Super delegates equals sectionalism

In this election year I have several thoughts regarding super delegates.

A super delegate is a congressman or a governor that represents a given region of the country. Yesterday I listened to an interview with Congressman Cleaver a member of Black Caucus of America. He decided in advance to vote for Hilary Clinton in spite of the fact that his home district voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama. This shows sectionalism at its worst. Cleaver is close friends with Clinton. Would he deny Barack Obama's entire campaign a chance to win if it came down to a superdelegate showdown vote? This seems a little absurd to me.
