Meanwhile, the marquee speakers for the GOP convention are former candidates defeated by McCain -- former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Arkansas Gov.

Oh yeah, according to the Washington Post calendar, McCain is to campaign in Texas on Monday, as well. So much for the 14,000 party activists who will be attending the state confab.

written by ElHombre , June 12, 2008 I can think of a very good reason why McCain doesn't want to go to the Texas GOP convention: They're a bunch of loons. Having McCain associate himself with them would be the electoral kiss of death in the rest of the country. Sorry, folks. McCain's gotta look like a 'centrist'. Write comment

What's up with this? Presumed GOP nominee John McCain can't make it to the Texas Republican Convention running Thursday through Saturday in Houston but can be in the convention city on Tuesday for a big fundraiser at the home of a restauranteur and his wife who previously raised money for Bill Clinton and last year donated to Hillary. The general reception is $1,000 but a private reception and photo op with McCain is $10,000 (give or raise) or $2,300 without the photo op. See more details on the
