McCain Visits Buffalo Today; Looking for $$$$, Not Votes.

[tekisui]

BUFFALO (2008-07-21) Senator John McCain will be in Buffalo today, mining more for campaign funds than votes.

His two evening appearances in Buffalo, at the home of Anthony Gioia and the Albright-Knox Art Museum, are expected to raise nearly $1 million, the largest one-day political fundraising appearance in local history.

Other than a photo opportunity upon his arrival this evening at Prior Aviation, the Republican candidate will have no press events or public appearances.

That limited availability has prompted some observers to believe that the McCain campaign has little hope of winning New York State, which has voted Democratic in the last five Presidential elections.

An anti-war protest is expected to be in place when McCain visits the Albright-Knox tonight.

Obama's fundraising ability is putting the hurt on Mcdubya's campaigning. Obama has forced Mcdubya to spend his time seeking money, and leaves him little time for votes.

2. Hmmm. I thought I read he was going to be in Maine w/GHWB.

Maybe that was yesterday.

5. He's going to be in Maine as well

His things in Maine are midday and afternoon. That's plenty of time for a flight to Buffalo for some evening fund raising.

3. eh.

Campaign loopholes
Funneling money through the RNC
ect...

next stop

Just wait for the adds attacking the local race democrats that will strongly focusing on attacking Obama as well (using the money double purposed)

Funding isn't an issue when he's willing to break the rules so much.
