 My friend Tim Ryan tells me his campaign has hit a fundraising slump that they cannot seem to break out of, John, and that spells trouble. GOP super PACs are swarming because they smell chum in the water, and they see an opportunity to boost JD’s sinking campaign, now that Tim’s lead has all but dried up. Mark my words: We won’t have a chance in hell to expand our Senate majority if we cannot keep Tim’s campaign afloat. Tim’s got the narrowest of leads in the polls, but JD’s rich backers won’t go down without a fight.  If your ship doesn’t come in, John, you’ve got to swim out and meet it—so can I count on you to have Tim and Emilia’s back by chipping in $10 right now to combat the super PAC feeding frenzy?
They say “a rising tide lifts all boats,” and that couldn’t be more true if it were written specifically about Democrats’ Senate and House prospects this year. Tim winning in Ohio would help all our Democratic candidates, because he’s drawing Mitch McConnell’s attention (and wallet) to the Buckeye State, and to a race that he’d long thought he had in the bag. Expanding our Democratic Senate and House majorities won’t be easy, but if we win in Ohio, it’s not just possible—it’s damn-near guaranteed. So what do you say, John? Will you join me in supporting Tim and Emilia by pitching in $10 to their campaigns? Winning these races and flipping Ohio blue won’t be easy, but I promise you it will be worth it.
Thanks, James Carville |
