Please keep in mind that Senator Obama has to trust his running mate. Also, he needed someone with foreign policy experience and with name recognition. He needed someone who appeals to the working class. He needed someone who could respectfully disgree with him and work toward a solution. Senator Biden meets those credentials.

Senator Clinton served as First Lady for eight years. Are you included 8 years as first lady as her political experience. Also, the Clinton's would bring negativity and scandal to the ticket. Senator Clinton said and did things during the primary that gave McCain ammunition. Please follow politics, think and observe. Be objective not subjective.

Yes you are one of the very few.

Now will Obama insist that Biden drop out of his Senate race?

Such a great pick Obama had to wasit until 3 a.m. to announce it.

Think! What a glorious day for Clinton voters and McCain supporters.

I extremely glad Obama chose Biden.

I can't wait for the debates. Especially the VP debate. Biden will wipe Romney clean.

God bless America with Obama/Biden leading..The best combination also for the good of this world.

Rolland, what change will Obama bring to this country? He does already against his principle by picking a running mate who has been in Washington for 36 years.

A true Democratic wouldn’t leave his party because his/her candidate of choice for VP or President isn't chosen. If you stand for something and have ideas and principles, great. Most people who take politics seriously understand how politics affects our everyday lives (social, economic, foreign relations, our institutions, to name a few)

Voting is a right and a privilege. Understand what you are voting for. Study the issues.

I agreed. I'm not leaving the party but I will support a good candidate rather than a party incase the party is heading the wrong track. I wish Dem will have a good cleanup after Obama lost in November.

Obama picked a mentor as his VP, a potential Prime Minister like Cheney is to Bush. A solid pick and good adviser but he has not pulled votes on the national stage. I do not think he really helps Obama to win the election. He accentuates Obama's liberal credentials and ties to the northeast Kennedy clique. It's not an "out-of-the-box" pick.

Obama made the announcement at 3AM - he wanted to prove he could handle a 3AM call. He just got it backwards on which way the call was supposed to be - incoming not outgoing.

and yes if you don't think Caroline Kennedy is going to be running for Senator of MA or NY...
you should learn it...

Ahhhhhhhh the dream team, reminds of the Carter/ Mondale ticket of 76

Everyone in the world with a TV or computer already know who he is going to pick last night. What a joke? Only the stupid person like my lead at work give him the cell number.

aw tim, what's wrong, you don't like the age of text messages. Get used to it. This is how people communicate now except for old geezers like McGoo who have no idea how to even use the computer.

He might get a big check from Cell Companies. Good ad.

The suspense was hard to take!

OK, so now HALF of the guessing game is over. As soon as McCain makes his choice public, we can look forward to two more months of those wonderful attack ads (from both sides).

McCain's trying to cover his base on abortion before picking Romney- Governor Flip and Senator Flop versus Obama and Biden.

LEt me make this clear I am 100% HIllary support and Democrat but I am voting for McCain. This is the final straw, Biden is the same old washington politics and Obama is nonsensical and never says anything but hope and change much like Bubba could only talk about Shrimp. the DNC is LAME they had this election without much effort might still but for me why waste my time when McCain is actually respectable and says something besides two words.

Assignment for a good investigative reporter. Find out how many of these Clintonites for McCain there really are out there. I suspect it's a tiny number -- as small as the Nader fringe. Many people who post on sites like this are, I am sure, Republicans posing as disappointed Clinton supporters. How do I know this? If Clinton had anything like the continuing support that it appears she has from looking at comment sections on blogs, she'd have raised more than a paltry 1 million in July and only tens of thousands on the day that her supposed diehards were going to put together a "money bomb." The so-called "PUMA" movement may be one of the best political hoaxes ever unleashed. A reporter could get a prize for showing how thin the movement is and how much of it is a mirage created by Republican operatives.

Why would anyone be upset that it's Biden and not Hillary. He has her beat with foreign policy experience. So why would she be better than him.
