I'll bet Hillary's head about exploded when she heard this!
I do believe what Pelosi is saying though, if the majority Democrat delegates voted in favor of one candidate, it shouldn't be in the hands of the
super-delegates who the people can have to run for president.
This may thwart 'ole Hillary's "new" campaign plan, because from various things I've read, it seems she was
really trying to woo the
super-delagates to vote for her.

Hillary has also lost a super-delegate vote when NY Governor Spitzer resigned.
Spitzer Does a Number on Hillary’s
Superdelegate Count
n a race where every vote for the Democratic nomination for president counts, Hillary Clinton lost one on Wednesday when New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer
resigned amid media reports linking him to a prostitution ring.
****SKIP****
Each Democratic governor is given superdelegate status automatically, meaning they can make their own choices about which candidate to support at the
Democratic National Convention in August.
****SKIP****
Lieutenant Gov. David Paterson will replace Spitzer as governor on Monday, but he already holds superdelegate status as a member-at-large. Paterson,
who spoke at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, is also committed to Clinton, but he only gets one vote.
Spitzer lost his super-delegate status when he resigned. Paterson, who is replacing Spitzer is already a super-delegate, super-delegates get only 1
vote per person, you can't be a "double" super delegate and get 2 votes, each super delegate gets only one vote, and Hillary lost Spitzer's.
