Excellent point. And what's up w/ these R superdelegates? Were there R superdelegates in 2008? I don't recall any. (I hate the idea of superdelegates.)
My recollection is that there were Republican superdelegates in 2008; this issue was covered by the media when the superdelegates ended up making the decision on whether Clinton or Obama would be the Democratic Party's nominee. The statement four years ago was that both parties have superdelegates, but the Republicans don't have as many.
Personally I don't have a problem with superdelegates. They serve a purpose in a close race that is drawn out for an extended period.
