Harry Reid: Nominee will be decided before the convention.

[femmedem]

From an interview last week:

Question: Do you still think the Democratic race can be resolved before the convention?

Reid: Easy.

Q: How is that?

Reid: It will be done.

Q: It just will?

Reid: Yep.

Q: Magically?

Reid: No, it will be done. I had a conversation with Governor Dean (Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean) today. Things are being done.

That's all the Nevada Democrat would say about it.

1. I so hope this is true

It is time for us to unite and run against McCain.

2. ditto

3. Yea, Harry!

I hope so. It's time to move on, IMO.

6. Maybe Harry's grown a pair?! Is it possible?

4. The longer they drag their feet on this, the better McCain's chances

5. they worked a deal

what'd they promise hilary

senate majority leader?

whip?

a chairmanship, maybe ted kennedy's spot on health and education?


theres no way they talked obama into quitting when he's leading. maybe secretary of state?

7. well - whatever deal they cut - they had better make it very very public

otherwise it will be difficult to unite the two D-factions. There are a lot of bad feelings right now toward the other side of the party.

8. totally

hillary benefits more from making a graceful exit soon and being able to claim a good position than she does by tearing down the front runner and causing the party to lose power.

not that I'm super pro obama, I lean towards him because I agree with him a bit more now and some of his endorsees are ones I respect. but by appearing to leave "for the good of the party" she comes off with a lot of political capital on her side.

9. I agree with you . . . from the position of being a supporter of neither

but - I think she can be effective in a number of high-profile positions. So lets be done with it and move forward - enough in-fighting.

And make it all public - so the Hillary supporters will see she will have a major role in the next administration.
