Just out of curiosity....

1. Don't think so...
All the reports I've read don't say a thing about any Repub leaders attending. The Clintons were there as was Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton, along with Gov. Granholm, mayor of Detroit, members of the Congressional Black Caucus, civil rights leaders and other dignitaries. But no Republicans... They're too busy these days fighting indictments & wars and don't have time to honor a black woman who started a movement...

3. A lot of them showed up at her memorial in D.C.
Condi Rice was one of them.

4. They just wanted to be seen riding her coattails.
Getting on camera in D.C. was all they needed.
