Reid predicts nomination will be decided before convention

"Things are being done.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says the Democratic presidential nomination will be decided before the August convention.
“It will be done,” Reid said of the ongoing nomination battle in an interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal last week.
As the intense fight between Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) heads into the spring, some party insiders are nervous the protracted battle will help Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee.
Reid, however, did not seem alarmed.
“I had a conversation with [Democratic National Committee Chairman] Governor [Howard] Dean today,” Reid told the paper. “Things are being done.”
He did not elaborate as to what those “things” were.
A superdelegate himself, Reid has not endorsed either candidate.
Reid also told the paper he does not think Michigan and Florida will hold new primaries. Reid did predict that the delegates from the two states will be seated at the convention. However, he did not say how that would be accomplished.
"Michigan and Florida delegates are going to be seated. They're going to be a part of the convention," Reid told the paper.
In a separate interview, Reid told the Associated Press that the two Democratic candidates are "basically the same" on the major issues so that any wounds the two inflict on each other will heal well before the general election.
Despite the barbs currently being traded by the Clinton and Obama camps, Reid told the AP that this year's primary contest has been "one of the most sensationally positive campaigns in the history of our country" for both parties.

Imagine Harry Reid and Howard Dean behind closed doors working out some kind of deal.
"Things are being done.” The Democrats are definitely fucked!

Jesus, thanks for that mental picture.
Just when I was getting over what Harriet Myers must have done for G-Dub to get that SC nomination.

Clinton Insists Dems Race Is a ‘Long Way’ From Over!
Looks Toward Convention
The Democratic race is a “long way from being over,” Hillary Clinton told FOX News on Wednesday, and she has no qualms about taking the primary fight all the way to the convention floor.
In a sit-down interview with FOX News’ Greta Van Susteren, which aired Wednesday night, Clinton said not to write her candidacy’s obituary yet, even though she’s trailing Barack Obama by 157 pledged delegates with opportunities dwindling to make up that gap.
“Sixty-two percent said let it go on,” Clinton said, referring to a new Rasmussen survey that found that portion of Democrats aren’t ready for either candidate to leave the race. “That is what people are telling me. That is what we have to do. Let the voters have a chance to be heard. Nobody should be writing obituaries on this race, because it is a long way from being over.”
The Democratic race has taken unexpected twists and turns in the last two weeks, from the controversy over Obama’s long-time pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to criticism of Clinton’s claims that she landed in Bosnia in 1996 under sniper fire.
But neither candidate is expected to lock down the pledged delegates needed to clinch the nomination before the August convention. And although Democratic leaders are scrambling to avoid a prolonged fight that could give GOP nominee-in-waiting John McCain a decided advantage, Clinton said Wednesday there are too many ifs for the matter to be settled yet.
