Tuesday a whole new game begins . . .
. . . just like every other old game.
Inaugural committee staff members attributed Obama's success to both small and large donors and said that special tickets are given in appreciation to big contributors but that there is no quid pro quo."Although the Obama campaign was unprecedented in its aggressive outreach to small donors, it is a fact in American politics that large donations are necessary as well," said committee spokeswoman Linda Douglass. "Nothing has ever led any donor to believe they will have special access to President-elect Obama."
Yeah. Right. Nothing has ever led anyone to believe that.
Read the article for the amounts involved. And the sky-box seats at the Inaugural and wonder why those donors might have thought they'd have special access.
