PI @ DNC: Schakowsky Has Two Words For Wavering Clinton Supporters: "Supreme Court"

During the Illinois delegation breakfast meeting this morning, Rep. Jan Schakowsky kicked off the roster of speakers.  Holding up a copy of USA Today, she read out some numbers from their recent poll, highlighting their finding that more than half of Hillary Clinton supporters are not "solidly behind Obama."  Schakowsky then pointed out that if all the Democratic primary voters were to vote in the general election, Obama would win handily.  She urged Clinton supporters to help make this happen and said to the crowd, "If you have trouble making the argument, I offer you two words: Supreme Court."
