Obama in Orange County at $28,350 a Pop

On Sunday, Obama will be at the swanky Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach, California, not a haven for democrats but there are many independents. The county is one of the staunchest republican territories in all of California. 

LAist: Yes, that Obama. He who voted in 2007 to raise the tax rate for those making more than $1 million a year to increase funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. He who voted last year to allow certain immigrants to stay in the United States while renewing their visas. Obama is slated to speak at the venerable Balboa Bay Club in Orange County; a bastion of Republican support in a region that could be ever so slightly tilting left.

Democratic officials hope to raise $1 million through two separate fundraisers next Sunday: A VIP reception at 2 p.m. that will run $28,500 per head and a general reception at 3:30 where each donor will be asked to unload $2,300, the paper reported.

Who might be there? Well, probably a lot of people from Los Angeles.  According to OpenSecrets, some of Obama's biggest California donors: 

Ben Affleck 

Jennifer Garner

Jada Pinkett Smith

Will Smith

Jeff Weiner, evp Yahoo

Sean Moriarty, ceo Ticketmaster

Dolby executives

Lots of Google executives

Writer for the Simpsons

Warner Bros. executives

A lot of authors, singers, technology, many people from the creative professions.
