Sebelius: Slattery needs help

Further evidence was sent this afternoon that Jim Slattery is in trouble in his Senate bid. After falling four points in his own internal polling, the campaign sent an official plea for cash from none other than Kathleen Sebelius herself.

The email raises further questions as to how the Slattery campaign has acquired certain email addresses. By Sebelius sending an email with an official Slattery campaign account, the governor joins with Slattery in ignoring basic email etiquette…don’t email me if I didn’t ask you to. It also raises the probability that Sebelius acquired the KDP email list and then passed it along to Slattery’s campaign.

The email also clearly marks the Democratic choice to challenge Pat Roberts…even though a fellow Democrat, Lee Jones, is still in the running. In fact, Jones has been a life long resident of Kansas and has thrown his hat into previous Senate races. Never mind that, says Sebelius. Apparently Democrats think primaries are for weenies.

Most importantly, the email shows the weakness of the Slattery campaign…how to raise money against a strong incumbent when you’ve already dropped four points in the polls by doing nothing more than declaring your intent to run for office.

Sebelius’ email also raises question about her proofreading ability.

“We can help him reach his goal today, and when we send him to Washington in November, he’ll help us realize our dreams for our great country”

Don’t you mean when we send him BACK to Washington???

As the Tuesday filing deadline approaches and Sebelius reaches for her Tiller PAC money to finance a troubled Slattery campaign, why don’t you make a contribution to Pat Roberts? As a Washington insider since ‘85, Slattery knows all the tricks to buying an election…it’s time we stand with Senator Roberts and let him know we won’t allow Sebelius/Tiller/Slattery to buy a Senate seat with Washington money.

And while you’re at it, why not send the governor an email and ask that, if she’s going to join in sending unsolicited spam, that she at least tell the truth…”Help me elect Jim Slattery, professional Washington lobbyist since 1995, hopeful Washington carpetbagger in ‘08…”
