Despite NH Primary Loss, Hillary Clinton Has 394 Delegates to Bernie's 42 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

[big_dog]

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Bernie Sanders will win at least 13 of the Democratic delegates in New Hampshire and Hillary Clinton will win at least nine. Two delegates haven't yet been allocated.

In the overall race for delegates, Clinton has 394, thanks in large part to endorsements from superdelegate party officials who can support the candidate of their choice.

Sanders has 42 delegates.

It takes 2,382 delegates to win the Democratic nomination for president. http://wjla.com/news/nation-world/despite-nh-primary-loss-clinton-has-394-delegates-to-sanders-42

1. This is still false.

No matter how many times you post it.

[big_dog]

4. as much as the Bernie supporters hate the superdelegate allotments

there are a lot of favors to be paid back from the DNC days, and Bernie will probably get the short end of the stick unfairly. best hope for a hard won floor fight and reconcilliation

[Fearless]

7. Super delegates vote at the convention. You are putting poll results

In with actual votes.

You are wrong.

2. Fuck superdelegates. n/t

[JudyM]

18. Or, better yet, do something about them as DUer bkkyosemite suggested.

Here's the list, write, call, FB or tweet the ones in your state/district:

3. If Bernie keeps winning ...

... and the super delegates and the Party establishment still try and deny him the nomination ...

Well, that would be the end of the Democratic Party.
You'd see a division and civil war so deep that the organization would likely not survive.

15. That is correct.

If the DNC establishment steals the nomination for Hillary, November will be a bloodbath for Democrats, including downticket races. Many of the superdelegates hold elected office...Governors, Senators, Representatives. Are they willing to shackle themselves to a sinking ship?

5. 48 states to go...

Now when Bernie gets the majority of pledged delegates to you think the supers are going to go against the wishes of the people who will or won't reelect them?

[bkkyosemite]

10. Yes

[Samantha]

12. Some of the superdelegates are former office holders and not going to be running for re-election

Take for example, Bill Clinton.

20. Well there is one Super Delegate Hillary might be able to count on.

[-none]

6. I thought Super delegates didn't come into play until the convention.

In which case they cannot be counted until then.

[Fearless]

9. You are correct. This is just the new Hillary meme.

[HooptieWagon]

11. That would be correct.

However, Camp Weathervane and the M$M are desparately trying to maintain the illusion of inevidibility.

8. Contact the Super Delegates and respectfully ask them if they would consider

changing their endorsement to Bernie Sanders.

13. a very good idea

you cant expect the SD to change votes unless you ask respectfully

[retrowire]

14. Totally did, all thanks to you! nt

[lumberjack_jeff]

21. Thanks for this. Advice taken

Congressman Kilmer, In your role as a Democratic superdelegate, I ask that you please withdraw your pledge to Secretary Clinton and support Senator Sanders for Democratic Party nominee. The NH primary proves that Senator Sanders is a better candidate and will be a more viable opponent to Secretary Clinton against the Republicans in the general election. He will also be a better president. He exemplifies the values of the peninsula and was named the senator of the year by the VFW. Regards, Lumberjack_jeff

22. Oh, hell yeah! "Boutique Primaries" ... PERFECT!!

17. This must be part of the kitchen sink strategy. Those superdelegates are not committed. n/t

19. Well, there is this:
