Come On Down

I just got an email from Howard Dean urging me to buy tickets to the Sanford/Hunt dinner, an annual fundraiser for the North Carolina Democratic Party. And you know, I wouldn't mind going.

But for the two and a half years I been in NC, I can't recall any of these big fundraising events being held in Charlotte. I realize the Party is based in Raleigh, but Charlotte is the biggest and richest city in the state. I doubt I'm the only Democrat here that wouldn't mind shelling out for a ticket, but isn't going to do that if it means also spending several hours in the car going back and forth.
