    Good deal.

    I want to see her "tough Italian grandmother" side come out more often.

  • MarkoSparko · 1 year ago
    'bout time! Has she declared her support yet? I think I know who it'll be, but has she?
  • foolme1ns · 1 year ago
    Just tell me when she starts calling for impeachment. Then I will be all giddy.

    Hillary's last hurrah
  • SkippyFlipjack · 1 year ago
    "REP. JASON ALTMEIR: If we allow this to fester, to drag out over the next three months into the national convention which is at the end of August, then we may not have time to put the pieces back together."

    Huh? You haven't publicly stated which candidate you're backing. You're PART OF THE PROBLEM! This issue threatens to drag out over the next three months because so many superdelegates LIKE YOU insist on waiting until the convention to declare their allegiance. If they all declared now, the papers would count up the votes, declare the winner and we'd move on to attacking John McBush. Altmeir says he doesn't want to "allow this to fester". OK, so what's his plan for fixing it? Does he just want Pelosi to force him to make his choice?

    What is this guy waiting for? It's not like Hillary is going to turn to dust and vanish -- she'll still be around in case Obama gets caught in July stumbling from a whorehouse in a coke-induced haze wearing nothing but a leather mask with "Ahmadinejad's Love Slave" stitched on the back.

    As soon as I read that rep's statement I thought ,"WTF!!"

    You put it much more eloquently
  • davidkc · 1 year ago
    Now I guess we'll see what kind of "leadership" that Pelosi, Reid, et. al can provide. Thus far I have been quite disappointed in their lack of leadership on this entire matter. And I would be so thrilled if I never hear the word "superdelegate" again.

    Here's what I think is happening: HRC is negotiating with the Obama campaign for some goodie (VP slot, pay off her debts, whatever). If she doesn't get what she wants, she'll pull a Liebernader and run as an Independent in the General. And, in spite of how she rationalizes it to herself or her campaign ("all those poor women in Michigan need someone to stand up for them"), she'll really do it just to spite Obama and the Democratic Party for not being 'nice' to her and handing her the nomination.

    Unless I'm really hallucinating, the DNC leadership has to be crapping in their pants thinking about that possibility, even if it hasn't been said out loud..

    Or am I way off?
  • 57andFemale · 1 year ago
    They do realize if they cave to that pressure, the millions of Obama supporters and the entire black community is done with them, don't they? Don't they?

    Why does Nancy Pelosi hate women?
  • 57andFemale · 1 year ago
    She's just telling them to "decide". That scares the shit out of me.

    What does "the will of the people" really mean to Pelosi? Earlier, she said pledged delegates and then later she came up with "will of the people."'

    I'm scared to God damn death, I really am.

  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    What keeps going through my head is...

    if you were an Obama supporter in Michigan or Florida... and you knew that your vote wouldn't count (in Florida) or that Obama wouldn't even be on the ballot (in Michigan) and decided not to vote because of it...

    aren't you disenfranchised if they seat the delegates from Fla and Mi?

    It's misogynist. .If you're going to say it, spell it right. And she's not a self-hating misogyist pig. She's clearing the way for a woman to take the job in the future -- a woman who does not raise as many negatives.

  • smak · 1 year ago
    Next week????????? But, but but Obama won't have had time to get assassinated yet.
  • karenfern · 1 year ago
    Given her shockinglly reticent position on impeachment, I'm surprised she's getting her **** together now. However, she' sdoing it and bringing this horror show to an end. After Hillary has had a good rest and some spa treatments, she'll be able to thank Pelosi.
  • jm2 · 1 year ago
    and what exactly does she intend to do? she hasn't done f****** diddly-squat since becoming Speaker. NO matter who becomes president if it's a Dem, they should get rid of her and Reid right off the bat.

    if Obama becomes president, Hillary would make a hell of a Senate Majority Leader.
  • lynchie · 1 year ago
    Do you think for one minute she will co-operate with anything Obama wants to do. I don't think so, unless it is on her terms at her discretion. She is a junior Senator and as such has not the experience to get co operation from the rest of the Congress. Her political career is over.
  • paulbe · 1 year ago
    No impeachment Nancy now trying to look all decisive?
  • lynchie · 1 year ago
    I think I saw this whole soap opera on an episode of Fernwood Tonight. It keeps getting more and more intriguing. Next thing they will have a million woman march on Denver for the convention. I would bet you in moments when his guard is down Senator Obama wishes he had run for dog catcher instead of President.
  • ggm1957 · 1 year ago
    I have been very disappointed with do-nothing Pelosi. I would like to see her finally do something, but she sure doesn't have a good track record.
