That's the pledged delegate lead. Sanders 1151, Clinton 1428
With the bought and paid for Super Delegates, Sanders 1189, Clinton 1930
What does not make sense to me is that if these Super Delegates have the votes to look after the 'good of the party' at the nominating convention, why do they declare allegiance before the elections? Maybe because they go to the highest bidder.
