Assuming you are speaking about the US presidential primary, the difference between delegates and superdelegates are the pledges of their votes in the primary. A delegate must vote ON THE FIRST ROUND OF VOTING the way that state's political party designates that vote. On subsequent votes, a delegate can vote any way he or she pleases. For example, in Delaware Obama won nine of 23 Democratic Party delegates and Clinton won six. On the FIRST ROUND OF VOTING IN THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL NOMINATING CONVENTION ONLY, Delaware will vote at least nine votes for Obama and at least six votes for Clinton. There are still eight delegates outstanding (23 - [9 + 6]) and they are superdelegates. A superdelegate is not pledged to any delegate, even on the first round. In Delaware, seven of the superdelegates are party officials and one is unnamed. -jt
Delegates have more power over the votes. A committee of delegates actually tallies up the votes and the committee votes based,but can change their votes if they absolutely refuse to vote for that person {I might be a little off, but that's how i herd.}
There is nothing in common with these two items. The Electoral College is how a US president is formally declared the winner of a presidential election. The super delegates are part of the Democratic Party's primary election process to determine who will be the Party's nominee for president.

How many delegates does each state have?
The people who elect the president make up the Electoral College and are called electors. Each state has the same number of electors as it has senators and representatives (there are two senators from each state, but the number of representatives depends on the population of the state in the most recent census). The District of Columbia, isn't a state, but it has three electors. The left column in the link provided shows the number of electors by state for many states. I don't know why it doesn't show them all.
