I just got an email from Scott McAdams. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as it is election season and the final day is fast approaching. But this fundraising request is special.
For those of you who don't already know, Scott McAdams is a pretty cool guy. I know many of you met him at Netroots Nation and it's great to know that he proudly hangs with folks like us, no entourage in tow.
In his email to me, he mentions Daily Kos right off the bat. Then, he quotes numbers from Joan McCarter's frontpage piece AK-SEN: McAdams has momentum, Murkowski attacks
You just gotta love a politician who boldly embraces those that support him. Early on, several of us compared McAdams to Alan Grayson. I think he will be at least as good. And, if we manage to win this one, it will mean 6 years of McAdams! What a difference that could make!
So here is what McAdams would like us to remember from Joan's great piece:
Anchorage women: 30% Miller | 28% Murkowski | 26% McAdams.
Last week it was 31% Miller | 36% Murkowski | 23% McAdams.
Murkowski is losing support from women and Scott is gaining.
Undecided Voters are now up to 13%.
Last week they were at 6%.This never happens!
As Election Day nears, undecideds normally go DOWN. This means people are changing their minds.
Also, 53% of the undecided voters are in Anchorage.
This election is very winnable!
Here's Scott's request:
The tide is changing so Miller and Murkowski have gone on the attack! Now, more than ever, we need your help to push back against these attacks!
Give $25, $50 or $100 to help Scott defend himself against last-minute attacks from Miller & Murkowski. We’re making thousands of phone calls all over Alaska every night to get these undecided voters—but help us reach the ones we can’t get on the phone.
The link directs you to a special fundraising page which once again mentions Daily Kos. You've just got to feel good about this guy.
The email ends with a link to Rachel Maddow's Alaska Show. I'm sharing 5 of the best minutes of it with you! You can always visit the her page to see the whole show!
Go, Scott, Go!
