Bush-McCain fundraiser not selling enough tickets to fill Phoenix convention center.»

The Phoenix Business Journal reports:

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.

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal also reported that Bush’s “impact appears to be reduced” in raising money for congressional candidates as well. Through early May, he had raised only $36.6 million for GOP candidates, compared with $66.6 million last year.

his ability to raise money, to Methodists fighting AGAINST Shrub locating his library on their campus have put me in a very jovial mood lately! Then, yesterday, I heard that some poll has him at 23% popularity!!!!!! Life is good!

I hope it hits the TV news, but I don't expect it will.

Lied and said they were selling tickets to an Obama rally.

The tickets would've sold like hotcakes!
