All In The Family: Rob Reiner backing Dean, Norman Lear backing Clark
Most major Hollywood donors remain uncommitted, cutting checks to multiple Dems in the race. It's hard to compete with the attention Dean's already received from the entertainment community with the help of backer Rob Reiner.

But Clark is starting to attract the support of some major players and can boast the backing of television great and activist Norman Lear. Alan Alda and wife Arlene have ponied up $4,000, Ted Danson has given $2,000, and Clark also counts Nora Ephron, Christopher Guest, Alan Ladd and wife Cindra and Barry Levinson as contributors.

I thought this was an interesting bit of "All In The (Democratic) Family" information from the article.

1. This is indicative of the entire primary, I think
It's going to boil down to a race between these two. And if either falters, then Kerry picks up the pieces.

2. I met Rob in Vegas in late Oct. 2000
I indicated that I am a Democrat. All he could say was"we gotta get Gore into the white house". He seemed like a great guy!
