Remember this story? (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,354716,00.html)

Well it looks like Obama has agreed to pay the $20 million for this super delegate.


In May, news agencies and voters were stunned when Steven Ybarra, a prominent member of the DNC and California Superdelegate promised his vote to the candidate who would commit $20 million to him for use in Hispanic Outreach programs. Following a rash of negative news stories, both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton denounced the demands of Ybarra and pledged that neither would meet his demands.

Just two months after the story broke; the Obama campaign has apparently rescinded their pledge and met the demands of Ybarra. On Tuesday, Barack Obama and Howard Dean announced that they would commit $20 million to be used for Hispanic Outreach Programs and Voter Registration Drives. The money committed to the project will be used by the DNC’s Hispanic Caucus and will be controlled by the Hispanic Outreach and Voter Registration Committee.

I suppose we can conclude that the outcome isn't rigged and it's still up in the air with Hillary and Obama...
