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.

Bush's Arizona fundraising effort for McCain is being moved to private residences in the Phoenix area. 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.

Convention Center personnel confirmed the event has been canceled at their venue.

3. I'm not counting campaign funds just yet . . .

But it really looks like the 'Licans are going to be seriously short of cash this time around. After the last several elections, this is a refreshing change.

7. Very strange - and Bush was offering a free can of his feces to each attendee

He can't understand it - in 2004, Republican families were paying great sums of money for cans of Bush feces at fundraisers and gobbling it up like it was ambrosia.
