The Chicago area Obama fund-raising elite gather Thursday at 5:45 p.m. at the home of Sara and James Hall (a few blocks from Halsted and Armitage) for a high dollar fund-raising “special reception” with presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
The $28,500 per-person event benefits the Democratic White House Victory Fund.
The hosts are the Illinois Finance Co-Chairs Jim Crown and John W. Rogers Jr.
After that, Obama heads to the near West Side home of of Leah Missbach Day and F.K. Day for a 7:15 p.m. reception for his “Obama for America” warchest where donors are asked to give or raise $2,300.
[From Lynn Sweet: Obama headlines $28,500 per person fund-raiser Thursday in Chicago; hits two funder events in city.]
This from the guy who ostentatiously eschews all that icky money from lobbyists and PACs - you know, like the MoveOn PAC (did you know MoveOn has a PAC?) or the VoteVets.org PAC or LitPAC (oh no!), and who likes to foster the impression all his impressively enormous campaign expenditures are funded by nickels and dimes from the net.
