Obama says he'll meet with Clinton when race ends?

    You know we will never vote Obama, you are right he needs her now.....mainly to lure us....little does he know how deep our disgust is for him! I don't care as long as he is on that ticket it is not my ticket to ride!

    I have been reading up a lot on MCCAIN and gotten to really like him!

    That is why I am voting for him, I have respect......which totally lacks in my assessment of Obummer!

    Someone made a $ 1 miilion bid for that tape today, it could be Hillary.....some say it is Axelrod. If it is Hillary we will know soon! I know Hannity has it.....he would never give it to the Obama campaign for all the mill in the world!

    @don't hate me Bro is back," he has lost about 8 accounts, he is why we have to anti vote OBummer or we will have garbage like that overflowing the streets!

    If Obama is the Dem nominee and McCain the Republican nominee i will vote Obama. If Hillary is the Dem nominee and McCain the Republican nominee i will vote McCain. Obama is probably to be the Dem nominee although.... States last: Feb 9 Louisiana, Washington (caucus) Feb 10 Maine (caucus) Feb 12 D.C., Maryland, Virginia Feb 19 Hawaii, Wisconsin March 4 Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont March 8 Wyoming March 11 Mississippi April 22 Pennsylvania ought to 6 Indiana, North Carolina ought to 13 Nebraska, West Virginia ought to 20 Kentucky, Oregon June 3 Montana, South Dakota All performed. seems very sturdy for Obama. The "demanding" stuff is behind him, and he has come out in large structure.

    1) better the olive branch than the cold shoulder. If Hillary should pull off the nomination, she will need Obama's supporters too. Only a unified party will win in November.

    2) Not about "falling" about negotiating a price aka offer in compromise for her support. Part of the political tradirtion of BOTH parties.

    3) Yes. Never again will I vote for a republican.

    4) Never say never. Sometimes you gotta swallow your hurt and do what's best for the country. Unless you can honestly say that you think McCain would be a better choice.

    He's meeting with her as all dems do when the race for nomination comes to an end.

    why do you people insist on asking really ridiculous questions on here about obama--he's another candidate, and a politician -- WHY WOULD ANYONE MEET WITH HER AT THIS POINT. You already know the answer.

    Quit trying to make everything suspect and insidious--they're supposed to meet now.

    GEE WHIZ!!!

    First off, that tape doesn't exist. If it did, it'd have come out at the same time Rev. Wright did. You realize that every major media outlet probably bought the whole Trinity collection and watched every minute of it?(and all they came up with were a handful of short clips whose racism is highly debateable on all but one point.) You also realize that this alleged tape takes place after Obama began his presidential campaign, right? It seems highly unlikely that the media would fail to notice that the wife of a presidential candidate attended a rally with Louis Farrakhan. Also, the quotes attributed to her are ridiculous and frankly racist: they assume she cannot speak proper English. The woman is highly-educated and very articulate.

    Now that that BS is cleared away: look at the polls. He doesn't need Hillary. But Hillary needs Obama if she wants to further her political career....

    How did they treat her? I honestly don't even know what you're talking about. Anyway she's desperate for the VP spot no matter how nonchalant she pretends to be. You don't have to worry because he won't even offer her the spot. She'll go back to being a subpar junior senator.

    You wrote here that 'you will never vote for Obama if Hillary is not the nominee'

    That to me sounds childish.

    Whether you agree or not, when Obama emerges as the Nominee, Hilary must Give him all the support thats is needed.

    So keep your vote, he will still win anyway.

    Hillary is the one dividing the party.

    The tape??? Could be the reason for him leaving his Church membership. 20 years too late if you ask me. This guy is NO BETTER than any other corrupt Politician. Although he could very much be MORE DANGEROUS in that he will hijack our Democracy, our Freedoms, our Nation's Sovereignty. Without those, this Country ceases to exist in my opinion.

    Who is the "they" you refer to?

    Obama has been very deferential to Clinton and has not attacked her, even though she has repeatedly attacked him.

    I've heard complaints of sexism from the media, but never sexism from Obama himself.

    Why shouldn't you support him for president if you believe what Hillary stands for?

    Also, you seem to say "now he needs to use Hillary" in a way that implies he is doing something wrong for waiting until after the end of the campaign to ask for her help. Obviously, he wouldn't ask when the campaign was still going on.

    Many times, both of them pledged to help in the general election if the other won the primary. Obama would have helped her. She is definitely going to help him.
