The usually pedantic WaPo editorialist Ruth Marcus answers all my questions from yesterday about the superdelegates.

The key point: "In short, the Democratic Party has come up with a characteristically muddled method of choosing presidential nominees, with rules that are simultaneously overly and inadequately democratic."

Now it's up to her congressional beat colleagues to survey the Hill superdelegates and see if they will be choosing the nominee their state or congressional delegation voted for, or if they are going to make their selection as party poo-bahs independent from what their constituents wanted.
