Make no mistake, this is an effort by white Hillarycrats to intimidate and neutralize Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat whose House district was overwhelming carried by Barack Obama in the California Primary. It is a clumsy shot accros the bow to let a sistah know that they will lynch her ass is she does anything that will be favorable for Obama.

Isn’t that what a Democrat should be?

And people (the MSM actually) say there is no difference in their politics.

Thanks heavens for the revolution at the DNC a couple of years ago or this would have been wired top down for Hilary.

This money threat is the counter-revolution.

What I plan to tell fund raisers these days is… I’m holding on to my money till the super D’s sort this out.

The “rules” are that superdelegates were chosen to select whoever they think has the best chance to win the general election, NOT to vote with their states. Obama threw that theory out when he accepted the backing of superdelegates that come from states that Hillary won. That argument is no longer valid and Pelosi needs to catch up to what is happening and either say that Kennedy, Kerry and Richardson are wrong to do what they are doing or admit that because the rules say that superdelegates can vote for their choice, whatever they decide will be fair.

That is why superdelegates were created in the first place. None of us have any power. The system was designed this way, to preserve the status quo.

Clinton is the choice of the establishment and the establishment holds the power.

What if the establishment doesn’t really want Obama to be president? Like Ed Rendell said, what if some white superdelegates are “not ready” to elect a black president?

She is the worst person se could ever want as our party leader and if the leader Dems think we will just sit back and recieve whatever they want to dish us….once they steal the nomination from Obama…

no way

Note that this leaked. I am positive that Pelosi leaked it herself. Pelosi has really been the only true leader in our party. She has consistently argued behind the scenes for a more positive campaign. She only took it public after she was ignored by the Clinton camp. She has done a phenomenal job keeping the party from totally blowing up.

I wonder what she will do in response to this. I could see this irritating her to the point where she endorses–and brings 30 Congresspeople along for the ride.

We should drop a money bomb for the DCCC. I bet a couple million could be raised with a well coordinated on-line pitch. And if that is done, then it makes it a lot easier for Pelosi to tell these people to go away.

The Clinton donors face the same existential threat in Obama. For what is the good of being a millionaire or billionaire if an upstart candidate can come along and raise more money from small donors and secure the nomination if not the presidency? Gone will be the days of having to come hat in hand to a small cadre of the ultra-rich. They need Obama the way a stagecoach manufacturer needed the automobile. This is why Hillary Rodham Clinton is still in the campaign. It’s not just her and Bill’s future at stake but a whole political landscape dominated by the power elite but marketed as democracy.
