August is downtime in the capital, especially for fundraising soirees. But we hear political fundraising trips to pols' home states are a hot ticket. Republicans have a few slated. Try fly-fishing in Jackson Hole, Wyo., with Sen. Mike Enzi during his "A Day in the Tetons" event for a cool $2,500 a head. Or for $3,000 in political action committee bucks, head to Sen. Bob Bennett's annual "Flies & Drives" event in Park City, Utah. Democratic? Sen. Max Baucus hosts "Camp Baucus" in Big Sky, Mont., for a $5,000 pac check.
