Hey, John...

Yes, and…

As many of you note in your comments, John Kerry has given money to many campaigns and has done a great job fundraising for candidates in competitive districts. He deserves our thanks for that. (Really.)

But it doesn’t change the fact that he’s sitting on a warchest of $8.3 million that is critically needed right now.

As the Hotline (sub. required) points out, both Evan Bayh and Hillary Clinton are sitting on substantial sums of money.

Here’s the difference: the money that Kerry is sitting on was given to him by folks who thought he would use it to win in 2004 — not save it for 2008. But he didn’t use it. The right thing now would be for him to let our money go so that we can win some elections this year.
