Republican presidential nominee John McCain is in town today. It seems the former P.O.W. will be dinning over at the Fairmont (for a $10,000/plate fundraiser). But wait, there's more: Members of No Soldier Left Behind, a "campaign promoting a comprehensive plan to end the war in Iraq and improve the security and well being of Iraqis and Americans," will protest outside the hotel tonight.

We strongly recommend ordering a vespa or four. (CBS 5, via BCN)

Actually, the event was $2,300/person or $1,000 if under 35. That was for the general reception, with a private dinner beforehand being attended by fundraisers who were able to aggregate $15,000-100,000 in donations.
$10,000 was the amount for a couple to get into the general reception and have a photo taken with McCain.
