Bush-McCain Fundraiser Scaled Back Due To Lack Of Takers
Bush-McCain Fundraiser Scaled Back Due To Lack Of Takers

TPM Election Central
By Eric Kleefeld - May 24, 2008, 12:31AM


A planned mega-fundraiser for the GOP, featuring President Bush and John McCain, has now been http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/2008/05/19/daily77.html?surround=lfn">scaled back in the face of a daunting problem: Too few people actually wanted to buy tickets.

According to the Phoenix Business Journal, fundraiser set for this Tuesday in the city's convention center failed to sell enough tickets, leading to fears that the anti-Bush protesters might end up outnumbering actual attendees.

The new plan is for the Bush-McCain fundraising effort, which will benefit both the McCain campaign and the RNC, to be held in private residences in the Phoenix area away from media coverage.

2. Yeah, but if you listened to the corporate media news,
you would think McCain/bush had a chance to win the white house again.

But that is why Hillary is fighting so damn hard to stay in Democratic primary. Because who ever becomes the Democratic nominee for the white house, will be our Next President. Everyone knows it, everyone expects it. It is the final destruction the the bushes make before they slither away. They will destroy the very party that brought them to power.

Can you say President Obama?
