"I will step in it"

San Francisco -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will step in if necessary to make sure the presidential nomination fight between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama does not reach the Democratic national convention - though she believes it could be resolved as early as next week.
Pelosi predicted Wednesday that a presidential nominee will emerge in the week after the final Democratic primaries on June 3, but she said "I will step in" if there is no resolution by late June regarding the seating of delegates from Florida and Michigan, the two states that defied party rules by holding early primaries.
"Because we cannot take this fight to the convention," she said. "It must be over before then."
Pelosi made the comments during a wide-ranging, hour-long session before The Chronicle's editorial board. She talked about the prospects for the election of a Democratic president this fall, the legacy of President Bush and the California Supreme Court's ruling legalizing same-sex marriage.
The speaker talked in depth about the party's dilemma as its primary process comes to a close after Sunday's Puerto Rico primary, in which 55 delegates are at stake, and Tuesday's South Dakota and Montana primaries, in which 33 total delegates are up for grabs.
Obama, according to the Associated Press, is within 45 delegates of winning the nomination, a number he could reach by Tuesday. Pelosi said she is confident the Democratic National Committee's rules committee, which meets in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, will resolve the issue of Florida and Michigan.
"For now, 2,026 is the magic number" of pledged and unpledged delegates needed by a candidate to win the party's presidential nomination, she said, but "if they decide to seat (Florida and Michigan) this weekend, there will be a new magic number."

CAT FIGHT !
Pelosi left her brain in Sam Clam’s Disco.
What could she possibly do to stop it?
I know: douse herself with gasoline and light a match.
Please, I don't want to see any fur flying between these two.
And neither does Huma.
GOOD dog! LOL!!!!
Well she may “step in” but that does not rule out the idea that the members of that party who feels slighted won’t still have a big upset...and a disturbance if you will. There will be very disgruntled people and they will let their feelings be known. Operation Chaos is working!
ALL the way to NOV 1,2008!
Well in the early days, when HRC was FL she wanted to be known with her maiden name used. BHO is hiding...
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Our beloved Rottweiler, Jesse, had a Bill Clinton doll. We would throw it and say “get the bad man, Jesse, get the bad man.” She would tear out after the doll and bring it back growling and shaking it in her mouth. We miss her so much.
If this is lewd reference then I agree. But if they want to tear each other apart I'm for it.
She never said “how” she will step in.
"I will step in it"
LARRY SINCLAIR IS IN WASHINGTON D.C.
Allow me to make known that I have arrived in DC and over the next three to five days will be making one hell of a lot of noise. I will try to have the video I was going to post with this picture done and up in the next couple of hours. I have been instructed (asked) by the reporter to only post a portion of it til airing.
Also, please find that I will be personally demanding the DNC explain why the complaint filed by me against Barack Obama last fall has been ignored. I will also be filing formal complaints with the FBI here in DC over the threats made against my life and against my family.
I have more to fill you in on and will shortly, I have to go to a meeting now but I will be back later.
Also, Jeff Rense tomorrow night Live from DC and much more, as I MAKE SOME NOISE.
Super Dels will love this!
What makes her think she has that much power.
Guess she doesn’t know the Clintons, really.
Hee hee hee
bttt
Who is this guy Sinclair, is he credible ?
This is SOOOOO much fun, but unfortunately one of them will get elected. Gawd, we’re in trouble.
Load you weapons and buy a Big Burkey.
Survival isn’t optional. The alternative sucks.
Nancy Pelosi is deeply disturbed!

80% of USA agree....
Larry Sinclair I think has some credibility, he will be talking to the FBI tomorrow, you don’t do that without some creds. Heck he’s got just as much as Obsama.
Hillary is warming up for a "Gotterdamerung" moment at the convention, with a "Ragnarok" chaser.
Going to be some pumpkins in Denver.
