A Super Delegate question

[sniffa]

What happens to the Super Delegates who backed candidates that either dropped out, or suspended their campaign? Are they free to move for each or one and not the other?

Also, have any of those Super Delegates already switched?

1. i think they can change as many times as they want.

2. I think that they have always been free to do what they want.

I also heard that the Edwards delegates are also free to switch, is this true too?

something new, or have they always had them.

4. they are free to change their minds as often as they wish

they are free agents

Only a few have switched, all from Hilarity to Obama.

5. They are summarily shot

No, wait. Those were the rules of the 1924 Bolshevik party convention. I think Superdelegates are always free to do whatever the fuck they want.
