Superdelegates=An elitist system designed by party insiders

So apparently in 1984 superdelegates were created "to restore some of the power over the nomination process to party insiders..." according to the NYTimes. Does anyone else see a problem with this? As the election gets closer and closer between Clinton and Obama, there is more and more of a chance that superdelegates will be deciding this race. Basically, these 796 people get to choose who wins in the event that neither of the candidates get enough delicates. Seriously? How is this democracy?

At least Obama has stated, "My strong belief is that if we end up with the most states and the most pledged delegates from the most voters in the country, that it would be problematic for the political insiders to overturn the judgment of the voters."

Clinton, according to the Times, "disputed Mr. Obama’s interpretation of how superdelegates should make their decision, arguing, as her aides have in conversations with superdelegates, that they should make an independent decision based on who they thought would be the strongest candidate and president."

Now Obama hasn't come out and said he would support Clinton if she had the most delegates at the end, but his response seems to lean that way a bit more. Clinton, on the other hand, brazenly declares that even if Obama has more delgates, it is still ok for superdelegates to vote for her. Again, SERIOUSLY? Another reason why I'm happy to be supporting Obama.
