Bernie Sanders will win at least 13 of the Democratic delegates in New Hampshire and Hillary Clinton will win at least nine. Two delegates haven't yet been allocated.
In the overall race for delegates, Clinton has 394, thanks in large part to endorsements from superdelegates party officials who can support the candidate of their choice.
Sanders has 42 delegates.
The fix is in...
Sanders is mum on this?
Didn’t the Soviet Union used to have elections like this?
From a different source:
There’s no better measure of that establishment than unpledged party leaders and elected official delegates, better known as “superdelegates.”
Among this group, Clinton leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders 359 to 8, according to an AP survey of the group that will help elect the nominee at the Democratic National Convention in July. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley has two people supporting him from this group.
AP was able to reach 80 percent of the 712 superdelegates; 210 delegates remain undecided.

How did the Democrat Party arrange that Hillary would have ALL the Super Delegates before this campaign season even began? This is the kind of election that Kim Jung IL has in North Korea.
Little Debbie?
It will be a fun Democrat convention if Bernie wins 80% of the state races and Hillary is still made the nominee.
1968 will look tame in comparison.
Trump would kick Hillary’s arse, unless of course the flood of illegals get their drivers’ license and their automatic voter registration (for Hillary).
Wow. What's the point of primaries then? A little show to keep the sheeple happy, I guess.
Is that all there is to an ‘election’ today?
Is that all there is?
Most Dems are unaware of the influence of the "super-delegates " in the general election.
..And they will rebell ! at election time .
Check Your Privilege!
Have the ‘under 30’ Bernie supporters gotten wind of this yet?
Gotta love Socialism, win by a coin toss, get your a@@ kicked by 20 points, and you win anyway..mind as well give Martin O Malley some delegates too, after all, its “Fair”
Buy lots of popcorn NOW.
Republicans have superdelegates, too.
“For Republicans, there are generally 3 unpledged delegates in each state, consisting of the state chairman and two RNC committee members.
“A common criticism is that unpledged delegates could potentially swing the results to nominate a candidate that did not receive the majority of votes during the primaries.”
I wonder how many pledged delegates Trump will have to have before the superdelegates are unable to decide the outcome.
Nah, they are too busy playing XBOX and waiting for Bernie to pay for their college and health care to even care
