So who got to go to the <$NoAd$> Bamboozlepalooza event in New Jersey today?

Says Gannet …

Among those organizations [receiving tickets to distribute] are the chambers of commerce in Hunterdon and Union counties, the Somerset County Business Partnership and the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, Bird said. Those groups distribute their allotment at their discretion, she said.

Organizations representing seniors, many of whom oppose the president’s plan, did not receive tickets. Bird said that’s because many seniors were among those who called in and are receiving individual tickets. The list of invitees includes firefighters, the families of military personnel serving in Iraq and the Democratic mayors of Fanwood and Summit, she said.
