Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, will attend a fundraiser at the home of former President George Bush in Kennebunkport on July 31, according to an invitation that has been sent out.

(UPDATE: The campaign says that this date is tentative and subject to change).

There is a photo-op with Bush and his wife, Barbara, at 11:30 and a small reception at 12 (that's for the high dollar donors). There's a bigger reception at The Colony Hotel on Ocean Avenue at 12:30.

Unless McCain or Sen. Barack Obama get to Maine before then, that will mark the first visit by a presidential candidate to the state. It's unclear now if McCain will hold a campaign rally.
