...this (from this Newsweek interview with Sen. Clinton for this week):
"How can you win the nomination when the math looks so bleak for you?
It doesn't look bleak at all. I have a very close race with Senator Obama. There are elected delegates, caucus delegates and superdelegates, all for different reasons, and they're all equal in their ability to cast their vote for whomever they choose. Even elected and caucus delegates are not required to stay with whomever they are pledged to. This is a very carefully constructed process that goes back years, and we're going to follow the process."
With this? (from three weeks ago via Greg Sargent at TPM from an email from Phil Singer, Clinton's campaign spokesman):
"We have not, are not and will not pursue the pledged delegates of Barack Obama. It's now time for the Obama campaign to be clear about their intentions."
I guess desperate times call for desperate measures...
