David: Really, Bill? Really?
An email sent out to Hillary Clinton supporters:
Quote President William Jefferson Clinton
Dear Friend,
This is a hard-fought campaign. You and I both know it. And now the Obama campaign has upped the stakes again.
In just 24 hours, you closed the $1.3 million advertising gap with Obama this week. In response, their campaign has bought another $1.9 million worth of airtime.
For Hillary to win on March 4, we must close this gap -- and we have to do it quickly. We cannot let this race be decided by Obama's spending advantage on the air.
I think that it's also being decided by his superior debate performances, ideas and ethics, but I'm sure the ads don't hurt either...
Quote Prez Clinton
Help Hillary make up the $1.9 million spending gap in 24 hours with your contribution today.
I'm sure you figured, "Hell, if we can talk them into putting $1.3 million into our sinking ship in just one day, how much more are they good for?" Sadly, I think that you may have tapped out those left willing to donate.
Quote Bill Clinton
The ads we put on the air matter. The number of phone calls we make matters. The rides we give to the polls matter. And most important of all, what you do right now matters.
We have the best candidate with the best ideas -- and she's a fighter. She's knows that you are standing with her every step of the way.
So let's show the Obama campaign that they can't win this race just by throwing more money at it.
...by throwing more money at it...
Quote Clinton, Bill
Let's match that $1.9 million ad buy of his and make sure this is a race of ideas, because that's a race that we know Hillary will win.
Since when has a political ad contained a candidates ideas?
Quote President Clinton
Contribute now to help us raise $1.9 million in 24 hours.
You've shown Hillary that you are there for her when she needs you, and it means so much to the both of us. Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
