Superdelegates get campaign cash
About half the 800 superdelegates — elected officials, party leaders, and others — have committed to either Clinton or Obama, though they can change their minds until the convention.
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.

Is Will Ferrell Bringing Ron Burgundy Back?
Lets face facts here, people. There is no more iconic Will Ferrell character than Ron Burgundy. If you have a problem with that, then you can go fly a kite. The centerpiece of Anchorman, Burgundy has become a pop culture icon in his own right.
