When Mitt Romney arrives Thursday at the gates of Teton Pines, a majestic Wyoming country club where captains of industry flock each summer to golf on an Arnold Palmer-designed course, his purpose will be greater than spending another evening separating rich people from their money.
Romney will be taking a big step toward becoming the official head of the Republican Party, as the presumptive presidential nominee is feted at a $30,000-a-couple dinner at the home of Dick Cheney, the living thread connecting the past five Republican presidencies.

A slate of prominent conservative rainmakers are joining Cheney in hosting the event, including Foster Friess, an investment manager who bankrolled a pro-Rick Santorum super PAC that attacked Romney during the primaries; John R. Miller, a beef company executive; and L.E. Simmons, president of a private-equity firm with large oil investments.

Thursdays dinner at Cheneys home in Wilson, just outside of Jackson Hole, coupled with an earlier reception at the Teton Pines Country Club is expected to raise more than $2 million, according to a top Romney fundraiser.

Hey Swiss Mitt, have you heard the expression, 'never shake hands with a war criminal'? What? Too late?
