If the "Super Delegates" can actually vote for whoever, how close is Sanders to Hillary ?

According to a Democrat Party spokesman appearing on FoxNews Tuesday morning,  the media can choose to include the "pledged but free to change their minds" Super Delegate pool.  In 2008,  most of this pool was pledged to Hillary,  but changed their minds at or just before the convention.  

There are approximately 450 Super Delegates included in the 1712 total we often see,  for Hillary.  Sanders has 1004 delegates.  

If we subtract the 450 from Hillary's total,  the Democrat race is much closer than Democrat leadership wants you to believe.  

If we do not count the Super Delegate pool, and they have NOT yet voted,  we are looking at 1262 votes for Hillary versus 1004 for Sanders.  

If Sanders can convince the folks that he is more electable than his opponent,  he could very well win the day,  at the end of the day.  
Just know this:  the Democrat race is much much closer than you have been told.
