Howard Wilkinson reports:

Only about 20 people were seated in the dining room when the meal was served. Most of the guests were in an adjacent room waiting for the chance to go through a receiving line where they would shake hands with the First Lady.

Chabot's aides are saying they expect about 150 people to attend and the luncheon, which was rescheduled from an earlier date in August, will raise about $170,000 - much of that raised earlier in the summer.

They've got "what looks like Swiss steak with some kind of mashed-up sweet potatoes," Wilkinson reports.
