John McCain’s campaign must be loving his post-convention polling bump, but Barack Obama’s campaign shouldn’t be stressing out. Most analysts predict the surge in McCain’s numbers may disappear as early as this week. Plus, running a bit behind makes the campaign’s pitch to potential donors all the more urgent: “Hurry up! Give us all your money! We’re losing!”
Good thing Obama has a mega-fundraiser scheduled at the Biltmore Hotel at the end of next week. Apparently, organizers are predicting it may be the biggest political fundraiser in Florida history.
$1,000 gets you in the door. $3,000 gets your “preferred” admission. And $15,000 gets you a picture with the candidate. Pricey, pricey.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
The event is scheduled for next Friday, September 13th. You can RSVP at the official website if you have $15k in your pocket and a place on your picture wall yearning for a shot of you and a potential president. If all your bank account has is a little bit of change (not even the type you can believe in, har har), it’s likely Obama will make a few other stops around town that day.
