Dine With Obama

By Marc Ambinder

Major donors -- the folks who can contribute up to $2300 per election -- crave access to their candidates. They're usually rewarded with special dinners, calls and personal notes.

Small donors crave... lots of things, but they never get access. At most, they'll get a tee-shirt of a coffee-mug.

So this idea from the Obama campaign is clever:

If you make a donation in any amount between now and 11:59 pm EDT on Wednesday, June 13, you could join Barack and three other supporters for an intimate dinner for five.
