32. Super delegates are not selected by the voters in the primary.
And many of them aren't elected publicly, but are DNC Party leaders.

I like rug's idea the best. Include them in the process, but require them to have been selected as pledged delegates in the primary. It's the back room wheeling and dealing that turns people off of the election process. If they can see up front that it was a fair contest, they'll be much happier about the outcome. At a time when we're trying to bring out the vote, this sends the wrong message to new voters, that their vote doesn't really count after all.
