Dinah posted this info in the other thread which proves that the excuse that they didn’t want to ‘politicize’ the event is bogus. They don’t have any problem with honoring dem and rino politicians! This is just about the slimiest thing I’ve seen a democrat do in a long long time. Klein should be pillored for this crap.

Crist builds support, raises money in Fort Lauderdale

Updated at 2:40 p.m. with additional comments from Crist.
With his transformation from Republican to no party affiliation candidate for U.S. Senate, Charlie Crist is feeling the love from the Democratic quarters of Broward’s business and legal community.
More than 150 people, checks in hand (or suit jacket pockets or purse) showed up for a midday Wednesday Crist for Senate fundraiser at the O Lounge adjacent to Las Olas Boulevard’s trendy YOLO restaurant. The room was packed; about 60 people had RSVP’d for the event.
Crist acknowledged the importance of Wednesday’s fundraiser, which fell on the last day of the quarter and a deadline for contributions to show up on the next round of finance reports. Pundits will use the quarterly totals to judge the impact of his decision to leave the Republican Party and pursue the no party route to the Senate and his credibility as a candidate.
Crist was the headliner, but the event was put on by Democrats for (mostly) Democrats. The co-hosts of the event were Property Appraiser Lori Parrish and state Rep. Ari Porth, D-Coral Springs, chairman of the Broward Legislative Delegation.
The fundraiser-organizer for the event, Stephanie Toothaker, a lawyer at Ruden McClosky, has long been involved in Democratic politics. She worked in government and on campaigns for former Florida U.S. Sen. Bob Graham and on legal teams for the John Kerry and Barack Obama presidential campaigns.
