George W. Bush’s 2004 campaign fund-raisers and contributors are being bombarded with appeals for money by Sen. John McCain’s heavy-spending, money-short 2008 campaign.
McCain is concentrating heavily on the rich target of lawyers and lobbyists in Washington, D.C. They have been invited to multiple McCain fund-raising events held in the nation’s capital, currently a $1,000-a-ticket reception June 26 at the Capitol Hill Club with a potential “event co-chair” asked to raise $50,000. A large percentage of the Bush fund-raising team remains uncommitted, a signal that the Republican establishment is not satisfied with the present field seeking the party’s nomination.
McCain’s money-raisers are hard put to reach the $10 million goal set for the second quarter of 2008 by the June 30 deadline, after collecting $12 million in the first quarter. McCain raised $2 million in April and $3 million in May, and is expected to reach $2-3 million in June — falling short of the $10 million goal and of what his opponents have raised.

Boo hoo. I’m crying in my beer ... and almost choking cause I’m ROTFLMAO. Bye bye mr bad man.
ZING!
Darn beaten badly by like thinking Americans.
How is Fred McCain II?
He’s short on character and common sense as well.
A dangerous fool.
Mr. McCain-Feingold is finally catching his due, a rapid exit from the public eye.
“He should ask the illegals to send the money that Americans won’t.”
NOW that is a GREAT idea.
Love it! Ha...
Just like everything else, McCain has things backwards: Most people run out of dollars before they run out of cents.
