House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says it would be damaging to the Democratic party for its leaders to buck the will of national convention delegates picked in primaries and caucuses, a declaration that gives a boost to Sen. Barack Obama.

"If the votes of the superdelegates overturn what's happened in the elections, it would be harmful to the Democratic party," Pelosi said in an interview taped Friday for broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week."....

In her interview, Pelosi also said that even if one candidate winds up with a larger share of the popular vote than the delegate leader, the candidate who has more delegates should prevail.

"It's a delegate race," she said. "The way the system works is that the delegates choose the nominee."


It's time for Hillary to stop this nonsense and concede. She can't win. But she can sure as hell take the rest of us down with her. And she is.


Why would Hillary concede? She's probably going to clean Obama's clock in the next primary & has a good chance at regaining the popular vote. It won't matter if Obama has a couple of extra pledged delegates to the superdelegates.


Her track record thus far really hasn't shown that. And PA is pretty much expected to go to her so the only surprise would be if Obama upsets her there or if she wins by a small percentage rather than a large one. Just like Ohio, you can't really crow about momentum if you were already expected to win there.
