p> MONEY MEMORY br> Very quietly, campaign fundraisers for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton are reaching out to many of their bigger donors and reminding them that the Senator and her campaign have long memories. "You can't support everyone equally and expect that when the chips are down, the victor is going to remember you after election day," says one Clinton fundraiser. "Right now, in our view, it's not all right to be maxing out to Senator Obama at the same time that you claim to support Senator Clinton." /p>

Both Clinton and Obama have set their campaigns on a collision course in the financing arena. Both have set up accounts that indicate they will not be seeking federal matching funds for their campaigns. Both are aggressively reaching out to Hollywood. Last week, left-wing movie producers Steven Spielberg and David Geffen announced plans to hold a major fundraiser for Obama in Los Angeles. They indicated they would hold a similar event for Clinton later in the year.

"Hollywood is different," says another Democrat fundraiser. "They aren't interested in getting the same things as many of our other donors are. I think the 'you're with us or you're against us' is targeted more toward business, lobbying firms and labor."
