I missed out on a pretty cool opportunity

My wife got an e-mail from the Hillary Clinton campaign inviting us to a gathering today. She just glossed over it thinking that it would be a "normal" campaign type event and didn't let me know until a short while ago.

Now, about 15 minutes later, we find that the event wasn't just a run of the mill campaign event.

Hillary Clinton welcomed her entire campaign staff to a party at her home in Georgetown today, hosting about 500 people in the back yard by the swimming pool. All morning, workers brought tables, food, and bags of ice through the side gate, assisted by Secret Service agents. Valets helped park cars to keep them off the quiet one-way street.

Guests began arriving at 2pm. Dressed in khakis and a white blouse, Hillary Clinton greeted them in the back, mingling and saying her thank you?s along with her husband. Chelsea was there for the kick-off, but left with two staff members to thank Clinton supporters in Texas at the state?s Democratic convention tonight.

National campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe stopped by to say hi to reporters staked out outside the house, saying Hillary?s feeling great since she got off the trail. As for what?s next? ?She will do anything she can to help Barack Obama,? he said. ?If he wants her to travel every day, she?ll do that.?

Now, I'm hoping that Hillary never got "pool ready", but it would have been cool to have met her and Bill in that type of setting.

Even if I am supporting Obama.

Man you should've gone. Seems pretty A-list this even, only 500 attendees.
