Pelosi: Super-Delegates Should Not Intervene In Dem Race Right Now
Some super-delegates, such as Donna Brazile, are suggesting that the time soon may be ripe to intervene in the Dem primary if it gets nastier, but the ultimate super-del -- Nancy Pelosi -- is warning against such a precipitous move.
In a conversation with reporters today, Pelosi said: "I think the electoral process has to work its way. There are still many voters unheard from yet, and I think that our candidates both have the capacity to inspire, to bring out a big vote that will hold us in good stead in November, and I think that now is not the time for anybody to weigh in."
Pelosi added that she was "never among those who believed this would be resolved by now."
The comments from Pelosi are significant, because they could persuade super-dels who might be thinking of swinging behind a candidate now to hold their fire.
Pelosi has also made it clear in the past that she doesn't believe that the super-dels will end up defying the will of the people at the end of the day.
A quick note: The above quotes come from CNN. We're told that Pelosi said some other stuff that's equally significant, or even more so. As soon as we can get a full transcript we'll bring you the rest.
