Democrats Question Kerry's Campaign Funds

"He's going to have to give some of it up for 2005 and beyond," Brazile said. "The party will demand it."

I believe those funds are restricted and limited to a Kerry presidential campaign

But .. can this presidential fund loan money to his Senate campaign??

Don't forget he had to borrow on his house during his last Senate run

[elmer fudd]

This makes no sense to me. $15,000,000 would have bought a lot of ads in the various swing states. It's not like he's going to need the money for his next senate run since he's the incumbent democrat from Massachusetts. He'll win that race regardless. He wouldn't even need it for potential legal challenges if the election had been a squeeker. George Soros would have been willing to cough up almost any amount for lawyers if they had needed them. His wife's worth about $1,000,000,000 so a few million in campaign funds isn't going to affect his personal finances much. Only a moron would try to save some of the money from a close race for a long shot campaign four years from now and I don't think he is a moron.

So the question is, "why the hell didn't he spend it?" Like Saddam's missing WMD's I think there is more here than meets the eye.

DNC: "Where's the rest of the money?"
JF'nK: "Pissupatree, pissupatree, pissupatree."

Sweetie, we're talking 'rats here.

Regardless of what federal election law allows or restricts, you know that the 'rats will do whatever they think is in their best ineterest at the moment, and then deal with the legal ramifications later, if ever.

I bet they could have bought a Governor seat for $10,000 or about $40 a vote IOW 2 cases of beer and 3 packs of smokes.

Dino Rossi Wins WA Governorship By 261 Votes

Had the RATS used that money to buy more crack maybe they could have won Ohio.

Mau-mau Brazile is whining? Don't get too tense, folks, about this. It's only because Massa BJ and the Queen are threatening her that if she DOESN'T grab these funds, well, ...

[DoughtyOne]

[California Patriot]

Gee, I thought character didn't matter in public life.
Will the Dems rethink this illusion? Nah ...

Serves you right, SOB's.

[SunkenCiv]

But golly, doesn't he owe money on a second mortgage for one of the houses his wife inherited? We aren't so hard-hearted that we'd want him to be second-homeless, are we? And we should cut him some slack -- he probably expected to be spending millions on recounts and legal challenges by now.
