Bernie Sanders Has a Superdelegate Problem
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/bernie-sanders-has-a-superdelegate-problem-20160426There was a stretch of days and weeks in the not-too-distant past during which Bernie Sanders was winning primary after caucus after primary, but he still seemed unable to cut into Hillary Clinton's lead in any meaningful way.
Clinton had vaulted far ahead of the Vermont Senator with strong showings in the first and second Super Tuesdays of the election. That reality, coupled with the fact that most Democratic primaries award delegates on a proportional, rather than a winner-take-all, basis made it tough for Sanders to close the gap between himself and the former secretary of State.
