Romney, Obama To Idaho Fundraisers

The presidential campaign is on its way to Idaho, with both the Republican and Democratic candidates planning major fundraisers in Sun Valley - within a two-day span. Mitt Romney has a $1,000-a-head reception scheduled for the Sun Valley area on Aug. 3, possibly followed by a high-dollar dinner; Idaho Statesman columnist Dan Popkey reported here on that event. And now it turns out that the Obama campaign will hold a  high-dollar reception and dinner in Ketchum the previous day, Aug. 2, featuring Vice President Joe Biden. The Sun Valley area is a target for national campaign fundraisers because of its high-dollar givers to both parties/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise. More here .

Question: Are you surprised that President Obama would fund raise in bright-red Idaho?
