Paul Ryan to visit Philly for Union League fundraising dinner Tuesday

Presumptive Republican vice-presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan is headed to Philadelphia tomorrow for a 5:30pm dinner at the Union League, a club representative has confirmed. The down-to-earth event is $50,000-a-plate, according to society photographer and gossip maven Hugh Dillon.

The Union League's old money charm will likely provide Ryan a warmer welcome than presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney received during a much-protested visit to West Philly in May. Though I do suspect demonstrators will manage to track Ryan down in Center City.

Before dinner, the congressman will stop by the American Helicopter Museum & Education Center in West Chester. The event, before a backdrop of seriously manly and tough-looking aerial hardware, is billed (perhaps somewhat prematurely) as a "victory rally."
