John McCain in Buffalo for Fundraiser
by Matt at Jul 21st, 2008
John McCain is landing in Buffalo soon for a fundraiser expected to bring in an impressive amount of contributions:
Organizers say they expect to raise more than $1 million for McCain’s campaign at two fundraising events, including one at Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
The Arizona senator, who has secured enough delegate votes to win the nomination at this summer’s Republican convention, will not meet with the press during his Buffalo appearance.
McCain is scheduled to arrive at Buffalo Niagara International Airport at 5:30 p.m. He will attend a dinner at the home of Anthony Gioia, the former U.S. ambassador to Malta, and then will head to the Albright-Knox.
The fundraiser was originally scheduled for mid-August, but was rescheduled for tonight.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama is desperately trying to improve his foreign policy credentials (of which he has none) during his visit to the Middle East.
