Republican "superdelegates"?

You are indeed quite correct. Both parties have superdelegates, it's just that the Democratic superdelegates are likely to have more influence on the nomination than the Republican superdelegates. According to CNN there are 29 superdelegates so far allocated to candidates

The GOP does have about 123 unpledged, uncommitted delegates that are equivalent to the Superdelegates in the Democratic party.

The difference?

- Superdelegate is a term specifically used within the Democratic party.

- There are far, far fewer of these votes in the GOP, and they're much less likely to influence the final result.

The republicans do have super delgates also. The difference is that they are required to vote for the same candidate that their congressional district voted for. In other words they vote as the people vote. The democrat super delegates have far more percentage of the delegates (about 40%) and they can vote for anyone they want. They put this rule into place because they don;t trust the people and want to be able to block their vote if they feel they voted for the wrong candidate. This is just another way of the democrats acting like socialists. They believe in big government and this is a great example of big government at work. The republicans are a party of the people and believe that their vote should count and the government should stay out of elections.

There are no Republican superdelegates. This is only a Democrat thing.

Democrats only it' is a vast right wing conspiracy, came up after slick willy trashed obama, I heard on the drive by media it was actually contrived by Al sharpton and john Conyers to protect the kid, now it's possible it could backfire what with bill pimping Chelsea
