Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have given some money to North Carolina's superdelegates.
According to campaign finance information on Open Secrets, the two Democratic presidential candidates's leadership committees have given a total of $15,000 in recent years to two elected Tar Heels who could play a role in deciding the nomination.
That's a fraction of the $890,000 they have given overall to candidates who are now superdelegates. In both cases, the money went to first-time candidates in North Carolina.
Clinton's HILLPAC gave $5,000 to U.S. Rep. Brad Miller's campaign when he first ran in 2002. (It also donated the same amount to losing candidates Chris Kouri and Erskine Bowles that year.)
Obama's Hope Fund PAC gave $10,000 to Rep. Heath Shuler's campaign when he first ran in 2006.
