  Democratic Super Delegate Tracker
Who are the Democratic super delegates? These nearly 800 Democratic party leaders and officials, who may vote independently of their state's primary or caucus results, will comprise 20 percent of the total delegate pool at the 2008 nominating convention. In this year's tight race, their flexible votes may determine the Democratic presidential candidate.
