1. DanAbrams just got the news from Chuck Todd and reported it

[polichick]

2. Hopefully the veep talk will end after this.

[eleny]

4. No word yet on when the time of the meeting was decided

Todd said it was probably decided today.

[blonndee]

5. I hope...

I wonder why he would meet with her about VP now, though. He just said he wasn't making any decisions anytime soon.

[eleny]

6. Todd said it might make it better for her upcoming speech

To ease things for her supporters.

[polichick]

9. I don't think they're meeting about that - but her surrogates might stop...

...pushing it if she's sure he's going to take his sweet time.

[blonndee]

11. Do you think he might be

telling her no? OMG...

I bet it's just a peacekeeping mission. :)

[polichick]

13. I think Barack will make it clear that he'll do what he wants to do...

...in his own time.

I agree that it's about unity/peacekeeping.

[Zhade]

21. Maybe he's made a decision...

"Not you. Go home."

[mcctatas]

3. He's negotiating with terrorists???

that freaking appeaser!

*Just a little joke, I hope it is a productive meeting, I'm sure that they will find common ground and do what is best for the party and the country.....

7. .

:spank:

[polichick]

10. He means what he says about sitting down with your enemies!

[TeamJordan23]

8. Drudge is saying they met at Georgetown. nm

[eleny]

12. Her home is what's being reported now

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

14. I don't get it ... why have a meeting ?

He does'nt owe her anything? He does'nt have to broker a deal with her about anything?If she cares so much about the Democratic Party why does'nt she just fall in line with the rest of us,roll up her sleeves and think of ways to beat McCain? Obama won the nomination yet its still all about her.This is why people are calling her selfish and entitled.

And how long does it take for someone to say the words "I concede.I endorse Obama."Its not about you anymore Hillary.This is just damn stupid.

[polichick]

15. He knows how to dissipate anger to get where he needs to go...

He won't do anything stupid ~ and imo there's zero chance he'll put her on the ticket.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

16. You have a good point ...

Meet with her face to face and make things clear.

But I never would have believed that it would come to this.

I wonder if Bill is there?

[polichick]

17. Hadn't thought about that - hope he has plenty of protection! :)

[goclark]

28. Hope he grabs a bit to eat before he gets there

I hope he realizes that he will be taped and she will play "selected clips" at her next "Concession" that does not take place.

[Zhade]

24. He's definitely NOT stupid, he wouldn't let McLame play the Tuzla video to prove her a liar.

Or the one where she endorses McLame over him.

[Eurobabe]

29. She won't be the VP, they can't be vetted.

Obscure small WSJ article on Thursday about "donors" to Clinton library. Clintons won't divulge the names. They blew it.

[Honeycombe8]

19. He's taking the lead in trying to unify the party, is my guess. This is a good thing. nt

[Honeycombe8]

18. Great news. Hope they can start the healing process. nt

[malik flavors]

20. he's probably telling her that she'll have a prominent role in his administration, but not VP.

[Auntie Bush]

22. Obama's press plane took off without Obama tonight. Surprise! Surprise!

The press hounds were left behind. Hee! Hee! Obama was on his way to a secret meeting with Hillary. Both parties kept the secret. Good for them!

Wonder what's up? Wonder if we will ever know? :shrug:

[Bake]

23. People, people, people!

Please grow up. They're doing what is best for the party and the campaign. We should all try to do likewise.

[polichick]

26. What are you talking about - who has a problem with it here?

[Bake]

27. Read the comments on this and the other threads.

"I don't get it; why does he need to meet with HER???"

25. Please politely decline the refreshments for your own sake Barack.

30. Hey....
