Warren Buffett to Headline Fund-Raiser for Clinton

[tekisui]

Hillary Clinton will hold a question and answer session with billionaire Warren Buffett in San Francisco on Tuesday, an appearance that could signal that as her rival Barack Obama enjoys the endorsement of Oprah Winfrey, the well-organized Clinton campaign is being more aggressive in requesting the support of the nation’s top investor. Mr. Buffett’s assistant, Debbie Bosanek, said that he has not changed his mind to her knowledge and still supports both candidates.

The 77-year-old businessman hasn’t endorsed a candidate, but has said he is willing to throw his substantial fund-raising capabilities behind both Mrs. Clinton and Democratic rival Barack Obama.

Mr. Buffett, who runs Omaha-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc., held an event for Mrs. Clinton in New York in June that raised at least $1 million for the campaign. In August, he held an event at the Ironwood Country Club in Omaha for Mr. Obama that drew at least 200 people with a minimum entrance price of $500 a person. About 40 people donated at least $2,300. Mr. Buffett has said that either candidate would make an excellent president.

3. Yep! I'd by happy as hell to vote for either of them. I'm not keen on Edwards but I would

still work enthusiastically for him or any other Dem candidate who gets our nomination.

I'll be happy when the primaries are done and we can REALLY get down to work!

It's gonna be FUN!
