Art Torres is "the super of the supers!"

CDP Chair Art Torres has not one superdelegate vote, but 6. That's because he gets to choose five unpledged delegates for the DNC Convention in August. From the Chronicle:

Consider Art Torres, chairman of the California Democratic Party. He remains uncommitted, yet he could be the most powerful superdelegate of all. Torres gets to name five additional superdelegates, giving him control over six votes at the national convention this summer.

"I am the super of supers!" Torres proclaims with a laugh.

He and other state party chairmen will appoint most of the additional 76, known in Democratic ranks as "unpledged add-ons."
