Who dunnit?

So far it's just a "Democratic official not affiliated with the DSCC…" per the Hotline account, but whoever is behind www dot heyjohn dot org (the site is unworthy of a link) should speak up about their association and motivation. Regardless, their aim is off. As The Hotline obligingly summarizes...
Kerry, in particular, has filled Democratic accounts more than almost any other Democratic Senator. Kerry staff estimates his three federal committees have given $3.5 million to Senate candidates and committees since the beginning of the cycle. They've also recorded more than $1.6 million in internet contributions from members of Kerry's e-mail list to Senate incumbents and challengers.
"Kerry, in particular..."

Sorry, heyjohn whoever you are, but this dog just won't hunt.

Still, I can't help who and why. If not the DSCC, well certainly not the DCCC. Can't imagine it being the DNC.

The RNC? Wouldn't be a shocker, but there's that damned "Democratic official" bit. Elected? Appointed? Hell, I'm a Democratic official. Officially. By an (admittedly paltry) vote of the people (there's a lot of dropoff for PCO).

Of course, there's another acronym (or should I say monogram) involving a 'C' that's in the mix. Couldn't help notice the polite applause for Senator Clinton.

"Even Hillary Clinton…has donated…"

Even Hillary, possessor of the largest political purse in Democratic politics. It's noble of her to step up, certainly. Her contribution to the DSCC is roughly a ten percent tithe from her war chest. Noble, but not particularly notable. Kerry's done more, in fact, actually and relatively.

He's also criss-crossed the country, building crowds for candidate's own fundraisers and organizing efforts, Senate, House, state and local candidates alike.

Hunt? Hell, this dog's dead.

So who's trying to, what'll we call it, check booking? Who's trying to check book Kerry?
