In case you missed it on the front page, Richard Collins has another column on the continuing Hsu affair. As I have noted here, Collins asserts that this latest scandal has to put a dent in the vaunted discipline of the Hillary campaign:
If there is one thing the media agrees upon it is that Hillary Clinton runs a shrewd and disciplined campaign. This mantra runs through practically every media mention as they report the tried and true horse race story lines.
But the ongoing Norman Hsu fundraising scandal has to call into question this basic premise. The New York Times noted this week that Hillary was afraid that a fundraising scandal could harm her campaign. And yet faced with an unknown figure coming out of nowhere to become one of her, and her party’s, biggest fundraisers didn’t raise any red flags.
