Honestly Barclay, I am extremely tired of nothing but politics on 360 if you want my honest opinion! I hope that we can get a break from it until the conventions. PLEASE give us a break!

Saying that I will add my two cents about Hillary and Obama....

I don't think that Obama will even consider Hillary for his VP. There is too much hate there. The only way he'll even consider her is because he is forced to because he can't win over her voters and he can't get the votes needed from groups of people that she has in her back pocket. If he could get these voters without having her on his team he would totally ignore her. I don't see the supposed "dream team" ever happening.

And as far as the general election goes I think there will be a lot of mud slinging going back and forth. They may say this will be a clean race but I don't believe it at all!

And I hope that the media will be fair to both and not biased again like they were with Hillary. That is so uncalled for. And yes...even 360 was biased. I saw that and I am not even a Hillary or Obama supporter. So all of you leave your opinions at the door when you come to work and just give us the facts. We are smart enough to make up our own minds.

Dream ticket? More like a nightmare. The Ticket would in reality be a triumvirate including one loose cannon. No thank you. I would love to vote for Obama, but not if She is on the ticket.

Hillary created the divide in the Democratic Party and she is the one to clean up HER MESS. She convince an ignorant class of people that she cares about them more that Obama does. It worked and now she needs to clean up the mess. If Obama chooses Hillary as a running mate – I will choose a running mate to run from him.

After the long and bitter primary and the snub Hillary him gave at last nights nonconcession speach I would hope Sen. Obama would pick anyone other then her. She represents old politics and the nation is looking for change. It's time Sen. Obama showed his presidential qualities and picked his own running mate who would not be bringing any baggage (Bill) and worry about looking over his shoulder at what she's trying to do to undercut him.

I had chills running through my body as he took the stage last night. I was overwhelmed with emotions to know that he made it without having to lower his standards. He took several hits below the belt and I am sure that he will have to endure much more, but we should be in his corner every step of the way and not allow all the negative to define us (democrats). However, I don't think that Hillary would be a good choice for him simply because I think she's too arrogant and Bill will want to have to much input, no that would not neccessarily be a bad thing, but he's had his turn. It really upsets me, as an African American female in her late thirties, to see her behave in such a way. He won it fair and he should be given his due. Had the tables been turned and she was in his spot, she would definitely had expected him to quit. I say get over and let's move forward so that we can win in November. It's history that Barack and Hillary made but it's deeper than the color of his skin or her gender. It's about making this country a better place for all AMERICANS

I Love the Clintons! They are the best.

I am old enough to remember the state of America when they were in office. This post is a bunch of ‘kids” blogging as if they are voting for "American Idol" They have no idea what's going on.

For anyone to even suggest that the Clintons aren't the best to straighten this country out shows their ignorance. The older generation knows what's going on.

This was the worst media coverage I have ever seen in primary election history.

The hateful remarks on TV and the radio about President Clinton, Senator Clinton and Chelsea were outrageous. I have never seen such cruel remarks on blogs and on radio either.

The worst of the coverage was when the media was accusing President Clinton to be a racist. It is a sad America to hear that from anyone in the media.

President Clinton didn’t deserve it. He could have had his office on Fifth Avenue overlooking Central Park but chose to be in in Harlem NY to keep fighting for their rights.

President Clinton so loved the poor and the oppressed African Americans. He has fought his whole life along with Senator Clinton to have their voices heard.For any black American to bad mouth President Clinton for that reason alone, is a disgrace.

I am saddened by the Democratic Party, the media and have felt the pain of all the Clintons as they have had to endure the spin of the media.

I myself have decided to leave the party since they didn’t stand up for Michigan and Florida voters. That is the only reason that Obama won the nomination.

I am hoping Senator Clinton would continue fighting for these “silenced” Americans regardless of the outcome.

Personally, if I were Senator Clinton, I would fight to the end and then leave the party altogether.

This was not a "land slide"
Obama needs Clinton.
Clinton doesn't need Obama.

Anderson, I am a fan of your show and watch the election coverage at CNN. I usually appreciate Jeffrey Toobin's comments and intellect. I have to admit that i was very turned off my two of his comments regarding John McCain's sppeech and Hillary Clinton's narcisism. While he felt it, the way he conveyed it was distasteful. He could have made his comments clear in another way. It was unfortunate for him. Please convey this to him as it does a diservice to him and the network.

Shame on Hillary and BET's CEO Bob Johnson. For anyone to try and force Barack Obama's hand into selecting a VP before it's time is a political crime. Obama's selection will be essential to countering the effect of the Republican strategy. Hillary offers nothing on foreign policy or national security. Hillary is like putting a bandaid on a broken bone. The bone will only heal with time. Obama must wait for McCain's announcement and counter that selection properly. If McCain offers a woman, then I'd counter with Hillary. If McCain counters with "The American Hero Ticket", then I'd look to Sen. Joe Biden. We may need "A noun, verb, and 9-11 again." Biden's stature in the Senate and the Party could calm any uproar about Hillary. This broken bone in the Democratic Party is a self-inflicted wound. I didn't even calculate the "Bill Effect." They may not be vetted.

Hillary go away! Does the ever ready bunny have a turn off switch?

I was surprised that my effort to add a compassionate, respectful message to Hillary's webpage that it was time to mourn and acknowledge defeat was not posted.

Apparently her request for feedback was meant only for those urging her to act as if she has not lost.

I find it impossible to believe that Hillary would accept being second fiddle as the Vice President. As she comported herself on the eve of her defeat - by making the day all about her - I think she would try to morph the Vice Presidency into her idiosyncratic version of a co-Presidency. A co-Presidency where she gets first dibs on all decisions, because, in her mind she is the one who should be President.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't see anything in this put-Hillary-in-power scenario that says anything about tackling our country's problems. It is not about what Hillary wants.

I will not vote for a ticket that does not include Hillary. He has fought for it and she is still our strongest leader. Hillary represents millions of americans. Nobody else deserves that right to be in the ticket. And this is not just my opinion; but the one that I hear from a lot of people in Florida.

I think that Hillary Clinton should run as an independent candidate. If she does this, she will suprise everyone and win the Presidential Race.

Best Regards

I am a 66 year old long-time feminist, and am I the only one who finds Hillary Clinton's behavior in defeat a very negative reflection on women? Can anyone imagine the loser in Game Seven at a World Series going back into the locker room and refusing to "concede" to the winning team? Picture this: The manager saying to the press: "We played an incredible series, and we need a few days to adjust to this loss. You have to allow us time to adjust." Oh, and then trumpeting how his/her team actually played so much better in every way than the eventual winner. I am all for fight and tenacity, but this is just ridiculous! Bob Johnson says that Barack Obama needs to choose a running mate to "help him govern." That is not the role of the vice-president. Can anyone seriously see either Hillary or Bill playing a supporting role to President Obama? They would spend all their time and considerable energy trying to stay at center stage. David Gergen was exactly correct when he said last night that she was talking as though she was working to create a "co-presidency," a "coalition" government. That isn't the way our government was created – not even for the Clintons. The very fact that the Clintons are demanding that Barack Obama concede to their demands is incredible in itself!

Obama should not pick Hillary as VP. She is making every attempt to bully her way into the job. She did all she could last night to steal attention away from a historic event in US history. It's clear she won't play second fiddle to anyone.

She should be given a roll in the White House to focus on getting a Universal Health Care plan in place and nothing more.

She is not the "change" Obama wants and should not be bullied into making her the VP.

This is very, very sad. All the pundits on CNN were vicious to Hillary Clinton last night. Throughout the campaign the race issue was denied yet Suzanne Mulveaux admonished Hillary by saying that she was disrespecting all the old black folks watching at home who would construe her behaviour as non accepting. Hillary and her husband did more for those same old black folks than anyone on earth, yet when it is her time for standing up as a woman the pundits, the superdelegates, the DNC and the old black folks chose to see Hillary supporters as "invisible". Perhaps the women can compromise, after all is that not all they have been doing throughout history? Say goodbye to your daughters indeed. Leave them to their own minds. You have not served them. Perhaps Suzanne and Donna would have learnt to have their own minds had Hillary been the nominee. Goodbye Suzanne, Goodbye Donna et al. Your'e on the bus. What you see is what you believe.

How many moderaters are women?

If she is like this now, what is she going to be like when she is Vice President? I would dump her, Obama will win over the Democrats that say they will vote for McCain, deep down inside they do not want another four years of McBush.

Obama has proven once again that he will take the HIGH road and the nation saw a clear difference in our candidates last night during back to back to back speeches, I wish that McCain and Hillary could have done the same on this HISTORIC DAY for all of our candidates and our nation instead of the need to feed in to the negative polarizing politics that the media has played over and over and over and politician feed to the weak minded, but it just goes to show you that it’s a clear case old school V.S. the new generation of voters. America is "TIRED" it’s time for a new road to be paved and AMERICA in all its colors can see threw all of the negative politics...and if McCain’s not careful it will come back to bite him in the ass just like it did Hillary...

Barclay

Yes Obama made history last night as the first African American to receive the nomination for President. Yet, Hillary also made history even though she fell just short of the nomination – she is the first woman to ever get as close as she did to being nominated for President. Why should we forget that? While I know many don't like the Clintons its still an accomplishment for women and we should take pride in it even as we move forward to elect the next President.

I hope that 360 will do something besides politics for a while – I am so burned out on politics and I would love to know what is happening in the rest of the world. Since the candidates are taking somewhat of a breather can we please have one too??

A MESSAGE TO HILLARYCLINTON.COM SENT THIS MORNING:

Please stop this! I am not proud of you today. I'm a 64 year old white women who was very active in the women's movement and I"m ashamed of you. Obama won and you did not even have the courtesy to congratulate the first African American nominee! I cannot accept you on the ticket after the way you acted. As gracious as Obama was to you, you slapped him and his supporters in the face. Grow up and maybe you can be a part of his administration or on the Supreme Court. But first, you had better come out strong for him or you and Bill will not have a legacy at all. Come on Hillary, you should be better than that!

I dont think Obama should pick Hillary for a running mate. She has showed what kind of crap that she can start. I think she would use the next four years to sabotage Obama, and then tell the public(I told you so!).

John-Texas

They would have to give Bill some job in the cabinet or something to keep him preoccupied. He could be helpful........if they could tame him down a bit. I've been behind Obama the entire time but cannot look past Hillary's abilities. McCain is reinventing himself........He is being totally led by others and I didn't even recognize the new evil version I saw in him yesterday.........it's shocking and scary really. Dr. Evil lol..............

Today, Obama and Hillary meet in NY. We have to wait and see......

This is the inaugural Letter of the "Don't pick Her, Pick Him" campaign.

This is a campaign to send a message to Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama in the effort to impact his Vice Presidential Choise.

The "Don't pick Her, Pick Him" campaign is centered on the premise that Senator Hillary Clinton should NOT be Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama's choise for Vice President.

Instead, Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama's choise for Vice President should be
Former President William Jefferson Clinton.

Please stay tuned for updates concerning this Campaign.

If Obama was to elect Hilary as VP then he would just be adding more fuel into the never ending fire. The reason for this being, is the fact that even though they touch basis on some of their political views, it seems to me that one truly wants change with regards to the lives of the citizens of the United States and the other one, wants change based on different terms thus wants and yearns for power (as what her husband had had in the past). Even though Obama is on the other end of the spectrum when it comes to George Bush and Dick Chaney, the sense of security for this nation would be at great lose if Clinton was to become VP...on the stance of McCain, no way! First of all, sure he might appeal to some blue collared Americans as does Clinton, However, he holds different views on the majority of issues that Obama does. Just by this reason alone, he would not be able to fit the VP chair. I honestly think, that in order for America and other countries of the world to feel safe again, Obama needs to elect someone like himself who shares the same values and opinions on every topic to be VP. By doing so, he would save himself the trouble in the future. We don't want another Bush, and even though America is ready for a change, they aren't 200% ready for a female to run this country.

I am very happy to see Obama won and feel sorry for HiIllary's super 'stubborness' and I am glad she will not be potentially running your country. I was a little bit upset though when I turned on the TV this morning and saw an interview done by one of the CNN reporters. This lady (the interviewee),who is a supporter of Hillary, said on national TV that 'I will not vote for Obama; I would rather see a woman (pause for 10 seconds) than Obama'!!!!! Don't tell me there is no discrimination, shame on you lady. I wish that Obama would not pick Hillary as his running VP, either win or lose the presidency, he has already made US history and millions of people are very proud of him.
Vote for what you believe, not the colour!!!!

I would like to Hillary run for president on an independent ticket. She and Obama have such different views, I don't know how anyone could support them on the same ticket. I don't know how any of her supporters could turn to Obama either.

I have voted democrat my entire life in every election. Regardless of what happens, I cannot vote for Obama under any circumstances because of his Islamic connections with his family and because of his church beliefs; even though he did quit his church, he was there for 20 years and that tells me he shared their views. I am generally open-minded and accepting, but after hearing any of those racist comments in ANY church, I would not go back to that church. Obama having stayed there shows he did share their views or was there strictly for political gain, either are immoral and shows bad judgment for a presidential nominee. I have learned about his Chicago ties and dealings. However, my own personal morals would not allow me to vote for Obama under any circumstances, regardless of the outcome; even if it means the Republicans win. I can go so far as saying I will vote for McCain just to help make sure Obama does not win.

Sen. Obama does need to sit down and talk with Sen Clinton and they need to address how he is going to win the Hispanic and Woman's vote that Sen Clinton has carried, but Pres Clinton is a wildcard that needs to be neutralized. Sen Clinton can solidify the party by endorsing Sen Obama, however that loyal Hispanic constituent will need to see something tangible to swing their vote to Sen Obama

John McCain ORR Barrack Obama

ORR = Operation Rebuild Republicans. This would be a movement by Republicans to vote for Obama in protest to show Republican party its time to regroup for 2012. I guess this would be the same as lets see oh yea Rush Limbaugh’s having Republicans voting for Hillary Clinton to prolong the inevitable fact that America is about to discover John McCain is a CLOWN.

I love Bill Clinton , admire Hillary and all, but for the sake of the Democratic Party I pray she does not stir things up any more then has been done.
From a political stand point, I thought African politicians were the only ones who would not concede power, but I now beg to differ.
An Obama/Clinton ticket would be extraordinary but not if Hillary continues to hold on to every opportunity to diminish what Obama has accomplished. Unite for the sake of a better America!

I would really like to see the content of the letter that Bob Johnson wrote to Mr. Obama re (in my opinion) strong-arming Mr. Obama to place Hillary on the ticket as VP. I am truly appauled and disgusted in his lack of dignity, morals and values. When he negatively atacked Obama in the beginning of the campaign, I vowed never to watch BET, purchase anything with his name on it. Thank you in advance Anderson. Please try to get a copy of the letter and place it on your site.

First off let me start off by speaking the truth in that yesterday was a monumental day considering how long blacks were enslaved by "Rich White Men". Society has grown but the media hasn't. The media and other powers that be are the ones keeping the race and gender issues alive. Everytime i watch anything political it always goes down the path ofolder white voters or older white voters in certain areas ect. I think the powerful media know what these people will do because they are their own flesh and blood and they want to keep some type of advantage alive, so why not try to keep dividing the people by using race and gender. Whats even worse is how the media wants them to stay ignorant and considers itself "Professionals" while dodging the real situation at hand. I also know that this comment probably won't get posted but hopefully someone will read it before it does. Face it "OLD" America, your worst nightmare is coming.....CHANGE! I'm glad i'm not a puppet like the rest and smarter than i look!

LOL Well there goes any thought of Hillary having any post in Obama's wh; when Obama spokesman referred to Hillary's speech as that of 'deranged narcissism'. It may be true, and I hope he doesn't apologize for it as I had always respected him and his objectiveness as much as that of Candy Crowley.

First, I'm 60, a white female and an independent. I've watched these campaigns closely for several months now. I was proud to see the first woman candidate and equally as happy for the first black candidate, and I don't dislike McCain.

What happened to Hillary? She has gone from a hard-working supporter of the middle class to a self serving, "what's in it for me" politician (maybe she was all along and is now showing her colors). She repeatedly claims the most votes by insisting that all votes be counted. Yet she insistently refuses to include caucus state votes and those Michigan voters who supported Obama by voting uncommitted. That means "count all votes except those that I say don't count." She shouts that over 17 million Americans have voted for her, the most ever in a primary election, but refuses to acknowledge that same amount has voted for Obama.

What happened to Hillary and her statement that, once there was a nominee, she'd work her heart out for the party and the nominee. She couldn't even bring herself to acknowledge the nominee let alone work for him. What should have been a fabulous moment in our nation's history has been overshadowed by her inciteful speech demanding that she's the best candidate and urging her supporters to email her and tell her what to do next (and her supporters began chanting "Denver," possibly believing there was still a chance for her to get the nomination).

What happened to Hillary? She turned into a bitter, arrogant, shrewd polititial who acts like she means to make people pay for crossing her. Please don't let her on the ticket!

Both Obama and Clinton have energized the Democratic party in such an amazing way! As a voter who has backed Clinton all the way, it is my sincere hope that these two capable politicians will do what is most needed now and join forces to give us the best chance of winning in the Fall.

I remember back in 1988 that George Bush was getting pressure to put Jeanne Kirkpatrick on the ticket with him but, realizing that he would be overshadowed by her intelligence and presence, he opted for the safe choice,..Dan Quayle. Bush knew he was safe and his health was secure because no one in their right mind would want to see a President Quayle. If Barack chooses Hillary, she will never settle comfortably into a #2 slot and she would still be seen as threat, not a teammate. She would want more of a co-presidency. My bet is that somehow, the Clinton Legacy will be protected, but that Evan Bayh will be your next VP. BTW: Dan Quayle won his Senate seat from Evan Bayh's father, former Sen. Birch Bayh. Oh, but John McCain will pick Kay Bailey Hutchinson so either way, our next administration will break ground.

As an interested Canadian, I find this race the most interesting in a long time. It had everything from a clean to a not so clean campaign. What I find the most interesting is that there seems to be a movement a foot to make Senator Clinton the VP on the ticket. I ponder the wisdom of this move. To me the VP is someone who is in the White House should something happen to incapacitate the President. Hence, a person, who stays in the background until needed.

Sadly, I do not feel that Senator Clinton and Ex-President Clinton would give anyone the easy feeling that they could stay in the background and "have the back" of the President. Having two such high profile and strong personalities in the White House would make me nervous, if I was the President. There would be the constant "second guessing" at every turn of a decision from the President. The Clinton's would be too strong a force to allow someone to run the country without their interference. I suggest it is difficult enough to run the country and you would not want someone on your team who may not always "have your back"

why doesn't Obama show real change and reach across the aisle to make Chuck Hagel (the anti-war republican) or Bobby Jindal the VP candidate

Hillary Clinton is a fighter. She doesn’t back down. She’ll go to bat for us every time. I hope she runs as an independent, she already has mine as well as 18 million votes. The democratic party is over. We need a leader for the working majority. Hillary ‘08 Independent!

I find it difficult to understand why Hillary is so intent on staying the course eventhough Barack has clearly obtained the required delegates to be the presumptive nominee.
Even this morning she was talking at the AIPAC meeting as though she was the presumptive nominee and would suggest with all her emphasis on "I" in her speech that she would not make a very good team player which is so critical in the being a Vice President nominee.
Her ego along with her husband Bill on the sideline would doom this so called dream ticket.
The dream ticket could have been a reality if she had been more gracious in defeat and acknowledged the historical precedence that was set by having an African American be the presumptive nominee for the democratic party.
What she has done to date is galvanize a lot of women voters to oppose Barack's nomination and will make it extremely difficult to bring healing to the party that is mow sorely divided.
I had hopes that America would finally get it right but now it would seem that the party will destroy itself from within and allow McCain to become your next president.
Which basically means that, unfortunately;we will have more of the same.
What a let down!!!

I have to admit that I am much more interested in what Hillary Clinton is going to do, than I am interested in where Obama goes from here.
I think that Hillary's announcement eclipsed Obama's "Jesus Christ: Superstar" moment.

So, is running as an Independent a possibility?
In what ways can she take this all the way to the floor in Denver?

Wee keep questioning whether Hillary Clinton's supportors will back Obama or McCain if Clinton gets on this "hypothetical" dream ticket. We also need to address what Obama's supportors afeel nd how they will react if Clinton on the ticket too? Have you looked into polls etc to see if Obama's supportors will still vote for Obama if he had Hillary as the VP? I know I will not vote for him if he gets Hillary on his ticket....I might just become a republican then........

You know...........if Obama could somehow get the endorsement of Jesse Ventura, and get Ventura to attack the Republican machine with him it would help out a lot. Ventura in the past will not endorse a Dem or Repub. But, he did say on Larry King that he felt Obama was better than McCain.

Some of you may find this humorous..............but I'm originally from MN. You can NEVER, EVER, count out Ventura from anything. He has the ability to BE the average guy. We see him as one of us and for us. Lol .................but just ask MN, or just watch him waltz in and sit as a Senator from MN this fall.

I hope you can analyze this: subtract all the superdelegates and the ones not won by direct vote of the democrats all across America and give us,if you please, the naked numbers. After thanking you in advance I may add that the vote from PR is important due to the fact that if we choose to interact actively with our fellow nationals enabled to vote in Nov. we can also influence the outcome greatly. What about a Hillary write-in campaign? It's time for a very clear apology for the sexist offenses received by her as a woman and a LADY representing a numerous group of baby-boomer ladies like me. Knowledge and experience empowers all human beings and humanism makes them a real and empathic person.

I have never been so excited. We are on the move to not only change our country but to change the world. The change and hope that Obama speaks of can be found in all of us. Obama’s integrity is our vehicle and inspiration that can unite us to make this happen. Our environment, economy, educationally system, health care, dependency on foreign fuel and engagement in a ‘dumb war’ says clearly, ‘It’s time to turn the page.’ We are all faced with choices but at the end of the day we must live with our choices. I am glad that I chose ‘Hope and Change’. I pray that others will hear the small voice inside us that is daring us to find the courage to HOPE. “The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them” (Prov. 11:3).

I like others in our country have watched the democratic process play out over these last months. I'm neither republican or democrat in fact I am sorry to say i've never voted in my 61 years on this earth. The excitement Barack Obama has generated is unbelievable and mystifying. He has run on the promise of change. I wish I had a nickle for every politician who had used that as a campaign slogan till he got elected and then was beaten down by the establishment. I am still waiting for Mister Obama to give me specifics on his changes and how they will be paid for. I fear our great country is at a crossroad and one wrong step will lead us to an abyss which we will never get out of. The decline in the last eight years has drug this once great nation to an also ran. Control of our country is in the hands of foreign contries and governments. We are at a place where a lot of our businesses and financial institutions are controlled by foreign coutries. They drive our economy and control all aspects of our dailey life. We must become self suffient again and cut our dependency on other countries. We must take care of our elderly, children, poor, homeless and our veterans. No one in this country should be without food, shelter or medical care. All the money we send around the world and waste on war could take care of our sick and needy,better educate our children, provide the medical care everyone needs and take care of our elderly and veterans.When this is accompished then we can become the worlds helper. I'm not using this reasoning to be hard and unfeeling I'm simply saying we have some of the same suffering in our country that other countries have and they turn a blind eye when we have a tradgedy how many times do others help us? Now is the time for all of us to pull together and make this country great again and show the world what we are made of. I realize by not exercising my right to vote I probably shouldn't gripe, but thats what our country is about democracy express yourself right or wrong. Thanks for listening.

Hopefully Obama will pick, as you said, a "lesser mortal" as his VP. In this case less would be more. I was willing to accept it if she was chosen but after that selfish, embarassing performance last night I just want to see her, and Bill, gone!!

Barclay I was surprised You all did not do a recap of
the last few months of the campaign. I am looking forward
to see how 360 will cover this year's election. I hope not
as usual.

I am wondering if HRC and McCain got a lot of negative
feedback for their words last night because the tone sure
seems to have changed on the morning after.

The McCain campaign be find a better color scheme
and backdrop for their candidate. Right now the settings
are not making good television. A lot of people are not
digging lime green.

Please stop referring to woman as monolithic voters.
We are now 51 percent of the population and are
in different demos.

Barclay I know some parents whose kids are asking
if Obama won. They like saying his name for some reason.
Because they always laugh after hey say it,

Hillary has vowed to help the democratic party suceed in November so give her space to encourage her delegates and followers to support Obama . She is a formidable combatant who unfortunately cannot tell who the real opponents are, and cannot hear the referee's whistle that the contest is over. She is by herself in the ring.....still fighting. She is pushing her agenda, fighting Obama , fighting the DNC. Leave her long enough and she will be fighting America. She definitely is not VP matierial

Jeffrey Tubin misspoke last night during the primary finals when he stated that Barack Obama was not a Baby boomer. If I am not mistaken the Baby boomer generation started in 1946 and ended in 1964. Barack Obama was born in 1961. I believe that makes him a Baby boomer.

WHY does everyone beleive that Clinton has so many backers that would affect the outcome of the General Election. We all know that Republican groups have admitted that they have mobilized groups of republicans to vote for her in the Primaries. All of those votes that she received were not just democrats who would have voted for her in the General Election. You can beleive that the oppoisite is more so true for Obama. It seems that Mr. Pfleger was RIGHT: HILARY CLINTON BELEIVES THAT she is ENTITLED to SOMETHING!

We conservative Democrats won't vote for the most liberal member of the Senate for President under ANY circumstance. This will be my eighth time to vote for President and I have only voted for the Democratic nominee twice. A moderate Republican is a far better choice than another McGovern/Carter/Dukakis/Kerry Democrat. Now, when political news comes on/ or commercials I change the channel. We are going to vote early (McCain(after all, McCain is a great American) followed by a straight Democratic ballot) and take a leisurely bus and train vacation through Mexico late October early November. Then on November 6, clock in, go to work, buy groceries,pay bills. Life goes on....

I believe picking Clinton as his V.P. will be a huge mistake.

Mrs. Clinton truly disrespected, not only Senator Obama, but all African Americans, by not congratulating him on such a momentous occasion. I was truly disappointed that she, whom I thought had a little bit of class [left], did not take the high road and show even the slightest bit of recognition on this historical triumph. I honestly believe that had it been the other way around, he would have given her her [historical] recognition without any hesitation.

Senator Obama needs to be very afraid of her. For I don't think she will work with him, but against him.

Michelle Obama will never allow Hillary to be her husband's VP, period; she is the one pulling the strings and she is the one who's the born leader; Barack reported to her at the law firm, followed her to Rev. Wright then followed him for twenty years; see a pattern? As for lesser mortals, it's hilarious to suggest that a candidate with no tangible experience, no foreign policy experience, no military experience, questionable friends and racist spiritual advisors are anything but a "lesser mortal."

SC Gal-

I respectfully disagree. I too am of the generation that well remembers what America was like before and during the Clinton administration. The Clintons did a great job when Bill was president. Frankly, because of all of the distractions about his personal life I don't think he is given nearly enough credit for all the good was accomplished during his two terms. He was the right person for the job at that time. Now that time has passed and it is a new day, the world is different and we need a different leader who is ready to face the challenges of THIS time.

Maybe somone will now examine Him closely, his life and who he is really is.

Because the people do not know.

I respect Mrs. Clinton, but she dissapointed last night..
Her speech was self elevating and targeted to pressure Obama hence the need to remind us about 18M people that voted for her..
And what about the petition by BET Bob Johnson- a petition is not a request.. It's pressuring to say the least..So, let them stop pretending that they are requesting for consideration- it's simply a show of might..

Barack should be able to pick a candidate that does not believe that he/she is the better option.. He'll be fighting with a power couple, and people who've been there , done that!
The Clinton's had 10 years to change America, they need to let equally qualified individuals leave their mark in white house..

I agree with Chris, less is more sometimes..

Sounds as though there is alot of bitterness still, people threatening to leave the party . The emotional train will come to a stand still soon enough , people will be allowed their time to vent and express their disappointment their said favorite did not prevail and then people will make the right choice and vote, knowing the current state of our economy that the so called conservative experts handled. Its just counter productive to be divided as parties and as a people(AMERICANS). Now it is time to move forward and no Clinton should not be offered the VP slot based on the way she ran her campaign. She should now pursue a a role of support to the party nominee after all, its is now whats best for the party and AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Shame on you, Hillary," is all I can feel for her. She's shown her true colors, one being GREEN with envy! Obama won fair and square, a historic, hard fought nomination. But Hillary and president X just can't accept it. Apparently, she can't understand the basic rules of the game, i.e., "you have to know when to hold em, know when to fold elm, know when to walk away, and know when to RUN."
Clinton's behavior has made it plain to so many of us, the "hardworking African American's", how she and president X really feel about our past loyalties. I am disappointed in them both! I used to be proud of all of their accomplishments, but those have been tarnished by their arrogance and classlessness. Her speech last night screamed that she's not ready for the White House and certainly not ready to stand with the powerful, Barack Obama for the United States of America.

I am a 62 yr old woman who feels it is time for change in our nation. I am encouraged by the record turnouts of new voters and the interest of the youth today. I have always supported and admired the Clintons but feel it is time for them to let go of the reigns and put their support behind Obama for the good of the nation. I trust they will do that.

The world is watching with even more interest now that Obama has won the primary race. The US is at a pivotal point and it matters to the rest of the world what direction we take. The old ways created the image "ugly American" to the world. Obama offers a break from the status quo and hope for a better image around the world.

We must not fear change but rather embrace it.

I am an Independent, who has not supported one candidate over another. If all Americans think for one minute we have a voice in this or any election forth coming you are mistaken. The elections are manipulated to sever the few high-powered in government.
Just look at the events of this campaign.
Lets be honest here, from day one the news media has been bias. They have not been fair to the candidates, nor given Americans the real truth behind the stories. They broadcast what they want us to hear and know. Have you ever noticed the clips they choose to show, clips that in most cases then not are negative, without out revealing the actual truth behind it.
The talking heads you see before your TV screens get there marching orders from the higher ups, who have already set the agendas.
These self-severing originations from the onset, picked a candidate and proceeded
To influence the American people with propaganda. The news media, journalist and ill informed annoying talking heads are part of America’s problem!

Sympathy for Senator Clinton, I think not! PROUD YES INDEED!!! She is a fighter, strong with many years of experience. She represents millions of strong Americans who will support her in whatever path she chooses.

I am very happy that Senator Obama won the race for democrate party, but I have a problem with everyone saying this is a historic day because this the first time in American History that an "African-American" has been elected for a major party, but are we just totally denying his mother heritage? He is not just "African-American" he is bi-racial. Hearing the first "African-American" this shows you that America still feels that if you have a black parent you are considered black. People lets not deny his heritage, and support a man that can truly unify this country he is a true American half white and half black.

Aa a black male born and reared in a Kentucky coal mining “camp” in the late 40's, the 50's, and the early 60's watching my father work himself to a horrific death from black lung disease trying to provide for fifteen children and an invalid sister who had no medical insurance; having served in the military during the Viet Nam Era and having watched my friends die for a country that would not let them eat in restaurants that our Vietnamese allies could, and seeing their widows being told that they could not use the $15,000 check that came with the American flag their fallen spouse had earned to by a home outside the “colored section” of town; having participated in civil rights protests while in college in the late 60's and early 70's; and having lived through the murders, assignations, lynching, humiliation, and jailing of people who would never live to see this day, the fruit of their efforts, I say, “Bravo America!” As a Bible thumping Christian, I sure wish that the democrats would rethink their position on the two moral issues that still divide us.

I agree with Cindy. This all politics all the time is becoming unwatchable. Of course we want you to cover the race extensively, but you have a whole hour every night (two in fact if the second hour went back to being more than just a repeat). There is a lot going on in the world that you would have plenty of time to cover if you cut back on some of the punditry speculation.

A few days ago I was watching another CNN show and saw a report on Katrina survivors, yet 360, the show that made the promise to never forget the disaster, didn't even mention the story. And what about international news? Have you guys moved on from everything? I guess it's all about ratings.

I think she should have stayed till the convention.
And then let the people decide who will run, not the media pressuring the superdelegates to back one or the other on TV Tues nite.

Hillary speech last night really turn me off with her. She just will not give up the spot life it is as if she have to be center stage. Hillary say that her 18 million voter need to be heard, well you know Obama have just as many and he won last night can his voters be heard first. Sit down Hillary for just one minute give Obama his glory. I dont think the dream team as you guys call it a bad ideal, But Hillary and Bill will have to know there place in where they stand and not try to run the House. Obama be very careful when choosing your VP its your choice so do it wisely and not because this is what people expect. Remeber they never expect you to be in the position that you are in. They counted you out before you even go started but you showed the world what you are made of and what you can bring to the table and this is awsome. Keep up the good work and stay level headed.

i am so happy for obama. i just don't know why hillary won't concede. such a bad loser. she underestimated obama from the beginning

If a person hates another person, based on that persons race, religion, or sexuality, then that person, has the potential of being a terrorist.

If we democrats cant come together(HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON) and join as AMERICANS, not as blacks, whites, native americans, latinos, cubans,etc.... If we dont succeed in coming as one the it doesnt matter who he picks because it will be a divide amongst us that will only encourage hatred an anomosity because we let our personal attachments to our specific candidates engulf the overall goal as a party that represents not only change but equality to all Americans

Say no to the Clintons! If Obama is fighting for change then he has to leave the self-serving duo behind. He won the nomination as a result of running a superb grass roots campaign and fundraising for each and every single dollar. He proved that he doesn't need the Clintons to win anything.

Joe Biden, Joe Lieberman, Michael Bloomberg...pick one!

Wouldn't Caroline Kennedy be a great VP choice (if only she were interested)? She's bright, well-respected and admired throughout the nation. Surely, she'd help to secure some of the female votes.

Time to bring class, hope and amazing leadership back to the White House.

SC Gal. Get over the Clintons. This is a new day and a new era. The babyboomer era is over. It is time for fresh ideas, fresh blood in the WH. Look at the country you BBs have left for the younger generation. I'm a late boomer myself(51) but I got a chance to enjoy some of the benefits of this country. Look at it now. Gas has never been as high, home purchase prices are ridiculous. The one thing I have always noticed about the boomers was that the only thing they cared about were the issues that effected them. Now the boomers are really old and all they care about is their pension, adult communities and their medication. What about the war (other than you being protected), education, cost of living, medical care for working and children, the things that effect the younger generation. We need a change in the WH.

Hillary Supporters, Hillary Supporters, I am so sick of this mantra. Millions voted for Obama on his own without Hillary. I am sick and tried of her being treated with kid gloves and all this unwarranted attention being paid to Hillary and her feelings. ENOUGH!!!! Where is the petition for those who don't want her on the ticket? She needs to be VP so bad run with McCain. Barack has the right to choose someone he can work with. Two's company, three is a crowd!! And the Clintons have a very toxic crowd. Put these two in your rear view as soon as possible.

Barack on Friday morning have a conference call and announce that you are open to all candidates for the job.

Obama needs to pick a strong and respected (ha) democrat as a Veep (as the lingo goes).

Hillary is not it the candidate...not after this past week. If Bill's public reaction to the Vanity Fair article is a small indication of what may happen in the future, Obama will have his hands too full. Will her notoriety be too much or overshadow her 'boss'.

Then Obama tried to call her twice to no avail except voice mail. Then, only, this morning when they arrived at the same function did she speak every so briefly with him.

She needs time.

She has had time since January to prepare for defeat and everytime she loaned her campaign millions of dollars she had time. She wants to think about it for 48 hours. Fine. She doesn't have to publically state her desicion but if she can't talk to a prospective running-mate to shoot the breeze and just talk....she doesn't deserve to be Veep!

What a great season it was. I was hooked, just like a season finale of Lost or 24!

I have to ask one thing though, the news makes it seem that everyone wants Hilliary, but on all these network blogs, it seem the opposite...?

WOW! What a show! The excitement and numerous people voting and coming out to see and meet the candidates, especially that Tall Senator Barak Obama, the next President of America, 2008!

What about the promise after 2000 by the democratic party that every vote would count? The republican's didn't create that lie! I hope Hillary declines to run as the VP. I can not vote for this guy no matter who the running mate is.

Obama will Run over mccain like a Rih to let the republican Know that they dont come to BIG

This is serious stuff; not some soap or sporting event on tv.

im glade that he won not because hes black but because that america has changed over 45 years ago. he finally can say he is the nominee. i have deep respect for sCliton but the other day when she spoke was not what i suspected from her. Im only 15 and i interested in polictics ,its awsome ,i wacth cnn almost everyday. this is the first time i post a comment hear. so im just representing the teens because interested to.

The sooner we stop talking about a possible Obama/Clinton "dream" ticket the better. Let's be honest, after all those two have gone through in this campaign, they're not going to morph into a copacetic team in a few short months. Even if they both believed they could, I don't think the public would buy it.

I think a solid party-healing compromise is in order. His name: Wesley Clark.

From Rhodes Scholar to military expert, General Clark's vast experience is the perfect accompaniment to Barack Obama's youthful exuberance. Obama needs someone like this on the ticket to help counter criticism that he hasn't been around long enough.

Clark has been a big supporter of Hillary Clinton. I think it would to wonders for the fractured Democratic Party if Obama would reach out to him now. It would also give Clinton a way to bow out gracefully by throwing her support behind someone already close to her heart. Everybody wins–except the Republicans.

And finally, does anyone not like this guy? My dream ticket: Obama/Clark. What do we have to do to make it happen?

At the begining of the race I was going to vote for Hillary, because of the things I knew of her and her husband, but then I started looking at news and listening to these radio shows and going the individual web sites of the candidates and I read Mr. Obamas book My Fathers Dream and I decided he would better understand the circumstances of my life. I am a black woman. Hillary really can only empathize with the the things I have had to go through in my short time. His mother was lower class, was on welfare, had to raise her two children alone with the support of her parents. He had to go to a school on a scholarship and based on his grades. Hillary's parents were wealthy enough said. Yes she can understand me on an emotional level because she goes through the hard I feel, but that is as far as the commonality goes.

She has been like a bull dog wanted to keep the bone regardless of who has the right to it. This man won fair and square. She has changed the rules some many times it is hard to count. All this people in Florida and Michigan taking Hillary's side get real. She did a couple of interviews at the begining and said those elections, wouldn't count , but when she saw the score board she called fowl. What about those people who did not vote in those elections, because they thought their votes wouldn't count.

Why are Canadians telling us who to vote for; we don't go telling them who to vote for in their elections.

*Also what about the 18 million voters he won do we not mean anything.

*If he wants to choose Hillary I would support him no matter what because I am a true Democrat, but I sure don't think he should be forced to take her as a VP. He should choose someone who will have his back, not stab him in the back as soon as his back is turned. Which Hillary will do because you see the way she has behaved the entire campaign. Its all about her and not us as the people.

*Barack said its best this is about us and our children who will running this country next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Tanita,

For you to call a man rasict just because of what his pastor has said is sad. I am a person of strong faith and believe that Obama has strong faith. He went to that church strengthen his beliefs in GOD not his pastor. Not every single sunday Rev. Wright preached the SAME sermon. By all means you are entitle to your own opinion, but we are worried about of future in this country not what somebody pastor has said and done.

Just something to think about.

I vote on the issues not on someones beliefs.

I hope the media finally begins to research who Obama is. I think there is much to learn yet and I am very disappointed that the media has not done their home work. As often the case, the media will act surprised to learn facts that they should have researched long ago!

To Crystal

I too vote on the issues, NOT on someone's color. If I only voted on color then that would be a disservice to the legacy of Dr. King. If people voted for Sen. Obama just because of the color of his skin then they should be ashamed to celebrate MLK Day,

I voted for Sen. Obama because of what he promises to bring to ALL americans.

I lost all interest after reading Wild Bill.

I have no interest in Barack Hussein Obama anyway.

"CHICAGO – A prominent fundraiser for Sen. Barack Obama and Gov. Rod Blagojevich was convicted Wednesday of fraud and money laundering after a high-profile federal trial provided an unusually detailed glimpse of the pay-to-play politics that has made Illinois infamous. "

Congratulations Senator Obama!!!!! Make us proud!

On the VP question, take your time, do your research. No pressure.

And be sure to thank your wife for being so supportive of you. Good job Michelle.

Has anyone mentioned the idea of a 3rd party run for Clinton. It would be historic and she has a legitimate shot at winning. I listened to Gov. Ventura on Larry King earlier and believe he's right. We need a legit 3rd party to balance things in Washington. Plus throw in her unbelievable desire to be Pres. and I think she should do it. Sort of a snub to her so called friends who bailed out on her (ie: Richardson).

You mused, "What happened to Sen. Clinton's lead?" It's obvious. The press fell in love with Obama and pulled out everything they could to defeat Sen. Clinton. The little smirks at every sexist joke, bringing up every old negative about Pres. Clinton, glossing over Obama's weaknesses, these are what brought about Sen. Clinton's defeat. It is so discouraging to watch, given that it's the same treatment the press gave George Bush to get him elected. It's truly amazing that the media cannot recognize Sen. Clinton's intelligence, experience and superb qualifications. It's time to overhaul the primary process so that the voters in every state get their voices heard without the influence of media pressure and hype.

June 4th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

Here’s a thought. Hillary and her older women supporters are having trouble dealing with her defeat by underdog Barack Obama. Not unlike the Giants beating the Pats.
Maybe part of the problem here is lack of experience in hard fought contests and how to win and lose gracefully. Women my daughter’s age (in their 20’s) have lots of experience with this, thanks to Title 9 and other reasons, they grew up playing sports and winning and losing a lot, dealing with the emotions involved. But women of Hillary’s age, for the most part, missed out on this. Maybe they don’t know how to deal with this because they didn’t get much practice while they were young and impressionable? I’m just an old white guy, what do I know–any reaction from you younger or older women?

Firstly – Ms. Faye Wattleton is the best. Where has she been? I miss her work

Secondly – Give Ms. Clinton a break. She needs a couple of days to chill and get over her loss. She will do the right thing and approve Obama. But remember Clinton did get the popular vote. That does mean something.

Please help me understand how Hillary's is doing what is best for the Democratic Party and can help Obama win in November when she won't even concede that he has WON the Democratic nomination? In my opinion she is interested in the ATTENTION and gaining all the power she can muster. If she really wanted to bring the party together, she would have graciously congradulated Obama last evening! She did not...it was all about HER. If Obama chooses her for his running mate I will be extremely disappointed in his choice. I think Richardson would be an asset to Obama and the Presidency. But PLEASE...NOT HILLARY!

I totally agree with sc gal the young people don't know what clinton did and how he fixed the country and stood up for the little people and i too am ending my support for democrats and voting republican.
totally fed up with politics.

I agree with Cindy and SC Gal –Biased, worst coverage ever. I hope no one gets an award for this campaign coverage.

i love your show

Hillary Clinton For Independent

I propose that Senator Obama counter Senator McCain's Towne Hall offer with this:

Agree to three Towne Hall meetings after the Republican Convention. Start with a Towne Hall, then a Debate; continue to alternate and end with a Debate. This allows the candidates to engage the American people, but does not allow Senator McCain to completely dictate how the candidates engage.

As a Canadian black man, I find it disturbing that CNN and Americans seem to be more focused on Hillary Clinton, rather than focus on the historic movement forward in American history. Barack Obama embodies all that is hopeful an represents change in the world. I would like to hear more about what went right with Obama's campaign rather that what went wrong with Clinton's.

Hillary should run as an independent. As for the reporters and media, you are all biased against HIllary. Everytime I watch CNN. all those reporters or guests that you interview are all for Obama. What happened to equality and fairness in reporting? Might as well change your shows to the Obama Show.

Obama will pick his own VP. And, it has been clear to me that it will not be Hillary. I can't figure out why it's not clear to everyone. Obviously, he is going to have to come out on the stage and say emphatically; "I will not have Hillary as my Vice President. Got it?"

As so many are saying, including me, on several blogs, Obama wouldn't last six months. The Clintons are capable of anything.

Everyone keeps saying they don't know Obama. Well, if Hillary's supporters think they know her, they haven't looked very far.

I also can't figure out why Hillary thinks the people who voted for her are hers. Most of them are Bills, and the rest are free agents. They aren't robots and aren't in her pocket. They just voted for her, and they knew it was a contest. Someone had to loose. They don't belong to her. Their vote lost. The end, already.

I have really been a little disgusted with the news coverage, today.
If speculation carried any weight, this world would be a total mess.
Every moderator wants to think they have the right prospect for the candidates, and the listeners, who are listening to get some insight, must go to bed thinking nothing makes any sense. Forget Hillary!!!
She needs to go home to Bill in New York. But, we all know what he's like because we DO know Hillary and Bill. Just give the listeners a break and stop trying to convince Obama to put her in as VP. If he does, he is sunk. Do you want to be a part of that?

ds, missouri

Sen Clinton showed a total disrespect for Sen Obama throughout this campaign. Sen Obama had to be the Jackie Robinson of the campaign. I still don't think she has any respect for him. I think it would be a very big mistake for Sen Obama to make her his VP. We all know that there are some democrates that will not vote for him because he is black, but real democrates will vote for him.

I cannot help but wonder how many other people feel the way that I do about this election. I really feel like this has been a very racial election. I think the DNC made the decision they did because they did not want riots, etc., and I think it would have happened if Hillary would have won. She would have, I believe, if they would have had a re-vote in Michigan and Florida, but Sen. Obama stated he would not do it. I think the reason why he wouldn't was because he knew he would lose. It would go against him, therefore, he said no. Michigan and Florida people that vote in the election in November are not going to forget that. Those states, I will bet will go to the Republicans, due to his decision. They were willing to do a re-vote and he said no. That tells you something. Also, he is suppose to be so American – HAH! He was the only one that would not hold his hand over his heart while the others did, he removed his American Flag lapel pin with this rediculous reason, until recently when he met with Vet's. His wife has never been proud of her country. You cannot convince me that he will remain friends with the his old reverend after all this is said and done, but he had to get him out of the way now so he could have a chance at winning this election. Putting him in the White House without the qualifications, is like doing this again 8 years ago, when we put someone else in the White House without the qualifications needed. This country is a mess now and I hate to think what it will be like in 4 more years. Barack Obama can say what he wants about John McCain, however, John McCain is his own person, and not President Bush. He is very well qualified for this job! Shame on John Edwards, who, after being on Larry King stated he would not endorse and should leave that up to the people, did so a day or two later after Hillary Clinton beat him tremendously in West Virgina (I believe that was the state, forgive me if I am incorrect). However, you did not see John Edwards come out and endorse Hillary Clinton when Barack Obama won (again, I believe), North Carolina because 91% of the African American people voted for B. H. Obama. I also get extremely concerned when I hear that a Hamas leader wants BHO to get the Nomination and elected. That is scary to me. I just think, that is all we need. I am an Independant, so it doesn't have anything to do with Dem. or Rep.
I also have to ask, when are we going to help our own people and our own country. It must be done as it is already too late now. We can't take care of every other country for even four more years!
All I can say now is God help us all!
Ms. A. Woods

Season TWO????
I hope Flavor Flav decides to go for a Flavor of Love 4--I need a rest from all of this political drama..........the answer is simple...McCain=four more years of the same. If you want to keep your home–vote Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lost hope in the democrative party , yes its a sad day in American history folks. I will take great PRIDE in voting for McCain. Shame on you haters and Obama campain . Mrs. Hillary Clinton to much of lady to dirty her name with racist haters like Obama.

How any times can Obama say – this is not the person I knew? (Tony Resko etc) need I say more?

Why should pundit's insist they get involved in whom Obama choses for V/P, leave him alone, as far as Hillary is concerned, it 's time she answer the charges, Peter Paul has bought against her in LA Superior court, case#304174, she faught hard,to keep this case out of the public, and to secure a spot for herself, after all she got away with her minister's sexual abuse of a seven year old girl, fron Utica NY,,and never had to answer a question, then there are the 47 dead folk " google "Death during Clinton's Presidency", Then google; "The Clinton Chronicles" it is all ther, Hillary play's on the fact that (Those little old ladies do not go on the internet, they have no idea ehat is going on.!) Sure as She is Hillary, Obama would meet some untimely demise, while she and Old Bill," Play Dumb"....Hell no, Let her go....!

I have intently listened to Sen. Obama / Clinton for 15 months. I have watched and loved America for 5 decades. But Obama has no chance of deliveriing on his vague promises of change. With what? How? America is financial broken and deeply in debt, both current account, international payments and the lists goe on. The only thing that works in America is the printing press at the mint. If America is not worse off after 4 years of him, ie., deeper in debt, in more wars, in more threats of wars, in more quagmire it will be only by Gods interventions. H. Stark

This is written to all of you Clinton supporters who say you will vote for John (McSame) and not for Mr. Obama. Those of you who would rather have a continuation of the same Bush policies and mindset. Those of you who want the US goverment to continue using your hard earned tax dollars to pay off the "Sons of Iraq" to put down their weapons and not share in the sectarian violence in Iraq. So much for the surge!!! The factions there are still hating and killing each other and American soldiers.

Get ready for $7.00 – $10.00 per gal. gas prices. Get ready to accept drastic changes to your way of life.

WAKE UP!!!!

While there are many advantages to having Senator Clinton on the Democratic ticket as VP, long-term strategy dictates that she best serve this country in her current role or at best as part of Obama's cabinet. Years ago, it was easy to divide the voting public along liberal (Democratic) and conservative (Republican) lines as well as poor/working class (Democratic) and business/upper class (Republicans). Today dynamics are different. Voters segment based on status quo vs. change as well as pragmatic vs. idealistic. Though Senator Clinton is perfectly qualified as VP, an Obama-Clinton ticket would send a mixed message to voters in this election. Would the Democratic Party be regarded as the party of new ideals and change or the party of status quo and pragmatism? And, what would the Democratic image be to voters eight years from now if Clinton decided to run again for President? Besides, Clinton can achieve much more for this country as a senator than as VP. Why settle for VP?

It seems that Sen. Clinton is trying to hold the delegates as power to get what she wants. I believe that the Cabinet Member on Health would be great, because it would fit right up her alley. The other thought was that if she wants only the VP spot, then her assignment could be to work with the Cabinet Member in charge of what she is most interested, and help possible President Obama pick the Cabinet Member for this area. Then she would have someone who would work with her and probably get more accomplished. I was impressed with her stepping into the job of working on the health benefits for Americans when past President Clinton was first elected. She is a very brilliant and hard worker, who could advance the party ideals, while working with what she is most interested, and possibly aid President Obama pick the Cabinet Member help in this Presidency.
