Embattled Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz., CD1) has sent out a truly bizarre fund-raising e-mail which shows the panic over-taking her campaign. The message starts with news of Kirkpatrick's impending defeat, followed by the start of a Kirkpatrick concession speech the day after the November election.
While most candidates – especially incumbents – put on a brave face and at least feign confidence, the pro-stimulus, pro-Obamacare Kirkpatrick is all but conceding the race to her grassroots challenger, Dr. Paul Gosar.
I've included the email below in its entirety (HTML email at the link)

Good, I want them to feel fear.
The funny thing is that most of her supporters aren’t going to even read the whole letter. :-)
It has been an honor to represent the folks of this district these past two years. I was born and raised in the White Mountains, and this is my home-the only home I've ever known. It's where I've worked my whole life and where I raised my two daughters.Lets see if this is what she actually says at 8:30 MT on November 2nd.
Now I know folks will start to speculate where things went wrong and why we fell short, but let's reflect for a moment on what we were able to accomplish in just two short years. We passed a recovery package that prevented our economy from falling off a cliff and saved the jobs of thousands of teachers, firefighters, and law enforcement officers. It wasn't perfect, and I was brutally attacked for supporting it, but it delivered relief at a critical time when our country and state badly needed it.
Then we tackled our broken health care system - an issue that had long been too difficult to handle. The special interests may have targeted me for my vote, but I am proud of all we accomplished. We can only hope that your new Congressman, Paul Gosar, won't succeed in his plans to repeal the progress we made. That would not be fair to families who can now finally cover a child with pre-existing conditions, who now don't have to worry about caps on coverage if they are chronically ill, and who can pay their premiums each month knowing that their coverage won't be taken away when they need it most.
I want to thank you all for...
I wonder how many of them will read the first part and then not even bother to vote?
I hope that Gifford takes note as she is going down too.
I know I am voting for Gosar. One of the few Republicans my conscious will allow me to vote for.
John McCain? Not in this lifetime.
The idea of Gifford going down paints a disturbing mental image. You should choose your words more carefully.
Unless she has it translated into Spanish (for those who can read at all).
There - fixed it.
If Mcueeg can win in AXZ, so can Kirkpatrick. Conservatives let not her leetter put you into deep slumber!
Posting from your crackberry?
I was a little disappointed when I discovered that this thread was not about Gabby :0(
I would love to see Giffords lose. It would make my night. I would jump up and down for weeks.
Most of her supporters probably CAN’T read the whole letter.
It reads like what the suicide watch people call “a cry for help”.
I just love it when you talk dirty.
