5. California is important for one big reason

If Clinton wins California, she will cinch the election without having to use any superdelegates. The race is completely over, and no lobbying will change it (aside from candidates leaving for other reasons).

If Sanders wins California (and a couple other random states), then it will mean that neither candidate has the minimum delegates to automatically win, and the primaries get decided by superdelegates.

Like groundhog day, it also means another another 6 weeks of winter because superdelegates don't cast their votes until the convention.
