Why is the democratic party so afraid of allowing every democrat in this country have a say? What would happen if we ended general elections early to prevent the country from being too split? I think it's absurd for Clinton to bow out, and I personally don't think that Obama can win the general election. The Democrats are messing up yet again. I always vote Democrat, but I may not this year if I don't think Clinton was given a fair shot to win the nomination. America is not the place where valid candidates should be pressured to step away when so many people are supporting them.

Nancy, You are Stepping out of Line. Really Pathetic. As a Life Long Democrat, the Moment You Step in I am Stepping out. My next political position is to become Independent and Vote McCain. The Democratic Party is full of Hypocrits. Make My Day Nancy!

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Hillary all of a sudden decided to go independent!

3 strong candidates vying for the presidency.

The mind reels at the possibilities.

It'd give a new meaning to Pelosi's "step in"!

LOL

First of all, if HRC would like to have the delegates seated in FL/MI, let's play fair.
In MI, HRC was the only candidate on the ballot. If the DNC were to be fair, it would seat the delegates based on all the candidates that signed the agreement , in other words, allot a fair share of delegates to all candidates and allow them to distribute their delegates. This way this would be a fair and equitable distribution of the delegates for both states and would favor Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama.

McCauliffe or whatever his name is (HRC campaign chair) made a rule in 04′ (as DNC Chairman) about penalising a state for changing dates and he was dead set on doing it, now he is a lieing boldface on TV like his boss HRC. Who are these people? How come the people following them decide to follow liars. These people are bent on destrying the party. Their loyalty should be first to the party , before a candidiate. PLEASE the Supers should all end this nonsense. Pelosi,Gore,Reid,Kennedy,Edwards…etc. Edwards should advice his Florida delegates to stick with him/Obama and Florida situation will be nullified. The we will see what her royal liar will say next.

He says if we penalise Mich & Florida, McCain will use it agaist us. Guess what ! Republicans also penalised Florida and only half delegates were counted, so how will McCain have a hand in out process.

Way to go Pelosi! Now that's a strong and healthy tough person unlike Hillary. Pelosi recognizes reality and the harm which Hillary and Bill can do to the Democratic Party , while Hillary continues to think of self and maintains her magical thinking so she might some how win the nomination, even at any cost.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS: LISTEN UP!!!

EVERY SINGLE WORD THIS WOMAN SAYS IS EITHER TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT OR TWISTED TO MEAN SOMETHING ELSE.

Hillary never once said that caucuses don't count or that they don't matter… You people are ridiculous. Get a grip..

The point is that PRIMARY Elections are more representative of the will of the majority of voters and more closely demonstrates how voters will turn out in the GE. Caucuses only cater to the small percentage of party activists usually 1% to 5% of the registered voters. Caucuses make it extremely difficult to participate due to the time constraints and voters do not enjoy the right to a private vote.. Young voters and seniors are often intimidated by the process of having to publicly announce their choice. A vote is a personal and private matter.

The nomination process ends at the Convention. This is how the nomination process works..It's always been this way. primaries and caucuses were only added in the last 50 years.

There is a purpose for having a convention. It's an opportunity to determine a nominee in the event that there is not a clear winner OR if that winner is not who the majority of ALL the delegates ultimately feels has the best chance of winning the GE.

The primaries/caucuses were set up to have the a average voter involved in the decision making process. Not to be the final word. otherwise what purpose would the Convention and the selection of delegates serve?
IF OBAMA IS WHO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WANTS THEN THEY WILL HAVE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AT THE CONVENTION…. We all have to accept that as the final word.

It’s sad to see that America is fill with so much racist people. You rather go through another four years of HELL than vote for someone with hope for the entire country. SAD, SAD, SAD. Then you all wonder why the rest of the world hates you. Send Obama to Canada I will vote for him.

Pelosi is an utter disappointment to Democrats in general and women in particular. From her pronouncement that "impeachment is off the table" to her obsequious fawning over Obama at the expense of what's best for the party (i.e. Hillary's candidacy), she has come to symbolize all that is wrong with politics.

Well, well, well, Nancy. Coming from someone whose approval ratings are WORSE than Bush's, you're going to exert your power now and try to thwart the democratic process? Go right ahead and try because that will put the party further in disarray. President McCain is sounding better every day.

PELOSI STAY OUT OF IT!! LET IT GO TO THE CONVENTION ISN'T THAT WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOUT? INSTEAD HOW ABOUT DOING YOUR JOB FOR A CHANGE, SO FAR YOU HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE. I HAVE YET TO SEE ANY OF YOUR SO CALLED LEADERSHIP EFFECT ANY POSITIVE CHANGE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. LET THE PEOPLE VOTE.

Too little….too late!! Pelosi's jealousy and spiteful vitriol show every time she opens her mouth. She can't control congress to accomplish anything, how does she expect to control Clinton, who has every right to fight on as long as she wishes or has money for…or would Pelosi strip her of her democratic right to do just that.

And upon what authority does she intend to do this? As Queen Bee of DC?

Sorry, Nancy, you are out of your league on this one. You may be speaker of the house, but you have no authority to take any such action in regard to the nomination process of a political party.

It's pretty sad to sit here and read the comments of people who KNOW that even though Florida and Michigan didn't follow the rules, you don't feel they should be penalized for it. I see why you support Hillary. You're no better than she is! If things don't go your way then you want to change the game. Then you say you won't support Obama if Hillary doesn't win. So, just because things don't turn out the way you want them to you'll vote to continue pouring money into a useless war, and seeing our young people die for Bush's foolishness. I don't get it. Some of you sound worse than my 3 year old when he can't have his way. GROW UP!!!! It's time to think of what's best for the party AS A WHOLE! This is no time to be selfish. I'm an Obama supporter, but if by some miracle Hillary does win, I'm going to support THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY - not just the individual.

The Michigan and Florida delegates should be split. It doesn't matter that it doesn't help Clinton. You cannot break the rules. she should not get any more votes thatn Obama. That would be unfair.

To all the so called democratics that would rather vote for McCain than Obama, you were not a real democrate to begin with. So I have one thing to say. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

I like that fact that we can take an election to the limit. It just proves that "The Peoples" vote should speak for us NOT Pelosi!!!
Just like any race, we "The People" are encouraged to run and not stop in mid stream. Pelosi needs to step back and let "The People" of this country allow their votes to count. My vote is my voice and all should be heard!!

Hillary 08

Otherwise she should go independent and be our President

We cannot have a continuity of the Bush era with McCain, neither can we risk our futures by entrusting our nation in the hands of an unexperienced candidate

Hillary we love you, but enough is enough. You didn't win! You gave a great fight, but time has come to unit the party. We need to win the White House. Please step to the side and allow that party to be unit.

Nancy is correct. After the final elecitons, this should end. Hillary is out for herself, not the party or the country. That has been loud and CLEAR with all the remarks, tactics used, now this.

Michigan and Florida broke the rules, voters were AWARE votes wouldn't count so many stayed home…what about THEM? Voters should be angry at their own politicians for ignoring party rules…after all, 48 other states know what a rule means. As far as I'm concerned,

Hillary isn't a better candidate, she's just has tunnel vision that she should be "crowned" president. We've had enough of the Clintons. Time to move on and into the 21st century.

Okay, first the Democrats punish two sovereign states of the Union for daring to decide when to hold their own elections within their own borders. Now the convention chairperson is going to "step in" to insure that a candidate is chosen before the convention meets to choose a candidate. Would someone please explain to me exactly what is so 'democratic" about the Democratic Party?

It takes a harridan to stand up to a harridan.

I commend Speaker Pelosi for setting precedence over an unruly attitude from Senator Clinton. Additionally, former president Clinton should express keen respect for rules and policies as the American people continues to foot his salary. I cannot believe the juvenile behavior from such high caliber individuals such as the Clintons. Speak of deranged characters! I further nominate Speaker Pelosi for Obama's vice-president!

After all the states have voted there is NO reason for the super-delegates to wait until the convention to decide whom they want to select. It should be over a couple weeks into June. We've listened to all the complaints about letting Hillary finish the process, and I think most people respect that. But what will be the argument past mid-June? That until the convention super-delegates might change there mind on who they've endorsed? Seems like a steep price to pay. Pelosi understands this.

To all clinton supporters, there is doubt in my mind that you all are bunch of racist, that is why you can not stand to see a black man in the white house and why you have all chose to go for another 4years of Bush.Well good luck to you all, Who can say NO when God says YES? Watch and see loosers

blair says: "Do not allow him to destroy the Constitution."

Obama was a teacher of constitutional law. He loves the constitution!

clbrune oregon please shut up. You could care less about the party. You think like that looser Clinton.

Well, Hillary….start packing your stuff up girlfriend. Tell Bill and Chelsea to make space availiable in your New York Hampton estate because your going back to New York next weekend. This race is over.

Pelosi hasn't forgotten about your many constiuents that sent the letter to her telling to reverse her statement. Pelosi is going to let you have it one way or another and its not going to be the nomination. Pelosi is not affraid to speak her mind and she going to step it up on the DNC rules and bylaws.

Obama 08

To everyone who continues to bring up the Iraq death toll… War is not good but it is sometimes a neccesity. There will never be peace; extremists all over the world will make the certain. And yes, over 4000 men and women have died in this war. They died voluntarily serving their country because they believe in the United States. This is over, what, a 6 year period? Yet every day over 3000 babies are aborted in the US alone. Let's see, that is over 6.5 million involuntary deaths in 6 years. Now who is hypocritical??? It is not the babies fault you can't leave your legs closed!

Who on earth does this Pelosi think she is? God? This is a democracy. Tell Pelosi to go away and meditate on what that means!

FINALLY, NANCY!!!! THANK GOODNESS!

Party leaders need to step up and be reasonable. Seating the entire Florida and Michigan delegates would be SUCH an absurd result that I would literally have to consider leaving the Democratic party altogether. Thos primaries were NOT proper… the were NOT fair. Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan!!! no campaigning occurred in either of those states. Those primaries were early…before many people even knew of Obama. Clinton agreed to the rules to not seat those delegations just like EVERYONE else. She cannot back out of that reasoned decision when it is convenient for HER.

Who does she think she's folling??? It's absurd that ANYONE has taken her campaigns arguments even this seriously. The Florida and Michigan votes must be respresented. But, that means ALL of them… including the ones who stayed home due to the DNC decision… and that would include Obama and Clinton supporters.

Clinton is SO full of it. She's talking about wanting all votes to count??? That requires a complete recount. She's such sneaky and manipulative. GET RID OF HER!~!!!

Hillary can't tear the party apart , obama has already done it, with his racism

Hey Jim Whittaker from CA, Hope if Obama gets in he raises your taxes good and high. Good luck with that!

Hillary Clinton is a sore loser if she was winning she wouldnt care
anything about the rule. She dont care about agreements she has
signed or promises she has made. I dont trust her because she dont
keep her word and she want keep her word with the american people.

She has made her own rules as she goes. She cant win because
she thinks she is entiltled she have to win because she is who
the american people want.

I think Nancy Pelosi is correct in steping in.
Not only is it viewed that Sen. Clinton is dividing the party, but consideration should also be made that this process is overwhealming, and discouraging, the new and young voters who should not be subjected to this fiasco.
The band aid didn't work now it's time to do the surgery so things can heal.

I cannot wait for John McCain to be president. Democrats enjoy your ignorant leadership. How badly have they botched this process.

Republicans have outfoxed the Dems again.

Sweet!

If this pitiful DNC race continues would you like us to send in some UN observers to oversee your convention in August?

Most sensible people agree that Sen. Clinton has the right to go to the convention. The problem is what it does to the party and the Democrats' presidential chances in the general election. Yes, Teddy Kennedy went in 80. Don't forget that Carter wound up losing the general election. My feeling is that Sen. Clinton needs to see she doesn't have much chance. Iif her top priority is the country and its citizens she needs to start the healing process and work for Obama in 2008.

If she takes it to the convention, or if she doesn't truly work for the candidate, then we will remember. 2012 will truly become the year of ABC (Anybody But Clinton).

I have come to the conclusion that the DNC are a bunch of dumb azzes.
They could have had it all this time but they blew it.
.

the Clintons have lost but as an independent CNN commentator said a couple of weeks ago, he heard the Clintons will do anything, anything to win. They lost fair and square and even giving them all of michigan and none to Barack and seating Florida as it stands does not put Hillary ahead in any categories. You would still have to not count the caucuses in order for her to be ahead in the popular vote, but what counts is the delegate vote. So if she expects to win she would have to bribe and bully the superdelegates to switch to her loosing ticket, and that is called CHEATING.

Of course she will - this has all be planned out by her and Dean. Obama had them wrapped up as well as the media . … to bad! When will she be put out of office??????? soon I hope.
Go McCain

Hey Harry C - Pelosi stripping a candidate of their constitutional right is not "back bone" - it's says "I'm scared to death to work for a woman"; it's not her place to end an election when "she sees fit". Who's she! Just another example of how everyone has been "railroading" Hillary for 6 months now. There is a conspiricy going on and it's obvious - as crazy as it sounds look at the Map, look at the polls, look at the swing states, and out of 2025 deligates each possible - being behind 160 deligates is not enough for everyone to jump ship for. That should give superdeligates something to mull over and look at the popular vote, swing state votes, and who can beat mccain. Hillary will be our winner if they have "spines".

Then, whats the point in having elections in democratic setup ?

Let all people have a say and caste their votes.

Republicans will be laughing at what is happening.

GET OUT OF THE RACE HILLARY.

With all due respect, I think Nancy Pelosi is confusing the Democratic party with the House of Representatives. No one person has the ability to "step in" and solve anything; it must be worked out with the DNC and the two campaigns. What an ego! The only power she has is to start bullying undeclared House freshmen - many of whom have pointedly not endorsed Obama. That's a recipe for resentment and rebellion, especially if it backfires in the Fall.

Why do all the commenters who are against Pelosi's intervention have female names? It reminds me of the famous comment of Coco Chanel: "Women who think they are intelligent, compete with men. Women who ARE intelligent, don't".

What can Nancy Pelosi do to stop the race? If Hillary wants to take this to the convention there's no stopping her. The delegate count is not official until the convention roll call. Pelosi has been an awful Speaker and the House has done nothing since Democrats took over.

To Mikey in Arizona!! Three good choices for VP! I think Powell or Clark would go a long way to heal our country in terms of world view. It's so sad that the Bush administration did Colin so dirty; would be great to see him 2nd in command.

I do think that Clinton has the right to run through the primary s which end next week. Few have told her to stop but after the delegate count is taken and Obama has won the required amount then let's get together and unite.

Doesn't that make sense?

I'm glad that is going to take a stand on this. It has gone far too long and I don't think that it is for the good of the Democratic Party. I admire her determination.

Great!! If this process is not over soon, I think Hillary will lose the rest of her mind. Have anyone notice how wide her eyes are torn open when she is trying to convince people that she is in the lead or the only one that can win? I actually got sorry for her.

Pelosi, for the sake of the party, let this weekend put an end to this process. The only change needs to be made is when a candidate reach over half the elected delegates to be earned, he or she must end their bid or the superdelegates end it for them.

Pelosi should say what is now obvious.

Obama is not right for the democratic nomination, not right for the presidency, not right by orders of magnitude for the USA.

GO Ahead Nancy…

Dont wait for democracy to take its course….

What a heavy-handed, autocratic bunch of comments. Let the people decide, Czar Nancy. Or are you afraid the Democratic Party can't handle, you know, Democracy?

Wow the Hillary supporters are all Femanazis that will hate Obama no matter what because is a man. Go ahead vote for McCain but when the world just gets worse than it is today you have only yourself to blame. I can't believe you would still support Hillary after the way she has acted as if this thing is all about her. This leads me to believe no matter what, you wouldn't vote for him. at least most women in this country aren't stupid and that is why OBama gets half of the women vote. Being sexist is stupid………………..

What to expect from an Obama hippy brainwashed idiots that are supporting him?
She has done nothing in the congress and now she wants to end the race?
I would say to Hillary to come to Canada and wait for three years and be our Prime Minister,we know how to appreciate a smart woman!

Every one knows where you stand. You have never been impartial in this campaign. How did you get elected as Speaker of the house? You have no leadership… Since you took the house, congress has been ranked lowest to do the jobs that country wants them done. Give that job to some one please. There is no way that I will spend a dime in democratic party again.

There gotta be better solution. We must have multi party system that works. Two parties are corrupt ( Obama is part of one). One tries to take the country to the left antoher to the right. Everyone who is in the middle are squeezed like middle income tax payers. We are the one who are funding the war, we are the one who are paying the kids go to college, we are the one who is bailing the drug, airlines, banks copmaies out and yes we are the one who are paying you to serve us. We want our money back with interest.

How did this stupid woman ever get to be the speaker of the House? She doesn't have a fraction of Hillary's expertise or leadership, she hasn't done anything of any substance in the House, and yet now she's claiming she can "step in" and affect the course of the election.

Under what party rule is she going to do that? Nobody votes until the convention, so she's just posturing — yet again. As if she has a shred of credibility left after being completely ineffective as a leader.

What a paper tiger!

I can only give Hillarious credit for continuing a FAILED CAMPAIGN!

Hillary definitely have balls and Bill have monica punani's juice all over his balls!

FACT - FL and MI broke the rules trying to get more $$ and influence for their state with early primaries.

FACT - Hillary initially supported sanctioning them - but now wants no penalty as it is the only way she can win

I don't care what candidate you support - that is just morally wrong. How can people who support that not see the long term implications? If you reward MI and FL then you send the message to every state to keep moving their primary. You will reward bad behavior and pretty soon we will have primaries years before the actual election.

Do the voters of FL and MI have right to be upset - yes. But their energies should be focused on the local party leaders who ignored the national party and led them down the wrong path. Hillary and Obama had nothing to do with THEIR state leadership deciding to break the rules! So own up to your mistake, vote the local bums out and take a more active local role. But to blame Obama or Hillary (as she did nothing until her own self interest were at stake) for FL and MI decision to break the rules is ridiculous.

I don't think Hillary needs to step aside - but she does have an obligation to run a positive campaign. If she can win the delegates on her own merits - great. But Hillary made a bad call with MI and FL situation and is using divide and conquer tactics. That lost my vote.

Our country is in trouble and we citizens need to rally together more than ever before. We cannot allow ourselves to be distracted from the core issues (War, Economy, Health, etc) and core principles (if you break the rules there are consequences) any more. If we do - if we allow ourselves to be divided into camps over emotional elements - then we deserve what we get.

And what would all you Bobama fanboys/fangirls be saying about Michigan and Florida and superdelegates, if Clinton was in the lead? I think we'd be hearing a different story, wouldn't we?

As it is, now we're hearing how Bobama played hard, ruthless politics to get all his opponents off the ballot, so he could run unopposed in his first election. New Leadership, nah…just another cynical, ruthless cold-eyed politician who has fooled his constituency time and time again.

Why is Pelosi feeling so threatened? I'm sick of the whole Democratic Party because of people like her running it into the ground. Hillary has every right to go to the convention, afterall, it was ok for Teddy Kennedy to do it, why not Hillary Clinton? I have already decided I will vote McCain this year if Obama is nominated. If anyone believes the Democrats really are going to immediately pull out troops in Iraq without catastrophic consequences, they are kidding themselves. Obama has already started backpedaling on that issue. As that is the key emotional issue separating the Dems and Republicans, I see less harm going with someone who actually has foreign policy credentials and is not naive on other issues.

So instead of people deciding this primary, we want politicians to decide. Gee, sounds like Florida 8 years ago! Let's just have the Supreme Court decide it! "For the people, by the people…". If Obama cares so much why doesn't HE step aside? Don't believe the hype!

CNN

WHY DO YOU POST THE SAME PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AND OVER???

PELOSI

ON YOUR WATCH GAS PRICES HAVE DOUBLED.

GET BACK TO D.C.
AND GET BACK TO WORK.

YOU PROMISE BUT YOU DO NOT DELIVER

In my opinion Barack Obama needs to drop out of the race. I would NEVER vote for a person with so little experience to run my country. He doesn't care a whit for the little guy, look at his voters. Wealthy & collage students, he can't get the 'blue collar' vote because he has no connection with the 'real' people in this country. The blacks are voting for him JUST because of his black blood. If he were white he would have been out of this race a long time ago. The Super Delegates are afraid not to vote for him, they are too afraid of Race Riots if they do, I think this is the same reason so many regular delegates have changed their vote. After 40 years of registering and voting Democrat this year I will be registering and voting independent for Bob Barr. I would vote for a Republican before I would vote for Obama.

Sue Parker

Something that ALL OF YOU IDIOTS DON'T GET: even IF ALL the Superdelegates vot for Senator Obama, they CANNOT LEGAL VOTE him IN UNTIL THE CONVENTION!

So, IF on June 3 ALL the SUPERS VOTE for the LEAST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE, AS USUAL: THERE VOTES DO NOT COUNT UNTIL THEY VOTE AT THE CONVENTION IN AUGUST!

HILLARY: TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION!

yes it,s time to look to the future and start uniting the party.Hillary should bow out gracefully .She ran a highly competitive campaign.She should end it after June 3 , while there still voters who have a lot of respect for .Hillary knows the odd are against her for winning the nomination,so it,s time for her to be supportive of the party.

As an Obama supporter who would vote for Hillary without hesitation if she were the nominee, I am dismayed at all the Clinton supporters whose basic position is, "Give Hillary the nomination or we vote for McCain." Is that truly your position? Threats?

Speaker Pelosi,
Just what is the purpose of the Democrat Convention in Denver if it is not to nomiate the Democrat Presidential nominee. Of course, if you run it like you have run the House this past year and half, nothing would get accomplished anyway.

What's your rush? It was the Dem. party that scheduled the convention for late August, if the party was so concerned about not having enough time to campaign before the General election, why wasn't the convention held in June rather than August?

You should try doing the business of the people which you were elected to do and let the convention settle the fight between Clinton and Obama.

Doesn't the Constitution have something to say about this? Such as all states votes should count (Florida and Michigan) including primarys. You democrats have come a long way since the 2000 election.

Pelosi for VP will be a great idea.

Pelosi is doing the right thing here. The problem with Hillary supporter bashing Pelosi over this is that Hillary Clinton is not bigger than democratic party.

She is 100% correct that if this overflows to convention - this will be democratic loss in November.

Pelosi understands that a repeat of 1972 is not only going to be ruin the chances in Nov, but could cause lasting damage at time when Democrats have a shot to secure congress for next 10-20 years.

Clinton family has been great service to democratic party - and will continue to be - but they are not controllers of the party.

Barack has won fair and square by the rules all candidates agreed too. Their always a winner and loser - in this case - Clinton lost in 2008.

I'll be honest - Barack is no sure win against McCain. But neither is Hillary. However, what is sure is that party is fractured at the convention - we lose a chance that either of these two will get elected in either 2008 or 2012.

Hillary should be preparing for 2012. While I am Obama supporter, if he loses in 2008 to McCain - I will vote for Hillary in 2012 should she bow out gracefully in such a way not to hurt the democratic party.

I am so disappointed in Pelosi's lack of leadership. Stop being a trophy Speaker, roll up your sleeves, get some real work done..like impeachment..how much moe evidence is needed of this adminsitration's crimes and misdeeds? Pelosi has not shown leadership anywhere else, I dont expect her to show leadership or backbone now….She will be weak and support OBama because the easy thing to do. As a superdelegate and party leader, she needs to stand firm and state who will be the better candidate against McCain, who leads int he popular vote, and who should thus get the nomination..that would be Clinton. Obama supporters are causing divisiveness an dbitterness int he party. Enough is Enough. Pelosi..if you want to make a difference int he country and the world..this is your chance to DO THE RIGHT THING!

The most worthless speaker in American history wants to add to her record of ineptitude by saying she will accomplish something then doing, either nothing, or making things worse than they were before. So glad she's a democrat

IF PELOSI IS SUCCESSFUL……

LET'S PROTEST THE NIGHT OF THE CONVENTION-

…… SPREAD THE WORD….. AND WRITE IN HILLARY'S NAME IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

THE MOVEMENT IS GROWING…….. SPREAD THE WORD

WE HAVE TO BE HEARD IF THEY BRIING HILLARY DOWN.

I a long time Democrate will NOT vote for arrogant OBAMA no matter what Pelosi says or does.

President Hillary Clinton all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please, Pelosi step in this fight and you will find out that you don't have the power that you think you have. This would only outrage Hillary supporters and turn them against Obama. I am a diehard democrat and if this type of comments and behavior continue, I will be forced to vote republican in the general election. Hillary has all the right to fight this fight as long as possible, and by the way Obama hasn't won the democrat nomination quite yet, pleas realize this!

i think to many people are disrupting the race between clinton and obama it is just like gore and bush some how florida is always in there someplace i am not saying either one is right or wrong but the main purpose of all this is for the people of the united states of america not for themselves. i think everyone has lost sight of what is right and wrong. they both have there good points and bad so lets just hope for the best for the people and this country.

Proof:

Florida and Michigan move up their primaries. WRONG
Hillary who is now losing wants now for them to count. WRONG
Hillary thinks she can beat Obama. WRONG
Fooling with the DNC is anti-Constitutional. WRONG
Pelosi finally had some guts to step in. WRONG

There you go. Five wrongs do NOT make a right.

McCain '08

Go Hillary…..If Obama take the presidency it will be the end of the world….think about it.

Tony….learn how not to be a total idiot…..You don't speak for all the Jewish community considering I am one, and don't speak for a race you're not even a part of. Learn not to be a stereotype seriously….you look like an idiot

Well it's about time. Why wait till the end of next month. I mean if she isn't going to support the superdelegates going in a direction opposing the majority of the pledged delegate votes, why even wait. Can we end this already? I mean look at the toll it's taken on Hillary– she looks like she's been campaigning for a decade already, and it's been only 17 months.

Also has anyone decided how she was supposed to fix the economy if she her own campaign is in millions of dollars worth of debt… last I checked the economy deals with billions/trillions… so she'd be going from losing a war with paintballs to losing a war with bullets, and cannons…. sounds like a plan… I guess that's what she's learned through all her 'experience'.

Pelosi and her fellow Congress people keeps sending money for the war, has not done anything about the gas, and now she wants to ignore the votes from Fl &MI, and stop Hillary for going to the convention. I just love how undemocratic the Democratic party is. We are going to loose in Nov, don't blame it on Hillary!

Finally, someone with some sanity!

There's a reason we call ourselves DEMOCRATS, not Bamacrats or Hilacrats! This childish, selfish our team must win,attitude is going to cost us big, unless we remember who we are really fighting for. "WE THE PEOPLE" Two oilmen as President and Vice President and we get the highest oil prices ever!, Katrina, Iraq, Kyoto, Karl Rove, impeachable high crimes, Alberto Gonzalez, Enron, the mortgage meltdown high food prices and Osama still out there. We still have not avenged 9-11 for Pete's sake!

Anyone who'll vote for John McCain because Hillary blew it, was never a Democrat to begin with.

Way to go.

Hillary's idea to take this to the convention is selfish. She does not care about democrats; all she cares is herself.

She agreed to the rules; and of course, now that she is losing, she wants to change the rules and appear like the popular hero.

That is called CHEATING

I say that it is about time that House Speaker Pelosi stepped in. It is so clear that Hillary Clinton will try to destroy the party and Obama along with it if she does not achieve her manifest destiny of being the ruler of the free world.

I'm tired of politicians with visions of impending godhood. Let the political voting process make the determination. It's not up to the speaker to decide for the country how the voting process should run.

Why do we have the long primary race if they don't intend to have it run full. It is as if democrats only care for certain states and any towards the end of the race have no say in the race at all.

If Pelosi doesn't want super delegates to override pledged delegates (which i agree with but thats besides the point…) why do the DNC have super delegates at all. Why not a national primary on one day decided by majority vote. Wouldn't that solve all problems? And peoples' voices would be heard individually with equal strength.

Pelosi has a lot of impact on the overall presidential race. Her decision will help decide who takes 2nd & 3rd place.

What does "step in" mean? Does she have any power to "step in" with? This sounds like a meaningless comment.

By staying in the race, HRC is closing the door to Chelsea Clinton 2016. HRC is a fighter but one should fight for the party not for own interest. We know all that the game is over for HRC unless she knows something over my/our knowledge.

"I will step in," Pelosi told the paper. "Because we cannot take this fight to the convention…It must be over before then."

The media should also step in.

The general election fight should start next week. McCain/Bush will not win this election. Not this time, not this year.

I am amazed at how many Clinton supporters think Pelosi should mind her own business or is overstepping her bounds. Lest we forget that as Speaker of the House, she is 3rd in line for the Presidency! People who argue that her saying this is what is tearing the Democratic Party apart need only look as far as their own statements to see the divide (which Pelosi had nothing to do with).

People, please realize….even if FL and MI are seated in full, Hillary cannot win. It all rides on the superdelegates so it would be pointless (and reckless) for her campaign to go to the convention. What on earth could be gained there that cannot be gained in June? I have a feeling that many superdelegates will announce their allegiance next week. Will you call that an intervention?

And finally, can we take a look back at history here? When was the last time that dueling campaigns went to the convention and the Democrats actually won?? Pelosi understands this…the longer this goes on, the further it hurts the party's chances, as there are only 2 full months between the convention and election day. You people who say Obama isn't electable, well this convention fight would seal the deal on that one and at that point Hillary wouldn't be able to win either. Look at how McCain has gotten a free ride all this time and his standing in the polls has risen so much that he is running practically neck and neck with both candidates. His lead would increase so much by the convention.

But then again, many of you threaten to vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination so you'd probably like that to happen…

W00t NANCY!

Let's end this thing and kick some McCain butt. We are wasting time and money.

DEMOCRATS 08!

pelosi watch your job apruval and house apruval , it is same like bush , shut up and let supers support Clinton , hillary 2008, obama can go to auswitz with his uncle:)

Go Nancy!! Please make some sense out of your party before it's too late. Give Hillary a donut and make her sit down.

Rules are rules, unless they do not automatically give the nomination to Obama. The rules allowed a revote; the rules require that this goes to the convention where the superdelegates will vote—they can announce whatever they like but they cannot vote until the convention.

RULES ARE RULES!!!

Pelosy

Do your job and leave democrats choose

Hillary 08

Florida and Michigan must count

ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION, HILLARY…….

YOU'VE GOT MORE CAJONES AND MORE INTELLIGENCE THAN ….

BO, KENNEDY, KERRY, DASHLE, BRADLEY, RUSSERT, SHULTZ, OBERMAN, CAFFERTY, SHIELDS, MILLER, M. GOODWIN, LOUDMOUTH, RICHARDSON, RHODES, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, VIERA, OPRAH, CAROLINE, ALL THE FADING CAMELOT KENNEDY BO SUPPORTERS WHO WANT TO MAKE BO IN JFK'S IMAGE (TALK ABOUT LIVING IN THE PAST), …..AND PELOSI….. ETC., ETC., ALL PUT TOGETHER.

GO GET EM HILL…. YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION…… YOU ARE REAL CHANGE, YOU ARE THE FUTURE.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! FLORIDA & MICHIGAN VOTES MUST BE COUNTED!! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS PELOSI THINKING? THE PEOPLE VOTE FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS….. DELEGATES SHOULD REFLECT THE PEOPLE'S VOTE. PELOSI SOUNDS LIKE BUSH>

Voting for Hillary just keeps us in the loop of Bush, Clinton, Bush Clinton…Bush? Change means getting the Clintons AND the Bushes OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. I don't care if the change is McCain or Obama, just keep those two families away from me!

The Clinton family is still one of the most Dysfunctional families in America. And believe me, Chelsea is not that virtuous…ask the Secret Service!

We need to all come together and heal our party. It's time to unite behind one candidate and move this thing forward. I was a Hillary supporter and still admire her greatly; however, this is our future and our children's future we are talking about and we cannot risk losing this election to the Republicans. Give Senator Clinton the respect and admiration she deserves but unite and come together for President Obama!

After next week, ALL states will have had their opportunity. Nobody was left out. From the very beginning, Michigan and Florida had the same opportunity as every other state to make their votes count. Maybe it doesn't seem fair to people in MI and FL, but it isn't fair to everyone else if we bend the rules for them now.

Nancy Pelosi for VP !!!

HILLARY HAS BEEN APPEASED ENOUGH. SHE HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO MAKE A MOCKERY OF THE SYSTEM, WITH HER LIES. MOVING OF THE GOALPOSTS, FUZZY MATH, PETTY DEMANDS. ENOUGH ALREADY, BRING THE CURTAIN DOWN ON HER. SHE IS A JUNIOR SENATOR JUST LIKE OBAMA. BUT BECAUSE HER NAME IS CLINTON. SHE HAS RECEIVED MORE TOLERANCE THAN SHE DESERVED. IMAGINE IF THE ROLES WERE REVERSED, AND OBAMA HAD ACTED THE WAY HILLARY HAS THE RACE WOULD HAVE BEEN ENDED MONTHS AGO.

The lady know's what she talking about. We Democrats are an unruly bunch but you can't buck logic.

PELOSI NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF THIS ONE. IF THE PEOPLE WANT HILARY TO STAY IN FOR THE CONVENTION, THEN SHE SHOULD STAY. THIS IS THE PEOPLE'S ELECTION NOT PELOSI'S……

This life-long Democrat just registered as an Independent. The Democratic Leadership is not about democracy in action but it has been about poor leadership and direction. If the Democrats force an inexperienced Obama as the nominee, us centrists will gladly vote for McCain and the Democrats will lose the White House in November. Let McCain clean-up Bush's mess - he's far more capable and works both side of the aisle very well.

Don't the delegate selection rules say a candidate that campaigns in a state that has violated the timetable CAN NOT RECEIVE ANY VOTES from that state? Isn't that automatic and not reviewable by the RBC? Even if 50% are restored, shouldn't they all go to Obama by rule?

no obama who cares who you want to vote to .you are a lier, a loser just like the Clintons

@ Tony May 29th, 2008 10:54 am ET

By your paragraph alone, one could tell you are definitely a Clinton supporter without having to mention it.

what a smart move Nancy– I truly respect you

Now this is a real woman with a pantsuit!

Not Hillarious

Yes, Nancy, there should be some penalty: YOU SHOULD STEP DOWN!

Undemocratic buffoon!

Nancy, I thought your constituents voted for Clinton in the CA primary. Why are you voting for Obama? Although my State will go for McCain in the general, I will write in my vote for Hillary. I hope others will do the same.

Good. This will keep things fair. Obama's name isn't even on the ticket in Michigan. If you count those votes, how could that be fair?

This is ridiculous. Let Democracy work. The process of election has been set. Delegates only cast their votes at the convention, up until then they are free game. This is why Democrats get made fun of all of the time because they just swing to what ever side is loudest at the time. Nancy, sit down and shut up, and let the process work its magic. You knew how elections were going into this. If the Democrats want to change this after the election thats fine, but not during.

Hillary supporters are delusional beyond belief. I am an Indian american, but I wouldnt vote for Bobby Jindal in my dreams.

I also liked HRC when the race started , but the way she has run this campaign is disgusting. If U HRC supporters want, U can go jump off a cliff by voting McCain, but dont call others for company.

Any 'Donkey' in '08

Stop saying Hillary is destroying the party! My god how many other times has it happened that the nominee went all the way to the convention? I would say that being as the race is so close there are alot of voters that will have their say come November and they wont be voting for Obama and when that time comes and he loses and we all know he WILL you can all shut your stupid pie holes! We all know how easily sheep are swayed and kool aid drinkers keep routing for a loser

Will Hillary now claim Pelosi is sexist ?

I'm looking forward to an end of the Clinton campaign. It's one thing to complete a race (and I am glad Hillary is seeing this through to the end albeit not the end Hillary wants), but it's another to lace your campaign with blame and subjective conspiracy theories and spin why you think you are "winning" instead of losing.

Way to go Nancy Pelosi!

Carol
San Luis Obispo, CA

Go Nancy. Its over. Emotions aside Hillary's supporters will see the light (except for those who are republican impostors)

It is about time!!!
Go House Speaker Nancy Pelosi!!!!
She is a woman who knows what she is doing.
This is a woman who represents me, not this pseudo-feminist Hillary, who was hidding behind her husband when he was president, and now is playing the gender game.

WE SAY WE ARE HAVE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES AND WE ARE THE GREATEST DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
I DOUBT ABOUT THE WAY THIS SYSTEM WORKS. I SEE THE PARTY'S DIVIDED AND THE MEDIA IS VERY CAPABLE OF STEERING THE VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE.
WE SEE SOME CANDIDATES WHO WANT TO BE THE PRESIDENTS NOT HAVING THE MORALE BACKGROUND AND QUITE A FEW TIMES USING RACIAL LANGAUGE TO WIN THE VOTES.
I ALSO WONDER ABOUT OUR ROLE MODEL BEHAVIOR TO THE WORLD AROUND US. HOW CAN WE BRING DEMOCRACY TO THE OTHER NATIONS? THINK.
ONLY BY OUR PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR.
OR ELSE WE ARE CALLED HYPOCRIATES AND WE LOSE RESPECT FROM THE WORLD. THEY WILL BE LAUGHING.
HONESTY, DISCIPLINE, LOVE , MEEKNESS, PEACE,…….ECT.. THESE ARE THE KEY ELMENTS THAT WE SHOULD SEE FROM A CANDIDATE. BYE FOR NOW.

Finally some common sense in the primary. This will end after June 3rd and not a moment too soon. Unless of course we need to hang around to see if something happens!!!! Oh, but Senator Clinton meant nothing by it. She just had the Kennedy family on her mind. The problem is Senator Clinton, you said the same thing months earlier. Thank you Senator Pelosi for taking charge to end this.

Obama 08/12!!!

Don't let it go to the end of next month!

End it after June 3 - Clinton *cannot* win by any fair means and she has to accept that.

Obama 08 & 12

NO BAMA, you should stop pretending to be a democrat.

Pelosi, take your nose out of it.

Do your job and do something in congress, like you promised. You are useless.

Impeach bush and his VP.

We know you are an Obama supporter so your opinion is not constructive. It is biased.

It is not Hillary that is dividing the party, but you, Howard Dean, Harry Reid, Kerry and the rest of you useless clowns.

I will be writing Hillary Clintons name on the ballot if she does not get the nomination. Not a chance I will vote for Obama. He makes Carter look good.

You people are making a very serious mistake if you do not nominate Hillary. Time to get rid of the Super-delegates also.

Since when are they more important than the American voter?

HILLARY CLINTON ALL THE WAY FOR PRESIDENT.

This posting comes from:

A white male, late thirties, very well educated, employed in a very good job.

Not a white unemployed male, with little or no education clinging to religion and guns in small town America.

As the Obama campaign would have you believe all Clintons supporters are.

Pelosi is normally not praiseworthy , but at least she is now standing up and acting like an adult in order to bring to an end this Clinton-inspired mess.

And while we're at it, let's just say "We never Wanted Hillary Clinton as our Nominee" and be done with it.

Supporting Obama, who does not want "Washington business as usual" while acting as such is not a big sell either.

There has been hypocracy with this "CHANGE" from day one. Maybe Wirght was right………….

I thought most Americans were tired of being lied to by our Commander in Chief and his staff. Now HRC is following his lead. She is NOT winning the popular vote; Obama is.

I am quite disgusted with this. "I will step in." Excuse me but who are you to challenge the process of this democratic race. All these people think the world will end if something happens, the last time we had people in Washington vision an outcome of something we ended up in a sinkhole called the Iraq war. I agree the Obama has been winning, but let the process play its course and not let some elite dnc member make the decisions.

Wow the way Hillary fans react to this and Obama fans react to this is so funny - Look Pelosi is right, if you don't have rules, and stand by them states will do what they want, when they want! FL and MI broke the rules of the DNC and as a result by LAW they at best can seat half the delegates. This isn't about being fair, about every vote counts, it's about party rules and sticking to it. Hillary signed an agreement not to campaign in either state and to follow party rules and not expect those delegates to count. Those are the facts!

Hillary's supporters and big donners have sent letters to Pelosi and other Dems' demanding support for Hillary "or else' and I love that the inside washington politics aren't working!

End this next Tuesday - move on to November - unite the party and give us a fighting chance against 4 more years of McBush!

To Sheila, Tamap

Go ahead and leave the party. We don't need you. Obama won this fair and square and raised more money than any candidate who ran. After bringing up the race card (Bill in SC) and the gender card (Hillary) the Clinton's have shown their true colors. They thought they had this in the bag and NEVER expected what has happened. She said at the end of 2007 this race would be over after Feb. 5th (Super Tuesday) and she obviously didn't plan ahead. She is also $20 million in debt.

To all Clinton supporters who live in caucus states, remember she has said YOU DON'T MATTER.

Obama '08 & 12

P.S. To all of you saying she is the better candidate to beat McCain, how come she couldn't beat Obama?

I am so tired of Hillary supporters claiming they will leave the party and vote for McCain, they seem to be the same kind of democrat as their candidate. Give me what I want or I will make up my own rules. I hope you don't claim to be a feminist the same time you are spewing the garbage about voting for McCain if so you are as dillusional as Hillary. If you really want to leave the party go ahead and take Hillary with you we don' t need disloyal people in our party.

Hillary should run as an independent. She would easily win and after the way the DNC, Obama supporters and the news media have treated, I would say do it. I hope she does.

Have you people really read some of the vitrolic language on this message board? Especially when it comes to the Obama supporters. On the other side, the Clinton supporters seem to mostly comment on the electablity of Obama and the issues in the race. You can't unite a country or a party by name calling, fear mongering and bullying. That's what we have now under Bush and look where that got us.

Since there's a good chance Democrats will take both the house and the senate in November - perhaps it's best if McCain is elected president . Checks and balances - too much power for either party is not good. Obama is too liberal, Doesn't have enough experience and is too full of himself and hot air for us Regan Democrats to give him the keys to the White House!

Besides, if Nancy really wants the war to end, she can just refuse funding and override McCain's Veto. Supreme court justices must be approved also!

Clinton or McCain - Never Barack "Bad Judgement" Obama!

IF WE NEVER HEAR THE NAME CLINTON AGAIN, WE

WILL BE GRATEFUL. HER LOBBYISTS HAVE THREATENED

TO PULL THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE DNC, AND CONSEQUENTLY

TURNED THIS ELECTION INTO A SHAM. THEY SHOULD BE

ASHAMED. BILLHILLI BOUGHT & PAYED FORE LONG TIME

AGO. THAT IS WHY SHE WENT TO WAR. THERE IS LOTS OF

MONEY IN IT FOR ALL OF THEM , INCLUDING THE CLINTONS.

THEIR TAX RETURN A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHO THEY

WORK FORE. AND CLEARLY IT'S NOT FOR US.

WE NEED TO GET THEM & THEIR LOBBYISTS OUT OF

THE PARTY.

To all disenfranchised democrats, son't go to the repuiblican party if you feel the DNC has ignored you. Join us in the Libertarian Party, the only party that stands for REAL change!

Bob Barr in '08!

While I supported Hillary for my state's primary, I expect to fall in line with whoever ultimately is nominated by the Dems.

That said, what Pelosi is proposing is that party insiders cut off the democratic process before the convention. Less infighting would certainly be better for the party in the long run, but I see too much hypocrisy in her statements.

Michigan and Florida have to follow the rules or else there would be chaos, but a candidate in the primary is not allowed to campaign to the convention? The rules should only be followed when it suits Nancy Pelosi?

No. I've had enough government that actively circumvents our democracy. The ends do not justify the means.

So what if some of you don't like Hillary ( I'd like to know how many of you personally even know her to be judging her so harshly, your just repeating the exact same things that the news media has been putting out there for months) this is not a personality contest, it's suppose to be the best person for the job, not the least experienced . Obama is making the same promises as all other candidates have so where is the "CHANGE", where is the "Different", the "New"?

The delegate system is extremely outdated and no longer serves the American people as evidenced by the fact that the Florida and Michigan delegates cannot vote at this time even though the people spoke by voting. So, this means that the peoples wishes didn't count in these two states. I thought the people had a say in this country concerning who gets the nomination; apparently not in Florida and Michigan. And the superdeligate idea is garbage also. They get to place their vote for whom they please and place a nominee no matter what the people say with their vote. I wonder what our founding Fathers would say about this. The whole delegate system is a joke. The delegate system should be eliminated and the popular vote system should be installed. Primarys can still be held and a decision made on a nominee by a certain date before the general election; but the decision should be by popular vote. We can't trust delegate to do what the people of this country tell them to do with our votes.

This is the first thing that Nancy has suggested that makes sense.

I think that hillary should just quit it is over. You lost run in 2016 hillary if you keep going no one will vote for you then either.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PPL? You've all been brainwashed by Obama's endless B.S. speeches…at least Hillary is fighting for her position while everyone else sits back aiming their b.s. at her.

Isn't it time someone fight for us…instead of sitting on the sidelines and then stepping in to say "let me stop this…" What happened to americans being able to voice their opinion and state their claims as to whom they'd like to call their next president. I'm about ready to move out of this country altogether…

One thing is for certain we aren't standing united!!!

Is she so desparately wants to "stop" something…why can't she put forth her efforts to fighting poverty that the dang high gas prices have caused…for once…have someone in the Whitehouse do something for the ppl!!

God "Bless" America….because you know he ain't happy with us!

Good for Pelosi. Someone needs to end this madness.

Well step in already and do something.

Clinton needs to be stopped.

OK are you guys Serious? Not that i would vote for either one, but you are trying to tell Americans that have a Constitutional Right to vote that there votes dont count?..Who has the right to say that?? ..That to me is the most Un-American thing to say or do.. I really think the Dem party needs to take a step back and see the bigger picture because the people that live in MI or FL that you won't let have no voice in decideing who there Candidate should be will probubly abandon you and cost you the election..because after all it's not the peoples fault and thats who you are punishing…

One of the first things I've ever seen Nancy Pelosi say or do that made any sense. Go Nancy!

Those are executive quolities. Somebody has to step in and say it is enough of that nonsense.We can't alow prty to be sacrificed Beecause Clintons are not hapy.They will need to deal with it!!!!! And we have to learn to deal with their screams.epublicans are laughing on us and ability to make choices,have clarity about rules. We can take leadership without those skils. Do so and safe face of the party.It is enough of Clintons willlful spining how ever thay wont.It is enough.

If this situation was the other way around, they would have pushed Obama out a long time ago… Why is Pelosi sitting on her rump and not being the leader likes she suppose to be. America's leaders still can't find it in themselfs to elect an African American. "What a shame"

I think Pelosi, Gore and Reid should all step in and just end this… now or at the very latest, by Wednesday.

To drag this out when we all know that Obama will win does nothing to further the Democratic Party's cause. The only beneficiaries of letting Hillary continue in her lunacy is the media and the Republican party.

Seat the FL and MI delegates according to the penalties in place AT THE TIME EVERYONE AGREED, super-delegates, get off of your keesters and declare and let's MOVE ON.

Yes, we can.

Now I would not mind seeing these two Kats going at it a little bit! LOL

I get the feeling that Clinton is so self centered, that she would rip her party apart if she could call her self president. An aquaintance of mine through a civic club, now retired, was high ranking in the Secret Service; and said she was difficult to protect due to her demeaning treatment of the service agents. He gave me enough insight to know she has no ones interest in mind but her own.
If something doesnt help her, politically, she makes no effort.
She was the first lady of arkansas, then whe the seat came available in NY, she was suddenly a New Yorker at heart, now she cares about everyone, when its everyones vote she wants.
She plays to what she wants from people and could care less about them afterward.

The House speaker should keep out of it. Ms. Pelosi should stay on the sidelines rather than complicate further the current democratic party imbroglio

The response from the Obama bots about Nancy being right on make it even easier for me to vote for McCain. I don't need a do-nothing Nancy to tell me how to vote. She's the biggest loser in the Democratic party…next to Obama who will lose in November.

I respect Nancy Pelosi for sticking to her guns throughout this ordeal. Thankfully, someone in the Democratic party is finally willing to take the initiative and try to end this pointless bickering and infighting. Or at least, she says she is.

You Obama people just dont get it.

We know that Hillary lost a long time ago…

Millions of her voters just want the same result for NObama.

Go McCain 08

I used to like the CLintons but not anymore. HRC was supposed to inherit the house (nomination) but mismanaged her chance. Now she is out to burn the house down so no one else would inherit it. She is grossly ambitious. Hillary is like Lady Macbeth and Bill is Macbeth. Watch them, they are like the predators circling around Obama for an opportuned time of their liking to pounce.

Nancy Pelosi is a radical left wing joke. She'll be powerless to stop the Clinton's from going to the convention if they choose to do so. The campaign for the democratic nominee will not end until the cleanup crew arrives to sweep away the confetti from the convention floor on it's last night. Hold onto your seats. The roller coater is just about to reach the top of the hill and it's all down hill from there.
