Wouldn't Secretary of State be a wiser decision for Biden?

He will be a good choice! Of course, I don't see how anyone McBush picks will make any real difference anyway.

hmm…moderation….people can bash and claim that McCain had the questions before hand but no comments to the contrary get through?

Obama will fail without Hillary. The unity of the Democratic Party depends on her as the VP nominee.

For the love of God, every day there is new "BUZZ" on who the candidates will select for their running mates. It is almost as bad as the ever present polls out there. ANNOYING

Doesn’t matter who he chooses, I will still be writing in Hillary's name come November. I invite and encourage all my PUMA brothers and sisters who cannot fathom the ridiculousness of an Obama presidency to do the same.

DOWN WITH OBAMA AND HIS RACIST WIFE!

Biden is the best pick. I believed Obama/Clinton would have been the dream ticket, but Clinton brings too much baggage. Because if you get Hillary, you also get Bill.

Joe Biden knows how to handle the Righties, he's also very strong in foreigh affairs. With Biden, Obama can't lose!

And for you Clinton supporters, your candidate ran a bad campaign get over it and stop using scapegoats to justify your defeat. This is a critical election and we can't help votes made or not made over spite. This is ridiculous, you all are old enough to vote, so start acting like grown ups, and do the responsible thing. Vote for the candidate that supports your ideas and views.

WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE. LET HIM ATTACK MCCAIN…..

OBAMA……..08

Biden is another liberal who likes to give speeches. Birds of the same feather flock together. It is a disgrace for Democratic party.

If you want America BACK people, Obama is the key. I have been a registered Republican all my life. Now I am not so sure about the policies of the Republican Party. Too bad, but now I am going to vote for the person who is for the little people because that is what most Americans are today. Not rich and priviledged like GW Bush and McCain (who's wife by the way is a multimillionaire). I just want a politician who can relate to; which bill should I pay this week (the phone or the car payment)? Do you really think the aforementioned politians know anything about how most Americans struggle? Me, I am voting for the man who has been there, and can still remember and isn't ashamed to talk about his struggles. Come on people, THINK, make a good decision!

i am shocked people are willing to allow politics play a role in winning the white house. people are stating that they will not vote if hillary is not on the ticket….that means u will allow someone who disagrees with ur belief to continue the bush-cheney yrs. Biden is the best person on foreign policy Obama can pick.

Biden?? The plagiarist? The loud mouth? bring him on!

Being a long time democrat who has voted since President Carter's time, I find it hard to believe that I can not even force myself to vote for Obama.
I won't go into detail as to why I won't vote for him but I will give some clues;
1. Obama's voting for FISA and the allowing the telecommunications act to stay intact with added repressions on american's privacy (stamping on our 4th amendment rights, undercutting our freedoms)
2. Lack of politcal stances that one can count on. He has swung so many times in the last couple of months from saying he will do one thing and doing another. I just don't trust him.
3. His dissing of HRC and our ex-president Bill Clinton who he allowed his entire troop of followers to join in saying that he was a racist. Unbelievable lack of respect for the democrats greatest president in our lifetime.
4. DNC's rigging of having Obama nominated and I won't go into detail because Everyone knows the story.
I'll be voting for McCain because I trust him. I do not like a number of his policies because I am and have been a pretty progressive democrat all of my life. I'll tell you one thing though; I will not allow the DNC to force a candidate down my throat and then
believe that us old democrats are between a rock and a hard place and that we have no choice other than voting for Obama. I think that the DNC needs to learn a lesson and lose this election and I'll just wait until the 4 years have gone by with McCain as president and see whether the democratic party has restored themselves to some semblance of sanity. I'm not alone in these thoughts, there are many many loyal democrats in this same position that I am in. It will cost Obama plenty of votes.

All the marketing can't hide the real Barack, he's just not the man they say he is, he can wear what ever mask he wants, people have seen though him.

I can just see the smear campaign now…

Obama / Bi(n)(la)den '08

Wouldn't put it past some of the people on here.

I cant think of anyone better. And by the way shame on McCain for having cheated and lied to the nation. What A shame! pfff

Biden does not mince words or trying to be cute. He is a great choice.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

A candidate with minimal political experience and a complete lack of military experience, relying on a VP (and presumably a Sec. of Def.) with substantial foreign policy experience when making military decisions…hmmm…are we talking Bush-Cheney or Obama-Biden?

What happened to the times when Presidents, scientist and astronauts where Celebrities. Maybe we need to find those times again.

I would love to see Obama/Bidden working to bring this country back to the celebrity mode it once held.

I guess Biden is okay. He has a big mouth, but he's a decent choice for VP candidate. I guess there is no other alternative in the democratic party.

Great! Another white guy like me. Why is this country so afraid of putting a woman in a position of power. Other large countries have. Wake us America - it's 2008. Now we'll have to wait until 2012 to get Hillary in the White House.

If McCain wins this year you better bet that there will be a big push against the Clintons in 2012 and will be the first to sign up. The Clintons are hurting Obama right now along with their radical supporters. They better get there act together or this will be the end for Hillary. Obama has no control over Bill or Hillary and that is exactly why she cannot be the VP. They are both out of control.

Shame on McCain for cheating on Saturday. In addition his plagarism of the cross story is beyond comprehension.

I do hope Biden is the VP.

why i cant leave a comment on the cone of silence cnn

Ms. Vee- NJ
Biden is my choice for for OBAMA's VP. He's the Dick Chenny that every PREZ needs. An interivewer told Dick Chenney that most American people thought the war in Iraq was not necessary, he looked straight in the interviewers face and said " I don't care what the american people think" . That was OK because Chenney said it. Biden is the only other person that could do that.

Obama/Biden 08

Look for grandpa McMunster to annouce his candidate soon after Obama. McCain has no original thoughts and he's more obsessed with Obama than the media is. His commercials talk more about Obama than himself!

I'm sure that McCain will pick someone that shares his affection with ABBA and that who will have no problems dancing with him to "Dancing Queen."

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

John McCain. Turning the red states pink.

Biden is the man, I heard his debates in Des Moines, and I still think this man could debate circles around ANYONE McMuffin will choose for his VP….

Bring it on!

Obama could clone Lincoln from DNA and select him as a running mate. It still wouldn't matter.

Forget his inexperience…forget his ultra-liberal leanings; Obama does not posess the character to be President of the United States.

If McCain wins this year you better bet that there will be a big push against the Clintons in 2012 and will be the first to sign up. The Clintons are hurting Obama right now along with their radical supporters. They better get there act together or this will be the end for Hillary. Obama has no control over Bill or Hillary and that is exactly why she cannot be the VP. They are both out of control.

Those PUMA supporters are going to get a rude awakening if McCain actually wins and suddenly starts stripping our country of what few rights Bush didn't take away. I'm pretty sure HRC never came out in favor of greater tax breaks for the rich, a Supreme Court in the mold of Alito and Scalia, and a country without legal access to safe abortions.

Obama and Biden will do a great job, and will make me even prouder to be a young, educated American Soldier as opposed to an old, scared, illiterate white cracker.

Obama must be tough with these barbaric russians,Poland,Germany,and Czech Rep should be armed to the teeth NOW more than ever !! The russkies have shown their true colors,thank GOD it happened now rather than later.
And definetly bring Ukraine into NATO,furthermore Condi Rice should be invited to stay on despite having served under Bush,she´s too valuable and knowledgable to let go, Colin Powell should ber asked to return as well !!!!

Oh good, now we can add the fact that Biden BASHED OUR TROOPS right along with Kerry, Murtha, Pelosi, and some others to the campaign.

It is one thing to bash Bush, but bashing our troops and lying about them the way that Biden did is unforgivable.

The likes of Biden, Kerry, Murtha, and Pelosi need to go.

Bring on Biden. He will definitely sink Obama's ticket.

To accuse Sen McCain of cheating in the Saddelback forum by violating the cone of silence just goes to show the depths the Obamabots will sink to protect The Messiah!

If you will not take Sen McCain at his word that he did NOT violoate the "cone of silence", if you are going to call Sen. McCain a liar and cheat, the why should we take Sen. Obama at his word that he was never Muslim, that he did nothing wrong with Tony Rezko, that he never heard those inflammatory rhetoric fr Rev Wright and on and on?

It works both ways!! The fact that because Obama did poorly at that forum, his kool-aid drinking followers now want to discredit it! Obama is using gutter politics straight fr so. side of Chicago!

If there was ever a contest on intergrity and honesty, I would say McCain would win hands down.

Biden would be an excellent choice.

Wake up people. He's isn't going to pick Biden. Biden would be a bad choice. He will udoubtably put his foot in his mouth. CNN artificially generates this "speculation". Its going to be Evan Bayh. Bet on it.

No one has the b@lls to say but its clear the Clintons have prevented Obama from taking ownership of the DEM party up to this point and as far as I am concerned they are slowly killing the future of America with their selfishness and Obama is lacking is taking tough leadership decisions at the DEM Party level.
Does McCain know the difference between COURAGE and WISDOM?

Biden would be a great candidate for the Republicans.

He's corrupt and dishonest, and will seal the deal for McCain.

No one wanted Biden when he ran for President… and he dropped out.

Why would they want him now as VP?

Biden has his strengths from Obama's perspective.

Biden's run for President twice … there likely is ZERO baggage lurking with him.

A democrat would most likely succeed Biden in the Senate seat from Delaware.

Biden won't take no bull ____ t from the GOP. He'll make a good "bad" cop. That would play well in Appalachia.

Biden shores up the foriegn affairs element of the team.

Barack trusts that Biden's intentions are honorable.

That trust means that Barack can work with Biden as his final consigliere.

A good team ….

Tie in General Powell as an advisor of some sort and this is a winner from a competency perspective.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Joe Biden doesn't deliver any particular electoral state or region but should play well in Pennsylvania, Virginia and parts of Ohio.

"NEVER have I seen a more repugnant and despicable UNdemocratic group of supporters- of either party- as the Cult of nasty worshippers that Obama has inspired to support him and secure his nomination"

hey phantom of the oprah (what a clever name), sorry we finally have somebody running for office that doesn't make us want to puke. "cult of nasty worshippers", what a joke… at least we haven't made an entire coalition of anti-hillary websites like you clowns did with obama. by the way, did i mention how clever your name is??

Oh well! Another bleeding heart Democratic hypocrite that Senator Nobama has managed to play for a sucker.

Stay tuned!

What!!?? This is sure going to put a damper on all my grandpa McCain jokes…

I am so sick of the negative comments made by Hillary supporters. Do you know you're the main reason so many of us have trouble warming up to Hillary? I feel the hate in your words.

Stop degrading Obama supporters. Many of us are highly educated. I have a graduate degree, and I have been voting since 1976 so I know a thing or two, also, about American democracy. All of us are committed to making sure our country doesn't continue down the wrong path, as it has for the last eight years.

Put away your misguided feminism and vote for the good of your country.

I can't wait for him to make this pick, so that my instinct about him will be proven correct. That America's flawed election process picked the wrong nominee, and that he is not the best candidate. The only way he is getting hillary's voters is to have her as his running mate, since it doesn't appear he is going to do that, then he won't get my vote or the vote of many other hillary supporters. Good Luck cheater

Biden is a very wise choice to manage the White House under the leadership of Obama. Biden is certainly the "anti-Cheney" who holds the title of the most creepy VP in modern times. The republicans don't have a pool of VP choices that Americans feel they can trust. It's time to have an open, and friendly White House that doesn't believe "honesty is the definition of weakness" as Bush and Cheney have shown. January 2009 can't come soon enough for me, because we need to show the international community that we can be trusted, and respected. Bush has caused our friendly allies to despise America, not to mention our political adversaries.

Biden is a big blow hard….anytime you see him on TV or C-Span, he's rambling on and on, enjoying hearing himself talk. He is in love with himself and brings NOTHING to the table for Obama (except some experience which Obama lacks).

Obama is not doing so well now in the polls because people are seeing him having to handle questions and he doesn't have a script in front of him.

HE IS TOO INEXPERIENCED TO BE PRESIDENT. He will lose in November and Hitlery will run in 2012 (and bring Bill along for the ride).

no clintons=dem. party awin
clintons = lose dem. party no win

Yes we believe Obama will win. God Bless America and protect us all. God Bless Obama.
Keep on the good work Obama attack forcefully those lies about you by senator McCainflip flopper. he can't win on the issues nor can he win only about wars rumour. So, Mccain wants to play on people's mind that Obama is risky-or scary. whereas Mccainflip floper is more riskier choice than anyone in the country because he has no position.

Mccainflip flopper has too many confusing positions on anything. that is rsiky. McCainflip flopper knows how to win wars, although no known war Mccainflip flopper have won.That is rsiky. Mcflip flopper dumped his wife for a rich woman that is rsiky. Mcflip flopper have too many ties with corrupt politicians and he is part of the failed economy. That is risky. Senator Mcflip flopper voted with George Bush 95% of the time, but yet he denied when this is worst now. So telly you the truth is very risky. Haven't mention all these risky activities about Mcflip flopper , people who still want to vote for Mcflip flopper is more riskier than Mcflip flopper. He can win if you do not vote for him, so you are more riskier than Mcflip flopper if you think he will fix thing better than Bush.
_____________________________________________________

I am responding to the last article about Richardson on ease with Hillary Clinton name place on ballot.

I am surprise that so many Hillary supporters do not like Obama even as Hillary campaign for him.

Both senators' presidential platform are 95% the same. Why don't them like Obama? I got it, because he is a black mix or he is democrats and those 18 million people that voted for Hillary not are all democrats.

There is no reason not to vote for a candidate that have the same plans as your failed candidate.
So people when writting your blog I hate Obama, state your reason so we will know why.

State if you are really a democrats, if you don't like black mix male, or you just love Hillary to death.

It is easy to criticize people what they do wrong, but when the ball is in your shoes you stumble and fall. If you are so perfect you may as well run for the Office. Obama have said manytimes that he is not a perfect person and he needs your help. He wants you to beleive that this Country can be as strong as it was 8 years agon when people have enough. He wants you to beleive that we can develope new energy , new cars that use less gas, that America can lead in new 21th technologies.

BIG MISTAKE…

Most Clinton supporters will simply write her name in…

Joe would be an excellent pick for VP. He'd be an excellent pick for P over McCain.

Go get 'em!

Obama/Biden '08!!!

Please god dont let it be Hillary!!!!!!!

Biden is a good choice,…. the presidency and if not the Veep order should have been Clark, Biden, Hillary, then it was a tie between Obama and Edwards…. I hate to say it, but Edwards completely let me down……… as I am sure he did many people.

Didn't Joe Biden support the NAACP's boycott of South Carolina? I am not 100% sure it was him but if it was, I do not want a VP who supports boycotting states and people business. If he was the one that supported it then that means he only cares about 49 states. I dont know any person in Goverenment that would support boycotting a state.

Biden would be an awesome choice! Too bad Edwards messed up though…

Why isn't Obama attacking "GENERAL McCAIN" for what he is….a War lover who thinks the whole world evolves around wars. Choosing Biden and having him say "War experience doesn't make you fit to run the US economy" would go a long way.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IS NOT AN AFRICAN AMERICAN CONVENTION. IT IS A CONVENTION FOR ALL. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS BULL. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA BUT NOT BECAUSE HE IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN. HE IS TOTALLY INEXPERIENCE AND I BELIEVE HAS NOT BEEN HONEST WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. HE IS VERY BIAS AGAINST SOME WOMEN - THAT REFLECTED IN THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

SO I ENCOURAGE YOU PEOPLE TO STOP WITH THE NONSENCE.

Great choice, I think Biden's credentials on Pakistan and Afghanistan can be used very well by Obama to help his image on the 'War on Terror' and to make an argument on how well he can manage foreign relations.

I do not think that Biden is tbe best choice in Obama wants a boast on his domestic credentials. The best choice for that would have to be Richardson.

Clarkedale, AR
I think Biden will be a poor choice for Obama, the only chane Obama had to salvage this election was with Hillary. I hope Biden can get answers for Obama on why he seeked out Ayers an unrepentant terrorist for his help and accepted fund raisers from him? How can any American vote for Obama after hearing this? Ayers freely admits he wishes he had done more to kill Americans.

I THOUGHT OBAMA'S ANSWERS SATURADAY HAD A LOT OF IFS , ANDS OR BUTS -NO FOR SURES

Great news! It will take less effort for the people of Delaware to get rid of him.

If Biden is chosen as VP, this will be the only decision Obama will have made to make me think twice about voting for Nader > Obama. Biden should have BEEN the presidential candidate, not the VP contender.

I think Sen. Biden would make an excellent choice for V.P., especially when the buzz for Sen. McCain's V.P. is a governor no one has ever hear of outside of his state (Pawlenty).

Please stop the speculation CNN and report the facts. I like Biden, too but it's all just speculation.

How about opening up comments on how mccain got the questions on the forum before he got there.

How the mcbush wouldn't or couldn't answer the questions but instead told war prisioners stories. And please report on the fact that he only just added that the one about him seeing two christians at the forum at the christian forum. He never mentioned them in the same story that he has told repeatedly, how convenient.

Good! The best news since Obama decided to run for president. Joe Biden is the perfect choice and the two would seem to be well suited for these roles. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, Let's get moving!

I say biden is a good choice but me being an independent i was hoping for chuck hagel, But Biden is good!!!!! AS LONG AS OBAMA WINS!!!!! NO MCCAIN NOT NOW NOT EVER!!!!!!!!!!

I think Obama would be fool if he doesn't pick Joe Biden and Barack is no fool. He's got the foreign policy chops and he isn't boring like some of the other names floating around out there. He can also be an effective attack dog doing the more aggressive rebuttals to the Republican smear machine as well as doing well in V.P. debates. He had the funniest line of the Primary season, "noun, verb and 9/11″ and he can think quickly, if not always perfectly on his feet. He is the strongest in the field.
Little Rock, AR

Biden is a windbag whose solution to the Iraq violence is to break the country up into pieces. I think he is a poor choice and would sink the ticket .

Well if this is true, Obama has just lost a key demographic for him to win in November: women over 40 who supported Hillary will consider a choice of a white guy who received no votes as the final "slap in the face" to women, who supported Hillary's historic candidacy. If the situation were reversed and Hillary had won by only a handful of delegates, Obama had received 18 million votes, and then she selected an unknown white male as VP instead of Obama, African Americans would be in the streets protesting in Denver and the Democratic party would come apart at the seams. Women may not be in the streets in November but many won't be voting for Obama/White Guy in November either.

In my opinion Senator, Obama should pick Senator Biden,
He'll make a good Vice president, also God forbid, (my prayers is with him always) anything happen to Obama, he is ready to command. He is also strong in foreign afairs, and should shut up McCain.

Hillary would be a big mistake, I'm sorry to say that, in so many ways–one her negative is too high–two her husband(they say a president always is is president) and you can not give your opponent anything to interfere with Obama policies. –three Clinton adultery in the oval office, it will be a reminder, and some of us we don't want to be reminded, I have more but let stop there.

It would be a mistake for Obama to have a running mate more qualified for President that he is.

Sweet. Though, Obama could pick anyone and win because when he and McCain debate side by side you will see how much of a better pres. Obama will be then Grumpy McOil. The difference will be impossible to ignore and McCain can do nothing about it but lose another election!!! HA

Joe Biden would have made a great president. I think he'll make a superb VP - an anti-Cheny, if you will…

HEY, "18,000,000 plus the disenfranchised"!

Do you know how to get anything fixed in this country! … do you? no?!…

Then support someone,run for office yourself, or SHUT UP!

Complaints and endless criticisms do nothing to fix the problems we all face, unless they are coupled with possible solutions.

Think about solutions before you just idiotically pop off at the mouth!

Rose CNN–WHY is the story about McCain's deceit in the Saddleback Forum not opened up to comments????Why is the sky BLUE??? 5 Articles on Sunday Move On …..Crowley had 3 Articles or More

I would be happy with Biden. He's the only one who can, and WILL , chew McCain up and spit him out!

Why was McCain allowed to give his rehearsed, and recycled stump speech on Sat. nite, but Warren told Obama NOT to give his??? The whole thing smells…

The right choice, by my estimates.

Someone give Biden a big yellow hat….

I will not vote for Obama and Biden,I am a dem. never voted for a rep.but it looks like this time I will…MCcain o8 you have my vote and all my family and friends,I thank Texas will go for MCcain all the way

Isn't Biden one of the senators that got a sweetheart mortgage deal from Countrywide Home Loans? I would think Obama's team would pick someone "squeaky clean".

To all of you hillary fanaddicts out there, I have just one question:

You would really waste the greatest right and privelege we hold as Americans-our right to vote- on a write in for hillary and risk the republican idiot machine to stay in place just because you enjoy hearing yourselves whine about Hillary?? She lost. get over it. Be mature and use your vote properly.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You Hillary supporters better grow up and not screw this up for the rest of the country. I know it sucks to lose, but get over it.

Get behind Obama and get rid of the republicans!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden…YES WE CAN! We love you Barack. NOONE will steal this election from you….NOT THIS YEAR…NOT THIS ELECTION….YES WE CAN!

I AGREE. I'M A HILLARY SUPPORTER ALSO. NOW I SUPPORT OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. BEING STUPID ABOUT VOTING FOR MCCAIN WILL BE A BIG MISTAKE. I DON'T BELIEVE HILLARY IS GONNA PAY MY BILLS BY VOTING ANOTHER REPUBLIC IN THE OVAL HOUSE. BE SENSIBLE HILLARY SUPPORTERS, OR MAYBE YOU CAN AFFORD ANOTHER REPUBLIC PRESIDENT, I CAN'T. SO PLEASE SET ASIDE UR SELFISHNESS AND HAVE A FORGIVING HEART. OTHER PEOPLE LIVELIHOOD ARE AT STAKE.

OBAMA 2008!!!

Biden will be an excellent VP I can not wait for the convention to see a united party and to hear who are next President and Vice President will be… If anyone watch the debate (not so much of debate) but the CNN special with McCain and Obama this weekend it only make me feel better for my choice of President - Obama… McSame gets excited about the prospect of war and he sat there and stated that basically he will choose judges that will reverse Roe Vs. Wade …. wake up don't get scared into voting Repug…. to much instake! Obama & Biden 08

Biden would be a great VP as would many others. None would be as big liar as McCain, who knew questions in advance for the religious forum and implied clearly that he did not when asked. Everyone loved his short answers that his advIsors handed to him in advance! Plus he made up the cross in the dirt story. McCain is a fake! McCain is a fake Christian, McCain is a fake hero, MCCain is a fake person, MCCAIN IS A FAKE.!

I've wanted this from the beginning! He's the perfect choice!!! Even if he's taking a "strip to Georgia."

Joe Biden as VP pick is the only reason I'll vote for Obama. My first choice was Biden because of his honesty, wisdom, and voting record. Hillary would have been acceptable too, but only with Biden as VP. He won't tolerate duplicity, political pandering and even his slight tendency to deviate from the "script" is refreshing and long over due in our political system. The man is of sterling character, strength and has a grasp of foriegn affairs that is unequaled. BIDEN ALL THE WAY!

People who pretend to be Hllary supporter are really closet republicans, trying to cause uproar in democratic party. Hillary will have to realize that she LOST. So she and her big mouth Husband needs to go away forever ( take Monica too if that helps). I am tired of this couple.

Jobama

While I do like Senator Biden, this only serves to prove that you DO need at least one old white guy on your ticket to win in November. McCain will most likely have two unless Condi feels like continuing on with this administration's insanity.

All those "supposed" Clinton supports are moral hypocrites and idiots if they plan to write in Hiliary or vote McCain. If you do then I hope he wins and messes up this country some more, so I could see who you blame. Hillary would energize the Republicans and she would lose PERIOD. Her and her dirt bag husband are a black stain on the democratic party.

Also - Our founding fathers were liberals and if you dont believe me do some freaken research.

Clinton and McCain both have NO experience as commander an chief either. You dont get this until you are president.

I THINK, OBAMA HAS TO PIC UP CLINTON FORM VP.

Anyone named Joe has MY vote!

CNN, can you report more on the cheating McCain performed at Warren's forum. Can you do an inquiry to know if it is true that McCain was on a cell phone the whole time he was in his car. Was Warren involved in the cover-up (which would not be surprising) or was he really unaware McCain was not in the cone of silence. Please, some serious reporting here. We knew McCain is confused, low-road, unable to come up with any solution, but a plain liar?

Silly people Hillary will neeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr be president!!!!! Its Barack all the way babe! Mcaine aint got nothing on Obama! Aaaannnddd Biden is a great choice for Obama's Running mate.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 & 2012

I admire Senator Biden for his toughness. He will make a great VP.

Note: My fellow Obama supporters please stop agitating the Hillary supporters by saying things like, "get over it." In two weeks all the "Hillary could still get the nomination" or "Obama is just the presumptive nominee" nonsense will be over. Party unity is our goal. Leave these people alone with their short-lived delusions. They are upset, it is understandable. Concentrate on getting new voters.

Vice Presidential candidates will have no effect on this election. Democrats have a flagrantly flawed candidate and they keep looking for ways to improve his image. They need at least 10 years and some major therapy for him. Hurry up and crown him in Denver and see what will happen thereafter.

Crooksandlers, are you kidding? BARACK OBAMA 08……
INTEGRITY!
INTELLIGENCE!
HONESTY!

Mr. BO changes his 'tune' and his mind as often as Elizabeth Taylor changed husbands. Mr.BO stands for nothing except what he can pull over on the voters. Name an accomplishment. Name a position he takes on any issue. With his style he would be much more qualified to run for student body president. He scares me to death!!!

This weekend I saw Obama new TV ad and it had at the end Barrack Obama President. He thinks he won already.

Obama-Biden, sound too much like Osama-Bin Laden. Same difference. Nobama has terroist ties and Biden is a plagiarist. Go ahead Nobama, pick him. Make our day!

I like Biden and think he would be a good pick for vp overall. He would be a formidable attack dog for Obama, especially on national security. He's a sharp debater that seems to have improved on his earlier tendency to be a blowhardish wind bag. Another point in his favor that is lesser known is that he gives one of the best stump speeches around, compared to Bayh, who gives one of the worst. One could envision a 1-2 Biden-Obama rhetorical punch at the convention that would really get the emotional juices flowing for the home stretch run.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS,you are so RIGHT(NOMcSAME) this was such a sham by Rick Warren that DEVIL, But God sees all and hears all.
So just sit back and watch God work..They will all have to answer to their EVIL DURING. Just as Sen. Obama stated God is in Everything, and he will handle it just watch and see. We who knows that this is all in Gods hands, we may not call ourselves (evan-glee-shams) but they will find that God made each and everyone of us no matter what color of faith we process. I think that more people saw what a SHAM of tricknology was played on Saturday night by Rick Warren and John Mccain. But I felt the overall people in the forum was very nice and polite towards Sen. Obama.
Sen. Obama 08/16

i like biden he will be a great choice i still wish hillary was the vp choice and make biden sec of state but i am a huge fan of sen obama obama 08

Yeah… that's it!! "All the great Democratic leaders must have turned Barack Obama down." That is the LEAST INFORMED, LEAST FACTUAL STATEMENT, LEAST INTELLIGENT STATEMENT regarding Obama's VP search. Which great leaders did you specifically were you talking about?? Care to name a few, or are you just spewing lame statements with no factual evidence to back it up.

Biden is currently one of the greatest Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill… and definitely MORE experienced in foreign policy than McCain or his choice for VP EVER will be. THAT is more than likely one of the deciding factors to make Biden his VP choice.

Our nation's current foreign policy is a train wreck, thanks to GWB and gang… it's time to restore our nation's glory BACK to what it was before GWB made our foreign policy the laughing stock of the world.

None…Verb….POW. The POW pandering is beyong the pale.

Biden would be perfect! The guy is a fighter! Come on Dems, let's bring back intelligence to the White House!

I'm a republican who already voted for Barack Obama in the primaries here. BUT, if he comes out with either Hillary or Joe Biden as his running made, I am definitely jumping ship back over to McCain.

Crooksandlers, are you kidding?BARACK OBAMA 2008
INTEGRITY!
INTELLIGENCE!
HONESTY!

While leaning toward Sen. Obama as my choice in november, if he picks Joe Biden as his V.P. running mate, he will definately have my vote!

hillary who in 2012?

These die hard & bitter hanger on'ers remind me of the "clingon" ex girlfriend type who won't stop calling and/or showing up at your known hang outs even though you broke up with them months ago….

The whole world is already way beyond over it - when will you be?

I think that Joe Biden would be an excellent choice for VP.

As for Sen. McCain possibly hearing some of the questions asked at the forum on Saturday I felt like he gave some of his answers too quickly as if he knew what was going to be asked. That just screams Karl Rove!

Just like I predicted that Obama would run (successfully) for the Presidency in 2008 (and he will) after hearing him speak at the 2004 Democratic Convention….I also have predicted that Biden would be Obama's running mate.

We are ready for Change and lets face it…..Biden shows strength where Obama is perceived to be weak (and that is just the GOP and the Media talking)….and vise versa.

Obama/Biden '08

This is great news! Joe Biden is just what the ticket needs. GO OBAMA!

I would be thrilled with Biden. A Democrat who voted FOR the war in Iraq. Go, Joe, GO.

Obama could pick a ham sandwich as his running mate and I'd still vote for him over any republican.

Oh YES!!!! I love Biden!!!! Great Pick!!!! My man, Biden, doesn't take no BS, if you know what I mean. He'll run circles around McSame.

Give up HRC supporters. It's NOT going to happen. Get over it already.

Obama/Biden, 2008

Horrendous choice - NO CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.
Bill Richardson for VP or Bust!

I hope it is Biden. He won't take any of the Republican smears, lies and intimidation.

Is CNN afraid that McCain will want to have a talk with you as he does with NBC for outing him and Warren for the lie that he was in the "cone of silence"? They both broke the rules period.
Disgraceful that no comments were allowed for this blog!! Shame on you!

I like Biden, but I was hoping he would not select a member of the Senate, as the Dems will have the advantage of a majority rule in the House. I prefer a Governor, but, as long as it is not Hillary, I do not care

Joe Biden makes me want to shower in burning gasoline. Talk about the master of slime. If Obama really snubs half the voting party to pick someone other than Hillary, I will join the McCain camp and spend the balance of the season working a battleground state for him.

Plain and simple.

I think Joe Biden would be a great choice because he has foreign relations ties and he is a well known senator, Although I wish barack would pick hillary I don't think it will happen. I say OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Any Hillary supporter that won't vote for Obama yet thinks Hillary would have a chance in 2012 is dilusional. I would have voted for Hillary had she won the nomination this year.

The way she has turned her supporters into an angry mob, however, makes me realize that her whole presidency would just be about partisan anger, much like the last 10 years.

WHATEVER CHOICE OBAMA MAKE WILL BE HONORED.

CLINTON'S SUPPORTER.

I BELIEVE IN KEEPING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TOGETHER.

OBAMA HAS MY VOTE! HE IS THE BEST CHOICE!

Better be Hillary Clinton for VP, or else I am going for Mccain.

Obama/Clinton 2008……..or McCain 2008!!!!!

People like you are beyond help. There is an article on Huffington where Clinton's former chief of staff Panetta discusses how some of Hillary Clinton's supporters' sense of entitlement seems "inbred". I see what he is talking about. Joe Biden was accused of that 20 years ago. However, most of you are willing to vote for a man who cheated on and left his disable wife for a younger rich woman, and whose mother sued her disabled daughter in law for approximately $3,000.00 worth of crap. Really insightful of you.

I loooove Joe Biden, but he has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth (even though I typically agree 100% with everything he's saying). If not VP, I'd love to see him as Secretary of State.

Biden's cool…works for me!!

Good choice, hope to hear the news soon!

(:I think Obama is going to choose Clinton as his running mate:)

For the good of our Country he is a wise choice on anybody's list for the VP position. The Republicans and others should take special note of this highly qualified individual, especially in foreign affairs.

I agree that Biden is strong on foreign policy, and so would he be as Secretary of State. Imagine who you'd want for president if something happened to Obama - it's more than just foreign policy, plus he doesn't bring any battle ground states with him. Bayh may seem relatively unknown, and sort of vanilla, but they really love him in Indiana.

I am still a little bitter about the Hillary thing, but I always said if he picked Biden he could redeem himself in my eyes. Not that he cares;)

"quickly-planned strip"

I was very supportive of Joe Biden during his primary campaign. Most people just didn't respond well to how direct/blunt he is, but that is a quality I like very much. I have been hoping for weeks that Biden would be the VP. We gotta get rid of these Republican clowns in the WH and hopefully get this country turned around.

Obama needs Biden as VP. Since Obama has zero security or international experience, he needs a VP and a strong cabinet who can tell Obama what to do in crisis situations like in Russia/Georgia.

Obama needs a VP that can be his mentor and teach him how to run foreign affairs and how to protect this country.

Biden is a good pick for Obama.

Senator Biden would be a good choice for VP.

A United Democratic Party can win in November; with or without Hillary and her bigots.

Is Obama selling out to the man who said Obama is "articulate"? What an insult.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biden IS the "Straight Talk Express". That quality is what attracts some people to McCain, but Biden gives McCain a run for his money.

Biden, Biden, Biden!!!!

Oh great… Imagine what kinds of bumper stickers and slogans the ignorant and childish among Republicans will use against a ticket with the names Obama and Biden. Obama doesn't have a chance without Hillary at his side. The Dems are preparing to shoot themselves in the foot once again. If the Dems don't win this time, they should disband and form completely new parties.

I would be very happy with this! Biden is a no nonsense guy just like Barack. Plus, I would get to tell everyone I told you so since I have been saying this would be a great team since day one! : )

Good choice, but I wish that he would have tried to entice former senator, and ex-Navy SEAL (a real war hero with the congressional medal of honor to prove it)Bob Kerry out of retirement.

I'd like to see them try to swift boat him!!!

Oh,great choice.Two fools,Nobama & the liar.And you people wonder why Nobama will get smoked in November.

Biden would be an outstanding choice. Thoughtful, intelligent, willing to say what he thinks, and tremendous experience. Obama / Biden — excellent leadership for this country!

Obama, look no farther, we have your man Sen. Joe Biden. Presidential canidate in his own rights. He just didn't get out of the gate right. But the man is ooozing with experience. One that I believe
won't mine, and rather relish in doing the "down under" work that's required of a VP. This should satisfy the "Experience" part of the ticket. Although Obama can hold his own in foreign matters.

If this country put ignorant idiots back into office. We are down the tubes. Our country will have finally reached a point of being morally and socially bankrupt.

Just because SHE didn't win. Come on. You need to get over it or your just as ignorant as them.

Pittsburgh

Biden? Joe Biden? Is he still around? I thought he retired and opened up a surf shop with John Kerry.

The great plagiarist! So much for changing the direction of this country.

I think without Hillary, Obama cannot win. There was too much animosity generated by the primary process, and party unity will be essential to beat McCain. Symbolic unity is not enough to unite the party.

Please, please, Obama, we know you think you know it all, but in this case, you need to listen. We cannot afford four more years of a Republican president. McCain is a bigger threat than you realize.

Great choice - Either Biden or Richardson for strengthed foreign policy experience. Obama is so much brighter than McCain. Barack will do great in foreign policies. HE HAS IT ALL - ALL THAT IT TAKES TO BE THE BEST PRESIDENT IN MANY, MANY YEARS.

AN INSIDER TO THE OBAMA CAMP TOLD ME THAT IT WILL BE JOE BIDEN ON FRIDAY IS THE ANOUNCEMENT.

funny, no matter where they can, the libs cry 'FOUL' when obama demonstrates for the first time, in an arena where he much speak without a teleprompter, that his depth of knowledge is that of a thimble. It could never be that the media's messiah might not be as well versed as McCain - it has to be CHEATING!

Any VP is better than the we have.

He would be an an excellent choice. He has the gravitas needed and would surely wipe the floor w/ any selection made by McCain. I would have preferred Hillary at the top of the ticket w/ Obama as her # 2, but Biden is actually the most qualified of any of the also-rans, more so than Edwards, who lately has not been able to keep his pants on. There goes that Attorney General nomination.

That will be a good choice.

I am so bitter that Hillary didnt win the nomination i'll either vote for McCain or write in Hillary! BIDEN IS NOT HILLARY!!!

GET THAT SHORE BIRD INTO THE VP SLOT!!!!!!!!!!! couldnt be happier

Joe would make a phenomenal VP! With his experience and level-headedness he would bring a great balance to Obama. I hope it happens! KP in Ohio.

The great plagiarist. So much for changing directions in this country.

I still say go with Kerry…that would be awesome.

And that Forum WAS a joke, something is not right about McCain's answers. Regardless, Obama came across WAY more honest than his opponent anyway.

Excellent choice…………………………for McCain's election!

This will be find by me because will have us in another
war and with china.Biden,would make a good VP can't
go wrong.Kaine will be a choice as well,and maybe Biden
Secty of State

Joe Biden as VP would be a great (probably the best) choice for Obama to make. It's obvious that someone with his background is needed to round out the ticket so hopefully it's a "win win" situation for all of us!

what about change?? he is an old guy being in office for a long long time…

Rob

Joe Biden is perfect. great ticket!!

Biden would make a great VP. He and Obama have good chemistry. Biden helps Obama with foreign policy and national security creds. Good choice and sure winner!

This Would Be A Great Choice And Be A Sure Victory Come November!

I like Biden. He's sharp, unafraid to speak his mind, and when it comes to foreign policy, he knows what he's talking about.

" Rudy Giuliani. There's only three things he mentions in a sentence — a noun, a verb, and 9/11. "

Dems '08

I am one of those people that had Biden for a first choice for Pres.but never an Obama no matter who he picks. We need a Biden on both tickets. But Obama won't pick him because I don't believe that Biden will be a "YES man" and bow down to Obama. What he wants is someone that won't rock is ego or call him down when needed. And what America needs if he is elected is someone that can keep a thumb on him but it will never happen.

I love how Obama is all about change, but is considering bringing in one of the oldest career politicians as his wing man. Hypocrit?

I THINK OBAMA SHOULD CONSIDER BIDEN AS HIS VP .
MACAIN THINK GOING TO WAR TO KILL PEOPLE WILL SOLVE
PROBLEMS AROUND THE WORLD. BUSH & MACIAN HAS MESS
UP THIS COUNTRY AND ONLY OBAMA WILL BRING CHANGE TO
THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.

So, Erin…In fact and deed, you'll be voting for McCain with your write in ballot for Sen. Clinton.

Love Biden! He doesn't take any crap from conservatives. During the Hill hearing years ago, he told Orin Hatch that he would allow just one more question then he was going to "shut him off". The way he said it through clinched teeth - just what we need in this country to tell the Republicans that they've had 14 years of controll and have messed it up big time…time for the Democrats to take over with a veto proof majority and clean house and get this country back to where it should be!

NEWS BULLENTIN FOR HILLARY SUPPORTERS !!!!!

This is the best choice for you guys because if Barack wins and wins again in 2012 Joe Biden willl be 76 yrs old and will mostlikely not run for president at that age giving Hillary a clear shot at 68yrs old which is younger than McCain. !!!!

Hey Erin…Go ahead and write in Hillary for President. You'll just get McCain you fool.

Biden is a good choice for VP. Also, I agree with Abby, after watching the forum (before even knowing that McCain had been late) I wondered if he had overheard Obama. Especially when he did not even think about his answer and yelled General Petraeus. Also, when discussing abortions he wanted to talk about the judges. I feel he and his advisors cheated. Wouldn't that be a surprise!

This guy seems to know allot and even thought about supporting him but I almost thought that he was kind of a racist. I

I like Biden. I hope he chooses him as the VP. Good sharp personality contrast between Obama and Biden. Yet same basic ideals. Should strike the right balance.

I'm still saying Evan Bayh.

Senator Biden won't appease the Hillary supporters and Delaware was already in the Democratic column so not a lot would be gained from this pick. Good man though. Anxious to see who the Dems do choose and then who the Repubs check-mate with. Getting down to the nitty-gritty.

No No No!!!! Take Kaine.
Please!

McCain/08

Someone has to make BO look capable.

Hillary has way more foreign war experience. she brokered peace treaties and made countires sign terms of surrender. She has served the nation on the battlefronts and survive Yugolavia. She is the Winston Churchill and Mikail Gorbachev of our era…

My pick for Obama's VP would be Mr Richardson from New Mexico. I really think this would be his best choice. We (Democrats) have got to ensure a win in November (We won in 2000 and 2004). We must figure out where the Republicans are going to cheat this time around and try to stop them.

If anyone thinks that Hillary has a snowballs chance in November to win the presidential election, I think you'll be sadly disappointed.

There is no way that she'll win the general election…there are just too many strong emotions people have AGAINST her.

If folks want this country to remain on the same track as in the last 8 years…then so be it.

NO HILLARY

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Joe all the way.
