Emerson donates to Democrat

It's only $218.50, but what does it express?

Jo Ann Emerson will ask Republicans to help by marching in parades, manning booths and phone banks and donating money. Should they ask, "We support Jo Ann, does she support us?"

According to the Federal Election Commission website, incumbent congresswoman Emerson, making $170,000 per year, has made two donations to the 2010 federal races. She donated $10 to her own campaign, and she donated $218.50 to the campaign of Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz from Florida.

Who is Democrat Wasserman Schultz? From her website: "As a Chief Deputy Whip, Rep. Wasserman Schultz works to help advance important legislation. This role places her on the leadership team of the House of Representatives. In her first term, Rep. Wasserman Schultz served as a Senior Whip, the only freshman chosen to serve on the Whip team."

Democrat Wasserman-Schultz is also a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee.
