Obama To Host DNC Fundraiser Tomorrow Night
By Greg Sargent - June 3, 2008, 9:32AM

A source forwards me the invite for a fundraiser that Barack Obama is hosting tomorrow night for the Democratic National Committee's White House Victory Fund.

It's Obama's first fundraiser for the fund, and the event is being seen as a clear sign that the Democratic donor establishment is coalescing behind Obama as the all-but-certain nominee.



Word of the event -- which is taking place in New York, at the Park Avenue home of top Dem fundraisers Jane Hartley and her husband, Ralph Schlosstein -- stirred some speculation in Democratic circles yesterday that Hillary and Obama would be hosting it together as a kind of unity gesture, an effort to unite the donor establishment behind Obama.

But Hillary doesn't appear to be involved in this event. Some folks still think it's possible that Hillary and Obama will do some kind of joint appearance tomorrow, but this fundraiser isn't it -- for now, anyway.
