to go against the will of the populace. Endorse, fine, but superdelegates should not be voting for a specific candidate, but simply for whichever candidate obtains a plurality of the vote, if a majority of the vote is not obtained by any given candidate. They should be reinforcing the will of the people, not voting strategically to support their preferred candidates.
