OBAMA & Hagel 2008...Has a nice ring to it and would result in a landslide victory over McBush.

The exodus of superdelegates to Obama in order to unify the party has angered me considerably and others. I truly hope John McCain is our next President, he deserves it, oblama does not. Oblama does not inspire confidence, he makes me shake in fear. Hillary was our best choice. Do you remember the tshirts that had the "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" well this mama ain't happy and millions of others are like me, we are voting to keep Oblama OUT! Thank you, keep your day job.

Great. After hagel loses maybe Tom Osbourne will come back.

Obama/Hagel

how sweet the sound!

You go boy

I think "The Obama Web" has a better ring.

After 40 years of voting the democratic ticket, I'm out of here! The party no longer represents true values. The likes of Kennedy and Pelosi make me ill. They are heading down the road to socialism.

I do not believe Obama speaks for himself. Rather, he says what Dean and company tell him to say.

Hagel would be wonderful for the ticket!

He brings Foreign Policy, Viet Vet himself, and pro-life (hint hint Catholics)and moderate conservatives.

ALSO to disenfranchise and justme2see:

STOP DRINKING HRC koolaid. It's not sweet anymore.

BO's koolaid use real organic sugar. That's why it taste very sweet and leaves a great taste in your mouth

We are one people, we are one nation. Obama/Hagel rings very well in our ears.

What a golden ticket for Obama this would be. Getting crusty GOPer Chuck Hagel to join forces with "liberal" and "elitist" Obama? McCain's nightmare...

You get wrong. They are not heading down the road to socialism. They are communists who place the party over people.

They are of the party, for the party, and by the party.

Nope! Nothing tells us that they are still for the people, of the people and by the people.

Hagel is anti war so he would fit right in.

I still haven't figured out how all you hillary supporters blame others for Obama winning. People are voting for the positive, for unity. But you hillary supporters sound like you're for the status quo, the slice and dice, the continual divide.

Remember....this man won 12 states in a row! Those numbers pushed hillary off the block. He is winning fair and square, so you guys need to stop whining like someone done you wrong.

Why would anyone vote to keep Obama out? This man is trying to unite ALL OF US, not just a chosen few.

We are supposed to be the United States of America, not the 10 Big States of America, not the Top 2% States of America, not even the 97% White States of America....
We're ALL Americans, pledging to the same stars and stripes.

Yeah this should bring unity to bad they still don't know what to do about the sixty percent of the women. who are behind clinton. this was a set up on Dec. 30 2007 in OK and it is a set which should worry everyone because the media was in on the this. we are no longer free or safe.IMO

Ok bishop, so you are one of those falling on the fear side of this election.

I'm a woman, that just happened to vote for Obama.
I'm also a military woman. I think Obama/Hagel would be great for this country. Stop with the fear, mysogyny, racism. We need to get back to basics and move this country forward.

Will never vote for BO, Hillary do not agree to be his vp. You are better than that. The DNC is no more, we should just bury it.

Teddy Kennedy will NEVER have that. You folks are dreaming.

Obama/Hagel would be great. It would be the first solid example of Obama's commitment to unifying this country.

MCCain have a hard time picking up real republican support, And that was shown in the last primary where Huckabee and ron paul pick up a chunk of voters.

If Barack select Hagel ..this would NEUTER McCain further.

McCain wants to carry on the NEO_CONS policy of Bush and that dont sit well with REAL REPUBLICANS.

Hagel is anti-choice.
That's how to chase the rest of the women away!

We only have two party's now so one would be better NIMO

Interesting....Hagel is considered anti-choice, but Obama is pro-choice.

Its called common ground folks, we have it, lets use it.

Everytime a superdelegate endorses oblama for the unity of the party, for me it just drives another wedge and further splits the party. I am voting McCain and proud to, since the DNC took Hillary out.

Great, let Hagel be the Eagleton/Shriver to Obama' McGovern.

He must have a superdelegate every two hours to trot out nothing like stealing the election before everyone votes I guess if you are being paid very well from the fat-cats and Obama it just shows pol. can be bought I have very little respect for a party I have been in for thirty five years.

It does not have any thing to do with race for me I think Hillary would make a better president and I am tierd of being called Racist maybe they can call us other people voted for Hillary it is women who are voting for her.

How Obama will overcome all the bad
TV 24/7 commercials againsts him and
his wife?????????
Rweminds me Kerry and the swiftboaters.

WOW, Obama/Hagel would be a really interesting ticket. I can't imagine anybody mc-more-war could pick to top that. Obama 2008!!!

PT...none of the candidates are perfect, but since the DNC has ruled Hillary out, McCain is the best we now have.

Yahoo just broke news that Clinton and Obama will be in Washington today, and it sounds like the Obama camp has realized that there is no way he will win the GE without Hillary as Vice President. I bet she's laughing her ### off about this because she still has power over the dweeb Obama!

Wesley Clark? Are the Clintons paying him to run again? Hagel? Gee if we want to commit suicide why not Romney or Bush?

justme, Hillary will soon be telling all her supporters to support Obama. If they really respect her they will follow her wishes. The educated voter knows that Hillary & Obama's policies are very similar and that a Hillary supporter moving over to mc-more-war makes no sense at all. Obama 2008!

pt, Hillary will run as an Independent before she wants her supporters to vote for Obama. If she does, he definitely won't win, because she will take half of America's votes with her. He'll still get the little 13% black vote. He realizes this, that is why his camp is trying to "romance" Hillary now for the VP position. She won't take it. Obama is going to lose....like it has been said, he's and "empty suit".

clinton has power over Obama???
Now THAT'S funny!

pt.
You're right.
Always there are two sides of the story.
And McCain will have his 24/7 TV/ commercials.I'm curious how the voters
will react.

pt, I VOTED for Harold Ford, Jr, I am not racist, but Oblama is!

Obama supporters think that Clinton was ruthless...you have not seen anything yet, if Obama is the nominee. The GOP will not leave any stone unturned.....Rev. Wright, Rezko, Ayers, NAFTA lie, race, etc, etc, etc, will dominate our TV screens of the negativities of Obama. He will be like a hurt puppy with his tail between his legs when the GOP machine gets thru with him. Added to this, is his "hate-filled" wife that hates America....yeah, she would be a good first lady....go figure!

So you want to attack his wife too?

Some of you hillary supporters need some serious help.

Contrary to stupid belief, all black people are not hateful. We don't speak hate when we engage in conversation.

I love it!
Chuck Hagel (R) is not like rest of R s.
He should be in Obama's short list.
I wish Obama considers him.

And just like a clinton supporter jack, the more you talk the more disingenuous you become.
You now spew all of hillary's deceit and dishonesty in this race.

I understand you don't like Obama. But as it stands right now, Obama is winning and is considered the presumptive nominee. And I'm really sorry that bothers you so much.

Well, since Obama is what the democrats are offering, I am voting republican.

Right jack....I know people of all races that support Obama, and I know people of all races that don't.

You're starting to sound more and more like sean hannity. Michelle Obama speaks her experience that is America. You keep attacking her for speaking truth. And I noticed the positive response she receives, from ALL races on her perspective.
It's time to stop moving the bar for ALL americans.

REALITY CHECK:
=============
NO ULTRA LEFT WING LIBERAL EVER
WON THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!

GENERAL ELECTIONS ARE DIFFERENT
BALLGAME.

TXmama, yes the republicans have welcomed me with open arms. Thank you.

McCain, the sane vote!!!

Oh throw all the VP wanabees out there, try the whole kitchen sink full of them. DNC must see what or who will stick.
Stop the blather it does not matter, millions of us will NEVER vote BO no matter who is on the ticket.

HP Boston....GREAT POST!!!!! Obama will NEVER win in the GE......the cards are stacked against him.....even his coherts, Pelosi, Kennedy, Dean, and Kerry can't save the election for him!

Good Riddance!
Hagel has been acting like a Democrat
for years! That's why he didn't dare
run for the GOP nomination.
What a great ticket that would be,
Obama/Hagel! Yeah I'm sure Hagel would
deliver Nebraska to the Dems! LOL!

Dont fuss with the Hillary supporters.They are having a hard time adjusting to the reality. Unity, unity, unity. Give 'em a ((hug)), not a hit over the head.

Obama 08

This is hilarious "filler" material.

And all of you who are saying it would be a great ticket, can pick up your paychecks at the end of the month!

Can you really see the Dem elders supporting such a decision? For heaven's sake, moderate Democrats are under attack by members of their own party for supporting Hillary.

The most progressive Dems would surely go into a frenzy if this fiction ever came to be.

Two points for a distracting "filler" story.

I'm a 57 year old white woman. I remember lots of decades ago when women used to be stereotyped for being vengeful. That hasn't been so prevalent for a long time now. We don't have to see it played out in every sit com any more---until now. What is so evil about the democratic process. The people have chosen and the super dels are going with the people. Hillary supporters--Do you honestly believe that Obama has been more unkind in the things he's said then Hillary has been? Do you remember I'm qualified but Obama gave a speech? There are a lot of those comments out there. Would you really choose to send my children and yours to die in a wrong war so that you can have revenge because your candidate didn't win in a fair fight? I think we as women as better than that. I think you're better than that. And I think we'll all come to our senses when we finally let the anger go. I know that I've been angry when unkind things have been said about my candidate, but I always remembered that what the republicans have to offer means death and suffering for a great many people. Please, let's not take on the mantle of the male warrior to the extent that we forget to own the feminine caretaker and mother.

Stop lying to yourselves. Any democrat that votes for Mccain because Obama is the nominee is a Hypocrite. Be willing to send your kids and grandkids to Irak for the next 100 years. Keep borrowing money from our enemies to pay for the war and make Chaney and Haliburton richer. Do not complain for the next 8 years of Mccain Presidency. If he decides to start a third war with Iran you must ask your children and grand children to volunteer if you cannot do it yourself.

Talk about real change. Obama/Hagel? A Democrat and a moderate Republican together. It's as close to a fusion ticket as one could get. It's too good to pass up. Hagel would be a perfect fit for him. Make this happen.

Obama/Hagel would be unbeatable. As an independent voter who normally chooses the democrat candidate, I voted for Chuck Hagel for senator. He's honest, even when the truth hurts. He's got integrity and compassion. His foreign policy experience is second to none and the respect he garners from both sides of the aisle can't be denied. I don't feel comfortable with any of the 3 candidates running for the office of president, but if any of the nominees put Chuck Hagel on the ticket, they've got my vote.

I can't understand how people who say Bush is doing an awful job can turn around and say "I'm going to vote for McCain".

I'm not saying either Obama or Hilary are some miracle answer to our problems, but McCain is a nightmare. Seriously, the thought of that guy running this country makes my soul shake and I'll have zero problems with moving to Canada if he's elected. I'll watch the US crumble on Canadian TV.

"A senior adviser to Republican presidential candidate John McCain said on Tuesday that he was stepping down to keep a commitment he made not to campaign against Democrat Barack Obama."

For all those who think that Obama cant beat McCain this November. There you go.
Obama is ALREADY beating McCain
