Comment: The first poll taken since Obama announced his VP shows a dead heat of 47% to 47% compared to last week when Obama had a slight lead over McCain. A possible problem for the Democrats is the Clinton supporters who were supposed to fall in line after the primaries. But three months later, Obama only had a 52% support from Clinton supporters, while 21% supported McCain and 27% were unsure or supported someone else. Is the latest poll an indication of how they will react to Hillary’s exclusion, especially when it is now rumored that she wasn’t even vetted. Based on CNN’s electoral map, Obama now has a slight edge in electoral votes, 221 to 189. But they are speculating that if the Clinton supporters stay in the McCain column, the states leaning Clinton such as PA, OH, MI and FL could go red. These four states alone would give McCain the additional electoral votes to reach the 270 he needs to win.

Comment: Understand.....these "polls" are mostly ALWAYS a reflection of what "they" WANT vs.....what really IS!! They like to subliminally steer "the herd" rather than report the facts & let "the herd" decide what THE HERD wants!! And...ESPECIALLY when such "a change" is .....on it's way! One!

Comment: I am sooooo damn happy that Obama didn't select that racist, conservative azzed Evan Bayh. I'm a Black hoosier who has witnessed this fake azzed chump for many years. Wherever the wind blows, you'll find Evan Bayh. Strangely enuff, his Father was one of the greatest senators in US/Indiana history. He fought a lot of racism to help Black folks but the son is the exact opposite. A smiling fraud who'd send us back to Africa, if it meant political advancement!!!

Comment: Fanteeking, you know, even though I've never known that much about Evan Bayh, it's so funny I've gotten the same impression as you about him! He has a very if not racist, "racially insensitive" way about him. Not impressed with him at all. And as much as I hate to co-sign Reds, I'm going to have to, at least a little. I am NOT excited about this Biden pick, not in the slightest. Funny thing is I thought I was the only one for a while, all the politicos on TV seem to like the pick, and one person even told me I need to get over the one issue I harp on (Iraq war), lol. I was like, "okay I guess you're right, I'll try to look past the fact this dude voted for it." But since then, I've heard more everyday people, not the politicos, express the same letdown I feel. I feel deflated. I am not excited about this candidacy anymore I have to admit. I find myself tuning out more now, rather than following all the coverage. Biden didn't even carry his own state. He's OLD as heck. He does NOT represent "change," not in the slightest. And if BO was going to go for the same old, why not go for Clinton who at least would have guaranteed a bounce in numbers? Beyond that, Biden reminds me of McCain, someone with this pseudo "maverick" reputation, who talks a lot, but really says nothing. Fakes being a maverick, but really just totes party line, and goes the way of the wind (read: Iraq). So I'm not excited. And I am concerned that this once seemingly sure victory for the Dems is now in jeapordy. I hope I'm wrong, but right now, I'm not optimistic, I must say. :(

Comment: LOL . . . . . I am thrilled that the clintoons are not veep . . . . . the repugs already have an ad aimed at creating discard among dems about not selecting the clintoons . . . . . for BHO haters, a McAintMaverick ad shows Hclintoon saying that the BHO campaign has become more negative followed by an azzertion that she wasn't selected because she tells the truth . . . . . . the repugs have a war room set up near the convention and are orchestrating anti-BHO demonstrations . . . . . all y'all who are down in the dumps because Hclintoon was not selected will get the government that you deserve if McBoosh is elected, bet on it and wallow in it

Comment: Barack had better watch his back. I don't feel very comfortable with a vice president who was trying to get the presidential nomination himSELF. I KNOW Biden has the necessary foreign policy experience, yada, yada, yada, YADA, YADA, YADA, YADA, YADA, BUT, I would've been more comfortable with some OTHER unknown experienced person who hadn't been trying to occupy the Oval Office back in January.

Comment: for O-BA-MA!!: Psalm 40 (King James Version) 9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me . . . . . . for McCain: Proverbs 12 (New International Version) 19 Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
20 There is deceit in the hearts of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace. 21 No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble. 22 The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.

Comment: and for those who would slam the HRC supporters, how would you feel if the shoe were on the other foot? these people were emotionally invested in her candidacy, and they feel she was treated unfairly, so if they want to cut off their noses despite their faces, so be it. if it's meant to be, it will be, and if not, then i guess we'll have to endure 4 more years of mclame. altho whoever said McLame should pick HRC, boy would that make for an interesting race...

Comment: As far as the Rethugs go, it didn't matter if Hilary or Biden got the nod. They both had said Obama wasn't experienced enough to be President so I'm sure they had ads waiting no matter which one won. They've already used Hilary's words against Obama. However, I feel that choosing Hilary would have assured a win because of her fanatical supporters. And I'm not a Hilary fan. I feel Biden doesn't fit Barack's theme of "change" (neither does Hilary but she has the supporters). I would rather he picked Kaine or Richardson. I don't feel confident at all anymore about a Democrat win.

Comment: Regardless of Biden's foreign experience, Obama should have went with somebody else. But then again, it should not surprise me. Black folks fail to understand that regardless how much 'change' Obama promotes, things end up staying the same. His choice of Biden makes absolutely no sense to me. It will be interesting to see if Obama will be 'denouncing' Biden if he says something stupid.

Comment: JGGirl, co-sign, I don't feel confident anymore either, and this is even before McCain picks a VP! Now McCain has more leeway with his pick. If he chooses a woman, it's all over, he wins. If he chooses a Southener, he wins. So many choices he has now. I'm hoping for something to happen to make BO change his mind. This can't be happening, it just can't. smh

Comment: you know, everybody is going to have their own opinion and thoughts on Obama's choice. some don't like his choice. well, that is your perogitave. i myself like Joe Biden. the man has spunk, he has been in washington policitcs for a long time so he knows the ins and out of the process. he does not hold his tounge some folks say he talks too much and maybe he does but at least he gets your attention when he does speaks and he speaks his mind. he knows about forgein affairs, and Obama said he said he wanted a vice president that can challenge his views. so he chose Biden. and if folks don't like his choice, then sorry! *shrugs shoulders* i'm standing with his choice.

Comment: I think Obama chose Biden to balance him out somewhat? Clinton was out of the question and not many people share his version of "change", so it's not wise to go for a nobody out of nowhere to try & protect that image. Through doing volunteer work with the phone bank I've found that a good percentage (at least here in Virginia) are UNDECIDED. That is a scary thought. I don't think Obama wanted to gamble too hard with his VP pick. To be honest, I don't know who people were expecting? Some mayor from somewhere? Who?

Comment: well, let's recap: a black American man played by white people's rules to get to this place in the 21st century . . . . the black American man is being held accountable for the loss incurred by his white primary race opponent despite the fact that the white opponent ran a very poor "inevitable" campaign and threw every vile thing at him, yet, still he stands . . . . . the black American man is already vilified by the opposition party because he briefly vacationed in the state of Hawaii where the black man paid respects to his dead white mother and visited his white grandmother, the white opposition saying that Hawaii seemed somehow exotic and unAmerican . . . . . . the black man asked for and received accommodations that his white primary race opponents have two nights of presentations at the party's four night nominating convention . . . . . unless there is a nominating coup, the black man will make his acceptance speech on August 28, 2008 which is 45 years ago to the day that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made his "I Have A Dream" speech . . . . . . on that day, I will stand in prayer and appreciation for this achievement by Barack Obama which is no small matter and I thank GOD for this moment no matter whether O-BA-MA!! wins [prayerfully] or loses

Comment: For all the naysayers questioning this move, who were the options. Bayh, Kaine, Sebellius, Clinton (well not really) and Biden. Of the three, who is the most experienced legislator? Biden. Who has the most foreign policy experience? Biden. Who has the history of being well-liked and working across lines. Biden. Who has been consistent throughout the years? Biden. None of the afore can hold a candle to Biden w/the exception of the emotions a Clinton pick have had. But it goes no further than that. Emotions. Change? What change would a Clinton pick have brought? We are being blinded by the media and mos def republicans who are now crying foul that Hellary wasn't chosen. She didn't need to be. The thugs would've have split her a new one despite how hard of a campaigner we feel as if she is. Biden has been consistent. He didn't lose his voice, to find his voice, to become a man, to become the champion of the poor (former Edwards' role) to then Elly May Clampett all in the same election cycle. He's been consistent, well-liked is not known for being a partisan hack like Hellary. Biden is the obvious choice if Obama seriously wanted to win the yt house. I'm glad that he choice my initial pick... Obama/Biden '08...the winning combination.

Comment: Honestly Biden brings nothing to the table. He can't even get enough support to get out of the Iowa Caucus. The only other two valuable candidates for VP were Clinton and John Edwards. his campaign and Clinton's didn't get along, so that nixed her. Edwards...well we know why he couldn't pick Edwards. Biden was just the best out of the second string of candidates. However, Biden brings nothing in.

Comment: For those that think that Obama has not won the office of the Presidency, I hear you. But Obama has won in many other way's and did what no person of color has ever done and he beat the very powerful Clinton machine. When I look at the crowds that come out to support him, I feel history is about to be made regardless of the "polls"(if you don't have a home phone you don't get called, I know too many ppl that have only a cell phone).

Comment: BET finally gets on board and announces that they will cover this. TV One has been advertising this for a while and I am very interested in what their correspondents will be saying, unlike those BETs chosen. There is such a disconnect here with BET. For instance, I love "A Different World" and set my DVR for it, but I hate that it comes on BET late at night. The commercials are too horrible for such a great sitcom as "A Different World." I am thankful for being able to fast forward~

Comment: I think Biden was the best choice. No, he is not exciting. But McCain has been using Sen. Obama's supposed 'celebrity' against him. So another exciting person on the ticket, to me, would have perpetuated this myth that an Obama ticket was not truly serious about solving the problems of this country. As for the Billary supporters...you know...it's time to be real here. They're acting as if they're the only people in history to ever not have their candidate become the nominee. Sen. Obama has kissed Hillary's azz up, down, front and backwards and even licked the nasty thing. And she and her 'supporters' still aren't satisfied. The fact that they 'can't get over it', only perpetuates one of the many nasty myths about women in general. Too emotional, always crying.... The point is this: Hillary Clinton thinks she's slick. She is clearly telling her supporters something completely different than what she's saying publically. Her supporters can't get over her loss, because now Billary has sent that piece of trash Carville, Wolfson, Begala, Rendell...every slob that supported her, out to do interviews on the pundit shows slamming Sen. Obama. It is not in their best interests for Sen. Obama to win. They need the path to be free and clear and 2012(though where they think they'll get votes from after messing up Barack Obama's chances, I'll never know). I really wouldn't be surprised if they secretly hooked up with McCain, or worse yet, if it was this faction of the Democratic Party that pulled something on election day. And some of these women Hillary supporters are SOOOOO unstable looking, I honestly think that the Secret Service needs to be watching out for them in regards to protecting the Obama family.

Comment: TGen--I'm genuinely shocked at what you had to say. Please do some research to make yourself feel better about this candidacy. I am very excited--the fact that he didn't pick Hillary shows his strength--why would you invite a serpent married to an even larger serpent into your house????????? Not only is Biden experienced in the areas that is perceived that BO lacks(which I don't believe to be true) but its all about perspective--he will have a great influence on his next door state (my home state) of Pennsylvania! I don't have much time--so I'll just say this--STOP listening to the polls--they are based on past voters--BOs campaign is also based on NEW voters--please volunteer--you'll have a better idea of what's going on. Also, women aren't stupid--I don't care how much these Hillary supporters say they won't vote for BO--the majority of them will come november because they will (except for the rabidly racist ones) vote for their own interests which is the democratic ticket.

Comment: New RNC Attack Ad: In a web video, the Republican Party of Texas hits back Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., on the "housing" issue in a web video that attacks the Democrat because his half-brother George lives in a shack outside Nairobi, Kenya.
"Barack Obama has viciously attacked John McCain and his family for being successful and living the American dream," says the ad's narrator.
...
"...but ask yourself this: If Obama cares so much about your family why doesn't he doesn't take care of his own family first. Barack Obama lives in this house..." (image of Obama's house)
"...wants to live in this one..." (image of White House)
"...while his own brother lives in this one." (image of Obama's half brother George.)
Okay but McCain left and cheated on his wife and 10 year old kid. This same wife waited for John while he was a POW for years in Vietnam. Also Cindy McCain has a half sister that she pretends not too have, who was cut out the Daddy's will. Also how do we know that Obama's half brother doesn't enjoy living a simple life in Kenya.

So when no one watches this kind of programing and they just continue on with the booty shakin, we shouldn't say a d@am thing.

Comment: Quanli: "To be honest, I don't know who people were expecting? Some mayor from somewhere? Who?" What's so funny is this notion that Obama ONLY had the three or four mentioned to choose from, lol. There are MILLIONS of people he could have chosen. Personally, I think if the list was as limited as most (in the media) claim, Kaine would have been a better fit: young, change message in tact, with BO from jump waaaay back in Feb 07, b4 anyone else, governor of a "red"-leaning state, and the list goes on. But if the list wasn't that limited, BO would have been best to go with a Dem governor who had been in office a while, a la Rendell (even though I'm not a fan of his either), but someone like that. It's a FACT, Americans are leary of Senators, they almost NEVER win the presidency. Governors win. Don't know why they do, they just do. The better balance would have been in the way of a governor, NOT a 35 year vet of a Congress with a 14% approval rating! lol I think BO has lost his footing a little bit, he has allowed the media to drive his decisions. The media is the one that hyped up Biden and the other [so-called] "finalists." I think had BO gone with a gut feeling (the same kind that got him to this point in the first place), rather than a calculated one, he would have made a much better decision. I don't care what anyone says, I know for a fact the majority of Americans are not excited about Biden, and BO should be concerned because once young people in particular stop getting excited, they don't go to the polls. Like I'm said, I'm still hoping for an upset in the campaign, something to get rid of Biden.

Comment: People just need to stop hiding behind excuses like feminism and lack of experience, etc., when you know the issue is RACE. This man has parents who were both Ivy League Educated; his grandfather was a veteran and his grandmother was a working woman. Said that to say Obama's credentials match and in some cases EXCEED all other candidates, but the problem is his skin tone is a little darker. The choice is clear: more of the same or HOPE for a change. No we DON'T know what an Obama presidency can bring, but we DO know what 30 years of republican rule [minus the 8 clinton years] is all about. AreAmericans are that stubborn and stuck on a man's skin tone, that they hide behind their values. Michelle herself is Ivy-League Educated, just like Hillary!!

Now in addition to staying to long in a race that was long over, in addition to trying to make Obama responsible for her campaign debt for a race she stayed in far too long, now he must be upstaged at the convention because ?????? Had Hillary won, I don't believe Obama would have insisted at being nominated at the Convention.

Comment: No point in me lying, if hellary had won the most delegates, most states, and most votes, I would've reluctantly voted for the democratic ticket..had she been placed on the ticket as VP I would not have voted for that ticket at all. Fortunately we don't have to worry about that cuz she did neither. TGEN..a governor? You mean a person who has been governor for only 4 years? THAT is the person you see stepping into the presidents slot should some'n happened to Obama? Quite interesting I must say. Who knows about Kaine outside of DMV? Obama is set to possibly win VA even w/out Kaine. He is set to win PA w/o Hellary. Obama didn't have a lot of people to choose from..no candidate ever does. Sure there are people we would "prefer" to see but elections are not just about winning. It's governing. In case you all forgot, we are currently witnessning what some pundits pointed out in the primary...the clintons are attempting to tear Obama down to the point that he is perceived as not winning w/out hellary on the ticket. Well she's not. He'll do fine w/the most experienced VP choice that was floated around. Obama/Biden '08...take that John McFlame

Our protests would have fallen on dead ears had she won and we wanted Obama as the VP. And her ex-supporters need to stop making up yet another reason to not feel excited about Biden. they said they were looking at McCain because he has more experience than Obama. Had Hellary been on the ticket, they would've voted because she reinforces strengths Obama is perceived as lacking. Now these same people are tripping because he chose a person more experienced than her. Thus making the experience argument null and void. Experience aint' it...you just wanted her on the ticket...

Comment: Musb: "Obama didn't have a lot of people to choose from..no candidate ever does." Says WHO? This is the erroneous blub that people keep throwing about. Nonsense! There are plenty of people he could have chosen, PLENTY. Lest we forget, there are 100 Senators, and hundreds of Congresspeople, 50 governors, 50 LT Governors and countless military (Wes Clark anyone?) and businesspeople he could have chosen from. You are falling for the media's talking points. And you completely miss the point on Kaine. It's NOT about geography (neither was the Biden pick btw with Delware and it's THREE delegates, lol). It's about perception, excitement, message, chemistry. You just don't get it--but you will. Also, your logic on voting for Hillary for P but not VP is just...um...weird, lol. Makes not sense at all. But I digress on that. Allaboutlydia, you get it. If he was going to go the Senator route, it should have been a bombshell. Clinton or Hagel would have kept the ticket interesting. Blah Biden is just not where it's at, it's just not. (Dude can't even say Obama's name! lol That rally was embarrasing for both of them, clearly they are not familiar with each other, no chemistry as of yet, imo).

Comment: TGEN..I follow politics just like you. I'm not the authority on politics and neither are you. I'm not a democratic pollster/strategist/staffer and neither are you. I listen to the news and make an observation just like you. If there were hundreds of people Obama could have chosen from...you would have named them. You only named one (KAINE) which means to me that you didn't have anybody else in mind to bolster your claim about his choices. I haven't missed the point about Kaine, you just haven't made a good one. You brought up him being a governor of a red state but now you're saying that it's not about geography. Well y mention it at all? Outside of this area what "excitement" does Kaine bring to a ticket? Absolutely nothing. Had hellary won the most delegates/states/votes I would have voted for her because the democratic party nominated the person who won. Had she campaigned in a much different way against Obama, I would have accpeted her as the VP choice. She did not. Obama picking her would mean that he was forced to put her on the ticket and cowtowed to the clinton's every desire...(debt, convention roles {all three clintons}, her floor vote and THEN the VP slot? No thanks. That's not the way I would've wanted Obama to be on her ticket and reverse is the same. I liken the USA track and fielder who won the bronze after two other guys were disqualified.. he said "i still lost." So what I "get" is that Obama now has a seasoned politcal vet w/3o+ years of solid domestic and foreign policy experience that can't be refuted. I would rather him take a chance on a biden whose successes are documented rather than what you "think" Kaine may accomplish. We have enuff of that w/obama re: what we "hope" he will do. I'd much rather Obama lose an election w/a ticket that has the change "we've been waiting for" and the experience required to govern than all the change we need w/out the experience. You would rather him choose somebody that makes you I choose experience. That's why your name is TGEN..mine is herbs.

Comment: The Clintons may indeed be in cahoots with McCain, because they know McCain's old azz can only serve one term. And he might not make it through that, as his memory may begin to seriously fade in a year or two (google "Margaret Thatcher" and see how quickly her memory failed her once she hit her mid-70s). At any rate, the Clintons would love to see Barack fail so that she could run in O-12. But if that case becomes reality, Hillary won't have as much Black support as she'd like because many of us would remember her being such a sore loser now.

Comment: What Joe Biden said in Barack Obama back in March of 2007 was true. Barack Obama is clean, smart, and articulate. It was the media and race baiters that found so-called "offense" in that comment. I have no problem with Barack Obama picking Joe Biden as his running mate. He has an excellent record when it comes foreign policies.

Comment: HarrisThomas, I have been making the same point to my friends. Hillary supporters continue to talk about how Obama can't win with out them. They seem to not realize that come 2012, 2016 that she can't win without his supporters. What makes them think that any of his supporters are going to vote for her considering how they are doing him.

Comment: Yes, Biden did say those things, but I'll charge that to the game. BIDEN IS THE ANTI-HILLARY since the world SWEARS Obama cannt win the election without Hillary. If your sharpest critic can come around and join you, then that says a lot to me. I believe this is a wise choice. Perhaps the others had skeletons in their closets and could not pass the vetting process and that's why they didn't get picked.

Comment: TGen, I know I'm steppin in the shop a bit late, but I gotta agree with my boy 'Herbs on this one. Biden is an excellent pick. Frankly, I don't see what other candidate he could have chosen that didn't come with some degree of problem. At one time, I seriously entertained O picking Kaine as VP, but any which way you put it, that pick reinforced the idea of inexperience... two young whippersnappers. A senator of 3.5 years. Kaine, a governor of 2.5 years. How in the world are you going to sell that to America when the major argument that McCain has is that Obama is an empty suit, a celeb, a pretend president? While it appears that Obama and Kaine are good friends and would appeal to the youth/change vote, Kaine reinforced Obama's perceived weakness. Plus, Kaine is mild mannered like my boy 'Rak. Biden will getacha! And his spunk is something that 'Rak needs. Personally, I really like Kathleen Sibelius. But, due solely to those Hillary disgruntled supporters, her bid was dead from day one, because there was no way they would allow him to pick another woman other than Hellary. And Sibelius reinforced the "lacking foreign policy credentials" talking point. So she was a no-go. I also like Jim Webb for reasons similar to Kaine. But his run for VP would mean the loss of a Democratic senator in a traditionally red-leaning state and it would serious threaten the Democratic majority in the Senate, so Webb was a no-go. Virtually all others in the field of consideration were either not well known enough to add anything to the ticket (remember Obama and his people are still introducing O to the Amurican people). So picking a relative unknown (nationally) would mean a serious introduction of both the Presidential nominee AND the VP nominee. Uh uh. No thank you. Biden is a winner with credentials that no one could question. I like this pick. And when you weigh the field against all others that we heard about, Biden was the best of the bunch.
