Earlier this evening, I had the pleasure of attending the National Republican Senatorial Committee's Majority Celebration in Washington, DC. It turned out to be a great event, and the committee raised a good deal of much needed funds for the final six week push to victory. The melt-in-your-mouth beef and heart attack-inducing chocolate cake weren't bad either. I even got to bust a move (to the horror of all present) while the band played "Guantanamera." Que divertido! And for the record, George Voinovich cut up the rug with his lovely wife (but not to "Guantanamera").
Many of the Senate Republicans were in attendance (few of which also "busted moves"), including many of the party's most endangered incumbents. Nevertheless, the mood among the donor base was chipper and optimistic, and the checkbooks got a solid workout. Additionally, the Vice President gave a great speech on elections, and Liddy Dole delivered a nice tribute in honor of outgoing Majority Leader Frist. Even a cynical conservative like myself found it hard to not enjoy being a Republican for the evening.
But for now, I desperately need to get out of this monkey suit and iron a shirt for work in the morning. Sleep well, conservatives, knowing full-well that the Senate (and yours truly) raised money and partied hard for a very worthy cause.
