Why in the world rank and file Dems put up with this bs is a mystery. It's like watching cheerleaders at a high school football game with the benchwarmer Dems cheering these two idiots on.

I can't put my finger on it but this just doesn't feel right. Maybe it will in time, but I'm pessimistic about the Clinton's and their "me first" mentality. Hillary's words "screw 'em Bill", referring to people who wouldn't support Bill, still rings in my ears. I don't understand people with lots of money who demand that their careless debts be paid by others who didn't incur them. It doesn't sit well with me and maybe I'd be more forgiving if the Clinton's bit the bullet and actually paid their bills themselves. The politics excuse of the "losing candidate" having their debt paid by the winning candidate just doesn't fly and is especially wrong because Hillary knew she had lost the Primary but kept running up her bills anyway. That's just arrogant and spiteful and takes away from the donations Obama could have had without Hillary's financial mess to deal with!

Hillary is "good enough" to work her rear off for Obama,and make him look presidential---but not to be vp---enough said?No wonder so many have deserted this backward party.Obama should be able to win on his own merits not Senator Clintons.Get Kerry,Daschel,Pelosi,Howard,Brazille and the rest of the sooperdoopers to get of their butts and campaign for their chosen guy.Or are they not crowd pleasers.This election is so upside down.

Hillary was right the first time when she said Obama was just a speech.But not so hot today--he seemed unimportant.

I've got to say, I had the opportunity to watch the whole thing, and I think that the both of them are genuinely happy the primary is over, and are quite frankly becoming good friends.

Many times Obama whispered something to her in her ear, which caused her to erupt in laughter or joyous response. As an Obama supporter it was of course wonderful, but the contract the two of them drew was shockingly refreshing and far less forced then I thought it would have been. I think they really enjoy each other. Which I think surprises even the both of them.

The Obama/Clinton campaign team is only going to gain in strength and popularity these next few months. I don't see how in the world John McCain can compete with their message and their phenomenal ability to convey it.

I am very glad that I am not in Senator Clinton's position because I have never campaigned for or voted for the least qualified candidate in any race and I never will! I am sorry that she finds herself in that position.

Democrats for McCain!

This will be tough, but it is enough.

We cannot survive as the "sweet land of liberty" with another 4-8 years like the past 8 years.
It must be enough. Must be.

There are all sorts of "patriotism", but I do indeed doubt the sanity of any American patriot who would cast a vote for more of the same.

Havent seen the news yet, so am waiting to watch "Countdown" - just saw some brief clips of the rally and it looked positive. What disturbs me was reading Howard Fineman's report of his "source's" feelings about it all - a huge Clinton supporter, and a woman. Still seems like there's a lot of victims still out there. "I"m cool with that" about getting Bill Clinton to campaign - what the heck's wrong with that?
Enough with the who owes who. This is serious, people. We need to win this election!

I am waiting still to see what roll Hillary will have in 2009. I was able to watch their get-together & it was very nice, they were extremely friendly, especially O'Bama toward Hillary. To tell you the truth, I just might vote in November if he names her as his VP. He also had a few kind words about Bill.I think we need the Clintons there to keep him from stumbling.

Understanding the need for "unity", and for funding for the general election campaign -- STILL . . . This is Obama's campaign, convention, Party, and will be his Presidency. What is it that makes the Clintons think they should direct his campaign, convention, and Party decisions? How is it that Hillary believes she can demand a prominent, 'top', surrogate role in the campaign, and in the convention? Clearly she makes these demands for self-serving purposes -- to take advantage of the press, limelight etc. to continue her own campaign for Hillary. Note the demand also for a roll call vote at the convention. Granted, Obama has something of a tightrope act in managing the Clintons. But he must not cave in to their power grab, lest he lose his own message, feed into the growing perception that he is just another Washington pol . . . For the millions of us Obama supporters, including the majority now of Clinton's former supporters (who shifted their support to Obama long before Hillary did so recently -- and query if those Clinton supporters who may not do so, the rabid ones, are either needed or would have voted Democratic in the general anyway), -- it would be a disappointment or greater to see Obama cave to the Clinton grab for his campaign. This not about the Clintons now, to their chagrin -- it is about Obama. Obama needs to stand strong and tall -- cabin his use of Hillary -- he does, in fact, have many powerful surrogates, who are, in fact far more persuasive in advancing his candidacy and message than the Clintons. Hillary speaks as if she owns those who voted for her, speaks to audiences as if they are comprised of Hillary supporters who need to be convinced by her to vote for Obama when in fact Obama audiences are peopled by Obama supporters for the most part, who may wonder why Obama would have her suggesting otherwise. It is a very small group that still claim that in light of Hillary's loss they will vote for McCain or stay at home in November -- the focus of the campaign cannot be on that small group. She needs to get the memo -- as her husband did during her own campaign: stop speaking about Hillary, as if she is the candidate, and speak to Obama's policies, positions, person in contrast to McCain. Like all the Obama surrogates who have often been interviewed or addressed voters during the primary and since the inception of the general. This campaign can't be about therapy for the Clintons, about Obama rescuing Bill's legacy, the Clintons' rep, or campaign debt (run up by Clinton mismanagement and continuing to run without the financial backing of Clinton supporters. That is a distraction from what Obama's campaign needs to do now. Obama can't waste time and energy making this about the Clintons -- which is what they apparently want it to be about. Obama is far more effective without Hillary grinning at his side -- standing, not even sitting and letting him take the stage as she did in New Hampshire. Obama can't let the perception grow that he can't win without Hillary. He is winning, and can not only win without her, but she (and Bill) do bring baggage which negatively affects his campaign. Finally, Obama will lose support and power in governing should he cave to the calls to make Hillary his VP -- and those calls will grow the more he makes the Clintons the centerpiece of his campaign.

If I was Obama, my real short list for VP would be down to two choices by now, Hillary Clinton and Wes Clark. Biden and Dodd feel more like cabinet choices. Same for Richardson, who has been there before and might prefer an eventual run for the Senate instead, giving him an enviable resume for a future run at the presidency.

This morning I saw and heard on Good Morning America some idiot from Miami Florida representing former Hillary Clinton voters,PUMA (Partyt Unity My ___), saying that they will not vote for Barrack Obama. What is Florida and PUMA's founding idiots up to this time up to this time? Puma's cause is nothing more than typical Southern and other institutionalized bigotry disguised as as a movement for Hillary Clinton. These are people who would never vote for a Black candidate to begin with, and were dissapointed when America said we are ready for the best qualified presidential candidate who happens to be Black. Florida we know has a history of a corrupt political and voting history as was evident in the 2000 presidential election, as well as in the 2008 presidential primary. Seems that Florida has its own agenda when it come to politics. Why don't we just anex Florida and leave her at the mercy of a catagory 5 hurricane, or better yet, sell it to Cuba. It's no wonder Florida and Michigan Delegates are only getting half a vote at the democratic convention, it's in direct proportion to half a brain that these people possess. P.S. Why is it that these bigots in Florida and elsewhere who are obviously racist and discriminatory towards Black Americans spend all their time in the sun and tanning parlors trying to darken their skin? Insecure or envious?
