Superdelegates are high level Democratic Party officials, senators, congressmen, etc that are free to vote for whomever they choose to.

Clinton is significantly ahead in that category because she has been
around Washington longer than Obama.

A superdelegate does not have to reveal who they are supporting (although many do) and they also can change their mind at any point and support a different candidate.

There was an article today saying that some of Clinton's superdelegates are on the brink of changing their mind due to Obama's recent surge.
