I don't think Obama will choose Biden as a running mate, at least I hope he doesn't. As for Hillary, I don't see her dropping out, she will go to the Convention. Regardless, this has been a year!

Joannie....I have to agree with you. Regardless of what people think, Hillary still holds the keys to the White House in her hands.

so....East cost, I read that story when it originally ran. he lobbied for local businesses, those businesses weere successful and in turn supported the candidate that helped them. No crime was committed. Now if you want to look at supporters how about the foreign governments that are both high dollar supporters of both the McCain and Clinton campaigns? Particularly those supporters that are agents of the Saudi government? $130,000 over 7 years really isn't very much.

He's staying neutral because he is going to be the VP.

dl, do you think Biden would be a good VP pick?

when they were all in NH and I was still a supporter of this selfish senator from NY... Biden was awesome on knowledge.

and the most sincere...along with Obama, Dodd and McCain.

No one was more suited to take the reigns of this country if something happened to the president.

Clinton, Biden and Obama were the three I campaigned for...unitl I realized from seeinf them all several times that she wasn't who I thought she was.

The other two definitely were.

Just listened to Obama commenting on news about Sen. Kennedy's terrible diagnosis.

Yet again, it's all about him (Obama). and disturbingly, he talks about Kennedy in the past tense.

Yuck! What an egotistical jerk Obama is.

Don't give HRC too much credit or power. Her base is shrinking and at this point is hurting the chance for the next woman. She is down to calling everyine that did not vote for her a sexist. She has burned through Bill's clout. Under any scenario that she could concieveably get the nomination at this point would lose the general election. She could have beaten John Edwards if it had been the two of them. She was out campaigned, plain and simple. She does not help Obama as a VP because the people at her base now, won't vote for him because he is either black, male, or both. I'd be very surprised if she got re-elected to her senate seat. I would nto be surprised if she switched back to being a Republican.

My two cents

I somewhat agree...but his actions over the past week are setting him up ...first he has shown he can be the attack dog

he already had the knowledge and the gravitas...

he is not a strategic choice by states and if he is not the VP he is going to be on the team (it would be stupid for him not to be...he is the smartest guy as far as the issues we face in washington right now)

but also the fact that he is not backing obama speaks to my intuition that he is trying to keep the Hillary anger at bay shall he be picked.

but just this week alone...you can see him helping....and while everyone else was wrapped up in the primary he has been working and staying really relevant in the issues facing this election.

I think he may be the VP.

Hang tough Hillary! The boys are still trying to push you out. Never, ever back Obama, go independent, we got your back.
Binen and fifty others are panting like puppies for the VP slot. BO has promised everyone, he now will be confused and want the gov from the 57th state!
There is no way women will vote for Obama, Biden and the rest can beg all they want WE ARE NOT VOTING OBAMA, NEVER!!! ANYONE BUT OBAMA, ANYONE!!
OBAMA IS THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO THE DNC and AMERICA! REV WRIGHT IS THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO OBAMA.

You are in the minority...

most Clinton supporters are smart and noble

they don't vote out of spite. They vote out of what is best for the issues they have fought for and out of hope.

Just because the only woman running out of ten men does not mean she was the right candidate.

and most Hillary supporters as frustrated as they are and sad...know that.

Mention of Joe Biden brings back early memories of this Democrat party campaign.
It was a real quandary to decide who to support. Biden, Richardson, Dodd, Clinton and Obama; all worthy candidates in my mind. I have my preference but would welcome either of the two remaining candidates as president.

Please tell me how many people were polled of Hillary's base that were switching from her to BO. I seriously doubt that it was a signifcant amount after she crushed him in WVA and will probably do the same in KY. You will say that these are racist & uneducated people but they are not dumb enough to listen to the crap that BO & his wife spew or vote for him.

Obama made two different speeches on the threat of Iran to two different audiences on the SAME DAY! In Montana, Obama said Iran is a grave threat. In Oregon, the SAME DAY, Obama said that Iran is not a serious threat. This man is not qualified to be president. Superdelegates wake up and start doing your job instead of holding out your hands for the Obama cash!

I voted for Clinton in the primary but will never vote for Obama. We are the real deal .

DMK...if Hillary is so great and Obama cannot win, why isn't SHE winning against this first term Senator who no body knew a year ago ? Why is she behind in delegates and why is she NOW behind in superdelegates? What is the problem, and what makes anyone think she can get elected if she cannot carry both the red and blue states. Anyone got answers?

I hope Hillary runs as an independent candidate.

Why not? Lieberman did it.

I'm a life-long Democrat, but there is no way I'm voting for Neo-Socialist Obama.

latinlover1.....at one time, true dems would vote for the dem nominee, no matter what. This year, with the DNC basically ripping the Dems to pieces, this is not true....even the PRO OBAMA news network, CNN, feel this way. The emotions are too high, Clinton has more electoral votes than obama, and she has an extremely strong backing. Even if she tries to unite the party, her followers will not vote for obama. he is unelectable, still "shady", and will be vetted extremely hard by the GOP in the fall, IF he is the nominee. Sorry, but thats the way it is.

I hope Clinton does not "embrace" Obama.
The way the press and the elite in Washington have handled this primary, I hope the democratic party is broken. I was a democrat, now republican.

Hillary's supporters and there are many of us are not going away or voting Obama can you say McGovern that would be your guy I have seen 3 such elections in the last thirty five years and I will bet you the kids that are at the rally's won't all be voting and many blue collar workers won't be voting for Obama and the next time you need a plummer or an electrican call a latte egg head to fix it with only 6% of the population making above $85,000 I would say the working class out number the latte drinkers. Could be why Kerry,Kennedy,Mcgovern etc can never get in.
