Party Time has discovered at least eight cross-country fundraisers taking place overt he next two months where the beneficiary isn’t just “Cory Booker” or “Newark Mayor Booker” — it’s his FEC-approved committee “Cory Booker for Senate.”

“Indifference awaits Mitt Romney Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference as he delivers his first public speech since election night,” Politico reports.

“The base moved on four months ago, and most Republican activists don’t really care what their failed nominee thinks any more. The apathy that pervades the halls at the Maryland resort hosting the meeting is borne not so much from hostility as a desire to turn the page.”

President Obama pledged in a private meeting with Senate Republicans on “to challenge his own party on entitlement reform,” The Hill reports.

“He also asked Republicans not to believe conspiracy theories that he is pushing a deficit deal as part of a strategy to help Democrats capture the House.”

Speaker John Boehner suggested that “candidates and personalities – not Republican proposals on Medicare and spending cuts – contributed to Republican losses in November, as he vowed to press forward with a House budget plan that renews the push to shrink the government,” the New York Times reports.

In short, Boehner said “the election losses would not deter his party from pressing its vision of reducing the size of government and turning government health care programs largely over to the private sector.”

Said Boehner: “There are a lot of things that decide an election, especially the two candidates that you have, the personalities that they have, positions they have taken.”
