Major Clinton fund-raiser defects to Obama
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

They’re called “Hillraisers”…the people who raise the big bucks for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. And based on recurring reports of money problems–unpaid bills, personal loans from the candidate, etc.–she can ill afford to lose any of them.

But NBC news was the first to report that Gabriel Guerra-Mondragon who has raised an estimated $500,000 for Senator Clinton is leaving to join Barack Obama’s campaign as a member of his national finance committee. A formal announcement is expected this week. Guerra-Mondragon has reportedly become concerned about the increasingly negative tone of Clinton’s campaign.

He is a former ambassador to Chile who was appointed by President Clinton in 1994 and joins a growing list of Clinton people who don’t like what they see in Hillary’s campaign. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former labor secretary Robert Reich both are supporting Obama.

It’s interesting to note that no one is leaving Obama’s campaign to join Clinton.

Additionally he asks
Here’s my question to you: What does it mean if one of Hillary Clinton’s major fund-raisers is leaving to join Barack Obama’s campaign?

You'll find DU is rather competitive when it comes to posting the latest news, and GD-P even more so. On the other hand, that makes it a great news source. You might ind the 'My DU' icon handy for keeping track of discussions you want to participate in, as the avalanche of news and opinion often pushes interesting topics off the front page.
