A March fund-raiser for Rudy Giuliani in John McCain's home state is nearly sold out, said one of the event's co-hosts.
Barron Thomas, an Arizona-based Republican donor backing Mr. Giuliani said that the $1000 - $2300 tickets for a March 9th event at a private residence is Phoenix are nearly gone.
Thomas said that while a McCain fund-raiser on March 3rd "somewhere downtown" had lined up "all the high society guys," Giuliani's fund-raiser was attracting "blue collar and white collar" supporters. The guest list, he said, "cut across economic and cultural lines."
Thomas said that he had decided not to support his home senator because "McCain wakes up every day and has a new position." Thomas said that he felt McCain had flipped on campaign finance reform, and felt betrayed by McCain's support for benefits for illegal immigrants.
"At least with Rudy you know what you get," he said.

(((((PING)))))
Speaking of selling out, I wonder how many "conservatives" will be voting for Rudy?
HE CAN'T BEAT HER
That's great! ON McCain's home turf!!!
Speaking of selling out, I wonder how many "conservatives" will be voting for RudY?
I WILL.
Bluecollar guys dropping 2300 for rubber chicken in a primary? Economy must be awful good down there.
Excellent - He's appealing to the average Joe more than McCain! GREAT!!
I come from a blue collar family and I do not know of many if any who can afford 1k and up. It sounds more like a rockefeller/country club fund raiser.
At 1,000 bucks a ticket, I bet it does.
This guy needs to read up. Rudy is no different and supports the same things. Whats that saying about a fool and his money?
BTW, we are war and many people believe Rudy is the best candidate to prosecute it.
Methinks your underpants are all bunched up! Relax!
Step right up!
Check your gun rights at the door, folks!
This is interesting. Found it at Maggie's Farm.
