"Sen. George Allen got lucky Monday night -- he snagged the GOP's biggest draw in the final stretch of his this-close Senate race. Guest of honor Laura Bush spent an hour charming 150 Allen supporters at the McLean home of Bobbie and Bill Kilberg. Virginia's senior senator, John Warner ; former transportation secretary Bill Coleman ; philanthropist George Vradenburg; and Virginia Tech President Charles Steger were spotted in the business-techie crowd at the $1,000-a-person fundraiser." (Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts, The Washington Post, October 24, 2006)
