New Hampshire SuperDelegates

Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire democratic primary, by 60% to 38% of the popular vote. So Sanders won 15 delegates, while Clinton won 9. But Clinton also won the support of all 6 "superdelegates", meaning for electoral purposes she tied with Sanders, 15 to 15.

SuperDelegates where introduced into the party to give party leadership more of a role in selection of candidates. But is this democratic or elitist? The Republican party also has superdelegates. What can we do if we don't like it? Nothing. Bustle.com has a good summary of the situation, and as they say:

The GOP and the Democratic Party are non-governmental organizations, and so they can basically set whatever rules they’d like regarding delegates and how they’re distributed. - bustle.com

The reply to that argument, is that the primary are paid for with taxpayer money, to the tune of 400 million dollars. It seems that big parties get to have their cake and eat it too, at taxpayer expense.
