Sen. McCain will use his cabin near Sedona, Arizona, to host several GOP leaders Saturday.
Sen. McCain will use his cabin near Sedona, Arizona, to host several GOP leaders Saturday.

(CNN) — Sen. John McCain, who spent the week criticizing Sen. Barack Obama's trip to the Middle East and Europe, will host several top Republicans at his cabin outside Sedona, Arizona, later Saturday.

As many as 75 people are expected to attend a barbeque.

CNN's Dana Bash reported earlier this week that attendees would receive meetings and briefings from staff, including campaign manager Rick Davis, Saturday morning at a nearby Sedona resort where most will stay.

McCain often uses his creek-side cabin to hold intimate political events in a relaxed setting. He told reporters he hosted there this spring that making ribs on his large grill is one of his only means of relaxation.

A few months ago he hosted a group that included several would-be running mates — including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.

I'll vote for McCain if he guarantees to declare weekends work-free with pay, free Viagra for all men, and abolish birth control for women, that's how God intended it to be, let's multiply and compete with China, if we can equal them in number, then we can refuse to pay them our debts and take on them one-on-one, with Mccain in front, heard he knows how to win wars, and probably fist-fights.

CBH   July 26th, 2008 8:16 pm ET

I see that Senator McCain is at his cabin planning his next Obama smear. I really wish Sen McCain would talk about something besides what Sen Obama is doing. How is he planning to fix the economy? What is his plan for health care, social security, immigration etc… I am tired on "I got you politics". Same tired GOP message.

ex republican   July 26th, 2008 8:14 pm ET

Think that they will talk about the OIL SPILL that happened in the Gulf? Obama should be pressing this point.

McCANE didn't even MENTION the oil spill!!!! What kind of leader doesn't mention an environmental disaster? The media is doing a great job covering this story up so mcCANE looks better. Its sad…..

Pookie   July 26th, 2008 8:11 pm ET

Well John, that's what you get for suggesting that Obama should go overseas. Anymore bright ideas?

OH WELL!!!!!   July 26th, 2008 8:06 pm ET

Who Cares!

California Gold   July 26th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

McCain finally hit on a way to get people to attend his gatherings: feed them bar-be-que.

Monica, Texas   July 26th, 2008 7:57 pm ET

We know McCain it's the weekend and you do not work on the weekend….

WHO CARES!!!!!   July 26th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

DOH!   July 26th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Ah yes…….I little BBQ at one of his EIGHT homes….whoop de doo…..

Shahed Ali   July 26th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

If John McCain wins the election I think there will be no america it will go down the drain look at our economy in past 8 years so we as american people if want to save our country we need to make sure Obama wins and runs the country for next 8 years

Vig   July 26th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Slow and steady wins the race.

Edward   July 26th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

His guests will be doing an intervention: stay on message or you'll be abandoned by your delegates at the Republican Convention. McCain has now moved his policy toward Afghanistan and Iraq so close to Obama's positions that one wonders how he can convince moderate voters he'd be any different on foreign policy. Indeed, he gained great traction over his most dangerous opponent, Mitt Romney, in the Republican primary debates by lambasting him over adopting a timeframe for withdrawal. Now, McCain has moved squarely way beyond where Romney had ever gone toward what is the Democratic Party's message.

Garth   July 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Some how having 75 people over for a barbeque doesn't sound like McCain's "cabin" is that little. Can you say Elitist?

MIKE FROM FLORIDA   July 26th, 2008 7:13 pm ET

HOW DO THEY CALL THOSE MEETINGS BACK IN THE DAY OH I REMEBER CLAN MEETING THATS RIGHT POST THIS CNN!!

Montana is Obama Country   July 26th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

CNN- This is OLD News and everybody knows its a cover for John to take the weekend off as he has already said he would be a M-F - 8-5 president if elected.

Maybe he is at home lifting couch cushions looking for his flag pin.. (saying- hmm I know it's around here somewhere, now where did I put that darn thing)

Carolyn   July 26th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Wow! I wonder how many rooms John's creekside cottage has. With over 75 people coming, I'm sure it's not like the creekside cottages most of us imagine or would be happy to have. GO AWAY>

How is this news, McCain takes every weekend off to rest. It's more like he's hosting his grandchildren. What a waste of supporters time and money.

Franky   July 26th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Senator, another party? I see how it is, you don't wanna invite me, huh? Is cool Senator, is cool……even though I care about the Reps. Is cool Senator, is cool, LOL!!

Nancy   July 26th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

His "cabin?." Why not call it his estate? It is. Do people realize how expensive it would be to own a property in Sedona? The McCains are beyond wealthy. He has no clue what it is like to be a typical every day American. No clue what it is like to be without health insurance or drug coverage. His wife charges hundreds of thousands of dollars a month on her credit card. HThose of you who vote for him will be kicking yourselves in the butt, just like you are now after voting for Bush 3 1/2 years ago……….
And to Hilary supporters who would ever vote for him, shame on you!

Pam   July 26th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

I'm guessing his "cabin" (which I'm sure his wealthy Stepford wife paid for) is larger than 90% of the average American's home.

Loretta from California   July 26th, 2008 6:37 pm ET

I don't see any criticism here. This article is too cute. Careful CNN, the GOP whiners might accuse you of being too bias.

I think your coverage of each candidate has been fair and balanced.

Great Job.

Ted van Tol   July 26th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Yesterday I saw Sen. McCain in the Situation Room.
I realy felt sorry for him.
I saw a tired man who told us that he know how to win wars,
he would bring Osama Bin Laden to justice because he knew
the aria he lives and so on………………………..
I saw at his face that he did not believe his own words.
I saw the same face that I have seen by G. Bush the last 3 years.
Sen. Mc Cain, whom I respect, is an old and tired man. When he
becomes President of the USA he wil be totaly depent on his advisers like Bush did.
When Mc Cain would go to Berlin I am sure, no one would show up.

And what a difference when I see Barack Obama, young, strong, wise and loved all over the world. He is surely isnot the Messiah, he is not pretending that but he is a good man with a vision for this world no one ever dreamed of.
He gives so many hope for the future.

Americans vote for the best candidate, Barack Hussein Obama.

With love from the Netherlands.

Bulldog   July 26th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

They are planning their next attacks just like military leaders going into a battle. Since they have not solutions to solve any real problems this country is facing they figure they need to launch missiles and bombs at the other side. Many McCain backers call Obama an empty suit but they don't realize all McCain has in his suit are bombs, missiles, and ammunition. He has no solutions. At least Obama has some of those.

arkansas hillbilly   July 26th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

will there be a keg ?free marijuana?rock n roll or country music?will they be discussing which country to invade illegally,next?

Hey, John, you should hang with a better crowd.

Robert M Heck Sr   July 26th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Obama this, Obama that: too much Obama everything and anything.
Let's get some fair and equal coverage already. Black Osama is getting more than his fair share of exposure. Be honest. It is as if he
has already won the election. What a disgraceful display by our media people.

Tom in CA   July 26th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

It's nice that he has allies!

They must be his age or older. Perhaps they have Old Timers…just like John!

Dave from Florida   July 26th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Oil Executives from Shell, Mobil, BP, and some of the 110 lobbyists still working for McBush. When gas prices first hit $4.00 a gallon weeks ago…McBush said "the Surge" is working, when told he could'nt go on the oil rig in the gulf because of Hurricane Dolly McBush replied "The Surge" i'm all for it. Unemployment..the Surge.
Banks failing…The Surge……Housing declining in value….The Surge.
Geeeeez !!!!!

Cindy Hussein McCain   July 26th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

McCain is a snake. He urges him to take the trip, and then critiques him negatively when he does. If Obama had not taken the trip McCain would have had something bad to say about that.

If anyone has not caught on to his tactic yet, they are to criticize, criticize and criticize. No matter what Obama does, McCain is trying to instill doubt. I hope the Amerian People can see this. McCain has no reason to be so disrepectful of Obama (Oh except he wants to win)

This tell what kind of man McCain really is, he will be as negative as he has to in order to win. He wont fight on the issues because he is afraid that he would lose (and he would). His only chance is to be negative. So he will!

MurphyMorseJohnson   July 26th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

McCain is hosting Romney among others at McCain's cabin. It must be a fascinating to hear Romney tell McCain that all illegal immigrants must be deported. After all, Romney's main campaign issue was to deport illegals. Don't let that rustic cabin setting fool you, though. McCain's wife is loaded with dough–filthy rich with it–and he's filthy without it.

Who's paying attention to McCain?   July 26th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

After a tough week in the cheese aisle at the Piggly Wiggly and in front of a German sausage restaurant, McCain is heading back to his creek-side cabin in the woods, just like my grandfather used to do.
My grandpa would go to his creek-side cabin and just relax and enjoy his old age.
McCain should just go up there and bar-be-que away, and never some back to scare us again!

John McShame, Obama Is Going to Tax You & Cindy, but Not Me & 95% Americans Making < $250,000/Yr   July 26th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

keep practicing your bbq skill mcsame…you will need it to host your whining and sore losers campaign after you lose in nov.

Linda in Va   July 26th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

He should grill the rest of his retired life I'd say

Elizabeth - TEXAS   July 26th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

McCain's taking another week-off. He needs a week-end to rest from all of the Obama bashing he has done this week. He has got to be exhausted. I wonder if McBush will be there. I sure hope Dana Bash is there or someone has a hidden microphone.

Obama 08 - 12

Mark   July 26th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Minus staff, what do you think the turn out is going to be 75 people suppose to attend, minus staff and McCain, I figure what 3?..maybe 4?…

Sounds like the turn out for his Townhalls….LOL

OBAMA 08!!

Denise Groves   July 26th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

I do hope somebody has a hidden recorder just as the one that caught Bush's "wall street was drunk "statement.

Sherry   July 26th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

SEEMS TO ME THAT MCCAIN RELAXES ALOT …..ESPECIALLY ON THE WEEKENDS

DO WE REALLY NEED A PRESIDENT THAT TIRES EASY AND CANT GO THE EXTRA MILE?

MCCAIN NEEDS TO ENJOY WHATS LEFT OF HIS TWILIGHT YEARS.

OBAMA YOUNG AND FRESH NEW IDEAS FOR AMERICA.

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW

Doris,Memphis,TN   July 26th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

I hope they give him some issues to discuss ,so that every word that
comes out of his is not about Obama.

Lorna, NY   July 26th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

He sure has a lot of barbeques.

thomas   July 26th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

The old Bush-alike will draw a crowd of "as many as 75 people."

Certainly it's not a public affair, but this report coming in the days after Obama's highly-rated introduction to the world is just plain laughable.

The proportion of 75 people to Obama's 200,000 people is about what McCain will lose by in November.

Obama 08   July 26th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Entertaining 75 people at a "cabin"…must be nice…Obama entertained 200 000 supporters in Berlin…

Obama the winner 08/12   July 26th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

What else does he have going except for the words Surge,Jealousy ,Surge,whining, Surge,bar-b-q, Surge/ Oh yes all his lies repeated lies and misstatements he nev er says an ything of substance spends all his time with negative and lies after Obama.
Do you remember where negative remarks got Hillary ? "and she was full of them"

Where do they find experiance in this Mc looser /he never knew much in the beginning would not have been in Naval Academy with his lack of smarts / grades only got in there because of a Father and Grandfather in Military .
If any other Son or Daughter posessed his lack of smarts you can bet your farm they would not be accepted in a Naval
Academy …………………………………….

His Naval Academy deal is a no brainer ITS NOT WHAT YOU KNOW ITS WHO YOU KNOW>>>>>>

Senator McCain has experience, judgment, integrity, and is a genuine hero.

Americans will not choose Senator Obama. The choice is between a hero and a zero. The hero wins every time!

Democrats for McCain!

Candy West Virginia   July 26th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Why isn't anyone talking about the HUGE oil spill in the Mississippi? Is it because it would be another instance of john mccain having bad judgment for wanting to drill off our oil coasts?

first round   July 26th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

first round-mitt, bobby, charle were burned meat.
Lets see the other marinated, seasoned spoiled meat.

Enlightened Voter   July 26th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

I honestly don't know how any enlightened person could ever think of voting for john mccain. His judgement sucks (too many instances to count), he is crooked (keating 5), he has no respect for women (voted against a bill to give women equal pay), is a war monger (iraq, surge, iraq, surge..), doesn't care a lick about GI's (has voted against GI bills 12 times, last time was a month ago), running a horrible and crooked campaign (too many instances of this to count here) and still supports the senseless war in Iraq. He is ghetto minded and not fit to lead our country.

dean0232   July 26th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

A "war time" president is ALWAYS unpopular. It might take years for this country to REMEMBER, Bush kept us out of terrorist activities, told us that this is a war like no other that might last 10, 12, or even 14 years, kept unemployment low and WILL be instrumental in bringing oil prices down again. Never forget what Palosi and Reid and the impotent congress have done so far with their 9% approval rating and if Obama should happen to get in, his plans for you and your money as a freshman senator with less than 2 years total experience.

GERRY   July 26th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

YOU GO BOY. BASH OBAMA FOR HIS UNEXCELLED PERFORMANCE AND HOST THE OLD CRONIES AT YOUR
(WIFE'S RANCH) MAKE SURE YOU GET TO BED EARLY SO YOU WON'T FEEL LEFT OUT AND EXHAUSTED COME MORNING. NOTHING BUT BAD MOUTHING, WHINNING, AND DIRTY POLITIICS.
YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE A FAT CHANCE BECAUSE OBAMA WON'T STOOP TO YOUR LEVEL. TRY A LITTLE, JUST A LITTLE TO SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR FELLOW SENATOR AND CONGRADULATE HIM ON HIS PERFORMANE ON THE WORLD STAGE THAT YOU KEPT NAGGING HIM TO DO AND THEM JUST FLIP-FLOPED ON HOW MUCH IT WAS NOTHING BUT POLITICAL. BOTTOM LINE IS YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS THAT YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
GOOD NIGHT AND SWEET DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jason - Chandler, Arizona   July 26th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Grumpy Old People unite in Arizona.. WOO HOO. Naps at 3pm with dinner at 5pm and lights out at 7pm.. I am sick of McCain already.. He wants more war, more dead American troops and his nurse/wife Cindy will help with his feedings and will hold his elbow each time he goes for a walk.

McCain your BBQ's are a joke. You don't even cook. You have a staff to cook and clean and taste the food for you. Stay in your cabin old man and retire!

I am sure Obama can match that. I have seen senior citizens barbeque parties before but never a whinners barbeque on a big grill.

Things to Ponder   July 26th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Are they meeting to discuss how the SURGE is working? Or are they meeting to discuss how John McCain was right about the SURGE? Maybe they will chant SURGE SURGE SURGE SURGE SURGE to toast before dinner…. while McCain look on grinning.

Whatever the reason for the meeting John McCain is looking for people to agree with him but it won't be Obama…..

Ah yes, last week we jetted to the Hamptons where we of the GOP pseudo Royalty basked and dined and donated money to McBush III.

Oh Lovie, have the boy bring another Champagne.

I hope they talk into you some manners.

Young & Educated   July 26th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Maybe people with no IQ like Willy, Lisa, Brian, John etc who keep posting stupid blogs and such weak attempts at discrediting Sen Obama will be part of that 75.
Lets see when Sen Obama has his how many will be expected to attend 75 x 10000.
Sen Obama trip abroad just goes to show how much respect the usa would regain!
He made the USA look so good in the eyes of the world!
Sorry McCain you just don't have what it takes!
Obama 08/12 hopefully by then we will allow 16 :)

Star   July 26th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

He shouldn't feel left out, but grateful that Obama lost footing with a lot of American's who saw an over confident almost gloating Obama. Heck, the election isn't even until November and now I don't trust Obama anymore and feel that I am not alone. May common sense rein come the election. Last thing we need it a novice running the country.

lady in michigan   July 26th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

I think once it can accomodate 75 people, it's no longer a "cabin."

David Newport, OR   July 26th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

OK guys…what do I do now? Everything I throw at this guy Obama…he picks up and excels at. How am I supposed to win here?

Don't worry John…we will think of something.. The American people are sheep and we can lead them just as we have for the last 7.5 yrs. All we have to do is make them afraid. If we can make them afraid, we will win. We need to convince them they need to be afraid of him…he is too inexperienced…he is too egotistical…he is too diplomatic…he is too liberal…he eats arugula for God's sake…he can't be trusted…

Nothing But Love   July 26th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Another feeble attempt to capture the spotlight with talks of running mate announcement. This will not take anything away from Senator Obama's trip —– he had a GREAT week overseas. Monday will begin another GREAT week for the senator. Much Love Obama.

ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID   July 26th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Wow no rock band? You mean your actually going to talk one on one to people who can actually do things in this country. Not to crowds of 200,000 people who can do nothing for us. Well played! I am an ex dem. I still may not vote for you, but definatly wont for Obama.

joe   July 26th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

75 people……..wow !

Ron from Pittsburgh   July 26th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Obama wants more divisions going to Afghanistan because that's where the enemy is. That's where they trained to attack us. That's where the War should have been fought all along. Nobody from Iraq attacked us. Iraq was GW's war of choice, Afghanistan is a war of necessity. No country should ever go to war the way we did in Iraq. If we had intelligence that showed they had wmd's we could have bombed the area(s) where they were. Instead we invaded the whole country and got burned by it.

Ilona Hussein Proud Canadian   July 26th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

I guess now we know THE REAL DEAL ABOUT THE MEDIA'S LOVE AFFAIR WITH JOHN McCAIN!!

I sure hope that the BARBEQUE THEY ATTENDED AT McCAIN'S CREEK-SIDE CABIN WAS WORTH THEIR PLAYING FAVOURITES!

McArsenic   July 26th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

i guess this is a chance for all of the Lobbyist running his campaign to tell McCain what his platform will be. it is a tragedy that we live in a country where stupidity is what some aspire to. i would venture to say IF Obama had blond hair and Blue eyes this race would be a done deal….and for all of you who are quick to think i a Black man is calling you racist, 65% of white people polled said race was a factor…so that's on you. let your ignorance, stupidity and hate further destroy our country and the world. john mccain has ONLY lobbyist interest not American interest.

libs be dopes   July 26th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

I changed from "dems be dopes" to "libs be dopes" as the name was not really fair to many of my democratic friends I have. They are just as baffled by the lack of choices for this year's election.

We have a socialist dressing as a liberal and a liberal dressing as a conservative.

In most cases senators make poor choices as candidates as their job is, hmmmmmmmmmmmm, what is their job? They really don't do much but love to tell us what they have done. Their experience in running anything, or making hard decisions is lacking

They don't represent those that elected them but love to pander to those that did not.

Governovers generally make better candidates, they actually ran something, are held responsible by those that elected them.

manubi   July 26th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

I posted these questions for Mr. John McCain yesterday and still have not heard from anybody who would answer them:

Why do you stray away from your maverick stand?

Why do you now decide to support offshore drilling?

Why do you vote for Bush's tax cut for the wealthy?

Why do you reach out to Charles Wyly who you accused of being corrupt?

Why don't you back your own campaign finance reform?

Are you for or against Roe v. Wade?

Are you for or against ethanol usage?

Once again Mr. McCain, can you answer these questions?

Charles   July 26th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

Hr just lies and says anything! When is the media going to start picking apart McCain's constant lies?

Did you hear that song? Lie, lie, lie, ..lie lie, McCain. Sung to the tune of Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.
