Obama probably doesn't even know himself. He cannot make a decision.

McCain talks about selecting a "pro-choicer" and there is talk about the party imploding. Obama considers an inexperienced, "anti-choice" candidate (Kaine) and nobody says anything. What is wrong with this picture? Where are the party activists to say "no way, no how"? So much for "liberals" controlling the Democratic party.

It leaked and it's Hillary

who cares at this point.

purely phony business by a pure Phony.

I think we'll know Friday, when the Obama campaign said we'll know.

Nobody is pro-abortion. It's a nasty business indeed. But it doesn't matter if a candidate is pro-choice or pro-life - Roe v. Wade isn't going away. Not even Bush in his 8 years and all the conservative Supreme Court Justices could make a difference. You can't legislate morality. A woman has to decide for herself whether to have a child - the President, the Vice President and the Supreme Court cannot decide for her - and making it illegal won't make it go away either. It's sad, for certain. But woman have got to control their own behavior and try to prevent conception if they are not ready for child-rearing. It's basically that simple.

The USS Obama Titanic keeps lumbering along. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, George Soros and the other unrepetent terrorists, America-haters, racists and felons that Obama has partnered with the last 20 years are enjoying drinks on the deck, laughing and speculating about what will be on the menu for their first dinner in the White House.

But there is an iceberg ahead.

After November, when people talk about colossal failures, they will mention the movies “Ishtar” and “Heaven’s Gate” – and the Obama campaign.

Geevil:

And even if he does make a decision by this weekend, he will change his mind all over again at least four or five times between now and the end of the convention next week.

geecee - you did make a key point. Outlawing abortion (or more precisely, giving states the option to do that) will just set up a black market for abortions. And that will come with all the horrors we experienced before in the "back alleys."

You also are certainly correct that the solution is to avoid conception until ready. However, history also tells us that isn't going to happen.

McCain should pick someone his equal in brains and ability. Someone like Gov. William J. LePeomaine. ;-)

Actually I know both picks, but just don't want to tell you guys.

Given Obama's past history, chances are he will announce his VP pick and then see what the polls say. He will then continue to switch his choice until he finds someone the pollsters say will help him win.

Sadly, that person will be Hillary Clinton.

" She pointed out that McCain reacted too quickly with "aggressive and bellicose" rhetoric on the Russia-Georgia crisis, and contrasted that with Obama's measured response to the dust-up."

Are you kidding me??? McCain could answer DECISIVELY because he understand the Georgia conflict, and Russia's ambitions.

Obama kept having to guess at what to say until FINALLY he reached McCain's position.

And they are using this as an example of why Obama is better??? LOL

Bhrandon:

Uhhh....no.....mmmmm.....The moron is the one who claims the answer to a vital question on a vital issue in a presidential campaign is:
uh, uh, uh, "Above my pay grade" uhh...duh...mmmm.....

Interesting to note Ralph Nader said that McCain destroyed Obama at Saddleback.

I bet Nader is also tired of seeing a candidate REFUSE to debate and REFUSE to take determinate positions that he won't switch every other week.

Who is Barack Obama?? 1 year and we still don't know. The Barack Obama of today is VERY VERY different than the Barack Obama of 1 year ago. Where will he be in 3 months? 6 months?

Barack Obama of 2007:
- I will aggressively pursue a publicly financed campaign.
- I will meet without preconditions leaders of rogue nations
- I will NOT drill, I am an environmentalist to the core
- I am the most radical pro choicer in Senate, and support partial birth abortions gone awry to be carried through to completion.

Barack Obama of 2008:
- I will not agree to a publicly financed campaign
- I will meet with leaders of rogue nations with "preparations" (??). ok, I wouldn't meet with Ahmenijad himself.
- OK, maybe I'd drill.
- Regarding abortion rights......give me a few more weeks, I need to see what the polls say.

Vital issue? Please! Non-issue is more like it.

If you love Senator Barack Obama enough to join his fan club you'll love higher taxes, massive federal spending, government-run health care and higher gas prices. Despite Senator Obama's lack of experience and readiness to lead, he's still considered dreamy and deserves an amazing fan club - he just doesn't deserve to be our next president.

Empty Slogans are for Kool Aid drinkers

JA,

Do you get paid to lie, or just do it for fun? Sad and pathetic little troll.

BTW - McCain supports brining back the draft. Said so today. Hope your friends and family are the first to go!

Oh he will reintroduce the draft, but the kids of those making $5,000,0000 a year or more will be exempt. Can't have the future of America wasted in a war.

mccain's own kids are in iraq.....says more about his character as opposed to that of dubya....

without Hillary, obama will not win....with her, he has a chance....

McCain doesn't even know who is fighting who in the Middle East. All he wants is war, war, war! Is that what we want for our children? I don't. I want good schools, affordable healthcare, and secure, good paying jobs. The Republicans don't give a hoot about regular Americans and you fools who buy into their propoganda are being used. Just say no to McCain!

STOP REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION !

vote DEMOCRATS FOR 2008 !

chris,

Nice try, but do you realize the level of hatred the Repubs have for Hillary and Bill? Add that to the half of the Dem party who distrust her.

Today McCain was asked at a town-hall meeting if he was preparing to choose a pro-choice running mate. After several sentences reiterating his OWN position on the subject, he explained to the poor woman that the job of a VP is to break ties in the Senate. Not exactly "No ma'am, my VP will be as pro-life as I am," now, is it.

And by the way, geevil, I think the difference is that Obama's "anti-choice" VP wouldn't be a heartbeat away from a 72 year-old cancer survivor.

It's really very simple: Were Obama to choose Hillary Clinton as his VP, the election would be a landslide victory for Obama/Clinton.
However, I don't think he will choose her for several reasons:
1. He doesn't want to be upstaged. I think a lot of people would be more interested in Clinton's take on a given policy decision rather than Obama's.
2. Obama's pride is in the way of his choosing her.
3. He might be criticized for resorting to politicians of the "old school" (incidentally, I believe the force of his "new kind of politics" has worn off and we now see him for what he is - just another typical politician).

llama....their hatred is so great, they are unable to beat the Clintons, despite their worst efforts....

I know who McCain & Obama's vice president choices will be.

I hope Obama chooses Biden. lol

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NGRhNzJlMWY5NjdiNzhjMTRkYjMzNjYwOGJmYzNjMTY=

Biden appearing on The Daily Show, August 2, 2005: “John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who...”

On Meet the Press, November 27, 2005: “I’ve been calling for more troops for over two years, along with John McCain and others subsequent to my saying that.”

Assessing Obama’s Iraq plan on September 13, 2007: “My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an epiphany” of peaceful coexistence among warring sects. “I’ve seen zero evidence of that.”

Speaking to the New York Observer: Biden was equally skeptical — albeit in a slightly more backhanded way — about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

December 11, 2007: “If Iowans believe campaign funds and celebrity will fix the debacle in Iraq, put the economy on track, and provide health care and education for America’s children, they should support another candidate,” said Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro. “But I’m confident that Iowans know what I know: our problems will require experience and leadership from Day One. Empty slogans will be no match for proven action on caucus night.”

Obama will probably pick Scratch Coconut and John McCain will likely pick Onnie Grayback.

These are just too good:

Also that night, Biden said in a campaign ad, “When this campaign is over, political slogans like ‘experience’ and ‘change’ will mean absolutely nothing. The next president has to act.”

September 26, 2007: Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro said, “Sen. Obama said he would do everything possible to end the war in Iraq and emphasized the need for a political solution yet he failed to show up to vote for Sen. Biden’s critical amendment to provide a political solution in Iraq.

We are NOT accepting Sen. Obama just because 'they' slap a democratic label on him to represent us in the White House. He doesn't represent us, or grassroots Americans. He represents elitism, class warfare, demagoguery, race-baiting, ageism and misogyny. That's his vision for America and the Democratic Party, not ours.
We will vote for Senator McCain and help defeat what we believe is evil in our midst and send a message loud and clear that we will be heard and we will not tolerate bigotry, separatism and everything else Obama clearly stands for.

It's a sad year in politics. There are no choices.

Obama is going to lose Michigan. One of the key top four or seven states.

For a few reasons, he wanted to disenfranchise the votes, until he thought he had the nomination secured. He tried to strong arm the auto industries with a tough mandate to raise mileage on vehicles to pander for votes.

the list goes on and on, but here in Michigan, I work for the auto industry in metro Detroit, and no one wants Obama, and with his buddy Kilpatrick, that doesn't help matters.

you can pretty much kiss Michigan goodbye, Blobama supporters.

ps, I'm working overtime in my senior citizen complexes here in west metro suburban Detroit. I've convinced thousands of seniors already to vote against Blobama. I'll keep going tirelessly until November.

MICHIGANS AGAINST BLOBAMA 08!

.,

What an idiot! I am here in MI too and don't know where YOU hang out, BUT Oakland County will be going for Obama. John McCain keeps saying stupid things when he comes to MI.

Interesting that you need to work two jobs.

No candidate is discussing the flying saucer problem. These things are seen everywhere and almost no political candidate is addressing this problem. If the US could capture a saucer it could give us the answer to the energy crisis. This would excite the people and cause them to vote.

Obama will not be our next president. Give it up.

Gallup Daily: Obama Up 45% to 43%

GEE WHAT A HUGE LEAD FOR OBAMA!

The candidates are not explaining thier policies in detail, such as, if pets are considered a part of the family would they be covered under the healthcare plans of the candidates?

Obama will announce who it is, it will be someone who can get him votes.

Not someone who can do anything or worth something,

Just someone who can get Obama votes.

Which words best describe a real leader?

(1) We have nothing to fear but fear itself.

(2) The buck stops here.

(3) Damn the torpedos and full speed ahead.

(4) That's above my pay grade.

Sandy...If you had listened to Obama's full and entire answer, maybe you would understand his response. But as usual,the little snippits are all you see and repeat. Like Mcain's answer to what you consider wealthy? Oh anything over 5 mil...But then considering what the Bush administration has done over the last 8 years, I shouldn't be surprised that Mcain thinks he's above everyone else. And can play God with our lives and bodies.I cheated, well not really, we were living together, but separated..I told Cindy I was younger so she would like me. Like I want this guy telling me what to do.

Obama: The more you hear him, the better McCain looks.

Will Obama get a big bounce during the convention? If he doesn't, the fat lady will have sung!

Obama needs to WAKE UP!!!
He can't do it without Hillary.

SHE IS THE ONE WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOMINATED - But, we are where we are....the ONLY choice is Clinton as VP.
Or its Pres McCain

ABC: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and his team may have passed their first real presidential test -- they can keep a secret.
====

Secrecy has been the hallmark of the GWBush administration, including the Cheney oil advisers that resulted in Big Oil's tax credits 0-bama supports.

This phony candi learned fast and well, from Bush. Talking about a 3rd term of Bush, you need go no further to look at his boneheaded secrecy.

Comrade Obama said, we are not allowed to question his patriotism.

This is really sad to read. There is a great deal of hatred out there.

My prayers are with you all, left or right.

Its apparent that after the forum this weekend that Obama cannot speak without a teleprompter or speech written by Axelrod. McCain will shred Obama in the debates, that is, if Obama is the nominee. If Hillary is the nominee, then McCain will have his hands full. I can't BELIEVE the DNC will allow this flake, Obama, to be their nominee....I hope and pray that Hillary wins it somehow.

As far as VP picks....Obama will choose one, then if he continues to sink in the polls as he is doing, he will flip-flop and say he meant to say someone else. It will be ok, cuz the DNC and the Obamabots are so full of Obamaberry Kool Aid!

Face it, Obama is falling in the polls and is basically toast! He needs Hillary....after all, the Convention IS about Hillary this year....remember? Obama, who?

WHO CARES????
Obama is a FRAUD and will NEVER be elected. Let him pick Rev. Wright -
he seems to know him best.
I will NOT vote for him - whoever he picks - and Millions of Americans feel the same way.

I think I should run for president
I have lost hope in my Republican party/Thanks Bush/War/WeaponsMass Destruction/NOT/Missed opportunity to get Bin Ladden /Lost my vote
And I don't think the democrate is really going to do what he says either
Clinton was called with Bin Ladden in scope to be shot and did not give the order we could have avoided 911
You see they all SUCK
VOTE FOR Tgirl43

Oh my lord....who cares already,...enough with the drama here. Has it always been like this before candidate select a VP, or just this year because the DEMS have their weakest candidate ever? I don't care who he picks (I'm hoping it's NOT Biden, since I like him and know he'g got the goods...to outshine BO).
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

Not WRIGHT for America makes a pretty compelling case that Obama's pick will be Tim Kaine, because that buzz about a month ago on Kaine was a trial balloon, and since the far left did not freak out about Kaine's moderate credentials, Obama will go with him. We'll see...

It's unbelievable how much ignorance, prejiduce and hatred are shared in these comments. Obama will make a great president. The reason he has fallen in the polls is because of McCain's unrelentless lies and attack adds which he swore months ago he would not have in his campaign. Obama now needs to give it back to McCain twofold. He didn't start... McCain did. It's obvious the American people can't vote on positives, they need the to see all the negatives in people. As far as the Saddleback church debate... McCain played to the crowd. He gave answers that he knew would be popular with the audience. Obama tried to be honest and answered each question without attempting to give the answer the audience wanted to hear like McCain did.

This is an excellent article . Thanks a lot .
