and presumably schmoozing and "makin' the rounds" and "pressing the flesh" and all the rest, is the fact that this event doesn't seem to have been reported anywhere.
I googled the event + both "March 13" and "March 14" and can find only Politicker and a bunch of pretty obscure blogs ( like the above, which quoted Politicker).
No NY Times. No Washington Post. No NBC-ABC-CBS. No cable networks. No heavily trafficked on line news sources.... that I recognize, anyway.
Strange. Someone with better search skills may have better luck. Be my guest.
If I'm right....... 80 US senators huddling w. a little gaggle of politically active billionaires on a Friday nite in DC and no one thinks it's newsworthy.... what's THAT all about?
