Syndicated radio host Armstrong Williams threw open the doors of his Capitol Hill home Wednesday night to host a party for Michael Jackson. No, wait. Not that Michael Jackson.

"We're talking Prince George's County Sheriff Michael Jackson. He's running for county executive, and I truly believe in his cause. We are gun-toting, God-fearing folks, and we believe in law enforcement and support law enforcement. We all need to stay connected here," Mr. Williams tells Inside the Beltway.

Among the attendees of the soiree to honor the candidate, who is a Democrat and retired Marine: R&B artist Ginuwine, business consultant Marty Bender and sports entrepreneur Rock Newman.

"A good time to had by all? Of course, you bet," Mr. Williams adds. "Now we're looking toward the campaign trail."
