Party time!

Posted at 1:17 PM on August 11, 2008 by Tom Scheck

The Sunlight Foundation has a list of the parties at the RNC and DNC conventions. Sammy Haggar, Kanye West, the Black Eyed Peas and The Beach Boys are just a few of the performers on the list.

It looks like AT&T is renting out Brits Pub in Minneapolis for the week. Anheuser Busch (along with Citi and Honeywell) are renting out McGoverns. Eli Lilly has Great Waters for a day. GOPAC is going the Chino Latino route. Target is renting out the Depot for a night.

Let's play a game -- Which Minnesota politician will appear at which party?

Where will Gov. Pawlenty appear?

How about Al Franken and Norm Coleman?

Will Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman appear at any of the GOP events?

Which issues do you think the folks at AT&T, Target, Anheuser Busch and Citi will lobby lawmakers on?

Guess away!
