It is quite a coup for our neck of the woods to land a fundraiser for a top candidate for president. Usually they don't make it any further into Idaho than Boise or Sun Valley. It does seem to me that Rudy is more socially liberal than the majority of the Republican Party here. So it smarts a little to see it sponsored by some of my (and my late husbands) close friends: John, Harry and Colleen Magnuson and Rocky and Mary Watson. But I suspect that alot of them, as Duane Rasmussen stated, just want to meet a front running candidate or feel like Marshall Chesrown does by saying he doesn't know how he'll vote yet and wants to see what Guiliani is like in person. So party on.
