Obama would lose my vote if Hillary Clinton is anywhere near that ticket. Foxnews would have a blast.

Hillary carries too much of the 90s scandals and God knows what esle. Her terroist ties, Black panthers, the Mysterious death of those whom were to testify against the Clintons, the women, and the fraud cases.

Whomever is advising Obama should seriously think hard about putting Hillary on the ticket.

HILLARY AS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE ? YES !!!

Would it matter if Clinton were the undisputed (or even disputed) popular-vote winner? That's hard to say. The question is, matter to whom? The superdelegates will determine the nominee and there's no telling what will sway them. They have no objective criteria from which to make their decisions. But if they were to deny the popular-vote champ the nomination, there is a real question of whether Democratic voters would reconcile themselves to the decision. As it is, much of the talk about Democratic defections in November has been overstated.

We know that Barack has made a deal with people like Bill Richardson and John Eduards: support in exchange for future jobs.

But Hillary is different because she knows that she is far more qualified to be president... It is likely that this nomination process will go on for a while, I don't see the issue of Florida and Michigan resolved because we have to demand that all the votes count!

In the end she will have the popular vote, so why not also ask will he want to be her VP? Although all these questions are pointless until we resolve the issue of the delegates. She will win the popular vote, he will win the pledged delegates. So it is in the hands of the superdelegates. My opinion is that given the fact that so many delegates has been won by a caucus process that is blatantly anti-democratic, the validity of the popular vote is stronger and the superdelegates must ensure that the popular vote is respected. If Barcak was white this is the likely outcome. But as Geraldine said if Barack was white he would not be where he is, so the superdelagates are likely to vote for him. This argument is not racist, but it is a complain against favoring race over gender, that is so blatantly used in favor of a black person and against a woman person. I hope that the leaders of the democratic party show that they are better than that and support Hillary!!

Choosing Hillary as a running mate would GREATLY help to sooth ruffled feathers in the Hillary camp! Yes, we would rather Hillary be on top of the ticket but as my grandmother use to say: "The man may be the head of the (White) House but the woman is the neck that turns the head!" (And, maybe this is exaclty what Obama is afraid of...Hillary's power?)

It is this looming prospect which explains the tremendous pressure Obama partisans and the media are putting on Clinton to drop out of the race. They want her gone now because they understand that she has an excellent chance of finishing as the undisputed people's choice. Hillary will be the nominee.

Lost in the excitement of Barack Obama's coronation this week was an inconvenient fact of Tuesday's results: Hillary Clinton netted approximately 150,000 votes and is now poised to finish the primary season as the popular-vote leader. In some quaint circles, presumably, these things still matter.

HP Boston - grow up.

Now why would Hillary want to be that fools VP? Shoot, even Ray Charles can see the GOP is in stitches that the Dems are going to nominate this ugachucker. Let him slip on the banana peel all by himself.

Clinton's path is both obvious and simple: Win the popular vote and force Barack Obama and his cheerleaders to explain why that doesn't matter.

When 2.3 million votes in Floria and Michigan are counted and the primaries are finished, Clinton will be less than 40 delegates behind Obama but will have won the popular vote by a confortable margin.

Take it to the floor Hill!

Obama loses the electoral college by the way and Clinton wins it by a mile. Go to electoral-vote.com and see for yourself.

Clinton should be the dem nominee or dems don't really want the white house that much.

Well...you know the rest of the story: chads, lawsuits, Supreme Court briefs, outrage, heartbreak, regret. Mostly, though, the injustice of it all.

The injustice was wrenching. Our popular vote winner lost the White House over a handful of votes in the swing state of Florida even though he won more votes nationwide. There you have it. Reality sunk in and George Bush moved into Al's house on Pennsylvania Avenue.

You all know what this means: A Republican presidency. WAKE THE F.UCK UP, DNC! WAKE THE F.UCK UP, SUPERS! Obama will lose in a landslide to McCain in November.

All this talk about exit strategy and vp position is clearly intended to sabotage Sen. Clinton's campaign; she is winning the popular vote and on track to be the Democratic presidential nominee.

The uncommitted superdelegates will show wisdom, integrity and courage in using their independent judgment to select Sen. Clinton as the best qualified and strongest candidate to defeat McCain and win the general election without regard to any "delegate math". Sen. Clinton will be the Democratic presidential nominee. Obama may very well be on her short list of candidates for the vp position.

Melanie is exactly right. Hillary has won 7 out of the last 10 primaries and she netted 150,000 more votes than Obama on Tues. How can Obama keep delcaring himself the winner? It it so arrogant and downright rude. If Hillary is ahead in the popular vote after 6/3 and the electoral vote for the GE still favors her as much as it does right now, then let them have to explain why she shouldn't be the nominee. I still think there is more to come out about the Obamas which will hurt them more with the GE.

"The Democrats have a
thing that whoever gets the most rats wins." Obama has been losing
steam since February and loses hugely in Kentucky so a few of the Super
Delegates declare for him. Huh, these goobers might be on to something.

I'm one of those hard working middleclass white males voting for Obama, but if Clinton is on his ticket, forget it.

Ed - "We know that Barack has made a deal with people like Bill Richardson and John Eduards: support in exchange for future jobs. " This may or may not be true. Do you have any proof?

If Obama is so much for "change" and is not part of the "system", how could he not stand up to his own party for punishing MI/FLA for having the audacity of bucking the "system"? Answer: because he is PART of the system and won't rock the cradle, just like Hillary! VOTE U.S. Constitution or Libertarian if you want REAL change!!! F##k Republicans and Democrats- they're the same people selling us out!

Susan - "How can Obama keep delcaring himself the winner?" I actually have never heard Senator Obama declare this. Do you have somewhere you can direct me that quotes him saying that?
