Democratic frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have already come prospecting in Charlottesville, as well as Dennis Kucinich, and now it looks like a Republican is going to try his luck. Charlottesville Newsplex reports today that John McCain will hold a fundraiser at the Paramount on February 10, two days before the Virginia primary. A mere $1,000 gets you into a private reception, while $100 are necessary for the speaking event, though students can get in for $20.
