Obama Campaign uses President's "Underdog" Status as Fundraising Tool

In his latest email from the Obama regime campaign headquarters, Jim Messina, Campaign Manager - Obama for America is using the apparent slump in the polls regarding Obama to do some "underdog" fundraising; perhaps hoping to capitalize on the whole "everyone loves the underdog" sentiment.

The email, dated Mar 13, said:

"Friend --

If the general election were held today, President Obama would lose to Mitt Romney -- according to the latest poll from Washington Post-ABC News.

Now, many other polls put the President on top, but all point to the same reality: We're looking at a race that will be tighter than you think. And the other side has groups ready to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to tear down President Obama.

We cannot underestimate someone like Romney who has shown he will spend and say anything to win.

We need to turn up the pressure now.

If the idea of a President Romney scares you, it's time to own a piece of this campaign.

Donate $3 or more today"

Scare tactics and straw men. "If the idea of a President Romney scares you"? If there's anything scarier than "President Romney" it's four more years of Obama policies coming from the White House. That aside let's be honest - after Tuesday's wins by Santorum it could still be anyone's race. We may see this one be decided at the convention and whatever the case, every state should be allowed to vote for their man and see a nominee emerge from the GOP Convention. It's election time... it's not nasty or divisive... it's not unusual or a-typical. No-one who's still in should bow out as some suggest. This is the vetting process... and Barack Obama can be beaten by any one of them.
