If the penalties imposed on Florida and Michigan stand, there will be 796 unpledged delegate votes cast at the Democratic National Convention in August. These delegates, not bound by any state elections, are commonly called superdelegates and include all of the members of the Democratic National Committee and elected officials like members of Congress and governors.
In an indication of where Democratic Party leaders are leaning, the telephone survey of the party’s superdelegates found about one-third of them undecided, 25 percent favoring Mrs. Clinton and about 10 percent supporting Mr. Obama. In an earlier survey completed by The Times and CBS News in November, more of the party leaders were undecided, though they supported Mrs. Clinton over Mr. Obama then as well".
