Superdelegates: An Assessment
The "Superdelegates Transparency Project," has launched this widget. It allows readers to follow, day by day, the attitude of the so-called Superdelegates, that is the delegates who will go to the Democratic national Convention in Denver (CO) not because they were elected by a caucus or a primary election, but because they are (or have been) leaders of the party at various levels (Governors, members of the DNC etc.). According to the last calculations, Clinton has been endorsed by 249 Superdelegates, Obama by 211 ones, while 260 are still uncommitted and 75 more have not yet been nominated.
