To be honest, I’m rather surprised that we’re not hearing more stories of superdelegates having their arms twisted or being bribed. Still, it’s worth noting that Haim Saban, the founder of Brookings’ Saban Center for the Invasion of Middle Eastern Nations, tried to bring the financial hammer down on the Young Democrats of America.
