Well, it has taken her a couple of months, but Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has said that the Democratic race should go on and that superdelegates have the right “to vote as they wish.” These superdelegates have the right to vote their conscience and who they think would be the better president, or who can win, but they also then should get involved in the campaigns and make their power known there,” Pelosi said in an interview aired Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Pelosi was, rightfully, criticized recently for saying that she agrees with Barack Obama (that superdelegates “should be guided by the vote for pledged delegates”). But now she has changed her public stance a bit… Or has she?

Pelosi repeated her view that it would it be harmful to the party if superdelegates were perceived to overturn the will of voters, but made clear she was not suggesting Clinton withdraw from the race.

“I think the election has to run its course,” Pelosi said. “I think that for all that I have said about respecting the will of the people that the inference to be drawn from that is that we have to continue the election in terms of hearing from the people.

“You have the right to vote as you wish… it’s just that you’ll do great damage to the party if you don’t vote for Obama.“
