    How about Hugo Chavez of Venezuela as Obama's running mate? He'd guarantee an oil supply, and his politics are only slightly to the right of Obama and Pelosi.

    How about Hugo Chavez of Venezuela as his running mate? Hecould guarantee a below market price flow of oil, and his politics are perfectly suited to Pelosi and Obama. (JW Thompson)

    McCain should run an ad with Obama standing between Pelosi and Reid - that would be a very, very scarey photo - perhaps he should hold it for Halloween. All three are disgusting - absolutely disgusting!

    come on newsWEAK edwards is off the list because he CHEATED ON HIS WIFE, WHO IS DYING OF CANCER BY THE WAY, and has a SECRET LOVE CHILD. Oh, wait, it never happened because the main stream press refused to report on it. oh well.

    In other words, all the democrat VEEP candidates are as uninspiring as Barack Hussein Obama. They bring nothing to the table. How is ol' Nancy holding up now that BHO is going to push to get drilling for oil in the outer continental shelf? She must has crapped a cow when she heard that!!! She has been the road block to protecting our nation. We can better protect ourselves if we are energy self sufficient, and Pelosi wants to keep sending money to Hugo Chavez, her left-wing intellectual lover!!!

    How come John Edwards isn't on the list anymore?? You libs were in love with him 4 years ago. Doesn't America need a multimillionaire ambulance chasing lawyer who cares so much about poor people as Obama's right hand mind. What do you mean "John Edwards who"???

    From CBS News' Allison O'Keefe:

    Barack Obama???s new campaign plane is nothing short of grand. Well, for the candidate that is.

    Obama???s section of the plane rivals that of any first class. Recently the front cabin of the Boeing 757 was retrofitted to install four individual chairs that resemble La-Z-Boys. They are free-standing and made of plush leather with pockets on the sides. There is also a booth which seats four for a meeting or a meal.

    His chair has his name and campaign logo embroidered on the back top -- ???Obama ???08??? on one line and ???President??? underneath. To one side is a small table stacked with newspapers ready for the candidate???s arrival. The table of the booth is always covered in snacks and cheese and is where Obama spends most of his time during flights meeting with staff and sitting for the occasional interview.

    ???Typically the candidate's cabin is like business class -- roomier and less chaotic than the staff and press areas, but still short of the accoutrements of a pro team's charter,??? says Politico???s Mike Allen, a frequent campaign flier.

    After looking at a few photos of Obama???s cabin, Allen quipped, ???Air Force One may seem a tad claustrophobic.??? Check it out for yourself.

    What a heck of an idea!! Obama and Pelosi! No way we drill when they are elected! We can bring our guys home from Iraq instantly. Then it's after the oil companies that are stealing our incomes at $4.00 a gallon. Obama and Pelosi release the countries oil reserves to bring the price of oil down, and then tax the drug companies to give us free health care, and we can use the balance to pay Social Security to the baby boomers. The big corporations that are taking our money can then have their profits taxed to pay for more money going to education. Every student should be given a college education and we can take the ???star wars??? money to pay for that. Iran doesn???t have an atomic bomb so what do we need the star wars program for anyway? Any company polluting should be fined and we should push for an international welfare program funded by America to give the world a better standard of living. We can get the UN to distribute the government???s money to those who need it most. The US should have a $10 an hour minimum wage so the immigrants from Mexico who are trying to feed their families back in Mexico can send their folks more money. Obama can then give the $1000 so folks can buy gas and heat this fall. My daughter is a first time home buyer so she can use the $7500 tax credit Obama wants to give her as a first time home buyer. All the foreclosures that are being processed because people were forced to borrow their equity by the mortgage companies should be refinanced by the government using the government???s money so Americans won???t lose their houses after they lost their equity. There will be a minimum house price set by the government to protect poor people from losing any more equity. That way the government knows they won???t have to bail out people again. We will be able to build that 1000 windmill electric generation place and provide cheap electricity so all the polar bears will not have to die swimming when the ice melts. Obama said his election will stop the oceans from filling up and covering New York City. We can???t let that the oceans fill up because what will happen because those folks will be losing their homes. The government should start now providing more housing in higher places. They can???t lose, women will vote for them because Pelosi is a woman and Obama is going to make sure that everyone has health care and a house. Who won???t vote for that?

    The story is talking about Chet Edwards not John Edwards. Its hard to believe that Obama would select a representative from a state that he is going to lose like Texas. He needs more experience.on his ticket. For more on this election go to http://www.eworldvu.com

    DESPERATION!

    a NEVER HEARD OF VP CONTENDER ...

    I bet Obmama has a hell of a time attracting anyone.

    The new book "Obama Nation" will cause a huge drop for Obama in the polls!

    YA GOTTA LAUGH ...

    Perhaps the unreverend Wright?

    John Edwards would be a great choice because he has stood up for the common people.

    • Posted By: Dencal26 @ 08/03/2008 8:33:58 PM

      John Edwards was partners in a Company that FORECLOSED on Katrina Victims Homes. All common people.

    Pelosi is perhaps the Worst Speaker of the House in my 52 years on this planet. She is accomplished nothing. Her Congress has a 9% approval. She failed to follow up on her promises to stop funding the war and to lower gas prices. Her Congress passed Warrantless Wiretaps. And these had nothing do to with a slim majority.

  • Posted By: Dencal26 @ 08/03/2008 8:29:54 PM

    Why not . Chet Edwards is probably more experienced than Obama. Choose him just because he is the Congressmen in Crawford Texas . The idiotic partisan hate from Pelosi is more than amazing,

  • Posted By: nonagzone @ 08/03/2008 8:17:40 PM

    I think he should put Nancy on the ticket. She is a proven leader. She can unite the parties. Obama and Pelosi 2008. It is the is his best chance. Anything said about his can be called begoted and anthing against her can be said they are women haters or again italians.

    Selecting Richardson, who may have a few skeletons in his closet, would continue to outrage Clinton's supporters. Not a good idea! Picking Edwards (TX) would result in a ticket that looks like this: thin resume with no name recognition. Again, not a good idea. Ditto Kaine, who would bring other problems. Of the remaining names on the list,accodingly to this article, Biden and Bayh are really the only ones that make sense. But the winning ticket would undoubtedly be Obama-Clinton.

    Was this in her book? I must have missed that chapter.

  • Posted By: bobojake @ 08/03/2008 6:59:37 PM

    nancy a pushing obama will sell just about as good as her book. should of printed the book in paper so it could of been used in the outhouse.

  • Posted By: brentdavid36@yahoo.com @ 08/03/2008 6:09:12 PM

    Cindy54633...Is Pelosi really a trader? If so, what type of goods does she trade? Also, how has this article "proved" that Obama is a mask for her? Finally, did you finish high school?

  • Posted By: AC7880 @ 08/03/2008 5:59:47 PM

    When Pelosit shut down the House without solving our energy crisis I made my decision. I am voting a straight republican ticket.
