HYANNIS PORT, Mass. (AP) — For
$100,000, Democratic Party donors
will be able to spend a Camelot
weekend at the storied Kennedy fam
ily compound in Hyannis Port where
Jack, Bobby and Teddy used to play
touch football.
For decades. Democrats have hap
pily given money to visit Kennedy
homes and help out the latest
Kennedy running for office.
But the $100,000-a-head retreat on
Cape Cod, scheduled for September,
marks the first time the home will be
used for a major, national campaign
contribution drive.
It’s part of a fund-raising drive led
by Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., to
retake the House. Kennedy, 31, the
youngest son of Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy, D-Mass., is head of the De
mocratic Congressional Campaign
Committee.
“It’s sort of irresistible, if you can
afford it, to get a peek into how the
royal family lives and plays,’’ said
Dan Payne, a Boston political consul
tant. “For some people, an affiliation
with the Kennedys is sort of a life
goal.”
