Bernie spokespersons need to push super delegate issue every time they speak, imo!

The count is being shoved down tv viewers' throats to discourage Bernie voters. Sometimes, the delegate count (including super delegates) is put on the screen, and super delegates are never even mentioned.

They know if Bernie wins the pledged delegates, there will be a revolution if super delegates put Hillary over the top.

1. it's not even the popular vote

it's the pledged delegates. Hopefully the popular vote will coincide for whomever wins otherwise it looks weird.

Didn't Obama win the pledged delegates but not the popular vote in 2008? My memory is fuzzy.

Wasn't on the ballot (per DNC direction candidates were not to compete in MI and FL due to these two states breaking rules setting primary dates too early) Edwards and Obama took the proper steps to remove their names from the ballot not so Cinton
