There are a lot of people not warm to Obama on any ticket. Obama is very divisive, similar to Clinton. Obama is kind of dense in that he doesn't really understand that he offends a lot of people with his words, the radical people he associates with, and his beliefs. Obama's elitism is another problem he has not dealt well with and will hurt him greatly in the general election.

Sam Arora, a former Clinton campaign staffer now speaking for the “Vote for Both” movement that is pushing for an Obama-Clinton ticket, counters that Clinton boosts Obama among key demographics in these states, and questions the polling firm’s “misleading lede and prepared bytes.”

“Sen. Obama holds only a slim lead in these states and adding Clinton to the ticket would give him a vital boost into safer territory,” Arora said.

I agree. Senator Clinton's campaign went against Obama's core message. "Turning the Page" means putting together a new coalition of politicians dedicated to finding new ways to solve the nation's problems.

Senator Clinton is a talented representative of the people of New York. She should remain in a position where she can serve that constituency.

Once Lanny Davis joined "Vote Both" they immediately lost all credibility with me. He is one of the most dishonest men that I have seen. People need to relax and let Sen. Obama make his choice. I'm very positive that based on the wonderful campaign that he has run thus far, that he will also make a good VP decision as well. There are tons of qualified VP candidates out there this year and I'm sure that he'll pick someone who he has faith in to enforce his message. At this point, I don't think that he has to make any kind of geographical pick and just needs to pick someone who meshes with him ideologically. I'm still holding out hope for Gov. Richardson but Biden has been looking good lately and Edwards keeps coming to mind as a good choice as well.

As I've said all along there are numerous reason NOT to put Clinton on the ticket.

Then there's the issue of changing Washington politics. Can't do that with her since she's been an "insider" for decades.

On the subject of Bush - laugh at me if you will - but is anyone else still shocked to see a sitting President make false statements in regards to why gas prices are so high? Bush asserts its all the fault of Democrats in Congress because they won't allow off shore oil drilling, but everything I have read says companies already have leases they are not developing, that the US doesn't have enough oil to make a difference anyway, that we actually need more refineries than to drilling locations, etc. I suppose the Republicans are banking on getting the ear of people who don't have time to collect all the facts, but is anyone else disturbed to see the President of the United States speaking lies to the American people? OK, pick yourself up off the floor, I guess we have gotten used to being lied to by this administration. Still shocks me, though.

And he should pick someone who was against the Iraq war from the start, like a Wesley Clark.

What sunk Obama in the last months of the primaries was that people got to know a little bit more about him on a personal level, and they found out he wasn't that great of a guy. He only won the nomination because of the stupid way the Democrats awarded delegates on a percentage basis, and not winner take all. Typical Democratic way of defining "fairness" I guess.

The ideology differences between Obama and Clinton were nil, but now McCain is pointing out how liberal Obama is relative to the rest of the US. Once that message starts to stick, Obama's poll numbers will plummet.

By November, Hillary will be as forgotten as John Kerry was in 2005. She started the campaign season with the highest disapproval ratings of any of the candidates. Her horrendous campaign and frequent hurtful remarks will not enhance Obama's chances.

We need to think about downticket races as well. If Obama wants to pass universal healthcare, we need a filibuster-proof Senate.

The Republicans are demoralized, and we do not need to throw the "red meat" of the Clintons at them to wake them up.

I think this final paragraph sums up what I've been saying and feeling for months; the greater unknown in our country right now are the true Independents. I wonder how many there really are? We keep seeing things that the polls cannot explain. My last boss remains a good friend and he was a STAUNCH Bush supporter in '00 and '04. He is voting for Obama. You could have knocked me over with a feather when he told me. I live in the very midwest, a battleground state and I have heard an awful lot of my peers whom I would have never thought would go blue, actually campaigning for Obama. It really is a phenomenon. I am trying to 'curb' my HOPE; but it is a wonderful thing to be a True Blue Dem in an often Red environment. The Clinton supporters just don't seem to understand how much the midwest (as evidenced by Iowa) just can't stand them. I was a fan, and I would have supported her - if I didn't have a much better option; but the reality on the ground is that the core Independents would have never supported her. In many of the primaries, that tangible could not be measured or predicted.

Let me preface by saying I am an independant voter that is leaning Obama...

Here's what I don't get about this whole PUMA thing... I realize you are upset that your candidate lost, I realize you're upset about the way she lost, and I realize you're upset about the nastiness of politics. But that and all of your personal feelings aside, isn't Obama closer to your policy prefences than McCain? To me as an independant, Hillary and Obama have nearly IDENTICAL policy positions across the board. Are you so angry your candidate lost that you would vote against your own policy preferences??

For me, I am very concerned about A) The supreme court moving too far to the right on social/civil liberties issues and B) a lack of credibility abroad that stunts our ability to conduct diplomacy effectively.

If McCain could make me feel better about A), I'd probably lean his way.

What is interesting is Florida. Will the voters in FL buy into the offshore drilling arguement. With tourism the primary business the offshore drilling platforms and environmental issues will be played against a perceived gas price break. The questions to be answered are will the oil leases to drill significantly increase production and when? Will the production be beneficial to the U.S. or,as in the case in Alaska, be sent over China and Japan for refinining and to be sold in the far east? What we do know is that the length of time( putting aside serious environmental issues) to acquire the leases and to drill will not impact oil consumption in the U.S. for five to ten years. Also, short and long term solutions of alternate energy sources need to be developed. If we beleive that the oil industry( much of this foreign owned) will freely invest in alernative fuels sources wihtout tax breaks or incentives we are kidding ourselves. This to me is to important of an issue to simply be pandered to in this election. The hard truth is drilling will take place only when the oil companies perceive they can do so to manipulate the pricing for maximum profit. We do know McCain has flipped on the drilling and on a windfall profits tax. Any solution will need to incoroporate gurantees that part of the profits of the oil compaines will go to the development of alternative fuels for national security reasons. With this in mind McCain has no solution other than pander to the oil companies.

If there are those Clinton supporters who won't vote Democrat come Nov., if she is not on the ticket, then so be it.

They are not true Democrats. They are only shooting themselves in the foot by being spiteful and after almost eight yrs of misery under Bush it makes no sense.

If they are Repubs masquerading as Democrats and trying to keep the pot stirred.....a pox on your house. You have no interest in doing anything for the good of your country, just go back in your caves and be miserable.
