A little antiquated carryover to keep us peons from doing something stupid. So far Clinton is way ahead in delegates. Surprise!!! (And you thought the caucus was so important):

1. But those will change - superdelegates don't have to keep their commitment

flighty little things that they are - they'll go with whoever ends up with the most delegates in the end.

2. True - but it sort of takes the edge off the whole hype
for first in nation.
Ah what the heck. In 30 days we will all be rooting for (fill in name).
