That is one of the only Seinfeld episodes that I find truly funny. The other great one for me is where Kramer hits the golf ball into the whale's blowhole.

Be patient till the last.
But WHAT ARE "Super Delegates"? Are they like our Senators - old peeps who were owed political favours so they get a spot in the Senate and get to veto things and piss folks off cos they were not elected?
Like that?
Like that?

Most of us Yanks didn't know what they were until a couple of months ago, even though they've apparently been around for years. And even now, the word is still semi-meaningless the way it is thrown around news stories with no explanation.

ok, did some search engining:
does this sound about right?
"The Democratic Party established this system in part in response to the nomination of George McGovern in 1972. McGovern took only one state and had only 37.5 percent of the popular vote. Then in 1976, Jimmy Carter was a dark-horse candidate with little national experience. Super-delegates were implemented in 1984.
Super-delegates are designed to act as a check on ideologically extreme or inexperienced candidates. It also gives power to people who have a vested interested in party policies: elected leaders. Because the primary and caucus voters do not have to be active members of the party (in New Hampshire they can sign up and sign out going-and-coming at the polls), the super-delegate system has been called a safety-value.
It has been 30 years since the Democratic Party had a cliffhanger going into the Convention. If there is no clear winner after state primaries and caucuses, then the super-delegates -- who are bound only by their consciences -- will decide the nominee".
sheesh. politics.

Look, there are plenty of things I dislike about the Republican Party. Many of the social policies are way too intrusive. We don't need a law against gay marriage, we need the government (state and federal) to just stay the hell out of our homes.
That being said...one of the things I like about the Republican Party is that once a candidate is seen to be the front-runner for the nomination, the party gets out of its own way and lets the front-runner become the presumtive nominee.
