Pretty sad when you have to try and scare your supporters into donating.

If e-mails from the Democrats’ campaign committees are to be taken seriously, Republicans are in pretty fantastic shape for 2014. E-mail blasts sent by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee over the last few weeks — ingenuous or not — would suggest the party has descended into panic.
A few examples:
- A DCCC e-mail on January 23, with the subject line “devastating” [sic], starts out this way: “Friends — this could be devastating. News just broke that Boehner’s political arm is going ALL-IN to defeat Democratic candidate Alex Sink in the upcoming Florida special election.”
- Another e-mail from the D-trip on Sunday is subject-lined “bad news (today)” and stokes fears about the Koch brothers’ efforts at “destroying President Obama’s progressive State of the Union agenda.” “[A]nd it all starts TODAY,” the e-mail reads, with an ominous reference to the conservative mega-donors’ annual conference.
- A DSCC e-mail subject line last week included very few capital letters and lots of despondence: “dire,” “in danger,” “tightening,” and “serious trouble.”
- The DSCC also seems to think Republicans have a very good shot at winning back the Senate in November. “According to MSNBC’s projections, we WILL lose the Senate if we can’t respond. That’s why it’s so absolutely critical that 4,000 folks renew their membership to the DSCC before TOMORROW at midnight.” Republicans are just 4,000 unrenewed memberships away from flipping the Senate? Interesting.
