Clinton and Obama "cross-siting"

The top item on the Obama website is a 1/3 page "thank you, Senator Clinton" insert. If you click on it, it takes you to a page that enables you to "send a message of support" to Hillary Clinton (along with all your contact information.)

If you go to the Hillary Clinton website, the top item is a 1/3 page "sign up to support Obama" feature (which also asks for all your contact information.)

They may not be openly asking for fundraising for each other, but they are trying to channel contact information/mailing list/fundraising info to each other.

The big donors will be leaned on by the campaigns, but if they can each get their small donors across it will go a long way towards helping both of their situations. Obama raises funds from Clinton supporters, and Clinton gets to pay down her debt.

(Mailing lists are power in Washington.)

Just another sign of a deal having been made.
