Hillary Clinton's Campaign Chair Pinky Swears This Will All Be Over by June 15
Terry McAuliffe — chairman of the Clinton campaign — was recently asked by David Corn this interminable soul-sucking Democratic primary will finally end. And he answered…
"June 15," he said without a nanosecond of hesitation.
Why then? I asked. The primaries finish on June 3, he noted, and after that there will be pressure on the uncommitted superdelegates (who now number about 300) to commit to one candidate or another. It should not take too long for these undecided insiders to make up their minds and declare their intentions — even if there are some who would rather not choose between the two…
So, I asked, I have a promise? June 15? "June 15," he said. You keep it alive beyond that, I noted, and it could be a nuclear war within the party. (In fact, even if McAuliffe and Clinton succeed by winning enough superdelegates in the 12 days after the primaries to trump Barack Obama's lead in pledged delegates, there still could be an intra-party apocalypse.) He didn't take the bait. "June 15," he repeated.
For the record, June 15 is before the Democratic Nation Convention in August.

I really don't care what you say OR do and im also not a feminist and i am not going to vote for Hillary HOWEVER; if you say that she is going to "thread the needle" i WILL lose it. You think that's clever? Think again old man…or at least think of new puns. I don't give a crap about you or her but I mean COME ON…Thanks, goodnight
You misheard – you are twisting his words – he never said that & he's tired of you reporters following around playing the "date card".
Why ask the Clinton campaign chairman? What's wrong with Howard Dean? Shouldn't he have been asked? Oh yeah, Hillary and Bill decided for him. But will Hillary quit if Obama gets the nomination?
Could be nuclear war within the party? Could be? I think the balloon went up 6 weeks ago.
