Thank you Massholes! No way this can be spun as anything other than an amazing night for Hillary now.

Bernie got 4 wins, and should shut Hillary out of delegates in Vermont.

Pledged yes, supers no.

Ah, yes. The Superdelegate Defense. Basically implying that if Clinton doesn't win the nomination democratically, she'll win it undemocratically.

Dude, she's gonna be up ~250 pledged after tonight. That's basically insurmountable in a proportional system. Might need to update those talking points.

I'd argue that anybody who still talks about superdelegates needs to update their own talking points first.

Uh, in the 2008 primaries Hillary won over 300,000 more votes than Obama, but he still won because of superdelegates.

I agree that they are unnecessary, but they do matter and it's not some kind of anti-Sanders/pro-Hillary "anti-democracy" conspiracy.

CNN spinning it as Bernie making it a race.

Yeah according to them Bernie is going to win everything from here on out...

The entire former confederacy except for Kentucky will be done voting by the 15th.

And then we move to the Midwest and the coasts, where Hillary going to rack up more delegates and votes in big states!

Estimate w/IA, NV, ME, WA

Obama - 17,869,542

Clinton - 17,717,698

Either way, superdelegates (and Caucuses) are an affront to the democratic system.

I wouldn't trust RCP to have their numbers updated. I'd use Wiki instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries,_2008
