Does Iowa have Super Delegates?
If so, do all the states have Super Delegates who will go to the Democratic Convention?

2. I believe every senator and congressperson
is a super delegate and then there are others who are too.

3. Yes, Iowa has 12 Superdelegates out of 57 total delegates.
My understanding is that all superdelegates go to the convention, just like regular delegates - there just aren't nearly as many superdelegates.

4. All states do
mainly elected officials and other "distinguished" Democrats. Four years ago Walter Mondale was one of Minnesota's "super" delegates.

The status quo must be protected.
