need to campaign more for obama should lay off. hillary's speech at the convention was more than enough. and finally I'm sick of the media trying to make it seem like there is a rift between the clintons and obama.

Hey Mike,

one of the reasons CNN asks to moderate your comments is because they lean to the left. I'd be surprised if they even post my comment.

This is a move in the right direction and should have been done long ago. The Clinton's have to accept defeat graciously, move forward to help the Democrats get elected or this country is going to be in dire straits if the Republicans get in there again. This Palin has not been grilled like Obama and Clinton were grilled and I seriously doubt she can take the heat. We will have to see.

Give me a break john smith. you sound just like a them fake republicans thats all about themselves. good judgement over being wrong 95% of the time,obama was right.. you guys really think we are stupid,lol.. play that game somewhere else cause its not working here.

Perhaps they should campaign for what is better for the country, than what is better for their party and themselves.

Om nom nom. Lunch.

Send this Phantom back to Oprah.

She created that celebrity bandwagon that catapulted a man with no experience, no track-record, no accomplishments, no qualifications into the nominee of the democratic party.

This election is the MOST important election in decades- and Obama threw away the lifelong base of the party, spit on them and on Hillary.

Way to go democrats.

The Democratic Party is going to win this election. President Clinton and Hillary will help. We all understand the urgency of this election. Those who don't need to REALLY put Country first by electing someone who stands for what they SAY they do-
This is no time for spite and immature actions. Our Country's destiny is hanging in the balance.
I will look forward to seeing President Clinton on the stump and look forward to seeing Hillary in a high cabinet office or on the Supreme Court Bench!

Where is Sarah????

Lisa B: I have always been an obama supporter but I have always felt that she would be great over healthcare. I honestly believe that that has been his intention the entire time. GO DEMS!!!

Looks like Obama is getting desperate now that McCain has not only wiped clean his 8 point lead, but is now leading by 3 points in the polls. So it’s time to forgive and forget, and talk to the Clintons.

I don’t think it will help, people are starting to see Obama for what he is a liar and a hypocrite.

Its about time and a good sign for Democrats.

i am nervous about obama meeting Mccain in NYC, i don't trust these republicans. nor the clintons! i will hold my breath until the day after election nov 5, when obama is elected president, if not europe will be my next home.

McCOPY McCAIN IS NOW ONTO CHANGE WHEN HIS WARMONGERING PARTY SCREWED UP THE COUNTRY, ITS ECONOMY, ITS REPUTATION OVERSEAS IN EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE... WHAT A HYPOCRITE PRETENDING CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 8 YEARS OF THE SAME TO RUN HE COUNTRY TO THE GROUND TO MAKE THE USA A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY... OF COURSE, RACIST PALIN WILL BRING IN HER FUNDAMENTALISTS TO DO IT QUICKER....

Repubs be careful...my grandmother always said when you lay down with dogs...you get up with flees!

I am a strong hillary backer and now I support obama but I disagree with Lisa B about the olive branch to bill in particular. I, and many others, was disappointed with Bill particularly with his comments from SC and then recently when dodged the question of whether Barack was ready to serve. It's okay to have bruised feelings but he didn't act like a good sport and frankly the SC/Jesse jackson comparison was uncalled for, borderline racist. I would have expected more from him and I was disappointed.

I admire what Bill accomplished during his term but I disagree with his behavior. I think he needs to give himself to time to heal.

Senator Obama has created a rift with the Clinton's that can NEVER be healed.

Not only did he accuse them of being liars and thieves during the primary election cycle; he also selected Senator Biden as his running mate in spite of the fact that Hillary won more than 50% of the popular vote.

What an idiot this man is.

No way, NoBAMA!

Wake up America. It is time to have an intelligence President back in the White House. It is not personality, style or war.

It is about the American People.

I think that Sentor Obama is going to one of the greatest Presidents of our 21st Century. A breath of fresh air.

Yes We Can, Yes We Will Change American to a better Country!!

GetReady

The Clintons have done everything they can do to help Obama. The bottom line Obama does not relate to everyday Americans the way the Clintons do.
Nothing Obama can do about that so I hope he is not bitter

If the Clinton Machine comes together with the Obama machine this election is over. Period. It'll be like a tank vs a VW bug. Though it's not like McCain was going to win anyway.

i am nervous about obama meeting Mccain in NYC, i don't trust these republicans. nor the clintons! i will hold my breath until nov 5, when obama is elected president, if not europe will be my next home.

This shows that how much Obama still needs the Clintons. He made a poor decision to select Biden as his running mate. He will not win this election without the help of the Clintons. He is too WEAK.

The Clintons are greatest democrats ever ! Both Bill and Hillary are doing everything to unity the party and to help Barack win the election in november. If Hillary Clinton was the nomanee, she would have had DOUBLE DIGIT lead over McCain by now. I just have to say, DNC made a huge mistake by giving nomination to Obama instead to Hillary Clinton. Obama will need both Clintons in order to win in November, otherwise, BYE BYE OBAMA

If McCain/Palin wins, America will only be a heartbeat away from becoming Idiocracy.

Obama believes life begins at conception. Of Course he does.
He needs to clarify that statement, basically, stating that Only GOD
KNOWS. We do know, right Mr. Obama???? I know!!!

This is a big factor..................................Obama was "pandering" on
the Rick Warren show. He needs to clear this one up!!!!! His little
girls, they began at CONCEPTION. And for those of you that want
the right to choose, then choose!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden

Looking forward to seeing Hillary Clinton in Kississimmee, FL on Monday. Go Democrats!

No way, no how, no McCain-Palin

Obama/Biden '08

I hope race is not a factor for these undecided voters not coming out for Obama. He has done everything to prove he is for America. How in God's name can anyone who have been living these last eight years, not see the mess we are in. Now the same people that have had they way with our lives in Washington try to dress up their lies and tell us they are going to do it better this time, just because they have a woman on the ticket. Ladies please don't be fooled. We have let two foxes run the hen house long enough. Judge Obama not for his skin color but by his deeds.

McCain's special formula for winning any arguement is to play the victim. When a reporter is asking him something he doesn't want to talk about, he'll bring up his POW experience. That throws them off every time.

When talking about his affair with Cindy and how he left his wife and three kids, he said that happened 30 years ago. Well, the POW experience happened 35 years ago, and he's still talking about that. He'll talk about that forever if it will get him another vote. But the affair, oh no, not that.

Don't allow McCain to make a fool out of you and the country.

Obama/Biden 08

Obama now realizes that he absolutely needs the Clinton's and that the far left wing of the Democratic party is the reason that Obama is tanking now.

Hillary said it would be a fight, and Obama talked about his speech. Hillary said it would take experience and that the Republican's would need to be taken on. Obama talked about a war vote. Hillary had actual policies fleeced out and detailed. Obama said, yeah, I like the way that sounds...me too. Hillary actually worked in defeating Republican's and the 1st Bush regime. Obama did community organizing and pal'd up w/ Tony Rezko.

Obama, now leading nationally by only 1 point due to his innefectual bounce, is now interested in talking to the Clinton's. I say the Clinton's should just MoveOn down the road, and let Obama and the far left idealogues clean up their own disaster, and mistakes, that most of us saw comin' from miles away.

Great job Barry.....Great job.

No way, now how, No Mcain. I cant stand the arrogance of this foolish republican, I served in the Military. in the military we all bound together in the same fraternity of oneness and we all bleed the same.

but for Stupid Mcinsane to portray himself as a war hero? I would suggest him to take a walk on any street, he would see the real war hero languishing in poverty and pain because of the foolish policies he supported with Bush

It is interesting the number of silly comments that seem to get posted regarding these various articles and moves between the Clintons and the Obama campaign.

I began supporting Obama after Hillary went negative and derogatory. I don't "hate" the Clintons, but I do think they could and should step up and out to help the Democratic party reach its fullest potential and I believe Obama needs to eat a little crow and allow them to step in to a degree.

McCain is attempting to steal the show with Palin and is attempting to turn the Obama message into his own. If there was ever a time for Obama to turn into a bulldog, it is now. And if he can't do that, then he needs to utilize those with guts and gumption who will. Having said that, there isn't any reason why Bill Clinton cannot step out on his own and help accomplish some of that.

As of this evening, McCain has moved AHEAD of Obama in the polls.

I hope Howard Dean is reading about it.

Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are the pride of any Christian who has read The Book of Matthew.

Thank you, once again, President Clinton, for going out of your way on behalf of the country and we the people. There is obvious mutual respect for each other, you and Barack, and you certainly share a pool of wonderful skills and traits this nation needs.

It would be so great to have you on the Supreme Court, sir, and Sen Clinton in the Cabinet, with President Obama. Sen Clinton could be so much more effective as a Cabinet member than as VP or as a junior senator.

Sen Biden and Sen Obama both involved in teaching Constitutional Law-that should take the Justice Department by shock! Obama 2008!!!

I dislike Obama's health care plan- NOTHING is worse than a Universal Health Care plan that is NOT Universal.

That means that responsible people will keep on paying for the Health care costs of the irresponsible people who choose to opt out of paying for Insurance.

I will ONLY vote for Hillary's plan- I do not mind the poor receiving health care for free, or getting credits to pay... BUT those people- like myself- who can afford Health Insurance should have to pay for it.

We must have Homeowners insurance and Car insurance- and those things are less valuable than our health. We are willing to pay for those but not for health care.

Universal Health care means EVERYone pays in (according to their income means) and EVERYone is covered. No other plan gets my vote.

Boo Ha Ha Ha. The Democrats are starting their meltdown to November. The angry crazed Clintonians versus the Children of the Corn Obamites = great entertainment. The Dems are truely a party of disconnected loons.

Vice-President Sarah Palin.....Get use to it, you nutty people.

Hey John Smith...In the name of Christianity The Republicans lied about WMD in Iraq and they are responsible for more that 300,000 Iraq lives...including women and children. And guess what? After all said and done, The Iraqs want America out of their country.
Gotta love them Right Wing Christians!!!!!

With McCain closing the gap in the polls, Obama better get Bill & Hillary out there campaigning, after he clears out her debt, of course!

Sure seems like alot more energy and excitement coming from the Republican ticket.

we are united... this republican turned democratic girl is pro obama!

I hope Bill and Barack come out of that lunch with a plan to fight the McCain Ticket so hard they won't know what hit them. I am so appalled and angry that after 8 years of hell, 1/2 of this nation would vote for 4 more. My god, what is wrong with people? Don't you all know the abortion issue is a tease the repubs gleefully use every election? They will never overturn Roe V Wade as long as the Evangelicals are around.

Obama/Biden '08

“HE’S A HERO, HE SERVED HIS COUNRTY”
Republicans act as if McCain was the only POW; no he was the only POW that the then Republican party embraced. (Pictured with Nixon..."I am not a crook.") It is an insult to so many young man (now senior citizen) that retuned from Vietnam and had no where to go; no home, no job, no father that was an Admiral. Most just had bad addictions to drugs and faced long lines at Veteran hospitals. This is what needs to be address and provisions need to be made so the veterans that return wherever this war is over don't face the problems that "normal "Americas did at the end of the Vietnam conflict. This is just another reality that McCain just "DOESN'T GET”

Thank God for Unity of OUR PARTY. Thank you to Bill Clinton.
Thank you to Hillary Clinton. Our Country and Obama needs your
support.

It would be a travesty should the Republicans win this election.

In listening to dateline this evening, I am truly shocked what
Bob Woodward, one of the most respected Authors on Politics,
has written in his books, THE WAR WITHIN.

Mr. George Bush, Pres. of the U.S. did not do well for our Country
made the biggest mess imaginable! More years with the Republicans
in the white house would be the gravest sin committed in our Country
by Bush and the Bounty of Republicans on his "team".

I cannot excuse Bush, Cheney, McCain, and the newscasters and
radio talk show hosts that are "horrible people" who believe it is
o.k for our country to continue on this path of destruction. i.e, Hannity
Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and we are a country of fools that believe
these evil people.

Catholics, Evangelicals, think twice, three times before you vote
for MORE OF THE PAST.

Palin is just a pretty face and Maverick is not going to listen to her.

NO WAY, NO MCCAIN. NO NO PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT JUST CANNOT HAPPEN!!!!

This election is somewhat amusing. The McCain/Palin camp has jumped on the bandwagon of being for CHANGE. How ridiculous is this. Its almost like follow the leader (leader being Obama/Biden). McCain/Palin are not for change. They are for current policy. Palin didn't turn down the money for the bridge to "No Where". She took the money, but for "other" purposes. She hasn't stood up to Washington. Such a fake and a liar. And if she doesn't want to hang with the "big dogs" then she needs to get off the porch. She's fair game when it comes to the media, smear campaigning, and anything else a man running for VP office would be subjected to. Her popularity will dim as the election draws near. Especially when all the "goods" come out on her. She's not the squeaky clean soccer mom that she portray's. I'm interested in seeing what is going to be brought out of the vault next.......STAY TOONED AMERICA

The Clintons will unite behind Obama. Any Hillary supporter who thinks he or she can sit out this election and then have Hillary successfully win in 2012 is naive. The next president will be a two-term president.

Obama would have been criticized no matter whom he chose for V.P. Taking Hillary Clinton would have made him look like he wasn't man enough to stand on his own. Oops! I guess that's what McCain decided to do by rushing in Sarah Palin when he started to feel like he was going to lose. The reality is that Obama, debatable experience and all, blindsided everyone. If he had lost to Senator Clinton, she would not have offered him the V.P. spot either. Things happen for a reason. I am glad to see the Clintons come together for the good of their party and principles. If Senator Clinton's REAL supporters would do the same, there's probably no doubt that she's going to get one of the most important positions in the cabinet that will benefit us all.

Not voting for Obama just because you're angry is like cutting off your own foot. Yes, maybe he cut his off too, but God has a plan and it certainly isn't for Republicans to continue to screw us while smiling in our faces. Anybody who lets anger and resentment blind them to the realities we face deserves whatever they get. Any woman who will vote for McCain just because Hillary didn't win wasn't a REAL supporter anyway. Maybe they'll enjoy moose hunting, watching 10-year-old rape victims like the child in Ohio have to carry and give birth to a baby while being a foster child herself. Certainly they'll get a kick out having themselves and their children systematically driven into poverty while Cindy McCain models her $300,000 ensembles in front of them. GOOD FOR YOU, BILL AND HILLARY, FOR REMEMBERING IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT YOU!!!

I would like CNN to research on the number of colleges the Republican VP went to for one undergraduate degree. Did I hear 6 colleges?

Are there any other American POWs in the republican party, or is there just one POW who needs to be rewarded for his sufferings for America?

to Mike who said earlier that Hillary will win in 2102???? 2102??? what are you talking about? this is not just a typo, it proves are confused you are. Hillary is already on board with Obama and so is the vast majority of Hillary supporters with a brain. You are one of the very few who continue to wonder around with no agenda.
Viva all the former Hillary supporters who joined Obama and many more on their way to support the real chance candidate. I just hope you consider the issues when you cast your vote.

Obama all the way!!!

Sounds like some ring kissing is about to happen in NYC.

Americans didn't buy that experience line from John, so he switched to Barack's theme of change. McCain watched the entire Democratic Convention and said, "Why can't we do the same thing". This is not a maverick, but a moucher. He hasn't had a new idea since the 1970's. I hope America doesn't fall for the geezer and the Gidget.

America wants real change, not change some multi-millionaire with so many houses he can't count them, thinks we need.

He's just like Bush, when the press is getting too close to the truth, he goes into hiding or says, we're not talking about that anymore. Let's face it, idiots voted for Bush twice and where has it gotten us–$4.00 a gallon for gas. Brilliant.

Anybody see 60 Minutes? Seems Bush may have called in McSame about backing the surge CUZ there was a little "secret" nobody else knew! Maybe the surge isn't the ONLY reason the war is turning..... hummmmm...............................

I smell Rove (and I'm holding my nose)

The democratic October surprise....dump Biden for Hillary.

What happened to all the Obama bashers, Instead of screaming their hatredfor the Clinton's they are talking nice nice. I don't believe that Clinton's can now pull his chestnuts out of the fire. With McCain now leading in the polls and when you factor in a "Bradley" effect, even a small one, he is a big time loser.They will be going after Sarah Palin and accusing her of being a community organizer. And as bad as that is it still will not turn the tide. Obama is a serial flip flopper who will do or say anything to sway a vote.

Where's the 15 point bump the GOP promised me?
What a sack of McCrap the GOP has become.

I DEMAND A PRESIDENT WHO CAN THINK ! ! ! !

LET THEM TAKE AN I.Q. TEST AND DECIDE.

My money's on Obama '08

16 years of Winter, GOP ! ! ! !

To all you good people who hated the Clintons,trashed Hillary in ever way you could,now you wan,y them on Obama side..I thank it to late now..I am a demo never voted for a rep. before no matter where obama promises to put the clinton if he win he will not get my vote..this party has went to pot,and I hope obama looses big time nov. 4 we all but beg you to put Hillary on your ticket but you dumped cold water in our face..now we will pay you back

Too bad Bill is too much the gentleman and too great a democrat to tell Obama what Obama needs to hear.

Obama is arrogant, boastful, cocky, derisive, sexist, dismissive, demeaning, condescending, pandering, unqualified, inexperienced, full of himself and sneaky.

He now has shifted his positions to be identical to Hillary and/or McCain: He supports NAFTA but votes For FISA, he is now for off-shore drilling, he will no longer cut tax on the wealthy, He may or may not meet with our enemies... Obama flip flops so much that no one knows what he stands for anymore.

AWESOME, UNITED WE STAND AND UNITED WE WILL WIN.

To all Dem. I am a long time Bill Clinton supporter and worked on both his run for the White House. I also support Hillary, Now is the time we united and Support Obama, It is for the sake of our country and children future that we do not let the Republican continue to sale us out to the world. We all feel safer with Dem. incharge rather then the wreckless, I am very afraid for my children and family with republicans incharge. I feel they will send our children off to fight for oil and other thing that benefit there lobbist and corporations rather then human rights and our national security. We are only pawn to the Republicans Party

Thank you Bill! Obama is going to need all the help he can get from you and Hillary. Please help him win...I supported Hillary and was thinking of voting McCain but their speeches at the convention and McCains choice of Palin sealed the deal, Obama-Biden 08!! If we don't elect them, god help me, you and our country!

To Obama suppoters if you want the WH, make peace with Clinton loyalist!

The DNC turned their back on Hillary and now they want my vote – NOT! The RNC has opened the door for us, they will get my vote. The puma group was right all along. I don't trust Obama and Biden was a presidential wash-out, many times over.
If Obama needed the Clintons so desparately he should have treated her with some respect and dignity.

He did not want her as VP, but now he expects her campaign.

Mike....

Well if Obama loses then it will be guaranteed that Hillary will lose in 2012. We must stop this inner party fighting...!!!

Obama wants and needs Hillary supporters JUST AS Hillary will want and need Obama supporters!!!

As the saying goes..."Don't cut off your nose to spite your face!"

If McCain and Palin do get in, nothing will happen. The Democratic Congress will give them the coldest shoulder they've ever seen. First McCain is a liar and will not change anything. Why should he, he's comfortable and didn't think we had a problem. The only thing that will change is the soldiers deployment. They will have to go to Georgia. Palin will still be on the learning curve, and will be regulated to the Dan Quayle School of Dont' Say Too Much.

The only thing McCain wants to change is his address.

Obama/Biden 08

Lunch? Bring a food taster.

well, just as long as bill clinton keeps his opinions to himself,,, and really supports obama,,,, this is a guy no one can trust,,, even hillary,, i saw a site that had lots of really "not safe stuff" about the clintons, and i DO NOT turst them... they are like they always were and that is ,,,,, they will do anything they can to get what they want,,,,ummmmm support and dont lie,,,,,,,,,

Vote for Hope!! Vote for Change!! Vote for Obama/Biden '08!!

Hey Bill... after you eat, please barf all over the arrogant Obama for putting his own ego ahead of the good of the party.

I am now rooting for Obama to fall flat on his smug, arrogant, bragging, cocky face.

America is tired of this demagogue.

Bill Clinton said he was supporting Obama and he is showing his support. Obviously he needed time after that long campaign but he is back and ready to roll. I hope that Obama can use Bill in many of those states where he did so well when he was campaigning for Hillary.
By the way Is anyone else getting tired of these PUMA people? The Republicans can manage to unite after a much more bitter campaign(they are Republicans after all). This group, and whoever is funding them, is a tiny thorn- very irritating. Fortunately I think that most people realize that they are just a few people who are trying to disrupt and divide Democrats for their own nefarious reasons.

As a Christian the thought that the inexperienced, dishonest and frankly strange Sarah Palin might be President. Scares me as much as the war monger , bitter , flash tempered McBush. When she says the Iraq war is God's plan it gives me chills and not chills of patriotism.
If the Iraq war were God's plan it would only be because it was one step closer to Armageddon and if that excites Palin then she is as insane as the Iran Mullahs who are trying to bring about the same thing. With Iran on one side and Palin/McBush on the other, WW3 can be the only possible result. I pray that God gives us a man of peace and reason with an even temper in these oh so dangerous times.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. " ~ Albert Einstein

Vote for Hope!! Vote for Change!! Vote for Obama/Biden '08!!

They will even exploit 9/11 for some political headline grabbing. Democrats sicken me to no end!

It's time to take the gloves off and make the McCain campaign the CAMPAIGN–TO–NOWHERE.

People First–Yes We Can.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." ~Albert Einstein

Vote for Hope!!! Vote for Change!!! Vote for Obama/Biden '08!!!!

Yes Bill & Hillary, please help us out! We need you and we will always love you!!!
I have never seen such ugliness and hatefullness by a group of people in my life.!!!
I realize no one is perfect, but with your help we will pull this off.
I think Obma & Biden did excellent on the Sunday AM shows. I also saw where Obama showed a little humbleness-that impressed me more than anything. Bill, you get out there and point that finger & Hillary you get out there and put a leash on that pittbull!! Tastefully of course.
JD

Obama talks too much. This IS the real Campagin. Everything the candidates say is either a sound bite that can advance their campaign or be used to as push back against their campaign. This sit down confessionals have to stop. This type of confessional or conversational interviews are for pre-primary interviews and even then you have to be careful. Obama's campaign people are not serving him well. He needs to have set responses for each issue.

I was not a Clinton supporter throughout the primaries, but Bill is making me takw a second look. I hope he and Barack can get along. The Clintons can help Barack clinch the deal and Barack can help Barack mend the fences with blacks.

Obama/Biden = America.

Secret meetings are not enough. Obama needs to apologize directly and publicly to all Dems on this country for tarnishing the record of Bill Clinton, the race-baiting, and for standing by in silence while his minions totally trashed Hillary Clinton. Then he has to start convincing us he is experienced enough and has the judgment to be POTUS. He could start by doing those town halls with McCain and also releasing all his medical records, school transcripts, everything people are asking for. Lack of transparency is seen as an indication that there is something to hide.

All the hate stuff needs to go by the wayside and you need to vent all that energy on getting the vote out and making sure you live up to your expectations and just go vote. Stop with the ugly stuff and just support.

Bill Clinton is a great man and will add much to the campaigning of Barack. Hillary will have a big part in an Obama administration. Looking forward to seeing both Bill and Hillary on the road.
No way can we have MCPainlin in the Whitehouse. It would set our nation back 50 years.

No way, Now how, No McPainlin...Thanks but No Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Watch out McCain...

Sarah is now after your job and you don't even have it yet...

BEWARE OF THE BARRACUDA!!!

Wow.... after the way Obama repeatedly trashed Bill's presidency and attacked Hillary in unfair and nasty ways.

After Obama labeled the Clintons as racists- just so Obama could gain support among AAs.

Even after stealing the nomination from Hillary.

I hope this puts an end now and forever to the vile and vicious rumors and accusations that the Clintons were only for themselves.

If that were true... they would Barack sink all by himself- after all it was Obama's dirty campaigning, his race-baiting and his own arrogance that damaged the democrats chances to win this year.

Obama will make history as the selfish self-serving ruthless politician who LOST the election for the democrats by playing dirty and stealing the nomination.

Bill can tell him how to put Palin away for good!

Good. They can discuss how to best put the nail in the McCain/Palin coffin. These two turkeys are done.
I can not wait to watch Obama get sworn in and watch Bushwipe board the plane to high tail it outta there. War crimes trials anyone?

why would bill clinton meet with obama? obama will never get my vote he did Hillary clinton to bad..how could she even wan,t her people to vote for him,after he treated her like trash,,i mean like trash..now it time for her people to send this party a message.."you don,t pick for the women" you made us angry at you obama and now we will pay you back nov.

More than anything else, this election is about the issues. We need healthcare and an end to the constant outsourcing of jobs. The war needs to end and the economy is in desperate need of help. Hillary will be a key person in the Obama administration and we need her and Bill as well. We can't take the risk of McCain and Palin looking out for their good 'ol boys and girls once they're in office. We need a capable, competent woman and not just a PTA mom. Obama brings the party and the country together and will be a president for ALL Americans and not just the wealthy few. This election is not a personality contest; it's about the issues.

Hillary, please dont support him...he (Obama) needs to accept the consequences for not picking you as a running mate......Just wait til 2012....My vote instead of being urs is now Palins.

Bill will tell Obama how to tame the pitbull even with lipstick. She is so afraid of the media or afraid of what people will find out about her.I just want them to leave her family alone and stick with the issues. We can win a good clean campaign without all the dirty politics.

Bill can tell him to put Palin away for good!

Since both sides have recently decided to scale back the national push and focus on the electoral for the home stretch, I imagine this will be about Bill and Hill hitting the small town pockets in battleground states. I think Obama will let Hill own the healthcare plan, and Bill will promise to go to small, white, conservative towns that are ga-ga over Palin and let the people know they are being played.

This guy named Mike posting comments is a Republicans and trying to divide the Dems. McBush will lose.................

At the Rebublican Convention they all shouted drill drill drill , did they mean kill kill kill .Somebody needs to stop these crazy oil vampires before they kill our next generation with smog.Is it true that 80% of the oil from alaska is exported to china?.

Democrats unite! We don't need pandering McCain and his unqualified VP in office (i.e. 5 colleges in 6 years).

Ohioan; i totally agree as a former Hillary supporter it would have been no contest with Hillary, unfortunately because of Obama she won't see the light of day.

Obama's campaign is in trouble already, he's going to need all the help he can get!

Squish him like a bug Clinton!

Hillary Clinton is running for reelection as a U.S. senator in New York and President Clinton is busy with his humanitarian work and his foundation, but if Obama is elected he would do well to put her in his cabinet. I'm not sure what President Clinton would want to do in the cabinet, if anything. I think the private lunch between Obama and President Clinton is a terrific first step in healing their rift. Good job in suggesting it, President Clinton.

Mike, we know you're not for a Hillary, and definately not a Democrat. You're just a republican troll trying to keep the division within the Dem party because having unity within the Democrat party will lead to McCains defeat.

Obama/Biden
Hillary – SOS
Bill – Cabinet position

PS – Mike all comments are moderted, I've only had a couple of mine posted and I've submitted dozens.

If Bill Clinton gets out into some of the toss up states, he will likely (no one knows for sure about anything) pull a lot of support to Obama. Together with the Democrats gaining in registered voters and the Republicans falling behind gives Obama the theoretical edge. It's his election to lose.

Obama has destroyed the democratic party with his inspirational speeches that attracted nothing but vocal, bigoted, sexist, divisive democrats.

Never has any democrat done so much to divide the party and to advance himself by agitating vulgar and insulting supporters into a cult like frenzy AGAINST fellow democrats.

Apparently Obama was afraid Hillary might overshadow him if SHE were the VP so he went with the antithesis of change. Another old white man in washington.

McCain had the courage to risk it all.

Obama may manage to lose this UNLOSABLE election- the election that NO democrat could lose and no Republican could win.

"GO HILLARY 2102"

Hahahaha! That'd make her 155 years old. Talk about an old candidate.

wake-up Palin is G.W. in drag
Note:
On Saturday, former Bush speechwriter David Frum wrote on his National Review blog, "George W. Bush had very slight executive experience before becoming president. His views were not well known. He won the nomination exactly in the same way that Palin has won the hearts of so many conservatives: by sending cultural cues to convince them that he was one of them, understood them, sympathized with them. So that made everything else irrelevant in 2000 – as it seems again to be doing in 2008

bill clinton knows how to beat the republicans

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

it's called Obama before the party and maybe Bill wants to explain the facts of politics to him

It's sad that McCain isn't able to draw more to the cause on his own merit and that the RNC used racial code language and lies to further divide and "red meat" what needs to be more sane, mature and conscious situation.

Oh now you praise Hillary and Bill. You liberals should be ashamed of yourself. During the primaries all i read was negative comments about Hillary and Bill, but it all seem forgotten now. I was and still am a Hillary supporter and always remember all the trash that was said about Hillary and Bill coming from liberals so called progressive people.

the Clintons have been crooks all their lives ,and their friends died suspously ,and now they are sleeping with a know muslim

Obama has stated that HRC will fill an important role in his administration. I was thinking initially health care too but she's be a superb secretary of state as well. I think it's going to be her call. And I think both she and BC will be discussing this w/Obama.

Mike – I really don't think she'll be around to run in 2102.

vote obama-biden 2008!!!!!!!!!

Courage to be honest
Hard Work
Accountable to the American People
New ideas to grow the economy
Genuiness in building working partnerships
Energy Independence

Obama / Biden 08'

Ohioan, you're right; the difference between Hillary and Palin is night and day. Palin climbed up to be governor on her own merits. Hillary got where she is because of who she married. There is no way should would have been elected Senator if she didn't have the Clinton last name.

To the Hillary supporters: Obama has extended the olive branch several times to the Clintons so please give him credit where credit is due. However, I do agree that Hillary should have a major position in his administration as we the country will need all talented people working together for the good of the country. Hillary has a lot to offer and I think she will lead a major change in the US.

I totally t hink and have thought all along that Obama had a cabinet position ready for Hilary.
I also think that both Obama and McCain should stay away from ground zero on 9/11. This race has been made to ugly by the Republican convention and the nonstop vitriol spouted by Giuliani, Palin, Romney, and most of all "I have bene on the campaign trail 6 days and know it all" Palin. It will be a sham for them to be at this tragic place together.

I have no use for Democratic party "unity" no matter who's talking the baloney. I gave up on all of them May 31st when the DNC Rules Committee arbitrarily handed the nomination to Obama, their annointed one, after which I switched my party affiliation to Republican. I am done with the Democrats. They are not to be trusted.

Now the only "unity" I care to see is the unity of the McCain-Palin ticket.

Maverick-Barracuda – 2008! The TRUE ticket for change!

Obama needs the Clintons to go all out . If I'm him , I'd dispatch the Clintons to Inidiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Michigan and Texas. All egos need to be checked at the door

This is a good move for Obama.

He needs to energize the base even more than he has.

Regarding the recent National polls showing a bounce for McCain, remember that these are weekend polls. Weekend polls tend to favor Republicans because many of the younger Democratic counterparts are not home during the weekend to be polled.

This is an especially germane point for THIS campaign season because more young people have registered to vote than in prior elections.

All You Hillary supporters that still believe she was "robbed" and are voting for McCain/Palin...

Go ahead, cut off your nose to spite your face. That'll teach 'em!

You'll really regret your decision when you start seeing what this pair and their fanatic band of blind followers really think of women if they win.

I have great respect for the Clintons, and I'm quite sure Obama does too. For electability reasons, I wish he had chosen Hillary for his VP–this would have saved us from the Palin nonsense. But I actually believe that there are better ways for Hillary Clinton to use her skills in an Obama administration, and I also think that if Obama is elected Hillary will be president someday–and at that point the Clinton "baggage" (which made some people nervous this time around) will no longer exist.

I truly fear, however, that Hillary's supporters will get McCain elected; the irony will be that this could easily guarantee that Palin, not Clinton, becomes our first woman president. What a cruel thing Hillary Clinton's supporters will have done to the woman they admire!

If Obama looses, Hillary will too! She will need the Black vote to win, and we won't support her!

democrats unite

Look Up Americans and pull yourselves out of the gutter where the GOP Party has dumped us for the last 8 years in Office!! Let,s get alone without them and put the DNC in the Oval Office and kick them to the curb!!! They are stealing Obama,s ideals of Change... because they have none of their own!!!! Americans are not stupid and most of us can know a Phoney when we see and hear one!!!!! only a Change We Can Believe In Will Do this Time!!!!!!! OBAMA // BIDEN 08

Bill, thank you...i thnk that you can impart much of your wisdom to Obama, and, Obama is such an intelligent person he would be more than wiling to accept and respect any advise and stategies you could throw his way. Obama is a man that respects and listens to all good people around him. So, between you and Hillary, and all the other extremely smart people, he shoudl win a landslide. NO HOW, NO WAY ..NO MCCAIN

I still think it was a bad decision for Obama to go with Biden over Clinton...especially not that McCain has gone with the anti-christ...I mean Palin. Sorry about that. Anyway...Hopefully Obama will get smart real quick and appoint Hillary to something fast...'cuz if he doesn't...I'm afraid McCain and the anti-...I mean Palin will get in. Just my thoughts!!!

It's not Obama that's so obnoxious, it's ObamaNation . . . better eat some crow quick or it's over.

This doesn't mean anything. We all know that the Clinton's are doing this to look good in the party's eyes....We all know that Hillary want's Obama to loose so she can run again in 2012. The Dem's are now dreaming they had Hillary as their candidate!

My mother was born in 1905, I was born in 1940. At the age of 12 (1952) my mother sat me down and told me that she hoped I would live up to the standards she and my father had set. However, she also said that she could not be with me 24 hours a day and that there may be a time when my emotions would override my commen sense. She said there is a drug store on every corner. Never bring a child into this world until you can spend the rest of your life raising and loving it, and more importantly make sure you protect yourself from disease. Quite a statement from someone born some 60 years before ERA and NOW, I was very fortunate that my parents put braces on my teeth, not on my brains. Sarag Palin would seem to be a throw back to the dark ages – never mind about her daughter's pregnancy, what about her health? I was not an Obama supporter, but I sure will vote for him now.

Mike, take the caps lock off or you risk sounding like an angry loser.

Thank you to the Clintons!

mccain will lose so bad in this election it will hurt!!!!

It's too late for Obama to be addressing the Clintons! Obama thought he could be president without her on the ticket – shame on him for being so selfish – and losing 18 million of her supporters. Good on McCain for having the insight and confidence to select a female VP.
McCain is truly the change agent.

Maybe they talked about dumping Joe "The Scruffy kid from Scranton" and replacing him with Hillary since they have no way of countering Sarah Palin.

"Do not ask for Whom the Bell Tolls...it tolls for thee."

The popular vote is only going to be close due to people ignoring their best interests and voting to keep making the rich richer. 51% of us have to get it right so that 98% benefit.

Visit electoral-vote dot com for some encouraging info.

Go Obama / Biden!

Obama needs the big guns. I am a Hillary supporter who will not vote for Obama. The Clintons should not help him at all. Didn't he call Bill a racist? Didn't he and the DNC disregard half ot the democratic base? He said he didn't think she could get his supporters, but was sure he could get her supporters, well, here is one he won't get. The polls are getting tighter everyday. Too little, too late for Mr. Ego. He is not qualified to be POTUS. The Dems. are now comparing the opponents VP candidate to their Presidential candidate. That does not bode well for the DNC. Everyone seems to agree both McCain and Biden are qualified. If McCain should die, won't Sarah need a VP? She could then get a Senior Senator to be her guiding light, just as Obama has.

Peace.

Bill is a pretty smart guy...so is Hillary ...so is Barack.

This lunch is a good thing, if a shared culinary experience qualifies as diplomacy within the Democratic party. Personally I would like to see Obama meeting with the likes of Robert Reich, who actually constructed most of the policies that happened under the Clinton administration.

Very few of these political power-houses are the architects of their policy. I want to see the architects tapped, not the just figureheads.

You know all these people wanting Obama to loose and say Hilary 2012, that is not going to happen. If Obama looses to McCain, then dont you think that Sarah will run in the next election? People get real and think about what you are saying!!

Obama 08/12

I would really like to understand how anyone who backed Hillary could even consider backing the McCain/Palin ticket. The thought never even crossed my mind nor the minds of my many friends who were loyal supporters and financial contributors of Hillary. The cost of making a point is not worth it - our civil liberties are at stake. Even if you are not crazy about the Democratic ticket, it is still the ticket that gives us the greater chance of finding a way out of this economic mess that we are in, ensuring that the next Supreme Court judges are men and women who will uphold the Constitution, and restoring our place as a respected nation in the world. I am very confused by anyone who would be willing to jeapordize any of the above to make a point. I took Hillary at her word and believe that she meant what she said - this was not about her nor any one person, this is about our party, our country, and our best hope for the future. Confused in Maryland....

Thank you President Clinton. I'm looking forward to good things from you and Hillary not just in the next two months but in the Obama administration as a whole.

The republicans are united. Democrats and Independents lets unite!!!

Hillary does have campaign events already scheduled

Tampa, FL 9/8/2008 at 5:00 PM

We need to shut the door on GOP spin machine and get back to the issues: economy, energy, healthcare, science, innovation, outfitting our troops and honoring their service, regain internation relations and respect, corporate governance, fair taxes that place greater burden on those made rich by Bush, ending favoritism and lobbying influences. GOP is bereft of morale authority to lead on any of these issues. Bill and Obama give us a clear message on these issues. Let's roll!

the spirit is for 9 11...and nothing ELSE o bama you threw away the CLINTONS for BIDEN.......WHY DON'T YOU GET OPRAH FROM TRINITY CHURCH........i hear she's being boycotted by FLORIDA

Mr. Obama, I think both the CLinton's are now with you, but take a food tester...just in case.

I would like to add that I am shocked on the lack of reporting on Palin's background. So what if she is not going to answer the media's questions? That is all the more reason to inform us on the things she is unwilling to talk about.

After all the constant reporting done on the sermon by Obama's preacher while Obama was not even present, why is no one discussing the speech given April of this year where terrorist attacks in Israel were describe as punishment on the Jews by God for not believing in Christ? And Palin was IN the church at the time?

What about her inquiring as to how to have books banned form the PUBLIC library when she was Mayor?

What about the complete lie she told at the convention about selling her Jet on Ebay? She sold it to a Republican and took a loss.

Get to work!

Hello everyone. Obama and the Clintons have something in th works. Whatever the polls say, don't worry. Just make sure to call friends and family, especially in the swing states to get them to register and vote. Most states you need to register soon. WE cannot afford another 4-8 years of this garbage. Smarten up people.

Oh, now you want Hillary to help Obama, a little to late he should have put her on the ticket, not very good judgement on his part . He was afraid Hillary would over shadow him, well now you have Sarah over shadowing him, he deserves to lose. I would have voted for Hillary but not Obama. Please no nasty remarks I'm a Independent and vote for the person I think will do the best job. McCain/Palin2008.

Too bad the Hillary supporters are not united. I will never unite behind Obama. Buy Obama's memoir and you'll see why Obama should not be elected.

PUMA

All democrats need to pull together more than in anytime in our history. we face a future of destructive wars for the glory of a twisted old man and economic depression at the hands of the two most clueless self serving politicians in decades.

People let's take a deep breadth and take off our partisan hats for a moment. Hill's chances of running for President in 2012 is better if Obama loses to John McCain. There is a high possibility at that time that she'll run against Sarah P, basically guaranteeing that either way there'll be a woman President in the WH. The Clintons know this and that's the modus operandi of Hill's PUMAs (go read their blogs; vote McCain now to ensure Clinton runs in 2012). So all the Clintons have to do now is to ensure that nothing they do publicly raises a red flag that is construed as not helping Obama with the elections, like having lunch. You see why this is looking like the end of the road for "Media President" Barrack O.

Why thank you Bill and Hillary Clinton. Both of you have shown by your actions that you really do want whats est for america and thats a Democrat as president.. I will say for one who didnt really thrive towards the end of the Clinton years, you are showing me that your not as bad as I had thought. Please keep up the excelent work you are doing for Obama and lets make america even better than it has been in the last 8 yrs.

Obama/Biden 08

If this country votes with their "American Idol" brains rather than their "concern for country" brains, we are in a big heap of trouble! You will see McSame and Sarah Failin' take this country back 100 years with their extremist right wing social issues as they continue to lie and lie and lie.

I hope to see Bill on the trail. He is a straight shooter.

mike September 7th, 2008 7:59 pm ET
OBAMA WILL LOSE
GO HILLARY 2102

Mike – Won't Hilary be a little old to be running in the 22nd Century?

omg did obama call him self a muslim what a gaff he was talking abc he said mccain ? HIS MUSLIM FAITH and abc had to tell him chritan faith right obama said christian faith right lol oh my i can see the utube now hes gone he might as well step down

"mike: OBAMA WILL LOSE, GO HILLARY 2102"

Don't you think she'd be a little old for the job by then, Mikey?

Heck, she'd almost be as old as McCain.

Bill and Hillary...I have such respect for you both and I do not think you have to do another thing for this man. You have already done for him far beyond anything anyone else would have, especially after having the race card unfairly played against them and being the subject of the blatant sexism that was so pervasive from the Obama camp during the primaries, in my opinion.

I hope to see you running for President in 2012, Hillary!

You're the best.

Hillary Clinton 2012!

There are only 2 kinds of people that will vote republican this fall – the very wealthy / greedy / irresponsible and the very stupid! So, why does Hillary have to bust her butt trying to coax her supporters into Obama's camp? Are there really that many extremely stupid people in America? Hillary was my first choice too. I would have loved to see her on the top of the ticket and have Obama spend 8 years as vice before running for the top job. Imagine – 16 years of Democratic excellence in the White House! Unfortunately, too many Americans are too short-sighted for that to happen. But still, Obama was a close 2nd to Hillary and will be 1000x better than McSame. So, the only question left is how many extremely stupid Americans are there?

Palin is no Hillary and Hillary needs to let her supporters know that they shouldn't be fooled. Palin is a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Obama will win because the American public will see through this act and realize that McCain is McSane.

mike,

You can be sure that by the years 2102, Hillary clinton will not be runnig for president, and all of us who are on this blog will be dead by that time...

Obama is losing by 3% per latest Gallup poll, CNN give us the real truth ! Obama is running to the Clintons for help now- after he deserted Hillary. Obama had considered joining the military- that is nothing compare to McCain's family of military service since the American Revolution, his 4-stars grandfather and father, his sacrifice in Vietnam, his refusing to renounce America and the punishment he received. Obama is desperate because for the first time he is really afraid to lose. Democrats better stop attacking Palin's family ! Obama's family is a worse mess- his father is a polygamous, left a wife in Kenia to have one in Hawaii and baby Obama, and then left her again to have another wife from Harvard. His father died as a drunkard. No wonder he doesn't want to bring in family and yet his henchmen are doing all the dirty work on Palin. Obama talks alot and promises alot to get your votes- he will definitely raise taxes and that will not be enough to fullfill his promises. Obama has been wrong about everything in his foreign policies- he flip flops all the time when he is wrong. Stick with the experienced McCain/Palin ticket- that's really the change you can believe in.

The Clinton's will always be major players in the Democratic party. I think it's a given that both of them will have a role in an Obama administration if they want it.

Obama – put Hillary in charge of health care – annouce it now – this will help every American citizen and all small employers

It works in Canada and England and the people will love you and never forget what you have done for them, their children and their elderly.

Hey Clintons, any surprise here that if Obama wins you will receive no credit, he loses it will be your fault! Beware...

THis is excellent news and only good things will come of it. THe Dems will make good decisions for the AMerican voting public to make America once again strong and safe.
This is good. Bery good.

I think this is a good sign for the Dems. How is senator Clinton going to help senator Obama is unknown? However, it is important for the country to know the difference between senator Clinton and governor Palin. The difference between the two is night and day. It would be good to learn more about governor Palin's stands on issues.

CNN should really give up on this polling task, given that they are NOT really good at it!!

But then, I still live in a nation where people truly believe that…

1. life begins at conception, and therefore, the life of Christ only started at conception;

2. paying higher taxes means giving to the poor; the poor should be left on their own;

3. life, at the time of conception, is more important than life that is maintained and how it ends;

4. experience is more important than "good" judgement, even when you go wrong 95% of the time.

5. only Republicans know how to defend and protect this country against war etc. as though only Republicans serve in the military

6. only the "morally right" or just has the right judgment to lead this nation; democrats do not have these moral rights;

7. there is no clear distinction between the Constitution of the U.S. and the 10 commandments, although the Republicans believe that they do not need to keep these commandments, they are there to see to it that the commandments are kept by the democrats!!

I have to add one more reply to the guy in the story about Obama once considered joining the military. And hopefully CNN will see fit to publish it this time. You republicans think Obama changes his positions. McCain has changed his position on so many things in the past 8 years that he is almost indistinguishable from MCBUSH. He is so joined at the hip with him that you can not tell them apart. Mcpalin is no maverick either. She has requested more earmarks per capita than any state in the union. She is just as corrupt as the current administration. If we elect these two people we will be the laughing stock of the free world. But if thats what you want, just keep your head in the sand.

yes we can

No way no how no MCcain-Palin

The party is already healed. Those clinton supporters who do not support the policies of the party were never democrats but republicans looking for a president raced on gender and not policies.

WHY IS IT WHEN THERE IS CRITICISM OF OBAMA WE ARE ASKED TO MODERATE COMMENT WHILE THE OBAMA HIPPIES CAN SAY THE WORST THINGS ABOUT HILLARY OR MCCAIN

It would be great if Obama would have one of the clinton's in his cabinent. As they say too much is at stake and we need the democrats controlling the white house.

MCSENILE & SUPPORTERS WANT TO FURTHER

DESTROY THIS NATION. WE NEED TO START PLAYING

HARD BALL. A SCORE OF 3 OUT OF 10 IS DISMAL.

WE DON'T LACK INTELLECT. WE LACK THE WILL

TO GO DOWN & DIRTY. REMEMBER WILLIE HORTON.

Go Dems, this elections is ours to take!!! The American people need you. We need affordable healthcare, at least I know I do.

Thanks Bill & Hill!!!

OBAMA WILL LOSE

GO HILLARY 2102

How do the Democrats say: "Whoops. We screwed up."?

If Obama expects to win back some Hillary supporters that may be considering defecting to the McCain camp, he should extend a public olive branch to both Clintons. In fact, I would like to see him put her in charge of health care – an issue near and dear to her heart – or in some other position if he were to be elected. That would certainly appease many of her supporters, like me.

YES WE GO CAN!!! WHEN THE DEMS UNITE THE REPUBLICANS ARE TOAST!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

good news for senator obama, let him just do it rural and blue collar areas as its weaknesses for obama as poll shows.

My comment is not about Obama & the Clinton's, is about how all the media is given so mush attention to Pailan and people also think that she is ready to be a VP just for a good night or speech. I mean please is it that easy to get a chance to the white house.

Think of the military..

You fight, but eventually, you'll need to re-supply to fight more wars.

It's time to re-supply. Let Obama absorb the stress and attract talents. He has less baggages and he can do it.

Sen. Clinton looks so sad in that picture at the loss of her dear true friend. She did amazing things and will be sorely missed.

Good call.

I'm so glad to hear this. Bill and Hillary both need to demonstrate that they care more about America's needs than their own.

And Clinton supporters need to show they care more about Hillary's principles that about throwing their vote away out of spite.

There is NO sign of unity between those two. There's Democrats, Republicans, and Clintons. They are all for themselves. Watch your back end Barrack. Don't trust them!! Why am I sticking up for Barrack?? It must be that I am so glad another Clinton is not going to be in office at least for the next 4 years!!

The TICKET should have been Hillary Clinton for president and Obama as her vice president.

PERFECT.

But Obama thought he could win, that he didn't need Clinton (and thus didn't even vet her) and he will pay for a really really big

MISTAKE.

I will still vote for Obama because I believe in supporting the Democratic Party PLATFORM. The party platform is what Democrats BELIEVE IN.

It is far more important than the person .

However, in America we vote for the little picture instead of the BIG picture.

CHINA is laughing all the way to the bank.

Thanks Billy for Supporting this young but yet powerful senator.

It was great! Obama was getting kicked out and body slammed by the Clintonites. Eventually, he survived.

This time he's getting whiplashes by McCain's female twin, Palin. It's awesome!

WATCH SARAH PALIN'S DEBATE ON CSPAN. THIS DEBATE TOOK PLACE IN 2006. THIS WOMEN IS AS RIGHT-– AS THEY GET!

If McSame somehow wins...does this mean that the same women who voted for Hil voted for Palin just because of her sex, being that HRC and Palin are on opposite sides of the spectrum.

I guess if McSame gets into office, we deserve what we get. End of the Roman Empire fellows.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT CLINTON FOR GIVING YOUR HAND TO SEN OBAMA. HIOE THIS WILL BRING GOOD ADVISE TO SEN OBAMA
AND WILL STRENGHTEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP.

glad to see we are past the primaries.
i watched all the guys on sunday political shows. is bob schiefer the weakest guy out there? he didn't ask a hard question, nor did he ask a follow-up!! of the 3 i thought biden was the best, even better than obama. mccain was bad even without having to answer a tough question. biden gave the best answer on the pro-choice side i ever heard a politician ever make.
i love that mccain thinks charlie gibson is a real interview. gibson will ask about fingernail polish color. lets see palin with brokaw, stephanopolis, blitzer, and matthews.

Thanks Bill I knew we could count on you.
Charlie

It's just amazing why does Obama always have to fight with more than one people? It's just silly. Bill poking at the side and now it's Palin poking in the behind.

What a drama!

Hillary – and Bill too – better be offered plum jobs in Obama's administration, if you ask me. They've done 1000% for this country, more than anyone else.

Bill sent the invite?
Im stunned :O

Can Brother Huckabee go to the lunch too ?

Help me, before I mix another metaphor, again.

Bush, Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfvovitz, Libby, Rice...8 years. Remember. McCain is not running as an independent.

I really appreciate the Republican Machine, but after 8 years, it's time to step down. The Machine MUST step down and let the Democrats, re-powered is battery and create the next generation jobs.

Give this election to the Democrats, once they rebuild the economy and get it going, you can have it back.

Think of a caterpillar. You want to be a butterfly? Let the caterpillar coccoon for a re-birth. We need to cocoon and change our tactics on the economy.

I am glad that two of the greatest men in our lifetimes are going to come together for a good cause. I know the Republicans are mad and such unity. I am glad that the Palin / McCain ticket is falling apart.

Go Bill and Hillary, win this election!!!!!!!

LOL!

Obama is in TROUBLE. President Clinton said it best at the DNC Convention:

You have Candidate X, who you agree with the issues, but you realize he won't be able to get a thing done.

Then you have Candidate Y, who you don't agree with at least 1/2 of the issues, but the other 1/2 you agree with, you know he can get the job done.

Obama is in Trouble.

PUMA 2008!

Beerock H. Uhblahma must be getting desperate.

As an aside :

Goveror Palin's recent pit bull remarks may be attractive to the right wing crowd or a liberal who has just been mugged.

In my view, Mrs. Palin's family crisis (pregnant daughter and new born) is sure to have a psychological impact on her and the family.

It will depend if America wants to move on from the Bush / Cheney / Rove / years.

Hopefully, McCain,72, wil retire now.

This is owesome, we need these two guys to strengthen the party.

This is news? Everyone has to have lunch...

I love America! The power to sit down with your enemy and have a meaningful conversation, is the power that built this nation.

What I do not understands is why McCain think he is a Maverick when he misses 63% of Senate votes and Karl Rove works for his campaign as a "consultant"? Are we really this stupid that we will keep the GOP in power? COME ON PEOPLE!

Thank you Bill Clinton-
