WASHINGTON (AP) ― Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton plan to meet next week with some of her top contributors in what a senior Clinton fundraiser said Tuesday was an attempt to calm donors who remain frustrated with Obama's campaign.

The fundraiser, who asked for anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the event, said Jonathan Mantz, Clinton's national finance director, notified the former first lady's top donors about the meeting by e-mail Tuesday and urged them to attend.

The official said a number of donors have complained that Obama's campaign has not been reaching out to them and has not consulted with Clinton's fundraising team. Donors grew especially angry after learning that Obama hired Clinton's former campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, to be chief of staff to Obama's yet-to-be named running mate, the fundraiser said.

1. The fact Obama and the DNC refuse contributions from Clinton's PAC backers makes this interesting

Kicking because I want to hear your informed responses

this is interesting

would retiring her debt in any way oblige us to her supporters?

is she encouraging him to be considerate of "special interests" in exchange for more enthusiastic support?

sorry... I can't help but suspect machiavellian maneuvers...

I'm still gunshy from the Primary
