I think the issue is more about raising tens of millions of dollars to circumvent McCain-Feingold.
You are right, but money does not matter for John Kerry! His campaign and his surrogates (the 527s) have spent millions and it still has not helped him. The DNC also cost millions and did absolutely nothing for John Kerry or, worse yet, the city and people of Boston! The problem is the product (John Kerry) is fatally flawed. The man has no convictions, cannot take a stand and has a wife that leads him around like a puppy dog. To top all of this off, Ms. Heinz Kerry is a blue ribbon nutcase! See what kind of candidate you get when hate rules the day!
