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.

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

Clinton should hope that the networks don't follow suit. Clinching the nomination via super delegates is bad optics for her. It looks a lot better for her to clinch by winning pledged delegates from the voters.

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

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

Awesome! But I'll wait until the polls close tomorrow and Leslie Blitzer makes the call to celebrate.

Wonder what the campaign's response will be.

Also, now begins the speculation as to how Clinton and the party are going to accommodate Bernie and his supporters.

Ahahahaha. Let's wait a bit on that, okay?

NBC declares Clinton nominee!

It's so sweet that it was Chris Hayes who had to make the announcement.

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

Google uses AP.

CNN just edited their count from 2357 to 2367. We'll see if they go all the way.

NYT sticking at 2,360


Also Kerry would be an awful nominee.

A) He was a bad candidate who couldn't take down an unpopular Bush
B) The optics of getting it that way...
C) Biden and Bernie (gasp) would be better

Obvious questions:

1. Why wouldn't this have been called last night after the PR primary?
2. What "survey" is the AP referring to?  Did a bunch of supers declare tonight?

Huh?

His show is on right now, and he's been consistently one of the most pro-Sanders people on MSNBC. I guess I should have made it clear I was talking about MSNBC in terms of the announcement, not NBC proper although that's where the call came from.
