Braving the winter weather last night, a group of young local attorneys and Alderman Kacie Starr Triplett, the local spokesperson for the Barack Obama for President campaign, came out to raise some money for the Illinois senator and talk about the importance of the upcoming Iowa primary.
Also officially coming out for Obama last night was State Senator Jeff Smith, who said it was in the interest of “domestic tranquility” that he had not come out earlier. Smith’s girlfriend, Elisabeth Smith, is a John Edwards supporter. She’s moved to Illinois to work on a Congressional campaign, leaving Jeff free to join the surging Obama campaign.
State Representative Jake Zimmerman (D-Olivette) was also in attendance.
