Tom Ridge visits Vegas

It may not have been as overtly interesting as attending the Culinary Union’s endorsement news conference or analyzing the New Hampshire primary results, but an amazingly eclectic group of locals gathered with ex-Homeland Security boss Tom Ridge in Las Vegas on Wednesday to talk about global engagement. The meeting took place at The World Market Center and featured a bipartisan group of elected officials as well as business, gaming and academic types. The objective is to get the presidential candidates to focus on ways to reach out across the globe to promote security, prosperity and morality. Sounds touchy-feely just like the ONE campaign does. But wouldn’t it be pretty if they actually paid attention?
