McCain-Bush Fundraiser Cancelled

RE: the previous post.

One of those events that Bush was scheduled to "to be main attraction at" has been cancelled. Poor ticket sales are cited as one reason.

Here's hoping that McCain and Bush decide to hold more of these events; at this rate, they'll be broke in a week.

A Tuesday fundraiser headlined by President Bush for U.S. Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign is being moved out of the Phoenix Convention Center.

Sources familiar with the situation said the Bush-McCain event was not selling enough tickets to fill the Convention Center space, and that there were concerns about more anti-war protesters showing up outside the venue than attending the fundraiser inside.

Another source said there were concerns about the media covering the event.
