BUFFALO (2008-07-21) Senator John McCain will be in Buffalo today, mining more for campaign funds than votes.
His two evening appearances in Buffalo, at the home of Anthony Gioia and the Albright-Knox Art Museum, are expected to raise nearly $1 million, the largest one-day political fundraising appearance in local history.
Other than a photo opportunity upon his arrival this evening at Prior Aviation, the Republican candidate will have no press events or public appearances.
That limited availability has prompted some observers to believe that the McCain campaign has little hope of winning New York State, which has voted Democratic in the last five Presidential elections.An anti-war protest is expected to be in place when McCain visits the Albright-Knox tonight.
