Is it true, that all the Democratic "Super Delegates" haven't been selected yet?

What were they thinking? How can they ever fairly hand them out now? I thought the Obama/Hillary civil war was bad here, it'll be 10x worse picking the remaining Super Delegates.

1. 311 of 796 have declared.

They will hold a lot of power if it stays this tight.

5. I don't mean have they selected a candidate, I meant that the actual Super Delegate hasn't

been selected.

2. What do you mean by "picking"? The superdelegates decide for themselves who to vote for. n/t

3. The delegates themselves have been identified, however...

... they are not necessarily committed to any particular candidate. Some have made a verbal commitment, but that commitment is not binding.

4. They aren't "picked" per se, they are individual people

Governors, senators, etc. Each superdelegate decides for him/herself who they are going to support.

7. I guess I'm not communicating well today.

1. The Super Delegate is slected by the party.
2. The Super Delegate selects a candidate to support.

I am referring to something I read were the party has not selected all of the Super Delegate's yet.

9. Thanks, the answer was here...

"In addition to the above superdelegates, there are 76 additional unpledged add-ons that will be picked at the various state conventions."

I think its crazy that these wouldn't be identified prior to the start of the election. That's going to be a huge fight.
