Presidents Sale on Superdelegates

And the Democrats keep talking about change as they keep playing the game.
Superdelegates get campaign cash
I wonder how much money has gone from Hillary to her husband Bill? Or to Al Gore? Or Harry Ickes? All are superdelegates.
And Mr. Obama keeps talking about how Washington is broken and that the wealthy use lobbyists to ensure their interests, yet he is doing exactly what he preaches against. Apparently he has learned to play the game, even though it is a game that is stacked against him. The Clintons worked to put these superdelegates into play. It will be interesting to see if it all works out in their favor.
Superdelegates get campaign cash
Many of the superdelegates who could well decide the Democratic
presidential nominee have already been plied with campaign contributions by
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, a new study shows.

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.
