MA-5: Almost There!
by Patrick Ruffini :: September 26th, 2007 10:03 amWe’re up to $6,962 from 136 donors for Jim Ogonowski for Congress, and today’s the deadline.
Since it’s pretty clear we’ll break through the 150 donor mark, why don’t we make it 175 donors by the fundraising deadline at midnight? $10,000 would be a nice round number to reach by October 16th, but right now, we’re focusing on getting as many donors as possible. Can you chip in, even if it’s just $5 or $10?
Here’s what Human Events had to say about this race yesterday:
There are more concrete signs that if Lt. Col. Ogonowski can raise enough money to stay on the airwaves, he can win the district. A recent SurveyUSA poll shows him trailing Tsongas by only ten points. As his anti-Congress message is heard, these numbers could close. After all, he is running against a Congress whose approval rating is presently eleven percent. And the Democratic base could be dispirited following another expected cave-in by their leadership on funding the war in September. The Tsongas campaign is clearly worried, as is illustrated by the fact that they have called in Bill Clinton to campaign for her.
The reality is that Jim Ogonowski will be outspent in this race. Democratic insiders have poured $1.2 million into Niki Tsongas’s campaign. Because he has a strong message and a volunteer-driven campaign, Jim doesn’t need $1.2 million — but he does need enough to respond to the attacks coming in the next 20 days. Why not give $120, $12, or any amount ending in $.12 to stand up to the Democratic machine in Massachusetts?
And if you live near the district, please consider volunteering for the final 96 hours before Election Day.
