Actually CNN indicates Obama is 12 away from the nomination. In terms of having clinton as vp, there are pros and cons. Pros is that the democratic party can be united. Con-Obama will lose the independents and republicans who like his message of turning the page in old school politics. McCain does attracts independents. Obama can take some of those independents of McCain. Independents are the swing voters and will decide the election. There is also a question of what she can add to the ticket. Remember the big state stratigies as cost us two general elections. If we lose one of the big states and capture virgina and colorado etc we can win the general. Clinton might deliever us the big states, but we might lose some of the small states that are independent. just a thought.

Thankfully the Democrats appear to be finally coming around and realizing that Obama has won this primary.

Now if we can just avoid having to put Hillary on the ticket and allow the GOP attack machine to use those 1000+ pages of intel and attack material they have already prepared for her.

Anyone who thinks Hillary has been properly vetted is delusional. Barack has been the story and the front runner for so long that her extensive and sordid past has been put on the back burner. If she is the VP, you can bet the GOP will user her to attack Obama the same way the Democrats are using Bush to attack McCain.

I would love it if Obama would pick a female Vice President as there is a great pool of female candidates to choose from. It just can't be Clinton. It breaks the brand, it breaks the message, and it would be a huge distraction.

It has been a great historic race between 2 amazing candidates in the primary. Although each person reserves the right to vote for who they want for in the General election, please think about the issues the democrats and the republicans are representing on the ballot. The democratic party is representing change and Sen Obama will make a great leader. In addition, he has the characteristic makeup to learn from his mistakes and to surround himself with bipartisan cabinet members that will be for the people. I dont like to loose at anything in life and I am sure Mrs. Clinton's supporters will be disappointed. Senator Clinton is passionate and she brings out the passion in people. The same can be said for Obama supporters. I am speaking as an Obama supporter. I ask the Clinton supporters who are passionate and upset. We are all in the same family. We love your passion, but I for one dont want the same policies from the Republican party to be elected in the fall. We need your support because the republicans will throw any and everything at the democratic party to win. Remember what happen to the election in Florida in 2000. The republicans are very powerful and we need the entire nation of democrats to unite.. Obama supporter with love for the Clinton supporters... "ONE PARTY" democrats lets unite to continue this movement

She is for univeral healthcare, so is Sen.Obama, you are for market based system, which is what we have today.

I am watching the broadcast and am getting more and more upset as the evening goes on. Enough already, MSNBC pundits and pontificators, with the yammering about Hillary. Not tonight. Really, not tonight!

Please, just give the endless analysis a rest and allow the people of this country to celebrate such an historic and momentous event without all of the soap opera and pointless picking apart of each and every meaningless nuance. Tonight is about Obama. Tonight is about all of us. You owe it to your viewers to not let it slip away without paying attention to what is happening before our very eyes.

Look at how she has behaved to this point. I pray that somehow all the push to anoint her ends tonight! She does not get the right to choose the VP slot.

As a football coach for 19 years, one of thing I have learned is this. In every contest there is a teacher and a student. Hillary and Bill Clinton for the last 28 years have always been the teachers. However, in this contest they are they are now the students, Obama has overcame insurmountable odds. He has overcome his race, age, experience, his wired name, his religious affiliations, his gaffes and one the fiercest competitors in political history in America the Clinton Dynasty.

We must all understand that what Obama has done is just purely remarkable and should not be taken lightly. As a man of color myself I stand in awe and want to thank every American that can see beyond the outer layer of Obama and who has judged him by what’s in his heart and not by his outer layer.

To all the Hillary Clinton Supporters I hope you all can over come you disappointment and anger before November. I will be the first with my arms open and embrace all of you. I urge all of us Obama supporters to reach out to all the Clinton people and bring them in with love and understanding. Tell the Clinton supporters we need them and we can’t do it with out them. Welcome them to a new and better America and the Obama campaign that is set to lift America to a Higher Ground!

God Bless you all!

Hillary signed an agreement to not campaign in FL & MI just the same as Obama and John Edwards lady!!!

Hillary tried to activate the anti-sexist base when she cried in NH!

Hillary tried to activate the Archie Bunker base with her comments before KY & WV!!

Hillary even tried to activate the Oswald base with her comments relating to RFK!!

What she didnt do is run a smart, effective campaign!

Touting experience when all of hers came compliments of her husband and now her supporters want to claim sexism!

Her base is exactly like her, they cling to loosely related, readily available facts that dont explain how she lost this election!!

Realize that her campaign was TOTALLY(negatively) reactive, not proactive like the Obama campaign!
