Graham ran into Romney in person shortly after arriving on Friday night at the exclusive lodge where the conference is being held. They shook hands at the top of a staircase overlooking a cocktail party that was already in full swing.

“There’s money down there Lindsey, go get it!” Romney said with a big smile. Graham smiled back, then started down the staircase.

The reporter probably didn’t notice Graham’s tail wagging or Mitt saying “good boy” under his breath.

John Kasich told the Republican donors, “you think you’re going to beat Hillary Clinton by just destroying the Clintons? You’ve got to be kidding me,” which is akin to saying that it’s not enough to simply kill Moby Dick. Carly Fiorina offered the unusual insight that “everything” about her “is different.” Scott Walker spent most of his time sequestered with potential doors but he did tell the whole group that he’d won in a blue state and that he’d only been recalled once in his one and a half terms. (Ok, he didn’t mention the recall.) Chris Christie offered that he was probably “the most psychoanalyzed national political figure in the world,” which is likely to come as quite a surprise to virtually every national political figure in the world.
