Well-known public radio host Garrison Keillor is hosting a fundraiser for President Obama in his home state of Minnesota.
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina will be in the North Star state this week for several events, including a fundraiser at the home of Keillor, Minnesota Public Radio reports.
Keillor is best known for the radio variety program A Prairie Home Companion, a show that features dispatches from the fictional Minnesota town Lake Wobegon. His show is produced by Minnesota Public Radio and airs on public radio stations across the country.
Keillor also endorsed Obama in 2008, saying that his election would "bring an end to a long sour chapter in our history." In response to Keillor's endorsement, Obama said in 2008, "as president, I will wake up every day thinking about how I can help make life better in places like Lake Wobegon all across the country."
