House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that the Democratic presidential race is over, and it's time to rally around the party's nominee.
"Running for President is not for the faint of heart. This is very difficult, and people have to unwind from it in their own time, but I think the message was clear last night. The people have spoken, the elections are over for the nomination. Barack Obama is the nominee of the Democratic party," Pelosi said.
The California congresswoman, who remained neutral throughout the primary season, said Senator Hillary Clinton should be able to take some time before formally conceding - but stressed the party's need to shift its focus to the general election.
Asked about a Friday deadline she and other party leaders set for uncommitted superdelegates, Pelosi said it's time for those undeclared party officials to get behind Obama: "Now it's time to rally around that person and attribute to him all that goes with being - carrying the banner of the Democratic party and all the dignities that go with it."
Wow, to be that brave to step forward and say "Obama is our guy" AFTER the nomination has been clinched must be so great. How would anyone else have the intestinal fortitude to stick their political neck out and make such a bold statement?
Face it, she's a coward, just like every other "fence sitter" out there in the Democratic party. They waited for a clear winner to emerge and that's why you saw a huge number of Clinton supporters move over to Obama. They're fair weather friends and want to be seen with a winner.
How is that fight against "the culture of corruption" coming Miss Pelosi?
