‘Are we blowing this?’: McAuliffe and friends plead for online cash.
Politico ^ | 10/10/2021 | ZACH MONTELLARO

Joe Biden checked in. So did Stacey Abrams. And James Carville reached out — over 40 times in the last three months.

As the Virginia gubernatorial race careens toward the finish line, with just over three weeks to go, fundraising emails from former Gov. Terry McAuliffe and other Democrats are sounding the alarm. The McAuliffe campaign has tapped the aforementioned big names to sign emails: Biden urged supporters to chip in because “folks, the Virginia Governor’s race is a big deal not just for the Commonwealth but for our country.” Abrams’ email let everyone know, “All eyes are on Virginia.” And McAuliffe emailed his supporters last week with a simple question: “Are we blowing this?”

But there’s hardly been a more prolific email signer than the Ragin’ Cajun himself. Since July 14, Carville has signed his name to 47 different emails sent through the McAuliffe campaign.

Like other emails from Virginia Democrats, the Carville-signed missives have slammed on the panic button in recent weeks, as the race between McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin has tightened. Many of them are standard fare, trying to create a sense of urgency among grassroots donors.

But others highlight a greater concern: Carville’s hair. The famously bald strategist-turned-political celebrity told supporters of the former Virginia governor that he was "tearing my hair out" on both Sept. 1 and Sept. 2. By the end of the month, it was too late. "I'm not going to have much hair left," was the subject line on Sept. 27.

Uhhh…where, exactly, is tearing this hair from?

If he’s tearing his hair out, and he is bald, from where is he tearing said hair?

Youngkin has to pull ahead to beyond the margin of cheating.

Why are they worried? Northern Virginia will come through with the great “Thank you, may I have another?” vote dump on election night. Again.

He’s asking left-wingers to max out their CC,

Remember the Tea Party!!

I figured they were very low on funding there are hardly any ads for McCauliffe and I’m just North in MD.

“Are we blowing this?”

Yes, as tough as that is to swallow.

“Are we blowing this?”

You’ll have to show me “this”.

On second thought, let’s not do that.

White liberal 'elites' have lots of money - what they can't steal they'll try to buy...

Time for some left wing tactics to clinch this -

Call his campaign acting as if you’re on the fence about donating.

Get a call from his help, keep them on the phone as long as you can.
