16. As to HRC';s lobbyists and PAC contributions, will she vow to follow the Kerry precedent?
"Group seeks details on lobbyist meetings



A watchdog group is trying to get the remaining presidential contenders to live up to what it is billing as the "Kerry precedent."

The Center for Public Integrity this week noted that in April 2004, shortly after he locked up the Democratic nomination for president, Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., took the unprecedented step of releasing details of every meeting he had held with a lobbyist dating to 1989.

Kerry revealed nearly 200 meetings with lobbyists in an attempt to say he could defend every one. The group is asking this year's candidates to take the same pledge. But according to a statement it issued this week, none has taken the time to respond to the Center's inquiries."

The same question should of course be asked of Obama and McCain. Will they be as open on this as Senator Kerry was?
