Reporters allowed into Obama-Clinton meeting with Clinton backers on Thursday
June 26, 2008
WASHINGTON —- After I raised the issue of opening the closed Obama-Clinton Thursday evening meeting with donors and fund-raisers to the press, the Obama campaign on Thursday afternoon agreed to allow a pool reporte to cover the event.
Meanwhile, I've learned that about 170 Clinton VIP donors are expected.There was going to be a small reception of the most elite donors with Obama and Clinton before the main reception for more exclusive meet and greet, but that was canceled.
In this April 13, 2008 file photo, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., shakes hands with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as they participate in a Compassion Forum at Messiah College, in Grantham, Pa. Obama has won over more than half of Clinton's former supporters, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll that finds party loyalty trumping hard feelings less than three weeks after their bruising Democratic presidential contest.
