The Los Angeles Times offers this report. A few snippets:”In seeking to reach his goal, Schwarzenegger is offering large donors personal access. Invitations to a March 20 dinner in Beverly Hills offer ‘head table seating with the governor’ for two and six photos of couples with the governor for those who contribute at least $100,000 to his reelection campaign and the state GOP. The dinner’s star speaker is Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a champion of campaign finance reform.” “An aide to McCain, meanwhile, denied that the Arizona senator’s plan to appear at a Schwarzenegger fundraiser was awkward. McCain, who is weighing another presidential bid in 2008, has been collecting political chits around the country by helping candidates raise money under state rules that are far more lax than the restrictions on federal campaigns. ‘The important thing is that all the rules within the state are followed, and the senator himself is not soliciting large donations,’ said John Weaver, a McCain strategist.” Very interesting.
