64. Have a look at the words they use
From the Kerry speech posted by blm in this thread:
"That vision is defined by looking to our best traditions -- the tough-minded strategy of international engagement and leadership forged by Wilson and Roosevelt in two world wars and championed by Truman and Kennedy in the Cold War..."

From the PPI:
"...we are proud of our party's tradition of tough-minded internationalism and strong record in defending America. Presidents Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman led the United States to victory in two world wars and championed by Truman and Kennedy in the Cold War..."

It's a safe bet that there's a bit of crossover in the phrasing, wouldn't you say?

This isn't surprising. John Kerry is a prominent member of the DLC, with which the PPI has a lot in common -- including network addresses!
$nslookup www.dlc.org
Name: www.dlc.org
Address: 66.151.110.82

$ nslookup www.ndol.org
Name: www.ndol.org
Address: 66.151.110.82

$ nslookup www.ppionline.org
Name: ppionline.org
Address: 66.151.110.85
Aliases: www.ppionline.org
Imagine!

That's not all, of course. PPI and DLC also share Al From and Will Marshall, among others. Asking why the PPI is relevant to John Kerry is very much like asking why the DLC is relevant to John Kerry.
