John McCain and Sarah Palin will be in town for an October 14 fund-raiser at the Hyatt Hotel, according to email sent by local supporter John Faso, the 2006 Republican gubernatorial candidate.

It costs $1,000 to get in the door, and for $25,000, donors can attend a private dinner with McCain, “including photo opportunity.”

Here’s the email, which was forwarded to me:

Subject:  McCain - Palin  New York City at Grand Hyatt Hotel Tuesday, October 14, 2008

The McCain - Palin ticket has burst forth from the convention with tremendous momentum.  National polling indicates that Sen. McCain is now either even with or ahead of Sen. Obama.  Having been a delegate to the convention, I can tell you that Gov. Palin has contributed greatly to the enthusiasm felt across the nation.

On Tuesday, October 14, 2008 there will be a final NYC fundraiser for the McCain-Palin ticket, with both candidates in attendance.  General admission to the event is $1000.  Attendance at private dinner with Sen. McCain is $25,000, including photo opportunity.

This is our final opportunity to help put the McCain-Palin ticket over the top.  While there is no doubt the election will be close, I am feeling increasingly confident of victory.  I will be contacting you in the next week or so to solicit your support.  Please consider making a special effort to assist in this final effort.
