Barack Obama is set to headline a 100-person Democratic National Committee fund-raiser in Manhattan on June 4, the day after the last primary, according to a supporter organizing the event.

The $28,500 per-person event is taking place at 820 Park Avenue, at the home of prominent Democratic fund-raisers Jane Hartley and her husband, Ralph Schlosstein. Checks for event will be made out to the White House Victory Fund, the newly created financial arm of the D.N.C. whose proceeds go to the Democratic nominee.

According to the event organizer, the fund-raiser is meant to signal that the Democratic Party establishment is getting ready to recognize Obama as their candidate and shift Democrats' focus away from the protracted primary with Hillary Clinton and onto the general election against Republican John McCain.

1. will the hillbots be picketing this event too?

3. My thoughts exactly.

Seems that Obama (and the party) is moving on to GE mode. I guess it's time for those of us who have been contributors to his campaign, to pony up to the DNC for the convention. All those millions Clinton spent, even after she knew she couldn't win honestly, might have been better spent on the convention this summer.

12. Good news since the Clinton money-grubbers have cut the DNC off.

[madfloridian]

14. And the Sat. fundraiser with Al Gore...while her supporters are screaming

outside the DNC.

I think it is pretty large donation as well.

[AtomicKitten]

A change is coming, America. :D

20. great news

thank you so much for sharing. I haven't looked at the GDP
all day, and when I did tonight, it was disgusting and depressing.

21. These 100 people are going to have access to Obama...

...which ordinary people won't.

$28,500 per-person events in which a presidential candidate raises money for a Victory Fund aren't consistent with the idea of a $2,300 limit.

[Bensthename]

23. I feel left out too from being by Obama? We'll be OK..
