Remember that Kerry fella?

Well, he's been dropping some strong reminders in Democratic Party circles that he's still around. Via Political Wire...

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) "has spent the last seven months raising millions of dollars for Democrats across the country," the AP reports. "Kerry has either contributed or raised more than $4.3 million for candidates and congressional committees since the beginning of the year."

While everybody's ga-ga over Hillary raising six million or so for herself, raising four and a half or so for other people is some pretty strong mojo.

John Kerry was arguably the financial difference, in both the recount and defense costs, in the Washington state party's ability to successfully defend Governor Gregoire's victory. That matters to a lot of people. That matters to me.

Of course, as the Democratic champ in the Presidential fundraising history, that Kerry fella's no slouch at filling his own coffers, either…
