Previously I wrote about an interesting email from the D.C.C.C., ostensibly from Nancy Pelosi herself, inviting me to enter a Sweepstakes to win the chance for me and a guest to have dinner in Los Angeles with the Speaker and President Barack Obama. I noted the irony of it was that it came just one day after U.S. District Judge, Susan Bolton, all-but-neutered Arizona’s S.B. 1070, yet the official rules say, in part:

“Sweepstakes only open to citizens of the U.S. and lawful permanent U.S. residents who are residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia…“

Well, obviously I didn’t enter the Sweepstakes, but I was quite surprised when I got a follow-up email today. The email was from a rather puzzled Jon Vogel, D.C.C.C. Executive Director. The tone seemed incredulous that I didn’t jump at the chance to try and win the dinner! From Mr. Vogel’s email:

Friend — did you see the Speaker’s email yesterday? The DCCC is offering a special opportunity to its members and top supporters for you and a guest to meet Speaker Pelosi and President Obama August 16th in Los Angeles. The deadline is quickly approaching.
