V-P Cheney draws HUGE crowd at Little Rock fundraiser

[LaWood]

"Even if you'd wanted to heckle him, you'd have had a hard time. The Cheneymobile pulled up to the tent you see in background so he could be transferred without detection by onlookers. Scott Street was closed to traffic.




A report from inside the sanctum sanctorum:

Attendance: 130.

Amount raised: About $100,000 (@ $250 per plate and $1,000 for a photo opp.)

Talking points: About carrying Arkansas in 2000 and 2004. How important the state is for GOP in 2008. Tax cuts. Staying on the offensive on war on terror. In praise of military.

Most of the "crowd" was probably Secret Service.
