Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on KGO radio yesterday:
There's not going to be a fight at the convention...we are all going to urge our folks to next week make a decision very quickly. Simple math indicates that next Tuesday...Obama will probably have the necessary number.
Another Reid quote:
I don't lament this campaign taking as long as it has, but it's time it ended. ...By this time next week, it will all be over give or take a day.
The L.A. Times reports that Reid and Pelosi are working together to end the campaign next week.
WASHINGTON -- Hillary Rodham Clinton is coming under growing pressure from Democratic Party leaders and elected officials to quit the race, while some of her own supporters seem reluctant to rally behind her strategy for salvaging her presidential ambitions.
Intervening in the primary fight, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are sending public and private messages to superdelegates urging them to make a choice once primary voting ends Tuesday.
..."We're going to urge folks to make a decision quickly -- next week," Reid said in an interview with a radio program in his state of Nevada. "We agree there won't be a fight at the convention."
Pelosi and Reid have made it clear this thing will come to a close next week, and there's no one better positioned to get the undeclared superdelegates off their butts than those two. Assuming they pull it off, the race will have moved that much closer to finality regardless of what Clinton does.
