So today, I was looking for pictures of ToA's Guy Cecil, and guess what I found! : D

I ran into Guy Cecil, (lolwat ) Clinton's openly gay national field director, in her Philly HQ and asked him what he thought of the comments of Barney Frank (a Clinton supporter) earlier this week that the Democratic candidate who is trailing by June 3rd, should drop out of the race.

"It depends on what trailing means," Cecil said. "I think there is a reasonably likely possibility that either one of us could end up with the popular vote and that regardless of where the pledged delegate count is, it may not reflect what the overall popular vote of the election is. That’s something that I think will be considered."

Cecil reiterated the campaign's position that superdelegates are called upon to make an individual assessment as to who they think the best candidate is.

He suggested that the race is still fluid too fluid to call and then brought up Michigan and Florida. "Democrats should never ever be about disenfranchising voters and regardless of the rules and processes, the fact is that 2.5 million people voted in these states," he said. "I’m a native Floridian and it was the single largest turnout in primary history in the state of Florida -- almost 1.8 million." Disenfranchising voters, he added, was not "the right thing to do" nor was it a smart move for the Democratic Party.

"What we have said all along is we want all the votes to be counted, and there is a process in place, and the process may end June 3rd, it may end July 1st and rather than setting an arbitrary deadline, I think it will become clear at some point in the campaign that it’s time for the apparent nominee to be in and for the other person to be out. But I don’t think we’re comfortable saying here’s the date," he said.

Asked whether it would play out before the convention, Cecil responded, "Well, I think that’s the most likely scenario, but I don’t know that that’s going to be the case. Look, there’s a lot of focus on the campaigns going back and forth and what does this do to the nominee? The greatest thing that could have ever happened to our party is a spirited contest in which 100s of thousands of new people are registering to vote as Democrats, hundreds of thousand of new people are coming out to vote ... those are all good things. So I think it’s been a good thing just looking at it from a party perspective, and I do believe, when the nominee is selected -- and we are hoping and expecting it to be Hillary -- that the party’s going to come together."

As for Rep. Frank, he said, "While we’re more than happy and thrilled to have Congressman’s Frank’s support -- and he’s been great in helping us -- we should not set an arbitrary deadline for when the nominee should or should not be determined."

I think it's safe to say Barney's comments weren't vetted by the campaign.
