Jim Webb for VP! He would make an awesome VP choice.

I would like to ask the Obama supporters why there is so much bitterness in these blogs? You would think that he was the one that was behind in the race. What we are witness to is what politics is all about. It is not for the weak of heart, it is a full contact sport. Agree or disagree. that is our right . But we do not have a right to tear any of the candidates down with personal attacks, and the stands for McCain, Hillary and Obama.
A Irish Catholic, white, male, Or should it not be an American of Irish heritage who is Catholic and male. Until we figure it out we will forever be divided………..

Hillary Clinton has a strong 49% of the vote. Without her on the ticket, I seriously doubt Barack Obama will win the states he needs. It is Democratic political suicide to discount her strength. There are just too many people willing to jump to McCain without her on the ticket. This race between them is almost 50-50. If her people had put time and energy into organizing in the caucus states, she would be the leader right now.

Many people say she is "old politics." Like the old politics that fought for and won Roe v. Wade for us and so many other democratic policies that benefit us today? If he loses the race against McCain, and Roe v. Wade becomes history, maybe many of these young people will understand why so many people are grateful to her generation.

kennedy is nothing like his brothers, and never will b. he is a trader and i have no repect 4 the man, did he not cheat on his wife 2. and people have the nerve 2 talk about bill. please…..come nov. i will write hillary name in and that's what all those hillary supporters should do 2. kennedy is a disgrace.

Now why would Obama want an "Old Politician" like Kennedy. Out with the old - in with the new right. Not that anyone cares who Obama picks in the first place. But just for argument sake, Kennedy DID pave the way for Obama in a huge way I might add - so Obama owes him. Now that sounds like the old politics right?

Hillary supporters - do listen to any junk about uniting the party - or if you don't vote for Obama blood from Iraq will be on your hands, and all the other intimidating things his supporters will try to lay on you. They are full of hot air - Obama will be in four years and Iraq will still be going on - he cannot do anything any quicker than anyone else.

NO OBAMA

Lucky Bill — at least he has an excuse to not talk to that blowhard Teddy anymore What a joke he is.

Republicans get ready and stop acting like Democrats on this blog spreading hate. Democrats come together and beat the Republicans!!!

So he wont even offer her the VP slot.

some 'uniter'

looks like YES WE CAN has become NO SHE CANT to me…

how inspiring. i wonder how many obama supporters are going to push me towards voting for mccain today.

Obama does not stand a chance in the general. Hillary does. If the Dems want to win, O Boy is not the candidate. It will be like handing the election to the Republicans.

Is Ted Kennedy out to preempt another Democratic victory in the general election?

I LOVE how all these americans who've never left the country talk about what we abroad want in a US president.

how about a democrat who's electable? that'd be nice for once.

Thanks, Ted. You're so right. She will black mail and take control the WH in a minute, on day one.

Oh dear.

looks like YES WE CAN has become NO SHE CANT

pathetic.

The damage that Sen. Clinton has done to the Democratic Party will definitely make her a deficit to any ticket. Sen. Clinton has alienated a great many voters with her dirty politics and negative campaign.

Sen. Obama can not afford to have Sen. Clinton as his VP because she can not be trusted to do the right thing. She is totally dangerous, vicious, unethical, nasty, and most of all selfish. If it is not her way, then you better watch your back, front, and sides.

I think she is totally psycho now.

It will be Kennedy and Johnson over again.

Hillary should run as an Independent.

So he wont even offer her the VP slot.

some 'uniter'

I agree with Ted Kennedy. I WOULD NOT TRUST those Clintons as there would certainly be TWO of them, AGAINST Obama. Leave them where they are … away from the White House!

Do not even think of offering her the VP!

TED KENNEDY IS A TURNCOAT. DOSE HE WANT THE VP POSITION.? GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who let this gas bag out of his oldsmobile?

Why should those of us that support Hillary's competence consider voting for Obama? Maybe WE actually learned the lesson of Bush - the perils of electing an unqualified, inexperienced, unknown candidate. Maybe after McCain is elected and we lose Roe v Wade, we will all finally wake-up and appreciate the true value of a women leader as committed to women and human rights as Hillary has been her whole life! IF not NOW then THEN - Go Hillary!!!
As a former worker for Ted Kennedy in 1980 - his credibility is shot - the only reason he supports Obama is so he can be his "Cheney" THAT's the real reason he doesnt want any Clinton around - so patently self-serving!

One thing these comments prove is Obama supporters are very odd. The Clinton's didn't even start the Reverend Wright thing, but that won't stop the Obama nuts from pretending she did, and shamelessly calling her a race-baiter because she did, though she didn't start that discussion. Wright blames white people for "inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color," not to mention that the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 represent the WWII Japanese getting their comeuppance against us for the nukes of 1944… But if anyone mentions that Obama is incredibly close to this guy and his "liberation theology"/communist church, those people are race baiters. Well, people don't need to mention race with Obama, they can just call him a beyond the pale liberation theology left-wing, commie nut, and if the Republicans do this with any vigor, I don't see why they can't succeed. Has nothing to do with skin color, but the Obama camp of course will keep whining that it does and playing the race card at the strangest times. Worse than Jesse Jackson, that campaign appears…

I dunno Obama / Clinton would be pretty much a lead pipe cinche to win. And there is alot to be said for winning. And even more to be said for not loosing!

Ted Kennedy represents the most liberal aspect of our party. If our party splits between liberals and moderates, I hope he is prepared to accept the responsibility. Hillary Clinton is extremely respected and popular why would he argue such a position? This is just dead wrong. She earned the VP slot and the party will be much more enthusiastic if they are both on the ticket.

If obama loses this election to mccain, which he almost certainly will, i wont blame obama. i blame the opportunists who ignored the logic and went with the flow.

and obviously, the 90-percent-racists and kool-aid drinkers who voted for him.

I could not agree more.

I say UP YOURS Ted Kennedy. I can't wait to dump the democratic party and vote for McCain.

The DNC male dominated leadership has completely run-over Hillary Clinton. I will never support this party again.

As a lifelong democrat and one that has donated to both Kennedy and Kerry in the past - I'm done.

These chauvenist pigs can have their precious Obama.

I'm moving on to McCain and the Republicans.

I am all for Obama to win. He has more baggage than Hillary. The Republicans will have a field day in attacking him.

For the Hillary supporters, you can make your voice heard by voting for McCain. After being robbed of the nomination by not counting votes in Michigan and Florida, you have every right to retaliate against the Obama ticket. Show your loyalty to Hillary. Strike Obama down.

Hip, hip, hooray for Obama!!!!

Sandy, I love Jack Cafferty!

So Ted Kennedy is already calling the shots???? Well, then everybody loses.

Just a thought:

Hillary age 62 backs down and feigns support for Obama.
Clinton supporters back McCain.
Obama loses against John McCain.
McCain President.
People will grow tired from the Republicans in 2012.
Obama will be relegated to the likes of Dukakis.
Clinton becomes President at a respectable age of 66.

Obama and Clinton would make a great ticket. A team we could be proud of with two great candidates.

If obama doesnt offer clinton the VP slot i will be FURIOUS

why should i vote for a man who talks and talks and talks about 'uniting' people when he's not even willing to reach out so far as to offer clinton the VP slot?

it will be his single act of hypocrisy yet. I'm a lifelong democrat. But at least McCain's showed more respect to Clinton than the obamacists… I WILL vote for mccain if obama messes this up. So will millions like me. He's hard enough to get elected as it is, without infuriating every last person who voted for clinton.

You've been warned, Obama people.

Its so disenchanting how negative and mean-spirited the Obama - fans are on CNN posts.

Don't you think you will need the Clinton supporters vote IF Obama gets the nod?

Numbers are increasingly showing the WE CLINTON SUPPORTERS will in large margin either not vote or vote for McCain.

Blind-eyed Obamabots are the reason for the racial divides in this contest.

Does anyone actually think Obama can beat McCain? More than college kids and African Americans would have to vote than already did.

Why did Kennedy have to say "no" anyway? Is this another instance where Obama has somebody fight his battles like he did when he had T-shirts made for his supporters denouncing Clinton? He really is weak. Why could he be commander-in-chief enough to say "no" himself?

no wonder that no kennedy clan will be ever make it to the top because of your action ted…you are a shame to jhons legacy.

Of course it isn't possible…forget about what might be best for the country, Obama is incapable of having a joint ticket because he is really too arrogant to work with someone who really might make a difference.

The man is right. The BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-??CLINTON equation would make American democracy a sham. Pliz give others a chance. Some people are complianing about Obama supporters; they should realise that OBAMA SUPPOTERS ARE WILLING TO SWITCH AND SUPPORT HILLARY IF SHE IS NOMINATED WHEREAS HER SUPPORTERS ARE NOT WILLING TO SWITCH!!!! What does this say about her suppoters? One word=RACISM. I love people but black people more because they simply don't have racism.

To all Sen. Obama supporters,

The latest about Sen. McCain.

He and his party have the right to bash Sen. Obama, with his disgusting Ad. "Hamas Endorses Sen Obama" Yes, it is okay for McCain to deliberately make these statements, and attack Sen. Obama for what Hamas says. (it seems that Sen Obama is going to be critized for what everyone else says about him).

In response to this disgusting ad, Sen. Obama says he thinks Sen. McCain "is losing his Bearings"…. Now the Rep. are up in arms. This is Leiberman's remarks, speaking now with Wolf Blitzer. "You can say that you don't agree with what someone says but to say that they are losing there bearings is not right" Is this some kind of double standard?????

Stop whining McCain, Lieberman, and all of your supporters, if you expect to attack Sen. Obama, for what everyone says about him, then you had better be prepared for some payback! There is a lot more to come! (If someone should say this about you I am sure that you would use much stronger words than this).

I think we need a great VP like J. Edwards, even though he has not endorsed - We should run as fast as we can from Hillary and most importantly from BILL "talk too much" CLINTON.

Ohhh God I'm tired of reading feminists and old people's bitter comments that just because their liar is not going to steal the nomination then they will vote for McCain…go get a life that is if you are not in the lasting days of it…

it seem barack has nothing to say the others will decide for him.the think about barack he say he want to change the white house only stupid people and young people can belived this crap because theyhave no idea about polictics they are so naive.it is always like that obama do not have no substance or ground to stand on so he is pointing at bush and all the mistakes and of course the bad people who works in the white house and who build up amercia.it is so sad and painful that people fall for this fake guy . his pastor is right obama is just playing the same old polictics games and end of the day he will not do nothing.it is not so simple like he is saying. you just can not change things like that you must be stupid to belived him. sad amercia, they will never learn………..

Yes Obama needs a like-minded uniter and not from the "old school" politics of division and blaming the other party for problems.

He should try to recruit a moderate disenfranchised Republican that wants to defect to the Democrats, or pick a social conservative Democrat from a Red state - preferably heartland or the south. (BESIDES Edwards)

I'm so not for McCain, but here ia a thought to chew on..McCain for Pres. Obama for Vice Pres. Or Obama for Pres and McNot for Vice

Look whose talking about noblier aspirations. Ted Kennedy the one who has disgraced the Kennedy name. . No wonder you like Obama. Hillary Clinton has fought for what she believed since she came onto the scene. Barak Obama pales in comparison to her. Too bad you didn't think of your brother Bobby and that is who Hillary is like.

If I were you Ted I would not run for re-election to the Senate I think the people of MA are finally going to reject you. Use you age for not running again you will not be elected. GO HILLARY!!!!

If elected POTUS and Obama follows in the path of Kennedy and Kerry's leadership, then he can look forward to millions in book advancements and speaking engagements.
US citizens can look forward to the footnote of a bi-racial president that dug George Bush's economic hole to engulf the entire eastern hemisphere of the world.

OBAMACANS, can you withstand the tax burden to support the entitlement programs in the USA and the continent of Africa?

With some training, Obama could be an ok #2 to a Hillary ticket.

ted kennedy wrecked the democrat party in 1980 running against an incumbent president and we had 12 years of the gop. now he's at it again. i'm sure with him going against his own states peoples will he is the one everyone should listen to. looks like him and a few others are going to wreck the party again. ted is such a great leader to listen to..HA!!!

Sen. Kennedy brings to mind the Alexander Pope poem saying that hell has no fury like a woman scorned. To paraphrase, politics has not fury like a Kennedy being upset over a comment made by a Clinton supporter. I used to regard Sen Kennedy as a man who had redeemed himself from his many issues including the harm he did to the party in 1980 but he has now become once more a person who does not deserve praise.
He is petty and should understand he really is the old politics.
he should bow out now

OK, so we can't have HRC but we can have the esteemed Ted K who has no baggage tell us the type Obama should chose. Get real Teddy, you couldn't even carry your state for Barack.

A joint ticket would mean double trouble.

I feel like any chance Hillary Clinton had to become Obama's VP is completely out the window!!!!

The stunts and crap she has tried to push is coming back to bite her in the behind. He doesnt need to have her on the ticket to win anyway.

I like Wes Clark as a VP candidate.

If Hillary is not the dem nominee she iis not going to be vp of Obama because she knows very well who he is. I whould suggest one of obama's reverends to be vp. Could Be his former pastor rev. wright. Or Rev Al, or even Jesse Jackson. I'm so sorry for america.

Dear Manuel in TX,

To each it own but, this is the same game issue that Clinton has and still is doing in West Virginia or should I say through out her campaign from state to state.

Is this not a race card gimmick ? her stating that a majority of white uneducated, older and working voters are the main voters that will make her the best candidate for the opponent McCainn, sounds like a race issue to me.

Let’s not forget the news also list these race issues.

Obama 08

I look forward to hearing Kennedy's endorsement of Hillary since Obama seems so keen on people following the intention of voters. Hillary beat Obama in MA and the polls suggest even McCain might beat him in MA.

Margaret - you are brilliant! "It appears that Kennedy is speaking for Obama. … He ulimately will not be in control."

I am already wondering who Obama's "Dick Cheney" will be. Who will be the puppet master?

Without a joint ticket, there is no way I can vote for Obama. I would either have to defect to McCain (a wreteched thought) or stay home. I can't in good conscious vote for this man.

No joint ticket…no no no no..no! it wouldn't make since. Hillary has to many Lobbyist to to cater to for Obama's Change to happen. She'll be politics as usual dead weight.

It is none of his BUSINESS!!!!! The PEOPLE want to VOTE!!!!!!!! Are we no longer democratic RULE!!!

KENNEDY ROCKS
SO DOES OBAMA

STOP CRYING HILLARY SUPPORTERS AND JUST JUMP ON THE OBAMA BOAT.

No. Hell No. Never. Just No.

Ouch! Teddy can you be more clear about how you feel about Hillary?

To Caroline,
Foreign governments? The Red scare?
Sounds like McCarthyism is still alive and well in the ol' US of A.
Sure there are foreign governments who want Obama. They sure as hell don't want more of the same, after all.

Bloggers of the World Unite, you "have nothing to lose but your brains"!

Three people who will add value to the ticket with Obama are Kerry/Richardson/Edwards. Ofcourse, I am looking so………..forward to Obama Presidency. He has the right ingredients to make a great president.

No to Hillary Clinton. I just don't like her as a person. The ticket should be either Obama-Clark or Obama-Bloomberg

It is imperative to know the next president of the United States is standing with Israel and not with the PLO or Hamas. History has proven that PLO & Hamas can't be trusted. If a family can send & encourage their sons to blow themselves up for virgins, there is something wrong with their minds!

When Tedd Kennedy was running for the President in 1980 against Jimmy Carter, they had so much animosity that he didnt even shook his hands with President Carter at the Deomcratic Convention. I think that before bashing Hillary Clinton for trying to ruin Obama, he should look at his past also. After his Tussle with President Carter, the Democrates lost the 1980 General Election. Atleast Hilary is still winning against Obama and even though he is the presumptive nominee,she is still ahead in polls in some of the remaining contests. She is in a more dignified position that Tedd when he was running against President Carter.

How about Al Sharpton?

Ouch! Kennedy laid the smackdown on Hiliary.

COLLIN POWELL !! The Best of Both Parties..!! UNBEATABLE..!
PHENOMINAL !
A TICKET FOR EVERYONE.! DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS UNITED..

In 4 years, after Obama tries and fails to push through pipe dreams of policy in domestic affairs and sells off our national security interests to satisfy international opinion, even the most die hard Obama supporters today will be saying, "i wish i had voted differently in 08…."

A good public presentation and an effective media spin machine does not make good leadership.

I was born a Republican, lived a Republican and will die a Republican, but I gave a write in vote for Obama and will vote for him in the general election. I am 78 years old and tired of "politics as usual".

I agree. After saying that White America would not vote for Obama as if we are back in the 50's and 60's, I would not want her on my ticket. Her elitist comments are coming to light. She also made it seem like White voters who don't have a college education are the only ones voting for her because she will help them. Lets see if she did make it to the White House if they could get a job. Thats when the real Hillary would come out and only the people that donated money to Bills donors list have a say. Like the Saudi's, the Palestinians and Qatar. Oh yes, Colombia, China and the list goes on and on.

Yes, go ahed and vote Mc Same. With the "Bomb, Bomb,bomb" and 100yrs in Iraq, we will not have a country.

THERE WOULD NOT BE A GOD TO HELP YOU. BECAUSE EVERYTHING WILL HAVE TO COME FROM CHINA.

Clinton supporters are laughable she lies, cheats, and threatens another war (Miss Bush) and you all still love her. She voted for this foreign policy disaster that's costing us billions and you still love her. And she voted for the bankruptcy act which made it harder for Americans to file for bankruptcy. And now that the economy is bad many many people need to be relieved of their debt. Man….can I get the number of a few of you Hillary supporters?? I need a good punching bag.

That one white person who will vote for Obama!,

"No HIllary for VP, Barack would have to sleep with one eye open!"

hahahhahhha that was the funniest thing I ever heard!!!

Kennedy is long past due for the old peoples home. Time to go … now!

Mrs Clinton has never killed anyone. Kennedy and his old junky, rapist family should go hell. Mrs Clinton is more noble that all the Kennedys put together. They are bunch of drunks. Without Clinton the ticket I will not vote for Barack. He should shut up and go die in grace.

Ted who?

Ted Kenedy is an old washed up has been. I am tired of hearing him speak.

Surely, the Kennedys, The Kerrys, The Richardsons are all sour grapes who I believe all have an axe to grind with the Clintons. Let us base our judgement on principle and not sour grapes. Leave Hilary alone to fight to finish. Afterall we are a democracy. Stop this bullying and let her get on with it?

I've said it before I'll vote for Obama.But not Obama/Clinton

@ Relevant

If they wanted to over turn R v W they would have done it already.

They already have enough Supreme court justices on the bench to do so.

Being a 1 issue voter = Lame !

Go Ted!

Sen Ted Kennedy never really liked you but NOW you ar making sense.

If Hillary is on the ticket then Obama is just another Politician and We will just have to look for another "one" in 2012.

Obama/ Webb 08

Kennedy is a looser and divided the party once.

Too bad that we are loosing this one as well after all the hoopla we are going to choose the looser again… Kennedy, Gore, Kerry and now Obama….

Hey
That one white person who will vote for Obama….

I was going to say the same thing

Could you imagine how much security would have to be around him all the time ???? food tasters too

HILLARY FOR VP WOULD STILL BE OLD WASHINGTON POLITICS, I DON'T THINK OBAMA WOULD DO THAT TO US…………..

By the way …..

I guess I am the other white person who voted for Obama here in Oregon just this week

Jeanie

I am sure she thinks this is just another avenue to get into the White House. Become VP, unleash the Clinton mafia and before you know it, it is President Clinton. Remember all the strange occurrences during Bill's presidency ?

Ted has as much "garbage" as you all say about Hillary.

Surely, the Kennedys, The Kerrys, The Richardsons are all sour grapes who I believe all have an axe to grind with the Clintons. Let us base our judgement on principle and not sour grapes. Leave Hilary alone to fight to finish. Afterall we are a democracy. Stop this bullying and get on with it?

maybe Joe Liberman is smarter than I thought.

And calling Hillary a lowlife brings the party together?

Ted and Kerry are proffesional loosers along with Dean.

I wont vote for Obama Teddy just helped with my decision.

Did I hear Obama say he'd been to 57 states in this campaign?

Kennedy is right, Hillary should turn down the VP and teddy should get it. The two most liberal senators in the Congress. What about the Kennedy/McCain bill, does that prove that McCain can cross party lines and be a unifier. Or id McCain/Fiengold prove that? I'm feeling better and better about my decision to leave the dem party and vote for McCain. Thank you, Ted Kennedy.

A joint ticket is not really as desirable as people think.

two opponents digging dirt on each other and all of a sudden everithing is all right. tough to swallow.

Winner take all and looser go home.

Well , as I have said before , Obama will be guided by the old guard , so much for change.
Obama doesn't have an original thought of his own , he is too liberal and too inexperienced.

I feel sorry for ted, his time has pasted, and the good boys is going down. Hillary is fixing to clean house.

Nobler aspirations of the American people???? Ted means nobler aspirations of OUR POLITICIANS TURNING THIS COUNTRY INTO A NANNY STATE. Go home Mr. Kennedy please, you are a disgrace to those that want to keep our liberties, freedoms and Nation's sovereignty in tact!!!!

Beautifully said! Senator Kennedy is correct, and made his statement with great dignity. Thank you Senator Kennedy!

Don't ride in a car with Teddy…Will he be Obamas' right or left hand man?

how about al sharpton or louis farakahn??? those are supporters of barak obama. he can't win anyway. just make it a statement that black bigots can make a run for the white house and get on with having a real president. ted kennedy??? shouldn't he be in jail for murder anyway??

I took a count in my town, and the finding were. People that voted for Clinton stated that they will now vote for MaCain. And I hope MaCain WINS.

Edward Kennedy is so right.

Despite the spin, Clinton does not have the character to lead constructively

I am offended with Hillary's comments about people over 50 years, so called uneducated and that make under $75,000. Does she think we don't have any sense?? or are unintelligent.

Caroline…. Stay in Canada. Good Socialist Country. Enjoy your Medical care.

Fortunately Americans get to vote not foreign countries. The next time Europe is invaded we should all stay home. Also, Canada needs to pay for it's own defense., instead of relying on my tax dollars for their defense.

Both candidates have groveled over there undying support of Israel . The whole middle east quagmire is as a result of the U.S. policy in backing the most unbending nation in the world . The treatment of the Palestinian Arabs has been nothing short of being disgraceful . As jimmy Carter replied on Larry King live ,when asked why more politician don't support his thinking in settling the Israel ,Palestinian conflict ,his simple reply was"because they would never get elected" . Can you imagine the U.S. putting up with Canada arbitrarily putting up 200 developments in the North West of thee U.S. ,grabbing the land without payment and declaring those area's under Canadian jurisdction.,and expecting a peaceful solution ,

Ted, you are so right and I thank you for your honesty. You sir, are truly a great American! Hillary, is a disappointment and a disgrace to this great country. Obama, we need change! Please do not nominate her as your VP, she is no good, she is a Bigot and a Race Baiter. ”Dream Team” more like “Dumb Team”. Obama, please get a Food Taster in case you make the silly mistake and she becomes your VP, a word to the wise.
Congratulation Obama, we are almost home!

Our President Obama 08’ & 12’

Sounds like he is prepping himself for the position. Surely, they will take a divided democratic party to become the biggest loser. Sounds good to me. Another 100 years of war, a bankrupt nation.

OMG Ted Kennedy knows best..give me a break.. He and Kerry just want to control Barack. I will be sitting home during the general election. So tired of the hate towards the Clintons. It's interesting, Barack talks of taking a higher road, while his campaign people and his supporters mouth hate. Sorry, but i never heard him speak out about this treatment against Hillary. Being a democrat all my life, this election really disturbs me. The caucus primaries are a joke, so unamerican. Most people had to work. If the party doesn't change this stupid process in the future, I will become an independent.

Much as I'd love Senator Clinton to get the vice-presidency with nearly half of voting democrats supporting her, I think there's too much bad blood between the two. They wouldn't be able to cooperate effectively and convincingly as a team.
I'm hoping Obama will choose Katherine Sebelius. She's governor of a red state, and she'll please Hillary's female constituency as well as some of the "bitter" small town voters Obama has pissed off.

Mr Kennedy is sooo right like all others who see Sen. Clinton as bringing so much negativity into the race that it would now be impossible to amend. There is virtually too much water under the bridge. It would be a contradiction. After all, Obama was not good enough for president and possibly not even VP. How can you pick the same viper as VP. Philadelphia will never be forgotten.

Obama Richardson 2008!!!!!

What doesn't Hillary and the DNC understand? WE DON"T WANT HILLARY, PERIOD!! sHE HAS DONE NOTHING BUT TRY TO DIVIDE THIS PARTY, AND CONINUES TO DO SO. sHE AND bILL HAVE LOST THE RESPECT THEY ONCE HAD. oBAMA IS OUR CHOICE!

I still think Ted Kennedy is a sexist. Unfortunately he will lose a lot of people's respect. And who is he to talk. I heard/read about how he reacted when he ran for president…..

Yeah this is just the begining of the problem. Hillary well for the divisiveness. I pray the Domocrats find a common ground.

Hillary is done. I doubt that she will be back in 2012, especially if Barack loses. Her actions have burnt her in the eyes of the American people. She has become such a whiner that many will cringe if her name is mentioned in nomination of another office. The very thing that makes her admirable (being a fighter) is the very thing that did her in. She doesn't know when to concede. She's the type to go out kicking and screaming - not very presidential.

Also, let's face it, most of her base is older people. She may lose a few backers as younger people become able to vote in 2012.

I am not a Clinton basher (at least my tone on her has softened) but I think her actions now have to be seen (even by her supporters) as a little silly now.

Again you fail to post my positive comments on Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Stop the Bias.

Hillary cannot and will not take second position to the Racial Candidate, Barak Hussein Obama.

She has done the Nation a favor in exposing him for what he really represents. And for that we are grateful.

Had the information on Rev. Wright been brought forward early in the primary season, before New Hampshire, She would be the only candidate available to the Democrarts.

There is no way that Obama can carry the Democratic party to victory in November without the Hillary Democrats. The majority of the vote will go to McCain.

Hispanics are already moving to the Republican column and this will accelerate the exodus. About time too.

No Hillary! Period!

I do not see Obama and Hillary on the same ticket period. He will be looing over his shoulder at Bill for the next four years! Secondly, being VP will dampen here opportunity to head a ticket in 2012. I don't think she will go for it! Besides he needs somone with executive experience and knows how to run a budget . He needs a Governor as his running mate (Richardson)???

You know what, i can't stand the unfair treatments against Hillary. Obama can get the nomination the dirty way he wants with the help of the press. However, everyone from my family and I will not vote for him in the general election. We will instead vote republician. I believe many hillary supporters would do the same. I really want to see how Obama can win when half of Hillary's support vote republician. I guess at the end, justice will serve.

I like Hillary and have contributed to defeating Bush in the last two elections. However, if Obama wins the nomination, the party's left wing's (Ted's) Hillary bashing will just encourage me and other more moderate Democrats to sit on our hands election-time.

I agree. I think that HIllary and Bill will undermind Barack all the way. Besides, she will bargin to pay off her debt adn tell white voters he did not want her. That way she can campaign against him and run in 2012.

I think he shoudl offer her
1. A Supreme Court Justice position
2. A Cabinet Position
3. A cup of Coffee and A ride back to NY

If there is not a joint ticket, he will not be able to win the general election. This guy is inexperienced enough as it is, come on!!! what are you people thinking? Your trying to put someone who has only been in the senate for 3.5 years. Is this a JOKE ? My guess obama has already promised someone else the VP seat, so now he's trying to distract people from thinking about a joint ticket with Hillary. Let's face it, the General election is Already over.

Ted…you have a pal who is even more left to you. Thanks for endorsement. This is the endorsement that will turn off the moderates and independents.

I was a registered Independent for 38 years. I switched to the Democratic party this year, but after all the Democratic whining about wanting Sen. Clinton to drop out of the campaign, I'll be registering as an Independent again. There has been a record turn out of voters from all states, yet the Democrats don't want to let all the voters voices to be heard. This will disenfranchise many voters. I will be voting this November by writing in Sen. Clinton's name. I hope other Clinton Supporters will join me as I will not vote for John McCain or Barack Obama

Its 2010…., The president of the USA - Barack already brought our troops from Iraq, he improved our economy, he increased our life standard and Clinton is still compaining and still making case to DNC that she is more electable.

Kennedy should have been in jail years ago. Why does the media even give him a platform? Even Kennedy doesn't have enough money to buy the presidency for Obama. mark my words, Obama WILL NOT win the general election. There is a vast democratic network preparing to unsurp any chance he thinks he has. Just say NO to OBAMA!

Cheers, Ted, for making the right call. Obama's the right person for the position, like I've been saying since last year. People like "silence do good" think that the state of MA is still pro-Clinton. But most of the state has changed their minds about her. After all the crap she's slung, I bet a lot of you people regret voting for her. I for one, will vote for Obama again in November because I don't want to lose the quality of health care we have now, watch the economy fall apart, or see my country embroiled in any more war.

Kennedy is so smart!

What a sad way to end the noble Kennedy legacy. Robert and John must be rolling in their graves…

Why would Sen. Hillary even remotely consider being on Obama 's ticket when she has no respect for him? According the Sen. Hillary , Obama only brings his speeches from 2002 and nothing more. I think she is more in line with John McCain becuase they both have many years of washington experience, and they have the support of the WHITE HARD WORKING BLUE COLLAR AMERICANS.
ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!

God, wouldn't it be nice if all the "Barak" supporters out there even knew how to spell his same?

What a country…the uneducted voting for the unqalified — how can we go wrong?

Romney 2012.

Thank you Mr. Kennedy for stating something I think most people are thinking. There are other capable women that could run as VP with Obama.

Kathleen Sebelius would be an excellent choice and one I think the majority of people would agree with.

Margaret (3:19 pm ET), common sense tells me that it is NOT ideal for Obama to say hell no to an Obama-Clinton ticket right now. The media would be all over him! It's best for Obama's surrogants to speak "unofficially" for the campaign. All politicians, including Clinton, do the same thing. No surprises. Just smart.

Hillary would distract from a message of new politics. She continues to campaign in a way that is negitive to the party. NO HILLARY 2008/2012.

He and Pelosi and everyone who is silently talking are right,
hillary is the oppposite from Obama
we know it and he knows it.

She is better off with McCain, she has been using their rap, their books, their style, tone, attacks, you name it, all you have to do is hear Limbaugh and Henedy and you know what she will say and do next

We need change, change change…

NO more clintons anywhere………..they can go write their fairy tale.

Great another illegal because as is well known the US does not recognize dual citizenship except in a very few cases. People (not real Americans or why be dual) do it when they can by gaining citizenship through family in another country but its not OUR way. We are proud to be Americans so CAROLINE why dont you renounce your citizenship because we don't need illegals here!!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Caroline May 9th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

ToMaria - Obama is exactly what foreign countries and governments want . Do your homework. I can add my two cents as I have duel citizenship and spend much time in Canada and Europe.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

and who is surprised that foreign countries want a political novice in the White house? Are you people stupid or just illegals?

Why after Billy boys and hilly girls racial remarks would Brack Obama even consider this witch.

Obama= Politics of change
Ted Kennedy= Old Politics? There's something wrong with this picture???? So ironic!

Anyway, we don't want an arrogant, inexperienced Intern in our team:

HILLARY/ Randell for 08!

GO HILLARY for West Virginia!!!!!

Come on people!!! We aren't voting for the captain of the kickball team in 5th grade.

Please don't be spiteful and vote for McCain just because your candidate didn't get the nomination. You will only be hurting yourself, your family and OUR country. Is that what you would tell your children, just because you don’t get your way go to the other side?!?!

Support the Democrats all the way to the Oval Office!!!

I must agree with 50 year old white ladies. I think Hillary has hurt the chances for future women to take a run at the White House. It is time for a female president but we need one with honor, dignity, and truth.
For now, we have Obama and we must vote for him or loose Roe v Wade and thousands more of our young people in this horrible war.
Democrats 08

You think Obama did not lie when he said "he never heard Wright engage in racists anti american talk" - don't insult my intelligence.
Clinton knew there was snipers around and embellished on something that is irrelevant.

I also think it's not a good idea. It's not just practical: three captains in a ship. Obama?Rendell. That''s a WINNER

Unbelievable!
This campaign is getting nastier and nastier! And it's not the candidates…it's their supporters!
I support Hillary but I doubt very much at this point if she will win.
There is a lot of division in the Party, and stupid remarks by Ted Kennedy and Al Sharpton do nothing to heal the rift.
The bottom line is that Hillary has millions of supporters in a constituency that Barack needs if he is going to beat John McCain.
Bad mouthing Hillary Clinton at this stage of the game will not encourage her supporters to back Obama for the White House.
Personally I hope she is not his VP. I think she has enormous potential for the future, and will chart her own course in due time. I agree with Gloria Borger on CNN last night when she suggested Obama choose a popular Clinton supporter such as Governor Strickland or Bayh as his running mate.
That would strenthen the ticket and bring both sides together.
The last person he should choose is Bill Richardson or some other turncoat or virulent Hillary hater. The Democrat ticket would go down the tubes!!

I think Kennedy is absolutely right….it is not only insane to think that these two could even be on a ticket together…but not conceivable given how Clinton has run this campaign against Barack. She is polarizing and divisive…which is totally in noncompliance with Barack Obama's platform..totally not within the kind of presidency that Barack wants to have…She has never been in this thing for her country, not the Democratic Party..this has been totally about Hillary Rodham Clinton…..and that is unforgiveable……as well as a disgrace.

You are so right Margaret! Kennedy makes me sick to my stomach! The good Kennedy's are gone! God Bless Them!!!! Bash Hillary all you want, all the ghost will come out of the closet on Obama soon when the republicans put him in the meat grinder and chew him up into hamburger! He will not be able to take the heat, he will sink like the Titanic. Sink Obama Sink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My, my, my aren't we all so full of ourselves!

For those of you who can't spell, or construct a sentence properly, either turn on your spell checkers and grammar checkers, or concentrate on reading and learning something, instead of babbling like trailer trash! If you appear to be uneducated, no one will listen to what it is you are saying!

Yikes!

"JIM WEBB"

Ted, your state voted for Hillary but you have endorsed Obama. I thought like Pelosi said, superdelegates are not supposed to voted against the will of the people. Hello?

I agree wholeheartedly Ted. Obama/Clinton would be like Kennedy/Johnson. Even if it did win, they would still hate each other!

Don't need to worrry about joint ticket - Clinton is ahead in West Virigina 66-23 and has won the last five of seven primaries. The American People have turned (except for the black people which is understandable).
VIRGINIA AND THE LARGE STATES TELL US WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER FOLKS. Give Obama time to season and think about his judgement as to WRight, Rezko and the like.
Joanne

If it's not a joint ticket in Nov, Obama will lose. See 2000 and 2004…
As for Kennedy, he's irrelevant.

Hillary

Just curious,

1. How many people will / will not vote for Obama because he is black?
2. How many people will / will not vote for Clinton because she is a woman?

3. How many people will vote for McCain if their candidate isn't the nominee only because they don't want to vote for a woman or a black man?

OBAMA IS FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!!! HE IS RESISTING THE VOTE COUNT IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN. THAT'S CHANGE, ISN'T IT?
IF THE THE VOTES IN FLORIDA ANFD MICHIGAN COUNTS —– HILLARY IS THE WINNER. SAVVY? SO , OBAMA SUPPORTERS START CELEBRATING IF AND WHEN THE VOTES IN BOTH FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN ARE COUNTED. THE GREATEST ELECTION TEAM - CNN - SHIES AWAY FROM DISCUSSING THE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTES, HMM,

BLACKS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GIVEN TOKEN APPARENCES IN TV ADS, etc, OBAMA PUTS WHITES BEHIND HIM DURING HIS SPEECHES ON TV, HOW IRONIC !!!!!!!
"THATS CHANGE YOU CAN COUNT ON."

Obama should NOT put Clinton on his ticket. He will regret it (even if they win the White House). This time he should take the advice of Bush: NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST. That's how Clinton's supporters are acting - like terrorist. They are threatening the national and financial security of this nation by threatening to vote for McCain knowing that another Republican term has the potential to cripple America. Don't forget the judicial concerns.

I hope that Obama spoke with Gore about the down side to working with the Clintons. When the Clintons do not agree with Obama's policies or positions, they will be working/negotiating behind his back to undermine him. There are plenty of qualified running mates who will complement the Obama administration, such as Richardson and Edwards. Of course - Gore will be an excellent choice but he probably does not want to be VP again.

Kerry is not a bad choice, but the Republicans know how to swift boat him. I am sure they will be up to their horns attempting to swift boat Obama so an Obama-Kerry ticket may be too risky. But I like Kerry. Maybe he has been "vetted" and, therefore, can breeze through the swift boat.

Hey Sara from Boston–vote McCain and if he wins be prepared for a president who doesn't support equal pay for equal work for women, will appoint judges who will take control of your reproductive freedom and who will follow an economic policy that will send your sons to war and put your home on the auction block. Real smart decision, Sara.

To all you people claiming to have Dems but now have switched… WHO ARE YOU KIDDING!!!!!

The true Dems are going to win and by very big margins because of what you Reps have done to this country, and Barack Obama will lead the way out of this darkness back into the light where we belong.

Why don't anyone tell Mrs. Clinton that she is finished. She is already finished and she's not going to back down untill she destroys this party.

I just donated 20.00 to obama, i urge everyone to do the same today…make sure WE knock sniper fire Billary out of the race and soon.

For those of you who say John McCain would do this or do that, you should have thought about that before you voted for an inexperienced rookie, who cannot win, so deal with it.

NO JOINT TICKET!
Hillary would rather roll over and croak before accepting 2nd place to a black man president. It's either do or die for her and she is proving that very clearly. Unfortunately, this campaign has been and will always be about race………….

This murderer has no right to put anyone down. Had he not been in the senate he would have been in prison years ago.
It is very simple Mitchell you are not only a lier but you are stupid too. Those of you who think Obama is your God are hell bound.
This whole process has been a joke.
MCain in 08. At least he believes in AMerica. This bunch of hoodlems on here doesn't appear to believe in anything . They could care less about our country. All they know to do is call someone a lier. It makes me wonder abou their intelligence. Oh or is this the change they want in America–The kind that is filled with hate, hate, hate,
Is Kennedy part of the change? Oh I forgot he not part of the old political system. or is he? Go Hillary

OBAMA IS FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!!! HE IS RESISTING THE VOTE COUNT IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN. THAT'S CHANGE, ISN'T IT?
IF THE THE VOTES IN FLORIDA ANFD MICHIGAN COUNTS —– HILLARY IS THE WINNER. SAVVY? SO , OBAMA SUPPORTERS START CELEBRATING IF AND WHEN THE VOTES IN BOTH FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN ARE COUNTED. THE GREATEST ELECTION TEAM - CNN - SHIES AWAY FROM DISCUSSING THE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTES, HMM,

BLACKS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GIVEN TOKEN APPARENCES IN TV ADS, etc, OBAMA PUTS WHITES BEHIND HIM DURING HIS SPEECHES ON TV, HOW IRONIC !!!!!!!
HE IS FOR CHANGE.

Although, I am supporting Obama and do not want a joint ticket, some of his wording is insulting. I have never liked Ted Kennedy and this is another example why.

He is nothing but a blowhard!!! Go shut up Teddy..

Thank you, senator! Obama does'n t need such a liar in his team. NO WAY! Clintons are going down!! Finally! People hate HRC so much and will not vote for Barack if she is on the ticket! We want change, we do not want clintons in WH!! Period! I don't care if the OLD ANTS are not voting for Obama.. it is time for GENARATIONAL SHIFT!! It's more important WHO OUR KIDS WILL SUPPORT!!! Obama is our next president.

No! with both eves opened.

I think TEd kennedy needs to shut up. He was the one who challeneged Jimmy Carter, a sitting President, was down by over 500 delegates, but did not give in. We know Obama will be the nominee, just let it run its course, and in June DEMS will be energized!!!!

Just heard the supers are up in arms behind the scenes about Hillary (purposely) dividing the party by RACE to all but guarantee O'bama's loss. Paul begala… her comments yesterday, etc… They are aghast at her screwing the party like this….. which is why so far SIX supers declared for Obama TODAY…

The Democrats are making yet another grave mistake in electing there nominee:obama. McCain will be president.

Sen Kennedy knows all too well that clinton adds nothing to the ticket and we need to let Obama pick his running mate. I have full confidence that his judgement on the VP will be fine and someone that can bring home a democratic victory in the fall. Keep saying this over and over Sen. Kennedy your voice is always welcomed.

Who cares what Kennedy thinks anyway?

I wouldn't want Hillary as VP….only as President.

Keep going Hillary!!!!

I think Rev Wright was mentioned for VP.

BS on the race crap. The African Americans are the worst racist I know. If you want to loose this race in November go ahead and support Obama….This life long democrat will vote republican. And Kennedy, your a traitor to your own people. Maybe they'll send you home.

Remember the saying "United we Stand, Divided we Fall"?? That's exactly what will happen if Hillary is not on the ticket (as VP, of course).

The future president of The United States of America must be a person who commands respect from foreign nations and who symbolizes something positive about this great country. Obama is just such a person. In him the world can see living proof of America's nature; the opportunity, the racial tolerance, freedom from opression, religious variety living in harmony and all the things that the world is needing in order to end the suffering of so many peole around the world. To compromise these qualities by combining them with the ruthless ambitions of a person unsuited for leadership, from a family of doubtful moral strength with a proven record of duplicity, would send the wrong message not only to the world, but also to future generations that will see in the act an irresponsible admition that guile and deceit are valid qualities. Obabama must select a person of equal moral and personal strength as his running mate. He must be free to continue listening to his inner convictions and not be subjected to the forces of political expediency. A resounding NO to Clinton for V.P.

I throughly AGREE with KENNEDY!! After her recent show of Bullheadedness and disrespect for her partys needs…+ the old White House ways of the Clinton/Bush years…We Need a NEW start!! I hope Mr. Obama;s choice will be another person of honesty and integrity , with his interests and the intersts of the American people, first and foremost. not a spoiled, selfish bullheaded, thoughtless egomanic!! Obviously!!!
OBAMA IS THE MAN FOR THE COUNTRY!!! LETS HOPE SOON THE COUNTRY WILL BE UNITED FOR THE MAN!!

Jim webb woukld be huge ,

I would hope that he would also give consideration to somebody that has — is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Guess that rules out Jeremiah, huh? Would love to see that Wutu dance of his on the chicken and peas circuit.

Problem with Hillary is, you get Bill to too, so who will you act have to talk to…

other thing is, she is to tied with a lot of corporation's and special interest groups, so no good gain there…

I think he should choose Maria Shriver for VP.. A young white woman…

Having Hillary as VP would NOT make me vote for Obama. I've never voted for a Republican in my life, but if Obama is the nominee my vote goes to McCain.

Listen to him..he is very very old and wise

Teds hoping for the VP spot…..Obama becomes Pres….then to celebrate ….Ted will take him a drive over a bridge

I think we should throw Hillary out of the party.

Ted Kennedy is right NO NO NO ! If the ticket needs a woman there are others that can fill the bill. Janet Napolitano for instance. She would attract feminists and Catholic voters. I also like Wesley Clark., or Joe Biden.

Obama/Mary Jo 08

It's a no-brainer. Obama-Clinton ticket will win the WH for the democrats.

Here are the states Obama will win in GE

NY,CT,CA,OR,HI,WA,IL,DE,MD,DC,VT,RI.

Oooops teddy I cant see MA in the list up there.
Time for you to retire you misogynist.
