Ellen Ratner at the Talk Radio News Service was a guest on Thom Hartmann's Air America program today. Based on what Pelosi has said and what Ms. Ratner is seeing and hearing from the Clintons, like Rachael Maddow, Ms. Ratner believes that Hillary is aiming for the nuclear option.
More of what Pelosi said:
...I think, thought that Hillary Clinton and Senator Obama, having a good chance to win the nomination, starting thinking about who his or her running mate might be. What transition teams they might have. Whether they should be briefed by the White House, by the administration on issues of concern to our country. This election is right around the corner, and the new president will be sworn in in a matter of months.

First Rachel now Ellen Ratner. This makes me very, very nervous. I've heard from some of you that Clinton would never commit political suicide which might be the fallout of her taking this to the convention. If her goal is the "White House or else!" and she has even the smallest chance of of getting the nomination, why stop?
There was a diary last night about Maddow's Air America forecast that if the supers don't commit to Obama before the May 31 Rules Committee meeting the nomination is going to the convention. I won't rehash that discussion here, but Pelosi's comments just add more fuel to the fire.
