The GOP has super delegates too....
They don't vote on the GOP side, I think they are just symbolic.

According to this MSNBC article, at the time it was written (2007), the Democratic superdelegates were 40% of the total. And many are not elected officials (like former Presidents), and therefore they are not accountable to the public, and therefore they have no business determining who will represent us. Maybe it's different now? Amazing to me.
