Super Delegate Vote "For Sale" ???

[Starman3000m]

Heard on FOX News: One Super Delegate will sell his endorsement to either candidate (Obama or Clinton) for Twenty-Million Dollars! He says the money will be used to "help register Latino Voters."

Apparently this is legal? Being able to sell and buy Super Delegate endorsements?

Anyone know about this?

Heard him on the radio yesterday, he's not taking 20 million dollars free and clear, he's looking for a 20million dollar investment from the DNC which will go towards registering young (Legal) Latino's.

Found this from a Rightwing blog

And a man ready to name his price:

DNC Superdelegate Puts His Vote Up For Sale
Steven Ybarra Wants $20 Million For His Vote

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CBS13) ― In this tight battle for the Democratic nomination we've heard a lot about the candidates courting superdelegates.

But, one superdelegate is courting the candidates. He says he'll sell his vote for a price. A very high price: $20 million.

Steven Ybarra of Sacramento says that eight-figure price is peanuts for the presidency.

This is not going to be an attack on Mr. Ybarra, by the way: he's just an example. The real problem for the Democrats are the super-delegates who are being quiet about their special needs.

Read on.

First off, let's establish something: what Mr. Ybarra wants is not precisely a bribe. He's looking to use that 20 million to register Mexican-American Democrats in the Southwest, which is a project that the DNC should be getting involved in. They can't, because Howard Dean spent his Party's cash reserves making Democrats in Montana feel better about being surrounded by all those Republicans, but that's only Ybarra's problem in the abstract. Naturally, he's not really a disinterested party in this: Ybarra wants to be the guy who can hand out the dozen or so jobs that a project like that entails, which will benefit him indirectly, and on a more local level, and in the long run. Put another way: Ybarra is looking to parlay this suddenly-important status of his into increased influence in the California Democratic Party; and he's probably smart enough to do that while being scrupulously remaining within the letter of the law. As he said, it's done all the time.

That's the issue, really.

Hmmm... Perhaps he will pay himself an "administrative salary" to oversee the registration.

So your upset because he's looking for a commitment, from the DNC of 20 million dollars to register LEGAL Latino Americans.

Would you be upset if he wanted the same commitment from the RNC to register LEGAL Caucasian Americans (or does it have to be males?)

He, Ybarra, is doing absolutely nothing wrong. At no point is this the type of "Bribe"that you'r trying to portray it.

Why can't the register themselves
