1. I think, like many of the states, the uber-delegates will be near 50/50

2. Neither. They'll vote according to which candidate offers them the most spoils. n/t

4. My thoughts, too -- I voted "polls".
I am so IMPRESSED by Barbara Boxer's approach. It's almost disconcerting hearing a politician say s/he will do what their constituents indicate they want.

I hope other SD's are listening and thinking that might be a good approach, too.

5. not according to their state, but to their constituency
Superdelegates often do just that - vote the way their constituency voted.

It's the smart move for an elected official. But it's not the state. It might be their congressional district or county.

6. These super-delegates are supposed to be our elected officials.
Does anyone have a list of who they are? It seems to me that each of us should be letting our SDs know what we want. They are SUPPOSED to answer to us. For instance who is a super-delegate from Minnesota?
