This is bad:

Joe -- We just found out how much more money Mitt Romney and the Republicans have in the bank: $45 million. I hope that sounds like a lot to you, because it is. And it doesn't even include outside groups. That is a massive advantage to have with such a short time left. We have the power to decide whether that will be the determining factor in this election -- but only if everyone gets on board and does their part. Help close that cash-on-hand gap so our voices don't get drowned out in a tidal wave of negative ads -- chip in $5 or more now. I know this campaign has asked a lot of you. That's why it's so important that you step up now, when this race is so close. A $45 million disadvantage means we could have to fight back against an estimated 780 30-second ads in a battleground state like Colorado. With only 11 days left, that's a devastating prospect. Thanks to more than 4 million other grassroots donors, we're close, but we really need to close this gap -- and close it immediately. So, please don't wait any longer.
