I wonder if it would be possible for Jerry Brown and Andrew Cuomo to donate most of their campaign

war chests to the Democratic Governors Association? I know Jerry Brown is sitting on 20 million at least and he is winning by 16% points. I bet Andrew Cuomo has at least 10 million and is leading by 20 points.

That kind of money could put the Democrats running in Florida, Kansas, Michigan and Wisconsin over the finish line.

I know the Democrats in Colorado, Illinois and Connecticut are running close races as well. 30+ million could help here as well.

With regards to Massachusetts, we all know Coakley isn't a good candidate so whether so she wins will have less to do with money and I don't even mention Ohio because unfortunately that is a lost cause. They should have had a contested primary in that state.
