Oh, yeah. Big daddy is helping with choosing a VP now. He might just want to move in with Bo.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! OMG, Kennedy used the words "real leadership" and "Obama" in the same sentence!!! Goodness, he must have gotten payment from Obama to say that. Mark my words, DNC: If Obama gets your nomination, I will not only vote Repub for the first time in my life, I will also campaign for McCain. It is no longer an issue of Dem vs Repub, but a matter of saving our country. Obama the dangerous liar can not be put in the white house. THERE ARE MANY WHO FEEL THIS WAY, DO YOU WANT TO RISK OUR VOTE?

Hillary kind of needs it huh? Chances are (because she had a low ceiling in her own "home" state (since she had what 5 "home" states during this primary?)

chances are she won't be able to be re elected next time around.... sad...just sad what a waste.

geevill get a job.

How is it possible to troll all day on every single
thread?

Some people have no life.

hillary is not a moderate democrat...if your definition is calling Barack the extreme...Hillary is right there with them...oh besides she likes to tell the world we will "obliterate Iran" and that the Presidency should have limited restriction from the congress in doing so"

I guess it makes her a hawk so that takes her out of the left wing and puts her in the center...oh that's great.

Kennedy wants to be perceived as a king maker. Maybe he is. He managed to get John McCain a real chance at the White House in an election where the Republicans had a 1 in 5 chance of winning and now it is better than 3 in 5.

Way to go, Teddy. Following in Ol' Joe's footsteps. He went hard left too as Ambassador when he endorsed the Third Reich.

No, Godwin's Law does not apply, Kids.

When you look at who is actually complaining about a joint ticket, its Pelosi and Kennedy.

This means they are the ones pulling the strings behind Obama, and that was what this was really about the whole time.

They want control of the party, and having Hillary on the ticket cramps their style.

Not having her on the ticket puts his chances of winning in serious jepardy however.

He has not won the blue collar white vote. He never has. They are loyal to clinton and Mc Cain is a real alternative to them.

Obama will have to pick some guy who has blue collar appeal, but I highly doubt it will make up for Obamas liberal appeal.

When you have the loser of the nomination running BETTER against Mc Cain and winning all the major primiaries, you would think how easy a choice it would be to pick her.

It just goes to show how full of it the democratic insiders are.

the only three people that got McCain closer to being President

was Bill Hill and Jeremiah.

(and the former two...are still at it)

this relentless and totally unnecessary hateful rhetoric by the elitist fat-cats like kennedy have done more damage to the possibility of 'party unity' come novemeber than all the negative campaigning by both candidates. instead of promoting 'unity' and cohesion they (kennedy, kerry, richardson, pelosi, dean) and other party leaders continue to alienate clinton supporters. thanks, we get the message and we will respond by not supporting obama, the fat-cats, and all endorsers, at the state level as well. i did not leave the party the party left me. democracy before party loyalty, count all the votes.

There can be only one perfect choice. The VP needs to be a strong Democrat. Compassionate, driven, and willing to walk this new path. This candidate also needs to be able to deal with women who will only vote for a woman.
As soon as Obama announces Nancy Pelosi as his running mate, Hillary will be an asterisk in History!

Senator Kennedy sounds as disgusted by the Clintons' campaign tactics as many others are.

A "dream ticket" would pair Senator Obama with someone who has shown the integrity, character, judgment and steadfast leadership (with principles) that he has.

That person may be Webb, or Richardson, or someone completely different. But. Not. Hillary.

Sen. Hillary Clinton should consider running independently! The polls indicate that she can win--she can beat both Obama and McCain in a three way match-up!

the vp choice could be Rendell too.

charleschaplin excellent thought provoking post. thank you

Okay, really can Kennedy just retire. I mean he has never really done anything but feed of JFK reputation. We all know his pass and we all know he is mad at the Clintons. For all we know he may be trying to get the nomination. I feel for Obama because he has sold his soul to the Kennedy's and I am sure Teddy will be collecting.

Let's review the Dems' battle again:

Obama won 10 "black" states and 6 "white" states from primaries and 13 states from caucuses

Hillary won 17 states (most of blue states) from primaries and 1 state from caucus....

The pattern is very clear to either candidate: Hillary won most states from primaries and Obama dominated caucuses..

A good choice would be Edwards since he already has experience with losing in the GE. He'd make a great shoulder for Obama to cry on when he gets humiliated in the GE. Plus he has great hair.

We all may be over - reacting. There are very few people who will consent to be VP - to McCain.
I think the short list is down to Limbaugh. In other words, there's always hope that McCain will do himself in for us.
I can see it now, a prime time debate. Obama, in his customary Obama suit and McCain, resting with his chin on his chest, snoring peacefully.

Didn't Obama already promise the VP slot to Richardson? Or did he just pay off his campaign debt?

Doesn't matter who he chooses, because neither one of them will ever step foot in the White House, unless they are invited by President McCain.
