Nonstop Fundraising Stretch Starts

Democratic fundraiser Mike Fraioli had attended every one of his party's political conventions since 1980. Until this year.

It wasn't because he decided to slip away for an end-of-recess jaunt to the beach. Instead, he stayed in town getting ready for what might be one of the busiest, most grueling stretches to hit the D.C. fundraising scene.

"It is absolutely unbelievable the number of events that are scheduled in the next two weeks," Fraioli said. "It is just mind-blowing."
