Reply #47: That money left over was the primary money that he wasn't ALLOWED by law to spend

[blm]

after he accepted the nomination. I'm surprised so many are unaware of that campaign law. Primary money is all the money coming in up to the acceptance. Kerry ended with that 15 million unspent just as every other campaign has done. The post election accounting takes years and in some case, they are still spending 2004 money on court cases that are still in progress. Gore didn't get his accounting over with till 2004, and I didn't see anyone complaining about those 4 years.

Bush didn't lift a finger for himself - he didn't even have to win the debates or craft any serious policy positions as Kerry did. Bush had an RNC and RW media machine do it ALL FOR HIM.

How did the DNC and the left media do against their counterparts? Or do they get the kudos while Kerry gets the blame even though he won all his man to man matchups and they did not?
