Nancy Pelosi says we Will have a Nominee Very soon After the last Primary June 3rd!

In contradiction to Hillary Clinton’s declarations this weekend about a credentials fight on the convention floor in Denver, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that the party will have a nominee soon after the Puerto Rico primary June 3rd.  The official primary period ends on June 10th.  After speaking at the California State Convention this weekend, Pelosi answered a couple of questions  from reporters.  Reporters asked whether the remaining uncommitted superdelegates will make their decision known by July?  Pelosi answered “[i]t will be much sooner, right after the public has voted.”   Another uncommitted superdelegate Bob Mulholland also chimed in, “[p]eople ought to just relax,” Mulholland said. “Whoever is ahead by 50 delegates or so, you’ll see the super delegates move that direction. It’ll just happen naturally.” Mulholland has not endorsed Obama or Clinton.  In her speech, House Speaker Pelosi told democrats to remain focused on November and to “keep your eye on the prize.”  Donna Brazil also said on This Week that the Democratic Party has an “exit strategy” and anyone who thinks that there will be a convention floor fight is sorely mistaken.  Brazil reiterated what seems to be a consensus of the remaining uncommitted superdelegates that the Party will not allow this fight to go to Denver.  Therefore, it looks like regardless of how many tantrums are thrown by the Clinton campaign, the party leaders are ending this fight well before the convention in August.  Thank goodness for small favors…this fight has been an emotional roller coaster for most engaged voters.  An additional fact worth mentioning is that even if the Democratic Party was silly enough to allow this to go to the Credentials Committee, the math still does not work in Clinton’s favor.  Howard Dean has already appointed 25 members to the credentials committee.  Each state sends three representatives to the Credentials Committee in Denver, Obama has won far more states than Clinton, therefore he will have far more representatives and support on the Credentials Committee.  That does not add up to a Hillary Clinton nomination.  Looks like the party leaders have made the decision not to join in on Clinton’s murder-suicide pact.
