Hi Anderson, Erica and bloggees!!!

Hillary Clinton will have more power if she remains in the Senate. Keeping as many Democrats in the House and Senate should be a priority. And let's hear it for Bill Richardson for VP or Secretary of State.

Good Evening 360 Bloggers! (Hi Megan!)

I'm wondering about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, how the meeting will turn out?

I am glad to hear that Barack and Hillary are meeting tonight. It is very important. Tells you alot that Barack would go to Hillary's home to meet

Good evening Anderson, Erica and bloggers I hope it will be an interesting show tonite.

I hope Clinton and Obama stay mum on the details of their meeting for awhile. It's not too much to ask to wait until Saturday to see what the scoop will be.

Hi everyone. The results of the meeting should be interesting. Can't wait to see Candy's interview.

I'd really prefer to let the dust settle for a couple of weeks, before any announcements of potential running mates.

Hello Anderson, Erica, and Bloggers!
I can't wait hear from Obama and Clinton breaking news right now..... I hope they will ticket team tonight.........

I'm glad they're talking. That's always good .

I think it is great that he went to her house, this is a good idea.

I'd so love to be a fly on the wall...

I am happy the two are having a chance to meet. This is the beginning of the healing. Don't you guys think so?

Hey Y'all !! I bet Hillary and Obama are sitting in her den enjoying "cocola drinks" chatting and watching 360 and laughing and just having a big time !!

Wow, this is really exciting breaking news. And, of course, Candy is right on top it.

Can't wait to see 'WHAT' we learn in the next hour.

Thanks, Candy, for keeping your 'peeps' in the loop.

Hi Anderson and everyone! Can't believe Obama actually went to Clinton's home. He must really want those votes.

I think after Saturday both Hillary and Barack need to take at least take Sunday off.....they need a break

Hello everyone!
I'm so happy to hear that Obama and Clinton are discussing things

Obama is between a rock and a hard place...
On one hand – he probably feels that he needs her on the ticket to have any chance of winning the election.
On the other hand – she's more qualified than he is, so that probably threatens him.

Very kind of Obama to meet Hillary at her house. I hope he had something to eat before he went.

Hello bloggers! Sounds like Obama and Clinton are trying to show some party unity. Hillary's speech on Saturday should be interesting. I can't believe the media is in front of Hillary's home in DC!

Hi there,
I am not sure about her as a VP...if he picks her out of his own volition then i will have to concede...but if I were him I would never pick her.

I love the fact that the media is on the plane...so funny!

Jo Ann, He needs her now more than she needs him.

I think it's gracious of him to go to her home.

I think Obama going to her house shows that he is sincere about his respect for her and doesn't hold any grudges or have false pride

Yes guys,
I agree with you guys, I hope so! I pray......... if she would like accept vice president, I am not sure maybe I am wrong........

Like any stake out...Obama will probably slip out the back door if the press has camped out in the front yard.

I agree with David, I also wondered if Bill was in the house. Do you think Bill will have an influrence on the two of them?

Do any of you think that it was the truth, when Howard Wolfson said today, she is not after the VP slot?

I wonder if Bill is sitting in on that meeting....

I love Donna Brazile! She tells it like it is.

Obama is a class act. That is why he spoke so kindly of her the other night and why he's going to her house now. He understands the importance of doing this in a way that allows Hillary to 'save face' and still have a voice in the party.

Love David Gergan and Donna Brazil. Too fair minded , reasonable people.

I would find it hard to believe that they will live happily ever after from just one meeting.

Hillary has some pull still.

Mike, I think they both need each other.

Will Hillary's supporters continue to resist Obama if she comes out to publicly support him?

She better be on that ticket! She got nearly 50% of the support of all the Democrats.

If Obama doesn't want Hillary as VP, for party unity, Hillary will then need to announce she never wanted VP. I believe there would be a lot of mad voters otherwise.

Kim; All it shows is that he is desperate to get the votes of her supporters.

Kim, I think that is true. She can't ignore the issues that would arise if she was on the ticket. Despite her sometimes mudslinging behavior, I truly think she wants what is best for the party.

I hope that Barack Obama has Hillary Clinton to run for Vice President.

Kim,
Maybe not...... I don't know...... we will find it out soon......

I have an inkling Hillary was perhaps informed today that she would NOT be getting the VP slot, and this is the reason for Wolfson's statement.

Goodness knows. Richardson for veep, people.

I would love to be a fly on the wall in the room they are meeting in. A good jesture on his part to go there. I think they would make a good ticket and would have a good chance to beat McCain.

Ok, where are those tornadoes, more wacky weahter.

I do not think that they are talking about the VP, rather just trying to lay groundwork for her to transition.

@ Jo Ann, Obama said he would meet with Hillary at a place and time of her choosing. That is all he is doing, he is just an honorable guy.

I think the decision of VP is Obama's choice. If it's Hillary or anyone else it should be very well thought out. Down the road, hopefully, not tonight.

I think Hillary just wouldn't compliment the ticket. She'd be a great Secretary of Health or of State, or do so well in the Senate. Obama is better off choosing a national security counterpart like Jim Webb.

obama cannot win without hillary's supporters

Simple, NO Hillary...

Anderson,

No, Obama should not put Hillary on the ticket. He should be open to giving her just about any other position. But not the VP slot. This would give him the clean slate he was looking for and give Hillary motivation for campaigning for him.

It's all speculation right now. I don't think we'll get a VP announcement tonite.

Hillary can be more effective in another position than Vice President, I believe.

Yes, Hillary should be the V.P with her on the ticket , we know that Dems will vote for Obama/Clinton ticket.

The ONLY way to win Florida is with Hillary on the ticket. NOBAMA 08'

It worries me to think of Hillary as VP. I don't think it could ever work. She would be trying constantly to ram 'her way' into getting things how she wants. She would try to be president vicariously through him in whatever way she could.

Hi all, I'm also glad to see that Obama and Clinton are talking. I'm also happy to her Clinton say that the choice of VP is his and his alone.

I think if the two of them decide that it would be in the best interest of the country for her to be VP then so be it...these are two incredibly smart people...and I think in the end they will do the right thing.

Why do some people have to put the stamp of "desperation" on Obama, only because he's talking to Hillary?
I doubt he's desperate. He's smart. And he has genuine respect for her...which is why I like him.

Donna Brazile said numerous times that she would support whomever is the nominee as soon as there was one. As of tonight, Thursday, June 5th, she is still UNDECLARED. Seem contrary to her statements of party unity. Why is she still undeclared?

I think the meeting between the two is great. It is critical that if he has made his mind up that she is not the selection for VP he needs to tell Hillary right away. I feel without her as the VP his chances of winning the general election are slim.

I can say for me as a supporter of Hillary if she is not selected my vote will go for John McCain.

Hillary Clinton won't take the VP spot because if Barack loses without her, she will use that to her advantage. She will say if she was nominated, she would've beaten John McCain. Also, if she doesn't take the VP spot, she will then have more of a chance in the next presidential election.

As I see it way up here in Canuk Land–No Hilliary should not be VP-
that would be scarry.

I agree with you Jen Rose....... me too.

Jo Ann: he is the nominee, he doesn't need to come to her, she needs to come to him and many nominees would never have made such a generous gesture...

I hope Obama does not choose her as his running mate. I also hope he's careful in her house. After the bitterness she created, it would be nearly impossible to be his running mate since the president would be he one in charge, and Clinton does not seem to take to being second. We've seen what she can do when she doesn't get her way, why would we want her in the WH with so much power?

I still dont know if its a good idea to pick Hillary. She likes center stage a little too much. Plus is she going to withhold 'full' support with herself and her delegates just in case Obama slips along the way.

btw, is it a surprise to anyone that the republican party is now using (or going to use) the clinton campaigns own attacks against Obama in their own messages ?

Clinton running for vp is NOT a dream ticket. It would be a NIGHTMARE ticket. If that happens Obama woud lose my vote. I'm a white female well over 50. I do not respect or trust either clinton.

For every person that does not vote for Obama, there will be two that will. I'm so not worried about Hillary's demographic.

Obama discussing the cons of a VP slot with Hillary could be extremely awkward.

I do not want Senator Clinton on the ticket.
I want Clinton to support Obama.

Jo Ann, you comment is simply not true. It shows Obama is very respectful and genuinely appreciates Senator Clinton

As an Obama supporter, I can not imagine a more strategic partner from any political circle bringing more to the table than Hillary.

i am a HRC supporter and i still don't know if i can support obama.

Candy, doesn't hold back! Glad to hear that he is not going to be pushed into doing anything until he's ready.

So enjoyed Candy's interview with Obama. I saw it earlier. She's top notch. I'm also glad to hear his response about doing it the right way and by the process. Smart move and smart answer. It won't be something he will be answering for a while.

Anderson, Erica... really enjoy the show!

Obama has picked a committee to help him with the VP search... as some seem to have forgotten.

I don't think it would be wise for Obama to included Clinton on his ticket because it would seriously undermine his authority as the new leader of the Democratic party. I think that it would be a strong ticket; however, her being on the ticket would not reflect the mantra of change that he's running on.

I wonder how many people voted for Obama because he wasn't Hillary? Those people won't want her on the ticket.

I think it would be very bad for nominee Obama to be forced to accept Hillary Clinton, how could he be the leader of the world and be undermined by Senator Clinton

I think it would be great to have Hillary on the VP ticket but I'm wondering how much of an interference Bill would be. Maybe not such a good idea.

Obama does not have enough EXPERIENCE!!! He needs Hillary, if she's on the ticket, he has my vote. If she is not – I'll vote for McCann!!!

Obama would make a serious mistake if he put Hillary Clinton on the ticket. Change? New politics? No payoffs from lobbyists? Never!
We need the fresh start that the Obamas offer the country.
From an independent conservative supporting Obama.

I'm just not convinced about an Obama/Clinton ticket, especially since we're only 2 days past the end of the primaries. I really think the 2 of them need to take a few opportunities to keep talking. But like Mary, I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the room too.

Missy: good point. You never really hear about the VPs after the election... what do they do besides shooting their hunting mates??

Well Obama is right, I'm sure after 54 contests, they need to take a break and relook at strategies, etc. for the upcoming general election. I'll give him that.

Juliet; What has he done that is so honorable? I just can't seem to get that "you are popular enough" statement out of my mind. Would you say that was an honorable remark?

I also believe that Obama should choose Hillary as a VP. . . Or McCain should

I don't really care who gets the vp slot, it is Obama call to make that decision and I think we should be ready to accept who ever he picks.

Hi Bloggers!

Wow! A meeting tonight with Hillary–No wonder Obama didn't linger tonight after his rally in Bristow, VA. I was thinking, "Maybe he has a dinner-meeting in DC, but not that one!"

Hello, everyone!

My first blog here ever! I am heartened by the news that Senators Obama and Clinton are meeting this evening. I have been a passionate supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and I do think they could make a formidable team. Honestly, from the very beginning of the primary process, I had hoped for a dream team. Now, I had hoped it would be the other way around. But, I'm a pragmatist, and I'm willing to support an Obama-Clinton configuration. They both have such amazing strengths and could complement each other quite well. Together, they would be unbeatable!

No, Senator Obama should not ask Senator Clinton to be his Vice-President! The country has had enough of the Clintons to last the rest of our lifetimes...

Alot of people are forgetting that alot of Obama voters will NOT vote if Clinton is on the ticket. He has as many voters as she has, so it could help/harm either way. Personally, I would not vote with any Clinton on any ticket.

I'd like to see them together on the ticket. Think it would be good for the party and the country. But hope that Obama will take his time and not be seen as being affected by the pressure.

Obama's shown he's quite gracious these past few days. Starting by not taking it personally when she clearly disregarded his Tue. night nominee achievement. And now, taking the time to meet at her house. He must realize what a difficult time this is for her and he's also giving her the respect she deserves for the race she ran and her history in the party.

I hope he doesn't ask her to be his VP. She's just seems so self-centered and appears to care more about her legacy than about what is best for the country.

I believe that Hillary invited Obama to her home as an olive branch – to invite someone into your home usually seen as a sign of friendship. My only question is this: Is Bill Clinton is in the meeting room or if he's listening through the door from the next room!?

And Michelle's fist bump when Barack was about to speak in Minnesota the other night was awesome!

I don't think the VP position is a good idea!
I think to many things have been said and done for her to accept being his VP.
I also think that is going to be hard as is to unite...

Hi

My vp pick's. No, for Mrs. Clinton. First pick, Kathleen Sebelius, second pick, Jim Webb.

Obama must not pick Clinton. She does not own Democratic women; she does own permanent sky-high negatives among Independent voters. Obama needs a team player whom he actually likes.

I did not vote for Clinton. Never will. I did vote for Obama in the primary. I plan to vote for him at the general election. Unless Clinton is on the ticket. If she is, I am voting for McCain.

hi, bloggers. wow - the past three days, never a dull moment!

He really impresses me with what he is saying in the interview... he seems to have a very clear vision of what he wants to do and how he will go about it. And he already took charge of the DNC with regards to lobbyist money 48 hours after becoming the nominee.

Yes Yes Yes – this is the best idea.

My hillary supporter friends are all leaving and voting for mccain – so putting hillary on the ticket they will vote for that....

This is how to bring about UNITY.

Well, she is in a nice position to make her demands. I dont think McCain is out yet. It sure is going to be interesting to see who Obama picks...

Obama claims to be the candidate of change but if he ignores the wishes of half of the democratic primary voters and does not select Hillary to be his running mate, then it will be the "same old, same old" from a Washington politician. Come November I will be voting for Hillary whether or not she is on the ballot.

Obama is a very intelligent Presidential candidate. I will respect his decision. Personally, I like Wes Clark. I am not sure if Hillary cares more about herself or the Democratic Party. Her actions has spoken for her.

That is great interview!!!!! I love Candy Crowley, Thanks for interview with Obama. Can we give some flower to her?

The problem with Hillary being considered as Vice President is Bill Clinton. President Clinton has too much baggage that would weigh Obama's campaign down. Plus how can Obama focus on America if the media wastes time focusing attention on the Clintons in the Vice President position?
I also agree with what others have said that adding Hillary to the ticket would contradict the message of "Change".

Hillary plays well with others. I can see her being a very powerful VP, but not over doing it. She's a remarkable person. People need to give her more credit

Kim; I am not buying it. She doesn't need him. Her aspirations to be president are over.

Hey Erica! Good to see you tonight!

Anderson, tonight, Senator Obama is showing that he is not swayed by all of the Pontificating about who will be his V.P. The two people that matters Senator Obama and Senator Clinton are now meeting, let's be patient and see what happens. Good things come to those who wait.

I really only want to see Hillary on the ticket if he HAS TO have her to beat McCain. I want Senator Obama in the white house no matter what and will vote for him with or without Hillary. I feel that she and Bill would not sit quietly in the background while Obama leads this nation. I want President Obama running the show!

For the best of the democratic party and the US, we need the Dream Ticket to come a reality. Both Obama & Hillary complement themselve so well, each have what the other's lack.

I wish that we could see in November a Obama-Clinton ticket, so we can take the Republicans out of the White House

I keep hearing that Obama won't pick Hillary because he couldn't control her and Bill. If he can't handle people in his party how will he handle our enemies?

It is not wise for Obama to select Hillary as VP. It would also not be wise for Obama to select a woman other than Hillary for VP. The honor of being first female President or first female VP seems to belong to Hillary righ now. Selecting a woman other than Hillary would seem to be an insult to her and her 17,000 plus supporters.

I don't think Hillary should take the VP slot, just because she deserves better.

But on the other hand, Obama does need someone experienced by his side.

Obama and Clinton will lift us out of the argumentive world we live in. Both are committed to peace and prosperity. Such an amazing campaign platform.

Hillary still has time to convence superdelegates to switch back to her. When the tape comes out, Hillary will be the Nominee.

I really don't think that Obama should choose Clinton as his vice president because as a candidate who represents change and all that is new, picking her as his running mate would be a step backwards into the past. And isn't the past what we've been trying to separate ourselves from all along? Obama would be making a big mistake if he chose Clinton.

This is no longer the "dream team idea". It is the unity team. All the other possibilities are merely shades of mediocrity. Obama can not win without the balance of the Hillary constituency. He would be best served with Hillary as vice president. This is the first time in history that the people may well be choosing both a presidential and vice presidential candidacy.

I think the only way to actually bring the party back together is to put Clinton on the ticket, because no matter what anyone says, there is now a rift in the party and hurt feelings and I think this is one of the only ways to bring a time of healing to the party

Anderson,
Obama should be careful in making a decision to have Hillary as VEEP, not so much because she would sabotage the Obama white house policy as her husband would be a loose cannon out in public, and not answerable to the administration.

Minou, New York City-
Being on the ticket is not a given, just because of vote count. VPs have little power and influence. She should be in a prominent post in his cabinet to have exposure and power. Her supporters need to look at the big picture. Also, he needs to pick someone that shares his message (HE's the nominee!) and also someone who respects him and can work well with him (I respectfully don't think HIllary fits that mold).

Yvonne, a beautiful name–

Obama is worried. That's his job to worry. He needs to make sure that demographic will be there for him. If it's not Hillary Clinton can help him.

If Obama really does indeed want change. Picking Hillary as VP would be the worse mistake of his life period.

Should Barack Obama choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate? No, except for Dick Cheney, the position of Vice President is well-known in North America to be a generally ineffective position. Mr. Obama would be well served, as would be the nation, if she were offered the position of Secretary of State, for which I believe she does have experience and knowledge.

Obama cannot choose Hillary as vp. No republican wants Bill Clinton back in the white house. He must find a way to sway them, to convince them he can care about what matters to them. They will not be able to see him clearly with Bill Clinton's baggage.

I have say, I'm loving the way he has been handling this. With class and grace. And I do believe that Clinton will be one of Obama's biggest supporter.

Obama doesn't need her at all. If he wins, she would only undermine his presidency. She would work more against him than with him.

Sen. Clinton will retain more power and freedom to operate apart from the VP job. If Sen. Obama invites her to join the ticket, she should consider very carefully the limitations associated with the job. As a U.S. Senator from NY she has all the media exposure she could want and has the opportunity to move around and exert influence in ways the VP cannot.

Well it's not like they're gonna come out of the house holding hands singing coombaya... It's a first of many meetings. Hopefully this will end Hillary's narcicism and get her to concede. This should be about Barack, not Hillary. She should have admitted defeat a long time ago. That speech Hillary gaveTuesday night was so self-glorifying – I've lost a lot of respect for her. Barack could do way better in terms of a VP, someone less polarising

Yes, Hillary should be considered for vp. It's time for people to stop sending negative messages about Hillary, ie....hope he ate before he went.
Hillary is smart, compassionate, strong, level headed and could do any job given to her.

As a Democrat, I do not think it is constructive for us to speculate whether Obama invites Hillary onto his ticket. Although I have strongly supported Obama, I think HIllary is an amazing woman and would do superbly in any position that she gets

One would think that obama has been thinking about his vp for a long time as has hillary. he is a definate win with her on the ticket!

Maybe they can act like grown ups because many around the country aren't. This is about taking back the white house from the republicans. So here is what I would suggest. 17 million of his supporters plus 17 million of her supporters equals the Democrats kicking the Republilcans BUTT!!!!!!

Point of all of this is that he has not ruled Clinton out. From what we have seen of Obama, he does not say things just to appease people. He says what he means. So if Clinton is ont he list, then she is being evaluated the same as the others.

Anderson, are you worried Obama is meeting Hillary at her home, on her grounds, her turf?

Kim, I am not sure why you think this type of sentiment is constructive. We need a Democrat to win in November and this scenario as Senator Clinton recognizes would destroy all the causes she has championed for so many years.

Perhaps Obama can offer Hillary a cabinet position tonight. I think she just wants to know what she will be doing for the rest of her life. VP is definitely out of the question. That's not her gifting.

Yes, Bill Clinton brings baggage, but all of the Kennedys have baggage too. It's part of the package of being a public figure. After 8 years of Bush, I'd sure like to see the Bill Clinton prosperity come back again.

I am a Obama fan!
I respect Hillary as a female and as a person trying to win.
I think that a lot of her action in this election would make it extra hard for Obama to ask her to be his VP.
I do hope and wish her the best.
As for Bill, I hope she leaves him home in all her future political actions!!!

As a die hard Hillary fan who is in blog touch with many. many other die hard Hillary fans, I can suggest that many Hillary supporters do NOT want her on the ticket and many Hillary supporters do NOT want to vote for Obama. The more the press tells her supporters that they will change their minds, the more UNunified the party remains.

He shouldn't have to handle his VP that person should be his right in person, who is qualified to run the country when necessary. Hilary can't handle Bill or losing, so how can we expect her to handle our enemies?

I think it is good that Clinton and Obama are meeting. It shows that they are two Democrats working together to make put this country back on track.

Candy Crowley is so cool and funny! I was in suspense after her blog!

It was absolutely great to see the interview with Candy and Obama! Candy is one of my favorites and I'm glad she was the one that got him!

San Francisco, Ca

Mike, Syracuse
"I keep hearing that Obama won’t pick Hillary because he couldn’t control her and Bill. If he can’t handle people in his party how will he handle our enemies?"

I absolutely agree in thepry. This goes for any and all candidates. However, I do believe he can control "Billary."

How can anyone suggest that a female vice president would not be a major statement of CHANGE???

Jo Ann, a lot of people, including some of her supporters are not sure that her ambitions to be president are over... why else would she suspend her campaign instead of ending it and why then does she retain her delegates?

Anderson, can you guys discuss what position in the administration H. Clinton could be considered for beside the VP position?

I'm sure Hillary is figuring the odds of running with Obama as VP now, vs. waiting and running again in 2012 if he loses.

I think there would be a landslide with these two as the two best combination to run this country. Her experience and tenacity and his eloquent manner of confidence should convince anyone in this world of destruction, that the United States is back and we are strong!!!

lets here it for Barack

People are still talking about her experience. What experience? She is a Jr. Senator and was First Lady, not President. I just don't get it.

I really think making Hillary secretary of health and human services would be perfect for her and the country and she would be able to be much more influential and effect more powerful change than as VP. What do you think?

I feel very strongly that Hillary Clinton would be an asset to any candidate. I'm a life-long democrat, but decided that I likely would not vote in November if Obama was the presidential candidate. Should Hillary be on the ticket, it would certainly change my mind.

Rosie from Pa-
BLESS YOU!! A voice of reason is sooooo refreshing!! Let's join forces and turn this country around. America has soooo much respect to regain internationally. We can do it together!!

@ Jim – The Obama campaign has to choose the RIGHT person for the job. Whether or not it's a woman.

i can understand why hillary is not letting go that quickly, she must have been wanting to become president for a long time and when she felt it was "time" (her time), here comes obama, a newbie "stealing" her thunder. i guess she feels she has paid her dues while obama could have waited for his time.

@ Jo Ann Obama is an honorable person. He has said nothing but kind words about Hillary even when Hillary refused to acknowlegde the fact that he has secured the dem. nomination.

Nikki, very true. McCain is the only one with sufficient experience.

Anderson,
My question, how many houses or business lost or damage or killed in Iowa or other states? my thoughts and prayer with them........

It isn't up to Hillary to decide when it is her time. It is up to the American people who vote.

As a Canadian looking it in, it is really sad to hear all these people say they will not vote for Obama if he is the nominee and Clinton is not on the ticket. There are always complaints on here about the economy, the war and such but you are willing to keep things the way they are. I just don't get it but maybe it is me.

Glad they're having a meeting, but sure hope Bill isn't in the house! I don't think Sen. Obama should pick Hillary as V.P. He needs to pick a person he can work with & is comfortable with. The Clintons are arrogant and are used to getting their way – Hillary has divided this party. We don't need another wave of the Clintons in the White House.

Kim; The only chance that Hillary has of becoming president is for McCain to win so that she can run in 2012.

Juliet; We can agreee to disagree.

Obama going to Clinton's house at her invitation is as gracious as he has been for the most part during the campaign. If he doesn't want her as VP he should tell her tonight. They need to move on and talk about how together they can work together and bring party unity.

That is so scary for me!!!!!!!! Wow! most record tornadoes!!!

Hillary's experience? Not much. Subtract out the time spent campaigning (do the same for Obama, I suppose).

I was extremely dissapointed in Hillary when she had the chance to be a woman of grace and stature and bow out.....she blew it. After she had officially lost in delagates, and super delagates,-she gives a speech basically stating how great she is and how she has 18 million people behind her. It proves she cannot face facts. A president needs to be able to do that.

Does anybody else get the feeling that Obama has grown and looks and sounds more presidential even since Tuesday?

Obama picking Hillary will gain votes and lose votes. Obama not picking Hillary will do the same. He needs to run the numbers and make an objective decision. A Hillary pick will not help him with many independents, and will drive any Reps thinking of voting for Obama back to McCain.

Yay, to all those who like me are Candy lovers:) Candy is fantastic, I love watching her and she got "the interview" with Obama. Love It!!

Breaking news..picture of a house, shown over and over..Gotta love this election season. It beats the reruns on the telly, hands down.

My prayers go out to those caught in the tornadoes out in Iowa and in other states aswell.

hillary has experience and knowledge to deal with inrenational leaders. obama still needs to learn alot. he really has nothing to show he is a freshman senator

Given that Senator Obama is at Senator Clinton's home, I think that they're discussing her VP position if he wins.

Toronto, ON, Canada

As usual, Hillary wants to be in control of everything..even in control of how she loses.

I hope Obama chooses Hillary for his V.P. She is brilliant and genuine about her love and concern for this country. This campaign has shown her grit and tenacity. She will mold herself to the role of V.P. with the same flexibility and intelligence that changed her from an ultra liberal into a senator who could communicate across the aisle.

Watch out Republicans; the tide is changing. Democrates are coming together. Change will come in November. Demorcrates rule!

tornadoes are the norm in the spring for those of us who live in the heartland. i guess it's like dealing with earthquakes on the west coast or hurricanes on the east coast.

As much as I love politics, I do find it interesting how the democratic party continues to remain in the limelight even after the primary season is over. Great strategy! Not hearing as much over in the Republican camp.

I do not believe Obama can win Florida or Michigan without Hillary on the ticket, and if the truth were known her baggage is not any worse than most of those in politics, and for that matter, many of the voters.

It would be awesome if Obama let her know the deal tonight of if she really is on his 'shortlist.'

To Missy,
The American people did vote and the DNC and other party leaders stole it from her. So it's like Fla. in 2000 all over again, and now you can throw in MI.

Yep, he's not there for tea & crumpets. He's telling her to get outta dodge and that he doesn't need her supporters to beat McCain.

Honestly...I don't think Hillary would want to be second banana to anyone.

Cindy...Ga.

I really do not think she wants to be VP! I see her being Secretary of State.

Brenda, you are absolutely right! Candy rules! Very smart questions and well thought-out answers. Great interview!

Hillary will make a fabulous vp for the good of this country. If Obama picks her it will be a good thing. But he has to be careful he doesn't appear as being forced into doing so.

David Gergen just said it. Hillary for Supreme Court would be interesting at minimum, and would probably be a good spot for her.

Megan O. It's only Democratic hype that says things stay the same under McCain. McCain is a very different person than Bush, and has shown that in working in a bipartisan many in the Senate.

Supreme court appointments are not second place choices or bargaining chips. Hillary is not a superior legal mind which is needed on the court.

It's time for Hillary to get out of the limelight and admit it is over!

Megan O. , I don't get it, either. I hope by the time the election comes around, those people will have gotten their sanity back.

Yes! Brenda,
Me too. I agree with you!!!!! she is my favorite political team reporter!!!!! (Candy Crowley)

This is so funny to see the press camped out at Clintons.

Ron, don't forget in MI Obama wasn't on even on the ballot, how wrong was that?

Mechelle. We don't get hurricanes, earthquakes or tornadoes in Syracuse. Just snow. Lots, and lots, and lots of snow.

"There are always complaints on here about the economy, the war and such but you are willing to keep things the way they are."

Your right on track, Megan. Americans let their egos get in the way of their common sense and the bigger picture. That's been clear for a long time, relative to entries on this blog.

It's scary how many Obama supporters so blatantly disrespect the Clintons and downright hate them. Their politics are not very different , so I hope those Obama supporters will be mature about it in the end and do the right thing for the party and the country!

I believe the way Senator Obama has treated Senator Clinton over the past couple of days is a clear indication how he will run the White House and how we will be eventually viewed by the rest of the world.

He's a class act!!!

I must admit I too am a Candy Crowley fan.

Candy's interview with Obama was great so far. Can't wait to see the rest. She is great at what she does!

Cindy...Ga.

Jo Ann yes we can agree to disagree, would you want to see Hillary on the ticket and why?

Mike, Syracuse, NY; McCain has been at odds with Bush on many occasions and has been able to work across the aisle. That argument about McCain being another Bush only works on uninformed people.

I loved Candy Crowley's interview with Obama. It was very interesting. Her reporting always grabs people's attention (like me!! ).

How funny. They're watching the Clinton house and the meeting is over and was held somewhere else!

@ Minou – I don't at all hate her, but I'm highly disappointed in how she and her team chose to run her campaign, and in how she is now conducting herself.

Minou: You need to be speaking to Clinton supporters when you say that because the majority of Clinton supporters are saying that they don't want to vote for Barack and will vote for McCain.

I'm struck by the lack of ego displayed by Obama. His kind words for Hillary last Tuesday and the quickness of his travel to her home to meet are testaments of a man who is willing to set aside pride in order to do what needs to be done

Minou, I haven't seen much of that on this site. Also, I think it goes both ways. Both sides in to come together and realize that they are really one team.

I think Obamas meeting with Clinton tonight is about McCain and nothing more...

Alrighty then! Even though the meeting was not at her house, I still hope there's some resolution between the candidates.

Perhaps the strategy was to make the media think it was at Hillary's home in an effort to avoid them. Oh well, it was exciting while it lasted!

Have a great rest of the week, AC, Erica, AC360 staff, and bloggers.. Can't wait to see what Friday brings. Hopefully those storms stay away from St. Louis.

Jo Ann: McCain has changed tremendously in the past few month to win over the religious and conservative crowd. He's not the way he was before he started running.

I want that everyone to know that meeting with Hillary doesn't mean that Obama are going to pick her as a running mate. This moment is very critical and we all should look for the unity. However, obama would be the one making the final decision. I hope that he picks the right VP in other for the advancement of this great nation.

Julliet; No, I'd rather she wasn't on the ticket because it is below her. Either way I will not be voting for Obama as president. I can't in good conscience contribute to putting an inexperienced, unaccomplished person with poor judgment in the White House. We have one there already and the country is a mess.

I'll be on the plane tomorrow when AC360 airs, so you guys have to blog a lot so I can read it all when I land and not miss too much

Anderson, you didn't blog at all today.... but we kept quite busy among ourselves.

Great blog nicht everyone and wonderful show! Have a good night and a great weekend and I'll see you Monday.

Minou/Lana/LeeAnne. There seems to be plenty of hate both ways between Obama and Clinton supporters. I'm neither, and can't tell the difference in most of their positions. However, I'll happily accept any Hillary supporters who want to come over to the Dark Side.

Obama and Clinton had a unity meeting. Republicans, Democrats and Independents might want to have that meeting soon. Americans, that's what we are.

When I turned on Anderson Cooper tonight was surprised to hear the news of the Obama/Clinton meeting. A "dream team" comprised of the two would do SO much to bring my family and friends together, and do much to ensure a win for Democrats in Nov.

Candy, great question to Obama about Iraq! Interesting that he said he reserves the right to change his mind and to never say never. Hmmm.

Obama is wrong on Iraq!!

Cindy...Ga.

Obama just said he would not listen to the troops in Iraq or General Petreus. He would do what he thinks strategically. Obama is being naive by not listening to the people on the ground.

the second part of the obama interview really shed light on some of obama's policies and what he plans to do if elected.

If Obama selects Clinton as VP then his message of change means nothing!

Bye Anderson!

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

It was a nice coverage today – nice team work !

Good night Anderson and all! Thanks for the great conversation; See you all tomorrow!

Good Thursday evening. Good interview with Obama, Candy. I'm signing out..I'm exhausted watching that Breaking news "House" Night all...

Great show AC360 team. Goodnight everyone!
