The 20 Hillary Clinton supporters who sent House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a letter telling her to keep hands off the superdelegate fight warned ominously that they had been enthusiastic financial backers of the Democratic Party.

Now a campaign finance watchdog group has tallied up how enthusiastic: the letter-signers, along with their spouses, have contributed $23.6 million to Democrats since 1999, the Center for Responsive Politics said.

That largess includes $554,000 to Clinton's campaigns and political action committee -- 10 times what they gave to Barack Obama -- and nearly $3 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which helps Pelosi and other House members

1. in other words, the amounts they gave are a pittance to what Obama and Dem activists can raise

over the internet.

2. So that's about $2.5 million a year... or what Obama calls "a good day."

Yeah... I think we safely say that these people can get on the wagon or be left behind.
