Bush Scales Back McCain Fundraising Events At Campaign's Request

President Bush is scaling back next week's fundraising swings for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) at the request of the campaign, which wants the events closed to the press, POLITICO has learned.

The change -- in both Arizona and Utah -- is part of McCain's delicate effort to find the balance between embracing an unpopular president and taking advantage of his huge continuing draw with well-heeled Republicans.
