Elle Associate Publisher Samantha Fennell Leaves Magazine For Barack Obama Campaign

Womens Wear Daily:

Another fashion insider is throwing her muscle behind the Barack Obama campaign. Elle associate publisher Samantha Fennell is leaving her position to work on fund-raising for the presumptive Democratic Party nominee. She gave her two weeks' notice on Thursday.

Fennell said she was inspired to take a more serious role in the campaign once Obama gained a majority of delegates on June 3. She attended the June 17 fund-raiser in New York organized by Calvin Klein, Anna Wintour, Shelby Bryan and André Leon Talley, and from there, made the decision to join the campaign. "It's a very entrepreneurial endeavor. It's not like you sit there and someone says, 'OK, this is how you do it,'" she said. "I've been raising money for magazines for 15 years, so I figure I can do this." Prior to joining Elle, Fennell was an advertising director at Vogue, corporate fashion director, Condé Nast Media Group, and ad manager at Teen Vogue during its test phase.

Does this mean that Michael Savage is never coming back to MSNBC?

[loper2008]

Gobama!

[unionave]

I sure hope these good people can fix voting machines . The primary vote count in NH , PEN , and NY demonstrate there is a need for more machine technicians .

Brave and Bold, Sam! Good luck!
OBAMA 2008/2012

I hope these Young White hotties are sincere and not out after the successful Black Man. You must remember Michelle obama is a Black woman.

[CindyM2008]

good grief...

[fanchon1288]

Young white hotties do not need to seek , some successful black men are looking. Their choice.

Go Samantha,
OBAMA '08

How idiotic is that comment. Don't you realize that you are setting us women back by making such outlandish statements?

Right - every white woman who works for Oabma's campaign is doing so to ensnarl him and drag him way form his wife and children...where is your mind?

[wayoutleft]

i think bill would tell him that the white house is the last place you want to be to work young white hotties.

[kellygrrrl]

welcome aboard, Samantha

I'm sure your business knowhow and fundraising expertise will be much appreciated!

[Beachrunner]

I heard Scarlett J. is joining his staff, too. Hmm . . . . .

[lorla]

When O is takiing his oath for office, this woman can stand proudly and say she helped to get him there. Even though my outreach may not have as much punch, I can say the same thing.
Overwhelmingly,
