Candidate VP picks.

BTW, here's why Hillary Clinton isn't a choice for much of anything at this point:

Clinton regrets Kennedy assassination remark

I have to wonder whether her political career is over after this run for the Presidency ? She'd have to be the VP running mate anyway for her "assassination" theory to work. I have a better chance at being named as the VP running mate than she does.

She's not dropping out of the race. I got what she said. The media is going to do what they do. Granted all media will pick up a comment about the Kennedys with Ted Kennedy health impacting so many people, but this comment is nothing she has to apologize for saying. She is merely being respectful if anyone took offense which is what any candidate should do.

The media is going to do what it does:

It is this looming prospect which explains the tremendous pressure Obama partisans and the media are putting on Clinton to drop out of the race. They want her gone now because they understand that she has an excellent chance of finishing as the undisputed people's choice. - Philidelphia Inquirer

Well Ted Kennedy is a murderer isn't he? Well, I guess murderer/criminal since he left the scene of the crime.

I respectfully disagree.

If Obama wants to be president he will have to pick Hillary for VP. She has won many key states that he cannot carry. 30% of Hillary supporters say they will vote for McCain if she doesnt get the nomination. Its a done deal.

OK I'll bite, why ? Do you actually think Obama would ask her to be the VP after all of this & put her on the ticket ? As for pulling even, even passing Obama to be the people's choice ?

She's 180 delegates behind. As for Super Delegates, I believe Obama passed her. Popular vote, she's behind by 456K votes off that pace.

Yep, I have a better chance than she does of being VP.

I disagree because nobody knows who you are and you aren't a politician.

She would help him way more than you.

You would not garner many votes, I'm afraid to say.

Obama/Clinton simply won't work either. American voters will look at it and say amongst themselves, how much will Hillary sabotage the President. President's need VP's that are in their corner. Hillary has gone on record and indicated Obama doesn't have the experience. Try telling your boss that at work and see where your career goes ? Same holds here. And if I'm McCain's group, that's one of the many issues that will be brought up. That the Dem's VP even thinks their Presidential candidate isn't capable of doing the best job.

McCain needs someone who is a young up and comer. Probably a governor with connections to a key swing state. Someone with strong economic record. The experts are saying a conservative...but I think a solid moderate Republican would be more appealing to the general population.

Obama. If he doesn't go with Clinton, I think he needs to consider a strong woman with extensive experience and name recognition.

The VP candidate really just heps the Presidential candidat appear more balanced and possibly secure 1 state.

It should be an interesting process.

What a bunch of poor sports. They aren't dems anyway. Let them vote for McCain... so they can lose TWICE. :P

Its the best chance for the dem's to win. This will happen. They will kiss and make up as many in politics do. Many democrats will vote for McCain this is a given. To not have her even more will. Then again we have to wait and see his choice for VP. Its still early.

Im just going by exit polls in some states.

Fair enough, but I also haven't gone $ 21 million in the hole/red to find out I didn't have a chance in hell either ?

McCain is the only one of the two who will get a choice in running mates.

If Clinton stays in the race to the convention, then it will be up to the guys in the smoky rooms to determine who will run with Obama. That person will likely be a loyal Clinton supporter, if not Clinton herself. Obama won't have much say in the matter because he doesn't have the necessary delegates to make such demands. Clinton can push far harder to have Michigan and Florida brought into the fold and can cause chaos over the fight for superdelegates. The last thing the Dems want is a divisive convention. She will have to be appeased; will demand concessions, appointments, and get them.

This is what happens in a brokered convention and that's what this will be.
