question for Kerry supporters regarding the $850,000 loan…

[pruner]

as far as I undertsand the situation (please correct me if I'm wrong), any money Kerry takes in from contributors can be used to repay this loan.

as such, is there any point in donating to Kerry from this point forward since it won't put any more money in his campaign coffers?

1. I'm not a Kerry voter, but I will field this question

This is a non-issue. The key here, is the contributions CAN BE used to repay the loan, but he won't repay the loan if he still needs money to pay for campaigning.

2. thanks LuminousX

5. Dean "pipe" dream #402: No more donations to Kerry.

Which follows number 401: We're strong on National Security and precedes #403 We'll beat Clark in the South.

6. Dean IS beating Clark in the South…

and the North, East & West.

8. Theresa Heinz will be repaying this loan.

Kerry will continue to take in money from contributors and forget about this loan. Therefore, any monies given will go straight to the campaign.

10. Wrong on two points

It's spelled "Teresa", not Theresa.

Second, her money is completely separate from his.

And while I'm at it, Teresa is a very, very cool woman. She speaks 5 languages fluently, is from Mozambique originally, has a wonderful organization set up that uses funds for women's rights, the environment and human rights internationally. She has worked with the UN since she was 24.

She makes Hillary look like a truck stop diner waitress.

11. if she's so great…

than maybe the wrong Kerry is running.
