Then she disagrees with her parties rules.

If you read Pelosi's words carefully, she just like to spin again: "But it's a delegate race," Pelosi replied. "The way the system works is that the delegates choose the nominee."

She is correct: it is delegates to decide who the nominee is, she does not mention only "pledged delegates".. she said "delegates", which includes......

She is "politically correct"... let convention decide...

Hillary, Barrack and the DNC will get this whole delegate debacle settled(including all the lawsuits that are getting ready to be filed)about 2 months after John McCain is sworn in..

Methinks Pelosi, like Oprah, would be intimidated by a stronger woman like Hillary, thusly, seek to squeeze her out of the picture. Kudos to Hillary for rising above betrayal after betrayal. Something to think about.

It's strange how we can change our minds. In the last election we were all for the popular vote not the delegates. Shouldn't the people's vote count.

Why have any rules or guidelines at all? They are quickly and conveniently disposed of whenever they don't suit the plans.

Rush is right...the queen beee *bzzzzbzzzzbzzz* syndrome...there can be only one queen bee in a domain!

In a rare moment on honesty, Pelosi just sank Hil's battleship. Too bad. I was looking forward to watching McCain demolish her. But now I can watch him demolish the empty suit that is Mr. Obama.

There is a lot of Democrats on both sides that are going to be hurt. Nancy has not done a good job in the House. 29% rating is not very good. Her p[opularity is not a good rating either. (Polling report.com)
Superdelagates are part of the proicess. A process everyone agreed to when this election took place. Obama's words himself. Obama camp and supporter Nancy Pelosi Popular vote is as important as delagets. Sorry your wrong. If Obama wins the nomination I and alot of other true Democrats are voting for McCain. Either way we loose. Thanks to people like Pelosi

S.B. Yup, I can imagine Hillary saying something like that to Nancers. At which point Nancers should come back with a witty reply like "...I hear Vince was almost as hard as Bill was with Monica when they found him...

Well, Kenrda Woods, seems like a contadition in terms -- electable in November and Hillabeans Clinton in the same sentence!

Again, Pelosi said: "delegates", Not "pledged delegates"...

She is a fox...can go either way...

Just a comment to all democrats.

Your primary system weakens you in the general election statistically. Since the General Election is winner take all, and the Democratic Primary is Proportional, it creates a distortional result when compared to the rules they will run under for the big one.

Also, note, that Hilary is winning more of the "swing states" (Florida, Texas, New York, etc.) than Obama. No offense to Obama, but proving you can win California means nothing in the General Election.

All reason Dem's will lose in November.

If you listen really hard you can hear the ObamaBubble bursting? Can you hear it now?

Democrats are no longer scared of the Clintons, they see the opening to be rid of them once and for all.

Obama is the only hope for the country. Hillary is a horribly flawed person who would farther divide a country teetering on the brink of collapse due to the Clinton and Bush years. We cannot survive Hillary and most of the country knows it. Where are the Clinton 06 and 07 tax and library records? What are they hiding and why are they delaying except to hide what we all suspect is a list of corrupt donors.

Nan's right...it is a delegate race.
The Clinton's want it to be popular vote so they can cry for Fl/MI...BUT what about all the states with CAUCUSES...they chose delegates, and did not add to the popular total...who wants to tell those folks their votes don't count ??

It's true those superdelegates can vote any way they want. Heck, I'm sure that 20,000,000 devoted Obama supporters wouldn't mind in the least bit if it was 800 superdelegates who ultimately gave the nomination to Hillary. I'm sure there would be no hard feelings at all if Obama went into the convention with more pledged delegates and the party leadership (which as I understand it includes at least one 21 year old guy in Wisconsin) made the difference. I've heard he's for Obama, but in any case that means one superdelegate has the same weight as about 50,000 voters who spent time listening to speeches, commercials, and waiting in line to vote. Yup, no hard feelings at all.

If they want to be fair to the people, then what counts is the popular vote. The supers should follow whoever wins the popular vote. Either that or the supers vote for whoever they want to, as the rules allow them to. Pelosi's statement makes no sense, because she's choosing one set of rules (most delegates) over another (supers are independent), while disregarding what really matters, the popular vote.

Hey Barack, if your pastor's words ain't legit, you must stop peddlin' your b.s...
