A Bundle of Nerves
Hypocrite Hillary balks at open disclosure. Mark Warner to announce. Down and dirty in South Carolina. Plus more.

HSU ARE THEY?

Sen.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
previously supported
campaign-finance reform proposals that would have required
immediate and full transparency of donor names involved in bundling
of political donations. But now Clinton has ordered that none of
the 200 or so individuals who bundled some $850,000 with disgraced
Clinton fundraiser
Norman Hsu
be disclosed to the
media.
/p>
Clinton’s campaign in New York is now scrambling to get a handle on just how much trouble Hsu has caused. “We still aren’t sure just how bad this situation is,” says a Manhattan-based political consultant working for Clinton. “Hsu obviously brought in a lot of money, but he also brought in a lot of people and some of those folks were bundling funds too.”
The consultant, who has not seen the list of Hsu “bundlers,” says that there is concern within the campaign that many of those involved will be similar to the Daly City, California family that jumpstarted this fundraising scandal in August: working-class or middle-class families with multiple donors in one household.
p> HE’S IN br> Former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner will announce on Thursday that he is seeking the same Senate seat he sought back in 1996 when he lost to retiring Sen.
