DEL.ICIO.USHillary wins the weekend, fundraising-wise
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Early word from the Hillary Clinton camp is that she raised something like $300,000 in her two Atlanta fundraising events Saturday. That doesn’t match Barack Obama’s big fundraiser in March, but it took top honors for a busy weekend.
Republican Mitt Romney took in $250,000 Friday - that’s a lot more $2,300 checks than the 40 votes he got in the straw poll at the state GOP convention. We haven’t heard any numbers, but we understand John Edwards stuck around after his Jefferson-Jackson dinner speech Thursday night for a couple of fundraisers Friday.
The second of the Clinton fundraisers, at the home of Caribou Coffee CEO Michael Coles, drew about 200 contributors, including several notable African-American Democrats: Attorney General Thurbert Baker, Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond, Valerie Jackson, Hank Aaron, Rep. Calvin Smyre, Vernon Jordan and Herman Russell.
