Interns Attend McCain Victory Dinner

Last night was the night we’d all been waiting for! It was our very first gop event of the summer, and a exceptional one at that! Senator McCain and Governor Romney teamed up for a victory reception right in our very own backyard at the Westin Copley.

Ten Mass Gop interns joined dozens of fellow republicans to serve as volunteers during registration and the reception. We aided in check-in, meet and greet and the donation collection. For those of you who have not yet sent your checks in, you can look forward to a lovely conversation with an intern! All of that phone banking is going to come in very handy!

The mass reception room was filled with the energy of over 700 generous donors. The extra generous donors even received a souvenir photo op with McCain. A few of our interns even snuck a few “clicks” as the McCain staffers called it. Check out a few of these candids from the night...


The interns dressed to impress!

As close as we got to the man of the hour!


After registration we got to sneak in and hear McCain speak a little about his campaign and plans for gaining votes over the next 6 months. McCain’s speech was followed by mingling amongst Republicans and getting to know the party members in the community. We would like to give a special thanks to Tara for giving us this wonderful opportunity to get hands on experience on the campaign trail.
