Well it would seem that our old friend ‘Dingy Harry’ might be starting to do a little sweating. Because word now comes that he must have felt the need to send out yet another one of his little distress signals, issuing an urgent appeal for campaign contributions. In so doing he cited some recent polls that show several Democrat candidates, including three incumbent senators, currently involved in some pretty tight races.
It was in this most recent mailing of his, which was sent out just today, that old ‘Dingy’ stated, "Polling is close in 11 states, and only six seats protect us from Republican control over everything from the future of healthcare reform to the next Supreme Court nomination." And of course, it’s for those very same reasons that we must work as hard as we can on our side to defeat as many Democrats as we can come this November.
And of course old ‘Dingy’ just wouldn’t have been himself if he had passed up the opportunity to take a pot shot, or two, at those evil "cult leaders" or the right, Charles and David Koch. Old ‘Dingy" said, "The Koch Brothers and Karl Rove are pouring a mountain of cash into taking over the Senate." He notes that winning four tightly contested states "is essential if we're going to stop them." But it’s old ‘Dingy’ that must be stopped!
‘Dingy’ plea for money focused on those four states and the amount of money that the GOP spent this week on the campaigns in his fundraising appeal: In North Carolina, Democrat Kay Hagan is tied at 44 percent with state Rep. Thom Tillis. The GOP spent $732,667 there this week. Democrat incumbent, Mark Pryor in Arkansas, leads Rep. Tom Cotton by just one percentage point, 46 to 45. Republican spending this week is $337,158.
‘Dingy’ also mentioned the fact that incumbent Democrat Mark Begich is tied at 42 percent with Alaska's Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Daniel Sullivan as well as the fact that the GOP spent $296,401 for the week. ‘Dingy’ also cited the Kentucky race, where Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes trails Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell by two percentage points, 46 to 44. Spending is $233,370.
‘Dingy’ pleaded that, "we need you to make a contribution before midnight tonight." ‘Dingy’ sent out a similar appeal last month, mentioning three of the same races, but including the Colorado fight between incumbent Democrat Mark Udall and Republican challenger Rep. Cory Gardner rather than the Kentucky election. So maybe he feels that race is no longer a problem which should prompt us all to send Mr. Gardner some more money.
