If someone were paid by both the DNC and the Host Committee, there is an argument that they would have two hats and could raise for both organizations, but I would strongly advise against it because it would be very difficult to separate the two fundraising activities.  At some point I know that Kerrigan did some fundraising for the Host Committee and justified it by having the Host Committee pay him a consulting fee, but they only did it because they were in such a bad place with the fundraising and absolutely needed it.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;
