3. 40+ more SD's have pledged support for Clinton than have Obama.
It'll all come out in the wash at the end but with her having those 40+ extra padding her number it mitigates the actual pledged delegate lead. By 40+.

Now, either the SD's are there to make sure everything goes smoothly at the end, or they're there to put a thumb on the scale.

You decide.

4. They are there to make an independent decision
and they are, themselves, elected.

9. Anyone notice how the Obama campaign dropped the whole Supes should reflect the will of the voter BS
Ya know when it was pointed out that Kennedy and Kerry should switch their vote to Clinton to reflect their constituents.
