one thing this race has taught us (5.00 / 9) (#6)

is that dems are every bit as stupid, savage and arrogant as repubs.

Which, believe it or not, came as a surprise to me.

It's so depressing.  It's like there's no where to turn for leadership in this country.

Pelosi is following the pack.  IMO, The D. C. insiders are behind Obama's run and they're determined to get him as the nominee.  Also very depressing.  Either we'll have another Republican or Obama, whom I do not believe will push a liberal agenda.

Monaco, anyone?

Pelosi is NOT following the pack (5.00 / 1) (#17)

NO ONE, not even Obama, has said do not follow the popular vote.

Indeed, the Obama camp rightly argues Obama now leads in the popular vote.

Pelosi is a hack to be sure, but a lousy one.

I think more generally... (5.00 / 2) (#79)

...and Stephanopoulos alluded to it at the beginning of This Week, that Pelosi simply thinks her life will be easier with Obama in office.  She knows full well the pledged delegate count isn't gonna change so her comment re: delegates over popular vote assures that Obama is the nominee.

If that's her take, then why not just say the race is over?  The veneer of objectivity has worn through quite some time ago...

Kathy, (5.00 / 2) (#92)

It came as a surprise to me too. In fact the last 8 years have surprised me. I have been outraged so often I think my output of outrage has been seriously depleted.

I would love to see Hillary Clinton in the White House. Admittedly somewhat because she's a woman but mostly because I think she is the best candidate.

If ever I had seriously thought that voting JUST on gender was a smart move Ms. Pelosi has cured me of that for all time. We always knew there were as many female pinheads as there were male pinheads. They just weren't holding important elected office.

Ms. Pelosi shows that disenfranchising voters isn't just for Republicans of either gender anymore.

Pelosi is a disappointment (5.00 / 4) (#104)
by Kathy on Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 11:25:19 AM EST
to me in so many ways, not least of all this one.  Wasn't she saying a mere week ago that super d's should hold back endorsements?  And now she gives this, a tacit endorsement.  Surely, the woman has advisors telling her how hostile the environment is out there, and that even innocuous comments are being conflated into warning shots over the bow.

I dunno, I guess the point of the women's movement was that there would come a time when gender solidarity was unnecessary. My feeling with this current nomination race is that we're at least another 200-300 years away from that.

I guess that Pelosi is taking it "off the table."

What? (none / 0) (#14)

Not sure about stupid as, because in the end they have the sense to vote democratic.
