UPDATED: McCain headed back to St. Louis for fundraiser; Democrats announce it
The fundraising arm for Republican presidential nominee John McCain has confirmed that the candidate will be in St. Louis County next Monday for a fundraiser.
We’re still waiting for his campaign to reply to a phone call. Political Fix found out about the event from a somewhat stinging release that the Missouri Democratic Party just sent out.
“According to his campaign Web site, Republican Presidential nominee John McCain will be at the St. Louis Frontenac Hilton at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 10, to raise funds to further his effort to give President’s Bush failed domestic and foreign policies a third term,” the release said.
“McCain, a former self-described maverick, today stood in the White House Rose Garden to officially receive President Bush’s endorsement in hopes of cozying up to the right wing of the Republican Party…” said Missouri Democratic Party spokesman Jack Cardetti.
The McCain campaign’s list of cohosts for the event include:
Honorary Event Chairs:
“Governor and Mrs. Matt Blunt
“The Honorable and Mrs. Kit Bond
“The Honorable and Mrs. John C. Danforth
Event Chairs include:
Mr. and Mrs. August A. Busch, III
The Honorable and Mrs. Steven Brauer
Mr. and Mrs. David Farr
Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Fox
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Oliver

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas M. Walsh
Here’s the state GOP’s reply to the Democrats:
“John McCain has united Republicans across this country and in Missouri because he has the experience, judgment and character to lead, while Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are both fighting to raise our taxes, socialize medicine and abandon the war on terror,” Missouri GOP spokesman Paul Sloca said.
