Superdelegates help Clinton expand her lead despite NH loss | 18 Feb 2016 | Since [Bernie Sanders's big win in New Hampshire], Hillary Clinton has picked up endorsements from 87 more superdelegates to the Democratic National Convention, dwarfing Sanders's gain from the New Hampshire primary, according to a new Associated Press survey.

But when superdelegates are included, Clinton leads 481-55, according to the AP count. It's essentially a parallel election that underscores Clinton's lopsided support from the Democratic establishment.
