Good evening, Anderson, Erica, and all!

and...

Since it was your birthday yesterday...

Happy "belated" Birthday, Anderson! I hope you will spend a wonderful year . And thank you for always broadcasting valuable news in honest view!

Good evening everyone

Anderson now that you are on the blog tonight.....happy belated birthday wishes sent your way

So did someone explain "Boo" to you because most of us on the blog can if no one has

The bottom line is Clinton didn't concede last night, but will on Friday. Tuesday is over, no repeats of that day will come. I think we all have more important issues to now grasp onto. Just my thoughts.

Hi Anderson, Erica and bloggers!
The first day with our confirmed Democratic nominee making history...
I do hope Sen Clinton is honest about supporting him and won't try to ruin it so she can run in 2012.

Anderson, is there any truth to the bombshell coming out about Michelle Obama's "Hate Whitey speech"? Fox new covered it and I was wondering if there is any truth to it?

Hello Anderson, Erica and Bloggers!!!
I was shocked and disappointed Hillary Clinton lost her race to Barack Obama last night.......... I think Hillary Clinton will be vice president with Obama.... I accept Obama is nomination president of united states.

Good Evening everyone.
I feel sad today.
I am Hillary supporter and I think she is the better candidate.
But the democrats’ voters made their choice.

Go Obama 08

Looking forward to the show tonight. I'm sad about Hillary suspending her campaign.. I hope I can get behind Obama.

Hillary did not have to concede last night but I think she would have looked better had she done so. Regardless, her speech last night was inappropriate.

Hi Anderson,

It looks like Hillary is doing the right thing for uniting the party against John McCain. It's better late than never.

Good evening Anderson!...History? Yes. Obama and Clinton on the same ticket? Most definitely yes!!!

Cali, actually they did make their choice and it was for Clinton. She got more votes.

Alleluia! Hillary has finally seen the light – I am a registered independent and I was very disappointed in her inability to concede last evening. Barack – please do yourself a favor and build the dream team without her – she and Bill are liabilities you don't need.

I am so bummed about Hillary. It's the biggest bummer I've had all summer. I hope Obama chooses her as his VP!

Hey Bloggers! Well, I think we all knew that Hillary would eventually concede but today's headlines are more about Hillary not conceding than Obama being the first African American presidential candidate.

I have a feeling I'm going to be dreading watching the news from now until November. If it weren't for Anderson, I'd turn the television off.

Anderson, I hope you weren't pulling for Hillary or it wouldn't have been a very happy birthday. I have to admit I'm thoroughly disappointed by her quitting.

What's the difference between conceding last night or Saturday? A month from now, no one will care.

Yes, I heard that, she did say no decision to make, now she will quit her race this weekend....... Cathy.........

I can't believe that you are not recognizing that SHE is a WOMAN making HISTORY....

Why would I want to waste my vote on OBAMA if he doesn't make HER the VP?

I can't stand obama.

What can she do with these delegate votes if she keeps them???
I honestly got the impression that Obama is interested in Hillary as his VP because he has said that he would like to speak with her.
I hope she does not ruin it by being so damn pushy...

Im much more interested in who Sen Obama is considering for his running mate. Hopefully he wont be pushed into making a poor decision

After I think back to everything that happened, Obama would be a complete fool to put her on the ticket. She & Bill both are very dismissive of him & his accomplishments. Any hopes of that ticket went out the window last night.

It is ridiculous to choose a candidate based on party affiliation. It is bordering on reckless to put an incompetent inexperienced person in the White House. We have one there already and look what happened.

Let's make one thing clear right now. Obama won the popular vote. Despite what lies Hillary is spreading, she did not have the popular vote. She was giving full credit to bogus Florida and Michigan primaries, and does not count the caucuses. How ridiculous is that?

Once a Democrat always a Democrat, right? Both Barack and Hilary are on the same side, right?? The song remains the same, whether it's Hilary or Barack! Not voting or voting for the other party doesn't make sense to me...

Isn't it really Obama's choice on who should run as VP?

Right Maggie~
A Woman made history. I am proud of that as much as anything!

Cooper, I've been a volunteer and still a loyalist to the clinton's. Now I am just hurt. I feel if Obama doesnt put Hillary on the ticket then I will vote for John McCain; however, if Obama put Hillary on the ticket then I will vote and help to push this ticket in my state. I am very dedicated to Hillary..

EJ~Obama can't beat McCain without Hillary~

I was really surprised to hear, that Obama asked Caroline Kennedy to be part of his VP screening committee. Has she ever really been in politics at all?

I am a lifelong democrat and when Hillary Clinton suspends her campaign or concedes – our family is re-registering as republicans and voting for McCain.

None of us like obama or would vote for someone with NO experience.

I'm thinking that Hillary will keep her delegates because she'll be hoping something blows up in the Obama campaign before the convention. The superdelegates can change their minds any time.

I am thrilled that Obama won...but I don't see why Hillary Clinton can't take a few days to sort this all out. I think this is difficult for both Obama and Clinton. This has ben a very intense campaign and I'm sure she has no clear cut idea what she wants.

Hi Anderson, This is only wishful thinking on my part. First she will need some time to remove the knives from her back. Then as she leaves for a well deserved rest she should wave her hand "Goodbye" giving the appropriate gesture to the DNC, the media & others.

on Maggie.

Presidency cannot be stand only by gender issue. You should think what is good for this country, not only single segment...

come on everyone give Hillary some room...

I disagree with the comment that Obama does not need Hillary. You don't want to alienate 18 million people.

"A Woman made history. I am proud of that as much as anything!"

Of course it doesn't matter to many Clinton supporters than an African-American made extraordinary history yesterday...

Mike – you are right.
But we choose the nominee by delegates not the popular vote.

EJ, I keep hearing about Obama's accomplishments. What exactly are they?

I agree Betty-Ann. If Hillary isn't on Obama's ticket it's going to be a hard fight for Obama

You are right Anderson, she has had a while to prepare for losing, but have you ever seen a Clinton give in to defeat?! I hope Obama is smart enough to not put her on the ticket. I am sooooo sick of her and this is ruining the Democratic Party. I don't think they will be able to recover this election.

I do not think Hillary would be a good choice as VP but maybe Sec. of Defence or Sec of State or something like that

If not Hillary then who would be better?

Anderson, can you ask David Guergin if he would be interested in advising Obama like he's done for previous presidents?

Maggie, I agree with you. I am not comfortable with Obama, Me either. I can't stand with him........

I hope we discuss VP's on the Republican side, seems like it's all about the democrats these days in the news.

Would you really want a president in the White House who was blackmailed into choosing a certain VP? How could he even govern if people perceive him as folding under political pressure? He should be free to choose the person he thinks is most qualified and who will be a valuable teamplayer in his administration.

Obama is supposed to be presidential material yet he has to be told to take control of his own campaign? What does that tell you?

I don't understand how the Democratic party could run someone with no experience. I've been a lifelong democrat and I will be voting for McCain in the fall if Hillary is not the VP for Obama. I'm hoping my home state of Pennsylvania goes republican!

This is historic, and we can all trust that Hillary with her integrity and love for democracy will help Barak Obama to win in November.
McCain will certainly use every tool at his disposal to win. And also we as viewers and participants can HOPE that the media will not sink to a low, but cover the elections with respect that this historical process deserves.

@Nancy–Bill Clinton didn't have much experience when he became president either. I'd much rather take my chances with a lack of experience, than vote for someone who's going to continue to take the country in the wrong direction.

"I was really surprised to hear, that Obama asked Caroline Kennedy to be part of his VP screening committee. Has she ever really been in politics at all?"

Just because she tries to stay out of the limelight (due to her and her family's extreme popularity) doesn't mean she's an idiot.

She comes from a political dynasty.

EJ~ that is a devisive statement!
Of course we are proud of Obama! Since Hillary is out, let's just give her due. Barack is surely getting his.
Peace out~
Let's all work together for a united party:-)

Hey Nancy, I'm a Republican who wants to vote for Obama, lets just switch!

It is interesting to hear voters wanting to switch parties if Hillary is not named VP, I guess it is more about the candidates than the issues they or the party stands for.

I really hope that Obama will not listen to hate monger and make Hillary the VP. Hillary can really help Obama but I think if he ask her to unite the party and help to make him President he should want to make her VP. She has every thing he needs to bring the party together.

If Obama uses Hillary and then abuses her it will not look good to the Hillary Supporters. Hillary is my vote for Obama without her my vote will move to McCain.

I just have to step back and find this really exciting.

We're in the United States, blogging about the first African American presidential candidate, and wether there will be a woman running mate.

No matter which way you look at it, the Democratic Party made history.

Regardless what happens, this'll be in the history books.

If I were Hillary–I take a nice relaxing vacation (Hawaii maybe)–and then decide what to do.

I think Clinton is all wrong for VP. Obama needs someone from the south or someone with military experience. Clinton should get a cabinet position.

Mike in Syracuse, I like the way you think! I can't believe Caroline Kennedy is on the VP search team.

I think Hillary needs to be cut some slack by those who say she should have conceded last night. A huge dream was lost, reality is kicking in, and that takes time to get over. Give it to her. I do think Bill Clinton as Mr. VP will be Obama's worst nightmare in the White House. I don't think he'd be willing to play third fiddle.

Kim, I hear you. And I think Hillary will try her best to help Obama to win, look good when he does, work hard when he is president and hopefully for her, do a better job than him... and then... take the white house.
I don't think she underestimates the voters to play it dirty.

The Clinton camp need to chill out as one legislature said. Obama is in charge of his Presidential campaign and he gets to decide. The posturing by the Clinton campaign needs to end. Obama can handle it.

Yeah! Bill Richardson for VP!

I would like to see Obama select Gov. Bill Richardson as his VP.

Why people would vote against their own interests just because their candidate didn't win makes absolutely no sense. Vote for McCain so we can stay in Iraq, let the economy continue to go down the toilet, cement the conservatives for years in the Supreme Court. Let's do that, instead of just voting Obama who's positions were almost in lockstep with Hillary.

Senator Obama also campaigned as the candidate of change. Senator Clinton and Bill would not be a change.

Jo Ann, it wasn't his campaign that seriously miscalculated, fought among themselvers and went broke twice... it was hers. I am just wondering, if she was listening to the wrong advice or simply underestimated the Obama campaign. Either way it speaks of poor management and budgeting skills.

It sounds like Mr. Obama wants Ms. Clinton's help at least (hopefully to ask her for becoming vice president) because he praised her a lot in the speech yesterday. If he cannot get help from her, I don't think Mr. Obama will not be able to win; he still has a lot of weaknesses in terms of becoming the President...

I cannot get behind the idea of an Obama-Clinton ticket. Obama=change, a new order. Clinton=yesterday, old-school. It's like oil & water, or cats & dogs. They just don't mix.

No. if Hillary wanted to wait to due some soul searching that is her right. I hope Obama picks her for VP because he may not win without her and America can not handle an 4 years of John McCain.

If all of her supporters are saying they'll vote McCain anyways, then why put her on the ticket at all?

Frankly, I could care less what color or sex the president is, I just want someone that can HEAL America!

Obama cannot put Hillary on the ticket to serve a short-term purpose of winning votes. She will not serve him well as VP.

Have faith in Barack Obama. He's only just begun...

Why is it that out of all the possible VP candidates that were speculated, the only reason that was shown that Obama could take a woman as his VP is if he wants the female vote?

good evening everyone

hi, everyone

Hopefully Obama and McCain will choose who is best for them for VP. It's a decision that will speak volumes about their leadership skills.

Hillary would undermine "change'? There's that word again. I just would like to know exactly what that means. Will the celestial choir start to sing to signal this change? I'd like some specifics from Barack.

I don't think that all 18 million people that voted, live by Hillary's orders. I think most of them naturally would go Democratic and the few more militant supporters would be upset no matter what.

It'll be hard for Obama because hardcore HRC supporters seem to only care about her, not the country. It's like kids on the schoolyard. I can't get my way so I'll take my marbles and go home.

Yes, Nancy.......I agree with you too. I hope that she would run best candidate president, but not! I will try switch to McCain to vote.

Mike, Syracuse NY; If you find out let me know. Did you hear that Obama has changed his opinion on Iran? Now it is a "serious threat, " It seems like he said the opposite in Oregon just the other day.

There could not be a worse choice for VP than Hillary. She has never demonstrated the slightest "team player" attribute necessary for number 2. He would never have his own identity.

I think, Hillary Clinton would be awesome in a cabinet position where she can run her own topics. I don't think having her and Bill as VP would be a good idea.

I'm totally disappointed with the decision of California Supreme Counrt; they are against thier own ruling...

Anderson,
What about Chuck Hagel as a VP for Obama or Richardson?

I don't think that Clinton will run on the ticket with Obama. How could Barack possibly be comfortable with Bill in the White House with him? And how would Hillary deal with that? I think that ticket is doomed to fail.

Hillary Clinton for VP, yes sir re:. Hillary Clinton for VP. Hillary Clinton for VP.

Obama don't let people with bad intention lead you away from Hillary Clinton for VP. You two together will make an unbeatable team. Take her on the ticket and march striaght to the White House.

boo is homie slang 4 sweetie

JOLENE : The voters want their voices to be heard. They probably feel unimportant, those who voted for Hillary. Well This is the only way they can be in the spot light again.. "Choose Hillary, of You won't we chosen"

Anderson,
Wouldn't be a great idea for Caroline Kennedy to be on the ticket with Barack Obama. She is well respected and a woman who could inspire women to vote.

Glad to see 360 embracing Anderson's "boo" comment; the Internets certainly have.

the 'boo' thing was pretty funny.. thanks for the laugh erica and anderson

I think Chelsea Clinton will be a good VP for unity of the party
and for the message of ' CHANGE'

How great would it be if Obama took Bill Clinton as his VP?

Mrs. Clinton I hope will be the woman I've always believed she was and man up on Saturday and concede.

EJ, I am not saying having Caroline Kennedy on the team is a bad idea. I just never knew she did anything in politics at all. If she wants to be involved, good for her. Surprised me, is all.

Why wouldn't any of the Dem VP choices have the same 'old school' issue as Hillary? Richardson has been around a long time, as has most of the other names I've heard. Obama has to pick someone with more experience than he has.

Sean I am a female and I did not Vote for Hillary in the primary. I think that he will be ok with the woman vote. We need to just get on board and bring the Democrates back in the house.

I was one of those people googling "boo" last night.

Caroline Kennedy is a very good choice. Obama did not get where he is right now without having a keen sense of who to have on his staff.

Hillary lost.....she didn't have the most popular votes nor the most delegates. I didn't know the Clintons where such sore losers. This is a historic event for Obama and a moment that we won't forget how selfish she is.

I think it would be a huge mistake if senator Obama pick Hillary as his running mate. As we saw last she still didn't make it any better for the democratic party by not conceding. It's a price that she would have to pay now.

Hey! Whoa! Why should Caroline Kennedy NOT be part of the VP search team?? She graduated from Radcliffe College/Harvard University and Columbia Law School , is an author, activist and mother. (She didn't have to take the Bar Exam more than once either!) She could BE VP!!

I think Bill helped Hillary. I met him here in my town and he was very cordial and passionate~

Obama/Kennedy(Caroline) would be awesome!!!

Barack Obama, the man from from "cyberspace".

@Becca: Obama taking Bill Clinton as VP would be a big slap in the face to Hillary, that would never happend.

OMG Janet! Obama/Caroline Kennedy? Between the two of them they would have less than zero experience. What's next Stewy and Brian from Family Guy?

Hello everyone... this is the first time I have joined the blog in progress... fascinating process... and it is wonderful to see so many of you joining in... gives all of us a sense that this is more of a conversaation than one-way communication...

Anyway, the point I was trying to make try toward the close of the first panel is that Barack Obama, riding on his historic victory, now needs to take charge of the dialogue about the fall. Isn't it odd that the night after he broke through, we opened up with a discussion about Hillary Clinton? And is it a good thing for him that it was John McCain today who took the initiative today in calling for a series of town hall meetings? In my view, Obama now needs to put his own stamp on the reality of the campaign if he wants to keep lifting himself up.

More in a bit.... David

glad you all enjoyed the "boo" remix

Bill could not be VP. He isn't eligible to be Pres again.

David Gergen, Just what is it that is keeping Obama's supporters and the MSM focused on Hillary? Fear? Hate? What?

Jo Ann, I heard about that change of heart on Iran today, too. Pretty interesting. I wonder what else he'll see the light on before November.

Mary, If Obama chooses Clinton for VP she will never get the chance to run for president if he wins. At least if McCain wins he will only serve one term and she would still have a chance.

I about fell out of my chair laughing when Anderson said 'I wanna be your boo" XD

I so desperately want an Obama/Edwards ticket. I think that would just be epic.

"boo remix", U r 2 funny Erica

If Hillary is so experienced, why is she waiting to end her primary run? Why does she have to talk to her advisers, can't she make up her own mind? She is showing the world that she is not ready to run the country, she really never ran her campaign. And that's S A D.

David Gergen joined the live blog.......WELCOME!!!!!!

Hi David Gergen! Thanks for blogging. Always appreciate your point of view on things. To me, Obama doesn't come off as a fighter so I agree he needs to show the voters he can take charge.

I am confused by all the Hillary supporters who say they will now vote for McCain...I did not support Hillary because when she voted for this war she lost my support...but if she had won the nomination there is no question I would have voted for her...Have any of you really been listening to John McCain?? Talk about going back to the dark ages!! I truly don't understand.

Bill Richardson for VP and Obama can kiss the White House good-bye. holly-molly don't knock your self out Obama.

Bragging on Hillary will not cut it with Hillary Supporters, we can see through a smoke screen. We are smart voters.

Carter is so outdated! The man needs to stay in Plains and eat peanuts!

Erica, love your sense of humour! You and Anderson make a "heavy" polictical program light...:)

I agree totally with David Gergen. Senator Obama now will be able to as the nominee get out and set his own agenda. I have watched all candidates give speeches, debates and sorry to say John McCain puts me to sleep.

Mr. Gergen...welcome to blogging finally!

Great to have you on board, David! This is a cool forum and is as Marshall McCluen said, "The medium is the message. . . ."

It Jane & thats what they have advisors for. What experience did Bill Clinton & Al Gore have as a President or VP when they won they WH.

They had advisors.

I doubt he can win without Hillary, Bill, and her supporters so the Obama team better think through what they need to do to win. The Clinton's are among the brightest leaders who have devoted their lives to public service and good despite his indiscretions.

P.S. Tell David Gerghen to stop talking. He clearly disrepects women.

Hey David I agree with you!

Welcome David!!

I agree w/Rendell, Hillary is not a team player. Obama needs a VP that is loyal to him and to his campaign, not someone that has her own agenda. Besides the RNC started their ads today running the tape of Hillary saying Obama is not ready to be commander in chief–awkward.

To David Gergen's point, I think that Obama is walking a very fine line not offending Hillary's supporters. If he doesn't give her space and let her react how she will than he risks losing their vote. He has to appear strong and pivot to the general, but he cannot be in anyway perceived as disrespectful.

Hi David. Always love seeing you on 360. You're right that both Clinton and McCain have stolen the headlines from Obama today. But I think we'll see something from him soon–perhaps some stoking of the VP rumor mill.

David G is on the mark with his comment about Barrack taking charge of his campaign. I believe that based on his interview today with Brian (from the peacock affiliates) he is already starting to do so.....Go Obama "08!!!!!!

Welcome David Gergen. I think we have just ended a long election and now have the final leg of the race. It's time to have the debating begin between the two men running. I look forward to it.

David, I don't think Barack Obama should let McCain call the shots. He never has a large crowd. Maybe thats why he wants Barack to join him in these town hall meetings.

David Gergen, thanks for joining in! I always appreciate your calm and rational view of politics. You never seem to take sides and that really shows. Glad to have you blogging.

we keep pulling david away from the computer so he can be on the air. sorry

David I agree with you point about how Obama defines his own voice. And ordinarily he would be doing this today if he wasn't he;d hostage by Hillary.

Aw, Anderson, let him blog... We love the team interacting with us

David Gergen!
I most certainly agree with you. Obama is in No position to exhale in relief. And get back there with full force.

AC, that's ok... Great to have David on the blog but better to hear his viewpoints about Hillary potentially as VP.

Mr. Gergen–what do you think Obama means when he says he's the candidate of change–what's he going to change and how is he going to do it?

Glad David Gergen is "trying" to blog with us. Agree, Obama/the campaign does need to take charge of this or the Clinton people will keep pushing him into a corner.

David, I think you would be an excellent advisor to the Obama campaign! Always fair in your assessments!

Eventually it will be interesting to see the debates between McCain and Obama...

Well, wouldn't be interesting if John McCain selects a female running mate, especially one strong in the economy. I have to admit, though, his speeches are getting better.

It's still a very close poll for a man that's had very little air time on tv. McCain is not down and out. I look forward to town meetings. Let's hope Obama agrees.

I am a Hillary supporter,but do not think it would work for her to be Obamas vp. I agree with jessie from canada on what Hillary should do.

Obama didn't agree to that type of debate when Hillary invited him to do so... now it's a good thing?

I truely appreciate David Gergen's impartial, intellegent comments.
I hope he will have time to blog with us another night (if not 2nite)

Hillary Clinton is not the first candidate to not endorse the presumptive nominee on the night of the final primary. Since 1980, there have been other candidates that have gone a month before endorsing the nominee, while others have taken the debate to the convention. In these cases, the candidates were not critiqued as heavily as Clinton has been. Yet, Clinton has been in one of the closest races in history. Shouldn't she have some time to take it all in? I mean, Obama said that he hasn't caught his breath and absorbed it all. Why is there such a rush to have Clinton endorse immediately?

Anderson,

Let's not forget that Hillary Clinton currently serves as a U.S. senator from NY. Her husband has been busy touring around the world, speaking and working very hard to make the world a better place, through the Clinton foundation. I fail to see that anything would be different if her job became vice president in the Obama administration. To sound as though Hillary can't get up and go to work in the morning without Bill, is absurd......

Thanks,
Ron

That "demographic" is still not in Obama's camp. He has some work to do....

If Obama knows in his heart that he will not choose Clinton as Vice President, he should name the VP as soon as possible to avoid increasing disappointment of Clinton supporters and/or media manipulation by Clinton "colleagues."

David Gergen- I love hearing what you have to say on CNN, you are the ultimate political analyst. I think CNN should give you your own show!!

I think that Obama needs Clinton to be VP. Lets take a look at what you at CNN did on Tuesday. CNN showed that with the two of them, this would be a slam dunk. What do u guys think?

It's a natural assumption that voters, the will of the people, would be the deciding factor in choosing a nominee. What we forget is that the Dem and Rep parties are actually private "clubs."

In Political Science terms, we, the citizens, may own the office, but the parties sponsor (own) the candadidates–It was only recently that the parties started to even ask "outsiders" for their opinion, before or after the public election.

I'm disappointed that Senator Clinton will be suspending her campaign; I was hoping she would continue. Hopefully, she'll be VP.

Mr Gergen,

I was fascinated to hear your comments about the Kissenger talks with the Reagan team in 1980 on behalf of Gerry Ford. Is there somewhere I can read a detailed account of that?

So disappointed that Obama is the Democratic nominee. Sure hope that Hillary decides to go Independent. Otherwise I'm changing my party affiliation and voting for McCain in the fall!

David I agree that Obama needs to set some of the tone toward the GE. But he had to get through this Primary. That was only yesterday. Give him time. I think he'll have McCain on the defensive.

Obama '08

Cathy,

The clinton "people" consist of a bunch of people "reporting" that Hillary wants to do this or that.

Let the woman speak for herself come saturday.

I am a Democrat who has no faith in Obama's ability to run this country.
If I vote at all, it will be for McCain – he is the most qualified of the two.

Hi all, Have so enjoyed the excellent coverage of the primaries and now follow up and of course on to the election. David Gergen is tops, as all the panelists. The Communicator in Red from Vancouver says hello to Mr. Gergen. If you read this David, do an ear pull one night like Carol Burnett use to do to say hi to your fans here on the west coast.

Get a little rest this summer. We can't get enough of David's excellent commentary. Good job all.

Linda G.

Obama needs Hillary, without her he's going nowhere. I for one dont like the man and will give my vote to McCain if he refuses to give Hillary the VP. Caroline Kennedy is not a politician. She has no business being a VP, and its not what Obama needs – two inexperience people running together for President. McCain and the Republican Machine would eat him alive.

Hillary for VP

I really dont think its a big deal that she didn't concede last night what I didn't like was the tone in her voice that led us to believe she is still running for the Demorcrat nomination. I think her cocky attitude is what got her in trouble with this election. She had no clue this race would go this far. It like the ole saying goes "Move Your Feet Lose Your Seat" and that's what happened. She slept on Barack and he moved right in to the seat.

I'm a from cincinnati and now in florida i joined Barack Obama team today and want to be apart of the new change..,

I think that you will see a different Obama now that he has the nomination. He has been fighting two people, Senator Clinton and Senator McCain. John McCain did not say much about Senator Clinton. John McCain will be unpleasantly surprised now that it is just the two of them.

Wanda, I disagree, David Gergen is one of the most courteous and fairest experts on the panel.

I completely agree with David. The most of the talk since Obama crossed the finish line has been about Clinton. I think she could have (and should have) done more to prepare for Obama's win, and to show real support for the Democratic nominee.

Anderson, I'm glad you mentioned race and age. I was afraid to write. The way I see it, race is immaterial, but age is important. McCain is just too old to drag this country out of a recession, out of a war and place it firmly in the future. I am not being age-ist, just realistic.

Can someone shed some light on the disgruntled Clinton supporters? it's sad to see that some are going as far as voting for McCain or not voting at all...why?

HIllary's supporters on AC360 tonight talk about the need for Hillary to have time to pschologically adjust to her loss. Huh??? Isn't that the stereotype we women have been fighting for years?

Being that Condoleezza Rice insists that she is not interested in being the next VP who do you think would be a good FEMALE running mate for Obama to consider?

I finally agree with David. Hillary did win the second half of the campaign and Obama seems exhausted.

AC said that Rezko bankrolled Obama's campaign. this is misleading. he was a fundraiser in his srtate senate campaign only. Obama cut ties with him .

I don't want to hear alot of speeches. I want to hear them debate. Close up and with their guard down. Hopefully we won't just hear endless speeches.

David I totally agree that Obama needs to start calling the shots, however, we can't forget he has been fighting on three fronts...Hillary, Bill, and John McCain. I think once the dust settles he will notch this up...
He's right...he just needs to take a breath.

Good night Anderson, Erica, and Bloggers
Sleep tight!!!!! Have good night everyone!
See you tomorrow night!

Fuel cost – Please help & report...

Did you get Anderson a Wii for his birthday!!!!!!!!

A wii! I was just about to write that – if you all got him that for his bday???

McCain 72 at the time of innauguration..that's scary!

I am not, not, not a McCain supporter, but I think you are being a little simplistic in your assesmant Miriam. The man is quite qualified.

Ah, come on exercise with the Wii.. Be Wii Fit....

I am a Hillary supporter, obama will not get my vote. If He respectfully takes Hillary as VP. I will vote for the Dems. otherwise McCain's got my vote!

That was a great way to end the show! Erica's priceless and Anderson is a good sport!! Goodnight Boo!

Anderson wasn't sold on the wii LOL

Happy Birthday Anderson

Enjoy the Wii....there are alot of other things you can do with it

enjoy your gift Anderson
good night all

Happy Beleted Birthday Anderson
