$200
The cost for a bleacher seat at the “modified Lincoln-Douglas debate” between Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich — not televised — hosted by the Texas Tea Party Patriots at the Woodlands Resort in Houston. The next step up, the $500 ticket, gets you “prime seating” and a ticket to the “Nite Cap party after the Debate,” … And for really high rollers, $1,000 will get you “the best seating in the house for the debate” and “a professional picture taken with the candidates.” There’s no word if the candidates are getting paid for their appearance, but Dave Weigel, who first broke the story, reports proceeds will go to the Tea Party Patriots group.
