Donna Brazile said in THE SITUATION ROOM on February 6, 2008, with Wolf Blitzer, that she would quit the democratic party if the Super Delegates ended up choosing the party’s nominee.
She articulated that, if either candidate won the nomination without securing the 2100 state delegates needed, and would then require the super delegates to push them over the top, she would quit the party.
Here’s a few links to CNN transcripts that reference the quote (note none of them are alike):

And the actual interview: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0802/06/sitroom.01.html
BLITZER: And, Donna, speaking out against those superdelegates, you are one of those super-delegates, aren’t you?
BRAZILE: I’m one of them.
BLITZER: You’re one of those. But you’re not a committed super- delegate yet?
BRAZILE: Well, I think, if 795 of my colleagues decide this election, I will quit the Democratic Party. I feel very strongly about this.
BLITZER: Really?
(CROSSTALK)
BRAZILE: There’s no reason why we should decide this election. I feel very strongly.
BLITZER: All right.
JEFFREY: Donna can start an independent party with Ann Coulter.
(LAUGHTER)
BLITZER: She’s not going to go that far.
(LAUGHTER)
BRAZILE: I’m not going that far. I will just spend more time with Wolf.
(LAUGHTER)
BLITZER: Yes, that’s right. You can be here in THE SITUATION ROOM.
Everyone needs to send emails to CNN and Donna Brazile, that when you “Mark your words” they will in fact be MARKED.
Love ya Donna
Ann
P.S. In the transcript, the “(CROSSTALK)” Includes the juciest bits of the whole discussion. Can anyone drum up a video of this? Post it on YouTube for me if you can. kTHXbi.
