Romney to Hold Fundraiser in Pentagon City

by Katie Pyzyk

Pentagon City will likely be buzzing with extra security tomorrow evening, because Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be holding a fundraiser there.

The event at the Pentagon City Ritz Carlton is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. with a VIP photo reception. Following that, several roundtable meetings will take place on topics central to Romney’s campaign, including tax reform policy and global competitiveness. There will be a general reception afterward.

The former Massachusetts governor’s event packs a hefty price tag. It’s $2,500 to attend just the general reception, and $10,000 to be a part of the photo reception. Those who want to join in the roundtable talks have to raise $10,000 in primary funds, $20,000 in general funds, or donate $10,000.

I'm amazed at the price tag.

No actually I am not. That said think about it: he'll say exactly what you want him to say for the right amount of money.

I wasn't aware there was a Ritz Carlton in Pentagon City. Guess Crystal city is slummin for him?

ETA: I wish he would go to Crystal city, I'm sure Freddies would LOVE him.

We could tell him about Crystal city restaurant... NOT to be confused with the amazing sports pub.
