Over the last few election cycles, conventions in both parties have been paths of least resistance for tens of millions of dollars flowing from corporations eager to find new and better ways to rub elbows in July with the policy makers who'll be able to give them a hand in January. We know that the DNC host committee – led by the likes of Comcast executive vice president David L. Cohen, a special adviser, and Independence Blue Cross CEO Daniel Hilferty, its finance chair (when he's not lobbying on Obamacare issues) – sought to raise as much as $60 million in cash from private donors. But we still don't know who those donors are, thanks to the host committee's extraordinary efforts to fight a judge's order and keep its fundraising records secret.
