Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, has urged a swift end to the Democrats' contest to nominate a presidential candidate.

Mrs Pelosi, a senior Democrat, told ABC News it was important to get behind one candidate if the party expected to win the White House in November.

....

But the latest opinion polls suggest that she (Clinton) is leading Mr Obama by more than 10 points in the next major primary election in Pennsylvania on 22 April.

Mr Obama has distanced himself from calls for Mrs Clinton to concede the race, saying she should be able to compete as long as she is able and has supporters.

She didn't say which candidate she prefers, but I don't think she'd say this now if she had selected Clinton.

1. The MSM I listen to say McCain would make a fine president and the Dems are

tearing each other apart. Judging from GD primaries I think part of this is true.

We should have the chance to talk to all voters not just Penn voters.

20. I Urge Nancy To Put Impeachment Back On The Table! nt

2. You forgot these facts in your cherry-picking of the arti cle

It is being reported, however, that her campaign is in financial trouble again with several million dollars of unpaid bills.

Mrs Clinton loaned her campaign $5m from her personal fortune ahead of the "Super Tuesday" primaries on 5 February.

Mr Obama currently leads by 1,631 delegates to the national party convention in August to Mrs Clinton's 1,501.

19. That was reported in other threads

and I only got four paragraphs, so I had to make sure they were relevant to the subject line.

No intentional misdirection on my part, I promise. I'm backing Obama, BTW.

23. Other facts missing - Pelosi decision date is July 1 - not that soon - after all primaries

[Ian David]

3. Oh! I thought this was going to be about George Carlin's idea...

... that we should all just fuck one another until everyone's the same color.

But I like this idea, too.

Even if it requires a coin-toss.

4. You gotta stop....

:rofl:

10. Miscegenation is history's lesson...

Love don't hate the other.

Does that mean Hillary and Obama need to birth the perfect Democratic candidate? HAHAHHA

[flyarm]

5. hey Pelosi..we hired you to hold little lord pissy pants accountable, not to define our elections

speaking of elections Nancy..what the fuck have you done about DRE's and voter verified paper ballots that our bill last year got Fla the only state in the nation to do so for 2008..but then you punished us, now didn't you and howard Dean??!! yes you did..STFU Nancy!

And get your table set or do something you were hired to do!

and get our votes counted in Fla..or just shut the hell up!

[balantz]

8. Hey, I think they're all doing a fine job!

For the corporate oligarchy!

[Zhade]

22. Everything except the FL thing, I agree.

But FL and MI will not be rewarded for breaking the rules.

6. Will someone tell the crypt-keeper's wife to shut up?

[Freedom Train]

9. I think Nancy should stay out of this one.

No reason for her to get involved.

[Tab]

11. Screw you, Nancy. Democracy isn't good enough for you.

Impeachment is meant to prevent the very travesties we're seeing, but to you it's "off the table".

Elections are to let the people speak, but you want to shortcut that too.

I was impressed with you once, but that's all but evaporated.

[stevietheman]

17. But democracy and the math has already selected Obama. n/t

n/t

12. Why is the headline Democrat Pelosi? Her title is Speaker Pelosi

When did the media ever headline Speaker Hastert as Republican Hastert?

Pelosi isn't just a Democrat. The media sucks.

15. The only fear

Those that are afraid have to fear is the fear of running out of road.
Chicken little-the sky is falling!
The dnc brought this on and now they are all fear stricken.

Senator Kennedy is one who openly says that there is nothing wrong with healthy compitition.

The world if filled with chicken littles.

We must guard against the potential out break of chicken little syndrome.

And we must furthermore put it to fear stricken chicken littles such as Dean that cowardice cannot and will not be tollerated and in time of war that goes doubble.

There are plenty of battles that must be fought to end the nonsense long after a democratic candiate is chossen.

And chicken littles only serve the right wing republican strong arm.
All people like Dean ever do when one must stand firm is cop out.Chicken little syndrome.

Those that cannot wait will wait and that is all there is to that.

And Kerry, get it right, make every vote count,isn,t that right?
A lawer who reverses his or her self is either a lier or a fool.

But hay, thats just politics isn,t it?

You called in your favor over here in Washington -now we are checking your words twice.

When those that run away run,where do they run to?
Pannic stricken chicken littles running away from the fire fight-where do they run to? That really has to be a very dark place for them.

And how is it they all come back as tail gunner Joe,s?
Isn,t that odd?

Remember Tom Folley the congressman from Florida?
that did some real damage didn,t it?

Is there something really down deep in the fear sector that could happen that scares you?

The time for truth has come and with that comes change.
We must except change .
the only fear you have to fear is fear itself.
And we must embrace truth.
You cannot run or hide from truth.

No lie can stop truth.

13. End RACE?

See, Pelosi is playing the race card!!!

:hide:

[TBF]

14. She sure has alot of opinions today...

I know your job sucks, Nancy, but it's time to get back to work. Opining on China and the election are fine, but you really do have more pressing matters. What are George and Dick up to today for starters? Working on bombing Iran next?

[Hulk]

16. Nancy better focus on what Nancy should be doing....

This woman has enough on her plate to mind her own business and act on what her constituents put her in the House to do. One of those things is to put an end to this criminal administration that she sucks up to.

Impeach the bastards...or at least start the process. The repugs will torpedo any attempts, to be sure, but at least get it on the record. Nancy has been a HUGE disappointment to the welfare of our Constitution and the future of this country. "First woman speaker"....much like what I would expect from "the first woman president" if Hillary gets the nomination. All talk, no action...LOTS of kiss ass.

18. The Speaker's direct DC Office number [phone]

not that she or her staff are really going to listen-nor "change" the "direction"of anything.

While we're at it here are some other DC Congressional numbers-I've called them, and faxed and emailed and met them--some Democrats are in collusion with the criminal administration of George Walker Bush and Richard Bruce Cheney, particularly through the Democratic political machine known as the Democratic Leadership Council.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer [phone]

House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers [phone], [phone]

House Judiciary Committee member and Chairman of the Subcommittee on The Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Jerrold Nadler [phone]

I've got lots of other numbers, I've gone beyond merely calling.

Here's some Toll-Free Congressional switchboard numbers for those that want to call Congress (I've been calling some of them domestic enemies of The United States of America for years-and that's the truth)

1-800-862-5530

1-800-828-0498

1-800-614-2803

1-866-340-9281

1-866-338-1015

1-866-220-0044

21. Well, clinton can't win, so yeah. It's already over but for her acceptance of it.

NT!

[xxqqqzme]

24. Hey, Nancy - why don't you 'n Harry let

Howard Dean work this out - he is the DNC Chair after all. Remember that little agreement after Dean was elected Chair, you, Reid & Emanuel descended on him w/ strict instructions that he NOT meddle in national policy. Back off - Let the Doctor operate.
