Al Gore Hosts DNC Fundraiser For Clinton, Obama Supporters

Election Central:

Al Gore is set to do a major fundraising event uniting top Hillary and Obama donors on behalf of the Democratic National Committee on May 31st, a sign that the Dem fundraising establishment is beginning to unite and ramp up in earnest for the general election.

The event features prominent donors on both sides, as you can see if you click on the image of the invite (which was forwarded our way by a source) to enlarge...

I will continue to send my support directly to Obama's campaign. I will not be sending the DNC any money at all until Hillary has finally 'finished what she set out to do' My hard earned dollars will not be used to pay back her loans to herself, or for her campaign manager's loans.

[ThunderclapNewman]

No donations that you send to Obama or to the DNC may be used to pay her debts.
It's illegal.

Hillary gets NO money from the DNC---and neither does Obama.

The DNC will far out raise the RNC but not until the primaries are over and the Dems have one candidate. Just look at the fundraising of Clinton and Obama combined v.s. McCain, and for that matter, all the other Republican candidates. Obama by himself has out raised all the Republican candidates COMBINED.

And since most of us have not maxed out, the potential for further fundraising is enormous.

Also, go through the primaries and total the votes by party instead of by candidates. Even if a few stupid ditto heads crossed over and was counted, look at the differential in the number of voters each side attracted. The difference is enormous.

Things look a lot bleaker for the Republicans even if the MSM and Republican pundits make it out to be otherwise. Just look at the three special congressional elections thus far, in previously very red districts.

My other thought about Gore's meeting is, isn't that the same day some of these folks are meeting to settle the Florida & mich thing? Doesn't Dean who is giving this party have to be there? Well its at night so maybe he is doing both.

[TheRealMacDaddy]

No he doesn't "Have to be there". This is a meeting of the Rules and Credentials Committee. It has it's own Chair who will run the meeting.

I donate to Obama twice a month, but I will not give one red cent to anything with Hillary Huckabee's name attached to it ... so if she goes on the ticket, I'm done!
I called Obama for America at 866-675-2008 to let them know this, as well as to inform them that I do not want Hillary Huckabee on the Obama ticket.

What a silly attitude.

This fund-raiser benefits the DNC, which has less money right now than the RNC.

You approach is guaranteed to antagonize voters we need in November.
Stop thinking about yourself and your emotions, and start thinking about the country and what we all need to do to get Obama elected.

Grow up! You sound like a spoiled brat who takes his ball and goes home if they don;t get their way. It has been a long, long campaign but the goal is to win the WH not defeat Clinton. Please turn the page and focus on McCain

[whitey7]

No,the goal is Change and the McCain/Clinton axis does not offer this.I will stay focused on removing all corrupt influences - always.

I will continue to donate my mone to Sen. Obama is officially the candidate, which he well should be, When Hillary finally steps down because she did not win, then I will be more than happy to talk to the Dem Party about donations. I do not trust clinton and I am afraid she will try to pull a cheap trick to steal the nomination from the person who has inspired millions of Americans, Barack Obama. The super delgates need to come out now because this is destroying the party.

[scorpioleidy]

Call Obama for America @ 866-675-2008 and let them know you don't want Hillary Huckabee on the Obama ticket.

[marlainWA]

Just called and he said 9 out of 10 folks that call are saying exactly what I said which is the mere thought of them together makes my skin crawl....a­nd he said he writes down what we say and it does get back to the campaign.

[scorpioleidy]

Thanks ... tell a friend!

Up to now, I have turned down the Democratic party's request for donations, preferring to put my meager amounts in a steady stream to Obama. I was a bit leery that that Clintons might move to steal the nomination. However, if Al Gore, our real president, comes into play, I might fork out to the DNC again.

Donations to Obama will go to win back our country from the Religious Reich.

Donations to Clinton will go to fund their house in the Hamptons that she mortgaged to buy attack ads against a fellow Democrat.
