Deny Clinton/Santorum |
liveDaily reports: U2 concerts will be the
site for the upcoming political fundraisers of two disparate U.S. senators,

Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, a Republican,
reportedly plans to host a $1,000-per-person event at U2's Sunday (10/16)
concert at Philadelphia's Wachovia Center. He's raising money for his re-election
campaign.
Meanwhile, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton,
a Democrat, reportedly will be on hand for U2's Oct. 19 show at Washington,
DC's MCI Center. She is hosting a $2,500-per-person fundraiser for one
of her Political Action Committees.[see full story for more]-
