it gets even better :) Cause now they can't sell it out in Kansas City (come on, there are only two democratic strongholds in Missouri... St. Louis and Kansas City)
Pres. Obama is the best fundraiser the Dem Party has, but his drawing power is way down from its peak during the '08 campaign.
Obama is heading to MO and NV today to raise money for Sec/State Robin Carnahan (D), running for an open Senate seat, and Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid.
But Carnahan's campaign wasn't able to completely sell out the Folly Theater, where Obama will appear for a grassroots event on Carnahan's behalf, at the prices they wanted. Tickets once priced at $250 are now going for $99, while $35 tickets are half off.
The grassroots event at the 1,078-seat theater is expected to net $250K for Carnahan's campaign, the Kansas City Star reported today.The actual attendance figures for these two events should be _Really_ interesting to see.
So the obvious question is, why doesnt' Obama just call off the embarrassment of the attendnace, and just donate the money?
