No wonder Cantwell won't talk to reporters about her huge debts:

Night and day

"By day, the Senate approved a campaign finance overhaul proposal that would assist congressional candidates who face challenges from self-financed millionaires," the New York Times noted in a new story.

"By night, Senate Democrats repaired to the palatial Embassy Row home of a millionaire senator, John Edwards of North Carolina, to raise money for Maria Cantwell, who used $10.3 million of her Internet fortune to win her Senate seat from Washington state in November," reporter Philip Shenon wrote in yesterday's editions of the newspaper.

"The long black sedans snaked up and down 30th Street on Tuesday night to drop off guests willing to help Sen. Cantwell pay off a $4.2 million campaign debt that became even more worrisome after the collapse of her high-tech stock portfolio. 'Please make checks payable to Cantwell 2000 Debt,' the invitation said. '$1,000 maximum donation.'

"The timing was hard to ignore. In a week in which the Senate had begun its debate on overhauling the campaign finance system — a system, lawmakers complain, that forces them into a never-ending hunt for cash — a group of senators had left Capitol Hill and gone straight to a big-money fund-raiser."
