Emanuel shifts to fundraising role for Obama
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel will target the country's biggest Democratic donors for President Barack Obama's re-election effort to try to offset the Republican Party's money advantage, a new role that means he no longer is a co-chair of the campaign, officials said Wednesday.
Emanuel's move to help Priorities USA Action, one of a new breed of super PACs that can raise unlimited contributions, was marked by interesting timing at both the national and local levels.
