Steed: Democrats will unite behind nominee

WASHINGTON -- Maryland's Michael Steed played a prominent role in a nationally televised drama that featured high stakes political maneuvering that could help decide the next President of the United States.

Steed, of New Market, is a member of the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee. Today four cable networks followed a day-long proceeding that decided whether or not to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan after those two states held primaries in violation of party rules.

A supporter for Hillary Clinton, Steed said he felt confident that there would not be fights in Denver between Clinton and Barack Obama supporters.

"I think very quickly here we qill have a nominee it will either be Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama and I think the party ranks will form behind whoever it is," he said.
