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, :
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.â€
Please tell me something: why is it that 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.
