In a search I see that Super Delegates have been mentioned in the context of other subjects but not as a subject in itself.
It seems to me there has been something different about current national elections than what I remembered seeing as a boy. I remember seeing adults getting way into the process of each parties run up to the nomination, hats, banners, lots of effort. Indeed that turns out to be the case, changes began in the nomination process back in 1968 and continued into the early 70's to create the system we now employ.
Here is a good explanation of the changes made. So when we complain about ignorant voters, why we face the candidates we do today or how 0 gamed the system there are some answers. I would be interested in learning more and knowing others opinions on the subject.

From "Colorado Matters"

Note: The Audio portion has more content.

It relates to the " Common Core" joke about Fl's math.
