President Obama’s campaign took a mopey message to supporters as they asked for more contributions to the reelection campaign.
“We got beat,” the subject of a message from campaign manager Jim Messina proclaimed. “For the first time in this campaign, we got beat in fundraising. The Romney campaign and the Republican Party raised more than $76 million last month, compared to our $60 million,” Messina said.

Messina attributed the fundraising gap to Romney’s wealthy donors before asking supporters to “fight like hell and help us win this thing.”
