Democratic congressman Bob Filner, running for mayor of San Diego, has been relatively scarce of late around Capitol corridors, so much so that he's failed to give a dime from his small congressional campaign war chest to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's election fund.
But whether present or not, Filner lent his name and, presumably, mailing list to a "California Wine Tasting" fundraising event thrown in a Washington townhouse on December 13 by the state's Democratic caucus to benefit Los Angeles Rep. Howard Berman.
Ironically, Berman is also on the list of non-donors to the House Democratic committee. He's fighting a primary battle against another Democrat, Rep. Brad Sherman.
Price of admission ran from $500 to $2500.
The next day it was GOP Rep. Darrell Issa's turn at rainmaking as co-sponsor of a fundraiser for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign held at Washington's Lincoln Restaurant and featuring Romney's son Tagg.
Entrants were charged up to $5000 each per couple or PAC.
