With the talk about how the Super Delegates
"should" vote, I have thought the fairest way would be for the elected delegates to "go with" the popular votes in their own states, rather than to be pressured to go with the national popular vote, simply verifying that.

I know that it is not the intention of the Party to require Super Delegates to vote any way, but......

Does anyone know if someone has done an analysis of the number of elected official Super Delegates in the states won by Senator Clinton and those one by Senator Obama?

With the size of the states, it would seem that she may be a lot closer if all of the Supers went with the popular vote in their own states.

I just don't have the capability of doing that type of research right now, or I would do it myself. I thought if anyone would know, this would be the place to look.

This URL will take you to a news story that gives, in my opinion, a relatively unbiased and informative description of what and how the superdelegates are - the history.

The second below, to another news story, contains a link that breaks out, by state, who they are, and what their role is in the Democratic party.

Sorry, forgot to paste the second URL.

Here you go...
