McCain nets $1.5M at Bryn Mawr fundraiser
By Dan HirschhornThe presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was able to bring in $1.5 million during a cocktail reception and fundraiser in suburban Philadelphia on Monday night, The Inquirer reports.
The fundraiser took place in the wealthy Philadelphia suburb of Bryn Mawr, which is in the battleground of Montgomery County. As McCain looks to boost his campaign coffers and catch up with opponent U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) record fundraising, many analysts have identified winning the Philadelphia suburbs as key to winning the state.
Monday's fundraiser was attended by U.S. Sens. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), as well as Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett.
