Right. If he's winning by a decent margin on regular delegates, the super delegates will go along. But if it's super close, they'll have to decide it and there will be uproar from the Bernie crowd.
Although the hand wringing about it is kind of funny, as the point of super delegates is to protect the party (none of this is democracy, btw) from outside influences. Like, perhaps, a candidate who spent years not being a member of the party and signing up solely for the purposes of running for president.
