Naturally, my friends at the 2008 Democratic Convention Watch are keeping an eye out for all the Democratic delegates. While the RNC stripped Florida of half of the GOP delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention, the DNC played hardball and stripped all of Florida's to their Convention.

Well, they is, until Nancy Pelosi--the Permanent Chair of the convention--opened her mouth:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has let the cat out of the bag and said what everyone has known all along: The Democratic National Committee's removal of all of Florida's 2008 convention delegates for violating party rules about scheduling state primaries before Feb. 5 is meaningless.

Speaking with a covey of political reporters at a lunch in Washington today, Pelosi was asked what she thought of the delegate termination. "That will be determined by the presidential nominee," said Pelosi, who will serve as honorary chair of the convention next August in Denver. "The Democratic National Committee is the ruling authority now," she said, "but the tradition is that the presidential candidate will decide."

Hopefully they can still find a hotel.
