The Caller-Times sure carries the water for recipients of Celis' contributions. Why aren't they donating the entire amount of the contributions, not just the unspent funds?

Admin Moderator please don't move this another forum. This isn't just a local story. It is directly releated to the withdrawal of a very rich self funded US Senate candidate last week.

Celis gave $50,000 to a political action committee set up by trial lawyer Mikal Watts, who until Tuesday was running for U.S. Senate. Celis also gave $50,000 in 2003 to the Save Texas Courts committee, a group largely of trial lawyers that formed to fight medical malpractice caps.

With donations of $160,000 in the 2004 election cycle, Celis ranked No. 51 among Texas donors to statewide campaigns and committees, tracked by the nonprofit group Texans for Public Justice. Celis didn't rank in the 2006 cycle because his contributions fell below $150,00
