Kerry is raising money for Lamont
by PolitiCalypso
Wed Aug 16, 2006 at 12:39:23 PM EDT
Today John Kerry sent an e-mail to his approximately 3-million-person subscriber list to raise money for Ned Lamont and two incumbent Senators--Akaka and Menendez--who supported the Kerry-Feingold bill and are in tightly contested races. (I know Menendez isn't the favorite Senator of anyone here, but it would be a shame to lose the seat.)

Unless I am badly mistaken, Kerry is the first Democrat to support Lamont in such a concrete way. I'll give credit where it's due--Hillary Clinton's HILL PAC did cut him a check after he won the Connecticut primary. The party leadership and most elected officials have endorsed him. But to my knowledge, Kerry is the first to raise money on his behalf on a large scale like this. It's more than simply a statement of "support" to cover one's behind on this issue without any real walking the walk. Kerry is using the valuable resource of his huge e-mail list to draw attention to Lamont while helping two other embattled Democrats who stood against continuing the war indefinitely, one of whom is a very strong liberal voice.

8. Thanks

And thanks for the recs. This is the sort of press that Kerry and Lamont both need, especially now that Joe has turned his coat and accepted the help (and, judging on his rhetoric, advice) of the Republican machine.

6. Ha, I missed that one.

I posted the Young Turks bit but not the audio link - you could go add the audio link.

It's okay sometimes to post duplicate comments on different diaries, if the comment is really relevant in both places.
