Urgent Message from Shaheen for Senate Campaign

by NewHampster, Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 02:52:29 PM EST

Dear Friend,

Tuesday, Jonathan sent out an urgent video message from me. (If you missed it - you can still watch it here). (ed. NewHampster suggests everyone watch)

I explained to you the biggest challenge facing our campaign. We are fighting on two fronts: facing down John Sununu's $3 million cash on hand advantage and the right-wing groups that are dumping tons of money into attack ads against Jeanne Shaheen. This has led to a $500,000 gap in our campaign budget.

Many have already taken action and contributed.

Thank you.

If you have not yet - now is the time. The full weight of Sununu's war chest and the right-wing attack groups will fall in the next few weeks.

If we want a new direction in Washington, then we need a new Senator.

Robby Mook
Campaign Manager
Jeanne Shaheen for Senate

Thank you, NH... (2.00 / 4)

Thanks for the update, and I hope we'll be seeing more of you here promoting Democrats. Btw, have you seen this?

Jeanne's one of our C4O All-Stars! :-)

No way, no how, no McCain! :-)

Re: Thank you, NH... (2.00 / 3)

Yes indeed. I hope we'll see this diarist promoting the democratic candidate for president.

The future is unwritten

So do I... (2.00 / 1)

Or at the very least, promoting downticket Democrats if they'd rather not focus on the Presidential race. As long as these folks are working for Democrats and not trying to tear down any Democrats, I'm happy. :-)

No way, no how, no McCain! :-)

Hamp was promoting and supporting Democrats before you were born.

So was Joe Lieberman.

I have that readiness.

And now he's supporting PUMAs:

From Alegres Asylum, I mean Corner.

These fine people are proud members of PUMA. They have some great videos and quite frankly some very sad documentation of how Obama has ignored their cause.

and now... (none / 0)

"Hamp" is perpetuating quote mines from Dana Milbank accusing "Bambi" (his term) of arrogance by deliberately distorting and lying about a statement that was utterly humble.

I don't really have interest in longevity of party purity, having been an independent for a decent amount of time. I actually have interest in good policy and judging candidates on their merits, rather than whatever lying smear best serves my prejudices.

I suppose NH believes differently.

How about you?

That still does not (none / 0)

excuse "Hamp"'s consistent grasping of straws against our presidential nominee.

Re: So do I... (1.00 / 1)

He was also supporting pornography and strippers while at the same time promoting womens issues. His cohorts never seem to grasp or comment how creepy that is.

Re: Thank you, NH... (2.00 / 4)

Yeah. I prefer your 'downticket' posts.

Re: Urgent Message from Shaheen... (2.00 / 2)

How are her poll numbers looking?

No way. No how. No McCain.

by freedom78 on Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 03:35:31 PM EST

Re: Urgent Message from Shaheen... (2.00 / 2)

Her poll numbers are pretty good

Latest Res. poll has her up by 15 as of July 24. But NH is right she's short cash and Sununu has a lot.

Now if NewHampster would just get on board with the Presidential race.

Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.

Re: Urgent Message from Shaheen... (2.00 / 1)

Actually, I think it says she's up five, but was up about 15 a month ago. Anyway...good to know she's still up. As soon as I start this new job, I'll probably dole out $10 here and there, and she's near the top of my list, both because she needs the money and isn't so far ahead or behind that it won't matter.

And "Amen!" on the Presidential sentiment, though it goes to show how silly some of the Republican/McTroll/Red Stater nonsense is around here. I don't know of any McCainiacs who are so committed to spreading anti Obama sentiment on Democratic sites that they go so far as to try to raise money for other Democrats, thus boosting their own credibility.

No way. No how. No McCain.

Ooops you're right. Sloppy fingers and sloppier math.

Sorry about that.

NH Sen is still looking quite blue. But still, we shouldn't take this one for granted...
