To Chris, NJ; Congress was controlled by repubs for six years of this administration and did every thing good old George ask them for including invading a country that was no threat to us . But has cost us over 4100 troops and trillions of dollars.And the master mind of 9-11 is still at large,but Bin-Laden does not have oil right.I can still see Bush standing at ground zero and telling Bin-Laden we will get you and yelling do you hear me.Now John mcBush says he knows how to get Bin-Laden , but why has he not shared his knowledge with the troops so we could have gotten him?John McBush just more of Bush. OBAMA
Connie from Indiana

As a Hillary Democrat, I sure would like to see him select this woman. Then, Hillary ought to team with Michael Bloomberg on an independent ticket….call it the dream ticket. Since Obama was voting "present" just 4 years ago in the Illinois state legislature and Caroline has diddly doo experience, this is Saturday Night Live folks. Oh, this party has become a joke and dissed Hillary who would have brought victory.

A Kennedy is better than a Clinton any day of the week. Since she shared Sen. Obama's view on the Iraq war, she seems like a logical choice for the VP. I like Joe Biden, but I believe he will serve better as Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense. Obama-Kennedy has a real good ring to it.

Very qualified..Made it thru Kindergarten with straight As!

An inexperienced and naive candidate picking a running mate who is even more so.

Democrats, you still have time to correct this error and nominate Hillary! Don't let the Dean, Pelosi, Reid Troika dictate your choices!

i wish there was more coverage of Chet Edwards - i like that guy. Hagel, Sebelius, Richardson, Clark are all great choices.

Thats a nice option. So I have no updated my list for vice president candidates. With Kennedy in the mix my top choices are now..

1. Clark
2. Kennedy
3. Biden
4. Baye
5. Sebelius
6. Richardson
7. Clinton
8. Webb

Any of these and we guarantee a win in November.

I second the motion: Kennedy, kerry or Al Gore.

If this country can elect Ronald Regan President and look back on his 8 years with awe, Why can't we realize that the President and Vice president are there to give us hope and that THEY have the Technical and political staffs to do the grunt work of formulatting policy decisions and legislation.

I for one agee that this ticket while not techinaclly deep has the chance to appeal to our hopes and dreams of a better country and a better life.

While they are younger than me, I still remember how I felt in November 1963 and how I dealt with my deployment to Vietnam in 1972.

For me this is a win win ticket that overcomes a lot of the bitter infighting of the primaries.

Guess I already voted, and the convention hasn't haqppened yet.

MICHEAL MOOR IS AN IDIOT! HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING. JUST LOOK AT HIS FACE! WHAT AN IDIOT AND HE HAS NO BRAIN. I SUGGEST HE SHOULD BE SENT TO AFFRICA AND LIVE WITH THOSE REBELS THEN HE WOULD APPRECIATE WHAT HE HAS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.

It better be Hillary or there will be alot of us voting for McCain. I would only vote for Obama if Hillary is on the ticket.

The real question is how many Obama supporters would end their support if he does go with Hill/Bill?

Doing this would really show his judgment to lead. hahahaha, oh how the left has picked a winner again.

I love the fact that Michael Moore in one phrase sums up the ignorance of the liberals. "wow, that sounds cool"

actually, i would like to tank him, after all, if Obama makes his pick based on being cool, it will make it that much easier for McCain

And McCain can counter with Jesus. Keep Moore and Roseanne away from news micophones. Gad!! They both belong wrapped in white jackets.

Would that be "inexperienced and inexperienceder"…..what qualifies her to be anything? Her name? What has this country come to!

C H E L S E A—–C L I N T O N—-4—V P

What people are forgetting is that the sole reason why Caroline Kennedy is well respected, unlike her uncle Ted, is because she stays out of politics. She advocates causes and yes she had early on come out and voiced support for Obama but throughout most of her life Caroline Kennedy has been apolitical and that will all change once she decides to run for office. Her family will be held to closer scrutiny and there won't be a think they could do about it.

my comment did not go through.

I'd support Caroline anyday. Who needs "experience"? Bush has experience. Do we want him to be President still?
I think experience is overrated. Obama will water his message of change down if he pays too much attention to the experience claim. Why did Schwarzenegger win California when he had experience as an actor?
Obama does not need a white male near retirement age to bring about change. I say that as a white male tired of seeing the same old people ascend to the office of president.

NO CLINTON!

OBAMA/KENNEDY 2008.

THE DAUGHTER OF THE GREAT JFK AS OBAMA'S VP?

THAT'S A WINNING TICKET.

what a dumb idea, moore needs to stick his nose out of big decisions like this.
i was never for it before, but now i really hope he picks hillary. it will excite 18 millino people and he will get the attack dogs that he needs since its not in his DNA to attack hard.

Get over yourself Susan, Hillary is backing Obama. it is time for the "Shillaries" to do so also. Kennedy would be a great choice and so would an individual with foreign policy experience, which i think Obama could benefit from, either way Obama should be our next President.

Chris, you must be kidding! Are you unaware of all the signing statements from this president? King George has made the Senate with its huge majority of 1 impotent (filibusters have taken care of the rest). If you have enjoyed the past 8 years of hell, vote for McCain who is more Bush with a memory deficit and a bad temper.

How far is Obama wiling to go to make himself into a Kennedy? Seems like he is trying to buy the reputation he has not, or cannot, earn for himself! Go Obama!

Biden or Kennedy, doesn't matter, only one name matters for him to WIN, that is Clinton. 18 million voters can't be wrong, and make no mistake will support McCain if Hillary is not on the ticket.

Its not going to happen. For those that call Obama an elitest- I not sure you are either very wealth or to put it politely easily fooled.

Obama has a house- McCain has 9 or 10. Obama raised by his mother and grandparents. McCain- Son of an Admiral (comparable to a Sr. Exec at a major corp) Obama is a family man. McCain divorced his first wife who waited for him as a POW. Got the Blonde chick with money.

Lets talk about values.

I'd love that ticket! And, note to Susan, there are A LOT of us who wont vote for *any* ticket with Hillary on it. In fact, if I lived in NY, I would vote against her there. I'm sick to death of the Clinton's and their Byzantine plots, their divisive politics, their crookedness, and all of those scandles! The Cltinon's are about the closest thing we have to Bush and he has been an absolute disaster! Grow up! She lost for good reason. As for those "18 million votes", at least 1/3 of them were Republican's, bent on mischief. Most of the rest of her primary voters have gotten over it and are supporting Obama. The only people left squawking are a few tired old feminist nutjobs like you. If you're going to commit suicide and vote for McCain, fine! Do it, but please just shut up and leave the rest of us out of your skreeds.

Another feel good moment as a blast from the past. How do you Dems dream this "stuff" up.

Are we filming a movie, or trying to pick the best leaders for the world??

Caroline Kennedy is great, but I want a VP with something other than a name.

Anyone who thinks this country is on the wrong track AND plans of voting for McCain is out of their mind.

I think Barack will make the smart choice he feels will win. I don't think Hillary should be VP, I think she would be a great Secretary of State, she is strong and needs to be highly visable. I think Joe Biden should be Secretary of Defense. The VP should be somebody, that will be loyal to Barack and has his best interest at heart, not their on ambitions, which is why it can't be Hillary. The person should be ready to be President, must be 1000% with Barack on his plans to change Government In Washington and bring the war to a responsible end. I'm sure Barack knows who that person is, so let's just wait for the text or email from him.

This will be a great thing. It will help bring more people to the polls. I dont care what you say. Everyones minds are already made up, and this will encourage lazy voters to get to the polls.

then -anyone can be VP! What is wrong with some people? did they lose the common sense?

That would be a horrible idea. Put a VP canidate with no experience other than being a Kennedy on a ticket with Obama who has already been relentlessly criticized for not having enough experience. That decision would be the equivalent of Obama shooting himself in the foot. He needs to choose somebody that can stand up to the right wing on foreign policy issues. Biden would be a terrific pick. Even though he voted for the Iraq war, he has been a vocal critic of the war strategy and in my opinion is very knowledgeable about foreign affairs.

Susan, you have a choice of either not voting or voting for someone other than Barack Obama. But the consequences of doing either of those will be yours to live with. What is it about Hillary supporters that make them so inflexible and willing to work with others? So sad.

We don't need another Cheney. I am sick of the people helping to choose the VP thinking so highly of themselves that they think they are the best choice. kennedy brings nothing at all to getting Obama elected and nothing at all in the way of experience.

CNN WHY MY COMMENT STILL AWAITING MODERATION WHEN IT HAS BEEN POSTED AT 10:50 AM. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME?
PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW IS THERE IS A PROBLEM

How to lose a Presidential Election. By Barack Obama. 1. Be the most liberal senator with no record to run on. 2. Cry that McCain won't play nice. 3. Nominate a kook like Kennedy that my have less experience (if thats possible) than you. Snatching defeat from the mouth of victory!!

No thanks. We need someone with experience in there

OBAMA 08!

Do people really listen to this loon?

Steve, the comment that Obama would be the one with the experience on his own ticket…made me laugh; perfectly phrased!!

Paris as Energy Secretary
Cloney as Defence Secretary
Madonna as Secretary of State
Rosanne as Attorney General
etc.
etc.
etc..

"her on name for the position" proof read your articles….

This is just dumb. Together Carolyn and Obama would represent the "hype" ticket. All hype with Obama as the celeb and Carolyn's famous last name. They will lose for sure in the fall.

What is Michael Moore's agenda? Mccain wins so he can make another movie or write a book.

I still think Wesley Clark is the right choice. He has all the right credentials and probably one of the few military leaders ever to conduct a war (Kosovo) that yielded not one American casualty.

That's a whoooole lot better than the current wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. I would love to see him take over and bring those two conflicts to resolution.

Plus his military record blows McCain's out of the water and as that's the basis of McCain's platform, he won't stand a chance.

Obama/Clark '08

I recommend that Obama pick Gary Coleman as his running mate. He at least has some political experience; he ran for governor of California.

I have great respect and admiration for Caroline Kennedy but I don't think Senator Obama will select her. I think he'll use her when he gets elected as President. I believe Senator(s) Biden, Kaine and Bayh has a better chance. I feel Caroline Kennedy has done outstanding work in the background.

Obama for President.

All right!!! I'm back with a vengeance!! Now I can chill and go at it again….so what's going on??

Caroline Kennedy as V.P?? Simple answer, I doubt it. Looks we'll find out later on…

I think Caroline Kennedy would be great in an Obama Administration but not as VP.

What Obama needs is HILLARY CLINTON.

So much for Obama supporters questioning Hillary's experience. Ha, it seems to be OK when the shoe is on the other foot though. I used to like the Kennedys but their blatant and foolish support of Obama shows that they really aren't very smart.

Wow.

If Caroline Kennedy is chosen over Hillary, Obama can kiss all of the Hillary supports good bye.

now this is a dream ticket !

HILLARY SHOULD BE PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAROLINE AND OBAMA SHOULD GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a joke!

Who ever Obama pick for VP will be fine with me, as long as he pick Hillary (for all those who love Hillary) for Secretary of Defense seeing how she already knows what sniper fire sound like.

Go Bama

You have got to be kidding!!! She is a nice person who has done a lot of good things, but vice president?? No Way!!

My God, hasn't Obama milked this "Camelot" thing to death already. Obama, no matter who much he wants it, IS NOT AND WILL NEVER BE another JFK.

Deal with it.

Micheal Moore is amazing, just look at him, his picture is right next to the word Liberal Democrat in Webster's dictionary. Never before has a man's image been able to describe something so perfectly, all you have to do is look at Micheal Moore to know exactly what liberal Democrat means.

Perfect! Two unqualified nitwits for the price of one!!

rayster August 20th, 2008 11:05 am ET

And experience with Bushy has done so much good for the good old USA right? You jerks that just run everything down and sit and cherp away your crap are the real problem in the country. No brains get you and your comments and the country into deeper holes of no respect around the world so keep it up you IDIOTS

To Rayster,

Wow, like your toxic rant in the above post helps dig this country out of the "holes around the world" as you put it. I especially like how you call people exercising their first amendment right to free speech idots while spewing your own crap. You really have a grasp on what makes this country run. Perhaps you should keep your mouth shut lest you prove yourself an idiot.

This is sweetly sentimental, but Obama best focus on stronger attributes in selecting a running mate. A solid military background and respect that crosses political party lines would be a brilliant pick. Alas Colin Powell won't accept.

If he wish to win, he'd better swallow his huge ego and pick Hillary. I have a feeling that he's going to lose by an landslide. he make good speeches,but seem unsure of himself when dealing one-on-one.

Do all the Hillary supporters not believe that there would also be a backlash against Hillary if she was 'somehow' nominated over Obama, after all of this? Some Obama voters will not vote for her after something like that happening this late in the process, some democratic voters (regardless of who they supported) will not vote democratic because of this being a sign of even worse organization and unity within the party. Do you not think Republicans would love that big of a shakeup and controversy so close to November, and look at as helping them even more?

Ok, first of all all you people saying "defend this one obamabots", this did not come from the Obama campaign. I swear, half the people who post do not even read the actual article. Now to comment. Caroline Kennedy does not have what Obama needs for VP.

Caroline Kennedy, Someone New on the scene and addresses Change… Someone lots of people know and admire… Obama can surrond himself with the Best of All worlds Sec.State, Defense etc.
WOW, Love it… Now all I need is for Colin Powell to Endorse Obama!!!!

So…Michael Moore made a political suggestion…and CNN reported it……….. (infinite elipses). What is goign on here? Obama doesn't care was Michael Moore has to say! And why are you all debating the viability of an Obama/Kennedy ticket? He's not picking her! Move on.

Obama '08

Al Gore period.

Oh, barf!! Caroline Kennedy is no more qualified to be VP than Obama is qualified to be President. What an incredibly stupid idea.

Maybe he should pick John Edwards who keeps cheating on his sick wife, that should get him the women vote. Hillary is the only one who could possibly save his campaign.

To "Truth" at August 20th, 2008 10:28 am ET:

"But we are going to have a hard enough time getting the uneducated and afraid gun clingers to vote for one enlightened person on the ticket."

Really? Really. Uneducated and afraid gun clingers. And you're calling Obama enlightened? Is that really who you were referring to? I suppose you think enlightenment is fanatic socialism, and anyone who wants to stick to the things that made America strong and free in the first place and avoid the very ideas that have weakened us in the past few decades, is uneducated.

Perhaps you should turn off the television and read a little history yourself, instead of spouting off nice-sounding candy-coated bs that never works. It kills me that people believe a politician talking about hope and change. That's as old as my great-grandmother.

I suppose you agree with Obama calling a significant portion of American citizens bitter, clinging to religion and guns. Excuse me for cherishing ALL of my rights and using my brain.

Afraid of Obama? No. I just know better.

Oh yeah, good choice . . . she ranks just slightly above Gumby.

Hey Jill, We don't have to justify it. It was Moore corresponding with Caroline Kennedy. No one said she was even considered. Nice try though. You have learned well from Sith Rove. Try as you might. The dark side will lose this time.

No Hillary on the ticket!!!!! We are tired of the ols threats & wil not cave into them. So go vote for McCain & shut up!!!!

Talk about no experience!

McCain would have a field day with this one.

Two neophytes. Hey, guys, it's a big bad world out there, in case you're so centered on your egos that you haven't noticed.

Why is anyone taking this idea seriously? It's a suggestion from a strong-willed purveyor of cinematic essays. He has no standing within the party and no relation to the campaign.

Kennedy would be the only possible VP selection who has less experience than Obama does.

"What did JFK actually accomplish? Not much. "

Ever hear of the Cuban missile crisis?

I suppose another example of Democrats being "weak on defense", eh?

What a terrible choice! We don't need someone with a pretty face and zero expereince! It doesn't matter if she 'spoke out against the war' - I did that too, would I make a good VP candidate?
Come ON.
But then again, look who this suggestion is coming from - why do people still listen to Michael Moore?

Caroline Kennedy is wonderful, but she would not be a good VP, simply because she has not been involved in politics.

I trust Sen. Obama will choose wisely. And I will support whomever he chooses.

Can the "Hillary or McCain" Republican-Rush-the-vote-people stop already! We are not stupid, we know who you are!

TO MCCAIN SUPPORTERS:

HOW DOES MCCAIN PLAN TO PAY OFF THE NATIONAL DEBT WHILE GIVING US ALL TAX BREAKS?

HOW DOES HE PLAN TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE WARS? WE ARE ALREADY IN DEBT TO …….. CHINA………..SAUDI ARABIA………AND DUBAI???

HOW DOES MCCAIN PLAN ON CREATING JOBS WHEN UNDER BUSH/CHENEY 7% OF AMERICANS HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS?

HOW DOES MCCAIN PLAN ON UNITING OUR NATION, WHEN HE IS SPEWING DIVISION?

HOW DOES MCCAIN PLAN ON LOWERING THE PRICE OF OIL, WHEN EVEN OFFSHORE DRILLING WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR 5 OR 10 YEARS????

MCCAIN= MORE OF THE SAME!

I think we need more articles about Obama's vp.

Totally Bad idea. McCain will kill her with all the inexperience garbage. Won't work. Nothing personally against her but she is not READY FOR PRIME-TIME.

People stop believing the hype!! Don't buy into everything you think somebody is trying to sell. We are being thrown off about who it really is. Obama has appeared with many people. I think it will be Biden!!

What's the goal here? Isn't it to get a Democratic Pres?

Then Obama needs to choose someone who can get the votes,
and HILLARY is a proven candidate. Otherwise, it'll go to McCain.
SHE beat him… especially if they counted the Fla and MI votes.

No Obama without Hillary.

I'm sick of Hillary suporters threatening not to vote for Obama if he doesn't pick her. That behavior is so childish! They clearly are the whiners! They need to stay focused on what the real issue are.

Wait…here's more silly news to report…

George Soros just asked the Obama campaign to nominate Bruce Springsteen!

Come on, CNN! For crying out loud…stop trying to make news where none exists!

BRILLANT! - the point is whom better to listen to the ignored needs and desires of our country than the daughter of the most BRILLANT political mind of our times.

The key word there is 'listen' not 'talk' and all Obama has done is 'talk' thus one of the reasons Hillary caught fire from the moment that'3am' commercial was released and cleaned his primary clock bucking her own Washington D.C OLD CRONNIE Headwinds all the way…yet her FOCUS on the needs of American's of all backgrounds was the GOLDEN BEBE that started Obama's decline.

PLEASE LISTEN TO US..Michael Moore, Al Gore and John Kerry were right, and we don't have to live thru 'Groundhog' Day having another inexperienced President teamed with a experienced attack dog.

Sherry, Atlanta August 20th, 2008 10:45 am ET

AMERICA HAS HAD ENOUGH 'IGNORANCE' IN THE WHITE HOUSE. . .JUST LOOK AT THE RESULTS!

You may want to do your research. the economic situation is the fault of congress as the president has no real control over how the economy is run. You can blame foreign policy mistakes on Bush, but even Obama gave him credit for what he's done for africa so Bush wasn't a TOTAL failure.

If you want change in the economy than you have to oust pelosi and the democrats from congress. If you want change in foreign policy than you vote Obama, but his change would be "talking" to our enemies but I'd love to see him trying to use his arsenal of reason and logic on a terrorist.. It'd be like talking to a 1 ton person about how to make tofu…

Moore might be a genius after all…

LOL… that would be good

Just what we need another Kennedy in the spotlight. Big head Ted will never admit to drowning that poor girl and then leaving her.

That is the DUMBEST VP IDEA…EVER!!!!!!!!

"You know what I find funny about these polls is that I never see poll workers in the black Neighborhood. I do not see the colleges polled ."

Is there a need? As if those who blindly vote Democrat and would vote for Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, and Lenin if they had a little d next to their name need to be asked who they will be supporting.

Sheep also say Bahhhh, well this year they say o-bahhhhh,ma.

Oh yes, and please choose Biden, who basically called him a "good negro" when he said he was "clean and articulate" last year. Oh please, please, please with sugar and cream on top! lmao This guy is done. Why don't you people wake up. McCain will serve one term and then we can get back to the business of running this country and Obama can get back to being the pawn of Chicago thugs.

Susan, give the Obama/Hillary a break. No Hillary on that ticket, it will never work. So, don't vote for him that is your choice to make.

well, we should do everything Michael Moore suggests …

Sure! The only person less qualified than Obama! It's a perfect choice!!

That was my choice when she first came out to support him. I'd vote for that ticket over McCain and anyone he picked. I think she may well have an insight to the political world many politicians will never have. That alone won't make her a good VP candidate but then again we run 4 to 8 years and no one is ever really ready to be the President or VP so why not go with a rookie as VP because no matter what the President will be a rookie and we've all seen what happens when a rookie picks a veteran VP… No one really believes W makes all of his own decisions do they.

Obama does have sound judgment. All he needs is the spine to stand by his own judgments!!

Mean no slight to Caroline, Moore, as usual, is ridiculous.

I keep seeing if it is not Hillary I will not vote for Obama. Ok vote for McCain be done with it. Even Hillary has said her supporters should not do that. There are some bitter, hateful people out there. Vote for McCain, PLEASE<<<<<<<<<you were not a good democrat in the first place.

William in Alabama,

Why should we listen to your advice? You don't like our choice, but we're supposed to like yours? I hate Hillary just as much as you hate Obama. So if you don't want to vote for him, vote for McCain, but stop trying to push a selfish backstabber on the rest of us.

I think she would not win as much as people say she would, if that were true, she would have won the primaries. She didn't, and that was a very good thing for America.

Stupid idea. Obama is getting beat up in the due to his foreign policy experience. Caroline Kennedy wouldn't bring anything to the table to shore up that weak spot.
Obama is a smart guy, so I highly doubt that he would even consider taking VP nomination advice from Michael Moore in the first place.

Oh No! I know she would have won had she of been in Hillary's spot. Caroline - like her brother, father, and mother are too precious. Let her raise her children - any of them could win anything and can accomplish anything from the sidelines. Preserve their character's and we'll see how things are when her children grow.

I think Carolyn Kennedy is a great person, but not VP material.To all those who say they supported Hillary and will vote for McBush, I am so sorry you have put pride before trying to get us on the right track.John McBush has the very same policies as the current administration,he lies like they do, deceives as they do and seems hell bent on getting us in another war in addition to staying in the two we are all ready in.If you think McBush will not raise taxes you had better think again. OBAMA 08

And experience with Bushy has done so much good for the good old USA right? You jerks that just run everything down and sit and cherp away your crap are the real problem in the country. No brains get you and your comments and the country into deeper holes of no respect around the world so keep it up you IDIOTS

A president like your father? You mean a lying, cheating, womanizing. muderous doublecrosser? Oh boy, that's exactly what this country needs!

That makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever.

Mike Moron is the same idiot who made that silly movie to gain fame and money.

He stoops so low to earn TV slot, that his acts divide the nation.
Is he really American ?

He could pick Christ who hung and died on the cross at this point and he's still going to lose. Why doesn't he just choose himself as VP so nobody else has to get hurt when McCain beats that butt in a few weeks.

How about Obama and Oprah?

While Caroline may know more about politics than B.O. the freshman flip-flopper, she is not fit to be the veep. No experience.

Hillary '12

I'd vote for them. Anyone but the person my party has given us…

Nothing against her but this will not happen. Obama will select somebody with extensive foreign affairs/defense background.

Nice thought, but too dangerous for Obama to deviate from the sterotype candidate. Of course, the liberals would love this; but not yet; not yet.

She'd be great. And she doesn't have sky high negatives and a low rate of return like Hillary Clinton.

1. I can't believe I have to tell people who are 65 years old to grow up. Your candidate lost. Get over it! If you are a Democrat, get behind our candidate, if you're not, stop pretending you are.

2. I will no longer tolerate people calling me a "bot" because I support Obama. I've been volunteering for him for 18 months. I've spend close to a 1000 hours of my free time on this campaign. Do you people think I would spend that much time on an "empty suit"? I suggest you shut up before your whining further degrades this great country.

I like you Mike, but I have to disagree on this one. I think most voters understand that the VP could end up being president if anything happns to the guy at the top of the ticket. I like Caroline Kennedy, but I'm not at all sure that she is ready to be president. If people have misgivings about Obama's lack of experience, then they will have serous doubts about Caroline. As far as I know, she has never held any political office. Choosing her would hand the Republicans a huge stick to attck the Dems with- lack of experience. Plus, she kind of comes across as rather meek, which is generally not a desirable quality in a VP.

Then again, Obama does have a very effective response to the "lack of experience" argument- Look at what experience has gotten us- we need a change in Washington and a different kind of experience.

Caroline is a good thought from a sentimental standpoint, but I think most voters are too practical to get on board with that.

I think he should pick a man. After all, we get two men to choose from for president AGAIN; why not add two more men to the tickets?

What's important in a country that's 51% female is that men are always the leaders. 100% of the time.

Change we can believe in.

Oh good grief. What qualifications does she have? She is not popular with me.

Michael Moore can be an annoying idiot at times.

LOVE IT… BIDEN FOR SEC OF STATE

What about Michelle Obama for vice president. She loves America and is so proud of it.

Caroline Kennedy for VP? You've got to be kidding! Get someone with at least a hint of policy experience to backup Obama. Bill Richardson has a lot of foreign policy experience plus he's held senior level posts in government in the past. He'd make a great VP.

I find it surprising that Michael Moore, who I am a fan of, still touts Obama's vote against the war like a badge of honor. He has switched on every position that the far left has supported him on and yet they still sing his praises. Mr. Moore, for someone who claims to tell it like it is…admit your candidate has moved on every position you and his supporters have used to not support the more experienced candidate, Hillary. He says and does what he thinks will get him elected and that is why I will not vote this election year.

Well she heads the VP search team, so why not pick herself. So lame it's not funny.

Yes… from the scuttlebutt I hear, Obama is in trouble. Why isn't he
pulling mies ahead of McCain? That's NOT a Hawaiian suntan
he sports.

Caroline WHO???
Perfect choice!

Why not look at Colin Powell, a respected person with enormous foreign policy experience and respect internationally.

Go ahead! Pick someone even LESS experienced than the candidate himself. This has become SO laughable!

I hope Obama chose Caroline Kennedy she is great Obama poll would go up if he chose her.

Obama and Caroline 08

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! Mr. "Experience" paying back a political debt. Too funny and way too tragic. This man should not be president of a car dealership, much less America. Two and one half months to go and already the insanity strikes. And you Obmatrons are worried because McCain is too old. You are never too young to be totally stupid. Too funny!

Sounds good to me.
Anybody but HIllary!!!

Not gonna happen.

Why does anyone take a propagandist like Michael Moore seriously?

CNN why are you reporting this as it is not news; the polls are too close for this BS … love the Kennedys but this will not happen - Obama will choose wisely and supporters we have to back him like we never had before…. old bias, and the unintelligent folks needs to be educated…. they need to know they should not FEAR Obama …. Look we can not sustain another four years of Bush policies and McCain is one in the same…. Obama 08 and when you feel that the scare tactics are working remember this one thing

F - False
E - Evidence
A - Appearing
R - Real

Have no fear and do the right thing…. Obama 08

and then Obama says he is distancing himself from Washington.

It will be difficult for him to justify this judgement.

Fred … asking about JFK's accomplishments.

Have you heard of the Peace Corp? How about our modern day space program? Apparently, not!

I don't think Caroline would be an appropriate choice for VP, but your ignorance doesn't diminish JFK's accomplishments!

It's never a good idea to take political advice from Michael Moore. This man hates everything America stands for.

GREAT………two people & no experience! Do all libs think this is merely a popularity contest? We do have a country to run here!

Caroline does not have any political experience. Just because her Dad was President does make her fit material for being a VP. I have been a dem. for years, but that is over. This really takes the cake!!

McCain, Why not pick Romney he is Pro-Choice and Pro-Life…………….depending on the week.

Perfect fit for McFlip!

"someone who has a good and generous heart, who will be cheered by the rest of the world; someone whom we've known and loved and admired all our lives"

Sound like Bob Dylan should be the pick for VP.

If its not Hillary…. Im not interested.

We will vote for Obama only if he picks Hillary for veep.

Obama/Hillary 08
_____________________________________________

Then you'd better not be here a year from now complaining about how McCain has screwed everything up.

Oh yes…someone else who has no foreign policy experience. No one but Hillary….NO ONE!!!

Anybody except HILLARY!!! No more Clintons, Bushes and Kennedys. There are 300 million people in this country cannot believe Obama cannot find an experienced VP that will help him. He sure needs it!

if it's not biden it better be hillary because he needs experience on his ticket.. and if it's a woman that's not hillary it will be salt into a wound.

Caroline might be a wonderful person, but putting her in the VP slot would be suicide. She has zero experience on the national stage, such as being govenor, congressman, or senator, regardless of how competent whe may be otherwise. If some people have their doubts about Obama because of his inexperience, that will only be reinforced by having Caroline as his second in command.

So bad comedy is news now ?

cool idea

People do not under estimate the intellegence of obama, he is the smartest and gread leader ever lived, he will make the best decison that will benefit this nation. People please do not listen to CNN make your own decision, follow you heart and do not be tempted by the media crap that is thrown at you resist the evil.

Thats ridiculous!

It would be nice, but it seems very unlikely. We need more Caroline Kennedys in Washington: individuals who are brilliant civil servants rather than driven by their own personal ambitions.

So tired of the negativity, self-centeredness and utter cluelessness of Bush, Clinton, McCain, etc.

Wao this will make Obama really "experience" person in the ticket. Michael Moore is not an American and he has mingle enough in our politics creating a problem rather than a solution. MICHAEL SHUT UP!!

Bad choice for VP. He needs someone with experience. Obama should put her on his staff though.

I believe Caroline Kennedy would make a good choice for VP
Let's hear it for Caroline

ANYONE but hillary!

Most people on here already know their pick and are just throwing rocks now,I get out everyday and talk to people everywhere and most still dont have a clue.Its time to do the leg work,and tell people whats going on behind their backs.Expose the Republican war machine.

I'm sure Caroline Kennedy is a perfectly lovely person, but she is not qualified to sit next in line to the presidency. This entire idea is little more than marshmellow fluff, and it (again) must be a slow news day.

If I write a letter saying who I think should be the veep can I get published on CNN?

CHILL OUT PEOPLE, THIS IS A LETTER FROM A NUTJOB, NOT FROM THE CAMPAIGN!!

Why not Madonna or Roseanne Barr?
This is not a serious suggestion.

She backed Obama because her kids were excited by him…

Not a good qualification for a leader- relinquishing your own judgement for that of the kiddies.

Isn't he a "Giant Socialist Weasel?".

When I saw the heading of this post I said to myself; please, that would never fly since Caroline Kennedy who I love is not battle tested. But I must admit I'm intrigued by the case made by Moore.

I doubt that Caroline would be able/willing to fulfill the typical role of a VP candidate - being an attack dog. I also doubt that she's interested.

I've always liked this idea ever since Kennedy was first announced as heading up Obama's VO search…but it'll never happen.

Obama/Kennedy
Obama/Gore
Obama/Sebelius
Obama/Richardson

Feeling a little left out of the limelight Mikey??? You and Nader both need to quit yer bloviating and actually make yourselves useful. I tend to share similar worldviews with both of you, but I am so fed up with ego driven politics I could just scream. The only person you guys are helping is yourselves . . . .

CAROLINE IS NOT A HE !!!!!!!!!!

TO SUSAN…

WELL I GUESS YOU'LL BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN CAUSE HILLARY WILL NOT BE VP….SO SEE YA

Well if he picks her (and I have tremendous respect for her) he will have just given the election to McCain.

Are you all insane??? My dad was a gunner in the military - doesn't make me a sharp shooter. I used to get a kick out of Michael Moore, now I think he's crazy as a bag of squirrels.

Still would love to see Al Gore!!! Obama/Gore 08

In response to Relle Boston's comments, the reason that college students are rarely poled (which very well could be throwing off the data) is because fewer and fewer people in that demographic own landlines. As this is the primary vehicle polling organizations use, polling the college student population just doesn't happen very often.

"What did JFK actually accomplish?"

Getting someone to the moon and staring down the Soviet Union during the Cuban missile crisis. Not exactly easy feats.

I think Caroline would be a poor pick for VP.

Boy, CNN. Those of us in the newspaper industry have grown increasingly worried about the Internet taking over and we all sit back and hope that if that does happen, there will still be copy editors out there. But from the looks of a few things in this piece, you guys could use some help in that department. Hopefully through the magic of the World Wide Interwebs, you're able to fix the silly mistakes and republish the site and no one will be the wiser. But I saw them. Drop me an e-mail if you need some freelance copy editing help. It may be the new era of instant gratification on the Internet, but accuracy in punctuation and grammar is still important, isn't it? (And no, I'm not a crotchety old-guard newsman — I'm 32: Your key demographic!)

Americans have enough hard time to vote for a black man, they seems to go toward a 72 years old McSame.

How about Colin Powell?

OBAMA/POWELL 2008!!!

The clear and ONLY choice for Obama for VP is JOE BIDEN!!!!
He has the foreign relations experience, is smart, good communicator & understands the world. This would be a winning ticket. Go JOE!!

Thing is… by now Caroline regrets having allowed herself to be swayed by her children and grandchildren to lean towards Obama.

Adults lost their heads and let the enthusiasm of their children dictate this pathetic outcome.

I don't care who wins as long as the do the right thing, not screw us over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great idea! He does need to promote someone from outside the political loops. I am for it.

A great number of the people who’ve written responses to this article are flat out nuts. …..”Affair that McCain had??? Haven’t you heard that it was not true??? That’s why CNN hasn’t been harping on it 24/7. Caroline Kennedy as VP??? Are all Democrats nuts? Thank God I’m an Independent. Caroline Kennedy heading up a VP search???…..are you kidding me??? Just because her father was president, just because she was born into a lying, vote buying, womanizing, murdering family, I’m suppose to have faith in someone that she would recommend for President. Obama has lost his mind and no doubt votes….keep it up Obama and you won’t even be a Senator much longer.

I’m voting Republican…..at least John McCain can answer a question…even if it’s above his “pay grade”.

ain't gonna happen!!!

Hey Susan who is we? We as in you women because quite frankly the world can care LESS about your desperate need to get a woman in office and thats the only reason why you want her there is because shes a woman. There are so many much better qualified women out there than that old walking talking crusty skeleton who simply rides the fact her last name is CLINTON so that makes her entitled; as well as she does crap to contribute to crap. She is as useless as your vote for her. I would love to see a Kennedy as VP now that is a terrific choice. O and Fred as for you, JFK got shot before he could really accomplish some really great things because like always its someone like you who shoots down good people and in some situations…. literally.

Change and Inexperience '08!

wow this campaign will sink like a brick, actually it already is LOL.
Obama is weak, weak, WEAK!

You Hillary backer's need to understand that the candidate you backed will not now or ever be a presidential or vice-presidential candidate. SO GROW UP.

If she was the candidate now her skeletons would be coming out of the closet daily.

OMGGGGGGGGG are you kidding hahahaha this is the biggest joke ever. Congratualtions President John McCain you will gliding to those White House doors if this happens.

yikes….shoulda been clinton as the nominee..

..BUYERS REMORSE as they say

This choice is perfect….Please budget more money for secret service…This would really be a truly inspiring time for this country…Leaders that care and commited to the good of Americans. …As a Mom I worry about safety for them

lol. Who is desperate now?

An endorsement from Michael Moore should be the end of Obama’s political career especially if it’s based on a name from the past. Moore should focus on losing some of the lard and directing something worth watching instead of trying to interject his sorry ideals into American politics.

Is it a joke?

Barack, your political theory that not attacking or fighting back disarms your opponent seems to be wrong. McCain hired a new campaign team, started attacking relentlessly, questioned your patriotism, and pulled even in the national presidential polls. Barack, your political theory based on your vast presidential campaign experience is failing. FIRE YOURSELF! Hire political pros that have faced these issues, fought these battles, and withstood these attacks. Just because you are the smartest man in the room, don't fall into the trap of believing you know best about every issue. The good news is that McCain started these attacks early enough for you to change course. Next, if your senior campaign staff isn't giving you this advice, FIRE ALL OF THEM too. Bring in the Clinton war room soldiers, bring in sleazy slimy snake Clinton operatives, and let them fight this battle where it will be won, in the gutter. However, I will offer some free advice. Attack, attack, attack. Here are a few questions you need to ask the American people about McCain: 1. How many more American soldiers have to die before McCain forgives himself for making Vietnam propaganda tapes? 2. How can the American people trust a man that abandoned his family for a politically connected beer heiress? 3. Can we afford to elect a senile septuagenarian? 4. Was McCain sodomized as a POW? (just the hint of homosexual behavior scares Republicans and blue collar white men) 5. Who will run the White House when McCain can't remember his name? 6. What new war will McCain start? Iran? Russia? Cuba? Vietnam? Canada? Barack, you must question McCain's motives, patriotism, character, honor, manhood, judgment, intelligence, competence, mental ability, and religious beliefs. Don't omit any line of attack. When the presidential race is completely in the toilet, the American people will beg you both to talk about the issues. Then you win.

What a terrible choice, gotta love Libs working so hard to lose this election! Why not Pelosi, Americans love her, right!

It doesn't matter who his running mate is, he's still going to say one thing and do another. McShame the vietnamese collaborator, would run this country into financial default, while obama wants more of the same neo-con foreign policy except he'll approach foreign countries with more eloquence. The next 4 years are gonna suck regardless who wins. Neither one of them will repeal the patriot act, ban mercenaries in the middle east, or pay back the trillions in debt. Even Kerry is doing a better job and he's not even running for office.

This is a HORRIBLE idea. Obama needs a balance on the ticket and Biden is a good choice. I'd even say Hillary before Caroline.

You Clinton supporters need to get over the fact that the person you backed is not and will not be either candidate for president or vice-president. Grow up.

who cares what these goofs think?! The ONLY way he will be president is if he picks Hillary!

McCain 08
