Huh, odd. The AP must have drilled down hard on the uncommitted supers in order to break this news, since I can't imagine this was orchestrated by the Clinton campaign.

I'm still treating tomorrow, when all the networks call it, as the official celebration day. This is too anticlimactic for me. Tongue

I guess AP just really wanted her to win.

Or they wanted all the attention by being the only ones to declare it early...

Congrats Clinton!

Keep in mind that the CNN, AP, and MSNBC super delegate surveys are each completely separate organizations that aren't connected with each other at all, so this may be just an AP-Only call for tonight for ratings reasons - TV Networks want people to watch special coverage of the 6/7 results.

This. Sanders, Kerry, and Biden are probably waiting for an FBI indictment. If no indictment, she's the nominee.

Kerry? Really?

Kerry is battle tested. He ran in 2004, almost won. He could do better than he did in 2004.

They waited until everyone voted in 2008. Hillary can't win a majority of the pledged delegates without California. The superdelegates haven't voted yet and can change their mind at any moment. Such disrespect to those of us voting tomorrow. Scum.

They didn't wait in 2008. Hillary had a lot more superdelegate support in 2008 than Bernie does now, so it had to go all the way until the end.

Obama waited until the last state to announce that he had enough with superdelegates. He didn't need to wait to announce.

Except Hillary didn't announce this, the AP did. If you can't tell, she wanted to declare victory tomorrow.
