No, the Republican Party's does not give elected officials and party leaders an automatic vote in the presidential primary process; however, politicians and party leaders can be elected to be delegates(pledged or otherwise).
State delegates are three per congressional district. This does not include so-called "super delegates"
Only one...they are only called super delegates because they are famous (actors, politicians etc.)...the fact that they are called "Super Delegates" in no way denotes that they are more intelligent, qualified or otherwise significant.

In the United States, Super Tuesday, in general, refers to the Tuesday in February or March of a presidential election year when the greatest number of states hold primary elections to select delegates to national conventions at which each party's presidential candidates are officially nominated. More delegates can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single day of the primary calendar, and, accordingly, candidates seeking the presidency traditionally must do well on this day to secure their party's nomination. In 2008, Super Tuesday was February 5; 24 states held primaries or caucuses on this date, with 52% of all pledged Democratic Party delegates and 41% of the total Republican Party delegates at stake.[1] The 2012 Super Tuesday will be March 6, 2012.[2]Since Super Tuesday primaries are held in a large number of states from geographically and socially diverse regions of the country, Super Tuesday typically represents a presidential candidate's first test of national electability. Convincing wins in Super Tuesday primaries have usually propelled candidates to their party's nomination. The particular states holding primaries on Super Tuesday have varied from year to year.
As a noun: Many delegates were at the conference. As a verb: He always delegates the tasks to the people that are best able to do them.
I believe around 2,105 delegates are at stake in total.
Because they have established different rules within their party. Democrats need 2382 delegates while Republicans need 1236 delegates.
74 delegates plus 18 super delegates democratic. 40 delegates republican
No, the Republican Party does not have super delegates like the Democratic Party.
Texas has a total of 228 democratic delegates, 126 delegates will be chosen proportionately according to the primary vote, 67 delegates will be chosen by the caucus process, and 35 delegates will be "Super Delegates". The caucus process begins at the precinct conventions and is completed at the Texas Democratic State Convention. So if you live in Texas you must go to the primary and caucus.
OBAMA =)
The answer is 65. They have 52 regular delegates and 13 super delegates.
One policy that offended many Republicans was JQAdams' decision to send delegates to the Pan-American Conference. Haiti, a free Black country, was represented at the conference. This was the reason for the Republicans' outcry.

The most notable DNC ruling in Florida history has concerned delegates. The DNC ruled they will pledge 185 delegates and 26 super delegates.
At the time of the DNC Convention, each candidate will have had the opportunity to win as many delegates as are practical. All committed delegates are supposedly required to vote for their candidate on the first ballot. If there is no victor, they move to a second ballot. Everybody is allowed to switch. At the time of the voting, the super delegates come into play. They are the party loyalists who are selected by the politically powerful within the Democrat Party. For example, every Democrat in each house is a super delegate. The votes of the committed delegates are clear, prior to the voting. In the Democrat Party, the committed delegates can change their mind prior to the first ballot. The super delegates have votes that are not tied to the elected delegates. The super delegates are required to vote as they are told or face party discipline. These super delegates have votes that are above and beyond the numbers tallied by the contestants. That is, they are 'ADDED TO the totals already there.' It is because of these super delegates one can surmise the standard bearer will be the distaff candidate.
