BURBANK, Calif. Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is unlikely to catch rival Barack Obama in pledged delegates, hinted on Thursday that she hoped to persuade a few to back her instead of him.
There is no such thing as a pledged delegate, Clinton said at a news conference in California, where she has been fundraising.
Both Clinton and Obama planned to address the state convention of the North Dakota Democratic Party Friday, where delegates to this summers national convention will be allocated. Obama crushed Clinton in the states Feb. 5 presidential caucuses, 61-36 percent.
The former first lady said she was traveling to North Dakota to thank her supporters and delegates and wooing Obama supporters was fair game.
Pledged delegates are misnomer. The whole point is for delegates, however they are chosen, to really ask themselves who would be the best president and who would be our best nominee against Senator McCain, Clinton said. And I think that process goes all the way to the convention.
While the DNC has no rules requiring pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses to vote for the candidate, the people who serve as pledged delegates are selected by the campaigns who won them and loyalty is a key qualification.
Obama currently leads in the delegate count, 1,634-1,500, according to The Associated Press. Because of the way Democrats apportion delegates, Clinton is not projected to catch Obama even if she has a strong showing in the remaining 10 contests.

There is something tacky about somebody who cannot lose gracefully. AlGore case-in-point. That said, I hope Hillary goes right to the bitter, bitter end.
GO HILLARY GO! FIGHT HILLARY FIGHT! SPEND HILLARY SPEND! RUN HILLARY RUN!

Gotta marvel at the brazenness.
Dear Hillary: Some delegates might honor your belief and switch to Obama.
Keep in mind this statement about delegates is from someone who only believes in marriage for political reasons.
“no such thing as a pledged superdelagate”
hmm, and they got bent out of shape over Bill Richardson because.....
they are such pathological liars. it blows my mind that anyone, at anytime could ever believe anything those two spew out.
Chelsea is probably adopted. they picked her up as an orphan because it was polictically expediant to appear to have a child. hillary cant because the birthing of a jackal would take time to explain away.
