Obama's political action committee has doled out more than $694,000 to superdelegates since 2005, the study found, and of the 81 who had announced their support for Obama, 34 had received donations totaling $228,000.
Clinton's political action committee has distributed about $195,000 to superdelegates, and only 13 of the 109 who had announced for her have received money, totaling about $95,000.
Since Obomba is getting more contributions, he can buy more Superdelagates..... OK by me.
Anyone but Hillary or McBush....Oh,I mean McCain.

Since 2005? Superdeligates are Congresspersons, Senators and Governors. Typically, Congresspersons, Senators and Governors give money to each other's campaigns. Obama and Clinton were making donations to their colleague's campaigns as Congresspersons, Senators and Governors NOT AS SUPERDELEGATES.
As the original report states, some superdelegates got contributions from both and non-elected superdelegates got nothing.
This article is trying to make something from nothing.

Leave it to the party officials to come up with a way that makes a resonably honest process and turn it into legal bribery. | |

| I agree. It's to be expected from the world's most ethical political party... | |

I'm surprised you have the cojones to even weigh in on this one, Chuck, considering whom you've been supporting over the years.
Have you no sense of decency, sir?  | |

While I'm sure that the idea of superdelegates seemed like a good idea in 1980, its time for them to go. | |
