If we do this, we lose

Hal -- If I'm working a campaign and looking at a poll, I don't want to be down 30 points. But you don't necessarily want to see a poll that shows you up 30 points before Election Day, either. Just look at what happened to Eric Cantor -- and look at what happened to Mitt Romney, whose polls showed him winning right up until we beat him. Here's why: When supporters think you're a surefire winner, sometimes they stop working quite so hard, and just sit back and wait for the Election Night celebration. That kind of complacency can kill a campaign -- I've seen it happen before. I really, really don't want to see it happen to Democrats this November, and that's why we all need to step up right now. Please pitch in $3 or more before the critical end-of-quarter deadline, and let's show the GOP that Democrats are hungry to hold on to the Senate and take back the House: https://my.democrats.org/Get-Your-Support-on-Record This all comes down to you, Hal, and voters and organizers in your community.
