Obama - Biden 
Yesterday, a terrifying experiment played out in Wisconsin.
Republican Governor Scott Walker, one of the least popular governors in the country, managed to hold on against challenger Tom Barrett in the statewide recall election.
After outspending his opponent nearly EIGHT to ONE.
Walker was challenged because he's spent the last year and a half promoting special interests and Republican ideologues, while taking away a seat at the table for middle-class families. But when his job was on the line, those same groups repaid the favors -- and were willing to spend nearly eight times as much money as the Democratic candidate and his allies raised.
That swung this election. This kind of corporate and special-interest spending is exactly what we could be up against this fall. Outside groups have already poured $75 million into ads attacking the President in key states -- and they've pledged to spend an unprecedented $1 billion. You can help close the gap.
Please donate $3 or more to support President Obama and make sure people, not special interests, decide this election.
Scott Walker's strategy in Wisconsin is straight out of Mitt Romney's playbook: In primary after primary against Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, he and his backers poured millions into negative ads until they got the result they wanted.
Last night, that strategy swung the election for Walker.
Now, imagine this same scenario playing out again in Wisconsin in November -- or in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Nevada, and the rest of the battleground states.
The other side has the money. They know they can swing the election if they spend it.
And they are being told every day by Mitt Romney that he will do exactly what they want him to.
