Senator Clinton has set what's billed as her last fund-raiser in New York before the Super Tuesday primary.

Tickets for the January 24 reception at the Capitale Restaurant on the Lower East Side start at $1000.

In a measure of the campaign's need for cash to survive what could be an unexpectedly long primary season, an invite obtained by The New York Sun says sternly that no general election funds will be accepted, meaning new donors are being courted in lieu of those who've already given the $2,300 maximum for the primary.

While both Mrs. Clinton and Senator Obama have hordes of donors who have "maxed out," Mrs. Clinton has more, which means she faces more of a challenge to find untapped sources of money as the primary campaign drags on.
