Obama's campaign is a fundraising juggernaut without a doubt. The Hollywood crowd is definitely stepping up as usual:

FOXNews.com - Pop Tarts: Hollywood Stars React to Sarah Palin, Daughter’s Pregnancy - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment
About halfway down.

On a separate note, curious why Oprah is allegedly balking at having Palin on, pretty big risk to her ratings IMO (not that she really cares at $ 100M+/yr.). I would think she would at least put up the appearance of being impartial & fair and let all voices be heard.

Why should she have her on? She has already chosen sides. It's not like Nascar/Hockey moms are her base anywho. Personally, I would have her on, put on my papa bear hat on and ask her the tough questions.

BTW you're giving way too much credit to Hollywood.
