Depends on What "Pledged" Means?   [Rich Lowry]

Per Mark Halperin, Hillary seems to raise the possibility of de-pledging pledged delegates again in this Newsweek interview:

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.
