Bernie and Super Delegates

[Blue Meany]

As we all know, Hillary has done much better at getting super delegates, and support from the Democratic establishment that Bernie. I have been crunching some of the numbers and have concluded that much of this has to do with funding for super delegates who are also candidates for office. For the delegates in that category, she has committments from 80%-85% of them.

But for those who are not running for office--DNC members and DPLs (Distinguished Party Leaders) she has 57% and 50% respectively. Where Bernie has done best is with members of the House of Representatives (15.6%) and DNC members (11.5%). But the largest body of uncommitted delegates are DNC members (156).

I think the campaign should focus on persuading uncommitted DNC members right now, because that is the lowest hanging fruit and could help with momentum over the next few primaries.
