Even more amazing that Sanders is leading.

In the polls, yes. But in the delegate count, Hillary already has a sizable lead due to the large number of superdelegates that have already committed to her. Keep in mind that in 2008, Hillary actually got more primary votes than Obama. But it was the superdelegates that put Obama over the top.

It gets rather interesting if Bernie wins a bunch of primaries, and Hillary wins a brokered convention...
