As Hillary Clinton launches her second run for the White House, Hollywood Democrats appear ready to deliver a far more unified front than greeted her last campaign.
Some of the biggest industry fundraisers, like Jeffrey Katzenberg, who famously backed Obama over Clinton in the 2008 race, long ago pledged their support. With a lack of serious competitors, progressives who are lukewarm to her candidacy face a race with few alternatives. And for almost two years, a number of industry figures have been raising money in a kind of pre-campaign, as if to ensure that some of the bitter divisions of the last time around don't materialize again.
Fundraising sources say that Clinton's first swing through Los Angeles to raise money is in the planning for early May, with one of the events hosted by media mogul Haim Saban, longtime friend of the Clintons, at his home. A spokeswoman for Saban did not return multiple requests for comment.
Clinton entered her last campaign - "I'm in, and I'm in to win" - as the presumptive front-runner, but in the entertainment industry that quickly was countered by Barack Obama's entrance in the race.
Katzenberg, David Geffen and Steven Spielberg hosted the cycle's first major industry event for Obama in February, 2007, and a the next day, a Maureen Dowd interview with Geffen in which he bashed both Clintons triggered the first signs of acrimony between the two campaigns.

HOW could. Any Jewish person vote for these pro terrorist politicians.
They are treasonous to Israel.
Anyone who supports her is a complete idiot. Remember people all the lies she has told and especially remember Benghazi.
Jews seem to forget that it was the Democratic party that condoned the killing of Jews in Germany. They even lobbied and turned back a ship of Jews fleeing the Nazi's to America. Those on the ship were returned to Germany to later be exterminated.
They believe anything they're told just like when the Nazi's convinced them of a better life and then killed them.
Of course folks from fantasy land are going to support her.
I hate to say it but if the Jews support the democrats they deserve what they will get and it ain't gonna be pretty.I'm a christian and a republican and I have sent money to support the Isrealies,apparently I care more about Isreal than the hollywood Jews.
