Will Superdelegates decide who will become the next President?

Some think so. Mathematically, with the primary race so close there is a possibility that it will come down to the superdelegates. Kind of undermines the democratic process in my opinion, so for those of you who haven't voted yet, please do so. Your vote absolutely counts since delegates are awarded by ratio not "winner takes all".

So what is a superdelegate?

With such a close race, it may be helpful to contact the superdelegate from your area and petition them to vote for the candidate of your choice by email, mail, phone or in person.

You can find a list of superdelgates who have not yet endorsed a candidate here:
