Political bits - Weekend catchup
(NYObserver) On Thursday night, some top Clinton donors gave Howard Dean an earful at a donor meeting over Florida and Michigan.
(CNN) By Friday afternoon, the DNC had returned $45,000 to three Florida donors. (I'm sorry we couldn't agree, but don't let the door hit ya.....)
(CNN) John McCain (temporarily) returned $3 million to donors (that they can/will later regive) to set himself up for public financing.
(NYTimes) An Ohio hospital contests a healthcare story Clinton has been telling on the stump. (Not really a big deal, except that it echoes Clinton's larger problems on trust/honesty.)
(Politico) The Colombian government fires Mark Penn.
(ABCNews) Clinton's popular vote argument now must include language explaining why Florida and Michigan should be counted in the tally. (That argument has to be strong enough to justify overturning the pledged delegates.)
(Politico) Even Clinton loving Rahm Emanuel thinks it will likely be over at NC.

RE: Mark Penn. What does it say when the the Columbian government has more principles than Clinton's top strategist/advisor? OK. A little snarky.
Fat Cat Donors: Have they officially lost their "ownership" of the DNC? If so, probably only as long as the new, invigorated small contributors continue to feel as though they have a voice and are being heard.

Well, we're talking $45,000 from three donors versus how many millions and how many donors?
As we learned the other day, the DCCC got plenty of compensation against the Clinton donors threat, I would guess that the DNC gets similar support. (Assuming that the superdelegates don't overturn Obama.)
