WASHINGTON, July 17 (JTA) — Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and 2004 presidential hopeful, recently spent the night at the Philadelphia home of Peter Buttenwieser.
That’s surprising, considering that Buttenwieser has given $2,000 to the presidential campaign of Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) — and to Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.).
A retired educator and fund-raiser for Democratic Senate candidates, Buttenwieser says he has given political contributions to six major Democratic contenders for the White House this year, including $2,000 to Dean. Personal relationships fostered over the years with the candidates and their supporters have led him to spread his wealth among the candidates and refrain from endorsing any one person, Buttenwieser said.
“It’s a little hard when someone says, ‘Will you be with me?’ ” Buttenwieser said. “But I honestly feel that with this group of people, all of them are good people.” More: http://www.jta.org/page_view_story.asp?intarticleid=13013&intcategoryid=3
