Mark Halperin, Ann Romney to host 'Sunrise Pilates' for GOP megadonors

Bloomberg Politics co-managing editor Mark Halperin and Ann Romney, wife of Mitt, will co-host an early morning pilates session for wealthy Republican donors at this weekend's Romney retreat in Deer Valley, Time's Zeke Miller reports.

Mitt Romney's annual retreat, dubbed the "Club Med" for GOP megadonors, takes place at the Stein Ericksen Lodge, at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. Donors are invited to participate in recreational activities with Republican presidential candidates, including flag football with Sen. Marco Rubio and skeet shooting with Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Halperin, the co-author of Game Change and former Time Magazine political analyst, is the only journalist listed on the bill of "enthusiast sessions." He and Ann Romney will co-host a "Sunrise Pilates" class for the retreat's attendees on Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. Other journalists are in attendance reporting on the event.

Halperin did not respond to a request for comment regarding his decision to co-host an event for Republican donors alongside the wife of a prominent Republican politician. A Bloomberg spokesperson declined to comment.

Roughly 250 people are expected to attend the weekend retreat, including presidential hopefuls Graham, Rubio, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.
