I've heard there are rules that you have to be a registered as much as a few months with a party in advance for some of these... seems like a poor system.

Not really. A lot of non-Democrats are angry with the Democratic establishment. But actual registered Democrats want to continue the Obama years at over a 70% clip. This is why Bernie won't be able to get the margins he needs to close the delegate gap, he has high disdain for the Democratic Party and hasn't embraced Obama at all.
So his numbers are flying outside the Dems base, but predictably he is struggling big time with the base. Also why he has no shot of getting the super delegates to back him since he's, well, a DINO in this case. He's only using the name Democrat because, ironically, he needs to use the establishment's in place infrastructure to have any chance of ever winning a general election.
