Obama fundraiser this week at home of recount lawyer – who represented Bush
by Dara Kam | August 22nd, 2011

Barry Richard, the lawyer who was instrumental in keeping Al Gore out of the White House a decade ago, is hosting a fundraiser for President Obama at his Tallahassee home on Wednesday.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Congresswoman from South Florida, will be the guest star at the fundraiser (suggested donations are $100) at the home of Richard and his wife Allison Tant. Wasserman Schultz served in both the state House and Senate before going to Washington.

Richard, a silver-haired Democrat, was a key figure in the historic recount legal battle known as “Bush vs. Gore,” arguing on behalf of George W. Bush all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

1. Sounds like Richard is a Democrat. Maybe he feels guilty about

taking the case

2. That could be. When I read that he fought for Bush...well ya know...n/t

3. Lawyers do not let ideology affect whether they take cases. It's all a matter of arguing the law. nt

8. Another case - Robert Luskin, the guy who saved Karl Rove's bacon

during Plamegate. Apparently a solid liberal Democrat in real life.

5. A chunk of DU has no problem with certain former GOP/GOP associates

such as Cenk Uygur, Ed Schultz, Jane Hamsher, John Avarosis and Glenn Greenwald. Why is the President put under the microscope when it's OK to take all these others at their word?

6. Is this the same guy who represented gays' marriage rights in California?
