No ticket that includes anyone with negatives as high as 53 should be considered a dream ticket.

I am hearing Sheryl Crow is in the running as a possible HRC running mate.

Pelosi needs to do her own job and not comment on something that won't be her job, deciding on a VP spot.

Its a good thing she wont be deciding anything.

Pelosi ?????

I will definitely Change party and vote for McCain then.

She must see somethings the rest of us do not see. What would have been a Dem victory in Nov. will not be a Dem. loss come Nov.

This election has gotten to PERSONAL and far to MANY lines have been crossed, TOO much has been said, and blatant ambition on the candidates side and entitlement and stupidity on the voters side stinks!!!... so much so that I do not see the party coming together. Nor do I see other supporters of the other candidate coming together to support the eventual nominee.

Democrats, as has been proven from past elections, are not the brightest people. Some Dems. have proven that what some Repub. say about some Dems. is true, they many (Dem voters) are stupid and would rather chop off their nose to spite their face.

Having said all of that, there is no way ANY Democrat will win come November. Only in America are Democrats so f/ing stupid.

Obama/Pelosi = Dream Ticket.

Now there's a woman who actually worked her way to the top and doesn't need to rely on husbands, nepotism or name-recognition. She is someone we females can actually be wholeheartedly proud of.

The current female presidential hopeful is a joke. What an embarrassment to women everywhere. The first female presidency of the USA is a huge honor and she does NOT deserve it. When the time comes, let this honor be accorded to a woman who actually gets there on her own merits.

There won't be an Obama ticket at all now that his mentor/ministers views are finally being exposed.

Nancy Pelosi doesn't want to see another woman rise to a position higher than her own. She is a terrible speaker, a whiny, wimp of a woman. She and Harry Reid should ride off into the sunset together, that would help the democratic party to be more successful in the future.

if America really want a female president, Nancy is much better than Hillary.

Must be a slow news day... rehash, rehash, rehash...

Obama's pastor is a non-issue.

And who would run with someone as their running mate who once said "shame on you..."?!?

Nancy Pelosi: It's impossible to have a Obama/Hilliary ticket so the democrats would rather cut off their nose to spite their face and LOSE. And it is also impossible to impeach the current President in spite of his crimes and get us out of Iraq, while paving the way for them to nuke Iran and start yet ANOTHER war. Obviously by her own statements she is NOT fit for public office. But then again, she does represent San Francisco. Why would she do anything to hurt her daughters buddy "King George???" The Democrats are enabling this adminstration. The only position they know is... prone!!!

I don't know about a dream-ticket for the Dems. But rest assured: Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama is still highly likly. Let's face, polticians have very thick skin and short memories. Argueably, those are the two most important characteristics one must have to be a politician in America. And both Obama and Clinton are good at what they do. No matter what's said about the other during this campaign season will keep either of them from accepting the other's invitation at a chance to take the White House in the No. 2 spot. Serving as VP is a much bigger position than a junior senator from ILL or NY. If you think Obama and Hillary are fighting dirty against each other for the Commander-in-Chief position, it will nothing in comparison to what they yield against anyone that dare try to take that VP spot from them. I anticipate Race/Gender cards will litter the streets and GOD HELP the person who's on the receiving end of that storm.

Right you are, Madame Speaker. Right you are.

Obama would be certifiably insane ever to allow his wagon to be hitched to hers, or to ask her to join his ticket.

Once he becomes the Democratic nominee, you'll hear no more the name "Hillary."

belle - You said "There won't be an Obama ticket at all now that his mentor/ministers views are finally being exposed." There won't be a Clinton ticket either, not with Bill Clinton as her mentor and chief advisor.

Hillary will not get the nomination, Obama will pick someone who will not draw headlines from him and will boost foreign policy experience. Biden would be ideal. Hillary will run for governor of New York to get chief executive experience.

there are a couple of sexy female democrat governors out there if you want a lady on the ticket.

Obama has admitted himself he was not experienced and his campaign is about the hope and change...

The issue is: he has not been successful to convince half of his Dems that his hope and change will exceed experience as CIC, how can he convince the rest of nation his hope and change can beat experienced McCain while his hope, change and judgment are still under a lot of questions....

If Obama picks someone who has some experience, would Obama be another so called "Dems Bush", the true players are just behind the scene, so why will people elect him than others??

If Dems don't have any clear strategy or idea how to beat McCain, Dems will be beaten again by Reps.. The same case in 2004, the poll showed Kerry could beat Bush easily, but it failed in the end...

Tracey - I agree 100% with your entire 2nd paragraph. The rest... I don't know if I'm ready to accept that just yet - we will see what happens.

For some strange reason, I believe Pelosi is secretly for Obama.

I don't think Sen. Obama would offer Sen. Clinton a vp spot, he has already said that she can't be trusted and will say anything and with that I do think he will lose to McCain. Sen. Clinton would offer Sen Obama the vp spot because she would want to bring the party together. The worse thing she has said about him was that he wasn't experienced enough which she would justify that being the vp will give him that experience.

Everyone should watch Nancy Pelosi in the coming weeks.

She has just become the first female speaker of the House. I imagine this is something she will not want to readily give up. With Hillary at the top of the ticket come November, the Democratic Majority in the House of Reps will be at risk.....and especially at risk in 2010.

If I know wingnuts, and I think I do, they are hoping and praying to have Hillary on the Top of the Ticket. She is the one thing that can unite the Republican Party in Mass in Unity.

Example: See Rush Limbaugh, See Ann Coulter, See Foxnews, etc.

So watch Nancy.

Vanessa, It doesn't matter whether she secretly supports one candidate over another. If she's smart, she'll be evenhanded. Otherwise, she'll have no credibility when it comes time to sort the mess that's bound to occur when the primary season ends and neither candidate has the required number of delegates. In fact, right now people could see Pelosi as part of the problem for not being actively involved in trying to resolve the Florida and Michigan situation. So, my advice is to stop inferring and write letters to the DNC to make sure that voters in Florida and Michigan are heard. It seems however that Obama and his people are afraid that the vote won't turn out favorably for him. He needs to address the perception that he's stalling/sabotaging efforts for a redo because if this isn't addressed it will be one more thing contributing to a GOP win in November.

Wow. If Obama says Clinton is 'polarizing' , 'unelectable' , 'cannot be trusted' 'old school' blah blah blah....why do obama freaks get mad when she says he isnt ready to be president?? Its like a quadruple standard. Get a life.

Pelosi has not accomplished any bipartisanship as Speaker. She has rolled over to allow Republican initiatives to pass and failed to get Democratic initiatives of any substance past committee. She seems to spend most of her time changing the menu and Congressional workplace into a healthy environment. What about the rest of the country in need of so many positive changes? She is all... just words.

Get a grip on reality, folks. Try, for just a second or two, to see past the politically skewed hype suggesting that the Democratic party will not self destruct, even with political opportunity literally knocking down the door.

Tonight, most recent CNN polls show that 53% of Americans support the American military mission in Iraq until the job is complete. In other words, finish the job you started, and don't waste the lives of Americans already sacrificed in this war.

The two Democratic presidential contenders suggest that we should expitiditiously (Clinton) or immediately (Obama) withdraw all military forces from the Iraq theater.

Did Bush decisions and policies fail Americans and Iraqis? Americans repute the White House tactics of misinformation and fear. Without Bush policies did fail.

But ,once again, the Democratic presidential candidates, in a headlong charge over a cliff of divisive and stubborn ignorance, promote two losing proposals.

Should anyone be surprised?

And, why put Clinton and Obama on the same ticket?

Do Americans need two reasons to not vote for a Democratic ticket?

First he's a fairy tale.
Then it's shame, shame Obama.
She criticizes him for his oratory skills.
And mocks him for being able to inspire others.
Then he is not qualified to answer the Whitehouse phone.

Just how hypocritic is this?

Why would he want to tether himself to an anchor, when he is the sail of the ship?

Palosi is one smart lady she understands that Clinton has gone beyond the pale with her negative, dishonest campaign and that most people are in support of her.

Physically and mentally white and black human beings are more alike then males and compared to females. None of us can deny that! At least 50 per cent of the American population are women. Of course it is their turn this time! How many per cent are black, white, yellow ....etc? Women must not be discriminated against on the "labour market"! FRIENDS - IT IS NOT IN ANY RESPECTS RACISM!

kardasia prime perhaps you have slept through some of the things Hillary has said about Obama such as mcCain has more experience, don't forget the MLK remarks, don't forget the sarcasm about being nothing but a speech, don't forget about not being capable of answering the phone, her campaign compared him to Ken Starr just to name a few so why would he want to ber her vp and if she feels he doesn't have enough experience why would she want him to be her Vp which is a "heartbeat from presidency" If anything happens to President Vp steps in... Hillary realizes she needs him to win and also it is another one of her ploys to get people to vote for her by enticing them to believe they can get two for the price of one; they can get two for one two Clintons...

An Obama-Clinton dream team would be out of the question, for two reasons:

1. Hillary and her husband Bill are inextricably joined at the hip. Choosing Hillary as Obama’s running mate would mean choosing Bill as well. And given the Clintons’ unquenchable thirst for power, they would not be inclined to play-second fiddle, especially to someone who wrested from them the political prize they had taken for granted. From day one the Clinton duo would be scheming to
to usurp control of the Presidency.

2. The news media have made much of Obama’s ties with his pastor, but until a student questioned Chelsea Clinton about the Monica Lewinski affair and someone produced a video debunking Hillary’s account of her dodging sniper bullets in Bosnia, hardly any mention was made in the media of the Clintons’ past. Come general elections, however, one can expect that McCain’s handlers or, if not them, his supporters in the Blogosphere will dredge up the well-documented lies, sleaze and corruption that have marked the Clintons since they teamed up 38 years ago.

Clearly, an Obama-Clinton “dream ticket” is a sure formula for losing the general election. Some voters may still think that the Clintons are for real, but once they know the truth and see through them, they’ll be bolting to McCain, or staying home the day of the election.

My advice to the powers-that-be in the Democratic Party: Dump the Clintons. They are a liability. They no longer bring anything of value to the table, if they ever did.
