Hillary and donations.

I am asking an honest question because I don't keep up with campaign contributions other than what I read in general.

So. How will returning $850,000 affect Hillary's cash total?

2. too much money

She still has too much money and too much attention and too little to offer in my opinion, but then I prefer Biden.

3. She won't even notice it's gone.

Her campaign has more money than God.

4. I noticed none of the other campaigns had dirty contributions . . .

And little Hill has $850,000 of dirty money from this fugitive felon.

It is a good thing that this flawless disciplined campaign is going to start doing background checks on its big dollar bag men . . .

ABC!

5. Wrong.

Also over the weekend, the New York Times did its version of the "who is Norman Hsu" story. Reading it, one gets the sense that many Democratic campaigns are going to find more tainted money. The big question: How many donations did others make to candidates that Hsu repaid? And campaign finance investigations linger for months, if not years, though voters usually don't seem to care as much as the media.

9. No one knows

Hsu was not a bundler that I know for anyone other than Hillary Clinton. The last numbers I saw said Hsu brought in $1.2 million to Democrats - I assume this included the amounts that he bundled. If $850,000 went to Clinton, there is another $350,000 to many other Democrats. This is an attempt to spread this over many people - but most got only a few thousand from individual donors that they had no reason to question. Many people have donated money already.

It also sounds like they are all taking the need to know their bundlers better.

6. Yet again, Broke Dad is ill informed.

Democrat John Edwards faced such questions last week when federal prosecutors in Michigan indicted Geoffrey Fieger, the lawyer famous for defending assisted-suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian, accusing him of channeling $127,000 in illegal contributions into Edwards' 2004 presidential campaign. Edwards' aides said, and prosecutors confirmed, that the activity was concealed from Edwards.

Maybe your guy can collect more donations from the comp0any foreclosing on New Orleans homes.

12. All corporate cash

is dirty. If they weren't spending it on buying politicians, maybe American workers could earn a living wage.
