The contest for the Democratic presidential nomination appears to be far from over with Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) battling it out in the remaining states prior to the end of the primary season in June. And it's all but certain the popularly elected pledged delegates won't give either of the candidates the 2,024 delegates needed to win the nomination.

Enter a website known as LobbyDelegates.com, which will, for a fee, lobby the uncommitted superdelegates on behalf of anyone who wants pressure put on those superdelegates.
