Following a rock-star-like appearance by Barack Obama, Elvis re-enters the room. How will the Clinton fundraising machine do here?

Bill Clinton is holding a fundraiser for the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton in Seattle June 23 at the Westin. Tickets are $1,000 for a "Team Member," $2,300 for a "Base Builder," and $4,600 for a "Champion." One of the organizers is Colby Underwood, fundraising consultant for Mayor Greg Nickels and others. The former president follows a hugely successful appearance last weekend by Barack Obama. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer said Obama "worked the shrieking, whistling crowd like a rock star." Bill Clinton is becoming an increasingly visible advocate for his wife's campaign. Will anyone be surprised if he, too, works the room like a rock star?
