Dean and Pelosi: we have our candidate
Obama has the majority of pledged delegates. It's time for you to act. I expect you both to protect our nominee. If neither of you can endorse the leader in pledged delegates and the nominee presumptive, step down for someone who will.

It's time for leadership from you both. Letting McCain and Hillary double team Obama after he has clenched the pledged delegate lead... that's totally insane. No June, No July, now.

1. Pelosi agrees with you
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2008/03/pelosi_party_should_heed_the_w.html

“I think their people are going at each other, and I think that that's wearing out. I don't think people are interested in that,’’ Pelosi said on ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos. “But I do think that before we go to the convention, we will have a nominee. We'll go into that convention unified, we'll come out of that convention unified, and we'll be ready to win.’’

And, the speaker said again in an interview Friday that was aired today, the decisions of the party’s “super-delegates’’ to the Democratic National Convention should “reflect’’ which candidate has claimed the most pledged delegates in a contest which she believes will end well before the convention in Denver.

3. Fine for Pelosi and she'll be endorsing either tonight or tomorrow
She's alread committed to vote for the pledged delegate leader. Not cool from Dean who has to maintain neutrality until Obama is the presumptive nominee and has the requisite number of delegates.

6. see, when you format a headline like that
it indicates it's a quote from the people you mention. But you didn't provide a link to such a quote.

7. Although i want them to both endorse now that we have our Nominee BUT...
i think they wont for the sake of not splitting the party since hillary's hillbots are very bitter right now and Dean/Pelosi endorsing right now will piss them off and drive them away even more in supporting their nominee....I think its best for them to wait until June 3rd.
