I also thought that, when superdelegates aren't considered, Sanders would likely be the nominee. Are the super delegates not a big reason why she's ahead right now?
As it stands, Clinton has 1716 and sanders 1433 pledged delegates, which is roughly in line with the 56% of the vote she's won. If anything, sanders is slightly over represented in the delegate count, as he's won 42% of the vote (or thereabouts) and has 46% of delegates. Would we in the US really benefit from having someone who loses the popular vote by several million be the nominee? I don't think we would. Super delegates will only come into play if they switch their support to sanders.
