Superdelegates didn't save her in 2008.

2008 and 2016 are vastly different elections. She had a lead in Supers, but it was much closer than the one now. There was a legitimate debate among democratic party elites over Obama vs the Clinton Camp that simply does not exist now.

While those voters could switch, the chances of that now are exceptionally unlikely. Sanders has shown none of the key sort of signals that would cause a shift in opinion among elites, and he is unlikely to win enough delegates at this point for it to be close enough for them to matter.

I know very little about the US and am going just from the Guardian website but while Clinton is ahead in total vote count, but maybe some of the precincts left are going waaaay to Bernie? edit: scrub this, looks like it was just bollocks. :v:

superdelegates aren't going to go against a mandate. lumping them together with pledged delegates this early is a bad idea.

Okay fine, she's up ~700 to ~200. Being up 500 pledged delegates is effectively the same as being up ~600 total delegates.

Hillary's MA win is very similar to her NV win: Sanders getting them close is very impressive, but given those two particular states over the line means his campaign's going to be toast very shortly. :sigh:

I mean, that and the statistics, of course, but it's telling.
