A veritable who's who of the PUMA wing.
The reception for former Clinton supporters, which also was attended by Rick Davis, the McCain campaign manager, was spearheaded by Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a former telecommunications entrepreneur and "Hillraiser" who brought in more than $100,000 for Mrs. Clinton's campaign; Calvin Fayard, also a former Hillraiser and longtime Democratic donor from Louisiana, and Miguel Lausell, a former senior political adviser to the Clinton campaign from Puerto Rico.
Hmmm... I was pretty sure I was told that somewhere along the line, Obama and Hillary had patched things up. $8 million is a lot of money, and McCain sure could use it. But it appears bygones are not exactly bygones with the Hillraisers from the Upper East Side.
Hillary herself has been making the morning news round and declaring that her campaigning for president days are over, (unless Obama messes up the biggest gimme in presidential history). But she doesn't have much pull with her own fiercest supporters... or does she?
