Carly Fiorina Meets with 'Hillraisers' Who Resist "Notion of a President Obama"

Friday July 18, 2008
'Hillraisers' are Hillary Clinton supporters who've raised more than $100,000 for the Senator-turned-presidential-candidate during her campaign earlier this year. And they may be the toughest group to woo for their support.

Though Barack Obama will receive the bulk of the so-called women's vote on Election Day, John McCain isn't out of the running.

According to a Wall Street Journal article (via the Huffington Post), McCain dispatched his right-hand woman, Carly Fiorina, to Westchester, NY at the request of a group of Clinton supporters (including some Hillraisers) who are, in Fiorina's words, "intensely uncomfortable with the notion of a President Obama."

The group met on Tuesday for over 90 minutes in a private home.
