62. Are superdelegates "pledged" per se, or do they make their own choices?
I think it's fair game to lobby the SDs with whatever arguments a candidate wants to use. I'll argue that that's a far different problem than ex post facto rearranging the rules to allow excluded Michigan & Florida delegates to sit after candidates were told not to campaign in those states.

I just think it's better to stick with the same rules thru the whole process. FWIW I doubt Clinton will try to bump her delegate count over the top with a rule change for seating MI & FLA delegates. But more importantly, I don't think we'll get to April Fool's Day without a locked in nominee. I like the close race, but sooner or later someone breaks out front. Six weeks from now this will all be history.
