A Statement by Democratic Leaders on the End of the Presidential Primary Process

Washington D.C. - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DGA Chairman Joe Manchin and DNC Chairman Howard Dean today issued the following statement:

“We have come to the end of an exciting primary and caucus process - the voters have spoken. As the Democratic leaders of the Senate, House of Representatives, the Governors and the Democratic National Committee we commend all of the participants of the 2008 primary process, especially Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, for making this such a transformational election. Because of the enthusiasm our candidates have inspired, our party has brought record numbers of voters to the polls, gained millions of newly registered Democrats and now has advantages in states many thought were difficult to win. We are grateful to the millions of Independents and Republicans who have crossed over to vote for a Democratic candidate for President.

“Democrats must now turn our full attention to the general election. To that end, we are urging all remaining uncommitted super delegates to make their decisions known by Friday of this week so that our party can stand united and begin our march toward reversing the eight years of failed Bush/McCain policies that have weakened our country.

“We once again congratulate all of the candidates for their leadership and dedication to providing this country with a New Direction. We look forward to working with them and with all Democrats to win the White House, congressional seats and state capitals so we can deliver the change the American people deserve and demand.”

1. Time to pivot.

I hope everybody is good with transitions.

3. One would have thought that yesterday's landslide would have been adequate

but listening to Hillary last night, she still doesn't get it. Evidently we'll have to get another 100 uncommitted SDs for Obama and another 50 Clinton SDs to switch before she will get the message -- if even then.

Everybody is getting damn tired of kissing this drama queen's ass. Somebody needs to lay into her.

I saw McAuliffe on The Daily Show. It is clear this is all just a game to him. It is all just playtime. These DLCers don't have any interest in the issues that are affecting us. It is just a game they play. That was one of the most reprehensible displays I have seen recently.
