The New York Observer reports that Sarah Kovner, a longtime ally of Harold Ickes, and a supporter of Hillary Clinton, attended a fundraiser for Barack Obama Monday night.
Kovner said she had not yet made a contribution to the Obama campaign, but she added, "I certainly will, as will everyone I know."A fight that isn't a fight anymore.
Kovner, who said she had mostly focused her energies on Senate and Congressional races this year, is not ambiguous about her reasons for supporting Obama.
"Obama's the candidate," she said. "I'm a Democrat and I have been a Democrat for a long time and I want to win in November and I don't want to continue a fight that isn't a fight anymore.
That sums up the 2008 Democratic primary season about as well as anything.
