Speier Makes a Splash -- As a New Superdelegate for Hillary?

[courtesy of The California Majority Report]

Congresswoman Jackie Speier. I just love writing that!

Anyway ... Apparently Speier made quite the entrance after being sworn into Congress yesterday, opening with a scathing attack on the war in Iraq that caused Republicans to boo and was enough to make California Congressman Darrell "Crybaby" Issa to bolt from the floor of the U.S. House.

You gotta like that.

On the political front, Speier also made news. As a member of Congress, she automatically becomes a new Superdelegate.

Speier long ago endorsed Senator Hillary Clinton. But according to the San Francisco Chronicle, she indicated yesterday that she hasn't indicated which way she'll vote at the convention.

My gut tells me Speier sticks with Hillary. Speier knows how tough it is to be a woman in politics, and, in many ways, is cut from the same cloth as Hillary Clinton. We'll see what happens by the time the Denver convention rolls around, but it's difficult to believe Speier will throw Hillary overboard anytime soon.
