Role of Superdelegates

How do you feel about limiting or eliminating the role of Unpledged/Super Delegates in future Presidential nomination processes? I am especially concerned about those delegates who have no constituency, and thus were chosen by an insider process with little transparency to the general public.

    The problem is not the role of the superdelegates (most of whom are elected officials who represent voting constituencies); the problem is the distribution of pledged delegates, which should more strongly reward the winner of the popular vote (50%+) in a state.

    I don't have a problem with the distribution of pledged delegates. I have a problem with unelected party insiders on a power trip as regards the convention and trying to tamp down the activist base. Being elected at one time or another only offers the tiniest amount of accountability for their actions.
