Bush's Bundlers

Jeb Bush picks swanky South Beach hotel for donor summit http://wpo.st/MDTC0 Hey, ya gotta accommodate the moneyed Swells. Buyin election

When Jeb Bush huddles with his top campaign fundraisers later this month, he'll be doing it at one of Miami's newest and swankiest addresses.

Meetings with his top bundlers on April 26 and 27 will occur at 1Hotel on South Beach, according to multiple people planning to attend. The venue opened just two weeks ago with a lavish launch party attended by celebrity guests, including Paris Hilton and Tommy Hilfiger and celebrity chef Tom Colicchio.

Those eligible to attend needed to donate $25,000 or help raise at least $50,000 for Bush's political action committees, called Right to Rise. Many planning to attend are expected to have raised well beyond that minimum. He's spent the last few months raising millions of dollars for the PACs in the country's money capitals -- including stops this week in Chicago, Boston and Nashville.

The hotel includes 426 guest rooms -- with rates starting at $700 per night -- four pools, and five food or beverage options, according to local reports. Guests for Bush's meetings are expected to pay a far lower reduced group rate, according to some attendees familiar with the plans.
