Al Gore Hosting Major Fundraising Event For
DNC Uniting Clinton And Obama Donors

By Greg Sargent - May 19, 2008, 10:42AM

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...

Of those listed on the invite, Maureen White, Robert Zimmerman
and Al Puchala are major Hillary backers. Meanwhile, Orin Kramer,
Mitchell Draizing, Brian Mathis and Jamie Whitehead are Obama
supporters.

3. I know of at least one non-prominent invitee who is a backer of neither

Just a backer of the DNC and not even with major cash at that.
But there is more to back the party with than just money.

after they meet over delegate participation by the states that didn't go by the rules.
