Heck, how many are American?

I asked the same question before I realized it's just rigged anyway. But the answer is 30 pecent black.

[Fly-Boi]

No exact number, but keep in mind many of the Super Delegates are or at one time elected officials: Governors, State Senators, Federal Senators, Mayors, Congressmen etc...

Does it matter...why put people in groups of race.....D@mn political correctness. The word American works just fine. The super dupers think that know better than the average American....so I would not put too much hope in the super dupers b/c they don't care what you think!!!!!


That is why Republicans do not have super dupers.....Republicans and Conservatives win when they reach the magic number!!!!!

[Ford Prefect]

Super Delegates are mostly elected official like governors, senators and representatives...and in the Democratic party many more are black than in the Republican party

I do not see why this is a concern to anyone. Though it seems that black voters seem to be voting on the basis of race and not qualification, the number of black superdelegates has no effect on the overall election. Black Americans only make up about 13% of the total population of the country, so, compared to white and latino voters, both of which have much larger national populations, blacks are not as powerful a voting block to control the outcome of an election as the news would make you believe.

As many as your heart desires. I give my controll over to the black people. May they enjoy it. ALL HAIL AFRICA!

Not many. The fat cats in the party have seen to that.
