From the New York Times:

"Mr. Kerry can tap only assets that he owns or a portion of those he holds jointly with his wife. He is prohibited from using her money directly for his campaign, though she could contribute the maximum $2,000 like any other donor. Ms. Kerry has also maintained that she can make so-called independent expenditures for such things as advertising supporting his candidacy, though she would be prevented from coordinating with Mr. Kerry or his campaign. Some campaign finance experts have said such an arrangement would present thorny legal problems, to say nothing of public perception."

And she is wrong about that. Anyone with inside knowledge of the campaign cannot give (or probably even lend) it money.
