But if past conventions are any indicator, Republicans are likely to outspend Democrats heavily at topless bars and strip clubs, says Angelina Spencer. She heads the Association of Club Executives, an organization for the nation's 4,000 "gentleman's club" owners. The group talked to members in the host cities of past conventions.
"When we compared spending," Spencer notes, "the average showed Republicans spending $150 per person at an adult club, versus Democrats, who averaged $50 a person."
Asked about the notion of Republicans patronizing strip clubs, convention spokesman James Davis told CNN, "We're focused on having a great convention and nominating Mitt Romney."

What, don’tadult clubs take EBT Cards?
The days of Caligula cycles through again...
Will Billy Klinton and Elliot Spitzer be in town?
In short, it has been quite obvious that a good portion of the GOP influence/power-base is not Fiscally Conservative.\
This story just goes to show that they are also NOT Social Conservatives.
I hear Akin say if it’s a legitimate stripper, her body has ways of attracting dollar bills.

What they do not mention, is that the democrats spend their money at homo bathouses..............
What a crock! So some reputed leader of an association that “represents” 4,000 “Gentlemen’s Clubs” spouts unverifiable stats and it is accepted as legitimate, no questions asked - including people on this thread. How is the figure of $150 vs. $50 arrived at? Are there polls conducted at the door when a convention arrives in town? If this is so legit then wouldn’t the numbers be something in the odd-numbered realm of $143 vs. $52.
This is just another example by CNN - the second in two days - of trying to paint Republican convention attendees as somehow “dirtier” than their Democrat counterparts with spurious “proof” from questionable sources using supposed stats that the most mathematically-inclined could understand the import.
BTW, "gentlemen's clubs" generally cater to heterosexual men. Betcha the Chippendales gets a lot more democrat male's dollars.
You said what I was about to post, but you said it better. This is pure BS and for CNN to air this just shows why they are doing so well.
I just want our guys, the good guys, to behave well. First because media will be scrutinizing every transgression, and second because I believe we are the better party.
And they say Republicans don’t care about single moms.
What do that do take a "POLE"
“What they do not mention, is that the democrats spend their money at homo bathouses...”
Precisely!
We can afford to tip with larger bills than singles?
That's because so few Democrats, even among the vast majority with no class, are interested in women, topless or otherwise.
Would it be possible to instill in the delegates a sense of honor? Could they be persuaded to avoid bad behavior for the duration of the convention? For the greater good?
That one made me laugh. A sense of honor among the GOP-elite? I like your imagination, but the optimism is a little over the top.
It could be that Republicans are better tippers...
Good grief....
It’s easy to tell. The GOP spends their own money.
