1. Clinton will get all the endorsements

You might as well put 600 next to her name and call it the Final Update, no surprises here. No one else will get endorsements since the entire establishment is putting all their eggs in her basket and have since Obama was elected.

3. These r superdelegates supporting HRC right now. PBO peeps are patient. We tend to focus on

the long game. Gotta be patient.

2. I get the impression Sanders isn't real popular with elected Dems

Will be a problem if he wins the nom.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. Heh. Figures.

Pity you chosen one isn't popular with a growing number of voters.

[wyldwolf]

5. he'll need support at the state level from electids and other powerbrokers

“He screams and hollers, but he is all alone.”
- Rep. Joe Moakley (D-Mass.)

“Bernie alienates his natural allies. His holier-than-thou attitude—saying in a very loud voice he is smarter than everyone else and purer than everyone else—really undercuts his effectiveness.”
- Rep. Barney Frank

(that second quote sounds like Sandernistas on DU! )

6. many of whom aren't particularly enthused about her either

[wyldwolf]

7. enthused enough to endorse her over him

[Admiral Loinpresser]

14. Her power is a sandcastle.

Now that she's had to apologize, her poll decline may actually accelerate further.

[wyldwolf]

16. Or...

More likely, her poll numbers may go up.

[DCBob]

8. Maybe Bernie not being a Democrat might have something to do with this.

[FloridaBlues]

9. You think maybe because he has talked bad about the party he needs

you can't be cranky towards the party you need the most to help organize for gotv activities and expect support.

[Number23]

10. Who the hell is endorsing Biden?? Biden appears to be the only genuine threat to Hillary right now

I could definitely see myself voting for him.

It would be good if you could put your mouse over the little dots and see the names of the people that endorsed. I'd really like to know who's endorsed Biden.

11. Tell me again how many votes that works out to?

[rainbow fish]

13. Exactly zero as of right now.

Endorsements are not votes.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

15. Didn't she look as strong

in endorsements right about now in the 2008 cycle? She is not a closer. She's unelectable and growing more so every day.

[SouthernProgressive]

12. Biden is a solid second damn near across the board. Nt
