--
On July 7th, 2008, there was no Obama-Biden campaign -- Barack hadn't yet selected a VP.
We hadn't had one debate with John McCain, and most Americans had never heard Sarah Palin's name.
I want you to keep this in mind because we just passed the four-months-to-go marker in this election.
We should expect this one to change at any moment, too, and we have to be ready for some of those changes to not be in our favor -- like the fact that the Romney camp brought in $X million in June alone.
Please donate $X or more today and help close the gap.
In the next four months, we'll find out what getting outspent looks like. The crucial difference is that four years ago, the Koch brothers, Karl Rove, and anonymous billionaires weren't able to spend an unlimited amount of money attacking Barack in battleground states.
This is our reality now, but the only thing worse than a problem is a problem you do nothing about.
Tonight at midnight is the deadline to enter to join me for coffee and conversation out on the trail -- airfare, hotel, and the tab are all on us.
Hope we can sit down together soon:
