While Hillary pockets, Kerry gives

Hillary Clinton and John Kerry are polar opposites these days.  John Kerry leads every other potential 2008 Democratic candidate in donations, according to Roll Call Magazine:

Since losing to President Bush, Kerry’s political action committee,Keeping America’s Promise, has given about $1.2 million to candidates,far more than the leadership PACs of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton(D-N.Y.), former Senator and Kerry’s 2004 vice presidential runningmate John Edwards (D-N.C.), Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), or any of theother potential White House hopefuls.

Usinghis federal campaign account, his old presidential primary account andhis e-mail list, Kerry has donated, raised or helped Democrats collectmore than $7.5 million since November 2004.

“Give me five moreJohn Kerry’s,” says Democratic Congressional Campaign CommitteeChairman Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.). “He’s a fighter, and he puts his moneywhere his mouth is.”

Please tell me something: why is it that Hillary Clinton has raised five times more money for her political action committee than John Kerry in the first quarter of 2006, yet Senator Kerry has donated more money than Hillary to other candidates?  There is something wrong with that!  60% of all the money Kerry has raised through his PAC has been distributed away to help other Democrats.  Now there's a team player!  I wish Hillary would learn from him.
