Nightline's Daily Line

No. Move forward, not backward. She's blamed everyone but herself and her strategy for losing. People who say they'll vote for McCain should really think about it: Do you want war with Iran? A broken healthcare system? An end to safe, legal abortion? If you answered yes, McCain's your candidate.

No! Let Obama pick Jeremiah Wright as his vice presidential running mate.

Wright has already said that he wants the job.

Hillary 2012!!!

Go ahead and promise her VP, and then the transition for her being presidential nominee will be more smooth, as she'll end up being the nominee when more freaks come out of Obama's closet, the Michelle bashing whites video comes out and Barack's poll numbers drop to the low 30s.

Hope Obama enjoys this while it lasts.

No, but she should have a significant post in his cabinet.

You have to ask 2 questions to answer does she belong on the ticket.

Does having Clinton on the ticket help more than it hurts and can Obama get the same help from some other candidate.

To the first I believe she brings far more baggage and negatives than positives. She may have won the socially conservative working class whites in the primaries but I question whether ANY dem candidate will get them in the General Election. I don't even want to think about the Gorgon's knot of the CLintons finances coming out not to mention the massive turnout of the GOP base that would turn out to vote AGAINST Clinton and might just stay home if she isn't on the ticket.

There are plenty of other Dem candidates who could help out on the ticket without undermining the platform of change.

No, I am not in favor of it. Even in her speech, she continued to lie about the popular vote and act like she was holding the party hostage.

I live in rural America and I think that any value she might have with dems will be lost with Indies and repubs.

Too much hard feelings against her among those groups.

I personally cannot forgive her for the bank of American flags behind her while she claimed she was ready to lead, McCain was ready, but Barack was not.
That is personal for me. NO democrat does that to another democrat.

I will vote Obama. We will accept his nominee, but I don't believe she will be it. She is not what we need.

Just my humble opinion.

Are you ready for this nation to give up much of its sovereinty? Are you ready for a huge global tax (for global warming that would wipe out the US economy? Are you ready to send even more money to Africa than we already do because it's Obama's pet project? Are you ready for the government to become bigger than it has ever been in our lifetime? Are you ready to ask the rest of the world what we're allowed to drive, eat, and set our thermostats on? Are you ready for a total gun ban? Are you ready for America to become a nation that you don't even recognize?

Then vote Obama!

"No! Let Obama pick Jeremiah Wright as his vice presidential running mate. Wright has already said that he wants the job. Hillary 2012!!!" from USmarine0331... I agree 100%

What a CLASSLESS ACT Hillary Clinton is!! I wouldn't pick her to be my VP if she were the last candidate on earth! Run as far away from her as you can Barack and pick someone you can count on who wants to see you succeed!

I do not think Obama should pick up Clinton as vice-president, considering this circumstance in Clinton's campaign and her supporters' claim.
Hillary has showen her extrordinary and ternacious strength during campaign. But personally, she has not got enough benevolence and patience to support for president, who is beyond her power. I hope Obama is considering nominee of vice-president with Edward.
Two good men have make it US president this winter.

J.L. - The classless act is Obama who was selected by media, party bosses, and other elitist....I hope McCain wins big.

Absolutely not. I don't think that he should even consider her. There are several very fine prospects who would add to the ticket. Hillary should never have done any race-baiting but since she and Bill chose a low-integrity strategy then she deserves what she got. She loses. But having said that I strongly believe that she would be invaluable in a high ranking position in the Senate.

And if you really want to get down to cases...........

30 seconds after Obama picks Clinton as his VP he gets a call from his life insurance policy saying the policy is canceled and he's uninsurable.

Absolutely not; she is just too manipulative, divisive and vicious to trust.

I would willingly and with great pleasure vote for a woman for President or Vice President of this great country if she was qualified, but only if it is not Hillary Clinton. I have a long memory...

And because some others have suggested it recently, that would also include her daughter who will ultimately prove to be cast from the same mold as her Mother.

I honestly and sincerely hope that it doesn't happen, but I have told close friends that if Hillary is on the ticket, forget about me from voting for Barack Obama, a man whom I consider to be a superior human being, a man this country desperately needs to lead us into a brighter future.

Yes, elitists picked Barack. Everybody knows that Iowa, Montana, Idaho...places like that are just Mecca for the elite crowd.

You want to use talking points and sound bites that are not true. You don't know squat about the people that vote for Senator Obama.

no, she should not be picked for nor run as vp. then obamba loses to mccain, his supporters will blame her if she is the vp candidate. she should let him lose on his own merits, and then she can run for president in 2012 and beat mccain.

NO......NO.......No.......
All she will do is ensure that he loses in November - she is not the only one that can help him in those states and all the negatives she brings to the table aren't worth it. The taking care of "my 18 million voters" is BS - she is only out to take care of herself.

Obama can't spend his time looking over his shoulder all the time trying to figure out what knife she is trying to put in his back this time.

Bill is a disaster just waiting to happen - Obama doesn't need to have him anywhere around his white house.

No......No.......No......

Send her packing

No. No. No. She couldn't even stop attacking him tonight.

Why would Obama want to weaken his Presidential position by A) picking his rival opponent as his running mate, and B) picking as his running mate the person (i.e. Clinton) who embarrassed him a month ago by suggesting the he, the delegate leader, should be the VP under HER (who was well behind Obama in delegate count). Obama would be a fool to pick his opponent Clinton as his running mate. He would be the laughing stock of politics. Not only that, but Obama can do much better than Clinton as his VP.

No, absolutely not. As has be stated on more than one of these blogs, that would be a total clash to the message of change. Change does not mean Obama/Clinton. He would be undermining himself. All these people who are trying to cram Hillary down his throat need to step back and let him have the same option they would have given her, had she been the nominee.

No.Hillary Clinton will be a disaster.Her personal inordinate ambition will undermine Mr. Obama candidacy.She is going to be a liability.She is too ambitious. Obama remember Ceasar.Please watch your back.God bless you as you are taking charge of the leadership of your country.

He won the nomination. It is his. He gets to choose. If he takes Hillary, I will support him. However, I urge him to not make this decision.

Hillary Clinton's campaign is $31 MILLION in debt. The only reason she's staying in the race is so that SUCKERS LIKE YOU donate more to her campaign so that she can pay off her bills and bow out. Otherwise, she's stuck with the bills herself. Clinton would rather let the bills go unpaid, thereby harming hundreds of companies who worked for her campaign. Failing that, she would rather thief her supporters into paying the debt on her failed campaign. The situation is quite disturbing.

No.

Absolutely not.

She has done too much damage to the party and the country.

If Clinton is VP, how would Obama be able to govern with a daily reality show going on at Whitehouse?

No drama Obama!

Should a boy scout take a rattle snake to bed on his first camping trip? Definitely not.

What does this have to do with whether or not Obama should select Clinton as his VP?

Do you really think that Bill Clinton and his little Hillary would listen to anybody but themselves? Of course not. So, with Hillary as second in command, it would probably only be a matter of time before something unfortunate happens. Is America ready for something that would our country for decades to come? Definitely not.

Go home, Hillary. (Where ever that is to you.) We don't want you and your cheating husband back in our White House. You lost. Go home and raise grandkids or something.

The party is over. For you anyway.

NO. With or without Bill, it's drama and baggage. That would be a step backward. That would dampen the sense of possibility, hope and enthusiasm. DON'T DO IT!!!!

Yes, without a doubt.

NO he should NOT pick Hillary.....

barack should vote jeremiah wright as vp!!!!!!

for real though, an obama/clinton ticket would be just the stability the United States needs at this point, and would certainly be unbeatable. mccain would have no chance!!!

HELLLLLLL NO!

Yes. It will be an asset to his ticket and unit the party.

Obama won't win without her! He needs to have her for Democrats sake!

I think Senator Obama should ask Senator Clinton to be his running mate.

It would be good for the election and looking forward, would be good for the country.

YES! Obama should pick Hillary Clinton as running mate!

No. I will not vote for him if she is to be the vp.

No, No Obama should have the opportunity to make independent decisions without Hilary as his VP.

No, for God sakes no.

Clinton I believe is very bitter and has been for some time, I believe her and Bill will be no good to Obama. Like someone else has said, she is millions in debt and I am sure that is the very reason why she is angry people voted for her but didn't really support her candidacy where it really counted.

OBAMA WOULD BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE HER AS HIS VP. HILLARY'S A LOT SMARTER THAN OBAMA WHO HAS THIN RESUME ON THE PLATE. I DON'T THINK HE WILL WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION WITHOUT THE HILLARY SUPPORTERSS BY HIS SIDE. DON'T OVERESTIMATE HIS POSITION.

I DON'T THINK SHE WILL ACCEPT THE VP POSITION IF SHE GETS AN OFFER FROM OBAMA. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN HER MIND WHICH I THINK IS INTELLIGENTLY DECISIVE OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THAT.

Good Lord, no! No more white trash in the white house - in any form or fashion. The Clintons even now are trying to blackmail their way on to the ticket - by continuing to threaten to continue the battle.

Nope! If he picks her, he'll win. That's really the ONLY way - America NEEDS her. In my opinion, he isn't what he appears to be. At least with Hillary, we KNOW what we get and SHE is the one who can win against the Republicans - not him. So, if he picks her, he'll be in office. I'd vote for Hillary against McCain, but not for Obama.

Yes, Barack should have Hillary as vice president. Devided they are good candidates in their own right, but together you have an unstoppable candidacy. Definetly a match for the republicans,

After watching the Clinton campaign for the last few months, I think she would make the ideal VP candidate...for John McCain. She already has a great deal of experience in attacking Obama.

Absolutely NO!!! We all need a LOOOOOONG vacation from her, and as I read somewhere else, Obama would seem like he's caving in into her whims, which I believe would be a sign of weakness. There are many other qualified VP candiates. Again, NO to Hillary, ever!

Yes, Obama needs Clinton for her experience and to be elected in the states that elect our president.

I think Obama picking Clinton would only hurt his campaign. She has faught tooth and nail to be the democratic nominee and often joked that Obama should just bow out and become her VP. What an insult! Now once he got the nomination she's practically forcing him into a corner by pretty much promising her voters to him if she is on the ballot for VP.
Personally, I think John Edwards should be the VP nomination on the ballot. He would bring in a lot of southern voters and would make up for several votes Obama lacked. Not to mention he would compliment Obama's campaign in so many positive ways. Hilary has done nothing but run her mouth throughout the campaign and I doubt she could take the backseat during Obama's presidency.

Yes, Obama needs Clinton for her experience and to be elected in the states that elect our president.

Yes! I think it's the best chance of beating the Republicans in November.

no she would not put him on hers so why should she put hers on his

Yes, because this would ensure his win to the White House.

Absolutely NOT. I voted for Obama to get rid of Hillary!! It would be the worst mistake of his life (no pun itended) The Clintons would eliminate him and then she would be President.

Or at the least he would have the VP from hell for 4 years. She would try to run his Presidency just like she is trying to grab his VP job now.

NO, NO, NO.

There are just too numerous reasons as to why he shouldn't and all of them are justified. Basically, most of america (except or her 18 million voters) just want the clintons to go away.

She is not a leader and she surely lacks judgement and her honesty and trustworthness are pathetic. I as a woman now find her as no match for the presidency or vp spot.

I find it disappointing that so many Obama supporters post sexist comments about Hillary. Her policies and his are not that different. It seems that people are more ready for a non-white president than they are for a female president. I think the best way to unite the party is to include Hillary on the ticket. Obama may have won the delegates but she has won the states where Democrats usually win. He needs to think about that. His wins in places like South Carolina will not translate into Democratic Party wins in November.

Obama should NOT select Clinton as VP. He and the country would be served with the Clintons in major support roles outside the white house. I think his presidency would be seriously compromised with the Clintons too much on the inside.

Why don't Barack pick for his Vice Presidential nominee the biggest money supporter of his campaign......OPRAH WINFREY. Then as a thank you, give every dime she gave and more to the people who earn less than $50,000.00 for a family of four, while requiring those who earn more than $100,000.00 for a family of two pay an additional $99,000.00 dollars to families who earn less than $50,000.00 for a family of four.

YES! If Obama names Hillary as the VP nominee, then all the people who voted for her will stay voting for Obama. Whatever it takes, we must get the Republicans out of the White House! We cannot survive any more time with the madness that we currently have. Get the Democats in and end the war and start making us liked again by the rest of the world.

Absolutely not! Hillary has shown herself to be divisive, manipulative and completely disingenuous! I was a staunch Hillary Clinton fan prior to this campaign. After the Iowa Caucus, she began to show her true colors as an entitled, arrogant, self-engrandizing politician. I was greatly disappointed and moved to Team Obama.

If he chooses Hillary as VP, she will undermine his policies and will be a negative force to destroy his legacy as president. Hillary does not respect Barack although he has demonstrated great respect for her. She has divided this party and jeopardized our chances in November.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I would emphatically say NO! Perhaps Mr. Obama should wonder what Hilary was eluding to when she stated that Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June. Then look at how many people mysteriously died that were connected to the Clintons. I believe I have made my point. You need John Edwards to win. He can bring in the south and he not a poor loser. He is very likable and knowledgeable. We also won't have to worry about Bill having sex with the new pages in the VP's office.

No I don't trust her ! I do think he should appoint her to a key position in his administration. She can bring a lot of her supporters to help the Democrats win in November ! America truly needs a fresh approach.I'm confident saying this as a former Hillary supporter I really am confident tat Obama can take this country in the right direction that it needs to go . we have gone through a terrible time in the last year during Bush administration. I know personally it has been a disasterous time I looking for a good healing process for America

No, I would much prefer to see John Edwards on the ticket. I really like some of the things Edwards spoke out about during his campaign, primarily issues of equality and poverty. Plus I like what I have observed of his thinking.

I absolutely think he should pick her, and am certain his support within the Democratic Party would be greatly enhanced. He may lose a few of the Republicans that have supported him fleetingly over the last few months, and some that do not even realize how sexist they are, but he would gain many others.

Hellllll NO! Never!

I am a Clinton supporter so YES I would love to see her on the ticket. I also think this is a ticket that could go down in the history books for sure!

Oh, Please No!!! I am so tired of the Clintons. Obama gets to choose his own running mate.

I STILL BELIEVE THAT OBAMA MAYBE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE BUT I HAVE A STRANGE FEELING THAT HILLARY WILL BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AFTER BUSH AS WHAT MOST ASTROLOGERS AND FORTUNE TELLERS HAVE BEEN PREDICTING SINCE LAST YEAR.

No - no - Hillary would NOT make a good Vice Presidential candidate! She has shown herself to be very vicious, back stabbing and greedy, not to mention very unprofessional. We have a candidate who can very likely involve Americans in becoming involved in their government and making much needed changes. May God bless all of us and make this happen!

No. He should not choose Hillary as his VP candidate. He is the change candidate - and boy do we need some BIG changes around here. The thing is, the Clintons have had their time, you can never go back. It's time for some fresh perspectives and new angles.

Clinton should absolutely NOT be VP nor
should she have a cabinet position or
any role what so ever in the Obama administration!

Again, no.
I will support Barack, but I hope he is not forced to do this.

No, Hillary should not be VP. People voted against her because she is too political and untrustworthy. I don't think she can bring within herself the fresh thoughts, fresh hopes, that wuold allow her to envision the hopes that Barack has, and she would therefore be unable to help him to accomplish him. She would be like an albatross on his neck, dragging him down into a mire of disillusionment and ruthlessness. Witness her extreme poor sportsmanship tonight.

No, but not for the reasons stated by so many others who seem to harbor such venom toward someone who has proven herself to be such a strong and talented politician. I'm disappointed that so many who seem to support Obama have failed to grasp his message of unity.

I say she should not be the VP, because she has been and can continue to be a tremendous senator - and would be able to do even more for the country under an Obama presidency. They will work together and be even more effective in two separate branches of our government than together in one.

Obama needs Hillary. Hillary's popularity has been growing. Obama needs think carefully. If he adds her to the ticket, he may be bullet proof, but if he doesn't he is probably dead in the water.

Absolutely not. I suggest that Bill Richardson would be a wonderful compliment with his vast foreign policy experience and previous cabinet position. He's served at every level of government and run an entire state. Most of our presidents have been governors. This would balance the ticket from a federal and state perspective.

No - OMG Please NOOOOO!! If I had wanted Hilary in the White House I would have voted for her in the primaries. Obama should really go for the changes he has been campaigning about for months. Lots of other better choices!

Interesting comments - from what I've read here, it seems that Hillary is what Obama needs to win. Just what she's been saying all along - SHE CAN WIN against the Republicans. Personally, I'd love to see OUR votes count and not the Super Delegates.... she'd be in if that were the case.

Sen. Obama should NOT pick Hillary for VP for these reasons: 1) Bill Clinton, (The past is the past), 2) Hillary's baggage is really heavy, 3) very low favorability nationally, 4) perceived untrustworthiness, e.g., sniper fire, etc., and 6) Hillary doesn't fit with the nation's need for real change.

YES!!! Despite all of the media bias (admit it), she has withstood it all and the Republicans are no joke when it comes to going after an election (2000, 2004). Hillary needed Barack's supporters and he definitely needs hers to win. If you all are serious about change and having a Democrat in the White House, this dream ticket is the way to go.

YES.. She deserves and has worked hard for the democratic party. I hope she fights on til the end. McCain would not stand a chance. If she is not on the ticket I and many others will not vote for Obama.

Good heavens no; the Clintons are holding Obama hostage. He should not pick Hillary because 1) Bill (primed to undermine/upstage) looming in the background is worrisome; 2) Hillary is not going to want to serve another eight years as a "second banana" to Obama; by the time two terms are done, she will be 68; and 3) Barack should not have to have her forced down his throat.

The best thing that he could do for her would be to offer her a Supreme Court seat when one comes available.

Absolutely NO!
It would be a problem with Hillary as a VP and an even bigger one with Bill in the House. Obama can stand on his own without the clinton baggage.

YES....It has been a battle like no other battles and it has brought so many people out to vote. Who else is there? Having both on the ticket, is a sure win against McCain. I would hate to see him choose someone other than Clinton and it cost the Democrats the win in November. Whether you like Clinton or not, you have to admire that she fought to the end showing she is no quitter and I believe she will support Obama whether or not she is on the ticket. Go ahead...Let's make history. Our first black president and our first female v.p.

Yes, I truly believe he will not win against McCain unless he does choose Hillary. There are a lot of us female voters out there who want to see the first female president in our lifetime just as much as black voters want to see the first black president. If he were to pick a different female as a VP it would be a huge insult to us and her. She has worked her but off to get where she is, can he honestly say the same ? The Clintons will make great supporters of his election and presidency and we spurned female Hillary followers will not.

No. The liabilities are too great. The first is Bill who can not be controlled. The second is Hillary who, because of her need to control, would undermine Obama at every opportunity! The other liabilities are too many to list.

After watching the Clinton campaign for the last few months, I think she would make the ideal VP candidate...for John McCain. She already has a great deal of experience in attacking Obama.

He may have no choice. Hillary has spent weeks brainwashing her supporters to think that if SHE doesn't get the nomination, it's because the DNC cheated them, disenfranchised them, and even hijacked their votes. And a half-hearted effort on the part of Hillary to support Barack will not undo the damage she has done. Her supporters will either vote for McCain, nobody, or write her name in on the November ballots. Personally, I think giving Hillary the Attorney General position might be the best use of her talents and also be enough to garner her supporters votes without alienting any Obama supporters. Her tenacity and pitbull mentality are the characteristics an Attorney General needs, if used to enforce Barack's political vision of course. And if Edward's was expecting that job, he'd be much better off as the next Supreme Court Justice.

no, No, NOOOOO!!!! pleeeease if you're reading this barack--or anyone else who has major ties to barack--PLEEEASE do not choose that lady as your running mate!!!!

Yes - Yes - Yes - What a powerful ticket. The best ticket to beat McBush.
From the beginning of time canidates have never been sweet to each other during campaigns. Quit whinning about who said what and move on!!

NO!

Clinton has demonstrated she is NOT a team player.

Clinton has demonstrated - throughout her campaign in a multitude of ways - that her judgment is atrocious and she doesn't deserve to be in line for POTUS.

Clinton (contrary to her claims) has NOT been vetted - NOR has Bill - for their complex and suspicious financial and personal dealings since leaving the WH 7 years ago.

Clinton is THE most polarizing person for both conservative and Republicans AND can't win over more than 50% of her own party.

Clinton is ungracious, uncouth and completely out-of-touch with the reality that is America today.

Clinton SHOULD get more foreign experience, though. I humbly suggest that she should be named as American Ambassador to Iraq where she can take charge of the disaster that she helped to create there PLUS get the opportunity to dodge REAL bullets from time to time.

Yes, I think Obama should choose Hillary for his running mate--half of the democrats voted for her, even today.

He'd better!

No! Absolutely not!
Clinton is convinced that she is the best candidate to beat McCaine. How can she possibly serve Obama and the Country in the second position? In addition, she and Bill Clinton come as a package.The oval office isin't big enough for the three of them.He needs VP he can trust.

The Nightmare Ticket! OBAMA already has a bullseye on his back for the very small number of nuts who feel we must never have a black president. HILARY as veep would paint another bullseye on his chest for the very minute number of her followers who feel she should be president at any cost.

I have been saying all along that the 1st female prez and the first black Commander-in-Chief will have higher than average chances of shortened terms; remember what happened to the first Catholic.

Putting her on the ticket would simply create a third category of kooks.
