Delegates are delegates. THere are many ways delegates are assigned. Some are chosen in caucuses -- which are pretty undemocratic. Some are chose in primaries -- which are more democratic. Some of the primaries and caucuses are open to all comers; some are closed. I don't really think the open primaries represent the "party" so much. Super delegates are party people through and through and don't represent any narrow constituency or particular candidate but are charged with seeing to the best interest of the party as such. I think it's appropriate that they act like guardians of the best interest of the party as such. So no I don't have any problem whatsoever with super delegates.
