Obama's Finance Director Has Bipartisan Instincts
Talk about message discipline. In the spirit of Sen. Barack Obama's quest for comity....
Not only did new finance chair Penny Pritzker maxed out to Sen. Hillary Clinton in '06, she also maxed out to... the Bush-Cheney re-election committee in '04.

Pritzker seemed to have hedged her bets in Obama's '04 Senate primary, too. She contributed to his opponent, Dan Hynes.
In Pritzker's defense, it's smart for a billionaire executive of a major company to max out to the president's re-election campaign. And Pritzker endorsed John Kerry in '04. And almost every check she's written over the past few cycles have been sent to Democrats.
And yes, she's given to Joe Biden, too. [MARC AMBINDER]
