Arizona? Should Raul Grijalva have to pledge to support Clinton?
Nevada? Should Erin Bilbray have to pledge to support Clinton?

Those states weren't "ties."

And I didn't see any sitting Senators on the list. Most were party big wigs.

Is it your understanding that all sitting senators are superdels?

I was surprised to see that there were no elected politicians on the Iowa super delegate list.

They will have to answer to their constituents if they are unhappy with that vote. However "Profiles In Courage" comes to mind.
