Pelosi Says Women Won't Suffer a `Step Back' If Clinton Loses ( here it comes the Pelosi #s)

[Ichingcarpenter]

May 22 (Bloomberg) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said women won't suffer a ``step back'' if Democrat Hillary Clinton loses her presidential bid, and rejected the idea of sexism in the presidential campaign.

Clinton, 60, a New York senator, is ``bigger than all of it'' and has shown ``courage,'' Pelosi, a California Democrat, said in an interview with Judy Woodruff broadcast on the PBS NewsHour last night.

``A woman is down to the wire in contention for the presidential nominee,'' Pelosi said. ``You know she still may win this -- but whatever the outcome, new ground has been broken, and it won't be left broken. It will be built upon.''

Pelosi, 68, said the Democrats' delegate-selection process, not the popular vote, will determine whether Illinois Senator Barack Obama or Clinton wins the party's nomination this year.

``The person who has the most delegates becomes the nominee of the party,'' Pelosi said. ``It's not been about the popular vote.''>>>snip

Pelosi said she isn't concerned about racial divisions that appear to be reflected in votes in some primary states, and that the outcome of the Oregon primary -- where Obama overwhelmingly won white voters -- provided further evidence that the Illinois senator can appeal to both black and white voters.

``Should he become the nominee of our party with the message of change and what that change means for working families in America, I think those same people will see that their interests are served by a Democratic president,'' Pelosi said. ``It needs to be attended to, but I don't think it's a worry.''

9. Nancy Pelosi is 68?!?!?!

No way. I dont believe it. I thought she was about 50. DAMN she looks good!

[ecstatic]

10. I'm absolutely shocked too! I would have never guessed nt

[bunnies]

12. All I can say is that I hope I look as good at 50 as she does at 68.

wow.

[americanstranger]

13. I was once in the same room with her, in '03.

If I didn't know how old she was and someone had told me, I would never have believed them.

She looks amazing.

- as

[bunnies]

16. Im just totally blown away.

I'd love to know her secret!

[davidinalameda]

19. think Dorian Grey

:bounce:

[JanusAscending]

26. Good genes,plus

hair coloring and makeup. Being thin doesn't hurt either, (no saggy skin)! I'm the same age as she is, and except for the being thin part, I must say I look pretty good for my age too. You are as young as you feel, and I've never grown up!!!:rofl:

[quantass]

34. BULLSHIT! That's 68?!111!! Impressive! Hill then looks like she's 90

[NewHampshireDem]

11. Good for Nancy

I guess she remembers how proud of her we all were when she became Madam Speaker, and how we have supported other ground-breaking Democratic women (and, on occasion, the ground-breaking Republican women too, like Justice O'Connor). No one who has a memory longer than that of a goldfish really believes that our rejection of Senator Clinton is anything more than a rejection of her policies, her record, or the campaign that she has run.

Yes, it is unfortunate that at times our anger has gotten the better of us, but at the end of the day ... :shrug:

[pocoloco]

23. And then she took a great big dump on top of the

United States Constitution.

Fuck her and the rest of the bush* enablers!

[NewHampshireDem]

28. I won't deny that you have a point there

:shrug:

I was trying to keep it positive, though, and remember the good times. But, yeah, been down hill for us across the board since the great victory of '06 turned out to be a real dud.

[TexasObserver]

14. Remember when Mr. Pelosi was Speaker of the House, and Nancy was married to him?!

Oh, that's right. She was never married to the Speaker of the House. She actually created her own political path and legacy.

15. ...

:thumbsup:

29. lol. good one. you tricked me! nt

35. SNAP

[MagickMuffin]

17. Madam Speaker, Thanks for the heads up

Obama has 1,962 delegates, according to an Associated Press tally, putting him 64 delegates shy of the 2,026 needed to clinch the nomination.
The results from yesterday's primaries left Clinton with 1,779 delegates, or 247 short.

Obama also continues to pick up superdelegates. He's gotten eight so far this week, including West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd on May 19 and Connecticut Representative Joseph Courtney yesterday. That brings his superdelegate tally to 308.5 compared with Clinton's 280.5.

In the past two weeks, he has outpaced Clinton in such endorsements by better than 10 to 1.

40. Nancy knows the score.

Of course women won't be set back. We didn't come this far to be thwarted by one woman not making it all the way. We are bigger than that. We contain multitudes.

...Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.) ...
