Fred - a featured speaker wanna bet all the 'declared' candidates aren't grinding their teeth.
They are attending an event at the Marriott huh? I hear the Marriott is a great hotel. Top notch board of directors if you ask me.

LOL! And now that Lawrence Small has resigned in disgrace over his mismanagement of the Smithsonian Institution (you know it's bad when the Senate takes action before the board of directors!), he should have more time to focus on his Marriott position. :-)
I work here, and actually the President of the United States is coming... and it is a beautiful hotel
