I got a letter from George Allen asking for money for his re-election campaign today. He didn't waste time asking for it either, the request for money was in the third paragraph. He must think a very popular and rich democrat is going to run against him....
The letter states,
Not only am I the target of a resurgent liberal Democrat Party withing Virginia.....I am also being targeted by the national Democrats and by their liberal special interest allies.
And he goes on,
Believe me these liberals are angry, angry because of my strong support for President Bush
Ummm, dude have you checked W's approval ratings lately? I know you are from a red state, but Virginia almost went to Kerry. I don't know why you think your base would be in Northern Virginia (where I live) which went overwhelming for Kerry. Virginia is not Alabama or Mississippi, it is moving to the center. And those little blue spots NoVa and Richmond and the Tidewater will eventually merge and become one big blue spot in Virginia.
Then here comes the kicker,
And that's why the national Democrats will work hard to recruit a multi-millionaire to run against me
Gee and all this time I thought the GOP was the party that attracted the wealthy and looked out for the interests of the wealthy. You mean your far right politics have alienated your base? Maybe you should have all those pictures of you with the noose and confederate flag burned. Maybe you stop hanging out with Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. Too bad about that 100% Christian Coaliion voting record.
Not only will his opponent be rich, he will have
liberal money from Emily's List, NOW, George Soros, and MoveOn.org will come pouring into his or her campaign from liberal donors all across the country
Yet he says his opponent will be self financing twice in the letter. Which is it Georgie? Is your opponent going to pay his own way or not?
So who is this wealthy Democrat George Allen is so scared of that he would send a letter to a not so wealthy democrat begging for money? Could it be MARK WARNER? Or someone else?
