"a survey of party insiders"

[kcjohn1]

wow this is what AP used to tell us hillary clinched? a SURVEY? why hold elections anymore. just at the beginning tell us who the insiders are for, and we can avoid the trouble of voting.

man how far journalism has fallen. how desperate clinton campaign wants to avoid embarrassing lose in California

1. "party insiders" = super delegates

If they called up a bunch of them, and found a few dozen saying they were voting for Hillary (who had not previously publicly declared so), then adding those to the ones who had already declared, they would hit the number.

2. but it's really bizarre to call it a commitment when it's not even public.

this is a really good argument for getting rid of superdelegates

3. The Clinton campaign put them in touch with those 40 SD's...

...Hillary was asking to "hold off".

Clinton provided the names, the AP contacted them and, voila! No need for CA to hand Clinton an embarrassing loss tomorrow.

6. Ridiculous, emotional, non-sensical accusations with NO proof.

Par for the course around here.
