CNN reports that talks are currently underway to end the Democratic race. As I mentioned yesterday, one scenario puts Hillary on the ticket as V.P. Here's the video.
Update: I'd started to wonder why CNN seemed to have taken this story out of rotation, and had no mention of it on its webstie. TPM now has both the Clinton and Obama camps down as saying that CNN's story was bunk: No formal talks.
Report This! KEEP UP THE FIGHT HILLARY . NO ONE HAS THE MAGIC NUMBER YET! ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION.WOMEN DESERVE TO BE HEARD AT THE CONVENTION ALSO. THIS ISN'T THE MILLION MAN MARCH. THIS IS FOR NOMINATION OF A PRESIDENT. NOT SO FAST OBAMA! NOTHING COUNTS UNTIL THE CONVENTION--NO VOTE COUNTS UNTIL WE VOTE AT THE CONVENTION THIS INCLUDES SUPERS. (they givith they can take away) KNOW THE FACTS.

mydurango2 11:26:56 AM May 08 2008 Hillary should get back into the kitchen and laundry room, just as ALL women should. Know your places for God's sake!! It's not in any type of important decision making positions. Face it, women can't handle anything outside of obeying orders and some can't even do that well!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WOW ARE YOU EVER A SEXIST!!! Women had to fight for the right to vote in this country. BLACK AND WHITE MEN HAD THE VOTE 75 YEARS BEFORE WOMEN WON THE RIGHT TO VOTE. Women faught for the right to vote, JUST LIKE HILLARY CLINTON IS FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHT OF WOMEN TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY. As for you sexist wierdo, it seems you feel the only quallifications needed to become president is having a penis.

I am not a Democratic - never have been - but I'm increasingly admiring Hillary's fortitude in this nasty campaign. I'm sensing that the mainstream media is forcing Obama on us and I deeply resent that. The DNC made the rules about the early primaries that have cost Florida and Michigan the votes, but I certainly hope that regular voting Dems will correct this ridiculous "insider" attempt to control the votes. It's outrageous that all the votes cannot be counted. It's time for the Dems to stop manipulating this campaign and let the voters decide.

I am a 45 year old white woman and I am voting for Barack, Some of the woman on this site and their comments infuriate me. I am voting for Barack because he is well qualified for the job, Hillary is a selfish woman who doesn't care what she's doing to the democratic party, she should have bowed out over a month ago, she's a ego maniac.

David Knowles,
Can you explain why you and all of the other main-stream media have been pushing Obama down America's throat for the entire campaign, and what can possibly excuse the horrendous way that you have all treated Hillary? The one-sidedness of the news is nauseating.
How can you expect women - who have all been sitting back and watching this spectacle - not to be enraged?

The reality is that this primary season has been exceptionally good for Democrats. The news is filled with stories about the two Democratic rivals for the party's nomination. Record numbers of new voter registrations have been facilitated by BOTH historic campaigns. The campaign contributions to these two Democrats has made the Republican party seek welfare in the form of federal matching funds to support McCain.
With the level of enthusiasm, energy, and excitement so high for BOTH candidates by their Democratic primary supporters, it's time for the party to insist on a presidential ticket which includes BOTH Obama and Clinton for the general election. Neither candidate has been able to win a sufficient number of delegates to win the nomination. Perhaps the voters voices should be heard --- they want BOTH candidates, and cannot choose between the two.
HILLARY TAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION!!!! OBAMA CAN NOT WIN IN NOV. REAL MEN VOTE FOR WOMEN. LESS THAN MEN ARE AFRAID!

HJ,
Thank you for your comment. First of all, this is a blog where our writers offer opinion. We've had our share of negative pieces on Obama (see Justin's just above mine).
Your way of seeing this implies that any negative look at Clinton is a negative look at all women. Given the so many of the commentators who have criticized Clinton are themselves women, I'm hard pressed to make this same conclusion.
Is there sexism in this world? Yes. Are there some who won't support Hillary because she is a woman? Again, yes. My criticisms of her candidacy, and the occasions when I"ve taken time to praise her policies and style, haven't been based on a dislike of women, nor of a fear of the genuine need for women to break the glass ceiling.
I was raised by a feminist mother, who became the first woman to reach a very high position in a large U.S. bank. I'm married to a brilliant Ph.D. who is the primary bread-winner for our family. I take care of my two kids after I pick them up from school.
Speaking form myself, I just happen to prefer Obama to Clinton. That choice is not, by definition, sexist.
