If you’re a high-flying Republican, and you can afford to take next Monday off to fly to Maine, have we got a treat for you.
On that day, former President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush are hosting a high-dollar fundraiser for John McCain near their home in Kennebunkport.

According to a solicitation sent by the McCain camp, for the low, low price of $5,000, you can play a round of golf at Cape Arundel Golf Course, Bush’s home course.
“Both President Bush and Governor Jeb Bush will be stopping by to greet the foursomes,” the missive promises. “The course is reserved for this private group, and VIPs will be visiting during your round of golf. This event is a great way to end a weekend getaway, and we would be honored if you can attend.”
But if a last-minute flight to Maine is too pricey, don’t fuss: You still have plenty of opportunities to throw some cash McCain’s way here in our neck of the woods.
The next day, McCain will appear with former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich in Baltimore. On July 29, former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman hosts a D.C. event with McCain advisers Rick Davis and Douglas Holtz-Eakin. And on July 31, former Department of Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge gets into the act, along with former CIA Director Jim Woolsey and former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating.
