Whitman was tapped on September 22nd. As best I can tell, this dinner was "last Wednesay", September 26th. Did she plan a $7,500/plate dinner in 4 days? Would Nerny rather she have cancelled it? Is this really enough reason to pillory a former politician over? I mean, up until mid-September, that was her main job. What do you do when you're a defeated politician with rich friends? Raise money. It seems a little ridiculous to jump from this fundraiser to the idea that "Whitman's political activities will accelerate along with presidential campaign. That's obvious." edit: I don't disagree that she'll still care deeply about politics, but saying they'll be priority one based on one dinner is an extrapolation of the worst kind.
