Hsu LessonsSubmitted by Katie Schlieper on Wed, 09/12/2007 - 11:10am.
The news that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) will return the $850,000 she collected from Democratic bundler, and wanted felon, Norman Hsu gets praise from Forbes, and a warning from the Washington Post that is further evidence that our campaign finance system is due for a change.
As the Washington Post rightly argues, the Hsu flap is just more evidence that our system puts candidates between a rock and a hard place, and the bottom line is that we must strengthen the presidential public financing system.
