One question going around Washington is what Obama plans to do with the 10m-odd people on his list of campaign supporters and donors. In an early indication, the Obama campaign staff said they're going to put a plea on the campaign website, barackobama.com, asking for donations to relief efforts in California.
The announcement came today after Obama spoke with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Los Angeles Mayor Tony Villaraigosa about the situation.
The headline of the request:
"Together We Can -- Help the victims of the southern California fires".
