This Saturday, Oprah Winfrey is hosting her much talked-about fundraiser for Sen. Barack Obama. It's a garden party to be held in the backyard of her $50 million, 42-acre estate in Montecito, Calif., right outside Santa Barbara.
The price of admission: $2,300 -- the maximum primary campaign contribution. Oprah is circling the wagons on this event. There's a media blackout and cameras are prohibited -- along with a list of other interesting protocols.
Magic Johnson is hosting his own fundraiser for Hillary Clinton later on.
If you could be a fly on the wall at Oprah's bash, what would you keep an eye out for?
UPDATE (Sept. 10): News & Notes found an inside source -- Voltaire Rico Sterling, an actor living in Los Angeles -- who attended Oprah's fundraiser. Listen to his account of what transpired.
