I suspect that whatever it was, it was memorable.
At a fundraiser at the Richmond, VA Marriott tonight for the Romney campaign, there was a surprise guest. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell introduced Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who in turn introduced Rep. Paul Ryan. But before McDonnell took the mic, another figure was acknowledging dignitaries in the crowd. Among those dignitaries addressed from the stage, was former Virginia Gov. Douglas Wilder, according to a Tatler source who was there.

PS: Exactly how somebody goes to the wrong fundraiser by accident – particularly one this high-level – is left as an exercise for the interested student.
Doug Wilder is a decent man and has been a worthy adversary in Virginia. I think his epiphany came when he was mayor of his home city, Richmond, and experienced first hand the corruption and self-dealing of the Democrats who control the place from top to bottom. His battles with City Council were epic.
I have no doubt that it was NOT an accident.
If Gov. Wilder goes on FOX, has this big epiphany, and shows up for a Romney/Ryan fundraiser, then he should change his political affiliation. PERIOD!
