The minimum is $100 to go but I'm no HRC fan.
 

For me, as a newcomer to being interested/involved in politics, part of the thrill of an event like this was seeing one of these people up close and getting to meet them. Meeting Joe Biden was worth $100. He was warm, charismatic, and a great speaker. For me, it was like meeting a celebrity. Lame, but it was. And the feeling that I left with after dinner lasted a good 2 weeks. I was excited and motivated. A friend that I went with felt the same way. I believe that creating that feeling is very important in reinvigorating the party and it needs to continue. So I say, keep the big names coming to Kentucky. We are still a red state. We need the help. I am not sure that any politician can truly connect with real Democrats. To be a politician, you need money. Most are from wealthy families. None of us have money...that's why we're not Republicans. I just remember being so disappointed (I was naive) that to meet someone like Joe Biden, President Clinton, etc. in the past, it would cost $500 or $1000 for dinner! I was elated when I heard they were making $100 tickets available. And then to drop it to $40 the week of the event! Wow! But I am easily amused...
