Superdelegates

I’ve been hearing more and more complaints about the undemocratic nature of the "superdelegates" in the Democrat Primary. I think it was Gov. Rendell most recently. I had assumed that the whole process must have been a result of Chicago in 1968. Nope.

It was Kennedy/Carter in 1980. Granted that Geraldine A. Ferraro has a bias here as she admits but for the history of the superdelegates in brief, I haven’t seen anything better than this NYT piece.
