Interesting news. Is Hillary offering Edwards the VP spot???
Not sure, but that would sure be a positive stop toward the White House.

She has to get there 1st.

He must be close to endorsing Obama because she has stepped up on calling his name.

Hillary will say whatever/use whomever she has to to get the power. Don't believe her on this one.

Edwards has a lot in common with Obama and has always labelled Hillary as the candidate of the establishment and the real status quo. Hoping that Edwards will not accept petty politics and a lolly pup from Hillary

Sorry Denise. I believe her. I think a Clinton/Edwards ticket would be hard for the Republicans to beat.

It's just another tactic she is using to appeal to the Edwards or undecided voters. How tacky of her to do this where she had no interest in his campaign and views before. Typical of the Clintons, why can't she just disappear. It's already apparent that if the democrats want to get in office, Hilary Clinton is not the answer. A recent poll shows more people are willing to vote for Obama over McCain. Please go away Hilary

Yes, but if Obama made this announcement, he would be a brilliant political strategist. But, because it's Hillary, well, she is just tacky.

Why would she just go away, when she is leading in the polls on the next round of big states that really matter? That would be kind of silly.

Jordan, I think she would go with Evan Bayh. Edwards is a good candidate, and if he didn't have the misfortune to be in a race with Obama and Clinton, who knows what he could have done?

But the simple probability is that he wouldn't bring much to anyone's ticket. If there was some chance he could deliver a southern state, then sure. But he won't, and didn't for Kerry.

Bayh and Richardson are two of my guesses who would be on her short list. Warner and Richardson are a couple guesses for Obama's short list. Maybe Napolitano, too.

Sadly, this is just more of playing both sides of the field. She voted for the Iraq War and is going to keep fighting the insurgents, yet she's going to "start" pulling troops out within 60 days (let the people believe the story they prefer). She takes money from drug companies and lobbyists, yet she's going to "call on Edwards". Who knows what that means? At least we know where McCain and Obama stand.

I think Obama Edwards would be unstoppable. Clinton is too much the same old stuff. We need change not more of the same.

Translation::: "Edward's supporters, you can vote for me, cause I really like John and I'll be just like him if I get to be President."

She really DOES think we are all dumb!!!! How transparent!!!! She has nothing in common with Mr. Edwards. They are on opposite ends of the spectrum as far as honesty goes! How dare she.

Hello! Obama is been supported by the ESTABLISHMENT – When did Ed Kennedy become a Washington outsider? What is Oprah’s money, power, and influence -- holy water? Open you eyes before we end up with a Republican president. Vote Hilary.

dream on - I'm rarely one to defend Clinton, but this was in response to a question from an Edwards supporter. I suppose she was stretching the truth a little when she said Edwards would be involved in a major way, but I do suspect all these candidates would be happy to have everyone involved in some capacity as an advisor, etc.

Paul, I agree with you, I was just throwing it out there. The best bet we have of taking back the White House is a Clinton/Obama ticket or even a Obama/Clinton ticket. Let's see if these two giant egos can do what's best for the Democratic party. Sadly, I think their pride will both let this thing go on way too long to be productive.

It must really suck to be a politician, the things you have to do and say.
Why chose second best? I'm voting John Edwards...

Where does it say anything about her asking Edwards to be the VP? Hereis her

I still voted for John Edwards even after he suspended his campaign. Until HE himself says something I will accept nothing. For those of you who think Obama and he are similar, that is completely laughable. You believe Obama's hype? John felt they were similar on SOME issues. Obama can't hold a candle to John Edwards. John IS the REAL deal folks!

shame on all of you!!

America you had your chance for the original of ideas and plans

you blew it! quit trying to kiss and make up now trying to get Edwards as anyones VP is a HUGE INSULT!!!

you should of made him YOUR 1st CHOICE for president!

Really its amazing how she would being she wont win the nomination.

I don't think she'll ask Edwards to be her VP.. He don't want that.. He wants, and will get the Attorney General nod.. I think Bayh or Richardson would be a good choice for VP.. But Obama would be a better choice.. There are allot of good Democrats out there so She won't have any problems filling all the Cabinet post with good people.. Hillary is by far the best choice.. I'll vote for her.. Go Hillary !!!

I PREFER SENATOR JOE BIDEN TO BE HER RUNNING MATE.

How can i vote for her. she looked at the woman an lie right in front of her face.

Hillary is a farce. Im amazed a sinle voter would choose her over Obama.

hillary is an oportunist and anything BUT a feminist. She is a walmart corporate shill for the insurance companies. Her "universal" plan for health is actually a boon for the insurance companies and mandate the poor to pay for something they cant afford. You clowns bought into that loan garbage and her weakness being she was too impatient to help America lol!

I will pray for you misguided sheep

You all seem to forget that Elizabeth Edwards continually said that Obama kept stealing John's ideas and using them as his own. Change was originally John's and several other things. So to say that he has more in common with Obama is wrong.
I personally think that a Clinton Edwards ticket would be hard to beat.

Attorney General or a Cabinet position--Labor or something?

I'm an Edwards person, and she's right about one thing--she is a fighter--the question is whether she'll fight for the right things. Obama is not a fighter at all, and wants to be loved--that won't solve our problems.

Edwards would be high on the list for Attorney General and that would be a great position for him.

If Hillary Clinton doesn't get the nomination, I will become a leader of the McCain Democrats

News flash:Edwards endorses no one!

Pander much? Hillary is worried.

obama's radio ad in south carolina, in response to hillary's lying screed about his reagan comments, said it all: she'll say anything. and change nothing.

Hillary will beat McCain and she doesn't need Edwards to do it. The true conservatives of this country are not going to vote for McCain. Most people who know anything about him consider him nuts. McCain is the Neocon establishment's only hope and a pitiful one at that. He is not a conservative and most true conservatives think he is more a Dem then Republican. They do not trust him and consider him unstable. They will not support him and many will not vote at all.
A Clinton Edwards ticket would be better then a Clinton Obama one to many middle of the road Republicans who refuse to support McCain.
The enemy you know is better then the fair weather friend you can't trust.

SHE'LL DO OR SAY ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED

Let's not make another huge mistake people. Only Obama will outpoll McCain. Remember, she has the highest negatives of any candidate. Nominating Hillary is handing the neocons another victory, it's just that simple.

JUST ANOTHER SLIME CLINTON TRICK. IT WOULD NOT MAKE ANY SENCE FOR HER TO CHOOSE EDWARDS AS VP BECAUSE IF SHE WAS THE DEM. CANADATE SHE WOULD GET THE SAME SOUTHERN STATE VOTES WITHOUT HIM. ANOTHER NO MONEY POOR ME CRY TRICK. HER AND BILL DESERVE EACH OTHER. OBAMA HAS A HEALTH PLAN THAT WILL GET THRU CONGRESS. HER PLAN WILL NOT. OBAMA WOULD GET THE INDEPENDTENT VOTE FROM MC CAIN SHE WILL NOT. SHE HAS LOTS OF IOU'S OUT THERE FOR THE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS THAT HAVE GIVEN HER THE BIG MONEY. SAME STORY AS USUAL WITH HER NOT SO WITH OBAMA.

As an Edwards supporter I appreciate Clinton´s comments.

Obama wins big in Nebraska, and is currently leading 67-32 in Washington, with just under a third of the vote counted.

Richard - it has nothing to do with whether they like one another. Johnson certainly didn't like Kennedy. H.W. Bush certainly didn't like Reagan.

I do think you are on to something with your comment about Clinton not wanting him upstaging her. That was the rationale I heard most frequently for why W. Bush didn't choose Hagel. Bayh fits the bill better - not that he couldn't be a credible presidential candidate himself in the future, but he does come across as an non-upstaging number two.

I suspect Obama would decline because he might see it as a poor career move. A ticket with Clinton on it loses, regardless of who is with her, and it would be in the Democratic Party's interests to keep Obama away from that.

Washingon state has been called for Obama - shaping up to be another big percentage win in a not so small state.

Clinton is speaking at the JJ Dinner in Richmond. How she agreed to speak before Obama is a mystery, lol. She's doing fine, though.

My read on Hillary's comment is:
a non-commital committal.

And my read on Edwards supporters:
they'd blow a gasket if he endorsed her absent some earth-shattering secret is exposed.

My preference: Edwards should just release his delegates to vote their consciences. No endorsement and no token handouts from the front-runners.
SO far, neither has made a peep about their "pledges" to put poverty back int he spotlight as a moral issue.

I hate to burst the bubble some of you have with Obama, but that guy is not change.
Dig this:
he's for nuclear power, the death penalty, increasing the military, keeping the criminal economic blockade on Cuba, free trade, HMO run health insurance, and on and on.
The new boss is the same as the old boss.

Wake up.

Hmmm, she just 'borrowed' another stump speech construct from Obama.

When Hilary Clinton was a Yale student (then known as Hilary Rodham), she did community work in the south (establishing health clinics and other programs in poor Black neighborhoods). She has done community stuff since way back then and has a lot of experience and a resume in helping the poor. Hate her if you will, or say she is the same old stuff, but you are a fool. Clinton, Obama, Edwards ALL have great qualities that will lead this country in an opposite downward direction than the idiots who occupy our White House have been leading it. Demand that if she is the nominee, that she picks Obama as a V.P. and if not Edwards. And if not Edwards, then as ATTORNEY GENERAL. Go educate yourselves on the work history of these three individuals before you scream such: "I will not vote for Hilary, I will vote for Ralph Nader" or "I will vote for McInsane before Hilary", or "I will not vote for a Black man" (forgetting that Obama is half-White). If you want to throw the White House back into the hands of the repubs, then don't complain after you do it and we continue to fall in the whole these idiots have put us in.

Since Obama decided to use the race card I doubt if Hillary will win any caucuses. If all the primarys were by private ballot she would win in a landslide. No one wants to be called racist by big baby Bama. Too bad because Hillary would make a good president just like her husband.

hettiemae? Obama is winning caucuses in places like Kansas and Nebraska because he played the race card?

That makes about as much sense as concluding his camp had anything to do with playing the race card at all.

And back to tonight, Louisiana has just been called for Obama, and for what its worth has a lead right now in the Virgin Islands.

From the get-go this election has been Hillary's to lose and if she does lose to Obama and/or Obama/Edwards she has nobody to blame other than herself for not putting a muzzle on Bill Clinton from day one of her presidential campaign. Does anyone really believe otherwise?

Congrats to Obama on his good night Paul, but when you add up the delegate counts he only advanced by about 30-50 or so. So it is a win if you count states, but we all know Obama is counting delegates. I think after the final tally they will still be about even.
On Tuesday Virgina is a key state for both candidates.

Folks, let's not forget that Obama is leading Clinton in pledged delegates. Super delegates cannot rightly be counted at this time. To be clear, Obama is leading this race and has a better than 50% chance of getting his party's nomination.

Not so fast FGF, he is only leading by 18 so far, and super delegates, even though they can switch at the convention are actually counted at this time. So nice spin, but the 3 wins for Obama tonight were moral victories to keep things close. Lot's more to go and the are exactly even right now. Don't forget the Florida and Michigan delegates which I am almost positive will be seated at the convention. Mr. Obama still has a lot of work to do.
He is way behind in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and behind in Texas and Wisconsin. If Hillary can win in Virginia on Tuesday, the race is still very much alive for her.

ahem, so who is leading right now in real delegates- the ones that normal joes have a part of, not the super-delegates? Obama baby! I feel sorry for Edwards about this, especially since I backed him. I hope that Obama gets his endorsement and Obama puts him in as VP nominee. However, it is nice to know that something good might happen if Clinton does get the ticket.

""...Edwards was the only other candidate running who offered a universal health care plan...""

But she failed to mention her plan would garnish the wages of the poor and force them to pay for something they ALREADY can't afford. Newsflash, if they could afford it they'd have it.

Why didn't she go into details. I don't know why the press doesn't call her on more of her bull.

A black man named Barack Hussein Obama, who was just voted the moted liberal US Senator is not going to win a national elect so fuggetaboutit.... The GOP will make mincemeat out of this neophyte,,,

The Super delegates won't want a loser on the ticket. No matter how may kids and black folks cheer him on. The DNC first step, after she wins Penn, will be to seat the Mich and Florida delegates and themn the Super delegates and she will be over the top.

Come April, he'll be toast. If he plays his cards right, he can be VP. And since he is young and a successful Clinton Presidency will mean he could step into the top spot (after 8 years of being second fiddle)

HarryT: Your wisdom is astounding. I concur 100%. Why do you think a majority of the Republicans in the open caucuses are voting Obama. They are salivating at the prospect of him being the nominee.
Mrs. Clinton has the support base, the experience and the platform to win back the White House for the Democrats. They will not take a chance on Mr. Obama.

Obama owns a house the mob paid for. Obama hasn't done crap for N.O. and hasn't stopped funding the war. You can't be against the war and continue to fund it. Obama may speak well, but he's an establishment candidate. Folks may like him, but they need to quit acting like Obama will change things, if he's the candidate it will be status quo.

This coming from a person who sent robo calls to Edwards supporters the day of the election lying about his record.

Oh sure now she now admires him and plans to call on him, funny she didn't admire him before lying about him taking money from lobbyist!

She is the lobbyist best unwrapped gift. Now, she wants voters to believe she and Edwards share a vision. Please.

This is to funny to even laugh.

Attorney General Edwards could do much more good for this country than Vice President Edwards.

Anyone opted to Hillary's VP will have to cohibit with Clintons; same as Al Gore.

Clintons are all about winning; for that insane reason, they will say anything, do anything!

Trust them not!

"Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me!" - George Walker Bush.

The fact that Edwards hasn't endorsed anyonethus far indicated 1 of 2 things-either a deal's been made or he doesn't want to waste his weight until he can make one. This is politics-let's not be nieve (sic?).

I lost all respect for Edwards when he dropped out and DIDN'T endorse Obama before Super Tuesday. To me he just looks like the same kind of flip-flopper that Hillary is - saying ANYTHING to get votes.

I was SO uplifted at my WA caucus today! Obama was a CLEAR winner, nearly 2 to 1 in the state overall, and he got all 3 of the delegates for our tiny precinct.

More and more Americans are seeing through the fake to the real and choosing Obama.

Clinton paired with ANYONE will lose the general election. If the Democrats want to win, Obama is our nominee, it's just that simple.

And there are MANY reasons that makes sense.

I would think that anyone running for the POTUS position Democrat or Republican would be all about winning. I would expect no less. I am pretty sure Mr.Obama is all about winning, and he has already shown he will do anything to win. Why are the Clinton's always demonized for being politicians?

Oh...dear! Is this the latest stunt by our former first lady.

I wonder if Edwards will endorse Obama in spite of this.

Clinton is old-school Democrat. Give her her respect, tell her thank you, but be gettin' on please. Your time has come and past Hillary. There's a fresh breeze blowing across this great land of ours. It's time for the future to take the torch from the past. Isn't obvious? Clinton is leading a campaign, but Obama is leading a movement.

Why pray tell would anyone want Edwards on their ticket. He brings nothing. He won no primaries or cauceses. He certainly did nothing for Kerry.

If nominated Hilary will ask Obama, the Party will see to that. If nominated Obama will take someone like Richardson or Biden, or even may ask someone like Jim Webb. Hilary offers nothing to his ticket, however the same can not be said in reverse.

I asked the question because I want John's policies carried into the next administration. I'm supporting Hillary now because she's willing to fight and work. I don't think Obama is willing to do that. I can't see where his action matches his talk. It's that simple.

I don't think there will be a Hillary/Obama ticket or vice versa. Too much animosity between the two.

I like the idea of a Hillary/Edwards ticket.

Obama will have my vote in 8 years.

A Hillary nomination will propel me to work for Senator McCain.

I am an Obama supporter yes, but moreover, I cannot stand Hillary the liar.

Obama has the best stump speech, and the public loves a good uplifting speech. Every election the winning speech / theme is "Change". The public hates DC politics, bickering, etc. But, they would behave exactly the same should they be there, cuz' folks, nobody rolls over for anybody once you're elected, especially in the Senate. Naive and uninformed, and basically ignorant due to their own choice of ignoring reality [except for Reality TV and celebrity tracking shows, if not the 'talk shows'] and demanding the media be responsible, so gullible is probably the best description of the American voter. Hey, they voted for Bush the younger, Twice. Arguments to Elected vs selected aside, he did receive a huge, for presidential numbers, majority in '04.

The Clinton campaign guy nailed it and got roasted for it. The GOP 527s will have a field day with Obama's youth dope use. The DUI almost sank Bush in 2000. What will admitted coke and dope use do to energize the vast middle America voters who rabidly hate it. Put a doper in the oval office, or an old POW war hero 'straight talker' maverick ? Even tho it's more the Straight Slock Express. America is falling deeper into a recession, and a cheery speech won't cut it. America votes it's pocket book, every time.

I will categorically support the Dem nominee, unlike Ms Obama, cuz anyone is far better than another 4 years of GOP.

I've always thought Edwards would be Clintons Attorney General not VP

Wow, talk about some desperate butt-kissing. Close races sure do make for some strange bed fellows.

I think if Edwards were to throw his delegates to anyone, it would be Obama.

I would love for John Edwards to be Attorney General - and right all the wrongs of the Bush administration.

But he can't do more than the president allows - and Obama and Hillary are DC insiders.

Obama has even stated Bush and Cheney have NOT committed impeachable offenses!
Can't get more DC insider than that.

Claire and Co.,

Do you all just listen to the stump speeches and visit Obama's website and believe everything that you see and hear? Not a good plan for ANY candidate. Try "the google".

I suggest a search of "harper's obama political machine", without quotes. The idea that Obama is not riding the same political train as Clinton is a myth. His style and presentation are different. Much behind the scenes, including his campaign staff, are writ large from Status Quo 'R Us. Support your candidate, but at least know what the heck you are talking about.

Regarding a Clinton/Obama ticket:

A friend of mine came up with this idea and after I thought about it, I believe he might have something.

Why not a compromise? Clinton runs as president and Obama as Vice President, because Clinton can't wait 8 years if Obama goes first. But the compromise is that Clinton only stays in office for 4 years.

This means that Obama, who is young, is only 4 years older when he runs and he virtually runs as an incumbent -- and the bonus is that he gets far more experience during those four years as Vice President.

The final effect? Clinton for 4 years, Obama for 8 years = pretty effective democratic government for 12 years!

You're just jumping to the conclusion that she means VP. She didn't say that. There's alot of ways to serve within an administration.

The insanity on this message board is really astounding. It seems like many Obama supporters have bought the right-wing line about the Clintons, lock, stock and barrel. Obama preaches unity, but too many of his supporters come across as hate-filled, nasty people with little understanding of the political process, and certainly none of the political realities of the past 25 years. I have no problem with Senator Obama. He seems to stand for, more or less, things I can get behind. But he has done a terrible job of making his followers understand that Hillary Clinton is not the devil incarnate. She is a politician, just like Obama is. She has worked hard for mothers and children. She took the boldest steps toward a decent health care program the country has ever seen--and it went down in flames mostly due to her and her husband's inexperience in Washington at the time.

Clinton and Obama have both taken some fairly cheap shots at each other, but that's how politics is played. They both will do anything to win. Obama is proving this by allowing and even feeding the vitriolic hate toward his opponent. If he was truly a different kind of politician, he would be decrying these attitudes loudly and clearly.

The strange blindness of Obama supporters to these simple facts might spell disaster in November. These are two good candidates. They do not hate each other, and they are both strong Party members who will support the other when the time comes. It's time their supporters understood that. This is about beating the destructive policies of the GOP, not about falling for their anti-Clinton propaganda or establishing an uncritcal, tunnel-vision cult of personality around Senator Obama. They both have strong support among the establishment, and their actual policy proposals show that neither one is prepared to buck the system beyond a certain point of acceptability.

I've been following politics carefully for 40 years now, and voting for 35. With all the talk of change, I've noticed nothing in the campaign tactics that isn't politics as usual--from either side. There are reasons for favoring one candidate or the other, but this character assassination of Senator Clinton is unfair, unproductive, and plays directly into the hands of the right wing. To think that their rumors, smears and exaggerated mischaracterizations of the Clintons have gained traction among Democratic voters is a mark of shame on our party.

NHPR's Laura Knoy: "So, if you value the DNC calendar, why not just pull out of Michigan? Why not just say, Hey Michigan, I'm off the ballot?"

Hillary Clinton: "Well, you know, It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything"

I think that is it pretty clear that she has "changed" her position on this now that she is not winning.

HILLARY WILL LOSE, PERIOD. 100% guaranteed. As a native Ohioan, I can assure you, she is as hated in swing states as she is in Republican strongholds. She will lose to McCain and may only carry 2 states. She'll lose MI, OH, PA, FL, IL, ---all have HUGE amounts of Electoral votes. Dukakis/Mondale/& Hillary. Massive losses. Guaranteed. Our country is a shell of it's former self. McCain will only make it worse. Any nominee but Hillary! Please! DEMS MUST WIN. OUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT!

For Hillary to have met with Edwards and to then talk about a potential spot for him in the White House less than 3 days later suggests she has got his endorsement. Which is hardly surprising given that Obama's meaningless rhetoric has become tedious beyond belief for truly committed democrats (Edwards included, I'd hope) who aren't jumping on his bandwaggon of hype, inexperience and empty words.

If Hillary gets the vote. I will vote republican. America would be crazy to give Bill Clinton a third term in office. He is a control freak who wants another shot at the presidency through his less than independent wife. We need to fast forward....not rewind.

I don't believe America have become color blind enough to elect a black president in November.

I could not believe that Hillary could pull Edward to gain more votes and "promise" Edward work in the white House even she has not gotten the nomination. Who does Hillary think she is? Isn't this a illusination? What is Hillary's logic of running for the No. job? Just because her husband was the former president, so she is entitled to be the next president? This does not sund like democracy at all. Didn't John Edward call Hillary the status quo during debate? I never voted for the Clintons and will not vote for her because of her motive. Hillary does not have the integrity to be our President.

She will "call on him".

Yeah, right.

That's not a job. So he sits around wating to be "called on"

She wants his endorsement for free.

Does she think he is stupid?

I agree with the other posters comment:
Clintons will say and do anything to win.

Obama will be the best president for America. He can salvage the America's global image and heal the wounded world.
He can win the war of terror without the blood of American's young service men and women and billion of taxpayers' money. I, believe, Al-Quida will declare unilateral truce, once they feel muslim world is not humiliated and threatened by war-mongering arogant leaders like Bush. Obama can solve global problems through dialogue.

America can rule the world by powerful and strong but compassionate and humble leadership. Obama can fix the economy and the flawed healthcare system easily through withdrawing troops from foreign lands and stopping billion of dollars drained out.

If Clinton thought Edwards was going to endorse Obama, she WOULDNT be singing his name right now. I dont hear her singing the praises of Ted Kennedy or John Kerry.

Give it a rest. John Edwards play was to endorse Obama before Feb 5th, or at least stay in and split delegates to hand em over to Obama.

Edwards is champion of the POOR, which is EXACTLY the people who vote for Clinton. He also has a universal health plan, and Obama does NOT. So there is no way Edwards can claim he stands on the same ground as Obama. Obama is the starbucks crowd. He doesnt get the working mans vote. Unless you are african american of course, then Obama gets that vote by racist default.

I am sure that Edwards is SO IMPRESSED with the fact african americans IGNORED HIM COMPLETELY in his home state of South Carolina.

I am sure Edwards is SO IMPRESSED John Kerry gave him the finger and endorsed OBAMA.

Edwards met with Clinton at his home Friday. He will meet with Obama Monday. Word is that he's close to an endorsment.

Bribing him?? offering the VP in exchange for his endorsement, because she is desperate! Mrs. Clinton, if you love your country, step aside. Let a new er
