• This is potentially devastating

    We got outraised last month, and not by a little bit.

    Part Two of getting outraised is getting outspent. That translates into a potentially devastating sweep of negative, misleading messaging that's going to flood the airwaves in swing states—over and over and over—until November 6th. It's already started, and it's only July.

    How this election plays out will define our democracy: Can super PACs and hundreds of millions of dollars from Republicans and the Romney campaign—through the brute force of negative advertising alone—drown out millions of voices?

    Or can the politics of inclusivity—asking supporters to chip in $5, $10, $25 at a time—keep the margin close enough to win?
