Kathleen Sibelius is a better choice. I see a Sibelius/Bayh ticket in 2016!!!

Please dont chooose BAYH! Bayh is BOOOOOOORING. Please choose Tim Kane. Obama/Kaine 08!

Does Bayh take thep iece of cake with the flower on it like Jake?

Bayh Bye Obama..... you're political tires are flat.

Obama/Bayah = THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND. One knows nothing and the other knows even less.

Obama/Bayh would be a great ticket for the future of America

Obama fist bumbs his wife and hugs Even Byah. hmmmmm?

It's odd for a man to fist bump his wife but hug other men.

"Kathleen Sibelius is a better choice. I see a Sibelius/Bayh ticket in 2016!!!"

I think Sebelius has a good shot at being a future nominee. I don't think I would recommend Obama pick her this time, but she seems to have a bright future.

I do like the Bayh pick. He helps in Indiana and because he is boring (first rule in running mates is do no harm). Kaine neither hurts nor helps in Virginia, so I'd prefer Bayh.

Bayh-bye.

bayh IS boring...but I have to say

the comments on here show how smart the other side is

"It's odd for a man to fist bump his wife but hug other men."

well I guess we can see where the other side is... it's odd for someone to even take note of those two things...lol

sounds like some commenters on here have their own little issues going on. lol

Hope Bayh straightened Obama out on the tire pressure thing. Obama`s projected oil savings assumes we are all nincompoops driving our cars with under-inflated tires.

WHY NOT HILLARY? This is why I am voting for McCaine! Obama has too many issues. The DNC betrayed the Party when they decided to throw out the Democractic process and dictate through Delegates who the Nominee will be. This will all change during the Convention though, we are going to protest and show our endorsement for McCaine. We urge other dissatisfied members to join us!

Obama could name God as his running mate, and I still won't vote for him.

Anyone else think that this is a horrible picture of Obama? It looks like he is doing the Reverend Wright Crazy Chicken dance to me.

Did ABC just remove the picture? Did the Obama people complain?

If Kathleen Sebelius is not picked, it is most likely due to pressure from the creepy Clinton caravan of oddities.

Strange, but I guess one can add sexist to the description creepy Bill Clinton gave of himself the other day. Of course this is a guy who exposed himself to one of his subordinates in the Arkansas government - among a host of awful things he did to women. Maybe not that surprising.

So McCain wants to build 45 new NUKE plants. This raises a few questions which I hope some of you conservatives (no pun intended) can answer. What will we do with all the nuclear waste, which btw, stays radioactive for hundreds of years? How many YUCCA mountains do we have? More importantly, what happens when one of two of them have a meltdown? Does anyone remember THREE MILE ISLAND or CHERNOBYL? Who will be in charge of these 45 new nuke plants? Will the head of the Nucleur Regulatory Commission be Homer Simpson or Smithers?

I certainly hope that the VP candidate has more integrity, better judgment and more real experience than Obama--he was in Congress about a year before starting his presidential campaign. I do find Obama to be too far left on too many issues. He also distorts and flip-flops too much.

Well, I think a big hug is OK, as
long as it didn't go any further than that.

Oh and Debbie, Obama admitted to drug use. There is no if he did.

I think it is not a good sign for Bayh that Obama felt the need to spend this much time in INdiana and not make the announcement.

I would guess he is trying to shore up Indiana

Evan Bayh is a great choice for VP!

Boston...completely new and improved technology now as far as avoiding a meltdown----and although the waste is radioactive-----the waste is a tiny amount giving nuke energy a rating as an environmentally friendly energy source. I imagine the Yaka mountains have room for all the waste since there isn't that much in mass.

Three Mile Island was not a meltdown

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, often mentioned as a possible running mate for Republican presidential candidate John McCain, said Wednesday GOP candidates would do well to adopt a positive tone like that of McCain's Democratic rival Barack Obama.

"Say what you will about Barack Obama," the Minnesota Republican told a conservative group, "people gravitate when you have something positive to say."

If that is Bayh's idea of a joke, it is going to be a long campaign.

Good Heavens, Rob. Bayh is BORING? Maybe Obama should pick Jerry Seinfeld or someone funny. Hum. I didn't know if was the role of the v.p. to entertain the American people. Learn something new every day!

None of this matters one bit! OBAMA YAMAN is on his way out the pools don't lie for all of his Rock Star qualities he's still virtualy tied with McCaine and after he dismises Hillary completely by not offering her the VP position he'll be done for good! We the Hillary loyals and hardliners will not forgive such an action. I will not vote in Nov. for any presidential candidate but I will vote for the rest of the candidates in my state and congressional district and I know many whom intend to vote the same. However if Obama is even a bit disrespectful to Hillary in any way I will vote for McCaine without hesitation. So be very careful Obama Yama my eyes are on you!

I am a dem for MCcain,no way will i vote for Obama and BAYH..I just hope Hillarys voters vill stay with their word..WE the people need to show these dem they can,t run the world..and choose who we wan,t,,this dem,party has made me ill,,what a shame a few people like ted,jerry,carter,pelosi,edward and a few more have disgraced their own party..

I went shopping at brookshires today and the first thing i saw was..Obama Marrage blowup,,could this be true?I sure hope notand what this i am hearing about John Edward?

Obama would have to pick someone that makes him LOOK more superior. I doubt he would never pick Hillary. But then... It doesn't matter because I care about this country and I say GO McCain!

Keep sticking it them Barack. Many of these bloggers are sons,daughters and grandkids of retired KKK members.

hillary .that is the only way obam

I am an octoroon. Probably most of you don’t know what that is. An octoroon is a white person with one black great-grandparent, and no other black relatives. In other words, the offspring of a quadroon and a white person, or a person with one-eighth black ancestry. Why is this important? Fortunately, it isn’t. It was important once, since in the American colonies, civil rights were based directly on the degree of European blood that ran in a person’s veins. The distinctions in one’s heritage were extremely important, since they determined whether a man (not a woman) could vote or own property. My point – and I do have one – is that these racial distinctions are becoming less and less clear as the centuries progress. I listen to discussions about this presidential race all the time, and even among people who have no idea of my lineage, the discussions center on issues, not race. Most of the people I know (admittedly, 95% white) are not concerned with Barack Obama’s race. They are concerned about the issues first. I happen to be a John McCain supporter, but I applaud the fact that we now live in a society where words like “octoroon” seem like something right out of a history book. When I told my 12 year old niece the meaning of this word, she asked “Why do we even need a word like that?” Out of the mouths of children . . . we don’t need a word like that today, and that’s a good thing.

So many people in these blogs perpetuating lies, smear tactics, etc. etc. i.e. Obama is not gay nor is he an empty suit, not a drug addict, and all those other things. You folks do need to join the McCain camp where truth doesn't matter. As for the Clintons--have you read the Clinton history? If not, you really should.

By the way, I'm a sourthern republican that will vote Obama in November in hopes that he can make changes in Washington for the good of the people. In particular, my grandchildren.

sue

Obama won the nomination because WE voted for him. I'm sorry somebody had to lose. I like Hillary too. But she has figured out how to move on, and I hope her fans learn from her good example.

Don't letthe media pick our next President
N Y Times is pro Obama and against everyone else
Newsweek , La Times and MSNBC are also in the tank. This is America - let the citizens choose. These news outlets constantly trash everyone BUT Obama. We in Middle America know we dont want racists , criminals and terrorists in our White house. Yes, Ludacris - WE CAN STOP YOU and WE WILL in NOVEMBER !!!

I am too american to pick Obama so it doesn't matter to me who he picks. GO McCain!

"Many of these bloggers are sons,daughters and grandkids of retired KKK members." Dekonti's remarks are more of the same bigoted, racist remarks from Obama supporters and of course, more silence from Obama supporters when their fellow teammates spew disgustingly racist, bigoted remarks.

I agree....

hillary .that is the only way obam

fact check
You should live up to your name. You clearly don't like Obama but it sounds to me like there's some envy going on..Harvard educated, tall, handsome, large hands and feet! Need I say more? And trust me, I know of where I speak. It sounds to me like you're short and have tiny hands and feet!

Wow! I had heard about Donald Young and the gay thing but I hadn't heard that he'd been murdered. Wow. That gives a creepy feel to this election. Was it a professional 'hit'? If it was, I wonder if the Chicago underworld were given the contract.

WE CAN'T INFLATE OUR WAY OUT OF THIS!!

I don't see the name of a woman who won 18 million voters and have experience, both foreign and domestic?

Jeff - Who else would claim that Obama running onto a stage to greet Evan Bayh is a "devil dance similar to Rev. Wright's damnce in the pulpit?" Who would claim the "Obama's candidacy is based on Affirmative Action?"

In my opinion, that had to come from people with racist tendencies in my opinion.

My view is that the more Barack does well, the more angry such people will be. Sean Hannity from FOXNEWS is an example of such RACIST people. This man is being paid over $20MM to spew hate!!! Can't blame him, blame those that follow him and pay his salary.

That is point I'm making as you may need to read some of the comment that have been made of Sen. Obama.

Golly Jeff 1:53:44, (gulp and gasp) I'm sskkkeeert.

There were 3 young, black, gay men asassinated from the Trinity Church. Once in a while I google David Young to see if anything has been resolved, nothing so far. I find stuff like:
http://hireheels.com/blog/2008/05/12/holy-gay-choir-boy/
I would think this is all nonsense except for comment #28 by Glen McGahee (june 30) which mentions Joe Biden's son getting involved to shut up Sinclair.
I should think the gay community would demand the facts, too. I feel so sorry for those young men.
I doubt that the Republican campaign will touch this with a ten foot pole. Their ads against Obama are aimed at children voters and are very mild.

I just want to say to Mr senator Barak the next President of the United states of America you better" STRAP ON YOUR ARMOR and hang on" for we know you will Rock Him.May God be with you and whom ever you those to be your running mate and God Bless America and all it's Children's.

You mean Obama even wants Hillary's major supporter (and probably would have been her choice for VP) for his VP.

Obama has expanded his lead over McCain in NBC’s latest electoral map: Obama now has 217 electoral votes in his column versus 189 for McCain. Even if you don't believe in election polls, this at least indicates Americans could care less about racist remarks - time for McCain supporters to discuss the issues that are important to us all and stop the pathetic old school mud slinging.

ABCnews - I'm very disappointed with the inuendos made in the first FOUR paragraphs of this article. It was immature and childish. Your writers were definitely showing their age with this one. I didn't know ABCnews hired 5th graders.

teri - For your information, Trinity Church has one of the best AIDS/HIV outreach programs on the South Side of Chicago. You may want to do better research.

Evan Bayh worked harder than any Democrat not named Lieberman to ensure that we went to war in Iraq. He co-sponsored the IWR and was personally thanked by George W. Bush in the Rose Garden for his hard work in getting the war started. The selection of Bayh would rob Obama of any credibility on his national security cornerstone- his early opposition to the war. The last thing America needs is another for-it-before-he-was-against-it candidate. Over 70% of Americans now think Bayh was disastrously wrong. And on this, the American people are right.

"Obama has expanded his lead over McCain in NBC’s latest electoral map: Obama now has 217 electoral votes in his column versus 189 for McCain."

Anyone who would believe anything coming from NBC or MSNBC to be true has the IQ of a brick. They have been in the tank promoting Obama from the beginning. Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman are in absolute, head-over heals in love with Obama. They will do anything for him and have already sold their souls. The "journalists" from this channel graduated from The National Enquirer School of Journalism. There is no longer anything professional or credible that can be attributed to NBC/MSNBC. Nothing.

Paula - Thank you. I read Jake Tapper's stories and their nomore then paraphrasing from the Drudgereport.

People watch a man dying in the streets after being hit by a car and we still say "someone doesn't share their values." Kids go to bed hungry in this great country every night and we still say "someone doesn't share their values." However, when too young embrace eachother because they both believe that America's best days are still, ABC writes a story about them hugging for a momemt.

God, why did you take Tim Russert from us and leave us with these so-called journalist?

Joy,
You say you are voting for Obama for changes for the good of the people. Have you done any research on Obama and his policies,radical beliefs and associations? The direction Obama will take this country with his naive economic, foreign, energy and social policies will completely destroy everything good this country stands for!

Ok Stan - Should we listen to Mr. Sean "no original thought" Hannity from FOXNEWS?

I used to be Republican from the great state of OK, but have changed parties because I so believe Obama is THE candidate for Presidency. I think Bayh would be a good running mate. Perhaps not the best, but a good one. I agree that Sibelius would be better, if not for the die hard Clintonites who voice such rage at the thought of any woman besides Hillary being a female running mate.

Checking their wallets as they hug.

Means nothing. empty story by a bored pervert with nothing better to do. the editor is hitting bottom in life.

I'd say Sean Hannity is just as one-sided on the other side. CNN leans toward Obama but aren's quite as out there as MSNBC is. I flip between Fox and CNN and figure the truth lies somewhere in between. I have completely stopped watching MSNBC tho. They spin anything in favor of Obama 24/7 with the exception of Joe Scarborough, but even at that, he is the "token" anti-Obama employee. Guess they figure that's their way of balancing things. As I said before, they are wanting in the area of professionalism.

Obama and Bayh would be an excellent ticket for these reasons: 1) Bayh was a Hillary supporter so this would be seen by Clinton supporters as a way of reaching out to her constituency; 2)Indiana is already in play, and Bayh as VP would make it even more up for grabs; 3) Bayh could help Obama in the neighboring states of OH and MI; and 4) the choice of Bayh gives Obama street-cred on foreign policy, something that he won't get from Gov. Kaine or Gov. Sibelius.

Whatever happened to Biden for VP? At least someone in the Whitehouse would have some serious foreign affairs cred. Clearly, Obama's ego is too big to put Hillary on the ticket which would ENSURE a democratic win, but I didn't think he'd go for lightweights like Bayh or Kaine.

Have you guys seen Obama's new flag on his Airplane? He is Promoting himself as something other than a presidential hopeful . He must hate America so much that he doesn't want to insult people in other countries. What about this country? Don't we count? By the results we don't count in his book for anything.

Every news organ is selling us what they want to sell. The most objective event with be listening to the candidates side-by-side during the debates.

Go Paris...the wrinkly white haired guy really made a huge mistake this time....

How Paris Hilton’s McCain response came about

Paris Hilton is often thought of as a cartoon, the prototypical shallow celebrity. That was certainly one point of John McCain’s commercial featuring her and Britney Spears (and likening Barack Obama to both).

Paris Hilton has responded to John McCain’s ad with her own video.

But upon seeing the McCain ad, director Adam McKay (“Step Brothers,” “Anchorman”) thought of Hilton differently — as an American citizen.

“I was literally in my car and thought Paris must respond. It’s her duty as a citizen,” McKay told CNN. “Within three hours I was on the phone with her and she was into it.”

McKay is also co-founder of FunnyOrDie.com, the comedy video Web site that posted the Hilton video. He observed that the Hilton response was a natural reaction to McCain’s ad.

“McCain made one huge mistake. He drifted into the world of pop culture. And that’s Paris’ world. She owns that world,” he said. “So now he gets the blowback.”

Now that the Hilton video (as expected) has received coverage on mainstream media outlets such as CNN, McKay has bigger plans.

“Our next goal is a town hall style debate between Paris, McCain and that sea creature that washed up in Montauk,” he said.

And could there be more videos?

“We’re praying that Obama does an ad with Screech from ‘Saved by the Bell,’ ” he said. Then he twisted a knife. “Or maybe McCain’s next ad about the trillions we’ve spent on the Iraq war while our economy falls apart will have Janet Jackson or Paula Abdul in it.”

Reading these blogs helps me understand how we ended up in the mess we're in. Since when did National Enquirer and TMZ become our sources for political information, and since when did the "lowest common denominator" become the devining rod for our presidential elections? We see what that got us 4 years ago, do we really want to go down that road again? I'd much rather my president maybe get a little extra under the desk or experimented with drugs in his youth as opposed to being a total ignoramus with no social skills or a wack-job with anger issues and a Napoleon Complex.

this Dem will not vote for Obama w\out Hillary on the ticket (even then it would be hard). I don't care if I am bitter and don't tell me to get over it...I won't. In my opinion, she was definately the stronger of the 2 candidates. If the media had done their job (and yes, if Hillary and her campaign staff had not underestimated this slimey Chicago politician) then SHE would be the Dem nominee.

beck you have issues. Have you or your friends for you, considered professional help?

You guys need to get over Hillary, Hillary can't take any spot in the WH. Hillary can't show the financial records of Bill's Library.. if she did, your heads and hers would turn faster than the devils....

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks MSNBC and NBC have gone off the deepend on this election. They don't even make any pretense of impartiality anymore--especially Olberman and Matthews! The other night even Bryan Williams said with a straight face that Obama "refined" his energy policy when he clearly totally CHANGED his position with regard to use of the strategic petroleum reserve and offshore drilling (although he doesn't really mean it!)I've watched NBC news all my life and am switching these days. With Tim Russert gone, there is no point. For the first time in my life I am actually watching FOX News on occasion in addition to CNN.

Since Obama dropped 9 points in one week in the polls, and there are those that seem to think this Paris add is actually going to help Obama in some way, maybe he should consider putting her on the ticket with him. They have a lot of the same friends and they both have the same spending habits. Might just work. Spend,spend, spend, party, party, party.

Kurt: I did not write the story, it is on all the other news sites. I just brought it to you.

What is the matter, your wrinkly-white-haired-guy is going to get his a** kicked by the Pop Princess bothers you?

1 million dollars from 29 top oil execs to John McCain. HUL-LOH!! Wake up people, you'll get more of the Bush adm. if you vote for him. GO OBAMA!!!!!!!

He may be a good choice, but he's not the best choice. Hillary Clinton deserves to be on this ticket and their is 18 million reasons why! I have voted democrat since I was 18 and I am now 33, but this time I am not so sure!

Does anyone out there know what causes odd purple lips (Hint: Obama's lips weren't always purple and often now, he has lip stick cover the real shade.)?

Ken

How do you get "hates America" out of some new logo? I think your rabid need to insult Obama is getting in the way of your common sense.

Bayh is the Republican's wet dream of a so-called Democratic candidate. And what can he offer that Biden can't? A pretty haircut and perhaps a silent voice? (And does Obama really want to pick up and dust off what may have been Hillary's promised VP choice?) It's just a hug.

anne1244 - you are so right. I cannot stomach that J.O. Oberman and Chris Matthes, what the heck happened to him?
It's really disgusting how MSNBC is in the tank for Obama. Hey guys, can't you even fake impartiality a little? Even CNN, with that creep McCafferty and the rest, I cannot watch it anymore. I too am watching Fox for the 1st time and THEY are more balanced than the rest of them. Go figure!

IMHO

Know Obama, Know Change
No Obama, No Change

Know McCain, Know War
No McCain, No War

Obama, give us some new ideas besides inflating our tires. Is that all you got? Shut up about Sean Hannity. How about debating Hannity?

Liberals control 80% of the media Americans get hit with every day. And I see libs complain a lot about the media.Yet it is always the conservatives who get the blame? Libs are a twisted bunch. Why don't libs fix each other and take responsibility for their actions? just like people in prison who won't accept the fact they put them selves there because they blame others for what they did. and won't accept the blame for it. Libs are bordering on jail time for the damage they cause.Treason by Harry Reid and the others who have visited and have comforted the enemy with anti American words and actions.

I used to be a republican too. I did all of the things most other Republicans did, I went to college got a degree, I got a good job and worked my butt off to get what I wanted. One day I woke up and said you know what I don't want to get out of bed, I don't want to have to work for what I get anymore. I'm an American and I deserve to be able to go out to my mail box on the 1st and the 15th of the month and get my check that all of the hard working people in this country are paying for. Why should they get to keep all that money? Just because they worked for it? Not if Obama gets his way!! GO McCain!!! Why would anyone vote for a man who promotes laziness and stagnation of the American people as well as dependency on the government? Why would anyone vote for a man who would punish people for sucess and hard work. We should be trying to lift the people on the bottom up to higher standards, not bring the top down to the bottom... thats what is wrong with our education system (no child left behind...)

beck...............
I think the adds are funny. It was how you presented and tried to rub people's faces in it.

Great point, Blumpkin.
