Because most people have never heard of her, and Obama supporters won't attack his choice like they do Hillary. Sibelius would be a terrible choice, to pick another women over Hillary would be a slap in the face to Hillary supporters, but of course the sore winner Obama supporters would like that. If not Hillary, it has to be a blue collar type guy like Rendell or a foreign policy expert like Richardson or Webb.

That's assuming she had decided to end the campaign for the nomination, which she hadn't as of last night. She just ended her primary campaign. She congratulated him on running a strong campaign and said we need a Democrat to win, but to congratulate him for victory would have been premature if she still is working on superdelegates.

No, it was more along the lines of B word, witch, and c#nt.

She doesn't owe Obama anything, why should she kiss his ass after the way his supporters in the public and media have attacked her? If he wants her support and those of her supporters, he should make the first move and offer her the VP spot. If he doesn't, then he can roll the dice and good luck winning without them.

Join the petition to include Hillary on the ticket (assuming Obama remains the choice of superdelegates): http://womenforfairpolitics.com/post/2008/...ny-J-Davis.aspx Petition to: Senator Barack Obama Dear Senator Obama, We write you because we believe it is very important for the Democrats to win back the presidency in 2008. To do so, we must field the strongest possible ticket for the Democratic Party. We believe the 2008 election could be close. And your selection of a vice presidential candidate may make the difference between victory and defeat. We write to urge you to select Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to be your choice for vice president because we believe that she would be, by far, the most qualified and strongest candidate to be your running mate. Both you and Senator Clinton during this campaign have demonstrated strengths in different segments of the electorate and in different parts of the country. Together, you stand the best chance of making U.S. history not once but twice -- the first African American president and the first female vice president since the founding of our great nation. We know this is ultimately your decision on who is to be your running mate. But with the greatest respect, we ask you to select Senator Clinton in recognition of the more than 17 million Democrats who supported her at the polls and who, in combination with your more than 17 million supporters, would form the base of a successful presidential campaign in the November election. Sincerely, "Hillary for VP '08 Committee" Lanny J. Davis Washington, D.C.

Sorry I'm not as PC as you'd like, perhaps you'd prefer I said American Idol to include the youngsters.

I liked him as a sports reporter, but he's as looney as O'Reilly as a political commentator. He doesn't even pretend to be objective anymore since he jumped on the Soul Train.

Your daughter belongs to a school lesbian club?

The way I heard it was more like: 1) Hillary - I'll keep fighting for you 2) McCain - When's the Bingo game start? 3) Obama - Hillary has some great ideas and we should embrace them Of course the media like Keith Olbermann were humping the TV monitors when Obama was speaking.

You can't deny that McCain agrees with Bush on the majority of policy issues, especially Iraq and the economy. He might have some tactical differences, but in general has the same strategic view.

Hillary ended the primary season with another strong win in South Dakota, and worked hard to get the most popular votes in primary history. I'm glad that she gave a strong speech last night that reemphasized why so many people believe she's the best candidate for the Democrats. But it appears that the party leaders are going to side with the media and go with the new kid on the block. If the numbers don't change, hopefully the presumptive nominee will do the smart thing and include Hillary on the ticket. You can't make change unless you have the job, and having both on the ticket is the best path to victory.

Hydroseeding is just seeds mixed in with pulpy material and water to hold it in place. First you mix the pulp mix and water, then throw in a bag of seed, and spray it out. The advantage is it's quicker if you're doing alot of lawns. But you still should have a good base of topsoil to spray it on. Don't know if you can rent one, our's fit in the bed of a pickup. Call a landscaper and get an estimate and see if it's worth having someone else do the work. But you can achieve the same result on a small lawn with a hand spreader.

Maybe he had a fling with a Kenyan woman, and the baby was raised by a woman from Kansas. The truth is out, Obama is Clinton's son!

To echo your analogy, right now I feel like Norwood just missed the kick and some Giant fans are waving "We're #1" fingers in my face. So ask me again in a week.

As I've said before, I can't vote for McCain because of his policies. Maybe the McCain of 2000, but not his 2008 version. The question is whether I'll vote for Obama.

You should be on that detective show "Numbers".

I worked for a landscaper doing this sort of work. First we used a sodcutter to remove the old lawn in the fall. Rototilling will just bury the bad grass and weeds, you won't get them all, and eventually they'll grow through. Then put down a couple inches of topsoil. Use the wide landscaper rake and crosshatch to show any high/low spots that need to be leveled. Then either sod, which is much more expensive but gives you instant lawn (when matching sides, pull both up a bit and then pat down so one edge don't overlap the other), or grass seed and fertilizer. Important thing is to keep it watered, best way is to get sprinklers to cover the entire area and put them on a timer. Then in the spring you'll have to touch up any areas that didn't grow properly (spots too dry or wet).

I believe the blue collar workers she gets are more likely to cross over to McCain than the black voters than he gets, so they are the key demographic. And I've seen stats that show he would lose more voters to McCain than the number of Obama supporters who would sit home if it's her, since Obama supporters are more liberal. But we can agree to disagree. I didn't say I'd back Obama if she concedes, I said if she concedes AND she's part of the ticket. For him to choose another women, when there clearly isn't another as qualified except Diane Feinstein, would be a big disrespect.

Does all phases include who does better with blue collar workers, and whose won the important swing states, and the Hispanic vote throughout the campaign? I don't think it's a waste of time to try to have the best candidate as the nominee, which I believe she clearly is. But obviously she's closer to the possiblities of convincing superdelegates to support her at the convention than I am, so I will defer and support whatever decision she makes. It would make it much easier for her supporters to concede and back Obama if she was part of the ticket. If he doesn't make the offer, then it becomes difficult.

You'll have to ask an Obama supporter, they're the ones who don't use actual votes to determine the winner, but look at exit polls for perceived intent to determine how many votes someone should be given, ala Michigan.

WTF? How do you unofficially change the rule? What rule? You're really reaching now. You said it, it's part of the rules, she isn't trying to change that rule. But usually these people are strong supporters, and therefore she should concentrate on superdelegates first.

She hasn't tried to change that rule; votes determined how many pledged delegates the candidates got (except for Michigan, where exit polls count more than votes, and caucuses). But there's no debate that delegates are what count at the convention. Until they vote at the convention, superdelegates choose the criteria they want to decide how to vote. It could be popular votes, or it could be whose stronger in swing states, or who sends them a Christmas card. It's up to them. And it's up to the candidates to convince the superdelegates. No rule change there. Try again.

Please state specifically what rule she is trying to change. She's not asking that the person who gets the required number of delegates to vote for them at the convention not be given the nomination. She's just trying to get the superdelegates, who are not bound by any criteria to decide who to support, to vote for her, which is within the rules, so she can reach the required number when they vote at the convention and decide who the nominee will be.

Even if you include the caucuses, more people have voted for Hillary than Obama; 17,873,000 to 17,703,000. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/02/dem...race/index.html Fuzzy math is assuming all the people who voted uncommitted were voting for Obama. You can say they didn't vote for Clinton, but you can't say who they did vote for.
