WTF? Weird email from the Obama campaign
They are raising like 10 times the cash that McCain is, and they are broke? Guess that TV ad buy drained their coffers. Or is the RNC just crazy loaded?
In any event, I'm not giving them another cent and I'm sure a lot of this is just them being dramatic to make people want to open their wallets, but it just struck me as odd.
I'm the Chief Financial Officer for Barack Obama's campaign. I track the donations coming in and the expenses going out.
I asked for the opportunity to write to you directly so that I could try to explain what's happening right now.
This organization has thousands of employees and spends millions of dollars a day -- and at the moment we're doing it without a safety net.
Our spending plans have been stretched by John McCain's negative attacks and the overwhelming resources of the Republican National Committee.
As of October 15th, John McCain and the RNC together had nearly $20 million more in cash than the combined total of Obama for America and the DNC. And just this week, we're facing new and unexpected spending against us in Montana and West Virginia.
Your incredible generosity has gotten us this far. But right now we need your help more than ever to get this campaign across the finish line.
Please donate $25 or whatever you can afford right now:

My team and I are working to stretch every dollar in order to keep as many paths to victory open as possible. But we need whatever help you can provide for this crucial final stretch.
Thank you,
MM

Re: WTF? Weird email from the Obama campaign
dumb - its so close to the election!
Personally I am just sick at the amount of money being spent in this campaign. I just keep thinking of all the poor children around the world we could feed with these millions of dollars.
I'm receiving insane amount of political mail on a daily basis now and every time I get the mail and toss it directly into the recycle bin, I always think about how many forests are being destroyed for this mess.
