Party insiders give Clinton early, commanding delegate edge

Source: STEPHEN OHLEMACHER and HOPE YEN, Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton has locked up public support from half of the Democratic insiders who cast ballots at the party's national convention, giving her a commanding advantage over her rivals for the party's presidential nomination.

Clinton's margin over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is striking. Not only is it big, but it comes more than two months before primary voters head to the polls — an early point in the race for so many of the people known as superdelegates to publicly back a candidate.

"She has the experience necessary not only to lead this country, she has experience politically that I think will help her through a tough campaign," said Unzell Kelley, a county commissioner from Alabama.

"I think she's learned from her previous campaign," he said. "She's learned what to do, what to say, what not to say — which just adds to her electability."

agenda with issues she heard while she was on the listening tour. Her abilities and experience places her above all of the candidates for president. She is pushing for our issues and not promoting a personal promotion in trying to prove a point.
