15. Remember, too, not all superdelegates are representatives of the whole state
Members of the US House, of course, could choose to represent their own districts' votes (or their own judgment, as the rules state); in many states, some districts differ greatly from others in political view and makeup. Other delegates might represent the entire nation--such as current and former DNC chairs.

In the end, however, each superdelegate is free to vote their own conscience, taking into consideration of course such things as their district or state, the party's needs and objectives, etc.
