Reply #11: Well, he made his millions in the business community...

He was involved with cell phone and other communications ventures. And, in business, you obviously make contacts, which if treated well can always come in handy ... like this fundraiser. I don't think a regular person would pay 5000 bucks to see warner (or any regional figure.. he is not a national commodity yet)... it was a b'day gala, so there were obviously friends and family involved. I don't see that as that big an achievement. If you have wealthy friends and business contacts... it is easy to raise that kind of money. However, the test will be if he can go out there and convince other Americans, the ones out of his personal circle, to contribute to his campaign.
