Hillary Clinton is still saying all the right things. Do Obama want the Clintons in the White House? Or will he make his first big mistake?

Jefferey Johnson:
According to CBS, Senator Hillary Clinton is by far the favorite choice for the number two spot on the Democratic ticket, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll of delegates to the Democratic convention. When asked who they would like Barack Obama to select, 28 percent volunteer her as their top choice for Vice Presidential nominee. Six percent volunteer Delaware Senator Joe Biden, and four percent mention two other unsuccessful Democratic candidates: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former North Carolina Senator John Edwards. [Most of the interviews for this poll were conducted before Edwards admitted to having an extramarital affair.] Another 4 percent volunteer Indiana Senator Evan Bayh.

Chris Goodridge:
Only time will tell whether Obama is a real deal breaker. Or not. Choose Hillary (and win in November) and have Bill back in the White House, or, pick someone else and make his first big mistake.

Ambrose Aban:
Will his choice be personal or will it be professional?

Chris Goodridge:
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, is still a hugely popular international political icon, and still saying all the right things.

George Tyler:
Ok what do you think about Obama's response to a question over the weekend when he said "it is above my pay grade"? For me, Obama lost to McCain over the weekend,at the forum on faith chaired by evangelical pastor, Rick Warren. He later accused McCain of cheating.

Phil Spencer:
I think the media is still siding Obama, they even said that McCain was cheating in the forum on Saturday night. It was so clear that McCain was better and for the first time, McCain bashers (Jack Cafferty and the others), think McCain was crisp, clear, to the point and simply was better.

Ambrose Aban:
Both of them didn't say "queers, I will fully support same-sex marriage". None of them is gayer or queerer than the other. I am an Obama fan, but this time McCain, in my professional and personal opinion, is better and more believable. When asked at what point a baby is entitled to human rights, McCain answered without blinking an eyelid "at conception". Obama earlier said "women should not take this decision casually". Their difference is striking on the issue of life and values. People believe McCain.


Chris Goodridge:
That's typical of Obama. A sign of weakness. They have vastly different position on abortion. Obama is definitely weaker. McCain is stronger.

Phil Spencer:
I agree. Totally to the point and we didn't sense his hesitance whatsoever.

George Tyler:
Obama was unsure of himself. He looked afraid. Not a brave leader...while McCain says he'd rather lose in November than war.

Chris Goodridge:
Don't get me wrong. The forum was designed for McCain, not Obama. McCain did way better. Also, the audience - conservative people like McCain. Obama didn't stand a chance. Obama should, for the love of God, and for the sake of America, pick Hillary as his running mate.

Ambrose Aban:
Should she accept it? And get blame for his failure in the future?

Jefferey Johnson:
I hope she will not accept. She is too good to be the Vice President.

Phil Spencer:
I agree 100%. She should not accept it but at least it will show that Obama is thinking. Another thing - Oprah Winfrey, who is Obama's #1 supporter, should be so happy to hear that McCain does not want to take money away from anyone including rich people. He wants everyone to be rich in this country. So, good news for Oprah.
