Obama makes an Atlanta date
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
At the end of last night’s post about Gov. Bill Richardson’s visit, we mentioned the ATL might be seeing more Democratic presidential candidates by the end of the month. Since then the cat has jumped out of the bag and into our email box.
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama has scheduled a March 26 fundraiser at a location still to be announced. Tickets for a 5:30 p.m. VIP reception will be $2,300, with a $500-a-ticket kickoff reception to follow.
We’ve also heard, but haven’t confirmed, that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton will be here March 19.
It would be interesting to know, by the way, where Atlanta ranks both in terms of the number of fundraisers by ’08 hopefuls and the money raised here. We think it would be pretty high on both lists.
