From today’s Alan Keyes fundraising appeal:

The mainstream media and the political “experts” said it
couldn’t be done…

But Alan Keyes is actually CLOSING IN on Barack Obama, and
the Illinois media is in an uproar! YOU can help “Close
The Gap” today:

As the press is reporting, in less than two months, the
Keyes campaign raised over 1.3 MILLION dollars… and the
Obama campaign “burned through” over 8 MILLION, with very
little to show for it.

That leaves the two campaigns NEARLY EVEN in cash-on-hand
for this “final stretch” to election day! The GAME is ON
like never before — and we can WIN this race, just by
CLOSING THE GAP!

No comment, I just like to repeat a good joke.

Rich - just remember, this solicitation letter was sent to conservative Republican donors who have already contributed to Alan Keyes’ campaign. Let’s face it, if they were dumb enough to write the turkey a check the first-time, they’re probably dumb enough to be fooled by this idiotic solicitation.

What’s worse, this solicitation was also sent to potential Republican donors deemed by some overpaid consultant as “likely to contribute” to Alan Keyes. I’m betting your Republican readers who didn’t receive that letter are thanking God they weren’t considered dumb enough to make the cut for the “Stupid Donor List”…and I’ll bet the ones who did get it are groaning a collective “DOH!”

Dude, you are giving that campaign far too much credit. You make them sound almost sophisticated.
