Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton — a mother and daughter team of course! Since they have already dodged snipers they can take on anything together!

McCain and Lou Dobbs — since McCain says he crosses party lines anyway! This will allows for Mr. Independent to have a bigger voice.

Obama and Rev. Al Sharton — because both will need alot of hope to get elected!

Happy Memorial Day to our troops and their families for protecting and defending our freedom. Many thanks to our troops returned from combat. Thank You!

I would pick Hillary to top the ticket and Obama as veep. I believe that Hillary has more experience and will be a better leader. Obama would gain much needed experience as VP. Therefore, at a later date he would be a stronger Presidential candidate.

Obama’s camp is under the mistaken impression that he will be able to change Clinton supporters minds. I’ve seen nothing, except lack of experience, and a campfire we can do this mindset. I WILL not be swayed! I will not vote for him as President no matter what case he makes. The manner in which he has carried out this campaign has completely turned me off to him.

I know it’s really a long shot, but Hillary Clinton with Barack Obama as VP is my favorite ticket. The US needs a woman as president and as of yet, I haven’t heard her sell her gender as a positive point. In my mind this is the major reason I would vote for her, not the least reason. A woman president would have a woman’s best interests at heart. Men I’m afraid just don’t get it. Let Obama try and win it in the next race when Clinton is done and he’s got some experience under his belt. (Oh yes, and to the woman in the clip from Kentucky, shown the other night - absolutely no where does it say in the bible that a womans place is in the home. On the contrary, it says she is to go out and help support her family. My church reads the duties of a wife and mother according to the bible every Mother’s Day and I become overwhelmed and stressed by the list of responsibilities - including working to bring money into her family.)

I think the only way Obama can win in November is if Clinton is VP. Otherwise there will be too many people who either won’t vote for him because Clinton didn’t win the nomination or too many people who will vote for McCain. Men running these campaigns have no idea of the silent rage and strong will of so many women scorned.

For the other side I like John McCain and Huckabee. I love Mike - he’s down to earth, faith based and just fun to see around - oh yes, really smart too. He gets the average persons point of view.

Hillary to pick Barack as VP.

I doubt Hillary would accept to be Barack’s VP. She has too much experience and I don’t think she would settle for second.

If Obama picks Edwards as VP, then it’s over for the Democrats.

McCain with Christ as his VP. I think C. Christ has been a great governor for FL, and he has the charisma it takes to campaign. I believe they would complement each other.

Sen. hillary Clinton and no one, because she is out of the race and I think it is silly to pretend that she isn’t.

Senator John McCain and Charlie Crist. Florida is in play, whether Senator Clinton thinks so or not. Also, Crist is a moderate Republican, which means he won’t scare away independents.

Senator Barack Obama and Governor Bill Richardson- Obama’s ideas are very good, but he need foreign policy gravitas and someone who knows how to implement diplomacy on the first day. Richardson has been in the House, a chief executive and part of the federal executive branch. Bill Richardson’s debate style isn’t great, but that isn’t where his strengths need to be. Also, it will help with Hispanics.

Didn’t Clinton carry New Mexico and then Bill Richardson turned his back on the state and endorse Obama?

Anyone would be better than who we have now!!

For McCain, I would like to see Christ as the V.P.

For Hillary Gov. Rendell from PA.

For Obama, I don’t care because no one could make me vote for him. I suppose any of the following picks….

Rev. Wright, William Ayers, Rev. Meeks, Tony Rezko…I think you get the point.

Well, Hillary wants to take this battle to the convention floor and encourage people to follow the rules ONLY when they are convenient (seat unlawful voters). Well, Bill Clinton did this for 8 years and lied under oath, George Bush has rarely followed the laws for 8 years, and now Hillary wants to continue the tradition. I’m tired of this! I need and deserve a presidential candidate (and hopefully president) who 1) has integrity, 2) follows the rules, even when incoveneient or especially when painful, and 3) has control over his/her ‘persistence’ when it comes in conflict with the laws/rules. Doing ANYTHING to win is not a value we need in a world leadership position.

Obama should be President and bring ‘change’ to the country’s betterment. Hilary might make a good veep by running interference for him and warning him of who could be trusted etc BUT I doubt that she would do it honestly. Any strides he would make she would try to make deals behind the scene to benefit herself.

She lost me when she called Obama an elitest. He got training an a scholarship fom Harvard from hard work. I tell my kids to work hard in school and maybe they can go to Harvard one day. He did it. But Hiliary, even though she is a mother, choose to attack his accomplishment and would probably do the same thing if he put her on his ticket as veep. We don’t need old experience we need new ideas outside the box to save this coutry. The old guard have given the country away. America is not America any more.

I’d like to see Obama with Ayers… I think it would be a great team considering they walk in the same circles and as “Birds of a Feather” I’m sure they think the same.

OBAMA - AYERS 09

Senator Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, because they would get all of the votes, that would have gone to John McCain…

Senator Clinton is the one person that would be right for the VP, because she could help Senator Obama obtain the votes which he desperately needs of Hispanic’s and the Anglo’s, I think they would make a great team, they both think along the same lines and they would give John McCain a run for his money.

Any conservative President and any conservative VP . Neither Hillary nor Obama is saying that taxes are too high and that congress spends too much. We’re getting screwed with taxes. (Even the gas tax in Chicago is 20 percent !) I feel like Im living in socialist Europe here.

I agree 100%!!

Obama has become a bit arrogant. A presumptive nomination shouldn’t turn someone from a confident candidant to an arrogant one. He’ll be a good-ol’-boy in a matter of months.

I, and the rest of America (hopefully), would like to see Hillary as President with Obama as VP.

It just makes perfect sense.

I have to agree with Lesli above and say that Obama needs to be VP first and gain some experience before jumping into the front seat. Hillary was next to Bill Clinton throughout his presidency so she basically already knows the ropes around the White House. Obama should surrender to Hillary and be her running mate to actually bring democracy back to the house. If they continue to fight against each other then McCain is gonna end up winning in the end, and that will be a sad opicture. She should become President and have Obama as VP no doubt.

-Jose in Miami

The Dems should go with the Obama/Webb ticket.
It offsets any of talk of John McCain being the one
with the most foreign policy /military experience. Also,
Webb is a Vietnam vet who wants to end the Iraq war.

McCain should probably go with Gov Christ but
considering his roll in this voting problem in Florida
it could be viewed as a chance for payback.

Hillary is a tougher choice . She might be burning
to many bridges by threatening to go nuclear.

There are two viable options for Obama. First, Obama should go for a VP that compensates and strengthen him in the fight against McCain. McCain’s strongest argument is his national security and foreign relations experience. Thus, Obama should pick VP who has rich experience in the national security issues and foreign relations. Rcihardson or Clark, among others, will be ideal candidates for VP in this respect.

Second, the core of Obama’s campaign is changing Washington. In this respect, Obama needs to pick non-Washington insider. Maybe of the governors from Penn State, Ohio, etc. Such choice will help Obama to connect with blue collars and at the same time stay in tune with his core message: changing Washington.

Sen. Hillary Clinton & Harold Ford Jr. of Tennessee, former Congressman, a moderate Democrat and would pull some of the African-American vote back into play for Sen. Clinton. He lost by only a few percentage points in his race for the Senate in Tenn and lost only because of the Tenn Republican sleaze campaign against him. He’s smart, he’s young, and most important he is not a left-wing liberal.

Sen. John McCain & Christee Todd Whitman, former governor of New Jersey. A moderate Republican who would help greatly in the Northeast and would get a lot of women votes that were Clinton supporters who will not vote for Obama.

Sen. Barack Obama & former governor Mark Warner of Virginia. He is a moderate Democrat and would counter the left-wing liberal label Obama is going to have hung around his neck by the Republicans. Very popular in Virginia and would put Viginia into play for the Democrats. He is another young, smart moderate Democrat who will help Obama with the white working class vote.

McCain and I don’t care!

Barack and Kansas Gov Kathleen! This may offset the disgruntled Clinton voters, since they believe Clinton lost unfairly…

Clinton and I don’t care…see above where it says “…Clinton lost…”

A McCain / Huckabee ticket would be a good compromise ticket to get conservative voters to turn out in Nov. Romney is too vulnerable to the flip-flopper label.

An Obama / Sebelius ticket would probably be the best well-rounded ticket for the Dems, since Kathleen Sebelius is a popular governor of a traditionally red state, a gifted administrator, and she has ties to both Ohio and Michigan. She also happens to be a white female, which would please many of Hillary’s supporters and go a long way towards unifying the party. I also like Brian Schweitzer. Richardson might work, but I’d rather see him as Secretary of State.

I will NOT vote for Obama in any position!

Clinton can’t remember if she was fired at or not…NOPE not her.

McCain and Romney (although he doesn’t know what a life long hunter is ….LOL
McCain and Huckabee
McCain and Jindel

Maddem,
If you won’t vote for Barack, then you choose McCain???? Surely you realize that Hillary and Barack have far more in common than Barack and McCain. I have huge respect for Hillary and I’m saddened by how the race has gone but Barack has some great ideas and will change the country for the better. Go ahead, vote for 8 more years of war and no healthcare plans. Hillary can serve in his cabinet as sec of state, veep, or as a supreme court judge. Obama Clinton ‘08!

Senator Barack Obama and Senator Edwards, or Dodd, or Biden or Bill Richards…Oops! None of the afore mentioned are on your list. Sorry, my bad.

Senator Clinton should choose Gov. Bill Richardson as her Veep. They both have many years of experience and many contacts within Congress to be able to actually make the changes we need for our country happen. Although Sen. Clinton has just recently joined Congress as a senator, she spent 8 years working with congress when her husband was President. Gov. Richardson has the experience that can complement her strengths to help build our country back to a solid economy, peaceful foreign relations and put forth programs that help all Americans.

Senator Obama’s ideal Veep would have been Ted Kennedy - but with his very unfortunate medical condition, that is just not possible. Since Sen. Obama has only 3 years of experience in Congress, he needs to choose someone with many years of experience - especially in foreign relations and national security affairs - and many contacts. It’s going to be a steep uphill battle for him to be able to make the optimistic changes he is emphasizing in his campaign. I agree that we need an overall change of morality in our government, but don’t think that Sen. Obama is going to be able to do that…Actually, that will take more than 4 or 8 years because some people will never change and will need to be replaced for that change to happen.

Sen. McCain should choose Mike Huckabee. He’s very popular with the baseline conservatives that his liberal leaning views just can win over. Huckabee is also very popular with conservative religious groups, which McCain could use.

McCain should pick Senator Richard Burr from North Carolina. Young, energetic, a moderate conservative and one who could step in should McCain’s age and health become a factor.

Obama needs a white male period. He won’t win without one on the ticket. Someone preferrably from a swing state.

Clinton is not going to be the nominee, of course, but if so Obama would be a great choice for VP. Let him get some experience under his belt and run again in 2016.

Hillary with Obama as the VP - without question. She has proven time and time again that she can handle herself in a crisis.

Id say Barack and Al Gore would be the real dream ticket and wed have the white house for the next 16 yrs.Barack needs someone other than Hillary as VP,we need change not someone else anywhere near the white house that is going to spend their whole time flip-flopping to whatever lobbiest comes along.Id say if eveyone want experience get someone with the right experience,Id go with believe it or not Dennis Kucinich-someone else that is more interesed in the people ,than their own wants and sould have beens.If he got put in the spotlight everyone would like him,Ive listened to him and he believes in everything ive heard any normal person say.(normal does not include the greedy or weirdos)

Hill with Bill. Life was good when the Clinton’s were in office.

Barrack with Hill, see above.

McCain with Huckabee. I wanted Huckabee for President, so if I cant have him as Prez, then I will take him as VP

Why is the Least significant one listed 1st? She is yesterdays Toast.

Forget about her..! She just Stretching this out inorder to collect more sympathy donations to help pay her campaign bills & bonuses.

Mc Cain will proabably gowith Gov. Crist to avoid the Mormon issue.

Obama should unify with a Dual Party Ticket and Collin Powell
Josph Biden, or Ramsey Clark.

Clinton and nobody. She’s out.

Obama and…….who cares. Charm will only get you so far. This country is at war and needs an experienced, proven leader, to clear a path forward. There aren’t any of these type of leaders in the Democratic party worth mentioning.

McCain and Colin Powell. These are the two most qualified here in the District to assume duty in the middle of war and make intelligent decisions.

In my view, his search is a bit premature, although I do believe one has to prepare and be ready.

Unfortunately, I also believe that if Obama is the nominee he won’t need to choose a VP as John McCain will be the one making that choice. As Hillary supporters WILL vote for John McCain and America and the World WILL be submerged again in another four years just like the last only with more devastation, more War., more economic tragedy.

Obama should pick John Edwards,Kathy Sebelius, Claire Mccaskill,Jim Webb or Bill Richardson.
N o Hil-liar-y Clinton!!!!!

Hillary Clinton and Stephen King. At this point continuing her presidential bid is a real mystery.

Obama-Edwards I would vote for. Jon Stewart made a good point when McCain was on his show though if he were to make Hillary his running-mate McCain would win the election hands down. WITHOUT HAVING TO CHEAT NO LESS!

The best vice president for Obama would be Al Gore. And for Mcain Colin Powell, even though these are just dream tickets that never will happen.

Clinton with Obama as vp.

that is the only ticket that will win the white house in the fall.

senator hillary clinton and barack obama seator obama and hillary clinton and senator mccain and gov . mike huckabee

For Senator Barack Obama I would be looking hard at former Senator Sam Nunn. He is a moderate democrat and may help with some of the more conservative wing of the democratic party. As former Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Commitee he would bring along his experience in dealing with military affairs and also foreign policy issues.

For Senator John McCain I would look at both Gov. Charlie Crist of FL and also former Gov. Mitt Romney of MA. I would like Gov. Romney for his extensive background in economic affairs. He may be able to help balance Senator McCain with the more conservative wing of the Republican party. I would like Gov. Charlie Crist of FL for his executive experience of running a large state and all his input that he can give a President on how the Federal Goverment can best help state governments out.

Susan

I don’t have a VP selection for Barack Obama because I do not think that he has the qualifications to be president.

Hillary Clinton should consider someone like Senator and former Indiana Governor Evan Bayh who has the experience and personality to become VP and possibly president. During his time as governor of Indiana he lowered taxes while creating a large surplus, the type of expertise we desperately need now.

I am torn between Bobby Jindal and Charlie Crist for John McCain’s VP. Although I don’t agree with all of his positions on the issues, Jindal does have experience working in the Bush Administration (HHS) and as governor of Louisiana. He would also bring youth and diversity to the ticket. Crist would also be an excellent choice, as governor of Florida he has been able to get a lot of legislation passed such as one for clean air and health insurance.

But my dream ticket VP for McCain would be Hillary Clinton for many of the same reasons that she would make an excellent president, but in particular for her experience and tenacity, two things she shares with McCain. Most of all I would just like to see the look on Howard Dean’s face when he is confronted with having to go up against such an unbeatable team!

Barack Obama with John Edwards would be my favorite ticket. I know John Edwards said he was not interested, but people change their minds.

The one problem with Hillary has to do with her motives. Right now it would appear that she would go all the way to the floor of the Democratic convention regardless if it cost the Democratic Party the White House. Perhaps her motivation is that if Obama were to lose she could run in four years. The same holds true if she were the VP. What with Bill and her Obama would have to continually be concerned that she is playing politics in office so she could run again in four years.

barack obama and charles hagel. that would be a strong message of change, an example of real unity and a good balance.

I think they all should make choices and then we can try to figure out who would be the best.

Sen. Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama - if she would become the President…she stole it from him and he should be the VP. Personally if this happen she would not be the President either, because “hard working middle class” “Black people” would not vote for her.

Sen. John McCain & “Who cares” - I think we have had it with Bush and his kind.

Sen. Barack Obama &John Edwards, Biden, Nunn - He need to be able to have a Vp that would work with them not against him. (Hint: The Clintons)/

I would have to say Obama with anyone but Clinton as his veep. I couldn’t see those two happily co-existing in the White House. There’s too much strife and division and I think Hillary would try some sneaky things to undermind Obama.

For McCain, I would choose Crist. Crist is one of the front runners to get his state stripped of their delegates. If anything, he should be booted out of office period!

Gov. Bill Richardson because he has the experience with foreign policy and he could help Obama with the Hispanics. He seems to be very trust worthy and share the same views as Obama.

Obama - Kathleen Sebelius. Great woman, smart, from Kentucky.
(Maybe she can win the women over, not the Clinton fans of course, the normal ones)
Susan, Bern, Switzerland

Barac for President and Gov.richardson as VP is my choice.

Hillary continues to emphasize how good things were when Bill was in office. We are not electing Bill or I hope not. She continuously tries to paint the good times as if she were the Vice President when he was in office. I wonder how Al Gore feels about that. In addition, Hillary keeps telling the Floridians that it was terrible that they did not count all the votes when it came to Al Gore. I did not hear her of Bill go to his aid and or be vocal in his defense. Now when it serves their interest they play that card. The population of Florida is heavy with New York retiree’s. Perhaps Obama should pick Bloomberg as his running mate and ensure he carries Florida.

Whom-ever Senator Obama chooses. He has the right to pick. I am confident he will choose some one who can appeal to all people given the climate in this election. I am convinced that he is sincere in wanting to get America back to one of the most respected country in the world.

I believe the VP choices will play a much more important role than in previous elections; my guess is that Michelle Obama, who views herself as the VP, will not allow her husband to select Hillary; Michelle will not allow a second strong woman into her husband’s inner circle; their selection may prove fatal; John McCain will have to go young but not young and inexperienced; his selection may help balance out his infirmaries and make him look more progressive. As they say is politics, “they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” I’m sure one, if not both candidates, will miss completely.

The Lady from Kansas! Anyone but Clinton.

Barack Obama and Wes Clark - It matches heart to military with a heart. Clark’s performance as Supreme NATO Commander during the war in Kosovo, show the toughness that is needed to stare down the reconstituted Russia, PLUS Clark worked diplomacy hard - something that Obama would look too as well. In addition, he is a Clinton supporter which could help bind up the Democratic wounds this race as ripped.
PS - Webb says he doesn’t want VP, but he SHOULD be advising Obama on the Scotch-Irish or Appalachia — he says those are his people — more economic hardship there then racism.

I would absolutely hate to see an Obama-Clinton ticket but I can’t think of anyone else that can bring as many voters to the table.

I won’t even consider a Clinton-Obama ticket because she’s losing and it’s insulting to even think of her as the nominee.

I’d like to see McCain choose Huckabee because with that raving lunatic on the ticket the Dems are sure to win.

Barack Obama with Hillary as his VP would be an unbeatable team in November, and serve their country well when combining each other’s assets and abilities.

I personally believe that Hillary wanted Michigan and Florida moved up. You notice in the month of their primaries it was very early and Obama was not a known entity. Had the primaries been held when authorized, the results would have perhaps been different.

Sen. Barack Obama & Sen. John Edwards

I don’t see Sen. Obama selecting Hillary due to his campaigning on change in Washington D.C. and eliminating old bipartisan politics. Sen. Edwards would be a logical choice because of his down home, hard work, support the lower middle class message. Sen. Edwards could pull the blue collar white vote back and has the experience in running on a presidential ticket.

Sen. Barack Obama & ___GOV . BILL RICHARDSON________________ (and why?)
BECAUSE RICHARDSON WILL GIVE OBAMA THE SPANISH VOTE / +
HE WOULDN’T HAVE TO WORRY IF MRS . BILLARY WANTS TO OFF HIM
TO THEN BE NEXT IN LINE . THE CLINTONS ARE CHEATERS , LIARS AND VERY CORRUPT….
OBAMA WOULD BE A FOOL IF HE PICKS HILLARY ,JUST THINK TO WHAT HAPPENED TO JFK AND THE GUN DOWN IN TEXAS,

I would go for Obama and Hillary..but the chances seem questionable………Obama needs someone who can pull in the uneducated gray hairs and rednecks…………

If Obama secures the nomination I sincerely hope that he selects Hillary Clinton as his VP. Not only would it be a barrier-breaking ticket but it would also help heal the rift in the party. Think of how unstoppable the forces of Obama and Clinton would be in a general election. In addition, the typical role of the VP is to perform well in pre-election debates and act as the fighter/defender of the presidential nominee. I can’t imagine anyone better than Clinton to handle this role. Also Obama wants to restore America’s relationship with other world leaders. Having President Clinton as a surrogate/ambassador of sorts would be an enormous boon to accomplishing this goal. I would urge Obama supporters who dislike Clinton to try and get past their personal feelings for the good of the party.
Obama/Clinton (in either order) ‘08!!!!

When a loser (Clinton) is still beating so called a winner (Obama) in swing states like PA, FL and OH with 68 Electoral College votes, the Democratic Party has a serious general election problem in November. Also, refer to latest Quinnipiac Poll.

If you literally hand over these three big states to the Republican Party, it will take following eight states just to recoup 68 Electoral College votes you just took off the table:
Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico and Virginia.

DNC has its way, they will select EIGHT Vice Presidents just to win these tiny states. US constitution is a big problem for them. Remember, they believe in proportional representation of delegates rather than winner-takes-all democratic approach. They still believe in these dinosaur rules just to please different political tribes.

I would like to see Obama and either Jim Webb or Kathleen Sebelius. Webb, because he would add the tough, military aspect, flesh-out Obama on Defense issues, and because he is a former Republican, prove that Obama can reach across party lines. Sebelius because she would help bring back some of the older women who want Hillary. I would definitely NOT want to have Hillary with Obama. She has proven untrustworthy, self-serving, and represents all of the old politics. Obama does NOT need her to win over “white working-class Americans”. I think here, in Eastern Oregon, we proved that point loud and clear!

I would NOT like to see Senator Obama paired with Senator Clinton. I am a firm believer that character is best measured under stress. If Senator Clinton was nominated to EITHER position, I wonder if the pressure of the Highest Office would cause her to tell the American people what she would like them to believe? Would she play “the hand is quicker than the eye” with our economy causing the end result to mirror a pretzel (popular vote, super delegate vote, caucus vote, etc.)? … whatever favors her cause at the time. Would she play the “SHELL” game with our fuel fiasco? Nahhhhh, her trust factor is ZERO. Her aclaimed title as a “fighter” is only admirable if she is fighting for the greater good. Her fight for self promotion generates images of our dear President Bush.

Let’s face it Anderson, pairing her with Senator Obama or with anyone for that matter, would be like sleeping 3 to a full size bed (we cannot forget BILL). We all know how uncomfortable that is.

Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama or vise-versa.

I think who McCain picks is rather irrelevant because I don’t foresee him even coming close to winning in the general election.

Barack with kucinich and mccain and romney that way mccain will lose

Sen Obama and Nancy Peloski. Rep Nancy Peloski has great experience with dealing with the WH and policy, she is not riding on her husband’s previous experience, and she is a white woman that would calm the Hillary female supporters down.

I would like to see Obama pick Nagel….What a great “Change” statement that would be!!!!

I think Obama should pick Chuck Hagee. Fits with his change message, and will help bring in Republicans and Independents.

I personally am hoping for an Obama-Biden ticket. Senator Biden’s experience with foreign policy, crime and terrorism counter balances Obama’s strengths with domestic affairs.

In my opinion Joe Biden would also appeal greatly to both the working class and senior democrats, two groups that Obama has failed to capture. I feel Hillary Clinton would be a mistake as a running mate, as her strengths are too similar to Obama’s.

An Obama/Biden ticket offers a good balanced team with the appeal, strength and experience to beat the GOP come November.

Barack, I hope you are listening!

Sen. Barack Obama & Jimm Webb for his military service as first lieutenant during the ietnam War, he earned a Navy Cross, Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts. He is from Virginia and can help Senator Barack Obama.

Sen. Hillary Clinton & NO ONE (and why?) because she LOST!!! Second place is still not 1st!

Sen. John McCain & Mitt Romney (and why?) because they are VERY VERY beatable.

Sen. Barack Obama & Kathleen Gilligan Sebelius (Gov. of Kansas (and why?)
Because she has been a loyal supporter of Obama. She has great leadership qualities and is one of the most popular governors in the country, thus her appeal would be broad among her fellow Midwesterners & woman will have a great role model who may be able to ease the tension of the primary race and would work hard to unite the party.

I think Obama should pick Chuck Hagel. Fits with his change message, and will help bring in Republicans and Independents.

Obama w/VP Hillary… Hillary just doesn’t have the delegates to top him and Obama won’t have the votes to beat McCain if McCain picks one of the Religious Right, like Huckabee.

McCain w/VP Huckabee (or someone else from the Religious Right)… McCain just can’t reel in the Repub/Conserv votes without an extremist that will get them frothing at the mouth. Even tho this violates everything McCain stands for, it’s McCain’s last chance to grab Oval Office… and he’s already shown to be trading his ‘Maverick’ status for Repub/Conserv votes.

The closer we get to the election, the more he’ll look like Rove’s creation ‘Bush-N-Stein’. Both him and Hillary’s strategy is ‘win at all costs’ and they mean it!!

Hillary as president and Obama as VP. If they want the White house back…it would ensure a landslide. No matter what the results of the primaries are…they need to be on the ticket together.

NO Billary
NO Billary
NO Billary
The Clintons stands for old, corrupt Washington, DIRTY tactics, backroom shady deals, and down right lies.
She/he stands for everything that Obama is against.
CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.
You cannot believe one word that woman says.
“Count every vote (except the ones that weren’t for me”
“Count every state (excpet the ones that I didn’t win”
SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU & YOUR “SUPPORTERS”
Sexism my backside!

It has been such a close race {remember neither Dem has managed to get the requisite 2,025 delegates and with the Fla/Mich. debacle} that I think if Obama will be the nominee, as it appears - he HAS to pick Hillary {if she wants it that is} it makes the most sense. The party will come together for sure then- I think there is a danger that disillusioned Hillary supporters will be tempted to either not vote or vote for McCain - if she is VP candidate, they will definitely vote for him because of her!! Plus he needs a more experienced and savvy candidate on the ticket to win! If we can’t have a woman president . . yet. . then a woman VP sounds good to me!

I don’t think Hillary has a chance to be honest. She lost to a better capaign strategy and campaigner in BO. She is a good figher but she seems to be complaining about anything she can and really losing her presidential appeal to me. I like her and would support her if she won the pledged delegates and popular vote but the fact is that she didn’t and obviously has a problem with accepting defeat and my potentially sabotage the democratic party with alot of negative gender and racial undertones being given as excuses for being beat.

Barack Obama and John Edwards. He is a great democratic party leader and would help unite the party. He would help attract his own previous voters, Clinton’s voters, and this way, some Obama voters would not go away from him like some would if Clinton was chosen as the number 2.

Obama/Sebelius

Gov Sebelius is liberal but has been re-elected in a red state because she balanced budgets and brought jobs in Kansas.

She has worked hard to get where she is at, is 60 and has considerable executive experience, and she is a Roman Catholic.

She will help in the neighboring states of Colorado and New Mexico and will easily walk into rural towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Since McCain will pick governor Crist Florida is lost anyway…

To the two women who made the first postings. With all due respect, you are both delusional. First of all remember that Obama is leading in the race, so why would he be VP? Second to suggest that you will vote for Mccain if she is not the nominee is so disturbing its borderline insanity. Why would you vote for someone who will surely try and extend the war in addition to nominating conservative judges to the Supreme Court. John Mccain coveted the endorsement of the conservative preacher Hagee, so do you really think he cares about issues for women. In addition though Senator Clinton should be acknowledged for running a tough campaign, I find it amazing that voters continue to discount the repeated lies and pandering of her campaign. I guess the fact that 51% of the country not believing a candidate to be truthful does not matter as long as she is a woman!

i’d like to see the dream team - barack obama & John Edwards.
The reason is simple:
They have positions that are more amenable to the kind of change obama has been talking about than any other combination.
i believe, they could make a positive stride in local and foreign policies of this nation.
SOMETHING WE DESPERATELY NEED.
hillary seems to have both her hands in the corporate pockets, lobbiests, … apparently too much perceived power for her to have succeeded to drag on the race aftershe has lost it so badly.

Obama/Webb - Clinton is too divisive and will alienate many moderates. As far as female Clinton supporters, I find it hard to believe that many of them would crossover to McCain especially with his agenda for more conservative judges. Three words… “Roe versus Wade”

Anyone but Hillary as VP for Obama, but my first choice would be Jimm Webb.

Barack as prez and someone other that Hillary. She doesn’t hear the fat lady singing and it’s starting to getting nauseating.

It is a shame that you “HARD-WORKING-AMERICANS” are still as insecure, ignorant and pathetic as ever.

None of your Yankee-doodle candidates have ANY EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER because they have never been president!!!!!!! End of story MORONS!!!

BTW this is coming from a non “hard-working” American.

I thought Edwards was the best candidate for Obama’s VP, but now I am not sure. Clinton would be good VP candidate short term (women and uneducated white), but in a long run Obama would have to change his campain to much to fit her ego.
As far as McCain, Rice seems the best match. She would strengthem him between women and black. (this choice would most likely force Obama to choose Clinton). Huckebee would be also interesting choice.

IF…..
Obama with Hillary as VP? - - -
My vote and passion for Obama and his message of change of hope will disappear and I will back McCain and anyone!

I would choose Kathleen Sebelius governor of Kansas…. I believe that that would help Sen Obama reach out to the female voters that supported Hillary Clinton….. Also, I believe that Kathleen would support his position on the message that the status quo in washington needs to be changed…

Hillary does not provide Obama any positives, and the republicans know it…. And she does not represent a change in washington politics, just more of the same…..

And while we are at it, Why doesn’t CNN ask the candidates the hard questions…Like removing socaial security from the general fund that was done during the Johnson presidency and put social security in a fixed income annuity so it woulsd begin paying for itself…..

There is something wrong here when CNN only really discusses divisive topics……

If Hillary the nominee, then Obama as VP

If Obama nominee, then Hillary as VP

Both for the same reasons, both are qualified, both are stronger than McCain, and it would take both to unite the party.

The fact is that Obama does not have what it takes to be a President,he have a lot to learn.I think at the end of the the Super Delegates will change their mind and give it to Hillary Clinton…Hillary for President..Obama for Vice President

I think that Hillary Clinton should pick Barack Obama as VP, that would bring the party together and ensure a Democratic victory.
If Sen. Clinton cannot get the nomination, as it does seem ever more likely, then Sen. Obama should pick her as the veep. Despite what the Obama campaign says, I think it will be very hard for him to capture the same people that Sen. Clinton has.
As for Sen. McCain, I think that he should pick Mitt Romney. That will surely allow the Democrats to win in November.

Senator Barack Obama and either Governor Kathleen Sebelius (my first preference) or Senator Jim Webb (if the polling numbers seem to demand it). I’d have loved Bill Richardson as a Veep candidate, but am afraid the combo of him and Obama on the same ticket would scare away too many “working class whites.”

I wann a see Obama and Gore changin the world!

i gotta believe that lobby-culture of washington nd the way we treat other people have to move into another direction.

i`m proud of a country that stands up against its status quo. lets free our mind 4 the future of our kids!

Obama nd nobelprize winner gore can do this.

Hillary Clinton — no one because she is not going to be the nominee

John McCain — I don’t care because I am not voting for him

Barack Obama — Jim Webb who appears to be a very good human being and has credentials. If not Jim Webb, a qualified woman would be nice (not Hillary Clinton because I do not believe she is qualified to serve).

Barak and Webb for his mIlitary service or Chuck Hagle as he seems to be for Obama as a republican.
I think Hillary hover over Barack hoping something happens to him so she can take his spot. I do not trust her intentions. She flip flops. She lies, she voted against seeting MI and Fl and know she is the champion for get all votes counted. She is about her and not the people and hopefully soon America will see it. She is using Fl and Mi to satisfy her own personal gains.

Obama with Webb as VP. Webb’s a southerner has military experience that will counter McCain in foreign policy.

It’s amazing that many people are still crazy enough to believe that if Clinton snatches away the nom that Obama’s voters (who has the majority of legitimate votes) will just forget her actions this primary and vote for her.

Barack Obama - Obama will obviously be heading the Democratic ticket. One thing is for sure, he should not offer hillary the veep position. First, he shouldn’t reward her for he roveian tactics. Second, it would undercut his whold message of change. I’m not exactly sure who the best nomine would be, possibly one of Hillary’s biggest supporters but not Hillary herself. If she had dropped out gracefully a month ago it may have been feasable, but now that she seems bent and determined to ruin the Democratic Party I think it is imposible for her to be his VP.

P.S. The Clinton supporters who are crying themselves to sleep at night because of the “sexist” treatment that hillary has endured need to get a grip. They are infact the bigest sexists of them all. I voted for Barack Obama, not because he is a Male but because he has the best vision for America, And, even though all the female Clinton supporters claim she is the better candidate we all know you are voting for her primarily on the basis that she is a woman. That is Sexism.

I will not vote democratic this year unless Hillary Clinton is on the ticket. I will either vote Libertarian or stay at home. The democrats need her on that ticket one way or another if they plan on beating John McCain in November. Obama supporters and the media, not Obama himself, have treated Senator Clinton with such disrespect that it has turned me off completely from the DNC, the media and this election. I personally know about 50 others who feel the same and the increased blogging on this subject leads me to believe it has become the feeling of many other Hillary supporters as well.

obama - Lena C. Taylor
McCain- any one but obama
Hillary- any one but obama

Democrats: Obama and Edwards

Republicans: McCain and Huckabee

This way the americans have a clear choice in policy and in the direction the country should take in the next 4 years!! If they are smart, they will choose Obama/Edwards………

Sen. Barack Obama & Chuck Hagel to prove he really can bring the parties together. He is a Republican, war veteran who opposed this war from the beginning. That ticket will prove Obama’s point. Which is, he will unite this Country.

Why do you even list Clinton, that’s not an option. I think Mike Huckabee for McCain, and Chuck Hagel for Obama.

I would pick Senator Obama with Senator Casey because Senator Casey can carry Pennsylvania and I believe that he truly likes Senator Obama. Casey helped narrow the wide gap and they seem to have an easiness with each other. I admire Senator Casey for standing up and sticking with Senator Obama during the yak-yak on elitism. They both are class acts in my book,

For Obama he should nominate Senator Webb but will
probably go with Gov. Richardson for more incompetence
on foreign relations issues. For Hillary: a Kennedy to
keep with the dynasty/entitlement theme.
For McCain: Jindal or Romney: two guys who know something
about how the principles of Economics.

maddem says:

“I would pick Hillary to top the ticket and Obama as veep. I believe that Hillary has more experience and will be a better leader. Obama would gain much needed experience as VP. Therefore, at a later date he would be a stronger Presidential candidate.

———————————————————————————————–

How about the opposite. Since Obama’s the clear leader and America needs change, why should he wait until she has a whack at it. Instead, she should drop out and run in 2016.

McCain needs to pick someone who is much younger than him. He also needs to choose someone who is conservative. I like Mike Huckabee. If Hillary is the nominee(which is impossible at this point), I think she should pick Obama. Obama should pick Hagel.

Senator Hillary Clinton as president & Barack Obama as a VP so he can gain expiriance.

Oh Good Grief! I have to believe that these “can’t vote for O if he’s the nominee” Hillary supporters are either closet Republicans or loonies. Their argument is completely void of substance—it makes no sense whatsoever. So, let’s see here, the logic must go something like this: If Hillary is not the Democaratic nominee, then, as a protest against a fellow Democrat, we will help McCain become President in order to 1) help get 3 ultra-conservative judges appointed to the Supreme Court, 2) keep health care in its currently disfunctional and economy-sapping form, 3) continue in Iraq for another umpteen years, at 12 billion per month, 4) continue giving the upper 2% their *badly* needed tax cuts, which have not been plowed back into the economy throuh some fairly tale “trickle down” process while our infrastructure and public education establishments rot away, 5) … do I really need to keep going? Aren;t these people just the poster children for :”people voting against their own best interests”?

I’d like to see Obama ask Chuck Hagel. He’s an independent-minded Republican, like Obama is an independent-minded Democrat. It would truly be the “unity ticket” and begin the “neither red nor blue” America that I admire Obama for envisioning.

OBAMA AND JOHN KERRY PERFECT

It absolutely should be Senator Clinton with Senator Obama as VP. She has the passion, intelligence, and experience to take our country to a better place. While he is a great leader, his experience is lacking…

This could give him the experience to lead our country in 2016!

HILLAR/BAYH ‘08

THAT WOULD BE DREAM TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to see Obama with Joe Biden.
Unfortunately Biden’s state of Delaware isn’t one that can bring much help to Obama in the GE, but Biden’s Foreign Relations background and realistic, down to earth approach to his constituents has such a refreshing tone that would flow nicely with the grass-roots Obama-nation that has developed. Biden could also help with the working-class voters Obama has been having so much trouble with.

Biden and Obama are both forward thinkers with a straightforward, no bull approach to politics, with such an emphasis on honesty, that together they would offer something America’s never had the opportunity to have.

I say Obama-Biden

-Alex
NY, NY

Obama/Gore ‘08!! Both are honest, atypical politicians with a passion for improving government and the environment. I don’t trust most politicians.

Sen. Obama and Joe Biden. Biden has a strong military and financial reputation. He and Obama agree on negotiating with enemies. Also, he is older and more moderate than Obama which should help with a lot of Sen. Clinton’s supporters.

Obama has three choices in my opinion, he needs to pick someone to help him in the swing states he is already doing well inonly:

1. Richardson of New Mexico, carries New Mexico, possibly Nevada, Colorado, helps in Florida, also helps nationwide with experience and national security

2. Strickland of Ohio, would carry him Ohio, Michigan, and probably PA

Webb of Virginia, would carry Virginia, PA, and help alot in Ohio, North Carolina and Michigan

Obama/Webb. Webb has a deep resume including his military background, support to move us out of Iraq, respect of his peers, and is an articulate, forthright person.

I would like to see Obama pick Gov. Brad Henry of Oklahoma. He is a popular governor that is in his second term. Ideologically he falls to the more conservative side of the Democratic Party which will help with those blue colar middle class votes. Plus, I think he could bring states like Oklahoma and Kansas into play.

Senator ObamaOBAMA would rather prefer to have CHELSEA Clinton as VeePee than Hillary. A cool headed VP is needed to make a good team rather than desperate record setter with “I AM” intentions

Man, I see so many people dont realize that Hillary is out of the race.
And if supporters of Hillary vote for Mccain because she cant win, then it shows they are definitly un-educated in deed. Hillary and Obama have almost the exact same policy views, and Mccain is completely opposite. Good way to have people struggle with economic issues even longer, because they want to be selfish.

oh yeah Obama with Hillary as the VP, so Hillary supports can stop crying.

Hillary should be Pres, Obama Vice. Hillary as president is almost a sure win into the presidency, while Obama is just a maybe. Hillary as president & Obama as Vice (or even reverse) is an unstoppable ticket.

At this stage of the primary, it so surprising that some people still want the front runner in every aspect of the democratic election to be #2. Even when the candidate they claim have experience to manage the whole world can not even manage a successful primary election.

No wonder we can’t have afordable quality health care like every other western nation. How long will it take us to be more practical in our way of reasoning?

For Obama’s Veep, ABC—anybody but Clinton!

CHUCK HAGEL is the best choice for VP for Barack Obama! Anyone BUT CLINTON!!! The only way Obama could lose in November is if he put Clinton on the ticket! Most of us - his supporters - will not vote for democrats if HRC is his running mate. We don’t want Clintons in White House! Period!

Senator McCain and Governor Crist of Florida: I believe Governor Crist is a good man and appears to be a popular governor. Assuming, McCain runs against Obama, this would almost certainly assure that they would carry Florida. I am a Clinton Democrat but firmly believe that McCain will do less harm to this country than Obama. Obama has inspired so much hatred and animosity in his campaign I have to believe that his 20 years listening to Rev Wright’s teachings influenced his tremendously. I fear for this country if Obama is elected. Considering all his questionable associations, one needs to be blind not to wonder about his potential appointees to his cabinet and to the Supreme Court.

I would like to see Senator Obama with any of the following for vp:

1. Nancy Pelosi
2. Wes Clark
3. Al Gore
4. Jim Webb
5. Colin Powell

Never ! Never! Never! Never! Hillary back stabbing Clinton.
I really admire Senator Obama but would not vote for him with
Hillary on the ticket! Never!

Obama with Hillary as the VP. Obama already one, and Hillary supporters are being selfish. If he picks Hillary, at least America will elect the right leader and Hillary supporters can quite crying about it already.

McCain, and who cares. Does he really stand an actual chance.

McCain & Hagee (Two lost souls)

Clinton & The Devil (I can’t figure out who’s worse)

Obama & Webb (The winning ticket)

Hillary Clinton is out of the race. If she weren’t I think she would need Obama in order to keep the energy of the youth and African-American voters that are engaged in the Democratic party for the first time.

McCain is in trouble. He pandered to the right and alientated his independent base without energizing the right. I’m not sure there is an ideal VP pick for him - and it must necessarily be someone whom people would like to see President considering McCain’s age will be an issue.

Obama needs experience on his ticket, especially foreign and military experience. I understand that Hillary would help bring some of the white working-class voters that have been reluctant to vote for him, but she is the antithesis of the “new politics” brand that makes Obama so popular. Jim Webb is a good choice. Honestly, it would be impressive for him to reach across the isle and tap Chuck Hagel, a Vitenam Veteran and respected moderate Republican. An Obama - Hagel ticket is novel politics, filled with experience, and very seductive on either side. Hagel has been praising Obama and criticizing McCain, so why not?

Obama - Hagel 08?

I can tell that the Clinton people are all over this blog. It is not going to happen, she is going to lose hands down.

Obama as President and Joe Biden. Why? Well because, Biden provides the ticket with the foreign policy experience that Obama lacks. Takes away a lot of McCain’s reasons for beating the democratic ticket.

Obama + anyone but Clinton. No Clinton on any ticket.

If Obama President: VP Edwards, Edwards will do something about poverty.

If Clinton President: VP Rice, what a ticket that would be, 2 women.

McCain President: VP Romney. Romney really is qualified, and the position will warm him up to the people

NOT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON………..

Obama with Ted Strickland as veep.

Hillary is not an option for president and I would prefer her not to be on this ticket but if it prevents her racist supporters from flocking to McCain then for the sake of America maybe she should be chosen..

Is there any VP option for McCain that will in anyway prevent him from simply being Bush’s third term…no

Barack Obama & Wesley Clark

He has the military credentials that would make Mccain salute. He is also good for the southern vote.

08!

Anybody except Hillary would be great. I think it is the time for Clinton’s family to get retired!
Why our lifetime senators and house representatives don’t let the young generation to take over the senate and the house?
Why two term is the longest time for the president but not for senators and house reps?

My dream ticket is:

Obama and Collin Powell 08!!!

That would be the best for America!

And as for the Ayers comment, I am sure that every politician in America has had to meet with undesirable people, that doesn’t make them the same. Let’s stop the fear game of twisting people’s words and making a big deal out of nothing to win the political discussion, which should be won by the politician stand on the issues, not lies.
Is hard to accept good things that happen to us when we are used to bad or negative ones. This is the leader we’ve been waiting for since Reagan, lets put him in the White House. Yes We Can!!!

Thank you very much for the opportunity,

Yanny from Florida

McCain & Condi - Bring it.

Sen. Barack Obama & rev jesse jackson.

Joe Biden is my choice for Obama’s VP, what a guy.

Ron Paul or Joe Lieberman would separate Bush from McCain I think, which is good, and attract more independents.

Could Bill technically be VP for Hillary?

Of the three candidates running for President I would have to choose Barack Obama since I think that in spite of his lack of experience, he would benefit from working as vice president under Hillary Clinton. On the other hand, I had other democratic leaders as vice president candidate, he would be the last person to be chosen since he lacks experience and has too many negatives. In addition, Barack Obama does not have the support of the democratic working class and if Hillary is ot the presidential candidate, latinos and white working men will not vote for the freshman Senator Obama.

Hillary Clinton would not make a good vice president under Obama since she is way more qualified than Obama.

Senator McCain would not make a good vice president, since he is already the Republican presidential nominee so its inclusion in this poll is not relevant.

I think that Obama needs a female VP who is not from the Washington clique. I would choose Governor Jean Sebelius from Kansas. Long shots for second pick are Joe Biden and Bill Richardson.

McCain should stay away from Romney (he has a lean and hungry look). Best pick here is Mike Huckabee who will draw back the conservative wing of the GOP.

Hillary would probably like to do both jobs but her only logical choice is Obama.

I think Obama is on a crash course to nowheresville. He needs 60 superdelegates before May 31 to secure the nomination. It aint happening. He isn’t getting it and so we will not have a nominee until August, in which case I think that Clinton’s predictions 9 months ago are coming true and she will be the nominee.

Obama does not deserve a place in the Whitehouse after all he has done to ruin the party.

Hillary’s VP should be anyone she wants, but not Barack Obama.

Barack Obama is going to have to do alot of ass kissing before anyone will change their mind on that.

CWJ - North Carolina

I agree with you. That was well put.

Barack Obama & Hagel…now that’s a unity ticket.

I wish that Obama would pick Sen. Webb. He would bring so much to the ticket. His understanding of the voters that Obama has a problem with, he wrote a book about them. That and his experience with the military would bring a needed gravitas in that area to the ticket.

As an African-American supporter of Hillary Clinton I feel that the only real shot Obama has at winning the General Election is if Hillary is on the ticket as VP. Hillary has been able to capture all the voters that he has not and vice versa. This would be an unstoppable, unbeatable ticket!

I would love to see John Mc Cain pick Hillary Clinton. What a dream ticket. They respect each other and it would be good to have two people. One democrat and one republican work together for the good of the nation.

What experience are people talking about when they discuss Hillary. She has been a senator barely longer than Obama has and during her tenure hasn’t performed greatly in my opinion. What is the net loss in jobs in New York since she has been a senator again? Hillary is completely untrustworthy and constantly changes her positions based on public opinion and the mood of the public. She voted in favor of the Iraq War Resolution now she is against it, she initially said she would not court the FL or MI votes but now that she is not winning will cry and complain about it, embraces the Bush strategy of not using diplomacy or seeking out political/diplomatic solutions to any international issues, not to mention whitewater and the numerous scandals her and Bill have been involved in! Honest and “of the people”… you have to be joking! Elitist, untrustworthy, unscrupulous, power-hungry, and most of all IRRELEVANT at this point.

OBAMA2008

Obama should pick Bill Richardson for the following reasons:
1. Executive experience (Governor and Clinton Administration)
2. Foreign relations experience
3. Small state
4. Hispanic background
5. Experienced enough to be President
6. Best resume of all during nomination

I see there are still a bunch of dreamers who don’t realize the race is already over for Senator Clinton. there is no point in picking anyone for her.

I agree with Michelle, Sentor Webb would be a good pick for Snator Obama

Definitely Obama as President. Definitely not Clinton as the VP with Obama. Why would Obama want all that Clinton baggage? And, if I had to hear that women’s fake voice for four years…I would have to rip my hair out. Not a good thing. Seriously…I want to see who Obama is contemplating for VP and then evaluate the individual’s strengths and weaknesses.

Obama and Biden is the most effective choice. Biden has all the right policy decisions. Obama stil needs either a Southerner or a Clinton Supporter. It amazes me that Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama, but Obama supporters (70%) said they would vote for her. racist biggots support Clinton. Only black in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania is the asphalt. Obama Rendell is a sure winner!!!

Obama as President, and definitely not Hillary as his VP. She does not represent what he is about or the direction that the people want to go in–CHANGE!

Sen. Barrack Obama & Sen. Hillary Clinton: Whether he wants her or not she seems to complement his weaknesses and also happens to hold the other half of the democratic vote in her hand. I think they should ignore the pundits that say some people wont vote for them if they team up. Once they realize whats on the otherside they will fall inline.

Sen. Hillary Clinton & Sen. Barrack Obama: The same here, they both seem to have been bound to eachother by this nomination process by splitting the democratic vote. I think the people send a clear message to send both in some way, shape, or form.

Sen. John McCain & Condoleezza Rice: Why? because McCain is a strong and capable canidate that makes Hillary’s experience look week. The problem is he is just another white guy going to be president. Rice is a song policy wonk who also, in a republican way, represents change and could steal the change card from Obama. Why? because she is black and a woman. If these two teamed up, I strongly believe they may win - whoever is on the otherside.

I would like to see Barack Obama as the VP for Hillary Clinton. She has the experience, intelligence, and more guts then anyone I have ever seen. Her vigor and fight has been unmatched during this campaign season.

In 8 years I would like to see Barack Obama as the next President of the United States. I believe he is intelligent, intuitive, and a natural leader, however, he lacks the experience and backbone right now for the job.

I do want to see Hillary Clinton answer the phone at 3:00 am!

I’ve noticed there are a lot of Hillary supporters who answered this blog. I slightly favor Obama, because his senate record does show a broader field of interest and knowledge, but I think both candidates would do well. Things being as they are though, it seems very unlikely that Hillary will seize the nomination. And frankly, I don’t really see Obama pick her as VP, although that wouldn’t be a bad idea in my opinion. I do think that he might give her a place as a minister of , for example, internal affairs or health care, something in that range. It seems clear, in any case, that they should work together. And I really don’t understand the hate towards Obama from the Clinton-supporters, nor the hate towards Clinton from the Obama-supporters. Politics should be about real issues, ironically something both candidates are campaigning for, not about personality. And what Obama’s VP is concerned, Webb seems the most interesting candidate at the moment for reasons already mentioned in other posts. McCain will probably pick Romney, although I haven’t been following the Republicans lately so I really have no idea.

I’d like to see a Barack-Edwards democratic ticket. Two brilliant young men working tire
