Mr. Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, is saddled with Geoffrey Fieger, a lawyer who was indicted last month on charges of using straw donors to funnel illegally more than $125,000 to Mr. Edwards’s 2004 presidential campaign. “The Clinton campaign has done as much if not more than any campaign to protect itself from situations such as this, and none of the other campaigns, other than hypocritically, can point a finger at the Clinton campaign on fund-raising problems,” said Hassan Nemazee, who is a fund-raising bundler for Mrs. Clinton, as Mr. Hsu had been. Advisers to Mr. Obama note that Mr. Hsu has been convicted on a fraud charge while Mr. Rezko’s trial is pending next year. Asked whether the Rezko case would hamper an Obama attack over Mr. Hsu, an Obama spokesman, Bill Burton, said yesterday: “Ultimately we assume that voters will choose based on the record and the vision that candidates have in reforming the role of money in politics.” An Edwards spokesman, Eric Schultz, declined to say whether his campaign had decided to attack Mrs. Clinton directly over Mr. Hsu. Mr. Schultz added, “If Geoffrey Fieger is found guilty, the campaign will donate all the money in question to charity.” The Clinton campaign has been monitoring coverage of the Hsu case. “We don’t think the Hsu story has broken through with voters at this point,” one Clinton adviser said. “And we’re going to keep trying to make sure it doesn’t overshadow her message.” Don Van Natta Jr. contributed reporting.
