In case anyone thinks being an SD is easy...
From the DELEGATE TRACKING SITE demconwatch

Garry Shay, DNC Member from California, is one of a number of superdelegates who are sticking with their endorsements of Sen. Clinton, but dropping hints that things might change in the future. Here's what he first told us:

I am committed to Clinton, at this point.

But then he sent us a long description of what process he used to make his decision (he sends this to anybody who asks), and its worth including in its entirety:

For the first time since they were conceived, the votes of so-called "super-delegates" may actually matter with regard to the nomination of the Democratic Party candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States. This is a decision that we are all weighing carefully.


(snip)

The question I pose is not who super-delegates should vote for, but rather how they should come to their decision.

The question is not whether or not they should exist, because the fact is, they do. As my torts professor once said, in his thick German accent, if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a Volkswagen, but she doesn't. What ever you think of the system itself, it is the reality we work in at this time.
