How not to run a campaign: Straniere on fund raising

Three weeks after officially becoming no the Republican endorsed candidate to replace Fossella, Bob Straniere (R-Manhattan) is holding his first fundraiser (what?);

GOP congressional candidate Bob Straniere will hold a kickoff fund-raiser tomorrow from 7 to 9 p.m. in Lorenzo's Lounge at the Hilton Garden Inn, Bloomfield. Contribution is $250 per person.

Straniere's campaign it seems is pacing itself. They don't want to over burden their website people so they are not listing the event on their site. Then again they apparently don't want to burden them with "issues" and "policy" either.
