Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's California campaign swing has been pushed back one week.

"With the United Nations General Assembly session in New York next week, Governor Palin will participate in meetings with Senator McCain and other leaders," the McCain campaign wrote to supporters, in an e-mail that Red County posted.

Palin has been scheduled to attend fundraisers in Woodside and Newport Beach next Thursday.

Here's what we reported last week:

Chairs of the Bay Area event must pledge to raise or donate $50,000, which comes with two seats at the head table, one table of 10 for the luncheon and access to the "host committee reception" for six people with three photo ops.

In Orange County, co-chairs must pledge to give or raise $25,000.

Those donations levels don't appear to have changed for the new dates, which are October 4 in Orange County in the evening and October 5 in the morning in the Bay Area.

The McCain campaign had previously scheduled a rally -- for as many as 15,000 party faithful -- in Orange County. It's not clear if the rally will be rescheduled.
