Kerry and Kennedy do the right thing ...

Senators Edward Kennedy and John Kerry are tapping their sizable campaign warchests in an effort to elect a Democratic Congress.

The Massachusetts Democrats donated 500-thousand dollars apiece, half to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and half to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

I would have liked to have seen a million a piece. But that ain't bad.

And another point is important to make. Kerry has taken a lot of grief because he's sitting on a big pile of money and he's a very high-profile person in the Democratic party. But there a whole lot more money out there in campaign warchests of folks who aren't in anything like a serious campaign. So who else is going to put money on the table? We're under two weeks to go before the election and in only a few more days it'll be too late. Late money goes for ads. And the day before the election is just too late. So who will match Kerry and Kennedy?
