Senator John McCain has declined an invitation to speak at Club for Growth's winter meeting (I'm told Sen. McCain will be in Iraq during the meeting).

Coincidentally, The Club has also released their white paper on Senator McCain.
On the positive side for McCain, The Flash Report notes that Senator McCain raised a lot of money last night in California. Additionally, this morning's New York Times poll may demonstrate a relaxing of Rudy's bounce.
