Obama Coming to New York

Barack Obama's first events in New York City since announcing his presidential run will be on March 9, according to one of the event organizers, Arthur Leopold.

The first is a pricey get-together (suggested contribution: $1000-$2300) at the Grand Hyatt from 6 to 8 p.m. The second is a less formal gathering of supporters at The Grand for only $100 a head.

Something tells me that Barack will slowly, but surely out raise Hillary. It's going to be a LOT of fun, to say the least. I wonder how close Obama would come to Hillary in a New York Primary.

Thoughts?

Arthur Leopold managed Congresswoman Maloney's campaign. Its rather interesting to see such a should-be, would-be Hillary supporter join the Obama camp.

I wonder what Maloney has to say about it all!

You just gotta love New York politics!

I have worked with Arthur in the Past he does a great Job. I find it funny myself that he would go to Obama. However in my opinion Obama is a much much better candidate. It is too bad that most New Yorkers are all about Hillary. If your interested in this event Contact Arthur he will have tickets for the events coming up, should be a lot of fun.
