Who is he fundraising for? The Democratic Party in general?
- dang 13y agoThis is a factual, neutral question. It doesn't deserve downvoting.
- pekk 13y agoIf there's anything we need more of on HN, it's partisan bickering. This whole story is worse than useless
- dang 13y agoBut daniel-cussen's question wasn't that at all. You can flag a story as off-topic if you feel strongly that nothing like it should be on HN.
- WalterSear 13y agoOh, I'm sure there's room for some gender sniping in here somewhere.
- tokenadult 13y agoAs other replies have pointed out, the question suggests not having read the fine article (unless the person asking the question has little understanding of United States politics, in which case it is a legitimate informational question).
- gdubs 13y agoThe article says it's for the DNC, so that would be the party in general. The midterm elections are coming up in the fall, and people like Nate Silver have been suggesting the Democrats are in danger of losing the senate -- I'm guessing the fundraising will be kicking into overdrive as we head into the summer.
- joshAg 13y agoyes: "The change was made because of demand for tickets to the Obama fundraiser, which benefits the Democratic National Committee, sources said."
