Where are the Hamptons Deaniacs? Some of New Yorks wealthiest Dem contributors were no-shows at a $5,000-per-couple Amagansett DNC fund-raiser Howard Dean hosted at the home of Margo and Robert Alexander on July 9prompting worries that the donor elite are shutting their wallets to protest Deans shoot-from-the-lip party leadership. Sources say big-shot supporters Hassan Nemazee, Robert Zimmerman, Carl Spielvogel, and Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel played hooky. Dean grew up in the Hamptons, and it was his first time back as chair, so he should have filled the room, concedes a DNC official. DNC staffers were really disappointed. It spoke to the lack of confidence in Dean among the donor leadership. DNC spokesperson Karen Finney responds, It was wonderfully successful and gave the governor a chance to really listen to what people had to say. Unfortunately, due to other plans, those folks couldnt attend."
