SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Mitt Romney's top donors are getting a chance to dine this weekend with the presidential candidate and other Republican heavyweights.

Romney is hosting a posh retreat in Park City, Utah where donors will get to attend private meetings and receptions. According to a campaign email, they'll get a chance at seeing GOP stars like Arizona Sen. John McCain, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Donors who have raised at least $50,000 for Romney's White House run, can sit in on strategy meetings that provide detailed updates of the campaign's progress.

1. With all the money that has already been given

by the billionaire donors y'think Mittens would be giving a "free" luncheon - diner event to thank them, but alas greed among the greedy, how gopper of you - LOL

[Iggy]

2. Predictable

Months ago I predicted Rmoney's VP would be Ryan or Pawlenty- nice, boring white bread guys who are not going to rob
MSM spotlight from Rmoney- as Rubio certainly would, and as Painlin did with stumpy McCain the last time round

3. note the last statement on the vid: "The event is closed to the media."

Not surprisingly, not exactly an open campaign...

4. what's mitt hiding?

5. Either this is for show, or it's desperation time in Romney's VP search

Of course, considering their presidential candidate, this was already a desperation move.

But Paul Ryan? He's presidential material like a worm is Space Shuttle pilot material. Then again....Palin....

9. if anything, Palin made more sense. She was a bone to the extra chromosome crowd

Ryan might give Romney some cred with the far right with his draconian budget stuff, but superficially, he doesn't counterbalance Romney's Thurston Howell image.

11. At this point

Probably nothing short of Archie Bunker would soften Willard's Thurston Howell image.

Of course, there IS always Louie Gohmert. We Texans have nightmares like that under the proper atmospheric conditions.

12. I had to look that guy up. Republicans love them some chinless white guys.

And when somebody like that talks about caribou having sex near pipelines, it's easy to imagine caribou getting more than him.

6. "...detailed updates on the campaign's progress."

So how is Rmoney going to spin this disaster?

He's trailing in almost every demographic and among many key groups...so how does he tell his "money people" they've wasted their investment?
!"
sort of reminds me of the story about the old Marine Company commander who told his men: "The enemy has closed in on our left flank, our right flank and is moving to our rear...we're completely surrounded...THE SOBS WON'T GET AWAY THIS TIME"

[yurbud]

7. If this is their ticket, they will have the caucasian, Ayn Rand fan demographic locked up

and that's about it.

[asjr]

8. This may turn out to be a different version of

"Come into my parlor..."

[ewagner]

10. ?? Who is the spider and who is the fly? n/t

13. $100,000 To Play A Round Of Golf With Romney

And Republican criticize Obama for playing too much golf. With Republicans is is paying too much for golf. And it shows that our government is for sale to the highest bidder. $50,000 will get you a meet and greet but it takes $100,000 to have quality time. Gotcha.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. And for $500,000 Romney will do the dance of the seven veils

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

15. Mitt will be an empty suit and a rubber stamp for the House teabaggers

and will happily sign off on their efforts to wipe out Social Security and the legacy of the New Deal.
He's just a happy face to serve as figurehead for the extremist agenda of the nutcase right.
