For just a second there, I thought you'd posted another one of the fake HA Goodman headline.

ROLF!

Every single cycle superdelegates cause contention. 2008 was full of Obama supporters who are now Hillary supporters wailing that she was rigging the supers, Obama detractors saying he was buying their votes, Obama himself made a statement that the supers should vote with the electorate and not switch the outcome.....for amusement, look some up.

37% of delegates are have been awarded. She is 41.1% of the way to the nomination. Bernie is 30.8% away. She is in the lead. 64% of delegates still on the table.
