IA GOV: Lotta Hokie Fans In DC?

IA Sec/State and GOV candidate Chet Culver (D) looks to boost his warchest at a $1K per-person funder tonight at the Georgetown home of Jim Johnson, the Dem who ran Walter Mondale's campaign in '84 and headed up John Kerry's VP search in '04. Rep./Gov candidate Jim Nussle's (R-01) camp is, of course, making much hay out of the son-of-a-Senator returning to DC to raise some Beltway bucks (and in an apartment at the Ritz, no less!). But putting aside Nussle's own ties to the 202 for the moment, we got a kick out of the many big-name Dems who probably like Culver more than just because he's a nice fella who played a pretty decent Tight End for VA Tech a few years back.

Event sponsors include: Sen's Joe Biden, Chris Dodd and John Kerry, ex-Sen. Tom Daschle and ex-VA Gov. Mark Warner. Oh, and DC uberlawyer/FOB Vernon Jordan. Anybody seen Vernon in Des Moines recently?
