Hillary and Bernie are probably both wooing Superdelegates as hard as possible.

If you're talking quid pro quo or actual financial compensation in one form or another... Wish I could say no but I suspect it's very likely from the Clinton camp.

I say this as a Hillary Supporter.

If no one has enough delegates on the convention floor, let it be an old fashioned floor fight.
