This was in Orange County, CA, one of the most conservative places in the country and these were two known Republicans.

One of them was a woman, a developer. She contributed $100,000 to the RNC. A lot of money then. (still is, of course).

And she told the following story: She was invited to a reception for the "Club 100."

Haley Barbour was the RNC chair and he approached her with his southern smooth accent:

"And who are you with, little lady?"

She coldly looked at him and replied: I am with the Club 100.

And that was that.
