Poor ticket sales, expected protests scuttle Bush-McCain fundraiser at Phoenix Convention Center

[unapatriciated]

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.

6. but bush says it's all McCain's fault!

These people never cease to amaze me:

A White House official said the event was being moved because the McCain campaign prefers private fundraisers and it is Bush administration policy to have events in public venues open to the media. . The White House official said to reconcile that the Tuesday event will be held at a private venue and not the Convention Center.


That McCain--he's so secretive and bush is so open.

At this stage of the game, who do these people think they are fooling?

11. What's this nonsense about Obama will lose in November?

The Republicans can't sell tickets to a fundraiser in Phoenix? For their favorite son featuring their Fearless Leader?

Obama will win in November. It is important that we roll up our sleeves and make sure he wins big.
