LOS ANGELES—Accusations that a campaign treasurer stole more than $1 million from Democratic candidates across California have jolted the party on the eve of the 2012 campaign season.

Kinde Durkee was arrested Sept. 2 and accused by federal authorities of stealing campaign funds and using the money to pay for an array of personal expenses, including mortgage payments, cosmetics and nursing-home care for her mother. Based in Burbank, Calif., the 58-year-old had long managed money for scores of Democratic campaigns.

This person and family need food tasters. Even the dishwasher needs reverse osmosis filtering.

Where’s Nancy Pelosi????

She famously said that the Republican party had a culture of corruption.

I want to know Nancy’s opinion of this campaign fund scandal happening with good Democrats. A good Democrat treasurer stole the money????? Ohmygosh!!!! Money which donors intended to give to Democrats to run for office so they could do things for the children????? For shame!!!!!

Another for the “Why am I not surprised” file.

It’s California. She’ll probably sue to keep her job even if she goes to prison.

And, she’ll probably win.

She was sharing the wealth. What's the big deal? Isn't she entitled to that money?
I say let her keep it. It's her right to have it. Maybe she wants to buy a new TV.
