John McCain Comes to California for Cash

Senator John McCain will attend a fund-raiser tomorrow night in Irvine, hosted by billionaires George Argyros, Donald Bren and Jerry Perenchio and developer William Lyon, the Orange County Business Journal reported.

On Tuesday, the Senator will host a $1,000-per-person luncheon at the Beverly Hilton, Daily Variety reported.

McCain comes to the Southland as former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani -- who attended a fund-raiser in Brentwood last week -- is reportedly widening his lead in the polls for the
Republican presidential nomination.

The latest USA Today/Gallup poll found McCain trailing Giuliani by 24 percentage points.

Giuliani was preferred by 44 percent of the Republicans and Republican-leaning independents surveyed between March 2-4, while McCain was preferred by 20 percent.
