I mean, IN THE EVENT that it becomes necessary for super delegates to go against the will of the voters of their district and state, they have that power. By assigning them to their state, they simply become another delegate, but a delegate with name recognition. Super delegates also help provide momentum or help campaign in states be endorsing candidates.
By removing the "super" part, they become just another delegate. I think they way the system is now kind of works. Also, just another thing to throw out there. It helps those candidates who win the bigger states, like Clinton, over those like Obama, who win the smaller ones with less SDs. The super delegates allow a sort of balance, because it's expected that they'll pretty much go 50/50 or somewhere near that.
