What Would a Superdelegate Do?

An article from the Associated Press via the Sacramento Bee which takes a look at the delegate math and the role that superdelegates will likely play in deciding the Democratic presidential nominee:

Hillary Rodham Clinton won't catch Barack Obama in the race for Democratic delegates chosen in primaries and caucuses, even if she wins every remaining contest.

But Obama cannot win the nomination with just his pledged primary and caucus delegates either, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.

That sets the stage for a pitched battle for support among "superdelegates," the party and elected officials who automatically attend the convention and can support whomever they choose.
