Corrected to MT.
And superdelegates change their preference, as they did in 2008, so there is no reason to include their numbers in media graphs until their vote is cast at the convention.

Well yes "media graphs" are part of the problem but we have social media now so any "super" who wants to make her choice known to the public can do that without help from traditional media outlets. The Democrats really should impose this silence on themselves. I can see exempting e.g. governors from the gag, but others who are only "super" by dint of their positions as associate assistants to state committeepersons should just be quiet until the voters are done speaking.
I already voted for Sanders in Missouri, over two months ago. I hope that no Bernie supporters in this state thought they could wait until now, because he only lost by 1500 out of 620k votes cast.
I do agree with you that at this point Trump is certain to beat Clinton by wide margins in the upcoming general election. She will attempt the same tactics that already failed for the Republicans. They'll fail for her too. I suppose I'll vote for Gary Johnson again. He might have more of a chance this time around, but mostly I don't want to waste a vote on the status quo. (Don't kid yourselves, Trumpets, Comb-over Donnie is as inside as inside gets.)
"Super"-delegates are kind of awful, but they would be less awful if they didn't declare their preferences until after the final state primary.
