The list looks an awful lot like this list for a fundraising dinner for John McCain in March 2010.
Honorary co chairs included Jon Kyl and Jeff Flake. Event co chairs were Vicki and Jim Click and
Anita and Ross Farnsworth. The host committee included Joe Abate, Wendy Briggs, Dr. Lisa and Bob Fannin, Ken Kendrick, Mike Rappoport.
In 2005, Pres. Bush stumped for Jon Kyl. Dr Fannin along with US Airways Exec C.A. Howlett were ones who greeted the president when he arrived and attended the $1000 per plate dinner.
Paul Hickman was McCain's policy director in 2010. Previous to that position, he was McCain's Arizona Chief of Staff.
Bob and Karen Hobbs purchased Barry Goldwater's home in 2000.
Are we reading the donations correctly? Adams is receiving support from people who have made significant donations to Democrats?
Someday, people will realize that when these names appear as endorsements for a candidate, it is a sure sign to vote for the "other guy".
