#1 Why did Kerry keep $15mm in the bank? To pay for litigation over the result of the election. The election just turned out not to be close enough to litigate. I think the money should be given to Tereza to compensate her for having to shake hands with all of those little people. It must have been ghastly for her.

#2 And so, the infighting begins.

Where's the popcorn?

#3 Hey, back off, it's the first real money the shitbag has ever "earned". No rich women, just a bunch of gullible lefties.

#4 Agree with you, Matt...
"10,000 lawyers in the wings" would have burned through that by lunchtime...strike that, morning coffee break.

#6 He might use part of that to repay that Wells Fargo bridge loan / mortgage he took against Teresa's his Beacon Hill mansion for $6 million. I haven't seen anything saying that Kerry's paid this off yet, so I'm assuming he didn't. He's a dumb mofo if he hasn't as the spread between money market rates and his (at least) 4.5% on the loan rate doesn't make any financial sense.

#7 Matt - Actually, there was another $7M in a litigation account for after the election. The $15M should have all been spent pre-election. I'm SO sorry he's not doing the planning for the USG now ...

#8 Raj, Kerry and financial sense go together like Maria Teraza and self-restraint. This is why Kerry chases millionairesses.

#9 VAMark -- thanks for the catch. I've also seen reports that the "leftover" amount was actually $45M.

Maybe he just couldn't decide how to spend it.
