With one, and maybe both 2012 presidential candidates shooting for billion dollar war chests, a certain kind of campaign character becomes ever more important. The Bundler.

The Bundler Poem

With TV ads they bloat us,
At election time for POTUS,
And to buy these aired infusions,
They need hefty contributions.

The efficient way to get them,
Ain't via piddling dribbles,
Instead they turn to bundlers
Who can package bigger nibbles.

A bundler taps his work mates,
His friends for these cash packets,
These givers almost always are
In upper income brackets.

A bundler's motives may be pure,
For the publc good he's caring,
But down the road should he need help,
Well...
He'll get a friendly hearing.
