Obama picks up a slew of endorsements...

Should I give up hope?

In the words of Dilbert, "It replaces that sad feeling with emptiness."

Which is preferable?

Insiders are now saying that Pelosi prefers Obama and is considering an endorsement. That could be devastating to Hillary as it represents the loss of her establishment support. Pelosi also presides over the largest group of Democratic superdelegates.

Also please note the main reason supposedly as to why Pelosi prefers Obama: she is far more optimistic about House races with him as the nominee. Pelosi and her advisers apparently believe that with Obama as the nominee Democrats will gain seats while with Hillary as the nominee Democrats will lose seats.

Source?

Frankly, House races don't matter much in Presidential years. No one remembers all the seats the Democrats lost in 1960.

The source is legit (the link at DU goes back to The Times of the UK), but my reason for asking remains - I cannot find where it says that "she is far more optimistic about House races with him as the nominee.

It sounds to me like she is thinking that if a divisive party fight goes on too long, then the party's chances in Congress would be threatened, and since Obama is currently leading, anyone thinking along those lines would be "leaning" toward him. The quote about bringing new voters into the process is interesting, but it doesn't quite amont to the same as 'we would win seats with candidate x and lose with candidate y.' Or I could just be missing the exact quote.

The post he linked to does provide links to more reputable sources, and it's in a neat collection.

Exactly the reason why I did so.

So where is the source that says

Still unanswered.
