bullet Palin raising cash for McCain by offering donors chance to get clicked with her corner

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is raising cash for her former running mate Senator John McCain by offering donors a chance for a picture with her at the Arizona Biltmore reception.

McCain donors can attend an hour-long reception with Palin and get a chance for a picture with her for 2,500 dollars.

And those not attending the reception can pay 500 dollars each for a two-hour dinner, or 1,000 dollars for preferred seating, Politico reports.

The fundraiser is being held at the same resort where Palin was restrained by McCain aides from delivering a speech following their loss to President Barack Obama.

Palin is just one of the many high profile endorsements that McCain has rolled out recently in his battle against former Republican J.D. Hayworth.

Apart from Palin, McCain can tout the endorsements of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Sen. Scott Brown and the state's entire Republican delegation. (ANI)

The Phoenix Herald is essentially a local Phoenix newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Phoenix, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Phoenix, Arizona, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Phoenix Herald.
