Sorry Joe the PUMAS are not impressed and nothing will change that. Of course it doesn't help that your so chummy with McCain either.

HRC Qualified or not, would have been a galvanizing point for the GOP, it would have been all Clinton all the time 24/7. NOthing would have brought the GOP together faster than to insure she did not win.

Biden, are you suffering from low self-esteem? Do you need a hug?

Would be the same ole crap in Washington ....

Joe, be a man and step a side so that Obama can correct his mistake by replacing you with Hillary as VP. Otherwise you will be known as the spoiler of the century

Great move by Biden to grease his way on EXIT and set the stage for Hillary to come in , Dont think this hasn't been discuss the sooner you do it the better , I always felt Biden would be better serve as SEC OF STATE he loves to travel .

So Hillary come on down and get into the spotlight again
when you go heads up against Palin , her camp CAN'T USE THE SEXISM CARD.

HRC is ot going to bail out Obama/Biden now...It's too late MEN!!!!

HRC is not going to bail out Obama/Biden now...It's too late MEN!!!!

Boy o boy , i'd be happy if Joe steps aside for Hillary Clinton.

I want to win.

Joe gets this. Can anybody ask Obama is he understand this? I hope he will be questioned about why he skipped Hillary.

Did any one watch O'Rily grill Obama on his ties with Ayers, Wright? It is a disaster. Obama behaved like a high school boy caught cheating in an exam.

I'm beginning to agree with Biden, not because I think Hillary would have been a better pick, but because Biden cannot even produce confidence in the ticket!!! What is he trying to do? Hash up old feelings and sabotage Obama??? I'm beginning to not trust him at all. The old farts in politics just can't move over and support the new blood can they? This whole "praise the females so much it doesn't even make sense" is getting sickening. From a married, church-going, working, mother of 3 children, and a democrat, stop the nicey talk and try to win dang it, I'm not investing in you to praise the other party and set the people who lost in the primaries on a pedestal!!!

McCain and Palin are liars..that's a FACT
http://www.newsweek.com/id/158265/output/print

Joe Biden has convinced me that he will assist in the loss of Obama if he keeps this nonsense up......

Perhaps you should step aside Mr. Joe Biden......

I think Obama being one to always copy off others ideals----wants to trade Biden in for a woman and this is just the ground work for Biden to step down so Hill can replace him.

Obama was asked on "Nightline" if he thought no picking Hillary was a mistake .. but he didn't answer the question!

Why didn't you tell that to Obama? You should of said then: "Thanks man, but no thanks, pick Hillary, she is better qualify to be your VP".
But what you actually said is: "Why it took you so long?"
Go figure....
BTW, I don't think he can drop out and pick Hillary. And if I was Hillary, after all this staging phony roll call on DNC, I would of say "NO". Women has to have her honor and dignity. Which I think she does.

I think Biden is a better choice than Hillary. He's much better looking and looks a lot better in a suit! Less wrinkles too!

Biden is full of bad comments, "Obama America!" "Clinton is better vp than me", more fuel for McCain to use. It just gets worst and worst for Obama.

I think Biden was saying exactly what he meant and I really like him for it. Hillary was smeared throughout the primary by Obama and his followers.

The truth is in the great things she has done over the years. Her record was demeaned and minimized by Obama in the primary. They will try to do the same thing now to Palin. Obama's advantage has always been a media willing do anything or say anything to get him elected.

Lot's of voters do their research and no longer trust the tabloids.

Unbelievable! Only Joe Biden could say something like this that could be so damaging! Barack Obama insulted women Hillary supporters once, now Biden has done it again. I knew it would not take long for Biden to put both feet squarely in his mouth. Senator Obama, you are going to have to live with this man as your side kick...but only for 55 more days.

Drop Biden!!!!!

and pick Hillary Clinton!!!!!

Too late, I have already registered as a republican. The DNC can go straight to *()*!

OMG, they just like to dig their grave deeper and deeper. Check this out:

S.C. Dem chair: Palin primary qualification is she hasn't had an abortion

http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0908/SC_Dem_chair_Palin_primary_qualification_is_she_hasnt_had_an_abortion_.html?showall

Majority political strategists will agree on one thing: selecting running mate is the first most important decision presidental candidates made. Now can someone tell me how Sen. Obama who keep shouting judgement is more important than experience made this decision. Sen. Hillary is more qualify , better pick according to Sen. Biden but wasn't even considered.
Is this mean Sen. Obama make a real bad jugdment according to Sen. Biden ?

Now instead of putting lipstick on a pig, they're putting it on Hillary Clinton (who was the better candidate by a long shot).

Way to go Democrats! You think telling the media you aren't running the best candidates is the way to win?

Make no mistake about this....Palin's record is not extremist...it is just the oppisite of Obama's ....McCain represents the true center of ideology....where most voter's live.

I think Biden was just being humble and being nice to Hillary.

Why aren't we analyzing every word that comes out of McCain and Palin's mouth. They've told the same lies in their stump speeches for the last 2 weeks. Let's break it down and call them to task for every lie.

Hockey Moms for Obama

What color lipstick do you wear?

HRC is ot going to bail out Obama/Biden now...It's too late MEN!!!!

Oh well said troll. So, you are gonna vote your anatomy instead of the well being of our troops. McCain has voted against our veterans on every vote. Thanks for the wonderful support ladies, we men and women military veterans will remember it for years to come.

You PUMAS are a joke. If Obama wins, Hillary will be Sec. Of State, one of the most powerful positions in the world. But you want to help palin as if she is somehow equal to Hillary. You are a disgrace to Hillary's legacy, and a bunch of whiney children. Not to mention stupid for going against your own beliefs just like a pouting child.

Joe's chilvary in his statement today is truly kind. He will be skewered for it, but that will not erase the kindness in that man. He is a true leader and statesman. If Hillary does not help her party now, she does not desverve the friendship with Biden.

Biden is another reason why the Repubs will win again come November.

jean

Very funny. Very, very funny!

This is very funny.

Only in right wing world is humility and graciousness perceived to be some sort of gaffe. Obviously for the fake "Hillary Supporters" earning their McCain trolling points, the truth is an obstacle blocking their way to power.

To moral Americans, lying your way to office will lead to nothing but more dysfunctional government where politics comes before governance.

Anyway, this stupid non-troversy du jour is the extent of the McCain campaign's grasp of the issues.

When they told you the election would not be based in issues, did you think they were lying?

Heh. I guess that's their only true statement this year and they've used up their quota.

jean

Very funny. Very, very funny!

Thank you, Joe Biden, for being an honest man. It is a shame that Senator Obama was not.

Calm down people, Biden is trying to be humble. Right now the focus of the election is on Obama and Palin. This speaks volumes about McCain, as it is clear that the Republicans are more excited about their VP candidate than McCain himself. Just wait until the media have a chance to examine Palin's record. Just because she is a woman does not mean she get a pass from media scrutiny.

This kind of reporting is ridiculous and a discredit to the media. Matthew Jaffe should be ashamed of himself. Who knows how this statement actually came out of Biden's mouth from this report? It's twisted the minute it hits the paper. Come on, ABC. I expect better from you. Do the country a favor. Stick to the issues. Don't become "ambulance chasers."

Ya think?

The 2008 presidential election is the saddest chapter in the Democratic Party history. The strongest and most qualified candidate, Hillary Clinton, was shoved aside to give way for the weakest candidate, Barack Obama.

As a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter who has full confidence in her abilities, it hurts me to witness the leadership of the Democratic Party handing the 2008 victory to the Republicans. Unfortunately, I, too, am one of the millions who will be voting for McCain/Palin for lack of a better choice.

What the Democratic Party and the media did to Hillary is such a disgrace. I am a middle-aged military man who saw my wife crying her eyes out the day Hillary dropped out of the race. My wife was crying not only because the most qualified woman candidate was pushed out of the race, but also because the Democratic Party's real chance for victory was denied.

With so many questionable associations and shifting positions, I can not vote for Obama. Since I know what service to country is, John McCain will be my choice for president of our beloved country in November 2008.

I hope and pray that Hillary Clinton will run in 2012. She must! We need her to heal the severe wounds that the Democratic Party and the media inflicted on her and her supporters.

Breath deep people...now exhale and reread his comment. Wow...it's so typical of the conservatives to 'spin' any comment made by Obama or Biden. He's merely stating that Hillary is just as qualified as he is. Now you people have him 'dropping out' You PUMAS need to get over yourselves. It was Hillary's decision not to be vetted in the first place. PLUS...she and Bill didn't want to divulge records as a part of being fully vetted...ie....
Bill's donor list to his WJK foundation, Hillary's records as First Lady, and records from Pres Clinton's presidential library in Arkansas. They have yet to give complete '07 tax returns. What do they still have to hide? Campaign fraud maybe? They've been sued in the State of Calif for Hillary's 2000 Senate election. Trial should start in Nov.........after the election, which was by her request.
I have no doubt Hillary will have a top position in Obama's administration where she can continue her pledge to the people. Does that matter to the PUMAs? I doubt it...they just want a woman and from what I can see, it doesn't matter which woman, as long as she has a vagina.

Hillary might unite the GOP, but that wouldn't have mattered because they're already galvanized by the Palin pick.

Yeah, Yeah, I know Biden was only making kind statements just like when he said that Obama was a clean black guy that could actually talk so it was all gravey?

Joe, when the "whitey tape" is released both you and the Obamessiah will be completely destroyed and blown off the poltical landscape. You should have considered this before you stabbed Hillary in the back and took the VP spot.

As a Hillary supporter turned McCain/Palin supporter, I must say I'd be voting Obama/Hillary right now if that were the ticket.

But it's not, so McCain/Palin 08!

Now Biden is trying to pour oil into the women's fire. I am sure there will be a Rep commercial featuring Biden making this admission.

No need for Hilliary to galvanize the GOP, Obama and his stupid followers comments are tossing voters left and right at the GOP. (Pun Intended.) The question is no longer who will win, but how badly Obama is going to lose. Geez....

S*** happended!

How funny things happened in this elections:
- Democrat have every advantages but manage to throw aways.
- Repulican have no single advantage but somehow select the only one (McCain) who have a change to win.
- Hillary fought so hard for woman and Palin enjoy the fruits.
- Obama claims good judgement and make a lousy decision.
- McCain proud of experience but make a sensation pick.
What 's next suprises ?

McCain/Palin - good for America
Obama/Biden - good for nothing

It would be nice if Obama followed up Biden's admission with one of his own that Hillary would be a better candidate than him to ease himself out of the top for the 2nd spot on the ticket. That would definitely suck all the air out of the Palin's phenomenon.

ah, joey tries to impress the women. that's a step back!

The headline takes the quote out of its context which was being complimentary of Clinton because Biden has class. That doesn't seem to be true of most bloggers and the press which seems to want to imitate the National Enquirer.

ABC can't even get this right? He said AS GOOD OR better.

All that money Disney has given to McCain has gone to somebody's head.

What is funny is I think Obama is planning on replacing Biden with a woman or one of the Clintons------but that it is only going to annoy voters further as it will only be seen as a desperate weak attempt on Obama's part.

Oh I love that Joe...and I really believe he has more affection and respect for John McCain and their 33 year old friendship. As for Hillary, Biden is dead on...I was a Hillary supporter and watched the media and BO campaign kick her in the teeth. I switched to McCain the day Hillary dropped out and contributed that day. The Palin addition is just icing on the cake for me.
I KNOW in the post analysis of this election....Obama's loss will be completely attributed to his dissing the gal who SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE DEM PREZ NOMINEE, and he never even thought of her for VP...never. His ego is limitless....thank God, McCain isn't like that. Republicans heaved a sigh of relief the day Biden was announced (or should I say the 3AM text (dig to Hillary). Hillary, in every poll was the one to beat McCain, but this is the Affirmative Action year for Dems, and it's the wrong black guy to be our first black Pres. Sorry.

Hillary has offered to help: she has agreed to step in and run.... for President... Obama can switch to Veep!

The democrats will have blown three in a row. Nader/Gonzalez 08.

How does Obama take Biden out and give the VP post to Hillary?
GO HILLARY!!!!

We all knew Biden is smarter than Obama.

You know think about it, you complain about Obama's VP pick of Biden and Biden is a friend of Hillarys and you don't complain about Palin who is so in-experienced that she can't go in front of the press on DAY ONE and now were on DAY 10 still too inexperienced to face the press. Oh but you want to convince me she's experienced enough to be VP? Give me a break! Oh and now McCain camp says Democrats are in Alaska looking into Palin's record, maybe they wouldn't. What we should take Rove's word for Palin's record. I think Obama was calling Rove the "lipstick on a pig".

This is great!!! The VP candidate doubting his President's choice of VP. His words...not mine.

either way, BHO is toast. he's done. if biden goes and HRC comes in, its dissarray city. its thomas eagleton time. if he sticks with biden, biden and BHO himself will gaffe themselves to november. walking talking double gaffe machines. SP has already gotten inside BHO's head - he's obsessed. as he slides more in polls, he'll get more desperate. make more mistakes. they'll get even more strident. i just hope the pollsters continue to over-report his support so he doesnt completely whack out. before november. amazing year. 4 of the most amazing political stories:

- how could HRC NOt get the nomination?

- how could HRC NOT be picked veep by BHO? (the begining of his end)

- palin: most important vp pick in history?

- BHO loses: how could he have lost with all the $$ advantage, all the dem tailwinds etc etc

they'll be teaching a lot of courses just involving this one year in running for president school.

As a former Hillary supporter I am blown away by Palin. I would not vote Dem now even if Hillary were at the head of the ticket. The special interest-dominated DNC has to be gutted. Losing this election will help that happen.

Hey PUMAs ....or fake PUMAs is more like it.....if you are voting for palin and mccain, you were NEVER supporting Hillary. EVER. You are all lying and are really repub blog hecklers. REAL supporters of Hillary would never turn on her like this, and would never be so EASY. We know the difference. and you are not fooling us. Hillary stands for her principles and beliefs...if you really stood with her, then you would NOT be sucking up to the exact polar opposite beliefs. Unless of course you are pouty immature kids....or republicans in hiding. go vote for the Mccain machine---who cares? you are losers in more ways than one, "puma's"

HRC-let the Dems and Obama fail along with all the Obamaniacs...THEY DESERVE IT AFTER THE WAY THEY TREATED YOU!!!!!

Good lord! Biden defends Hillary as "maybe" as good a choice as he was and all the PUMA morons start having seizures. He was just being gallant. He, and every intelligent person on this planet, knows Biden was the better choice. He's more experienced, more honest, and more human than she is.

ALL THE HRC SUPPORTERS KNEW OBAMA WOULD FAIL...WE KNEW IT!!!

Jean 6:03, you are delusional if you think Obama would give ANYTHING to Hillary if he could ever win this thing. She owes him NOTHING and he would never appoint her Sec. of State...he won't have that honor anyway. Pres. McCain has said he will appoint the best and the brightest both Republicans AND DEMOCRATS, the wealthiest to take only $1 a year in salary. Where's Bozo's plan to UNIFY? McCain doesn't care who has the great ideas....let's just push them through. B. Hussein's ego just keeps getting in the way...he would be a horrible CIC.

To those of you who are voting for McCain and his cardboard cutou, listen closely.
By voting for McCain it only reiterates the critics that you were never for Hillary's stance on the issues or her devotion to women's causes. Also, by voting for McCain you support him when he goes against all women's rights. The 'right to vote' will be the next right he will take away. Check his voting record towards women and children. Take a deep hard look at your mothers, sisters, aunts, and daughters. Look them in the eye and tell them you are voting for a man who will overturn Roe vs Wade and the woman's right to make her own choice. Tell them McCain's gov't will make their choices for them.
Also tell them their school programs will be cut out of the McCain budget and they won't be able to play afterschool sports. And please don't forget to tell them NOT to get sick, 'cuz you don't Pres McCain said we all have to fend for ourselves---no more health insurance. If you have teenage kids, remind them to register for the draft. Make sure you tell them to toughen up because it's a huge possibility you'll never be able to see them again.

Don't pass your ignorant self defiance along to your children. Think about them and not your own self egoes.

If you don't believe me, you're more than welcome to educate yourself on McCain's stance on the issues. Just don't read them on his website, once a liar always a liar.

Dwight at 6:12, you sound like my husband, a good man, who saw me watch the media skewer Hillary and promote this nobody Obama...I shed many tears by what I saw with my own eyes to be blatent sexism, and if it happens this time with Palin....media will hand the election to McCain/Palin from American backlash.
I am a Hillary supporter who is just fine with voting McCain/Palin....they are closer to my American values than Obama could ever be.

This is sooo sad! Women beating up on the men. So reactionary. So scorned. Hating Obama, for what? Biden knowing he has some pretty big heels to fill! Jumping over the fence for the same pre-recorded speech played over and over and over again. No issues, just the opposite. Wake up and wrap your head around the facts. We're going to lose everything. I'm telling you the stove is HOT! You can trust me, yourself, and do what's right for our and they're futures; or do the hard headed thing. Laugh now cry later! He who laughs last, laughs the hardest!!

McCain: Good for America
Obama: Good for nothing

Anybody see O'Reilly accuse BO of knowing the rhetoric of his old Reverend Wrigth last night? He skirted and danced around it when Bill said, c'mon they sell videos at the back of the church and you don't know? He still proclaims "he never heard". When oh when will that tape drop...Oct. 15th I hope. There was all that talk about something big in Oct. (per Hillary camp)....and I'm hoping it's BO nodding and cheering in the pews along with Wright....and his hateful preaching.

Sen. John McCain has proved himself to be unqualified and incapable of effectively leading the United States of America into the future by, among other things, his reckless, irresponsible, impulsive, and dangerous judgment in picking Sarah Palin as his running mate. Sarah Palin is a minor distraction not even worthy of discussion. However, Sen. John McCain has shown his contempt for the intelligence of the American people by making this unequivocally cynical decision to use an unknown, untested, and corrupt, serial liar like Sarah Palin to deceive voters into believing he stands for change. Sen. John McCain also disgraced himself by demonstrating a lack of courage in his choice of Sarah Palin at the last moment over much more qualified Republican men and women simply because she appeals to the base of the Republican Party, a group of voters he was going to lose. What Sen. John McCain doesn't understand is that by appeasing the extreme right wing of the Republican Party, he is going to lose the voters that really count, i.e., moderate and independent voters, and, in doing so, certainly lose the election. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

According to the Pentagon, we are losing Afghanistan.

DEAR JOE. STEP ASIDE IS A HARDEST DECISION WITH NO SURE ANYONE CAN DO. LET PUT COUNTRY FIRST. YOU ARE MY HEROE.YOU DO THIS THING EXACTLY LIKE MCCAIN DID IT FOR 22 YEARS AGO. IT MAYBE TOO LATE BUT BETTER THAN DO NOTHING.
I WISH TO GIVE YOU A HEART.

Was Obama's Freudian slip about his Muslim faith the Wright thing to say?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gawd, Joe, shut UP. Don't give Obammy ideas. He can't make a decision now. If you suggest you will step down he will only say 'PRESENT".

I like Joe because at least he doesn't have a vagina. At least I THINK Hitlery has a vagina. I hope she does, anyway. Could it be that Bill really gave birth to Chelsey???

Democrats. Sooooooo much fun.

Palin - 08

Community Organizer = Democratic thug!

Go McCain/Palin!!!!!!!!!!

That goes to show you the only way to really fix things is to do away with both parties start new ones. Like other countries do and like we did many years ago (wig party). Fire them all elect new one if you want real changes.
Country is falling apart economy is slow yet these officials still raising 100 million plus just to be Pres. Government and big businesses need overhauled. Corrupt business men over the last 20 years is killing us slowly.

I mean come on now. You still 600 million only get 4 years crazy.

Poor pumas.....you're actually undercover repub bloggers or just plain ole repubs. but that doesn't matter anyway. We don't care. All you pretend dems who say you're gonna vote for mcpain....hahahaha....you're just paid bloggers.

Biden is sick! He has hoofen mouth disease. HRC would never lower herself to be on a ticket with a rattled and malconted senator from Chicago!

to above post
I meant steal 600 million

Why won't Obama allow his baby mama outdoors?

That was like sending flowers to the deceased. Thanks Joe for helping me strengthen my resolve to vote for McCain.

Joe, why did you accept the nomination then? Better yet, Obama, why didn't you pick her? Oh yea, you were too arrogant and too good for her. After all, you "beat the Clinton machine." You won the battle, but you've lost this war badly.
And to those who say "she woulda galvinized the GOP," because Sarah Palin hasn't more than HRC ever could have? Ummm, if Obama had picked HRC, there'd have been no Palin VP pick!

Ya see what I mean! Reading the comments here, I'm shocked that there are still so many Obama supporters that refuse to admit that Hillary would have put the Democratic Ticket so above the republicans, that no matter what they did, democrats would have been a lock. Obamas refusal to give Hillary the VP slot, compounded by the fact that John McCain had the guts to put Palin up in the VP slot, might make a democratic presidency at the earliest 12 years away. It's too late to add Hillary now so the only hope you Hillary fans and the democratic party have now is an Obama defeat in November, and a Hillary win in 2012. You see, I'm a Hillary supporter and I'm NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA. I don't care what the polls say, there are so many of us out there that feel the same way as I do, I can't believe that this election is as close as the polls say. I know so many die hard democrats that, because of the DNC, and the treatment of Hillary, and the Superdelegates, they are not voting for Obama either. It sounds to me like the only issue for democratic women that are still holding them to Obama is the Abortion issue. It's only a matter of time before they realize that no matter who is in office, nobody is going to be crazy enough to take away a womens right to choose. There are many, many republicans that agree with a womens right to choose.

Is he hinting that Obama's "judgement" was wrong???
I thought Obama bragged about his "judgment", even his VP does not believe him anymore..wow

HEY ABC, WHAT HAPPENED TO FREE SPEECH. IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY POST, A
