This article at Politico about Republicans getting out of Washington DC for the inauguration and holding an event in Las Vegas caught my eye:
"What better way to mark the Obama Inauguration (and his millions of adoring fans that will be in D.C.) than to get out of town to fabulous Las Vegas!" Charlie Spies, a Republican lawyer and former CFO to Mitt Romney's campaign wrote in a blast e-mail to GOP friends. "We hope you can join us for dinner and a fun evening on Monday, Jan. 19, to celebrate the last few hours of our Republican president in the White House."Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...Spies and his wife Lisa, a Republican fundraiser, have gotten about 15 takers so far for this last supper or, as they billed it in the e-mail, their own "Inaugural in Exile."
