2008 Bernie: pledged delegates + commitments from super delegates = Obama is nominee
6/5/08 Burlington Free Press article --- Sanders endorsed then-Sen. Barack Obama’s candidacy after the Illinois Democrat clinched a majority thanks to a combination of pledged delegates and commitments from party super-delegates.
