After holding eight fundraisers in five days -- some of which the candidate didn't even attend -- the unofficial weekend fundraising total for the McCain campaign was between $4 and $5 million. The most lucrative fundraiser was at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, where the campaign raised more than $2 million. But the presumptive GOP nominee finished strong with a final finance event in Chicago, which netted nearly $1 million.
McCain lingered a little longer than usual in the Windy City, presumably due to the knowledge that he was done looking for handouts for at least a week while he travels overseas as the leader of a congressional delegation of members of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
