Kerry Greases the Skids for 2008

If the path to the White House is paved with money and political favors, then 2004 Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry is on the fast track to repeat in 2008. We hear that his political action committee, Keeping America's Promise, will soon report raising $1.1 million from 11,000 donors in the past three months. And Kerry will reveal that he gave over 60 percent of that to Democratic congressional candidates. "He's become the fundraiser in chief, and it gets him back in the game to become commander in chief next time around," says an associate who's helping on Kerry's '08 campaign.

Articles such as this help keep open the thought that Kerry is a viable candidate for 2008 regardless of what happened in 2004, and help to keep Hillary from winning due to a sense of inevitability.

1. That's an average donation of $100 per.

All those small donations add up. That is really a very nice number. Good news.

2. But I thought Kerry was a corporate candidate

:eyes: I'll say it again it is a shame that this man is not president. Either way he's got a rough road ahead of him in '08 though he's beat a rough road before and I wouldn't be suprirsed if he did it again.
