At least one has already said he will.
But another is holding online polls, so I'm hoping Patrick Leahy is an exception.
A decisive Sanders win? I agree, they won't overturn that. But if Sanders wins within a certain margin, they can and will overrule the people and go with who they want.

I suspect that the democratic party would be badly hurt by such a move.A decisive Sanders win? I agree, they won't overturn that. But if Sanders wins within a certain margin, they can and will overrule the people and go with who they want.
Here's the CNN interview with her Majesty Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.
Well, there you go, right out of the horse's mouth:
CNN Anchor:
"Clinton lost to Sanders by 22% points, the largest percentage point victory in a contested Democratic primary since John F. Kennedy, but it looks as though Clinton and Sanders are leaving [New Hampshire] with the same number of delegates in their pockets because Clinton has the support of New Hampshire's 'superdelegates,' these Party insiders. What do you tell voters, who're new to the primary process who says [that] this makes them feel like it's all rigged?"
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz:
"Well, let me just make sure that I can clarify exactly what was available [to Sanders and Clinton in the New Hampshire primary]. The unpledged delegates are a separate category; the only thing available on the ballot in a primary or caucus is the pledged delegates --those that are tied to [the voters' choices]. Unpledged [super]delegates exist, really, to make sure that Party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists. [Cue irrelevant buzzwords.]"
Translation, "I will reinforce to them that, yes, I am trying to rig this." As far as I'm concerned, the Democratic Establishment is earning and working towards a serious collapse in their authority and power. #TimCanova2016 #FeeltheBern
PS: I cleaned up her language, because she was so obfuscatory during the interview discussion, I think so people would stop listening to the unconscionable, anti-democratic horse**** that was spewing out of her mouth.
Hey Bernie, how do you like redistribution of delegates?
good subject to bring up. Superdelegates are there to keep the status quo establishment types in power. it undermines what the voting process should be about.
Republicans this year have 103 superdelegates, Democrats have 712. While I'm glad it plays a much smaller role for republicans they both should get rid of them.
IIRC, superdelegates were added in 1984 to reduce the possibility that an election disaster (McGovern) or a governing disaster (Carter) would get the nomination. As in Animal Farm, some animals are more equal than others.

Actually, unless I completely misunderstand things, this article indicates that the Republican superdelegates, at least, are not free to vote for whomever they wish: Can GOP 'superdelegates' stop Trump? | Washington Examiner
I think you're underestimating how dirty Clinton's machine is and how depraved DWS is.
They're probably killing off Sanders delegates as we speak.

Nahh. Hillary's people would just kill Sanders directly.
