We have a list of superdelegates to the 2008 Democratic Convention who have officially endorsed a candidate but who is left? Who hasn't made an official endorsement?
Now that the primaries have started we will probably see a wave of endorsements. Let's take a look at which Democratic superdelegates haven't endorsed a candidate yet. Along with our superdelegate list we will be updating this list as new endorsements are made.
This will be an ongoing work in progress so check back often for updates.
Superdelegates highlighted in red are from Michigan or Florida and do not count toward the nomination at this time.
There is no *definitive* webpage that can give you the "accurate" count of delegates, but 2008 demconwatch has been watching the delegate + "superdelagate" counts as closely as they can track.
Superdelegates suck. They're ~ 800 dem big shots that get to vote for whomever they like. And since they're *actual* delegates the votes they cast count slightly more than ours.

In other words, the reason we no longer "need" an electoral college is that the parties have built their own internal means of control...
