LOS ANGELES (AP) — While Sen. Bernie Sanders mined the motherlode of delegates from California on Super Tuesday, it wasn't nearly enough and isn't getting counted fast enough to counter former Vice President Joe Biden's huge night. It became an issue of numbers and timing. After years of being a late season player in presidential primary politics, California joined the Super Tuesday crowd, and its 415 delegates were the biggest haul on the biggest night. But even though Sanders' victory in California was declared quickly, i...
