Fun fundraising

We got a late evening message from a friend about an Obama/Biden fundraising party, so hied ourselves down to it. Nice bunch of people, almost all quite a bit younger than we; one woman was about ten years older, retired and into grandkids. Our friend is the daughter of a friend our age, with whom I share an abhorrance of just about any GOPer I've met or read about lately. I figure if they cleave to their candidates these days, they're in the irrational base department. Strange, as I am basically fiscally conservative, you'd think there'd be some Repubs with whom there'd be overlap. A mythical creature.
