Bristol couple among sponsors for Paul Ryan

Among the sponsors of Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's fundraising swing through West Hartford on Sunday are two Bristol residents, Wally Barnes and Barbara Hackman Franklin, folrmer U.S. Secretary of Commerce. The city's former congresswoman, Nancy Johnson, is also a sponsor.

Thinking of going? Well, technically it's too late. And it costs at least $1,000 to get in the door. Ouch. Let me say, too, that major Democratic fundraisers are just as exclusive. Nobody can run a presidential campaign on $10 pasta dinners.
