Read @ap's reasoning for calling it for Clinton. It sounds an awful lot like... reporting. https://blog.ap.org/announcements/ap-statement-on-hillary-clinton …
Maybe instead they can go report on down-ticket races that they just materially affected? @KevinBuist

I think you've got this wrong. My understanding is that this was based on Puerto Rico numbers. Real voters.

AP never mentions PR in the statement. It was reporting (agree) but largely ego-driven.
-
AND AP explicitly mentions Supers.
@KevinBuist -
Right. Primary total plus communication from supers is what they're reporting here: http://bigstory.ap.org/779b7012af24446289623a968926ec04 …

Assuming the supers who told AP they're for Clinton will suddenly switch is a fantasy. Why wait for that?
-
Bc it is sheer disrespect for voters to send 4 reporters out NOW to write that story. It's pointless & stupid.

Yup. Pretty important in top two primaries. Which is why both Hillary & Bernie trying to put this back in bottle.
