Indeed. In fact they are mostly elected officials who would have a real problem 
if the people who voted for Sanders by a huge margin decided to vote against 
them in local elections. I don't believe for a second that if the margins were 
clearly favoring Sanders they would move against him.

But more to the point, because all this is just speculation anyway as wrote 
Carrol, what you have written in your post is *not* a demonstration that 
superdelegates would eventually vote against Sanders, but only that the 
Democrat establishment was able to keep the consensus in favor of Humphrey when 
the vote could easily be represented as favoring him.

*If* Sanders goes on winning states the narrative is bound to change. It is 
gambling in its purest form, and superdelegates know that too.
