November 26, 2007 -- Chicago, IL -- On Wednesday, November 28, hundreds of women in key February 5th states will gather for events to kick off state-specific Women for Obama Leadership Committees and participate in campaign organizing activities. Michelle Obama will also lead a conference call and give a campaign update on the state of the national race for participating women.
