Let the battle of the "queen bees" begin or has it been so doing ever since Hillary hit the Senate floor and Nancy was made top dog on the House floor? Whatever the case, both women are out to assert themselves, and may the best wo-MAN win! Nancy"s power comes from within and Hillary"s from without, but both control powerful political segments of the landscape.
A group of prominent Hillary Clinton donors sent a letter to House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday asking her to retract her comments on superdelegates and stay out of the Democratic fight over their role in the presidential race. Telling Nancy to "stay out" is like telling the Pope to become Protestant in his beliefs.
Since when did the Democratic process become the sole domain of Hilary and Bill. His presidency ended seven years ago. Who will run the Democratic convention this year anyway?
The 20 prominent Clinton supporters told Pelosi she should "clarify" recent statements to make it clear super delegates -- nearly 800 party insiders and elected officials who are free to back any candidate -- could support the candidate they think would be the best nominee.
So far, Ms. Pelosi has not endorsed any candidate; however, with such talk I am sure she won"t throw her support to Hillary now.
Super delegates have emerged as likely kingmakers in the fight between Clinton and Obama. The letter was another sign of growing Democratic tension over their nominating battle. Neither candidate is expected to have enough pledged delegates won in state-by-state contests to clinch the nomination when voting ends in June, leaving the choice in the hands of the superdelegates.
I don"t think a dream ticket is possible. :-)
Both candidates have wooed them heavily, with Obama contending they should follow the will of Democratic voters and Clinton arguing they should vote for the candidate with the best chance of winning the presidential election in November -- which she says is her. Surprise, surprise. And Hillary is now saying that even the pledged delegates can switch and vote for her. Amazing!
Are we having fun yet? John McCain sure is.
