McCain Without Money

WASHINGTON -- George W. Bush's 2004 campaign fund-raisers and contributors are being bombarded with appeals for money by Sen. John McCain's heavy-spending, money-short 2008 campaign.

McCain is concentrating heavily on the rich target of lawyers and lobbyists in Washington, D.C. They have been invited to multiple McCain fund-raising events held in the nation's capital, currently a $1,000-a-ticket reception June 26 at the Capitol Hill Club with a potential "event co-chair" asked to raise $50,000. A large percentage of the Bush fund-raising team remains uncommitted, a signal that the Republican establishment is not satisfied with the present field seeking the party's nomination.

McCain raised $2 million in April and $3 million in May, and is expected to reach $2-3 million in June -- falling short of the $10 million goal and of what his opponents have raised.

I'm surprised the fool has managed to raise even this much money.

It is hard to understand why anyone would support McCain, but I guess some people have to support loses.

Ask Bank of America for the money.

"Lawyers and Lobbyists".....The latter is probably LaRaza , he had to be bought off by someone to be sticking it out with S1348 sham of a bill that can only damage his chances as Presidential canadate. What a fool

Go ask the illegals for a donation, John. You think more of them than you do us citizens.
