Franken Camp: Coleman Is Desperate, Knows He's Going To Lose TPM Election Central | Talking Points Memo |

TPM Election Central | Talking Points Memo | Franken Camp: Coleman Is Desperate, Knows He's Going To Lose: “In a press briefing just now, a very exuberant Franken campaign put forward a clear message about today's big news that the wrongly-rejected absentee ballots can be counted, which the Coleman campaign is trying to halt by going to court: Norm Coleman is desperate, because he knows he's going to lose.

The shift in tone from the Franken camp, compared to their more defensive posture in previous calls, reflects just how suddenly the dynamics of the race have shifted in his favor today.”

Senator Barbara Boxer Turns 68 - Help Us Raise $68,000 As A Gift

I got this email from Doug Boxer, California Senator Barbara Boxer's son and a friend:

Dear Zennie,

We've got less than $5,000 to go to reach our $68,000 goal in honor of my mom's 68th birthday. Join nearly 1,000 Boxer supporters and help put us over the top. Click here to contribute today!

Tuesday night, the Boxer family gathered to celebrate my mom's birthday -- and she was thrilled when I told her that, as a special gift, nearly 1,000 members of our BarbaraBoxer.com community had come together to support her re-election campaign!

Now, we've got less than $5,000 to go to reach our $68,000 goal in honor of my mom's 68th birthday.  Will you join nearly 1,000 Boxer supporters and help put us over the top?

Please contribute today -- and help us reach our $68,000 grassroots fundraising goal, in honor of my mom's 68th birthday. Even $5 will make a huge difference!

We know that Barbara Boxer will be one of the right-wing's top targets in 2010.  In fact, two opponents officially launched their campaigns yesterday!  I know we just finished one election, but my mom needs your help now as she prepares for a tough campaign two short years from now.

Thanks to the wave of Democratic victories across the country last Tuesday, including President-elect Barack Obama's historic election, I know my mom will always remember her 68th birthday.

Now let's make her birthday celebration even more memorable.  Please contribute to my mom's re-election campaign today -- and help us reach our $68,000 grassroots goal!

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,

Doug Boxer

P.S. It's not too late!  Your contribution, today, will put a big, red bow on our grassroots fundraising drive to celebrate my mom's 68th birthday.  Please join nearly 1,000 BarbaraBoxer.com supporters and contribute now.  Thanks!

Again, give the Senator a hand, just $5 will help, but whatever you can do.  Then pass on this blog post.  Senator Boxer has been a liberal friend to all of us, and especially in California.
