After New York, Obama Discovers Columbus
Barack Obama loves the small donations, but he’ll take the big ones, too. After a couple of nights of raising money in NY, he’ll be back in DC for an event Wednesday night at The Columbus Club in Union Station. Donors are encouraged to throw down $2,300, and have to pony up at least $1K.
The campaign declined to discuss “the who and how much,” but the event chairs and host committee are some well-known DC donors. See the full list after the jump. Many are former donors to ex-VA Gov. Mark Warner's PAC.
Obama will return to the $100 and $200 crowd Thursday with a Young Lawyers for Obama night at Eye Bar. They'd better NOT be lobbyist/lawyers! [PATRICK OTTENHOFF]
