2144349586_53b77536dc_m.jpgWhen Bill Richardson recently pledged his support for Barack Obama, he acted in contradiction to his previous statements that superdelegates should vote as their constituents voted.   When asked about it, he had this to say:

Responded to John Roberts’ question about his reversal in going against his previous position that he would vote as a superdelegate as his state voted by calling Roberts’ position “technical” and saying the closeness of the race there (won by Clinton) gave him some “flexibility.”

Bill Richardson is now saying that a close vote entitles superdelegates to be "flexible" in who they vote for.   

I have to say, that’s a bit of a surprise.
