Clinton is the best things that Barack Obama can do to win the presidential nomination. As Hillary as his VP< together they can win the middle class, Women around the country, the hispanics and the african americans vote. Joe Biden is a good a choice but not as good as Hillary Clinton. She's not only a fighter, but she will bring this nation back to it's feet. The republicans fear Hillary Clinton !! I am a hispanic my self and i will vote for Barack Obama if Hillary is his VP. Joe Biden will not attract voters as much as Clinton. Who is Joe Biden for most people ? They never heard of him, that will cost Obama some major votes.

Joe Biden is the whitest of white bread and most likely was picked by committee. Obama can't talk about McCain being an old political insider when the VP is an old political insider. Poor choice for a campaign of change. Hillary Clinton would have been Obama's best chance for winning. There is still time for the Democrat party to nominate her before Obama sinks the ship. Yes, there would be howls of protest for a week or two, but a month later Obamamania would be old news. It's hard watching an approaching disaster knowing it could be avoided if some super delegates would reach down and find some courage.

Barack Hussein Obama is full of himself and others are full of his 'WHITE STORIES' as well. Obama stated himself that Hillary Rodham Clinton would be on anyones short list for Vice President.....well what happened OBAMA.
Just another one of Obama's 'Flip-Flop' events.
Enough of Barack Hussein Obama.
Enough of Michelle Obama.
Enough of Rev. Wright.
Enough of Tony Rezko.
Enough of Barack Hussein Obama's 'WHITE STORIES'.
I hope that all of the other 17,999,999 Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters --- vote for John McCain just as I will be doing in November.
GO---JOHN MCCAIN--PRESIDENT!!!
GO---JOHN MCCAIN--PRESIDENT!!!
ENOUGH OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S-'SHORT LIST VP-WHITE STORIES'.
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA -- JUST GO HOME AND RESIGN.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON IS THE RIGHT PRESIDENT FOR AMERICA.

What a dumb choice. Joe Biden has scoffed at people that believe in creation. Supposedly the opposite of Obama. He voted whole heartedly for the Iraq war. (opposite of Obama) He is old. (opposite of Obama) He doesn't represent change as he
is OLD school in politics. I think McCain has this one in the bag!

Whatever happened to give a woman a chance as V.P ?

Now that Sen. Obama has named Biden, instead of you, as his to be VP, how is he suppose to win this election without you. His best of best chances for the Democrats to stay put in the White House for the next 16 years was too good to be true. Hillary, I hope Sen. Obama has a great idea where to place you so that if an issue is in question, and he will need your experienced input, please be there for him. Moreover, I will still vote for you on any ticket.

It is McCain who is the one getting the free ride from the press, and anoyone who thinks that is not the case is simply deluding themselves or not paying attention. Of course, it is the right's talking point that Obama is getting a free ride, and many on the right are not good critical thinkers IMHO.
McCain is still talked about as if he was the man he was decades back, with no critical thought or analysis applied to how he behaves today and how he has reversed his position so many of his policies.
Hillary would have been a terrible choice for VP - she is even in a video PRAISING John McCain's preparedness to be PRESIDENT over Obama's - Could McCain hope for any better?
And after Bill's comments that perhaps 'nobody is prepared to be president' when asked if Obama is, well I am glad he chose someone who seems to believe in him instead.

Nothing against Biden, but I am so sad. This was they year. 2008 is such a strong Democratic year (putting aside the current polls).
But if there was ANY year in history where a ticket of a black man and a woman could beat McCain and a Republican, this was the year. I was tired of being taken for granted, being told to vote for my party just because of the Supreme Court (a valid argument, just not a fun argument). I wanted to vote FOR a ticket, not against the other ticket. Alas, not this year. 25 years after Ferraro got me excited about Dem. party politics, Obama wasn't man enough to pick Hillary Clinton or any other woman.
Sigh.
