		<description>Obama said today that his VP pick is "Prepared to be president"; "independent"; "somebody who can push against my preconceived notions and challenge me so we have got a robust debate in the White House"; "a partner with me in strengthening this economy for the middle class and working families."

All code for Hillary. It's obvious. He probably didn't have much of a choice. This also explains the Hillary roll-call and the scheduled Bill Clinton speech in Denver next week.

I think he's making a big mistake. This is going to turn off a lot of the independents, moderate Republicans, and Naderish Democrats who liked Obama precisely because he wasn't Hillary. I think they outnumber the so-called Hillary Harridans. And I'm not convinced that having her as VP is going to placate the HHs anyway. Get ready for a painful week.

And McCain is rising in the polls; I'm getting very worried...why couldn't he pick Richardson or Biden?</description>

		<description>Obama would of picked John Edwards as his vice president but since he was set up he is out.  Obama will pick Hillary Clinton.  She has been out of the public view the last few weeks and this will lend itself to the surpris.</description>

		<description>It's a question of winning in November… and reducing the risk of losing.
I want Democrats back in control, with Republican oversight.

Like it or not, we were in better shape as a country when Bill left office.  Bush set this country back decades, not Clinton.  Bush eroded the positive Clinton years.

Like it or not, Obama/Clinton is a winning ticket and them working together will move this country back on track.  The Republicans do not want this ticket.
  
Al you must be a Republican or someone who just likes to loose and whine about it.  I recommend you offer up some positive points on the topic over calling people that you disagree with crazy.    With an entire statement filled with negative and hate you should feel right at home with Bill and Hill. 

Other than Clinton, who gives Obama better odds at winning this fall was my point.</description>

		<description>Obama has clearly oulined his requirements - integrity and not being above the law so Hillary is out on both counts.

All those who want Hillary on the ticket seem to be blind to the fact that she ran a campaign purely based on women this, women that, women the other i.e. i am only interested in 50% of the population. I have not seen a recent campaign in which any male candidate displayed such open and agressive bigotry. nor have I seen such campaign ineptitude from such an "intelligent" person as Al highlights.

We do not need to shatter any glass ceilings by electing women, we need to ensure that the best person wins. Corporate America is now becoming littered with so many so called smart women who proved to be no better than their male counterparts (and in a number of cases worse) at running big business. 

Her husbands hinderance aside, you Hillaryites need  accept that Hillary  ran an exceptionally poor campaign, exhibited absolutely no charisma or personality, was highly economical with the truth and was intolerable of other peoples opinions. All this was presided over by her campaign manager who was a.... woman (though she later terminated this arrangement).

All this makes her radioactive as a potential VP.</description>

		<description>Hillary is a liar. Bill Clinton is a fraud and misogynist. Tell me why people like them? Crazy Clinton die-hards. Hillary would trash the party in a second (in fact she has already with her despicable primary tactics) if it served her interest, just like Bill did, setting the stage for 8 years of Bush.

She ran a lousy campaign based on fear, hatred and divisiveness, and she and her blind followers continue their hating. Oh, and she ran it deeply into debt. What happened to all that "experience"? No thanks, I don't need anymore Bushes OR Clintons.</description>

		<description>Let me start out by saying I will be voting for Obama in November. 
There is no other choice for me and yes I am happy to have this choice.

Now, here's what concerns me. All I've read and heard is Obama does not want Clinton as his running mate, for one of two reasons or it could be for both. Reason one, HRC will over shadow him.  Reason two, WJC will get too involved.   Hmmm, he wants to be the most powerful man in the country, but he’s afraid of the “Clinton” influence. So, one can reason to remain top dog, he’s only willing to choose people weaker than him to be on his team,  but he is willing to work with some that have experience he’s light on.   I wonder what will those right wingers make of that message.   Obama can't handle a Clinton and is afraid of being publicly challenged by their intelligence. Yup, McCain's the man for the job....   he maybe old but he’s got the guts to lead.  No “girlly man” is he… and sure enough McCain will win this November

Our next president is going to have a major clean up to deal with.   He will need very strong partner(s) with him to move this country back on track.  This mess is too big for one man.  I believe both Clintons have proven dedication to this task and will do what’s best for the country… they have made history already…now they are just being good America citizens.

America needs to shatter the glass ceiling for women.  It’s no longer just a man’s world.  Obama has the greatest chance of taking down sexism along with racism with his VP choice.   Given how well Hillary did in the primary, no one would question him for choosing Hillary as his running mate.   I truly believe with her by his side, they will win this November.  Without her, there is very strong chance he will loose.  It’s my hope he’s smart enough to want to win as a team and understands the risk he's taking with running on his name alone on the ticket.   In the end, America will pay for that loss.  

If he choose HRC, then he’s proven to me he wants what best for America more than wanting to be in the “Rock Star” spotlight for the next three to four months.


Democrats, we need the "Redeem Team"  in 2008, lets not wait for 2012.</description>
