Hillary Rodham Clinton urging his boss to stop making comments about the superdelegates respecting the will of Democratic primary voters and caucus-goers:<br \/>\n\u201cSpeaker Pelosi is confident that superdelegates will choose between Sens. Clinton or Obama \u2014 our two strong candidates \u2014 before the convention in August,&#8221; Daly said. &#8220;That choice will be based on many considerations, including respecting the decisions of millions of Americans who have voted in primaries and participated in caucuses. The speaker believes it would do great harm to the Democratic Party if superdelegates are perceived to overturn the will of the voters. This has been her position throughout this primary season, regardless of who was ahead at any particular point in delegates or votes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh.My.Heck!
