Public Opinion: Whom Should Obama Select as a Running Mate?

Hillary & Bil should not be considered for vp. They ran a very ugly campaign; waiting for their opponent's demise; or for something bad to happen to him; even suggesting harm; the mountains of lies and deceit; the ones that really bothers me is the kitchen sink strategy and her consistent bid for the nomination when all the numbers were against her - she basically misled her supporters; while encouraging them to donate money to her failing campaign; how dishonest:

Obama is fresh air in comparison to GB and McCain. How can any woman except his wife vote for him; he does not support progressive women's issues; he will continue to send our sons & daughters off to Iraq. McCain represents the past and old policies that have created many national and international problems. Hillary and Bill also represent the past and ugly reminders of their days in arkansas and washington; monica, travelgate, bosnia, troopergate, racist comments during the campaign, whitewater, mr. foster and the list goes on including the constant whining & crying when the numbers turned against them. No presidential candidate need this kind of luggage.

everyone keeps saying that Obama has no experience, Bush ruined our country for 8yrs, Obama can do no worse. Obama gives our children hope. We never could tell them they could be president now we can. Just because McCain has experience and is 30yrs older than Obama that doesn't mean that he would be better, he will continue Bush's damage. I think Obama is for all people and the country should stop having so much hatred in their hearts over black people. All blacks are not the same. We may be different on the outside but God made us the same on the inside. I pray for all people who are racist. Our country is in the worse shape every we all need to come together and vote for change.

We are living an era where people concern more about what can bring more excitements on their lives than substances that may produce positive effects on their future. Those who hold the microphone,pen and keyboard, x only on Obama.

There are two political parties in this country, I need to hear at least some of John McCain's commentaries from the same source or at least from another source.

There is only one party that people can comment without fears.Is that democracy ?

We have to be careful because if we do not have balance of power in this country, we may end up becoming a nation like Somalia or Sudan, or Zimbabwe. I understand what has happened during the past eight years,however, I need to know if I can vote for John McCain or not.
