House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., flanked by Rep. Bob Filner, D-Calif., left, and Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Texas, speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, May 21, 2008, to discuss the House’s accomplishments on behalf of veterans.

Nancy Pelosi says she will step into the fray if there is no resolution by late June regarding the seating of delegates from Florida and Michigan.

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.”

Bill and Hillary Clinton will not allow this fight to end on Pelosi’s or any other party member’s dictate or timetable. They both will leave the arena when they are ready.

Of course, Obama could speed things along by offering to pay Hillary’s campaign debts – just as a start. But, this would drain his coffers and the DNC under Howard Dean has woefully under performed in fundraising.

In the meantime, Hillary will do more damage to Obama in the key white working class demographic in the Midwest.
