As Thanksgiving rolls around next week, we should all honor the things and people we appreciate most in life. Take the time to count your blessings, share time with loved ones and pray for world peace. Or, you know, do what everyone else does: Eat way more than you should, watch way more football than you should, and fall asleep on the couch way earlier than you should. Nothing more American than that! Unfortunately for Party Time, it looks like politicians will be busy doing the same thing next week, leaving our database as empty as Hostess' bank account (goodbye, ...
Partiers, you know we love a good bash, and no one has been more energetic in recent months than Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. That's why they were the top two partiers of 2012! But even we have to wonder - could they have partied toohard? Look at the record and you can't help but wonder whether the different fundraising styles of the president and his unsuccessful Republican challenger may have affected the outcome in swing states and thereby, the race for the White House.

With the placid weather in D.C. right now, one wouldn't expect Hurricane Sandy to be hitting the East Coast in less than 24 hours - a force so devastating it's been dubbed "Frankenstorm" and even "More Perfect Than the Perfect Storm."

The potential destruction of the hurricane already has had an impact on the political world: ...
Well, Partiers, it looks like it's finally happening - the party is winding down. People are clearing out, the fridge is nearly bare, and the last bag of chips has been reduced to mere crumbs. Even the lobbyists left. But it's not quite time to start the big clean up just yet. With the election just a couple weeks away, politicians are amping up their campaign efforts in a last ditch effort to persuade every undecided voter. This is true up to the highest level, as both the Romney and Obama camps have noted that their candidates will not be ...
Updated 8/21 It's going to be another slow week as we lead up to the Republican National Convention, Party Timers, with just over 20 events in the database. But the presidential tickets are busy. Here are the highlights: Ballin' with Obama: Two of the president's campaign committees are holding eight events between them this week, both of them playing up on Obama's known love for the sport and offering sponsors the chance to shoot hoops or meet some of basketball's greatest stars. Obama for America starts of the week with a grassroots fundraiser on Tuesday at a private home in ...
