Hey, isn’t that. . . ?: Rob Lowe; Joe Biden

His large, lively group took a table in the back but fans still found him and wandered over to get their photos with him. Unclear what brought him back to town or if he’s still hoping to get that D.C.-reality show, “Potomac Fever,” off the ground.

Newt Gingrich: Romney ‘carpet-bombing’ opponents

Newt Gingrich escalated the negative campaigning between himself and GOP rival Mitt Romneyon Sunday, scrambling to blunt the Massachusetts governor’s momentum two days before the Florida primary.

Gingrich, trailing Romney in polls released Sunday, repeated his claim that Romney is a liar and vowed to stay in the race until the end as he

“I don’t know how you debate a person with civility if they’re prepared to say things that are just plain factually false,” Gingrich said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”

Gingrich, who won the endorsement of former candidate Herman Cain over the weekend, said “the conservatives are clearly rejecting Romney” and claimed the mantle as the race’s true conservative candidate.

Gingrich also renewed his complaints about the Romney campaign’s negative attacks on him, financed by what Gingrich called wealthy backers from Wall Street investment banks.

“He has a basic policy of carpet-bombing his opponents,” Gingrich said on ‘Fox News Sunday,” conceding that he might lose the Florida contest.

But, speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” he presented himself as the true conservative candidate in the GOP primary race, saying conservatives “are clearly rejecting Romney.” He pledged that the race would “go on all the way to the convention.”

“We’re seeing the conservative moment start to come together,” Gingrich said on Fox. “I think it’s going to be very close. We have tremendous effort under way to reach out to the conservatives.”

Texas Rep. Ron Paul has invested little in the Florida contest and campaigned over the weekend in Maine, which holds caucuses next Saturday. Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, he vowed to stay in the race despite his focus on small caucus states.

“We’re going to stay in and see what comes of it,” Paul said, acknowledging that his campaign has less money than some of his rivals.

“It is a rough road competing with establishment money,” he said.

Rick Santorum’s children take his place on the campaign stage in Florida

Sarasota, Fla.— A Rick Santorum campaign event here Sunday opened with a moment of silence for his daughter, Bella, who is hospitalized in Philadelphia. Santorum canceled his Sunday campaign events to be with her.

Standing in for her father, Santorum’s eldest child, Elizabeth, 20,
A supporter of Republican presidential hopeful and former senator Rick Santorum wears a pin with a photo of Bella Santorum that reads reads "Go Dad! Love, Bella" during an appearance in Iowa earlier this month. (Andrew Burton - GETTY IMAGES) rallied a Sarasota crowd of supporters gathered in an airport hangar saying that her dad was “exercising his most important role, which is being a dad.”

“This is not the easiest course for our family,” she said. “But we knew that it would be worth it because America is worth it.”

On the stump, the former Pennsylvania senator has often talked about his family--he is the father of seven. Bella, 3, suffers from Trisomy 18, a genetic disorder that causes severe mental and physical developmental problems. Aides said Santorum will return to the trail as soon as possible, but there has been no update on Bella’s condition.

Members of the Duggar family, of reality TV fame, joined Santorum’s daughter on stage. The Duggars, who have 19 children, have been touring Florida in their family bus which is stenciled with “Rick Santorum for President.”

They plan to fill in for Santorum at an event in Punta Gorda later this afternoon.

Santorum has all but conceded the race here, acknowledging that he has neither the money nor organization to compete in the massive state, where about 2 million Republicans will cast ballots in Tuesday’s primary. The winner will get all 50 delegates.

Santorum has no ads on television or radio in Florida, and it’s unclear whether he will here election night. While his conservative, blue-collar message is popular here and he has drawn decent-size crowds, he has not had the kind of presence in this state to get that message out.

After a strong debate performance Thursday in Jacksonville, he added events to his schedule, but returned home this weekend to get his taxes together.

Since his daughter took ill, he has not returned, though he has a tele-town hall scheduled with Florida Republicans Sunday night.

Polls show him trailing Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich badly.

Campaign aides insist that he has no immediate plans to drop out of the race.

Elizabeth Santorum, who has taken a year off from college, urged the crowd to show up for her dad.

“You have three days left, let’s take this all the way,” she said.

Inami Winds quintet caps performance with klezmer — and it’s a blastSmaller TextLarger TextText SizePrintE-mailReprints By Joan Reinthaler,

Of all the tools in the arsenal that the Imani Winds quintet weld so skillfully, perhaps the two most powerful are the ability to get into the heart of each piece’s cultural core and the gift of communicating the joy of making music together. Nothing brought this home more clearly than the rollicking finale of the ensemble’s concert Friday at the Atlas Performing Arts Center on H Street NE.

Having recently absorbed klezmer into its multicultural repertoire, the group blew the place apart with a pair of klezmer dances, which were milked for every bit of drama. They were led by clarinetist Mariam Adam, who evoked enough human-sounding wailing, achingly cool slow-dance rhythms and uninhibited emoting to delight even the most rabid klezmer fans.

President Obama cracks jokes at elite Alfalfa Club dinner

Well, look who decided to come around! President Obama, whose White House years have been marked by a careful avoidance of so many black-tie Beltway traditions, attended the most elite of them all, the annual Alfalfa Club dinner, on Saturday.

Why? In his remarks at the Capital Hilton, to political and business heavyhitters who’d walked a gantlet of Occupy D.C. protesters to make it to their steak-and-lobster meal, the president explained:

“You’ve heard it from the pundits: ‘Obama is cloistered in the White House.’ ‘He’s aloof.’ ‘He’s in the bubble.’ ‘He’s not connecting.’ And that’s why one of my big goals this year was to get out and be among everyday, ordinary Americans — like the men and women of the Alfalfa Club.”

Ha ha! How everyday-ordinary were they? “I’d like to acknowledge a very good friend of mine,” he added, according to excerpts of his speech released by the White House. “Warren Buffett’s secretary’s boss is in the house.

Yes, it’s one of those jocular affairs. Obama also joked that he had “about 45 more minutes on the State of the Union that I’d like to deliver tonight,” and mused about his own “promising future — as an Al Green impersonator.”

It was the first time since 2009 that the president had attended the officially-off-the-record (but traditionally leaky) A-list conclave. But maybe he’s starting to like this stuff more? Last spring he attended his first Gridiron Dinner — a white-tie, elite media gala — since becoming president.

He was accompanied by the first lady, wearing something long, flowing and possibly red, according to a dispatch from a White House pool reporter who couldn’t get a good look in the dark.

Among the other VIPs reported to be in attendance: John Boehner, Mike Bloomberg, John Kerry, Pat Leahy, Steny Hoyer, Mark Warner, Steve Case, Cal Ripken and José Andrés.

And Jeb and George H.W. Bush, frequent Alfalfa attendees, who spent time visiting with Obama on Friday afternoon.

A hallmark of the annual dinner is the club’s jokey “nomination” of a VIP guest as its candidate for president — this year, the former Florida governor.

“It is great to see Jeb Bush, who is accepting a nomination for President tonight,” Obama said. “I have to say, though, it’s not fair to tease your friends like that.”

What is the Alfalfa Club anyway? A power-broker’s fraternity (and sorority, now, since it admitted women in 1994) that now exists solely for the purpose of hosting this dinner. Always held on the last Saturday in January, it was founded in 1913 to honor the birthday of, er, Robert E. Lee. That fact gave Obama a decent zinger the last time he addressed the club in 2009. “If he were with us tonight, the general would be 202 years old,” the president joked, just days after his own historic inauguration. “And very confused.”

Updated. An earlier version of this story was published at 12 a.m.

D.C. United plays 0-0 draw with Chicago Fire in MLS preseason opener

D.C. United opened its preseason schedule with a 0-0 draw against the Chicago Fire on Sunday at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Fla.

Four players returning from injury missed the match — defender Ethan White, midfielders Chris Pontius and Nick DeLeon, and forward Josh Wolff. Midfielder Kurt Morsink returned to Washington after suffering an injury in training this past week. Goalkeeper Bill Hamid, on U.S. national team duty the past four weeks, was scheduled to report to camp Sunday night.

Dwayne De Rosario, the 2011 MLS most valuable player, was held out. He is not injured and seems likely to make his 2012 debut Thursday against Swedish club Malmo in Bradenton, Fla.

Argentine center back Emiliano Dudar, United’s latest signing, played 35 minutes in the second half.

Joe Willis played 74 minutes in goal, with trialist Andrew Dykstra finishing the match. Another goalkeeping trialist, Josh Lambo, didn’t play.

United is expected to update its list of trialists by Monday. Forward Alanzo Adlam, a trialist from Jamaica, was cut this weekend.

For United’s lineup on Sunday.....

D.C. United, First half: Joe Willis; Robbie Russell (Chris Korb 31th), Brandon McDonald, Dejan Jakovic, Daniel Woolard; Andy Najar, Perry Kitchen, Ryan Richter*, Branko Boskovic (Stephen King 31st); Blake Brettschneider, Maicon Santos (Stefan Jerome* 43rd).

Second half: Joe Willis (Andrew Dykstra* 74th); Chris Korb (Charles Rodriguez* 64th), Sebastian Svard*, Emiliano Dudar (Josey Portillo**, 80th), Jed Zayner*; Seth C’deBaca*, Marcelo Saragosa*, Ryan Richter* (Conor Shanosky 64th), Stephen King; Blake Brettschneider (Lance Rozeboom* 71st), Stefan Jerome*.

‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’: Harman Hall musical, if not trippy, is worth the tripSmaller TextLarger TextText SizePrintE-mailReprints By Nelson Pressley,

It’s fair to think of the 1971 Tony-winning musical “Two Gentlemen of Verona” as “Hair II”: same composer (Galt MacDermot), same gestalt (antiwar, pro-sex, whirling hippies, whoo!).

Glow sticks were being handed out at the door over the weekend for the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s giggly concert version of the show, although that seems about as close to trippy as director Amanda Dehnert wanted to get. The performance, which closed Sunday, was not especially Day-Glo vibrant or free-love lusty — and from “Night Letter” to “Hot Lover,” the quick-hitting rock tunes percolated with pheromones. But it was a flip, frisky evening and often wonderfully sung.
