Damn, you couldn't ask for a better horserace.
...but so far, the majority of superdelegates are with Clinton, and I don't see them changing overnight. Sanders better get some hella good results over the next weeks.

1279 to 1027 is the current delegate scores when excluding superdelegates.

469 to 32 is superdelegate scores. But many of the 32 are commited to Bernie (i.e. they chose based on the people's vote in their state)

whereas Clinton's supers were prescribed before voting took place, which means many of them are more likely to change their pledge once they weigh in the people's vote.

There are still two big states left with 200 or so delegates (NY and Cali). Once we see the gap between Clinton and Sanders after those two states, we'll have a better idea of Sander's chances.

Look at past elections. Pre-pledged Superdelegates change their votes after the state primaries. All Clinton's were pre-pledged.

You mean the state that elected Hillary to the Senate? Good luck with that.

Actually I think California has 400+ compared to NY's ~200. And theres two other stated with ~200 and ~100.

I'm perfectly aware that she's "from" NY. For that reason I give her a chance.

Let's be honest, the typical American either doesn't know about that, doesn't care about it, or is too stupid to realize that it's a bad thing.

There is talk of Bernie speaking at the University at Buffalo on Monday at the Alumni Arena. The students petitioned him to visit and UB officials are ironing out the details.

Though if he does appear, I suspect they will need a significantly larger venue than the Arena.

I'll be watching Bernie's website for tickets!
