Why Bernie Sanders may not have won Colorado after all
Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton by a 19-point margin in Colorado caucus straw polls Tuesday night, but the delegate count is starting to tell a different story.
Clinton now looks likely to tie the Vermont senator 38-38 in the state’s delegate count, according to projections from The Denver Post, Bloomberg Politics and The Associated Press. That includes a potential 38-28 split in Sanders’ favor in projections based on Tuesday’s straw poll results, plus 10 superdelegates (out of 12) who have committed to Clinton, the former secretary of state.
Though Colorado’s superdelegates can change their allegiances — and two so far have not committed to either candidate — Clinton solidified her status as the front-runner with several big wins on Super Tuesday.
