Jumping the Gun

On Monday night, before Tuesday's primary polls opened, the Associated Press called the Democratic presidential nomination in favor of Hillary Clinton. The AP based its decision on its survey of democratic superdelegates, whose votes, unlike those of pledged delegates, won't be counted until the Democratic National Convention in late July. Bob talks with Poynter's Bill Mitchell, who argues that counting superdelegates before the Democratic National Convention is speculative, and that rather than drawing conclusions before votes are cast, journalists should "stick to what they know."
