Rahm: "I Suppose I'll Have To Do Something"

Lynn Sweet talked to Rep. Rahm Emanuel today about his undeclared status during the Democratic primary season and he made clear he's not going to step into the battle for the nomination until all the primaries have concluded. Not surprisingly, he seems to realize that, if and when that day comes, he's going to be in a unique position to end this thing:

Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), an uncommitted superdelegate torn between two friends, told me Friday he is waiting “for the voters to issue their verdict” before making any decision.

“When the primaries are done,” Emanuel said, “If that process is over and if there is not a clear nominee, I suppose I’ll have to do something.” He said he was not sure what yardstick he will use to measure voter preference—popular vote, delegates won, etc.
