Sen. John McCain headed to his home state for a fundraiser yesterday, alongside a guest who he’s stood with for many years: President Bush.

McCain’s campaign treasury reaped the benefits of Bush’s taxpayer-funded trip to Phoenix, but McCain tried to avoid the appearance of running as a third term to the least popular U.S. president on record.

McCain was willing to appear alongside Bush for all of 47 seconds, even though he’s been willing to vote with him 100 percent of the time in 2008. Maybe he’s trying to prove he’s not the “McSame” as we’ve had the past seven years—but his voting record isn’t encouraging.

McCain changed the venue from the Phoenix Convention Center to the home of a wealthy donor, although it’s unclear whether this was because of low ticket sales or a strategy to avoid protestors and keep away the media.

The Arizona AFL-CIO and the Arizona chapter of the Alliance for Retired Americans organized a rally outside the convention center to raise their concerns about McCain’s record on issues like health care, Social Security and trade. Maybe these tough questions were the reason McCain wanted to avoid the convention center. He’s made great efforts to avoid working families across the country, from Florida to Oregon.

So who is McCain listening to on these important issues?
