Those numbers count superdelegates Min. Superdelegates can change their vote at any time, all the way until the convention. Several of them have already switched to Sanders.
The point is, it's not over yet. It's not over until Clinton has 2,383 delegates.

I'm not including or excluding anything. That is what the pros said and published. BTW, of 41 Democratic senators who are superdelegates the count is 40-1 in Clinton's favor.
The next primary is March 5 in Louisiana. Real Clear Politics predicts that Sanders is going to get crushed. We'll see quite soon whether they are right or not.

I wish Bernie didn't have to fight so hard, but it's going to be rough getting into power when you're openly anti establishment.

If my quoting professional political watchers is "including it" then guilty as charged. Do you seriously think that if people were going to "change their minds" they would have come out for Clinton in the first place when all they had to do was stay silent?
Come on, Tibs. Be serious. Sanders is an independent running for the democratic nomination. That is not lost on the democratic establishment.

Clinton won big in states that Democrats have no chance of winning in November. In every state where the Democratic nominee actually has a chance, Sanders has either won outright or kept it very close.
Honestly, the fact that one of the most famous, well-known and well-funded politicians in my lifetime, with the entire party apparatus, virtually endless supplies of SuperPAC cash and an extremely biased media at her disposal, is running this close and losing states to a guy funded entirely by individual donations and enthusiasm, someone nobody had even heard of a year ago and was not a Democrat until then, should not be lost on the Democratic establishment either. She's a terrible candidate who may very well get destroyed in November.
