20. Here in AZ we scared them off!

They were having a $25K/couple thing at the Convention Center, but the protest attendance was going to be larger than theirs, so they're moving it to some house here. We're still protesting though - I mean, they will both still be in town, why miss up a good time to tell them exactly what we think of them.

22. It was reported today that the venue for this event was moved.

They are now holding the fundraiser in a private home. Possible explanations for the change were that possibly McCain hadn't sold enough tickets because he lacks support, or that they were reacting to reports of planned protests. If this were a multiple choice question, I'd pick all of the above.

I'm looking forward to Helderheid's update later on.
