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)

Every minute of every day our news editors canvass the issues, and stories making the news to provide our readers with a broad and in-depth coverage of what's happening in the world.

Our first priority is the state. We specialise in Arizona news. From Tucson to Phoenix, we're on the lookout day and night to keep track of issues making the news. We also strive to keep abreast of national news.

Breaking stories out of the continental United States usually break first on the Arizona Herald. Neighbouring states and key cities too often feature on our news pages.

We also provide a whole lot of other content you'd expect from any newspaper including international sports coverage and local Arizona weather forecasts.

We also provide readers with an opportunity to engage in newsmaking by voting on major stories in the news, and following how other readers are viewing the issues. Our news polls are regularly updated, and attract thousands of voters over each week they're conducted.

Our business writers too work hard to keep you abreast of what's happening in the markets, not only in the U.S. but across the globe. We work around the clock to post stories from major financial centers like Tokyo, Paris, London, and of course New York, where we have extensive coverage of the major indices, particularly the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P and Russell 2000.
