The two candidates planning on spending a lot of money running for Congress are off and running to raise the millions needed to compete.
Rep. Bill Owens held a ritzy affair at a rich guy's house on Wellesley Island. Matt Doheny holds one this Wednesday at a ranch near Chaumont.
They are big money events by North Country standards, although by downstate standards, they are probably pretty modest affairs.
Meanwhile, it was reported recently that Green Party candidate Donald Hassig didn't have the funds to get his own car fixed.
Capitol Confidential » Doheny nearly matches Owens fundraising

You make me LMAO. Owens has a fundraiser at someone's house who lives on Wellesley Island and that;s news. Doheny OWNS a couple of Islands and he's just one of the guys?
Doheny will never able to match the money Owens makes in service to Pelosi. That kind of work pays big time. And the kind of loyalty she commands obviously outweighs any feelings he might have for his own home. Can't blame him. That Waashington lifestyle and the aura of Nancy must be overwhelming.
It is funny. Not that I am suggesting that the headline should read any differently, but what a different spin it would be on the story for the headline to read "doheny falls short of Owens in fundraising for the second consecutive quarter". Same facts, different presentation. Sends a very different message. I just think it is interesting, that is all.
When it comes to winning the voters hearts, we have entered an era where ideas trump money. Unfortunately these two are just a couple of political hacks
Wish you were right 2:41AM but since the Supreme Court decided corporations were 'people', these nameless, faceless, rich super PACs have bought numerous elections in our fair land.
