CASH COW:

HILLARY MAY BATTLE CHUCK FOR TORCH'S SENATE POST (DEBORAH ORIN, October 5, 2002, NY Post)

Scandal-scarred Sen. Bob Torricelli hasn't even left the Senate, but New York Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chuck Schumer could wind up fighting over the spoils - his coveted seat on the Senate Finance Committee.

Both Schumer and Clinton have expressed interest in the panel - one of the hottest seats in Congress because it's the center of the action on taxes and a bonanza for fund-raising because every corporation in America pays attention.

This seat will be a huge boon to Ms Clinton's presidential campaign because members get to shake down almost every corporation in America for contributions. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 5, 2002 7:41 AM
