UPDATE: Mitt Romney will hold a rally at Somers Furniture -- see flier at right -- Tuesday afternoon to push a meme of the president as a job-destroyer before the fundraiser. The company, like many others, has been hurt by the recession.
A fundraiser in las Vegas on May 29 for presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney is designed to raise $2 million at the Trump International Hotel, according to internal campaign documents, which also reveal how one of the campaign plans to get to 270 electoral votes -- a pitch to entice donors for the event.
The invite, posted at right, indicates six tiers of possible contributions:
Event chair -- Raise $250,000
Co-chair -- Raise $50,000
Co-host -- $25,000
Photo with Romney -- $10,000
General reception ticket -- $2,500
Founding member dessert reception -- $50,000 (My favorite one: "LOCATION PROVIDED UPON COMPLETION OF $50,000 CONTRIBUTION")
According to other internal campaign documents from a Nevada finance committee briefing, as of May 8, $675,000 had been pledged for the event, which has a goal of $2 million. A pitch to donors also suggests the "3-2-1" plan, written about elsewhere, to win the presidency.
3 -- Win back the three "historically GOP" states -- Indiana, Virginia and North Carolina, worth 39 electoral votes (gets him to 219)
2--Win the two big swing states George W. Bush won -- Ohio and Florida, worth 47 electoral votes (266)
1 -- Win any of the so-called "wild-card" states -- NH, NM, NV, IA, CO, WI, MI, PA

He'll get there! Its not that easy for real people to pledge that much, as they are not the limousine liberals spending Hollywood or Grandpa's money like Obama Supporters.
In the name of Almighty GOD, Jon Ralston, the FOUR HORSEMEN OF DARKNESS (Romney, Newt, Donald Trump and Adelson) have descended on las Vegas and all you can do is talk about the desert menu?
Please save us from these fiends!
Tim Poster is hosting the dessert...
Given the bad comments the Republican party has made about Las Vegas. Its funny they would even come here to raise money!
Trash our city then show up with your hand out?
Don't give these clowns a dime !!!!!
Want to know where the money is coming from for the two leading candidates?
See who is collecting more of the "big" money and who is getting most of their money from the "everyday guy."
The reports as of March 31st are here:

You may be surprised.
The whole world is watching! Trump has taken to the brand-x birther paper to spread his hate in Las Vegas. Sandoval has failed to lead and has embraced the clown college convention.
