In addition to single-handedly dictating what the world pulls out of its closet each morning, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is the fourth most effective person at getting rich people to throw their money at President Obama’s reelection campaign.
Wintour’s $40,000-a-plate fund-raising dinner parties have helped her bundle some $2,682,001 dollars this election cycle, according to documents obtained by the New York Times, putting her miles ahead of fellow boldface fund-raisers like Dreamworks founder Jeffrey Katzenberg ($2,064,280), actress Eva Longoria ($271,300), and Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer ($112,400).
The list was reportedly used to decide who got what perks at the DNC in Charlotte, like “briefings with senior Obama officials, invitations to post-speech parties, along with ‘priority booking’ at the city’s finest hotels.†Watchdog groups wagged their fingers at the apparent pay for play, but somehow we suspect Wintour’s ceased to be impressed by special treatment.

Democrats are now significantly more engaged by the presidential race and view it more favorably than Republicans, according to a Pew survey published on Wednesday.
Two-thirds of Democrats find the campaign “interesting†compared with only half of Republicans, while 68 percent of Dems find it “informative,†compared with just under half of Republicans, according to survey, conducted over the weekend by the the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
The most dramatic divergence since June is in the percentage of Democrats and Republicans who find the campaign too negative. The proportion has fallen 12 points for Democrats, to 42 percent, while it has shot up 9 points for Republicans, to 63 percent.Â

The ecologists used the image to measure how much light comes from different types of land use areas, such as streets or parks.
