Tell Hillary your troubles, genius.
Your correaltion to 2008 is irrelevant.
The Democratic Party had about 1,800 Superdelegates. The Republicans have about 130. When Obama won more states and caucuses despite a virutal tie in the popular vote, they fled Hillary for Obama. And the GOP Superdelegates would do the same thing for Romney if his lead and wins are still significant.
As for contests, Hillary got delegates, Obama just won more, especially through the Caucuses where Team Clinton wasn’t anywhere near as organized late in the game because they thought the nomination would be sewn up early.
And lastly (but most importantly), Hillary released her delegates on the convention floor allowing them to vote for Obama.
