He helped with Obama's first fundraiser after the campaign's official launch last month — a huge Chicago event that Bauer says was intended to make a statement. ‘Clearly there was a desire, an intent, by the Obama campaign to hit the ground first in Barack's hometown,' he said. ‘It was important, both for financial reasons and psychological reasons, to show that he has tremendous support from the people who know him the best.' Bauer said he knows several of the presidential candidates and decided to help Obama after a personal request from the senator. Obama contacted him around Thanksgiving to discuss a possible run for president and seek Bauer's support if he did run.”
