US ELECTION NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE (ANAHEIM)

I received an email from my good friend Bruno Serato who owns the Anaheim White House restaurant. He plans quite a party on November 4, election day in the United States, but it has a twist -- both Democrats and Republicans will be attending. Good stuff Bruno to focus on those things that bring people together like a great meal at your restaurant.



Two years ago I was privileged to be Bruno's guest along with model Leighton Stultz for a few days while he was working on his coffee table book "Temptation at the White House" Bruno is a most gracious host and I count my stay there among the most memorable moments of my life -- and the food at the restaurant, simply magnificent. And Bruno, I see that the lemon tarts are included in the Democrats' menu. Great!

Suspense and excitement particularly at AnaheimWhite House. We will be hosting a "Race to The White House" featuring live coverage of the election proceedings on TV screens and four-course Obama vs. McCain menus that allows our guests to support their favorite candidate. The fun begins at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 4.

The prix fixe menus, four courses features such items as John McCalamari and Sarah Palin pasta e fagioli soup on the Republican menu and the more "left leaning" BarackO-Chicken and Joe Biden veal.

You can view both menus below. The evening is intended to be a good-natured event with guests from either end of the political spectrum coming together to celebrate our freedom to vote and the spirit of the electoral process.



Like Bruno says, "Where better to hold an Election Night celebration than at the White House!" Call for Reservations to (714) 772-1381

OBAMA CLEAR WINNER ON MYSPACE!!!

It's no contest between Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama and his GOP counterpart John McCain. Obama is the overwhelming winner. In fact when one looks at the main profile pages of the two, it looks like McCain is there simply because someone told him he should be.

The Obama page http://www.myspace.com/barackobama provides visitors with all kinds of useful information including video clips - and there are separate Myspace pages for students, women, Latinos, First Americans, Obama Pride, veterans and others. It had been updated most recently of October17 with information on early voting. The Obama site also has map of the US where you can join your state's Obama Myspace. There were 735 652 friends and 118 444 messages on October 19.

On the other hand http://www.myspace.com/johnmccain appears to have been last updated on September 8 with information about early voting starting in Ohio on September 30. Not much else there really. McCain's page had 182 725 friends on October 19.

To an outside observer the difference shows the huge generational gap between Obama and McCain, with Obama maximizing the potential of the popular social networking site. McCain looks out of touch with the 21st Century

Take a look for yourself.
