Nick Di Iorio, longshot GOP candidate for Congress, signed to star in reality show
NY Daily News:A longshot congressional candidate in Manhattan apparently makes for a sure-fire winner on reality television.
Nick Di Iorio, a Republican challenging veteran Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney, has been signed to star in a proposed reality show about candidates running in “unwinnable” races.
In a draft opinion released Monday, the Federal Election Commission said Di Iorio can appear on the series — as long as he doesn’t get paid.
Di Iorio and his campaign manager, Joseph Shippeee, have a production deal to do the show if the project is picked up by the Esquire network, a new channel that is set to debut this fall, Shippee told the commission.

Any publicity is good as long as they spell your name right...
