Indian Hill turning blue (Part 3)

Barbara Gould is at it again.

Gould, who has become one of the most prodigious fundraisers for Democrats in this part of the country, is determined to make her Republican neighbors dyspeptic by dragging as many high-profile Democrats through the tree-lined roads of Indian Hill as possible.

This time, it is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, along with Ohio's freshman senator, Sherrod Brown, who will be drawing the Democratic high-rollers to Gould's home, for a May 20 fundraiser for the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee.

And we do mean high rollers. You could buy a very nice hybrid car for what some people are going to pay to get into this event.

Tickets prices start at $2,500, but those are the cheap seats. Persons who would like to be "sponsors" will shell out $5,ooo. Those who want to bear the title of "vice chair" will pony up $10,000; and for $28,500, you an call yourself a "chair" at the event.

Pretty expensive chair.
