Oregon Democratic donor says he just wanted good inaugural tickets
The Oregonian
More than anyone else in Oregon, Win McCormack is helping pay for Barack Obama's inaugural celebrations.

McCormack, a longtime publisher and writer who has become one of the state's largest Democratic donors, gave the maximum $50,000 allowed to the committee and is credited with raising another $50,000 from others.

McCormack, the heir to a Midwestern banking fortune, shrugged off the contribution, saying he was just looking for good tickets to the inaugural activities.

"It's a great moment in American history," he said. "I think he's the Democratic leader with the most potential for greatness since Bobby (Kennedy). And I want to be part of that moment."....

....McCormack gave nearly $350,000 to Democratic presidential and congressional candidates in the past two elections. And in the past two years, he gave $333,000 to local and state candidates and ballot measure campaigns in Oregon.

On top of that, he made the biggest political donation of his life -- $1 million -- to an independent voter turnout group seeking to topple Bush in 2004. The group, America Coming Together, operated independently of the Democratic Party so that wealthy donors could exceed federal campaign finance limits....

....And last year, he wrote a book -- "You Don't Know Me, A Citizen's Guide to Republican Family Values" -- that chronicled dozens of sex scandals involving Republican figures. He thought Republican sexual hypocrisy was inextricably linked to the party's misdeeds in government.

McCormack was reared in Greenwich, Conn., the son of a successful New York lawyer, who had grown up poor, and a mother from a storied family.

His maternal ancestors first made money as papermakers in early 18th-century New England and then in a gunpowder business that rivaled the DuPonts'.

McCormack's great-grandfather founded the Northern Trust Company Bank in Chicago and, with his sons, started Illinois Tool Works, a Fortune 500 company. ....

...He began fundraising for Obama, to the point that he has a little trouble remembering just what he has done. For example, he's not sure he actually raised another $50,000 for the inaugural committee, as it claims.

Still, he added with a smile and a tap of his pipe, "I'm willing to take credit for it."
He also grins when asked what else he might seek during his trip to Washington. Does he want an ambassadorship or something?

"Well," he replied, "I want to serve on the National Endowment for the Humanities. ... I'm going to try to get an appointment to that. And, you know, being an ambassador might be fun, in the second term. I don't have time for it now."
