Here are the senders and subject lines of e-mails I've got in the last few days asking for campaign contributions:
DCCC Breaking News: Throw in the towel
Democrats 2014: Heart-wrenching defeat
Democratic Headquarters: Doomed
ActBlue: Nate Silver Says We'll Lose
Nancy Pelosi: Boehner is already bragging
Is it any surprise that pollsters say Democrats are disheartened and turnout is depressed?
Just stop it, please. If you have marketers who claim this is effective, fire them. Then try something like this:
"We have a GREAT message about what we can do for America! Please help us tell it!"
