Eighteen candidates running for Arizona offices in the 2010 primary will welcome a slew of conservative policy wonks, college kids, and other free-booze hounds at tonight's "Politics on the Rocks" event at the intercontinental Montelucia Resort and Spa.
Charles A. Jensen, founder of "Politics on the Rocks" (who was in some hot water after allegations of involvement with Desert Divas last year), tweeted Monday that there were are more than 700 RSVPs to tonight's event -- let's just assume that includes all 373 members of the ASU College Republicans.
Names of the attending candidates, more event details and a quick survival guide after the jump ...
Up for Grabs:
Hoards of buttons, campaign signs (hopefully sans candidate faces), 200 free copies of Grover Norquist's (president of Americans for Tax Reform and father of the
