Obama Lists Iowa Women Supporters

Obama Lists Iowa Women Supporters

Taking the battle of identity politics to rival Hillary Clinton's strongest turf, Barack Obama's campaign Thursday released a list of 82 Iowa women who are backing the Illinois Senator.

Last month the Clinton campaign released a 100 name statewide "Women's Leadership Council" that included five legislators and at least three current members of city government

Obama's list is not as full of elected officials as Clinton's. Elected officials backing Obama include Scott County auditor Karen Fitzsimmons, Amy Correia of the Iowa City council, and former Wapello County attorney Vicki Siegel.
