Just captured from cnn.com:



Okay, so, stop me if I misunderstand, but does this show in the BIG BOLD NUMBERS that Obama is behind Clinton, but in the little teeny numbers that they're neck and neck in the popular vote, but CNN has awarded the "superdelegates" (i.e. the Smoky Back Room vote, delegate votes belonging to important party members not beholden to any popular vote contest) mostly to Clinton? How do media outlets decide how they think these votes are going to go?

This page has a good summary. Note that every outlet has a slightly different count of the number of superdelegates.
