DailyKos: Not a single Dem took Abramoff money. Democrats have to set the record straight one misinformed person at a time. Dean took point on Wolf Blitzer:

Every person indicted is a Republican. This is a Republican finance scandal. There is no evidence that Jack Abramoff ever gave any Democrat any money.
