A Wal-Mart distribution center in Bentonville will host a visit on Monday from Vice President Dick Cheney. Wal-Mart`s political action committee supports vastly more Republican candidates than Democrats. Wal-Mart senior vice president for corporate affairs Jay Allen says the visit is a fund raiser for President Bush`s reelection. Allen says that is a personal activity and is not connected to the Bentonville-based retailer.
