Shorter Megabucks Democrats to Nancy Pelosi

Nice political party ya got here. Shame if something was to happen to it.
(It seems that a who's-who of major donors—who, collectively, have given ten times as much money to Hillary Clinton's campaign as they have to Barack Obama's—have written to Nancy Pelosi urging that she stop suggesting to superdelegates that they ought to support the candidate who is ahead in the popular delegate vote come the convention this summer.
For now, Obama is ahead of Clinton in pledged delegates, 1413 to 1242, according to CNN's count, and the Clinton supporters who wrote to Pelosi this week want her to amend her advice to the nearly 800 superdelegates. "You suggested superdelegates have an obligation to support the candidate that leads in the pledged delegate count as of June 3, whether that lead be by 500 delegates or two," the letter stated. "This is an untenable position that runs counter to the party's intent in establishing super-delegates in 1984."
Yes, mustn't have too much democracy in the Democratic Party. Tsk tsk tsk.)
