These kinds of donors are generally looking for access, influence, and power. They were already among the Clintons' in-crowd so they had reason to believe that their voices would be heard (and may already be “owed” consideration for prior support) rather than their checks merely cashed. Whether Obama can convince them to pony up will depend on his ability to convince them it's in their interest, if that's something he wants to expend energy and political capital on.

Would they go to McCain? Yes, but ONLY if they thought he could win (and that it might be in their interest), and that jury is still out.
