The Democratic party instituted superdelegates in order to prevent upstarts like George McGovern  and Ted Kennedy from winning the nomination (Jimmy Carter's role in this is a bit funny, actually, since he won in '76 as an upstart, or at least a fresh face, but wanted to deny Kennedy a chance to beat him in the primaries).  The votes of superdelegates haven't meant a thing since this system was instituted.

It would be ironic indeed if Clinton tried to flip the result off of the votes of superdelegates.  The Clintons worked for McGovern.  I'd put such an outcome in the "How stupid is the Democratic party" file, because the net result, inevitably, would be accusations of bossism and disillusionment among the next generation of voters.

Since they haven't done anything yet there is no reason to bash them.  The only way they'd matter, though, is if they backed the loser of the competitive race in large numbers and flipped the result.  Problematic?  Of course.
