Superdelegates get campaign cash - 2008 Presidential Campaign Blog - Political Intelligence - Boston.com
On the outset, this may seem a bit odd, and I’m sort of wondering why the news media hasn’t made a field day of it yet. Then again, the amount of funds an individual candidate can receive are limited. However, based upon the huge money going in and out of these, and the rather limited amount going to candidates, its likely the largest expenditures are for staffing and travel.
From wikipedia
A leadership PAC in U.S. politics is a political action committee that can be established by a member of Congress to support other candidates. The funds cannot be spent to directly support the owner of the PAC’s own campaign (such as mail or ads), but may fund travel and make contributions to other campaigns. During the 2006 election cycle, 256 leadership PACs contributed over $37 million to federal candidates.[1]
The 2008 data is there as well, but I’m not so sure how valid it is yet as there are some rather large disparities.
