I'm pissed at the AP--they're undercutting/jumping Clinton's victory rally and speech [View all]

tomorrow.

It's also going to feed a lot of negative perceptions (won based on backroom rigging rather than voting), since they're basing it off of superdelegates who haven't even disclosed their intentions in public yet.

the AP has been calling them up and asking them if they're committed and to whom, and apparently quite a few blabbed.

I imagine Brooklyn will disclaim this.
