In a fundraising e-mail to supporters, Judith Giuliani says that anyone who makes a contribution to Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign this week will be entered in a contest to win a trip to New York to spend some time with him at ground zero.

It would be if it actually happened. It didn't.
But in a fundraising e-mail to supporters, Elizabeth Edwards says that anyone who makes a contribution to John Edwards' presidential campaign this week will be entered in a contest to win a trip to New Orleans to work with him in an area hit by Hurricane Katrina.
Fair comparison? And if not, why not?

Clergy say, "I won't"
And still our vote mattered
