Democrats are panicking.
They are worried Republicans will win back the US Senate.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) sent out this email today.
Jim This is bad: Six Democrats are now trailing in the polls after $28 million in Koch attacks and if the Republicans win all six, the Senate is theirs.
But we will turn this around and stop them: our Grassroots Victory Project will invest $60 million into 4,000 field staff in 10 states to reverse the GOPs gains. To ensure the GVP is fully funded before the FEC deadline TOMORROW, we need you and 786 other Democrats to step up. Were TRIPLE MATCHING every gift for the next 24 hours.
Your $3 will equal $12 >>
Your $10 will equal $40 >>
Your $25 will equal $100 >>
Filling our Grassroots Victory Project funding hole would allow us to launch operations THIS WEEKEND in our closest battlegrounds. But falling short in the next 24 hours could means that the Koch brothers will open up an insurmountable lead for the GOP and our chances to stop a Senate takeover will be done for before Spring starts.
The reason things look so dire for the Democrats now is because the Republicans haven’t chosen their candidates yet.
Once Democrats like Kay Hagan learn who their opponents are, they and their media supporters will attack them with a merciless barrage of criticism, innuendoes, and false rumors, while the Republican candidates themselves are as likely as not to commit political suicide by insisting on blurting out their extremist positions on delicate subjects like abortion.
November is a long time away, and the Democrats’ politics of personal destruction is too deadly to warrant Republican optimism. It’s going to be a long year.
Wow, this is excellent news. If you look at the behavior of individual Democrat candidates, the fear is obvious and visceral.
Talk to me in November. Last I read, Romney was all but a shoe-in.
It’s not really news, we’ve seen the polls. (Not that all the gloomy gus’s on this thread care, 7 seats in states that Romney won folks).
I like that they are turning to this tactic to fundraise though.
“Reps have a particularly good skill set in blowing important elections.”
Yep. In the last election cycle we had Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin.
Mourdock (who I donated to) had his race wrapped up before his brain and mouth misfired in a televised debate.
Akin was, IIRC, slight ahead in his race against McCaskill before he had a case of mental diarrhea in a televised interview.
The list goes on and on...
BS. Poll in Colorado Gardner against Udall and I BET Udall is down.
The number is 7.
I just wonder if there’ll be anything left of the country by Nov. let alone 2016.
“Wow, this is excellent news..”
It sure is!
I think I’ll even dare to hope for a super majority, and if we All step up our efforts, maybe we can do that, too!
