| Description | Dems Try to Raise Kerry $10M in 10 Days
The Honolulu Advertiser
Former President Clinton, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Democratic congressional leaders are trying to raise $10 million for presidential nominee-to-be John Kerry in 10 days. Kerry's campaign raised $10 million over the Internet in 10 days after he locked up the Democratic nomination March 2.
The Internet money drive will lead into a 20-city fund-raising tour by Kerry that he hopes will raise $15 million to $20 million by early May. Kerry's fund-raisers start March 29 with a two-day swing through California. In addition to the Clintons, Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California and several former Democratic presidential hopefuls plan to take part in the online fund-raising drive, the campaign said. Kerry is trying to raise $80 million this year to counter record fund raising by President Bush, who has taken in more than $163 million so far for his re-election effort. If Kerry meets his goal, he will have raised a Democratic record of roughly $105 million for his campaign from January 2003 to the party's nominating convention this summer. That's about the same as the then-record sum Bush raised for his 2000 campaign and has already surpassed. |
