"And when California Rep. Doris Matsui endorsed Clinton, she said the former first lady had been ''a consistent champion and friend'' of Asian Americans. Clinton's PAC had also befriended Matsui, giving $5,000 to her campaign. Matsui received nothing from Obama's PAC.

...

The study found that the presidential candidate who gave more money to the superdelegates received their endorsements 82 percent of the time. That's based on a review of elected officials who are serving as superdelegates and who had endorsed a candidate as of Feb. 25.

In cases where superdelegates received money from Obama's Hope Fund but none from Clinton's PAC, Obama got the superdelegates' support 85 percent of the time. In cases where superdelegates received money from Clinton's PAC but none from Obama's, 75 percent backed Clinton."





What's good for the goose is good for the gander, eh?

I know you are joking but I think that there are those who won't know how to handle it

and believe you are serious. They'll say, but Obama gave 7hundo to the down ticket campaigns without a hint of irony.
