Obama Campaign Sends 'Urgent' Request for Cash

An email with the subject line “Urgent,” has been sent to President Obama’s supporters by campaign manager Jim Messina. It’s a request for campaign cash.

“Romney and the Republicans announced yesterday that they brought in more than $100 million in June,” Messina writes. “For context, that’s about what we raised in April and May combined. We’re still tallying our own numbers, but this means their gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could cost us the election.”
