All lost in landslides. The superdelegates know this. Look for them to commit quickly after voting ends June 3rd. If something comes up between then and the convention that shows their pick is fatally flawed, they can always switch their vote. Even elected (committed) delegates are actually free to vote their conscience. They rarely do, because they are selected as delegates by the candidate and based upon their loyalty to the candidate.
But is a candidate were to die, or be incapacitated, or fall victim to serious scandal, the convention is perfectly free to reverse course in the fall.
