Next Tuesday or Wednesday, Nancy Pelosi will endorse Obama
Yes, I think it's a big deal. Like her or loath her, she's the most powerful dem in D.C. And dem reps, many of them, want to be in her good favors. You aren't going to get anywhere without Pelosi backing you if you're a dem rep. I'm not suggesting that she'll coerce reps, but human nature being what it is, some will attempt to curry favor. I've never thought that she brings only her endorsement to the table.

Obama needs to tread carefully next week after Oregon. I know that Axelrod says they have enough SDs on tap to put Obama over the top, but I'm hoping they don't release them en masse. At this point, I believe it would be better to hold off until June 4th to do that. Let the RBC settle FL and MI. Let the rest of the contests take place. It's only another two weeks and a bit. It won't hurt to hold off and give Hillary that courtesy.

1. She of all people should keep her opinion off the table.

2. She is keeping her opinion off the table. She pledged a long while back to support whichever
nominee won a majority of the elected delegates.

3. Why? And sorry, she's already said she'll endorse the candidate
who gets to 1627 pds. Thus the Pelosi club.

5. It'll be great.
I'm wondering who else will endorse him beside the 9 Pelosi Club members.

7. Whatever she is or isn't, she's not going anywhere
and stuff the sexist bullshit. A lap dog is gender neutral, but you had to pull the sexist shit.
