Clinton Secures Key Kerry Supporters

The decision by John Kerry to count himself out of the race for the Democratic nomination has left an extensive range of his political supporters and fundraisers up for grabs.

Although one of Kerry's largest donors in New England, Alan D Solomont has already committed to Barack Obama, many of the others are heading Hillary's way.

So far, the Clinton camp has secured:

Former chairman of the Democratic National Committee - Steve Grossman
John Kerry's New England finance director in 2004 - Jonathan Patsavos
Boston philanthropists - Elaine Shuster, Barbara Lee and Swanee Hunt.
Chair of Kerry's Rhode Island fundraising in 2004 - Mark Weiner
Chair of Kerry's Maine fundraising in 2004 - Anthony Buxton
