she also said "rules are rules" as far as michigan and florida being tossed because the states didn't abide by the DNC rules. then she said that politics are politics and that michigan and florida will have to be accomodated somehow.
"The rules are the rules. You really can't say, 'OK, well, we had the rules, but never mind,' " Pelosi said. "Having said that, the politics are the politics, and it's going to be up to the Democratic National Committee, the states involved and the campaigns to resolve this issue."
Pelosi said she's staying out of the fracas because, as chair of the party's convention in Denver in August, she may be called upon to referee the dispute.
"As chair of the convention, I want to make sure I can moderate the matter in a fair way," she said. "But I mean, let's face it: Barack Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan, so how can you say that that was an election? I think Florida has a bigger case. But in each of the cases, they are outside the rules and an accommodation is going to have to be made."
