President Bush played the role of invisible man on the campaign trail Friday, headlining a closed-door fundraising luncheon for John McCain and the Republican Party with tickets costing as much as $25,000.
McCain was in New York while Bush was in Oklahoma City. The two have not been seen together since a brief appearance after a fundraiser May 27 in Arizona, as McCain tries to put some distance between himself and the unpopular Bush.
A Republican official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for the McCain campaign, said the president would raise $1 million at the Oklahoma City event, which will benefit McCain and other GOP candidates. The dollar amount raised at the three earlier events Bush attended for McCain has not been disclosed.
