Hillary...2.1 Million transferred
Ted Kennedy 1.25

Of other Presidential candidates...

Obama...150K
Biden...200K
Dodd...200K


Add this to the numerous campaign fundraisers Hillary attended for other candidates which raised further untold millions...makes her by far the biggest rainmaker in the party...other than the Big Dawg!

1. What does all that money cost? I mean in Senate votes? Or is it just that the doners

want to help?

[MasonJar]

2. Hill came to Kentucky and raised the most money ever for the state

dem party. Bill came during the election cycle, as did Obama, and we got Northrup's seat for Yarmuth.

3. The real question is not how much she gives now

when the contributions can be spotlighted and used for political fodder

but how much did she give in previous years when help was really needed to get Dems elected.

4. Great!

So, what does that mean for me as a voter?

5. Great, but it's no reason to support her candidacy. nt

6. Go Hillary!!!!

7. You need to change your post to read -top contributor of those running.

And that is about all total that she did contribute including other candidates and committees in 2006. Senator kerry raised and gave away far more than Hillary did altogether. Senator Kerry raised and contributed 13.8 million dollars to the party and candidates in 2006. He gave 1.25 million alone to the DSCC.

8. Uh...my post specifically says DSCC...and Kennedy not Kerry gave 1.25 mil..

Hillary gave 900K more to the DSCC than Kennedy...and I am not including any contributions to other candidates...

Kerry only transferred a bit over 200K to the DSCC

Hillary gave 250K to the DCCC as well
