Democrat National Committee chairman Howard Dean has asked other California and national fundraisers to pick up the slack of disgraced big-time donor Norman Hsu, who is currently under guard in a Colorado hospital after fleeing the San Francisco Bay Area last week.
Hsu was expected to organize at least three major Democrat events on the West Coast in the coming weeks, though at least two of those events are now in doubt.
Hsu, who has raised, by conservative estimates, more than $1 million for Democrats in the past election cycle, spent the latter part of 2006 being wooed by every major Democrat presidential campaign for high profile fundraising roles in their national campaigns. In fact, the Hillary Clinton campaign had offered Hsu a very clear role.
"Around the office it was known back in January or February that Hillary's finance people had offered Norman the finance chair job for the Western part of the country," says a DNC staffer with ties to the Clinton campaign. "It was a similar role that he was seeking from other campaigns before he made his final choice."
"No one vetted him," says another Clinton insider. "The kind of money he was promising and then bringing in was all our people needed to see, and he had a track record."
Now the DNC is trying to figure out where all of Hsu's donor money was coming from, and other presidential campaigns are trying to put their opposition research teams on the case to see if there is more damaging information to use on Hsu against Clinton.
"This has the smell of another Clinton/Chinese money scandal," says a researcher on a rival Democrat presidential campaign. "We weren't ready to trot all of that old history out, but the Hsu story is changing that a bit."

>>Would we also want to know if Fred had the same problem?
I see this as a clintoon and democratic problem of long standing.
I am willing to flush whatever turds are swimming in my toilet.<<
We have the twin problems of a lot swimming around plus people like John McCain with solutions to make it worse.
Agreed.
Many of those camo colored turds (rino’s) were exposed with shamnesty. Another “flushing” is just over a year away. I am standing by with my plunger hoping to get them all down the tubes.
Hopefully even the ones who stay in Congress, like McCain (unless he runs for VP) will have learned something about the limit to which they can afford to piss off the base.
and.....NO FLOATERS ALLOWED
Again u r right. Sometimes second flushes are needed.
Me too. Give it time. This canary will be silenced. Just wait and see.....
Kendall ..??????
Why on earth would they want to get rid of Kendall .. he’s just a paid mouthpiece .. what threat is he to them ..????
Vince Foster, Ron Brown, etal. had pretty high profiles. Besides, Klintons could always blame Normy’s demise on his past...(SF gangster).
