Hillary: "So-Called Pledged Delegates" Are Expected To Act Independently
In an interview with Mark Halperin, Hillary Clinton again put out the idea that pledged delegates do not have to stick with the candidate they were elected to back: "We talk a lot about so-called pledged delegates, but every delegate is expected to exercise independent judgment."
Hillary spokesman Phil Singer told reporters yesterday that such a statement of the rules is "not a cause for hysteria," and denied having any plans to try and recruit Barack Obama's delegates, while campaign strategist Harold Ickes was much more equivocal on the subject.
