MNGOP spokeswoman Gina Countryman said Vice President Dick Cheney held a private fundraiser in Wayzata today to raise money for the state party's Minnesota Victory '08 fund (that's the state party's fundraising arm for federal candidates). Countryman said about 100 people attended the event at a private home. She would not release the host of the fundraiser and would only characterize the amount raised as "six-figures."
When asked if any of the federal candidates attended the event, Countryman said "I'm not aware of any federal candidates being there."
UPDATE:
A spokesman for Norm Coleman's reelection campaign said Coleman did not attend the event.
