Regardless of who “wins” the Democratic primary elections next week, neither candidate will win enough delegates to win the nomination. All that will happen is that both will win more delegates in proportion to the vote. If the races are……

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.

The above quote was taken out of an article on the Boston Globe’s web page (boston.com).

If this is true then neither of these people should be running for President – both should be in prison. I am aware that candidates dig up all the dirt they can on their opponents but this is pure bribery. I know there must be a law against this type of activity so why aren’t they being prosecuted? Somebody tell me where I am wrong, please.

Told you she was putting those FBI files to good use.

We knew all along that the FBI files weren’t there for decoration. The Clintons should have been kicked out of the White House just for that. Can you imagine if that had happened during Reagan’s or GWBush’s administration? Geeeesh!

The guy who’s whole theme was to get corporate hands off of Washington might endorse Clinton? heh.

I can`t believe Edwards could be so two-faced……..I really can`t.

Wait, YES I CAN! :)

I’m not unsurprised by this if true- hell, I fully expected that that they’d be digging up dirt on the superdelegates. They couldn’t go after all 700+, but given how close things are, “convincing” 20 to go their way could have an impact.

Either way this goes, I’m hoping it goes all the way to counting the supers, then watching half of the D’s electorate have a meltdown, accusing the other of everything they accuse Cons of committing.

Hey, a fella can dream can’t he?

How would this work, though? She’s not going to blackmail 600-700 people, let alone powerful party insiders, and if she gets wiped out on March 4 in Texas and Ohio that’s about how many of them are going to break Obama’s way.

700? No. But I’ve no doubt she’d let quite a few know that it’s in their best interest to back her.

but the coveted Silky Pony imprimatur may go to our gal after all

That’s a given. There is no way that he gives his nod to a man with no visible hairdo.
