AP: Bush to be main attraction at McCain fundraisers

I guess McCain didn't get the memo that Bush is a drag on the party.

If this doesn't work, McCain could always offer a free case of measles with every $100 pledge.

clipped from politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says there's a reason that President Bush's efforts to raise money for the John McCain campaign next week will take place behind closed doors. A White House spokeswoman says the McCain camp always keeps the press out of fundraising events. All three events next week are being held in private residences. One of them, in Utah, is being hosted by McCain's former rival, Mitt Romney. He's a potential choice to be McCain's running mate. The White House announced today that Bush will be the main attraction at two events for McCain in Utah and one in Arizona. In addition to building up McCain's campaign account, the events will also benefit the national Republican Party. Bush's low approval ratings have raised questions about whether he would hurt or help McCain.
