There is a persistent rumor going about that President Bush will be in Greensboro on Sept. 30 for a fundraiser. That rumor has been confirmed by more than two local Republicans, all of whom think that the president will once again visit the home of Louis DeJoy and Aldona Wos.

We'll post more details here as we run them down.

Cautionary note: President Bush canceled a recent fundraising trip to stay in D.C. and deal with the financial crisis. Also, those most in the know are loath to make with the details because the Secret Service tends to scare the pants off them.

Update: I think we can safely take this one fully out of the category of rumor. Here's the story from our web site.

Update 2: Someone who has one of the invitations (and is sending us a copy, we hope) says that the fundraiser is being hosted by the McCain-Palin folks as well as a host of other Republican Party entities, including the Michigan and Missouri Republican Parties.

Update 3: Invite says doors open at 4 p.m. and folks should arrive no later than 4:30 p.m.

Update 4: Click here to read the invite yourself. And here's the backside.

Update 4: Wos: "The President is coming as a surrogate to help raise money and awareness and votes for Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin."
