Clinton's Hollywood Fundraiser doubles Obama's

[wyldwolf]

Sen. Hillary Clinton hit Hollywood last night at the estate of grocery store mogul Ron Burkle and took home $2.6 million for her presidential campaign.

It was twice as much as Sen. Barack Obama raised last month at a similar fundraiser thrown by Dreamworks SKG's David Geffen — a point that was made privately during the Clinton event by many of the fundraisers.

And while the Burkle event didn't have the quantity of star power that the Geffen event had, it sure had the quality. Clinton was seated at the head table with Barbra Streisand and her husband, actor James Brolin; Yahoo chief executive Terry Semel, who once was the co-head of Warner Bros. with Robert Daly; Daly, with wife, songwriter Carole Bayer Sager.

6. Figures FOX (& some DUers) spins this as HC v BO

If Clark and Gore don't get into the race, Clinton/Obama looks like a winner to me.

7. IT is Foxnews..

How can I be sure that this article is even accurate? It seems to me the repubs have been pushing for Hillary for over a year, so it is no surprise that their news franchise gives us this info.

8. So she has more money in the race still doesn't mean she's a lock for the nomination..

Steve Forbes and Ross Perot had lots of money they still didn't get elected.

13. But if a candidate should beat Hillary in fundraising, I am sure you will declare her campaign dead

Just like polls meant nothing when they showed her ahead but needed posting everytime they didn't.

9. You have no idea how hard the Clinton's worked

to get that money to that amount so she could say that. A-list Hollywood is still buzzing about Obama and how angry they are at Clinton's war stance. Hillary did not cause a sensation here, she just collected ca$h without the glitz.

10. I have no doubt she will get tons of $$$

But that doesn't mean she should be our nominee.

11. Good for her!

It's gonna take a lot of money to win this race.

12. Well, she is the "electable" one...How'd that work for Kerry? EOM
