They only have 1 vote, but they're appointed by the state parties and not elected out of the rank-and-file. Generally, but not always.
Basically, they're governors and bigwigs. Their votes aren't more or less valuable when counted, but since they're going to be making the decisions, the focus on them is brighter than usual. Basically, if you see someone endorsing someone else, that might be the sign of a superdelegate (or not).
Confused enough yet?
