Sen. Nelson is the latest Democrat to transfer cash to the party from his campaign account:
Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson -- ahead in the polls and in fundraising -- transferred another $250,000 to the Florida Democratic Party on Thursday, a sign that his campaign is confident of a win and in his ability to help his party.Nelson already had given $250,000 to the state party in September and raised another $600,000 for the party and tight races for governor, attorney general and chief financial officer.The Orlando Democrat also raised or donated $1.2 million to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, bringing his total contribution to the party in the 2006 elections to $2.3 million.
There are others. The point of the Use It Or Lose It campaign isn't to give kudos for money "raised" for others. Those are usually merely campaign appearances that also serve to further their own political ends, or an email blast in which politicians take credit for the generosity of their list members. Those help, but they aren't what we've been talking about.
We're talking about digging into their bank accounts, and Nelson has done so to the tune of $500K to the Florida Democratic Party (which is helping run several competitive state and federal races), and an undisclosed amount more for the DSCC. This is particularly encouraging given that he's still working to put Katherine Harris' political career out of its misery.
