Give the good Speaker a couple of days to re-think.

The reality of the role reversal in the nomination race Pelosi felt comfortable with is only just beginning to sink in on folks like her.  

Although, Howard Dean is coming off lately as a nincompoop too.

Here is a group of "insiders", Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry, who have so much disdain for the wife of the only Democratic two-term president since Johnson, and, who's administration, gives them great talking points highlighting the differences between R's and D's.

I don't think that these pols wouldn't know HOW to manage, much less survive the kind of attacks Hillary and Bill Clinton have endured.  They live in safe, liberal places.  The Clintons are from Arkansas.  HRC had to compete in upstate NY.  

Not to be juvenile, but I think this all boils down to the basic feeling of jealousy:  Ted Kennedy knew he could NEVER be president; Kerry lost to a buffoon like Bush 43 and Pelosi knows that she is where she is, save Bush and Cheney from keeling over before January 2009.

I am not a Democrat...anymore because of these kind of actions but support HRC all the way by donating my time and money to her campaign.

She, along with Reid, Dean, and a few other party insiders, are furious at Sen. Clinton for refusing to shut up and go home after Sen. Obama's initial triumphs.

Bad enough Howard Dean is blowing his stack about "Make a decision NOW super d's!".

Once again, the dems replace defeat in the jaws of victory.

Because there are no facts, there is no truth, Just data to be manipulated

IMHO, she's done a lot of damage and she's the very model of missed opportunity, arrogance and bad judgement.  She had a few good moments but has done much more harm than good.

I was supportive of her before.  I was a big supporter of Dean.  I love the 50 state strategy and I considered him a hero.  But they are both screwing up in a major way right now.  Reid, he is and has been an embarrassment for some time now.  He should have resigned months ago.

God, I always heard about the dem circular firing squad but I've never seen a more stark example of it than this primary season.  We started out with an incredibly strong slate of candidates.  They were head and shoulders above the gang of buffoons the Republicans put up.  I've never seen a more clear cut situation for democrats to prevail and virtually sweep through Washington.  Their white horses were sitting right there for them, groomed and ready.  But they chose to slog through the mud instead.  And now, it's not even clear that we can win in November.

Kennedy, Kerry, Dean, Dashle, Reid, Pelosi -- they're ineffective, and way past their sell-by date. A marginalized dem party keeps them powerful. A strong dem party -- the party the Clintons oversaw in the 1990s -- marginalizes them (the old guard).

Make no doubt -- the fierce attempt by the old guard to keep HRC out of the White House is both personal and idealogical in scope. The Clinton presidency of the 1990s proved that the party must become more centrist to survive. That is anathama to the old guard. Really, the war between the old guard dems, and the Clinton dems, as exemplified in this primary, is a war for the future of the party.

In fact, if Clinton doesn't win the nomination, the money I've set aside for her will have to go into the challenger's coffers.

That said, I continue to be surprised how many of the party leaders are willing to show their hands rather than try to maintain an appearance of impartiality.  At the end of the day, what honest broker will remain? I'm afraid there may be a certain underlying blind arrogance that assumes the country will go Dem this fall no matter what so they don't need to be concerned about losing potential Clinton voters.  I hope they're guessing right but I fear they are wrong.
