Speaking of that Kerry fella…

…(the other) Washington is whispering...

...Sen. John Kerry is on the fast track to repeat in 2008. We hear that his political action committee, Keeping America's Promise, will soon report raising $1.1 million from 11,000 donors in the past three months. And Kerry will reveal that he gave over 60 percent of that to Democratic congressional candidates. "He's become the fundraiser in chief, and it gets him back in the game to become commander in chief next time around," says an associate who's helping on Kerry's '08 campaign.

The first question to ask candidates in '08 is going to be "Where were you in '06?" Will anyone have a better answer?
