Richardson's group has signed up overseas supporters and planned a series of community dinners and a potluck in honor of the Inauguration.

...every photo-op turned out quite as it had been planned, however. A potluck supper at a farmhouse in Kempton that had been built by one of Obama's great-uncles (who had been a member of the Indiana legislature), on land that had once been bought by his great-great-great-great grandfather, had to be canceled after the weather turned frigid and gale-force gusts defeated the campaign's efforts to set up tables.
