Hil's name-game bounty

    A donation to Sen. Hillary Clinton can be the gift that keeps on giving.

    That's because New York's celebrity senator uses one of the least-known but most common political fund-raising ploys that helps squeeze every last cent from her prolific hat-passing: She sells the names of donors.

    Since Clinton won office, her election committee, Friends of Hillary, and her political action committee, HILLPAC, have earned at least $340,000 renting donor lists, according to a review of federal election records.

    The idea that Clinton is selling donor information could raise eyebrows, and few people in the industry were willing to talk about the practice on the record, even generally, apparently concerned it appears unsavory to a public unaware of the practice.
