It's like Karl Rove is running
their campaign:
Barack Obama has planned appearances at back-to-back
Beverly Hills fundraisers Tuesday evening, with the events on track
to raise more than $9 million combined, possibly breaking the
single-day fundraising record.
Anybody want to bet Steve Schmidt can't turn that into a
laugh-out-loud campaign ad by Wednesday morning? And here's a juicy
tidbit:
Fear is also a great motivator. With the rapid rise of
rival Sen. John McCain in the national polls over the past week and
the hubbub surrounding his vice presidential pick, Alaska Gov.
Sarah Palin, a renewed sense of urgency has gripped Democrats.
"People are really scared that McCain is gaining," said a Hollywood
politico involved with Tuesday's fundraiser. "In my 20 years here,
I have never seen folks write checks like this."
I love the smell of
panicky Democrats
in the morning! (Hat tip:
