Besides Rove, Condoleezza Rice, James Baker III, John McCain, Beth Myers, Bobby Jindal, Bob McDonnell, Paul Ryan, John McCain, former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, and Jeb Bush were all in attendance. The price of admission to the retreat? Only donors who gave $50,000 or raised $100,000 were welcome, and even then they had to pay their own way there. The three day retreat featured panels and discussions designed to entertain conservative donors. Rice gave a speech about foreign policy that was apparently very critical of the President and received rave reviews. Nearly 800 people attended.
Romney, to his credit, knows how to put on a show. The retreat was hosted at hotels along the Utah mountains that played host to the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, the ones he left Bain Capitol to run. At the end of one Romney speech, Olympic skiers did backflips off ski jumps into hotel pools to entertain the party guests.
