(11,945 posts)so to call the nomination on June 7 would be a lie on their part. It means they think they can second guess the superdelegates' decisions, and they can't.
The slices on the chart are slightly off because out of 2383 total pledged delegates, Hillary has 1771 and Bernie has 1487 (284 fewer than Hill). That's pretty close.
This OP explains it: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512053905
Can we protest this beforehand to discourage any premature declarations on the part of the corporate media?

(62 posts)I live in CA and will be voting after work on June 7. NOTHING will stop me from voting for Bernie. It will be one of the most memorable days of my political life!
Don't forget that many people have already voted by absentee ballot.
Also as a Californian I have experienced this East coast bias before and it did not stop me from exercising my right and responsibility to vote. Besides, there is the open senate race and judges and ballot measures to turn out for.
I urge my fellow Californians to show the pundits just how relevant they are to us.
PS I would love for CA to put Bernie over the top and prove all of those know-it-alls WRONG!!!
