Mr Obama is doing exactly right, go ahead and begin the search for a honest, fair and trustworth person. The Clintons should not be considered.

As a Clinton supporter who is undecided about whom to vote for in the upcoming election, the VP choice is going to seriously help my vote, and I doubt that I am the only one who feels this way.

Even though many Clinton voters say they will never vote for Obama, many will come around to him. (I actually voted for him in the primary) People often ask why and how. I tell them that before Super Tuesday I was undecided and leaned toward Clinton, but there was something about Barack Obama that as a young person, you couldn't resist.

After super tuesday, he lost his luster in my eyes. I am really trying to find a reason to support Obama in the fall, but the negatives keep coming out in my eyes….maybe a VP choice will push me over the edge

Thoughts?

Please DON'T PICK HILLARY CLINTON!!! PLEASE!! IS NOT WHAT YOU STAND FOR!!

What arrogance from Obama!
Just because he holds the lead in delegates, superdelegates, states won, popular vote and is 60 delegates away from the nomination is no reason to overstep his bounds.
Do we really want such a far-thinking man as our President?

You Obama-ites, say what you will, but Hillary had better be at least offered the role, or you can expect MANY of us over 45 working women to NOT be there in the Fall. If he's such a great uniter, working across party lines and across oceans, you would think he could figure out a way to work with a fellow Democrat who's given her life to the betterment of America.

Marilyn (and all you other idiots out there),

So you think that continuing the policies of the current administration, via voting for McSame, or not voting at all) is better for this country than putting a Democrat in the White House who may not hold all of your values, but will DEFINITELY change the course this country is going down?!

If so, then you have no right to call yourself a democrat!

Still amazing to see the Obama haters out there making up reasons why there would never vote for him. Lack of experience, elitist etc etc.
I suppose daddy's boy Bush had a lot of experience. Good guy to have a beer with though.
Grow up people.

Smart. We can't wait for Hillary to figure out how to add the math in her favor. This campaign has always been a step ahead. Ready from day one.

Not sure if I trust a guy who chose runningmates for 2 LOSING TICKETS!!!

Although the problem wasn't John Edwards… it was the LOSER elitist John Kerry.

And I don't think Obama's runningmate will be the problem…. it'll be Obama and his status as a clueless, naive rookie!

LET'S PICK A WINNING TICKET THIS TIME!

GO Hillary!

If Hillary is not the VP, then I'm leaving the democratic party and voting for McCain….

I can't stand obama - Hillary, to me, is the WINNER and so if she doesn't end up on the ticket - I won't stay in the party….

I've been a democrat all my life, but this entire process has been disappointing and illegal - when you look at how the caucuses were handled.

Life long Republican voting Democrat for the first time in my life this year - and my whole family too.

(former) Republicans for Obama in '08!

Funny, b/c you aren't going to be the nominee.

Obama=Affirmative Action.

Why would the person with no experience be the nominee? B/C black people are voting for him 90%?

Hillary/Rendell 08
Hillary/Bayh 08
Hillary/Ford 08

These sound a lot better to me!

Think of this as a relay race. The Republicans are off and running. Obama is at the relay point, waiting for the baton from Hillary…and she's taking her sweet time about it. He can't wait for Hillary forever! John McCain will be too far ahead to catch! It is time to move forward so the DEMOCRATS stand a chance of winning the race!

Obama acting like a smug Chicago thug as usual. Ya go ahead and pick a running mate. You haven't secured anything yet . You do everything without ' pre-conditions " anyway…so why " change " right Barack ?

A little premature.

Take Dick Cheney!

I would say John Edwards. Chris since you are a complete idiot and didn't have nothing good to say, your message should be deleted. Why don't people answer the questions rather than say bias stuff? If you are another nominee supporter don't answer questions on other people that you didn't vote for. People show how stupid they are when I hear these negative comments. Okay Bush supporters I am calling you all out. Its all about the DNC party.

Pam…How is it pompous and presumptuous to do a job that needs to be done? John McCain is the presumptive Republican nominee and he's also started the process too. Do you think that's pompous and presumptuous? I don't know who you're supporting out of the 3 or even if you're supporting anyone at all, but it sounds to me like you're in denial like most "Clinton" supporters who thinks that she still has a shot at the nomination.

We know that's not going to happen and that Obama will be the leader, and winner, of this party in the fall! So can we just please move on and take care of the business at hand which is defeating John McBush and the rest of the Repubs. in Nov.

Obama '08!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares, I'm more interested in McCain's choice now. At least he McCain) IS the PRESUMPTIVE nominee. More posturing before the May 31 rules committee meeting….hummmmm, think he wants to force the vote….who would ever vote against ________________?

Anybody but Clinton because she'll codt you votes and double cross your administration, She's so slippery that she avoided questioning about her losing the Black vote with her"hard-working Americans, blue collar whites comment. not one Black person in America would vote for anything with her name on it. Of course the press is focused on can Obams win the white vote, which I see as white sore losers setting the table to try and steal the nomination, I'd suggest that nothing like that happen, and Ed Rendell, and the like go cry intheirbeer.

Obama is SO HIGHLY UNQUALIFIED to be the Nominee, he had better think in terms of all the qualities he doesn't possess like Government Experience, Foreign Affairs Experience, Leadership Experience, and ad infinitum. Obama has NOTHING to show for His 3 years in the Senate. Why do Voters think he can run this country? For a Candidate who Cannot offer a Decent Resume of Accomplishments to Voters, or any Future Ideas or Goals for a platform, except Two Words, Hope and Change, Obama had better find the person who SHOULD be sitting in His Shoes. Obama is the Most Unqualified Candidate who has ever attempted to run for National Office. He LACKS every quality that is necessary. It is FOOLHARDY and RIDICULOUS for the Democrats to Believe that Obama could and should be the Nominee. Obama hasn't a Clue.

This guy cannot win, democrats wake up before it too late. In good conscience, I cannot vote for Obama who has done nothing to merit the position he is seeking. If he was running for governor or something, but this is the highest position in the land.

Those of you selecting Edwards, didn't you know he's not interested?

Hillary is the only choice for VP. Unification of the party cannot be without her. He, at least, better ask her first, or he won't get my vote.

Obama/Weeb 08
Weed bling the mitaly experiance, put Mc cain to war experiance talk to rest. Nation defensive we be in the game. Edward for Antt General. Hill we have to find her self another move.

I know a lot of people feel like Hillary has earn the VP spot, however, Hillary don't "bring anything to the table" or does not support Obama's ideology of change and taking the high road when dealing with negativity. That’s like Batman picking the Joker over several available Robins to fight against crime with. I just don’t see that happening. Anybody, but Hillary.
Maybe:

Edwards
Sebelius
Colin Powell
Richardson
Webb
Hagel
Anybody but Hillary!

It's a shame that this primary has destroyed all of the Clinton's credibility. I would have liked to have seen her on the ticket at the beginning of this. But after all of Bill and Hillary's lies, pandering and dirty tactics, they have made that impossible. They have both (Hilary and Bill) done an excellent job of destroying their legacy.

Anybody but Hillary

Simple as ABC.Anyone But Clinton

Pam - a lesson in "some not all" and/or making vast generalizations would help you tremendously.

It is time for Obama to move on to the next stage. I can't wait to see who he picks. If Hillary keeps dragging this Primary on forever, we will not have enough time to prepare for November. Hillary, please do the right thing and step down gracefully.

Obama 08

WEBB SASY HE WONT DO IT, BUT I THINK OBAMA NEEDS SOMEONE WHO IS MALE, WHITE, AND FROM THE SOUTH WITH A LOT OF WORLD EXPERIENCE. SAM NUNN IS A BIT OLD, HAGEL WOULD BE GOOD.

Folks, not to be a spoiler, but John Edwards has flatly denied wanting the VP spot. However, he does seem somewhat interested in the Attorney General spot. I like Sebelius or Webb for VP, Richardson as Secretary of State, and Hillary should consider a Supreme Court Justice posistion, where she'd have all the power she could ever want.

edwards or webb!!!

obama '08

Edward G. Rendell Kathleen Sebelius Chuck Hagel. I hope it's one of those three. I really like Rendell, because he can get Obama PA and Ohio.

The perfect choice would be Jimmy Carter. Jimmy could be our chief negotiator with all of the terrorist leaders. Additionally, he could be put in charge of build new housing for all of those poor, blue collar workers who have no intention of voting for Obama this November. Yea, that's the ticket, Twiddle-E-Dee and Twiddle-E-Dumb running the country.

He can look as much as he wants and pick whoever he wants (duh we all know its Richardson the traitor), he's still going to lose in Nov.

At least 1/3 of Hillary supporters are voting for McCain and Obama won't be able to carry the important swing states. Yeeee…can't wait to see him fall.

John Edwards….

Both young family men that would be looking out for the future of our kids and grandkids. Both willing to bring change, and not the same old way of doing things.

Biden, Napolitano, Sibelius…there are a few excellent choices

Obama '08

Jumping the Gun Much Obama? I think so!

I hope he picks Hillary. I didnt support her, but we need HER support. I just wish she stopped campaigning so he could make the offer. One has to respect the millions of voters who would like to see her in the new administration. And the Clinton years were'nt so bad after all. What we do have to do is to make sure that our leader delivers CHANGE and thats why we elected Barack Obama.

It doesn't matter who he picks. A large percentage of Hillary supporters are determined to make sure the unaccomplished, radical leaning Obama does not get elected. We love our country more than our party. Join the movement to make sure Obama is defeated and his political career is ended once an for all!!!

GO TO HILLARYCLINTON.COM……..SEND E-MAIL TO RULES COMMITTEE ALL VOTES SHOULD COUNT

Wow to the comment from Chuck saying Obama using using a playbook from Rove… I believe it was the Clinton camp using rove to explain why they should be the nominee… Do you not read the news?

I am from Va and I think Webb would be an amazing choice. I fear a Hillary presidency, so I pray twice a day for the lord to deliver Obama to the white house. Clinton is manipulative, deceitful, and focused only on herself. She doesn't really care about anything unless it gets her where she wants… I still find it funny she pushes her "lead" in the popular vote by saying EVERY VOTE COUNTS when she is in fact omitting caucuses…. So again, every vote counts as long as it makes her look good. I am truly saddened Americans are supporting her and it makes me sad to be a citizen of this great nation when i see the number of people feed on her lies and corruption.

ANYONE BUT HILLARY. I am scared of her, but I am not of McCain. I think SHE will start WW3…. SHE will be the end of who we are. If Obama is not the nominee, then my money and support go to McCain.

ANYONE BUT HILLARY

I really don't want to see Hillary as his running mate… She is too good for him. It is outrageous to even suggest that she would run second to this first term, inexperienced senator.

Besides all of you who say McCain doesn't have a chance, think again. All he needs to do is take Ohio and New Mexico (which is juxtaposed with Arizona) and he has it. Guaranteed he can do this, guaranteed Obama will not meet the magic number… AGAIN!!!

Hillary Clinton for President!

By the way, I'm not voting for McCain… but I will be writing in Hillary Clinton on my ballot!!!!

Pam - I dont think its pompous and presumptuous. If Hillary thinks she's going to win, she should start thinking about that, too. Only 2 months to the convention, you know.

Chuck R - whats left to count? by the time June rolls around, Obama will have enough delegates to have clinched the nomination. I'm not being arrogant just stating fact. With Edwards getting 15% of the vote in Florida and those delegates would likely go to Obama, we'd be looking at a near 50-50 split (50-48 for Hillary, to be exact). Even if she got all of her delegates in MI and Obama didnt get any (which I doubt anyone would see as fair), she would be 90 or so delegates short with 86 left in play.

I understand many have a deep connection with Hillary. I would be happy with either candidate but the facts are that she will be short on delegates. So, most Hillary supporters are going to have to do some soul searching. Will you vote for a candidated that shares (for the most part) your candidates ideals, or will you vote for the polar opposite and put your personal pride over your country's future?

Amazing ! Why doesn't the PRESS just TELL us that they have chosen Obama and be done with it !

how will he defend his wife's "whityey" racial comments. So much for the presiendt of united state of America

It doesn't matter who the VP pick is. there is no way he'll get the 270 electoral votes he needs to win. Hillary's people will vote for McCain. I know I will. There is no question about it. He's just going through the motions. I going to create a website for all of Hillay's voters to go to and support. We can endure 4 years of McCain in preparation for 2012 for Hillary. No Obama in 2008. And you Obama supporters keep thinking that Clinton supporters will forget everything done to her and come home to the Democratic Party. We won't forget and you will get a rude awakening in the fall. A great majority of us will never support that man, and I'm black, who lives in aswing state. Penn. Go figure! go McCain!

I can honestly say the Clintons reallly surprise me on the negative way they carryed on in this campaign. Obama, please do not pick hillary as your running mate, please don't.

Hey Chuck R, wake up, Hillary had just as much to do with those states not being counted as Obama did. I

f she really cared for the principal of the matter she shouldn't have signed & agreed to strip their delegates and spoken up then. She is constantly trying to move the goalpoasts & she is really starting to hurt the party now. The superdelegates need to wake up & start committing so this can all be over before it gets really ugly.

President Obama

VP Richardson.

Sec. of State Gore

Att. General Edwards

Sen. Clinton

I agree with Obama supporter..Gov Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas.. She is a shining example of a strong woman in politics. She would make a great VP and be ready for 2016….

GO OBAMA, all the way to the WH in NOV 08

If he dosent pick Hillary, HE WILL NEVER WIN!

Great! Always being Pro-active……However, it would be his WORSE presidental decision if he puts Sen. Clinton on the ticket.

Everyone talks about his lack of support from her supporters. At least he is getting somewhere between 35 - 40 percent from her big state wins. Has anyone asked why she can't get more than 7% (ave.) of the African American vote? Hmmmmmm……..

Sen. Obama risks not getting full support from them if she's on the ticket. They are a larger force than her supporters.

Sen. Clinton is not worth the time or effort to have on the ticket. She will, as well as Bill, will undermine his agenda.

Right now with her contant pushing of her agenda is why majority of the superdelegates don't like her……

HRC is a crazy woman. I am so sorry but she needs help of a physiatrist.

Its soo funny that everyone is still saying Obama is beign so nice. Its a crock, he's doing everything possible to make his last few losses seem forgetable. Also over a month ago Hillary and others said this would go through to june. Its not June yet why now? This is ridiculous.

Every time he was asked about the possibility of a joint ticket with Hillary he responded by saying it was too early to say. I hope we finally get to hear a yes or no on this instead of more political posturing.

Pick Hagel! He'll siphon votes from John McCain!

Hillary is the only way to go if Obama is serious about the Whitehouse.
That is if he want's to Win. A LOT MORE PEOPLE HAVE VOTED FOR HER AND WERE IT MATTERS!!!

I was against Hillary as VP, but you should at least consider it. It would help unify the party. Just watch your back. She knows people…

Jim Webb was a favorite of mine and threw some money his way when he ran in my old State of Virginia. However, he is a rabid Hillary supporter, so you have to wonder about the guy.

As for Jim being a Vietnam Veteran, look how well that has worked for Kerry and McCain. The "Swift Boaters" and Karl Rove can quickly make even a John Wayne look like some pantywaist traitor to his country, with a few well placed innuendos.

It seems when it comes to politics, you are best served by leaving your military service out of the picture.

You know, George McGovern was a B-24 Liberator pilot in WW II? You have to have a lot of guts to fly one of those deathtraps. But he never made a big deal out of it. George McGovern, who knew?

Edwards. It's easy enough. Just pick Edwards.

If he can find Bin Laden, that would be good for Barack…..Might help his image in the arab world and the dems certainly would like to talk with him.

Good for Barak. Time to put this Hillary nonsense behind him. The Florida and Michigan controversy is at moot point this far into the campaign. The people in Florida and Michigan need to realize, this is not a constitutional right to have our votes counted in a primary. This is a primary election, not a general election. This election has different rules. If the party wanted, they could decide to not count any states votes and just go with super-delegates. This election is run by the political parties, not the federal government. there is no rule/law/right that says these votes need to be counted, Hell there is no rule/law/right that says a primary election even needs to take place. Get over it. I am a white female from Florida and guess what, I HAVE GOTTEN OVER IT!!! Hillary it's time to reunite the party, stop ruining the Democrats chances of bringing about change to the country. Barak, I am a hard-working, white, female, pick me!!!!! I can get those votes that Hillary says you can't.

It's incredible that some people call themselves Democrats and still wouldn't vote for the nominee if it isn't their favorite. Don't fool yourself, you're not a Democrat - you're a hypocrite

Webb, Sebelius or Clarke.

I'm already seeing the comments that are going to come flooding in about this being presumptuous and that Obama is arrogant, etc. First of all, let's wait until the actual Obama campaign says that they are searching for a VP, not some unnamed democratic source who could be from anywhere (and be supporting any candidate). Second of all, if he is, so what? He's not shouting it to the world, obviously. He's doing it "quietly." He's not trying to shame Hillary, he's just preparing for the race as best as he can. Just because he's putting out an inquiry doesn't mean he'll have a VP in the next week. Probably the next month OR SO. This is, as someone stated above, planning ahead. He has been more than careful in all interviews I've seen with him to say that they are still in this primary race and that Clinton has waged a good campaign. He knows she has. He's not denying that. This is more of a time factor than even a win factor. If he IS going to win, he's going to have to start looking for a VP soon. If he doesn't win, then sure it's all gone to waste, but at least he was prepared to win. If he started this process at the time when Hillary finally does quit, if she does, or IF he does win, then he would seem unprepared. No, he's quietly laying down the tracks just in case. At least that's the way I see it.
And of course, the media is just looking for something to print because they need to. I'm not saying CNN is bad, just that they are a part of the media. Any lead, they follow. This is a lead, albeit by someone who may or may not actually be close to Obama's party, or actually know anything about what they are doing, but, still, it's something to report. And it will lead to much speculation and at least an hours worth of strategic discussions by someone on some news show.

IF obama picks anyone besides Hillary Clinton, I will without a doubt be voting for MCCAIN.

Hillary Supporters UNITE!

Not so fast, Mr. Presumptuous. You're still not the nominee, and it is easy to see that Hillary is the most qualified for the No. 1 spot. Why wouldn't she also be most qualified for the No. 2 spot? No reason at all.

Marilyn…You are not a Democrat if you won't vote for Obama…You sound more like a Republican in disguise…

I agree with Pam, it is pompous and presumptuous to be publicly start choosing a VP when you haven't won the nomination yet. I mean how close is the popular vote? We dont need a repeat of the 2000 general election but guess what, it looks like it is, especially with FL involved again.

Pam has a good point, Obama doesnt have the national political track record experience and he doesnt have the experience of working on foreign policies either.

It may be time for a change as some have said, but what good is that if you dont bring experience to the table

Obama is a freshman trying to play the big time game

Hillary all the way

Any one but Hill billy. So so tired of her and her lies, don't know what women are thinking that continue to support. Has to be the gender thing??

He is absolutely right to concentrate on the real issues : How to win in November and start campaigning instead of wasting time with Clinton's antics. Go ahead Barack !

HRC in my opinion, is in a serious state of denial. Sen. Obama should move on and the Superdelegates should do their job and just go ahead and step up to the plate. Endorse Obama so he can get started on campaigning for the GE. They are just appeasing HRC to let her continue on with this nonsense of campaigning, knowing full well she cannot win. One would think that they are not as serious about winning the 2008 Presidency as is being protrayed.

He needs Hillary to win!
Hope is great but it is not experience, savvy and realism.
He needs to be supported by her in order to be successful .
This has become about charisma. personality and Biil , not about her merits. What did the Clinton's do wrong that wasn't personal?

Change can be effected by someone with experience!
And who dragged who down!

BIll Richardson
Joe Biden
Jim Webb
John Edwards

For the record, Michigan and Florida voters should be mad…mad with Michigan and Florida though. Hillary/Edwards/Obama had nothing to do with those states changing the rules. They knew the ramifications before they decided to move their primary up.

I think his VP should be the governor of Kansas.If not than senator
kerry ; Atty. General John Edwards;Secty of State Sam Nunn;
secty of defense Gen. Wesley Clark;Surpreme court Judges
Hillary Clinton .Secty. of commerce Nick Romney,Press
Secty Brazil .

i would peronally like to see ….and OBAMA /RONPAUL ticket

Ron Paul has excellent ideas about getting us back to the America we love.

Hagle VP
Edwards Health and Human Services
Richardson Sec. of State
Wesley Clark Sec.of Defense
Bill Clinton Amb. to France

Democratic party is once again in the process of making a great mistake(a great folly) in its history, by nominating Barack Hussein Obama as its presidential candidate. Its a pity that Mccain will be elected as the next President of America, as the Americans have no other better choice.
Many Republicans and independents voted for Obama in the primaries because they did not want Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Nominee. Its wishful thinking on the Democrats, if the they do believe that these people are going to vote for Obama in the Presidential election.

Obama/Strickland

Obama/Clinton

Obama/Kaine

Obama/Brown

you can take that to the bank…

While I didn't like her pandering, Hillary would still be the number one choice for veep candidate. After Pennsylvania, she has too many delegates to be left aside. She just shouldn't get any power in an Obama administration.

Lots of great options out there. For the love of god, no Hillary. That would signal weakness and an inability to take "not this time" seriously.

and out of touch,u guys out there beware of what ur wishing for

I think McCain and Obama should just partner up and be done with it. Afterall, McCain only wants it for 4 years and they both are pretty liberal. Not to mention the fact that Obama has treated McCain a heck of a lot nicer than Hillary Clinton.

It amuses me to see the 'educated' Obama supporters continue to attack Hillary and drive her supporters over to the smart side.

Keep up the good work

ALRIGHT! AT FIRST I WANTED HILLARY AS HIS V.P., BUT AS OF LATELY, I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF HER I CAN TAKE. BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER, AS LONG AS "McBUSH" DOESN'T GET INTO THE WHITE HOUSE!

Marilyn you are not a Democrat if you won't vote for Obama…You sound more like a Republican in disguise to me….

He has pushed this entire election in an attempt to shove Hillary to the side and make us believe this election process is somewhere its not.
Someone told me "thats politics". I would think the CNN would be smart enough to know the difference between what is NEWS and what is not news. I no longer view CNN as a "news agency" and Im sure there are others that feel the same.

Anybody but Hillary.

Obama / Hagel 08 The winning ticket!!!!

Chuck R: Stop whining - BOTH Hillary and Obama agreed to the rules on disregarding FL and MI because FL and MI broke the party rules!

I was thinking he should nominate Wesley Clark!

Oh, and I like change. The sign says it's time for it.

Hillary Clinton ALL the way!!!! We don't want ON THE JOB TRAINING President. Obama is full of contradictions, his words are in COLLISION COURSE!

I like either Hagel or Gov Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas. John Edwards would be good for Attorney General. HIllary should have been a nurse in another life. If she is offered anything out of pity it should only be Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Obama/Sebelius '08 and '12

Kathleen Sebelius, she is a woman, so that will help with women angry at Clinton's loss, and she knows the economy very well since she is doing a wonderfull job in Kansas. Edwards can have the Dept. of labor and to make peace with the Clintons I would ask Hillary to work on the Health Dept.

Need to pick someone with more economic, domestic and foreign policy experience and vision than Obama has. Best start with 8th graders and work your way up.

Obama/Sebelius
Obama/Richardson
Obama/Hagel

Either combo will send McBush packing to one of his eight trophy homes.

let's go Mr. President……it's about time.

I am sure Hillary has some people in mind, as well, and I hope it is not Senator Obama

FL and MI will be seated, Obama will get the Uncommitted vote of MI, and he'll still have an insurmountable lead. It's good he's moving on, the party needs to move on and not keep pouring salt into this wound and adding to the divide happening within the party.

Here's a good idea. Use the same guy who worked for Kerry and Mondale. They were so successful that it makes sense!

Don't matter when you'll never be president.

Doesn't matter who he gets, I would not vote for Obama if he was the only thing running for President. This is a 100% true statement. My husband, daughter and son will never vote for Obama.

Hillary for President

anyone, but hillarious…

So I guess the votes from the remaining states and PR don't matter?! Why bother wasting money having them then. Let us just let Iowa decide every 4 years and screw the rest of us. Some democrat he is. He is a worst phony than George Bush. For the first time in my life I am ashamed to be a Democrat. This primary season nauseated me in the way the media gave Obama a free ride, while treating Clinton harshly. I am definately demoralized with this election process. I will not vote for Obama, just have to decide if I should stay at home or vote for McCain.

Looking for you to run to the middle now Mr. Obama and pick your running mate with that in mind

As I read the blogs from other articles, I cannot believe that Obama wants to comprimise about the MI/FL vote. I understand that their states votes will affect the general election, but HE was not on the ballot due to DNC RULES! This is why I am An OBAMA supporter! He is a good man and will listen to the will of the people and not indulge in selfish behaviors! I hope that OBAMA picks a running mate that has the same drive, understanding and willing to makes the neccesary changes needed to make this country great again!!!!!!

Remember people the world is watching!!!!!!

OBAMA/HAGEL,WEBB or Richadson 2008

Moving forward w/o Hillary in mind. You go Barack. Handle your business.

Obama 08′

Obama needs to pick someone with name recognition and star power, but someone he can trust, who won't overshadow him or try to work against him.

I wish Edwards were interested. He would be super. Biden has the right kind of energy, but he tends to stick his foot in his own mouth at the most inopportune moments. Dodd might be good, but won't help Obama pick up rural white folks. I don't know what Napolitano or Sebelius or McCaskill would be like. If Obama picked one of them or Jim Webb or Sam Nunn or Tim Kaine, I don't know if voters will have enough time to get to know that person, because the time is getting short with the Democratic race dragging on and on so long.

No Hillary because she does not know how to follow rules. We need honest people in the White Houes this time. Change is what we want. How can we teach our kids to follow rules but the president won't. She keeps moving the goal post. All of you racist you can vote McSame but we will still win this thing just to keep you from blowing off you own foot. We are here to help you see things through normal people eyes, not the closed eyes of your racist past.
Anybody but Clinton.
Obama08

Kathleen Sebelius

nuff said

Why bother?

You can't win anyway.

I hope he picks a woman either a govenor (Kansas) or former govenor or former senator.

Too bad Obama will not be the nominee, so it might be a waste of time for him. lol

Webb or Hagel…sure winner in Nov.

(IF) OBAMA WINS; ALL SENATOR HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS —SHOULD WRITE A VOTE- IN FOR HER ON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BALLOT. GO HILLARY!

Obama should declare his self President now, what an arrogant nincompoop! He's a legend in his own mind.

You better pick Webb.

I keep reading comments like Pam's about Obama's inexperience. But, what experience does Clinton have? Does being someone's spouse provide OJT? If I were married to a heart surgeon, would that provide me with experience being a Dr.?

Obama has as much experience as Abraham Lincoln. It's about character and trustworthiness. Pam, can you really say that you "trust" Hillary Clinton? If so, you are in the minority. How can American's vote for someone they (in almost every poll) say they can't trust? That makes NO sense to me…none, whatsoever.

Hillary is also looking at her VP choices so not so fast buster!

Marilyn,
Are you informed of the current issues that plague out country? Are you one of the Democrats that didn't cote in 2004 because Kerry was a flip-flopper. Or maybe you were one of the people that fell for the argument that gays don't deserve the same rights as married couples. Either way do you really want to contribute to the further decline of our great nation. If so…keep up the good work. We matter. How we vote makes the difference. Don't base your precious vote on emotions that can cripple both you and our nation.
VOTE FOR CHANGE
Obama '08

What kind of track record did Bush have before he was elected?

Look at the mess our country is in now! Our economy is in shambles and the working poor are now even poorer. They have no health care, can't feed their children and can hardly afford the gas it takes to get them to their minimum wage jobs.

Just say you don't want to vote for Obama because he is not white and be done with it. But you have to know that anyone will do a better job then Bush or McBush.

I do not believe this is too early. Barack needs to really plan ahead. Very exciting for America and the rest of the World.

Obama '08

Hey Obama how about your Michelle ??

Hillary or the Woman from Kansas, we still need to make history here folks. Everyone is about change but Hagel and Webb still rep. old politics

I AM A DIE HARD CLINTON SUPPORTER WHO WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE HER IN THE #2 POSITION. I WANT TO SEE HER GET TO THE FINISH LINE - WHATEVER THE OUTCOME WILL BE AND BOW OUT OR BECOME PRESIDENT!!

SHE IS SMART AND SHE WOULD HAVE MADE THE BEST PRESIDENT BUT IT IS UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN THIS TIME AROUND! OBAMA CAN CHOOSE WHOEVER. I DON'T CARE AT THIS POINT

Jim Webb is an amazing man with a long senate carreer ahead. He is the real straight talk express and will do wonders in the Senate. He could be a future president as well. Please, as good as he would be as VP do not pick him. Give Hillary the AG spot or a supreme court nod. Edwards, Hagel, or Wesley Clark for VP.

Governor Kathleen Sebelius would be a excellent choice. I think that she would be viewed as a kinder, gentler version of Sillary.

Hi has pushed this entire election in an attempt to shove Hillary to the side and make us believe this election process is somewhere its not.
Someone told me "thats politics". I would think the CNN would be smart enough to know the difference between what is NEWS

Kathleen Sebelius - unlike Hillary you can believe what she says. A very poised and articulate lady, I believe that she would be a highly respected addition to any ticket.

To all the Hilary supports and democrats that will not vote for Obama. Listen I am not an Obama supporter, but the facts are the facts!! Three new justices will be names to the Supreme Court over the next 4 years, ask yourself –do we want McCain to roll back Roe-vs.-Wade — and a women's right to choose what happens to their body. This is SERIOUS people –it is no time for hurt feeling!!! GET OVER IT –I AM!! I DON'T WANT to pay $10 a gallon for gas. TOO MUCH is at stake!!

Signed,
A Hillary supporter but a REALIST 1st

Webb and Hagel are fine suggestions, but I hope he picks Joe Biden- 35 years in the Senate, a master of foreign policy, and a rare combination of gravitas, know-how, and charisma. And with his Rust Belt background from Scranton and Syracuse, he can get the votes that Obama needs to win, and allay fears of inexperience.

Pam, you can't be serious! Hilary is no better. With all of her "White House experience" and bedside chats with the former president she had to be one of the most informed Senators when it came time to vote for the Iraq war, yet she still (knowingly?) made the wrong choice. To this day she denies the fact that mathematically she can't win. Hmmm… denies facts to believe what she wants to believe…. sounds like she'd be another retard in the White House!

I'll take my chances with Obama!

This is the guy who fought hard not to let Florida and Michigan re-vote an d today i here Obama saying we need to seat al lhe delegates form both Florida and michigan is this guy the biggest liar, Im all for votes counting in this Country. Obama is going to really open everyones eyes in November, he is gauranted to fail

It does not matter who he picks. The Republicans are going to win this one. This whole Obama thing is a conspiracy for us to lose, and we fell for it. What policies does this man have waiting for us? Beides CHANGE.. anyone ever listen to what he says it is vague. Maybe oprah will be his runing mate

Hillary obviously.

No matter what you naysayers spout… They would be unbeatable.

Chuck R,

Obama should look ahead because if you've been paying attention, which apparently you haven't, there is no way the numbers can add up for Clinton. Not only is the race over, it's been over for weeks now, but Clinton won't bow out and is determined to divide the party to make her point.

And not only is she hurting the party, she is hurting her chances for anything in the future. People will not forget how she campaigned this time around.

Obama '08

I love these posters that claim "I'm a democrat" but I won't vote for Obama. LOL

PUH-LEEZE

Keep posting everyday, see if it really makes a difference. A notebook can run against McInsane now and win. With the repugnicans ruining the country on GW's orders, C'mon. If you are intelligent and alive you know Mcinsane in bad news.

You people who claim Obama is in inexperienced, are just plain stupid - its the best way i can put it.

bush was an 'experienced' politician, former governor or Texas, and look what he did to the US. Because of bush's 'experience', as a Canadian we are paying $1.30 a litre at the pump (nearly $5 a gallon). How you ask? because the US economy and the strength of the American dollar affects everyone world wide, especially since the dollar is so weak and it is the main trading currency for oil.

So if you guys are taking about experience, think different! this experience has done oh so well in the US for the past 7 years …

OBAMA 08 - win it Barack

Who cares. I'm a lifelong Democrat, as are the rest of my family. After this sham of a primary, we will all be voting for McCain this fall. In fact, now that I've witnessed just how undemocratic the Democratic Party can be, I'm not sure I'll want anything to do with it for quite some time. At least the Republicans are honest about their positions. This selective moral outrage and race-baiting that the Democratic Party has engaged in this primary has me beyond peeved. I finally see now what the GOP has warned about for years re: playing identity politics. Look at what it has gotten us as "our" likely nominee due to total gamesmanship: someone with the thinnest resume yet who is wholly unqualified to run this country — and all at a time when this country needs more than ever someone with the leadership and experience to steer this ship right. And that is NOT Barack (waaah-waaaah; they are picking me) "Present" Obama.

I am a Democrat but, I have reservations about Obama, I think he is a academic snob, not in line for what the Democratic Party stands for.the ordinary folks. I may sit this one out.

For you Clinton voters, you got beat fair and square. All you are doing is destroying the Party and be asured that John McCain will be the next President. I didn’t vote for Hillary but if she beats Obama in a fair contest, follows the rules ,you will beat I would vote for her. So here it is, if Hillary voters that got beat fair & square, and can not support Obama because he won by following the rules, then ya’ll have succeeded and destroyed the Demo Party and John will be the next President. Sad situation isn’t it!???!!!

No Hagel. I don't want any Republican, no matter haw blue, anywhere near the next administration.

Obama Obama Obama…BARACK OBAMA right..
I'm trying to get used to the name we're going to hear in the next eight years…
Clinton ! Who ???? Oh is Monica still out there??

He should pick John McCain. That would really mess people up.

Bill Richardson would give him the foreign policy experience, help with the Hispanic vote and put pressure on McCain in the Southwest. Forget about the goober vote - they won't vote for Obama no matter who he chooses.

Kathleen Sebelius…Kathleen Sebelius…Kathleen Sebelius

If McCain picks the Gov of FL or LA, Obama is going to be in a pickle. Obama needs a strong Gov of a swing state by his side. If he doesn't ask Hillary (which I think he should), then he would be BEST served by choosing the Bayh of Indiana….he has to address and combat the inherent racism in rural America whatever he does. Bayh would go a long way towards doing that….

Claire McKaskel from Missouri would be perfect. She is always out there defending him and pushing his cause. it would satisfy the women that are backing Clinton.
Please, please don't pick Hillary….Any other woman!

it would demonstrate obama's committment to working together if he chooses a republican as his VP. dems might not like the idea, but if the person is qualified and able to help end the gridlock, then the choice will be good for the country.

MAY GOD ALMIGHTY SHOW YOU ; WHO TO CHOOSE ASK V:P PRAY VERY WELL BEFORE YOU MAKE A CHOICE: GO OBAMA O8

the iletist and eggheads in the democratic party make guy head full of him self i fell sad his out of control

JIM WEBB, HARRY REID, JOHN EDWARDS, JOE BIDEN, CHUCK HAGEL, BILL RICHARDSON, BILL GATES. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE SUCH A WIDE FIELD TO CHOSE FROM UNLIKE JOHN MCCAIN'S BUSH CLONES.

Jim Webb seems to be the top - Great leader with military background
Edwards is good on his team but not VP
Hillary has way to much dirt the GOP will use - and America needs a change - Let alone having Bill in the background

IT CAN BE WISE FOR OBAMA TO PICK HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT ONCE HE BECOMES THE DEMOCRAT IF HE WANT TO POTRAY HIMSELF AS UNIFYING LEADER AND IF HE WANT TO MAKE AMERICANS BELIEVE IN A WHAT I CALL AS SOUTH AFRICAN A RAINBOW NATION.

Clinton for VP - I can't believe I'm saying it!! But I think it is the fair and logical choice. It will be an unbeatable ticket. And let's face it - except for Foreign policy, they share almost identical positions.

I've lost a lot of respect for her. But I'm a realist - and I want the dems to win.

Marilyn

If you are a democrat, you are a poor excuse for one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama 08

OBAMA-HAGEL. 08 Chuck Hagel is anti-Iraq War , and anti-bush Republican. He is very well versed in foreign affairs.

It dosent metter who he picks. He still will be a loser.

He needs to pick up his toys and go play at home with Michelle.
Both of them are nuts !

Don't you think it is premature. Not all the states have voted and Fl and MI haven't been decided along with you even being the nominee.

Nothing worse then a snop such as Obama.

It sure will be funny when Hillary kicks your rear end in the next constest and takes the nomination.

I think Webb is a great choice, or maybe Sebilius.

And by the way, if Sen. Clinton is so bent out of shape about Florida and Michigan counting, where was she all those months ago when the decision was made (including by those on her own campaign staff) to not certify the votes and strip them of delegates? If she truly cared and feared a repeat of 2000, why wasn't she yelling and screaming to the Miami Herald and Grand Rapids Press?

Oh, that's right, she didn't think she'd need them…

Pam - Neither did Abraham Lincoln. His story and Obama's are very similar. Neither did Bill Clinton, he had only served in Arkansas' state government.

I think we can all agree that having a "national political track record" hasn't served the current administration very well. It really should not be the measuring stick.

NO CLINTON ON THE TICKET!!! Anybody else is welcome!! Go Barack, go ! The only way you can lose in November is having HRC, the liar, the evil as a running mate!

Anybody but Clinton.

When I hear Hillary supporters who say they won't vote for Obama in the general election….I'm thinking that they would rather continue having our young men and woman die in a senseless war than to vote for change!!A vote for McCain is a vote for war you idiots!!……Obama/Edwards 08′

Edwards wont garner Obama enough votes. He hasn't been able to energize democratic voters, let alone moderate republicans. Jim Webb is too inexperienced and is virtually unknown. Having an inexperienced Pres and an inexperienced VP is not a winning combo. We are in economic hard times right now and our place as a global leader has been severely weakened. We need to get serious and stop making this process a popularity contest. We can't afford to pick the best person based on race or gender. We need experienced change agents. Obama needs to pick someone with an impressive resume of effecting positive change on a national (not state) level. He needs someone with the credentials he currently lacks.

Democrats who won't vote for Obama are either stupid or racist. There is very little difference in the policy proposals of Clinton and Obama. There is a WORLD

Webb has already said he won't be Obama's VP. Of course that could change. Edwards makes sense as well.

Anyone but Hillary, she would be a liability.

John Edwards would be great but he has said that he will not run for
any position. He probably wants to spend time with his wife who has cancer.

Obama has alot of young republicans working for him okay people brillant and also people who secretly have ties who work for mccain thats why obama's camp is so organized and updated on everything.

I wouldn't be surprised if he beats mccain.

Way to go, Barack! Let the VP selection begin, regardless of what Hillary may say that "it's not over yet." Obviously she still feels like the American electorate owes her the nomination and that she deserves it more than you. it's over for her and we all know it, even many of her supporters.

Good luck and success in your nomination and in finding your choice of Vice-President of the United State of America.

No to Hillary as Veep
John Edwards already said he wouldn't take it.

I am sure he will pick the right person. I trust him and he has run an excellent campaign and made good decisions to this point. I am sure he will do this same with this choice.

Just please…say NO to Hillary!!!

We need to warp this up and come together….or we WILL loose in the Fall. We can't take this to the convention in August!!!!

It won't happen, but I'd love to see Colin Powell as his VP.

Its odd to that Clinton supporters always refer to Obama's lack of national experience..Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas before he became president and that seemed to work out well.

Edwards for VP!

Too early to say it.

Excuse me but he is NOT the nominee. I have never heard of anyone pretending he is the nominee before it actually happened. I guess he wants to alienate Clinton supporters even more than he already has.
What a poseur.

Stop calling for John Edwards. While I agree he would be a good choice, he has repeatedly said over and over that he has no interest in the position. Obama needs somebody that can win over the Appalachian region, the kind of voters who are not ready for a black president, even though Obama is 50% white.

JOHN EDWARDS,WHAT A TEAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS EASY

I am scared of republicans: Chuck Hagel scares me…although I think he would be fine (not the best choice though)

Bill Richardson would bring extensive foreign affairs experience, & would help with Latino & Western votes, which are critical for Obama. He also has the executive experience as a governor.

Kathleen Sebelius I say. Great women Great choice. this is a women of great character. honesty and Integrety. she is an absolute
Sweet Heart…. I listen to her speak and this would be a powerful ticket…..

OBAMA / SEBELIUS 08

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!

If Obama doesn't pick a female as his VP, he'll lose. He can't even begin to think he is going to win if he can't get women who voted for Hillary on his side, not to mention those "pesky" blue collar voters. BTW, he'g gone back to the stadium settings again, igonoring the rural areas. Did it work for Kerry or Dukakis?

Chuck Hagel would be a good veep but whoever Obama chooses, he will use his instincts and the God's will to guide him.

No one had more experience than BUSH and his advisers. That worked out so well.

Also, Hillary has been an elected official for less time than Obama.

Being first lady and a corporate layer for walmart don't count toward relevant experience.

he has gotten less than half of all votes cast for dems. He would be a very smart man to choose the one who has gotton the other 50%+, thats the way to get my vote

Well…barack i think you should try making clinton feel she's not lost and you'd better offer the spot to her..
But.but.but…i fear she will not go well with him..imagine a vindictive republican offering help to obama..will she be like that??

Obama/New Day '08

Give it up, Pam. Take a deep breath. Let it go. It's over. It'll be o.k.

Obama needs someone that Clinton's supporters will like, and while this doesn’t necessitate a woman he does have plenty of good female choices: Maria Cantwell, Janet Napolitano, Kathleen Sebelius . . . I'd suggest Kristie Kenney but she'd probably make a better Secretary of State. Napolitano would be particularly interesting against McCain, but Obama might want to avoid that friction.

Please no Hillary. That will be a big mistake because not only will you be selecting her but her Bill too.
We trust that Obama will choose the best V.P. And I know whomever he choses beside Hillary will be a very good one no doubt.

Way to go Obama!
Keep up the good work!

No Edwards, No Clinton! Kathleen Sebelius or Wesley Clark!

This shows how arrogant Obama is? He is not the nominee yet!

Break out Michael Dukkakis out of mothballs. We could call it the Ultra Liberal Dream Team Ticket.
