Capitol Hill – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells ABC's "This Week" it would be harmful to the Democratic party if the superdelegate votes overturn what's happened in the primaries and caucuses.
Barack Obama leads Hillary Rodham Clinton by more than 140 pledged delegates. But Clinton has more support than Obama from party leaders who act as superdelegates.

More than 500 delegates remain to be picked in primaries beginning on April 22 in Pennsylvania.
