In fact, if this trend continues, the superdelegates could end up deciding who the Democratic nominee will be. And that pisses me off.

...only the delegates who came through a vote are obligated to vote for a particular candidate.

In other words, as the campaign progresses, those delegates can switch and they often do over the course of a long campaign.

Not that Bernie doesn't have a big mountain still to climb; he does / we do.
