McCain to be swift boated?

Hillary will become president one day soon I hope, Obama has made a big mixup ofcourse, while many others hold his hand all the way he figures he does not need Hillary opioion on this VP, To many others speak for but him, many who hold his hands to guide him.

The selection of Joe Biden was very smart and they will make a formidable team. Biden was my first choice since February and his credentials and judgment in foreign policy are legendary. Coupled with Barack Obama's judgment, leadership, vision, and focus on the economy, I cannot imagine a better ticket. I join the millions of Americans who look forward to being part of history as we elect the most competent President since Ronald Reagan. Obama/Biden 2008

pifffttt Dems, McCain was a POW. He doesn't like to talk about being a POW. So, just in case you haven't heard, McCain was a POW and is entitled to the keys of the WH.

While I like Hillary, I think our country needs a change from Bush/Clinton. After all, 28 years of two family rule? Don't you think that's a bit much?

that was a weird news report. people make phone calls? tune in for the update people text, on Monday.

You will have two sets of protestors: Clinton supporters and anti-war/anti-Biden protestors.

This is going to get ugly people. Prepare for some high drama.

How could Obama possibly consider Sen. Clinton as his vice president. She is still desperate to be president and would only work to scuttle his presidency. Neither the presidency nor the vice presidency is an entitlement. The Clintons need to used stand this. They fought a good fight a lost. Move on and support the winner.

Ivan,
I agree. But he should have vetted her out of respect, and probably even made suggestions she will have a top place in his cabinet. SOMETHING to show respect for the fact that SHE BEAT OBAMA IN THE POPULAR VOTE COUNT.

A light will shine down from somewhere. It will light upon you. You will experience an epiphany, and you will say to yourself, ‘I have to vote for Barack.’” This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal. sounds like Barak America thinks he has been "anointed", to be in the white house.Biden/God 2008

Obama had the chance to unite the whole Democratic party, but chose not to do so. It is hard to believe Obama did not even vet Hillary, a slap in the face to half of the Democratic party. Yes many of Hillary's 18 million voters on the very liberal demographic will decide to switch and vote for Obama, but millions of others in the center may not, as well as many females and hispanics. In addition, you simply scare small businesses owners on taxes, democratic gun owners on gun control, and people experienced in world affairs that believe you will make mistakes that will make our country less safe because of your lack of international experience and unproven leadership ability. Biden is a good choice but he did not appeal to half of the Democratic Party, unlike Hillary that helped energize the party to the end of the primaries - and Obama did not even vet her – Wow - political mistake! Obama failed to realize that when he and Hillary were both in the race the party was alive, passionate and energized. If Obama loses it will not be because of Hillary, but because Obama took the torch of the energized Democratic Party and let the flame burn out. Recent polls seem to agree.

What does Biden bring to the ticket that Clinton did not?
Foreign policy expertise? Biden voted for the Iraq war and was its strongest democratic proponent. He continued to acknowledge his mistake in voting for it. He also has refused to accept timelines for withdrawal.
At least Clinton was in agreement to pull out asap.

Already Been Chewed blogs have become the new gathering place for operation chaos. This time we know the truth...
Obama/ Biden 08'
Good luck trying to steal this one.

Hillary's okay. I believe if Hillary hadn't said so much negative things about Obama during the primary she could've been his VP. It's just too much amo for the Republicans. Especially when she said of McCain,

"He’s never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002."

The fact of the matter is there are Hillary die hards who weren't going to vote for Obama anyway... even if he placed her on the ticket. By the time November comes around, after the debates majority of Hillay supporters will come around. It's the Independent group that's up for grabs and so far Obama is leading amongst Independents by 6+

Biden was a horrible choice, and rather than name-calling why don't you address the reasons I gave?

1. Upsetting Clinton supporters
2. Upsetting anti-war activists (Biden was a strong proponent of the Iraq invasion, probably the strongest Democrat and has refused to acknowledge it was a misatke up until a year ago)

There are protests going on now in front of the location of the Democratic Convention by anti-war protestors speaking out against Biden as choice for VP.

Obama has in one move upset 1/2 the democratic party and alienated the other 1/2 by brining in an old establishment figure who supported teh war.

This was a poor choice by Obama, he played it like a typical politician consulting the polls to make decisions for him. The "new politics" is officially dead.

So what are saying is Axelrod lied to George this morning.

Also watch out for a fall surprise. There's a group out there planning the swift boat of John McCain. John McCain isn't the POW I thought he was.

Obama, Biden and Hillary all stink. I think the Democrat party could do a little better than these losers.

Obama is doomed.He had a greater chance (I said "greater chance") of winning with Hillary as VP. I am relieved its not Hillary because there is no way he will ever win the presidency. As a democrat and a diehard Hillary supporter I am voting for John Mccain. I would have voted Mccain even if Hillary was VP because she is far superior to obama and deserves nothing less than 1st place.

bridgette - if you were a "diehard hillary supporter," you wouldn't be voting for McCain as Hill has asked all of us to vote Democratic no matter what.
