bullet Palin raising cash for McCain by offering donors chance to get clicked with her corner

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is raising cash for her former running mate Senator John McCain by offering donors a chance for a picture with her at the Arizona Biltmore reception.

McCain donors can attend an hour-long reception with Palin and get a chance for a picture with her for 2,500 dollars.

And those not attending the reception can pay 500 dollars each for a two-hour dinner, or 1,000 dollars for preferred seating, Politico reports.

The fundraiser is being held at the same resort where Palin was restrained by McCain aides from delivering a speech following their loss to President Barack Obama.

Palin is just one of the many high profile endorsements that McCain has rolled out recently in his battle against former Republican J.D. Hayworth.

Apart from Palin, McCain can tout the endorsements of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Sen. Scott Brown and the state's entire Republican delegation. (ANI)

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Tucson news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership.

We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a Tucson weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Tucson Post is for you.

Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
