McCain not in town

With John McCain staying in Washington for the Senate vote on the bailout measure, Cindy McCain and Todd Palin will fill in at tonight's Century City fundraiser. Kelsey Grammer and Dennis Miller provide the entertainment. Ted Johnson posts at Wilshire & Washington that "It is more than likely that this would have been McCain's last Hollywood-centric event before the general election --- but there's no official word on whether he will resked."
