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?

Personally, I'd understand it faster if you'd quit speaking Greek.
I think I kind of get it. So when y'all go out and vote for the new President, you're actually voting for electors. The electors may or may not be required to vote as they've previously pledged, depending on what state they're in, but they always do by convention. Superdelegates are electors as well, but are chosen by parties instead of popular vote? Is that right?
