Canned goods for at least -- oh, maybe 100 people? I think it was great for all those Republicans to dust off those old cans of white asparagus and pickled mushrooms and cream of celery soup that have been stuffed in the back of their pantries for three or four years and bring them to the Romney non-campaign event to be transported by bus over swamped, impassible roads to a few dozen people who wouldn't eat that crap if they still had some dog food.
