Skip to comments.Democrats: White House and Senate 'Out of Reach' If Fundraising Doesn't Increase
Posted on 07/10/2012 3:14:08 PM PDT by library user
Democrats are continuing to sound the alarm about this upcoming election. And the latest alarm bell is being rung by Senator Patty Murray, chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Using a reverse psychology ploy to gin up support from Democratic donors, Murray writes, in an email to supporters, that "If we dont close this gap now, the White House and Senate will be out of reach before Labor Day."
Murray makes clear that the impetus for her sounding alarm is the fundraising gap between Republican Mitt Romney and Democrat Barack Obama. "The good news: Democrats set fundraising records in June. The bad news: Mitt Romney did tooand outraised President Obama by more than 30%," writes Murray.
In the month of June, Romney and the Republican National Committee outraised President Obama and the Democratic National Committee by a cool $35 million. Last month, Romney raised $106 million to Obama's $71 million.
Murray's plea is for supporters to act now. "Please give $5 right now. We must raise $100,000 TODAY to close this gap," she writes.
Earlier today, President Obama, also in an email to supporters, suggested that this election will test the democratic model.
"This election will be a test of the model that got us here," Obama wrote. "We'll learn whether it's still true that a grassroots campaign can elect a president -- whether ordinary Americans are in control of our democracy in the face of massive spending."
Gee, and just who's doing all that spending? The Democrats! Even if I were a Marxist, I couldn't donate to Øbama. Why? Because sooner or later I'm gonna need to hang on to the money I have!
Could this be an exaggeration to increase fund raising?
I think to a certain extent, but I also think the Dem's know that they're in trouble come Nov.
Whining is such an unattractive trait....
At least appeal to the burden of white guilt we all know that the big-bux entertainment figures are so boastful of. That has been a reliable source in the past.
Or is that drying up too?
The piss poor economy has its upside in this case.
Could it be the diminishing power of the unions is being felt in the pockets of the Collectivist politicians?
And the TARP and stimulus and QE2 funds are about all spent up too. Time to check under the couch cushions, Dems.
Just looking at the arithmetic here -
$106 million is 49% MORE than $71 million.
Conversely -
$71 million is 33% LESS than $106 million.
I think everything is propaganda from the DNC. Looking at the numbers, they do bear out what they are saying...but if they didn't want this story out there...they would simply lie.
So you have to ask yourself: WHY are they admitting it?
1) To increase fundraising.
2) To show the "evil" rich right.
3) To set up an excuse...
4) To give an illusion...so that when they do start getting the money in...they can spin it to how people trust the president's leadership.
"The thrill is gone,
The thrill is gone away..."
The ONLY people that will never turn away from a destructive Liberal are the entertainment/media crowd. There are a few conservatives in that mess, but they are few and far between...and even these try to hide it for fear of being black balled.
I get such a kick out of the playwright David Mamet...he had an epiphany a couple of years ago and is now a staunch Conservative...it's fascinating hearing his story. And, a hoot when a dip stick Liberal hears of his change of mind. They can't believe somebody so "smart" would do such a dumb thing!
As Obama steals every dime from every pocket he can reach while wispering sweet nothing promises in their ears, his "base" slides into bankruptcy. Hard to squeeze campain money from an EBT.
Socialism is great, till you run out of other peoples money...
Dems are hurting in the cash department. Pubs will pick up around 10 or more seats in the Senate.
And that "model" would be - organizing the Leeches to get behind a candidate which hates everything America has stood for and laughs at the morals of all of recorded history.
Okay I heard Mark Levin, and I remember either Rush or Sean said it, that they do not count UNION $$$$$.
Obama is a liar...... he has untold funds kicked back from green loans to commit to his campaign
What he and they are doing now is beg for money to cover the illicit money. The money must be laundered
Never forget........ the Democrat party is a criminal enterprise
Self interested business people for whom ideology is secondary direct it toward whom they think will win. They're either holding back for now or betting on Romney.
I agree.
Bad sign for the Golden Child.
I'm not convinced....but seeing a trend down, down, down for Down Low Barry.
"Obama wrote. "We'll learn whether it's still true that a grassroots campaign can elect a president — whether ordinary Americans are in control of our democracy in the face of massive spending."
What's the matter, you jug-earred Alinskyite—can't get your billionaire buddies and foreign mohammedan backers to kick in this time around?
Nope...Throwing the BS flag on this....Soros has plenty of funds at his disposal and will launder everything Choombama needs...if he needs. He would far rather have the zombies foot the bill first, but if that doesn;t pan out, don;t think the purple lipped prince will be in trouble.

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN PLUS Bayshore Inn Eureka
Nice hotel, but..........
We found our room at the Bayshore Inn to be VERY clean and comfortable with the exception of one thing. Our fireplace radiated heat continually, even with the thermostat shut completely off. The temp in the room was almost 90. When the clerk came to check it for us, we were advised that they could not do anything but open a window, that the heat must be coming from the fireplace in the room below. Adding that the thermostat on the wall reflected the temp in the fireplace and not the room. HA!
The room had a sm refrigerator, coffeepot and microwave.
Beds were comfortable.
Free Wireless Internet
Above average continental breakfast.
Helpful Staff
We enjoyed a quiet inside room, which was away from the street and on the second floor of the three-story elevator-serviced building. The desk clerks were cheerful, courteous, and professional, assisting us in locating a room for two nights on a busy weekend. The complimentary buffet breakfast included sausage, eggs, and potatoes in addition to the standard cereals, pastries, and juices. We appreciated the tasteful decor in the lobby, breakfast area, and rooms and had no complaints.
Roomy and cheerful
We have stayed at both Best Western's in Eureka and enjoyed them. The Bay Shore is larger and away from traffic noise. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We will stay there again when we visit family there.
Great if you are careful to avoid street rooms

Comment-Attendant does excellent job. Separate room for those avoiding typical loud morning news channels in most breakfast rooms. Hot potatoes, sausage, etc. This is what it should be.
Eureka is known for maximizing income from visitors who have little choice along this section of the Pacific Coast. For an area with a depressed economy, accommodations, food, and fuel are suspiciously similar in height and cost. This is one of the better places to stay in the Eureka area where normally visitors are perceived as fruit to be picked. Borders bookstore with good selection of newspapers (including Wall Street Journal) is nearby in adjacent mall.
In Eureka the default tourist attraction is watching the trees grow. The local service zeitgeist is abysmal. The greens have shut the economy down. Be prepared to entertain yourself. High end shopping in Old Eureka. The inmates at Humboldt State are now in charge of the asylum.
Will stay again
We visit family up here a couple times a year.
This is the BW we will return to. Why?
Nice, clean and staff was polite! really enjoyed the indoor pool area. Avoid the Marie Callendars because service is slow.
This is the better Best Western in Eureka avoid the other one unless youwish to be treated poorly or like noisy rooms
Bed like a rock; noisy street
We were booked to stay two nights at BW Bayshore, but moved after one. Bed was like a rock. Our room faced the mall and had a good deal of street noise. For $100+ I expected better.
We stay here every time we go to Eurkea!
We agree - Best Western Bayshore Inn is the best place to stay in Eureka. We go frequently to visit family and just love it. We have never been disappointed - it is always clean, the folks are always friendly and the facilities are great. Also the location is central for a longer visit - it is near to everything - movies, mall, restaurants, Old Town, the college. And the staff is always friendly and happy to see you. And the piano and cookies in the lobby are so inviting. Come and enjoy Eureka!
Excellent front desk attendant!!!
we stayed at this hotel at the end of our spring break vacation on april 16, 2004...we were behind schedule, had been driving for six hours from coos bay, oregon to eureka and were totally tired, hungry and cranky. the front desk attendant (Mark?) was friendly and sympathetic to my 12-year old son's burning desire to go for a swim even tho the pool was due to close in like, five minutes, and arranged to, let's just say, accomodate a what would have been VERY disappointed kid. the marie callendar's reastaurant next door provided room service and the next morning we were happy to partake in the very satisfactory buffet breakfast offered in the main building. we appreciated the special touch of those luggage-trolly things that were outside the elevator (our room was on the 3rd floor) so we could get everything up to the room for all 4 of us in one trip. the hotel was completely booked and yet the people were friendly, the room was clean and inviting, and there was plenty of parking. we will definately choose this hotel again on our next trip north, and recommend it to all of our friends who travel from the bay area.
Great Stay
We stayed at this hotel several nights in July while my husband was on business. THe hotel is great and the location is nice. It sits right on the bay and we watched the boats come and go all day. The mall is directly across the street which the children loved. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. The hotel staff was more than helpful and the breakfast choices at the hotel even met my pickiest child's taste.
The pool, spa, sauna and fitness room were very nice as well. The pool is half indoor/half outdoor. I will definitely go back.
Nice Place
This three floor hotel was quite nice. We stayed for one night while traveling through Northern California. The rooms were fairly large with nice new furnishings. We had a nice variety at the continental breakfast - sausage, bacon, oatmeal, flavored tea, coffee, grapes, oranges, bananas, cereal, pastries, bagels and toast. We didn't get to use the pool because it only stayed open until 8 pm. Wish it would have stay open at least till 10 pm. The view of the bay was overlooking a work yard out back. Not bad though.

Unfortunately, we said goodbye to the Oregon Coast today. We got up this morning and explored part of the Gold Beach Coast, which was conveniently located behind our hotel.

VIDEO: Fuld pulls A's within a run of Angels in the ninthApril 30th, 2015, 4:36 pm by MARK CARLISLE
Video via MLB.com.
A few minutes ago, the Angels were cruising to an easy 6-2 win. Now, they needed a miracle.
Center fielder Sam Fuld brought the A's within a run of the Angels Thursday in Oakland with this RBI single to center. Left fielder Mark Canha held up at third, deciding not to test the arm of Angels center fielder Mike Trout.
The A's now had the bases loaded, the winning run at second, with one out in the ninth.
Fuld, who has a .236 career batting average, has hit .319 in his career in the ninth inning.Read the rest of this entry »

Arizona State 4, Stanford 2
The No. 3 Sun Devils took the series opener behind strong pitching performances from starter Seth Blair and relievers Mitchell Lambson and Jordan Swagerty. After allowing two runs over the first two innings, Blair got out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth by getting Stephen Piscotty to fly out to right field. After giving up two singles in the fifth, he struck out Jake Schlander and Dave Giuliani to get out of that jam. He allowed only a single to Tyler Gaffney in the sixth, his final inning. Overall, the righty, who improved to 11-0 on the season, allowed two earned runs on eight hits in six innings, while striking out five and walking three on 115 pitches.
For Stanford, starting pitcher Brett Mooneyham also provided a strong outing, allowing three earned runs on eight hits in seven innings, while striking out seven and walking three on 135 pitches. He allowed a run in the second inning on doubles from Zach Wilson and Deven Marrero. In the third, he walked Kole Calhoun with two outs, allowing singles from Riccio Torrez and Wilson to drive in Calhoun. In the fourth, Raoul Torrez walked and eventually scored on a Zach MacPhee sacrifice fly, giving Arizona State a 3-2 lead. For the most part, Mooneyham held the best offense in the Pac-10 in check, allowing only two base runners over the next three innings, despite getting into deep counts.
Former walk-on Colin Walsh hit his team-leading seventh home run of the year to right field in the first inning. In the second inning, back-to-back doubles by Schlander and Dave Giuliani gave the Cardinal a 2-1 lead. However, the offense would not score the rest of the game, despite rallying in the fourth and fifth innings.
In relief of Blair, Lambson, who was making his team-leading 34th appearance, allowed only one base runner (on an error) in 2.1 innings. The righty Swagerty recorded the final two outs, getting his team-leading 13th save.
For Stanford, Brian Busick and Scott Snodgress combined to allow an unearned run over the final two innings. Gaffney was the only Stanford batter with two hits, but Walsh added two walks to his home run. Junior Zach Jones started behind the plate, but was hit on the hand on a bunt attempt in his first at-bat and was forced to leave the game. He ended up missing the rest of the series and his status for the rest of the season is unknown.
Stanford 5, Arizona State 2
Righty Jordan Pries allowed two earned runs on six hits, while striking out six and walking three over eight-plus innings, as the offense took the lead early, helping the Cardinal even the series. Pries faced four over the minimum during the first eight innings and was taken out after walking two batters in the ninth and having thrown 129 pitches. Alex Pracher allowed a two-out, two-run base hit to Raoul Torrez, the only two runs charged to Pries. All six hits that he allowed were singles, as he commanded both his fastball and slider to keep the Arizona State threats to a minimum. He seemed to follow a consistent formula for success throughout the game, pin-pointing his fastball on the outside corner to get ahead in the count, and not giving the hitters anything too good to hit for the rest of their at-bats. An Arizona State runner reached second base on only three occasions: in the second, fourth, and ninth innings.
An Eric Smith single followed by shortstop Drew Maggi's fielding error helped Stanford rally in the second inning. After Jake Stewart reached on a fielder's choice, Tyler Gaffney doubled down the left-field line on the first pitch he saw to give Stanford a 2-0 lead. In the fourth, Smith singled, advanced to second base on a ground out, then scored on a bloop single to center field by Stewart. After a Colin Walsh walk followed by a Stephen Piscotty double in the fifth, Walsh scored on a soft grounder to the shortstop by Ben Clowe. Stanford added their fifth run in the seventh inning when Clowe hit a sharp grounder that third baseman Raoul Torrez could not handle, driving in Gaffney.
Arizona State's Merrill Kelly, who had only lost once all season, allowed five runs (three earned) on 11 hits, while striking out four and walking one in seven innings. He, like Pries, also pitched pretty well, but a few timely hits by Stanford prevented him from keeping the offense at bay. The error in the second helped give Stanford the lead. Stewart fought off a low pitch in the fourth into center field, which was Kelly's first earned run. The soft grounder by Clowe in the fifth was also unlucky for Kelly. However, he did allow more base runners than Pries and was in jams in all but the third and sixth innings. For Stanford, Gaffney, Piscotty, and Clowe, who was batting fourth, all had two hits while Smith had three and scored two runs. For the Sun Devils, the Torrez brothers, Riccio and Raoul, each had two hits.
Arizona State 8, Stanford 6
Arizona State (47-8, 20-7 Pac-10) scored four runs in the final three innings, as relievers Mitchell Lambson and Jordan Swagerty shut the door in the eighth and ninth, helping the Sun Devils steal the series.
With Arizona State down 5-4 in the seventh inning with two outs, Jake Schlander's throwing error led to a two-run rally for the Sun Devils. After Raoul Torrez reached on the single, Xorge Carrillo and Drew Maggi both singled to load the bases. Then, Zack MacPhee singled to right field, giving Arizona State the 6-5 lead. Danny Sandbrink was replaced by Scott Snodgress, who hit Riccio Torrez with a pitch in the eighth. Snodgress was replaced by Alex Pracher, who allowed two more singles, giving the Sun Devils a two-run lead.
Stanford (31-23, 14-13 Pac-10) added a run in the bottom of the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Jake Schlander that plated Ben Clowe, but Arizona State got that run back in the top of the ninth when MacPhee scored on a Riccio Torrez double.
It was a tough loss for Stanford, as they took the lead with a three-run rally in the fourth. After Adam Gaylord, who hit a two-run homer in the second, flied out, four straight hitters reached base. Jake Stewart drove in Dave Giuliani with a single. Then, Tyler Gaffney reached on an error by the second baseman MacPhee, allowing Schlander to score. Finally, Colin Walsh hit an RBI sacrifice fly to left field, giving the Cardinal a 5-4 lead.
Freshman righty Dean McArlde allowed four earned runs on five hits in five innings for Stanford. Sandbrink allowed four hits in 1.2 innings and was the tough-luck loser, allowing two unearned runs.
For the Sun Devils, righty Jake Borup, who has only lost one game all season, allowed five runs (three earned) on five hits in four innings. Righty Brady Rogers, who had the second-best earned-run average in the Pac-10 entering the game (1.78) along with the third-best fielding-independent pitching (FIP) at 3.14 allowed one unearned run on one hit in 3.1 innings.
Overall, the Arizona State bullpen did not allow an unearned run the entire series, highlighting one of the reasons why they ended up as the Pac-10 champion. Leadoff hitter Drew Maggi hit two home runs and three hits total. Riccio Torrez went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored. Catcher Xorge Carrillo also had two hits.
For the Cardinal, Piscotty and Clowe each had two hits, while senior Adam Gaylord hit a home run in his final game at Sunken Diamond. Stanford finished the year with the fourth-best record in the Pac-10, behind Arizona State, UCLA, and Washington State.
Stanford is looking forward to participating in the regional playoffs and, with this competitive series, probably improved its standing. The Card will be a No. 2 seed to host Cal-State Fullerton, with New Mexico the No. 3 seed and Minnesota the No. 4 seed.

Moving Stats
- About 1 in 6 Americans move each year.
- The average American moves 11.7 times in a lifetime. (Wow! This is much higher than we expected.)
- ...But by age 44, only 3.1 more moves will be made in the average lifetime.
- One in three people living in renter-occupied housing units in March 1993 had moved in the previous year (32.9 percent). In contrast, fewer than 1 in 10 persons in owner-occupied housing units had moved in the same period (9.1 percent).
Now, this info is from way back in the early 1990's (and perhaps the most surprising thing of all is for us to realize that that's almost twenty-year-old data). But we surmise things haven't changed too much since then - do you think? Read more at the U.S. Census Bureau. Where do you fit in? Tell us your stats in the comments below!

Dr. Gott: Perimenopause could cause reader's chills
Dear Dr. Gott: I have cold chills all the time. Even in the summer, I wear long sleeves and pants while others are wearing shorts. It started about five years ago, when my father was dying in the hospital. I thought I may have picked up a virus while visiting, but it hasn't gone away. I don't take any meds or smoke. I am healthy, and my thyroid is OK. The doctors can't explain it. My nose is red all the time, and people tease me and say I drink too much, but I don't drink at all. I get goose bumps, and the hair stands up on my arms. I'm a 52-year-old female.
Dr. Gott: Antibiotics for rice bodies depend on the cause
Dear Dr. Gott: My healing wasn't complete a year following rotator-cuff surgery. My shoulder became red and swollen. My doctor opened it up to see what was going on and found "rice bodies" - thousands of them. I understand this is a rare thing and that little is known about the cause or the treatment. I am specifically interested in knowing what antibiotics should be used. I am now on infusion therapy. Also, could these be elsewhere in my body?

Willie Nelson bids his pigtails aloha
AUSTIN - Country music fans have come to expect a little eccentricity from legendary crooner Willie Nelson, but he pulled off a real shocker this time: He cut his hair.
Dear Abby: Wife's new flame leaves hubby burned
Dear Abby: A few months ago, I became suspicious that my wife of 40 years was having an affair with an old high school friend. At first, I thought I was misreading the signs.

I began gathering information and found it was true and that it had been going on for some time.
