Announcement of running mates is coming up pretty soon. Who do you think McCain and Obama will pick?

Personally, I think Hillary Clinton would be great for Obama. It sounds like Obama wants his VP to have a lot more responsibility than VP's in the past. Hillary would definitely be willing to get work done.
 
well if mccain was smart hed name romney as his running mate because alot of people think that mitt should still be in the running so it would help his case out
 
obama needs someone who has actually done something....

sorry, but making good speeches, and being a community organizer doesnt cut it..

o, my bad, he has been in the senate for a few years..
 
i think if mcain was smart hed ask condalisa rice or colin powell so then he would get some of the african american votes and take them away from obama
 
could you show me what you are talking about?

o, and barack isnt much better, "typical white person" you dont need me to type the rest of them..

you have no idea how much it would amuse me if Barack picked hillary, THEY HATED EACH OTHER ! haha

"A president can't vote 'present.' A president can't pick and choose which challenges he or she will face," Clinton said.

Obama's campaign shot back at the New York senator, touting his

support of abortion rights and a Springfield record that included

helping reform the death penalty.

"Barack Obama doesn't need lectures in political courage from

someone who followed George Bush to war in Iraq, gave him the benefit

of the doubt on Iran, supported NAFTA and opposed ethanol until she

decided to run for president," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said.

'The poor guy'

One of Obama's "present" votes was on 1999 legislation that would

have required teens 15 and older to be tried as adults for firing

weapons on or near school grounds. He was among five African-American

senators voting present.

"I'm for getting guns off the streets, but I'm not for treating

these juveniles as adults," said state Sen. Rickey Hendon (D-Chicago),

who voted "present" with Obama.

On the abortion bills, legislators who supported women's rights to

the procedure were encouraged to vote "present" on bills that would

have required parental notice before minors could obtain abortions and

that would have barred what abortion foes call "partial-birth"

abortions, a leading abortion-rights advocate said. The goal was to

entice moderate Republicans and Democrats to also vote present, helping

to defeat the bills.

"The poor guy is getting all this heat for a strategy we, the

pro-choice community, did," said Pam Sutherland, president and CEO of

the Illinois Planned Parenthood Council.
