It's long been noted that as far as youth political activism goes, there's a lot more money and influence on the Republican side.

Frank Foer, now editor of The New Republic, wrote a great piece entitled "Swimming With The Sharks" detailing the 2005 campaign for the presidency of the College Republicans. Not only does the position pay $75,000,it was also the stepping stone for GOP operatives like Karl Rove, Grover Norquist and Jack Abramoff. To give you some insight into how intense the campaign was; the loser, Michael Davidson, raised $200,000. The president of the College Democrats, on the other hand, raised 2,000. Oh yeah, and he doesn't get paid a cent.

Haim Saban, the biggest political fundraiser in the country and a major Clinton backer, is trying to change the dynamic. And he's doing it by allegedly having offered the Young Democrats of America one million dollars in exchange for their two super delegates endorsing Hillary Clinton. According to the Huffington Post, the group's president, David Hardt, turned Saban down and won't be making an endorsement until the primaries are over. Although such sleezy activities aren't technically illegal, they are certainly..well...sleezy. But hey, at least there's some money sloshing around Democratic youth organizations.
